"Sister Yu'er will take your brother to the garden to play." Seeing that Aunt Yang had arrived, Grandma Huang Er hurriedly instructed Li Zhangyu.

Li Zhangyu looked at Huang Er's grandmother who was desperately glaring at her inexplicably.

"Don't shy away from it." Li Xia looked at Huang Er's grandmother and said with a smile: "Sister Yu is also an adult, listen carefully, and go back to talk to your eldest brother and second brother." ”

Second Grandma Huang heard Li Xia say this, think about it, Sister Yu is fourteen years old this year, let her see the methods of her little ninth aunt, even if she can't learn it, it's good to have a long insight.

Li Zhangyu's eyes widened when Li Xia said a few words, and he quickly moved, sitting upright, his eyes full of excitement.

Aunt Chen's heart was raised to her throat, and she kept aiming at the door, anxious that she couldn't use a spell to bring the old man over, and Aunt Yang kept squeezing her side, squeezing her scared and angry, and she couldn't kick Aunt Yang to the sky.

"I heard from the uncle, Aunt Chen's family is a scholarly family? Your father was also famous? Li Xia looked at Aunt Chen, there was no smile on her face, she didn't bother to laugh.

"Yes, my father was a talent show at the age of twenty-two." Aunt Chen heard Li Xia ask this, straightened her waist, and her heart settled a little.

She is a scholarly family, but she is not out of vain.

"I heard that your family is very wealthy, when you entered the Shuai Si Mansion, you brought four housekeepers, twelve girls, and two families as companions? The dowry is also very rich, ten miles of red makeup, I heard that it was a small sensation at the time, is this so? Li Xia looked at Aunt Chen.

"Yes, since I was a child, my father and mother have loved me very much, and my father tried his best to marry me, but he just wanted me to have some dependence after I left home." Aunt Chen looked at the door again, her heart was a little settled, although she was a concubine, she was an upright concubine who passed through the government and came in openly.

"I heard that you have read poetry and books since you were a child, you are talented, you are a famous talented woman in Qin Fenglu, have you only read poetry and songs, or have you dabbled in the subset of scriptures and history?"

"All of them are involved...... Aunt Chen didn't finish her sentence, and the voice of her mother-in-law sounded outside: "The master is here." ”

Aunt Chen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Wennan moved, sat down beside Mrs. Yan, reached over, and held Mrs. Yan's hand.

Li Dong subconsciously reached out to hug Ruyi, Li Wenmei hurriedly looked at Li Xia, her face changed slightly.

Grandma Zhao stared at Aunt Chen angrily, hating to bite her, Second Grandma Huang blinked seven or eight times quickly, looking at Li Xia, whose expression had not changed at all, and Li Wennan, who was holding Mrs. Yan's hand and talking to Mrs. Yan in a low voice, the two eyebrows suddenly rose and fell quickly, and it seemed to be very lively.

Li Xuezhang came in, except for Li Xia who sat upright and didn't move, the rest of the people, including Mrs. Yan, all got up to salute, Li Xuezhang looked at Li Xia who was sitting upright and didn't move, hesitated, and bowed to the end. "The princess is fine, I saw the prince yesterday, she was a little thin, this trip, the prince has worked hard."

"Uncle Lao is concerned." Although Li Xia was full of smiles, he didn't even reply to the bow, "I'm talking to Aunt Chen and Aunt Yang, since Uncle is here, sit down and listen." ”

Li Xuezhang was a little angry by Li Xia's arrogance, but he didn't show it, the ninth sister is a very smart person, it stands to reason that this shouldn't be the case......

"Daddy is a little late," Li Wennan said with a smile: "Ah Xia has already said a few words to Aunt Chen, Aunt Chen said that her father was a talent at the age of twenty-two, and when she entered the Shuai Si Mansion, she brought more than 20 people to accompany the room, ten miles of red makeup, which was very sensational, and also said that she had studied since she was a child, and her talent was extremely high, and she had dabbled in the subset of scripture and history. ”

Li Wennan and Li Xia, the pair, although they haven't seen each other for a few years, the tacit understanding is still the same, and the corners of Li Xia's mouth curl into a smile that seems to be nothing.

