Mrs. Wang, who came back from her parents' home, saw many servants, women and girls running around when she entered the house.
"It was too chaotic to pick us up." Li Mingqi complained after seeing it, "Grandma's house is not like this."
The maids and girls who were running around stopped to greet the car when they saw it.
Because Mrs. Li allowed it, Mrs. Wang stayed at her parents' house for two more days and rushed back early this morning.
"You don't need to take care of the house yet." Mrs. Wang glared at her daughter, "Hurry up and wash up and bring back the gifts to your grandmother. If it weren't for your grandmother, you would be able to receive so many gifts."
Li Mingqi looked proud and looked back at the car following her. There was a large box of gifts she had received in the car. This was thanks to her being favored in front of Mrs. Li.
As the most beloved granddaughter of the old lady of the largest family in Jiangling Mansion, more people want to pamper her.
"I'm going now." Li Mingqi jumped out of the car, "I want to eat at my grandmother's place."
She would devour the food as if she had been hungry for several days, and then she would say that she didn't want to eat outside and would only eat delicious food in front of her grandmother. The old man liked this, and she was actually very easy to coax.
The maids who were waiting nearby waved their hands when they heard it: "Miss Qi, don't go now."
Li Mingqi was puzzled.
"Li Min is here," the servant said.
Of course Wang and Li Mingqi know who Li Min is.
"Then your grandma can't care about entertaining others." Wang said with a smile, "You can go later."
Li Mingqi nodded obediently. She was very happy to see Li Min's grandmother. She was just the icing on the cake. It was better to wait until Li Min left.
A smart girl must assess the situation.
Li Mingqi gently stroked the bead ring she wore in front of her. In order to let Li Minglou understand this truth, should she borrow it for a few more days?
However, the atmosphere at home was a little different. Mrs. Wang took Li Mingqi back to her residence. Along the way, she saw many servant girls running around or gathering together and whispering strangely.
In the past, Li Min was very busy when she came to the house, but she always ran around with a smile and whispered happily. This time the atmosphere was too solemn.
"What's wrong?" The third lady, Wang, was very perceptive.
Servants, look at me, I think you don't dare to say anything. The maid from Wang's own yard came to greet her and whispered: "The old lady and the second lady are quarreling."
Zuo, the Smiling Buddha, could actually quarrel with the old lady? Wang was very surprised. This is really a rare thing. Why?
"For Li Min." The servant hesitated and said.
The old lady got angry and smashed the rice served by Zuo. Zuo knelt down to no avail. The old lady only asked Li Min to come. At this time, even if Li Min was about to die, the servants and girls had to carry him.
Li Min was not dying, he just drank too much last night. Hearing the girl's message, he came to the old lady without even bothering to wash and change clothes.
Li Min met Li Fengchang on the way to the old lady's yard.
"The old lady has always been thinking about you and has been waiting for you to say hello. It's not too late to drink and socialize after you meet her." Li Fengchang said with a sullen face.
Li Min nodded repeatedly: "It's all my fault." Then he looked at the old lady's girl next to him and said, "Sister Xiaomei, help me find some thorn sticks. I'll bear the thorn sticks for the old lady to apologize for."
Xiao Min's originally taut face was amused by his words, but she immediately tensed up again, accusing and dissatisfied: "Now you know you were wrong."
Not only the old lady was looking forward to it, but everyone was also looking forward to him. Li Min spoke humorously and thoughtfully and prepared gifts for each of them every time.
Li Min bowed to her and saluted: "Wrong, wrong."
Xiaomei hesitated: "The old lady is not angry because of this."
Li Fengchang, who was frowning and disdainful of Li Min's attitude of being a eunuch who could flatter anyone, paused slightly.
"Ah, what else did I do wrong?" Li Min looked anxious, pulling her hair and thinking hard.
Xiaomei glanced at Li Fengchang and lowered his head: "If you are busy, go and get there. It's not like the old lady can't wait. How can I ask the second lady to bring things over?"
It turned out that it was for this matter. Li Minsong said: "Didn't the Second Madam tell the old lady?" Before Xiaomei could say anything, she laughed and raised her hand to slap herself in the face. "I was wrong. I should tell the old lady in person."
.”
After saying that, he trotted into the yard.
Xiaomei hurriedly ran to keep up.
