Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 290 Li House
It's been a few days since I came to the capital, and Du Xiaoyu went out for a lot of strolls, and finally visited all the places in the city.This place is indeed prosperous, and you can buy everything. Even if she is a person who has traveled through time, she has seen a lot of weird things, which were not available in her era.

When Li Yuanqing came back today, she brought a few gift bags and put them on the table.

"Where are you going to give this gift?" He glanced at it and asked casually.

"Where are you going? Are you really planning not to visit your aunt?" Du Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows. In ancient times, filial piety was valued. Even if you don't want to see your stepmother, you should have the courtesy. Besides, Li Yuan is fresh When an official takes office, if someone catches him, it will be too late to regret.

Li Yuanqing stopped untying his belt, turned around and said with a smile, "I was negligent, but it's okay, you come with me to Li's Mansion tomorrow."

She had originally chosen Li Yuanqing's holiday, so she bought those gifts, it would be shameful to go empty-handed.

When Mrs. Zhao heard that the two of them were going to visit Li's mansion, she had a strange look on her face, and Du Xian did the same. It was only then that Du Xiaoyu realized that the two of them are such polite people. When the fish thought of this, he would have been rushing him a long time ago.

So there must be something hidden in there.

Seeing that Du Huanghua went to Mrs. Cui's room with food as usual, she said she was going to see Mrs. Cui, and the two of them went together. As soon as they stepped out of the room, she asked in a low voice, "What's the matter with father and mother?" ?”

Du Huanghua naturally knew about it, and sighed, "I didn't want to tell you. In fact, as soon as father and mother came to the capital, they went to visit Mrs. Li in the Li residence. As a result... I don't know what happened. After I came back, my face was very bad, and I didn’t tell them when I asked them, I guess the Li family members neglected them.”

I'm afraid it's not as simple as negligence, Du Xiaoyu is very annoyed, Du Xian and his wife are such simple people, she knows very well that they went to visit their in-laws with a sincere heart, but in the end they were bullied!
"Don't be impulsive, it doesn't have to be Mrs. Li." Du Huanghua paused and said, "Mother didn't say anything, but Dad was asked anxiously by me later, but he said half a sentence, it should be with the Li family. It's about the young master."

The other two young masters of the Li family, the eldest master Li Yuanhui and the second young master Li Yuanyu, are both married. The former is currently a member of the Ministry of Rites, Wai Lang, married the second daughter of Zhang Shaomin, governor of Suzhou, and the latter married Chen Yun, the governor of Guanglu Temple. The youngest daughter, who was originally the right counselor of the Secretary of General Administration, was demoted to the governor of the Secretary of General Administration because of slack in handling affairs.

Du Xiaoyu didn't know the two of them well, and Li Yuanqing never mentioned it, so he couldn't say anything. He only went to serve Cui with Du Huanghua for dinner, and then returned to his room.

On the second day, he went to Li's mansion in a sedan chair.

Li's Mansion is located on Anqian Street, and the people living in this area are rich and powerful. Along the road, there are four to six guards guarding the door of every household, and Li's Mansion is no exception.

Seeing Li Yuanqing and Du Xiaoyu got out of the sedan chair, the guard knew Li Yuanqing, and hurriedly called someone in to report.

Li's mansion is as big as several Bai mansions. There is a long way from the sedan chair hall to the courtyard. There are many plum trees planted on both sides. It can be imagined that the plum blossoms must be wafting in the spring.There is a large garden sandwiched between the front yard and the courtyard. Going forward, the back yard is where Mrs. Li lives. At this moment, a maid has been sent to welcome her.

Mrs. Li sat on the chair covered with brocade cushions, with a smile on her face, "I wanted to call Yuan Hui, Yuan Yu went to Bai's house to see, you are new to the capital, can you help me, I didn't expect Just come over."

The two went up to see Mrs. Li, and Li Yuanqing cupped his hands and said, "If I don't come to see my mother that day, I hope my mother will forgive me." He said and gave some gift boxes.

"Why do our family say these kind words? But you really shouldn't, how can you live in Bai's house? I don't know, and I, as a mother, deliberately don't let you live." Mrs. Li glanced at the gift box, Sighing, "The master wrote a letter and told me to take good care of you, so you should come here as soon as possible, otherwise the master will definitely blame me."

This is also a polite word. If you really want to invite them to live, how can you use such a flat tone, as if you are repeating something. Fortunately, they don't want to live either. Li Yuanqing said, "I will make this matter clear to my father. Mother, please don't blame yourself." After saying these few words, it's time to leave.

Mrs. Li pretended to stay, "Since you're here, let's have a meal before leaving."

"I still have things to do, so I can only accompany my mother another day." Li Yuan replied calmly.

After the two left, Mrs. Li restrained the artificial smile on her face, pointed to the gift box, and told the maid beside her, "You take it and divide it among yourself."

They were all good gifts, and the maids embraced them happily after hearing this.

Du Xiaoyu hadn't seen clearly the home where Li Yuanqing had lived here for three years before he came and left, so he smiled and asked, "Where did you live before?"

