Chapter 129 Blessings
Li Xiaoyao looked at the two and then said, "Also, this is my negligence. You two also have a month's money. From next month, one person will first two taels of silver a month, and the fifth brother and Cheng Wang are also two taels a month. Forget it. He became a soldier and has a salary. From now on the fifth day of the first month, you two will come to look for it. Wisteria took the silver, and the fifth brother and Cheng Wang hung it on the account first. It's only the same," Li Xiaoyao paused, stopped smiling, looked at the two and said seriously, "You two also need to make progress. You should read more books, practice writing, and don't fall behind. Usually, listen more and read more and use your brains. If you can bear the more important job in the future, this month's money will It's not two or five taels, but don't look at two taels of silver in this month and everything is enough!"
"Yes!" Zhang Gouzi and Zhao Liushun agreed loudly, and their voices were so loud that they shocked Li Xiaoyao.
The next day, as soon as the gate opened, Zhang Gouzi ran out and went to Huwei Camp to send a message to Jiang Shun, and then asked Li Zongliang and Mr. Fan to come back.
In the afternoon, Li Zongliang and Mr. Fan hurried back to Liushu Hutong. Before Li Xiaoyao came back, Mrs. Fan quickly picked up the two and asked someone to send hot tea. Li Zongliang cleaned his face and handed Mr. Fan a cup of tea first. He picked up a cup of tea and took two sips. He looked at Mrs. Fan standing next to him and asked. He said, "Xiao is in such a hurry for me and my husband to come back. What's wrong?" Mrs. Fan's face was pale and she whispered, "It's okay."
Li Zongliang looked at Mrs. Fan doubtfully. If nothing happened, Xiaoyao would not be in such a hurry to call them back. Mrs. Fan looked at Mr. Fan as if asking for help. Mr. Fan frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Li Zongliang gently and said, "You go back and have a rest first. Let's wait until Xiaoya comes back." Li Zongliang quickly put down the cup and stood up and said with a smile, "Well, I'll go back first. Xiaoyao will come back and ask someone to call me." Madam Fan lowered her head and bent her knees to agree.
Mr. Fan watched Li Zongliang go out of the flower hall door, slowly drank the tea in the cup, motioned Mrs. Fan to sit down, and said gently, "Tell me, what's wrong?" Mrs. Fan bit her lip, held the veil, and whispered vaguely, "It's okay."
"Alas!" Mr. Fan sighed longly, "Listen, first, Xiaoyao said something, and this matter must not be small. Second, Xiaoyao only called me and Zongliang back, which must have something to do with you. Third, Zongliang and I came back and saw you not see Xiaoyao. This is Xiaoyao asking you to tell me and Zongliang about it. Do you understand?" Mrs. Fan suddenly looked up at her father, her lips trembled for a long time, and said aggrievedly, "You all have so many one, two or three. What should I do?"
Mr. Fan's fingers trembled and looked at Mrs. Fan's silence. Mrs. Fan wiped her tears with a veil and choked and said what happened yesterday: "••••• I just asked her that. Isn't she 18 years old after the Spring Festival? Isn't it for her good that I asked her? What's wrong? She just loses her temper like that!" Mr. Fan's face gradually became gloomy. He stared at Mrs. Fan and asked, "Don't argue with me!" You cover your heart and ask yourself, didn't you say this for Yueting?
Mrs. Fan bit her lips and said nothing. Mr. Fan raised his hand and nodded Mrs. Fan and sighed heavily: "I told you that Xiaoyao is not an ordinary woman. You can't treat her as a woman. You can't treat her as an ordinary person! She won't bicker and play such care with you. If she takes action, it will be life and death! What did I tell you? You don't need to understand what she said, and you don't understand, and you don't understand!" Mr. Fan's voice went all the way up. Mrs. Mrs. Fan cowered and squeezed into the chair. She was so scared that she didn't dare to say anything. Mr. Fan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and then continued: "Xiaoyao has high expectations of you. I have told you more than once. This is extremely difficult to say and easy to say, but it is Can't you learn from Sister Zhang? You can listen to what Xiaoyao says. You can do whatever she asks you to do. If there is something difficult, you can find her. No matter what kind of difficult it is, you can find her. What's so difficult?
Madam Fan looked up at her father, as if she wanted to say something but did not dare to say it. Mr. Fan waved his hand and motioned her. Madam Fan said in a low voice: "After all, she is also a girl. I am bigger than her, and I have to take care of it. In case I am wrong, You and uncle, let's talk about it..." Mr. Fan stared at his daughter and said coldly, "Don't you hear what I said? I've told you so many times, but you didn't hear a word?"
"No, she always has to get married. In the future..." Mrs. Fan was stared at by her father and hurriedly explained. Mr. Fan smiled: "She is still her when she is married. Even if she dies, it will be more useful for you to worship her grave than yourself!" Mrs. Fan held the veil without saying a word. Mr. Fan looked at his daughter with his head down and suddenly felt weak. When she was born, he was in office. When he came back, he had a son. He was completely focused on his son. Daughter, he ignored her and had no expectation of her. He got married. What else can you do to teach your husband and children? He didn't even think about what kind of person she would marry. With her mother, he didn't have to care, but now, his wife and children are gone. Only he and this daughter, his daughter, are such a daughter!
