[Red House] Li Changan

Daiyu was lying on the table, staring up at the drizzle outside the window, unconsciously curling the corners of her mouth.

The rain in the south of the Yangtze River always makes people have a different kind of interest. If you want to take a walk in the streets and alleys with an umbrella, it seems that you can walk into the poetic and picturesque.

After staying in the capital for these years, I almost forgot what summer in the south of the Yangtze River is like.

At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the weather in the south is the most unpredictable.

The sun was still shining when we saw off Li Xijing’s family yesterday, and after she and Li Chang’an returned to their room after dinner, it began to drizzle. land.

It rained all night and didn't stop until noon, but the rain slowed down a lot, and it seemed to moisten things silently, but it was just the wrong season.

Putting her cheek on the other hand, Daiyu sighed softly, turned her eyes back and looked towards the door, but she didn't see the person she was thinking of appearing, so she couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

Knowing that it was only half a day, but he was always thinking about what exactly Li Changan did.

Early this morning, Zhao Qing, who had appeared in the gazebo yesterday, waited outside, and when Li Changan woke up, he immediately reported something to Li Changan.

Li Changan accompanied her to have breakfast, and told her that if she wanted to rest, she should go back to bed and lie down for a while, and not rush to go to Fengya Garden to talk with Ruan Shi, and then went out.

Daiyu thought about it, and she had nothing else to do, so she packed up and went to talk with Ruan Shi, and returned to her yard almost at lunch time.

Just as I was thinking about going to lie down and take a nap, I heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

"Girl! It's terrible, master, the master has personally tied up my uncle! He is kneeling in the front hall right now, go and have a look, madam has already passed!"

Xueyan was so impatient, she said as soon as she entered the door, "Look, I'm about to be beaten."

"what?!"

Daiyu stood up suddenly, and walked out while asking: "What's going on? Did your father-in-law say anything about it?"

"I don't know, I just said yes, the master happened to come back from the Yamen, and he met him on the way, so he brought him back." Xueyan said anxiously: "Could it be——"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zijuan grabbed Xueyan and looked at Daiyu with a frown: "Don't worry, girl, my uncle is a measured man and doesn't know how to mess around. What's more, my uncle's heart for girls is very obvious. You can see it."

Hearing that Li Chang'an was going to be beaten, Daiyu didn't have the heart to listen to Zijuan and Xueyan's talk, she walked faster and faster along the corridor to the front hall.

Sure enough, Zhao Qing must have said something to Li Changan yesterday, otherwise, why would Li Changan suddenly go out early in the morning, she doesn't know anything about this, how can she say love?I don't even know where to start!

Seeing this, Zijuan and Xueyan hurriedly followed, and seeing Mama Wang sticking her head out of the room, she hurriedly said: "Mom, you should keep an eye on the things on the stove, don't get confused."

"Where are you going? What's wrong with my uncle?" Seeing the three people leaving in a hurry, Mama Wang couldn't help sighing, "You're in a hurry, what's wrong!"

The three masters and servants arrived outside the front hall one after the other. Before they approached, they had already heard Li Chong's reprimand.

Daiyu, who was about to go down the steps, was in a daze when she heard Li Chong's reprimand. The rain from the corner of the eaves hit her face.

Zicuckoo next to her was so anxious that she opened her umbrella and followed: "Girl, don't get drenched!"

In the front hall, Ruan cried and reached out to stop him, and the others followed to pull Li Chong, for fear that the whip in his hand would really fall on Li Changan.

But Li Chong is the head of the family and an official of the imperial court. No one would dare to pull him. Only Ruan tried his best to stop him.

Despite all the persuasion, the whip still landed on Li Changan's back, leaving shocking bloodstains one by one.

"Daiyu pays homage to her father-in-law and mother-in-law!" Daiyu put down her skirt, walked into the hall, only glanced at Li Changan and stopped looking at him, just walked to Li Chong's side.

The whip in Li Chong's hand stopped, he couldn't help looking at Daiyu, suppressed his anger, and said: "It's cold outside, why are you outside?"

"I heard that my father-in-law and my husband-in-law came back together, so I wanted to come over to greet you." Daiyu suppressed the worries in her heart and said calmly: "You have been busy with official business these two days, and you are not at home for lunch and dinner. When my mother-in-law and I were talking together, They all miss you."

After saying these words, Li Chong put away his whip, turned around and walked to the upper seat, sat down, and took a sip of tea.

Seeing this, Daiyu quietly breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Ruan Shi, and nodded slightly—at least she stopped her, she was a new wife, so Li Chong naturally couldn't be too harsh in front of her.

Family law is necessary, but no one can stand such a beating.

"You girl, you can talk." Seeing Daiyu's small movements, Li Chong couldn't help but smiled, and said helplessly: "Ask yourself, what good thing did this kid do? He really can't keep his peace for a few days, and he's about to make a fuss. Something to do!"

When Li Changan was mentioned, the smile on Li Chong's face disappeared without a trace.

After hearing this, Daiyu looked at Li Chang'an as if she wanted permission. Looking at the bloodstains, she took a breath, but at the same time felt that Li Chang'an's unchanging face and unyielding appearance was a bit naive.

How can there be such a thing, you will not admit your mistakes, and...

The relationship between father and son is too bad.

