Chapter 133: The Thief's Heart Doesn't Die
The two of them were relieved to see that Master Li's face was a little better, and they were not as angry as they were just now, and then they opened their mouths to tell him about the Bai family's calico.
After the two of them finished talking about what happened in the teahouse today, Master Li fell silent and didn't speak for a long time.
In the past, he only thought that Meng Lianyi was a woman with long hair and short knowledge, and he didn't think she was a threat.
But this series of things that happened today made him look at Meng Lianyi with admiration.
This woman looked like she had a plan in mind.
And according to the information she found, she can know that the recent movements of the Bai family are all up to this woman alone.
Just a woman has such a means, it seems that this person should not be underestimated.
Suddenly, the idea of letting Meng Lianyi be his son's concubine came to him again.
Although according to the news I heard, the other party is a married woman, but so what?
Now the government allows women to reconcile and leave.
That woman is so capable, and she is also ambitious.
No matter how much she does now, she is just doing things for the Bai family, and in the final analysis, she is just making a wedding dress for her.
If she allowed her to marry her son, and promised that after she gave birth to a son, she would let her son inherit the family business, she could not be tempted.
Thinking like this, Master Li's eyes lit up suddenly.
After waiting for Qi Qiuquan and Xu Yuan to leave, he instructed the servant: "Come on, go and call that unfilial son for me." ”
When the servants heard this, they immediately went down and called for men.
Without a moment's effort, Li Chengjiang walked towards Master Li's study under the leadership of the housekeeper.
Yesterday, Li Chengjiang had a hangover all night because he had drunk all night.
As soon as I got up this morning, I heard my father tell me to go to the study, and I was also nervous, and I began to think about whether I accidentally said something wrong when I was drinking yesterday.
With a nervous mood, I finally arrived at the door of the study.
Li Chengjiang cautiously pushed the door and walked in.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered the door, I saw my father in front of the bookcase, with a cold face and a word.
It's as if he's thinking about something important.
Seeing him, Li Chengjiang was stunned.
Cautiously asked, "Dad, do you have anything to say when you called your son over?" ”
Master Li frowned and beckoned to him.
waited until Li Chengjiang approached, and then he said unhappily: "You went to drink again last night?" ”
Li Chengjiang touched his nose with some weakness: "Don't, it's just a little gathering with a few brothers." ”
originally thought that his father would definitely be angry after listening to him, but this time the other party was not angry, but waved his hand impatiently, and then said: "Okay, I called you over today because I want to talk to you about something else." ”
Li Chengjiang chuckled in his heart.
My own father is like this, could it be that he got into trouble last night?
It's just that he didn't remember what he said after he got drunk yesterday.
He was very apprehensive in his heart, and after secretly glancing at his father, he said cautiously: "Dad, what else do you have to say?" ”
Hearing this, Master Li glared at his son impatiently and said, "I heard you say yesterday that you want to take Meng Lianyi as a concubine, but is it true?" ”
Hearing Master Li mention this incident, Li Chengjiang, who had only been beaten by Meng Lianyi, felt his scalp tingle on the spot.
Hurriedly shook his head: "No, I'm just drunk and talking casually, so I don't want to marry Meng Lianyi." ”
Originally, he felt that Meng Lianyi's personality was different from ordinary women, and he wanted to take Meng Lianyi into the room.
But when he saw the blue nose and swollen face of the people Meng Lianyi sent over, these thoughts had long since disappeared.
He would never marry a woman like Meng Lianyi if he died.
When Master Li saw that his son refused so simply, there was a touch of anger in his eyes on the spot.
"That's not what you said yesterday."
"Yesterday, my son was drunk and talking nonsense, Meng Lianyi's woman is so powerful, I don't want to include this kind of woman in the room and block myself." Li Chengjiang frowned in disgust.
Master Li was stunned for a moment, and his expression was a little annoyed: "How can you do things like this." ”
"Dad, what do you mean by this, is it possible that you still want me to marry that female Shura. A country woman, where is she worthy of this son. Li Chengjiang scoffed.
Master Li didn't speak, it seemed that he acquiesced.
Li Chengjiang jumped up on the spot in surprise.
"What do you mean, Dad?"
Master Li sighed and told everything that happened today.
After hearing what he said, Li Chengjiang's face turned ugly on the spot.
"What? This Meng Lianyi is really too arrogant, and she is doing this to make it clear that she wants to go against my Li family. ”
"That's right, it's against my Li family, but people have this ability to reduce the cost of cloth and increase the quality, so that those businessmen will naturally support Meng Lianyi if they are profitable, and if my Li family can't think of a solution, sooner or later it will be replaced by the Bai family." Master Li's tone was a little heavy.
This time, Li Chengjiang rarely calmed down, quietly listened to his father's analysis of the current situation, and then his face was pale, and his face was like ashes.
"How could this be! In this way, isn't our Li family in danger? Li Chengjiang said in disbelief.
The reason why he is living in Fan County now is because of his identity as the young master of the Li family.
If the Li family falls one day, then he will be nothing.
"Father, what are we going to do now?" Li Chengjiang asked anxiously.
Master Li sighed, and then told Li Chengjiang about the calico and the fact that Meng Lianyi sent people to let these cloth merchants sign a contract and let them break with the Li family.
Although Li Chengjiang is now a gentleman, he also has basic brains.
He knew that if this agreement was really signed, his cloth village would be isolated from the cloth market in the entire Fan County.
At that time, if the cost of their own cloth cannot be reduced for a long time, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Fan County in the future, and the people will definitely not want to buy the same thing, but the price is more expensive.
Over time, business has been lost, and his own cloth village can no longer be opened.
Thinking of this, Li Chengjiang angrily slapped the table and stood up: "This Meng Lianyi is so vicious, he actually killed our family." ”
"Who said it wasn't, that's why my father came to you to talk about marrying a wife."
When Master Li said this, he raised his chin and looked at Li Chengjiang thoughtfully.
Li Chengjiang was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, and hurriedly said: "What does my father mean is that as long as I marry Meng Lianyi, then whether it is a loom or a calico method, it will be my Li family?" ”
