"What the hell is going on?" Liu Lao asked with a shocked face. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It all started 30 years ago." Li Dongyang fell into a memory with a painful face, "One day, the old patriarch summoned me, relying on the kindness of the old patriarch to me, I didn't dare to refuse, and when I arrived at home, he mysteriously pulled me to the secret room, hesitated for a long time, as if something could not be said. ”
"At my urging, the old patriarch finally spoke, but what he said made me still frightened." Speaking of this, Li Dongyang looked at Liu Lao, a little embarrassed.
Liu Lao also looked at Li Dongyang with a frown, he vaguely guessed something in his heart, but this matter was too shocking, he didn't dare to think about it, but stared at Li Dongyang intently.
Li Dongyang sighed, and finally spoke, "The old patriarch actually wants to borrow seeds from me!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Dongyang didn't dare to look at Liu Lao, and hung his head in shame.
A glimmer of light flashed in Liu Lao's eyes, but then his face was slightly calmer, he sighed lightly, patted Li Dongyang's shoulder, and passed on his comfort to him silently.
"At that time, I was galloping in officialdom in high spirits." Li Dongyang raised his head and looked at Liu Lao gratefully, "Suddenly faced with this kind of thing, the first reaction was to refuse, but when I looked up at the old patriarch's eager gaze, the words of refusal stopped at the edge of my mouth." I knew that the old patriarch was in the prime of life at the time, and in order to stay behind, he married a beautiful concubine, but there was still no news, and finally confirmed that it was his own reason. Originally, it was feasible to inherit one from his own clan, but the old patriarch had a very good face, and he was afraid that it would affect his reputation. Therefore, it is understandable that this decision was made. ”
"However, in the end, you rejected him!" Liu Lao answered.
"Not bad!" Li Dongyang nodded, followed by a sigh, "But it was my refusal that made me regret it for life!" ”
"Do you really covet that little concubine's beauty?" Liu Lao's face was gloomy.
"Do you really mean that I am like that?" Li Dongyang's face was flushed and he said angrily.
"Well, I know, you're not like that, go on!" Liu Lao patted him and comforted.
Li Dongyang glared at him viciously, "After I refused, the old patriarch was just a little shocked, and he didn't say anything, but for some reason, after some time, it actually came out that the little concubine was happy, and I was shocked and went to ask the old patriarch." Yes, he did find someone who was willing to 'borrow'. ”
"Is that the man?"
"Exactly! This is the secret of why that person was able to rise so quickly in the Li clan. Li Dongyang nodded sadly, "The only condition that that person is willing to borrow seeds is to support him to make a difference in the Li clan. But he never thought that he would actually raise a tiger to make him bigger, and to this day, it actually threatens the status of the old patriarch, which is really unpredictable! ”
"That seed is Li Lin?" Liu Laoyi frowned and asked.
"Hmm!" Li Dongyang nodded, "After that, everything went well, but when the concubine gave birth, there was a blood collapse and her life was lost, but the baby was retained, so the old patriarch cherished this son very much, and loved him like a pearl in his palm, but the baby was also angry, and he was very smart and extremely likable since he was a child." But then"
Speaking of this, a trace of pain flashed in Li Dongyang's eyes.
"However, I have been holding a thorn in my heart and can't let go, in fact, this matter is none of my business at all, but I am not worthy of the old patriarch, so I have always respected Li Lin. Presumably, Li Lin is also aware of it, so although he is pampered and arrogant to others, he only dares to be presumptuous in front of me. ”
The pain in Li Dongyang's eyes flashed, "It's okay if this kind of well water doesn't interfere with river water, but the bad thing is that the bad thing is, that year, the old patriarch came to let me teach Li Lin knowledge, but I excused myself." But I never thought that Li Lin wanted to be famous for his talent back then, and asked me to tutor him, but I couldn't help. ”
"What hurts me the most is that according to Li Lin's intelligence, although he is not fully sure of the talent test, he has an eighty or ninety percent chance of being the first. However, that year, the main examiner was actually my political enemy, knowing that Li Lin was a member of my Li clan, he secretly stumbled and expelled Li Lin from the examination room for some reason, cutting off his road to fame. After that, after this blow, Li Lin collapsed, and spent the days together, and the old patriarch was worried. When I learned the truth, I was deeply remorseful, but it was no longer helpful. ”
"So you've been pampering him? But I didn't know that it hurt him even more! Liu Lao said with a disdainful face.
"No, if this were the case, Li Lin would never have become what he is now." Li Dongyang shook his head and said, "Rather, that person is making trouble in it." ”
"Him?" Liu Laoyi frowned.
"Yes, I don't know what that person has in mind, he actually connived at Li Lin in every way, and loved him a lot, but he only led him to the evil path, but the old patriarch thought that he was thinking about the relationship between father and son, so he was so kind to Li Lin, and even grateful to him. In this way, Li Lin gradually became cunning, greedy, and vicious. ”
"But you're also an accomplice!" Liu Lao made a decision.
