If there is anyone she is afraid of when she wants to ask Pang Qiuxia, who is loyal to the Lord, it can only be his brother Pang Wanchun.

Of course, she is not afraid on weekdays, only when Pang Wanchun is angry, she will have a sense of cowardice in her heart.

Pang Qiuxia ran to her brother with monstrous anger to complain, saying that Li Kui had bullied the fifth lady miserably, and wanted to pull his brother to participate in the application for Li Kui.

When Pang Wanchun heard it at first glance, he thought it was true. But when I took a closer look, I felt that something was wrong. Why did Li Kui bully Miss Five?

Aren't they childhood sweethearts? On the first night of the wedding, he behaved like a beast? The more I think about it, the more wrong it is, it won't be the first night of the wedding, Li Kui and Miss Five are hiding in the new house, right? You have to do something worthy of your ancestors. There is a point condition, too normal. Thinking of this, even Pang Wanchun was embarrassed, and his face immediately sank.

Pang Wanchun, who is no longer a junior brother, naturally understands the truth.

He couldn't say:

"It is the age of broken melons, and he is used to being forgiven.

The spirit of peach and plum parrot tongue can be wasted all night.

But he loves Lan Luo's skirt and envies his long waist. ”

Such poems.

He didn't even make it to say: "Who can solve a kind of ecstasy, Yun Ying broke the melon three or five times." thoughts.

But he also understood: "At the age of breaking melons, I admire the void." The profound meaning of ". In the face of his sister-in-law, he just boiled dumplings in a teapot, and he couldn't say this kind of artistic conception.

Although they are brothers and sisters, they also have some things to say and some things they can't say. And the source of his sister's anger belongs to the category that he can't say. What if there is a woman in the house...... Pang Wanchun pondered, maybe it would be much better. It's a pity that things are in a hurry, where can he find someone to replace the role of his sister-in-law temporarily?

As for the parents at home, there are two brothers and sisters left in their family. The eldest brother is like a father, but he also encountered something different between men and women, which made Pang Wanchun's face red and white, so he was not embarrassed.

In the face of the shouting, raising the slingshot in his hand to protect Miss Five's sister, Pang Wanchun silently confiscated his sister's slingshot, and told his sister very seriously: "You can't be so wild in the future, the Li family is a scholar, and she will not be allowed to make a ...... in the future."

"Give it back!"

Seeing that her favorite slingshot was confiscated by her brother, Pang Qiuxia suddenly became anxious, jumping on the ground like a mole, but she couldn't snatch back her precious slingshot from Pang Wanchun's hand.

Although Pang Wanchun's martial arts are low, his only strength is the invincibility of the divine arrow. Now he doesn't even have the mind to compete with Ruan Xiaoer, he has been reduced to the point where he can only bully a half-sized boy like the bear child Ruan Xiaoqi under Li Kui, but it is too simple to prevent his sister from snatching the slingshot back.

It was another threat, and another angry reprimand, and finally waited for his sister to stop a little, and then he spoke: "Sister, you have such a character, where will your in-laws want you in the future?" ”

If this were to say this to a sixteen-year-old girl, it would be a nightmare of a bolt from the sky and the sky would fall.

But Pang Qiuxia was only thirteen years old.

Of course, a thirteen-year-old girl from an ordinary family also knows how to be a female celebrity, and if she doesn't know how to be diligent and thrifty, she will not be happy after getting married. It's a pity that Pang Wanchun is the child king around the Taishi Mansion, she is a daughter, but she has the heart of a bear child. He crossed his waist and shouted at Pang Wanchun: "Isn't it just a man, my aunt and grandmother go to the street for a walk, and it's okay to rob ten or eight!" ”

Pang Wanchun jumped like thunder angrily: "You Nizi, you want to be a female overlord......"

Halfway through the words, even Pang Wanchun was a little overwhelmed.

Who is the Li family, isn't he still clear?

If my sister really becomes like this, I'm afraid that Li Kui will continue to be raised in the direction of the female overlord. When he met Li Kui in Yizhou, Li Kui showed enthusiasm that made him suspicious, which was very suspicious.

