Respectfully

Li Qingchang looked at Li Jinyan viciously with a livid face. Is this still his soft-spoken nephew?On the contrary, he looked like his second brother Li Qinglong when he was a teenager.

Thinking of Li Qinglong, Li Qingchang felt resentment again.Why can Li Qinglong be in charge of the Li family's business, and why can Li Qinglong be appreciated by the Southern President?He, Li Qingchang, is the eldest son of the Li family!He thinks that his talent and ability are not inferior to that short-lived ghost Li Qinglong, isn't it because Li Qinglong's mother is the old man's wife?

However, even if Li Qinglong won the respect of the old man and the appreciation of the Southern President, so what?He died in his early thirties, his son, the property he left behind, isn't he still at his mercy?

Looking at the second lady sitting on the chair with red eyes, Li Qingchang's eyes flashed with viciousness. As long as Zhao Fengyun is in Li's house, Li Jinyan can't escape from his palm.

Thinking of this, Li Qingchang's face was no longer so ugly.So what if this little bastard robbed him of a few words?Sooner or later he still has to bow his head to himself.

not to marry?

This is not what he said!

Li Qingchang was wrong, Li Jinyan's words made his liver ache, but it was not to entangle himself in the issue of his marriage, but just to give the second wife a sigh of relief.If it wasn't for the presence of Mrs. Li and the old lady, and considering that his illness has not healed quickly, he would not gain any advantage by doing it, so he would have just punched him.

Anyone who dares to bully him and his family will be beaten until he can't take care of himself. This is Li Sanshao's highest code of conduct in life.

"Be careful." Mrs. Li frowned when Li Jinyan knocked Li Qingchang speechless, and felt that it was shameful, "Even if your uncle did something wrong, he is your elder after all. How can you be so accommodating?" Your uncle talking?"

As soon as Mrs. Li's words came out, the eye circles of the second wife, Zhao Fengyun, turned red again.She has completely lost her heart to Mrs. Li, what is this?After Li Qingchang wanted to kill Qinglong, he bullied Erfang to such an extent that if he just said a few words, he would be charged with disrespecting his elders?

If it was Jincheng today, would the old man still say that?I'm afraid Li Qingchang was beaten to death long ago, right?

But Li Qingchang would only harm his brothers' sons, and his own, they were all treasures.The second lady wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and held Li Jinyan's hand tightly. She couldn't speak against her father-in-law, but it didn't mean she couldn't support her son.

"Yan'er, mother is useless, mother is sorry for your father who died early, mother can't keep you." The second lady choked up and said, then her expression became sharp, "Li Qingchang, you wait for me, it really drove me into a hurry, I, Zhao Fengyun Just take a rope and hang it on the beam of the Westinghouse, and let the whole Guanbei City see how capable the elder of the Li family is, forcing his brother's widow to death! Returning the director of the Finance Bureau is your big dream!"

As soon as the second lady spoke, the expressions of Li Qingchang and Mrs. Li became extremely ugly.Li Qingchang didn't expect the second wife to say such cruel words, but Mrs. Li was so angry that he clenched his crutches tightly. How could he say this to Qingchang?It was clearly threatening him!The second son's daughter-in-law was hanged in the eldest son's house. If word spreads, what do others think of the Li family?What do you think of Li Yun?

The Li family has a good reputation, otherwise they wouldn't have been selling homemade cloth at the cost of losing money. If something like this really happened, he would have no face to see his ancestors after he died!

Old Mrs. Li was so angry that his beard was shaking. The old lady didn't say a word when she saw her. She raised her handkerchief to block the sneer from the corner of her mouth.The second lady snorted coldly, if Li Qingchang dares to be the tenth day, she dares to be the fifteenth!What is the future, if she can't keep her son, what will she want!

"Brothers and sisters, you can't say this casually." The eldest lady stood beside Li Qingchang, seeing that both Li Qingchang and Mrs. Li were speechless by the second lady's anger, and the old lady didn't care, so she had to bite the bullet and say: "The matter is here. At this point, it is useless to talk about anything else, otherwise, our Li family will be against Marshal Lou, and our family will not be able to bear the consequences."

