Li Daitao

Before others could react, Xu Ji screamed, and rushed up like a little beast, knocking the woman sitting on the stool to the ground.After knocking him down, he refused to give up, pressed up with his hands and feet, scratched, kicked and bit the woman, and cursed vaguely.

Meng Zhang was busy separating the two of them, but he bit his hand, and still turned his head to deal with the woman surnamed Sun.

It wasn't until Qin Shu stepped forward to pull him, that Xu Ji saw the slight displeasure in his eyes, and then obediently let him pull herself away from Mrs. Sun.However, he didn't feel that he was wrong at all, and he stood there without any shame, and still stared at Mrs. Sun unwillingly, with a fierce look, as if he would pounce on him and take another bite at any time.

The woman surnamed Sun suffered this innocent disaster for no reason, and was helped up from the ground by Liang Xiao, still in shock.Tremblingly, he said: "Why is this child acting like this all of a sudden, don't be sick..."

"You're the one who is sick!" Xu Ji was furious, staring at him and about to rush forward again, Qin Shu saw that his expression was not right again, so he quickly grabbed him, but scared his sister-in-law back with a lot of slander.

Qin Shu couldn't figure out why the child was going crazy. Although he was holding him in his hands, he was so angry that he didn't speak, just like a red-eyed calf.

He had no choice but to apologize to his wife with a wry smile, and explained a few words, but deliberately avoided what Sun's wife had just said, with a vague intention of refusing.

The current situation is not a good time to discuss it anyway. Mrs. Sun was very uncomfortable with Xu Ji's almost cannibalistic eyes, and said a few gossips in a hurry, and asked Qin Shu to think about it. Feeling that the fierce light in Xu Ji's eyes had increased a little more, he hurriedly said goodbye in fright, secretly muttering in his heart how this child was born so weird.

As soon as the woman left, Xu Ji heaved a sigh of relief, his expression was no longer that of an enemy, and he made a vicious grimace at the figure of his sister-in-law who was almost fleeing.When he turned his head, he saw Qin Shu was looking at him carefully, his face was sinking, and there was a hint of reproach in his eyes.

Xu Ji lowered his head, and from time to time quietly raised his eyes to look at Qin Shu, his eye circles turned red after a while, and his little nose began to suck and suck, planning to preemptively cry.

Seeing that he was about to pretend to be pitiful again, Qin Shu felt powerless and swallowed all the words that would teach him how to behave and treat others. He didn't bother to look at him any more, and turned around to clean up the mess he had made.

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Xu Ji lowered his head and bit his lip, tears fell to the ground drop by drop.

Liang Xiao was cautious at first and didn't know what to say, but now seeing that he was really crying, he couldn't bear it, so he quietly stepped forward and tugged on his sleeve, comforting him softly.

When Xu Ji got the steps, he cried "wow" and glanced at Qin Shu again, seeing that the man was still tidying up with his head down, and he didn't even look at his man's house.Xu Ji stomped his feet resentfully, and ran outside while crying.

Only then did Qin Shu look at his back, frowned and said, "You can't just let him go back like this, you go see him off."

Meng Zhang sat there in a daze, as if he didn't hear it, Qin Shu turned his head and said, "Liang Xiao, you go see him off."

He stepped forward to pull the bamboo chopsticks that Meng Zhang was holding tightly in his hand. Meng Zhang was startled, and suddenly saw him, and he gently pulled the chopsticks away as if all the strength had been taken off his body.

But Qin Shu's tone was calm: "I don't know how to marry a wife."

Meng Zhang looked up and saw that Qin Shu had already turned around and carried the dishes back to the kitchen to wash.Let Meng Zhang stare at his back in a daze.

After Liang Xiao chased for a while, he saw Xu Ji standing beside the road, looking over here.Seeing that Liang Xiao was the only one chasing him, Tong Wei seemed a little disappointed, turned around and left with a "hum", but walked slowly, waiting for Liang Xiao to follow.

