Chapter 15 Aipathy
Since Ling Erniang and his wife left, the days of the Ling family have changed subtly, and the harmony and warmth are a little unreal. Li Xunzhuo got up early every day. After having breakfast with Ling, he went out for a walk, fished, listened to music, and lived a leisurely rich life. You don't have to worry about eating and drinking three meals a day, you don't have to think about business, and you don't have to recite poems in your spare time.
The first time he met Li Xunzhuo and a serious nerd with Simo, Shaohua was surprised and couldn't speak. In her eyes, although Li Xunzhuo has a good temper with these children, Li Xunzhuo's attitude towards Simo has always been more majestic than close. Even compared with Jinhua, the wife of a concubine, Si Mo, received less attention, so he studied hard and hoped to get more praise from his father.
"At least my father came from a humble background, but he didn't take books for many years. Are you like this?" Wanhua is very satisfied with the current atmosphere. He is filial to his parents and younger siblings.
Since he compared his homework with several cousins and found that their knowledge is not inferior to himself, Simo has become more and more serious. Coupled with the rare father's initiative to care about his knowledge, Smo was flattered at the beginning and happily took the initiative to ask Li Xunzhuo for advice later. In the past few days, the relationship between father and son has warmed up faster than in the Li family. They often see one big and one small shaking their heads in the study and dropping book bags from each other.
Ling always brought two cups of tea or two bowls of porridge soup with a smile, put them on the table silently, and quietly went out. Shaohua always laughed at Ling's coming back from the study and laughed the happiest. In the end, Lang Jun of the Ling family was also envious and secretly came to listen to the corner.
The two uncles of the Ling family came from martial arts and knew a few big characters, but when it came to learning, they immediately shook their heads like rattle drums. Therefore, Li Xunzhuo, an uncle who was born as a son, instantly rose to his position below Mr. Ling and above his father in the mind of Ling Jialangjun.
In the whole Ling family, only Jinhua is the most aggrieved.
Every day, Mr. Ling is accompanied by the Ling family. Naturally, this family refers to Li Xunzhuo and the third sister and brother of Shaohua. The first time Jinhua came to the table, and Mr. Ling was not in a good mood for a meal. Naturally, Li Xunzhuo did not dare to insist any more. However, when Jinhua was alone in the room, he was often forgotten to deliver food. As a result, he ran to the kitchen and didn't even have any food left.
Jinhua went to Li Xunzhuo aggrievedly to complain. Ling came out to be a good man and asked her to go back to the dinner table for dinner together. However, looking at the happy atmosphere of the family, Jinhua couldn't get in and couldn't get in and couldn't wait to go back to his room to see it.
Bo Yan said that he had something to go far away from that day, and he had never seen him again. Shaohua couldn't find a companion if he wanted to go shrimp fishing again.
"Mrs. Aunt, the letter from Beijing." Ling's servant came in with a letter, and Cui's mother took the letter and handed it to Ling.
"Who sent it?" Ling was combing her hair. When she saw the envelope, she couldn't help wondering. They didn't talk to anyone when they came out. How could anyone know that they were coming to Pu'an?
"It seems that he is from the Li family, but I don't know that person."
Cui's mother took a little bit of silver to send the family. Shaohua was looking up curiously and watching Ling sweep the letter quickly and folded it up as if nothing had happened.
"Mom, what is written? Is something happened to the Li family?" Shaohua took the envelope and looked curiously. How could he know that it was given to them without a word on the envelope?
"Nothing, put it away and wait for your father to see it by himself." Ling's expression glanced unhappy, and Shaohua suddenly became clear in his heart.
Listening to Ling's tone, the person who wrote the letter will naturally not be the Li family, but the letter from the Li family, in addition to Li Liangxun, there is another possibility, that is the Su family. Ling was unhappy, but her relationship with her husband was like glue recently. She really didn't want to fall out like this, so she was annoyed and awkward, but she still showed the letter to Li Xunzhuo.
Unexpectedly, Li Xunzhuo only glanced at it and left the letter aside.
"It's really nonsense. If you get sick, it depends on the doctor. I'm not a doctor. Why are you writing to me?" He has a deep memory of his brother-in-law's lesson that day. In addition, after his careful thinking in the past few days, Ling did have many merits. He didn't pay much attention for many years, and he felt a little guilty, so he also gave in to her.
"Sir, Aunt Su has always been weak. Maybe some old disease has recurred. Do you want to..." Ling was happy when she saw her husband's attitude, but she couldn't help but be polite.
"I'm not a magic elixir. It will work if I take it. Besides, this letter is for you! I said that no one was allowed to visit her, but I didn't worry about my words!" When Li Xunzhuo thought of his words as a wind in his ears, he was furious and slapped the table and shouted.
Ling hurriedly relieved and signaled him that this was the Ling family. Don't let it reach Mr. Ling's ears and think they were unhappy.
Li Xunzhuo calmed down. Ling suppressed her smile and deliberately sighed, "This can't be blamed. The master wants to hold her in the palm of his hand. You are angry now, so you shut her down. I don't know when to lift her up again. If the servants offend, they won't be scolded to death in the future. Ling said while looking at the change of expression on Li Xunzhuo's face.
