Chapter 436 The frightened bird
Sure enough, after giving these instructions, as soon as he entered the study, he saw his master huddled on the bed, wrapped in a quilt, cursing, "Bring me the quilt, you are going to freeze me to death! Also, hurry up and start the meal, I'm hungry, I want to eat!" "
Chang Sui sighed in his heart. Mr. Wang, who used to be so high-spirited and extremely proud, was completely ruined.
After being released from prison, things like this often happen.
In fact, the master was not hungry or cold at all. He was just frightened. He was afraid that he would be thrown into prison again, without food or water, and would suffer and freeze!
For a time, because the master got angry, the whole yard was very busy. It was not until the second watch that the drunk master went to bed and everyone finally calmed down.
A rough servant who was sweeping the yard quietly slipped to the back door and handed the gatekeeper a handful of copper coins.
The doorkeeper skillfully opened the back door and asked in a low voice, "Guizi, is your mother still ill?"
The boy smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I still have a bad cough. I'm worried about it, otherwise I wouldn't be able to run back and check on her. My sister is still young, and I'm afraid she won't be able to take care of my mother."
“Okay, go early and come back early. Make sure you come back before I change my shift tomorrow morning. Don’t let me get scolded!”
“Don’t worry, auntie, I’ll bring you meat buns tomorrow morning!” The boy slipped out of the back door and disappeared into the night…
On the second day, at three o'clock in the morning, cyclamen slowly began to accept guests. Li Zhensheng also waited for the news he wanted, and he couldn't help but laugh.
Li Laoer came from the front with Jiayin in his arms. Seeing his eldest brother smiling strangely, he asked, "Brother, is something wrong?"
Li Zhensheng took his niece and led his younger brother into the room where he usually rested.
Today is the day when Tao Hongying comes to Xiankelai to cook the second table of private dishes. The old lady is worried, so she leaves the house and brings her granddaughter to help her daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Li was sitting at the door of the kitchen picking vegetables. When she saw her two sons carrying her granddaughter into the house, she told her, "Don't give Fu Niu'er snacks. She just ate a lot and she will have to eat soon. Be careful." Feed too much to accumulate food!”
"I know, Mom." Li Zhensheng responded, but when he entered the room, he opened a snack box for his little niece, "Pick what you like to eat, but don't eat too much. The uncle and the second uncle need to discuss the matter."
"Okay, thank you, uncle." Jiayin sat on the sofa, picked out a piece of water chestnut cake, and ate it in small bites. She picked up the crumbs that fell off with her two fat fingers and put them in her mouth.
The cute little appearance of my niece made Li Zhensheng and Li Laoer both laugh.
Li Zhensheng poured the tea, explained the situation of Third Master Wang, and finally said with a smile: "Originally, I guessed that something was wrong with him. With his proud temper, he would never use the second housekeeper to come forward for such a matter, because even if he did When he was caught doing bad things, there was nothing he could do about it if others hindered the Wang family.
"But this time, he was obviously timid. He changed from a proud rooster to a rat in the gutter. So, I asked someone to inquire about it. As expected, he was frightened by what happened last time."
Li Laoer squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then asked: "Brother, do you want to start from here and take revenge?"
"Of course, when he has bad intentions, he should be prepared for this! If he plots against me after we have known each other for many years, I may give him three points. But now that he wants to plot against you, against Broken Gold Beach, just We must not let him go easily!" Li Zhensheng sneered.
His eyes flashed fiercely, and he turned to give instructions to his younger brother. "You are now an earl, and you have to go to court. It is also the face of our Li family. You don't need to intervene in such matters. I will arrange it, but you must be clear about it from beginning to end.
"After all, our family's life will get better and better in the future, and more people like Mr. Wang will appear. Our Li family may not take the initiative to provoke others, but whoever dares to covet you must have the ability to chop off their hands and feet. Do you understand? ? ” ˆ ˆ “Understood!” Li Laoer nodded quickly, knowing that his elder brother was teaching him carefully.
"Okay, let's talk about how to deal with Mr. Wang! Since he's scared out of his wits, maybe we can kill him this time and let him learn a lesson!" Li Zhensheng took a sip of tea, "I will contact Huo Ming in the evening. Send the servants to Wang’s house to play drums when they have nothing to do!”
“Brother is going to torture him slowly and scare him?” Li Laoer asked, vaguely understanding his plan.
"Yes, now we are in the dark and the Wang family is in the open." Li Zhensheng smiled and played with the tea cup in his hand, "So let's not be in a hurry and take our time. Some small things that don't look like much can be dealt with in a frightened person." In the eyes of people, everything is in danger, and Mr. Wang is now..."
“Frightened bird!” Jiayin, who was halfway through the snacks, was fascinated by the news and couldn’t help but interjected, causing Li Zhensheng and Li Laoer to look over in surprise.
Li Zhensheng hugged his niece and said with a smile: "Oh, my Fu Niu is so smart, she is just a frightened bird! Let's not fight or kill him, let him scare himself to death!"
Jiayin smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth, and her eyes were filled with bright little stars. She nodded vigorously, "Well, well, uncle is the best!"
After listening to it for a long time, her admiration for her uncle was as strong as the water of the Yellow River!
To this end, she specially offered her remaining half of the snack.
Li Zhensheng didn't mind it either. He ate the snack in one bite and looked at his younger brother with a smile, "I was worried before that the children at home would be taught to be too kind and honest, but now I'm not afraid anymore! Fu Niu'er is so smart, one is as good as ten! "
Li Laoer was also ashamed. He wanted his eldest brother to break the matter into pieces and explain it clearly.
The little niece was nibbling snacks and listening to the excitement, and she understood everything. He was really worse than a child!
Li Laoer rubbed his niece's hair and said with a smile: "So, if I support it for another ten years, when Fu Niu'er grows up, I will be relaxed!"
“You’re worthless!” Li Zhensheng glared at his younger brother, “As an uncle, you don’t know how to protect your children. Instead, you expect your children to protect you.”
That's what he said, but he still felt sorry for his younger brother, and sighed: "Eldest brother also knows that our family is from a farmer's family. What you have learned and seen since childhood is incomparable to those children of aristocratic families. I want you to It is really difficult for you to hold up the lintel of your home.
"But we have to look forward. Our family is getting better and better. The children haven't grown up yet, so we four brothers will have to work harder! You should be a good official, talk less and watch more, and do whatever it takes to bring glory to the family. , you go up to it.
"I will handle matters like this for the Wang family. The third brother is diligent and can take care of their family. The fourth brother must follow the Marquis to fight on the battlefield. We brothers work together, it doesn't take much. We have three to five years, at least. No one in Xindu will dare to bully our Li family anymore!"
“Brother…” Li Laoer felt his nose was sore and his heart was filled with panic.
He knew that the eldest brother planned to take over all the bad things in the family. Even if something happened in the future and the Li family couldn't solve it, then he would abandon his eldest son. The Li family would still be a good family known to the entire Tianwu family!
In other words, just like a gecko cutting off its tail to survive, the eldest brother is willing to be the tail that can be discarded at any time to protect the safety of the family...
