"I didn't say it! But Uncle Hua, I just need Atai and Zhou Zi by my side."
Li Qinghua, who had prepared a lot of things to say, did not expect Xie Yanzhi to refuse so decisively.
Not wanting to give him the feeling that he was being forced into someone just because he was a member of Yuan Niang's tribe, Li Qinghua could only hold back what he wanted to say.
He planned to talk to Li Yuan later and ask her to agree to take a few people away.
If not for anything else, but for herself, she must take it.
This time, she didn't need to bring Huang Xing and Er Gen, just her second brother and his family.
Ruizi has a quick mind. Even though the child is less than one year old, the advantage is that his wife is very capable.
What's more, there is Qingwei here. When the time comes, he will be with his uncle. His uncle can also give him some guidance in his studies.
If Duozi was not the eldest son and grandson, he would have wanted Duozi to go.
Mainly because she is Duozi's daughter-in-law, Yuan Niang can save a lot of trouble by having her help take care of the house together.
Besides, that girl Li Miao is not young anymore. If she stays with her aunt, it will be easier to talk about the marriage in the future.
If they marry into a promising family, their Li family will reach a higher level!
Li Yuan didn't know Li Qinghua's inner plan. She was busy dealing with the family members brought by the wealthy gentry today, and she was very tired.
Looking at those people, some looked down upon her because she was from the countryside.
But I was worried that she would have to fawn over her because of her destiny, so I felt very happy.
What's wrong with being from a rural background? It's their turn to look up to them or not?
What's funny is that some people say that she doesn't even have a girl to take care of her, and then she drags her fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl to praise her.
She said overtly and covertly that her children knew etiquette, had good figures, were smart, talked well and were lovable, etc.
With her by your side, you won't lose face.
Heh, looking at her country background, I thought she didn’t understand anything and was easy to fool?
What about following her, serving her, and relieving her boredom?
It seems that she wants to serve her Brother Xie, so it would be better to serve Aunt Cheng, right?
When Xie Yanzhi returned to his room, he saw Li Yuan lying there motionless, and asked: "Mother Yuan, Uncle Hua asked me before, did my grandma tell me about how many clan members he would bring with him when he takes office?"
Li Yuan heard the words and looked sideways at him: "Brother Xie, what are you doing? Yesterday I told you, but I don't want Ergen, and I feel that if I have to bring someone with me, let Miaomiao follow. In this world, People always recognize their family background and where they grew up since childhood."
"I think that at Miaomiao's age, if she were with me, she would be able to marry better than if she were in Lijia'ao. If she were in Lijia'ao, I guess no matter how good she is, her marriage would be limited. "
Xie Yanzhi was stunned when he heard this and said: "I rejected Uncle Hua directly! If Yuan Niang, you want to take Miaomiao with you, do you also have to take the children from your two cousins' families? And then there are the children from your second brother's family. Where is Qingwei? Otherwise, if you only bring one, you will inevitably be accused of favoring one over the other."
Li Yuan immediately understood the meaning of Xie Yan's words.
She immediately expressed her position firmly: "Junzi himself is not stupid. If he makes up his mind to study, I think it will only take six or nine years at most. He will definitely be able to pass the exam. Over at the old house, we can't expect everything from us. . I brought Miaomiao because she is the oldest, people nowadays get engaged early and get married early, and the Lijiaao people don’t have much foundation, so I wanted to help."
"As for Qingwei's studies, he can just stay with his two uncles. As for Lin Niang and Shu Niang's daughters, they are younger than Caiwei. We will have excuses when the time comes. What's more, I don't even have my own children. Be around!"
Xie Yanzhi and Li Yuan are discussing this matter here, and Mrs. Wang and the people from the big house are also talking about this matter over there.
Unexpectedly, Li Miao refused directly after she finished speaking.
"Grandma, I won't go!"
Before Liu Mei even opened her mouth, Mrs. Ling asked: "Why don't you go? Miaomiao, you have to know that your eldest aunt is now Mrs. Gaoming. Your eldest uncle is very capable, and his official position will be higher and higher in a few years. You are with them." , there are only advantages and no disadvantages.”
Li Miao is already a grown-up girl. She had been with Caiwei for a long time before, and under her influence, she has become particularly assertive.
No one can change her decision not to go.
"Nai, I know everything you said. My aunt suggested that I stay with her for my own good, but I also have to think about her. This time she and her eldest uncle went to Dongfeng Mansion to take office. Even Caiwei and Qingsha If you don’t bring them with you, what’s the point of bringing me with you?”
"Besides, I've started here, what about our family in the future? When Yanyan grows up, will we have to follow him? And what about the cousins from the second aunt and the third aunt's family? If the eldest aunt disagrees, they will feel worried Aren’t you uncomfortable, thinking that Auntie looks down on them?”
Liu Mei was a little anxious and wanted to slap her.
"You kid, why do you think so much and don't have anything? If you are asked to go, you go. Tomorrow's mother will clean up for you, and ask your father to go to the Yamen and arrange a road guide for you. Then you will be obedient. Follow. There is no one around your aunt. If you stay by her side, she will be close to you from now on, and you can follow me to see the world and learn some skills."
"I won't go, and it's useless no matter what you say. If you force me, then I will go back to Xinyang Mansion by myself. Anyway, then I will say that the road has been diverted, and then pretend to be my eldest uncle, and say that I know him Miss Su family, I don’t believe you can’t go back. As for the place to live, that’s simple, I can live at Xie’s house in Juren Lane.”
Mrs. Wang and others were shocked by Li Miao's words.
After a while, Mrs. Wang glanced at Ling and Liu Mei, who hated iron, sighed, looked at Li Miao and asked, "Don't you regret it?"
"Grandma, I know there is no such store after passing through this village, but I don't regret it. It's good for me here, and our clan will get better and better in the future. I don't want my aunt's house to be better, we always In the name of doing her best, I ask for this and that. If my aunt really wants to make a request, she will make it herself."
It can be said that all the people present were over thirty years old, and their faces were burning with Li Miao's words.
They are indeed like this. Every time they make a request, they think it is for Yuan Niang's good.
Now that Miaomiao said it, this made them feel that they had gone too far and stretched their hands too long.
It's just that Shao'an loves Yuanniang and loves his house and Wu, so it doesn't matter.
If they go too far, the couple may become separated.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang said to the others: "Miaomiao is right! We have already benefited a lot from Shao'an, and we can't continue. Otherwise, one day, Shao'an will also have opinions. What should I do if I get angry with Yuanniang?"
Li Miao smiled happily after hearing her mother-in-law's words.
"That's how it is! If it weren't for my eldest uncle, how could my third and fourth uncles be able to pass the examination and study in the capital? And our family, our Lijia'ao can be as good as it is now? We can be content as human beings. , you can’t just think about yourself, and then make demands in the name of your good. Grandma, grandma, and mother, do you know what your behavior is called? "