"Nonsense, who gave her so much power." Li Xunzhuo was angry and looked at Ling's eyes. Suddenly, he thought that the person who started to be the terracotta warrior was himself. He coughed awkwardly, turned around, and said slowly, "I mean, you can take care of her in the future. I know that I used to spoil her. From now on, everything in the yard is up to you."
"Real?" Ling's voice rose with excitement.
"When did I tell a lie?" Li Xunzhuo was dissatisfied with her fuss.
"Thank you very much, sir." Ling did not quarrel with him again and saluted Li Xunzhuo with a smile.
This made Li Xunzhuo blush. He didn't expect Ling to be so happy and said unnaturally, "Thank you. If I go far away, you will have to support this family. If you can't control it, what kind of family is it?" Sure enough, his father-in-law is right. If he is not there, Ling is his most secure and powerful backing. Only when Ling is stable can he have no worries. Why did he never think about it? Instead, he often quarreled with Ling. Now it's always a little unnatural to make up for it. In particular, his wife's repeated flattling made him feel more guilty.
"Do you really want to go to Liangcheng?" Ling was overjoyed and was still surprised.
"My father-in-law is right. I can't hide beside my father and brother all the time. Eggs can't be put in the same basket." Li Xunzhuo sighed, got up and put his hands behind his back. His eyes fell on the boundless sky outside the window, and the blueprint in his heart also unfolded.
"When will you leave?" Ling took a smile and hesitated.
"This is not decided for the time being. Let's go back to Beijing and have a look." Li Xunzhuo shook his head.
Ling's decision is absolutely supportive of Li Xunzhuo, but it is inevitable that there will be concerns.
However, Jinhua somehow knew about Su's letter, and she also knew that Li Xunzhuo was indifferent to it.
Early the next day, he hurriedly came to find Li Xunzhuo and asked: "Dad!"
As soon as Ling Shi came out of the inner room and saw Jinhua rampaging without rules, he immediately flattened his face. There are no rules. Don't you understand when you see someone?
Jinhua looked at Li Xunzhuo coming out behind Ling and gave her a faint look. He was very wronged and obediently said good to Ling and Li Xunzhuo. Mother, good luck, father, good luck." At this time, the Shaohua sisters also arrived at the same time, and Ling immediately changed her smiling face and hurriedly greeted her two daughters in. He booed and asked them warmly, which made Jinhua very jealous.
Li Xunzhuo suddenly said nothing when he saw Jinhua and asked, "What's the matter?"
Jinhua said eagerly, "Dad, I heard that my aunt is sick. Dad, I want to go back to take care of her."
Unexpectedly, Li Xunzhuo immediately sank his face, "Where did you hear about it?"
Jinhua hadn't noticed the change in Li Xunzhuo's face and begged, "Dad, where did I hear that it doesn't matter? I beg my father to let me go back. As you know, my aunt has always been weak, and she must have been too sad recently. I don't ask you to go back to see my aunt, but only ask you to let me go back so that I can do my daughter's filial piety. If it were usual, Li Xunzhuo would definitely be touched by Jinhua's filial piety, because Li Xunzhuo himself is also the most filial piety, and Jinhua can always hit his weakness.
It's just that she didn't expect that she made a big taboo as soon as she opened her mouth.
Hearing Jinhua's sentences, Ling set a trap for Li Xunzhuo and immediately crossed his waist and shouted angrily: "Okay, you are fangs. Can no one in the Li family take care of Aunt Su except you? Before leaving, I specially ordered Aunt Xiang to take more care of her, as well as the maids in the yard full of Xiyuan. Do I have to send you a wife?
"Mom, that's not what I mean. I just want my aunt." Jinhua said pitifully, but looked at Li Xunzhuo. Seeing that he did not move, Jinhua bit his lip, shed tears in his eyes, and immediately knelt down. Dad, I beg you, let me go back to see my aunt first. She must be very sick, otherwise she won't tell Dad.
"Qi Niang, get up and talk." Li Xunzhuo was shocked by her behavior.
Shaohua stood aside and watched Jinhua skillfully wipe his handkerchief and wipe his eyes. Then he raised a pair of watery tears and couldn't help sneer and said, "Qi Niang, don't cry. A Niang has written back yesterday and sent someone to ask Aunt Su to be a doctor. If Aunt Su is kind-hearted, God will bless her safe."
Wanhua couldn't see it, and then choked, "That's right, tomorrow, your uncle will invite the opera team to come home to sing. Are you doing this to brush off your uncle's kindness?"
As soon as the two eldest sisters heard their voices, Jinhua blushed with tears and looked at them with an aggrieved expression: "Third sister, what does fifth sister mean? Is my aunt sick, can't I worry about her?" After saying that, he immediately cried like Xizi holding his heart.
"You are obviously looking for trouble." Wanhua, like Ling, is the most annoying thing about crying like this.
Li Xunzhuo was also upset by Jinhua's crying. He slapped on the table, which shocked everyone in the room. Suddenly, all the voices calmed down and stared at Li Xunzhuo. He glanced at the three girls and said coldly, "Okay, don't quarrel with your sisters. If you want to quarrel like this, go back to the house. It's just a minor illness. As for crying like this, others think what's going on. That's the end of this matter. Don't mention it again. If you mention it again, go back by yourself.
Except for Jinhua, everyone can't help having fun in their hearts.
