Chapter 8: The Li Family

"My son, you're back! Are you trying to scare your mother to death? Liu said, and tears fell down his eyes.

Li Lingyu calmly comforted her mother, and then replied to Li Gengyu's questioning.

"Lingyu, you're scared to death Dad, if something happens to you, how about calling Dad and your mother?" Li Gengyu said with a frightened face: "Your grandfather didn't go to the yamen today, just waiting for your news at home, you go and see your grandfather." ”

Li Lingyu answered yes, handed over his mother to his three sisters, and went with his father to ask Li Zhaoguang for peace.

Li Zhaoguang is in good spirits, gentle and compassionate, but he has a good appearance, and people who don't know him will definitely think that he is an approachable grandfather.

Li Lingyu told what happened yesterday, and after speaking, he knelt down with a sincere face: "It's all grandchildren, it's not that I got lost outside, but it made my grandfather and second uncle worried, my grandson is a junior, it's really unfilial piety to make the elders so worried, please forgive my grandfather!" ”

Li Guanzhong stood aside, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but say: "Lingyu, you too, you said that you got lost, and I don't know if people come back with a word, seeing that your grandfather is worried, he hasn't slept well all night!" ”

This seems to be Li Lingyu's fault.

Li Lingyu nodded sincerely, and her handsome little face was full of guilt: "Let my grandfather worry about my grandson, and my grandson is really afraid." ”

Li Zhaoguang was originally a little displeased, but when he looked at his well-behaved and intelligent grandson, and then looked at Li Guanzhong, he felt displeased: "You don't say a word about Lingyu, as an elder, you took your nephew out and lost him, are you still reasonable?" Lingyu is sensible, I don't blame you, you still blame her! ”

Li Guanzhong said with an uneven face: "Dad, wasn't I too angry at that time? You said, Lingyu usually looks quite sensible, but this time there was such a big mistake during the exam, if it affects Min'er again, what if Min'er can't be enrolled? Father! Min'er is your eldest grandson! ”

After Li Guanzhong finished speaking, he glanced at Li Lingyu indignantly.

Li Zhaoguang frowned slightly, Li Minyu is his eldest grandson, he has been clever and cute since he was a child, and he is very loved by him.

Li Lingyu raised his head: "Second uncle, you don't have to worry about the eldest brother, the mountain chief is not the kind of person with a small belly, this time he chose to copy the "Diamond Sutra" as the content of the exam, just to select some people with real materials!" After a pause, she continued: "For such an important exam, most of the students will have nervous emotions in their hearts, and the words written at this time can best reflect a person's character, as long as they can meet the requirements of the mountain chief, the mountain chief will not refuse to leave!" ”

After Li Lingyu finished speaking, he looked at Li Zhaoguang with a shy and shy face: "Grandfather, grandson thinks that it is just an entrance exam, and the mountain chief has spent so much time, thinking that the mountain chief is a person who cherishes talents and loves talents!" ”

Li Zhaoguang showed a slight smile on his face, and he nodded: "Lingyu is right, as long as Minyu has real talent and learning, are you afraid that you won't be able to enter Tongze Academy?" ”

"Yes! Second uncle! Li Lingyu also said: "The eldest brother is so smart and so powerful, he will definitely be able to enroll!" Unlike me, I definitely don't have the qualifications to go to school. After speaking, he lowered his head gloomily.

Li Guanzhong thought about it, his son was indeed excellent, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud, but he still said: "Lingyu, you don't have to be depressed, even if you can't enter Tongze Academy, it's the same if we find a teacher to teach us!" But don't be burdened! ”

Li Zhaoguang glared at him: "You don't have to say a word!" After a pause, he looked at Li Lingyu: "Lingyu, you said there was a homicide outside the city?" ”

Li Lingyu's eyes flashed, and then he said seriously: "Back to my grandfather's words, this is indeed the case, but now that Chen County Order has received the news, he should be able to solve the case soon!" ”

Li Zhaoguang sneered: "Just him? It's just Ye Chaoming's lackey! After a pause, a calculation flashed in his eyes: "There was a murder during his tenure, and it was Ye Chaoming, which was enough for him to drink a pot!" I want to see how this case ends when this case is so big! ”

Hearing this, Li Guanzhong frowned faintly, and then said in a low voice: "Dad, Ye Chaoming is the emperor's confidant, this time the emperor sent Ye Chaoming to Dengzhou to make a history of assassination, and he must have the intention of looking at us, Ye Chaoming is the emperor's person, and now, the emperor has succeeded to the throne for many years, the crown prince has been established, and the government is stable, why should you cling to the past?" After a pause, he continued: "With your ability, as long as you are loyal to the emperor, the emperor will definitely reuse you!" I met Qi Yuanshan yesterday, and my attitude towards me was very cold, I heard that the Ye family has now returned to Ye Chaoming, why are you so stubborn......"

"Shut up!" Li Zhaoguang slapped the table, glared at Li Guanzhong angrily, and shouted: "Don't let me hear this a second time!" Otherwise, I wouldn't have you as a son! ”

This is the first time Li Zhaoguang has lost his temper with Li Guanzhong.

