Chapter 160 Father and Daughter
Most of the clan members who came to attend Chen's burial ceremony stayed in the Saga Mountain Villa for one night and returned to the capital the next day.
The aunts were very concerned about Li Lijun's daily life in the other industry, and told her to just send someone back to Chang'an to tell them if she had any needs. Considering that Li Lijun only had one non-biological grandmother and one close relative in her own home.
Although the aunts took care of mediocre things, neither Li Dai nor Li Lang had a wife to take charge of the housework, so the children still needed their aunts and uncles to take care of their children. They did this because of the long-term relationship between the deceased Chen and them.
For my sake.
Regardless of whether these aunts and uncles are sincere or polite, Li Lijun is grateful. For no other reason than that they drove hundreds of miles to attend Chen's burial ceremony in such cold and windy weather.
It's very rare.
As for the clan members who were not very familiar with Li Lijun, they all left gifts for her, and also told her to just come to her door if she needed anything. However, Li Lijun just listened to this and couldn't take it seriously. In these clan clans,
After her ancestors, Chen Weng, and the Chen family passed away one after another, her relationship with them had become very weak. She would not disturb them unless necessary.
Li Lijun greeted the elders who came to watch the ceremony politely, being a well-behaved and silent little girl, and leaving other matters to the people around her. The elders comforted her, gave her a few words, and stayed.
After one night, I made sure that the living environment in Bieye was not bad, so I left with peace of mind.
But the three relatives who came from the Sui Palace were not so easy to get rid of.
Not to mention the two uncles, the scumbag father Li Dai is a big | trouble. After he was invited home by Xin Changshi, he finally found out that his daughter Li Lijun gave 80% of Zhao Chenji's profits to his stepmother, Princess Dou, and "bought" it
He learned about the fact that Princess Dou's maiden brother was forced to take over the loss-making industry of Sagashan Forestry Farm. He was so angry that he repeatedly blamed his wet nurse and his confidants for not telling him the news in time. He tried to stop the matter early and could not listen to his wet nurse at all.
justification.
Anyway, it was everyone else's fault, and it was definitely not his refusal to go home that caused the delay.
He believed that his stepmother was a black-hearted person who was greedy for his daughter's money, wanted her to take over her parents' family's business, and even sent her to Sanyuan Township. If he wanted to withdraw his wife's dowry money in the future, he would not be able to do so.
If you look for your daughter and the servant girl next to her, you can only ask your stepmother for help. How can you bear this kind of thing?!
When the father and daughter had some space alone, Li Dai neither asked how his daughter was doing in Saga Mountain, nor did he care whether she was still sad after seeing off her late mother today. He opened his mouth to ask about Zhao Chen's 80% of the income.
: "How could you agree to such a thing without asking your father?! Don't you know that Princess Dou is deliberately greedy for your money?! You are young and don't know how to manage the property left by your mother, so why don't you
Leave it to your father?! Apart from your father, who else in this world is closer to you?!"
Li Lijun said expressionlessly: "Aye was not at home at the time, who could I ask to go?"
Li Dai also knew that he had missed a lot of important things because he was hanging out with Mrs. Guo Guo. He choked for a moment, but quickly said arrogantly: "My father is just not at home for a while, so you won't send someone here."
Send a letter to my father, or wait until my father comes home to discuss it before replying to Princess Dou?!"
Li Lijun continued: "Aye's wet nurse once went to Mrs. Guo's house, but she couldn't see Aye. I wanted to delay it, but Aye was anxiously waiting for money, and I had no choice. I couldn't do it.
Instead of handing over the income from A-niang's shop to Princess Dou, she asked A-weng to take charge of the money on her behalf. Originally, when A-niang was alive, she would use 80% of Zhao Chenji's income for the expenses of the palace every year. At that time, A-weng
It was very convenient for my mother to be in charge of the central government. But now that she is gone, the expenses in the palace cannot stop. Aweng is worried about money, how can he still hold on to the money? Then he handed it over.
."
How could the King of Sui take care of financial affairs by himself? After his daughter-in-law died, he naturally left the matter to the princess.
