Returning to Before Husband’s Castration

Chapter 191 upstart

One year later, in the forty-three year of Jiajing, the twelfth lunar month, heavy snow flew. Every year is similar, every year is different, and some people have left this world forever.

Shichahai, Rizhongfang, Li Huangqin’s Residence.

Just after dawn, a carriage drove into this three-in-one house. When it reached the backyard, the carriage stopped, and there was a snoring sound from the carriage.

The snoring sound shook the sky and almost lifted the roof of the carriage.

The two young men knocked on the door of the car and whispered: “Outside the staff, I’m home, go to bed and sleep, it’s cold in the car, be careful of cold.”

After repeated knocking several times, the snoring in the car finally stopped. A middle-aged man wearing a fox fur came out of the carriage braving his waist. The young man hurriedly used an umbrella to block the wind and snow.

It was Li Wei, the father of Li Jiubao, the concubine of the Royal Palace.

The mother depends on the son and the father depends on the daughter. After Li Jiubao was named the concubine of Yuwangfu, her family could no longer live in slums like Machang Hutong.

Wang Yu bought the house and gave it to Li Wei and his son and daughter-in-law to live in. He also donated a vacant job as a foreigner to Li Wei and his son. From then on, he was no longer a commoner, and his family was decent.

Princess Yu assigned more than a dozen official slaves from the palace to serve Li Wei’s family. Li Wei and his son didn’t have to go out to be bricklayers, and lived a rich life of opening their mouths for food and reaching out for clothes.

As soon as Li tilesmiths became members of Li, they were the only surviving grandson’s grandfather and relatives of the royal family, so this house is commonly known as Li Huang’s house.

This year, Li Wei’s body shape changed from a shriveled wotou to a white-faced bun. The large fox fur couldn’t hide his blessed belly. When he got off the carriage, the stool under his feet creaked.

Li Wei told his servants, “There are so many babies in the car, all of them have moved in. I will take a little bit by myself and carry them into the warehouse.”

Nouveau riche like Li Wei have shallow eyelids. They used to be scared of poverty. They regarded money as very important. They always felt that the hands and feet of the workers were not clean. The keys to the warehouse and the cages were all in their possession, and even the warehouse had to be counted in person. , Affix the seal, and then feel relieved to be carried away.

Li Wei returned home. Li Dalang, who had been guarding his father all night, hurried to see his father. Li Wei hid as soon as he saw his son, “What are you doing so early? I haven’t washed it yet.”

“Father! Where did you go without going back all night?” Li Dalang stopped the way, leaning over and sniffing, “A smell of sweat, bad rouge, dry smoke, roasted meat–isn’t it? Play in the casino all night!”

In the past few years, Li Jiubao has given money to his brother Li Dalang to marry a daughter-in-law. His brother and his sister-in-law acted honestly, honestly be upstarts at home, kept a low profile, and never went out to cause trouble.

But after the outbreak of his father, Li Wei, the bad habits were hard to change. He forgot the promise he had made in the past to “never gamble anymore”, and went to the casino to re-emerge.

Li Jiubao often tells his brother-in-law to stare at his father and prevent him from going to the casino, but Li Dasao is a daughter-in-law, and Li Dalang is a son. It is not easy to force Li Wei to be tied to the house to guard against day and night. Li Wei often finds opportunities to slip away. Get out.

Li Wei is not good at female sex. Many officials who want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix want to marry his eldest daughter of Huanghua as a continuation. The matchmaker almost broke the threshold of Li Huang’s family house. Li Wei did not nod.

There is no wife, no concubine, and no bullying, doing evil, and even on holidays, Li Wei will ask his son and daughter-in-law to prepare generous gifts for the former neighbors in Machang Hutong, not forgetting the basics.

The ceremonies and weddings of the leaders, sent invitations, Li Wei would also pay the money to go to the banquet and drink, there is no emperor’s shelf, it is the Li tilemaker in the past.

Occasionally, the lodgers have something to ask for, and Li Wei can do everything he can to help each other and never shirk.

Except for the same, Li Wei is a perfect imperial relative-that is a gambling.

Even the name of his daughter Li Jiubao was obtained from the casino’s Pai Gow, and he couldn’t get rid of this bad gambling habit, not to mention that Li Wei now has the capital to go to the casino.

Li Wei is now a royal family member. Today is different. The casino people dare not let him lose too much, and sometimes they deliberately let him win a few games to stabilize this perennial “customer”.