Li Guanzhong's face was helpless.

Li Zhaoguang said coldly: "If it weren't for the first queen, where would our Li family be rich and noble back then?" Others have forgotten the kindness of the first queen, and I, Li Zhaoguang, will not forget! Qi Yuanshan's villain with a grass on the wall, two sides and three swords, even if he is willing, I will never be with such a person! Hum! ”

Li Zhaoguang used to be the deputy envoy of the general administration department of the imperial court, a serious and serious four-grade member, he took refuge in the first queen's maiden Dingguo mansion as soon as he entered politics, but who knew that the first queen Fang forced the palace to rebel attempted, and the current emperor seized the throne and disposed of the first queen and the Dingguo Mansion, Li Zhaoguang, as a hardcore supporter of the former queen, was assigned to Dengzhou and made a small state judgment.

But even so, Li Zhaoguang has never forgotten the kindness of the first queen, and he can't see others say that the first queen is not good.

And Qi Yuanshan, like Li Zhaoguang, used to be the first queen's faction, but this time they were both implicated by the first queen and sent to Dengzhou. However, unlike Li Zhaoguang, Qi Yuanshan had long recognized the situation, and wanted to make friends with Ye Chaoming early on, taking this opportunity to express his loyalty to Emperor Qianzheng, just to revitalize the Ye family.

Only Li Zhaoguang is still stubbornly clinging to what he wants to be loyal to the former queen, Li Guanzhong doesn't care about anything else, but he is worried that his father is too stubborn, so that it will affect his son's future in the future.

So today, he knew that Li Zhaoguang would be unhappy, but he couldn't help but persuade him, and sure enough, he was scolded back by Li Zhaoguang.

"Yes, Dad, my son knows that he is wrong, don't be angry!" Li Guanzhong hurriedly apologized.

Li Guanzhong's sincere face is just what he thinks in his heart, only he knows.

Li Zhaoguang lost his temper, and he didn't have the heart to ask about Li Lingyu, so he sent everyone out, and as for Li Lingyu's enrollment, Li Zhaoguang didn't even ask.

Li Gengyu looked at his smart and sensitive son with a distressed face, and sighed worriedly: "Dad has heard about it, Lingyu, don't be afraid, even if you can't enter Tongze Academy, Dad will definitely find a good gentleman for you to teach you!" ”

Li Lingyu nodded absentmindedly, but she was still thinking about the murder case in her heart, she looked at Chen Fengyi's expression, this case obviously had another hidden secret, I really wanted to know.

Li Lingyu has never felt like this, she has a sense of grasping one thing, and all she thinks about is this matter.

Li Geng misunderstood her appearance when he saw her, and thought that she was disappointed that she couldn't enter Tongze Academy to study, and felt guilty in his heart.

"Lingyu, don't be too frustrated, maybe the mountain chief sees that you are outstanding and admits you again?"

When Li Lingyu heard this, she couldn't help laughing, after she took the lead in demolishing Zheng Heze's study? Still want to admit her? Her father is so simple!

"It's okay, Dad, don't worry, even if you can't go to Tongze Academy to study, it's okay......" After Li Lingyu finished speaking, he suddenly saw the porter running in panting.

"Master, someone from the Qi family is here, saying that they are here to find the second young master!"

As soon as Li Gengyu heard that he was looking for his son, he couldn't help but get nervous: "People from the Qi family? What are you looking for Lingyu for? Who is coming? Which master is there to serve? ”

"It's the third young master of the Qi family." The porter replied.

Just now Li Zhaoguang lost his temper with Li Guanzhong because of the Qi family's affairs, and the people of the Qi family came to Li Lingyu, if he let his father know, he would not blame Dao Lingyu?

Li Lingyu's eyes suddenly lit up, she was worried about the case, Qi Xiao sent it to the door by herself, it was really timely!

"Okay, I'll go!"

After Li Lingyu finished speaking, she hurriedly walked out, and Li Gengyu hurriedly stopped her.

"Lingyu, your grandfather doesn't like the people of the Qi family, it's better not to have too much contact with them, lest your grandfather be unhappy when the time comes."

Li Lingyu said patiently: "Dad, I know what you mean, but in fact, no matter what we do, my grandfather will not be happy." ”

As soon as he mentioned this, Li Gengyu felt guilty in his heart, and always felt that it was because of his own reasons that his son was not loved by his father.

Li Lingyu continued: "Dad, you also heard what the second uncle said just now, do you think what he said makes sense?" ”

Does Li Guanzhong's words make sense? Li Geng was stunned for a moment, although Li Guanzhong is his younger brother, he has been pressing on his head, relying on his own favor since he was a child and bullying him, he has complaints about this younger brother, and always feels that he will only rely on rhetoric to please his father.

But such a second brother will also plan for his son, and what he said to his father today was completely contradicting Li Zhaoguang, but he still said that it was for the sake of his son's future.

Just when Li Gengyu was still in a daze, Li Lingyu had already turned around and walked towards the gate.