Li Fengchang couldn't run away with them. When he walked in, Li Min was already holding Mrs. Li's clothes and kneeling in front of her knees.
"Have the rules changed?" Mrs. Li was full of anger. "Why should I entrust others to give me the things my son gave me? If he is gone, am I no longer his mother? Can this rule be changed?"
Zuo knelt aside and raised his sleeves to gently wipe the corners of his eyes.
"Mom, this is not what the rules have changed." Li Fengchang said proactively, "I was about to come and tell my mother that my eldest brother sent some more to my house."
After hearing that the shop was given to Li Fengchang, Mrs. Li's expression softened a bit. Of course, her son's property also belongs to her. It is a good thing to have more things in the house.
"It's very thoughtful." She sighed softly, tears streaming down her face, "My son."
"So a big tent was sent over there, and then I asked her to bring it to mother." Li Fengchang said.
Mrs. Li had a lot of money on hand and was very sensitive about accounts. She sat up straight after hearing this: "You mean that all my money will be with yours from now on? I will get it from you?"
This time Li Fengchang didn't take the initiative to speak and looked at Li Min.
Li Min took Mrs. Li by the hem of her clothes and nodded: "Yes, yes, we will send it home together. Madam doesn't need to see me anymore. The second master will send it to you." He put his face against Mrs. Li's knee, "
I can’t bear to leave the old lady when she can’t see her, and I can’t bear to leave the old lady either…”
Mrs. Li stretched out her hand and pushed his forehead. She was so strong that she could walk six times around the garden every day. She slapped Li Min and pushed him to the ground.
"Who can't bear to leave you! It's ridiculous." She shouted angrily, "You want me to ask for money from my son and wife in the future!"
What kind of girl is this?
This money is for my son, the thought flashed through the minds of people in the room unintentionally.
"This is my eldest son's filial piety to me. Why should I look at other people's faces and take it from other people's hands?"
Li Fengchang knelt down and said, "Mother."
Zuo, who was kneeling on the ground, leaned over and sobbed silently.
The eldest son is a son, and the second son is no one else.
Mrs. Li also noticed that she had lost her composure. She slapped her hand on the table and said this sentence: "Who dares to change this rule!"
Li Min sat crookedly on the ground: "The eldest master told me before he died." He raised his head and said aggrievedly, "I won't lie to others. If you don't believe me, old lady and second master, go and ask other people."
Ask other people? When Li Fengan passed away, no one from the Li family was around. The others were all from Jiannan Road. Asking them is like not asking.
"It's not that the eldest master refuses to show filial piety to the old lady. He knows that he is gone and misses his family, so he made this new rule." Li Min's nasal voice was thick.
Of course there was nothing wrong with what Li Feng'an did. She gave herself a lot of money, and also gave more to Li Fengchang. She couldn't be angry with Li Feng'an. Mrs. Li took a few deep breaths: "I didn't say what he did was wrong. Give new things to new people.
Just send me the old one."
Li Fengchang nodded and looked at Li Min: "After all, it's you who come here. It's all at home. It's only a few steps inside and outside."
Zuo knelt on the ground and sobbed without saying anything.
Li Min's high-pitched voice rose: "No, it's not about me taking a few more steps. Why should I be afraid of taking a few more steps?" He knelt down to Mrs. Li's side again and held the corner of her clothes, "Old Mrs.,
My family asked me to take one person’s stamp back, so it would be wrong for me to take two. I can’t afford it.”
After saying that, he lay on Mrs. Li's lap and started crying.
"Old madam, I'm just an errand boy. Most people run a household just like they run an army. I've violated military law and I'm about to lose my head. Please save me, old madam."
A grown man cried when he cried. Mrs. Li didn't know what to do. As a mother, she knew Li Fengan's temper very well. She had also learned how to run a family for so many years. If it was really the rules set by Jiannan Road
, it is indeed of no use to embarrass Li Min, the errand boy.
However, Mrs. Li thought of a few words in Li Min's words just now.
"You only need to take one person's seal back, right?" she said, looking at Li Min who was lying on her knees, "Then tell your family, take mine, and I will take the one from Feng'an to Fengchang as well."
, and then give it to him, how about that?"
This is not good! Li Fengchang stiffened.
Taking money from his mother is not considered a son who can start a family and support his family.