Li Dai immediately complained to his father: "Without this money, how can the palace starve to death? Aye insisted on coveting his granddaughter's money, but ended up taking advantage of the Dou family!"
Li Lijun raised her head and glanced at her father: "The daily expenses of the palace are nothing more than that. Aweng made a wish before the Buddha that he would start building a Buddhist temple this year. If Aniang hadn't been killed by Xiao Yang, the temple would have started long ago.
No matter whether it is projects or financial expenses, A-niang will not let A-weng worry about it. Now that A-niang is dead and there is no one to take care of it for A-weng, he can't break his promise to Buddha, right? A-weng has no choice but to do it."
So everything is Xiao Yang's fault! Rounding it off, you can also say that everything is your fault, Li Dai!
Li Dai pursed his lips and stopped talking. He could still argue with his stepmother about money, but he really couldn't argue with his biological father. He couldn't trust his biological father, and always felt that his biological father would threaten him as the heir at any time.
He was removed and the third son of the Dou family was chosen as the heir. Therefore, it would be better if he did not offend his father.
It's just Zhao Chenji's money that he really can't bear to part with: "When my father remarries your stepmother, she will take over the gift from the palace. At that time, you should not give this money to Princess Dou again!"
Li Lijun said: "The new stepmother also has her own dowry, right? She is in charge of the prince's palace, so she should also spend her own money. What's the point of using my mother-in-law's dowry? What if she embezzles all my son's money?
Where will my son go to cry? Besides, will Aweng's Buddhist temple be completed next year? After building the Buddhist temple, he will have no other expenses? Will he be willing to let his daughter-in-law take care of it? In the past, my mother never let Aweng do it.
With a little care, can the stepmother do just as well?"
Li Dai suddenly became furious: "You unfilial daughter, what did you say?!"
The unfilial daughter said: "I don't want to listen to my son's words, so I just go outside and yell. I see that you, the heir, insist on taking up my daughter's dowry money. Is it unreasonable? Chang Shi lives in another industry. You can go find him."
Did he say that?"
How could Li Dai ask for trouble? He stood up immediately and said, "Okay, my father will discuss this matter with you, Aweng, and leave your child's family alone. Even if you want to stay here for a long time, don't mess with it."
Tianlai is in the property of Prince Zou's Mansion. The forest farm that Princess Dou planned for you to buy is not far from here. Since you agreed to take it, go and live there. Don't let outsiders see the joke and think that our Sui Prince's Mansion is really a caretaker.
I can’t afford to have children anymore, so I still want to borrow Prince Zou’s house!”
After speaking, Li Dai raised his feet and wanted to leave, but Li Lijun stopped him: "Speaking of stepmother, which lady did Aye choose to be his stepmother? Mrs. Guo Guo or Yang Sixiniang?"
I heard that Yang Sixiniang wanted to marry into our family very much. She said that if she couldn't get married, she would be married to an old man with a white beard by her brother-in-law to fill in the house. Although the old man was a Jiedushi envoy, he had the power to
She is powerful, but she is already very old and has many children and grandchildren. What hope does she have in marrying her? She might as well be Aye's concubine."
Li Dai turned around in surprise: "Where did you hear this?"
"Yang Sixiniang said it herself." Li Lijun blinked, "Brother and eldest sister both know it. If you don't believe me, go ask them?"
Li Dai darkened his face slightly. He thought that Yang Sixiniang was impressed by his talent and magnanimity, but it turned out... because she didn't want to marry an old man with a white beard to fill a house?!
Nowadays, there are several Jiedu envoys who are very old and powerful and have many children and grandchildren. Most of them are generals whom the saints rely on. Some are Hu people and some Han people. But I don’t know which one wants to continue? He competes with such people for his wife.
, is it really no problem?
Li Dai felt uncomfortable in his heart, but thinking of Yang Sixiniang's appearance and figure, he felt that he should save his sister-in-law. But there was no need to renew the relationship. Since Yang Sixiniang was happy to be his concubine, how could he let down the beauty?
