Xue Cheng, Li Fu.
At present, Li Wangjiang, Li Yuanshu's father, is the real head of the Li family. Of course, there is a reason why Li Wangjiang can become the head of the Li family rather than the third brother of a senior official in the dynasty.
First of all, Li Wangjiang has his own reputation and is a member of the gentry. In the state of Lu, there are gentry who raise people's reputation, do not worship officials, have the privilege of tax reduction and exemption, and so on. This is his advantage.
Li Wangjiang was also the legitimate son of the previous generation's Li family. In addition, after inheriting all the rights of the previous generation's Li family, he not only managed his contacts, but also played a better role than the previous generation, and took good care of the whole family.
In the biography of poetry and books, Li Wangjiang has been the head of the family for nine years. In these nine years, the Li family has produced 20% more famous people, whether children or scholars, than before he became the head of the family.
In business, the Li family also made more money than before.
He is not an official, but his contacts are all over Xue Cheng. There are also Li Wangjiang's classmates and teachers of the same year outside Xue Cheng. There are many officials and they have close contacts with each other. His third brother can become an official at the same level as the magistrate in the imperial court, noble yamen, and there is no lack of Li Wangjiang to use his contacts to boost.
Over the years, Li Wangjiang has gained more and more prestige in the whole Li house, and almost all the people are very satisfied with him.
At the moment, Li Wangjiang is creating in his study. His specialty is calligraphy. For readers, it is something to be proud of and boast about to have a good word. It is the dream of countless people to become a calligrapher.
Don't you see that the fame of some top calligraphers is even bigger than that of many senior officials? Even more sensational than a generation of emperors?
Li Wangjiang loved calligraphy since he was a child, and his handwriting is OK. He can't compare with historical figures such as Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi. Even in contemporary times, many tianyuxing countries can hang his calligraphy cattle, but how to say, Li Wangjiang's calligraphy is more or less famous in the small country of Lu.
Many people are also proud of Li Wangjiang's calligraphy, which is a sharp tool for him to get closer to his teachers in the same year.
Everyone in the Li family knows that once the master starts creating, he must not be disturbed.
However, just when Li Wangjiang worked hard and wanted to write a good word, the housekeeper broke into the study in a panic. When he was interrupted by this, Li Wangjiang shook his hand, a drop of ink suddenly dropped and stained a piece of paper. He was directly angry
Before Li Wangjiang got angry, the housekeeper collapsed and said, "Sir, someone broke into the house."
After this, Xu Jiqian, the owner of the Xu family, came in angrily, "Li Wangjiang, you old man, my son died miserably. Your Li family stopped me from chasing the murderer. So, my son was killed by your Li family?"
"Even if you are an old man of Li Wangjiang, famous for his calligraphy all over the country, you still have many close friends everywhere. Even if you bring a lawsuit to the front of the emperor, I will share life and death with you!"
Xu Jiqian was the biological father of the seven young masters who died miserably.
Xu Jiqian knows that his son is a bastard. It's outrageous, but how to say that he is a legitimate son or a young son. Xu Jiqian is not only deeply loved by himself, but his wife regards his younger son as a sweetheart.
Suddenly the baby disappeared and was assassinated in the street?
Not long ago, I saw the body of my youngest son. Xu Jiqian was almost fainted when he was hit on the spot. He ordered that we must strictly investigate the murderer. Don't hurry to kill the murderer. We should take it back to Xu's house and let him do it himself
As a result, news soon came back from the outside. They led a team to the vicinity of Wang Han's house to search for the murderer and collect clues. Unexpectedly, another group of captains stared at them and didn't let them check.
Well, the other team of captains didn't let them investigate the case or let them frame up innocent people. Naturally, Mr. Jiang and others won't say these words directly, and the black pot and dirty water were poured directly on it.
Xu Jiqian almost blew up when he heard this. He found out that it was the Li family and directly killed Li's house.
With master Xu's angry scolding, Li Wangjiang was forced. After a few breaths, he couldn't help holding Meixu's beard under his forehead and said, "brother Xu misunderstood. How can my Li family lay a hand on brother Xu's son? Let alone stop your house from pursuing the murderer..."
At this point, he found his housekeeper embarrassed.
Li Wangjiang was furious. "What's going on? Say it!"
The housekeeper whispered awkwardly, "Sir, it's the third young master."
Speaking of this, he hurriedly explained to Xu Jiqian, "master Xu, my third young master didn't stop your house from pursuing the murderer. He just sent someone to the vicinity of the Wang's house and watched it, just to prevent some innocent people from being framed by the police."
Xu Jiqian smiled angrily. "The third son of the Li family? Ha ha, that's the successor of the next generation of your Li family. How dare you say I misunderstood?"
Li Yuanshu can become the successor in the future. He is trained by Li Wangjiang as the next generation of family owners. He also has his own abilities. For example, Li Yuanshu is only 29 years old, and he is already a whole family.
Li Yuanshu's master is a second-class senior official in the court and a Shangshu!
Even if Li Yuanshu doesn't become an official, with his relationship with his teacher and his experience over the years, he can't tell when he will become a upstart in politics. That is, Li Yuanshu's second brother, who is currently a county magistrate in other places, may not have a better future than him.
Besides, Li Yuanshu is very famous in the painting world.
They are a father and son. His father is a calligrapher and his son is a painter. Moreover, Li Yuanshu's talent in painting is obviously stronger than Li Wangjiang's calligraphy. He is only 29 years old and has become famous in a state.
Lu is a small country, three big islands are three states, and more than a dozen other small and medium-sized islands are the fourth state. There are only four states in Lu.
On Yunzhou Island, where Xue Cheng is located, and where the state capital is located, some of the governor's ladies will quarrel over Li Yuanshu's masterpiece. This is Li Yuanshu's advantage.
Even if he can't become a great historical figure like Yan Liben and Gu Kaizhi, he will be famous for thousands of years, but as long as he can stir a small country in Lu... He is Li Yuanshu's greatest capital. Relying on his outstanding painting ability, other legitimate sons of the Li family can't pose a threat to Li Yuanshu at all.
With Xu Jiqian's angry smile, Li Wangjiang was also angry, "this villain!"
After scolding, he also said with a quick smile, "don't bother brother Xu. I'll let the villain come and apologize to brother Xu right away. I really don't know about it, but I promise..."
Before he could say what he promised, the housekeeper interrupted with a bitter smile, "Sir, young master sent someone to publicize this matter. Xue Cheng is well known in the city. He said that the Li house came forward just to preserve the last justice for the innocent people. At present, the people in the whole city are feeling the kindness of our family."
Needless to say, Li's house is a famous family in Xuecheng. It has been inherited for hundreds of years. It usually pays great attention to fame. Once the people in the city know it, they are grateful. Do you interrupt suddenly? Don't you mean what you say? It was definitely a major blow to the reputation of the Li family.
This is Li Yuanshu's means. He knows that once his father knows the situation, it is easy to take back all kinds of orders he issued, but after the formation of public opinion, the surging public opinion will make Li Wangjiang shrink back.
Li Wangjiang's expression is wonderful.
There are some things that need not be said too clearly. Doesn't he know that when something big happens, there will be yamen Constable who will do things and extort Xiaomin wantonly? Li Wangjiang knows and Xu Jiqian knows, but everyone doesn't care.
