sister-in-law

Chapter 143
Chengguo Mansion.

In the Ming'an Hall of the old lady in the backyard, there was a faint whimper of grievance, and it seemed that there was a woman inside who was softly persuading the crying person.

Li Lanxin knelt in front of the old ancestor of Duke Cheng's mansion and wept in a mess. The appearance of pear blossoms being hit by the rain made even the well-informed old lady unable to bear being dumped by her.

"Xin'er, what happened? Get up and tell grandma!" Mrs. Li asked her to get up angrily.

Standing behind her and holding her shoulders gently, Mrs. Cheng Guogong winked at Li Lanxin, and Li Lanxin stood up weeping, wiped her tears with a snow-white handkerchief, and cried aggrievedly, "It's all the second brother. It's not that I pushed the little hoof surnamed Su into the river, and I just led people to lock up the boat lady, girl, and woman next to me, saying that I would interrogate... woo Woo, now I don't even have a servant girl, grandma, you have to make the decision for me!"

"Second girl, don't worry, tell grandma, isn't your second brother the kind of reckless person who takes away people around you without evidence?" Li Fu'an is also Mrs. Li's darling. Neng Wu is the only student in the Li family, and is deeply loved by Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li would not believe her granddaughter's one-sided words.

Mrs. Li also followed suit, "Xin'er, what your grandmother said was that your second brother has always done things properly and would not arrest people for no reason. You must have pissed him off."

Seeing that she had been crying for a long time, and her grandmother and mother didn't agree, Li Lanxin couldn't help being anxious, stomped her feet, and cried, "Isn't it because of his sweetheart? His sweetheart fell into the river. There is nowhere to vent his anger, so he can only vent his anger." On me!"

When Mrs. Li heard this, her cloudy old eyes immediately shone brightly. She turned around and took Mrs. Li's hand and patted the armchair beside her, "Sit down quickly, listen to what the second girl said ? My ears are hard of hearing, did I hear wrong?"

No wonder she was so excited, ever since Li Fu'an became a Jinshi, the threshold of their Li family was about to be broken down by the matchmaker who proposed marriage, but that kid didn't like any of them.

At the age of 17, he went to Qingquan County and became the county magistrate, in charge of the county's military, government and civil affairs. He has outstanding achievements and a bright future!
The family status of Cheng Guogong's mansion is not something that girls from ordinary families can enter. Li Fu'an looks so good-looking, so he is the dream lover of noble ladies from aristocratic families in Beijing.

They inquired about Li Fu'an openly and secretly, but I don't know how many there are.Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li have also met many famous ladies, all of them are top-notch.He has a good appearance, is proficient in needlework female celebrities, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and whoever matches Li Fu'an is arrogant.

But every time Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li tested Li Fu'an's tone, Li Fu'an said that he was still young and his future was the most important thing.

Later, his grandmother and mother were in a hurry, and he simply didn't even go home, and he took the job for board and lodging.

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li had lost their way, so they had no choice but to let go.

Now Li Fu'an seems to be on the verge of becoming weaker. A man of his age has several children, but he doesn't even have a roommate.

The Li family's family of military generals has never cared too much about such matters.What's more, generals who kill enemies on the battlefield have a high chance of death, and they all look forward to having more wives and more children, and to spread their branches and leaves!As long as you don't go to prostitutes and whores, what is it to take a few more concubines?
Li Fu'an's eldest brother, Li Congwu, is just 40 years old this year. In addition to his wife, he also has a fifth wife. He has three sons from the concubine, and five sons from the concubine. This is not considered a daughter.

If something happens to Li Congwu on the battlefield, the group of sons in the family are all like tigers, which one can't stand up to the world?
The reason why Li Fuan has been able to stay alone until now is that he is not in a hurry because he is young, and secondly, he loves reading. Persecute him no more.There is also selfishness here, he is the youngest son, as long as he does not go to the battlefield, nothing will happen, and the matter of getting married is up to him.

It's just that Mrs. Li also selected a few rooms for him, all of them were strong and beautiful. Li Fu'an was working in other places, so he could not only serve him, but also solve the problems of men.

