Chapter 005: Success
Li Taiwei returned home in a carriage with her mother, the carriage staggered, passed through Changbai Street, bypassed the long alley of Fulu Hutong, and the things in front of her gradually became clear.
This winding road home has appeared countless times in her dreams.
The carriage stopped, and Mama Jin came over with Nian Xia and Huichun, as well as a group of servants.
"Madame! Madam! You can scare the old slave! ”
Mama Jin looked at Showa carefully, her eyes were a little calm, and her eyes fell on Mrs. Li Wei's face behind Showa, and her eyes moistened.
"The county lord is back, just be safe! Just be in peace! Quick, let's hurry back home, Mama made you your favorite soufflé hibiscus cake. ”
Nian Xia and Huichun also looked at her with a happy face.
Mrs. Li's eyes were hot, looking at the faces of the deceased, and she was almost about to cry again.
Everyone helped Li Taiwei's mother and daughter get out of the car, and then they entered the door, and a familiar figure greeted them, curling Tingting.
Mrs. Li's footsteps froze, and her face sank completely.
"Madam, the lord of the county is well,"
The person who came looked at everyone with a smile and a blessing to Mrs. Li's mother and daughter.
"My aunt heard that the county lord was back and asked me to come to greet her."
Showa bowed his head at her and glanced at Mama Jin again. Mama Jin pursed her lips and nodded secretly.
With such a big commotion today, it will naturally not work if you want to bypass the old woman.
Showa lowered his face, sighed, and asked:
"Ah Luan has just returned home, and he hasn't rested yet, so my mother will call us over?"
The woman pinched her handkerchief and smiled:
"My aunt hasn't seen the county lord for half a year, and her heart is full of thoughts. Fang Cai had already asked Grandma Sun to come to the gatehouse and waited twice, and she was very worried when she saw that Mrs. County Lord had not returned for a long time. That's why I was asked to go in person, and I had to wait for the county lord and his wife to go to Hua'an Hall together. ”
After speaking, she turned her face to look at Li Taiwei, whose eyes were red and swollen, and when she touched the fierce color in her eyes, her eyebrows couldn't help but tremble.
"County Lord, this is ......"
"Why is Cousin Xue still in our house?"
Mrs. Li interrupted her slightly, frowned and asked.
These words were very polite, which surprised everyone, but it was not easy to answer, Xue Suqin was stunned when she heard this, and her smile froze on her face.
Mrs. Li was slightly disdainful:
"I remember that Cousin Xue came to our house before leaving the house, what's the matter? Your Xue family hasn't come to pick up people for most of the past half a year, isn't it because your brother and sister-in-law are so small-minded that they can't tolerate you as an old girl? ”
When everyone heard this, their faces immediately changed.
Mama Jin hurriedly looked at Showa's face, Nian Xia and Huichun glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of surprise.
Xue Suqin asked Li Taiwei to split his head and cover his face in person, the blood on his face faded, his face was as white as paper, but he couldn't reply to a decent word, biting his lip and clutching the handkerchief, his whole body trembled.
"You, what's going on?"
Showa stretched out his hand and nodded affectionately on Li Taiwei's head, took her hand, and led everyone to bypass Xue Suqin and go to Hua'an Hall.
Everyone knows why Miss Xue has lived in the Li Mansion for a long time, but she just takes care of Mrs. Li's face and doesn't break it.
was exposed by Li Taiwei in public today, and Showa's heart was sore and happy.
"You are more restrained, and you are not allowed to come to your grandmother in a while!"
Showa endured the sourness in his heart, and whispered to Li Taiwei:
"Even if your grandmother says something you don't like, you can't talk back, she is your father's aunt, we can't embarrass your father."
Mrs. Li is the grandmother of Mrs. Li's relatives, and she has been strict with her children and grandchildren since she was a child. But Li Taiwei came out of Showa's belly by herself, and she was carved out of a mold with Showa!
Mrs. Li has always loved and hated her......
At noon, the Hua'an Hall was crowded with people, and the offering table was burning sandalwood and curling tobacco.
"Old lady! Madame is back with the county lord! ”
Mama Sun was overjoyed, stepped forward to greet Mrs. Li's mother and daughter, and took Mrs. Li's hand into the door.
Mrs. Li rested on the chaise longue outside the bedroom, but she didn't make a sound when she heard the words.
Showa led Li Taiwei forward and saluted.
Earlier in the carriage, Showa had recombed her hair, and although she hadn't changed her clothes, she looked decent.
Mrs. Li stepped forward and kowtowed to Mrs. Li, and tears fell when she got up.
Everyone was startled, Li Taiwei enlightened herself, and the number of times she cried could be counted with one hand.
