Chapter 5 Encounters
In the Sifang Inn, a small town with bright lights, people are hurrying to the direction of home after a day's work. At the entrance of the inn www.biquge.info there was a man and a woman standing. The man is tall and straight, with square eyebrows and square eyes, and his eyes show a trace of domineering and majesty when he looks around, which may be the nobility cultivated by the rich and noble people who have lived in the rich and noble for a long time, and there is a convincing charm between Gu Pan and his feet, but when he looks at the woman next to him, it becomes tender. "Lanshan, it's not good for us to be like this. After all, they are your parents. The woman next to her whispered softly to the man. "Huilan, don't say it, as long as they don't agree to me marrying you, I won't recognize them!" It turned out that they were Li Lanshan and his lover. "But after all, they are your biological parents, raising you for many years, and you ...... for me" "Don't say it! As I said, as long as they don't agree, they won't be my parents anymore." I'll go back with you, and we'll take care of grandma and grandpa together. It turned out that the woman named Huilan still had relatives at home, Huilan was raised by her grandparents since she was a child, and her biological parents abandoned her for some reason. This also developed her precocious character, and she took on the burden of taking care of her family life too early, and she was calm and diligent. At the same time, maybe she didn't have her parents since she was a child, which made her feel very guilty for Li Lanshan, who had the love of her parents, who insisted on threatening such a severed relationship, regardless of her elderly parents, after all, it was because of herself that Ailang and his family had a quarrel. Thinking of this, Hui Lan's eyes turned red again.
In the middle of the night, the streets are brightly lit, and pedestrians are nowhere to be seen. A horse-drawn carriage came up the empty street. There was a faint voice in the carriage, "Why do you think he is still alive? Didn't you send someone to get rid of him then? How can he be alive now?" A woman's voice came from the carriage, full of viciousness. "Well, maybe he shouldn't have died, but the man who was sent at that time came back and brought back his token, and I thought I would never see him again. I didn't expect him to appear again after three years!" A man's hoarse voice came out, like a knife on a whetstone in the dark night, making people shudder. "What should we do then? He is back, is it in vain that our years of hard work have been in vain!? I am not reconciled!!" A low roar sounded in the carriage, on which a man dressed in silk and a golden hairpin headdress flashed in the dark night, and under a pair of slender willow eyebrows under the high bun was a pair of slender red phoenix eyes, which were actually resentful at this time. Like a vicious wolf who is addicted to people, the woman is in her thirties, and the years have not left many traces on her face. It can still be seen that she was a beauty when she was young. "Or we'll kill him again, he died last time. I won't be able to escape this time. "Shut up!" the man shouted. The woman was so frightened by this shout that she swallowed half of the next sentence in her stomach. The man was dressed in brocade, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a pair of big eyes that were full of energy. It's just that at this time, it looks fierce, and the man is stroking his beard and lining up heavily on the seat of the car. With a snap, he looked at the gorgeously dressed woman opposite. "How many times have I told you not to say these words, especially outside!" the man growled, pointing at the woman. The body trembled, "Got it!" With a trembling voice, he didn't dare to look directly at the face of the man opposite, obviously very afraid of the man. "But just let him go, and watch him take everything from us, will all our years of hard work be in vain?!" the woman said, looking directly into the man's eyes. "My stuff is always mine, and no one can stop me from what I want to get. Even if he comes back, it won't help, and I'll let him watch me take everything that belongs to him. The man's whetstone-like voice echoed through the carriage. It was as if the air in the carriage had dropped all of a sudden, and the woman in the car also shivered!
The car drove into a tall gatehouse with a plaque on which the word Li Fu was written. There were two old men in the main hall of the Li Mansion, and they thought that the gray-haired old woman was sitting at the table in the hall crying, telling the same gray-haired Weng some kind of grievance. Li Shuang, who got out of the car, walked under the eaves of the porch, and the voices of two old men talking came from his ears.
"This kid, there has been no news for three years, and we all think that something has happened to him. I didn't expect him to be alive, and my poor child didn't know how much he had suffered outside. Today I came back for the sake of a poor woman to cut off relations with his mother, what kind of evil has our family done!" said the old woman and began to weep. "Don't cry, didn't he come back dead? As long as he comes back, but he actually broke off relations with me for a woman who wanted to run away from home, this son of a scumbag is really bold. It's all because you usually spoil him. The old man was angry and sighed helplessly, this child's donkey temper is the same as his own.
