Li You suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Inspector Liu kept calling me "nephew" and "nephew" affectionately. It turned out that I had evil intentions towards the young master. If I had known this, I should have tried every means to see what his daughter looked like last time at his house. As for the Guan family, although
It's excusable, but Li You won't forgive him.
Not thinking about shutting down the family for the moment, Li You started thinking about the Liu family. Inspector Liu was the lowest ninth-grade official in the official hierarchy. Although he was a military officer who could not interfere with political affairs, he was also an official official of the highest rank. He had one to two hundred people, and
It is the only legal force in this county from the surface of Taihu Lake to the land coast.
Such a father-in-law... considering his status as a county official, he is really a good family. You know, there are only seven high-quality officials in the county.
From this point of view, it's not bad. Li You finally concluded that he just didn't know what his daughter looked like and whether he could bear it.
But Mother Li suddenly burst into tears at this moment, "Why does his daughter come to my mistress when she can't get married..."
Li You's heart skipped a beat. Hearing this, there was something wrong with the daughter of the Liu family. He felt a little anxious. Today, all the people in the family were hesitating, and no one could fully explain what was going on. Hearing this made him heartbroken.
Regardless of his superiority or inferiority, he grabbed his brother Li Zuo and said, "You have to explain clearly!"
Li Zuo said frightenedly: "The young lady from the Liu family is an outsider. There are rumors that she has a strange appearance and that she suddenly became mute for some reason the year before last. All of this is not true, so my mother is very dissatisfied and feels that she has wronged you too much.
But my father wanted to agree. We argued for a long time."
When Father Li heard that Mrs. Zhu was crying, he couldn't help shouting: "What kind of knowledge do women have! The second wife married the Liu family's daughter, and a powerful force has been added to the county. Isn't that a good thing? Why are you crying!"
Mrs. Zhu also argued: "I don't care about this. My second-in-law is both talented and beautiful, and he has made history at a young age. How many people in the county can compare with him? Why worry about not being able to find a suitable wife and insisting on marrying that crooked melon and cracking jujube?"
Are you going to die as a waiter for the rest of your life?"
Li You just wanted to interrupt and correct his mother. Both talent and beauty are used to describe women. Then Li's father said again: "With your little vision, waiters are the rarest. I haven't seen that there are a lot of talented men and women in the county, and there are so many young and talented people."
Compared to the Liu family, who in the county is even more rare and can marry their mistress! There is no place to look for such a good thing!"
Mrs. Zhu angrily scolded her husband: "Xiaoer is already a classic official, so what's the benefit of joining the Liu family? The Liu family are not relatives of the emperor, so what can they do for the second official? Without him, the Liu family, Xiaoer is a classic official.
What's the difference between the Liu family, the waiter and Dian Shi? Everyone can see your thoughts, it's just that you, an old man, want to get into the Liu family!"
Father Li's beard stood up angrily, "It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable! What else do I want at this age? I'm just thinking about my descendants! There is no hereditary theory in the history of Xiaoer, but there is a court system for inspecting military attachés.
It can be inherited from generation to generation! Being married to his family can bring glory to two or three generations. You blind old woman really can't see far!"
Mrs. Zhu scolded again: "You old thief! Don't think I'm so stupid. Do you think I don't know anything about the unscrupulous things you do? The Liu family's reputation is not that of a kind family, and they really have the same bad taste as you. You guys
What should I do if I don’t have any evil intentions and let the waiter suffer retribution!”
At this moment, Father Li was stuck and stared in silence.
Li Zuo whispered to Li You: "Brother, you are not often in Xishui. The reputation of local inspection inspector Liu is not very good. He is very cruel and domineering." He was afraid that Li You would not understand deeply, so he gave an example: "Follow me.
My father’s reputation was almost the same when he was a head catcher in the county town.”
Li You thought about it for a moment. After seeing him a few times, he felt that Inspector Liu was not very vicious. Could it be that his eyesight was not perfected? Or was Inspector Liu too good at pretending?
