Chapter 19: Eighty taels of silver cannot be compensated ()

At noon, Li You, who was frustrated in the workplace, returned to his residence unhappily, thinking to himself that he would be in trouble every time he went to Li Meijie's house. It was really a fateful constrain.

When he entered the room, he saw his nephew Li Zheng waiting, with a bookcase placed under his feet and a luggage package beside him. The maid Xiaozhu came to his ear and complained again, "Master, your cheap grandson will not be able to leave, and he has to live for ten days and a half months. I can't drive him away with it."

Li Zheng stepped forward to defend himself and said, "Uncle, uncle! The county exam will start the day after the day, and there will be five exams in total, and one of them will take ten days the next day. Uncle Zeng taught me to live with you, take the exam with peace of mind, and save the hardship of running around." Uncle Zeng naturally pointed to Li You's father, and it was appropriate to take care of each other in the same clan and tribe.

"It's okay to stay here. I'm close to the county school, so it's convenient to come and go." Li You agreed, but seeing Li Zheng's relaxed and wishful look, he couldn't help asking: "How did you learn? Are you sure?"

Li Zheng said indifferently: "Thank you for your blessing, aren't we anyone above? There must be no problem in the county examination."

Li You immediately collapsed and said, "Tell you something, I hate that master today. He already has grudges in his heart. I'm afraid he won't have such affection."

Li Zhengru was struck by lightning and was shocked, "What should I do? I have already praised at home. How can I have the right to go back to meet the elders of Jiangdong if I failed this county exam?"

Seeing Li Zheng's dejected look, Li You cheered up and said, "I heard that you have been smart since childhood. Your husband often appreciates you when you are studying. You should not be so self-reliant. You must establish your confidence. If you lose your favor, you can do it by your ability."

"I have a lot of poetry and books, so I naturally have this ability, so I don't need to say it." Li Zheng turned his head and said proudly, "How come you are not good at your best, and you will be abusive to the county magistrate. I was the first in the exam, and I was afraid that the county magistrate would not let it go." He said with a heartache: "If I had known this, why would you have to be the first one? If I knew that there was today, I would not have come to find my uncle to open the way. Now, it is good, but it has been blocked. It's a pity that my Li family's road to fame was destroyed in the hands of our own people at the first level!"

Li You glared at Li Zheng for a while, waved weakly, "Set up the meal!"

After Xiaozhu came over to serve tea, she went to serve the meal.

Li Zheng winked at Li You again and said, "You are so lucky. You have such a beautiful little girl at home."

Shui Ling... Li You looked at Xiaozhu, and he didn't feel anything every day. When he heard Li Zheng mention it today, he realized that Xiaozhu was no longer the yellow face and thin skin when he bought it.

Perhaps Xiaozhu ate well and slept well at him during this period, and his work was much easier than when he was at home before, and no one was beaten or scolded and disciplined. Li You treated her kindly. Neighbors and family members loved her very much, and lived a very comfortable life. He gradually became pretty and charming, like a little flower bud.

It has changed a lot in just over a month... If it were like this a month ago, let alone six taels, sixteen taels would be almost the same.

"I heard that I only spent six taels of silver on you?" Li Zheng said enviously: "I have so many convenient things in the public school. If I don't go well in the imperial examination in the future, I will come to ask you for a share."

Li You put on an air of an elder and scolded, "You are young and young, and it is the time to study hard. When you are burying the meaning of the scriptures and seeking progress, you can shine your ancestors and your descendants. How can you be frivolous and unscrupulous, pay attention to the heretics, and face great tests and be unstable, and be worthy of the entrusted entrusted by the entire clan?"

"I'm sure to be taught by the old man." Li Zheng bowed in a long manner in a pretense.

I don’t know what Xiaozhu heard, so she accidentally sprinkled a handful of salt into Li Zheng’s bowl of rice, which made Li Zheng grin.

"It's not true..." Li You just said three words, and the big eyes of Xiaozhu instantly appeared in red circles. As the tears of beanban were about to fall, he continued to maintain the glorious tradition of crying and blaming himself when he was dissatisfied.

"It's okay to do something, it's okay to do something." Li Zheng pleaded for Xiaozhu instead.

After dinner, I suddenly saw the maid of Li Meijie's family Yuexiang knocking on the door in a panic. When I saw Li You, I hurriedly said, "Miss Huan in my family has been crazy these days and keeps writing. Sister Meijie really has no choice but to ask Mr. Li to take a look."

Li You said angrily: "If you are crazy, go find a doctor! Or go find a monk and Taoist priest to do it! What should I do? I don't owe you anything! I really think I am your slave!"

After many times, he always encounters some unlucky things when he goes there. How could he not be angry? Especially when he lost his mission this time, he took his anger on Sister Li Mei's house.

Yuexiang knelt down and begged Li You hard.

It turned out that Li Huan didn't eat or drink these days, and just wrote and wrote, and there were eight thousand words a day. Although Li Meijie couldn't recognize a few words, she still vaguely saw the names of several people as if they were the Lin Daiyu story that Li You told that day. It was just that Li Huan was crazy by Li You's story, and she was in a state of mind. She thought that the person who tied the bell had to untied it and asked Yuexiang to come and invite Li You.

However, after all, Li You refused to go, so Yuexiang had no choice but to go back and report her life.

Seeing that Li You didn't help, Li Meijie actually paid for a doctor, monk, Taoist priest in the afternoon, and came around like a horse lantern. No one solved the problem. Li Huan was still sleepless and kept writing hard. Sister Li Meijie was helpless.

At dusk, Sister Li Mei took a sedan chair and came to Li You's residence in person.

Li You, the queen of the scattered yamen, met Sister Li Mei outside the gate of the residence, and said with a sassination: "It's useless for you to come! Let's go back early while it's still dawn!"

Sister Li Mei sneered a few times and said, "I didn't ask Mr. Li to do it, but I'm asking for some credit."

Li You said in surprise: "Are you crazy too? What debt do I owe?"

Sister Li Mei spread her palms and stretched her hands in front of Li You and said, "My family Huan'er could have received eighty taels of silver from her family, but she was disturbed by her sir, and the money was gone. After that, you couldn't stay in my family. Now there are rumors in the city. It is said that Li Huan was the first to you that night, and no one is willing to pay eighty taels anymore. This loss should be on you. I came to ask for the account. If I don't give it to me, I will sue the official and ask Master Qingtian to make the decision."

Li You was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and even this was dependent on him.

I think about it, it really depends on him. Who made him interrupt Li Huan's courtesy and stayed in her room for a night without leaving? So I advised the officials who did not have the halo of the protagonist that the word "Beauty and Beauty" must be kept in my heart.

I can't afford to pay 80 taels of silver! Li You's eyes are about to start to get angry.

Suddenly, Sister Li Mei smiled, threw a charming look and hugged Li You's arm, and said coquettishly: "Oh, I'm wrong. I shouldn't be joking with you. Please spare my experience. If there is something wrong, I'll go back and teach you a lesson, and I'll accept it."

This is a nude hint. Sister Li Mei is really the essence of carrot and stick.

"Don't pull it in broad daylight!" Li You shook his hands, "You go back first, I'll arrive later!" While scolding himself for not being able to withstand the temptation of beauty, he thought that it would seem reasonable if she really complained, but the most important thing is that the magistrate will not favor him now... Let's go again.
