Chapter 256: Ancestor Worship
After realizing that he couldn't go home today, Jiang Liuli asked Minglang to go back and pick up Wuwu and Lingxi, I don't know what to cry like when I haven't seen him for so long.
Soon, all the Li family gathered in the main hall, Jiang Liuli and Lan Tingxuan were also called to the main hall, and then Master Li took Lan's mother to meet the Li family and explain the matter clearly.
"Ruolan, why are you so stupid." Li Yinan's father, Lan's mother's eldest brother, stepped forward, took her hand and said distressedly.
"Big brother, I'm sorry to worry you." Lan's mother looked at Father Li apologetically, in addition to her parents, the eldest brother is the person who loves her the most, but he is also the person she hurts the most.
"Silly girl, if there is anything, the eldest brother will help you, why do you have to bear so much pain alone." Father Li saw that there were already a few strands of white hair in her black hair, her eyes were sour and almost shed tears, her sister who was spoiled by her parents and brothers since she was a child, just because she met the emperor, she suffered so much, which made him particularly angry, and at the same time felt that he was so incompetent that he couldn't be relied on by his sister.
"At that time, I only thought about protecting Tingxuan, and I didn't want to affect the Li family, so I made such a stupid decision." Lan Mu smiled bitterly, if she knew that her departure would make her mother so sick, she would not leave them no matter what.
"You can't mess around in the future, you know? No matter what happens, the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother will support you. Father Li said with a sigh, although he knew what she made such a decision for, he was still a little unable to let go.
"Got it, big brother." Lan Mu nodded meekly, she will always be by her parents' side in the future, and she will not choose to escape no matter how difficult it is.
"Jingting, you go and prepare, and let Tingxuan and Liuli worship their ancestors tomorrow." Master Li's words made Jiang Liuli and Lan Tingxuan stunned, does the worship of ancestors mean that they plan to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors? He's slapping the royal family in the face.
Lan Tingxuan looked at Lan Mu on the side, and was relieved to see that she did not object, he could deny the royal family, but he couldn't even refuse the Li family.
"Yes, father." Although Father Li also felt that this thing was a little inappropriate, he could only listen to him when he saw his father's face that could not be refused.
It was relieved to think of what the royal family had done to his sister and nephew, why should they care about their feelings when they were so desperate.
As for the others, they are all the grandchildren of Master Li, so they naturally dare not refute what he said.
Now only Li's father is alone with his parents, and the second and third children of the Li family often go out to do business and are rarely at home.
Although the Li family is a family of eunuchs, they also do some small business, but their minds are not on this, and they are fully entrusted to the housekeeper.
Since Master Li resigned, his sons had no intention of becoming officials, so they began to seriously handle the family's business.
Although Li's father also wanted to help with the business, because his mother was often sick because she missed her daughter, and because she looked the most similar to her sister, her mother often held his hand on the sickbed to relieve the pain of lovesickness, so he decided to hand over the business to his two younger brothers to take care of, while he stayed at home to take care of his mother.
After the matter was explained clearly, Master Li asked everyone to go back to the house, and he pulled Lan's mother back to the main room and chatted with the old lady.
Jiang Liuli and Lan Tingxuan originally planned to find a place to stay alone for a while, but they were stopped by Li Yinan.
"Cousin, Nuan Nuan and Sorrow also need to worship their ancestors, I wonder if I can bring them over?" Li Yinan had already accepted this cousin, so he called his cousin unequivocally.
"I've already asked someone to pick them up, and according to the current situation of my mother and grandmother, I won't be able to leave tonight." Jiang Liuli looked at the sky and said, if it is getting late today, Master Li still has no intention of releasing people, and it is obvious that he does not plan to release people.
"You are really smart, just now my father has already ordered someone to prepare a guest room for you, and even arranged a task for me to persuade you to stay no matter what." Li Yinan looked at the two with a smile, and the sincerity in his eyes couldn't be more obvious.
"Don't worry, cousin, we won't leave tonight." Lan Tingxuan accepted everyone in the Li family very easily, and he was willing to call him a cousin, and he was even faintly excited in his heart.
"Okay, I'll tell my father." Li Yinan didn't expect to complete the task assigned by his father so easily, and hurriedly turned around and left the two of them aside.
"He came to us to talk about it?" Lan Tingxuan looked at Li Yinan who was walking away in a daze, and didn't say where their guest room was, where did they go to rest?
Jiang Liuli shrugged helplessly, since there was no room to rest for the time being, she could only go to Ruolan's guest room to stay.
The two stayed in Ruolan's guest room for a while, and the two children were picked up.
When Wuwu saw Jiang Liuli, he cried sadly again, looking at his appearance, it is estimated that he cried for a long time when she left, and her eyes were swollen from crying.
