Chapter 7 Death
Li Jie is usually a little difficult to choose and is prone to hesitation when encountering problems, but he also has an advantage, that is, once he makes a decision, he will do his best.
It was a few days before Li Shanchang's birthday, so in the next few days, Li Jie kept locking himself in the study and tinkering with some things in secret. During this period, Liu Yi also brought him some materials. He was also very curious about what Li Jie was doing. He asked Li Jie several times what he was doing, but Li Jie refused to say it on the grounds of keeping it confidential.
After several days of busy schedule, tomorrow was Li Shanchang's birthday, and Li Jie finally prepared the birthday gift, which made him feel relieved. With this gift, his plan could be implemented.
"Dongdong~Dongdong~" A familiar small drum sounded outside the window.
Li Jie also smiled slightly when he heard the sound outside the window. He immediately stood up and opened the window. He saw Di'er standing outside with a greedy look on his face, which made him laugh and said, "Di'er, you're here too early, and he hasn't come yet!"
"It's okay, I'll wait a little longer!" Di'er said indifferently. When he first met, Li Jie promised to bring her candied haws. He hasn't gone out these days, but he has always remembered this incident, so he often asked Liu Yi to bring some snacks. As a result, this little girl has developed a habit and will knock on the window at this time of day.
"By the way, it turns out that it is the birthday of my grandfather. Brother, are you and your father going to have something delicious?" Di'er suddenly thought of tomorrow's events, so she asked curiously. Although she is also Li Shanchang's granddaughter, her origin is not qualified to celebrate her birthday.
"Yes, but I went to the banquet not for food and drink, but for life!" Li Jie smiled again. Of course, the little girl couldn't understand what he meant, and he didn't explain.
While he was talking, he heard a familiar sound of footsteps outside. Then Liu Yi walked into the yard with a few bags of things. When he saw the flute in the yard, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It's really time to come. You little girl must like the snacks in Pinxianglou!"
"Thank you, little marquis!" Di'er ran over happily to take the snacks brought by Liu Yi.
"How many times have you said it, call me cousin!" Li Jie in the window reminded again that the only people in the family called Liu Yi, and Di'er was his sister. Although she had nothing to do with Liu Yi, she had to follow her name.
"Thank you cousin!" Di'er smiled mischievously when she heard Li Jie's reminder, and then ran out with her own snacks in her hand. This girl was very tight, and she would hide the snacks she could not finish eating. No one would think of leaving half a piece of it from her.
"I didn't expect you to be so kind to your illegitimate sister." Liu Yi walked over with a smile and said.
"In my opinion, the legitimate descendants are the same. Also, don't forget that my parents are both born in the illegitimate descendants." Li Jie said as he walked to the outer hall and invited Liu Yi to come in and talk. After all, it was still very cold outside.
"Are the gift ready? My father will take me to the birthday party tomorrow. Do we want us to help?" Liu Yi came in and took a sip of hot tea before asking.
"Don't worry about gifts, as for tomorrow..." Li Jie hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Cousin, tell your uncle after you go back, no matter what happens to me tomorrow, you don't come forward, and don't even say anything more!"
"Ahem~~, what do you mean, what do you want to do?" Liu Yi was so scared that he choked at Li Jie's words, coughed twice before asking anxiously.
"It's nothing, I'll just say hello to you in advance. Don't worry about me then!" Li Jie smiled again. He has not only made gifts these days, but has considered the entire plan in detail. He has considered anything that might happen. At that time, Liu Yi and his son should not interfere, otherwise they may be implicated.
"Cousin, I'm even more unsure if you say this. We brothers have a fight. Can you tell me a briefing so that I can also prepare?" Liu Yi asked nervously, telling him intuition that Li Jie might have to do something big tomorrow.
"It's not that I don't want to say it, but that I don't know what will happen tomorrow. After all, the choice is not in my hands, but in my grandfather's hands!" Li Jie shook his head helplessly. Compared to Li Shanchang, his illegitimate grandson was just an insignificant little person.
As soon as Li Jie finished speaking, Liu Yi was about to ask questions, but unexpectedly, a servant suddenly rushed to report: "The master asked the young master to the front hall and said that there was a guest coming!"
"There are guests again?" Li Jie was stunned when he heard the servant's words. Last time it was his fifth uncle who came, who was this time?
Liu Yi was also a little curious, so he came to the front yard with Li Jie. However, as soon as the two of them walked to the living room, they heard a thunderous voice shouting: "Son-in-law, you are back!"
Before Li Jie could react, he saw Liu Yi next to him change his face and then ran away. When he ran away, he did not forget to shout: "Cousin, I'll leave in advance, I'll come to see you tomorrow~~"
Before he finished speaking, Liu Yi had run away. Li Jie had just reacted, but he felt that his head was black, and then his whole body tightened and he was actually picked up by someone in the waist. At the same time, a strong smell filled his mouth and nose, and Li Jie was so fuming that he almost passed away.
"Son-in-law! Your illness has finally recovered!" The rumbling sound echoed between Li Jie's ears, and he felt that his ears were deaf.
However, at this time, Li Jie finally saw clearly that he was actually being picked up by a man like a black bear. The other party yelled and patted his back excitedly. His two big hands like palm fans were like tampering machines. Every time he patted Li Jie, he felt that his internal organs were about to be vomited out.
"Brother Hu, Jie'er has just recovered from a serious illness, but she can't stand your shot like this. Let him go!" At this moment, a life-saving voice sounded, and Li Jie's tears were almost over when he heard this. It was still his own father who felt sorry for his son. He felt that if he continued like this, he would be smothered to death if he was not patted to death.
The man like a black bear seemed to think that Li Zhu's words made sense, so he put Li Jie on the ground with a "bang". Li Jie also withdrew a few words, then took a breath, and then felt that he had come alive.
"You... cough cough~, who are you?" Li Jie covered his chest and coughed while questioning. If it weren't for the words of his father, he would have been strangled to death.
"He really doesn't know me anymore!" The man like a black bear said in surprise when he heard Li Jie's words.
Li Jie finally evenly evenly gasped at this time, and then he had the opportunity to look at the other person. He saw that the other person was one head taller than ordinary people, with thick limbs, tiger back and bear waist, and his facial features were quite straight, but he had a beard like a steel needle. When he suddenly looked, he looked like a black bear.
"Jie'er must not be rude. This is Hu Jiang and Hu Qianhu, and it is also your future father-in-law!" Li Zhu also walked up to scold him at this time.
"Yue...father-in-law?" Li Jie was stunned when he heard this. Why did another future father-in-law appear? His family didn't seem to have mentioned it to him, so why did he marry the princess?
"What are you doing when you are standing there? Come forward and salute!" Li Zhu was stunned when he saw Li Jie, so he nudged him.
Li Jie then reacted and immediately walked forward and saluted, "Greetings... Meet Uncle Hu!"
Hu Jiang smiled with satisfaction at this time and said, "It's not bad. I was worried that you were too sick to get married. Now that you are cured, I might as well get married in a few days!"
