Respectfully

Chapter 8

Li Jinyan's dowry list caused another wave in the Li family.

Mr. Li and Mrs. Li cursed inwardly: This little bastard is too greedy!

Dyefang and Buzhuang gave it away, and Yinlou Tea House also made sense. The pawn shop owned by the old lady Zhao is even more like a hen holding golden eggs!These are not enough, and the five hundred acres of land have been increased to seven hundred acres!This is simply digging out the flesh of Mr. Li and Mrs. Li!

Let Mr. Li and Mrs. Li be entangled in every possible way, and even uttered threats, but the second lady refused to let go.Mrs. Li wanted to say a few words, and the old lady was beating and drumming, and the third lady even stood by the second lady's side openly.For a while, in the main room where Mrs. Li and the old lady lived, there was almost a small commotion every three days, and a big commotion every five days. The servants and girls were all discussing in private.

Li Jinyan is "obedient". The second and third wives asked him not to interfere in this matter, but he really didn't care. He either stayed in the study all day, or put on a cloak and walked a few steps in the garden of Li's mansion to exercise. Take a look at your body.Li Sanshao had neglected to recuperate before, and was pushed into the ice cave in the cold winter months. Thanks to Dr. Liu's superb medical skills, the root cause of the disease was not left behind.After walking for a while, Li Jinyan had to stop to rest, secretly annoyed, his body was too weak, not to mention anything else, if something happened in the future, running would be a problem.

Now it's the Republic of China. Although peace has been negotiated between the north and the south, I can't bear the fact that the warlords, large and small, have their own selfishness. They fight every three days, and fight every five days. I will appear on the stage after you sing, even though there has not been a power-up and flying all over the sky. Wonderful scene, in the end not peaceful.

The six northern provinces where Marshal Lou is in charge are still good. Once out of the six northern provinces, not to mention other places, the four provinces of the Central Plains had fought a war not long ago, and it was only after a few days of mediation by President Sima that they stopped.The Jiangsu-Zhejiang area bordering the south is also not peaceful. It has been a land of fish and rice since ancient times, and it is also the location of the first few ports of the Qing court to trade. Naturally, its prosperity is not comparable to that of the slightly backward north.

Marshal Lou's brother, President Sima, has coveted these sites for a long time. Unlike President Zheng Da, who has a false name in the southern sky, he actually holds a strong army under his hands.When he spoke, officials and warlords of all sizes in the north would not dare not listen. Without his instigation, Marshal Han in Shandong would not have dared to speak harshly to Marshal Song who held the six southern provinces. Holding Song Zhou from the six provinces in his hand, some people said that Han Anshan was crazy about money, but people in the northern government knew that it was President Sima who wanted to attack the south.

As for the peace agreement, in the eyes of these northern warlords who are always staring at the fertile land in the south, it is no different from a piece of waste paper.

Li Jinyan's greatest interest during this period is reading newspapers. He wants to understand this generation as soon as possible, understand where he is, and clarify every step he should take next. He already has a plan, but the success of the plan depends on every Not a single detail can be neglected.

In addition to these, Li Jinyan also discovered one thing, this year was the third year of the Republic of China, but it was 1911!I don't know which butterfly flapped its wings, but Emperor Xuantong was blown away.Not long after the death of Guangxu and Cixi, the Anqing Revolution, which should have failed in history, succeeded by accident due to the response of the new army and people of insight before the Qing court put the little emperor on the throne.However, the person who led the revolution was not Xu Xilin, but Zheng Huai'en, the current Southern President.

As a result, the Wuchang Uprising in history disappeared, as did the Revolution of [-], replaced by the Anqing Uprising and the Wushen Revolution led by President Zheng Da.

After the revolution, the domestic situation was not much different from the development after the [-] Revolution in history. The same power ministers came to power, warlords separated each other, and North and South confronted each other.Foreign forces took the opportunity to intervene, and the huge country was almost torn apart.President Sima in the north saw clearly the cowardice and incompetence of the southern government, so he immediately rose up to separate himself, and with the help of the army in his hands, he conquered the current country.

This great president seems to hate the Japanese very much, and he doesn't deal with Britain and France very much, but he is very close to Germany and the United States.This made Li Jinyan think that this President Sima was also a clown, but he had never met this president face to face, so Li Jinyan did not dare to say so.

Li Jinyan felt that, regardless of whether Sima Jun was a party member or an aboriginal with more personality, if such a heroic figure could really unify the country, it would be a good thing.

