Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

Li Wei was sitting on the treasure couch listening to the emperor's endorsement. She was about to nod her head to approve a few words, but saw the regent Zhao Qian coming from outside wearing a gown.

"Empress Mother, the minister has something to play."

"You...you... Zhao Qian, are you going to rebel?" Li Wei saw the gun clothes on the regent, and was shocked when he saw the sword in his hand. The young emperor was about to hide on Li Wei's couch in a panic.

But seeing Zhao Qian holding the sword, he stabbed the emperor at once. The concubine fell at Li Wei's feet at that time, and Li Wei fell from the couch in fright. Zhao Qian held the **** sword, and pointed the tip of the sword at Li Wei: "Queen dowager, let the ministers send you a ride. Let you reunite with the emperor as soon as possible, otherwise the emperor is lonely, what should I do if I look back for my mother."

"No... Zhao Qian, are you really going to reverse it?" Li Wei woke up yelling again.

Her chest was jumping violently, as if a little breathless, her face was sweaty. After a while, Li Wei calmed down. She looked around in a panic. Still in this strange era, she did not return to Daqi.

She dreamed of being killed by Zhao Qian again. But she is hiding here now, Zhao Qian can't kill her if he wants to kill her. After being sober, Li Wei was not only afraid, but still a little bit lucky.

It was still dark outside, but the sound of cleaning was already heard in the yard, and she knew that it was not early. She fumbled for the thread in the dark and pulled it gently, and the room became brighter.

"Are you up? What's the matter, why don't you come and help me set the fire. The rice hasn't been cooked, and the pig hasn't been cooked yet." Liu Chunzhi pushed the door in and saw Li Wei wearing clothes.

Li Wei agreed vaguely, and quickly tugged the somewhat short old jacket. She opened the door and walked out. Li Wei couldn't help shivering because of the freezing cold outside. The little sleepiness suddenly disappeared, and she became more sober.

It’s late in the winter morning, and the sky is still dark at this time, but it is past seven. Liu Chunzhi had already washed two pots and waited for her daughter to help set the fire.

They are an ordinary family in a remote mountain village. There are five people in the family, but Grandpa Li Wei lives with his eldest son Li Mingguo, and occasionally comes to the second son's house for a meal. In his free time, Li Minghua takes his elder son to do odd jobs to earn household income, while Liu Chunzhi takes care of the family. The combined paddy field and dry land is less than six acres. Two big fat pigs and a dozen chickens are fed, and there is no other livestock.

In the busy schedule, Li Minghua and Li Jianping, father and son, also got up one after another. Li Jianping was brushing his teeth under the eaves with an enamel cup. Li Minghua still wears dirty clothes. In his words, all he does is exhausting. It's a pity to wear clean clothes.

Seeing that the boss came out, Liu Chunzhi discussed with Li Minghua: "The time is almost up. You can find someone to take a look tomorrow."

Without thinking, Li Minghua understood it naturally, and nodded, "It's the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye. It's okay. I'll be back earlier and ask Wang Xiaozi to come over and see what the price can be." Li Minghua said. The match was struck, a cigarette was lit, a few sniffs and a few coughs.

Liu Chunzhi hated Li Minghua's smoking and turned his lips in disgust, and then continued the previous topic: "I heard that the price of this year's piggy is not bad, and it can sell for 60 cents a catty."

"The pork is all one by one, and of course the piggy should follow."

Liu Chunzhi hesitated and said again: "Why don't we only sell one this year, and kill the remaining one by yourself, it's better for the New Year. Anyway, after the New Year, Wei Wei won't go to school anymore, so we will save a small amount of expenses."

"Come on, don't you still want to build a few more houses. You still want to marry Jianping a wife, and you want to study for Jianbo, why don't you need the money?"

As soon as Li Minghua's voice fell, Li Jianping spit out his mouthwash and said, "I haven't even married a wife at the age of 18. Dad, I won't go to Wayao after the New Year."

"If you don't go to the kiln, where are you going?" Li Minghua's voice seemed a little unhappy.

"Go and see in the city, find something to do first, save enough money, and then prepare to make a small business." Li Jianping has his own ideas.

When he finished speaking, Li Minghua gave him a punch and whispered: "Your wings are stiff, do you want to fly?"

"I don't want to stay in this mountain nest for the rest of my life. After reading the Jianbo book, I should always find something famous. Maybe we can make money, we can also build a two-story building from the people in the town. . No, we will go to the city to buy a house to live in."

"I'll beat you up, work honestly for me, don't think about things all day long. Buying a house? I think you are still dreaming, just talk in your dreams!" Li Minghua felt that his son was so lofty, and he felt angry. I want to beat my son to make him sober.

The voice from the yard came from high to low. Li Wei watched the burning flames in the stove and was in a daze, until someone hurried in.

"Li Wei! Are you not studying?" Obviously, there was a bit of anger in the words.

Li Wei looked up and saw that it was Li Jianbo, she nodded and said: "Yes."

"What are you doing!" Li Jianbo was about to die of anger. He walked to the stove and asked repeatedly: "You were only fourteen years old and a few days after you dropped out of school early, what can you do? Can you be the same as Dad and Big Brother? To be a coolie, or to be a working woman like your mother? What can you do? You haven't even graduated from junior high school. I'm afraid you don't want to go to a restaurant to work at a worker's house in the future. Do you really want to be ruined in this life? How can you be ruined for a lifetime like this? Why are you so spineless?" Li Jianbo's voice gradually increased.

Facing the second brother's questioning and criticism, Li Wei looked a little confused. At this time, she was still thinking about the big things. She never thought about what reading or not reading would mean to the future.

Whether in Shangshufu or after entering the palace, no one has ever dared to challenge her in this way. What refutation should she say to defend herself, but Li Wei opened her mouth. She faced the boy's accusations. I can’t find a rebuttal sentence.

Li Jianbo's voice caused all three people in the yard to come in, so Li Jianping was still arguing with his sister.

The family was standing in front of her, but at this moment, she just wanted to find a place to sew in. Liu Chunzhi said for her daughter: "Jianbo, stop scolding your sister. I beat and scolded. Yes. She knew she was wrong."

"Knowing it's wrong? Then why doesn't she go back and continue reading?"

"She dropped out of school. I went to do the formalities for her." Liu Chunzhi explained quickly.

Li Jianbo glanced at his sister with his head down. He could only see her black hair, but he couldn't see the expression on her face, but at this moment, he was almost **** off by this sister. Had it not been for his eldest brother to stop him last night, he would have rushed to his sister's room and yelled at him.

"Well, what is the noise early in the morning. Is the meal ready? I am hungry." Li Minghua suddenly spoke.

Li Wei bit her lip tightly and said nothing, thinking in her heart that these are the troubles caused by the original body, how should she end up.

Li Jianbo was so angry that he didn't want to eat and turned his head and went into the house.
