Chapter 500 Flesh and Flesh

Chengxian Street, Dongcheng, Shenjing, Li Mansion.

This place is only a stone's throw away from Guozijian.

In the past, there were great Confucian scholars talking and laughing, and no white people coming and going in the Li Mansion, but today the gates and corner gates are closed.

The personal guard went to knock on the door, and after a while, a word came out from the door: "The master has not seen any outsiders today, please come back if you come. Another day, the master will personally apologize to you."

The guard said loudly: "Our Lord Hou sent the grandma of the Rong Mansion back to her natal family to visit her relatives, open the door quickly."

As soon as the words came out, there was a moment of silence inside, and he said: "It turns out that the aunt is back, but... the honored guest, please wait first, and the young one will report it to the old lady."

After all, hurried inside.

After a cup of tea, the door opened, and three men from the Li family in Confucian clothes greeted them.

Jia Qiang also got off her horse, walked forward, cupped her hands and said, "Benhou came here today to escort my aunt to Mrs. Li Jiatai."

Seeing that his expression was indifferent and he did not meet with the courtesy of a junior, the men of the Li family felt a little displeased.

But thinking about the fact that his son Li Shouzhong was escorted back by two personal soldiers rudely when he came back, he knew that this man did not regard the Li family as serious relatives.

In addition, there was also fear in my heart, so I didn't say much, and invited inside.

Li Wan's carriage drove all the way to the second gate. Although the Li family was far from rich and wealthy, it was also a family that passed on the poems and ceremonies of hairpin tassels for generations, so the Li family did not look shabby.

There are bamboo stones and poems engraved everywhere, revealing the fragrance of writing and ink.

After Li Wan got out of the car in front of the second gate, he looked at the three men from the Li family with a faintly excited face, bowed his knees and saluted with tears in his eyes, "Greetings to the second master, elder brother, and second brother."

These three people are Li Wan's direct uncle and two elder brothers.

The three of them were all moved when they saw Li Wan, who was dressed in plain clothes, without makeup, and looked like a haggard man.

The Li family had strict etiquette and rules, Jia Zhu was in fashion when the married daughter splashed water, and Li Wan and Jia Zhu accompanied her back to her natal home to meet her relatives.

But after Jia Zhu's death, Li Shouzhong strictly ordered Li Wan to be a widow in Jia's family at ease.

In order to stop her from thinking about it in case, she was not even allowed to go back to her mother's house.

Such things are not uncommon in the so-called Confucian families who inherit the poems and rites.

After her husband died, apart from Jia Lan, Li Wan's heart was as lifeless as dead ashes, and the mother's family contributed more than half of the effort...

After the three men from the Li family got excited, they were a little worried again, and said to Li Wan, "Master didn't know you were back, it was the old lady who let you and... Ninghou come in."

Hearing this, Li Wan felt cold in his heart, forced a smile, and said, "It was also to see the old lady..."

Jia Qiang didn't want to delay for a long time, since it was meaningless to talk to these people, she said, "Auntie, go see Mrs. Tai first."

Li Wan also saw Jia Qiang's dislike for Li's family, and felt sad, but he was not willing to disobey, so they went to Li Jiaming's heart hall together.

This attitude made Li Wan's two elder brothers very dissatisfied.

From their point of view, the Li family can be regarded as Jia Qiang's elders. Moreover, the Li family married a daughter into the Jia family and insisted that she keep the festival. Isn't it for the good of the Jia family?

But I didn't expect to be so ungrateful!

But they don't know that now in Jia Qiang's heart, it is really difficult to get close to people like them who read books and lose their humanity.

If Jia Qiang took a step back today, these people would dare to preach to him as their parents.

Furthermore, Jia Qiang remembered that in the original world, in two or three years, Li Wan's widowed aunt and her two daughters would come to Beijing to seek refuge in the Li family.

Jia Qiang didn't know how Li Shouzhong lost his official position in the original novel, and why his family returned to Jinling and Nanjing, and he didn't know how Li Wan, the second uncle, died...

But most of them are also involved in things that should not be involved.

If a person wants to die, who can stop him?

Jia Qiang didn't have the same intentions, and came to clean up the mess for the Li family.

Simply, it is better to clearly define the distance and boundaries early.

……

Enter Li Jiaming's Heart Hall.

Li Wan's biological mother died early since childhood, and his stepmother was not close.

It was Mrs. Li's wife who brought her up single-handedly, added a lot of dowry, and married her into Jia's family decently.

Originally thought it was an unparalleled good marriage in the world, but Jia Zhu died early, leaving Li Wan alone to keep the festival, pulling Jia Lan.

What's more, she can't go back to her natal family. So far, she hasn't seen her for five or six years.

Today I saw him, but Li Wan couldn't even speak. He just knelt at Madam Tai's feet, tears streaming down his face.

Mrs. Li's wife was gray-haired, a thin old lady, seeing Li Wan at this moment, she was also crying from excitement, she hugged her granddaughter with trembling hands, looking at her poor clothes, she seemed to feel pain in her heart.

After a while, under the persuasion of the two wives of the Li family, Mrs. Li's wife and Li Wan finally let go.

Jia Qiangfang came forward to greet her, and then said: "Mrs. Tai, my aunt is filial to the old lady and aunt in Jia's house. On weekdays, she leads a group of Jia's sisters to study and become female celebrities, and also raises Jia Lan. No one in the Jia family respects her virtue and does not feel grateful for her filial piety. It is also the intention of our wife, Mrs. Jia, to send my aunt back to the Li family today. This family relationship. The two families are not very far apart. There is no reason to separate the family, so that the brothers and sisters cannot see each other. This time, if the aunt did not really miss Li Jijiu in her heart, she would not dare to come back. This is really unreasonable .”

When these words fell into the ears of the Li family, they felt a little harsh.

In their view, the Li family did this not only for the Li family's reputation, but also for the Jia family.

Now that Jia's family is getting better, they still talk sarcasticly, which is really not a son of man.

However, Mrs. Li Jiatai was still happy. After all, with Jia Qiang's words, when Li Wan returned to her mother's house, at least the resistance from Jia's house would disappear.

She held Li Wan's hand tightly, and said: "Okay! Okay! Since your husband's family is so open-minded, I will talk to the master later. How many more years can I live? I won't see you often, I can't close my eyes tightly."

When Li Wan heard this, he began to cry again.

After a while, Li Wan's stepmother Yan said with a smile: "Girl, don't cry. When you cry, the old lady will also cry. The old lady's eyes are not very good now. The doctor said, don't cry too much."

Hearing this, Li Wan hurriedly took a handkerchief to stop her tears, and said with a forced smile, "Don't cry, don't cry, old lady don't cry either."

Mrs. Li Jiatai patted her hand, still feeling sad in her heart.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Mrs. Li Jiatai didn't intend to speak, Yan said anxiously from the side: "Miss, what's going on with the master? It's so good, how could it be seen by someone with a personal soldier? What?"
