C99 (1/2)
One of the things that people like to talk about recently in Beijing is the private meeting between Ji Shaowen, the legitimate son of master Ji, a Bachelor of the Imperial Academy, and Li Yuanwai's wife in the east of the city. They are caught on the spot. Li Fu grabs young master Ji to the Ji's house for justice, and threatens to ask him to invade their Li family. Where is Ji's family willing? The two families were in all sorts of trouble.
Shen Jingli is sitting in the elegant room on the second floor of shijinxuan. He opens a window and looks at the busy street. The street is full of excitement. Everyone talks about the gossip of the Ji family and the Li family. The waiter brings tea to see Shen Jingli. He listens to the talk below and rubs his hands and says to Shen Jingli, ”my guest, are you also interested in Li's affairs?”
Shijinxuan is operated by Mu Chen and Xu Yanlin secretly. No one knows who is the boss behind the scenes of shijinxuan except the shopkeeper. Therefore, the bartender does not know that Shen Jingli is one of the bosses. He pours tea to Shen Jingli with a sincere smile, hoping to ask for more reward.
”Talk about it.” Shen Jingli showed interest and took out one or two silver coins and put them on the table.
Looking at the silver, the bartender's face was more smiling, and his tongue was bright. Even Mrs. Li's expression at Ji's door was very vivid.
The Li family press Ji Shaowen to the gate of Ji's house, saying that Ji Shaowen seduces and deceives her daughter and asks the Ji family to give an explanation. How can the Ji family recognize it? Naturally, it was refuted that their daughter was shameless and framed their son. The two ladies started to make trouble at the door. Finally, Mrs. Li put down her words and said that either let master Ji occupy their house, or she would go to report to the official to accuse him of luring good women. The Ji family was so legitimate. Where would he be allowed to enter the family, the two families would make all kinds of troubles.
If the conditions are different, Mrs. Li can't really ignore the reputation of a woman and go to the government to sue Ji Shaowen. If she does, how can her daughter get married in the future? So she went to Ji's house every day and spread rumors that were not good for Ji Shaowen. Ji Shaowen was a scholar and wanted to get fame in the future. If she got a bad reputation, she might not have been able to get the imperial examination all her life. Mrs. Ji had no choice but to agree to let Miss Li come in as your concubine.
Your concubine is still a concubine. She can't eat at the table, but she has to stand behind to serve her mistress. Where does Mrs. Li allow her daughter to suffer this kind of grievance, the two families failed to reach an agreement again, and made a quarrel again. After knowing this, Miss Han, Ji Shaowen's real wife, unexpectedly asked Miss Li out and beat her severely.
Li Fu was so popular that he went to Han's house to make trouble. He was about to be promoted to be a great doctor recently. He could not be implicated by this. He called his granddaughter back and taught her a lesson. He asked her granddaughter to agree with Miss Li's marriage.
”Then Mrs. Li is also a powerful person. The young master dare not go out this season for several days.” The bartender chuckled in a low voice. Mrs. Li was indeed a talented person. She paid for several street hooligans and squatted near Ji's house. When she saw Ji Shaowen appear, she rushed to beat him and was beaten once or twice. Ji Shaowen did not dare to go out again.
Ji Shaowen's meeting with Miss Li's family is known to all over the capital. If he doesn't handle it properly, his reputation will really be ruined, and he may even be deprived of his status as a scholar.
”It's quite lively.” Shen Jingli said lightly, in a flat tone, unable to tell what emotion it was.
as soon as Li Qi looked at him, he immediately threw one or two silver on the table to the bartender, ”OK, you can go down.”
The bartender was very happy to get the reward. He said thank you and left. As soon as he left, Li Qi sat down and poured a cup of tea for Shen Jingli and himself. He asked, ”madam, do you care about the affairs of the Ji family? Is it an acquaintance of the master
During these days, Wei Zuo ran to Zizhuyuan every day. Li Qi also heard some news. He knew that Shen Jingli was investigating Ji Shaowen, but he didn't understand why Shen Jingli investigated Ji Shaowen?
”What do you do with all this gossip? When are you and Ningxin going to open the snack shop? ” Changing the subject, Shen Jingli took a cup of tea and drank a cup of tea.
”It's under preparation. It should open next month.” It will soon be the Lantern Festival. When the third master, who is an official in other places, wants to come back, the Yang family has to do a lot of work. After the Lantern Festival, the master plans to move again. Things are always busy and he has to wait for next month.
However, thinking about this shop, Li Qi is not happy that he can get 20% dividends. With these dividends, if he wants to redeem his life and get married with a good family, his life will be guaranteed. When his mother is old, they may be able to buy a smaller house in Kyoto, be the master of their own house, or even hire a servant to wait on him.
SHEN Jingli can't help but say as he looks at Li Qi laughing ”You're not too young. If you have a happy person, I'll talk to you.”
Li Qi blushed and shook her head. ”I don't want to get married now.”
He was 18 years old. He said he didn't want to get married. Naturally, it was a fake. But he was almost robbed by the master in charge as a concubine, which caused his psychological shadow. It was inevitable that he would resist the marriage.
”You don't have to be under too much pressure. If someone asks me, I'd like to leave you for a few more years.” If you are unmarried at an old age, you are easy to be gossiped by others. Generally, if the servant marries, you need to get the consent of the master. If the master refuses, you can't get married. Others will only scold the master, but not think that the servant's virtue is bad.After hearing this, Li Qi almost burst into tears. She felt that Shen Jingli was the best hostess in the world. Shen Jingli didn't know that he was in Li Qi's heart again. At this time, Zhao Wenrui, who asked him to go out, knocked on the door and came in.
”Have you been waiting long?” Zhao Wenrui was sweating on his forehead and looked like he had just come back from 20 laps. ”No Shen Jingli raised his hand and motioned Li Qi to pour him tea.
Li Qi quickly stood up and poured him a cup of tea. He stood up behind Shen Jingli. After Zhao Wenrui sat down and drank a cup of tea, he began to say, ”I had some trouble on the way here, so it's a little late.”
