Chapter 269 Liu Family Comes
The Liu family in Longmen County, this family belongs to a branch of the Liu family in Hedong. It is also a large family in this small Longmen County, but this wealthy family couldn't bear to raise their heads because of an ugly incident a few years ago.
Liu Qing, the head of the Liu family, once made a marriage with Xue Rengui's father, Xue Gui, because the Xue family belonged to the side branch of the Xue family in Hedong, and the family background was similar to that of Liu Qing. When Xue Gui was in the Former Sui Dynasty, he also served as the Zanzhi of Xiangcheng County (Central Officer) and had a good relationship with Liu Qing.
But later, Xue Gui and his wife died early, leaving Xue Rengui a orphan, and their family declined from a minor official family to a poor peasant family. Because Xue Rengui's appetite was amazing, the output of several waves of thin fields could not afford him.
Coincidentally, Liu Qing had no son, and only had a daughter, Liu Yinhuan. She also agreed to the family early. After thinking about it, Liu Qing, who was worried that no one would pass on the family line, came up with a bad idea. His old friend Xue Gui died early, leaving behind a young son, and was determined to be his son-in-law.
Why not take this opportunity to recruit him as his son-in-law? Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to let him change his surname to the Chengliu family?
So this person often helped Xue Li in difficulty, which prevented the young Xue Li from starving to death, and even had the opportunity to study hard and learn civil and military skills.
When Xue Li was seventeen years old, Liu Qing decided to fulfill his marriage agreement and marry his fifteen-year-old daughter to him. The Xue family had no elders in charge, so the father-in-law organized the marriage between the two.
On the wedding day, Xue Li showed her amazing appetite, which attracted the attention of the guests. Many people joked that the Liu family's son-in-law was a bucket of food, but Liu Qing didn't care. As the saying goes, being able to eat and being able to do it, and having a lot of food means being able to be great.
However, after the wedding, Liu Qing's fox tail appeared and proposed to change Xue Li's surname to Liu, inherit the incense of the Liu family, etc.
Xue Li is not stupid, so how could he do it? He thought that Liu Qing set up a trap to tie him up, and broke out after a disagreement.
Liu Qing was furious, but he was helpless. Thinking of his previous incense, he did not force him. In fact, Xue Li had great ability and forced him to do nothing.
Just so happen, you are banishing your family, not me, you can't blame me if you spread it out, Liu Qing secretly thought in his mind that this son-in-law was ungrateful and left, and he could just hire another real son-in-law to come. At this time, no one would gossip about the engagement.
But Liu Qing never expected that his always well-behaved and sensible daughter would elope with Xue Li?
That's right, the two newlywed young people ran out so proudly, and it was a big stir. Everyone in the county knew that by the time Liu Qing found the two again, his daughter was already pregnant.
So the Liu family became the laughing stock of Longmen County. Ordinary people thought that everyone was laughing at the Liu family's son-in-law as a bucket of money. The head of the Liu family was ashamed of remorse and failed to get married. Only a few insiders understood that Liu Qing, the old fox, had fallen into the hands of his biological daughter.
Almost five years have passed in a flash, and the grandson is almost four years old. Liu Qing, who still has no children, has a bad idea and abducted his grandson to change his surname to Liu, at least leave it for the Liu family. Of course, this matter must be done while Xue Li is away, otherwise the servants of the Liu family will not be able to do this.
In fact, Liu Qing was smart but was mistaken for being smart. If he discussed this matter with Xue Li, he would not force his son-in-law to change his surname and lower the standards, so that Xue Li would have more children in the future and choose one to inherit the Liu family's incense. Maybe Xue Li would agree.
But he was overly aggressive and a little greedy back then, and wanted Xue Li to change his surname to Liu directly. Who can do this?
Liu Qing, who was waiting for the butler to bring his grandson back in the house, asked someone to arrange the child's accommodation and guard the old mother early. He had already made up his mind and hid him after catching his grandson. He refused to admit his conscience with Xue Li. Even if the other party demolished the Liu family, there was nothing he could do if he could not find the child.
The plan did not change quickly. Who would have thought that the foolproof plan would make Du Shaoqing and his party meet. Half a day later, the housekeeper and the servant returned in a mess. Liu Qing asked, why did he get a good thing wrong by an irrelevant passerby?
"Master, that man claimed to be from Chang'an, he was also an imperial physician, and he had good martial arts skills. The young men could not beat him and were driven back. The man also said that he welcomed the Liu family to seek revenge." The butler reported in detail.
Liu Qing was confused when he heard this. The imperial doctor from Chang'an was related to the poor boy Xue Li. Isn't this a big deal? Moreover, the imperial doctor is also good at martial arts. It's even more nonsense. I've never heard of it. I'm afraid that the man was bluffing and scaring people. A group of friends had no knowledge and were coaxed back?
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Qing sighed, "Since the matter has not been done, Xue Li will definitely find out. It will be difficult to start again if you are prepared."
At this time, Captain Wang, who came to help, waved his hand and said proudly: "Why should Brother Liu be worried? This matter is covered by Wang. Seeing that I will leave myself and bring your grandson back intact. I wish that Xue Li would not dare to say a word."
"Well, Captain Wang, don't be careless. Xue Li's skill is extraordinary. My family used to send more than ten servants to stop him. It would be better to make a long-term plan." Liu Qing persuaded.
But the captain was also a hot-hearted person and said a little disdainfully: "That's your servants' waste. A group of people can't handle a woman and can't bring back a doll?
Xue Li is just a young man, and he can only make a living by farming. It’s not worth worrying. This is a martial art that has been fought on the battlefield. After taking Brother Liu’s money, he will naturally have to help you do something big. Let’s wait for a while and the family will go back."
Well, after saying that, Captain Wang strode out, and turned over and roared away. This man was so enthusiastic about doing things, not for anything else. He was afraid that he would delay a few more words. Liu Qing would have to take back the money and have a banquet for guests, so he would not be able to make this huge sum of money.
"Hurry, bring all the servants with you to Captain Wang, don't let their fight hurt the child." Liu Qing reminded anxiously, so the butler who had just returned had to set off again.
Du Shaoqing and others had just finished the sumptuous wild boar banquet and were bored to enjoy the scenery of early spring in the mountains. Five guys lay directly on the big rock at the entrance of Xue Rengui's cave, and even recalled the past when everyone was king in the mountains.
Du Shaoqing held her daughter and coaxed her to take a nap in her arms. Young Master Cui Hao talked to Xue Rengui about his past travels under the warm sun. His wife Liu guarded her injured son and napped in the cave. Everything was so harmonious and quiet.
According to Du Shaoqing, because of Xue Dingshan's illness, everyone had to stay in the Xue family for more than ten days until the child could leave the person.