"This is very true, the Chen family is indeed very talented, and the subset of the history has achieved a small success." Li Xuezhang twisted his beard and smiled, quite complacent.

"Since the subsets of the scriptures and histories are all small, haven't you ever dabbled in the article of buying and selling concubines?" Li Xia followed Li Xuezhang's hehe, and the words changed sharply.

Aunt Chen was stunned and hurriedly looked at Li Xuezhang, who had a dull smile on her face.

"I married into the palace, only to become the director of the family, in the past, at home, the aunt pampered, never pay attention to these housework, the palace people, whether it is the palace fingers, bought, or pawned, even a piece of clothing is to ask for grace to wear away, what about our house? Is that also the case? ”

Li Xia looked at Grandma Zhao and asked, Grandma Zhao drank ice water on dog days at this time, and her tone couldn't be more refreshing, "Our family is like this, and my mother's family is like this, this is a law." ”

"What about the Ruan family? And your family, your Tang family has heavy rules, is it the same? Li Xia asked her sister Li Dong, Li Wenmei and Li Wennan one by one.

"My sister-in-law has said that there is a law." Li Wennan replied with a smile.

"Aunt Chen's dowry and dowry, whose name does the uncle fall into?" Li Xia looked at Li Xuezhang and asked.

Li Xuezhang opened his mouth and subconsciously looked at Mrs. Yan, Li Xia followed his gaze to Mrs. Yan, her eyes narrowed slightly, Mrs. Yan met Li Xuezhang's gaze indifferently, and for a moment, she looked away.

"Aunt Chen is only twenty-one years old this year, and when she waited by her uncle's side, she was only eighteen years old, the same age as a flower, and Aunt Chen was born well," Li Xia looked at Aunt Chen again and sighed softly, "Peony flowers, like Aunt Chen's daughter's family, want to have a family background, have a good character, have a rich dowry, and are twenty-nine years old, why do you want to enter the Shuai Si Mansion and be a concubine for the uncle?"

Uncle is fifty-eight years old, old and frail, obese and slow, his face is full of wrinkles, such an old person, but Aunt Chen is willing to be a concubine for him with red makeup, what does Aunt Chen think? ”

Li Xuezhang's face turned blue when Li Xia said.

Huang Er's grandmother tried her best to hold back her laughter, sigh hey, why is their ninth aunt's grandmother's mouth so ruthless!

Li Zhangyu listened to the two round eyes, looked at her Weng Weng, then looked at Aunt Chen, then looked at her Weng Weng, and then looked at Aunt Chen, and saw it as a drum.

Aunt Chen's face was blue and red, she was stared at by Li Xia, and gritted her teeth and said: "The master is dedicated to the people, has outstanding talents, and has insight into every detail, and is the pillar of the country." ”

"Wholeheartedly for the people." Li Xia repeated lightly, and then smiled: "So, it's because you love Li Shuaisi from the bottom of your heart, that regardless of your age, you would rather be a concubine than go to Li Shuaisi's side and sing and accompany you?" ”

Aunt Chen didn't look at Li Xuezhang this time, subconsciously tilted her head to the other side, gritted her teeth and answered the word.

"You have two brothers and a brother, before you entered the Shuai Si Mansion with ten miles of red makeup, your three brothers were all white, and they didn't even fail to pass the test, the next year you entered the Shuai Si Mansion, your eldest brother won Xiucai, Qiu Yu, your father won the lift, and another year, your second brother also won Xiucai, and then your third brother, since you entered Shuaisi, your father and your three brothers, your knowledge has risen greatly, and your talent has finally overflowed."

"My father, my brother, and my younger brother, they all passed the test based on their ability!" Aunt Chen glared at Li Xia angrily.

"Well, in November of the year before your father was promoted, your family Li Shuaisi wrote a letter to Huang Beiyuan, a subordinate who was in Jiangnan East Road in the old year and has now been promoted to the Yin of Xinghua Mansion.

Li Xuezhang's face was white and colorless, Li Xia didn't look at him, he just looked at Aunt Chen, who looked at her like a ghost, "Xuezheng is different from your family's Shuaisi, he doesn't love beauties, he loves good books, since you entered the Shuai Si Mansion, your Shuai Si wrote seven letters before and after, and the Tang family, the Gu family, and that Mr. Mo Taojiang, curry favor with good books, a total of ......"

