Poor Family

The fourth prince stayed in Li Fuzhi's room for most of the day, accompanied Li Fuzhi to see the imperial doctor and had dinner with her.

During the dinner, the two concubines in the same courtyard knew that the fourth prince was at Li Fuzhi's place, so they all dressed up and came to look for them, insisting on staying to serve the fourth prince for dinner.

The fourth prince originally wanted to talk to Li Fuzhi about the Li family, but these two concubines messed up everything, which made him very annoyed.

"Okay, I don't need you to serve me here, the prince, you all step back!"

Seeing the fourth prince's face darkened, the two concubines could only reluctantly leave.

As soon as they left, the fourth prince said to Li Fuzhi: "You are not in good health, and it is too noisy to live with other people, which is not conducive to self-cultivation. I will ask someone to clean up the yard. In the future, you will live in a yard by yourself. "

Li Fuzhi didn't expect such an unexpected surprise. She was really tired of living in the same yard with others. There were so many things and troubles. Having her own separate yard was what she wanted most after entering the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

"Thank you Your Highness."

Li Fuzhi served the fourth prince tenderly after the meal. Because the body was not well, the fourth prince did not stay overnight. Li Fuzhi personally sent the fourth prince out of the courtyard gate, and stood at the gate of the courtyard to watch the fourth prince until the fourth prince was out of sight. When he arrived, he turned back to the room.

"Auntie, His Royal Highness cares about you so much, you have finally come to the end of all hardships."

Compared to the joy of the maid, Li Fuzhi's complexion was a little heavy.

She knew that the reason why the Fourth Prince thought of herself today and cared for her was just because she wanted to get a way from her to deal with Shi Zhenghe's family. If she didn't handle this matter well, her life in the mansion might be uncertain in the future Even more sad than today.

"Clean up, we'll go back to Li's house in two days."

With the decline of the Zeng family, Li Zhengkun's family has no one to help, and the marriage of the four children has almost exhausted Zeng Yuwei's dowry. In addition, the old man Li and his family have to be dragged in. The days are getting more and more difficult.

Seeing that the family's life was getting more and more difficult, Li Zhengkun gave up his lofty literati, gritted his teeth and sold the house in the inner city that Wuchangbofu had given him, and moved his family to live in the outer city.

Li Fuzhi left the inner city in the carriage of the Prince's Mansion, seeing the increasingly noisy and chaotic scenery as she went out, the good mood of leaving the mansion disappeared in an instant.

The family originally lived in the spacious and magnificent Earl's Mansion; later they moved out of the Earl's Mansion and lived in an ordinary courtyard in the inner city; until now, they can only find a place to live in the outer city.

How did their family get down to where they are today?

Li Fuzhi's eyes shone with hatred, it was Shizhenghe's family, and the appearance of this family was the beginning of their nightmare.

Thinking of the current situation of Shizheng and his family, Li Fuzhi's heart ached.

Shi Zhenghe is now the commander of the Beichang Bingmasi. Although the official position is not big, but the power is not small, and the Jin family, who was once out of place today, has also changed from a peasant woman to a noble lady.

The most suffocating thing is that the marriages of Shi Zhenghe's four children are surprisingly good.

Shi Zhengxuan married the daughter of the Chief Detective of the South, inherited the connections of the Yue family, and now he himself became the Chief Detective of the South.

Shi Fuyin married into An Guogong's mansion, Shi Fuxin married into Prince Rong's mansion, and Shi Zhenghao married the princess.

The four brothers and sisters all joined the powerful family.

As for them, the eldest brother can only marry the daughter of a small official, she became the concubine of the fourth prince, the younger brother and younger sister are even worse, the younger brother married the daughter of a small businessman, and the younger sister can only marry a white body.

As long as Li Fuzhi thinks of the huge difference between the two of them, Li Fuzhi can't breathe.

Half an hour later, in Li Fuzhi's heartbroken and depressed, the carriage drove into a narrow alley, and stopped in front of a courtyard with two entrances in the alley.

With the help of the maid, Li Fuzhi got out of the carriage.

Before entering the courtyard, Li Fuzhi heard Mrs. Li's loud roar coming from inside. The most unacceptable thing for her was that her mother responded to Mrs. Li with the same loud voice.