He took out his pocket watch from his pocket and looked at the time, it was time to go back, otherwise Zhi'er should start talking.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Li Jinqin in the big room standing at the edge of the Chaoshou corridor and looking at him, with a half-smile on his face, which was indescribably weird.

Li Jinyan didn't have a good impression of this girl.How ruthless must this girl be to be able to persuade her own brother to push her cousin into the ice hole?

Impatient to deal with her, Li Jinyan turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Jinqin from behind: "Third brother."

Hearing this greeting, Li Jinyan slipped and almost fell to the ground.He couldn't hide the look of astonishment on his face, as if he didn't know that this girl called him a little bastard in private?Calling myself third brother so politely, the sun came out from the west?

Li Jinyan had a hunch that this matter was wrong, so he decided to go ahead with the 36 plan.As if he didn't hear her yelling behind her, Li Jinyan ran back to the east room in a hurry.

Zhi'er was sweeping the eaves with a feather duster, when she saw Li Jinyan lift the curtain, leaning against the door frame with a red face and panting, she was startled: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't mention it soon." Li Jinyan waved his hand, walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, drank it a few times, and finally felt better.Today's incident is too strange, and I always feel uneasy.

Thinking of Li Jinqin's previous deeds, Li Sanshao couldn't help but think viciously, who will they harm in the future after Mr. Li and Mrs. Li have taught the girl to be like this?

Just as Zhi'er was about to speak, the sound of arguing and the cry of a little girl came from outside the door.Zhi'er frowned, opened the curtain, and saw the eldest lady Li Jinqin shouting: "Teach her a lesson! Things that don't have eyes, I really thought they would fly to Gao Zhi! If you have support, you dare not let me go!" In the eyes?!"

Zhi'er frowned, and stepped forward to pull the little girl behind her. There was a red slap mark on the little girl's face, which was already swollen.

"Miss, the third young master just happens to be ill and can't help making noise, you..."

"What are you, dare to talk to me like that?!" Li Jinqin raised his hand and slapped Zhi'er.

Zhi'er covered her face, her eyes were red, she was Li Jinyan's big girl, she had no reason to be scolded by Li Jinqin with her mouth, and hit with her hand, the Li family didn't have such rules!

Li Jinqin saw that Zhi'er didn't kneel down to beg for mercy, so she simply raised her hand again, but she didn't want her wrist to be grabbed, and raised her head, Li Jinyan was looking at her with a gloomy expression.

Looking at Li Jinyan's dark eyes that seemed to be bottomless, Li Jinqin suddenly felt a little scared, but still braced his neck: "Li Jinyan, let me go!"

Li Jinyan laughed back angrily: "Didn't you call me third brother just now? Why did you change your mind?"

Li Jinqin raised his other hand, and swung it directly at Li Jinyan's face. Li Jinyan ducked his head back, and Li Jinqin's slap missed, and he gritted his teeth unwillingly: "You little rabbit... ah!"

Before he finished speaking, he felt a piercing pain in the wrist held by Li Jinyan.Li Jinqin's eye circles turned red instantly, and tears began to roll in their sockets.

Li Jinyan was still smiling, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and Li Jinqin began to tremble, not knowing whether it was from fright or pain.

The eldest girl following Li Jinqin had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Third young master, let the eldest miss go."

The people in the big house have been used to being arrogant in the past two years, and the girl who served Li Jinqin was used to seeing Li Jinqin's troubles with the third young master in the past.But today's Third Young Master is very different, as if he is a different person.Intuitive, don't mess with it.

Li Jinyan turned his head and glanced at her, then at the little girl who was held in Zhi'er's arms, still twitching a little, the slap marks on the faces of the little girl and Zhi'er made Li Jinyan's eyes glaring: "Just now, who hit her? "

When the girl was asked by Li Jinyan, her body froze obviously. Li Jinyan raised an eyebrow: "It's you?" A few people stopped him, and they were not allowed to go to save people, and they had to retreat until the second lady arrived.

The girl didn't dare to speak, but felt a cold air rushing up from her back.Li Jinyan threw away Li Jinqin's hand and kicked the girl directly, only to hear a bang, the girl was kicked by Li Jinyan and flew out, fell to the ground, unable to stand up for a while.

Li Jinqin and the people around her were all frightened, even the girl in Sanfang was frightened. Third young master, how could you just do it?

Li Jinyan didn't care so much, turned to look at the pale Li Jinqin, and said, "How about it, is it fun?"

Li Jinqin looked at Li Jinyan as if looking at a stranger.Is this still the stupid Li Jinyan?

