Delicate Flower Chapter 318: Self-recognition

After all, the Li family clan house is in charge of Li family affairs and must set an example for the entire clan. Although the clan was separated from the Li Duan family, at this time it was even more difficult to add insult to injury and provoke criticism. Knowing that Li Duan accompanied the Lin family back to his hometown, the clan leader took his eldest son to visit the Li family in person.

Without the help of the Li family to take care of it, the servants and wives of the Li Duan family had long ago taken away the Li family's belongings with ulterior motives, and those who stayed behind were all loyal servants. But such people are in the minority after all. The exquisite and gorgeous pavilions in the past are now covered with dust, showing a decadent scene.

The leader of the Li family could not help but sigh softly while standing in the yard.

It takes several generations of efforts for a family to thrive, but it only takes a blink of an eye for a family to fall.

He asked Li Duan: "Is there anything you need our help with?"

How could Li Duan have the nerve to ask the clan for help? Besides, the clan and his family's branch clan had a strange relationship back then. He had always suspected that someone was stirring up trouble, but later he was thinking about things in the capital and had no chance to verify it. . But at this time, it was even more difficult for him to verify - their family had fallen into decline. If it was confirmed that they were from his own clan, there was no guarantee that they would not alert the snake and provoke those who had ill intentions towards their family to take advantage of the situation and rob them. The family fell into a more difficult situation. If you are an outsider, you can guess at which families they are. Even when their family was at its peak, they would avoid those families, let alone now when it is difficult for their family to even protect themselves.

As his father said, now is not the time for reckoning. Only if he works hard to study and revive the family business can these accounts be properly settled.

Li Duan bowed respectfully to the clan elder and said in a low voice: "I can handle things at home for the time being. If I have any difficulties, I will ask you again. Can you come and see me at this time? We, we couldn't be more grateful."

After all, he is a master of civil engineering, so he might become rich one day.

The eldest son of the clan comforted Li Duan with a few words, and gave Li Duan a letter of silver: "It's a small personal gift from me. Just accept it. When you have it later, it won't be too late to pay it back to me."

Li Duan was really short of money and believed that the Li clan clan must have done something wrong to his family, so he accepted it with a few polite words.

The eldest son of the Li family clan took his son and left.

Mrs. Lin walked out of the hall, supported by the maid, and said: "Everything valuable in the house has been stolen. There are also some that the ancestors left behind to save lives. I have taken them out and packed them away."

The evening sun shone on her face, making the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows more obvious. Compared with when I left Lin'an, I am more than ten years older. My standing posture is no longer upright.

Li Duan stepped forward to help Mrs. Lin with some distress, and said warmly: "Mom, you don't have to worry about any of this, I'll just come. You have a good night's rest tonight, and we'll leave at dawn tomorrow."

We will not let more Lin'an people know that they have returned.

But Mrs. Lin didn’t want to stay for more than a quarter of an hour, and said: "We will leave overnight and spend the night on the boat. Have all these arrangements at home been made? Throw away what should be thrown away, and don’t be reluctant to part with it. In the face of disaster, money will be lost. It’s an external possession, and if you have a life, you can naturally earn it back.”

Her expression was colder than before.

Li Duan nodded and said: "I entrusted it all to Li Si. When something happened to our family, he even asked someone to bring twenty taels of silver to our family."

Li Si is a member of their Li family, a concubine. After he was separated, he became a Yaren by chance, and the Li family turned to him for some **** transactions.

Mrs. Lin nodded and said sternly: "Your uncle is really cruel. He didn't know how much he had done to our family at first, but this time he watched our family suffer, but he watched from the other side. If you get rich in the future, don't associate with them. ”

Li Duan hesitated for a moment and nodded "Okay", but this aroused Mrs. Lin's dissatisfaction: "Did you listen to what I said? I'm not talking angrily to you, but people like this are not originally We should interact with each other, let alone your uncle’s house. When it’s beneficial, stay close to them, and when trouble comes, run away. If I find you interacting with them again, be careful that I don’t recognize you as my son.”

"I know." Li Duan replied, feeling a little uneasy.

Back then, he took a large sum of money from the Peng family and did some shady things for the Peng family...

However, they live in seclusion in the city of Hangzhou, and Hangzhou is where several major surnames in the south of the Yangtze River live. People named Peng will definitely not dare to mess around.

Li Duan agreed with Lin's decision: "Then we will leave overnight."

Lin nodded.

The mother and son packed up everything they needed to bring and put it on the mule cart. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no curfew in Lin'an City, they quietly headed to Tiaoxi Pier.

However, when going to Tiaoxi Pier, you will pass by Qingzhu Lane.

In the quiet alleys, green bamboos are exposed on the pink and white walls of every house.

Li Duan couldn't help but take a second look.

I saw two sedans with green curtains parked in the back alley of Qingzhu Lane. The curtains of the sedans were opened, and Pei Yan and Yu Tang got out of the sedans one after another.

Li Duan tightened his grip and leaned against the car window.

I saw Pei Yan holding Yu Tang's hand and saying something to Yu Tang. Yu Tang's face was full of shyness and he lowered his head. As if not satisfied, Pei Yan gently smoothed Yutang's perfectly intact temples.

Not only was Yu Tang not angry, he raised his head and glared at Pei Yan with a look that seemed both coquettish and angry.

Li Duan fell into the mule cart.

