Chapter 39: The Twin Foxes
"Ugh." Li Dahe's face immediately darkened, and then he said with some excitement, "The Zhao family is the big housekeeper Zhao Wuwu, and he said very politely, please ask our father and son to go to the banquet tonight, because my father was hindered by the previous gift of the house, so I had to agree." ”
Li Zhongyi said with a smile: "The child has prepared some gifts, and they are in the car behind." ”
Li Dahe was worried about the issue of gift-giving, Li Zhongyi was so carefully prepared, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, nodded and said, "You still understand the difficulties of being a father." ”
The house is empty, even if the slaves are returned, but all the floating wealth is gone, what to give as a gift?
A penny is difficult for a hero, and Li Dahe has to sit in the city of sorrow. However, he also knows that Li Zhongyi has now become a rich man.
The Cao family's property has all become Li Zhongyi's bag, and Li Dahe is both funny and sad as long as he thinks about it.
Good relatives don't do it, they want to come to the door to bully people, and they suffer retribution, which is really sighing!
Li Dahe also knew that Li Zhongyi was angry, but Cao Meng brought someone to the door, which was indeed very reasonable.
Moreover, Li Dahe also guessed that it was probably the Cao family who instigated Cao Meng to do this behind his back. It's just that as soon as this thought came to mind, Li Dahe didn't dare to continue to think about it.
Bad luck at home!
Seeing that it was almost dark, Li Dahe went out with Li Zhongyi, ready to board the car and hit the road.
Li Dahe walked to the side of the carriage, glanced at it casually, couldn't help but be surprised, and blurted out: "This is the royal carriage?" ”
Li Zhongyi nodded and replied: "Because the prescription prescribed by the child was lucky, it happened to meet the illness of the noble concubine, and it was a carriage specially given by His Majesty." ”
Li Dahe turned his head and glanced at Li Zhongyi deeply, his heart was already turbulent, and the waves were rolling.
It seems that the future of the Li family depends on the big man in front of him to support the door.
Li Dahe didn't say anything more, and took the lead in boarding the car, Li Zhongyi saw that his father's face was quite normal, so he didn't think much about it and followed into the carriage.
In front of the back door of the Zhao Mansion, because Li Dahe had not yet been reinstated, the servant stepped forward and handed Li Zhongyi's name thorn.
Zhao Er, who had been guarding the door, took a look at the famous thorn, and said in his heart, the main master is here, he ordered someone to open the door to greet him, and at the same time sent someone to hurry up to tell the old lady.
"Little Zhao Er, I've seen Da Hegong and Yi Langjun." Zhao Er looked very polite, stepped forward quickly, and saluted respectfully.
Da and Gong? Li Dahe's heart trembled violently, good guy, when did he enjoy such a high salary before?
Moreover, Who is Zhao Er? Others don't know, but Li Dahe is like a mirror, this Zhao Er is the second head of the Zhao Mansion, and the old lady Zhao is a very useful henchman.
The face given by the Zhao family is really not small, and Li Dahe is very comfortable.
Li Zhongyi didn't care about these vain face-saving efforts, and until now, he hadn't figured out why Mrs. Zhao invited their father and son to be guests?
After the politeness was over, Zhao Er actually asked the Li family father and son to get back into the carriage and drive directly into the Zhao Mansion.
Li Dahe was shocked again, the Zhao family is the home of a powerful prime minister, in front of this door, all civil and military officials have to get off the horse, even if they are above the third grade, they have to walk in.
With Li Dahe present, Li Zhongyi simply said nothing, and let his father deal with it.
In the end, Zhao Er couldn't resist the stubborn Li Dahe, so he had to lead the Li family father and son to walk into the house together.
Having already seen the second door, Zhao Er suddenly saw that his old master was stroking his beard and standing at the door with a smile, and he couldn't help but secretly take a cool breath.
Zhao Er thought to himself, even if the old master of his own family greeted the important ministers of the court, it was nothing more than that, it seemed that the old lady did not pay attention to the father and son beside him.
