Second, Li Yi suppressed his anger and turned back to Fang Peng

He didn't have the face to go to see the old lady in the backyard, and before Sun wanted to buy ginseng for Li Cheng, Li Chai who asked him Although he knew that his son was weak, he still forbade her to buy it, in addition to taking care of filial piety, he also took care of several other sons

Now, the livelihood of more than a dozen members of the family depends on the second son Li Yu to earn money, and Li Yu will hand over the money he earns to his mother-in-law, Sun

The eldest ones are okay, they all marry wives and have children, and a pair of twins are the age they should study, but they are temporarily unable to go to school, although they are not Li Yi's biological flesh and blood, they are his own nephews

Ginseng is expensive, good ginseng is a luxury, and the Li family today can't afford this at all

Now that the old lady lives and uses the old lady's, it has made his grandchildren's shame and unfilial wife......

Li Yi's eyes turned red, and then he heard brisk footsteps outside

Immediately, I saw Sun pick up the curtain and come in, holding a brocade box in his hand, his face was full of joy, and said, "Master, my aunt and grandmother sent two good ginseng,"

Li Yi raised his head and looked at her smile, only to feel extremely dazzling

Sun's unhappiness with her husband was unaware, opened the brocade box, sent it to him, and said with a smile: "It was taken by the old aunt from Wang Qi, it is enough to have the thickness of a child's arm, where can I buy such good ginseng outside?" ”

Li Yi dragged the brocade box and snorted coldly: "This is what the old aunt and grandmother used to honor the old lady, how did it get into your hands?" ”

When Sun heard this, he was a little sneering, and said, "The old lady is the most thrifty, how can she use this?" So the old lady told me to take it, and said that if it was taken outside, one would be worth dozens of taels of silver."

Li Yi saw that she had no intention of repenting, sighed, and said: "You have kept filial piety for your mother for three years, I can't be a wife, from today onwards, you are good to give birth to the Buddha, and let the eldest daughter-in-law take care of the housework."

Hearing this, Sun's eyes widened, and he said sharply, "What is this that the master said?" Which of the seven concubines has committed a crime, so that the master will open his mouth and divorce his wife? ”

"The old lady is the elder of the Li family, for the sake of our children and grandchildren, she gave up the life of Caofu and the clothes and food, and took out the coffin to settle the Li family, but you are not grateful, and you do disobedient things, it is for unfilial piety; You are a mother-in-law, but you only take care of your own son, and you regard your concubine as nothing, because you are not kind If you don't care about your filial piety for three years, why can't you be a loser" The more Li Yi said, the more annoyed he became, and he was already trembling with anger

Sun's face turned white, especially his mouth was stiff, and he said, "Why is the master spewing blood?" How can concubines not be filial, how can they not be kind? Is it a sin to bother to worry about this big family? ”

Li Yi had no intention of arguing with her, didn't look at her, got up and picked up the curtain and went out

Backyard main house, east house

Li Chengzheng and his wife He Shi were talking with Gao Shi and looking at Li Cheng's sallow little face, Gao Shi was very distressed: "Look at you, your eyes are full, you won't end until next year, and you have to take care of your body and bones for more than half a year."

Li Cheng nodded and said: "What the ancestor said is that the grandson listens to the ancestor, and the family will settle it early in the evening, and the ancestor will walk in the morning and wait for a few days to be cooler, and the grandson will accompany the ancestor to the West Mountain to incense and say that the scenery over there is good, and it will also let the ancestor scatter."

When Gao Shi heard this, there was a bit of yearning in his eyes, but he shook his head and said, "I have old arms and legs, where can I still shop?" It's the great-granddaughter-in-law, who has been married to you for a few years, either taking medicine before the bed or being frightened, if you want to go out one day, I will take the great-granddaughter-in-law there."

Li Cheng said with a smile: "The ancestor is eccentric, and if he has a great-grandson daughter-in-law, he will not have the great-grandson Cheng'er in his heart,"

The ancestor was laughing when he heard someone coughing at the door, and it was Li Yi coming

Li Cheng and He Shi hurriedly stood up, and Li Yi entered the house and set them up for them to go out

Seeing his dark face, Li Cheng didn't dare to say more, and took his daughter-in-law back to the wing

Gao raised his head, saw that his eyebrows and eyes were angry, and looked at Li Yi with great confusion Li Yi walked to the side of the kang, knelt down with a "plop", and choked up: "The grandmother is not virtuous, which makes the old lady wronged"

When Gao Shi heard this, his expression froze, and then he sighed heavily, and said: "I am already a half-buried person, and I don't have to make the two of you talk about these days for me, maybe I am too wordy, and my daughter-in-law is a little unhappy in her heart, it is also common This Li family is your Li family after all, you are the head of the Li family, although my old wife said that she came back to live, she shouldn't say anything."

As soon as he spoke, Li Bi became more and more embarrassed, leaned on the ground, and cried bitterly

Gao looked at his gray head, thinking of the cold eyes of his granddaughter-in-law and great-granddaughter-in-law looking at him, and only felt tired...

