Chapter 344: Scum
For life events, Li Kui himself said that it is definitely not appropriate.
How can you decide the major events of life for yourself? The life of the parents and the words of the matchmaker are indispensable. The situation in Li Kui's family is special, if his parents say that his father died early, if there is a past of marriage, there is no need to be so troublesome. But it's up to the mother to decide.
But the problem is, the old lady Zhang is unreliable!
For Zhang, her son is a star-like figure in the sky, and mortals may no longer be worthy of her precious son. If you really put on this posture, you will definitely be beaten by reality. In the face of the arrogant Zhang, Taishi Liu was most likely to be angry. Although he is extremely satisfied with Li Kui, his daughter is not to the point where he can't get married.
In addition, the elders can also call the shots for Li Kui.
Li Kui thought about it, and could only push it on the third uncle with the highest reputation among the Li clan at this time.
Thinking of these, Li Kui also has the backbone in his heart, and he really doesn't care too much about marrying a wife. The men of the Great Song Dynasty only consider two things when marrying a wife, is it the right one? Is the dowry rich?
Neither of these things is important to Li Kui. It is said that he will marry a wife and marry a virtuous person, but Li Kui doesn't think that he can't even settle the matter of the back house, so what are you messing with? It doesn't matter if he is virtuous or not, anyway, if he marries a wife in the future, the Yue family will definitely be rich and noble, and he doesn't expect his wife to serve people and cook in the future. Anyway, in today's capital, dignitaries and nobles can't see Li Kui's shining advantages like gold. As for the dowry, the Li family did not lack this money at all.
Li Kui hesitated: "It is disrespectful to Uncle Liu to let the kid decide at this time. It just so happened that the old patriarch came back to the capital a few days later, and his old man did everything properly, I don't know what Uncle Liu thought? ”
"Old man Li?"
I have to say that when Li Kui threw out the big killer in Baizhang Village, Liu Baosheng's nervous mood was immediately relieved. In his opinion, Old Man Li is a reasonable person.
Of course, this is just Liu Baosheng's own words. In other words, I don't think that the old man Li in the past, and the old lady Li now, is a reasonable person.
Li Kui explained: "Uncle Liu, when my old patriarch comes back to the capital after the New Year, the boy's affairs are all up to his old man. ”
Li Kui is also talking nonsense with his eyes open. The authority of the third uncle in Baizhang Village can suppress the sons of the seventh and fifth children, and they can also suppress the grandchildren of Li Qing and Li Bian, but he can't control Li Kui's affairs.
Liu Baosheng and the third uncle only had one interaction, and in his impression, this old man who lived in seclusion in Baizhang Village gave him the feeling of two words, righteousness!
For this senior, Liu Baosheng was deeply convinced, and his heart was even more determined, and the marriage of the fifth child was stable. No matter from that aspect, the concubines of the Taishi Mansion naturally do not worry about getting married.
But Li Kui is different, this guy can always be unexpectedly eye-catching, and even Liu Baosheng is worried that once Li Kui is admitted to the Jinshi, will the relationship between them be as harmonious as before. After all, the fourth child does not stop in the palace. For this daughter, Liu Baosheng is also a big head.
To be honest, he didn't approve of the fourth child competing for the position of queen that had been decided.
Throughout the ages, how many families have lost their lives for the so-called harem dispute? Even if the queen's throne is obtained by the Liu family, there is still a possibility of losing it. Once lost, the entire Liu family will suffer a catastrophe. What Liu Baosheng prefers to see is that his daughter Liu Qingjing is in the palace, using her life to survive the queen, as long as the queen dies one day early, he can also become the prince of the country safely. Today's Liu family wants to be steady step by step, not radical.
This is the biggest concern of Liu Baosheng, who is good at pondering but has few schemes. It also led to the fact that the Liu family wanted to use marriage to win over powerful allies, which was almost impossible to achieve.
The century-old family looks down on the Liu family.
If you want to tie up with the small family of the Liu family, they are all wall grass.
If there is good, it will come, and if there is evil, it will run.
This is also Liu Baosheng's firm plan to recruit Li Kui as a son-in-law. Li Kui is the only choice for the Liu family.
But the Liu family is not necessarily Li Kui's best choice.
Li Kui's strength is not good, but he is very shameless in the ranks of the literati, and he also allows him to stand firm. The identity of Sumen's disciple made him have a certain degree of popularity among the literati.
In addition, Liu Baosheng also knows his own family affairs, and his daughter, Wen Wanxian Shushang, is definitely not as good as the little lady who came out of the scholarly family. Liu Qingqian's appearance can be proud of the crowd, but the problem is that Li Kui is rich!
Is it difficult for a rich man to find a beautiful woman?
There is an Oiran Contest in the capital every year, and although the Oiran ladies who are skilled, gentle and lovely, and can please men, are expensive, they are not a matter at all for Li Kui. If you add his status as a civil servant, how many women are moving forward?
There is also a hidden worry that Liu Baosheng is worried that the emperor's head will twitch, and suddenly something will be wrong that day, so he will marry his family.
It stands to reason that this is a good thing.
But the problem is that the object of the emperor's marriage can only be found among the grandmasters and nobles. These people, most likely, are all smugglers, and their eyes are gray, so they almost have three big characters written on their faces - white-eyed wolves.
If your own daughter marries in the past, she will not only suffer in vain, but the family will also be dragged down. Rather than this, it is better to cheapen Li Kui, at least the previous cooperation between the Liu family and the Li family was very tacit, and they also adhered to the word Xinyi.
