057 Conspiracy Failed
Li Changle stared at her with a cold look: "I won't let you go."
Li Weiyang was relieved: "Sister, it's uncomfortable if you take a breather. You are so weak and incompetent. You must cherish yourself in the future. Don't let your father and mother worry about you."
After saying that, Li Weiyang actually took Bai Zhiyang away.
The gift list given by the emperor was very long, and the eldest lady couldn't help but squeeze the hand tightly while holding the list.
"Master, are there too many?" On the surface, the eldest lady was very surprised by such a long gift list.
"This is the reward His Majesty gave Wei Yang." Li Xiaoran knew why the eldest lady said this, because the gold, silver and jewelry here were far more precious than the dowry that the eldest lady married back then.
"Master, this is given to the Li family by Your Majesty." The eldest lady looked at the list and said word by word. She couldn't watch Li Weiyang get such great benefits.
"Madam, this reward was explained by Your Majesty to Weiyang. If you don't give it to her, it will be very unpleasant to spread it outside." Li Xiaoran said slowly: "Our Li family cannot afford to lose that person."
The eldest lady thought about it and replied: "Master, the expenses in the mansion this year are very high. The second and third bedrooms are all consuming the money from the public. In addition, the expenses for the Chinese New Year and the holidays are coming and going, in order to make everyone live in a good manner, I even supplemented my dowry. You have always been honest and never accepted the offerings of the ministers. If you have this money, we will be much more relaxed. What's more, Minfeng is about to discuss marriage, and there are three sisters under Changle, and their dowry will be glorious in the future--"
Li Xiaoran was a little embarrassed. It was indeed not easy to maintain such a large family. He subconsciously chose to ignore the income of the Li family's countless shops and farms. Like the eldest lady, in his subconscious, he was unwilling to hand over so much gold, silver and jewelry to Weiyang, not to mention that he could feel the rebelliousness of this child in his bones. This violated his authority as a parent, and he felt offended. Then, Weiyang should have learned a lesson.
So he nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll go and talk to the old lady."
Generally speaking, the old lady would follow Li Xiaoran's opinion, so the eldest lady couldn't help but smiled with satisfaction when she heard this answer.
Hexiangyuan
In the afternoon, the sky was still clear, and snow beads fell again in the evening, and it rustled on the glazed tiles. The snow sound was dense and urgent. After a while, the house had been covered with a thin layer of light white. Li Xiaoran looked at the sky, frowned and entered the room. The old lady was wearing a lotus green embroidered satin robe, leaning against the big red Xiang embroidered Fu pillow, and was sitting on the couch chanting.
"You said you would add the gifts given by Your Majesty to the Duke?" After hearing what he said, the old lady twisted the Buddhist beads and sneered: "The imperial edict is clearly written. These things are given to Weiyang. Now they are worshipped in the ancestral hall. I don't need to ask someone to read them again for you."
"Of course I know this, but Madam..." Li Xiaoran didn't expect that the old lady suddenly changed her face, and she suddenly turned red and couldn't speak.
"I feel relieved to deal with government affairs on weekdays, but I am too indulged in the women in the back house. Weiyang is also your daughter. Although she is a concubine, in my opinion, she is not inferior to your eldest daughter. You should just let your heart go."
Li Xiaoran frowned unconsciously: "How to compare Weiyang and Changle--"
"How to compare? Changle is not the one who helps His Majesty give you an idea to share your worries. You have to think clearly!" The old lady reminded him.
Li Xiaoran's expression was a little bad, and he obviously couldn't listen.
The old lady snorted coldly and said, "I know that Changle is your first daughter, and she is beautiful and beautiful. Both you and Jiang have placed great hopes on her. But I have never agreed. First, our Li family is a very powerful minister, so there is no need to focus on getting to the phoenix and dragon grandson. Second, Changle is too arrogant and may not cause disaster. If the position of the prince is stable, these two things are okay, but judging from the current situation, the princes are not fuel-efficient, and we may not have a good result when we get involved. Moreover, after this incident, Changle's reputation in Kyoto is a mess. If you think you can climb to the back with a beautiful face, you are going to bake our Li family on a oil pan."
The old lady said these words before. This is why she has never liked Li Changle very much. Too beautiful and arrogant may not be the blessing of the Li family.
"What is your current status? Every step you move is like walking on thin ice..." The old lady seemed to be muttering to herself, and seemed to be reminding him, "You may not know if you choose among the emperor's sons."
Li Xiaoran was stunned and became a little scared.
Is your own thoughts too hasty?
He couldn't help but nodded: "This matter can naturally be put on hold, but Weiyang--"
The old lady sighed: "Her words and deeds in the hall today must be recorded in history. Even if you don't think of the glory she asked for you, you must also care about the pen of the historian. Is our Li family short of that little money? Why do you have to do such a petty thing?"
The eldest lady must not refuse. Li Xiaoran felt that his temples were leaping and hurting again. But he did not dare to disobey the old lady's wishes, so he nodded and said, "Then let's follow the old lady."
In just half an hour, all the precious treasures in the warehouse were sent to Li Weiyang.
The old lady pulled her to her side and told her: "This is given to you by Your Majesty. You must take good care of it. Don't cheat others. Although you did this well, it was too eye-catching. If you don't have any good luck, you will cause death. If you don't ask for merit, you will be more cautious in doing things in the future. Do you remember?"
These are all heartfelt advice. Li Weiyang rarely receives the care of his grandmother, and his eyes are a little red.
The old lady smiled and patted her hands and said, "Silly child, the superiors are in heaven and hell in an instant. Today, I really scared my old bones. You are too brave and dare to be sloppy in front of His Majesty. However, filial piety is always right. With the title of the third-rank man, your mother's life will be much better."
"Thank you, old lady, for not blame." Li Weiyang stretched out his hands to hold the old lady's arm tightly, tears fell to the ground one by one, and a string of watermarks were leaked.
The mother Luo next to him quickly handed the veil and said with a smile: "Miss 3, stop crying, you are the richest lady in Kyoto now!"
Li Weiyang was stunned and then laughed.
Yes, half of the things given by the emperor were gold except those that could not be moved and could only be used as decorations. This would be more useful to her in the future!
The eldest lady quickly received a letter from Li Xiaoran. In anger, she turned around and went to Li Changle's Yanyu Pavilion. When she arrived in the yard, Sandangxiang hurriedly came out and stammered: "Madam, Miss... Miss is not feeling well-"
Li Xiaoran is going to hold a celebration banquet for Li Weiyang tonight, and all the dignitaries are coming, but Li Changle is sick at this time?! The eldest lady's face suddenly turned extremely cold. This is a useless thing!
