"Hey, eat your mouth, what nonsense? What do you know about the affairs of the court? Li Zhongxiao was also very enthusiastic Li Jingyi won the county lord, and he said to Li Yuanshan seriously, "Actually, no matter how well this girl is raised, she is just from another family, almost enough, besides, your daughter, I heard about it in Tongshan, and left?" Tsk, let's go through the mountain, dare to leave? You have to die in your husband's house! ”

Don't talk about coming back, give it back to a county lord, with this grace, it's better to leave it to your grandson in the future, "I know that you are such a girl, it is inevitable that you will be spoiled, but there is a limit to spoiling, like this Hou Mansion,"

Li Zhongxiao took chopsticks and nodded around, "I remember the last time I came over, or when you married the princess, how many years has it been?" This thing hasn't changed at all, the Hou Mansion has a lot of family business, where did you spend all your money? ”

Li Zhongxiao is not an ignorant mountain man, he has a son who is an official, he knows that this princess also has a fortune, and she is not old or young, he has also quietly estimated the property of the Marquis of Anguo Mansion before, it is a sum of silver that he wants to swallow when he thinks about it, but Li Yuanshan has not eaten, dressed or enjoyed these silvers, where did he go?

Li Zhongxiao is old, but his eyes are not dazzling, he can already see that Li Yuanshan is unhappy, and hurriedly adds, "It's not that I rely on the old man to take care of your Hou Mansion, you should also spoil your daughter, that's your only flesh and blood, isn't it?" When I came, I thought on the boat, the county lord has returned home, and I can't be ashamed anymore, you, find a nunnery for her and send it in, let her eat fast and recite the Buddha, and atone for her sins in front of the Buddha, with the emperor's reliance on you, I will definitely build a chaste archway for the county lord in the future! ”

This his grandson has the title of the marquis, the property of the marquis mansion and the eldest princess's mansion, and a good reputation, Li Zhongxiao feels that his vision is perfect.

Li Yuanshan was originally just sitting with him, but when he heard that Li Zhongxiao, a wild horseman, dared to let himself send his daughter to the nunnery, and the last bit of endurance was exhausted, he stacked the tea bowl in his hand on the table with a loud bang, "You use it slowly, I'll go out to breathe, wait for Li Yuanhua and them to come, and the patriarch will discuss the matter with him well!" ”

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye go slowly, you dissipate your anger, Uncle Zhong and Xiao is old, he is an old back, he doesn't listen to what he says, don't take it to heart," Li Yuanhai's daughter-in-law dropped the chopsticks in her hand and chased after her, "This is what a woman knows best, how old is the county lord, how can he become a monk?" Let's definitely choose a good son-in-law for her to marry, and in the future, the husband and wife will love each other, and the children and grandchildren will be full! ”

"Ignorant woman!" When Li Zhongxiao heard Li Yuanhai's daughter-in-law's words, he angrily threw the chopsticks in his hand aside, "A woman is just a woman, how can she compare with the reputation of the clan?" Being able to earn a torii for the Li family is her blessing! Otherwise, who will remember her in the future? ”

"What the uncle said is, but," Li Yuanfeng's mind fell on Li Yuanshan's last sentence, why did he discuss it with Li Yuanhua after the succession of this Hou Mansion?

Li Yuanfeng was busy with Li Zhongxiao's dishes, and told him his doubts, but Li Zhongxiao said disapprovingly, "This is nothing, you don't know if you don't be an official, Yuanshan is like this, relying on the ancestors of our old Li family to fight the world and earn the title of military merit, called Xungui, Yuanhua That, is an official who was admitted to Jinshi by his own ability, that is Qingliu,"

He squinted his eyes and lowered his voice, "This Qingliu is more expensive than Xun, and Wenchen is more noble than military generals!" You Brother Yuanqiao, you are an official with the fame you have gained from studying! ”

Does this mean that your second son is more powerful than the Hou Ye? Who doesn't know that it's a donor official?

Li Yuanfeng complained silently in his heart, but there was a curious look on his face, "What does the uncle mean that this Hou Mansion is now the final word of Brother Yuanhua?" ”

"Although it is not in the middle, it is not far away," Li Zhongxiao shook his head and tasted the wine in the cup, not to mention, the wine of this Hou Mansion is better than their Tongshan, "Your Brother Yuanhua is now the third grade, your Brother Yuanqiao often corresponds with him, and also told me that he is a person with great talent, think about it, we all know that he is a great talent, will the emperor not know?" ”

"But Brother Yuanhua also has a few grandsons in the mansion, in terms of bloodline, their room is much closer than ours, why doesn't Brother Yuanhua ask his grandson to succeed to the Hou Mansion?" Li Yuanfeng is not easy to fool, he has been thinking about this question in his heart for a long time.

Li Zhongxiao was stunned by Li Yuanfeng's question, he also wanted to ask this question, as soon as he received Li Yuanhua's letter, he was busy picking up the children's luggage and rushing to the capital, "Your brother Yuanhua said that he took the imperial examination, and it is not good to call his grandson the title, and there is no shortage of help in their house now, this grace gives him peace ......of mind to the clan."