Lin asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

Li Duan shook his head and didn't say anything for a long time.

Pei Yan and Yu Tang...many things that he didn't understand suddenly became clear to him.

He shuddered.

No wonder people say that green bamboo has a snake’s mouth and a wasp’s tail has a needle, but the most poisonous thing is a woman’s heart.

Is she trying to avenge that boy from the Wei family?

Li Duan was in a mess, recalling what happened after he met Yu Tang. He didn't know what he did wrong or where he went wrong, which led to the situation like today.

If he regrets it, is it too late?

When should we start making corrections?

Li Duan doesn't even know this.

Seeing that his face suddenly turned pale, Mrs. Lin didn't believe what he said at all. Instead, she thought for a moment and told the driver: "Turn back, I want to see what happened to make you so lost?"

The last sentence was asked by Li Duan.

Li Duan said hurriedly: "It's nothing, I just remembered something. Don't go to such trouble, let's leave the city quickly and return to Hangzhou City! When we have been walking for such a long time, Hangzhou City There are a lot of things waiting for us over there, so we don’t have to waste time in Lin’an City.”

But the driver was Lin’s confidant. Lin’s harsh words were so harsh, how dare he not listen.

Then Mrs. Lin saw Pei Yan escorting Yu Tang to the sedan chair. Pei Yan even squeezed Yu Tang’s hand. After Yu Tang’s sedan chair disappeared into the back alley of Qingzhu Lane, Pei Yan left in the sedan chair. Go to Qingzhu Lane.

"Bitch!" Mrs. Lin gritted her teeth and said, "No wonder your father is in jail! I'm going to kill her!"

Li Duan said nothing.

Ms. Lin twisted Li Duan's arm with a ferocious expression, and roared in a low voice: "Did you hear that? I want that **** to die! Did you hear that!"

Li Duan felt pain, but remained calm and said "Okay" in a low voice.

The Li family's mule cart arrived at Tiaoxi Pier leisurely.

Li Duan helped Lin get on the hired boat.

Pei Yan got the news immediately.

"Are you going back to Hangzhou City?" He put down the pen in his hand and asked Pei Qi, "Didn't I say that all the properties in Hangzhou City were sold? Where do they live? Who helped them?"

"It's Mr. Shen." Pei Qi frowned and said, "Mr. Shen rented a two-room river house for the Li family not far from Xiaohe Royal Street in his own name."

Pei Yan sneered, took the handkerchief handed over by the boy, wiped his hands, and said, "In other words, Shen Shanyan still hopes that Li Duan will study and become an official to revive his family business? Has he been a little idle recently? Go and ask Hu Xing to come over."

Ask Hu Xing to find something for him to do, and he will have no time to meddle in other people's business.

Pei Qi left in response, and Pei Yan lost interest in writing a plan.

This summer, when he was in Lin'an, in addition to handling the Pei family's general affairs, he also stayed in the Yu family's shop. Not only did he understand the process of picking red paint, but he also helped the Yu family improve a lot of things that were inconvenient. The right place not only allowed the Yu family to successfully make new molds, but also prepared to write these into a book for reference by the Yu family. With this book, the Yu family can attract some people with craftsmanship nearby. Come and join us. In this way, the production capacity of Yujia's workshop will be greatly improved and we will be able to receive more orders.

He pushed open the window and took a few breaths quietly, feeling that he had to go to Yu Tang to ask for credit, otherwise the little girl would definitely forget about him.

She has been back for two days, but she has not brought herself a letter.

It seems that it would be better for them to get married earlier.

Gu Chang's date was September 26th, so they decided to go on October 6th. After offering sacrifices to the ancestors, one gets married. Their family can still have a good year, how wonderful!

The more Pei Yan thought about it, the more he thought it was good, so he simply turned over the almanac himself.

It’s just that he hadn’t read a few pages of the almanac before Hu Xing came

Pei Yan sent away the waiters around him~IndoMTL.com~ and planned the affairs of the Li family with Hu Xing: "The new Wu Zhifu is from Sichuan. He should not have any friendship with Master Shen, but you have to check it out. Check it out. Didn't there recently be a case of a daughter-in-law murdering her mother-in-law in Xinqiao Town? Mr. Shen is a great scholar of the world and the teacher of the county school. He should also take the responsibility of educating the people. Things in the county school have come to an end. You can let it go. As for the Li family, don't the neighbors care about being neighbors with the son of a corrupt official? There is also the Li family's house in Lin'an. It is so big and it is a time of trouble. The feng shui is not very good. It should not be Isn’t it too easy to sell?”

Hu Xing understood and left with a smile.

Pei Yan took out the unfinished book and read it again, and found nothing wrong. He went back to his room to change clothes and freshen up, and went to Pei Laoan's place

Pei Laoan has just returned home and is listening to the steward report about the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Pei Yan said: "Why didn't Miss Yu stay to help you?"

Pei Lao'an couldn't help but slapped his son a few times with the book in his hand, and said: "'I have seen partiality, but I have never seen one like you. I taught her the etiquette of the Dragon Boat Festival step by step, Isn’t it possible that she won’t succeed?”

Pei Yan said shamelessly: "Isn't it a good time for her to practice her skills during the Mid-Autumn Festival? During the Spring Festival, you don't have to worry about these things. You can just eat melon seeds and gossip with Aunt Yi and the others. How leisurely!"
