Volume III-2 The Road Back to Beijing (XII) (Part I)
The Road Back to Beijing (XII) (Part I)
Li Feng was invited by Tang Lan's grandmother to come to the Fuxi River when the Li family did not pass through the door in the early years, and this side was mainly the main residence of the Guanyun Temple, the Jin family and the Tang family. Later, after her daughter got married, she spent most of her time in Kansai, even when Tang Lan was in the capital, because of her cold personality, the Tang family rarely feasted in the capital, let alone Mengshan, which was so far away. After Yu Yanyan entered, Tang Lan specially built another courtyard for her here, and she would not think of inviting people from the Li family to Fuxi River.
Later, in order to show her and Tang Xiaoxiao's Baihuatang to the circle of nobles in Beijing, the old lady of the Tang family specially invited the relatives of many nobles in Beijing to enjoy the flowers. Because there is a Yan Garden here, the Li family is angry, not only will they not come, but even the people of the Li family are not allowed to come. Because of this, the Li family and the Li family offended Chen Biyan in the matter of Baihuatang, although the Li family is the second lady of the Tang family, but they have nothing to do with Baihuatang.
After those nobles in Beijing traveled, they went back and praised the landscape and comfortable climate in winter, as well as all kinds of rare spices in the hundred gardens, and cherished strange flowers, all of them regretted that they did not follow the Tang family to come here early to enclose the land, and now they regret it too late. If you want to have all kinds of flowers in winter, and show them off in front of relatives and friends during the New Year's holiday, you need to spend a lot of money to order them with Baihuatang. Of course, it can also be displayed at the same time, these flowers are for good deeds. A few years later, Xinjie opened the Fuxi River Tea Garden, where tea trees can grow in a variety of green bamboo flowers, in addition to some of the signature teas of the Aoki Society produced from here, you can also invite friends to pick tea, stir-fry, while drinking tea, while watching the scenery. After autumn and winter, the north is cold and frozen, and there are gray and slippery depressions everywhere, but here it is full of verdant green and flowers.
After several years of operation, Fuxi River has risen because of the reputation of the tea garden and Baihuatang, and is extremely sought after in the noble circle of the capital. Rich and powerful, familiar with the Tang family or Xinjie, they went to the Aoki Society early to line up and rent the annex of the Fuxi River Tea Garden to hold a garden party. Those who have business dealings with Jin Ji often rent the guest house of the Jin family's courtyard. If it weren't for the waterway that was still half a day away from the capital, it was estimated that they would have sharpened their heads and ran inside in winter.
In the eyes of old rivers and lakes like Li Feng, this is a very effective way to win over the powerful in Beijing. Why was Li so stupid in the first place?! Thinking that this was a thankless way to work, it was not the Tang family's main money-making business, so he gave Baihuatang to that concubine, so that he had to come and report it layer by layer. Most of this Fuxi River is now in the hands of that concubine, not to mention the pass token in his hand, and he has not even had an invitation. Thinking about the stupid thing my daughter did, I was so angry that my heart hurt.
Thinking about the purpose of this trip, he even felt pain in his liver. These descendants of the Li family not only did not save trouble, but also tried their best to find trouble for him, if they really relied on them alone, the Li family would be defeated sooner or later. The Li family had received a letter earlier saying that Li Renda had asked the Gu Po of Qianhe Valley to intervene because of the dispute between his wife and concubine in the past, and brought him back to Qianhe Valley to work as a coolie. Qianhe Valley is in the Qi Mountain north of Luojia Town, he rushed over, and people said that Gu Po did not return to Qishan, but took people to the Thousand Crane Valley in Mengshan by water. He rushed to the Thousand Crane Courtyard and didn't see Gu Hua, but Gu Hua expected him to appear when he left, so he took him to see Li Renda from afar.
Although Li Renda did not enter the workshop to boil copper water as Xinjie suggested at the beginning, he followed Gu Hua to the courtyard, where he followed the workers in several workshops to clean up the dried spices and carry the sundries on the drying field, and put out all the strength that he had not done in his life. Li Feng was a little surprised when he looked at it from a distance, Li Feng, who was so lazy and lazy, arrived at the Thousand Crane Courtyard, and from a distance, it looked no different from the ordinary miscellaneous servants there.
After reading it, the people of the Thousand Crane Courtyard didn't let him talk to Li Renda, but just told him, The valley master said, she just did this to let Young Master Li know that apart from his hereditary bloodline, he was no different from ordinary people. Without the aura of Dongtingbo Mansion, he is just an ordinary person. Let him learn to cherish his blessings. At that time, Li Feng was shocked by this. Originally, he went with anger, and it was up to the owner to beat the dog. Although the Li family was yin by others this time, Gu Hua took it by the way, but letting Li Renda do coolies was a slap in the face of the house. However, after hearing this, he began to reflect. Gu Hua's hand left room for her, and also gave an explanation to the person who entrusted her to clean up Li Renda. Not only did he complete the things that people were entrusted with, but also taught Li Renda a lesson, to put it nicely, he helped Loei educate the children. Say it and let outsiders judge it, She has thousands of reasons to stand up.