The next day, Li brought his son and daughter-in-law to pick him up in person, and Gao was silent for half a time, but decided to say goodbye to the Li family and follow his daughter and grandson-in-law back to Cao's house

It was Cao Liang's idea to come and pick up someone, according to Li's idea, she wanted to pick up people at the end of the month, but she returned with anger, Cao Mei noticed that her mother's mood was not right, and asked why, knowing this, after thinking about it, she suggested that Li come and pick up people early

Since the Gao family is not happy to live in the Li family, it is better to take it back as soon as possible; If you wait until you tear your face, you don't know how sad the old man will be, after all, in the eyes of the old man, he has always treated the children and grandchildren of the Li family as his own children and grandchildren

Although he had always been wary of the Gao family in his early years, the old lady's decisiveness and benevolence in handling the affairs of the Li family also deeply touched Cao Yi

said that he loved his son Feng because of his mother, and said that he respected the old man's demeanor, Cao Xian couldn't bear to be cold

Seeing the old man standing up and getting into the carriage, Sun couldn't help but be frightened, scolding herself half to death, why was she so confused, this was not only the second old lady who had lived in the Li family for decades, but also the grandmother of the head of the Cao family

In the past few months since the Li family entered Beijing, it was thanks to the support of the Cao family; Even if his son's future is uncertain, he has to rely on the Cao family

Sun couldn't regret it, and took two steps forward, but was pulled by Li Yi and looked at her husband with cold eyes like a knife, Sun really wanted to cry without tears, and turned his head to look at his son pitifully

Li Cheng didn't look at her at all, but watched the carriage of Cao's Mansion gradually move away with red eyes."

In the carriage, Gao took Li's hand and couldn't help but cry

Li also thought that she was reluctant to let everyone in the Li family take out a handkerchief to wipe the old man's tears, and persuaded: "It's not far away, if the old lady misses them, let someone come and pick them up."

Gao shook his head and said, "I don't know what happened to Changsheng and Tianbao?" Does Tianbao still recognize me as an ancestor? The day after Li returned to Beijing for the funeral, he sent someone to Haidian to pick up Tianbao

Tianbao has only lived a long life, and he is still too carried, unlike other children who go to school

"I must remember, I haven't seen me for half a month, and I still wonder if he will recognize him, but when he sees me, he will drill into my arms and learn to speak, the little guy is very clever," Li smiled and said the interesting story of Tianbao

Gao Shi listened, his expression gradually softened, and he said half-loudly: "You are blessed to have a good daughter-in-law."

"Being able to marry Yi'er is also a blessing for a daughter-in-law This Qing Dynasty, like Yi'er, know, has to be considerate of his wife, how many have not been married for more than ten years?" When it comes to his son, Li is also proud in his heart

After Li's carriage, Cao Mei was suspicious of the sun, and instead of riding a horse, he sat in Chu Yu's carriage

Bamboo curtains were used inside and outside the carriage, and ice basins were placed in the carriage, but I didn't feel the heat

"The Li family is really a dou who can't be helped, and the old lady's heart is blind in vain" Cao sighed and said: "The old lady is also a strong network, and her mother makes people come over every once in a while to ask for peace, and she doesn't say half a word It's not a cowardly person in our early years, and she didn't fake her to you, the grandson and daughter-in-law of the county king, but she was angry in the Li family these days, and she couldn't bear it."

Chu Yu didn't comment well, so he only said: "It's good that my grandmother came back, in the final analysis, after all, this side is just a clan, not a serious child or grandchild."

The group returned to Caofu and went directly to the Shaoyuan

Qingmei and Qingtao waited at the gate of the courtyard with a few little maids, and when they saw everyone, they all bowed their knees

Since the few maids brought by the Li family are old, after they returned to the Li family to match people, Gao's side has been served by Qingmei and Qingtao for a few years, and Gao's heart also treats them as half a grandson and a daughter

Now, seeing that everything in the Peony Courtyard is as before, the two intimate maids are there, and the Gao family is like a world away."

After Cao Po and his wife sent Gao back to Shaoyuan, they returned to Wutong Garden

Cao Po only then talked about his business trip half a month later, and when he heard that her husband went to the Northwest Army, Chu Yu was startled and said, "Master, won't this go like the eldest brother did before, going for several years?" ”

"I'm just on a business trip, where to use it for so long, if it's almost before the end of the year, I can come back before the end of the year, if it's slow, next summer will be for farming, and I have to stay in the farming time," Cao Po said

Although it will not be a husband and wife for a few years, it will also be a year and a half, and Chu Yu can't help but feel worried

Cao Po got up, walked behind his wife, held her shoulders and said, "This big family, old and young, will have to worry about you."

Chu Yu said: "That's my business, to be careful, it is said that the bitter cold in the northwest is still half a month of effort, so let people pick a few good skins from the warehouse, sew winter clothes for the master, and bring them to the master."

"Don't" Cao Yi shook his head and said: "If the master in the palace knows that I have prepared so properly, maybe I will really stay in charge of the northwest for a few years, as long as I bring two sets of autumn clothes, if I really don't come back in winter, it will not be too late to send it to someone."

Chu Yu thought about it, but he still decided that even if he didn't bring it over, he would sew it out as soon as possible, so that while Cao Yi was still at home, he could modify it if it didn't fit after sewing

While the husband and wife were talking, a maid came to report, and Steward Wei took people in the front yard, waiting to see Cao Yi

This Wei is in charge of Wei Hei, Cao Yi listened, and said to Chu Yu with a smile: "Could it be that Second Brother Wei is here?" A few days ago, Wei Er wrote to me that he wanted to bring his two sons over to pay my birthday greetings."

I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and Cao Yi also misses Wei Bai a lot

When he arrived at the living room in the front yard, he was in vain, and after asking the little guy, he learned that Wei Hei took someone to the side hall

Among the people in Cao Mansion, Cao Mei's feelings for the two brothers Wei Hei and Wei Bai are no less than those of the biological parents of this body, just because these two have been by his side since he was seven years old, and treat him like a brother

Although he had no choice but to expel Wei Bai, Cao Yi did not forget his years of care

As a result, it was not Wei Bai who came, but another acquaintance

The gray head and rickety figure have completely lost the elegance of the early years, but the ugly scars on the half of the face still make Cao Yi recognize people at a glance."
