Chapter 123: The Old Lady

"That's right." Mrs. Friday stood up, "You don't know, in Nafu, there is not even a car for the eldest girl, the eldest girl is in the car of Miss Shao Qi, and she is so harsh that even the village women in our rural Zhuangzi can't do such a shameful thing." I asked her to take some common things, and some broken silver, and sent someone to send it to her, by the way, did I tell you? There was no monthly money for her in Nafu, and the people she brought with her didn't give her a penny of monthly money, look at ......"

"Then you hurry up and pack up your things, get more silver, and send it over early, so that the eldest girl can suffer less grievances." Li Wuye was dizzy by Mrs. Friday's cannon-like words, and stood up and pushed Mrs. Friday out.

He hated these bits and pieces of mundane things the most, but when his daughter-in-law spoke, he had to listen carefully, fortunately, Zhou rarely said this, this time, he was probably really angry......

…………

The housekeeper sent by Mrs. Friday went to Huainan Wangfu, and asked people to find Mama Kong from the back corner door and secretly stuffed things to her.

Mama Kong gave a rough envoy to the Huainan Palace, asked her for help, and took a large package and entered Miss Shao Qi's yard.

Mama Kong looked at Li Yan sitting alone in the side room reading a book, and entered the house with a small silver bill of forty or fifty taels of silver.

"Miss, Mrs. sent someone to deliver a lot of things just Friday." Mama Kong said while putting a heavy bag of silver on the table next to Li Yan, "It's all some rouge gouache and these daily things, as well as this bag of silver, saying that I am afraid that the eldest lady will not clean it up, these silver bills are half a tael, one tael, the fifth wife said that she just took it back and prepared it for the New Year, I was afraid that the eldest lady did not prepare these, so I wrapped some and used it for the eldest lady to reward people." ”

Li Yan sat up straight, stretched out his hand and grabbed a few small silver bills, which were beaten into auspicious shapes such as peanuts and soybeans, which were shiny and very beautiful.

"I talked a lot with Mama Su a few days ago." Mama Kong took a small pestle, sat in front of Li Yan, and said idly, "Mama Su said, that old lady Chen, when she was in her mother's house, she was very rigid and self-serving, but whenever there is anything, it is the fault of others first, and you can't see the good of others in your eyes, as long as there is a star and a half that fail to weigh her heart, no matter how good you treated her before, it will be wiped out, because of this, the old lady who was in charge of the house refused to take care of her family affairs, saying that it was good because she had her own ability, but if there was a little bit of badness, it was you who hurt her." ”

Li Yan put down the silver coin and listened intently to Mama Kong's gossip, although she had planned to leave soon, but this kind of gossip sounded very interesting, didn't it.

"Marrying into the Li family, there is no way to do it, listen to what Mama Su meant, the old lady has an original match in Nanyang, and the old lady knows it clearly." Mama Kong pursed her lips, and Li Yan showed a slight smile.

"I heard that when she first married into the Li family, the old lady on the other side of the long house was very good to her. The old lady died and lived, and came back, the eldest old lady who passed by, the embarrassment, I can think about it, the old lady in the long room was the daughter-in-law selected by the sect woman back then, at that time the eldest old lady already had a title, the old lady was a reasonable person, and then it became like that, I am afraid that the old lady has three points, and the old lady has to have seven points. ”

Mama Kong sighed, "That's it, that old lady treats concubines and concubines, it is called mean, it is said that the old lady loved concubines very much, and said that the Li family branch is his bloodline, and there must be more branches and leaves, so that others often give him a couple of beauties, that concubine can give birth to a lot, concubines have survived a lot, but concubines, survived, there are only four masters and six masters, the sixth master's mother is Mrs. Chen's girl since childhood, and she has been careful for a lifetime, and the sixth master is a few sticks that can't beat a stuffy fart, survived, the fourth master had a powerful uncle, and taught the fourth master to pretend to be crazy and stupid, until he passed the exam. ”

Mama Kong laughed, "The eldest lady looks at this family, she should be polite to the eldest lady as she did to the concubine at the beginning, and now she is to the eldest lady." ”

Li Yan smiled and nodded again and again.

"From the time the person came over, I looked at the fifth wife as a good one, and Mrs. Shen in the long room is not bad for the eldest lady, but it is not their long room business, and second, the old lady's temper, if you can save one thing, you can save one thing, in fact, most of us are like this, there are bad ones, and there are good ones, don't think too much about the eldest lady."

Mama Kong put a few words into the main topic, and Li Yan bowed slightly to show his gratitude, "I understand what Mama means, Mama can rest assured." Li Yan's words paused, he was silent for a moment, and then swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, Pei Qing and Zhou Rui are different, Zhou Rui will help himself, Pei Qing will only help himself. She is Pei Qing's person.

Mama Kong noticed Li Yan's hesitation, only pretended not to know, said a few more words, and withdrew.

Li Yan instructed Yushu to put away the bag of silver bills, "Find an opportunity, take it out and exchange it for gold leaves, and it is convenient to carry it with you." ”

"Don't leave any rewards?" Yushu asked casually as he collected it.

"No, we haven't reached the point where we have to hold silver to buy it, and there will be more places to use silver in the future." Li Yan then flipped through the history books of the former dynasty, the former dynasty, and the former dynasty in his hand, and picked up the parts with the old Li Xiangguo and the little Li Xiangguo to read carefully.

…………

Another jinshi of the Li family, the fourth master Li Changgui was in the second master of the Yuan family, and the envoy was led by Yuan Yanshi, the second master of the Yuan family, in the afternoon, the fourth master Li looked at the second master of the Yuan family, and came in under the pretext of a little business, and rushed to the end of Yuan Sinong, Yuan Sinong looked at Li Siye with a solemn face inexplicably, "What's wrong?" ”

"I'm ashamed." Li Siye looked embarrassed, "It's my eldest niece and daughter, thanks to the Huainan Palace's righteous action, pick her up and avoid the palace, I am restless and hesitate to hesitate, hesitate to the end, I still think it's good to come and tell you, that end is about filial piety, but this end, but it is about human life, filial piety is damaged, the damage is in me, but human life is ......"

Fourth Master Li looked at Second Master Yuan with a miserable expression, "The matter of our house...... Nanyang branch, when my father was most impoverished and poor, took good care of him, and was a great favor to my Li family, and later ...... Now that this one is left with only the eldest niece and daughter, just a girl, why can't she live properly and thoughtfully? She didn't feel sorry for the Li family, it was the Li family who owed her, and I really ......"

Li Siye covered his face with one hand and couldn't go on.

Second Master Yuan was originally very unhappy with Li Changgui's obvious behavior of telling his mother-in-law, but when he heard this, his eyes were red, but he felt that Li Changgui was very chivalrous.
