It is really not a pleasant thing to dig out of the warm quilt and dress up, and send it to the porcelain source hall half-asleep and half-awake, listening to the arguments of a group of old foxes who are blushing for their own interests.Sleepy-eyed and wrapped in the black fox sat in the chair, babbling and arguing about the way in and out of the left ear, and there was only one thought in his drowsy head: sleep!
Warm the bed!
Dream about good food!
Li Haitang was so sleepy that her little head grew little by little, and her body tilted towards the table and woke up upright.She was tortured for almost an hour, and the old men were arguing for almost two hours.The ugly time of the winter night is the time of sweet dreams, but I sit here and listen to the noisy shouting and scolding of a group of old foxes.She couldn't hold back in the end, her round and tired apricot eyes widened, and she yelled angrily."
Shut up!
Shut up!
”The second old lady Li, who had not spoken from beginning to end, couldn't help it, and the ebony cane hit the ground with a "dong dong", and scolded: "Look at what you look like, why don't you make amends to the first daughter of Feng Xian." ”The most fierce, excited, and loudest Li patriarch said angrily: "Why should I shut up?
They didn't think I was good, and when they saw that I had used my own money to rebuild the Xiqiao Pavilion and the Wuxin Courtyard, they also came to grab the credit one by one.Second cousin, I am also your own nephew who grew up, how can you help them bully me. ”Second Master Li sneered and said: "The patriarch has always been above the top, when will we be relatives?"
Tonight, the brothers of the eight major clans are here to discuss the rebuilding of the four courtyards, has anyone invited you to come?
”The Li patriarch was embarrassed, but he still justifiably defended himself: "I am the patriarch of the Li clan, and the eight major clans are discussing the reconstruction, why can't I come?"
”Second Master Li sneered coldly and said sarcastically: "You burned down the Xian Pavilion, Wuxin Courtyard and Longfu Family Temple because you were guilty of sin, and you still have the face to run to rebuild the four courtyards.It is true that you are the patriarch of the Li clan, but as the patriarch who knows the law and violates the law, the crime should be increased by one degree.Nian Zai Li clan is the mother clan of Feng Xian's daughter, so the brothers of the eight major clans did not punish you according to the "Ancestral Rules".Patriarch, hurry back to the Golden Buddha Hall and think about it, so as not to come out and embarrass and ruin the only remaining prestige of the Li clan. ”"You......
Hum!
”The patriarch of Li couldn't distinguish Second Master Li, and pointed at the tip of Second Master Li's nose indignantly, and he was so angry that he forgot all about swearing.The six patriarchs present, the lords of the eight major clans, and the merchant squires of the side branches and relatives looked at the Li patriarch with countless disdainful eyes.Patriarch Li was like a needle in the soles of his feet, stinging so much that he wanted to leave for fear of provoking more ridicule, and he looked helplessly at the sleepy little girl.Hey, you and Zhuge Yi instigated me to come, why did you pretend to be asleep when you were besieged by everyone?
If you don't say anything, I'll tell you about your plot."
Shut up!
It's noisy!
”Li Haitang's apricot eyes widened, and in order to express her anger, her small hand swept over the table, and the beautiful blue and white porcelain teacup fell to the ground and fell apart.The startled sound frightened the arguing crowd, and turned his head to look at the little girl in unison.Patriarch Mo was hoarse, and said unhappily: "Who are you throwing the teacup in front of?"
Don't forget who you are!
”"The eldest nephew of the Mo family, let's talk about what identity she is and what identity you are.Yes?
”The second old lady asked indifferently, with a kind smile without the slightest coercion.But people who know the temper of the second old lady Li know that the smiling tiger who kills people with a soft knife and does not see blood is the second old lady Li.Patriarch Yan's well-known smiling tiger, his ruthless methods are childish games in front of the second old lady Li.Patriarch Mo was speechless, he was the patriarch of the Mo clan, and the little girl was the daughter of Fengxian.One is a mortal, the other is a fairy, and she is a little girl in terms of status.Li Haitang rubbed his sleepy apricot eyes and muttered, "You are noisy and noisy, just trying to keep your money and prestige."
