Chapter 35: A Few Women in One Play
Li Xinghe, who was walking in the front, walked for a while, stopped, and looked back behind him, that Zhao Qingmeng hadn't caught up yet!
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, she lowered her head and kicked the stone on the road, squatted down angrily, and kept pulling the grass on the ground to spread air.
Hearing footsteps, she looked up, "You still know to keep up!"
Zhao Qingmeng smiled at her, "Miss Xinghe, I know the way, I must know how to keep up." ”
Li Xinghe pouted disdainfully, his eyes moved, "But, what are they doing when they follow?"
Without waiting for Zhao Qingmeng, a sincere person, to explain, Zhang Mungdou went up and said, "Naturally, there is something to tell you elders." ”
Li Xinghe frowned, and tilted his pointed chin, "Then it's the same if you tell me, I will tell my father, and you don't have to go to my house." ”
"No, I can't. This is confidential, but it will affect your Li family, and my patriarch specially asked me to tell you. Zhang Mung Bean pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes showing a sly light, "However, I can't tell anyone who is not in charge." ”
The four words 'being the master of the house' can be said to be a word in Li Xinghe's heart, the Li family can be described as her father's hall, and the rest of the elders are just ornaments.
The next generation of the Li family is in charge, and they must be the children of their father. But my father is patriarchal, although she is the eldest daughter, but my father's concubine gave birth to a concubine, obviously a waste, but the baby is tight, everything will be handed over to him, and threatened: When his son is familiar with affairs, he will retreat behind.
Li Xinghe couldn't figure it out, this kind of mud that couldn't support the wall, if the Li family really fell into his hands, wouldn't it be a matter of time before the wealth of the family was scattered!
She glanced at the two men following behind, then grabbed Zhang Mung Bean's hand, ran forward a few steps, and saw that the distance was almost there, she shook off Zhang Mung Bean's hand, "Let's make a deal, tell me this secret, and I can also tell you what I want to know." ”
Zhang Mung Dou was happy, but in a blink of an eye, he was a little worried, "You wait first, I'll think about it first." ”
"Do you still need to think about it?"
"Nonsense. How long has it been from Shu to this year-old city, I must think about it. After saying that, she began to scratch her ears and cheeks, where to find a topic that interested her.
"You'd better hurry, otherwise, just like that Liu Yunsheng, go back. ”
Zhang Mung Bean raised his eyebrows, "Ah! This is related to the Liu family. ”
"The Liu family?"
"That's right. Zhang Mung Bean Shen mysteriously approached, and lowered his voice, "You know the Ye family of the soul man next door." ”
"Yes. The head of the four major families of the Soul Cultivation Dao. The corners of Li Xinghe's mouth suddenly smiled, and his expression was a little proud, "But, what does it have to do with my Li family?"
"It's not ...... Do you want the Li family to compare with the Ye family? My family elder sent me to tell you, are you going to get ready and go together...... Hmm! ”
Li Xinghe sneered when he heard this, "After that, let's kill the Liu family together, and then your Zhang family will kill us?" funny...... You're not going to frame me, are you?"
"Definitely. In fact, we have no choice but to mention this. Our Zhang family, civil strife is a traditional skill. ”
Li Xinghe raised his eyebrows, "Civil strife again?"
"That's right. That's why the second elder sent me to say this, rather than being exterminated by my own family, it is better to cooperate, and then we who are attached to you can at least keep the Zhang family. After that, Zhang Mung Bean also bumped her arm flatteringly.
Li Xinghe looked at the nonsense Zhang Mung Bean with a smile, at this moment, she didn't want to debunk it immediately, this person, if he can find out here, he must know something. Perhaps, I know more than I do, "I don't know anything about it." I'm in an awkward position at the Li family, and do you know why I'm in this place this time?"
Zhang Mung Bean pretended to hold her hand affectionately, "You won't come to meet me by chance, and then take me to your house, right?"
Li Xinghe resisted the urge to lift her away, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, "You are the oldest, I will pick you up." Of course, I'm here to solve the ghost thing you're interested in, and then go home to ask for credit. ”
"Liu Yunsheng's house is also here for this matter. He knows, and you do. Li Xinghe glanced back at the person who was following behind.
Zhang Mung Bean nodded undeniably.
