Over there, Li Zhuoran said to everyone: "What are you happy about? On the day I was admitted to Xiucai, everyone will come to congratulate me again, and my brother will dare to continue. ”

Li Zhuoyuan smiled: "It's a matter of time." ”

But in my heart, I thought, "Don't think about it in this life." ”

Li Zhuoran returned home and told the old lady and daughter-in-law about going to Huzhou, both of them were overjoyed, and Mrs. Li wiped her tears. At this time, the clansmen who got the news came to congratulate and flatter one after another, and praised Li Tianhua.

Li Zhuoran saw that everyone was flattering his father and son, and he was very ironing and useful, and said with a smile: "This kid is not like me at all, but he is a little bit smart as his eldest uncle." He is humble, and he also praises his son, and uses Li Zhuohang to elevate his son.

One of them chimed in: "In the future, I will be like his eldest uncle." ”

Another said, "Ouch, look at this look like his uncle." ”

Two of them looked closely, and said that they were really a bit similar.

When everyone took a closer look, they were all surprised: "It's really like it." ”

Li Zhuoran didn't care about this at all, he was very calm, because Li Zhuohang was mostly outside and didn't know his daughter-in-law at all, he heard this, and only deliberately hinted that Li Tianhua had a relationship with Li Zhuohang, because he smiled and said: "I don't want him anymore, send his eldest uncle to be his son." It also saves me from worrying. ”

When they heard this, they thought to themselves, "This is really going to be passed." ”

Li Zhuoran's daughter-in-law was also full of joy, and she felt honored when others said that her son looked like Li Zhuohang, but she didn't feel embarrassed. She said: "His eldest uncle doesn't want him, he is naughty to death, and he can eat it." ”

Li Zhuoran said: "Children are not greedy. ”

Everyone laughed, but Mrs. Li was silent.

That night, Li Zhuoran and his wife were happy, and during the period when Mrs. Li was suspended, they were all helping in the big house, and they had not been intimate for many days.

In the Li family's mansion, Li Zhuohang and his daughter sat on the second floor of the main house in the second courtyard, leaning on the beauty and looking up at the sky. Through the orange light of the lantern, the wooden carving of the pine crane on the opposite beam is clearly visible, and the beam of the main hall at the foot is also carved with intricate character stories. The doors and windows, columns, hangings, railings, etc. of this mansion are all exquisitely carved, and the simplicity of the construction contains luxury, condensing the family background and heritage of the Li family.

This place is his roots.

Even though the parents are gone, the roots are still there. As far as his eyes can see, every corner hides the laughter of his growth, and imprints the footprints of his growth.

After reading it, he lowered his head and asked his daughter: "That day you said that the eldest uncle in the west of the village wanted to eat you, so you ate him first." But really? ”

Li Hanyao said: "It's true. ”

Li Zhuohang asked: "Do you dare to eat him?" ”

Li Hanyao ate and laughed, threw herself into his arms and coquettishly refused, thinking that he shouldn't have broken his words so clearly, she just said that.

Li Zhuohang put his hands under her armpits, lifted her, put her on his lap and sat up straight, then stared into her eyes and said seriously: "People can't eat, but you can let them use it for you and work for you to earn money." ”

Li Hanyao said: "Is he disobedient? ”

Li Zhuohang said softly and firmly: "Then find a way to make him obedient." ”

Li Hanyao said: "If he still wants to listen?" ”

Li Zhuohang said: "Smart people always have a way. As long as the ability is sufficient, anyone can use it for you, and it can be of great use. According to their characteristics, the amount can be used. Make the best use of your talents and make the best use of your resources. ”

Li Hanyao listened attentively.

Li Zhuohang asked: "Do you understand?" ”

Li Hanyao said: "I see." As long as you are smart, you can make them obedient. The little pockmark was disobedient at first, and then I fed the eggs, and (it) was obedient. ”

Li Zhuohang said with a straight face: "No." You must not have that thought. There are some people you can't get to bow down to you. Obedient people have obedient usages, and disobedient people have disobedient usages. In this world, some people can use coercion, inducement, deterrence, and submission for their own use; But there are some people, you have to respect him, you have to be friends with him, and you must not use these means. ”

Li Hanyao seemed to understand whether she understood or not, but she remembered this.

