Chapter 575: Visiting Relatives and Friends (3)

When Li Laihe saw Jiang Anyi standing with a smile, he shouted in surprise: "When will the son-in-law come? It's been dinner."

Jiang Anyi bowed and said, "I went to Beijing the day before yesterday. I had no time to go to the palace to pay homage yesterday. Today I came to pay my respects to my father-in-law."

The guys in the hotel and those who came to do business knew that Manager Li's son-in-law was the governor of Huazhou, and the famous Zhuangyuan Jiang stood aside and watched the fun.

Li Laihe frowned and said to Jiang Anyi: "It is not convenient to talk here, Anyi will go home with me."

After giving a few instructions, he asked someone to go to his son's house to deliver a letter. Li Laihe took Jiang Anyi to his residence. Li Laihe's residence was not far from the wine shop. When he entered Ruyi Gate in the alley, the black paint on the door was a bit mottled for three years. When Jiang Anyi proposed to change his residence for his father-in-law, Li Laihe smiled and shook his head and refused, "The money given by the wine shop in recent years is enough to change to a larger house, but I am used to living here, and it is close to the wine shop, so it is convenient to get around."

After entering the house, he didn't see his mother-in-law. Before Jiang Anyi asked, Li Laihe explained: "Your mother-in-law has gone to Shicheng's family. Shicheng's son has had some fever these days, so she went to help take care of him. Dong'er has? Is Chen Zhi still obedient? When will he take him to Beijing and let me see it?" Li Lai and his wife had never seen their eldest grandson.

Jiang Anyi responded with a smile, asking his father-in-law and his wife to go to Huazhou to see Dong'er and grandson when he has time. He would say hello to Zhenwei Escort Agency and ask the people from the Escort Agency to escort him. Li Laihe thought for a while and said, "The business of the wine shop is too busy. After two years, the old woman and I will take Shicheng and his family to Huazhou to see Dong'er."

While talking, there was a noise outside the house. Li Shicheng received a letter and came with his wife and children. Jiang Anyi and Li Shicheng were friends of Zechang Academy and a husband and uncle. They should be close. However, after Li Shicheng passed the imperial examination, he was not enterprising and was determined to be involved in the camp. Cheng Xiquan used the prostitute Qionghua to set up a trap and did not wake up. He regarded Jiang Anyi as a sucker. Therefore, Jiang Anyi's friendship with him gradually faded, and he was not as close as Tian Shoulou.

Li Shicheng found out that Jiang Anyi was cold talk and knew that he could not rely on his brother-in-law to gain a foothold in the capital. Last year, his wife Li Hu gave birth to a son, Li Yingchen, and Dong'er was very happy to be an aunt. He sent a lot of gifts in the name of the couple. Li Shicheng pleased the girl in the letter and repaired the relationship with Jiang Anyi. In the past six months, they kept writing letters to each other and restored some of their past friendship.

To meet Jiang Anyi, Li Shicheng asked his wife to hold her son and stuff it into Jiang Anyi's hand. Li Yingchen was born in February last year and was twelve months old. Occasionally, the face was a little pale. Li Shicheng said next to him: "Chen'er, call me uncle, hello uncle."

Li Yingchen was a little convinced and twisted his body to look for his mother. Jiang Anyi took out a piece of beautiful jade prepared from his arms and hung it on the child's neck. Li Shicheng looked at the fist as big as a baby and made a cotton thread with gold wire. The jade became more and more delicate and gentle. It should be the best white mutton fat produced in Huazhou. Gold and silver are priceless. He estimated that such a large piece would cost at least 3,000 taels of silver.

He sighed in his heart that his brother-in-law is really rich. Li Shicheng smiled and said, "An Yi is so polite. Why do you and my relatives give such a valuable gift? Wouldn't you meet?"

Li Shicheng's wife Hu Fei took the child and rubbed the shiny jade. She was the consignee and smiled and said, "My brother-in-law has not arrived at my house yet. This time she will definitely come to the house to sit there. There is always a simple meal."

Li Laihe doesn't like this daughter-in-law, and doesn't say anything about it, but she still thinks it's like that, if she didn't see that she could make some money

, I guess I won't see her all year round. My wife, Li Liu, also came back together. Li Laihe said, "Old woman, go and cook with you. I'll go out to buy some vegetables on the street and treat my son-in-law well."

Li Shicheng said: "What's the food at home? I'll treat An Yi to Heminglou to drink. By the way, I invite Mr. Deng (Director Deng Huaisu), Yu Si (Di Li Temple is in Yu Jingshan), Yu Sheren (Living House is in Mingyang), and Zechang's classmates in Beijing to have a meal together. With An Yi's face, these people must be coming."

Li Hu murmured softly: "Where did you get the money? Your salary is not enough to have a drink at Heminglou. Your home is ready to drink the northwest wind."

Li Shicheng was extremely embarrassed. His wife was arrogant and would go back to her parents' home to cry at any time. Her father-in-law Hu Kun was the head of Taichang Temple (from the fifth rank). She scolded him unceremoniously. Li Shicheng wanted to rely on her father-in-law, so she had to swallow her anger and was controlled by her wife at home and was obedient and posted.

Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "Why do you have to go out for dinner for a family? Father-in-law, go buy vegetables. I'll cook two dishes later. Everyone can try it."

Li Lai and his wife had heard Dong'er say that the dishes fried by Jiang Anyi were delicious. If he could take the initiative to cook, he really regarded himself as his son-in-law. He was moved by his heart, and Li Laihe said happily: "Okay, I have eaten the dishes cooked by your mother-in-law for decades and I'm tired of it. It's just a change of taste."

Li Liu scolded: "Old man, I think the dishes I cook are not delicious. If you have the ability, you should never eat them again."