Old Madam Li was also shocked, her fingers twisting the rosewood Buddha beads stopped, leaned forward and asked:
"What's wrong?"
Mrs. Li was slightly blinded with tears, got up and threw herself into Mrs. Li's arms, and choked up:
"Grandmother, Ah Luan misses you so much......"
Old Madam Li's originally gloomy face was loosened a lot because of the heartfelt words of the little child.
This monkey has been trained by her a lot since she was a child, and she doesn't have much intimacy with her. But after all, she is her granddaughter, and she has been gone for more than half a year, and most of her heart is thinking of her grandmother.
Showa looked at Li Taiwei in surprise.
This girl has been pampered since she was a child, and she can't stand it, and it's too late to hide when she sees her grandmother, what kind of wind is blowing today?
"Do you know how to miss your grandmother? I think you're trying to run back and get into trouble and block me! ”
Mrs. Li spoke neatly, but she stroked her back with one hand and patted her gently.
"There was such a big incident today, you are a girl's family, and you are still involved with others!"
"Do you want the reputation of the county lord? Where do you put your father's face, our Li family's face? ”
Mrs. Li slightly covered the sparkle in her eyes, leaned on the old lady, and said coquettishly:
"Grandmother, Luan knows it's wrong...... Ah Luan will definitely abide by the rules in the future and not embarrass the Li family. But grandmother...... Today's incident, it's really no wonder Ah Luan! ”
Old Madam Li raised her eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.
"The Hou Shizi of Changping shocked my carriage, not only did he make amends, but he also provoked his words! Although our family is a civil servant, where is it not as expensive as their military generals? If I don't fight back, I will really lose the face of our Li family! ”
Mrs. Li paused slightly, and said with red eyes:
"When his grandfather killed my uncle, they didn't even have a word of guilt in the Marquis of Changping! Today, his words are provocative, and they fall into my hands again, don't say that if I beat him, I will kill him alive, Ah Luan is not afraid! ”
Without warning, she suddenly mentioned her eldest son who died young, and Mrs. Li's body stiffened, and her eyes immediately turned red.
When the old marquis was still alive, her eldest man Li Qian said that he would not take the road of studying and entering the office, and his heart was towards the martial arts examination.
Such an excellent child, practicing hard in the cold window, day and night. When she thinks about it now, her heart hurts.
Later, the old marquis couldn't resist him, so he entrusted Lu Changhai, who was the general of Zhenbei at the time, that is, the father of the Marquis of Changping and Lu Xiao's grandfather, counting on him to bring Li Qian into the army.
But who knew that when Beihu attacked Jingzhou, her young son was assigned to attack as the vanguard, and he was killed in that catastrophe.
Although he has long been prepared to defend his family and the country, he has long been prepared for the horse leather shroud, and he can't complain about this.
But she couldn't help but think, if General Lu was willing to protect her eldest man by her side back then, maybe ...... I won't call her a white-haired person to send a black-haired person!
The guilt and remorse that Mrs. Li has buried deep in her heart over the years have long been kneaded into a ball of resentment. Like a thorn, it pierced her heart fiercely, dripping with blood.
She didn't dare to hate, couldn't hate, buried it deep in her heart for many years, covering this wound to festering and sores......
Now that she was mentioned by Mrs. Li in person, the abscess in her heart seemed to have been cut open and pulled out by someone, and she burst into tears in pain.
"Good boy! It's rare for you to have this kind of heart......"
Mrs. Li covered her mouth with a handkerchief and finally cried. When Mrs. Li cried, all the servants in the room took out their veils.
Showa looked at Mrs. Li who was held in her arms by Mrs. Li in a daze, and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
After Mrs. Li finally stopped her tears, Li Xiang returned to the house with her back feet, and the family had a meal at the old lady's place in a friendly manner.
Li Shengyuan rushed back in a hurry to save the scene, but he never thought that his wife would spoil Li Taiwei with cloth vegetables and soup, and asked Showa with his eyes, what's going on?
Showa was also stunned, and the couple looked at each other, and hurried back to the main room after eating.
After finishing the meal, Mrs. Li saw that Mrs. Li was tired, so she asked her to go back early to rest and talk to her another day.
Walking out of Hua'an Hall with regular steps, Mrs. Li shrunk her neck slightly and looked around, pulled Dafu to a secluded place under the corridor, and asked urgently:
"How? Did you get it? ”
Daifuku nodded again and again, his eyebrows fluttering:
"Lu Shizi was beaten by Lu Houye, and we ran all over the courtyard, we went out of the alley for a long time, and we could hear the beating and scolding......"
When Mrs. Li heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart was extremely ironing.
Standing proudly under the porch for a while, he returned to the courtyard of the long house with swollen eyes like peaches.