Hearing this, the man who had been standing outside the door for a while took a diagonal step and appeared in front of the hall, "Uncle, I heard that Cousin Lanshan has come back to visit him. What?" Pretending to see the expressions of the two old men just now, Li Meng asked in surprise, "Didn't Cousin Lanshan come back, why are your uncles and aunts so sad?" Li Yugang sighed and said, "This unfilial son, there has been no news for three years, and now he suddenly comes back and says that he wants to marry a woman, your uncle and I disagree, this woman is from a poor background, and has no upbringing. How can I be worthy of my Li family's future home, and how can the Li family's Wang clan, who will be in charge of the Li family in the future, tolerate others to take this as a disease! At this point, the rich man's face gritted his teeth angrily, and he let out a long sigh of anger. The whole person sat motionless in the chair as if he was old. "Cousin Lanshan, why is this, doesn't he know that his uncle and aunt have broken their hearts for him for three years, I don't know how many days and nights they wake up in the middle of the night, worrying about his safety, and I don't know how many pillows are wet with tears. He didn't recognize the second elder for the sake of a woman, what a ...... I don't understand anything!" Li Meng heard Li Yugang's story, and his eyes lit up. God help me! I was going to design you slowly, but I didn't expect you to know that you were digging your own grave. I can't blame me. Thinking of this, Li Meng restrained the excitement in his eyes, raised his head to look at the old woman and said, "Uncle don't be sad, since my cousin and cousin are back, then we are persuading him." He will definitely understand the painstaking efforts of his aunt and uncle, and he will also understand his aunt's care and love for him. I'll go and persuade him tomorrow, and my cousin will understand if he's reasonable. The old woman wiped her tears and looked at Li Meng and said, "Xiao Meng, you must persuade Lan Shan, since you two grew up together, he will definitely listen to you." ”
Walking out of the hall and walking towards the backyard, Li Meng thought as he walked, "I didn't expect mine, good cousin, you made such a big deal as soon as you came back, you are forcing me to ...... you No wonder my cousin, since my cousin doesn't want such a big family business, then my cousin will keep it for you."
In the Sifang Inn, the lights flickered in the window room, and Li Meng and Li Lanshan stood at the table, "Cousin, you are finally back." Do you know? In the past three years that you have been absent, I have searched for your brother in many ways, and there is no trace of you, and sometimes I still think of the scene when we were children in my dreams. Now I'm finally back. Li Meng said with tears in his eyes, and he fell down. Stretched out his hand to grab Li Lanshan's hands and said excitedly, "Uncle and aunt also wash their faces with tears all day long, looking forward to your return every day, the hair of the second elder is gray" Wiping his eyes, Li Lanshan looked at Huilan, who was bringing hot tea to the side, and was about to pour it for the two, and said, "This is my brother and sister Huilan, she is really gentle and virtuous." and cousin, you are also a very good match. Huilan blushed when she heard this, and said to Li Meng shyly: "My cousin is too famous, and Huilan's appearance of Puliu can't stand such praise from my cousin." Ying Ying said to Li Mengna, "Cousin, you and Lanshan talk slowly, I'll go make some tea for you." With that, he picked up the teapot and turned around and exited the door. Hearing that the door was closed, Li Meng turned his head to look at Li Lanshan, only to see Li Lanshan sitting at the table with a sad brow at this time, staring at the teacup motionless in a daze, probably remembering something, with tears in his eyes. Li Meng on the side saw her like this, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he quickly hid it. asked with concern, "Cousin, what are you going to do, do you really cut off relations with your uncle?" Li Lanshan raised his head and held back the tears that fell, and said in a low and hoarse tone, "I am just an expedient measure, and I am just forcing my father and mother to agree to Huilan to enter the door." "But you don't know your uncle's temper, if you do this, maybe your uncle's temper will not agree, it's counterproductive, so what should you do?" Li Meng said earnestly, "You really don't think about it this way, hey! When you come back, you can slowly consider using methods to impress the hearts of the second elders, so that they can slowly accept that Huilan is the best policy, and it is really inappropriate for you to give your uncle this dose of fierce medicine as soon as you come back." Li Meng patted Li Lanshan on the shoulder and complained a little, "You