Chapter 11: Exclusively published by Jin-Jiang Literature City
These people said Li Siyuan was their friend? And you praise Li Siyuan as a good person?
This made those guests who still had original prejudices against Si Yuan or were confused by Li Si Yuan's reputation as a playboy feel unbelievable.
What kind of person is this Mr. Li San? That is a person with a reputation as a playboy and prodigal!
When he was still in the uncle's house in Jingyuan, he couldn't make a name for himself in school. He took the money from the uncle's house and used the sign of the uncle's house to hang out with friends every day. The friends he hung out with were all dandies from various families. . After the separation of Uncle Jingyuan's Mansion, it is said that Mr. Li San went to the casino and almost lost all the family property he received. Although he later won back the gambling money, he didn't know how, but regardless of winning or losing, a man who is addicted to gambling People are definitely not a good thing.
The prejudice in people's hearts is a big mountain, so these guests cannot understand what is going on with those who treat Si Yuan with courtesy and respect.
And those people who were polite and respectful to Si Yuan never mentioned why they admired Si Yuan. They just vaguely said that Young Master Li San was a good person and worth getting to know. They did not mention the specific reasons, leaving people with all kinds of speculations. reason.
After all, as long as they know how powerful Mr. Li is, the fewer other people know about it, the better. Otherwise, if there are too many competitors, wouldn’t it be difficult for them to show their face in front of Mr. Li?
When there was an undercurrent among the guests in the front yard, Si Yuan took Yu Yan and Xiao Changqing to the backyard to pay homage to Mother Li, the birthday girl.
Now, not only Siyuan's family of three have returned to Uncle Jingyuan's Mansion, but also other married sisters and brothers who have separated.
Si Yuan finally met here the original protagonist's concubine brother, the original male protagonist's father Li Jingyuan.
Li Jingyuan was accompanied by a woman with a beautiful appearance and a gentle temperament, who was his wife Tan. Tan was holding a little boy who looked about four or five years old, who should be Li Jingyuan and Tan's eldest son, who was in the original plot. The male protagonist Li Changwen heard about it.
In the original plot, Li Changwen was only a few months younger than Li Changqing. He was born when his father was taking the imperial examination in high school and became an official. By the time he grew up and could take the imperial examination, his father Li Jingyuan was already a high-ranking third-rank official in the court. , is his solid backer.
Si Yuan saw the male protagonist's family of three and pulled out the original owner's memories of Li Jingyuan from his mind.
Well, fine, not much memory.
Because before the separation of the family, the original owner could only see his eldest brother who was over his head. As for the concubine brothers, he didn't like any of them. Even his concubine brother Li Jingyuan, who was said to be very good at reading, he didn't let go. In the eyes.
Different from the long-term vision of the old Jing Yuanbo, he knew that his family had no title, but it was actually in decline. No one was in charge of real power in the court, so he forced his children to study and make progress, in an attempt to join the imperial examination and join the civil service group.
The original owner was short-sighted and believed that their family was an Earl's Palace and had a title inheritance. Most of the Jinshi in the imperial examination high school were seventh-rank officials, and it was difficult to be promoted for many years. Maybe they would only be fifth-rank officials until they reached the official position, and a fifth-rank official They are not even qualified to enter Jingyuan Bo's house. Why do they, the children of the Earl's Palace, compete with those children from poor families for the single-plank bridge of the imperial examination? Wouldn't it be easier to find a way to compete for the title at home?
It’s just that the original owner never thought that it would be difficult for a child from a poor family to become a Jinshi, and it would be difficult to be promoted to an official. But for a child from the Earl’s Palace to be a Jinshi, with the help of the connections and resources of the Earl’s Palace, the difficulty of rising to the top would be much reduced. degree?
The original owner didn't like studying in the past. At most, he saw that old Jing Yuanbo liked his children to study, so he pretended to please his father and had no hope of passing the Jinshi examination.
The original owner didn't even bother to be jealous of Li Jingyuan, a concubine who could study. He only focused on his eldest brother who would inherit the title. All he could think about was, 'If there is no eldest brother, I, the legitimate son, will inherit the title.'
Fortunately, the original owner was jealous of Li Chengyuan, but never dared to show it. This was due to the fact that Uncle Jing Yuan had established Li Chengyuan's heir status early and let the original owner know that if he showed his covetousness for the title, his father would definitely be the first. Take care of yourself.
Si Yuan wanted to see the original owner's past attitude towards Li Jingyuan so that he could decide how to treat Li Jingyuan in the future. Unexpectedly, he found many memories of the original owner's foolish childhood.
To sum up the character of the original owner, he was thief-minded but not courageous, jealous but unmotivated. He could only blame others in a dark way and never think about how to change his destiny.
It's no wonder that Li Changqing was reduced to cannon fodder when he had such a dragging father. If he wanted to advance, he could only ignore his talents.
Various thoughts were running through Si Yuan's mind. With a cynical smile on his face, he first led his wife and children to congratulate Li's mother on her birthday: "I wish my mother will be as blessed as the East China Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains!"
