Li Baolu was not in a hurry to talk about tea ceremony with Li Xie and Li Sheng. After talking about tea ceremony and medical knowledge, Li Baolu said with a smile: "When my grandfather was around, I was still young, and I didn't even recognize two herbs. Fortunately, the medical books left by my grandfather In detail, I learned some medical knowledge according to the map. It's just that what I learned from the book was superficial, so after I returned to Beijing, I asked Li San to let cousin Jun go to Tongxintang to learn a little bit."

The smile on Li Baolu's face grew wider, but there was a sense of coldness, "After all, Grandpa Li San has a different relationship with his grandfather. Grandpa was exiled in Lingnan, and he only wrote family letters to Grandpa Li San. Baolu is so serious." Dare to use his grandfather's favor to exchange a chance for Cousin Jun, but he didn't expect to embarrass you in the end."

Li Sheng's face was pale. He and Li Bo were about the same age. They grew up together and studied medicine together, so they had a particularly good relationship.

Li Baolu turned her head to look at Li Jun, and said with a smile: "Cousin Jun, why don't you go and thank Mr. Li San, you can study in Tongxin Hall for two years because of Mr. Li San's favor."

Li Jun came out, knelt down to the two of them with a "bang", and kowtowed "bang bang".

Li Xie and Li Sheng looked pale, but quickly grabbed him, Li Sheng even shook his lips and said: "No, that's not the case..."

When he came forward to let Li Jun enter the Tongxin Hall, he naturally thought that he was Li Bo's grandson, and the reason why the clan agreed was because he was Li Bo's grandson.

But Li Baolu said this...

Li Sheng raised his head to look at Li Baolu, "Baolu, it's because of your grandfather's honor that Brother Jun got into Tongxin Hall, not because of me."

"Ah~" Li Baolu laughed sarcastically: "So my grandfather's face is still so useful in Shunde Li clan? I thought Li clan only remembered his grandfather's faults now, and no longer remembered his merits, let alone his merits. Friendship."

These words were like sharp knives, and it was like a sharp pain on the two of them.

Li Baolu lowered her eyes and took a sip of her tea, her face was as cold as frost.

Li Jun took a look at his cousin who was not at all normal, and slowly retreated behind her, looking up at Li Xie and Li Sheng.

Li Baolu is even more difficult to deal with than Li Hong.

Li Xie and Li Sheng looked at each other, and it was impossible to withdraw to find Li Hong to negotiate terms at this time, so the two could only bite the bullet and said: "Bao Lu, we also know that your grandfather has been wronged, the family It's not that I don't want him to return to the clan, it's just that it will be later..."

"That's why my second uncle doesn't want to embarrass the two of you. Since you can't convince the clansmen, the Holy Majesty will make the decision. Naturally, you won't have to take the blame."

"Then do you know what the consequences will be if you file a complaint? It took more than 20 generations for the Li family in Shunde to have the prestige we have today. Once the drum is knocked on the drum, the scandal will be known to the world. If your grandfather Quan Xia knew he should be How sad?"

"The head of the Li family is right." Li Baolu looked at him with a half-smile and said, "That's why I am willing to see you, instead of letting my servants send you off at the door. After all, compared to seeing you, suing you It's much simpler."

Li Xie's face turned blue.

"But I'm young, and my second uncle is a rascal. We don't have much patience. As for the three-month period you mentioned, we can't wait for the half-year period." Li Baolu looked at Li Sheng and said, "Master Li San , when my grandfather was there, I sent letters to you, and when we returned to Beijing, I gave Cousin Jun the last letter my grandfather wrote to you, and you must have read that last letter."

Li Jun immediately said: "The letter was handed over to the third grandfather personally two years ago."

Li Sheng's eyes trembled, he nodded and said, "Yes, I have read it."

"Then Grandpa Li San should know that my grandfather has two wishes in his life. One is to be rehabilitated and return to the capital; the other is to return to the family and clear his name."

Li Sheng nodded under Li Baolu's gaze.

Li Baolu squeezed the teacup slightly harder, and the teacup shattered, and then shattered into pieces in her hands, and the tea was spilled instantly.

Li Xie and Li Sheng were stunned, but Li Baolu took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands indifferently, and said with a smile: "And my grandfather's last wish is my wish. Although I was young when he passed away, I remembered that he was not only my parents He is the best person to me, so I don't care about Li Shi's prestige and reputation, I only want to fulfill my grandfather's last wish. Even if it is by any means."

Li Xie and Li Sheng's expressions changed, they were completely helpless.

The two of them sat on the chairs with unsatisfactory complexions, and their hearts were in a mess. Their bottom line was that they should not be allowed to return to the clan, because after returning to the clan, it would involve a dispute over the industry. Since Li Baolu would fight to return to the clan once for Li Bo, how could Knowing that she will not put pressure on Li Shi to take back the share of their branch for their branch?

And the share of their branch had already been divided up by them when Li Bo was sentenced to exile.

Twenty years have passed, and everyone has made a lot of money. How can it be possible to let them spit out what they eat?

The Li family is not the Qin family.

The Qin family is an heir to farming and studying, and they value farmland, reading and official positions more. Therefore, when Qin Xinfang is an official in the cabinet and is a direct branch, even if they are jealous of those properties, they will not do it, let alone dare to make a move.

