Chapter 157: Breaking the Story
Li Taiwei just arrived at the house, so he hurriedly went to Yunshuiju, but he didn't think about it, but he pounced, and Showa and Li Sheng were not in the room.
After asking, I learned that Mrs. Li suddenly felt unwell at the end of the day, and Li Sheng and Showa both went to visit Hua'an Hall, and even dinner was placed at Mrs. Li.
The grandmother was sick, and her grandchild naturally had to visit.
Li Taiwei went back to Fangfeiyuan to freshen up, changed into clean clothes, and was about to go to Hua'an Hall, but met Li Pu.
Li Pu's face was not very good, and he looked at Li Taiwei's eyes a little unspeakable.
"Why is the second brother here?"
Mrs. Li thought of Mrs. Li's body and asked again,
"I just heard that my grandmother is not in good health, has the second brother visited her?"
Li Pu nodded when he heard this:
"I went with my eldest brother and father at the next day, and my grandmother was fine, and the doctor said that I was tired these days......
Mrs. Li was slightly relieved, and seeing that Li Pu must have something to say when she came to find her at this time, she led him to sit under the flower stand in the courtyard and ordered Dafu to serve tea.
"Second Uncle is healed from his injuries? A few days ago, I asked someone to send the anti-stasis cream, can the second uncle apply it on time? ”
Li Pu's face eased twice, and he smiled lightly:
"Thanks to your ointment, the wound on my father's head heals much better...... The foot injury is no longer in the way, listen to his meaning, and in a few days he will be able to go to work in the yamen. ”
Mrs. Li nodded when she heard this:
"That's good, the second uncle is a diligent man, and if he wants to stay in the house to recuperate these days, he has already made him suffocated......"
"My father on the other side of the Ministry of Rites has already ordered someone to explain, and there will be no more of the previous incident, even the eldest brother's military department also greeted Lu Hou......
When Li Pu heard this, his eyes showed gratitude.
He knew in his heart that even if the third uncle didn't explain again in person this time, just because his father was injured last time, the third uncle was willing to personally take people back to the house, and his father would be much easier to walk in the Ministry of Rites in the future.
Although the eldest brother is not as ostracized as his father, he has also received a lot of eyes in the end, and the third uncle can do so much for his second room, which is really benevolent and righteous.
"What's wrong with the second brother?"
Mrs. Li saw that Li Pu's face was still a little sullen, so she asked.
The September day was a little cold in the morning and evening, Dafu took a cloak from the cage and put it on Mrs. Li, and added tea to the two, and when he turned around, he looked at Li Pu, who was gloomy, and his eyes showed two points of worry.
Li Pu held the tea, lowered his head and sat silently for a while, before raising his eyes and saying to Mrs. Li:
"When the eldest brother returned home, I heard him say something about Li Yao......"
Mrs. Li took the fingertips of the tea for a moment, raised her eyes and said:
"Today's matter is urgent, and I blame that I didn't find the opportunity to talk to you about it. Now that you know, you still need to make an idea with the second uncle and eldest brother as soon as possible, the matter of the fourth sister...... I'm afraid it's a little tricky......"
As soon as Li Pu heard this, his face turned a little pale:
"Li Yao's business...... I can't tell my father about it just yet......"
"You also know that since the death of her mother, her personality has changed a lot...... My father hasn't crossed the hurdle in his heart yet, and he can't take care of her right now......"
"My eldest brother and I are both men, and there are some things I can't say to her, and she may not really listen to them...... I'm even more afraid that if I push her hard, I will let her have a mind on the side......"
Li Pu clenched his fingertips, looked at Li Taiwei's eyes, and prayed with two points:
Since her mother's death, Qiutang Courtyard has become her nightmare...... I think that if she is willing to live in her grandfather's house for a long time, and can be taught by her aunt and grandmother, she may be able to get better gradually......"
Li Taiwei immediately understood Li Pu's good intentions, but it was a pity...... He didn't know that Sheng Rubai, who Li Yao was very likely to fall in love with, was definitely not a good match!
"Does the second brother want me to come forward to persuade my grandmother to let go?"
