Chapter 306: Contradictions Emerge
The Li family obviously has a tradition of preferring women over men, and after the old lady saw the baby "granddaughter-in-law", she completely forgot the existence of Li Yi, the genuine "grandson", and took Liu Ruyi's hand and walked towards the house.

The old lady's enthusiasm was far beyond Li Yi's imagination, and she could only follow them in at this time.
However, a few maids beside the old lady secretly glanced at the young master who met for the first time, and after being discovered by Li Yi, she turned her head with a slightly red face.
There were still many people in the hall, and when the old lady pulled Liu Ruyi in, everyone happened to greet her.
"Good, good!" A middle-aged man in his thirties strode over, walked up to Li Yi, patted him on the shoulder, and said a few good words with a face.
Li Yi felt some pain in his shoulder, but when he saw that his eyes were slightly red, he didn't bother with him.
"Young master, this is the second master, you should be called the second uncle." Li Bo reminded from the side.
The Li family has three sons and one daughter, the eldest son is not there, and the second son inherits the family business.
"Second uncle." Li Yi bowed and saluted.
Maybe it's because the same blood flows in the body, even if it's the first time you meet, you will inevitably have some intimacy with these people.
"This is the third master." Li Bo pointed to another younger man.
Li Yi saluted again.
The third uncle just nodded slightly, not showing such enthusiasm.
Li Yi didn't care about this, Li Bo had already told him that the third master of the Li family had a weak temperament, and he was like this to anyone, and he didn't have any malice.
There are two uncles and three uncles, naturally there are two aunts and three aunts, but whoever is born in a big family, and who has no two concubines, Li Yi recognized a circle of people, and finally only remembered a few key ones.
Most of the female dependents were revolving around Liu Ruyi, and Li Yi saw a woman pointing to the bracelet that the old lady had just given her, and exclaimed with an exaggerated expression: "This bracelet looks really familiar, like the one the old lady is wearing." ā
Then, everyone's eyes were fixed on the bracelet on Liu Ruyi's hand.
There are those who are amazed, there are those who are envious, and there are several jealous eyes, and Li Yi immediately knew that the old lady's gift might be too big.
"These two children have been on the road for several days, and they are all tired when they think about it, and they have seen all the people they should see, let them go down and have a good rest, and if there is anything, we will talk about it in the evening." A moment later, the old lady gave the order.
Filial piety comes first, the ancients profoundly implemented this traditional virtue, in this family, the outside affairs are decided by the man, as for family affairs, the old lady is the one in power.
"Ruyi, you come with grandma first." When Li Yi was surrounded by several maids and left, he saw the old lady holding Miss Liu Er's hand and happily went to the back hall.
Although this is still a face-looking society, it is always easier to attract people to be pleasing if she is beautiful, but Li Yi always felt that the old lady's eyes were a little abnormal, and she was puzzled, she had been brought into a room by several maids, and a pretty maid said crisply: "Young master, the slave maid is waiting for you to bathe......
After a long journey on the way, I was really tired, and it was not bad to take a hot bath comfortably, Li Yi took off his shirt, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he looked back, he found several maids standing behind him with red faces and looking at him, with a certain light in their eyes.
Li Yike didn't have the habit of being watched by people when he took a bath, he just wanted to soak alone for a while, and after the bath bucket and hot water were ready, he sent them out.
Lying comfortably in the tub, I began to miss Xiaohuan.
At this time, how nice it would be if you could have the little girl's hands massaged on the shoulders......
Kyoto has arrived, and the favor has been almost repaid, and when the old lady's birthday is over, he can say goodbye, Ruyi and Xiaohuan are still waiting for him at home.
No matter how big the Li family's family business is, it will not be his turn to inherit it, not to mention that he is really not interested in this, coming to the Li family to see, it is just the obsession of the child in the dream, Li Yi has a hunch that when he dreams again, he will definitely not see him.
Just when Li Yi was lying comfortably in the bathtub, several maids sat under the porch at the door and whispered.
"That's the little young master, it seems that the eldest young master ran away from home twenty years ago is true......" A maid with a double bun exclaimed.
An older maid whispered: "Of course it's true, the old people in the house know that the eldest young master eloped away from home with a woman back then, otherwise, how could the second master be the head of the family?" ā
"I heard the old lady say just now that the little master and the young master look exactly the same, I don't know if it's true." A round-faced maid muttered.
"It's really true, there is a portrait of the young master in the old lady's Buddhist hall, I have seen it, the person on it is very similar to the little master, the old lady looks at the portrait every time and tears, it should be the young master......"
"The little young master is really handsome, although he looks thin, but when he takes off his clothes, he is really ......, you say, who will the old lady let serve the little master?"
In these big families, the maids who serve the young master will generally become concubines in the end, although they can't talk about flying on the branches and becoming phoenixes, but in the future, brocade clothes and jade food are indispensable, therefore, becoming the young master's personal maid is the ideal of most maids.
One of them laughed when he heard this: "Don't dream, I don't think the little young master has any idea about us at all, otherwise he wouldn't have driven us all out just now, even the second lady of the young lady's family is so beautiful, I think the young lady is also a first-class beauty, can the young master take a fancy to us?" ā
The maid who spoke just now was obviously a little disappointed, and changed the topic: "The old lady likes the second lady very much, and even gave her the jade bracelet in her hand, I heard that the jade bracelet was only passed on to the eldest lady of the Li family, and the second lady has always wanted the jade bracelet, but the old lady didn't give it to her, and the second lady must be unhappy this time." ā
Having nothing to do and secretly chewing on the root of the tongue of some of the masters' houses is probably one of the few entertainments for these subordinates, especially when there is no one around, the topic will be bolder.
At this time, in a hall in the back house, the woman with an angry face pointed to Li Mingze, the current head of the Li family, and said: "Look at it, look at it, what kind of favoritism is this, can the bracelet be given out casually, does she want that foreign woman to be the eldest wife of our Li family?" ā
"I know, I know, after so many years, the old lady is still thinking about her eldest son, calling "good grandson" one by one, whether there is us in her eyes, she will give away the heirloom bracelet today, and she will be able to send the Li family out tomorrow......"
"Shut up!"
Li Mingze slapped the table, stood up and said: "He is the only bloodline of the eldest brother, and he is the descendant of our Li family, I owe too much to the eldest brother, I can't treat this child badly, ......these words, I will not say it again in the future!" ā
After that, he brushed his sleeves and left, leaving only the woman in the hall, scolding even louder.
ā¦ā¦
ā¦ā¦
Li Yi woke up, he had not dreamed recently, and he suddenly felt refreshed, looked up at the window, and found that the sky had darkened.
"Young master, the old lady asked the slave maid to take the young master to dinner."
The knock was followed by a crisp sound.