But the Li family belongs to the family of Xinglin. Apart from houses and fields, all the common industries in their clan are related to medicine, and Tongxintang is a big item, it is a family and ancestral industry.

It was something equivalent to lifeblood, and it was naturally impossible for them to hand it over once it was in their pockets.

Therefore, even though Li Xie and Li Sheng have great power in the clan, they cannot make decisions on behalf of the whole clan at this time.

This thing is huge!

But if they don't agree at this time, will they really be able to get it right after Li Hong goes to sue him?

Li Hong is nothing in front of the Holy One, but Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu are different. One of them is simple in the emperor's heart, and the other has the grace of saving the emperor's life. They can decide the sentence with one sentence, not to mention they are reasonable in this matter.

At that time, not only their face, but also their face will be gone, which will be a devastating blow to Li Shi.

Their Li Shi is a doctor, what is the most important thing about being a doctor?

Germany!

Virtue first, then talent!

If you lose your virtue, you will still lose your virtue in front of the whole world, who will dare to go to Tongxintang to see a doctor and get medicine in the future?

Li Xie and Li Sheng never thought that they could be pushed into such a situation by a gangster, a little girl, they couldn't help drooping their heads and shoulders, as if they were ten years older.

Li Baolu waited for them to think, picked up another teacup from the tea tray on the side, and Li Jun obediently carried the teapot to make tea for her, and after drinking a cup, she looked at the two silent people and said with a smile: "I know Patriarch Li What Mr. Li San is worried about is nothing more than the share of Tongxintang."

Patriarch Li and Grandpa Li San were startled and looked up at Li Baolu.

Both they and Li Hong subconsciously avoided this point first, because it was a bit too advanced to say this point before the matter of returning to the clan was negotiated.

Both parties did not want their thoughts to be exposed, but unexpectedly Li Baolu brought it up directly.

Li Xie and Li Sheng looked at each other, both feeling uneasy and grasping the fleeting vitality from it, both felt that Li Baolu didn't mention this matter at this time to continue to persecute them.

"Speaking of which, I don't know that our branch actually occupies such a large share in the Tongxintang. The matter of returning to the clan has not been settled for a long time. I only found out when my second uncle mentioned it."

Li Xie: "Back then your grandfather committed a crime and his family property was confiscated. Because it involved the Tongxintang, our family jointly pooled funds to redeem those shares..."

"I know, it's a total of ten thousand taels of silver." Li Baolu looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Now that my grandfather has been rehabilitated, I will go to the palace to ask for the grace of the Holy One, and it will not be difficult for him to return the family property. The example is before, and when the time comes, I will pay the money you paid for it."

Li Xie couldn't help shaking his lips, unable to speak.

Li Baolu said loudly: "Hearts!"

"Ma'am," Hongtao immediately stepped in from the outside, bowed and said, "What is Ma'am's order?"

"I have a box in my bedside table, go get it for me."

"yes."

Li Xie and Li Sheng looked at each other, feeling even more uneasy. Fortunately, Heart didn't keep them waiting, and soon came in with a box.

Li Baolu nodded Li Xie with her chin, and said with a smile, "Leave it to Patriarch Li."

The heart was immediately handed to Li Xie, seeing that Li Xie hesitated to accept it, she put it on the table beside him.

"This is a 10,000 tael silver bill." Seeing Li Xie and Li Sheng's complexion changed drastically, she smiled and said, "Don't worry about Li Patriarch and Grand Master Li San. Although this silver bill is to pay back your ransom twenty years ago, our This team really didn’t want those shares.”

"I know that Tongxintang is the foundation of the Li family. It is of great significance and benefits. Not to mention my second uncle, even my cousin Jun is also very difficult to gain a foothold in Tongxintang. After all, we were born in Qiongzhou and grew up in Qiongzhou. In Qiongzhou, even if we come from the same line, we are still far away from our relatives. What's more, after twenty years, wanting them to spit out the meat that reaches the mouth is tantamount to nonsense. I don't have that much ambition, nor am I so overconfident .”

Li Xie and Li Sheng didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief, or continue to worry.

"There are two things I want. One is to let my grandparents and my parents be buried in the ancestral grave, and enjoy the incense of future generations with my ancestors; the other is to let my second uncle rely on something so that it will not decline and go underground in a hundred years. When I see my grandparents, I can visit them with no regrets." Li Baolu clicked the box and said, "If Patriarch Li intends to reconcile, then you can accept the ten thousand taels as my ransom for second uncle. My grandfather belongs to the family, you can pay to buy their share, how you divide it in private, how to get the money is up to you."

Li Xie raised his heart and said, "Then I don't know how much we should pay to redeem it?"

Li Baolu smiled, "I don't ask much, 160,000 taels, and our ancestral house."

Li Xie twitched his face, which meant that apart from the 10,000 taels, Li Bo, the returning clan, would have to pay a high price of 150,000 taels, which far exceeded his expectations.

You must know that the upper limit they set is one hundred thousand taels.

"I don't know much about Tongxintang, but I also know that our branch has the largest share besides the direct branch. Now that Tongxintang is open in half of Chu, the annual income goes without saying. Although the 160,000 taels is Less, but for Second Uncle Yu, any more would cause trouble, so I think this number is just right, what does Patriarch Li think?"