Of course, the Li family is not a real scholarly family. He wanted to praise the fine traditions of the old Li family before, but unfortunately when the words came to his lips, he found that it was inappropriate.

In addition to when I first met Li Kui, Li Kui also looked like a scholar when he was rushing for the exam. Wait until this guy wins the jinshi, and the palace test is great-haired...... The original form was revealed. In addition, the old Li family has nothing to do with the scholarly family at all. Not even the head of the family can be called a good person. On the contrary, it is Li Kui on the battlefield who is where the Li family gallops.

But Da Song is too unfriendly to Jiangmen.

If Li Kui really takes refuge in Jiangmen, he is afraid that he will be bullied to death by scholars for the rest of his life.

The dumping between the same kind is the most terrible. Especially when the same kind finds out that there is an outlier among them, it will be as if it has been under a spell, and it will be completely ignored. Wang Shao had the support of Wang Anshi back then, but when he recovered Qingtang and returned to Beijing to join the Privy Council, he became the target of public criticism.

Wang Shao was also born as a Jinshi, and he is still a Jinshi and the first, so it can be said that he belongs to the most elite handful of scholars in the imperial examination.

Even so, Wang Shao still became a thorn in the side of all civil officials, a thorn in the flesh, and finally had to be framed and degraded.

Li Kui's situation is also not good, but fortunately, he is a small official.

That's right, it's the official small.

He is not like Wang Shao, who is the leader who coordinates the opening of the Xihe River. Nominally commanding the battle was An Tao, and he was not easy to deal with. Be patient when you should endure it, if you are really in a hurry, it is impossible to pull Zhang Bian to die with it, but it is very promising to pull Cai Bian to die. Therefore, in the face of An Tao, after the law-changing faction found out that this coward, there was no follow-up.

But Li Kui is different.

Li Kui's foundation is incomparable with An Tao, who has been in charge of the Yuan for more than ten years. It can be said that many of the imperial histories in the court are his former subordinates and cronies. If the Changers launch an impeachment, don't let An Tao know, once he finds out who his opponent is, he is not without the means to fight back, and it is even more violent.

Li Kui, who is in great trouble, will definitely not tolerate Pang Hongxia as much as he did at the beginning, and even disgusted it.

Of course, these are just Pang Wanchun's own thoughts.

Three days after the wedding.

It is also the day when the hostess returns to peace.

In the Great Song Dynasty, there is also a saying called Baimen. That is, the son-in-law and daughter went to the father-in-law's house with gifts on the third day of marriage to report the results...... No, it won't be so fast, the main thing is to go to the father-in-law's house to eat and drink, which is considered to be a recognition of the door. Unlike Li Kui and Liu Baosheng, who have known each other for several years, and the two are still very familiar. Many sons-in-law have not been able to see their father-in-law until the day they got married.

Waiting until the day of the visit, it was the first time Weng and his son-in-law met, and he had the opportunity to toast his father-in-law.

This is a etiquette for the two families to get to know and be familiar with.

Generally, the son-in-law will live in the father-in-law's house for a period of time, unless the daughter marries far away, or the son-in-law is an official and cannot leave the official jurisdiction. In Tokyo, this rule has been weakened. Fortunately, Li Kui is now an official to be elected, and as long as the official position is not confirmed for a day, he will not be able to go to the government for a day.

On this day, the Liu family cleaned the front and back yards and sorted out the yards before their daughter's marriage, so that their son-in-law and daughter could live.

Even Liu Baosheng has no intention of leaving home these days.

When Li Kui entered Liu's house with gifts, the concierge's subordinates, and even the account housekeeper respectfully shouted: "Uncle!" ”

Ruan Xiaoqi took out a handful of silver melon seeds from the money box beside him, which was regarded as a reward.

"Father-in-law, please have tea!"

"Good boy!"

"Mother-in-law, please have tea!"