don't want to think about how old your uncle is, it would have been a great joy for you to come back, but how did you make them bear it when you do this? Li Meng glared at Li Lanshan, who was holding his head in his hands and retreating helplessly, and shouted. Li Lanshan grabbed his head in pain, shook his head, and roared in pain: "I don't know!! I don't want to do this, but it's impossible for me to give up Huilan, no matter what, I won't leave Huilan!" Raising his head, Li Lanshan looked at Li Mengdao with a pair of tiger eyes. "Cousin, help me, I know you must have a way to solve the problem of making my father accept Huilan, right? Li Lanshan looked at Li Meng and said, looking at his cousin Li Meng expectantly, hoping to get help. Li Meng raised his eyes and looked at this cousin, since he was a child, he had been better than himself, his family conditions were better than himself, he was more handsome than himself, he was a champion since he was a child, and his father also said that he was better than himself, but now he was not begging himself to help him! Thinking about this proudly, he remained silent on the surface. Embarrassed, he frowned and said, "Is this a solution?" "Cousin, do you really have a way?" I just said cousin, you must have a way! Tell me what it is?!" Li Lanshan excitedly grabbed Li Meng's arm and shook it vigorously, eagerly interrupting Li Meng, "Cousin, don't get excited, listen to me." It's not like there's no way. You also know that you had an accident when you were about to take the top prize to participate in the imperial examination, and you lost contact with your family. Now that you're back, why don't you continue to take this year's imperial examinations. When you are the champion in high school, your uncle will definitely be happy, and when you exchange your status and honor for Huilan to enter the house, the second elder will definitely agree. Li Lanshan patted his thigh and said, "Okay, it's !! like this."
Li Lanshan stopped talking, and Zihua, who was listening carefully with his chin in his hands, asked eagerly, "What happened later? Is it that after you were in high school, Huilan married you." Li Lanshan heard Zihua ask, shook his head and smiled bitterly. "It's not that simple. After I went to high school, I went home. Directly to my parents said to take Hui Lan as a wife, my parents said that Hui Lan was dead, originally I placed Hui Lan in Li Meng's house during the scientific expedition, I rushed to Li Meng's house to ask him what happened, he told me that Hui Lan was fine, but after learning that my parents went to her after high school and said that she was going to marry the right lady after high school, Hui Lan was not worthy of herself, and her parents begged her to stop pestering me. Hui Lan agreed. But that night it was ...... I was so angry that I directly announced in public that I had severed ties with my parents. My parents fell ill one after another when they were old, and they never got up again. I was disheartened and left the sad place. ”
Zihua was curious, and asked, "Uncle Li, then you just left and didn't come back, but how did you get here?" Li Lanshan was silent, he also wanted to know why he came here, and he had thousands of doubts in his heart to seek answers, but who did he ask for questions? Everyone feels that their idea is right and that it works. And what I got was not what I imagined. Thinking about these messes, I gradually fell into my mind, "Uncle, are you okay?!" "Ah! I'm fine, but I just thought of some of the past and fell into my memories. There's something I don't understand. Looking at Xiao Zihua's childish little face and looking at himself suspiciously, Li Lanshan made up his mind to give this child hope, just like he was to be a single-minded person when he just went on a study tour. "Zihua, do you want to go out?" Li Lanshan looked at him and asked, "Of course I want to go out, I miss my parents." There is also my daughter-in-law, as well as Dongdong, Daxiong, and Kangkang. "Eh......" heard Zihua say that he missed his daughter-in-law, but this kid actually had a wife. I really can't see it. Are young people nowadays so precocious?! Hehe, it must be a child's play. "As long as you listen to your uncle, he will definitely have a way to get you out. Li Lanshan swore and looked at Zihua with his beard. pretending to be a master, you just need to take a feather fan to pretend to be Zhuge Liang. Of course, it must be okay for him to deceive children like this. "I'll listen to my uncle for everything!"
How to face the next few days is how Li Lanshan should arrange for Zihua, this kid. If there is no hope, you can give yourself a goal that you can never accomplish, and it is right for people to be motivated. But it's like a train that doesn't pull goods, it can only go according to the prescribed route, and if there is no achievement, everything is just predestined.