With a bang, Father Li suddenly hit the table with his fist and shouted almost madly: "You all know nothing! Do you know why the Liu family's daughter is so isolated? Do you know how his engaged son-in-law died that year?"
Although there is no evidence, it is rumored that he disobeyed Inspector Liu before marriage and was drowned in Taihu Lake!"
What terrible news! Everyone in the room was shocked.
"How dare you refuse! How dare you refuse!" Father Li continued to bang the table and shouted, very violently.
Li You's mind was buzzing. It would be better not to have such a father-in-law.
Li Zuo was shocked and watched as he sent a trace of sympathy to Li You, "Little brother, you are miserable..."
Not many people knew about this rumor. Li's father was the chief arrester of the county government and was well-informed, so he still vaguely knew about it. Now that he knew Liu's inspection methods and was more powerful than his own family, how could Li's father dare to refuse his request?
.But others in the family didn't know it. Li's father had been bearing inexplicable pressure alone, which eventually led to his mental disorder.
Having said that, this is because Father Li scared himself. The matter is not that serious. The key is that Father Li has done a lot of vicious things in his life. The more he pretends to do such things in his heart, the deeper he understands them.
The more sensitive I am, the more I fear it will happen to me. Today I am always paranoid and worried that this is retribution for my lack of good deeds, but the word "retribution" mentioned by Zhu finally triggered me into an attack.
In one sentence, the more ghosts are in people's hearts, the more they are afraid of ghosts. In another sentence, only when one has something wrong with one's heart, one is afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.
Li Zuo whispered: "Well, just let Inspector Liu give up his mind, right?"
Father Li laughed angrily: "How to give up? Cut off Xiao Er's leg? Or chop off a hand? Then the Liu family will naturally give up the idea."
Li You trembled with fright and said, I am also a county official, so I shouldn't be treated like this. My father is in an inexplicable mood today, and I really can't listen to everything he says. The family is too excited and can't discuss anything.
, it’s better to go back and think of something on your own.
Thinking of this, Li You said: "There are a lot of county government affairs these days, and my son is very busy. He has returned to the county for the time being. As for the marriage, he will figure it out by himself." He then comforted his mother and said, "Father is making alarmist remarks, please don't worry, mother."
Okay, nothing will happen."
Along the way, Li You gradually calmed down and thought about the matter in his mind. In fact, his brother was right. He just needed to let Inspector Liu give up his mind. There was no need to worry about anything else for the time being.
To be honest, Miss Liu's Li You doesn't want to marry her from the bottom of her heart! She is a widow, which is good and psychologically exciting; she is a widower, which is even better, she can be a virgin; her father is an official, which is even better, and has a good reputation.
It's almost almost, it's not surprising. But he has a strange appearance and is mute. Marrying such a wife, where can he put his reputation as a romantic celebrity? If he talks about it, it will make people laugh to death, and it will only make people point at Li Dianshi.
You don't even want to lose face in order to get friends with officials. Do you want to stick to such a person for the rest of your life?
What's more, what my mother said is right. Without the Liu family, Li You would be a Dianshi. With the Liu family, he would still be a Dianshi. What is the purpose of wronging himself? Being a Dianshi in charge of a certain government affairs may not bring any worse benefits than an inspection.
How many.
Others are not too afraid. Inspection inspections are under the jurisdiction of the magistrate and county. Although the head of a county cannot appoint hereditary inspections, he has the power to request that the county inspections be exempted. In this post-Jiashen era, civil servants are in charge of the country.
Under the system, with Mr. Chen's protection and his low reputation, Inspector Liu should not act recklessly.
After thinking about this, Li You really felt that his father was acting abnormally today. It seemed that even a strong man like his father had hidden vulnerabilities in his heart. It would be good for his mental health to vent his emotions. The older you get, the more courageous you become.
The smaller it is.
I wonder what Inspector Liu sees in me? I must correct it resolutely. I must find a way to reject this marriage.