"Good boy!"

was called a good boy twice in a row, Li Kui's old face was a little unbearable, and he couldn't help but show a little bit of heat. Fortunately, Liu Baosheng did not continue to praise him, but said to Li Kui: "Renjie, come with me." ”

When he came to Liu's study, Li Kui was a little surprised. It's not that there is any mystery in the study of the old Liu family, but that Liu Baosheng actually put a lot of books in the study. The shelves were piled up all around, and there were hundreds, thousands of copies, to say the least.

But he remembered that when he was in Yizhou before, Liu Baosheng kept a bow and arrow and a big knife in his study. There are also books, but they are just some battle map books for marching and fighting, just a few on that side. And his old man doesn't know how to fight, and the only book in the study that is useful to him may be the imperial calendar.

Li Kui's tea ordering skills are not very good, but Liu Baosheng is not the kind of elegant person with tricky tastes.

He took the tea cup from his son-in-law, held it in his hand to keep warm, and asked, "Renjie, do you hear a bad rumor?" ”

"Nope!"

Li Kuixin said: He doesn't plan to enter the court in the near future, and he will take advantage of his marriage to rest for at least three or five months, so as to calm down the side effects of his recovery of Qingtang. I didn't expect that there would be people who didn't open their eyes to fight against him. Suddenly unhappy: "Father-in-law, who wants to impeach me?" ”

"Nope. Nothing. Liu Baosheng hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It is the Zhongshu Sheren Suofeng, he was impeached by the imperial historian Lu Minshi, saying that he bought a mansion of 20,000 yuan in the inner city. It's just a fictitious thing, and it is said that he colluded with Qingtang Toast to go up. Now Lian Zhang Xiang is also very angry, doesn't this make it clear that he is not happy? ”

After speaking, Liu Baosheng saw that Li Kui didn't speak, and tried to ask: "Renjie, do you say that Scholar Antao will start to fight back against Zhang Xiang, but in this way, won't you be implicated?" ”

This is true, if something goes wrong with Suofeng.

Then even with Li Kui, Tong Guan, and even Chong Jianzhong, there will be problems. Even An Tao, who had not resigned as the commander of the Western Army at that time, would be involved, thinking of this, Li Kui shook his head and said: "It can't be an An University scholar, doing this will cause endless trouble for him." ”

After all, it is an official who has made meritorious contributions together, and if one is suppressed, a large group of people will be involved. Such a result is not in the interests of An Tao, and besides, An Tao will not be so simple. Otherwise, what would he use to fight with Zhang?

It can be seen that some people want to fish in troubled waters.

But Li Kui glanced at Liu Baosheng with a puzzled face. His father-in-law, others don't know, can he still not know? When will you care about national affairs?

Everyone knows that Liu Baosheng is just a good person, and his father is noble with his daughter, that's all.

As for Liu Baosheng being worried about Li Kui, it is even more impossible to come to him with news to ask him. Don't forget, Li Kui is a civil official, with 600 classmates in the same department, although most of them don't interact, but there are still a few people in the capital who have a relationship with him. A little happened in the court, and the speed at which he got the news was not much slower than Liu Baosheng.

What's more, after Li Kui's wedding, he was already a close confidant of the emperor to protect.

At this time, no one will be so stupid to engage in Li Kui. Li Kui smiled and said, "Father-in-law, you don't have to worry, even if the court is on fire now, it won't burn me." "His threat is more about whether he will be targeted in the future officialdom, rather than now.

The only possibility is that Liu Baosheng took the opportunity to care about Li Kui and had some other intentions. Sure enough, after Liu Baosheng heard Li Kui's explanation, he was relieved: "The old man has always been very relieved to do things. It's just that after the fifth child got married, the family was a lot colder, and there was no popularity, and the family business was good, but it looked a little lonely and decadent. ”

"Father-in-law, if you have something to say, just say it!"

Li Kui twitched the corners of his mouth, he had already guessed Liu Baosheng's thoughts. What a lonely home! My daughter is not around, there is a lack of warmth at home, etc., so it's okay to lie to others.

