On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 254 General Li

After General Li asked the maids to retreat, he took Mochou's still weak and boneless hand and whispered: "They say marry high and marry low. I thought my daughter-in-law's family would be lower-class, so I wouldn't dare to say anything to her when she came in." You are disrespectful."

"Besides, I'm worried that the girl Madam is supporting will not be of the same mind as Yan'er."

"I can give my son a good marriage, but I'm afraid that my wife will give you a hard time in the future."

Unfortunately, the wife is in charge of the inner house. In recent years, he has spent a lot of time fighting abroad, so he may be beyond his reach.

He was persuading both himself and her: "Don't worry, we have to believe in Yan'er's vision. The girl he can fall in love with must be outstanding in appearance, smart and capable."

Aunt Mo was always sensible. After hearing this, her worries turned into joy: "My lord is still thinking too far. I am stupid. Were you worried about the eldest son's impulsiveness before?"

"I'm afraid you'll get into trouble with your wild thoughts." General Li sighed: "Like me, I married a noble girl, but isn't my life uncomfortable?"

When Aunt Mo heard that he had revealed his shortcomings in order to get her to accept this marriage, she knew that her son had convinced him.

Then she couldn't find an ally, so she had no choice but to stop.

"Take this," General Li took out a purse from his sleeve and handed it to her: "There are two thousand taels of silver in it. Give it to Yan'er and ask him to secretly give it to the Xiao family."

"From now on, when talking to the outside world, just say that the Xiao family is a wealthy squire family."

Gentlemen are retired officials or relatives of current officials. They are wealthy people with academic and reputation such as being a scholar or a scholar.

Squire is a down-and-out scholar, or his ancestors have served as small officials, or their families are rich after doing business, and they build bridges and roads to do good deeds.

Anyway, the squire said he had a good reputation.

Mochou understood that he wanted to mention the woman's family background and buy a good dowry, so that the dowry would not be too different from that of the two younger sisters-in-law and make people laugh.

After she declined, she 'reluctantly' accepted.

"By the way, when the old lady died, she also told her concubine that she would leave a private house for the eldest son to use when he gets married."

"The things are placed in the black lacquered and gold-painted makeup box that the old lady left for you. The key has already been given to me."

After finishing speaking, she did not forget to laugh and joke to herself: "The old lady must be afraid that you will appropriate the body she left for the eldest son, and she is also afraid that I will not be able to keep the good things, so she let us keep it alone."

In her heart, the old lady believed that her eldest grandson was lucky to have two younger brothers. It was also the first grandson that she had been waiting for for many years, so she was particularly partial to him.

When he was dying, he still secretly left some body parts for his eldest grandson.

Of course, even now, they don't know what the old lady left for her eldest grandson.

General Li couldn't help but sigh: "Mother has good intentions."

He patted her hand again and said, "I'll go back and look for it. I'll bring it here quietly at night."

Otherwise, if the madam finds out that he has given dowry to his aunt and thinks that he is subsidizing Mo Chou, she will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble and make a big fuss by criticizing Sang and Huai.

He walked on the road and thought about it carefully.

He really thought that before his mother passed away, she had left something for him as a memory. He would definitely keep it properly and not give it to others easily.

There was indeed a dowry. At that time, he felt that he could not use it. He also heard from his mother that it was reserved for his eldest grandson's wedding, so he kept it.

If Mochou hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten about it.

The next morning, when Mrs. Li got up, she heard her mother-in-law reply: "Madam, I heard from the mother-in-law at the second gate that your Excellency entered the backyard at the end of Xu Shimo.

"My lord came to your place first. When he saw that the lights were turned off, he went to Aunt Mo's place. At the beginning of the morning, he went to the front yard." "I stared at the people over there and said something back, saying that I heard some adults scolding me, and Mo Mo." My aunt’s cry.”

In fact, the mother-in-law had already been beaten by General Li.

No, it should be said that he was threatened.

General Li shamelessly told her that if she did not cooperate, he would take her men, sons, sons-in-law, and the men from her mother's and husband's families to the battlefield.

Even though the mother-in-law is willing to let go of the man, she can't let go of the sons, so she can only compromise.

It was obvious that the Lord took his things to Aunt Mo's place at the beginning of Xu Shi, and he left in the middle of the morning.

She tried to figure out what Madam would like to hear.

Mrs. Li was a little dissatisfied after hearing this: "Let me know next time when you come."

This cold night is long, and she also wants her husband to accompany her.

Then he gloated: "Aunt Mo must know that our eldest son is having sex with a peasant girl outside, and she is afraid that the bastard will come out before the wife comes in."

After saying that, I couldn't help laughing.

The mother-in-law whispered an idea: "Madam, doesn't the eldest son want to cancel the marriage with the Chen family? If he is allowed to marry a girl from outside, it will be because of your adult beauty, madam, that they can get what they want."

These words came to Mrs. Li's heart: "What you said makes sense."

After saying that, he sighed again: "No, if outsiders find out, they will definitely think that I don't like my bastard, so why am I deliberately finding a peasant girl for him to drag him down like this?"

The mother-in-law thought in her heart: Madam is just too greedy. She wants to save face and would rather suffer the consequences.

Of course, she also doubted whether General Li really valued the eldest son. Otherwise, how could he let herself say this in front of his wife?
She flattered her repeatedly: "My lady is kind-hearted."

He changed his tone and whispered: "But what if the eldest young master insists on marrying him, or if the girl knows that Li Mansion is a wealthy family that she could not imagine, and relies on the grace of saving her life, she insists on climbing a high tree?"

"What you said makes sense," Mrs. Li was very moved after hearing this: "We need to think about this matter carefully."

After saying that, he looked at her again: "If this happens, I will reward you well."

The mother-in-law immediately thanked her: "Thank you, madam."

He was very obedient: "This old slave belongs to the madam, so he should do things for the madam."

In her mind, she cursed again regardless of her dignity: You are so stingy, you ask yourself to do things, but you are like an iron rooster, never plucking a dime.

It's rare for him to feel guilty: he cheated his wife, but she still wanted to reward him.

Why are there so many differences between this person and other people?

Mrs. Li was in a very good mood and was too lazy to talk to the aunts. When she heard the maids say that the aunts were here, she happily asked them to go back.

After handling the trivial matters in the lower house, I thought about it alone and decided to break off the engagement first.

If the marriage was still going on, even if the woman showed up with a full belly, it would just be giving Li Ji an extra concubine.

But if the engagement is broken off, and the woman insists on marrying Li Ji because of the grace of saving her life, what can she do? Right?
She took a carriage back to her parents' home in the afternoon.

Her brother-in-law is Governor Chen. When the King of Jin'an set his sights on Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the land of plenty, and led troops to occupy the territory, it was her husband who was the bridge between them. Governor Chen gave up the place very happily, and even now the prince is too embarrassed to kill the donkey. .
