The lights in the main hall of the Li family were on until late at night. Father Li and mother Li were sitting at the top of the main hall, and the three brothers and sisters of the Li family and the elder sister-in-law Li and the second sister-in-law were scattered at the bottom of the hall.
Because Li Erlang has already become an official, although he is not old enough yet, he is already regarded as a mature man by everyone.
So, Li Erlang had a seat next to Brother Li, while Li Sanlang and Xiao Silang could only sit on the temporary stools placed behind Brother Li at this time.
Luzhuer, Kogoro and Korokuro were taken by Qiuxiang to play in the side hall.
Brother Li was the last person in the family to see Li Dalang's letter. After reading the letter, he didn't say anything immediately. He just raised his head to look at Mother Li, who had calmed down.
"Alas, fate plays tricks on people, don't worry about me.
Dalang, tell me, what do you think about this matter?"
After Li's mother asked this, she saw Li The eldest brother paused and swallowed before speaking: "Since Hutou said that he is sure that Guo Tuanlianshi and his family are indeed relatives, and they even came to visit me," Brother Li stopped and looked up at Li After taking a look at the father, he lowered his head and continued: "My half-sister is indeed the girl with the red mole on her eyebrows named Matchmaker that my mother-in-law said. She has also worshiped Aye.
Then we accept this marriage.”
After hearing what Brother Li said, Father Li and Mother Li only nodded and said nothing more.
"Aye, Grandma, let me tell you, we don't need to think too much.
Although there was some relationship back then, as Grandma said, it was all fate.
Our family is now in Chang'an, and my sister's side is at the border. We are thousands of miles apart, so it is inconvenient to say anything.
Besides, nearly thirty years have passed, so I can't talk now. It’s enough to know that people are still alive and doing well.
There’s no need to meet. I think it’s okay to know each other like this.”
< br>
Although Brother Li's words sounded a bit unkind, it seemed as if he didn't want to recognize his half-sister.
But after listening to Brother Li's words, Li Sanniang felt that she quite understood what Brother Li meant.
After all, this is not a year or two, but almost thirty years have passed.
And for Brother Li, it is Father Li and Mother Li that he has seen since he can remember, and it is Father Li and Mother Li who really support him.
Brother Li’s memory of his dear Aye is only a few vague and barely memorable meetings.
Of course, this cannot be said to mean that Brother Li is unfilial.
After all, Li's father and Li's mother have never concealed the fact that Brother Li is not Li's father's son.
Moreover, since Brother Li can remember, Li's father and mother have always asked Brother Li to pay homage to his biological father, Sun Datou, every year when they were paying homage to their deceased relatives.
Although Brother Li lives in the same household as Li’s father, Brother Li’s first name is not Li. Brother Li’s first name is Sun Wu.
It’s just that Brother Li has grown up under Father Li’s knees since he was a child. Unless his name is needed, most people would call him Dalang of the Li family, and Brother Li also He is indeed the eldest son of the Li family.
Father Li has never treated Brother Li lightly because he is not of his blood. Father Li directly treats Brother Li as his own son.
Brother Li and Li Sanniang have a deep understanding of this. After all, when Brother Li and Li Sanniang were young, they really didn’t know that this tall eldest brother was not the same father. The half-brother.
In addition, Brother Li and his half-sister, Matchmaker, have never gotten along at all, and have never even met each other. How can they have any feelings for each other? Therefore, it is quite understandable for Brother Li to say this.
However, as a girl, Li Sanniang has a more delicate mind. She looked towards Mother Li, and sure enough, Mother Li lowered her head, and her mood was obviously much lower than before. .
Sister-in-law Li hit Brother Li, and Brother Li hurriedly said to Mrs. Li: "Auntie, I know you have feelings for Sister A, and you miss her.
But it's been a few days. Qianli, it’s enough to know that she’s doing well.
Don’t worry, Auntie. I’ll go back and burn two sticks of incense for Aye soon and tell him that we know each other as brother and sister. "
Sister-in-law Li hit Brother Li hard twice and scratched Brother Li twice hard with her eyes.
Li Sanniang also glared at Brother Li at this time. Even Brother Li, who was sitting opposite Brother Li, raised his head and looked at Brother Li incredulously.
"How come my brother can't speak so much!"
The expression on Brother Li's face revealed this sentence. Anyway, Li Sanniang understood it.
As a result, Brother Li still doesn't understand why his wife and younger siblings dislike him. He really doesn't think what he said was callous.
Having no choice but to do so, Sister-in-law Li quickly said: "Auntie, Da Lang is a man, and he doesn't think things through well. Don't be angry.
I thought, if the tiger head comes back at the beginning of spring, , let’s listen to what he said.
If it works then, if grandma wants, it would be okay for our family to take the route of the Xing family or Bai Ziyi and go to the border to have a look.
It’s only a few thousand miles away and can be reached in a few months.
Follow the caravan and there will be soldiers accompanying you along the way, so it will be safe. "
After Sister-in-law Li said this, Li Sanniang quickly said: "It's because of the good relationship. I want to go there. If there is a chance, I will follow my mother-in-law and take Luzhuer with me. Go together. "
"Yes, as my sister-in-law said, just follow the caravan when the time comes. If others can go, so can we. ”
After the three people interrupted and said this, Mother Li raised her head, her eyes still red. She first glared at Brother Li, and then turned to look at Father Li. When Father Li nodded, Mother Li said Then I looked at Mrs. Li and the others and asked carefully: "Is it really possible? Can we go?"
"Yes! Why not!
If Auntie has any plans, I will ask later Ask Xing Yu, he still wants to use our family. Isn’t it thanks to the second brother’s face that he can sell them at a low price?
If we go, Xing Yu can definitely make good arrangements for it? !
Don’t worry, Auntie.”
After everyone dispersed and went back to their respective courtyards, Brother Li entered the house where Brother Li and Sister-in-law Li were, carrying a bucket of hot water. When he poured the water into the wooden basin, he had just checked whether Korokuro had peed. Sister-in-law Li, who was wet with her ring, stepped forward and hit Brother Li twice on the upper arm.
Brother Li didn't take it seriously at all, but as he carried the hot water basin to the bed, he said to Sister Li: "Come here, I'll press it for you."
< br>Sister-in-law Li took off her shoes and socks and put her feet in the hot water basin. Brother Li massaged her and asked, "What's wrong?
Where did I make you angry again?"
Sister-in-law Li rolled her eyes and asked him angrily: "Just listen to what you said in the main hall before. As a son of man, can you talk like that?
Fortunately, my mother-in-law has a good temper. If you say this to my mother-in-law, she will hit you with a sledgehammer. "(End of this chapter)