Liang Xiao had already thought back on what happened just now, and now seeing Xu Ji's pissed off face, he couldn't help being angry and funny, stepped forward to hold his hand, and the two walked slowly towards the city along the path go.Liang Xiao smiled lightly and said, "What are you doing?"

Xu Ji shook his hand vigorously, but Liang Xiao held it tightly, unable to shake it off at all.He turned his head to look at Liang Xiao, and seeing him smiling dotingly and helplessly towards him, with a peaceful expression, he felt extremely unbelievable: "If that bad old woman wants to call Uncle Qin a daughter-in-law, why do you have to do it, brother?" Are you not angry?"

"I..." Liang Xiao was taken aback by his upright look, but after he was taken aback, he felt a little funny. "This is a good thing. Why should I be angry? Uncle Qin and Uncle Meng are not young, and it's time to get married."

"You..." Xu Ji never expected that he would be so indifferent. He was so small that he was so angry that he hated iron for steel. He pulled Liang Xiao's hand away, and his fingers almost poked Liang Xiao's nose. Go up: "Don't you know that if Uncle Qin marries a daughter-in-law, that bad woman will become your stepmother! At that time, you will be dragged, oiled, and bottled!"

Liang Xiao choked, and said with a sneer: "How many times have I told you that Uncle Qin is not my father..."

Xu Ji didn't care about this, and continued angrily: "The stepmother is the worst. When she bullies you to death, she will beat you and scold you, make you work all day, and don't give you food or sleep. Lock you in a small room." He racked his brains and thought hard again. "If you have younger brothers and sisters in the future, you will no longer have new clothes and clothes, and you will have no share in any delicious and fun things."

Speaking of this, Xu Ji seemed to have really seen such a day, and couldn't help being a little scared. He shivered, stomped his feet and shook his little head like a rattle: "No, no, no! The stepmother just can't do it!"

Liang Xiao looked at him helplessly, and comforted him softly: "That's not the case, Uncle Qin is actually a very nice person, and he won't allow others to treat me like this." After thinking about it, he couldn't laugh or cry: "Who told you this? ? You are only a little older, what do you know?"

"My father... Anyway, what my father said is absolutely right. I just know it!" Xu Ji resented, looked at Liang Xiao again, and nodded his head heavily.

Liang Xiao also had nothing to say, coaxing him to walk slowly, suddenly remembered something, smiled lightly: "I know which family Auntie Sun is going to tell Uncle Qin about."

"Oh." Xu Ji turned his head, rolled his eyes, and quickly asked, "Which family is it?"

"It's the daughter of shopkeeper Li in the store. I have seen her deliver mung bean soup to Uncle Qin a few times. A few days ago, shopkeeper Li secretly asked me if Uncle Qin was married. His family and Mrs. Sun's family are Relative, shopkeeper Li helped find the yard we live in now."

Liang Xiao didn't see the scheming hidden in his eyes. Regarding the fact that Sun's sister-in-law came to propose marriage, there might be an extra hostess in his familiar home. Since this is something that will happen sooner or later, Zhili quietly conceals the anxiety in his heart.

Now that Xu Ji said this, he felt more and more uneasy, and now he thought of a good reason to comfort himself, so he couldn't help but said it, and smiled softly at Xu Ji: "She is also very good to me. Often take me to the street to buy caramel to eat."

"Fart!" Xu Ji was silently remembering the names of these people in his heart. Hearing this, he was furious and said viciously with his hands on his hips: "A few pieces of caramel can lull you. There are many things in our house that are much better than caramel." Yes! It's not rare!"

Liang Xiao didn't know why he was annoyed again.Xu Ji has always been kind to him, following up with his elder brother, the elder brother, the younger brother, the younger brother, the younger brother, the younger brother, the younger brother, the younger brother, the younger brother, the younger brother, the younger brother, the younger brother, the younger brother, the younger brother, the younger brother, the younger brother, the younger brother, the younger brother, the younger brother, the younger brother, the younger brother, the younger brother, the younger brother, the younger brother, the younger brother, the younger brother, the younger brother, the younger brother, the little mouth, and the sweetness.But I have never seen Xu Ji show such an extremely angry look to him, and he refrained from saying something in his heart, and for a moment he was a little bit at a loss, standing there dumbfounded.