"I've seen the old lady." Li Dahe was so excited when he saw that Mrs. Zhao was so polite, and he actually left Li Zhongyi behind and stepped forward to salute alone.
Old lady Zhao glanced at Li Zhongyi, who was walking unhurriedly behind her, and thought, let your kid be treacherous like a ghost, this time, I want to see if you can escape the palm of the old man's hand?
"Brother Dahe, the old man took the liberty to ask, I don't know if Zhongyi has a nickname?" Mrs. Zhao stretched out her hand to help Li Dahe and asked affectionately.
Li Dahe's mood has always been very uneasy, and he didn't think much about it, so he explained: "Don't hide it from the old lady, because he is the eldest son of middle age, he has been calling him Brother Zhen." ”
When Li Zhongyi came up to greet him, Mrs. Zhao grabbed his arm and said with a smile: "Brother Zhen, the old man has been looking forward to you for a long time." ”
Li Zhongyi's scalp was numb for a while, this old fox, I don't know what the hell he is doing?
Seeing that Mrs. Zhao attached so much importance to Li Zhongyi, it was impossible for Li Da and this father not to be happy, and his whole body exuded irrepressible joy.
After the greetings were over, Mrs. Zhao left Li Zhongyi and accompanied Li Dahe affectionately to the inner study.
Min Zihao took the time to walk to Li Zhongyi's side and introduced himself, "The contemptible surname is Min, the name is Zihao, and the word is wide. ”
Li Zhongyi knew as soon as he saw the way Min Zihao spoke, this must be the confidant and staff of Mrs. Zhao's side, so he hurriedly returned the salute.
"I heard that Brother Zhongyi, you have made a lot of money recently?" Min Zihao asked Li Zhongyi pointedly.
Li Zhongyi knew that Min Zihao was referring to something else, so naturally he couldn't be fooled, he sighed and said, "Recently, my family has been unfortunate, and it has been quite a headache. ”
Min Zihao shook the folding fan in his hand, rolled his eyes, sighed with Li Zhongyi, and said, "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read." ”
Well, this is a bit interesting, Li Zhongyi thought to himself, the Li family is not clear about the Cao family, no matter how big this business is, how big can it be?
The Zhao family has a sharp contradiction with the powerful minister Zhang Ye, and both sides are armed with heavy troops, and the elite Qiu Ba with guns under his command has tens of thousands.
The gods fight, the little ghosts suffer, this muddy water is too deep, and it is still not good.
Seeing that Li Zhongyi didn't squeak, Min Zihao's eyes rolled, and he said: "The house has recently arrested several traitors, and one of them is actually a personal entourage of my father-in-law." It's nothing else, I'm afraid that there will be some news, and I can't hide it. ”
Li Zhongyi understood in his heart that Min Zihao meant that there was a mole in the inner circle of the Zhao family, and it was likely that the matter of his submission to the list of spies would be leaked to Zhang Ye.
Then, with Zhang Ye's character, it is absolutely impossible not to retaliate against Li Zhongyi ferociously under the anger.
Is this a coercion of Chiguoguo?
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly and said, "Brother Kuanfu, if it were you, would you believe that I was such a small person who broke the big thing?" ”
Without waiting for Min Zihao to refute, Li Zhongyi accentuated his tone and said: "In Xia Bucai, I know the way of alchemy, it seems that Your Majesty has never killed Danshi, right?" ”
In Li Zhongyi's words, Min Zihao was exhausted for a while, blinking his eyes, and urgently planning countermeasures.
Seeing that Min Zihao had nothing to say, Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, he had the courage to offer to help Meng Chang refine the pill, the purpose was to leave a way for himself and the entire Li family to survive.
The theory of the strength of the rivers and lakes!
It is precisely because the Zhao family has a lot of military power and has a great threat to Zhang Ye's monopoly on the government that Zhang Ye regards the Zhao family as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh.
Even if the Zhao family pushed Li Zhongyi out and handed it over to Zhang Ye, could it be said that Zhang Ye would regard Zhao Tingyin as a friend from now on?
How is this possible?