The second lady glared at the eldest lady, and was about to speak, but was held down by Li Jinyan, "Mother, don't be angry, you are angry with these things that are not human, and the price will drop."

Li Jinyan said nothing if he didn't speak, but when he opened his mouth, the lady was so angry that she fell on her back again.In Li Jinyan's eyes, she and the elder are not human anymore? !

"Auntie, am I right?"

"You little bastard! You have a mother but no father!"

After all, the eldest lady couldn't hold back her breath, and directly cursed out. Now, the expressions of the second lady and the old lady turned ashen. Even if they were careful to speak out, they were the only remaining males in the second room. How could Xu allow such insults?

Li Qingchang glanced at Mrs. Li, he thought it was okay for the eldest lady to scold Li Jinyan, but Li Jinyan is Li Jincheng's cousin, wouldn't this scolding hurt Jincheng and Jinxing too?Seeing Mrs. Li's gloomy face, Li Qingchang knew something was wrong, so he quickly grabbed the eldest lady.

The eldest lady wanted to continue scolding, but was stopped by Mr. Li, and her breath was stuck in her throat, neither up nor down, her face was flushed with anger.

Li Jinyan didn't care, he was scolded twice and he couldn't lose a piece of meat. He might have to thank the eldest lady. Now, the first room and the second room are completely torn apart.Even if Mrs. Li continued to favor the first room, the old lady was on the side of the second room. No matter what he said about Li Qingchang and Mrs. Xu, his words did not trouble others, but what about the eldest lady?Not only scolding him, but even his father and mother were implicated. Judging from the old lady who forced Mrs. Li to punish the sons and daughters of the eldest house, the old lady is shrewd. Whatever I do, the old lady has room to help.

Li Jinyan hooked the corners of his mouth, and was about to speak when another voice came from outside the door, "Yo, what's the matter? You can hear the voices in the parents' room from a long distance away. Sister-in-law's voice just now was really clear." , the voice of this lady housekeeper is really unusual."

Li Jinyan almost laughed out loud. This is probably his third aunt. The father of the third uncle and Li Jinyan is a compatriot of the same mother. The relationship has always been very good. The relationship between the third wife and the second wife is not bad. It's straightforward, and I don't like how the eldest lady pretends to be a deputy official all day long. The imperial court has long since disappeared. Who will she show her as a young lady?

Furthermore, even if the second wife's natal family is not visible, the elder brother of the third wife, Sun Qinghe, is the brother-in-law of the governor of the six southern provinces. With his own ability, he served in the army of the governor. Isn't it uncomfortable for Shi to act like a housekeeper in front of her?

Master Li San is ignorant and incompetent, he is a born dandy, but the third wife, Mrs. Sun, is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She has ruthless methods and has the support of her elder brother. Regardless of whether he can become the director of the Finance Bureau, Sun Qinghe will not let him go.

"Why didn't you talk? Didn't I become a saw-jawed gourd the moment I came?"

The girl opened the curtain, and the third lady hired Tingting to come in, first said hello to Mrs. Li and the old lady, then ignored Li Qingchang and the first lady, and went directly to the second lady, "Oh, sister-in-law, What's going on with you?" He took out a handkerchief and pressed the bruise on the second lady's head, then turned around and shouted: "Xifu, Tianfu, hurry up and invite the doctor, the second lady is injured like this, and there is no one Go call a doctor, they are all dead people! Could it be that the bullying second brother is gone, so you don’t treat my second sister-in-law as a human being?"

Standing aside, Li Jinyan finally felt the power of the third lady's indiscriminate firepower. This voice scolded everyone in the room.But it made people unable to find a mistake, glanced at the ugly faces of Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li, and Li Jinyan was secretly refreshed again.Sure enough, leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade, the third lady scolded, but the father and son did not make a sound, the eldest lady shrank her neck even more, if it was replaced by the second lady, Old Master Li would definitely have a big hat off again.

