Early Ming Dynasty: Turning Clouds and Rains into New Learning Saints

Chapter 48 The old cow eats the tender grass

Although Li Laifu was hiding in the car and putting on airs, he was still paying attention to people outside the car.

At this time, when he heard that Zhang Yifan left after leaving his last sentence, he didn't take him and his backstage seriously at all, and he immediately became angry.

He really didn't expect that the wealthy family in the city standing behind Liujia Village turned out to be the Duke of Zheng. No wonder this country boy dared to be so arrogant!

But what's wrong with the Duke of Zheng's palace? Behind him is the most important figure in the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and he is also the most powerful prime minister in the civil service of the Ming Dynasty.Others would definitely not dare to do anything when they heard that they were from Duke Zheng, but putting on airs in front of the Li Mansion was not enough!

The royal relatives in Nanjing would send people to have a good talk with Li Laifu, but now this country boy actually neglected him so much. More importantly, seeing that this matter was about to get dirty, it was related to his future.

Therefore, Li Laifu opened the car curtain and got out, still standing in the car, facing Zhang Yifan's back and shouted sternly: "That boy, I miss you young, I will give you another chance, come and talk!"

Zhang Yifan heard it, but he was very busy and the man still talked to him with this attitude, so he didn't bother to pay attention.

Li Laifu watched Zhang Yifan walk away with a sinister look in his eyes.Obviously, this is in line with the old saying: It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain.

He turned to look at the cement workshop, and then at the eye-catching Liujia Village. Finally, he said viciously: "Let's go back to find the young master!"

........................

At this time, his young master, that is, Li You, was at his uncle's house, that is, Li Shanchang's mansion, and was talking to his cousin, that is, Li Shanchang's eldest son, Li Qi, the son of the Korean prince.

I heard him smile at Li Qi and say, "I heard that big brother will do something good soon?"

"What's the good thing? Why didn't I know?" After hearing this, Li Qi still drank tea leisurely, as if there was really nothing to be happy about.

"Brother, please stop hiding it!" Li You saw it and said with a somewhat understanding expression, "Then why did eldest brother divorce his wife? Is he unruly? I haven't heard of it!"

Hearing this, Li Qi confirmed that her cousin had heard something, put down her teacup, and said lightly: "You can't show family ugliness. You don't know, isn't it normal?"

"Am I an outsider?" Seeing that his cousin refused to admit it, Li You had no choice but to say, "I heard that it's time for your majesty's eldest princess to get married, right?"

Hearing this, Li Qi looked at his cousin and saw that he kept staring at her. He still said calmly: "Since you already know some things, you don't need to say them. In order to avoid any changes in the future, everyone will face It won’t look good!”

This is tantamount to an admission in disguise.

After hearing this, Li You said nonchalantly: "Brother, you are really worrying too much. As long as the eldest son of our Li family is here, who else can she marry? You are the most suitable one, right?"

At this point, he raised his voice and said in a decisive tone: "Let me put my words here, if the eldest brother doesn't marry, who dares to marry? Let's see, who dares to slap our Li family in the face?" After finishing speaking, He looked at Li Qi's face and continued: "I have also made an estimate for the eldest brother. As of now, there are only a few suitable candidates for the eldest princess to marry. The one with the highest title is only you. Nanhou Mei Sizu is just the son, is it possible that he still dares to compete with his eldest brother for jealousy? As for the others, our Li family has already made a gesture. Is it possible that other families will follow suit and divorce their wives and openly rob them from my Li family? Haha, who do I want to see? dare?"

What he said is indeed reasonable.In terms of achievements, connections, and importance to the emperor, no one can compare with the Li family.

If the emperor's first eldest daughter marries someone, she can only marry into the Li family!

Hearing that his cousin had analyzed it so clearly, Li Qi finally showed a hint of pride and said, "It's good that you know. My father has told me about this matter. We need to keep a low profile and don't make people think that our Li family is forcing His Majesty to marry him." Female, otherwise once you make Your Majesty lose face and offend His Majesty, no one will be able to reap the benefits! He is not a merciful master!"

With the accurate letter, Li You immediately laughed and said: "I know, this way, our Li family will be the well-deserved first family in the Ming Dynasty! Haha!"

The founding hero ranks first, the recommended Hu Weiyong becomes the first civil servant, he is still the brother-in-law, and now he is the emperor's in-law. When these things are combined, the civil and military officials of the dynasty, who dares to disapprove?

"Brother, you are so convinced. I heard that the eldest princess is very beautiful. This tender flower of the Zhu family was picked by you, haha..."

He originally wanted to say that the old cow eats young grass, but he immediately remembered that it was inappropriate to speak of his elder brother in this way, so he did not say the word "old cow".

Li Qi naturally heard it, but he didn't care.After all, at his age, he still has the emperor's eldest daughter to marry. This sense of accomplishment is still full and proud!
Li You confirmed this matter, and after chatting for a few more words, he didn't stay any longer and went back to his mansion.

As a result, what he didn't expect was that just after he returned home, Li Laifu came back.

"What, the thing didn't get done, what did you do for food?" When Li You heard the report, his color suddenly changed and he immediately scolded.

Li Laifu was well prepared, and immediately explained with a helpless and angry expression: "Young master, it's not that the villain is incompetent, it's because the country boy relied on Zheng Guogong to support him, so he refused and even spoke arrogantly. Say...say..."

When Li Qi heard that it was Zheng Guogong behind Liujiacun, he was immediately surprised.This level was a bit high, something he didn't expect.

Before he could think about it, he heard his subordinates speak hesitantly and seemed to have said something rude, and he immediately shouted angrily: "What did you say?"

"Tell me who cares about our Li family and not Li family, where did you come from!" Li Laifu complained immediately, "If the young master doesn't believe it, you can ask other people, that country boy is relying on Zheng Guogong for his support, that's what he said. The villain originally wanted to have a good talk with him, and wanted to keep him, but in the end he ignored it, as if I was ordered by the young master to go there, and in his eyes he was a piece of shit!"

"What?" When Li Qi heard this, he immediately became angry, "Does he really mean that?"

Seeing his rage, Li Laifu was overjoyed, but on the surface he replied with righteous indignation, "Every word of the villain is true!"

Sometimes language is so mysterious. The same meaning, said in different ways, gives people a completely different feeling.