Li Xia looked at Duan Yan, and Duan Yan hurriedly bent his knees and replied: "There are thirty-nine books in total, and six of them are unique products." ”

"Aunt Yang," Li Xia turned around and turned to Aunt Yang.

"The servant is here." Aunt Yang was a little frightened, but also a little relieved, she was a person who had been sold several times, and had no family.

"How did you get to Uncle?" Li Xia looked sideways at Aunt Yang's peace of mind and determination.

"The maid was sold by the family since she was a child, and she worked in Renyazi's house for two or three years, and then Renyazi saw that I was born well, so she sold it to a prostitute who specializes in raising people, and then the Wang family bought me and gave it to the uncle." Aunt Yang's answer was extremely detailed, and no one in her family wanted to take the Xiucai exam.

"Well, Fengxiang Wang's family, ancestral home Huaiyang, started by selling tea, this generation of family, Wang Qiang, the uncle of the Wang family, has a bit of ability, ambitious, first wanted to seek a few salt tickets, do salt merchant business, do all the tricks, busy for three or four years, nothing, and later the court and the north of Yixin battle, from Qinfeng Road to transfer grain, he found that food, especially the military food business, is more favorable than salt.

It just so happened that your uncle went to Qinfeng Road, Wang Qiang dug out his mind, and finally caught up with your uncle, and after sending gold, silver, pearls and jade to no avail, he sent you to your uncle. ”

Li Xia looked at Li Xuezhang, "Does Uncle know what is the most important thing for prostitutes to teach young ladies?" That is to make the prostitute feel that this young lady is in love with him, and she only loves him in life and death. Aunt Yang learned this article the best, and it was because of this that Wang Qiang picked her.

Sure enough, a few days after she entered the Shuai Si Mansion, the eldest brother felt that he, the aunt, loved him to the point of life or death. ”

Li Xia laughed, Mrs. Yan slowly leaned back on the pillow, lifted the handkerchief and pressed it to the corner of her eye, and pressed a tear that she couldn't hold back.

The next month, Wang Qiang got his wish and started the military food business on Qinfeng Road, and with the help of the banner of the Shuai Si Mansion on Qin Feng Road, the business was pushed all the way north, until he found Guan Quan's army, claiming to be a relative of Li Shuaisi on Qin Feng Road, please see Guan Quan.

Now, Wang Qiang has arrived in the capital, and he has had several guests at the Qinfeng Guild Hall, and he has invited his eldest brother back. It seems that he is ready to show his strength in the capital.

Also, today's Wang family is much more proud in the capital than in Qin Fenglu, the Li family, the Tang family, the Ruan family, the Ding family, and even the Qin Wangfu are all relatives of his Wang family.

Since you entered the Shuaisi Mansion, how many times has Wang Qiang sent you silver tickets? How much did you send in the last one? What about the silver ticket? ”

Li Xia asked in the last sentence, staring at Aunt Yang.

"I don't know, I mean, many times, often send, I don't know how many times, the most recent time was the day before yesterday, I sent 10,000 silver, silver tickets, buy clothes, jewelry, and, give it to her, all given to her, she said she gave it to her uncle, she said she couldn't give it to me, she said it was her dowry."

Aunt Yang is not as smart as Aunt Chen, but her perception of danger is much stronger than Aunt Chen, at this moment, she is so frightened that she can barely stand, and the princess in front of her, who always seems to be smiling, seems to have come out of the Yama Palace.

Li Xia stopped talking, reached out and took the tea handed by Duan Yan, and sipped it slowly.

There was no sound in the room, only the tea bowl in Li Xia's hand, and occasionally there was a harsh and crisp collision sound.

Li Wennan looked at Li Xia with admiration in his eyes, he hadn't seen him for a few years, and Axia's ability to fight had risen several floors!

Li Dong kept blinking, is this matter so serious?

Li Wenmei looked up at Li Xia from the bottom up, is there anything in the world that can hide from her ninth sister? When I go back, I have to talk to Erlang well, and I must not do what the ninth sister is not allowed!