Li Zhongyi did not have a single soldier under him, and it was impossible to pose any threat to Zhang Ye's power, which was the key.
In addition, Li Zhongyi fooled Meng Chang into refining the pill, just to make Zhang Ye have scruples and not dare to be ruthless to him.
In addition, Li Zhongyi coincidentally and Chengdu Hou Meng Renyi became "bad friends" at first sight, with Meng Renyi's help and Meng Chang in need of alchemy, Li Zhongyi's situation is actually relatively safe.
Min Zihao was able to be Mrs. Zhao's staff, and he had his own advantages, Li Zhongyi dialed it slightly, and he knew that Li Zhongyi had already left a way back.
Awesome!
Min Zihao sighed to himself, and thought to himself, no wonder the old lady wanted to take this kid into his pocket, but he didn't look away.
When he walked into the study and took his seat, Mrs. Zhao glanced at Min Zihao seemingly unintentionally, and saw that he pursed his lips and smiled fakely.
Mrs. Zhao understood when she was in public that she had a secret trick with Li Zhongyi just now, but Min Zihao did not win.
"Brother Dahe, please invite your father and son to come today, mainly because I have added a new grandson to my family," Old Lady Zhao said this, paused slightly, and waited for Li Dahe's attention to be attracted to him, then said, "Brother Dahe, you are a famous imperial doctor, didn't you cure the old man's old illness?" ”
Old lady Zhao obviously didn't want to leave Li Dahe room to think, and continued: "So, the old man wants to ask Da and the elder brother to help me see how this grandson's roots and bones are, and whether he can grow up?" ”
In this era, limited to the backwardness of medical standards, women give birth to children because of difficult births, and the mortality rate is extremely high, which is often a tragedy of one corpse and two lives.
Moreover, even if the baby is born, the proportion of premature deaths is very high. It is already very good to give birth to five children and be able to grow up smoothly, and to have two.
In the agricultural society, the concept of raising children to prevent old age is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the infant mortality rate is extremely high, so whether it is a large family in the Zhumen or a poor farmer, they all regard the inheritance of the family and the continuation of incense as the top priority of the family.
Mrs. Zhao threw out such a big hat, and Li Dahe was naturally put into it, and he said sincerely: "A newborn baby has extremely fragile bones, and there is no room for mistakes. ”
Li Zhongyi sighed secretly, in his last life, he had a son who was a pit father, saying that his father was Li Gang. Now, he has a pit son's father, and he is still surnamed Li, unlucky!
At the time of tea, Mrs. Zhao's grandson was taken out by the nurse and handed over to Li Dahe.
Li Dahe follows the principle of bone physiognomy, looking left and right, touching up, looking down, not to mention how meticulous.
Old lady Zhao saw Li Zhongyi idle, so she smiled and said, "Brother Zhen, you also come to see your younger brother?" ”
Okay, the younger brothers have come out, Li Zhongyi forcibly suppressed the helplessness in his heart, and said politely: "The younger generation doesn't understand pediatrics, and it's in vain to see it." ”
Mrs. Zhao twisted her beard and smiled, you kid want to pretend to be garlic, hehe, there is no door, let's see.
In the end, Li Dahe gave his conclusion that the grandson of Mrs. Zhao was very healthy.
Mrs. Zhao said with a smile: "That's good, that's good, the old man has been worried that this grandson won't be able to raise it." ”
Suddenly, Mrs. Zhao turned her head and asked Li Dahe: "Brother Zhen hasn't written yet, right?" Is it possible to be married? ”
Li Zhongyi realized that something was wrong, and looked at Li Dahe and Lian Envoy, but there was really no way to have such a foolish father, Li Dahe didn't look at Li Zhongyi at all, and replied honestly: "Don't hide it from the old lady, I want to wait for him to reach the age of twenty, and then ask the elders in the clan to take a table for him." As for family affairs, there is a marriage, but my future in-laws have now gone to Nantang to be officials. ”
What the? Already married? Li Zhongyi's eyes widened immediately, staring directly at Li Dahe's body, it was unbelievable.