Li Zhongxiao saw a lot of disbelief in Li Yuanfeng's eyes, in fact, he dared to believe it or not, "Okay, this person is coming soon, let's just ask him when he comes." ”

"Hmph, tell me, I'm afraid of ghosts here!" Although Li Yuanhai was silent, his ears were not idle, he took a sip of the wine in the cup, and said, "I came to the capital a few years ago, and our Li family is not in harmony at all in the three households in the capital, especially Li Yuanhua in the East Mansion and Li Yuantang in the West Mansion, that,"

He snorted, "We just don't care about each other!" ”

"Also, uncle, you touched your conscience and said, then Li Yuanhua is really as powerful as you said, he was born in a school, won the Jinshi, and won the favor of the emperor, and he didn't take that title in his eyes at all, so why did he take so much of it to the clan over the years?"

Li Yuanhai stretched out two fingers, "Or the year he entered the Jinshi, he returned to his hometown for the big sacrifice, and added two hundred acres of land to the clan and one hundred taels of silver!" ”

"What about the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion?" Li Yuanhai stretched out his hand and pointed upward, "I asked someone to go back last year, and I handed over 300 acres of sacrificial land to you, right?" Not to mention this far away, Brother Yuanshan became the Hou Ye, how many things has he done for the clan? The gentlemen of our clan are all invited by Hou Ye, and your third son who is competitive, if it weren't for Hou Ye to introduce him to Qingyuan Academy, I'm afraid that in another ten years, he won't be able to pass the exam! ”

"Isn't it?" The other family also chimed in, "If you want to say that it is good for the clan, then you have to count our Hou Mansion, our village is called Li Hou Village, who knows what kind of official Dali Siqing is?" ”

"That's it, uncle, when you go out to meet people, don't you also tell people that you are from the Marquis of Anguo's mansion, when did you say anything about Dali Siqing? Even I, an ignorant woman, know what kind of civil official, I will leave when I am done, our Marquis of An Guo has been passed down from generation to generation, uncle, if you don't look down on the title passed down from your ancestors, why do you have to bring two grandchildren? Li Yuanhai's daughter-in-law has always had a loud voice, "Uncle, you praised Li Yuanhua so well, did his family give you benefits?" ”

Li Yuanhua was dragged into the flower hall by Luo Er and Luo San, and he heard a woman's voice in front of him, what Anguo Hou has been passed down from generation to generation, Li Zhongxiao has gained his own benefits, he is ashamed and angry, if it weren't for the two arms tightly clamped by Luo Er and Luo San, he would immediately turn his head and leave.

Li Yuanhua was outside the yamen of Dali Temple just now, and he had already lost a person, Luo Er, Luo San, and the two martial artists, obviously got Li Yuanshan's orders, and deliberately shouted loudly when he went down to the yamen, saying what "The Tongshan people are here, and I want to discuss with you about the succession of our Anguo Marquis Mansion,"

What" My lord didn't know that you were discussing such a big matter with the clan, so he was shocked and angry, so he specially invited the adults to our Hou Mansion to explain to the elders of the clan, "......

From the moment Emperor Longwu approved Li Yuanshan to set up Li Jingyi as his heir and promoted Li Jingyi to be the county lord, Li Yuanhua knew that his plan for many years was in vain, although he was unwilling, but he also knew that Li Yuanshan's move was what Emperor Longwu was happy to see and absolutely supported, and the emperor was willing, what else could he say as a courtier? Unless it's him, the Dali Temple, who is the leader!

After Li Yuanhua knew that there was something wrong, he also wrote a letter to Tongshan, originally he calculated, Li Zhongxiao and they got their previous letter, how could they have to wait for the end of the New Year, he never expected Li Zhongxiao and them to move so fast, and they just rushed to the capital for the year, now it's okay, the two are forked, how do you explain to Li Zhongxiao and them?

"Yuanhua is here? Quick, sit down," Li Zhongxiao didn't recognize Li Yuanhua at all with his face, but he recognized the official robe on his body!

"Yo, someone from your hometown? What a rare guest, big brother, I was in the yamen just now, and I heard that you invited the people of Tongshan into Beijing," Li Yuantang heard Luo Si's intention to invite him over, and his stomach hurt from laughter, there is nothing more pleasant than Li Yuanhua lifting a stone and hitting his own feet, "This is the patriarch, I am Li Yuantang from Xifu,"

Li Yuantang saw that this group of people did not divide the seats, the men and women sat around a table, and they did not sit at the table in disgust, and sat on the chair on the side, "I heard that the clan is going to choose a stepson for the Hou Ye?" Tsk, patriarch, you are so old, and your tube is really wide, as soon as this hand is stretched, it will reach thousands of miles away! Tsk, it's not easy! ”

Li Zhongxiao was blushed by Li Yuantang's cold old face, and said with a stiff neck, "You are all surnamed Li, I am the patriarch of the Li clan, don't you want me to worry about it?" ”

"Patriarch? We're all counting the Li family, we're only afraid of thousands of people, right? Patriarch, if the two of you are fighting, do you want to break the lawsuit? Li Yuantang giggled with laughter, "We are all surnamed Li, then I have to remind you, and it will save you from being unlucky in the future, complaining that I don't care about you, the patriarch of the Li clan!" ”

Li Yuantang stretched out his legs and kicked on the arm of the chair Li Yuanhua was sitting on, "This Anguo Marquis Li Yuanshan, my second brother, he is not only a marquis, but also a concubine, you said that you are surnamed Li in this Anguo Marquis Mansion, but in the matter of the eldest princess's mansion, your surname is Zhao?" ”
