Fourth Master Li lowered his head slightly when he heard Li Changyan's words. He knew that his father liked his ninth brother now, and his ninth brother was indeed much smarter than them. When they were young, they studied with his husband. They couldn't memorize those articles for several days. It seemed that his ninth brother was watching It's familiar at first sight.
But at that time, neither their father nor they paid much attention to this matter. Their brothers were born tall, and their father only thought that they would be able to fight for fame in the army in the future. The ninth brother was born more handsome than them, and because of his younger age, his father always felt that The mother spoiled the ninth younger brother and was not too concerned about the ninth younger brother.
My father even wanted to fire him. Later, because of my mother's request, my husband was willing to accept only half of the training and focus on teaching the ninth brother alone. He also told his father that he had taught students for many years and that the ninth brother had the best chance of being listed in the imperial examination in the future. Li If the children of the family are both civil and military, they will definitely make the Li family prosperous in the future.
My father was dubious. Later, when his ninth brother was admired by the academic master during the county examination, his father discovered that his ninth brother might indeed take the imperial examination.
However, there were many children in the family, and the eldest brother and the second brother were both stronger than ordinary people. The father was soon occupied by the eldest brother and the second brother, and the family did not put any effort into cultivating the ninth brother.
Fourth Master Li couldn't remember when his father began to like and care for his ninth brother more than all his brothers.
It seems that my father met a noble man outside. The noble man was good at fortune telling. With his help, my father made great achievements and officially became an official.
Then my father was introduced by a nobleman and made a small fortune.
The situation at home gradually improved, and his father also invited the noble man to his home as a guest. The noble man was shocked when he saw the ninth brother, saying that the ninth brother would definitely bring glory to the family in the future.
To have such a descendant is because the ancestors were virtuous, so my father began to pay special attention to his ninth brother.
Now it is proved that the ninth brother did not disappoint his father.
"Sir," Mrs. Li said with a hint of complaint in her voice, "the child didn't even take a sip of hot water when he arrived."
Li Changyan couldn't help but shake his head, "A loving mother often loses her son..." At this point, he felt something was wrong. All nine sons were protected equally, but Ke Xuer was so outstanding.
Mrs. Li helped Li Changyan change his clothes, and then began to greet Fourth Master Li in a warm voice, "You seem to have lost some weight. Are you working too hard outside?"
Fourth Master Li took out two things from the package, a silver fox waist protector and a pair of knee pads. Then he raised his head and said, "It's for father and mother. Father has to go to Datong in a few days. He travels on horseback all year round. Don't worry." Hurt your knee."
Mrs. Li was filled with joy. "You are still thinking about these," she picked up the waist protector, put it to her nose and smelled it, "What is in here?"
"Salt grains," Mr. Li took out the salt bag stuffed behind his waist protector. "When my mother was tired from traveling, she would fry the salt and apply it hotly on her waist. This would make her feel much more comfortable. The same goes for my father's knee pads." , this salt is good for my father’s old illness.”
Mrs. Li looked at Mr. Li, "I often tell your father that you are the most thoughtful among the brothers."
"Humph," Li Changyan said coldly, "What's the use? It can only do business, and there may not be any big prospects in the future."
Fourth Master Li's face darkened, "I am different from my eldest brother, second brother, and ninth brother about what my father taught me. I don't have such lofty ambitions. I just care about my family..."
"Okay," Li Changyan was worried when he mentioned his hopeless fourth son. Mrs. Li brought the knee pads to Li Changyan to wear, but Li Changyan pushed them away, "After going around in a big circle, you still want to talk about the Kong family. Did the Kong family find you and ask you to help them negotiate and ask your ninth brother to help them get out of trouble?"
Don't wait for Fourth Master Li to speak.
Li Changyan said, "The Kong family was on the garrison in Taiyuan and received a lot of benefits from the favor of the imperial court. However, they still had the desire to rebel. They brought the disaster on themselves."
"Where's the eldest sister?" Mr. Li said, "Who harmed the eldest sister? Who is in a hurry to take her life?"
Li Changyan said calmly, "Your eldest sister didn't tell us everything. Since the court has already investigated, we can just wait for the news."
Fourth Master Li was not frustrated by Li Changyan's attitude. "What news can my father hear in Beijing? Has Taiyuan Prefecture sent anyone to Beijing?"
When Li Changyan heard this, he didn't understand what his son was referring to. "What on earth do you know?"
Mr. Li said, "Does Mr. Kong's father know General Han Shen? I have met General Han Shen at Kong's house before, and I am somewhat familiar with him. This time my son found him on the way to the capital with the caravan.
Resting at an inn, when my son got up in the middle of the night, he happened to meet a person.
If the son is not mistaken, that person is General Han.
My son is just wondering, what this Han Shen will do in the capital, will it be related to the Kong family case, and is he the one who killed the eldest sister?"
The room was quiet for a moment.
Li Changyan was thoughtful, Mrs. Li looked frightened.
Li Changyan said, "Silang, have you really seen clearly?"
Fourth Master Li nodded, "My son happened to meet him face to face, so I can't be wrong."
"Then has he seen you?" Mrs. Li said tremblingly, "What if he really has bad intentions, wouldn't he want to cause trouble for you?"
Fourth Master Li said calmly, "It was dark at the time, and my son had just finished unloading the goods. He was covered in filth. When he saw him, he immediately lowered his head. He probably didn't see his son clearly, otherwise he wouldn't have let him go to Beijing easily."
"It's not impossible," Li Changyan said, "Your eldest sister may know the relationship between Han Shenjiang and Kong Wu, and is afraid that your eldest sister will confess to him, so she attacks your eldest sister first. If your eldest sister makes a mistake, she will be suspected first.
It’s the Kong family that is responsible for this, and no one will think of him.”
Fourth Master Li nodded, "My son thought the same way, so he was anxious to ask about the eldest sister's case." The eldest sister was murdered, and they must know who the real culprit is.
"Sir," Mrs. Li said tremblingly, "should you ask someone to find out if Shiro is wrong and the court will think that we are deliberately shielding the Kong family?"
This is a problem. It's really hard to tell the news easily before everything is confirmed. Li Changyan pondered for a moment and told Mr. Li, "Don't mention this to anyone casually. Let's hear the news before talking."
Mrs. Li told Fourth Master Li, "Go and change your clothes first and take a rest. Maybe your ninth brother will be back soon. I'll ask your ninth brother then."
Fourth Master Li quickly came out of the house and walked to the yard when Mrs. Li persuaded Li Changyan, "Don't be too harsh on Si Lang."
Fourth Master Li felt warm in his heart. His mother always had to speak for him in front of his father. Although he was not as good as his ninth brother, his mother cared about him very much. Every time he thought of his mother when he was away, he wished he could go home immediately to fulfill his filial piety.
Mr. Li just walked into the house.
"Fourth Master," the young man whispered, "the eldest son of the Jiang family sent a message saying that the Song family wants to see him."
Fourth Master Li was stunned. He and the uncle of the Jiang family agreed to come back separately to ask for news. Unexpectedly, the uncle of the Jiang family also made progress. His father had already said that he could not mention General Han to others casually. Should he tell the uncle of the Jiang family?
He doesn't want to see the Song family for the time being.