Xu Ji felt sullen for a while, and his expression softened again. He stretched out his hand to pull him, and called him brother.He had to wait for Liang Xiao to agree before continuing, "Anyway, if there are more people coming, you have to drive them out like I did."

Liang Xiao was stunned, remembering his sloppy appearance, how could he do such a thing, he hesitated a few words, but fortunately Xu Ji was in a hurry to go home, so he didn't bother him much, and didn't want him to send him off again.

Liang Xiao was worried, and still watched him enter the city gate before turning back.

Waiting for him to come together, there will naturally be a carriage in the city to pick up Xu Ji.

Xu Ji hurried the carriage all the way back to the manor, and asked where his servant Yi Zhen was. He couldn't wait for others to hug him, so he turned his feet and went straight to the study. Before he could see the door, he let out a "wow" So he burst into tears, crying and calling: "Your king, it's not good..."

------------

Liang Xiao guessed right, this sister-in-law was indeed entrusted by shopkeeper Li's family to come to the door to make peace.The daughter-in-law of the Li family was considered to be her distant niece, and she was also concerned about this matter, so she returned to the city and went to the Li family to explain today's matter in detail.

As soon as she left, Miss Li's mother listened to the meaning behind the words, thinking that this matter might not be possible, so she thought about testing her daughter's tone, but this daughter was Qin Shu, who had long been in love, and had a personality Stubborn, although he didn't say a word, but looking at the look in his eyebrows, he refused to listen to her mother no matter what.

The old couple only had this daughter-in-law, and they always loved her very much. They couldn't help her for a while, but they heard someone in the courtyard smile and say: "Your parents are half right, it's all for your own good. You can't do it no matter what. Married to that Mr. Qin."

The whole family was startled, and they hurried out to see.Yi Zhen was standing in the courtyard gracefully, and nodded casually towards them, followed by a few guards.

The door was originally latched, and I don't know what tricks this man used to come in without making a sound.Although he came in uninvited, this man was calm and composed, as if he was walking in his own courtyard, not like a burglar.

Shopkeeper Li was taken away by his aura, and for a moment he forgot to shout and question.Being turned into a guest by the visitor, he walked into the lower hall first, and sat down unceremoniously at the upper end.

A few guards followed behind him, half pushing and half blocking the family of three into the hall, then turned around and closed the door.Two of them stood at the door.

Shopkeeper Li's family seemed to be in a dream, and they were terrified at this point, and just about to open their mouths to call for help, Yi Zhen smiled from above and said, "Don't panic, I am an old friend of your Mr. Qin," so he called the three of them. Take it easy.But he didn't understand what he was doing all this time.

Yi Zhen didn't wait for Shopkeeper Li to open his mouth to ask, he waved his hand to stop him first: "Don't worry, old man, I'm here just to say something, I have absolutely no intentions." He waved his hand and said, "Please sit down." A few chairs come over.

This made the Li family not open their mouths, but it did not prevent them from looking at him quietly.Under the light, Yi Zhen was also handsome, and he didn't have the slightest air of pettiness. Although his words and demeanor were a bit rude, it made people feel that it should be so, and made people believe his words.

Yi Zhen knew that the old man was secretly looking at him, so he didn't care. He turned his eyes and landed on the girl in the middle. After looking up and down, he nodded and said, "This is Miss Li Biyao, indeed. fine."

Although there was a faint smile on his face, there was no smile in his eyes, instead, there was a slightly inexplicable annoyance.

Although Li Biyao was not everyone's favorite, she had never been looked at so almost rudely by a man.What's more, for some reason, she always felt that there was a vague loathing and hatred in the eyes of this man looking at her.The girl was extremely sensitive, so she felt that this man had no good intentions, and then remembered what he had said just now that she could not marry Qin Shu, so she became angry, but she didn't care about being afraid, and stared back.

