Chapter 264: Lady Yu
Of course, there are also reasons why Liu Keyu helped.
No matter what Li Hong wants to do in the Liu family, Liu Keyu will support him.
With the support of Concubine Liu Gui in the palace, many elders of the Liu family did not know that half of Liu Jia's soldiers in Li Hong's hands were managed by Liu Keyu.
In fact, Li Hong's power in the Liu family, Liu Keyu has to control more than half!
Because of this, Li Hong and Liu Keyu are more harmonious, and Li Hong also cares more about Liu Keyu's thoughts.
Rao is Li Hong's chest was full of anger, and he also forced himself to suppress it at this time.
He got up and followed the butler to the backyard.
Entering the backyard, it is like arriving in another world, and the layout of the whole backyard is completely different from the front yard furnishings with strong ethnic style.
The backyard of the Liu family is completely built in accordance with the Jiangnan garden, and the rockery promenade and pavilion seem to be copied from the Jiangnan garden.
This is not because Liu Keyu likes buildings such as Jiangnan gardens, but because the family of the former husband he married was built in this way.
When she returned to Liu's house, she probably went to the backyard of the Liu family's mansion after marriage, and the backyard of the Liu family's mansion became like this.
As soon as he entered the backyard, Li Hong's brows couldn't help frowning.
But soon he hid the unhappiness in his eyes.
When he entered the main courtyard, Li Hong even had a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.
Before he entered the door, he said urgently: "Madame is looking for me, but is there an urgent matter?" ”
After entering the flower hall, I turned around a screen and saw a woman wearing a skirt that Jiangnan women like to wear sitting on the main seat.
The woman was dressed in rich purple, wearing the step of the Ruyi vase on her head, and on her wrist was a pair of rare jade jade bracelets.
It's just that no matter how beautiful the dress is, it can't hide the white hair on the sideburns.
When the woman raised her head, she was even older, with crow's feet at the end of her eyes and thick nasolabial folds, and she was already an old woman with gray hair.
Compared with Li Hong, who is in the prime of life, it seems that Li Hong is the son of this woman.
Li Hong saw the woman raise her head to look at him, he walked to the woman's side with a smile in two steps, stretched out his arms and hugged the woman, "Ke Yu, what are you looking for me?" ”
If it weren't for the maid serving in the room, who would have been accustomed to the style of this old wife and young husband, I am afraid that I would have been shocked by the scene in front of me.
The maids lowered their heads, not daring to look at the lady and the master at this moment.
Liu Keyu stretched out his hand and poked Li Hong's forehead, and said coquettishly: "I can only look for you if I have something, and I can't look for you if I have nothing to do?" ”
If Liu Keyu's person and voice were not so old, this might be an eye-catching picture.
Now this picture makes people feel extremely weird when they look at it.
Li Hong actually kissed Liu Keyu twice on his face and neck, which made Liu Keyu laugh.
After making a fuss for a while, Liu Keyu pushed Li Hong away and told the maids to go out to prepare lunch, and then asked Li Hong, "What's the matter, as soon as I came back, I was so angry, I heard that the front yard and the hall were smashed by you." ”
Li Hong knew that Liu Keyu couldn't hide the things in the Liu family's mansion, and half of the Liu family soldiers he brought out were Liu Keyu's manpower, and what happened couldn't be hidden from Liu Keyu.
He said truthfully: "The nephew I brought back was suddenly killed in the ranks, and it was the elder's side who attacked him. Madam, you also know that my family has such a nephew, if I can take southern Xinjiang, I am still ready to train my nephew, and now there is no hope at all. ”
Liu Keyu twisted his eyebrows, "Did the elders really do it?" ”
Li Hong nodded, "Madame doesn't believe it, you can ask the clansmen who went with you, they won't hide it." ”
"I will go to find out the real situation, and if the truth is true, I will not spare the elders."
"Also, what's going on with the Metropolitan Protectorate?" As he spoke, Liu Keyu took out a letter from his sleeve and pushed it in front of Li Hong.
"This letter was written by Peng Duhu, the Protector of Quang Nam, and it was sent this morning."