Mrs. Li blew the hot air in the cup slightly,
"What kind of reputation the Bai family has now, I don't need to say that the second brother knows it in his own heart...... If the fourth sister is raised in Yongping Bofu from now on, when it is difficult to get married in the future, it will be our Li family who will be poked in the backbone. ”
When Li Pu heard this, he couldn't help but hang his head, he naturally understood all these truths, but what else could he do now?
Mrs. Li didn't care about Li Pu's embarrassment, and continued:
"Not to mention that grandmother can't respond to this matter at all, even if grandmother does, if you say to the second uncle, he won't allow it......"
"Besides, the fourth sister has not yet found out the person who has a private meeting, if it is an unreliable ...... After this incident, the Bai family is still too busy to take care of themselves, where is the spare energy to take care of your sister for you? ”
"Besides...... The second brother thinks that if the Bai family knew that the fourth sister was acting so out of line, would they really be willing to accept her into the mansion to live permanently, ruining the reputation of the girls in his own mansion? ”
Li Pu heard these point-to-the-point words, only to feel that his body was cold and piercing, and he subconsciously shrank his shoulders slightly.
Li Taiwei raised her hand to pour hot tea into Li Pu's cup, softened her voice, and said:
"Yesterday, I heard grandma Sun mention that my grandmother originally wanted to talk about family affairs for the fourth sister, the eldest son of Sun Junshou in Tongzhou...... But the fourth sister refused. ”
"The fourth sister is now demonic, and the person who can save her may only be you, the second brother, ......"
Li Pu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, although he didn't think about asking Li Yao to marry as soon as possible, but Sun Jun had a very good reputation as an official, and he was the eldest son of the Sun family...... is when the second room is glorious, and this family affair is not a low marriage.
Grandmother can have this heart and try her best to promote this matter, which is to make the best plan for Li Yao...... But why did Li Yao ......
Isn't it...... Did Li Yao really have an affair with someone?
When Li Pu thought of this, a thin layer of sweat immediately oozed from his forehead......
When Mrs. Li saw him look like this, she knew how much he had guessed, and continued:
"I remember that when the fourth sister left home, it was Sheng Gongzi who sent her home, so my brother might as well start with this person and find an opportunity to have a good talk with the fourth sister......"
Li Pu suddenly raised his eyes and said in surprise:
"You...... You mean Sheng joins the army? ”
Mrs. Li did not deny:
"The fourth sister rarely goes out, and I just guess, yes or no, the second brother still asked the fourth sister to know ......"
"But...... If this is the case, what is the brother going to do? ”
Li Pu was in a trance when he was asked by Mrs. Li, and he clenched his lap tightly with an uneasy expression.
Li Yao is only thirteen years old, but Sheng Rubai has already become an adult! If the two really have a private relationship, he can ask Lu Hou to come forward to propose marriage, how can he bewitch Li Yao to have a private meeting? If it's not good, Li Yao's reputation will ......
"I heard Lu Shizi say, this Sheng Gongzi's kung fu is not weak, you don't have to act recklessly, it's better to probe the fourth sister's tone first......"
Li Taiwei saw that his face was a little dark, and hurriedly said,
"Besides, there is no evidence for this matter, and if it is opened, it will be even more detrimental to the reputation of the fourth sister......"
Li Pu stiffened and nodded slowly.
Mrs. Li saw that it was not too early, and she had to go to Hua'an Hall to visit Mrs. Li in a while, so she asked Dafu to send Li Pu back in person.
Daifuku only left on the front foot, and Li Sheng came to Fangfei Yuan on the back foot.
Mrs. Li saw that his expression was solemn, and he didn't see his mother behind him, so he guessed that something big must have happened, so that he could let his mother go.
Sure enough, Li Sheng called Li Taiwei to the study, took out a rolled piece of drawing paper from the drawer, and handed it to Li Taiwei.
"Look, it was sent by Jingzhao Mansion an hour ago."
Mrs. Li hesitated to take the scroll, slowly unfolded it, and a face suddenly appeared, almost shocking her!
"It's ...... Red vermilion? ”