Then I focused on Li Jingyuan's family, especially the original male protagonist Li Changwen, who is about the same age as Xiao Changqing.
Si Yuan smiled and said to Li Jingyuan: "These two children are about the same age, so why not let them play by themselves? Xiao Changqing has no playmates of the same age until now. He happens to be his brother, so he can play together." go."
Li Jingyuan glanced at Si Yuan in surprise, wondering why his brother-in-law, who always looked down on them as concubines, became polite to him.
However, he didn't have any objections to letting his son play with Li Siyuan's son. After all, they didn't play together every day for a long time, and he wasn't afraid that his son would be led astray. But rejecting Li Siyuan for such a trivial matter made his aunt's mother unhappy with him. It's not worth it. After all, his next transfer will require the efforts of his eldest brother.
So Li Jingyuan smiled politely at Si Yuan and nodded, and said, "The third brother is right." He slightly lowered his head and looked at his son Li Changwen who was standing beside him, "Changwen, go play with your brother Changqing. , but don’t run too far, you can only play in the yard.”
It was also the first time for Li Changwen to have playmates of his own age. He was looking curiously at Xiao Changqing next to Yu Yan. When he heard his father's words, he looked up and looked at his mother again.
Mrs. Tan smiled gently at him and gently pushed his back: "Go ahead."
Then Li Changwen walked towards Xiao Changqing.
When Xiao Changqing saw Li Changwen walking towards him, he immediately happily let go of Yu Yan's hand and walked towards Li Changwen: "Mom, dad, I'm going out to play with this little brother!"
Si Yuan smiled fondly at him and said, "Go ahead, go ahead, but don't forget the time while having fun."
"I know, Dad!" Xiao Changqing had already happily pulled Li Changwen and ran out.
At this time, everyone in the room looked at Si Yuan with shocked eyes, because Xiao Changqing actually called him and Yu Yan 'father and mother'.
In a wealthy family, if the rules are strict, the children in the family will respectfully call their parents "father and mother".
The terms "father" and "mother" are considered affectionate terms, but in the eyes of these nobles, they are not polite enough. Only those families with irregular rules would educate their children in this way.
That's why everyone else was so surprised by Xiao Changqing's title.
Mother Li also frowned slightly and advised Si Yuan: "This child, Chang Qing, is smart and clever. You have to teach him well, as this child calls you..."
Si Yuan interrupted Mother Li's words and said calmly: "My wife and I both like Xiao Changqing to call us this way. Only when we call us daddy and mommy can we get closer. I don't want my son to call me father respectfully and distantly. It's like a subordinate has no feeling of deep father-son affection for a superior. So, mother, I don't need you to worry about this trivial matter in our family. Today you are the birthday boy, and I'm happily waiting for everyone to come and wish you a birthday. That’s good.”
Mother Li was stunned for a moment. As she got older, she had indeed become a lot softer. She heard Si Yuan's distant "Mother" to her, and compared it with Xiao Changqing's affectionate "Mother" to Yu Yan just now. Auntie, the feeling of distance and distance is indeed clear.
Mother Li was speechless and could only sigh slightly.
Mother Li sighed in her heart, and the other married women with children sitting in the room couldn't help but fell into deep thought. Only Li Jingyuan was still thinking indifferently: Li Siyuan really still has this willful and reckless character, and he always used to do it. Talking about the rules of concubines, looking down on them as concubines, and now they are so unruly in disciplining their children. Sure enough, after the separation of the family, they became white and became unruly. I have to take this as a warning...
Li Jingyuan thought that his third brother, who had always been proud of his legitimate son, was still a white man, but he was already an official. He couldn't help but feel that he, the concubine, had an advantage over his third brother, the legitimate son. He couldn't help but use words that appeared to be admonitions but were actually showing off. He said to Si Yuan in a tone of voice: "Third brother, although your family has separated, you are still a child of the Earl's Mansion after all. You still have to pay attention to the rules. The child is still young and cannot be misled..."
Si Yuan rolled his eyes impatiently: "How do I educate my children? It's none of your business? Mind your own business!" He directly implemented the character of the original owner and did not give any face to Li Jingyuan, as if he was still the one who was not favored in the Earl's Mansion. The bastard whom Li Siyuan looked down upon.
Li Jingyuan suddenly stopped talking with an ugly face, took a deep breath, and said with humiliation: "I overstepped, third brother, don't take offense."
Si Yuan snorted coldly and ignored him at all.
At this time, Xiao Changqing took Li Changwen and ran to the small garden outside. Xiao Changqing asked Li Changwen: "What do you want to play?"
Li Changwen didn't understand, so he looked at Xiao Changqing with a blank expression. What are you playing at? Is it okay to recite poems?
Li Changwen, who was taught by his parents to study hard and not be playful since childhood, didn't know how to play at all.
Seeing his confused expression, Xiao Changqing sighed in a mature manner: "You are so pathetic, you can't even play. Let me teach you."
Then he pulled Li Changwen to play the little games Si Yuan had taught him.
Si Yuan, who was sitting in the room, heard the system's announcement: [The task progress bar has moved! 】