Who knew that this time Li Fu'an led the army to make meritorious service, the emperor greatly appreciated his ability to lead the army, let him follow the path of a general, and personally bestowed him with the title of "Guide Zhonglang General"!
This made everyone in the Li family sweat while being happy, and the matter of getting married was put on the agenda.

Mrs. Li also asked about those Tongfangs in private, but she didn't expect that two years later, Li Fu'an was actually Liu Xiahui, and she never touched these Tongfangs, they are still perfect!

This made Mrs. Li very anxious. Isn't there something wrong with my son?

I wanted to catch my son and ask him a good question, but Li Fu'an was very busy after he entered Beijing, he either followed Li Congwu to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing to train soldiers, or was summoned by the emperor to enter the palace.Otherwise, he would have fun with his colleagues, but he rarely spends time at home.

During this period of time, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li held back their energy, polished their eyes, and selected many candidates from the noble ladies in Beijing. They have already asked people to make paintings, and when the time comes, they will bring that boy Li Fuan over. , Let him pick a good one!
In a month or so it will be Mrs. Li's [-]th birthday, the mother and son decided to take this opportunity to detain Li Fu'an at home, and let the wives of each family bring the young lady over to have a good look at each other.

The two ladies are full of confidence, don't you believe that there are so many famous ladies in Beijing, and Li Fu'an doesn't like any of them?

I was having a headache about this, so whoever thought about it came up with a personal choice.

Hearing that Li Fu'an actually has someone he likes, for the sake of him, he doesn't hesitate to wrong his sister!
Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li just thought someone was giving them a pillow when they wanted to sleep. The more they thought about it, the more they pressed it. They took Li Lanxin's hand, one by one, and insisted on letting her explain what kind of girl that girl was.

He completely forgot that Li Lanxin was still being wronged.

Li Lanxin didn't want her grandmother and mother to forget about her affairs, so she just started worrying about Li Fu'an's affairs.

My heart was so sore that I couldn't describe it, so I stomped my feet and cried again, "Grandmother and mother are biased, you don't care about me being wronged like this, but you have to take care of the second brother's business. What's wrong with that little hoof?" Well, it’s just a public doctor practicing, and the second brother insisted on protecting her like a baby. Didn’t he just push her into the river? She didn’t die, so what’s the big deal?”

Li Lanxin was so jealous that she said a lot of things, and Madam Li frowned, and said in a low voice: "Xin'er, what nonsense are you talking about? Did you push it?"

In desperation, Li Lanxin almost slipped her mouth, but of course she dared not admit it, she shook her head and denied, "How could I do such a thing? The girl next to her must have accidentally bumped into her. The stone platform is so slippery, it was her If you are not careful, who can you rely on?"

"Nonsense! Since your girls are careless, it is right for your second brother to arrest them. Why are other girls and ladies fine, but the one who gave birth to your second brother is fine?"

Mrs. Li poked at her daughter's thoughts with a sharp tongue, which made Li Lanxin even more wronged.Why is the mother not looking at her at all, but turning her elbows outward, towards an irrelevant little bitch?

Thinking of this, Li Lanxin became angry. She is not a lady from a famous family, but that little bastard still wants to climb the high branches of Duke Cheng's mansion?Think beautifully!It's not enough for her second brother to be a concubine!

"It's just a poor girl who came out of the valley. She hangs out with men all day long. What good stuff? Second brother is still like a baby, really blind!"

There was nowhere to vent the resentment in her heart, so Li Lanxin naturally spoke out.Mrs. Li frowned slightly, cast a dissatisfied glance at her granddaughter, and said in a deep voice, "Let this girl come over when the time comes, I want to see you!"

But it was to Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li naturally understood, she immediately rolled her eyes at her daughter, and kicked her out, "Hurry up and learn sewing from Aunt Shen!"

Aunt Shen is a famous female celebrity invited by the Li family. She is very good at double-sided embroidery, so she came here to teach Li Lanxin.

The Li family is a family of military generals, and even their daughters can wield swords and guns.Mrs. Li is from a scholarly family, and she is very displeased that her daughter's family does not have a boudoir all day long.

As soon as Li Lanxin heard that she was going to learn sewing, her scalp went numb, but her mother's fate was inevitable, so she had no choice but to walk out expectantly.

In the room, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li gathered together with joyful expressions on their faces, and the two mothers chattered and discussed.
