Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 288 The Li Family
Li Chengbi rolled his eyes, ignored the young man's madness, directly dropped Li Chengfang to them, and went straight to the study to meet the eldest son in the mansion first.

Everyone in the Li family seemed very peaceful, as if today was an ordinary day, young ladies and gentlemen, those who went to school to study, those who practiced martial arts, and those who went out to socialize and socialize.

The eldest lady went shopping directly with her natal sister-in-law.

Li Chengbi went directly into the study along the veranda. The weather today is not very good and it is very overcast. Even though it was only past noon, the light in the study still seemed a bit dim.

The main house of the Li family is much bigger than that of Li Chengbi's. After all, it was bought by the old man when the Li family was still in prosperity. The house may be smaller than the houses of nobles, but it is already better than many other houses in the capital.

But it is an old house after all, no matter how well maintained it is, there are still all kinds of obsolete traces.

A lot of tiles have been replaced, some places do not have good tiles to match, and the corners of the walls are also mottled everywhere.

Li Chengyi was sitting on the armchair by the window, holding a book and reading, and smiled when he saw Li Chengbi coming in: "I'm back? I asked Li Maocai to settle her in the lotus pond first, so that she would be far away from Furong, so as to save her from having any problems." The fault that I didn't see for a while, has caused the sisters in the family to suffer."

"Let's leave the person to dry for ten days and a half months. After we have cooked the person, we will teach him slowly. I think he will be more obedient."

Li Chengbi didn't say a word, picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself two cups of tea, sighed: "It's a bit difficult."

Sister Huan looked at it, compared with those noble girls in the capital, there are indeed a lot of problems, but the Li family wants to teach her, I am afraid it will not be easy.

Before he could say anything, Li Maocai arrived in a hurry, entered the door and greeted the two sons, and looked at Li Chengbi with pitiful eyes.

He stumbled and carefully said that he hadn't seen Sister Huan at all, but Li Chengyi was speechless for a while.

Li Chengbi smiled wryly: "Don't look at me, that's a big living person..."

"You."

Li Chengyi really felt that this cousin was too pedantic and was taught badly by his father, "If he doesn't come, you won't kidnap him? My little lady, is it possible that the Kaifeng government will control you?"

Li Chengbi rolled his eyes lightly: "But I don't want to die yet. I can't be tied up even if I want to die."

Li Chengyi: "..."

He suddenly realized that something was wrong.

He still knows his brother's temperament. This cousin has a gentle personality and is quite a gentleman, but his priorities are clear enough, he is also very concerned about family affairs, and he is generally more obedient.

"what happened?"

Li Chengbi simply sat down and asked the people below to prepare food and drinks: "I guess by this time, most people in the capital should know about it."

He told the story of the city gate in a straightforward manner, Li Chengyi blinked lightly, and thought: This story is really attractive.Put the tiles there, it will attract a lot of guests.

Li Chengyi picked up a bowl of tea and took two sips without taste.

Li Chengbi whispered: "Brother, you always want our family to abandon martial arts and follow literature. After three generations, if our family is mentioned by others, it can also be said that it is a family of poetry and etiquette. , is it plausible to do this at home?"

Li Chengyi was silent for a moment, his eyes were dark: "The old lady has already shown her to Sister Huan, the eldest grandson of the Lu family."

Li Chengbi was stunned.

"Lu Family?"

For a moment he didn't know what to say.

After noon, the weather is not so cold.

The old dog directed the people around him to check the house, and said with a frown: "The house on the east side is obviously bigger and newer, why buy this one? Our budget is still enough. This one is big enough, but it's all over the place. The corner has been deserted for more than ten years."

However, he was just talking in vain, and what was more important was to explain the news he had just found out.

"Little lady, have you heard of the Lu family?"

Gu Xiang turned his head towards the teahouse next to him.

At this time, the old man playing the huqin at the gate of the teahouse was singing about the affairs of the Lu family.

When the Lu family was prominent, everyone was obedient to Zi. As a result, there were natural disasters and then man-made disasters overnight. Not only was the family property lost, but also the family of the third family died.

Even though there are many idlers in the capital, and there are many dental professions, Gu Xiang looks like a "strong soldier and a strong horse". Even outsiders, no one dares to fool him, but tossing the house is still a big project. Gu Xiang has been sitting for a long time, and he also listens to the The old man sang for most of the day.

I always feel that if what the old man sings is true, then the patriarch would have to spend most of his time just saving people every day. No wonder everyone said that he lived for most of his life without accomplishing anything. A poor old beggar who has to stand up at night to stand up for a few poor scholars who have been wronged.Where else can he find some time to earn fame and fortune?

"However, Lu Yun and Lu Yebo, the sons of the Lu family's generation, are one of the most famous sons in the capital. Among the young masters, only the young master of the Lu family can stand shoulder to shoulder with Di Yahuai."

The old dog raised his head, and Zhao Susu followed, "We have inquired. Recently, rumors have spread from the Li family that Mr. Li Ning, who has escaped into the void, had a marriage contract with Master Lu. It has been agreed that Li Ning will marry a daughter. To the son of the Lu family."

Gu Xiang: "..."

Zhao Susu said with a smile: "If the Li family can successfully recognize the young lady this time, and both families of this marriage contract have to recognize it, then the young lady's future husband... will be Mr. Lu who is a master of painting and calligraphy."

Gu Xiang: Mr. Lu and Mr. Li are all out of the question.

"Tell me about the Li family."

The affairs of the Lu family are not important, but the affairs of the Li family are more important.

"Li Zhou, the old man of the Li family, had three sons and four concubine sons with the old lady. Now there are many dead, and only the third son Li Quan is left in the Li family. He has been a playboy since he was a child. He, but he resigned after not being an official for two years, and now he is at home, playing with birds and walking dogs every day, so leisurely and carefree."

"The three sons of the third generation, the eldest son Li Chengyi is the eldest grandson of Li's parents, the third son Li Chengfang is also the son of the eldest son, and the second son Li Chengan is the bastard son of Li Quan."

"In this third generation, the eldest son, Li Chengyi, took over the title of Lieutenant of Qingche, and was just promoted to the rank of fifth-rank Hubu Zuosi Langzhong. His official position is not high, but he is a real job in the Hubu. Don't look at the Li family in the army. There are quite a lot of old ministries, and most of the Li family's status comes from their military exploits, and that's just because they have a lot of connections in the army. Li Chengyi's ability to join the household ministries is more due to his own ability."

Zhao Susu recounted the Li family's affairs in detail, and said softly: "Young lady suddenly went to Beijing, I wonder if there is any regulation?"

"Sooner or later, I will come. After you settle down, go to Li's house to visit."

Gu Xiang smiled, "No matter who my biological father and mother are, this year's festival, being born is not as big as raising grace. As the saying goes, if you don't have desires, you can be strong. My surname is Gu, because the officials say this truth, and this truth is also here."