Touching his nose and looking at the wound on the second lady's head, Li Jinyan also felt guilty for a while. He was so busy competing with Li Qingchang that he ignored the wound on the second lady's head. It was indeed his fault.

"Third aunt, this is my fault." Li Jinyan took the initiative to admit his mistake, which surprised everyone in the room. Everyone knew how the second lady was injured. Li Jinyan's move was really strange .

Li Qingchang and the eldest lady had a new understanding of Li Jinyan, the couple were both thinking in their hearts, this little bastard is going to do something wrong again, right?

"You?" The third lady patted Li Jinyan's shoulder with a smile, "Good boy, Third Aunt knows what's going on. Those shameless people who turn their hearts into shame will be punished sooner or later."

As he said, he called the girl, "Help the second lady back, and when the doctor comes, show me carefully. I have good medicinal materials, which were given by the wife of the governor of the Song Dynasty. I will ask the girl to pick them up later, and have a look." You two, how skinny are you? Don't worry, even if Qingyun doesn't live up to it, he is the second brother's direct brother."

The third lady spoke plainly, Mrs. Li has always had nothing to do with this third daughter-in-law, the old lady was happy to see the old man and Mrs. Li suffer, and she didn't speak. Only Li Qingchang and his wife stood there in embarrassment, unable to say a word.Li Qingchang didn't expect that the third room would stand up for the second room. Even if he knew that the third room had a good relationship with the second room, it would be a matter of offending Marshal Lou.

"Father, mother, I'll take my sister-in-law to go first. I'd like to say that I will go with my aunt. Your third uncle brought back a Western Harba a few days ago. He will roll around and make fun of it. Go play with your aunt."

Li Jinyan was being pulled by the third lady, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and he continued to play, anyway, he was already sixteen, why did the third lady still coax him like a child?Besides, even if he wanted to leave, he had to see if he could.

"Wait." Sure enough, Mr. Li said, "I sincerely say that I can't leave."

The third lady turned her head and snorted, "Why can't it? Stop entangled with my nephew about those shitty things. I really want to climb up the stairs. Don't you have two sons? Jin Cheng, Jin Cheng All right, whichever one you want to give, don't be too cautious."

"Brothers and sisters, this is a matter between the first and second house, and the third house has to intervene, isn't it a bit more lenient?"

"Yo, you are so shameless as to sell your nephew, what rules are you telling me?" The third lady wiped the corners of her mouth with a smile, "If you are capable, sell your son, and sell your daughter, then I, Sun Qinghe, will be convinced." .”

"you!"

Li Qingchang turned pale with anger, but he had nothing to do with the third lady.Mrs. Li wanted to speak, but the old lady said coldly: "Did Mrs. Xu forget what Mrs. Xu said just now?"

Mrs. Li looked at his old wife. After all, it was the Qingchang family who were at fault. Now that the third family is getting involved again, this matter is really difficult to resolve.If Jin Yan is not allowed to enter the Marshal's Mansion, Qingchang will definitely not be able to explain.But it can't be forced, the second daughter-in-law forced her to die, and the third daughter-in-law got involved again, there was no way to be kind at all.

Mrs. Li really wanted to let go, but thinking of Li Jincheng, there was no way to let him go.

"Fengyun, Qinghe, listen to my father, this is because your eldest brother did something wrong. When things have come to this point, it can't be that your in-laws didn't make it, but you have an enmity with Mr. Lou, right? I sincerely say that my grandfather was wronged when he knew about this matter. You, but for the Li family, you just..."

Hearing Mrs. Li's words, the second lady's heart was so cold that it couldn't be colder. The third lady laughed angrily, and couldn't help but said to the second lady: "Sister-in-law, I understand that the relationship is only between the eldest brother and the Li family in his room." , the second brother and Qingyun both picked it up."

