Chapter 19: Eccentricity
Since it's their family eating, I guess they don't have anything to do.
Li Baojia blessed the salute and wanted to leave, but turned his head but was stopped by Mother Lin, who had just come from Huang Ru'er: "Miss, Madame asked you to go to dinner, the master said that the family hasn't been together for a long time, so let's have lunch together." ”
Yes?
Li Baojia is 10,000 unwilling, it is better to go back to the small courtyard to eat the incense from his own kitchen, order whatever he wants, and he doesn't have to deal with some messy polite words.
But since her father had already spoken, it was not easy not to go.
Li Mingxuan next to him said: "That's right, come with me." ”
Li Baojia nodded: "Then let's go, second brother." ”
——
When I got to the ground, I found that Huang Ru'er and Qin Ke had already sat down, Li Wangde hadn't come yet, and Li Li next to him was lying on the dining table: "Mother, why hasn't my father come yet, I'm starving to death."
Qin Ke glared at him: "Hurry up!" How did I teach you, you have to eat like eating. Your father is busy every day, you have to know how to be considerate. ”
Huang Ru'er didn't have any expression, and sneered at her words in her heart, if she was really so strict, could she still teach Li Li to be like this?
But he was only seven or eight years old, and he was so flamboyant, and he was only interested in the flowers and flowers of the beautiful maids all day long.
In the past, he always said that Li Mingxuan didn't grow up in front of her, and he wasn't close to her, this Li Li grew up in front of her, what good son did she teach?
Li Li's uncaring Nunu mouth slid up from the table like a boneless.
When Huang Ru'er saw Li Baojia coming, she smiled a little happily: "Jia'er is here, come and sit here." ”
Li Baojia sat down as he said, Qin Ke was also happy to see Li Mingxuan coming, Li Li looked at his brother and his eyes lit up: "Second brother!" You're back, did you bring me a present? ”
Li Mingxuan had a day earlier than usual for this holiday, so he naturally didn't have any preparations, he scratched his head a little embarrassed: "Li'er, I'm in a hurry to come back this time, I'll buy it for you again during the Lantern Festival." ”
Li Li was already pampered at home, and he was a little unhappy when he saw this scene: "Second brother, did you only buy things for Li Baojia, so you didn't buy them for me!" ”
Qin Ke slapped his hand: "What are you talking about, Li'er, your brother is in a hurry to come back, didn't he say it, the Lantern Festival will make it up for you, don't make trouble." ”
Huang Ru'er sneered: "It's time to discipline well, when I saw my sister and called her by her name, I was so uneducated." ”
Li Baojia is next to the old god, she doesn't know how many times she has seen this scene since she was a child, it's like an endless drama, and every time she plays the same scene.
Li Li got up from the stool: "I don't care, I don't care!" I want today's gift! Don't think I don't know, you just bought it for Li Baojia! ”
"Mother! Brother he would rather buy it for Li Baojia than buy it for me! Obviously, I am his own brother. ”
Hearing this, Qin Ke looked at Li Mingxuan with some suspicion, but still pulled Li Li: "Your brother didn't buy anything, come down quickly." ”
Li Mingxuan was a little helpless.
At the same time, he was also a little chilling, at home, he, as an elder brother, could only experience a trace of the feeling of being a brother when facing Li Baojia, and Li Li had no respect for him.
Qin Ke loved him to the core, indulged and doted on him, and never disciplined him much in the face of his presumptuousness, just let him let his younger brother go.
Li Wangde is nearly fifty years old and has a son, so he naturally loves him more, although he is not as indulgent and doting as Qin Ke, but he is not far behind.
For him, Li Wangde is strict, always saying that he is the eldest son of this family, and the burden of the family will be placed on his shoulders in the future, but he always thinks, what if he becomes the head of the family?
Now he can't control Li Li, and he can't control it, and it will be the same in the future.
Li Li didn't give up: "Then you ask him to take out all the things in his sleeve, he must buy something for Li Baojia." ”
He had already seen that there was a long cylindrical protrusion in his sleeve, and it must have been hidden.
He is his own brother, he asked him to buy him crickets last time, he didn't buy them, he only knew to buy things for Li Baojia, this time he will teach his mother a lesson.
Qin Ke had a headache, she turned to Li Mingxuan: "Mingxuan...... You see...... Your brother is making a lot of trouble, you ...... You just show him, and if he doesn't make trouble after seeing it......"
Again, always.
Li Mingxuan suddenly felt a little weak, he reached out and touched his sleeve, if it was an ordinary thing, it would be fine......
As the eldest son in the family, he did not receive the slightest respect he deserved, and his younger brother could even play and sabotage in his study at will, but he could not even say a word.
Qin could see that he didn't let go for a long time, and he felt more and more that what Li Li said was right: "What are you doing and don't show your brother?" ”
"You really bought something for Li Baojia and didn't buy it for your brother? You, you ......"
Li Mingxuan took out the thing in his sleeve, which was a long wooden box with a lotus pattern engraved on it, which looked quite exquisite.
Qin Ke took it and opened it, and inside was a delicate bead flower, which was the favorite powder blue of the girls nowadays, overflowing with light, and it was worth a lot of money when you looked at it.
This...... This is the Lantern Festival for girls?
She looked up, "You—Do you have a girl you like?" ”
Li Mingxuan closed his eyes and pulled back the box: "Mother, I am a little unwell today, so I will not eat lunch and go to read first." ”
He raised his sleeves and turned to leave, Qin Ke was still behind and said, "You can't teach those women outside privately, I won't agree, did you hear!" ”
Li Baojia only looked at these things in front of him coldly.
Qin Ke looks shrewd, but in fact, she is quite accomplished in pleasing men, and she is really confused to the extreme when it comes to disciplining her son.
She always thought that Li Mingxuan was not raised in front of her, she was raised in front of the old lady when she was a child, and later she was taught by Li Wangde himself, Li Mingde didn't say it, the old lady was already dissatisfied with her, and she had to leave her son with her?
She was already seriously suspicious, and she felt that her son was not subject to her discipline, and she was still close to Li Baojia, and felt that this son was unreliable, so it was not as good as Li Li Kexin, who was raised in front of her, and her preference for Li Li was even more obvious.
As everyone knows, the more she is like this, the further Li Mingxuan will be pushed, after all, a mother with a crooked heart and nervousness, who can stand it?
Huang Ru'er was happy, watching the show on the side, as long as Qin Ke was uncomfortable, she would be comfortable.
Qin Ke turned around and glared at Li Li: "You, you......"
Li Li obviously knew that he was in trouble, but this time he obediently sat in the chair and didn't speak.
Li Wangde came late from the door, and met Li Mingxuan, who was going out from the door.
Li Mingxuan saluted him: "Father." ”
Li Wangde said: "What's the matter, the house is so lively? ”
Qin Ke hurriedly said: "Master, it's nothing, Li'er is playing with his brother and making his brother angry." ”
Turning his head, he said, "Li'er, don't apologize to your brother yet." ”
He lifted him up and pushed him forward: "Hurry up." ”
Li Wangde laughed and flicked Li Li's forehead affectionately: "Brother just came back, what are you naughty with him?" ”
Turning his head to Li Mingxuan, he said: "Don't lose your temper, come over for dinner, your younger brother is still young, it's normal to be ignorant, you let him be a little bit, and show the bearing of the eldest son of my Li Mansion." It's always such a small family. ”