Yi Zhen snorted softly, but ignored him, and said to shopkeeper Li, "Qin Shu was married many years ago, and the child named Liang Xiao who is following him now is actually his son. Son. It's just a temporary separation, and the old man is still there, so naturally he can't marry your daughter."

Although Liang Xiao and Qin Shu are very similar in appearance, but the child followed Meng Zhang first, even if the resemblance, it is only a coincidence. Now that the shopkeeper Li and his wife looked at each other, the little girl was very nervous. Wan couldn't accept it, and said sharply: "You are talking nonsense!"

She was standing up, but when someone pressed her shoulder, her whole body went numb, and she sat down again, but she didn't even have the strength to speak.

Yi Zhen didn't bother to look at him, and continued to the shopkeeper Li with a surprised face: "He refused to say, or he had his reasons, not to deceive, the old man is also a person who has experienced the world, and he should know that there are always some things that are wrong. There is no need to ask about the difficulties of telling others."

Seeing this momentum, shopkeeper Li could say nothing more, only what he said, and he responded, and didn't mention anything else, just listened to him.

"Although Mr. Qin is not a good son-in-law, he has an excellent candidate right now. The other man named Meng is barely passable." He ignored any thoughts of the family and lightly clapped his hands. The square box was presented in front of him, and when the lid was lifted off, the room was immediately filled with light, and the light in the hall became brighter for a moment. "If the two families can achieve this marriage, I will prepare a small gift here first."

Shopkeeper Li's eyes narrowed slightly, it was a box full of East China Sea pearls, each one the size of a thumb.Shopkeeper Li has worked in the jade business for many years, and he has seen many jewels inlaid by customers, some of which are bigger and better than this one, but what is rare is that the grains are of the same size and uniform, and there are so many of them.

Yi Zhen saw that he was moved, and smiled again: "I came here in a hurry today, and I didn't prepare well. When I am happy in the future, I will have a thousand taels of gold as a dowry for Ling Ai. The Meng and I are old acquaintances, This bit of Xijin is really nothing, so don’t worry about it.”

Shopkeeper Li was speechless. He was willing to marry his daughter to Qin Shu because he looked at this man's prudent workmanship, no bad habits, and a considerable monthly income. He must be a good source of food and clothing in the future.Now being dazzled by the box full of jewels, coupled with the fact that there are thousands of taels of gold left, and unexpectedly Yi Zhen spoke of Meng Zhang in a slightly disgusted tone, the image of Meng Zhang in his mind suddenly became brighter. Quite a lot, and my heart is already very willing.

At this moment, the girl finally gathered up some strength, seeing that her parents were about to nod immediately, without caring about anything else, she struggled and said: "I don't want to!"

She looked at Yi Zhen with a hint of fear in her eyes, it seemed that that one attack just now really made her suffer a bit.But she still looked at Yi Zhen very stubbornly: "I like Qin Shu, but I don't like Meng Zhang..." She trembled in Yi Zhen's instantly icy eyes, but she still shook her head stubbornly, and repeated: "I don't want to Marry Meng Zhang!"

Her parents were already in a hurry, they didn't care about the presence of outsiders, and began to teach this girl that she didn't know what to do.Li Biyao listened silently, but courageously looked at Yi Zhen.

But when Yi Zhen's eyes focused for a moment, she felt that the person in front of her was clearly irritated by her, and she couldn't help trembling, almost losing the courage to argue with reason, let alone blame Yi Zhen for meddling.

Although Yi Zhen felt that the little girl had some integrity, he would not let it go because of her integrity, and lowered his eyes and did not look at him again, and said with a low smile, "It seems that this gift is not heavy enough to be seen by others. No more, let me give you another gift, let’s see if you like it more..."

Hearing the words, shopkeeper Li and the old couple couldn't help stretching their necks, wanting to see what else he could bring out that was more valuable than the box of pearls just now.Unexpectedly, as soon as his head poked out, there was a chill on the back of his neck, and from the corner of his eye, he saw a steel knife with a cold light on his neck.

