Chapter 245: You can't fight with your brother for your sister, right?
"When will the newcomers come in?" Li Fangrui squinted her eyes and drank half of the white porridge in the bowl.
Bai Lanmu replied: "I will enter the door in three days." ”
"I see." Li Fangrui waved her hand and motioned for Bai Lan to put away the dishes and plates.
Three days later, unlike Bai Lan's expected big deal, Xianglan, the concubine of the Zhao family, entered the Li Mansion from the side door in a soft sedan chair.
Bai Lan never figured it out, obviously the subordinates in the mansion said that the master was going to take the continuation of the strings, why did he make trouble in the end but became a concubine.
The subsequent development was beyond Bai Lan's imagination.
After only half a month's effort, the arrogant and domineering eldest lady in Bai Lan's eyes quickly controlled the forces of the Li Mansion with a thunderous blow, and even Master Li's most proud butler Li Bo was also taken under the command of the eldest lady.
Master Li's control over the Li Mansion and the Li family's business have also been completely hollowed out.
By the time Master Li found out that something was wrong, it was already too late.
"Daddy, it's time to drink the medicine." Li Fangrui came to deliver medicine to Master Li in person with a tray as usual.
In the past, Master Li would only feel that his daughter was intimate and filial.
It's a pity that this time is different.
Master Li opened the door with a cold face and let Li Fangrui in, Li Fangrui had just sat down, and he said with a cold face:
"I heard that you put most of the Li family's properties in Baishi County up for sale? Why didn't anyone tell me? I am the head of the Li family. ”
"Daddy, you're old, it's time to abdicate and make way for Xian, wouldn't it be better to hand over the Li family's shop to a more suitable person?" Li Fangrui didn't feel worried at all, sitting upright on the chair, and looking at her nails dyed with impatiens leisurely.
When Master Li heard this, his eyebrows rose up, and he pointed at Li Fangrui's nose and scolded:
"I'm only in my early fifties, and I'm not old and frail, besides, when Jiao Niang gives birth to Lin'er, I will naturally hand it over to him to inherit the Li family, you can't compete with your younger brother as an older sister, right?"
Li Fangrui tilted her head to look at her father in front of her with interest, chuckled, and said:
"So, Aunt Zhao is already pregnant?"
Master Li puffed up his chest proudly and said lightly: "It's been three months, and the doctor said that this fetus should be a son." ”
"Oh, then I'm going to congratulate Daddy." Li Fangrui's pink lips evoked a mocking sneer.
Master Li didn't hear the sarcasm in Li Fangrui's tone, and frowned and said: "So, you are a girl's family, don't get involved in the Li family's business, and when your Aunt Zhao gives birth to a younger brother, the Li family's family business will have an inheritor." ”
Li Fangrui couldn't hold back any longer, and burst out laughing.
Master Li looked at the daughter in front of him inexplicably, only thinking that she was disappointed and went crazy, "Hurry up!" The eldest lady lost her soul and took people down. ”
None of the little guys standing outside the courtyard moved.
Master Li raised his voice and shouted several times, but still no one listened to him.
"Daddy, I advise you not to waste your efforts, the people outside have long been replaced by my people, when you and Aunt Zhao are happy." The ridicule in Li Fangrui's words was a little deeper.
"You! You're unexpected! Master Li pointed at Li Fangrui's fingers and trembled, "Are you trying to make money and kill yourself?" ”
"Seeking money and taking your life? That's not it, after all, you are also my father, and my daughter is not such an unfilial person. Li Fangrui's eyes were bright, but the words she said were heart-wrenching.
"Since you are not the unfilial person, why do you want to take your brother's property? I read that you are just a first-time offender, and I lost my mind for a while, so I don't care about you, and in a few days, I will find a family for you and marry early. Master Li flicked his sleeves bitterly and gave an ultimatum.
"If I give up my family property to my 'younger brother', it will be unfilial." Li Fangrui deliberately bit the word 'younger brother', which was particularly ironic.
Master Li frowned, his heart was suspicious, and he wanted to ask, but he didn't know where to ask, sitting on the chair, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Li Fangrui didn't feel sorry for him at all, and the corners of her lips curled more and more sarcastically:
"Daddy, it's a shame that our family is still in the pharmaceutical industry, you didn't even find out that your mother, no, Aunt Du, after giving birth to a son, she put a small amount of sterilization in your daily porridge and rice."
As soon as the three words of sterilization san, the muscles on Master Li's face twitched a few times, his eyes suddenly widened, and his face was full of disbelief.
Li Fangrui held her cheeks with one hand, lazily swept over Master Li's shocked face, and smiled lightly:
"Aunt Du has already figured it out, she is afraid that she will be old and decrepit, she will not be able to hold you, and she is afraid that you will marry a new person, where can she remember her as an old person, so she will not do anything and sterilize.
"In this way, there are only two children in the house, me and my younger brother, and the wealth of the Li family will belong to my younger brother sooner or later. As for me, I am just a daughter, and I was taken care of by her when I was a child, and I will marry sooner or later, so I can't fight for anything.
