A Timely Wife

Emperor Chu Cheng naturally didn't want to spend time with the ministers. He finally got a son when he was in his 40s, and it was born to him by his favorite woman. Immortal things will come here, although he is not afraid of those old people, but it is still very troublesome to deal with this matter, Aifei also repeatedly persuaded him to come here, for Aifei's face, and for the sake of Tell this group of people not to always speak ill of the concubine behind their backs, so Emperor Chu Cheng came here as if giving alms.

Just like that, Emperor Chu Cheng didn't even eat any food, and he couldn't wait to go to the harem after reading the imperial decree. There were his concubine and his prince there. Of course, Emperor Cheng would prefer to be with his concubine and prince.

Chengdong was used to going to work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, so on the morning of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Chengdong naturally woke up on time, startling Li Ruosong lying next to him.

"Why don't you sleep more? But did you have a nightmare last night?" Li Ruosong asked slightly worried.

The closer the day of giving birth, Chengdong's sleep became worse, his legs and feet were swollen, and he always had nightmares. Every time he woke up, he was in a cold sweat. Occasionally, his legs would cramp violently, and Chengdong would feel pain all over his body. Trembling, at first Chengdong was reluctant to wake Li Ruosong up, so he endured it alone, and then he couldn't help it, so he patted Li Ruosong awake.

Li Ruosong has been busier since Cheng Dong became pregnant. Xu is aware of his own shortcomings and is really worried that Cheng Dong will leave him far behind in the future. Li Ruosong is more attentive than before whether it is homework or martial arts. , plus learning how to handle family affairs with Li Qi, he was as busy as a spinning top every day.

Although Chengdong hoped that Li Ruosong could be by his side, he was not unreasonable. Seeing Li Ruosong working so hard for the future of the two of them, it would be a lie to say that he was unhappy.

Speaking of Chengdong's pregnancy news, an elder from the Li clan came to his door. At that time, Chengdong had just found out that he was pregnant and was still in danger. Naturally, this elder would not foolishly seek When Chengdong said something, he took his granddaughter directly to Li Qi and Li Liang, and put forward his ideas while the Li family was in the main hall.

The clan elder hoped that the Li family could accept a good concubine for Li Ruosong according to the rules. After all, Cheng Dong was pregnant and could not serve Li Ruosong. No matter what, it will take more than a month to serve Li Ruosong occasionally.

As a big family, especially a family with a bit of face in Liujiagou, the clan elders felt that Li Ruosong should take a concubine, and for this matter, he also accused Li Chen, saying that Li Chen was a mother but not for his son. Thinking about it, it would be too embarrassing for the Li family if they don't even know how to handle such things as taking concubines, and they are sinners of the Li family if they don't make plans for the Li family.

Afterwards, without waiting for Li Chen's reply, the clan veteran pushed out his granddaughter, saying that his granddaughter was good-looking, hard-working and honest, quite fertile, and she had just reached the age of 19, with a [-]-year-old granddaughter. Li Ruosong is just right. Of course, such an excellent granddaughter of his can't just be an ordinary concubine, but a good concubine. If she gives birth to a son and a half in the future, it will naturally be recorded in Chengdong's name. The status of a concubine is too humiliating to his grandson's status as a girl, and it will be disadvantageous for future scientific examinations.

The clan elder talked to himself for half an hour, until he said that his mouth was dry and he wanted to drink water, only to find that the Li family didn't pour water for him at all. At that moment, the clan elder Then he lost his temper, saying that the servants of the Li family who deceived the master should be sent directly to the officials, and the servants who bullied the master should naturally be beaten to death.

While the clan elder was speaking, Li Qi remained silent, and Li Liang and the others were even more afraid to speak if Li Qi remained silent. Fortunately, brothers Li Ruosong and Li Ruoshan were not in the main hall. For a clan elder, the clan elder might have entered vertically and exited horizontally.

After the clan elder lost his temper, Li Qi put the teacup on the table and said, "It turns out that Mr. Guo came here for this matter. I just don't know if this is what Mr. Guo meant or what the clan meant?"

Li Guo, known as Mr. Guo, heard Li Qi's question, and replied proudly: "My meaning is the meaning of the clan. To be honest, I came here today, and the clan agreed. I must convince you to accept my granddaughter."

Li Qi shook his head secretly. This Li Guo didn't even know he was pushed out as a substitute for a dead ghost. With this brain, it's no wonder that the situation in the family is not as good as the next generation. Thinking of the information that Butler Zhang showed him, Li Qi couldn't help but sigh. If the Li family in Liujiagou hadn't come here, they would have been firmly suppressed by the Liu family for at most three generations.

"The meaning of the family? Liang'er, is this what you mean?" Li Qi asked softly.

