It was rare to see the arrogant little girl who usually faced them with Mai Mang's appearance of being rude and squeamish, which made the tense hearts of the patriarchs and the old men relax instantly, and the serious and stereotypical old faces also showed a little relieved smile."
Big girl, the slave is here to serve tea.""
Come in."
Li Haitang gave an order, and Qingluo led five little maids in to serve tea.Qingluo holds the tray with both hands, the two delicate teacups are painted with gold and silver, and the porcelain painting of the colorful butterfly looking for the peony is vivid.The first cup was given to Begonia, and the other cup was given to the second old lady Li."
Prepare a few more charcoal braziers, the silver carbon is not enough, go to Wuxin Courtyard to find the old housekeeper to borrow a basket, and I will take food and calculate the money with him tomorrow."
Li Haitang held the teacup and whispered to Qingluo, obviously saying a common thing, but it made the patriarchs and old men present blush with embarrassment, and the hot tea in his hand was not drunk, nor was he drunk.Second Old Lady Li looked at his grandson who was standing at the door and said, "Wu'er, you go home and find the old housekeeper and bring our family's best silver carbon in a carriage."
How can a group of daughters in the Pavilion of the Zodiac stay able to withstand the cold winter?
”Li Junwu coldly glanced at the patriarchs and old men who were silently drinking tea, and sneered in his heart.These misers, who run faster than anyone else when they take advantage, now that it is their turn to pay for it, it hurts more than cutting their flesh."
Junwu Gongzi is slow."
Li Haitang called Li Junwu, who turned around and wanted to leave, and said to the second old lady Li: "Thank you for the generous gift from the second old lady Li, I am grateful to the five."
It's just that the place where you live is even colder in winter, and there is no shortage of charcoal fires.I live in the town, and I always think of ways to scrape together a few baskets to get by. ”"The treasury of the Pavilion has been burned, and I heard that not even a copper plate has been snatched out, and those gold and silver treasures have no hope.I see that your ink fox fur is a man's style, so it's not good to go to Wuxin Courtyard all day long to borrow something. ”The second old lady Li persuaded earnestly, and a pair of old eyes swept towards the patriarchs and old men present, sneering in his heart This group of stupid people with mouse eyes think that they can hide by pretending to be deaf and dumb?
Hehe, they've fought with the little girl for hundreds of rounds, which time did they really take advantage?
As the saying goes, the first is strong, and the second is the worst.The second old lady always felt that the little girl was holding back a big move, but she couldn't guess what she was planning in her heart.Looking at these fools who still don't know that the danger is approaching and still sit on their own right, I really feel sad for their parents who have passed away for many years.The older generation is wise and martial, how did they give birth to sons who are not as good as one.Li Junwu looked at his grandfather with inquiring eyes, and the second old lady nodded slightly, and raised his chin slightly to signal him to go out.Li Haitang instructed Qingluo to take Li Junwu to the class room in the outer courtyard of the East Cross Courtyard to rest, and told the little servants not to snub him.Qingluo agreed, and led Li Junwu to the outer courtyard."
Junwu Gongzi is still young, and there are some things he shouldn't listen to.""
Feng Xiannu is thoughtful."
The obedient attitude of the second old lady Li made the patriarchs and the old men feel uneasy.Patriarch Li's face became solemn, and his eyes were not good when he looked at Second Master Li who was standing at the door."
It seems that Patriarch Wu and Patriarch Yan have bigger things to do.If you don't come, you won't come. ”Li Haitang sighed helplessly, looked around at the patriarchs and old men present, his eyes settled on the patriarch Li, and asked with concern: "When will Brother Shen come back?"
Can Patriarch Li receive a letter from Brother Shen?
”Patriarch Li's face was dark, and he said unhappily: "Shen'er sends a letter every half a month, he followed Sister Mo in Jiangnan to learn the way of doing business, and now he can go to find a businessman alone."
Recently, he has made a lot of money, not only sending me a box of filial sons, but also sending gold locks and other things to his mother's unborn brother. ”"It seems that Brother Shen doesn't want to come back."
Li Haitang hung his head in frustration and said, "I should have guessed a long time ago, Brother Shen is so arrogant, how can he come back without anything." ”"Everything in the world has a fixed number, and it is a good opportunity for him to venture out at a young age.Could it be that if he returns without learning anything, will it be beneficial for him to take over the power of the clan in the future?