"It's a pity that my brother is congenitally deficient, and he is sick all day long, she wants to have another one with you, but she can't."
Every time Li Fangrui said a word, Master Li's face became even darker.
Master Li had been wondering why he was only fifty, but he only had a son and a daughter.
At first, Master Li didn't think it was his own problem, he just thought it was Du Cuihua's problem.
However, Du Cuihua is well-maintained, and she will coax him, and after coming and going, Master Li also dispelled the idea of marrying a concubine.
Now that it was punctured by Li Fangrui, Master Li was like a balloon that had burst, and he was instantly resigned.
He sat on the chair for a long time, suddenly thought of something, and stood up suddenly: "So Zhao Jianniang's slut is not my child at all!" ”
Li Fangrui showed an expression of 'Congratulations on your right answer' on her face, "That's why I said that it would be unfilial if I really gave the Li family's property to that unwarranted brother." ”
"Someone! Come! Go and drag that slut surnamed Zhao in for me! When Master Li slapped the wooden table, his palms ached faintly, but it hurt even more to know the truth of the matter and the humiliation and grievance of being cuckolded.
Li Fangrui pursed her lips and chuckled, and got up:
"Daddy has to deal with household chores, and my daughter doesn't get involved. However, Daddy, Aunt Zhao is already married to Daddy, who is Daddy's person, and it is naturally up to Daddy to beat and scold, but don't kill people, and when the Zhao family comes to him, I'm afraid it's not good. ”
It's good that Li Fangrui didn't mention the Zhao family, but when it came to the Zhao family, Master Li was even more angry: "Zhao Deding knows everything, no wonder he is willing to give his daughter to me as a concubine, and he has been looking forward to letting me bring this Wang Ba hat for a long time." ”
Master Li understood that he was about to rush outside, but was stopped by Li Fangrui.
"Daddy, but you're going to find trouble with the Zhao family?" Li Fangrui still smiled on her face, "Daddy forgot, this Zhao family can be close to the king of northern Hebei, if you offend, I'm afraid that we won't want to continue the business in Baishi County." ”
"According to what you say, I can't even go to the Zhao Mansion to find trouble?" Master Li's face turned pig liver red, and his eyes were red.
"Of course you're looking for trouble, but not now." Li Fangrui helped Master Li sit down on the chair and patted Master Li on the back:
"Daddy, you have this handle, are you still afraid that the Zhao Mansion will not take care of it? If it really stiffens, but it is our Li Mansion who loses face in the end, does Daddy really want to make a mess known to the whole city? ”
Master Li is silent, if he really makes trouble, he will only be the one who will lose face at that time.
But how can he swallow this breath without making a fuss?
"Daddy, let's listen to your daughter's plan, it's not too late to make plans?" Li Fangrui leaned over and whispered a few words in Master Li's ear, and Master Li's originally frowning brows relaxed.
"I underestimated Rui'er." Master Li twisted his beard, and a touch of approval crossed his eyes, "If you are a man, you should really hand over the Li family to you." ”
"Daddy, let's talk about these ...... now" Li Fangrui pursed her lips, and there was no need to say the rest of the words.
Master Li remembered what Li Fangrui had just said, and the hatred for Du Cuihua in his heart reached its peak, and when he looked at his daughter in front of him, he could only sigh in a low voice:
"I'm old, but Rui'er is still capable, and the Li family will rely on Rui'er in the future."
Here, Li Fangrui used a little trick to get the family wealth, and over there, Song Lingyue was warming the pot with a family member and maid, talking about interesting things, and there was laughter and laughter in the small courtyard.
Song Lingyue thought of something, and pulled Song Yi's hand on the side: "Song Yi, you go to the kitchen and get a celadon jar out, it is the plum wine I brewed during the Qingming Festival, and I should be able to drink it at this time." ”
"Hey, slave and maid are going." Song Yi responded crisply, ran towards the kitchen with cheerful steps, and came out with a celadon jar after a while.
Aunt Li looked at the jar and said with a smile: "Isn't this the green plum wine that Lingyue pickled last time?" Can you drink it now? ”
Song Lingyue pursed her lips and smiled faintly: "It should have been brewed for half a year, so that the taste of the wine could be more mellow, but now it is only more than two months, and it can be drunk, but the degree is not so high." ”
She paused, looked around, and said: "But that's okay, most of the people in our yard are women's army, just let them drink the Taibai drunk of the Eight Immortals Building, and let us drink green plum brew." ”
Song Lingyue took the celadon urn from Song Yi's hand with a smile, broke the red mud seal, and instantly a smell of wine mixed with the refreshing smell of plum floated out leisurely.
Song Lingyue's nose sniffed at the mouth of the altar, and it was really fragrant: "Well, the fragrance is fragrant, if you take the ice cubes and drink it cold, it will definitely have a different taste." ”
"Then the slave will go and get some ice." Song Lingyue's words had just fallen, and Song Yi was already busy going to the cellar to store ice.
"It's a pity that there are no crystal cups, but porcelain bowls are also available." Song Lingyue poured the green plum stuffed in the urn into the porcelain bowl, which was not as beautiful as the transparent crystal cup.
