Chapter 4

The women of the Li family chatted a few words under the jujube tree and went to prepare dinner while watching the sky.

To say that the most difficult aspect of traveling through ancient times is the lack of electricity. In this season, if you don’t eat while the sun is still there, you can only work with dim oil lamps.

Cherish this bit of light, and at the end of Shenshi (17:00), we will start preparing. After finishing, we will finish eating just before sunset, and we can still leave a quarter of an hour for gossip.

Before the meal was ready, the four young men of the Li family chased after me and came back. They first greeted their grandfather, Aye, and uncle in the medical hall in front, and then went around to greet their grandmother, Aye in the back yard. Mothers, aunts, and aunts greeted each other.

This behavior has always made the second sister-in-law very emotional, and feels that reading and literacy are really good for people, not like the silly kid in the past, who grew up in a trance.

It's just that today the four little ones didn't tease little Luzhu'er after seeing the ceremony, which is a little different from the past.

In the past, because the age gap between their brothers was not too big, and they grew up inseparable since childhood, apart from Li Dalang who could suppress them by force, no one would obey anyone.

Recently, Luzhu'er was brought to live with Li's family by Li Sanniang. They were all delighted to have such a fair, tender, cute and young girl. Every day when she came back from school, she wanted you to hold me for a while. Li, who was only eight years old a few days ago, Shiro also said that he would teach Luzhuer to read.

What was different today was that the four brothers did not tease Lu Zhuer as usual after seeing the ceremony, but hurriedly hid in their own room, and even felt a little dodged from Mother Li's eyes.

Seeing such nephews, Li Sanniang winked at Mother Li, raised the corners of her mouth and forced herself down, and whispered in Mother Li's ear: "Mother, I'm afraid my nephews may have caused trouble, and I'm afraid you will scold me."

"How old are you? I have been a mother for several years, and I still messed with your nephews." Faced with Li Sanniang's whisper, Li's mother stretched out her index finger and tapped Li Sanniang's forehead pretendingly.

Li Sanniang bowed her head in order to let Mother Li order it.

After a long while, the four little ones had changed out of the scholar's robes they made for the Dragon Boat Festival last month, and came out in short brown clothes that were easy to move around. The three older ones went to the backyard, and worked together to fetch water and carry buckets to clean the two large water tanks in the kitchen. full.

Li Silang, who was still young, couldn't lift the full bucket because his stature hadn't grown up yet, so he took Lu Zhuer by the side to applaud his brothers and cheer them up.

Not long after the four little ones filled the two tanks of water, Father Li and Brother Li happened to send off the two boys, and returned to the main hall after closing the door.

Father Li looked at the sky, and said to Da Lang, "Don't wait for you, Aye, let's set the meal. It's getting hotter, let's put the table in the yard, it can be a bit windy and cooler."

The dozen or so members of the Li family had finished their meal, and each of them was enjoying the cool in the yard with a bowl of mung bean soup. The eldest brother of the Li family finally returned home.

Li Dalang and Li Erlang hurriedly scooped up water for his father to wash his hair and face, and the other handed a towel to wipe the water drops. They were very attentive.

Li Sanlang, Li Silang and Xiao Luzhu'er also stood in a row to salute their uncle.

Brother Li only smiled at Luzhu, patted his head at Li Sanlang and Li Silang, and only nodded at his son.

Even if the brothers in the current family are not biological, the cousins ​​are very close, let alone the undivided Li family who have always lived with their parents.

Although Brother Li's situation is a bit special, the children in the family are not different. Because Li's father and Li mother taught by example, the family is harmonious and less discordant.

Brother Li is the child of Li's mother and ex-husband Sun Datou. Sun Datou was originally a border soldier. Because he was a border citizen, he had Beidi blood in his ancestors. He married Li's mother, and later followed Shangguan back to the border to expel the Turks, and unfortunately died in order to save Paozhe.

