Chapter 398： Brothers working together can cut through gold!

Chapter 398: Brothers working together can be as powerful as gold!

Academician Cui has been away from Jiangnan for too long. Many people in Xindu have forgotten the Cui family. But after all, it was a family as famous as the Liu family. Finally, some people remembered it and exclaimed: "The daughter of Academician Cui is not Married..."

Perhaps this person remembered that this matter was disgraceful, so he held it back mid-sentence, making everyone feel as if they were being strangled by the neck and would not let go.

It’s really hard to go up or down, it’s really uncomfortable!

Fortunately, instead of being annoyed, Mrs. Cui responded openly and generously: "Yes, I was married to the Marquis of Dingbei before, but we have been divorced for a long time. Now I am just Mrs. Cui."

Mrs. Qian Dingbeihou?

Everyone stared in shock, but they couldn't say anything. The atmosphere became awkward for a while.

Jiayin didn't seem to know this at all. He smiled and took Mrs. Liu's hand and said, "Auntie, I brought some fruit, haven't you seen it yet?"

"Okay, look, let's take a look! The fruit our Fu Niu likes must be big and sweet."

Mrs. Liu quickly asked the maid to step forward and open the two baskets. The maid wanted to open the baskets in Dongmei's hand, but Dongmei got out of the way, and the maid shrewdly retreated.

Mrs. Liu and everyone thought there were fruits in the baskets, but unexpectedly, there was only one basket, but there were two jasper melons and more than 20 golden fruits in the other basket!

At this time of year, winter is about to begin, and the melon vines have all been cut. Where did the jade melons and golden fruits come from? !

Mrs. Li smiled and answered everyone's questions, "These are the last batch of golden fruits and jade melons picked in autumn. This child likes to eat them very much, and his parents are spoiled, so he tried to hide a few in the cellar. .

“Yesterday I opened one and tasted it and it was very good. When I came over today, the boy made a fuss about bringing some, saying he wanted to help my aunt entertain the guests.”

Jiayin said with a smile: "Grandpa Liu likes to eat, and so does uncle Liu."

At the end, she pointed to the strange basket in Dongmei's arms and said, "That is Fu Niu'er's gift to uncle!"

Who could not like such a well-behaved and filial little girl?

Mrs. Liu knelt down and hugged Jiayin, patted her back gently, and smiled like a flower, "Thank you Fu Niu'er for thinking about you, Grandpa Liu and uncle. Auntie, I will send you to the front to give you the gift." Give it to your uncle, okay?"

"Okay!" Jiayin turned around and waved to grandma and the others, "Grandma, mother, aunt, I went to play in the front and will be back soon."

“Go, don’t be naughty.” Mrs. Li told her, and Mrs. Liu asked Aunt Tang to hold Jiayin and take Dongmei to the front yard.

Everyone sat down again, not knowing what to say for a while.

The clever little daughter-in-law picked a safe topic and asked: "Why does the princess call Mrs. Cui, aunt? The princess usually follows Mrs. Cui to educate her?"

This statement is also well-founded.

After all, Mrs. Cui is the only daughter of Cui University, a well-educated family, and has been proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, so she is qualified to initiate the princess.

What’s more, Mrs. Cui came here with the Li family, which shows that they get along well with her on weekdays.

Without thinking, Mrs. Cui said: "No, my uncle's eldest son became my senior brother as his teacher. The princess followed my brother and honored me as senior aunt."

Mrs. Liu quickly took over the conversation and asked, "Auntie, why didn't you see some of the children at home here today?"

Mrs. Li smiled lovingly and replied: "Those naughty boys were all sent to Luo'an Academy to study. Maybe I am getting older and can't bear to see my children suffer, so I spoil them a little."

"But how can children become talented without suffering? Simply send them to academies, where gentlemen will teach them strictly. Even if they don't become talented, they must at least learn to be gentle and polite."