Li Fuzhi was a little stunned, it has only been so many years, and her once decent and dignified mother has become as vulgar as a village woman!

"Miss Zhi?"

A voice that seemed excited and surprised came to her ears, Li Fuzhi looked back and saw her father Li Zhengkun was panting and rubbing his hands a little cautiously, looking at her with surprise on his face.

"Father!"

Li Fuzhi was also very excited to see her relatives.

Li Zhengkun happily walked towards Li Fuzhi, but after walking a few steps, he noticed that Li Fuzhi's gaze fell on the brush on his right hand, and stopped awkwardly: "Because my father has nothing to do, I set up a stall at the entrance of the alley. People write letters or something."

"I just heard people on the street say that a nobleman came to our alley, and my father guessed it was you after listening to their description of the carriage. I was so excited that I even forgot to put down my pen."

After hearing this, Li Fuzhi felt extremely sad.

At this time, the old lady Li and Zeng Yuwei quarreled again in the courtyard of the Li family, mixed with the voices of other women.

Li Zhengkun was extremely embarrassed when he heard this, and trotted into the yard.

Soon, the scolding between Mrs. Li and Zeng Yuwei disappeared.

"Miss Zhi!"

Zeng Yuwei ran out like a gust of wind, and when she saw Li Fuzhi, she rushed forward and hugged her: "My daughter, you finally came back to see your mother."

"Mother!"

Li Fuzhi hugged Zeng Yuwei back, both mother and daughter had wet eyes.

Li Zhengkun watched silently from the side and felt very uncomfortable.

Although Sister Zhi entered the fourth prince's backyard, it sounded very glamorous, but in the end she was just a concubine. If she wanted to go back to her mother's house, she had to ask the fourth prince's concubine for permission first.

But it's a good thing that Sister Zhi entered the fourth prince's backyard, otherwise their family's life would be even more difficult.

Life in the outer city is not easy. Even if he set up a stall at the entrance of the alley, he would be bullied by the gangsters on the street, and there would be constant friction between neighbors. Life at home will not be so peaceful.

Noticing that other people in the alley opened their courtyard doors and secretly looked towards them, Li Zhengkun asked the mother and daughter to go home first.

After entering the yard, Li Fuzhi suffocated again.

Too many people!

In the past few years, the five cousins ​​have all gotten married, and after they got married, their children were born one after another. The eldest cousin with the most children has four children, and the youngest has two children.

There are more than 30 people living in a courtyard with two entrances, how can it not be crowded.

Zeng Yuwei knew her daughter best, seeing Li Fuzhi frowning, she knew that she didn't like the rest of the Li family, so she immediately said: "Sister Zhi, let's go to mother's house." After saying that, she dragged Li Fuzhi into the upper room.

When Li Zhengkun saw him, he didn't say much, and followed the mother and daughter.

Over the past few years of life, he has long worn away the little bit of admiration he had for his parents and relatives.

"Open your mouth and keep your mouth shut every day. Now that you're back, you don't even need to meet your grandparents first!"

Mrs. Li muttered a few words, then turned to look for Mr. Li.

Old man Li had already heard from his great-grandson that Li Fuzhi was back, and when he saw Mrs. Li entering the room with a bad complexion, he said sternly, "Just calm down."

Mrs. Li was just about to reply when she heard old man Li say: "We and the second and third children all depend on the eldest family for a living, and Sister Zhi is the most capable of the old family. Don't go looking for it."

"I've heard that you can't just go back to your mother's house to be a concubine, unless the concubine is more favored. Sister Zhi's return means that she is doing well in the prince's mansion."

"Prince, that's the emperor's son. A little bit of stuff coming out of his fingers is enough for our family to eat and drink. If you coax sister Zhi, maybe you can find a decent one for them. easy job."

Mrs. Li sneered and said: "The dead girl came back and didn't even say hello to me. How can you expect her to help Youcai? It's just a dream!"

Old man Li was about to say something when he heard voices coming from outside.

"Father, mother, sister Zhi has come to see you."

Hearing this, old man Li and old lady Li looked at each other in surprise, and then saw Li Fuzhi enter the room accompanied by Li Zhengkun and Zeng Yuwei.