However, the Taishi Mansion is not deserted, but very lively.

The third generation of grandchildren all live in the Taishi Mansion, do you dare to say that it is lonely?

Besides, since Taishi Liu's outer room gave birth to a son, Liu Baosheng doesn't often live at home. Mrs. Han was afraid of face, and she didn't say anything to let Liu Baosheng take her son back to the house, which made the old man sad. After thinking about it, I can only ask my son-in-law to discuss, but I can't say it clearly.

A few words of concern first, it's always true.

At least that's what Liu Baosheng thought in his heart, and then he stared at Li Kui with blank eyes.

Taishi is also tired, there are many people around him who can come up with ideas, but there is no one who can come up with reliable ideas before. Now that Li Kui is his Liu family's son-in-law, Liu Baosheng can finally let Li Kui consult on family affairs.

Li Kui groaned, and he was also embarrassed. If you call your father-in-law's mind, you will probably offend your mother-in-law. But if Liu Baosheng is not allowed to take his son home, I am afraid that the Taishi Mansion family will continue to make trouble.

And he may have to be an official in the capital in the next few years, anyway, if the Taishi and the Taishi's wife have a conflict, it won't alarm the emperor's son-in-law, right?

In the end, it has to fall on your own head in the end.

After thinking about it, he had to help Liu Baosheng take his brother-in-law home who had not met, otherwise the old man's heart would be hanging, and he would be dragged down after him.

Li Kui thought about it and thought of a way, but where is his mother-in-law?

Liu Baosheng is also a transparent person, and immediately said: "As long as you let Hao'er recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, you will be the great benefactor of my Liu family." ”

"Father-in-law, you should be a birthday!"

"Shou?"

Liu Baosheng's face was full of puzzlement, he wanted to take his son home, what does it have to do with Shou? Full of expectations, but with such a bad idea, Liu Baosheng was disappointed, and his eyes when he looked at Li Kui were also a lot disappointed. I thought it was a reliable one, but I didn't expect it to be inferior to the eldest son-in-law and the second son-in-law, and others at least couldn't think of a way, and they would comfort him.

But what about Li Kui?

Obviously, he recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, but suddenly hit him with a rod.

Liu Baosheng was disappointed: "It's easy to do longevity, but can you do it?" Besides, the old man still has a few months before his birthday, isn't he putting the cart before the horse? ”

Li Kui smiled and said, "Father-in-law, I mean to let you do it." ”

"Is it useful to do a big job?" As for Liu Baosheng's identity now, if he really has a birthday and sends out invitations, the officials in the capital, even Zhang Dan, will send his son to congratulate him. But this ...... It still doesn't help the young son to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors!

Li Kui was also drunk, and when he met a father-in-law who was too sincere, he had no choice but to explain to Liu Baosheng word by word: "It's a big deal, and everyone who can be invited is invited." In addition, invite the Liu family to come, father-in-law, you should always have elders! ”

"That's there."

Liu Baosheng still didn't understand what medicine was sold in Li Kui's gourd.

Li Kui asked coldly: "Father-in-law, let me ask you, what do you do at the beginning of the birthday banquet?" ”

"Descendants congratulate the birthday ......" Suddenly, Liu Baosheng's eyes lit up, slapped his thigh, and suddenly said: "They were all daughters before, and the old man never thought about this joint, let alone wanted to hold a birthday banquet." Can ...... now It must be done in a big way. As long as the clan elder comes, my son will be able to enter the family tree. As long as the toast is passed, Hao'er will be able to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. It will not be that your mother-in-law will not spit at this time, and she will be the enemy of the whole world. ”

After speaking, Liu Baosheng actually suppressed his ecstasy and giggled like an old hen......

Bianliang East Water Gate, the Wuzhang River flows into Tokyo from here.

Outside the water gate, Liu Tang looked at the majestic city wall, his heart was full of unwillingness, and under Bai Sheng's urging, he boarded the boat late, and said with annoyance: "I will come back!" ”
