It's ice and snow in the wild, and there's a lot of traffic in the city.
Today is the beginning of the year, and the whole city is celebrating. Every family is slaughtering pigs and sheep, and every household can smell the aroma of meat.
Among the tens of thousands of households in Zhenyi City, the most lively one is the Li Family Courtyard...
All the servants of the Li family, who were not leading the army or sitting in the army, after receiving the news yesterday, no matter how far away they were or how difficult the road was, they all rushed to Zhenyi with all their strength, for fear of being late.
step.
He was so bold as Li Song that he even left the army stationed on the shores of Juyan Lake to his lieutenant, and on the grounds that "I have an urgent matter for you to deal with", he hurriedly traveled hundreds of miles through the night to Zhenyi.
If Li Chengzhi is serious about it, he may be facing the end of his career as Commander-in-Chief Wei, who has only been in office for two months and still hasn’t warmed his buttocks.
The reason for this is just because Gao Wenjun is about to give birth...
As long as Li Chengzhi has no heirs, all the generals in Xihai will not be able to settle down for a day, let alone the servants of the Li family who are tied to Li Chengzhi's bones and muscles.
To put it bluntly: What is the purpose of following Li Chengzhi in rebellion with fear and tuck your head in your belt? Isn’t it just for the wealth of your descendants?
And if Li Chengzhi had no heirs, how could he continue his wealth?
Furthermore, Zhang Jingmo gave birth to a girl last month. Under this premise, Li Song and others were like dry seedlings looking into the rain, with their heads bowed and their heads bowed, all hoping that Gao Wenjun would give birth to a son for their husband. So.
As soon as Fang got the news, he came quickly.
These people knew they would be scolded, and more likely, whipped, so they came here secretly.
The results came more and more, and before noon, there were more than a hundred people standing in the courtyard...
No matter how big the main hall of Li's family is, it can't accommodate so many people. But it's not a problem to wait all this time. But God is kind, there is neither wind nor rain today, and the sun in the courtyard is quite warm. Li Shiliang
I simply suggested setting up a few banquet tables in the courtyard.
There were not many servants in the family, and during the New Year, Guo Yuzhi showed compassion for the poor and sent them home early. Therefore, as soon as the guest No. 100 arrived, he had to work hard for the master's family.
Fortunately, there were not many other people in the Li Mansion, except for the number of female relatives. Guo Yuzhi gave an order, and in an instant, more than twenty people came out.
No matter how many people were herded by high-ranking officials or generals who led many soldiers, they were still members of the Li clan at heart. Otherwise, they would not have come so early and so well.
Going further, except for Li Shiliang, everyone here is a servant of the Li family. Regardless of whether they are Li Shixian's concubines, or the wives and concubines of Li Chenghong, Li Chengxue, and Li Chengxiu, they are all the mistress.
How can there be any reason to sit still when the mistress is tired?
Everyone couldn't sit still for a while, and before the women could take action, they started to work themselves. Some chopped firewood, some lit the fire, some killed pigs, some slaughtered sheep. Some made tea, some prepared vegetables, and some
Warming wine, cooking pot...
Afraid that Gao Wenjun would be nervous, Li Chengzhi kept watch all night. It was not until the birth was imminent that he was kicked out by Guo Yuzhi. The result was: Good guy, a good Li's villa has been turned into a self-service farmhouse?
Moreover, he could not be driven away, so Li Chengzhi scolded and cursed him angrily, and he just stayed outside the courtyard, insisting on waiting for confirmation.
Such a thing cannot be forced by military orders. Li Chengzhi could only let it go.
At this time, his hair was messy and his crown was not tied up. He was standing under the wall with his sleeves rolled up, talking to Li Shiliang, Li Song and others wordlessly.
If you don't look at that face, you look like an old farmer, with no appearance at all.
My mother-in-law is giving birth to a baby, why are you joining in the fun?
He looked at the lively scene in the yard and frowned, "I'm only twenty years old, sir. Are you so impatient?"
"Yes...no rush...no rush..."
Li Song just followed Li Chengzhi's words and his teeth stuck out.
If you weren't in a hurry, why did you stay with my wife all night?
Cursing Li Chengzhi, Li Song recalled the scene with Yingying and Yanyan just now, and thought for a while: "I just saw all the ladies and dozens of young men, how envious are you? This is how my Li family should be prosperous.
But I think there are still some flaws..."
Facing Li Chengzhi's questioning gaze, Li Song subconsciously shrank his neck. But the words he wanted to say came to his lips, and he had to say them out even if he was whipped today.
"I beg your pardon for being bold: the eldest husband and the three young men are all in good health. There are several young men, but the only one who has no heirs is the young man. In the end, the reason is that he has too few wives..."
Li Chengzhi sneered and glared at Li Song: "Li Changmao, do you really dare to say that?"
With just this sentence, cold sweat broke out on Li Song's forehead.
It is indeed a bit bold, and these words are not the way of a minister. But it is not just one Li Song, but all the servants of the Li family, Xihai officials, and generals all think this way.
But I kept it in my heart, not as bold as Li Song.
Li Chengzhi didn't care much, let alone get angry. He was just a little helpless: in other places, he would only be reminded a few words. But in Li Chengzhi's case, it would become a topic that couldn't be ignored.
It wasn't just servants like Li Song who were worried about him. In the inner house, Li Chengzhi was almost nagged to death by Guo Yuzhi. Including Gao Wenjun, Zhang Jingmo, and even Zhang Jingzhi, his father-in-law, came to persuade him to let him go again.
There are several rooms for concubines.
And there are ready-made examples at home: look at Li Shixian, he has seven concubines. Last year, he was kidnapped by Gao Zhao and brought to Xiazhou, and his fifth wife added another daughter to his family.
Li Chengzhi did the math and found that including the youngest brother, he could no longer count the number of brothers with just two hands.
Looking at the eldest brother and the third brother, they are no weaker than their father: Li Chenghong's wife, six concubines, and now they have three sons and four daughters. Li Chengxue is even more exaggerated. Although he only has four concubines, he has five sons and three daughters.
Including Li Chengxiu, who just got married the year before last and will be 18 this year, already has two sons.
Coupled with the powerful killer weapon of penicillin, there were almost no premature deaths, so Li Song dared to say: It’s time for my Li family to prosper...
Only Li Chengzhi not only had few wives and concubines, but also had no male children.
Moreover, he is still the legitimate son, and more importantly, the Li family's huge foundation now includes an army of 50,000 in Xihai and more than 200,000 households, all of which depend on his leadership.
Therefore, whether or not to marry a wife, who to marry, whether to have sons, and how many sons to have are no longer Li Chengzhi’s business alone, nor can he have the final say...
Seeing that Li Chengzhi showed no signs of anger, Li Shiliang also advised: "Chang Mao's words are reasonable: As a lord, it is not a blessing if his heirs are not prosperous. Therefore, Chengzhi must not take it lightly..."
After a pause, he hesitated and said, "The Ren family has a daughter, the sister of Ren Guang (Ren family's legitimate son and nephew of Li Shiliang), De Shuxianliang... Why don't we let Yuzhi take a look first?"
Li Chengzhi shook his head: "Just wait!"
Everyone already knows that this kind of thing is not his final say, so naturally he cannot be as casual as Li Shixian, Li Chengzhihong and Li Chengxue.
