Chapter 219 Mrs. Lee's Calculations
But his previous plan, the mother-in-law at home knows. The so-called is not a family, not entering a family, although this steward was scolded, he didn't dare to mess around anymore, but his mother-in-law and his own man was a small steward, and his uncle was a big steward in the house.
After hearing that her man no longer had the idea of fighting the pair of treasure chairs, she couldn't sit still when she thought about the sixty yuan she spent, and she lost sixty yuan in vain, how could she be willing? I was distressed for a few days, thinking that the Zeng family was just a poor scholar, how could the Li family be powerful? So he had the courage to take the pair of imitation inferior treasure chairs that had been made earlier, and found a mother-in-law who was usually in cahoots with her, and went to Sheraton to make a scene according to the method that his man said before, thinking that even if he couldn't ruin Sheraton's reputation, at least he could get the lost money back, and then blackmail Sheraton for a sum of money, so that his useless man could see his own ability.
This is a farce.
When the person in charge learned that his mother-in-law was locked up in the yamen, he was naturally anxious, but he didn't dare to ask for help, so he had to find his uncle to help find a way. The big steward was angry that the nephew had nothing to do all day long, and he couldn't do a serious job, so he scolded him fiercely, and even more thought that the daughter-in-law was too lazy and hardworking, thinking that the nephew had married this daughter-in-law, it was more and more disagreeable, and he said that he wanted the mother-in-law to stay in the cell.
I don't want my nephew to rely on the momentum of the Li Mansion on weekdays, and he is also a villain outside, but he has some affection for his mother-in-law, and he begged him to turn it over, and the big steward can't bear to really care about this nephew, so after thinking about it, this is why the little steward came to beg Mrs. Li.
Little Steward Li only thinks that his uncle refuses to help him, and Mrs. Xindao has always been an ornament at home, so what's the use of begging her? But the chief steward refused to let go and beg the master, he had no way to go, and he didn't dare to take this matter to the master of the foreign office, so he went to find the lady as a live horse doctor. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li groaned for a while, and actually agreed to stand up for him.
Li Xiao was blinded at that time, and he really didn't expect things to be so easy. But it was a good thing that Madame could promise him, and she went happily.
And why Mrs. Li agreed to him, but she also had her own thoughts.
She married such a man, it was a helpless move, she simply followed his all kinds of shameless nonsense, and the dirty things in the backyard, but she didn't see all of them, and she was married for many years before giving birth to Li Yong's son. A woman has to find a person to rely on all her life, Li Yuanwai has never expected it, and she has put all her thoughts on this son.
But he didn't want to have such a father, and his son also developed a gentleman.
Finally, this year, her son was motivated, had his own affairs, and had his own powerful friends, that Lu Family Seventeen Lang, she also secretly paid attention to it, and felt that she would not be bad for her son in the future, Lu Family Seventeen Lang's thoughts, she may not understand, but it is better than her son messing around with some sons and brothers who do not follow the right path all day long.
The son finally got on the right path, and the partial-minded foreigner wanted to offend the person who helped his son for the sake of his own interests, so how could she agree? I don't want to think that this family will always be left to my son in the future.
Although she has not done anything for many years, it looks like a decoration in the backyard of the Li family, but no matter how many warblers and swallows there are in the backyard of the Li family, after so many years, all of them know it, no matter how much they are favored, this lady who usually ignores the lord with a kind attitude cannot be offended, the reason is very simple, as long as she gets in front of Mrs. Li, she is either sold by Li Yuanwai, or thrown into the back house from now on, leaving life and death.
Li Yuanwai didn't say anything about this lady, if he really asked her to come out, he would probably respond. If it were not for the support of Mrs. Li's mother's family in the early years, he might not have been in a high position later. Although the position of a foreigner is not said to be high, it is also a position that is impossible for many officials to work hard all their lives, not to mention that he is in the ministry, and he can be in charge of how many officials can stay in office, and he is fat and short.
And Mrs. Li's maiden family has always been good, which makes Li Yuanwai never underestimate Mrs. Li, especially when he is now at home, Mrs. Li and her brothers hold important positions in the court. At such a time, Mrs. Li made some reasonable requests, and it was even more impossible for Li Yuanwai to ignore them.
Mrs. Li listened to the foolish things done by Xiao Li's housekeeper's mother-in-law, but she also thought about it, knowing that this was still a small fight, if Li Yuanwai was allowed to do it, I was afraid that things would not be so simple, and when the time came, how could it be easy to redeem it? It's better to take advantage of this moment and pinch the sprouts first.
She has to protect her son, although the Li family is such a son, but there is a large group in the backyard, no one can be guaranteed to have another one, and no one can snatch the son's own, but Li Yuan's outside may not necessarily be his son's. The laws of the Great Song Dynasty all stipulate that no matter how much they are born, they have the right to inherit the inheritance. She calculated this account very clearly. Besides, my son also needs the help of these serious friends.
