Li Linfu's carriage drove into Pingkangfang. He came back late today and it was already dark.
When he was approaching the gate of the house, he actually saw a man squatting beside a big tree on the roadside, holding his throat and vomiting. Looking from the back, he looked a bit like his son Wulang.
He immediately stopped the carriage and ordered the steward, "Go and see if the man on the roadside is Wu Lang?"
The steward ran over and came back quickly: "It's Wulang, he seems to be drunk!"
Li Linfu remembered that Wulang had a drinking party tonight to practice for his colleagues.
He was a little annoyed and said: "Hurry and help him back. What's wrong with vomiting outside?"
The steward quickly ran to help Li Dai. Li Dai struggled and shouted: "If I don't go back, then I am not my home. I don't have a wife and son like that. My wife is in Yonghefang, where is my son? He
He is much more promising than that bastard, that is my son, my Li Dai’s son!”
After saying this, he lay down on the tree and cried loudly.
Li Linfu was stunned. Did he hear it correctly?
Li Linfu said coldly to the samurai beside him: "Drag him back and sober him up!"
Li Linfu went back to the study, changed his clothes, and sat on the sofa to read. Half an hour later, the maid said at the door: "Master, the fifth young master is here!"
"Let him in!"
Li Dai came in slowly. He was sober and frightened.
He knelt down and said: "The son begs his father for sin!"
"In my memory, this is the first time you got drunk in a bar!"
"yes!"
"Are you upset because your son got into trouble?"
"yes!"
"No! Are you hiding something from me?"
"No, the child dare not hide from his father!"
Li Linfu slammed the table and said sternly: "You still said no! What's going on in Yonghefang?"
Li Dai's face turned pale and his head hung down weakly.
Li Linfu said coldly: "I'll give you one last chance. Tell me honestly. Don't miss a word!"
Li Dai moved his lips and whispered: "Father, do you still remember the woman who tried to break into the house with a sword fourteen years ago, but was eventually kicked out of the house?"
Li Linfu narrowed his eyes and said after a while: "I remember that little lady, she seems to be named Pei, the daughter of Pei Fang, the deputy governor of Ganzhou?"
"That's her. She was kicked out of the house by her father and has been living in Yonghefang."
"Why?"
"Because she gave birth to a child out of wedlock."
Li Linfu was startled, "Your son?"
Li Dai lay on the ground and burst into tears again, "I haven't seen him a few times since he was born. Today I saw him. He is so tall, he is already fourteen years old."
Li Linfu also felt a little guilty. Because the Yuwen family put pressure on him and forbade his son to take concubines, he ordered Pei Fang's daughter to be driven out of the house. Unexpectedly, she actually gave birth to a child.
"How did she come here after so many years? She didn't fall into the world!"
"No!"
Li Dai shook his head, "Her cousin Pei Min bought her an old house in Yonghefang, and she practiced medicine in Yonghefang, and she worked hard to raise her son."
"Did you give her money?"
"The child wants to give it, but she doesn't take any of it!"
Li Linfu nodded, "It's really not easy to be alone. What do you mean when you say this child has promise?"
"Reporting to my father, this child has been trained by Pei Min since he was a child. He is an excellent polo player. I heard that he recently defeated the apprentices of Feilong and Liefeng."
"It turns out it's him!"
Li Linfu suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Is Fei Shark your son?"
"it's him!"
Li Linfu couldn't sit still for a while. He stood up and paced back and forth. He thought of Li Lin. Li Lin valued this child very much and placed a heavy bet on him. He won 20,000 yuan in one go, causing a sensation in Chang'an and even the emperor was alarmed.
.
It turns out that the child is actually his grandson, which he never imagined in his wildest dreams!
"What's his name?"
"The name is Li Ye, Ye from Yecheng, because the child was born in Ye County."
"Li Ye, this name is not bad, very impressive."
Li Linfu pondered again for a moment. This child was an illegitimate child. It would not have a good reputation if word spread, and it would also annoy the Yuwen family. After all, Yuwenrong was kind to him back then.
Just wait a moment! Let’s see how promising this kid really is.
Li Linfu sat down and asked, "Does your wife know about this?"
"She doesn't know yet!"
Li Linfu whispered: "Only you and I know about this matter, and we cannot tell the third person."
Li Dai said, "Father!"
Li Linfu understood what his son meant, nodded and said: "I know, your son is really good. He has been waiting for fourteen years, and there is no rush. Let's take another look and see how he can survive alone without the support of the Li family."
How far can one person go?"
"If he has any future, I beg my father to help him!"
"That's for sure. He is your son and my grandson. My blood is flowing through my blood. Although some people call me a smiling tiger behind my back, a tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds!"
"Thank you father!"
"Go for it!"
Li Linfu thought for a moment and then said, "I'll leave the management of those restaurants and inns in the east of the city to you."
"Thank you father for your love!"
Li Dai stood up to resign and walked out of the study room. He was filled with emotion. He lost the authority of the manor because of one son, and gained a higher authority because of another son.
More importantly, his father valued that child very much. Li Dai's steps became brisk, and the burden that had weighed him down for more than ten years was finally lifted.
"Stop!"
As soon as Li Dai walked into the courtyard gate, a cold shout came from behind him.
Li Dai slowly turned around, and not far behind her stood her wife Yu Wenshi. Her face was as gloomy as water, and her face was trembling.
"Madam, what's the matter?" Li Dai forced out a smile, but felt a little uneasy. Every time his wife looked like this, nothing good would happen.
Yuwenshi said coldly: "I am telling you officially, on behalf of the Yuwen family, that without my consent, I will not allow you to take anyone home!"
Li Dai cursed in his heart, some talkative servant must have leaked the news.
"What are you talking about?"
Li Dai waved his hand pretending to be relaxed, "Who will I bring back? You are worrying too much."
Yuwen ignored him and still said coldly: "This is the rule of my Yuwen family for hundreds of years. No one is allowed to enter my house without the consent of the eldest wife. If you must do it, then wait until the two families completely fall out.
Bar!"
After saying that, Yuwen turned around and left quickly.
Li Dai was so angry that he kicked the bush hard. For fourteen years, it was because of this woman's jealousy that Sanniang never had the chance to get started.
She always uses her natal family to oppress her father and herself. This is the Li family, not the Yuwen family. This is simply too much bullying.
In the room, Li Linfu called the steward again and told him: "Go and tell the guards that Wu Lang was drunk today and you are not allowed to spread it out, and you are not allowed to talk about the drunken words he said. Anyone who dares to say it will be killed by me."
Tongue!”
The steward was so frightened that he quickly agreed and ran to find the guards.
Li Linfu walked to the window with his hands behind his hands and silently stared at the early moon in the sky.
Every high-ranking person is lonely inside. As the third most powerful person in the Tang Dynasty, Li Linfu is also lonely inside. He has countless wives and concubines. Although he has given birth to twenty-five sons and countless grandsons, he has no one.
Children and grandchildren can inherit his career.
None of his sons can take the lead for him. Li Linfu is really worried that once he passes away a hundred years, will his descendants be able to withstand the liquidation of the Yang family?
Although an unexpected grandson was born today, Li Linfu did not feel very happy. How much future can a child playing polo have?
Historically, not long after Li Linfu died, Yang Guozhong dragged him out of the coffin and whipped his body. All his descendants were exiled and no one was spared, but this book will definitely change.
