Chapter 407: Two Places That Make One Anxious
ia Ren felt conflicted, unwilling to see his mother like this but also disgusted by his uncle. He was caught in the middle, feeling incredibly awkward. He lowered his head and blushed furiously.Li La...Li Laotai hurriedly went into the house to open the box and get a robe for her son.
Li Laer and Li Yong and others said a few words, put the official robe on the carriage, remembering the crying nephew, and said to Li Lao Tai 。"Mother, if there's nothing important at home, why don't you take Fuku-chan to stay in Lo An for a few days" 。Huāng Ge'er is getting engaged and not saying anything about it. Several of the young men are all thinking about getting married themselves. 。When I saw them at noon, Cat Brother was crying his eyes out, and Jia An and Jia Xi were also listless and wilted like frostbitten eggplants. 。" Old Lady Li felt pity and scolded, "You good-for-nothing boy, other families would give their right arm for a chance to study!" 。They are doing well, studying at the doorstep of their home and even saying they miss it. 。"He's grown up, I'm afraid he'll just be a couch potato!" Li Yong and Hui Niang both laughed and said, "Children who have always been at home suddenly leave, of course they can't adapt." 。Your mother-in-law could stay for a few days, we'll take care of things here. 。" Elder Li was unable to, so she said, "Arrange it for the next two days, and we'll go the day after tomorrow." 。You build the yard, I can't help with anything. 。" Auntie, please rest assured. There are so many villagers here who will come to help." 。Soon, Li Lao Er took a car into the city. 。Tonight, he will spend the night with Mr. Wen, and tomorrow they will go to court together. Mr. Wen can also take him to get familiar with... 。Li Lao Tai brought Dongmei and He Mama, along with several others, to help Li Yong and Hui Niang's family move their belongings to the village head's house. Then they began preparing dinner. 。Unfortunately, Li Zhensheng and Jia Huan stayed at the restaurant. Only Tao Hongying came back alone. 。Even with a large table, there were only three people: the elderly couple and their grandson. Even though Lao Tai's heart was strong, she couldn't help but sigh as she struggled to lift her chopsticks upon seeing this. 。The little boys in Los Angeles cried so much they missed home, their families missed them too, and I couldn't even eat without missing them. 。Sometimes, when I think about it, what's good about having grown-up children It's just two places that make me worry and feel anxious. 。" Tao Hongying wasn't feeling well either, but she still smiled and advised her mother-in-law, "Mother, the family has been a bit busy lately, it'll be better in a few days." 。" Li Lao Tai waved her hand, but still couldn't muster the spirit. " 。Jia Yin quickly served her grandmother some meat, saying, “Grandma, eat the meat. We’ll go see your brother the day after tomorrow!” “Good, good!” Old Li smiled and patted her granddaughter's head, “Thankfully, we still have our little Fu Niu around. Otherwise, grandma wouldn't know how to get through these days.” 。"Then Tao Hongying quickly called Dongmei and Grandma He, Shuiyun and Shuiling over to sit down and eat, barely filling the dining table. " 。Grandma He was thinking about Li Laer going to court tomorrow, so she picked out some interesting things that happened in the court, such as a certain old censor who got too excited during an argument years ago and spat his dentures out. 。For example, a certain martial artist had diarrhea and passed gas in the court hall one time. The smell was so bad that the emperor and all the officials had to hastily disperse! Everyone who heard it couldn't believe it, and they laughed until their stomachs hurt too. 。Tao Hongying wiped tears from the corners of her eyes as she smiled and asked, “Didn’t they say that those who lose their composure in court should be beaten with a board Dare anyone do this”Grandma He smiled and said, “Civil and military officials are all human beings, not immortals. They eat grains of various kinds. How can it be guaranteed that they won't make any mistakes” 。Unless it was intentional, the Emperor usually wouldn't mind. 。"What about that second son He doesn't understand any rules. Don't make such jokes tomorrow!" Li Laotai couldn't help but worry about her son again. 。Tao Hongying quickly comforted her, “Mother, there’s still Mr. Wen.” 。I will definitely remind my second brother. Even if he doesn't understand, as long as he follows what I do, he won't make any mistakes. 。