Ask a few of you who didn't sleep in the open and go north and south before taking over the clan power.When you encounter danger outside, you rely on your own strength, and the power, status, and wealth of your family cannot protect you from being safe.Only by learning their own skills can they sit firmly in the position of the head of this clan. ”Patriarch Mo used his experience when he was young to comfort Begonia, which was unanimously recognized by all the patriarchs present.Recalling the experience of breaking into the business road when I was young, there are hardships, joys, dangers, sorrows, everything seems to have happened yesterday.After being comforted by Patriarch Mo, Li Haitang was worried that Li Junshen's heart gradually calmed down.She stood up and saluted apologetically to the patriarchs and the old men, and apologized to Patriarch Li.Patriarch Li snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly: "You asked us to come here just to ask if Shen'er can come back?"
”"Of course not."
Li Haitang sat down, took out an account book from Dayu's inner pocket, and said, "This is the account book newly copied by the old lady of the deacon of the Qi Pavilion.Because I have been busy cleaning up the ruins of the Pavilion recently, I can't come to the Porcelain Source Hall to report this matter to the patriarchs and the old masters.There are two important things that have summoned you tonight.One is this account book, and the other is the struggle for power in the Li clan. ”Patriarch Li's face was gloomy, and he swept the teacup on the table to the ground with his big hand, and said indignantly: "The family affairs of my Li clan are not a handle for you to use power for personal gain, just ask for how much money you want, I will not lose a son of you." ”"Sit down!"
The second old lady Li scolded angrily, waved the ebony dragon head cane and hit the Li patriarch, and scolded: "You are unproductive, your upbringing girl led people to burn down the Cabinet Pavilion, and you still don't know how to repent."
When you get home, I'm going to ask the family law to wake you up.Hum!
Something that doesn't make a difference!
”Patriarch Li snorted unconvinced, sat back in his chair and twisted his body in a silent resistance.Li Haitang quietly looked around at the patriarchs and old men present, as long as his daughter was a girl who obeyed Li Yunzi's order to come to the Pavilion to make trouble, this favorite girl would lower his head and rush into the teacup.Li Haitang put the account book on his knees, patted his little hands rhythmically and gently, and said, "Who are the girls who came to make trouble in the Pavilion that day, and the deacon's old sister-in-law has written down the list of flowers."
The eldest girl Yunzi was indeed the mastermind of the burning of the Pavilion, but none of the girls, the sisters-in-law and the eldest girl who came with them stood idly by. ”"Feng Xiannu, please calm your anger, rebuilding the Pavilion is within the responsibility of the eight major clans, and we will never sit idly by."
An old man from the Wu clan hurriedly agreed.That day, his two daughters led the family's henchmen and nurses to make trouble, and when they came back, they were severely scolded by him, and several Diao slaves were also killed with a cane.He thought that things had changed, but who knew that he finally came to ask for the debt today.Li Haitang shook his head pretending to be sad and sighed: "No, no, no."
On that day, at the sacrificial ground, I promised the clansmen of the eight major clans that I would rebuild the Pavilion on their own and would not drag down the clansmen of each clan.Now that they have reversed their word, they have been reduced in the winter to make up money, how can I rest assured. ”"Don't worry, we will take this silver out of our own private treasury.Hehe, out of the private treasury, has nothing to do with the clansmen. ”The old man of the Wu clan said flatteringly, but he didn't know that he had dug a bottomless pit, not only burying himself, but also affecting all the patriarchs and masters here.It was only at this time that Patriarch Mo, who had been silent, realized that he had been trapped, and the second old lady Li was the most shrewd old fox in the audience, and he escaped the doom of "making up silver" with only a carriage of silver frost carbon.Patriarch Mo looked meaningfully at the second old lady Li who was smiling kindly, and praised silently: Second Uncle Li is really cunning and cunning, admire!
Admire!
The second old lady Li smiled and chirped, as if to say: Stinky boy, you deserve to be pitted, who made you stupid.The happiest was Li Haitang, who took the account book back into his arms and said, "I'll leave the matter of making up money to the second old lady Li to worry about."
Now, let's discuss the family affairs of the Li clan, how about it?
”Patriarch Li was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and he couldn't speak when he hit the table with his big hand.() Glory to the end