I want to contribute less money and less effort, and I want to win fame and leave my name for eternity.But I listened to the quarrels in the middle of the night, and no one proposed how to do great things with less money, and gain prestige with less effort. ”"Feng Xiannu means that we are noisy in vain?"
Patriarch Yan said with a smile, putting his hands in his sleeves and choosing a chair closest to the charcoal brazier to sit down.Li Haitang handed the small copper stove to Qingluo and told her to change some charcoal.When Qingluo left, she beckoned to the old foxes and said, "Come here!"
Come here!
I've got a great idea for you, and I'll make sure you happily agree. ”"What's the idea?"
The second old lady Li was very interested.He didn't come up with a good idea for less money and less effort in the middle of the night, as if the reconstruction of the four courtyards should be built according to the paintings of a hundred years ago, which would cost a huge amount of silver than the four courtyards restored to their original state.The six patriarchs and many old men gathered together to see what kind of brilliant ideas the little girl would come up with.Li Haitang smiled proudly for a while, and said, "My idea is to drive away the owners of the most luxurious mansions in Ciyu Town, and then occupy their mansions for repair and renovation.Not to mention the four major courtyards, even the six courtyards, eight courtyards, and ten courtyards are also completed.Spend less money and contribute less, no one has an opinion. ”"Hahahaha!
Who came up with this bad idea?
What a real trick. ”The second old lady laughed, shook his head and sighed: "I'm really old, and I can't compare to the young man's brain."
If this trick is used, who will come to Ciyu Town to do business in the future?
Haven't the clansmen of our eight major clans become bandits and robbers?
”Li Haitang pursed the corners of his lips and said helplessly: "You are arguing, and in the end you have no idea."
Instead of watching you fool around, you might as well listen to my idea. ”"They don't have a bright head, and neither do you?
The matter of rebuilding the four courtyards was started by the patriarch of my Li clan, and there must be someone behind him who was obstructing it and secretly instigating the people of the eight major clans to come and grab the credit. ”The elite old eyes of the second old lady Li stared at the patriarchs and old men gathered in front of him, and his voice suddenly deepened, and he asked: "Say!"
Whom have you been commanded by?
”Patriarch Mo frowned, looked at Patriarch Li, and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that Patriarch Li is really willing to pay his own money to rebuild the Pavilion and the Wuxin Courtyard?"
”Patriarch Li held his head high and said dissatisfiedly: "Nonsense!
I'm not stupid, in order to make a comeback and regain prestige, what is it to lose some silver. ”Patriarch Mo hesitated and looked at Li Haitang, "What are you and him not going to do?"
”"Well, yes.I'm going to ask Master to paint under the pretext of reconstruction. ”Li Haitang told him frankly to dispel Patriarch Mo's doubts.The second old lady swept to everyone present and said, "Don't make any noise, the reconstruction of the four courtyards must be completed."
As for the one who is in the shadows, you all have your own spies.Go and check it separately, if you don't find out, our porcelain Yuzhen and the eight major clans will never have peace. ”The patriarchs and the old men nodded in unison.It was rare to reach a consensus, bowed to the second old lady Li and Li Haitang, and promised to arrest the people behind the scenes.Li Haitang waved his hand indifferently and asked the second old lady Li: "When will we disperse, I'm sleepy." ”The second old lady laughed, got up with an ebony cane, and said, "It's late at night, let's disperse."
In the afternoon of tomorrow, the patriarchs will come to the porcelain source hall again, and I will bring the picture scroll of a hundred years ago.Feng Xiannu also invited Zhuge Gongzi to come and discuss the painting together. ”"Okay."
Li Haitang nodded sleepily, led the green rato who came back from changing charcoal, and returned to the new house in a carriage.() Glory to the end