Jiang Anyi smiled at Li Shicheng with awkward expression and said, "Brother Li, you have an appointment with someone another day. I'll treat everyone to a meal. It's been a long time since we saw each other, and it's just a moment to talk about the friendship between classmates."

Li Shicheng agreed with a smile, his face calmed down.

When Li Laihe bought the vegetables, Jiang Anyi really cooked three major dishes, braised lamb, fried chicken nuggets, and sprinkled rabbits. Jiang Anyi's craftsmanship is getting better and better. The three dishes are served with a scent of aroma, making people salivate. Li Shicheng ate all the restaurants in Beijing and tasted a piece of mutton and praised: "It's fragrant, crispy, refreshing and no mutton smell, and it's a hundred times better than Dingweiju." He picked up a piece of rabbit meat and praised: "The aroma is everywhere, the fragrance is strong, and the taste is delicious."

Li Hu handed her son to her mother-in-law, and lit up the chopsticks without saying a word, and her mouth was filled with oil.

The family talked and laughed, drinking and talking. It was getting late, and Li Yingchen was a little quarrel. Li Liu and Li Hu took their children back first, and only Li Laihe, Li Shicheng and Jiang Anyi were left on the table. Li Laihe poured wine for Jiang Anyi and kicked his son under the table. Li Shicheng hurriedly picked up the glass and said, "An Yi, I had something to do with you before, don't take it seriously. This glass of wine is considered a pity."

As he said that, Li Shicheng drank it all in one go, and shone the empty cup to Jiang Anyi. Jiang Anyi picked up the cup and drank it all, and smiled and said, "Brother Li is my eldest brother-in-law, both a friend and a close relative. What is Xu Xiao misunderstanding about him?"

Li Laihe was on behalf of his son-in-law and son and said, "The little old man is a branch of the Li family. I thought he would have had a full meal in Anqi Li family in this life. Shicheng went to Zechang Academy to study and meet a son-in-law and promised you Dong'er (Li Laihe didn't know it was Li Shicheng's lie). This made the family change. The little old man also rose with the flow and became a big shopkeeper in Beijing. He never dreamed of it."

With a sigh, Li Laihe picked up the wine, Jiang Anyi hurriedly raised his glass and drank it with him. Li Laihe continued: "Dong'er and I don't worry about her. I see the character of the son-in-law. It is the ancestors of the old Li family who have accumulated virtue, and I, Li Laihe, have done good deeds in my previous life.

It was only then that I found a little business that suited Dong'er."

Seeing that Li Laihe was a little drunk, Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "Dong'er is gentle and considerate. It is a blessing for Jiang to marry her. My son-in-law respects his father-in-law."

Li Laihe happily raised his glass and drank it all, saying, "It is said that now you don't have to worry about food and clothing. Your children have a lot of spare money in your hands. You shouldn't have any extravagant wishes. You'll be happy if you die one day. Alas, it's just..."

He pointed at Li Shicheng, and Li Laihe sighed, "This is not strong, I can't let go. Although he is an official now, he is obedient and obedient at home by his wife. You saw it just now. He wanted to invite you to drink, and his wife immediately drank him. This is still in front of you. If I had to, I would have slapped him."

Li Shicheng's mouth twitched, thinking that his father was talking nonsense, and he didn't dare to say anything when he scolded him, but he knew that his father was talking to him, and he lowered his head to pretend to be pitiful. Jiang Anyi sighed in his heart. Li Shicheng's bear look was indeed pitiful. The man who was energetic back then turned into a coward who was afraid of his wife.

"The reason why his wife is arrogant is not because she is the Chief of Dachang Temple. Shicheng's Chief of the Chief of the Crown was her, so her family called Shicheng around and drank, so how could she treat Shicheng as a son-in-law?" Li Laihe said angrily: "If Chen'er hadn't been born, I would have wanted Shicheng to divorce his wife."

Jiang Anyi advised: "Every family has a difficult sutra to recite. Maybe Li Hu will be more sensible in a while."

Li Laihe Lianlian shook his head and said, "Son-in-law, the young man shouldn't have made you embarrassed, but I hope you can help Shicheng for Dong'er's sake and let him change his life. This kind of slutty is unbearable for men."

Speaking of the sadness, tears came from the corners of Li Lai and his eyes. Jiang Anyi hurriedly said, "My father-in-law told me that the son-in-law must think of a way to find a good job for Brother Shicheng."

Li Shicheng suppressed his ecstasy. He wrote countless letters to beg Jiang Anyi, which was better than a tear than his father. He filled his wine for his father and Jiang Anyi. Li Shicheng raised his glass and said, "You are unfilial, let your father be angry. Anyi, thank you for this glass of wine first, please."

From the bottom of his heart, Jiang Anyi really doesn't want to use his power for personal gain, but he cannot be without any concern in life in the world. The things in front of him are hard to refuse. He also saw Li Hu's actions just now, and he didn't take his father-in-law's family seriously at all, and his brother-in-law could not be too despised.

After thinking about it, Jiang Anyi said: "Brother Shicheng is now the rank of the ninth rank (the performance of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank

Li Shicheng frowned. He was a little reluctant to let go of the prosperity of the capital. Although he was young in the capital, he had his father-in-law and Zechang's classmates. He lived a glorious life outside. If he went to a foreign office, he would be in charge of the county magistrate and he would have to deal with the clerks. I am afraid that a good life would come to an end.

Li Laihe didn't want his son to be an official in another place, so when he came to the capital, he was left with his old couple and was incompatible with his daughter-in-law. It would be difficult for him to meet his grandson. Li Laihe said, "Chen'er is still young, can you not let Shicheng go out?"