Thinking that his daughter's marriage had been settled, Liu Baosheng was very relieved to pick up the wine bowl in front of him, kill it in one gulp, laugh heartily, and see Li Kui also pick up the wine bowl with the rest of his eyes, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly stopped: "Virtuous nephew and slow!" ”
"The virtuous nephew now has to focus on the imperial examination, and this is a critical moment, and he can't delay the business because of drinking."
Li Kui put down the wine bowl a little stupidly, he likes to drink. Of course, I also know that the wine is not good, and if you drink less, you won't go crazy. The worst drunkenness he has ever recorded was in Linyi City, and after getting drunk, he smashed the restaurant, but fortunately Zhang Dian left early that day, otherwise the dignified Zhang Xiang might have become the first deputy prime minister and senior official to be beaten by Li Kui's men.
Fortunately, there was no trouble, otherwise, according to Zhang Dan's careful eyes, Li Kui might be cold!
The stone in his heart fell to the ground, and Liu Baosheng and his three sons-in-law were very happy. The problem of the old Liu family was solved, and the relationship between the eldest son-in-law and Su Men was closer, and the second son-in-law thought that if he installed some Li clan people in the army, he would not necessarily have to be a weak brigade in his tiger battalion, and the third son-in-law was the most real, he had already witnessed Li Kui fighting the tiger with his own eyes, and he had determined that there were so many heroes in the world, and Li Kui would bear the brunt of the attack.
"Virtuous nephew, no...... Virtuous son-in-law, eat vegetables! ”
"Fourth brother!"
Li Kui was also made red-faced, so he could only bury his head in being a foodie. Don't look at the people of the Liu family are very satisfied, but there is one person who is as frightened as if he has fallen into an ice cave.
If Miss Fifth marries Li Kui, then the people around her will become dowries.
According to the custom of marrying a daughter in a large family, the mother's family will send a housekeeper, the female steward of the back house, the housekeeper will manage the fields and shops in the dowry, and the female housekeeper will take care of the back house. But the maids in the young lady's boudoir became the little wives of the new aunt. Of course, there are many uses, for example, when the hostess is pregnant, she takes the place of the hostess to contain the aunt's thoughts. Of course, maybe you can't wait for this day at all, and you will become your uncle's concubine.
That's what I mean, mother-in-law.
The man's little wife.
In a large family, the maid next to the mother had an affair with her son, which is said to be a big scandal that cannot be tolerated morally.
Xiao Ju, as Liu Qingqian's personal maid, naturally couldn't escape Li Kui's clutches. A girl's heart, a needle under the sea, which girl doesn't have a real hero in her heart that makes them fascinated. But Xiaoju's taste is far less heavy than that of her own young lady, she regards Li Kui as a demon, and her big hero is the kind of gentle and elegant, fair-skinned and beautiful, handsome and starry young student.
Among all the advantages of Li Kui, one young student echoes her expectations of Ailang, and the others are all negative points.
But the identity of a student, compared to other advantages, is the least important!
Xiao Ju, who was serving in the flower hall instead of her own lady, was said by her own master: virtuous son-in-law. was so frightened that her face was discolored, and the elbow of sauce she was holding flipped over the plate in her despair, and ran away to Li Kui.
Li Kui's keen senses of practicing martial arts all year round, how could he let a sauce elbow dirty new clothes?
Pity the flowers, this kind of word in his brain is always discarded garbage in the corner.
Just when the elbow was about to fall on the placket of his clothes, he shook his upper body slightly, and pushed a handful of chrysanthemums behind him. Even if Li Kui has carefully controlled his strength, he can push thousands of catties of Dading, let alone a delicate girl. Xiao Ju was pushed to her head, with a desperate cry, lying on the ground and raising her pretty face, looking at her master.
Liu Baosheng didn't see his maid's dissatisfaction with Li Kui at all, and thought that this slave was spoiled by his daughter, and wanted to sell pity to win his forgiveness.
Liu Baosheng said angrily with a calm face: "Useless things, get out!" ”
He doesn't have much patience with the maid. These pig-like things, in the Taishi Mansion, they are clothed and fed, if they are at home, they may eat chaff vegetables, how can he think about the future and preferences of a maid?
Xiao Ju ran away crying and crawling.
Although Li Kui was in the midst of warm hospitality, he left with a full hiccups. But Xiaoju's accident always made him feel that something was wrong in his heart. Liu Qingqian's maid showed strong hostility from the first time she saw him. This kind of hostility made him very inexplicable at first, but Fan Chong has experience! In Li Kui's shameless questioning, the noble son Fan Chong, a disciple of the elite family, gave him a job to solve his doubts: "My wife's maids are all prepared for you!" She is hostile to you, there is only one explanation. That Xiaoju next to Miss Liu is not satisfied with you. It should be looks. ”
Seeing that Li Kui's face was a little dark, Fan Chong changed his words in time.
"In order to keep the new aunt from being ignorant in sexual affairs, some families let the maid replace the young lady in advance to teach the uncle about important matters." Fan Chong pretended to be profound: "This kind of thing, once you have it, you can understand everything." ”
"But these troubles are not needed by the disciples of the family, and when the child reaches the age of sixteen, the mother will give the child a maidservant to teach the family the major affairs of the branches." Fan Chong recalled for a while, and then smiled: "Our family is fifteen years old, with four maidservants. I started to enjoy it, but after a long time, it was very boring. ”
Fan Chong understood very well, and under his disdainful gaze, Li Kui, Li Kui and Gao Yu, the three civilians, pointed at Fan Chong indignantly and scolded: "Scum! ”
