The courtyard was quiet, Wu and Li Chengcai stood at the door of the west wing, the door was open, and the sound of a water stool came from inside through a curtain made of grass beads.

Wu turned his head sideways and said to Li Chengcai: "At home." ”

Later, she leaned her neck and said to the inside: "Second, second, come out ......"

After a while, Li Chengyu lifted the curtain and came out of it.

He still had the dust that flew up when the jade was polished on his head, and he was talking about him with a gray face, like a beggar who had fled.

He took off the cotton cloth that gaged his mouth, wiped his hands with his apron and said, "Mother, big brother, what are you doing?" ”

Wu said with a look of hatred: "You are now the head of the country, what are you doing all this rough work?" ”

Li Chengyu smiled and said, "I like it, but I can't be idle." ”

This second son is hardworking, this is a well-known thing, Wu's face showed a proud attitude, this is up to her, she gave birth.

Later, he said: "Don't do it yet, let me tell you something, isn't this Mingrui going to have a birthday?" In previous years, Ah Zhao was at home, she was in charge, and she definitely won't be able to come back this year, I have discussed it with your eldest brother and sister-in-law, thirteen years old, adulthood, can be married, this birthday can't be sloppy, go to the old house. ”

Li Chengyu said: "What is his child's birthday, besides, there are still eight days." ”

Wu said: "What is a child's family, that is the emperor's brother-in-law, how can you be sloppy on your birthday?" It was decided, and eight days later I brought him to my house for dinner. ”

Li Chengyu looked his mother up and down, frowned and said: "Mother, when Mingrui was ten years old, there were no chickens at home, Ah Zhao wanted to make poached eggs for her, Ah Zhao didn't say that you wanted, I said it, go to grandma's house to get two, you heard it at the door, and when you came in, you said that we had gluttony and wanted to steal your eggs, why did you let me and Mingrui go to your house for dinner today?" We don't have any cravings, do we? ”

Wu: "......"

Her face flushed with anger.

But Li Chengyu's big eyes blinked, and he looked very ignorant, as if he really didn't know where he said something wrong.

Li Chengcai coughed and said with a smile: "Second brother, that's all about Chen Sesame and rotten grain, how do you remember, people still say that you are honest, this grudge, isn't Ah Zhao not at home this year?" What's so great about going to the uncle's house for a meal, and the uncle's family can't afford it? ”

Li Chengyu lowered his head and thought about it, then raised his head and said, "Big brother, the dowry is not at home." ”

Li Chengcai: "......"

When Li Zhao got married, the emperor's dowry could fill the streets, and it was all heavy money.

After Li Zhao couldn't go home in the palace, Li Chengcai and the Wu family knew that Li Chengyu was honest, so they started the idea of a dowry.

However, this time it was hindered, and Wu had asked Li Chengyu several times, and Li Chengyu said that he had no money.

Hearing that Li Chengyu finally mentioned the dowry, Wu hurriedly grabbed his arm: "Then where is the dowry?" ”

Li Chengyu said: "Ah Zhao said before he got married, I was afraid that I would not see it well, after the dowry was exposed, I let the people from the Ministry of Rites carry it away directly, although there is no one who can manage money at home, isn't there one in the store?" I don't know what they do, and I'm not interested, so it's useless for you to be nice to me, I don't know where the dowry is, and I can't get it. ”

Wu and Li Chengcai looked at each other the same.

Li Chengcai's eyebrows tightened, there was a sense of annoyance, Wu was also infected, she turned around and hated Li Chengyu and said: "Why are you so cowardly, the dowry is for you, you gave birth to her and raised her, there is no credit?" How can you let her dispose of it by herself, you are a wreck, you take up space while you live, why don't you die for those good people? ”

Li Chengyu pursed his lips, then lowered his head and picked his nails, but did not speak.

He has always been like this, his mother scolds whatever he wants, and he doesn't talk back.

Li Chengcai also glared fiercely at this uncompetitive younger brother, who was pinched to death by his daughter.

Suddenly, he thought of something, and hurriedly stopped the Wu family, who was still cursing, and whispered in Wu's ear: "He's still useful, please seal it." ”

Wu's eyes widened, and he suddenly closed his mouth, and then immediately changed to a smiling face, and shouted: "Second brother, the dowry is gone, it's gone, let's talk about it later, if you really want it, Ah Zhao will give it to you, right?" ”

Seeing that Li Chengyu didn't say anything, she continued: "Okay, let's not talk about the dowry, on Mingrui's birthday, you can still go to the house for dinner, the family." ”

Li Chengyu suddenly raised his head and said: "On Mingrui's birthday, his mother died, just because he was born, and his birthday was not enough." ”

After saying that, he turned around and went into the house.

Li Chengyu is honest, but he is not without a temper at all, sometimes when he mentions his wife Wang, he will be stubborn for no reason.

The resolute action of lifting the curtain made Wu so angry that he was about to go into the house to chase after him, but Li Chengcai hurriedly grabbed his mother.

Then he said in a low voice: "The family is now the head of the country, and Sister Rong is still suffering in the palace, if you want to be canonized, you have to count on him, or don't mess with him." ”

Wu said: "But I don't remind him, when can he ask me for a seal, he didn't have a canonization himself, didn't he see the carved jade?" ”

Li Chengcai looked up to the sky and sighed: "Who knows? ”

Then he said: "Next time, don't mention the short-lived ghost in his family, can't you talk about it if you mention it?" ”

"When did I mention it, I was talking about Mingrui's birthday."

"Okay, okay, I can't say it today, find another time, anyway, Ah Zhao's dead girl won't come back, don't we come any day?"

Wu nodded after hearing this, and then said, "Let's go home first." ”

The two walked out side by side, Wu said: "Actually, I really hope that the spicy goods come back once, this is not seen all year round, when will I ask the second elder to be sealed, won't it be my turn when it is the second child's turn, I have to talk about it?" ”

Li Chengcai said: "Don't think about it for a year, don't you have to find a reason for your relatives?" Just wait. ”

The two returned to their own door while talking, the sun was shining, Wu closed the door with his back to the light, dazzling, she quickly looked down at the street, and suddenly saw a carriage stopped at Li Chengyu's house, Wu shouted: "Boss, look, their family is here." ”

Li Chengyu is already the queen's father, and people often come to give gifts, especially in the previous month, maybe they will come to see others honestly, and they don't accept anything, so there are fewer people coming.

Li Chengcai went out to take a look, the carriage looked very luxurious, he had the heart to help Li Chengyu receive it, but once before, he was scolded by a nobleman.

Li Chengcai thought to himself, wait until I have practiced this aspect of eloquence.

He hit the pestle, and then he was surprised and said: "Anyway, I can't ask for anything, what is there to see, go back." ”