"Yes, I have also been an accomplice, the Li clan has been in turmoil in recent years, but because of where Li Lin is, that person can actually stop in moderation, it is not too much, presumably I also hope that after a hundred years of the old patriarch, Li Lin can inherit the position of patriarch! I never thought that Li Lin would actually become an important node for the Li clan to maintain stability, so over the years, the three of us did not dare to act rashly, and always maintained a tacit understanding. I turned a blind eye to some of Li Lin's practices, hoping that the Li clan would not hurt his vitality. ”
"So, this time is the same!"
"I dealt with Li Lin this time, do you think those two will find me desperate? At that time, the balance will be destroyed, and I am afraid that the Li clan will never have peace from now on. If you were me, what would you do? Li Dongyang asked with a wry smile.
"Your Li clan is really messy!" Liu Lao sighed.
Both fell silent.
"By the way, have you explained these things to Ming Xiaoyou?" Liu Lao broke his calm and said.
"Do you think I'm going to make a fool of myself?"
"Also, you guy takes face too seriously, if it weren't for me, I guess you wouldn't have spoken!" Liu Lao thought so, "But did you really cut off contact with Ming Xiaoyou like this?" ”
"What else else?" Li Dongyang smiled wryly.
"Having said that, no matter what, I can't sit idly by and ignore Ming Xiaoyou. That's it, you deal with your family's affairs, I won't pull down what I should do, in the future, let's return to the bridge, the road to the road, the two have nothing to do with it! After speaking, Liu Lao stood up and walked outside.
Li Dongyang opened his mouth, wanting to stay, but he couldn't speak, and in the end, he sat down on the chair in a dejected manner.
"Father?" Li Zhaojin went to the lobby and saw Li Dongyang so decadent, and he was shocked, could it be that these two had already broken up? Otherwise, why is my father like this?
"It's okay, Lao Liu Tou is just a momentary anger, we won't have anything!" Li Dongyang cheered himself up and said with a strong smile.
Is it? Li Zhaoxian was deeply skeptical. Although Liu Lao was not full of anger when he came, he couldn't hide such a lonely look, obviously he had something in his heart, but his father didn't want to say it, and he couldn't ask!
Ming Zhongxin in the house.
"Who?" Li Yu looked at one place vigilantly.
"Me!" A voice sounded, and a person came out from behind the door, "Oh, isn't this the bright manager?"
"Oh, you're back?" Li Yu instantly lifted his guard and stepped forward to greet him affectionately.
"Good work!" Zhang Liang stepped forward and patted Li Yu's shoulder, and talked affectionately,
"You!" Li Yu pointed to Zhang Liang's face and said.
"Oh!" Zhang Liang touched his face and said with a smile, "Yo, I'm so happy that I forgot to take it off." ”
As he spoke, Zhang Liang lowered his head and took something off his face.
When I look up again, hey, isn't this Ming Zhongxin? It turned out that this Liang was actually Ming Zhongxin.
"You have to remember that you must take it off when you go home, otherwise Lord Zhang will think you are a thief who trespassed on the house! When the time comes, it will be a big misunderstanding! Li Yu laughed.
"What, Master Zhang is still there?" Ming Zhongxin put away the things in his hand and asked.
"No, I'm still waiting for news from the two Qinglou!" Li Yu said with a smile.
Ming Zhongxin stepped into the hall, but saw Shi Wenyi and Zhang Cai drinking tea separately and ignoring each other.
"What's the matter, I'm not here, and the two of you have an awkward relationship?" Ming Zhongxin said with a smile.
"You're back!" Zhang Cai said lazily.
"What does it look like?" Shi Wenyi glanced at Zhang Cai.
"What's the matter, you don't tell me anything, what else can I do, I have to sit!" Zhang Cai airway.
"Well, who won't tell you?" Ming Zhongxin said in a mocking tone.
"You guys!" Zhang Cai pointed around.
"Okay, come, let's discuss, what to do next?" Ming Zhongxin sat next to Shi Wenyi and said.
"Hmph, I won't listen!" Zhang Cai looked disdainful.
"Okay, since you don't want to hear it, then you can go back!" Ming Zhongxin's face was solemn.
"That's right! We're going to talk about confidential matters, and some idlers can leave! Shi Wenyi echoed.
"You guys!" Zhang Cai was angry.
"Master Zhang, they're joking with you! It's up to you to take the next step! Li Yu said in the round.
"Humph! Not uncommon! When Zhang Cai heard this, he stood up with great vigor and walked out.
"Really?" Shi Wenyi asked.
"Really!" Zhang Cai's steps slowed down a little, but his mouth was still firm.
"That's it, let's figure it out! I just don't know, if something happens to Miss Yuyan, what will happen to Huancai Pavilion? Ming Zhongxin sighed deeply.
"What? Yu Yan, what's wrong with Yu Yan? Zhang Cai turned around and rushed to Ming Zhongxin, grabbed his wrist, and asked anxiously.
"Didn't someone say it's not uncommon? Why are you in such a hurry now? Shi Wenyi sneered.
At this time, Zhang Cai ignored Shi Wenyi at all and stared at Ming Zhongxin tightly.