The smile on Li Jinyan's face was very gentle, but it made her feel scared, unusually scared, just like when her elder brother Li Jincheng was angry, no, it was more than that... Li Jinqin couldn't help shivering.

"I don't want to pursue the past." Li Jinyan walked up to Li Jinqin and stood still, saying word by word: "But, don't let it happen again, otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences, understand?"

Li Jinqin's face was almost transparent.

Li Jinqin came to trouble Li Jinyan, but was taught a lesson instead, and the news that the girl next to her was almost kicked to death by the third young master spread throughout the Li family that day.Li Jinqin cried hoarsely in the eldest lady's arms, yelling for the eldest lady to vent her anger. The eldest lady had just been squeezed by the second and third wives before, and she was full of anger and had nowhere to vent her anger. This time it was even worse. Hatred adds new hatred, wishing to tear up the two short-lived ghosts in Erfang immediately, but was stopped by Mr. Li.

"What do you want to do? Don't go!"

"master?"

The eldest lady looked at Elder Li in disbelief: "Our family's Jinqin has been bullied like this, why don't we just let that little bastard go!"

"Anyway, don't go now!"

Li Qingchang stopped the eldest lady, and said to Li Jinqin: "From tomorrow onwards, Jinqin will stay in the west room, and she is not allowed to trouble the second room. Do you hear me clearly?"

Li Jinqin is not afraid of everything, but her elder brother and father are the only ones she is afraid of. Even if Master Li restrained her feet in a disguised form, Li Jinqin dared not speak out again, but just wrote another note to Li Jinyan in her heart.

Seeing that her daughter had been wronged, the Eldest Master didn't allow her to pursue it, so she couldn't help shedding tears, "Master, what do you mean? Jinqin was wronged."

Li Qingchang glared at the eldest lady, "Do you think that little bastard is the same as before, and you can handle it? Have you forgotten what Young Marshal Lou gave him before?!"

"My lord is saying?"

"I've heard the news in the past two days that Mrs. Lou has already discussed with Marshal Lou about preparing the dowry, and also asked someone to calculate the date. Jincheng will return home at the end of the year. During this time, nothing can go wrong! That little bastard, now It's more expensive than before. I can understand that his previous temperament was all just pretending! He's clearly a wolf cub! If Jincheng wants to have a good future, he can't offend him too much now."

"Then, the dowry..."

"Just follow the second room's proposal!"

"But it's too much!"

"Do as I say!" Mr. Li slapped the table violently, the teacups on the table jumped up and fell over, and the hot tea dripped along the edge of the table, which shows how much effort he used. "No matter what the second room asks, I will agree!"

The eldest lady reluctantly agreed, and Li Jinqin was too frightened by Mrs. Li's harsh words to dare to speak out.Satisfied, Li Qingchang stood up and said, "I'm going to Xiuhua's room."

The next day, Mrs. Li ate breakfast directly in his concubine's room and got up to go to work. Mrs. Li's face was dark all day long.

The sudden change in Da Fang's attitude made the Second Wife and Li Jinyan feel a little strange. Li Jinqin was taught a lesson by Li Jinyan before, so why did the Da Fang not come to trouble the Second House, but let go of the dowry?

The third lady directly advised the second lady: "Don't care what kind of medicine they sell in the gourd. If you give it to you, just keep it. It will be beneficial if you get it!"

After hearing this, the second lady also felt that it made sense.

Li Jinyan thought about it carefully, but he couldn't figure out why Li Qingchang's attitude changed 180 degrees. He simply didn't want to think about it. Once the contract papers from the dyeing workshop and the cloth shop were in hand, his plan could be implemented.

In the so-called troubled times, what makes the most money?Arms, food, medicine!

Not to mention the fact that the warlords in the country are fighting now, three years later when the gunfire in Sarajevo, Europe will be boiled immediately, and if he doesn't take the opportunity to make a fortune, he will wear it for nothing!

He has no access to arms and food, only medicine!Although he didn't know about "high-end" drugs like penicillin and aspirin, but Li Sanshao was well-versed in sulfonamides and probiotics.

Holding the deed paper of the dyeing workshop in his hand, Li Sanshao's eyes glowed with gold.

However, even if he knew how to refine sulfonamide, this business could not be done by himself.Fortunately, his uncle arranged such a marriage for him...

Opening the drawer and looking at the Browning automatic pistol in the drawer, Li Jinyan smiled.

Marshal Lou, who was demonstrating how to cross obstacles in the barracks, suddenly slipped and fell off the equipment.Looking at the young marshal, who was thrown all over the place and fell firmly to the ground, the training ground was completely silent.