"father."

Daiyu just said a word, and everyone in the hall showed surprised expressions, after all, Daiyu has rarely been so close in terms of address in the past few days.

"My husband is already eighteen. He has his own plans for what he does. He doesn't steal, rob, murder or set fire. Even running a small stall on the street is a serious job." Daiyu paused for a while. Suddenly felt the change in Li Changan's eyes, it was too hot.

Weiwei looked away, her face was slightly hot, she straightened her thoughts before continuing: "I trust him."

Ruan's and Li Chong's surprised expressions were exactly the same, as if they didn't realize what Daiyu said just now.

This--

Everyone was still shocked by Daiyu's words, when Li Changan's clear voice sounded, causing another wave.

"Look at you, how long has the lady been married, and she believes in me more than you. In your eyes, am I a heinous person or a robber who murdered and set fire?"

"How dare you say that! Entering other people's shops to act violently in the street, the streets are full of spectators, and the police come to the door quickly. If you don't cooperate with the investigation, you still want to shoot. Who do you think you are? Do you know how many people in the yamen sue you every month? Common people? Could it be that someone else did what you did yourself?"

Li Changan laughed loudly when he heard the words, and looked at Li Chong: "What you say is right. In the end, it was found out that I was responsible for those cases?"

"You're still stubborn!"

"Erlang, stop talking!"

Ruan was so frightened that she rushed to Li Changan's side, hugged Li Changan, looked at Li Chong who got up, and burst into tears: "Master, he is also your son, no matter what he does wrong, he is our child, you, you can't just because of those rumors outside You misunderstood him!"

Li Chong was in a hurry and wanted to make another move, but Daiyu was still standing beside her, and in a fit of anger, she threw the whip on the chair and left with a flick of her sleeve.

"Go and kneel in the ancestral hall, and you are not allowed to come out until dawn!"

Is this... a big scene?

Standing there, Daiyu's heart sank, and she couldn't help but glance at Zijuan and Xueyan who were stunned outside the hall, and smiled helplessly.

It really opened her eyes. Is the relationship between father and son the same all over the world?

"Nurse Chang, help mother go back to rest, my husband is with me."

Nanny Chang, who was bending over to support Ruan Shi, was Ruan Shi's wet nurse. Hearing about Daiyu this time, she was a little hesitant, but before she could figure it out, Ruan Shi had already got up.

Leaning softly in her arms, looking at Daiyu: "Good boy, thank you for your hard work."

"Mother is too worried." Daiyu watched Ruan Shi and Nanny Chang leave, then glanced at the butler at the side, and after thinking for a while, she remembered the name of this honest-looking middle-aged man.

"Uncle Qi, the servants of the family want to trouble you."

Uncle Qi was stunned, and nodded quickly: "Young Madam, don't worry, I will definitely take care of it, and this matter cannot be spread."

Hearing this, Daiyu felt relieved, knelt down and looked at Li Changan, seeing Li Changan's tense mouth, she sighed softly, and behind her helped him push the hair sticking to his face and wipe away the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Daiyu suddenly felt that Li Changan must be very lonely.

Since he was a child, he had his parents by his side, an elder brother who seemed to dislike him but protected his shortcomings, a loving mother and a strict father, no matter what he did wrong, someone would take care of the aftermath.

How could such a Li Changan be lonely?But Daiyu really felt that Li Changan's life was not happy, even though he did many seemingly unruly happy things, they couldn't make him really happy in his heart.

Looking up at Zijuan and Xueyan at the door: "Go to the room to get some trauma medicine, and prepare some food, preferably porridge, and send it to the ancestral hall."

"Ancestral hall?"

"Do you want me to help you find where the ancestral hall is?" Daiyu finished speaking, and just as she was about to reach out to help Li Changan, Li Changan stood up and walked out.

Staring at Li Changan's back in a daze, Daiyu suddenly realized that except for the two sentences just now, Li Changan hadn't said a word, and he hadn't even uttered a word when he was beaten.

After being stunned, Daiyu winked at Zijuan, took an umbrella and followed Li Changan.

Li Changan was tall, and Daiyu stretched her arms to lift the umbrella over his head, but in this way, almost all the rain fell on her face, and after a while, her hair stuck to her face and neck.

For some reason, Daiyu stubbornly held the umbrella, her arms were sore and she refused to let it go, she pursed her lips, and followed Li Changan without saying a word.

The old servant guarding outside the ancestral hall was dozing off. When he heard the movement, he raised his eyes and thought he was dazzled. He rubbed his eyes and hurried out from the corridor in fright.

"Master, young lady—"

Before he finished speaking, Li Changan and Daiyu walked past him and entered the ancestral hall.

Which one is this?The old servant was puzzled, patted his head, shook his shoulders, went to sit on the side, and yawned—forget it, Li Changan is also a frequent visitor to the ancestral hall.

Li Xijing is 22 years old now, and the number of times he has been fined to kneel can be counted on one hand. As for Li Changan?There are not enough beads in that abacus.

In front of the tablet of the Li family, Li Chang'an straightened his back, knelt there, and still did not speak.

Turning around and closing the door gently, Daiyu stood behind Li Changan, looked at the wound on his back, bit her lower lip, and couldn't help but said, "Who are you angry with? Are you even ignoring me?"