Although from the perspective of the Li family, it hurts Li Renda, but in the eyes of outsiders, Gu Hua has done a beautiful job and saved face for all aspects, even the one who yin them. This means of harmony, if it weren't for someone to support it, then Gu Hua would definitely be a master. Calling for wind and rain in the shopping mall, having the support of the queen mother in the palace, and having inextricable connections with the major wealthy ladies, it is definitely worth befriending. Originally, after seeing that Li Renda had no big problems, and the other party said that he would let him go back to Beijing in a month or two, he planned to go back directly, but after thinking about it, maybe this was an opportunity, so he found Fuxi River.
Gu Hua did not live in Yanyuan, in her words, not to disturb the little life of the little couple. Chen Biyan allocated one to Gu Hua in the guest house of the Tang family's main mansion a few years ago. Because she is often in Mengshan, she may have spent more time here than the Tang family's masters. In Chen Biyan's words, he also helped to knock and knock the subordinates there, so that the master would not be there and raise all the slaves. The little guy who came to spread the word was from the main courtyard, and the guards guarding the mountain pass came in and waited at the door of the main house, although they were just small servants here on errands, but the stewards explained all kinds of people of the Tang family very clearly, for fear of offending any of the master's relatives. Although this Uncle Li has never seen it, he is the father of the second lady, so he naturally does not dare to slack off, but the second lady is not good to the third lady, which is not a secret in the Tang family. The little girl secretly glanced at the cousin, This is the baby of the three young people, maybe one day it will be the third young grandmother, the other party came to the territory of the Tang family, not looking for the young master, directly looking for the valley master, this is a slap in the face of the third young man. This Fuxi River is different from the Tang family's property elsewhere, except for the main house and several other courtyards, here inside and outside are the territory of the three less. They had already heard from the brothers of the Aoki Society over there in the tea garden that this cousin was their hostess. Today's unfortunate errand, I don't know if I will offend this one.
Gu Hua naturally knew the twists and turns inside, looked at Lian'er and said, "Why don't I go out of the mountain pass, there is a small courtyard over there to receive visitors, and I will meet him and send him away." β
Lian'er shook her head lightly, although everyone knew that Mrs. Tang didn't want to see Xinjie, but no matter how Li Feng was Xinjie's mother-in-law's father, it stands to reason that Xinjie would call him grandfather. It doesn't matter what others do, but since she has decided to follow this man, she can't let him be said because of any little mistake she made, saying that he doesn't understand the rules and is not filial: "Please go to the living room of the main house and sit down, and serve good tea." I'll go with the valley master. β
Xinjie and Heping Luange went out to run errands early this morning, otherwise if he screwed it, it would probably not be easy to do.
At the same time, Lian'er instructed someone to prepare the Li family's boat and Miss Xiyuan, and turn around and let Uncle Li take it away. They have no obligation to help Li Renda raise people all the time, and when they let their subordinates hand over people, they said that the Oiran in Gusu is too expensive, and our small family is not as noble as the Earl's Palace, so we can't afford to raise it.
Gu Hua glanced at her a few times and quipped: "The third young grandmother is very imposing. I like it, hahahaha. The people of the Li family have been bullying Xinjie, do you want to get back to the field, my sister can help you. β
"Thank you, sister, it's just that if you help us find the field at this time, it will be rumored in the capital that Tang San is not filial in a few days, and Li is his mother-in-law."
"When has her mother-in-law ever looked like a mother-in-law over the years?" Gu Hua said disdainfully.
Lian'er didn't answer immediately, but ordered her subordinates to do something else, and then turned back to resume the conversation, and the topic naturally fell on the Li family and the Li family.
As a mother, it's understandable that she fears Applejack diluting her children's interests. In the past few years in Kansai, she has clearly seen how the Chu Li clan prevents the third young master from getting involved in any business in Tang Zhuang, "It's a pity that she has never understood Xinjie's personality." β
"Know Xinjie's personality?! Girl, you are so naΓ―ve, how could she want to know him, she can't wait for him to disappear as soon as possible. β
"Perhaps most mothers-in-law do not regard their wives and concubines and their children as human beings in their hearts." Jin Jiu thought of her grandmother, and no matter how much her grandmother and parents gave in, they couldn't stop her from disgusting and harming them.
Lian'er patted Jin Jiu's shoulder, she understood.
"Some people are very evil by nature, and it has nothing to do with whether she is a concubine or a concubine. In their minds, it is not only the people in the family who have conflicts of interest that they have in their minds, but also the selfish and vicious people who let them out. For the sake of their own petty profits, they do not hesitate to harm others, even their lives. Just like the Ruan brothers and sisters, even if there is nothing to do with you, judging from the letters we have received, what they have done in many things in the past few years is selfish and murderous in nature. There is no morality at all in the hearts of people like them. In contrast, Second Lady Tang, the Li family has already calculated. At least she hadn't done anything bloody and murderous. β
