Chapter 106 Parting

"Sir, please." Li Tian quickly got up and politely let the man in. The man sat down in the pavilion, and the servant stood under the steps with fork hands.

The water rolled on the red mud stove, and the green branch ordered a cup of tea for the man, and then made a cup of clear tea and handed it to Li Tian. The man smelled the tea and smiled, "This year's autumn tea?"

"Yes," Li Tian smiled respectfully. The man slowly turned the cup, took a sip of tea, and tasted it carefully with his eyes slightly closed: "The tea is good. It's a little autumnal. The young lady doesn't go to Siliqiao, Yantai and other places to invite friends to enjoy chrysanthemums. How can she come alone to such a bleak place?"

"Isn't autumn the meaning of this bleakness?" Li Tian replied casually, and the man shook his head with a smile: "Spring and autumn, autumn is festive and lively. It seems that you are worried? Why do you have troubles at a young age?

"Don't people have troubles when they are born? Babies have the troubles of babies, and teenagers have the troubles of teenagers. You must also have troubles. There is no time when people live a life. Those who don't have trouble are immortals," Li Tian stopped and added, "It's just a fool who doesn't make sense have troubles."

"Oh?" The man looked at Li Tian with great interest and nodded and said, "That's right. You have your troubles. I have my troubles. Let me guess your troubles. At your age, it's still a little early to discuss marriage. Is that the troubles of housework? Why don't you get along with your brothers and sisters? Did you make the elders angry?

"No," Li Tian shook her head and sighed: "The troubles at home are small troubles, and marriage is a big trouble."

"How old are you that you are worried about getting married? It's still early." The man laughed and said, Li Tian thought for a moment and looked at the man and said, "Where does your husband live? Listen to your accent, are you from the capital?

"Well," the man paused: "My ancestors are not in the capital, but I have lived in the capital for many years."

"At your age, you must be full of children and grandchildren. If you choose a daughter-in-law, what do you look at most? Family background? Dowry? Or is it the daughter-in-law's character?

"This," the man was stunned and then smiled, "Let me think about it, family background and character, character is the most important."

"Alas," Li Tian sighed and spread her hands and said, "I'm an orphan, not only without my parents, but also my grandparents and grandparents. I can only be so familyless without a family background. My character is not bad." When the man heard this, his face was full of smile and he was so straightforward to praise his character. No, you're welcome.

"But personality, in fact, her personality is not bad. Although it's not too virtuous, my troubles are not here. I'm like this," Li Tian looked at the man who looked at her with a smile on his face and couldn't say any more. Her troubles were really unspeakable: "Oh, how to say, I should have it? I shouldn't have it. You Look, I look good, right? I still have a lot of dowry, a lot, so now, the person who wants to marry me doesn't want to marry me, and the person I want to marry won't marry me.

The man couldn't help laughing and laughing for a while before he reluctantly stopped laughing: "This is indeed a big trouble, and no wonder you are worried. So who do you want to marry?"

"The person I want to marry has been married," Li Tian thought of Xu Sijing and couldn't help sighing again.

"What kind of family do you want to marry?" The man looked very interested. Li Tian replied cheerfully, "I have a good family background and a good temper. It would be better if the family was simpler."

"Is that all?"

"Well, these are enough."

The man thought for a moment and said, "There are many people like Beijing, do you still need to worry?"

"At the end of last year, I discussed a family. They felt that I was a poor person. I didn't agree with it. Some time ago, I discussed another family. They didn't like me. They chose one with a family background, parents, and a gentler than me. In addition to these two families, there were several families mentioned in the middle, but they didn't think I didn't. With the help of my family, I just feel that I have nothing to grow up and have a bad life.

"You are still young." The man looked at Li Tian thoughtfully and comforted him. Li Tian was silent for a moment and sighed heavily. She couldn't say a word about the reason why she was anxious to get married.

"Well, what my husband said is that my marriage is uncertain, and there will always be someone to bully me and no one to decide. I have to find ways to calculate my people and my dowry, and I have no choice but to be in a marriage."

The man frowned when he heard Li Tian's words. Li Tian said about his troubles. He didn't want to mention this matter anymore. He looked at the man and changed the topic and said, "Sir, don't you go to the bustling place. Is there a big trouble like me when you come here to see the autumn scenery?"

"Well, when you are old, you will have a lot of worries." The man smiled gently.

"Is there a way to worry, or is there no way to worry?"

"Some have ways, some have no way," the man thought for a moment and replied, "Like the past, such as the hearts of the people, there is no way."

"In the past," Li Tian said a little stunned, "That's not a worry, that's a pain, a pain in the spine."

"At a young age, do you know what pain is?" The man laughed dumbly. Li Tian smiled and didn't answer. Naturally, she knew and couldn't say it.

