Li Nian was a military commander, and it was normal for him to ride a horse. What surprised Li Man'er was that Yu Sanniang also rode a horse. And under the cloak, she was wearing soft armor, and what she wore on her feet was not the thick-soled embroidered shoes commonly worn by women, but
Thick-soled boots, dressed like a military commander.
Yu Sanniang is very heroic, her appearance is not as soft as ordinary women, and her figure is slightly stronger. But she has a kind of vitality that makes people feel better when they see her, and even the gloomy weather seems to become brighter.
The couple rode their horses to the front of the mansion, got off their horses, and met their relatives.
In the absence of Li Shu, Li Yi was the leader. When the three brothers saw the ceremony, Yu Sanniang also stepped forward to greet Bai.
After all, I can't write two characters "Li" in one stroke. Although my relationship is a bit unfamiliar, I still have to maintain my reputation and don't let outsiders laugh at me.
"Second brother, fourth brother."
"The third child."
"Third brother."
Li Yi's eyes fell on Sanniang and nodded slightly, "Thank you for your hard work, third brother and sister, for running all the way."
Bai's face showed disdain. She was not used to Sanniang's attitude. She just married a reckless husband who was born a concubine. There was nothing to be proud of.
Although I thought so in my heart, my words were beautiful, "Sanniang, we haven't seen each other for four or five years, right? Where are the children? Are they back together this time?"
"Thank you, Second Sister-in-law, for your concern." Yu Sanniang said politely, "We and I will ride on horseback first, followed by the carriage. We should arrive soon."
Li Man'er, Li Tian'er, and Li Xue'er from the fourth room also hurriedly came forward to pay their respects.
"Man'er turned out to be so beautiful." Yu Sanniang has a straightforward character. She praises whomever she wants, and she definitely means it sincerely. Moreover, Li Man'er has the shadow of Ning's family on her body. When she saw it,
The circles under his eyes were so hot that he couldn't even see Li Tian'er beside him.
Li Xue'er was still young and was being held by her mother-in-law, so she didn't know how to care about these things. But Li Tian'er thought too much. Why were they all the same age and standing in the same place? The third aunt only had Li Man'er in her eyes, not her.
"Third aunt."
"Okay." Yu Sanniang pulled Li Man'er excitedly. She had a thousand words to say, but she also understood that now was not the time to talk.
As they were talking, everyone heard the sound of wheels rolling over bluestone slabs. Two carriages came from far away and stopped steadily in front of the mansion.
Everyone's eyes suddenly fell on the two carriages. The door of the carriage in front opened, and a girl about two or three years old was carried out by the mother-in-law. She was as white and cute as a pink dumpling.
Immediately afterwards, a boy about ten years old jumped down. He was born like a calf. In such a cold weather, he didn't even put on a cloak and jumped directly to the top of the steps.
Yu Sanniang said with dignity: "Qingyan, why don't you hurry up and salute your elders."
Li Qingyan quickly suppressed the smile on his face and greeted the elders in a formal manner, "Qingyan has met the second uncle, second aunt, fourth uncle, cousins, and cousins."
The youngest daughter Li Xing'er was also brought over, and she saluted with a sweet voice and said hello.
Li Yi chuckled and said, "Mom is already waiting. It's cold outside. Let's talk after we go in."
A large group of people gathered around Sanfang and his family of four as they walked towards Songhe Hall.
Li Man'er's eyes fell on Li Qingyan several times, thoughtfully.
Li Tian'er saw that her eyes seemed to be quite meaningful, and couldn't help but ask: "Why do you always look at him?" This is the time for such a big boy to be naughty, and besides, the Sanfang family has been in office, and they are far behind Li Qingyan.
I'm several years old and I'm not familiar with it at all, so there's nothing interesting about it.
Li Man'er couldn't deal with her at all.
The group of people all went to Songhe Hall and sat together in a lively manner.
The Li Nian family paid tribute to Mrs. Cui and asked their two children to come forward to greet their grandmother. They also presented gifts brought back from other places. After some greetings, it seemed that the family was in a happy mood.
"How long can you stay when you come back this time?" Mrs. Cui seemed very happy, the wrinkles on her face were smiling, and she looked a little younger.
Li Nian expressed that he was not sure, and added: "Everything depends on the Holy One's wishes. However, the chance of staying in Beijing is slim."
He mainly wanted to express his stance to his aunt-in-law that he did not want to stay here. Everything he had now was made by himself and he would not touch a single cent of the Li family.
Of course Ms. Cui could hear it.
According to her methods, she could have dealt with Li Nian back then and prevented him from having a chance to be born. However, the old Marquis was not a womanizer in the first place, and the only two or three concubines he had were all of average appearance and low-income families.
At that time, Mrs. Cui had already given birth to two sons, and her position in the palace was stable. In addition, Li Nian's mother was an honest person, and her body was so thin that it seemed that she had not grown. Even if she gave birth to a child, she might not be able to live long.
Then he reluctantly did not attack her.
Facts have proved that Ms. Cui's eyes are indeed not ordinary poisonous. The woman had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to Li Nian. Although she survived at the time, she still gave up half a year later.
Cui gave Li Nian to another older, childless concubine to raise, earning herself a virtuous reputation.
Although Li Nian was not treated harshly in the palace, how could his life be any easier for a concubine? Fortunately, he strived for his own success, took the path of martial arts, and gradually made his own name.
"Okay, you have had a hard journey, so go down and rest first! The yard has been tidied up. If you have any questions, we can talk about it later at the family dinner."
"Yes." Li Nian said very respectfully: "Then just follow the mother, and the son will go back first."
Ms. Cui nodded, "Go!"
Everyone then came out of Songhe Hall and returned to their own courtyards.
Bai Shi rubbed her swollen temples and said to Li Yi, "I think it won't be that simple when the third child comes back this time."
Just when Mr. Li thought that Mr. Bai could say something insightful, he heard Mr. Bai say: "Maybe he's also coming back to catch the autumn wind. You didn't see it, but Mrs. Yu was so excited when she saw Li Man'er.
What it looks like is like seeing mountains of gold and silver. Let me tell you, the Ning family tree attracts the wind, and now it looks like a cluster of flowers. Who knows what it will look like in the future."
It would have been better if she didn't say this. After hearing this, Mr. Li was so angry that his beard almost exploded.
"Women's words, do you think everyone is just like you, a money-hungry person?"
Bai was stunned for a moment, and then the grievances in her heart rushed out like a dam bursting, "Are you talking in human language? What do you mean, I'm so blinded by money! Do you think I don't want to be a god? But I'm not
God, I have to eat and drink, and I have to plan the future for my children. If you try to gain some traction and bring back more money, will I be jealous of others?"
Li Yi was even more angry after hearing this, "I don't know what it means." He rolled up his sleeves and went to his aunt's residence.
The unknown fire in Bai's heart aroused Lao Gao, and he threw the comb in his hand directly.
