Chapter 256 Easily
Mr. Ye nodded, thinking that he was worried about being robbed of his niece, so he said, "Don't worry, I won't take Fu Niu away. I just come to visit occasionally. Maybe I will give Fu Niu a title in the future..."
Li Laoer quickly waved his hand, then pulled up a chair, sat next to Young Master Ye, and whispered.
"Mr. Ye, I'm not worried about this. Our family is planning something, and I'm afraid it will have an impact on the young master. I thought I'd like to say a few words in advance, so that the young master can listen."
"What's the matter? Someone is bullying you?" Mr. Ye frowned. Li Laoer shook his head and sighed, "It's about our eldest brother."
After that, he explained the matter carefully, and finally said, "I'm afraid my mother won't be able to bear it. Now she even hides it from the third and fourth children. We don't ask the eldest brother to bring back any money or property. I just want him to be safe, plead guilty and return to his family.
“But the eldest brother is not willing to give in and insists on revenge. The Wang family is here in Xindu, and the family has a big business and deep roots. I am afraid that if the eldest brother fails to take revenge, it will lead to a counterattack from the Wang family, just in case..."
“There is no chance!”
Mr. Ye, with a dark face, interrupted him.
"A murder must be paid with a life, and a debt must be repaid with money. This is an axiom known to everyone in the world. The Wang family robs other people's sons, takes them as sons-in-law, and hurts people with meritorious status. This is a violation of national law! Don't say that the Wang family is just a small aristocratic family. , even the emperor’s relatives must bow their heads and obey the law!”
Li Laoer nodded, "It is said that the Wang family is now very close to other aristocratic families. Mr. Wen has recently been looking for details about the Wang family and wants to force the Wang family to stand aside."
Mr. Ye heard the worry in his tone and comforted him, "Don't worry, if it were other times, I wouldn't have been able to help at the moment, but now I was stabbed and seriously injured, and Dali Temple is tracking down the person behind the scenes, involving the Wang family. , it’s so easy.
"The Wang family has too much time to take care of itself, so naturally it cannot take care of a small branch. In addition, if the Wang family is smart and even participated in what happened that year, they will naturally guess the cause of the disaster, and maybe take the initiative to plead guilty and take care of Wang E, and you will not need it. The family was in trouble at the Yamen."
Li Laoer's eyes lit up when he heard this. They had been planning for a long time and acted cautiously. They didn't expect it to be so simple with Mr. Ye.
Mr. Ye called Dongmei, "Take the second gentleman to see Ye Shan and tell Ye Shan and the three secret guards to cooperate fully and report to me at any time."
"Yes, sir." Dongmei agreed quickly, and Li Laoer stood up, bowed deeply, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Lord Marquis."
"Second brother, you're welcome. We are a family. You risked your life to bring me back, and I helped the eldest brother get home. This is what I should do." Mr. Ye raised his hand to help him, not daring to stretch the wound.
Jiayin sat up at some point and nodded, "Yeah, yeah, we are a family!"
Her chubby face was trembling as she nodded, which made Li Laoer laugh. He stretched out his hand to pinch his niece, and then he went out relaxedly.
Jiayin quickly reached behind his back and took out a cantaloupe and a spoon.
This time she scooped out the melon flesh and put it all into Mr. Ye's mouth, which made Mr. Ye laugh so hard, but he also ate all the cantaloupe. It was extremely sweet!
Three to five days passed by. Doctor Zhang was addicted to catgut, and he did not forget to change Mr. Ye's dressing and make a medicinal soup.
Mr. Ye is in good health and can slowly sit up.
Li Laosi and Liu Biaotou occasionally lifted the chair and put him under the eaves to bask in the sun. When everyone has free time, they will come over and talk together.
Jiayin has almost grown up in the Ye family and is a qualified companion to play, eat and chat with!
It actually allowed Mr. Ye to enjoy the happy days of having his children around his knees!
Seeing that her granddaughter was well-behaved and not making trouble, Mrs. Li felt relieved a little, so she took her free time and hurriedly started pickling autumn vegetables.
Pick cucumbers, eggplants, beans and the like that are about to fall off the shelves in the vegetable garden, wash them and make them into various pickles, which are a good helper with porridge in winter.
Green onions should also be pulled out, the rotten leaves removed, dried in the sun, a few roots put together, the leaves rolled up, placed under the courtyard wall to dry naturally for a few days, and then sent to the warehouse for storage. Wash the mustard greens, cut off the roots, and throw them into a tank of salt water. When you want to eat them, you can take them out and cut them into pieces.
The various beans that are interplanted outside the garden must also be cut back, dried in the sun, and collected.
Hope is sown in spring, and harvest will be abundant in autumn. No matter how tired you are, you will still feel happy.
Seeing that there was nothing going on at home, Li Laoer wondered what was going on in the city.
That day he took Ye Shan to see Mr. Wen, and Mr. Wen arranged everything after that.
He didn't know what was wrong with his eldest brother's pretending to be ill, how his business was going, and he couldn't discuss it with his family, so he went to the city to buy pen and ink on the pretext of asking Mr. Wen for a few words.
Of course, Mrs. Li would not stop her. She took some extra money for her son, packed two pairs of shoes, and told her son, "These shoes are for Mr. Wen. You can buy some snacks and the like. Don't go empty-handed. Come along." Look at Mr. Wen.”
This was exactly what Li Laoer had in mind, so he quickly agreed and entered the city.
It is said that the Wen family was also a famous scholarly family when they were in Kyoto. Now they have moved to Xindu and bought a five-story mansion, not far from the Liu family.
Li Laoer carried his things and arrived in front of Wen's house. When he saw two concierges sitting lazily by the steps, basking in the sun, he stepped forward and smiled.
“Brothers, I’m here to visit Mr. Wen. Please help spread the word.”
As he spoke, he stuffed a handful of copper coins.
The two concierges were polite. They stood up and asked, "Which Mr. Wen are you going to visit? Our Wen family comes from a scholarly family. From the old master to the young master, we are all gentlemen."
Li Laoer was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then said, "The Mr. Wen I'm looking for is the one who serves as the imperial censor in the court."
The two porters looked at each other, sat back, and began to chase people away with cold faces.
“We don’t have Mr. Wen at home, please leave quickly!”
Li Laoer frowned, not understanding what was going on with them. When he was about to talk again, a carriage stopped beside him. Someone opened the window and said, "Mr. Er, why are you here? Get in the car quickly."
Li Laoer turned around and saw that it was Liu Zhiheng. He looked happy and turned around to get in the car.
Liu Zhiheng actually enjoyed himself. There was a small tea table in the carriage with tea and snacks.
He raised his hand to pour tea for Li Laoer and said, "What a coincidence. I was going to pick you up in the village, but Mr. Wen said that the Marquis was recuperating in the village and it was difficult to come in and out, so that's all. I don't want to see you here. Come on, hurry up and take you to see the excitement."
Li Laoer was confused when he heard this, "Don't you live at home, Mr. Wen? I thought that Mr. Wen would take a break today, so I wanted to find him and ask him how it went?"
Liu Zhiheng hesitated for a moment and whispered, "The Wen family's affairs are a bit complicated and I can't explain it for a while. In short, don't come here to find Mr. Wen in the future. Just go to me first, and I will send someone to help you find it." Mr. Wen, it’s easier than coming here.”
Li Laoer frowned. He guessed that this involved some privacy of the Wen family. He didn't want to ask more questions, so he changed the topic.
“What fun should we go to see?”
