Chapter 162 Uncle's Story
"Then the fifth brother passed the student examination and Qiuwei examination, and got the favor of Tang Shangshu? Or is it because he is lucky? If we say that Prince Qin and Prince Jin are young and have no vision, what about Shangshu Tang?
Are you also blind? Is it because your fifth brother is lucky? Brother Shan, my mother-in-law said, you are jealous of your fifth brother..."
"I didn't!" Li Wenshan hurriedly defended.
"You know clearly in your heart that your fifth brother is better than you, much better than you! You don't want to admit it, but your wife's words just hit your heart, and you believed her immediately.
Alas, Brother Shan, I don't blame you, this is human nature.
Back then, when I saw Fifth Brother, your Sixth Brother and Ninth Sister for the first time, I saw that these children were so good, so much better than you and your younger brothers and sisters. I felt sour in my heart for several nights.
Can't sleep."
Mrs. Yan patted her eldest son's hand and said, "The same goes for your father. I don't know how many times he has said that it would be great if this fifth brother, even the sixth brother, were his own."
"Auntie, I..." Li Wenshan's eyes turned red and tears fell.
"Both my mother and father are very sad. You and your second and third brothers... I don't blame you for this. But you have to understand that it is your blessing that the fifth brother is so outstanding. It is Li."
The blessing of family.
Look at your second uncle. He has been a celebrity in this capital for half his life. Isn’t it all because of your father’s hard work and support? Brother Shan, it’s human nature and I don’t blame you. But these are big things about right and wrong. You
We can’t be confused anymore.”
Mrs. Yan spoke earnestly and thoughtfully, and Li Wenshan nodded repeatedly, "Auntie, I understand, it was always me... who was wrong in the past."
"You are a good boy. Remember, keep your eyes on right and wrong, and you will not make any big mistakes. When you first chose your daughter-in-law, my mother-in-law told you that she liked the Zhao family.
Your family background, hereditary marquis, your future is limited, and having such an in-law is someone you can rely on. I can’t be too picky about this person."
Li Wenshan lowered his head.
"Your wife is narrow-minded and short-sighted. You have to know this. You have to have a backbone when it comes to family matters. You cannot listen to your wife's instigation. If you stand firm, your wife will not make big mistakes. If you are soft-hearted,
...Sooner or later, you will have to kill your wife's son. It is really for your wife's good that you set the rules for her."
"I've written it down, grandma, I..." Li Wenshan covered her face.
"There is one more thing. Since I have said it today, I will tell you the truth." Mrs. Yan patted Li Wenshan and continued: "I won't say more about your great-grandmother. Your father has told you more than once. I
Just talking about whether the concubine is a concubine or not, if the concubine is a bitch, then your third sister, fourth sister, fifth sister, and eighth girl are all bitches too?
Your wife also gave you two wives, will she be a bitch if she gives birth to a child?"
"Auntie." Li Wenshan was extremely embarrassed upon hearing this.
"You know how much your mother-in-law loves your third sister. The mistress is a bastard because she is a concubine. How come she is here with your third sister? Even though she is a concubine, she looks worse than your brothers.
Stronger?" Mrs. Yan stared at Li Wenshan and asked.
"Grandma... Grandma, I understand." Li Wenshan's voice was low.
"Okay, it's good that you know it. Don't think too much. Alas, after all, there are few smart people. As long as you know that you are not smart, you are smart." Mrs. Yan stood up, "These things have passed. A Niang originally wanted to wait.
You'll have to wait until you take the exam in the spring. It's a coincidence today, so it's good to have an idea in your mind earlier, which can only be beneficial."
Mrs. Yan babbled on for a few more words, left Li Wenshan's study, returned to her courtyard, sat and drank half a cup of tea, and told Yingying, "Go and call Brother Xian."
Cherry agreed and went to the grandma Zhao's yard to pick up the young master Xian Geer in person.
……………………
Gaoyou County.
Xu Huan recovered quickly. Within a few days, he was able to get up on his own and walk to the yard to bask in the sun.
When Li Wenlan and Li Xia ran into the yard one after another, Xu Huan was half lying on a leisure chair, basking in the sun and reading a book with relish.
Seeing Li Xia and Li Wenlan running in, Xu Huan quickly put down his book, sat up, and picked up the plate of peeled dried chestnuts from the table next to him.
Li Xia and Li Wenlan ran to Xu Huan and leaned on the free chairs, one on the left and the other on the right. Xu Huan held the dried chestnuts and smiled and said: "Have you, A Xia and Brother Lan, eaten this? Try it, it's delicious."
Mr. Guo bought this, especially for you two."
"No, my husband bought this for my uncle." Li Xia weighed a chestnut, took a bite and said vaguely.
Xu Huan burst into laughter and stretched out his hand to scratch Li Xia's nose, "You little devil, my uncle asked my husband to buy it specially for you to eat. How do you like it? Is it delicious? My uncle's favorite when he was a child.
Eat these dried chestnuts.”
"Uncle, don't you like eating it now?" Li Wenlan asked while biting a chestnut.
"I like to eat it now, but my uncle can't eat it now. He's not fully recovered yet. Your mother-in-law said that he can't eat this and he can't eat that, so he has no choice but to eat neither this nor that." Xu Huanzuo
Look at A Xia, look right at Li Wenlan, smile and say.
"Uncle is so pitiful!" Li Wenlan looked sympathetic.
"Uncle, have you eaten today's braised pork?" Li Xia took another chestnut.
"Your mother-in-law said it's too oily and you can't eat it!" Xu Huan said with a bitter look on his face.
Li Wenlan hugged Xu Huan's arm and giggled, "Uncle is so pitiful."
"The braised pork is delicious." Li Xia lay on the armrest of Xiaoyao chair and looked at Xu Huan with a smile.
"Two little rascals! Just wait. When uncle can eat the braised pork, he will have to eat all the braised pork in one go and won't leave a piece for you." Xu Huan laughed, patting him left and right.
"Let Aunt Tang cook a lot, a lot, a big pot, you won't be able to finish it!" Li Wenlan jumped and shouted happily.
"Uncle, tell me a story." Li Xia asked, lying on the armrest of the chair and looking at Xu Huan.
"What story are you telling? Are you telling stories about your uncle's childhood?" Xu Huan handed the chestnut plate to Papaya and looked at Axia and asked.
Papaya took the plate and brought two small skewers over.
"Well! I just like to listen to my uncle's stories, and my great-grandmother's story. Uncle will tell you another one." Li Xia sat on the small spoon handed over by Papaya, put his arms on the armrests of Xu Huan's chair, and looked expectantly.
Hold him.
"I like it too!" Li Wenlan jumped over and sat on the small stool.
"Then tell me a story that your great-grandmother told your uncle."
"good!"
"not good!"
Li Xia and Li Wenlan answered at the same time. After hearing Li Xia's "Hello", Li Wenlan reached out anxiously from Xu Huan to pat Li Xia, "We agreed that we would only listen to the story of my great-grandma and my uncle. This is not the story of my great-grandma and my uncle."