Because of this love, although Brother Li grew up in Li's family, he did go to the Shangguan's house to practice martial arts with Sun Datou's robe.When he became an adult, relying on his love and his own strength, he joined the Jinwu Guard. In addition to guarding the Golden Light Gate, he also patrolled and guarded the capital day and night.

At this time, Mrs. Li had already put the meals reserved in the pot on the table.

Everyone waited for Brother Li to finish his meal. Second Brother Li explained what happened during the day. Brother Li took a sip of the mung bean soup. The sweet and soft taste instantly conquered the taste buds. Father Li said: "Aye, I have changed shifts with someone else, I can go with you tomorrow."

Father Li nodded, indicating that he understood.

Seeing that everyone had almost finished the mung bean soup in their hands, Father Li stood up and told Brother Li: "It rains at night, take the dried herbs back to the wing room." After speaking, he went back to the room first.

It was night, and it really started to rain, not a little, with lightning and thunder, but Luzhu'er slept soundly, and was not affected at all.

Li Sanniang was lying on the bed, listening to the sound of rain outside the house, smelling the smell of mud, closing her eyes, thinking about the "system" in her mind, a virtual light screen appeared out of thin air in the consciousness space, it was still the same interface, still untouchable gray.

There is only one "unfinished" task of "successful reconciliation, you can get a big gift package lottery draw".

After replaying what happened today, Li Sanniang also fell asleep with her arms around Little Luzhuer accompanied by the sound of the pattering rain.

Early the next morning, there was light rain and the air was fresh.

After breakfast, all the adults from the Li family and little Luzhu'er gathered in the main hall except for the four little ones who went to the academy.

Father Li sat at the head, looked around the whole family, and said: "Today, Dalang's wife and Erlang's wife are at home with Luzhuer.

Your mother has already found out the original dowry list, first went to pick up Fangzheng and your uncle, and after the Wang family settled the matter, Dalang, you take the name card of your cousin (Li Lingxiao, the eldest son of Uncle Li) with you. Let Sanniang go to the Ministry of Households to find Li Lingshi's red deed.

Erlang, go and count Sanniang's dowry and other things, first pack up Sanniang's box of silver and give it to her, so that she can take it to the government office to pay a security deposit, so that she can bring Luzhuer home.

In addition, there is no need to open the door before noon today, you hang up the rest sign. "

There were two donkey carts parked outside the gate of Li's house, which was agreed yesterday afternoon.

First pick up Sun Fangzheng at Fangmen, then pick up Uncle Li at Zhuque Street, and two donkey carts go to Chongyefang.

When they arrived at the place, they got out of the cart one by one, and agreed with the handlebar of the donkey cart to wait by the wall here, so that they could go back and carry Li Sanniang's dowry.

The pharmacy of Wang's family was open normally. Brother Li went up to tell the young man his name, and he was directly invited into the main hall behind the pharmacy.

The mother-in-law of the Wang family, Wang Dalang, Mrs. Wang, and Wang Erlang were all there. Wang Dalang welcomed the Li family and Sun Fangzheng in. Everyone sat down one by one, and the little girl served green tea.

No one made a sound, and silence filled the audience.

Li Sanniang was still slandering in her heart, "This is the posture of the negotiation, whoever speaks first will lose."

Wang Dalang couldn't hold back, and opened his mouth with a smirk.

"Uncle Li, we have been in-laws for so many years, and when I, Aye, was alive, I was a close friend with my uncle, otherwise we would not be able to form in-laws.

Erlang is confused, my brother and sister are virtuous people, let's talk good things, let's just make trouble, I will take [-] acres of land outside the city that Wang Jiagong has accounted for, and put it under the name of my brother and sister, do you think it's okay?

Erlang, I have already taught him a lesson. He already knows his mistake. He will definitely treat his siblings well in the future. Thinking about Lu Zhuer, it is better to have a complete family. Uncle, what do you think? "

"Heh." Then there was the sound of the teacup being thrown heavily on the table.

Father Li hadn't spoken yet. Brother Li, who was born as a warrior, couldn't bear it anymore and let out such a mocking sound.