The flower hall was so quiet that he only heard the sound of dripping, and the pain spread out of Mr. Fan's heart. Mr. Fan turned his head and looked at the drip for a long time before he said feebly, "It's all my fault. I haven't taught you since I was a child and let you grow into such a confused person." Mrs. Fan bit her lips, and her fingers trembled so much that she could hardly hold the handkerchief. Mr. Fan stood up, hunched his back, and walked out slowly.
After the rockery not far from the flower hall, Li Zongliang stopped in the shadow and watched Mr. Fan's gait pass by. His eyebrows were locked in a place. He stood for a long time and turned into the flower hall.
Mrs Fan was lying on the kang, covering her mouth and crying in pain, but did not dare to make a sound. Li Zongliang quietly stood behind Mrs. Fan and looked at it with pain for a moment. He turned to Aunt Fan and half squatted in front of her and gently persuaded her, "Don't cry. If you cry too much, please tell me if you have any grievances." Madam Fan cried so that she couldn't raise her head for a moment. After a long time, she covered her face with a veil and barely sat up. Li Zongliang got up and poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to her. Madam Fan sobbed and took it. She looked down at the tea and fell into the cup like beads. Li Zongliang silently took the cup and put it aside. He changed a clean cup and poured her a cup of tea. Mrs. Fan took the cup and held it in her hand, lowered her head, sobbed and said what happened yesterday, mixed with what Mr. Fan had just said intermittently, and in the middle was mixed with many trivial things from his parents. Li Zongliang listened attentively, gradually straightened out the context, pulled a chair and sat opposite Aunt Fan, and looked gently. She said softly, "Don't think too much. It's not your fault. Sir and Xiaoyao are all rare smart people. Don't talk about you. I don't understand what they said. If you don't understand, it doesn't understand. It's nothing. Don't force yourself. Let's not ask for those rich and nobles. When my father used to say that the family is ordinary. An'an is a blessing."
Mrs. Fan sobbed a few times, and her heart gradually calmed down. She lowered her head and listened to Li Zongliang's words. Li Zongliang looked at her pitifully and then said, "You followed me and didn't plan to ask for any wealth. I married you, and I didn't want you to be so smart and capable. That's it. I think it's good." Madam Fan's tears kept falling down by what Li Zongliang said. Li Zongliang gently advised her, "Don't cry. Love is deeply responsible. This is what the gentleman often says. If you don't love, who else will you love? There is a gentleman in the Fan family about this woman. Besides, the head of this clan does not have to be in charge of the long house. In addition to me, our Li family also has Erhuai and noble son. Don't make it difficult for yourself. Madam Fan stiffened and looked up at Li Zongliang: "Your eldest brother is like a father, you..."
"I know what you mean," Li Zongliang gently interrupted Mrs. Fan's words: "It's my fault. I didn't tell you anything outside. Our five brothers and sisters escaped from Li's village. On the way to now, the head of the family is Xiaoyao. It's useless for me to worry, but let my sister worry about it. The husband said that Xiaoyao is more intelligent and close to a demon, and persuaded me to work more. That's the reason why. But when I think of Xiaoyao's girl's family, who has worked so hard as an adult, I feel uncomfortable." Li Zongliang looked at Mrs. Fan with a suspicious face and whispered with a wry smile, " Xiaoyao was thoughtful. At the beginning, he was also strict inside and outside on the mountain. If you have time to talk to Sister Zhang about things on the mountain, she knows something," Li Zongliang stopped and then said, "The whole military supplies in Peiping are under the control of the Shui family. From us, they entered the Huwei camp, and the color of knives, guns and horses are the best. The general is very polite to me. I value it. In the past few months, but with half of the credit, he had to report all the way. The second master of the Shui family also made a special trip to the camp to see me several times. These are the kindness of the little one.
Madam Fan was stunned and couldn't react. Li Zongliang said with a gentle smile, "Xiaoyao is very sensible. She has high expectations for you, but she won't make it difficult for you for this. Besides, even for me, she won't be difficult for you. You can relax. Your husband and Xiaoyao are very angry. This patriarch is fine, the patriarch. Well, if we can afford it, we can bear it. If you can't afford it, don't bear it. If you like Xiaoyao, get closer to her. If you don't like it, respect her more.
Mrs. Fan lowered her head and wrapped her fingers back and forth with a veil. For a long time, her voice flew by like a mosquito: "I know, it's not mine." Li Zongliang exhaled gently and said with a smile, "It's all my fault. I didn't care to talk to you when I came back. If I don't say anything, you naturally don't know about the outside. If you have a lot of things, you will have a bad temper. You should take more care of the Fan family, our family, and Bijiashan. She is worried about dozens of things. It's not easy for her. What's the matter? Just look at my face. Mrs. Fan lowered her head. Li Zongliang accompanied her to gossip for a long time before getting up and accompanying her to slowly walk to the corner door and watching her pass through the corner door and back to Fan's house.