Everyone also said, “Yes, Madam, Master is very clever, there’s definitely no problem.” 。In the small courtyard in the south of the city, Li Laoer, Mr. Wen, and Liu Zhiheng were gathered together at this moment, eating and laughing. 。Originally, Li Laer came over intending to go into the palace to attend court with Mr. Wen. However, when Liu's family came to deliver things and went back to say more, Liu Zhiheng also ran over in his official robes to join the fun. 。The three of them ate and chatted, Li Lao Er having heard quite a few things about the court. 。Who is the sworn enemy of whom, who petitions, and who will inevitably oppose it 。Who is related to whom, and who are in-laws to each other They form alliances and work together, presenting a united front to the outside world. 。Most people would find it annoying, but Li La Er was very interested. 。Firstly, it's the novelty. These things are completely different from anything he's ever encountered before. 。Secondly, I also thought that he shouldn't always rely on Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng in the future. He should familiarize himself with the court as soon as possible. 。After a satisfying meal, the three of them went to bed early. 。Early the next day, before dawn broke, Wen Hai woke up the three of them. They washed, got dressed, had a quick bite to eat, and then boarded the car. 。By the time we reached the palace gates, there was only a faint glimmer on the horizon, but carriages from all the noble families had already lined up. 。Some people got off the carriage and chatted idly under the shelter, while others continued to doze off in their carriages. 。Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng's task was to get Li La Er acquainted, so they got off the car early and introduced Li La Er to anyone they knew. 。Li Lao Er has a good memory and is also shrewd and tactful. He also holds a high rank. 。He greeted whoever he met, making a few polite remarks. Even if it didn't bring about feelings of closeness, it wouldn't make people dislike him. 。And now the Li family has a count, a first-rank誥命 (honorific title for women), a princess, and a fiefdom called Suijin Tan. 。... It can be said that they are in a high position and enjoy great honor, but they lack real power and pose no threat to anyone. 。Everyone was just there to watch the spectacle, not wanting to offend anyone or make friends. 。One official, a rank of "Libu Langzhong," stood with two close friends, watching from afar. He whispered, "The Li family is quite something. A group of refugees who just arrived in the south two years ago are already making it into the court" “Indeed,” another man agreed, “The Li family's luck is simply incredible. So many people have been running trade routes to Quanzhou for years, yet overseas seeds were found only by Li Zhensheng." 。“But the last person shook his head. "This isn't just a matter of luck. The Liu family and the Marquis, is it simply because they have good luck that they befriended the Li family The Li family must surely have some secret nobody knows about.” 。Let's not talk about anything else. Just imagine, we get our hands on good seeds and want to secretly plant hundreds of acres, then present them to the Emperor. It would be hard enough to keep it a secret, wouldn't it 。But the Li family managed to do it! That official from the Ministry of Rites couldn't help but nod in agreement, "There's also the Wang family and the Yan family, neither of which are easy to bully. Yet, they all suffered losses at the hands of the Li family." 。"This Li family definitely isn't as simple as it appears!" Another person scoffed, "Simple or not, it has nothing to do with us." 。Just wait patiently. Whether it's a wolf or a sheep, the truth will eventually be revealed. 。Such discussions are happening almost everywhere. 。While Li Lao Er, who was at the center of everyone's gossip and talk, seemed oblivious to all the undercurrents, he still smiled broadly, with a harmless face. 。This half hour was enough for him to familiarize himself with half the court. 。At this time, the palace gate finally opened. 。Mr. Uneven Temperature pointed, and several officials with ample figures, big heads and large ears had already pulled Li Lao Er into the ranks. 。They were all from families with titles, or at least positions of honor. 。Li Lao'er standing with them was also appropriate. 。ountains.The village women, with Xiaocui leading the way, almost always returned home laden with their baskets.To such an extent that every household would be willing to give Xiao Cui a bowl of their...
