Chapter 5 The Li Family

But Nian Xia's eyes fell on her wrist.

Li Min looked down and saw a jade bracelet on his left wrist.This bracelet has been there since she wore it.I'm afraid it's something that the original owner never left. I don't know who gave it to me. It seems very important.

Under the sunlight, the jade bracelet is green and clear. It is a good bracelet, and it must be worth a lot. It seems that only royal nobles can have it.Li Min thought back to the furnishings in his room, as well as the clothes of himself and his maidservant, most of them were simple, without any luxury items.

Only the people in the mansion knew about the expenses of the second lady of the Shangshu Mansion, and they were so embezzled by the Wang family that they couldn't even afford the charcoal money for the winter.No wonder her body was going from bad to worse in the past.

As if, this bracelet looks different in the Cinderella-like second lady's room in Shangshufu.

Nian Xia smiled and said to her: This is an engagement gift from Prince Li's mother Concubine Jing to Miss.

Li Min was taken aback: She already has a fiancé?

Wouldn't anyone marry a tuberculosis like her?

Nian Xia is very sure of this: King Li will not marry Miss.Concubine Jing was a talented person in the palace back then, if it wasn't for the help of the young lady's mother and wife, she would help Concubine Jing to be as valuable as mother and child.It was said before that the young lady was not in good health, that's why he dared not marry the young lady into the house.Now that the young lady is in good health, after Prince Li came to see the young lady and saw that the young lady was already in good health, he would definitely understand how good the young lady is, and would immediately send someone to come to formally propose marriage.The lady just waits for Li Wang to marry the lady.

Li Min picked up the teacup, just listened slowly, and didn't make any comments right away.

Today is the last dog day of dog days. Li Min moved a small bamboo stool and sat in the yard, and asked Wang Desheng to set up a small table with a pot of good tea.In the summer afternoon, it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree.While making tea, Li Min fanned himself with a plantain fan, listening to Xia's gossip about the streets and alleys, the corners of his mouth fluttered and his eyes sparkled when he heard the interest.

It still looks like the dying second lady of Shangshufu who was lying on the bed a few months ago and couldn't even breathe.

Following Wang's orders, Zhuyin stepped into Li Min's small courtyard and saw Li Min sitting in the courtyard laughing and talking, not surprised that her eyes almost popped out.

Last time, after the bowl of medicine that Nanny Zhang brought was given back to Nanny Zhang by Li Min, Mrs. Wang became furious and decided to let Li Min fend for herself.

Anyway, she knew that the daughter left behind by the Xu family was nothing more than a useless thing.He has Xu's medicine hall left by his ancestors, but he doesn't know medicine and medicine, and suffers repeatedly.

Based on Wang's inference, if he couldn't get a doctor, and he didn't know how to treat illnesses, Li Min's health was already in a bad state, and he was waiting to die.After thinking about it for a month or so, Li Min should almost die.It was because I heard that Nian Xia and Wang Desheng had nothing to do and ran outside, maybe they were worried that their master would have no way out after death, so they went out to find another master.

Thinking about it this way, Mrs. Wang should send someone to Li Min's yard to investigate the situation.If Li Min died, she should have prepared the coffin here in advance, waiting to collect Li Min's body.So Zhuyin was sent here to see Li Min's jokes for Mrs. Wang.

After taking a sip of barley tea, Li Min looked up and saw a person standing motionless at the gate of the yard like a statue, and stopped the plantain fan in his hand.

Nianxia put down the teapot for Li Min's cup, walked towards Zhuyin, and said, "Sister Zhuyin, don't come here without any problems."

Nian Xia has been with Li Min for many years, but she is only a second-class maid, unlike Zhu Yin, who serves by Wang's side, is a first-class maid.With her head held high, Zhuyin walked past her, walked up to Li Min, bent her knees slightly, and said, "Second miss, the old lady is here. Madam asked if the second lady could go see the old lady?"

Mrs. Li is Li Min's grandmother, Wang's mother-in-law, and Li Datong's mother.Mrs. Li usually doesn't live in Li's residence, because Li Datong is not the only one in the Li family.

Li Datong has two brothers.Li Datong has an older brother.

It stands to reason that Mrs. Li should live in the old family, but among the three brothers of the Li family, Li Datong is the biggest official and the best.Mrs. Li can live with her second son.In the end, Mrs. Li didn't know what to think, and chose to live alone in her house.

Like many old ladies from rich families, Mrs. Li recites Buddhism and eats fast, as if she can go to heaven only after she dies in this way.Therefore, the second door does not step forward, and usually even the sons and grandchildren are gone.

Now, there was a sudden wind that made Mrs. Li take the initiative to walk out of her Buddhist hall and come to the second son's house.

Li Min found it interesting to think about it, and with a faint smile on his lips, he said, "Okay, you go back first. I'll change my clothes before going to see the old lady."

As she got closer to Li Min, Zhuyin could hear Li Min's voice more clearly, it was full of breath and force, unlike before when she breathed for a long time, she was even more surprised.I can't even think about it. With Li Min's previous body, it stands to reason that even gods can't save his life.

After a few steps of hesitation, Zhuyin left Li Min's courtyard and walked back to the main room to report to Mrs. Wang.

In the main room, several members of the Li family were sitting there, the atmosphere was a little serious, Zhuyin swallowed and wanted to report, but seeing this scene, he dared not speak casually.

The person sitting in the upper seat is Mrs. Li.The old lady is fifty years old, with white hair at the temples, a peach and jade hairpin of the Queen Mother on her hair, neatly dressed, a black gold satin jacket with flower borders on her upper body, and a string of one hundred and eight pieces around her neck. Sandalwood Buddha Beads Chain.

Sitting on both sides of the bottom are Li Datong and Wang Shi.Several aunts did not have the opportunity to visit the old lady here.It can be seen that Mrs. Li came here this time to discuss important matters with Li Datong and Wang.

Only the old lady coughed the saliva in her throat lightly, and said: "At the beginning, when Hua'er entered the palace, it was because our Li family had no one in the palace, and we wanted to do things in front of the emperor. Things must have been difficult. It is rare that this child is talented, entered the palace, lived up to expectations, and was soon promoted as an imperial maid, and won the favor of the emperor, the empress dowager, and the empress. Not long ago, your case was delayed. The reason why it couldn’t be done was thanks to Hua’er who helped to say a few words in the middle.”

Li Datong blushed.He didn't get any reply from the emperor for more than a year, because Li Hua was appointed as the imperial maid in the palace, and the emperor thought of reading his papers.

Sure enough, the old lady let go: "With Hua'er in the palace, you can only keep the Li family today. The emperor is also old, the crown prince assists the government, and the prince participates in politics. Every family now not only sends people to the palace, but also Send people to the prince's mansions. How can our Li family fall behind?"

"My son knows." Li Datong got up to answer.

The old lady cleared her throat again: "Before, with the help of Concubine Rong, we arranged a marriage for Ying'er. This is a good thing, the frontiers keep getting good news, and Li Wang has made great contributions. We only wait for the class teacher to return to the court, and the emperor will add officials to him." Sir."