Li Wei thought he was finally “transit”. It was his turn to be proud of the casino. At first, he just played a few hands and left. Later he won several times in a row. The gambling time became longer and longer, half an hour, an hour, midnight, and even One bet is all night.

Three years later, Li Wei’s gambling addiction relapsed and was out of control.

Last night, Li Wei went out to Machang Hutong in the name of wishing a neighbor’s birthday. Li Dalang had no doubts. Li Wei didn’t go home after the banquet. He diverted to the casino and gambled all night.

I originally planned to bet and go home until midnight, but I was lucky last night. Every time Li Wei said that he would not bet on this one. After winning, he would like to win one more time, and occasionally lose one time and want to win the last time. come back.

Li Wei is not quite able to stay up late at this age, but the people in the casino give free tea, mutton soup, broiled barbecue, eat and drink, and are extremely excited, unknowingly betting until dawn.

Li Wei was the big winner tonight. The carriage was filled with the money he won back, and the gamblers were so anxious to lose that they temporarily took it out as a bet.

Li Wei got in the carriage and went home, sitting on these treasures of money. The carriage swayed. He was very tired. He fell asleep in the carriage and dreamed of winning money.

Li Dalang blamed his father for his gambling addiction, and the spitting godfather in front of the church: “…The father took the side concubine’s words on his ears, how does his son explain to the side concubine? Now the side concubine is pregnant, he heard his father gamble all night, and he was very angry. What to do with fetal gas? Our Li family’s wealth and wealth lies in the belly of the concubine!”

Then he said: “Our craftsman family is already in a state of weakness, unable to help the concubine. The only thing we can do is not to hold back. How can my father be so confused and do this kind of thing during the pregnancy of the concubine!”

Li Wei was so scolded by his son that he could not lift his head, quickly opened the cage and changed the subject, “I didn’t lose any money, you see, this is what I won all night, silver bills, scattered silver and gold, and snuff. Pots and jade pendants. These are all transported to the warehouse, which is enough for our family to spend a year, and I am not enjoying them alone.”

Li Dalang didn’t even look at the cage. “Our family doesn’t lack money! What our family lacks is tranquility!”

Li Wei pulled the cage a few times and turned out a red silk cloth-wrapped thing, “You are the only one who cares about the concubine? I have forgotten my daughters and daughters? Look what this is?”

Li Wei uncovered the red silk cloth, and inside was a white jade statue of Guanyin sending children.

The jade is of high quality and the carving is perfect. The folds of Guanyin’s clothes are clear and lifelike, which is very valuable at first glance.

Li Wei carefully placed the statue of Guanyin on the incense table and put three incense sticks on it, “This statue was opened by a famous monk, and it is very effective. All pregnant women who worshipped this Guanyin gave birth to sons. In the evening, I bet all my capital. I made a desperate bet. It was so easy to win. I didn’t do it for myself, it was for the concubine’s birth to have a son. She had two sons next to her, and she was in the position of Prince Yu. It’s safe.”

Li Jiubao gave birth to a son on August 17 the year before. After a year, in August this year, Wei Caiwei diagnosed Li Jiubao with a heartbeat. Now the Prince Yu’s mansion can’t wait to treat Li Jiubao as a treasure.

Li Dalang dismissed, “What you get from a bet is good or bad, even if you win Jinshan Yinshan? If the father doesn’t listen to his son’s advice, the son really has no choice but to tell the concubine and ask the concubine to persuade the father personally. .”

“Don’t!” Li Wei hastened to hold his son, “The concubine has a big belly. I heard that this pregnancy is difficult. When I was pregnant, I vomited yellow water. It took five months to stop the vomiting. Other people became pregnant. She was fat, she was thin during pregnancy, and her fetal gas was unstable, but you ran to file a complaint, and the concubine was so angry that if she hurt her fetal gas and an accident happened, you would have harmed her!”

How dare Li Dalang take the responsibility of hurting the emperor’s heir, he stopped, stamped his feet and said, “It’s obviously my father who made a mistake, why should I blame me!”

Li Wei said: “If you don’t tell me, how does the side concubine know? I swear, this is the last time. I will never go to the casino again. I pray to the Buddha every day and pray that the side concubine will also be a man in one fell swoop. , Mother and child are safe.”

Seeing his father’s vows, Li Dalang was half-believing, “From today onwards, my father will stop going out and give me all social entertainment. If he has to go out, his son must follow by.”

