Chapter 237 Confirmation
The suburbs of Shangyong County.
Li Ji is picking mushrooms in the forest with his two younger sisters.
It has been raining non-stop for the past few days, but it is rare that the sun cleared today. Li Ji took his two younger sisters into the forest early in the morning. All three of them carried bamboo baskets, and held a basket in their hands.
In the past, the young masters and ladies of the noble families in the capital city, now, for the sake of making a living, follow the locals to identify a lot of edible mushrooms, and give some supplements to the family from time to time.
"I didn't expect to pick so much in just one morning."
Li Mingjin was very happy to see that the back baskets of the three brothers and sisters were almost full.
The youngest, Ming Yue, nodded happily. She really likes picking mushrooms.
The days of living in the high-walled compound in the capital city in the past have gradually become blurred. Although I live a life of simple food and drink, the sky is high and the clouds are wide, and the whole family is there. It is also very happy to be able to run and dance in the wilderness on all sides every day.
Seeing that the two younger sisters were happy, Li Ji also smiled, and seeing that the baskets were full, he said, "Then let's go home."
As soon as the three brothers and sisters came out of the forest, they were stopped by several people.
Ming Jin took a closer look, and hid behind Li Ji in fright, trembling. Ming Yue also swished to hide behind her elder brother.
Li Ji opened his arms to protect the two younger sisters, and also blocked the other party's hand extended to the two younger sisters.
"Xiang Ergui, what are you doing?" He looked at Xiang Ergui and the others with disgust on his face.
Xiang Ergui looked at the trembling sisters and laughed loudly: "Why don't I do anything. My brother misses his little lady, so I'll take him to see her."
Xiang Dafu on the side, drooling, smirked at Li Mingjin, yelled "little lady, little lady", and was about to walk towards Mingjin.
Li Mingjin and Ming Yue screamed in fright: "Don't come here, don't come here!"
Li Ji protected the two younger sisters and retreated into the woods: "Xiang Ergui, shut up! Who is your little lady? If you talk nonsense, I will tear your mouth off!"
"Where am I talking nonsense, didn't my aunts come to my cousin to say goodbye? My cousin has taken a fancy to your Mingjin. You said that your family has been exiled here, and you will be sinners all your life. Marrying If you give it to my brother, you will become a good citizen. What's wrong? My family has a lot of land, and your family can eat and drink spicy food along with it."
"My sister is still young, so she won't marry! Marry whoever wants to marry!"
"Not too young, this age is just right, I have been raised at home for a few years, I just got to know my family well, and I have learned to take care of my cousin. It is just right when I grow up and consummate the house in a few years."
"Bah, don't talk nonsense. Whoever wants to marry, my family doesn't agree!"
"He said his family didn't agree?"
Xiang Ergui and the servants who followed him laughed loudly, and the stupid Xiang Dafu was also drooling and giggling.
"Let's go, let's go." Seeing that Ming Jin was shaking badly, Li Ji wanted to pull her away, but was stopped by Xiang Ergui and his servants.
Ming Yue was so frightened that she yelled: "Big Brother, Second Brother, come quickly!" Her voice was hoarse.
Li Zhi, who was chopping firewood in the woods, Li Xi scrambled down and ran down. Seeing his younger brother and sister surrounded by members of the Xiang family, he was furious.
Charged forward with a machete in hand.
"Xiang Ergui, what are you doing? Take your stupid brother away, or don't blame us for being rude!"
"You're welcome? You're welcome, what are you going to do? How dare you kill me?"
Li Xi was very impulsive, and took a step closer: "Do you think I dare not? My family is exiled here, and it will be like this. You are different. If I kill you, you can only go to **** and wait for reincarnation. Maybe it’s not good to reincarnate into the animal realm.”
"you!"
Li Xi wished he could hit him on the ground, but was held back by Li Zhi.
"What a mediocre person. Your cousin is just an aunt in someone else's house. Although my family is in trouble, you can find out if you inquire about it. There are still many old relatives in the capital of my family. It is not difficult to kill a Xiang family. If you don't believe it, you can try it. If you dare to try, the family your cousin married may not dare to try."
"Don't scare me, I haven't seen anyone coming from your capital. Besides, the distant water in the capital can't quench your thirst."
"Who says you can't quench your thirst, I'll beat you up today!" Li Xi jumped up and was about to rush forward.
Both sides were about to make a move, and that idiot Xiang Dafu also went to catch Mingjin with a smile, and Mingjin was so scared that he screamed again and again.
"Young Master Li! There is a letter from Beijing." Suddenly there was a voice like the sound of heaven.
Both parties turned their heads to look at it together, and Li Zhi saw that it was the shopkeeper Bai of Jixiang Pharmacy, his eyes lit up. Li Xi and the others couldn't bear the surprise in their hearts, and ran towards him.
"Is it a letter from Beijing?"
"Yes. A large package of things was sent along with the letter, let's take it back and show it to your grandparents."
"Okay. Let's go now. Thank you, shopkeeper Bai, thank you, shopkeeper Bai!"
"It's easy to do. Since I see you here, I won't go to your house. Your grandfather taught my son's homework. He has improved a lot these days. Next time, I will bring him to thank your grandfather."
After the shopkeeper Bai finished speaking, he glanced at Xiang Ergui, turned and left.
"Master, don't we chase after?"
"I heard that the auspicious pharmacy has a lot of background. Forget it, let's go home first." Xiang Ergui took his cousin who was yelling at Mingjin, and went home with all the servants.
Li Zhi and others held back their excitement and called Ma Shi and others who were working in the field home.
Except for Li Dianshou brother who served on the dam, the whole family gathered together in the house, looking at the big package from Beijing, and did not dare to do anything.
After a long while, Li Shimian opened the letter with trembling hands.
After he finished reading the letter, he burst into tears: "God bless my Li family, God bless my son!"
Ma Shi, who leaned over to read the letter, couldn't help crying, and collapsed on the ground: "My son..."
It was dark, and Li Dianshou and Li Dianzang, who dragged their tired bodies back home, couldn't believe it when they heard the news.
The two brothers read and read the letter, scrambling words and sentences, and asked the old parents beside them: "Dad and mother, are you sure that the letter was written by Sister Ning? Did this... sister give birth to a son? I asked last time, and my sister's womb Your baby hasn't been born yet?"
"According to the news, it was said that Sister Ning missed her mother too much, so she went with her." Mrs. Ma glared at the two stupid sons.
this…
"Look in this letter, the aunt who was born prematurely in January, isn't she referring to your sister? Calculated according to the number of days, when our family was exiled, Xinrou had already given birth to my grandson for about ten days. "
"Why didn't Sister Ning's nanny say anything?"
"At that time, I couldn't even say a word. I can still say this."
Li Shimian finally had a smile on his face since he was exiled: "I confirmed with your mother, it is sister Ning's name. According to the letter, her siblings should have been adopted by fishermen."
"But why? Even if my sister is afraid that my sister will delay my sister... Zhang Fu's future, but the child is the flesh and blood of the Zhang family?"
Li Shimian snorted: "It's not only Zhang Fu's future, there is another one in the Zhang family palace. The three sons of the Zhang family are not short of flesh and blood."
Sitting aside, Mrs. Ma wiped away tears: "Poor my sister Ning, at such a young age, her mother is gone, and she was abandoned by her father's family. How difficult it must be." Sobbing and crying.
