Chapter 123 The Old Lady

"That's true." Mrs. Friday stood up, "You don't know, in that mansion, there is not even a car for the eldest girl. The eldest girl left in Miss Shao Qi's car. How harsh is this? Even the village woman in our village village cannot do such a shameful thing. I asked someone to bring some commonly used things, and some broken silver, and sent someone to deliver it to her. By the way, did I tell you? The mansion didn't give her any monthly money, and she and the people she brought didn't give her a penny of monthly money. Look at it..."

"Then you go pack your things quickly, get more money, and send it over early, so that the older girl can suffer less injustice." Mr. Li Wu was so dizzy by Mrs. Friday's barrage of words that he stood up and hugged Mrs. Friday. Push outward.

He hated these trivial matters the most, but he had to listen carefully to what his wife said. Fortunately, Mrs. Zhou seldom said these things. This time, he was probably really angry...

…………

The woman in charge sent by Mrs. Friday went to the Huainan Palace, and someone found Nanny Kong through the back corner door, and secretly gave her something.

Nanny Kong gave half a tael of silver to a rough envoy of the Huainan Palace, and asked her for help. She carried a big package by herself and went into Miss Shaoqi's yard.

Nanny Kong watched Li Yan sitting alone in the wing room reading a book, and entered the room with the bag of half taels of silver, which was worth 50 taels of silver.

"Miss, Mrs. Friday sent a lot of things over just now." Mother Kong said as she put a heavy bag of silver on the table next to Li Yan. "They are all daily things like rouge and gouache. There is also this bag of silver, saying that she is afraid that the eldest lady will not pack it all. These silver coins are half a tael or one tael. Mrs. Wu said that she had just prepared these and brought them back to prepare for the New Year. I was afraid that the eldest lady didn’t prepare these, so I packed some and gave them to the eldest lady for her enjoyment.”

Li Yan sat upright and reached out to grab a few small silver picks. The silver picks were beaten into auspicious shapes such as peanuts and soybeans. They were very shiny and beautiful.

"I had a lot of conversations with Su Momo the other day." Kong Momo took a small stick, sat down in front of Li Yan, and chatted leisurely, "Su Momo said, that old Mrs. When I was in my natal family, I was very self-willed. Whenever something happened, it was someone else's fault first. I couldn't see the good of others. As long as I failed to please her, no matter how good you treated her before, it would be wiped out. Because of this, the old lady who was in charge of the family back then refused to take care of her marriage, saying that it was her own ability, but if there was anything wrong, it would be you who harmed her."

Li Yan put down the silver hammer and listened intently to Grandma Kong's gossip. Although she had planned to leave soon, such gossip sounded very interesting.

"Marrying into the Li family is something that can't be helped. Listening to what Madam Su said, the old lady is very clear about the fact that the old man has a wife in Nanyang." Madam Kong pouted, and Li Yan smiled slightly. meaning.

"I heard that when she first married into Li's family, the old lady over there in the long house treated her very well. The old lady, the son-in-law, died and lived again, and came back again. The embarrassment of the adoptive old lady, I don't think so. I can figure out that the old lady in the long house was chosen by the clan's wife back then. At that time, the old lady already had a title. No, this old lady must have seven points."

Grandma Kong sighed, "Forget it, that old lady was mean to her concubines and concubines. It is said that the old lady loved taking concubines back then. It was said that he was the only direct descendant of the Li family, so she must have a lot of openness. Branches and leaves, like this, others would often give him one or two beauties. The concubine and concubine had many children, and many concubines survived, but the concubine, the only ones who survived were the fourth and sixth masters. Well, the sixth master’s mother is Mrs. Chen’s little girl. She has been careful all her life. The sixth master is a man who can’t be beaten with a stick, but he still survives. The fourth master has a powerful uncle who teaches the fourth master to pretend to be crazy and act stupid. Until I passed the Juren examination."

Mother Kong laughed and said, "The eldest lady looks at this family. She is quite polite to the eldest lady now, just as she was to the concubine in the past."

Li Yan laughed and nodded repeatedly.

"From the time I came here, I have thought that the fifth wife is a good person, and the eldest wife, Mrs. Shen, is not bad to the eldest lady, but it is not their eldest daughter's business to be in the way, and secondly, The old lady's temper will save you one trouble. In fact, most of our families are like this. Some are bad and some are good. Miss, don't think too much."

Aunt Kong returned to the main topic with a few words, and Li Yan bowed slightly to express his gratitude, "I understand what you mean, don't worry." Li Yan paused and was silent for a moment. He swallowed the words that came to his mouth, and Pei Qinghe Zhou Rui is different. Zhou Rui will help himself, but Pei Qing will only help himself.She is Pei Qing's person.

Aware of Li Yan's hesitation, Mother Kong pretended not to know, said a few more words, and left.

Li Yan instructs Yushu to put away the bag of silver locks, "Find a chance, take it out and exchange it for gold leaf, it's convenient to carry with you."

"Don't save any rewards?" Yushu asked casually while collecting.

"No, we haven't reached the point where we can buy money with money. There will be more places to use money in the future." Li Yan then flipped through the history books of the previous dynasties, the previous dynasties, and the previous dynasties in his hand , Pick the part with old Li Xiangguo and young Li Xiangguo and look carefully.

…………

Another Jinshi of the Li family, the fourth master Li Changgui, was leading an envoy under the second master of the Yuan family, Yuan Yanshi, the chief agricultural officer. In the afternoon, the fourth master Li took a look at the second master Yuan who was free. He came in on the pretext of some small business and rushed to the chief agricultural officer Yuan. Bowing to the end, Yuan Si Nong looked at the solemn Li Siye who was bowing to the end inexplicably, "What's going on?"

"I'm ashamed." Fourth Master Li looked embarrassed, "It's my eldest niece, thanks to the Huainan Palace's generous action, I took her to the palace. One sound is good, the other end is about filial piety, but this end is about human life, filial piety is damaged, the damage is mine, but human life..."

Fourth Master Li looked at Master Yuan Er with a miserable expression, "The matter of our family... the Nanyang branch, when my father was in the most difficult time, he took good care of me, and it was a great favor to my Li family. Later... this Zhi now only has her eldest niece, a girl, why can't she live properly? She didn't do anything wrong to the Li family, it was the Li family who owed her, I really..."

Fourth Master Li covered his face with one hand, unable to speak further.

Mr. Yuan Er was originally very unhappy with Li Changgui's obvious behavior of accusing his aunt's mother. When he heard this, his eyes were red, and he felt that Li Changgui was somewhat chivalrous.