Grandma Huang and Grandma Zhao both had pale faces and were terrified, this is not two aunts, this is a big scourge of two families and destroying their families!

Li Zhangyu understands five or six, but she doesn't understand four or five, but the two aunts, and her Weng Weng has been defeated, she understands it very well, looking at Weng Weng with a pale face, Li Zhangyu gloated in his heart, just after a while, he hurriedly pressed down again, that is Weng Weng, can't laugh, this is unfilial piety!

"It's my ......" Li Xuezhang stood up with some difficulty and threw himself at Li Xiachang.

"Uncle and big brother can't be blamed for this." Li Xia interrupted Li Xuezhang's words, "Such a beautiful woman, talented, beautiful and rich, the uncle and the eldest brother can't hold it, the prince and I have also thought of it, if the uncle doesn't mind, I'll take care of this matter?" ”

Li Xuezhang's Adam's apple rolled again and again, and subconsciously looked at Mrs. Yan again, this time he looked back at it, lowered his head, a good word, and should be bloody.

Aunt Chen's face was pale and colorless, she picked up her son, pursed her mouth tightly, and glared at Li Xia.

"I have already read the articles of your father and three brothers, just a little bit of literature and science, although Qin Fenglu's literary tone is poor, it is not bad enough for your three brothers to be able to show off their talents, I have already asked people to go to Qin Fenglu and get rid of the fame of your father and your three brothers. The case in Xinghua Mansion, I also asked people to re-investigate. ”

"My father was originally a showman!" Aunt Chen was anxious, "Why are you?" You are a woman, you are in politics! ”

"It's a show, but there's no way, if you want to reform, you have to get rid of it.

By the way, Qin Fenglu's term of office has expired, and he will return to the capital, and he will be idle for a while, the new Xuezheng, it just so happens that I can speak, at least in this term, every one of you in the clan has to check the dossier. ”

Li Xia looked at the seventh brother who was tightly held in her arms, and wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, for a moment, she looked away and looked at Aunt Yang who was trembling, "Return you to the Wang family, you only have one way to die, this matter is not your fault, you shouldn't be sent to a dead end."

If you don't send you back to the Wang family, the Wang family will have the face to hold the signboard of the Li family's relatives outside. ”

Aunt Yang knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed her head.

"What about sister-in-law?" Li Xia looked at Grandma Zhao.

"Find a family to marry her." Grandma Zhao replied very quickly, she was very good at dealing with the concubines who wanted to be sent out.

"What about Uncle?" Li Xia looked at Li Xuezhang, whose face was even paler.

Li Xuezhang barely squeezed out a smile, "It's okay." ”

"Then ask my sister-in-law to deal with it." Li Xia's gaze stopped for a moment on the jubilant Grandma Zhao's face, then looked away at Aunt Chen, who was almost unsteady on her feet, and pointed at Aunt Chen and Grandma Zhao, and said, "Auntie is old and lacks energy, so she just wants to see what she wants to see." The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, this seventh brother, annoying the sister-in-law to take care of one or two, what about the sister-in-law? ”

Grandma Zhao nodded again and again.

"There are also people and money in Aunt Chen's hands, please also ask your sister-in-law to deal with them together, so as to save her from instructing people to snoop in the mansion, accept bribes in the name of dowry, and then use the silver to teach the children in the house, except for the children of the seventh brother's house."

"Sir!" Aunt Chen hugged her son and knelt in front of Li Xuezhang with a plop, her voice was fierce, "She is a princess and a married daughter, why should she meddle in the family affairs of her elders?" What kind of reasoning is this? Master! What a word! ”

"These are all right." The flesh on Li Xuezhang's cheek twitched a few times, and he shook off Aunt Chen's hand that was holding his clothes, "Don't you just wait by my side and ask for nothing else?" ”

Mrs. Yan looked at Li Xuezhang with a little apprehension.

Li Xia squinted at Grandma Zhao, who reacted very quickly at this time, "Are they all dead people?" Why don't you hurry up and pick up the seventh brother and scare the brother. Drag her up, it's really unruly! I still have the face to say that I have read a book! ”