"Little girl, don't think so much. Don't worry, you are a blessing. There must be a good result in this marriage. Thank you for this cup of tea." As the man spoke, he put down the cup and stood up. Li Tian quickly stood up and sent the man down to the pavilion. After seeing him walk out, she turned back to the pavilion. Yue Niang looked at her and said, "He talked nonsense to you for a long time, and the last sentence was right. You are a blessed person. Your marriage will definitely go well."

"I hope so." Li Tian smiled worriedly and said, several people sat for a while, then went to say goodbye to Lin Wen, who came back from evening class, and got on the bus back to the capital.

The house of the Duke of Yongguo was restless, and the door of the Qingtong Courtyard was closed. Mrs. Yang clearly knew that Li Tian must be the pusher behind her, but she couldn't grasp the handle of Qingtong Courtyard. This incident was more sulking than the previous two times. Finally, she couldn't stand the illness and fell ill. Zhou Da\Grandma and Li Xiaozu discussed it in the middle of the night. Two days, Li Xiaozu waited in front of Mrs. Yang's bed for a day and persuaded her for a day. The next morning, Grandma Zhou came to Qingtongyuan to talk to Li Tian.

Li Tian asked to enter Zhou Da\Grandma. Zhou Da\Grandma looked at the furnishings in the room. It was not natural for a long time. She also drank a cup or two of tea before turning to the topic: "... As you know, the second aunt and third aunt feel that they have separated well, and there are no elders in the family. It's time to separate. Yesterday, you The eldest brother persuaded my mother for a day, and I didn't know... I didn't pay attention to this before, and it's hard to do..."

Zhou Da\Grandma Ai Ai couldn't say anything. Li Tian looked at her and said with a smile, "My aunt is used to living in this house and is reluctant to move out?" Zhou Da\Grandma's face was uncomfortable: "Yes, you know how much effort my mother has spent on this family. She has worked hard for so many years. This means that she moved out is also... Besides, this mansion is the Duke of Yongguo Mansion built by decree. The Duke of Yongguo does not live in the Duke of Yongguo, and the Duke of Yongguo Mansion does not live in Yongguo Mansion. Lord Yongguo, this is not a good thing. Zhou Da\Grandma's password is average.

Li Tian's tone was indifferent: "Yes, for the sake of this brave prince, for this brave duchy, the uncle is admirable. Just for this, for so many years, grandma, I don't care. I have never thought about, let alone mentioned the succession of the four rooms. Don't say that it's the money that the four rooms deserve. I haven't asked once, according to what my grandmother said, but I want to change people's hearts. One day when my grandmother is gone, at least I still have an elder who can rely on," Li Tian paused and picked out a trace of sarcasm: "I think less than my grandmother, and I don't even dare to rely on it, but I'm satisfied by begging her not to calculate like outsiders. But I can't even ask for this, so I have to ask for a brother to come back to rely on.

Grandma Zhou's face was more uncomfortable, and Li Tian didn't look at her, and then said, "Big brother is a loyal man. I don't have anything to say about him as a son." When Grandma Zhou heard this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Li Tian glanced at her: "My sister-in-law is also a person who understands. At least she is not the kind of person who falls into the well. I accept the feelings of my sister-in-law. Today, I can't help but give this love. The second aunt and third aunt are determined to separate. This It's time for the family to be separated. Those who are willing to live in this Yongguo Mansion will live as long as they want.

Grandma Zhou hesitated and said, "After that, a hundred years later, this house?"

"Sister-in-law doesn't have to think so far. Now it can only be like this." Li Tian looked at Grandma Zhou, calm but could not argue. Grandma Zhou lowered her head and thought about it, nodded and said, "Then I'll go back and report it to my mother." Li Tian nodded with a smile and got up to send Grandma Zhou to the hospital.

The four rooms do not compete for the title, and the family does not separate. Although there is a gap between the title and the big house that Mrs. Yang wants, she also knows that the four rooms and three rooms insist on the separation of the family. How long can she last? It's good to be like this.

Picking an auspicious day, the Duke of Yongguo invited the patriarch and several elders. Shundang divided all the household justice except the big house into four parts. The three houses did not want to live in the big house. Several patriarchs asked the long house, two rooms and four houses to make up for 500 taels of silver for the three houses, which was regarded as making up for the loss of giving up for the mansion. As soon as the second master Li Zhongming heard that he could get another 1,500 taels when he moved out, he immediately jumped out and wanted to move out. Several elders were old and asked Li Zhongjing to set up a note on the spot. The long room and the four rooms each took 1,500 taels of silver to the second and third rooms, and the two had nothing to do with the big house.