Therefore, as soon as Xiao Li begged, she agreed. Because of this, I gave the Zeng family Banniang a guarantee. Li Yuanwai promised not to conflict with the Zeng family's business from now on, and not to calculate behind his back, that is the best, if she doesn't agree, she has been in the Li Mansion for many years, how can she really just eat dry rice?
And Banniang has been assured by Mrs. Li herself, so naturally she will not have nothing to do. The so-called harmony makes money, she is not willing to confront others when her strength is not as good as others. Even if he wins by then, it will probably be the result of killing a thousand enemies and destroying eight hundred.
Therefore, as soon as Mrs. Li took the initiative to make a clear guarantee, she agreed. Whether Mrs. Li can do it or not, at least she can buy her some time. In the case that her carpentry shop business has only just opened, the time of development is the most important thing for her. When she has a firm foothold, it will not be so easy for the Li family to deal with her.
The two reached an agreement, Banniang had lunch at Li's house, then said goodbye and went back, Mrs. Li personally sent her out of the backyard, before she was about to get on the sedan chair and go out of Li's house, she saw Li Yong led Lu Seventeen to come over to meet Mrs. Li, and when she saw Banniang, Li Yong was surprised, how could the eighth sister of the Zeng family be in her own home? After seeing each other twice, Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Your cousin has been here for several days, and there is no playmate at home, so I invited Miss Zeng Ba to come over and accompany her to a lively place." ”
Li Yong has grown a lot in the past year or so, and with the previous incident, he also knew a rough idea, so he guessed that his mother invited Zeng Bamei over, probably to intercede for the little steward. Because it was his mother, he had no scruples, and said straightly: "Mother, those stupid things that are not enough to succeed and more than to lose, what do you care about them?" ”
Mrs. Li glared and reprimanded, "In front of the guests, what are you talking about?" ”
Say goodbye to Banniang again.
Lu Qiqi also saw the salute, and said with a smile: "I've been disturbing in the house for a long time, since I met the eighth sister, I will send her back by the way." ”
Mrs. Li knew that he was going to ask Miss Zeng Ba why she had invited her to the house, and she didn't stay long, so she asked Li Yong to send the two out of the Li Mansion.
Banniang rode in a car, Lu Seventeen rode a horse, and went all the way to Zeng's house.
After leaving the Li Mansion and walking for a while, Banniang lifted the sedan curtain and asked Lu Seventeen with a smile: "Why did you come back?" Done with the country? My brothers are also at home these days, if you are free, go to my fifth brother and play with them. said that in a few days, they would go to Nancheng together. ”
Lu Seventeen said yes, so he asked Mrs. Li to find her, but it was for the sake of the previous matter.
Banniang said Mrs. Li's words. Lu Qiqi said with a smile: "With Mrs. Li coming forward, I think I can stop for a few days." When you turn around, you send someone to the yamen and tell them to be released. I estimate that because of this incident, Mrs. Li should compensate you somewhat, and when the time comes, no matter what Mrs. Li takes, you can only manage and accept it uprightly. ”
Banniang heard him say this, so she naturally said yes. Lu Qiqi had nothing to do, so he went to Zeng's house together and talked to a few sons of the Zeng family.
After a few days, except for Zeng Ziye, who stayed in Nanfeng City because he was the eldest son, the other brothers planned to go to Nancheng County again, so it was not good to delay their studies. In Xujiang College, I still have to continue to go. Banniang thought about Qiao Junsheng, so she told Zeng Zigu, Zeng Zigu didn't know much about Qiao Junsheng, but Wulang on the side praised a few words, Zeng Zigu asked Wulang to invite Qiao Junsheng to his home first, he had to compare Qiao Junsheng's literary knowledge first, so that he could know it in his heart.
Later, I saw that Qiao Junsheng's speech and demeanor were also extraordinary, literary talent and knowledge, no worse than Zijian, Qiao Junsheng was a poor man's child who had been in charge of the family early, and he was exiled with his grandfather when he was young, and he was more calm than Wulang and Zijing, and because of the relationship between the Qiao family and Banniang Shop, he simply let Qiao Junsheng go to Nancheng together.
As soon as the brothers left, the house was clean. On that day, Banniang went to the woodware shop, and saw Wu Sanniang looking for her.
Because of the last incident, Wu Sanniang wants to avoid the limelight, this time I have not been out much, seeing Wu Sanniang, thinking that I haven't seen him for a few days, and I am thinking about the last time, Banniang is also very happy.
The two sisters sat happily and talked. After chatting for a while, I talked about the Cui family's lady who went back to the Li family last time.