A woman asked: "Oh, is Luo'an Academy accepting students again? I'm also thinking about sending my little boy there."

“Yes, among the colleges near us, only Luo’an is the best.”

Everyone has children at home, and when they talk about reading, the atmosphere in the room gradually becomes lively.

Mrs. Liu asked people to take down the melons and fruits, wash them and cut them into pieces, half for the front and the back.

Everyone liked the sweet fruits and melons, so they switched from reading to eating, drinking, clothing, and jewelry, which made it even more lively. In the front yard, in Mrs. Liu’s study, all the old friends who are about the same age are sitting there.

Drinking tea together, chatting about government affairs and old things is also lively and harmonious.

When Liu Zhiheng brought the two brothers from the Li family in, the old man introduced them personally.

The Li family was born in a small farming family, but within two years they became a new wealthy person in Tianwu. Outsiders just listened to the excitement and thought that the Li family was lucky.

But none of the old men in the room thought so.

Luck has always favored those who are prepared. If the Li family had no real ability, they would never be where they are today.

I will not talk about other things, but let’s talk about the new and improved seeds that have helped the Liu family to reach a higher level. The Li family brought them back from Quanzhou and secretly planted them with the Liu family. They successfully planted them and then reported them to the court and dedicated them to the emperor.

How do ordinary people have such vision and patience? !

The rise of every family has gone through wind, frost, rain, snow, and even swords and guns. We never rely on luck to gain wealth and glory!

Of course, what made them even more emotional and willing to look highly upon the Li brothers was not only the fact that Li Zhensheng faced death and recognized his ancestors, but also the unity and friendship between the Li brothers.

Uncle Li took on the responsibility of supporting the family after his eldest brother disappeared.

After Li Zhensheng returned to his family, he gave up the credit for Po Tian, ​​asked for a royal title for his mother, and asked for a hereditary title for his younger brother.

A family can prosper if it has such good brothers who work together without caring about fame and fortune.

Everyone sat down and drank tea and chatted.

Li Zhensheng had a reputation as a scholar, and later worked as a merchant for more than ten years. Recently, he often visited Quanzhou, and his vision and knowledge were far beyond those of ordinary people.

Li Laoer also read a lot of books and acted shrewdly and tactfully. He fled all the way from the north of the Great Wall to the south of the Yangtze River and became more solid and determined after being beaten by life.

Faced with a group of old men, the two brothers had no stage fright at all, they were gentle and polite, and they talked eloquently, which made the old men even more appreciative.

At this time, Mr. Liu's eldest attendant came in and reported, "Old Master, Princess Kangle is here and said that she has a gift for the eldest man."

Princess Kangle?

The old men didn't react for a while, but Old Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "Oh, it's Fu Niu'er here, please come in."

Having said that, he explained to everyone, "Princess Kangle is the adopted daughter of Marquis Xinting, the princess personally conferred by the emperor, and also the niece of Uncle Li."

Everyone suddenly remembered that Ruijintan was the fiefdom of Princess Kangle!

At this moment, good news has come in.

Maybe the threshold was a bit high, and it was a bit difficult for her to lift her fat legs, so she bent down to hold the threshold and almost climbed over.

The fair and fat little girl was dressed cheerfully and beautifully, and her every move was adorable, making the old men in the room smile.

"Fu Niuer, come here quickly, let grandpa see if you have gained weight again?" Mr. Liu also has a granddaughter, but she is too far away. It is rare to hear from Jiayin that this little girl does not know how to be born, and she is really cute and sensible, so he will treat her as his own. My granddaughter is in pain.

At this moment, he hugged Jiayin, touched her little bud, and introduced her to the old man present.

Listening to the good news with a smile, he saluted and called grandpa one by one, without any stage fright, and his small mouth was still sharp.

Either saying that this grandpa will live a long life because of his long beard, or praising that grandpa with a serious face, he must be a high official.

All the old men were made to smile and were given greeting gifts one after another.