Li Wei said: “It’s the end of this year. Prince Yu’s Mansion has given us a lot of things. Although we are not a serious Yue family, we can’t say that there is nothing at all. I plan to give this jade Guanyin to the empress, so that she often pays respects. , Give birth to a son.”

“You write a post and send it to Prince Yu’s Mansion, saying that I miss my concubine and want to see my daughter before. Of course, it would be better if I could take a look at Xiaohuangsun. See when the palace has time to make arrangements Let me know when I enter the palace.”

Li Jiubao sealed his concubine, but he was still a concubine. To enter the palace to see her, the maiden family must first obtain the consent of Princess Yu, the royal family.

Both Li Wei and Li Dalang were originally illiterate and illiterate. After becoming rich, Li Wei only wanted to gamble, not enterprising. Li Dalang is still a bit self-motivated. He invited his master to enlighten him. He knows a few words a little bit. Although he has no literary talent, he has no problem writing posts to welcome him.

Li Dalang said: “It’s normal for a father to see a concubine and a father-daughter family relationship. However, to see the little emperor grandson is not in accordance with etiquette. You are not a serious grandfather. The grandfather of the little emperor grandson is Princess Yu’s family. , What qualifications do you have to meet him? No, no, no.”

The little emperor grandson of Prince Yu’s mansion was over a year old, and Emperor Jiajing still did not give a name to the only little emperor grandson.

Li Wei murmured: “I haven’t seen Xiaohuangsun before.”

Li Dalang poured cold water again and again and said: “That’s the princess Yu who has a good temper and the side concubine has been keeping her duty in the palace, so you have seen it a few times. Don’t take exceptions as the norm, our Li family is still not popular in the eyes of the royal family.”

Li Dalang wrote a post, saying only that his father wanted to see the concubine, not the emperor’s grandson.

Princess Yu had set the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month. Li Wei arrived as scheduled and entered from the West Point Gate to Li Jiubao’s courtyard. She gave the newly acquired Jade Guanyin to her daughter as if offering treasures, and lied: “…This is to know that the concubine is pregnant. After that, I bought a piece of good jade, which was finished by a skilled craftsman, and asked the monk to open it. The most effective thing is that the side concubine pays a respect every day, and it will surely be able to win the man in one fell swoop, and the mother and child will be safe.”

Li Jiubao’s pregnancy was a bit bad. Wei Caiwei managed to keep it. She was very thin. She was only five months pregnant and her belly was just beginning to show her pregnancy. Wang Yu also prayed to God and worshipped Buddha for the baby, but she saved it later, Wang Yu. Both Li Jiubao and Li Jiubao felt that the Bodhisattva appeared, and now seeing the Jade Guanyin requested by Li Wei, it hit Li Jiubao’s heart.

Li Jiubao accepted the gift from his father and left his father for lunch.

Li Wei glanced at the door, “Little Emperor Sun is not here today.”

Li Jiubao said: “He has some coughing recently, and my health is not well, so the princess took him to the main courtyard to take care of him.”

Li Wei asked hurriedly, “Is Xiao Huangsun okay?”

Li Jiubao said, “It’s okay. Dr. Wei came to see and said that the room was too warm and dry in winter, and it was a little bit hot. He didn’t even need to take medicine. He stewed Sydney water for him to drink. The princess said that he was getting better, so she coughed twice at night. .”

Li Wei was relieved, had lunch, Li Jiubao sent him home, and Princess Yu also rewarded him with something.

Li Jiubao worshipped Jade Guanyin, praying every day for the smooth delivery of the child.

Two days later, on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Jiubao slept at night and felt itchy and unbearable. He woke up and lit a candle and looked at the mirror carefully. She was frightened: small pustules appeared on her body, translucent. Herpes had spread at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye, and it had spread to the neck, and the body started to become feverish.

With a snap, the mirror fell, and Li Jiubao quickly calmed down after panicking, “Quickly, invite Dr. Wei!”

The author has something to say: The timeline has been stretched for another year, the real murderer is about to pay the surface, and his revenge is about to begin. To be honest, there are really not many Wenfa box lunches in Zhou. Hu Shan, who thought about Zhou Zhou, would often die out when he was in a fight. Few people lived to the end. There are so many beautiful people in Dajin, who write about the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, the subjugated princess, and the garb of the South. In comparison, this person is the least literate, but it is too expensive.
