Quick Travel: The Happy Life of the Enchanting Banshee

Chapter 223 The heroine’s lost brother when she was young 23

Li Qingheng didn't stay in the village for a few days before he received his letter of appointment. He was quite satisfied when he saw that he was an official of the sixth grade.

Father Li and Wang Lihua, who were waiting on the side, hurriedly said: "How is it? Son, how many ranks of officials will the emperor grant you? It doesn't matter how big or small the official is. As long as we work hard, we will definitely be promoted."

Li Qingheng said happily: "Mom and Dad, I am an official of the sixth rank. In the past, the number one scholar was at most the eighth rank. Because the emperor didn't have many people to use, he gave his son such a high official."

Although Li Qingheng explained clearly to his parents, Li's father and Wang Lihua always believed that it was their son's good knowledge that earned him the emperor's attention and was assigned such a high official position.

I really don’t believe that the emperor is the most powerful person in the world. How can there be a shortage of people?

Li Qingheng didn't bother to explain these things. His parents could just think whatever they wanted. There was no harm in it anyway.

Rumors spread in Lijia Village that Li Qingheng was promoted to a sixth-grade official, and Li Jiaojiao became an official lady. How could people not be envious and jealous?

Some people even had crooked ideas, asking for small favors from the past, and asking Father Li and Mother Li to marry Jiaojiao to a few families in the village.

It's a pity that they were suppressed by the clan leader and village chief. This is not the time for them to jump around blindly. If they offend Li's father, Li's mother, and Li Qingheng.

People like them don't want to take any advantage.

The patriarch naturally understood the seriousness of this, so he could only apologize with a smile, which made Li Qingheng's family look less ugly.

Li Jiaojiao was even more angry. She didn't want to marry into those families as a daughter-in-law.

Not to mention that she is already an official lady, which does not match their status.

Those families were famously shrewd and unreasonable, and their daughters-in-law were tortured to the point of being turned into a living hell.

In particular, they favored boys over girls. None of the granddaughters in that family were decent, and their clothes were in tatters, even worse than the beggars in the town.

Sometimes they go too far, punishing the female doll for most of her life.

Sometimes the villagers couldn't stand it and secretly gave the girl some delicious food.

If she was discovered, she would even go to the other person's door and blackmail her, saying that her daughter had eaten her food and had a bad stomach, and she had to pay for it.

From then on, no one dared to lend a helping hand to feed their baby girl.

Those girls seemed pitiful, but they were taught by those people to lose their outlook on life, and according to their family members, they could only be described as pitiful and hateful.

Although Li Qingheng doesn't know what kind of person his sister wants to marry, but his sister has just become a grown-up girl, does she really want to stay for two more years?

Daughters from wealthy families will naturally not marry too early. After all, anyone who loves their daughter will not let a woman marry too early, except those who do not regard women as women and prefer sons over daughters.

Father Li and Mother Li thought that after their son took office, they would ask some nuns to teach their daughters the rules.

Mother Li also wanted to teach her how to be a daughter-in-law and how to deal with the difficulties of her mothers-in-law, so that she could safely marry off her daughter.

It is even more important to find someone who is reliable and can give your daughter a lifetime of happiness.

The Li family's parents had no intention of marrying Li Jiaojiao into a wealthy family. They certainly couldn't support Li Jiaojiao. They just needed to find someone who couldn't turn their palms under their eldest son's hands and treat Jiaojiao well.

Because it is Lijia Village, there must be an ancestral hall.

Li Qingheng went to the ancestral hall with his parents. After offering incense and praying in the ancestral hall, he returned to their home.

Li Qingheng didn't want to delay, but he also wanted to resolve family matters, so he gave the patriarch a hundred taels of silver and asked him to help take care of his old yard.

He even promised the clan leader that if there was anything he could write to the capital, he would reply if it could be handled. If it was something that couldn't be handled, he would not reply.

The clan leader quickly agreed with a smile. After all, this was the official's promise.

Maybe in the future, if my youngest son succeeds in studying, he can find a job with Li Qingheng.

Don't say anything, the patriarch should be selfless.

The patriarch is also a human being, and naturally he has selfish motives. He will also seek some benefits for his family.

Only the clan leader knew about this matter, and naturally he would not tell anyone else.

Everyone in the village is named Li. What should I do if I want to use this favor from him?

After all, this was what Li Qingheng told him, so this favor naturally belongs to him.

I have already asked my parents to take some changeable clothes and important items, but not to take anything else.

After all, these things are many years old. Although they are not that shabby, they are not all taken away.

After all, he has a mansion distributed by the imperial court. Although the mansion is not very big, it is enough.

What's more, Li Qingheng also knew that their family had accumulated a lot of money over the years.

Although Li's father and Li's mother didn't say anything, Li Qingheng knew something about it.

Father Li and Mother Li didn't think about buying it anymore when they heard that their son still had a mansion.

After all, no one knows how many years his son has been an official there. If he changes places again, it would not be worthwhile to buy some houses there.

Not to mention that you can rent it out, but you must know that the fastest travel method nowadays is a horse-drawn carriage.

Even if it is a carriage, if it is too far away, it will take several months to go back and forth. This rent collection is not dangerous enough.

After Li's father and Li's mother packed up all their important things, they drove the carriage with their three children and left Lijiacun.

What Li's father and Li's mother didn't know was that Li Fubao had a date with the scholar the night before they left.

Li Fubao's eyes were naturally filled with disgust, and although the scholar could see it clearly and clearly, he still held back to please Li Fubao.

His family is not rich, so he can only find someone with a wealthy family so that he can get the honors. When he gets the honors, he will naturally divorce. This Li Fubao makes him look down on himself.

Li Fubao wanted to get Li Qingheng, so he naturally despised the scholar.

The scholar and Li Fubao struggled for a long time, and Li Fubao finally said impatiently: "You should go back quickly. It is impossible for me to marry you. I already have a sweetheart, and that is Li Qingheng from our village. He is now in the sixth grade. Senior official, if you offend me, your dog's life will be in danger."

The scholar couldn't believe that Li Fubao could seduce someone with his beauty.

Li Fubao saw the scholar's unbelieving look and said, "I play best with his sister, so naturally we can get along and develop feelings for each other."

The scholar saw that Li Fubao was not lying, so he became concerned.

I thought that since I couldn't marry Li Fubao, I could only get some benefits.

The scholar said: "Fu Bao, since you don't want to marry me and I don't want to marry you, then you have to give me some benefits. I am missing the exam and I don't have much silver, just twenty taels. I believe that you, the future The official’s wife should be able to take out the money.”

Li Fubao heard that this scholar dared to ask for twenty taels of silver from him.

But he also understood the threat in the scholar's words.

Li Fubao was afraid that the scholar would really die, so he could only grit his teeth and give the money to the scholar.