"Wang Dalang, when Uncle Wang was seriously ill, I, Aye, gave me three old ginseng, but I didn't ask for a penny. You own a pharmacy. Don't you know if those three old ginseng are worth twenty mu of land?
Not to mention that Sanniang paid her uncle's death and kept her filial piety.

How did your aunt treat Sanniang? Do you think our family won't know if Sanniang doesn't tell you?
Wang Erlang looks so heartless, does he seem to know that he is wrong?
My family was blind, and found such a heartless person for Sanniang.

Did Wang Erlang forget how he cut his heart and lungs in front of us, father and son, to promise to treat Sanniang well?

Is this good to get out with my cousin? ! "

Li Erxiong was sharp-tongued, and with a sharp tongue, he pushed back all Wang Dalang's sophistry.

The mother-in-law Wang couldn't bear Brother Li's sharp words, so she became angry and pointed at Li Sanniang, pointing her fingers at Li Sanniang and saying, "What if you, Li Sanniang, are filial to my Wang family?

After three years of marriage, I gave birth to a little girl, who didn't even give birth to my Erlang, what face do I have to come to my Wang family?
And away?impossible!

It's my Erlang who abandoned you, a little woman who can't give birth to babies.

It is impossible to give you even a single point of land outside the city!

Luzhu'er is a girl and also of the blood of my royal family, she wants to take her away, dreaming! "

Pa, the sound of the teacup falling to the ground and shattering blocked the high-pitched, almost hysterical scolding of Grandma Wang.

Mother Li looked at the fragments of teacups and water stains on the ground, smiled and said softly to Grandma Wang who was still accusing Li Sanniang just now: "Oh, my hand is slippery.

Sun Zhaodi, you yourself have a bad mouth, so don't talk too much, if you don't talk about polluting the house, you'll just make trouble for your big brother. "

Turning her head around, she said kindly to Wang Dalang's dumbfounded expression: "Wang Dalang, you are a good person, my aunt knows it.

For Wang Erlang, a prodigal who is not motivated, heartless, and will cause trouble, is it really worth it if you get angry and get angry?
When you, Aye, were alive, it was his responsibility. When he is gone, you are just a big brother.

The sages encouraged the common people to separate and live separately.How old is Wang Erlang, and Erlang is already old, can you still clean up his mess for the rest of his life? "

Mother Li looked at Wang Dalang's thoughtfulness, and continued to say: "Aunt also watched you grow up, you have three kids to worry about, you don't think about yourself, you have to think more about your children and grandchildren.

Wang Erlang didn't serve as an official or butcher, and he dared to hang out with widows for nothing. Your Wang family's reputation is gone?
If you go to Fangzheng to talk about this matter, it won't be easy.

Apart from Lu Zhu'er, your family has no other young ladies, but the three boys in your family will not talk about kissing in the future?
Don't study anymore?Do you still want to move forward? "

As soon as Li's mother finished speaking, Li Sanniang followed closely: "Sanniang, let me call you big brother for the last time, big brother, you know who I am, and I dare to say frankly that since I married into the Wang family, I have done a good job. When it came to everything a daughter-in-law should do, I didn't give birth to the eldest son for the prince?

Did you all forget the baby in my stomach when I crashed that dirty thing? "Speaking of this, it seemed that I felt the feelings of the original Li Sanniang, and my heart was sore, and the tears fell.

Li Sanniang, who was stroking her belly lightly, said in pain: "How do you know that child is not a boy?

I can no longer live with Wang Ziheng.

Since you don't care about my Luzhu'er anymore, why don't you let her go home with me? "

Li Sanniang finished speaking with a sob, wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, looked at Wang Erlang resolutely and said, "Wang Ziheng, you blamed me first!
I just want to leave this sad place with my dew.

As long as you agree to make peace with me and let me take Lu Zhuer away, I will allow you to visit her often.

I will also keep my mouth shut about the ridiculous things about you and your cousin. "