She reluctantly held him in her arms and comforted him softly, Lingxi was held in Lan Tingxuan's arms until she didn't cry, she just kept looking at them in a daze.
"Miss, I think you should take him with you no matter what you want to do in the future, as long as you can't see you, you will cry very much." Mingyue said helplessly, every time she heard his heart-rending cry, she was very mad.
"I know, even if I go to kill someone, I will take you with me." Jiang Liuli really has no choice about him, although he said last time that he would not leave him again, but today's situation is special, and he can't take him with him at all, so he left him behind despite his crying, and it is estimated that he was scared again this time.
"It seems that I have to sleep with them tonight, otherwise I will definitely cry in the middle of the night." Lan Tingxuan looked distressed, every time he was frightened, he wouldn't sleep at night.
"Alright, you two little villains will sleep with us tonight." Jiang Liuli was also worried that he would be woken up in the middle of the night, so he agreed to Lan Tingxuan's proposal.
"Then my wife and I will be able to sleep peacefully." Mingyue said happily after hearing this, every time the child cries in the middle of the night, she and Lan's mother and the nurse are coaxing, and no one dares to disturb her and Lan Tingxuan.
"It's as if they're crying every night." Jiang Liuli said disapprerovingly, on weekdays, Wuwu and Lingxi are very well-behaved, and they never make trouble when they sleep, only when they are frightened during the day or they are too crazy to play will cry in the middle of the night.
"But every time I cry, the nurse is looking for me and my wife." Mingyue retorted unconvinced, the nurse was embarrassed to look for them, so she could only come to find her who was alone.
"Who told them to recognize you as an aunt except for me and Tingxuan." She said lightly, if she wants to be the aunt of her children, how can she do it without paying.
Mingyue, who was still indignant, suddenly became better when she heard these words, although it was tiring to take care of them, but every time she saw them like herself so much, she felt that it was worth it no matter how tired she was.
After Master Li knew that the two children were taken over, he hurriedly asked people to bring them to the main room, but unfortunately he didn't want anyone except Jiang Liuli at the moment, so in desperation, she could only take the children to see him.
After Master Li saw the children, he wanted to hug them, but he didn't let them hug him, so he could only hug the well-behaved Lingxi and talk about tomorrow by the way.
Jiang Liuli listened to Master Li's arrangement, and there was a hint of hesitation in her heart, it was natural for Lingxi to recognize the ancestor of the Li family, but worry-free was not the child of her and Lan Tingxuan, and it seemed a little inappropriate for him to recognize the ancestor of the Li family.
"Grandfather, Sorrow is not my and Ting Xuan's child, he is just our godson." After thinking about it again, she still decided to tell Master Li the truth.
Master Li was stunned when he heard her explanation, he never thought that Wuwu would not be their child, because they loved Wuwu no less than Lingxi's.
"As long as you recognize him as a son, then he is my great-grandson." Master Li thought about it and said with relief, no matter whether he had Lan Tingxuan's blood in his body or not, he still recognized his identity.
"Thank you, grandfather." Lan Tingxuan didn't expect him to admit it so readily, it would be a lie not to be moved.
"Sorrow is so cute, I already think of him as my great-grandson." Master Li said with a smile, the old people like children, and he is no exception, but unfortunately none of the grandchildren in the family have children.
When Master Li was young, he devoted himself to serving the imperial court and rarely accompanied his children, except for taking time out every day to check their homework, the rest of the time was spent on court politics.
But now it's different, he's old, he's not as busy as he was when he was young, and when the time is free, he wants to tease his grandson, as the saying goes, the next generation is the closest, he is naturally no exception, he can be strict with his sons and daughters, but he can't be strict with his grandchildren.
Although he likes his grandchildren very much, he has been living in grief because of the sudden death of his daughter, and then when his mood improves, he begins to take care of his wife, who is often sick, and has no time to spend with his grandchildren, and he has never taken care of his children and grandchildren in his life.
When he reacted and wanted to accompany his grandchildren, he found that they had grown up and had long forgotten what they looked like when they were children.
Not being able to participate in the children's childhood life is the regret of his life, and it is too late to make up for it, but fortunately, the children are very filial and do not resent because of their grandfather's neglect.
Now that I have two lovely children at home, the heart disease that has been stumbling in my heart has disappeared, and I can finally accompany the children well.
Looking at the lovely appearance of Lingxi and Wuwu, I really like it, and I have the feeling of wanting to give them all the good things in the world, which is naturally not to be underestimated after four generations.
After coaxing for a long time, Wuwu was finally willing to let go of Jiang Liuli, willing to let Master Li hold her, but the tearful eyes still stared at her tightly, afraid that she would disappear in the blink of an eye.
In desperation, Jiang Liuli could only sit there until Wuwu was completely relaxed, and then he could stand up and walk around, but he still didn't dare to leave the room.
