Chapter 680: The Li Family's Choice (1)
"If you want to protect the Li family, or protect the concubine Niangniang, the old man needs to make a decision as soon as possible."
After listening to Li Fengnian's words, Li Shunshui directly gave this sentence, and Li Fengnian couldn't sit still for an instant.
"What do you mean, Niangniang is the support of our Li family!"
Li Shunshui looked at Li Fengnian, who was panicked, and said seriously and seriously: "Old man, having a concubine in the palace is indeed beneficial to the Li family, but there are many beauties in the emperor's harem, how much grace can the concubine win from the concubine?" Can this favor really become the Li family's reliance? The old man should understand this truth better than Shunshui, everyone's clan is not based on the favor that a woman strives for, but the family style, the wind evaluation, and the accumulation of several generations... In addition to the concubine Niangniang in the palace, there are also three masters and uncles in the court! ”
"But Niangniang..."
"Old man, to say something disrespectful, if Niangniang really did something illegal with the hand of Baili Yongkang, then the Li family should stand firm, if not, just sent him to do something or used Niangniang's identity to get some silver from the other party, then why is Niangniang afraid of that Baili Yongkang? Even if the emperor knows, it won't hurt too much, sometimes in the eyes of the superiors, it's just a little greed of human nature, and imperfection is more reassuring. ”
Li Shunshui's meaning is obvious, if Concubine Yao really colluded with people outside the palace to do illegal things, the Li family should take a clear position, not to say that righteousness kills relatives, but it must not be in the same stream, if Concubine Yao is just greedy for a little silver tael, then the Li family can not be wrong and fall into it, but to let Concubine Yao get lost as soon as possible, and Concubine Yao will not be affected too much, in short, it is not a wise move to protect Baili Yongkang.
Li Shunshui's words put Li Fengnian in a dilemma.
Although he is the patriarch of the Li family and the elder of Concubine Yao, the other party is a noble person who he has to salute when he sees him.
But he also listened to Li Fengnian's words, and he agreed with it in his heart, but over the years, the Li family has leaned all their resources towards Concubine Yao to help her stay in the harem, which is a feeling of being in the water.
"When the judgment continues, you will suffer from it, old man, think about it." At this point, he couldn't help them decide what to do.
He knew that he, the son of the Li family, was actually just an outsider brought back by the patriarch in the hearts of the Li family, and he was given a little bit of the patriarch's noodles.
Li Fengnian lowered his head and thought for a while, nodding heavily, "The spring exam will be in two days, if it's not early, you should rest early and prepare for the spring exam." ”
It seems that there is a decision, as for what the old man's decision is, Li Shunshui didn't ask much, saluted and retired, without a single superfluous word.
Seeing Li Shunshui leave, Li Fengnian suddenly sighed with emotion.
This world, after all, is the world of young people, they are old!
Get up and stride away, the Li family really can't take such a big risk for the sake of the concubine, this is a quagmire, it will fall deeper and deeper, and in the end, if you can't pull it out, the Li family will be over.
At this time, it will be damaged in time, although it will hurt, but it will not hurt the muscles and bones.
Concubine Yao is a noble concubine with a noble status, but Li Fengnian is the head of the Li family, and the Li family's affairs, in the end, it is the head of the family who is in charge rather than the concubine.
"Uncle, did you really decide not to help this palace?"
Concubine Yao didn't expect Li Fengnian to regret it, her heart was in turmoil, and she had to pretend to be calm on her face.
Li Fengnian got up and arched his hand, "Niangniang, it's not that the old man doesn't help, but he can't help, the Li family has been building for hundreds of years, the old man is the head of the Li family, he can't let the Li family take such a big risk, hundreds of people in the Li family, if something happens, the old man can't explain to the ancestors and ancestors, Niangniang, as long as you don't do anything illegal and undisciplined, but some money exchanges, you can't be dragged into the water by the Baili Yongkang for a while, he is involved in a homicide, Niangniang, you might as well think about it, except for such a big thing, he didn't let the Baili family find a way to help him, There is no one from the Baili family to accompany him, but he came directly to find you, which shows that this Baili Yongkang is nothing more than this in the Baili family, such a person, you are bothering to take the risk to keep it, what's the use? ”
Moved by emotion and reasoned, Li Fengnian said everything he could say and what he should say.
If Niangniang doesn't listen, then nine times out of ten, Niangniang has done something inappropriate, so the Li family can't participate in it.
"Uncle, Niangniang, she is the reliance of our Li family, although the queen is now decided, but the queen's maiden family has no power and power, it is difficult to say whether she can sit firmly in the middle palace, the master of the harem is not without a chance, if she is asked to explain this matter to the emperor, it will inevitably affect the future of the mother!"
The other rooms were silent, obviously agreeing with Li Fengnian's decision, but Concubine Yao's father was towards his daughter after all, and it was precisely because of this concubine in the palace that their room had a superior status in the clan.
"Big brother, speaking of which, the whole thing started because of Shaojin, this kid is not a reliable person in doing things on weekdays, you said why did you let him do this at the time, and it turned out to be such a big mess... 100,000 taels, you and I don't have such courage, if this time it is to protect him from the Li family, we can't explain to the Li family, and besides, Niangniang is not a big deal here, and I can't make an outsider for Baili Yongkang to put the Li family in danger, Niangniang has always been measured, and Baili Yongkang is a lot of money..."
At this time, the third master of the Li family also spoke, he is also in the court, although he is a military general, but he also has a reputation, this time his son has to participate in the spring test, for the sake of the big house and the family to take such a big risk, a bad one will be matched with his career and his son's future, he has something to say.
As soon as he spoke, the other rooms followed suit.
Seeing this, Li Jianshu understood in his heart that they all agreed with the patriarch's meaning, so he could only look at Concubine Yao helplessly.
"Mother, please think again."
Li Fengnian saluted directly at Concubine Yao, and the others immediately followed.
Concubine Yao looked at the scene in front of her, her heart was full of anger, but it was more of a sense of desolation, her daughter's family, for the Li family, was not worth their desperate help after all, it was very good, she would remember it.
"That's it, since it is the decision of the patriarch and your uncles, then do it according to your wishes, this palace will enter the palace to meet the emperor, in the final analysis, this matter is caused by this palace, if the Li family is implicated in this matter, this palace can't say sorry here, this palace is a daughter's family, you can't pick your hand and can't mention it, I'm afraid you won't be able to do your best for the Li family in the future."
From now on, don't blame her, the daughter of the Li family, for not caring about her feelings.
"!"
Seeing Concubine Yao throw up her sleeves and turn away, Li Jianshu chased after her anxiously.
Concubine Yao didn't listen to a single step, and she didn't even go to say hello to Mrs. Li, and went out of the house directly.
"!"
Li Jianshu chased all the way out of the house.
"Dad, you also saw it today, this mother's family, this palace is unreliable, whether the palace is good or bad in the future has nothing to do with the Li family, whether the Li family is good or bad has nothing to do with the palace, Dad, it's good that the second brother can save his life when he goes to the criminal department this time, don't ask too much, you tell your mother, this palace is too busy to take care of herself this time, let her not blame me for ignoring the feelings of my brother and sister."
"Niangniang, then you..." The son wants to pay for one, and the daughter's future is also going to be taken in, Li Jianshu's mood can be imagined at this moment.
"Dad, don't worry, the affairs of this palace will be solved by the palace itself, but after today, anything else in the Li family has nothing to do with this palace."