Mrs. Li's complexion will not be uglier than now, but once the words are spoken, you can't swallow them back. Ignoring the third lady, he looked at Li Jinyan: "Jinyan, what do you say? Just like what your uncle said before After all, your father is gone, and you two still have to rely on your uncles and brothers to take care of you."

The second lady was so angry that she couldn't stand still. Is this what the elders should say? !

Li Jinyan patted the second lady's hand and smiled: "Grandfather, what else can I say? Or, how do you want me to say? Say I am wronged? No, I am not wronged, not at all. I promise to marry into the university handsome mansion."

As soon as Li Jin's words came out, everyone was stunned again, even the third lady's eyes widened in surprise, "Yan'er, aren't you confused?"

"Auntie, I'm sober now." Li Jinyan took a step forward, looking at Mrs. Li who hadn't reacted yet, and Li Qingchang and his wife who were complacent. They must be thinking that they would let go because of the second wife, right?

Li Jinyan looked at Li Qingchang with a smile: "Speaking of which, I should also thank my uncle for finding such a marriage for me. Not everyone can enter the Marshal's Mansion, right, uncle?"

Li Qingchang looked at Li Jinyan who was smiling, and suddenly felt a little cold behind him.

Li Jinyan ignored him, but turned to Mrs. Li, "Grandfather, since the grandson has agreed to marry, there is something that needs to be made clear in advance."

"What's the matter? If it's your mother, don't worry, the Li family will not treat you badly."

Li Jinyan shook his head, "No, it's a dowry. You always have a dowry when you marry, right?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, spread out five fingers, and counted one by one: "I marry the young marshal, on behalf of It is the Li family, and the dowry is also the face of the Li family. After calculation, I don’t want too much of the Li family’s properties, including the dyeing workshop, the cloth shop, the tea house, the silver house and the restaurant. Well, staying at home is losing money anyway, plus a silver building, a restaurant, by the way, I remember that there are more than 1000 acres of land at home, and I don’t want more, [-] acres. Grandpa doesn’t have to think I’m greedy, these Tian is going to be a meeting gift for the Marshal, isn’t the President expanding the army? The Marshal will surely follow suit, and just plucked the wheat to build a military camp for the Marshal, and the Marshal will definitely thank the Li family.”

Li Jinyan finished speaking with a smile, and the room became completely silent.

All the dyeing workshops, cloth houses, a silver building, a restaurant, and [-] mu of land, which are almost equivalent to more than one-third of the Li family's property.Buzhuang has been losing money in the past few years. If Li Jinyan said this a few years earlier, it would be equivalent to going to half of the Li family.

It is said that it is a dowry, but in fact, this is to divide the family business, right?

"You, you..." Li Qingchang pointed at Li Jinyan, so angry that he couldn't speak: "Don't even think about it!"

Li Jinyan brushed off his long gown in a slow manner, and said leisurely: "Uncle, it's not whether I want to, but I have to. Since I want Marshal Lou to look at our Li family differently, I can't be stingy. Besides, my nephew thinks it's missing, Otherwise, when I come to visit Mr. Lou in person, after all, it's my future in-law's house, and I can make a good impression on my in-laws by walking around. However, by then, the dowry list will be more than just that."

"Li Jinyan!"

Li Qingchang was really furious, and Mrs. Li also felt that Li Jinyan had gone too far. The old lady licked her temples and said, "Old man, if you ask me, what you say is reasonable. Marrying Young Marshal Lou is a decent dowry. What's more, Qinglong has been running the Li family for so many years, so I feel that these are missing. Otherwise, a silver building and a pawn shop will be added, these are my dowry back then, and I still have the right to dispose of them."

As soon as the old lady said these words, Mrs. Li's objection was silenced. The old wife gave her own dowry. Does he, as a grandfather, still say that his grandson wants too much?

Forget it, in this matter, the Li family is indeed sorry for the second room.

"Fine, let's just say it according to Jinyan." Old Master Li made a final decision, "Qingchang, Jinyan agreed, he is sensible. As an uncle, how did you treat your sister-in-law and nephew before? And you, Mrs. Xu, go and Your sister-in-law apologizes. As for Jinqin and Jinxing..."