Li Liang's scalp tightened, he knew that Li Qi was angry, and he couldn't care about other things at the moment, he stood up and said: "Returning to the father, the child does not know about this matter, and no one in the clan mentioned this matter to the child. .”

Li Qi smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "Liang'er, you have been the patriarch for some time, and you haven't heard any news about such a big matter. This is your first mistake. As the patriarch, you actually You can't even manage these incomprehensible clan elders. How will you manage your clan in the future? This is your second mistake. Our Li family has given so many benefits to the villagers, but the villagers don't know how to be grateful and intend to interfere with me. Housework, you are both the patriarch and the person in charge of the family, and you can't even handle these things. This is your third mistake. Your son-in-law is pregnant with your grandson at this time. As a father, you can't Speak up for your own child, but fail to protect your child from being wronged, this is your fourth mistake, do you agree with these four measures?"

As soon as Li Qi finished speaking, Li Liang knelt down for Li Qi. Li Liang knelt down, and Li Chen quickly followed him. Li Liang knelt on the ground and replied, "My son admits his mistake."

Seeing that Li Liang had a good attitude, Li Qi said: "Very well, children can be taught, so I won't bother you about this matter. You can handle it yourself. If you can't even do this kind of thing, the old man thinks you are not a good patriarch." Whatever."

Li Liang replied: "Yes, my son knows, please rest assured, my son will definitely give Dong'er an explanation for this matter."

Li Qi nodded in satisfaction, and didn't care about the expression of the clan elder sitting there. He drank tea on his own. You forgot your identity, according to the rules, you still have to call me Uncle Tang, is that how you talk to the elders of the clan?"

Li Qi glanced at Li Guo lightly, and said, "Uncle Tang? When I was kicked out of the village when I was penniless, did Uncle Tang think of me as a nephew?"

Li Guo paused, then roared again: "That matter has nothing to do with me, so I'll ask you, do you accept my granddaughter?"

Li Qi snorted coldly, and said: "Today Li is also eye-opening, there is someone so shameless that your granddaughter calls me uncle according to the rules, and her grandfather actually let her cousin accept her!" As a concubine, you are shameless, I still have shame, this concubine forgives Li for not being able to accept it. Come and see off."

Li Guanshi waited for this sentence for a long time, and then unceremoniously twisted Li Guo's arm and took him out. When Li Guo came, he was very excited, thinking that his granddaughter should look good and figure No matter what, the Li family would never refuse a good concubine who had a figure and was sent to her door. It never occurred to her that Li Qi not only refused, but also disrespected herself.

Li Guo was cursing all the time on the way out by Guanshi Li, and he didn't forget to tell people everywhere how arrogant Li Qi was, how domineering and disrespectful to his elders, how doggy he was, and he didn't know good from bad, and he was tempted for a while. Several families, but those who encouraged Li Guo to give Li Ruosong a concubine saw the attitude of Li Qi's family from this incident, and at the same time felt a little bit of sincere admiration.

Thinking about it carefully, Li Qi only had one wife, Li Wushi, and Li Liang only had one wife, Li Chenshi. When it came to Li Ruosong, there was only one husband, and they didn't even have a maid around them. Or it could be the nanny, Li Qi's family tradition is like this. Now that Li Ruosong has no choice, the eyes of the villagers are fixed on Li Ruoshan, which made Li Ruoshan feel a little baffled for a long time. Li Ruoshan always felt that there was nothing good about why the boys and elder brothers who were the same age as him in his class and his brother's class were all so considerate to him.

Li Qi didn't say anything, but Li Liang became angry. Li Liang, who had a bit of benevolence in mind, used a rare means of thunder. First, he made public what Li Guo said and did in the main hall of the Li family. A straightforward statement, and then the punishment of Li Guo's family. Of course, Li Guo's clan elders can't keep it. All the juniors in the family who study in Yueweitang will return home. Yueweitang will not accept these within one year. The children read in the classroom.

The news came back to Li Guo's home, and it was like a bolt from the blue for Li Guo's family. Li Guo didn't come up and fainted. Several children in the family cried and asked Butler Zhang to help with diagnosis and treatment. He didn't refuse, but Li Guo suffered a lot during the treatment process.

These are all secondary. The key is that Li Guo couldn't accept that his son-in-law could not go to Yueweitang for a year. He could only come to the door to admit his mistake in person. Although Li Liang failed to cancel the punishment of the children in the family, at least he got the promise that these children would return to Yueweitang after a year.

As a result, the eyes of the people in the Liujiagou looked at Li Liang changed a lot. Before, they only thought that Li Liang was a kind person who didn't talk much, did things steadily, and was friendly, but now it seems that a tiger is a tiger. It's much scarier to be angry than those who are always smiling.
