"Sui Sui, don't be ridiculous! It's not dark yet. When we turn around, it will be dark and the road will be even harder to walk. I'm going to leave Zhou Ping in the county academy for the night before leaving." Li Changan pulled Li Qiusui for convenience Little braids.
Li Qiusui was angry, "Don't pull my pigtails, don't let me pull you down, you are more verbose than my parents."
He is also thinking of taking Li Sizhu to the county town to scare him and teach him a lesson. If you have such a temper, you may cause trouble for you again one day in the future.
But her fourth brother is really not as easy to fool as her elder brother and second brother!
It's a bit late today. I can always try to go to the county town an hour early.
Li Qiusui glanced at Li Sizhu from time to time with ill intentions.
Li Sizhu didn't understand what he meant, and followed Li Changan and persuaded him nicely: "Sui Sui, your fourth brother is right, you, a little girl, can't go out after dark. Is there no one to play with you? Go there. Look for the palm beads... Oh, by the way, which one of you is the elder sister and which one is the younger sister? I remember that they should be about the same age, so we can play together."
Li Qiusui sighed in his heart, this is the kind of person! He cherished every junior in the family, but he felt like he couldn't get enough of everything.
He loved his daughter so much that he even named her after the apple of his eye. When facing nieces and nephews, I don't act like my elders. If I feel I'm wrong, I won't be ambiguous and admit my mistake directly.
In this way, he is really a good father and a good uncle, but it does not prevent him from remembering who is older and younger between his daughter and niece.
It makes people angry but they have nowhere to start.
Li Chang'an saw that Li Qiu Sui was frustrated and was angry because he thought he would not be able to go to the county town. He had a good temper and coaxed him: "Be good, stay at home and listen to your parents. When Xiu Mu next time, you can go to the county town to pick me up in advance, and you can still go to the daughter's house." Sir, I'm looking for Miss Chu to play with. By the way, I'll take you around the county town and buy some silk flower jewelry or something. If you're hungry, go to a restaurant for a good meal. I'll take you home after you've enjoyed yourself."
Li Qiu Sui couldn't help but roll her eyes when her three-year-old child coaxed her, but that was not what she cared about.
"Miss Little Chu went to the female gentleman's house again? Two days ago, my mother asked Miss Da Chu if she was okay... Hey! It will take half a month before you can take a bath. Don't you want to go back to your home?"
"No, there seems to be something going on this time. I heard that I will stay here for a while. You can ask more details after you meet."
Li Qiusui also wanted to ask how his fourth brother knew so clearly. The more he talked, the more he talked. Seeing that it was getting late, he urged people to leave quickly.
After seeing his fourth brother off, Li Qiusui went to his parents' house.
She came back early in the afternoon, and wanted to hear from her father what would happen next.
They account for almost one-third of the Li clan's population. Should they elect a new clan leader next? Who to choose is a big question.
Li Sanzhu and Liu were also talking about this matter, "According to the wishes of my father and Uncle Guangcheng, we will not choose a new clan leader for the time being. If something happens, we will discuss it with a few elders and make a decision first."
In fact, the candidate for the patriarch is basically determined to come from the families of Li Guangmao and Li Guangcheng. The Guangzi generation is getting older, so let’s look at Li Sanzhu’s generation.
Li Dazhu is the eldest son. Although he is frail, he has helped Li Sanzhu welcome and deal with all kinds of people in the past two years, which can be regarded as a training.
Li Guangcheng's eldest son is Li Changgen's father. He is a down-to-earth and honest man, the kind of person who can only work hard and find it difficult to say a word.
Li Guangcheng suggested that Li Dazhu should be the clan leader directly. Li Guangmao refused because he was still too young and did not want the clan leader to make any big decisions for the time being. If something happened, their elder brothers discussed it and decided to do it.
No one in their family wants to be the clan leader for any benefit. On the contrary, they dislike the clan leader because he has too many things to do. They look for him from this family now and from that family tomorrow. He seems to have a high reputation, but he delays his own business.