"Grandfather, since I've recovered from my illness, let's take it lightly on my eldest sister and fourth brother." Li Jinyan knew how to accept it when he got well. He couldn't push Li Qingchang too hastily before the "dowry", but he just said Light hair down, but did not say no to hair down.

Even if Li Qingchang was dissatisfied, it was impossible for him to disobey Mrs. Li face to face, so he could only grit his teeth secretly, and let this little bastard make a show.

Seeing the resentful backs of Li Qingchang and the First Madam, the Third Madam chuckled, and said to the Second Madam, "Sister-in-law, I'm convinced, don't look at your family's Jinyan who is usually silent, this sudden bite, It's really enough to hurt the family's bones."

Li Jinyan supported the second wife, with a bitter face, "Auntie, stop mocking me, am I being cornered? They treated my mother like that, if I am like before, then I am not a man! "

"You're still a man." The third lady laughed even harder, "You're about to get married now, and the third aunt has to think about it, whether it's time to use the treasure at the bottom of the box to add makeup to you."

"Aunt..."

When the Li family was arguing about Li Jinyan's marriage, the house of Marshal Lou was not peaceful.

Mrs. Lou took Li Jinyan's birth date and the sign of the order, looking at it, she couldn't help but sighed, she wanted to marry a man to her son, what was going on.Even with the Taoist's comment, Mrs. Lou still felt uneasy, thinking that when someone brought it in, she might as well offer it as a Bodhisattva, feed it with delicious food and drink, it would be considered as the utmost benevolence of the Lou family.

Marshal Lou is happy to see the success of this matter. Li Jinyan's father Li Qinglong's name, he has heard about it for a long time, and the president of the South can come to the door in person. How can it be a simple person?Even though he was in the northern government, he couldn't hide anything from the southern government.Li Qinglong served in the Ministry of Finance of the South for less than a year. During this period, the financial problems of the southern government have been greatly improved. This person's ability and talent are obvious to all. Unfortunately, he died too early.

"The nasty things about the Nanfang government, just thinking about it will make you angry." Marshal Lou pushed away the girl who was rubbing his shoulders, and touched Cheng Liang's bald head. Ever since he cut his braids, Marshal Lou's hair has always been the same. Not a single blade of grass grows, and even his cronies followed suit. He took off his hat, and his head was bald. Even the hair of the soldier under his hand didn't grow long. Just kidding, the officer has a bald head, and he has a hedgehog head on his head, isn't it? Looking for a whip?Some people ridiculed the whole bald army of the Lou family.Lou Dashuai laughed loudly after hearing this: "Damn it, don't look at me with bald heads, they are not vegetarian monks!"

Anyone can hear the murderous intent in this sentence, the people who laughed at Marshal Lou shrunk their necks, but the bald army under Marshal Lou became famous because of it.

However, Grand Marshal Lou's only son, Young Marshal Lou, did not inherit his father's military habits. He received the orthodox Confucian education of the renters, and studied in a foreign military academy for five years. On the outside, he has the air of a gentleman.Unlike Marshal Lou, Lou Xiao seldom loses his temper, but as long as he keeps a cold face, even his old brother who has been with Marshal Lou for decades can't help but feel chills in the back of his head.

Marshal Lou's aides are very optimistic about Lou Xiao, although Marshal Lou has only one son, it is worth ten or twenty sons of others.

However, at the moment, Young Marshal Lou, who is so majestic in the army, was dragged into the car by Mrs. Lou with a helpless face, and called him: Xiang's wife.

"Even if the horoscope matches, we have to meet face to face. The appearance must always be decent. Otherwise, if Zhong Kui comes back, our family will have to be laughed at forever."

Young Marshal Lou, who was dressed in an iron-gray military uniform, looked at Mrs. Lou beside him, took off his military cap and put it on his arm, and sighed helplessly.