Li Hong was startled, and hurriedly opened the envelope, took out the letter paper, and looked at it with ten lines at a glance.
The more he looked at it, the tighter his hands were clenched, and if he hadn't taken care of Liu Keyu by his side, he would have smashed his fist on the small table.
Peng Duhu actually asked the Liu family to compensate Duhu Mansion with 10,000 taels of silver and 5,000 loads of good rice! How dare he open this mouth!
There is a drought in Guangnan this year, and the entire Liu family can't get the extra 5,000 quintals of rice!
Obviously, Liu Keyu had already read the letter first, and she wrinkled her brows and said unhappily: "We have always been well water and not river water with the Duhu Mansion, how did you provoke the Duhu Mansion and let them open their mouths like lions." ”
Li Hong said angrily: "Madam, where did I provoke the Duhufu, when we attacked the southern Xinjiang, the Duhufu sent people to intervene, helped the people of southern Xinjiang, and ambushed us when we retreated!" Seeing that southern Xinjiang was about to fall into our hands, they suddenly got involved and made the situation change abruptly! ”
Liu Keyu didn't expect things to be like this.
She looked at Li Hong in surprise, and seeing that Li Hong's expression was not adulterated, she clenched her fists, gritted her teeth and said, "Duhufu is just our Liu family is a soft persimmon!" ”
While the two were talking, Liu Keyu's confidant and grandmother said outside the door: "Toast, madam, the housekeeper has something to report." ”
Liu Keyu glanced at her husband and said, "Let him in." ”
After a while, a smartly dressed grandmother brought the housekeeper to Liu Keyu and Li Hong.
Li Hong asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The housekeeper hurriedly said: "Toast, madam, it's not good, the people of the Mountain Clan and the Jinshui Clan said that Toast won't give food, so they're all gone!" ”
Li Hong's face sank, "Are they really gone like this?" But tell them that if they just leave, there will be no food! ”
"The old slaves have said it, but they are still gone!"
"What the hell is going on, their clan has no food, and going back is a dead end, these people are really not afraid of death?"
The housekeeper smiled bitterly, "The old slave privately made food for people to inquire, and only then did they know that these people said that there was food in the clan, and they would not starve to death when they went back." The people of the two clans left at once, and the rest of the other clans were ready to move in an instant, I'm afraid that they won't be able to keep it if they hang like this, Tusi, should we give them some food first......"
Do the Mountain Tribes and the Jinshui Tribes have food?
Thinking that the Tusi Luoshan of the Mountain Clan was captured by the Hemly, and the Mountain Clan was close to the Jinshui Tribe, if the two tribes really had food, I am afraid that they would get it from the Hemly.
Southern Xinjiang has been besieged by them for half a year, and it is as short of food as Guangnan, where will they have food for the mountain tribe and the Jinshui tribe.
If there is only one possibility, it is that the Prince Regent's Protectorate gave it to them privately!
In that case, everything makes sense!
gave grain to southern Xinjiang, and now asks them for rice from the Liu family, when they are really wronged!
Liu Keyu's brain was no slower than Li Hong's, and he reacted instantly.
Li Hong and Liu Keyu glanced at each other, Liu Keyu nodded, and Li Hong said: "Bring some grain and go around in front of other clans, just let them see the grain, don't send them a grain of grain." ”
The housekeeper listened to Toast's words and hesitated: "Toast, will this be counterproductive?" ”
"We don't have much food, do you want to give them your food?"
"The old slave doesn't dare, the old slave will do it!"
The housekeeper quickly left the inner courtyard.
Liu Keyu said: "It seems that it will not work if you don't touch the Duhu Mansion!" ”
Li Hong bowed his head in agreement, and he hugged Mrs. Yu again, "Madam, I am really tired from this expedition, and you also feel sorry for your husband's old bones, why don't you leave this matter to the elders to do it?" ”
Liu Keyu glanced at Li Hong, "What?" Don't want to fight the elders anymore? ”
Li Hong said gently: "With Mrs. here, I can still suffer, and if I have Mrs., I will have mine!" If Madame doesn't trust me one day, all the things I have given me can be returned to Madame at once! ”