"Actually, this matter is a secret that our family can't tell. First, it is not good for my family, and second, it is a disgrace. Halfway through the words, Li Xinghe didn't say anything more, "But this matter is not clear in a few words, so you come to me tonight." You're alone. ”
entered the Li family openly, and was alone with this powerless Li Xinghe, she was naturally not afraid of these, "Cheng." I'm going to come to you tonight. ”
Seeing that the goal was achieved, the two girls looked at each other and smiled, and Zhao Qingmeng, who was following behind, was cold in his heart.
Zhao Qingmeng looked at Li Yinkong, who was beside him, walking silently and not wanting to talk to anyone at all, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't help but speak, "That, this hero ......"
"What?"
"I can't speak very well, but I still hope that you will remind Miss Mung Bean to stay away from Miss Xinghe. ”
Li Yinkong was puzzled, "Why?"
Zhao Qingmeng was hard to open, so he had to smile bitterly, "In short, you know...... It's best to be careful. ”
Li Yinkong comprehended and bowed slightly, "Thank you for reminding me." ”
When I arrived near Na Li's house, the sky was already dark blue.
Zhang Mung Bean walked to the top and saw the golden light over there, and the night sky over there was about to be illuminated by the brilliance of the building.
This Li family, no matter how many times she comes, she will be impressed by its extravagance.
She shook her head and continued to follow Li Xinghe, they passed through a busy street, and in front of them was where the Li family was sitting.
When he walked to the dazzling and pompous gate of the Li family, a few people guarding it were faintly visible.
The glamorous and luxurious woman who was guarding the door saw someone, immediately picked up her skirt and hurriedly ran over, "Xinghe! What are you doing running out of the house?! There are so many ...... outside."
Li Xinghe rarely showed the innocent appearance of her youngest daughter's family, she grabbed her mother's hand, "Mother, I just went out to fight ghosts." ”
At this moment, a weak and soft voice sounded in her ears, "Sister......"
Li Xinghe looked at it angrily, and lowered his head in a bluff that the boy who was like a little white rabbit, "What are you doing here, come here, come and see if I can't come back?"
This soft and glutinous call her sister is the concubine who she hated very much from the concubine!
"Sister, I'm not......" Li Yenian's face was sincere, but when he met her eyes, he timidly moved away.
Mrs. Li Jiang Jian grabbed the woman and said casually, "How do you talk to your brother?" Then, she looked up at Zhang Mung Bean with a smile, and then glanced at the ghost corpse following her, "Miss Zhang, why did you come this time?"
Zhang Mung Bean smiled generously and was about to speak, but Li Xinghe took the lead, "When we went today, we happened to meet Miss Zhang who was attacked, and I thought it was a coincidence, and it was rare to see her, so I invited her to play." ”
"Is that so?" Jiang Jian stared at the woman with a meaningful smile.
Li Xinghe nodded, "Yes." ”
"Miss Li is hospitable, so the younger generation is fortunate to come to your mansion. Zhang Mung Bean stared at her, and the two held hands affectionately, like a pair of close friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.
"Oh, that's it. Look, they've been standing outside for a long time, so come in. When he turned around, he quietly and deliberately blocked Li Yenian, forcing him to retreat in embarrassment.
Zhang Mung Bean shook his head, constantly sighing that their family style was pure, and when he passed by him, he smiled sympathetically at him. Li Yenian was stunned for a moment, and smiled shyly.
This is also the beginning of Zhang Mungdou's adventure in the Li family.
Li Yinkong, this kid doesn't need to eat, this time he is smart to stay away from this battlefield without gunpowder! Leaving Zhang Mung Bean alone to stay at this Hongmen banquet, she sat at the wide round table, staring at this table of people who wore gold and silver, and dressed in almost the same style, her face was barely full of smiles.
The Li family is different from other families, there is no sense of ritual of eating, but just like ordinary people, they sit in a bunch of meals and eat, but they are not lively.
In the first half, except for a few polite words at the dinner table, it was quite quiet, and Zhang Mung Bean had time to look at them with his eyes wide while eating.
On this big round table, apart from her, Zhao Qingmeng, who didn't say a word, was the Great Elder's family of five, and the other two elders with disdain written on their faces.
After a cursory glance, she focused her attention on the family of five.
The Great Elder Li Rongxing has been eating quietly, while her wife Jiang Jian and the concubine Tang Zhu have been confronting each other. Li Xinghe was constantly snatching the food that Li Yenian had picked up, and then threw it aside without eating.
