Chapter 15 The Chen Family
King Sui and Princess Dou both have their own things to be busy with. Seeing that Li Lijun has nothing to do here, they will naturally not talk to her any more.
The two just asked Li Lijun to rest well and take medicine, and then left. Princess Dou left an extra maid named Shen Jiang to be responsible for arranging Li Lijun's daily expenses while she was recovering from her injuries. We can't expect little Yang to do these things now.
Princess Dou must take good care of her little granddaughter before she can slap the heir king Li Dai in the face.
When the doctor treated Li Lijun earlier, he mentioned that she had an injury on her foot. In order to avoid aggravating the injury, it was best not to move it easily. Therefore, although she had been carried by Erhong for a while, she still had to stay temporarily.
Recuperate in the water pavilion, at least until the foot injury is basically healed before you can return to your own yard.
Li Lijun doesn't care. She comes to live in Shuige every year. She only moved out two months ago this year and is very used to it. Besides, her yard is too close to her sisters, although Li Yanjun has been sent to a side yard.
Although she was grounded, Li Chujun was not involved. If she didn't think clearly, she might come and harass her. Where does Li Lijun have the spare time to fight with the little girl now?
She has a lot to do!
Mrs. Shao had already brought people to move Li Lijun's clothes, and now she sent people back to get more things. Shen Jiang watched the maids rearrange the room, and also asked people to find the smoker cage and charcoal basin.
I came out to avoid the chilly water vapor at night and chilling Li Lijun.
When everything was ready, Shen Jiang felt that everything was fine inside and out. He stared at Li Lijun and drank the medicine newly prescribed by the doctor, then resigned and went back to return to Princess Dou.
Li Lijun was already injured. After struggling for so long, she felt a little sleepy at this time and couldn't help but yawn.
Erhong then asked: "Are you sleepy, little lady? I have made the bed. Can you take a nap, little lady, to rest your mind?"
Li Lijun looked out the window: "It's still bright, isn't it too early to go to bed now?"
Erhong said: "With so many things happening today, no one will let the young lady go to the mourning hall. It's better for the young lady to take a rest. She has shed so much blood today, and her vitality must have been damaged. If she doesn't rest,
Okay, what if the root of the disease remains?"
Li Lijun thought it made sense, so she let her carry her into the bed in the back room.
Mrs. Shao followed in and carefully helped Li Lijun lie down. She couldn't help but shed tears: "My little lady was hurt so badly and lost so much blood. I don't know how long it will take to regain her strength. But now is the time.
During the mourning period of the wife, the young lady wears heavy mourning, and all day the family can only eat clear soup with little water, without any trace of meat or fish, how can we get better?"
Erhong was surprised: "No way? The little lady is like this, why should she continue to eat rice soup without oil and water? Just now, the prince, princess and the heir have all said that they want the little lady to have a good life, so how can this happen?
Did you wrong my little lady over the food?"
Mrs. Shao shed tears and said: "Noble people will naturally not wrong the little lady, but some people will deliberately not make it easy for the little lady. People who know the truth know that the little lady is injured and needs to replenish her strength, so she eats meat. Then
Uninformed people, after hearing a few rumors, would probably accuse the young lady of being unfilial and enjoying a lot of money during the filial period. Can we still refute them one by one? By then, the young lady's reputation will be ruined, and she will still be filial in the future.
What future can there be?”
Erhong was angry when he heard this: "Three ladies have been banned. I'm afraid it will take some time for Mrs. Yang to clear herself of the suspicion. Is it possible that in such a situation, they will still hold on to the little lady."
?!"
Mrs. Shao shook her head: "There is no need for them to come forward in person for this kind of thing. They only need to arrange a few servants to gossip around. Now that someone comes to express condolences today, what if someone in front of the guest whispers something to the guests...
The young lady still needs to recover from her injuries, who can defend her?"
Erhong's face turned red after hearing this.
Li Lijun was very calm: "I am a child. What I eat and drink on weekdays are all arranged by my elders. Since the princess now wants to take care of my diet and daily life, it depends on how she arranges it. As for the people outside
Don't worry about the discussion for now, I know it in my heart." She didn't expect to have a good reputation to marry into a good family. The reputation of the royal family of the Tang Dynasty was much less good. Even if outsiders misunderstood her,
What's the big deal?
Besides, it’s not like she doesn’t know how to fight a public opinion war, so can she really let Xiao Yang scheme against her?
She raised her head and asked Mrs. Shao: "Why are the mothers missing? I've been in trouble for a long time, are they still discussing matters with the Chen family?"
Mrs. Shao's face changed, her expression became more sad, and she shed tears again.
Without Li Lijun opening her mouth, Er Hong asked first: "Ms. Shao, what's wrong with you? Could it be that something bad happened to the nuns?"
Mrs. Shao shed tears and shook her head: "I just heard some rumors... The Chen family wants Zhao Chenji. They say that the young lady is still young and doesn't know how to run a business. They want to go over to raid the shops and manpower.
Where is the reason!"
Li Lijun raised her eyebrows. No wonder the two nuns were tripped up and didn't pay attention to her for so long.
Zhao Chenji Company was the property left by her maternal grandfather Chen Weng. Chen Weng had only one daughter, Chen, and the Chen family had only one child, Li Lijun. Chen Weng and Chen passed away one after another. This property, which the former had earned from scratch, was
Naturally, it should belong to Li Lijun. However, the Chen family is also a big family, and the clan also has many needs. The clan members couldn't help but look at her as a little girl monopolizing such a large family business, so they couldn't help but reach out. The descendants of the Chen family in Wuxing are prosperous.
There are also many capable servants under the sect, and they are very confident that they can run Zhao Chenji and earn more wealth for the family. The smart shopkeepers and clerks left by Chen Weng are even more excellent helpers.
The premise of all this is that the Sui Palace will not refuse their request, and the manpower left by the heir Li Lijun and the late concubine Chen is willing to cooperate with them.
The Chen family does not dare to go against the Sui Palace for the time being. In order to achieve their goal, it is very necessary to win over the Chen family's confidants first. What's more, the children and grandchildren of Grandma Cui and the younger brother of Grandma Lu are all in Zhao.
Chen Ji's subordinates are very easy to handle when doing things.
But Li Lijun felt that this matter was too unreliable. My maternal grandfather was just a side branch of the Chen family in Wuxing, and it was still an unprominent side branch. The relationship with the direct branch could only be regarded as mediocre. In recent years, some of the direct branch have served as officials, and there are officials and places.
Although he was an official, he didn’t have much contact with his grandfather, and they were basically in a state of separate affairs. After his grandfather passed away, those who came to see his mother, the Chen family, were mostly mediocre side branches, especially those who were closer to the grandfather.
House people. These people still expect their mother, who is the heir to the princess, to be their backer. How much confidence do they have to compete with the Sui Palace for property?
When Chen married into the Sui Palace, the generous dowry greatly improved the financial conditions of the palace. Now that she has passed away, how could the owners of the palace be willing to give up this wealth? If the Chen clan had such an idea, then
It's like catching lice on a tiger's head - I don't know how to write the word "death"!
Li Lijun couldn't lie down any longer. She stood up and said to Mrs. Shao: "Nurse, go and call the mothers over. No matter what the Chen clan wants to do, they can't get past me, the rightful master, so that the mothers don't have to."
Worry about me and tell me if you have anything. My grandma has just passed away and a funeral is being held in the front yard. People come to express condolences every day. How could the Chen clan cause such a scandal at this time and lose my grandfather and grandma?