He pointed away, "See that corner of the eaves?"

In the early morning sunlight, the corners of the eaves are very eye-catching like swallows spreading their wings. The tiles are blue glass tiles, bright and shining, and complement the blue sky. Du Xiaoyu looked around again, but there is no such yard .

It seems that Li Yu treats Li Yuanqing really well.

It's no wonder that the other two sons hate Li Yuanqing, maybe it's not just because he is a bastard, that's why they blamed their father and mother that day?
Du Xiaoyu thought so, before walking a few steps, he suddenly heard a mocking voice from behind, "Hey, why, you are hypocritical and don't want to move here, but you want your father to come back to pick you up in person?"

When she looked back, she was a young man with greasy hair and pink noodles. She could tell that he was somewhat similar to Li Yu, but he didn't inherit more advantages.Judging by age, he might be only one or two years older than Li Yuanqing, so it should be Li Yuanyu, the second young master of the Li family. Du Xiaoyu immediately felt a sense of disgust in his heart.

Li Yuanqing didn't want to talk to him either, and walked straight forward.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuanyu would not let them go, ran up a few steps and stopped in front of him, pointed at Li Yuanqing's nose and said, "What are you pretending to be noble! If you want to move in, just say so, don't play these disgusting tricks!"

Li Yuanqing looked at him and said calmly, "I won't move back."

"You won't? You won't?" Li Yuanyu screamed holding his stomach as if hearing the funniest joke in the world, "Oh, it's so funny, do you think I'm an idiot? What kind of shit is in your mouth People who can vomit, do you think I will believe it? Last time you pretended to go to Feixian County, you really thought you would not be greedy for our Li family's things, but it turned out that you couldn't hold back and wanted to come back again? Tsk tsk, it's really Longsheng Dragon, phoenix begets phoenix, mouse's son can make a hole, your mother will be a lowly concubine, and you will come back as a money-robbing bastard!"

These words were extremely vicious, Du Xiaoyu really didn't expect that a half-brother with Li Yuanqing would say such words, he was completely shameless, he didn't even want his face, he just wanted to insult Li Yuanqing happily.

Du Xiaoyu really wanted to rush up and kick Li Yuanyu hard, but just as the thought flashed through her, she heard Li Yuanyu scream, and flew backwards, hitting the screen behind with a bang.

Li Yuanqing's eyes are like snow, which can freeze people to death.

Li Yuanyu gritted his teeth in pain, his face twisted, "You, how dare you hit me?"

"It's not the first time, you should have gotten used to it." He flicked his sleeves.

Li Yuanyu was extremely angry, but he didn't know martial arts, so he immediately yelled, "Come here, come here, tie up this bastard!"

The voice was very loud, and seven or eight servants ran out in a short while, but they all looked at each other and dared not take a step forward when they saw that they were going to arrest Li Yuanqing.

Although he is the third young master of the Li family, he is also an official ordered by the court. They dare not tie him up until they die.

Li Yuanyu's confidant, Li Du, stepped forward and whispered in front of the master, "Master, Madam just ordered you not to cause trouble, why did you get into trouble with the third young master again? Hey, it's not that you have suffered a lot, young master, don't tell me Now how many people, even a dozen or so, are no match for him!"

Li Du's words are based on facts. When Li Yuanqing first entered Li's house, Li Yuanyu only thought he was a hard-educated and easy to bully, and wanted to find someone to beat him up, but instead, Li Yuanqing beat him until he couldn't get off for a few days. After Li Yu found out about this, he didn't say a single harsh word to Li Yuanqing. Instead, he beat his second son several more times, causing more injuries. He lay on the bed for a month before recovering.

Later, he never dared to provoke Li Yuanqing again.

Only a few years later, he reverted to his old ways. Li Du blamed his master for being forgetful, and brought up this matter again. Li Yuanyu's face immediately turned ugly.

"Then what should I do, let him beat me up? You're a bunch of useless people! You hired someone to teach you martial arts for nothing, and you're as timid as a sesame seed!" He cursed.

At this time, Mrs. Li sent a maid to tell Li Yuanyu to come over. Li Yuanyu was worried that he would not be able to get off the stage. Helped go.

Those servants also scattered in a herd.

It was only at this time that Du Xiaoyu really realized what kind of life Li Yuanqing lived in those three years. Although he was loved by Li Yu, he was busy with government affairs and didn't stay at home. He often finds opportunities to bully people.

"Fortunately, you learned martial arts from your uncle." She sighed sincerely, otherwise a person like Li Yuanyu would be really frustrated just by cursing, and he would have to be beaten hard to be happy!

"He just has a bit of a poisonous mouth." Compared with the other one's scheming, Li Yuanyu is really nothing. He provokes repeatedly, isn't it because of Li Yuanhui's instigation behind him?

Hearing that there was something in his words, Du Xiaoyu comforted, "Anyway, we don't live here, so it's fine if these people don't mention it."

He smiled slightly, reached out to hold her hand, "That's right."

The two left the Li residence side by side.