The two of them were so frightened that they screamed immediately, and only half of the sound came out. They felt the back of their necks tighten, but the man holding the knife put in a little more force to suppress it, so they had to swallow the remaining half of the sound, turning it into a throat. It's not strange.

Li Biyao was also pointed at by a sharp sword, she couldn't help being terrified, and said in a trembling voice: "You, do you still have the king's law?"

Before the words were finished, I felt that the tip of the knife was a little tighter, pressing the flesh out of a small hollow.And Yi Zhen looked at him expressionlessly, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his lips, and told her plainly that he could do this.

"Swords have no eyes, if someone is accidentally hurt, no one can tell, it's better not to get excited." Yi Zhen was indifferent, only smiling a bit meanly. "My temper has improved a lot in the past few years. If it were the same as before, you would not have the opportunity to stand here and talk to me again. But there are some bottom lines that no one can overstep. Even now, you still Do you want to tell me whether you are willing or not? My patience is limited and I can't wait too long."

Li Biyao froze for a moment, lowered her head, but couldn't help but shed tears.Seeing this situation, Yi Zhen knew that she had given in.He looked at Li Biyao nonchalantly, waved his hands and said, "Come here, I have a few words to say to you alone, otherwise, the surnamed Meng might not be willing to marry you. Don't worry, follow him." , will never be worse than Qin Shu, and it may not be a hard life."

Li Biyao was pressed forward and was forced to bend down, listening to Yi Zhen whispering a few words in her ear, the girl's face was white at first, and then flushed, she couldn't believe herself ears.

What she heard was probably the most obscene and shameless words that she had never known in her life, but the person who said these words did not show any shame, as if what he explained was just a natural and common thing like eating and drinking water.Without changing his face, he threw a small medicine bottle in front of her.

"Remember, I only give you ten days. You can either go on the road together with your whole family, or do what I say. You don't have a second chance." He turned his head and didn't look at how she faced it. The shopkeeper and his wife smiled slightly, and they got up and walked out, saying, "... Shopkeeper Li, you can take a leave of absence for a few days and concentrate on preparing your daughter's wedding at home."

Shopkeeper Li and his wife were in a state of shock, and they didn't hear what he said. They only felt that someone behind him moved the sword away, and walked out behind Yi Zhen. If it wasn't for the box of pearls still on the table, they would have been suspicious of A nightmare.

The two were staring at each other when someone came in from outside the door.Fortunately, it was not the villainous guest just now, but the guards beside him. These two people spoke politely: "Although these pearls are nothing in the eyes of the master, if they are placed here with the second elder, I am afraid that some villains will think about them. These ten people The two of us were ordered here to take care of the food and living of the two elders, and if the two of you have any requirements, just tell them." The name is called care, but the meaning of holding hostage is self-evident.

When Yi Zhen left the courtyard, a carriage came to pick him up in the dark.

Yi Zhen leaned against the car wall and let out a slow breath. He was in a good mood and lifted the curtain to see the night scene on the street.

The youngest son, Xu Ji, was panting, huddled in a corner of the carriage, pulling the tassels on the couch, muttering in his mouth that he was going to set fire to someone's house.

Yi Zhen leaned aside and listened for a while, grabbed his two little arms, hugged him to sit on his lap, and patted his butt lightly.Pretend to reprimand: "Human life is at stake, how can you set fire to such nonsense!"

Although Xu Ji was spoiled and domineering, his nature was not too bad. He spoke fiercely, but he didn't dare to kill people seriously.Immediately frustrated, she thought for a while and said, "Then we should also hit the door and break her leg. In the end, I wanted to be a stepmother to bully my brother, but there was no door. Hmph."

Yi Zhen grabbed Xu Ji's small fist dangling in front of him, kissed him, and said with a slight sneer, "She can't do it."

"Why?" Xu Ji was puzzled. "Father, you refused to take me with you, what did you do?"

It was naturally inconvenient for Yi Zhen to tell him what he had done, so he casually said, "You are a child, you don't understand."

These words aroused Xu Ji's curiosity, so he kept asking him.