Tang Zhuyin looked away impatiently, and then saw this scene, her red mouth pursed, "Xinghe, what do you want to eat, aunt will clip it for you." ”
didn't wait for Li Xinghe to speak, Jiang Jian sneered and said, "Xinghe can eat whatever he wants, if this kid is doting, he will become a dou who can't be helped." ”
The insinuation in these words Tang Zhu understood it, and she slammed her chopsticks on the table, "Madam, I think the child still needs to be properly loved, otherwise the child will not tell you where to go." A mother who can't even find out where her child is going......" she scoffed, "it's funny." ”
The show began, but the two elders pouted impatiently, put down the chopsticks, waved at Li Rong, and then left quietly.
Zhang Mung Bean's chewing speed in his mouth slowed down, and his big eyes didn't leave the two women sitting opposite him for a moment.
Governor Li Rong let out a long sigh and pressed his head in annoyance.
Jiang Jian's face darkened, "What do you mean?"
"Literally, I hope Madame doesn't think about it. Tang Zhuyin smiled proudly.
"Of course I didn't think about it. Jiang Jian sandwiched a piece of meat and put it in Li Yenian's bowl, "Ye Nian, eat it." By the way, how did you learn the trickery in the academy?"
Li Yenian first looked at the food in his bowl flattered, and then felt distressed by her latter question, "Thank you, madam...... I've only recently learned to wake up the ghost array......"
The so-called ghost awakening array is the same as its surface meaning, awakening ghost corpses, but it is still far from controlling.
Jiang Jian couldn't hold back, and the corners of his mouth curled.
Tang Zhu turned her eyes, the woman laughing at her son was seen by her, raised her hand and slapped it on the table, but still didn't calm down, "What do you mean?
Jiang Jian was a little wrong, and then covered his mouth and first glanced at Zhang Mung Dou as a guest, and then looked at Li Rongxing, his voice trembled a little, "Rong Xing, I didn't mean that...... Last time you said that I rarely cared about Ye Nian, I wanted to care, but ...... Today, it seems that I still don't want it, so as not to cause misunderstanding. ”
These words were thrown to Li Rongxing, he had to speak at the moment, he glanced at Jiang Jian, "Zhu Yin, Ah Jian is just concerned about Ye Nian, he is not as good as Xinghe, he is the future successor of the Li family, and the eldest mother has to pay more attention." ”
As soon as these words came out, the scene instantly quieted down, and the faces of this family were different. Jiang Jian was calm, and Li Xinghe was also trying her best to stabilize her expression, but her hands gradually tightened, and her knuckles turned white.
Li Yenian didn't like his father to say this, and the more he said this, the more his sister didn't like him. Therefore, the lower his head sells.
Li Xinghe took a deep breath, tried his best to stabilize himself, and glanced at Zhang Mung Dou, who immediately understood.
"Elder, madam, Mung Bean should take a step back first. She stood up, saluted, and turned to leave.
Immediately afterwards, Li Xinghe also stood up and left in a hurry.
Li Yenian and Zhao Qingmeng also followed.
When the idle people were finished, Li Rongxing got up and threw the chopsticks on the table casually, "There are only a few juniors here, and you are not afraid of people's jokes." It's okay now, and it scares everyone away. ”
"Even if you don't forget it on weekdays, you won't be restrained at critical times, if that mung bean goes back and tells the old men of the Zhang family, it will be a shame for my Li family. ”
is as arrogant as Jiang Jian, she is angry when she hears it, only outsiders are there, just to give her husband face, now she is too lazy to pretend, her chin is raised, and she returns to her previous arrogant and pungent appearance, "Then elder, why don't you ask yourself, if you don't control yourself, there will be today's situation?"
"Jiang Jian!"
"What's the matter, you're yelling at me?" Jiang Jian stared at him, her eyes shining beautifully and sharply, "Don't forget, yours today is only because of my mother's family! ”
"I still want to set up a concubine's son as the head of the family, why, if you don't set up my galaxy, are you afraid that my mother's family will 'coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes'?"
After that, she turned around and seemed to be smiling, "It's up to you, and you're still fighting with me, I don't know if it's gone." You remember, I'm not like you, and I didn't sit in this position by such a lowly means as seduction by beauty. ”
"Finally, don't forget that there is a difference between respect and inferiority, whether it is between you and me, or between children. ”
After saying a series of cruel words, Jiang Jian twisted his thin waist and walked away, leaving the two people looking at each other in front of the dinner table.