"That's good. We're not a difficult family to deal with here. No one takes the initiative to cause trouble for us. We just need to take care of our own families." Mrs. Liu saw Li Qiu Sui coming and asked, "How about your fourth brother?" Is it already? Did Butler Zhou send it to him personally? Tell him to hurry up and don’t delay until now!”
With so many things happening at home, and without knowing the outcome, who can leave with peace of mind?
Li Qiu Sui spoke for Li Chang'an, "I'm familiar with the up and down road to the county town. It's dark and there are no people in our area. There are still people working in the fields. When it gets completely dark, it's time to arrive at the county town. . Fourth brother said that I will stay with Butler Zhou in the county town tonight, so there is nothing to worry about."
Li Qiusui's mind was racing, and he thought of a way to go to the county seat in a flash, "Mom, I heard from my fourth brother that Miss Chu went to his husband's house again. This time, the sisters didn't know she was at their aunt's house. How long can you stay? I want to visit Miss Xiao Chu in two days. Do you and your sister want to go to the county seat together? "
Mrs. Liu's heart was moved, she wanted to see the two Chu girls, in fact they were the big Chu girls, and she had other purposes. It would be better for Mrs. Cheng to inform her first. She can't go to see this girl rashly.
Furthermore, regarding the matter of sect division, I couldn’t leave my side for three or two days.
"I'm not free these two days. How many days can the two Chu girls stay at their aunt's house? When are you going to go?"
Li Qiu Sui narrowed his eyes and smiled, "We'll go tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. My fourth brother didn't say how many days they can stay. I'll ask after I meet Miss Xiao Chu."
Tomorrow the yellow manager from the gambling shop should also come to visit! Just let them help with something. Do you really think that if you smashed the casino and won thousands of taels of silver, that would be the end of it?
Li Qiusui raised his eyebrows, and then he patted his forehead and remembered something, "By the way, mother, I forgot to ask. Why did you ask me if I liked Miss Da Chu that day?"
"What are you doing, little girl, asking all these questions? It's okay. Go back to your room to embroider. Fortunately, your sister learned her embroidery from you. Now she has surpassed you, right? How long has it been since you touched a needlework basket? Already?"
Li Qiusui stared, what did she ask about? I just suddenly remembered and asked casually!
"How dare you stare at me! You need to clean up, don't you?"
Li Qiusui walked out. Her mother was only in her early thirties. She checked her pulse and it was normal. Otherwise, she would really doubt that she was at that stage.
Huh? No, she asked Da Chu girl, why did her mother react so violently?
Li Qiu Sui thought about the incident carefully from beginning to end, and went to meet his elder brother Li Changshan. "Sui Sui, what are you thinking about? Be careful when you walk!"
Li Qiusui came back to his senses and saw that his eldest brother suddenly realized something.
He looked up and down at the seventeen-year-old Li Changshan, who was still in his prime. He was wearing a blue cotton knee-length gown, his face was like a crown jewel, and he was elegant and charming. To that station, a group of jade trees stand in the wind, a true display of talent!
Li Qiusui tilted his head and said with a sly smile: "I was wondering, when will eldest brother come back to marry us a sister-in-law?"
Li Changshan raised his hand and gently gave her a slap in the face, and said with a smile: "If you dare to be too big or small, I'll call my mother to deal with you."
Li Qiu Sui hurriedly handed over his hands and bowed solemnly to apologize, "My little sister made a mistake. I don't dare to do it again. Big Brother, please forgive me!"
Li Changshan hummed with a smile in his eyes, and played tricks with her: "If you know your mistakes and you can correct them, there is no greater good. I will let you go today. If you do it again, you will not be leniently punished!"
Li Qiusui straightened his face and reluctantly performed the blessing ceremony in a decent manner. When they got up, the brother and sister could no longer hold back and looked at each other and laughed.
The time that the family spends together is warm and comfortable. However, everything does not go as smoothly as Li Qiusui planned.
On the third day she went to the county town, the gambling shop, or to be precise, Manager Huang did not come to her door.
