The Li family siblings harbored hidden secrets that could not be revealed. They did not dare to ask for this or that. This made Mr. Kuan frown and feel very depressed.
After everything was agreed upon, Li Xuedong and his brothers hurried back to Xiaoli Village, while Mr. Kuan walked home with a heavy heart.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw the big car parked in the yard. Before Mr. Kuan could ask a question, his grandson A Zhuang rushed out of the kitchen and shouted excitedly at Mr. Kuan: "Weng Weng Weng Weng! Dad."
Back!"
Mr. Kuan's eldest son Li Wenliang came out of the kitchen and greeted him with a smile, "Dad is back."
Li Wenliang is in his early thirties, of medium build, strong and agile, wearing a clean and neat indigo shirt and trousers. He always has a smile on his face. At first glance, he is a simple yet shrewd banker.
"Didn't you say you would come back tomorrow?" Mr. Kuan looked at his eldest son and smiled.
"Second Brother returned to Linhai last night. I thought you were in such a hurry as you said in your letter, so I set off in the middle of the night and got home a while ago. I know the shop in Linhai, A Zhuang, as well as I do, and I have her to teach me.
, I don’t need to delay any more." Li Wenliang said while looking at his father carefully, "My father looks very good."
"Huh? That loser, he still knows how to come back! How is he now? Can he look at the shop?"
Mr. Kuan got upset when he heard the word "second".
"The second child is now much more sensible than before. Last year I made him go to Fuzhou, and this year I made him go to Yangzhou twice. They were all fine. Dad can't always think about the naughty things he did when he was a child." Li Wenliang
Smiled.
"Humph!" Although Mrs. Kuan snorted, there was a smile on his face.
His youngest son was very smart. Originally, he had high hopes for this youngest son, thinking that a scholar would be born in the family. Who knew, alas, when he was so angry, he really wanted to beat this traitor to death with a stick! p>
"Don't mention him anymore, let's go to the backyard to talk." Mr. Kuan patted his eldest son and signaled.
The two of them entered the backyard, and my wife brought over a plate of freshly cooked fish cakes and a plate of steamed rice cakes.
Li Wenliang boiled water and made tea. Mr. Kuan picked up a piece of fish cake and ate it slowly. He watched his eldest son make tea and signaled him to eat a piece of fish cake first.
"Have your mother-in-law told you about the two major events in our clan?" Mr. Kuan asked with a smile after watching his son eat the fish cake.
"I know it all. It's not all what my mother told me. I met the third child just after we arrived at the entrance of the town. He followed me back and talked all the way. The third child just left." Li Wenliang said with a smile.
When Mr. Kuan heard that Li Wenliang said he had met Li Wenhua, he smiled helplessly.
Since Wenhua told it, then everything Wenhua knew, Wenliang also knew.
"We have just agreed that Xuedong will go to school in Fuzhou." Mr. Kuan sighed, "Xuedong and his eldest sister are very close to the clan. The clan's copper coins, their siblings said in unison.
, refused to ask for a single copper coin, but later, he still asked Mr. Gao for the gold face, that is, he accepted the copper coin for renting the house. This is a resentful clan. Alas."
"I heard from the third child that Mr. Xiucai and his eldest sister are not friends with him at all." Li Wenliang said in surprise.
According to Wenhua, Xiucai Gong and his eldest sister were very close to him.
"The third child is a fool! What can he see? Alas, I am also to blame for this matter. Since I helped you in the first place... Alas!" Mr. Kuan did not say anything else.
At first, he really didn’t expect that Xuedong could really pass the exam!
I took the imperial examination for Xuedong, and the copper coins I received for the college examination were just a whim, and there weren’t many copper coins anyway.
Even after Xuedong passed the government examination, he didn't dare to have any hope.
Among the several talents in the county, which one has not been famous throughout the county as a child prodigy since he was a child?
Not to mention Xuedong, even Mr. Gao was very surprised that Xuedong could pass the exam. He kept saying that this was a Qi movement of the Li family.
"Daddy, don't think too much. The Xiucai Gong siblings are resentful towards the clan. This is human nature. Even we, when it comes to the clan, don't we also feel resentful?