Li Zhuohang asked again: "Do you know that today in the ancestral hall, why did your father promote your third cousin uncle instead of your eldest uncle?" ”

Li Hanyao said: "I don't know. ”

Li Zhuohang said: "Because your third uncle is honest and sincere, he can win the trust of the guests." This is one. There is another important reason: he has your third aunt behind him. ”

Li Hanyao asked, "The third aunt is very powerful?" ”

She remembered this aunt Bai.

Li Zhuohang said: "Yes! Your third aunt is very talented in business, but because she was from a humble background and illiterate, she didn't dare to publicize it, so she hid behind your third uncle. I didn't mention her for the time being, because I was afraid that everyone would not be convinced, and let her go through a few more years.

"And your Uncle Zhuo Wang, who has no business acumen and used to hunt for a living, my father asked someone to teach him martial arts, and let his father and son be the Li family's nurse.

Although Li Zhuoran is useless, his son Li Tianhua is a material that can be made, and if he cultivates it, he will be better than his father in the future.

"It's ridiculous that they don't look at people, they always say that Li Tianming is smart, but in fact, that kid has average qualifications, and some are just a little smart.

"When we employ people, we can't just look at the present, we must always pay attention to the training of follow-up manpower, otherwise when the experienced old man goes, the strength will not ......continue."

Li Zhuohang taught his daughter the way to control people.

Jiang Yuzhen finished his housework, walked to the patio, looked up at his father and daughter, smiled slightly, and turned around to tell Zheng's mother a few words. Zheng's mother went into the house. When he was young, he brought two maids and brought some melons and fruits upstairs with the Jiang family.

At this moment, a terrible woman's scream suddenly sounded in the silent night sky: "Ah-" followed by "Woo" as if someone had covered her mouth, and fell silent.

Li Zhuohang's father and daughter were unprepared, Li Zhuohang had a layer of hairy pimples on his back, and clearly felt Li Hanyao trembling in his arms, hurriedly hugged her in his arms, patted her on the back and said, "Don't be afraid." He said in a deep voice, "Tell someone to go out and have a look." ”

Zheng's mother hurriedly said "I'll go" and turned around and went downstairs.

Jiang came up with the maid.

Li Hanyao looked over her father's shoulder, saw her, and hurriedly shouted: "Mother." ”

Jiang hurriedly asked, "Were you scared just now?" ”

Li Hanyao said: "No...... It was a shock. ”

She first wanted to deny it, and then admitted that she was scared.

Jiang instructed the maid to put the fruit plate on the other side of the chair, and then load two fruit plates for his father and daughter, sat down next to Li Zhuohang, hugged Li Hanyao over, and let Li Zhuohang eat melons and fruits, while frowning: "Who is this?" It's a mad man. ”

Li Zhuohang shook his head and said, "It will be clear when Mother Zheng comes back." Listening to that ominous voice, of course he would not turn a deaf ear.

A quarter of an hour later, Mama Zheng came in with Mowen.

Mo Wen stood in the patio, turned his back and replied: "My father took someone to ask, it is Li Tongsheng's house in the west of the village." He didn't open the door at first, and he shrank his head and didn't come out. The left and right neighbors were startled by the voice, and they all came out to ask, and his wife opened the door. said, she scolded her daughter-in-law for something, and the daughter-in-law said two words, Li Tongsheng said that the daughter-in-law was not filial, and the daughter-in-law screamed. ”

Li Zhuohang asked: "Can Li Tongsheng come out?" ”

Mo Wen said: "No. ”

Li Zhuohang felt strange: Li Zhuoran was fine during the day, and he was happy to take him to Huzhou, why did he quarrel at home at night?

However, it is inconvenient for him to delve into this matter, if it involves the privacy of the bed between the husband and wife, wouldn't it be embarrassing? He waved Mowen out.