"Fortunately, the days are long in the future. From now on, we will treat Xiucai Gong and his family sincerely, but sooner or later, we will definitely be able to change our sincerity. People's hearts are made of flesh." Li Wenliang's words were not entirely comforting.
"Well, I think so too. Alas, this is the only way." Mr. Kuan sighed again.
Their Wangzifang took over the family affairs, and although Feng and Shengfang didn't dare to speak out, they didn't necessarily dare to get angry, let alone be subdued. I don't know what might happen in the future.
Their Wangzifang, together with the men from Man and Xiangfang, would not be rich, and there were many people from Shengfang. To take charge of the family affairs, their Wangzifang could only stay close to Xuedong, a scholar.
Their family and Xuedong's family cannot have any identity no matter what.
"When will Duke Xiucai leave? I'll send them there," Li Wenliang suggested.
"I'm calling you back because I want you to accompany Xuedong and his family to settle in. You have to leave in the next two days. There is a time limit for Xuedong to report to Fuzhou. You can bring a few more banknotes with you. From now on, Xuedong will go there.
The expenses for the side do not need to be borne by the clan members, we will subsidize them ourselves.
"Also, Xuedong's eldest sister is very stubborn and capable. You are going to settle in Pingjiang City all the way. Don't fight with her, don't make decisions for her, and don't interfere in their family affairs."
Mr. Kuan paused for a moment, then continued: "As for Xuedong's matters, I also listen to his eldest sister. You just try your best to help."
"Okay." Li Wenliang nodded, "When I heard what the third child said, I thought Xiucai Gong, the eldest sister, is very powerful."
"Yeah." Mr. Kuan hummed. He didn't know what he was thinking of. He was confused for a while, looked at his eldest son and said: "When I was a child, I heard from the elders in the clan that the feng shui of our Li family is all due to the women of the Li family.
Every prosperity of the family depends on the women of the Li family. If the Li family's luck really moves this time, this luck may belong to the eldest sister Xuedong. You have to respect her."
"Don't worry, Dad." Li Wenliang responded with a smile.
Mr. Kuan and Li Wenliang talked about the big and small things in the clan. His wife called for dinner. The two of them left the backyard and just sat down. Li Wenhua rushed in, "Something happened, something happened!"
"What happened?" Mr. Kuan quickly put down his chopsticks.
"Don't worry, talk nicely!" Li Wenliang stood up.
"The two little ones of Li Wencai's family in Xiaoli Village were beaten! They were beaten..." Li Wenhua was exuding excitement and excitement, and he was gesturing wildly with his hands, "Here, here, there is blood! It's bloody!" p>
Mr. Kuan frowned.
"Those two who beat Xiucai Gong? What happened? Who beat him?" Li Wenliang breathed a sigh of relief, sat Li Wenhua down, poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.
"I think this is retribution! This is called retribution! Everyone says so!" Li Wenhua raised his head and drank tea. "Not far from our Lijiaji, when we were approaching Xiaoli Village, they said it was those two
The goods were packed and collided with two passing merchants. The two merchants didn't know what business they were in. They were very cruel and they didn't know what they were using.
Come on, right here, I was beaten with such a long and wide bloody gash! Tsk! It’s scary!”
Li Wenliang stared at Li Wenhua's spread fingers. If his cousin's fingers were really so long, how could they be so long?
"Don't believe it, it's really that long, at least three inches, right on the head, from here to here! Tsk, it's all blood, it's really scary. Tsk." Speaking of how scary it is, Li Wenhua clicked his tongue with satisfaction.
.
Li Wenliang looked at his father.
Mr. Kuan frowned and waved to Li Wenhua, "Okay, go back. How old are you? Look at you. No matter what, you shouldn't rejoice in others' misfortunes and lose your blessings! Go back quickly and don't mention this matter again.
Got it!"
"I don't have one, I just...I'm leaving then." Li Wenhua was tongue-tied and quickly stood up and walked out.
"Let's eat here." Li Wenliang followed Li Wenhua with a pleading message.
"No, the food is ready at my house. You guys can eat. I'm going back." Li Wenhua ran back with his luggage.
Seeing Li Wenhua leave the courtyard, Li Wenliang looked at his father, "Dad?"
"How can our scholar, Mr. Wen, have such ability? What Wen Hua said is right, retribution is not good. Let's eat." Mr. Kuan motioned to his eldest son.
