Chapter 9: Night Talk

Seeing that his daughter was still reluctant, Li Shi's face had loosened, and his heart felt much better, and he hummed disdainfully: "Hmph, his family?!Is his family qualified to refuse? Your father has already inquired, the population of Kong Xiucai's family is very simple, and his father is a medicine jar, and he has not left bed for a year." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoFor the sake of his father, Kong Xiucai's things have been sold, and now he is pointing to his mother and his sister to help other people's families wash clothes and sew and mend their lives. ”

"What about Kong Xiucai's shackles?" Yuxue took advantage of the Li family's tea drinking, frowned and asked, such a family, and let her marry it, how can she live if she marries?

"Why don't you use your brains? Daddy is just a daughter like you, can you still harm you?" Li looked at Yuxue pouting, disgusted, stretched out his index finger and poked her head, and said with hatred: "That Kong Xiucai is restrained, but his father won't let him move, let him save and stay in the autumn." Kong Xiucai began to disagree, and the old man threatened him with not drinking medicine. That Kong Xiucai had to promise his father to take the exam, and he also began to study hard, so everyone said that he would definitely win. What do you think, what is the Kong Xiucai family lacking most now?"

"Money!"

"That's right, and our family happens to have money right now. After you get married, we will pay for his medicine jar dad to treat his illness, and when he is gone, we will subsidize him more. His whole family is still not grateful to our family? After you pass the door, your mother-in-law and sister-in-law still have to stammer with you? Besides, after you get married, you will be a family, and our family will help their family like this, so Kong Xiucai has to give Wenlin a good guide no matter what considerations he has.

When Wenlin has a meritorious reputation, our family will be an official eunuch. At that time, don't talk about a Kong family, just how many families in Xuzhou Mansion have to stammer you!" The more Li Shi spoke, the more proud he became, and finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Yuxue listened to Li's words, and she didn't frown anymore, and she also looked like she was smiling. The mother and daughter were happy for a while before stopping. Li Shi thought for a while and advised: "On the ninth day of the first month, follow Lan Xin to Rongfu to participate in the plum blossom banquet, but you must have a few more eyes." ”

"Mother, I don't think I'd better go. Besides, we're ······· now Do you still need to go to any banquet?" Thinking of her future life, Yuxue really didn't look down on the little plum blossom banquet.

"How can you not go?" Li's eyes rolled, and he calculated again, "You go out and walk around more, attend more banquets a few times, and know more people, so your worth will naturally be higher." Look at Lan Xin, if she hadn't befriended the girl of the Fang family, would she have the family business of the Rong family? In short, you listen to your mother, and it will not hurt you to know a few more people. ”

"But mother, if I talked to the eldest sister for so long today, the eldest sister just wouldn't pick it up at the banquet. I really don't know if she's really stupid or pretending to be stupid. Yuxue remembered Lan Xin's appearance and muttered all over the ground.

"Hmph, Lan Xin······" Li Shi just snorted, suddenly remembered something, and swallowed the words that came to his lips stiffly, "Eh, Lan Xin doesn't work there, isn't there still that idiot Zhou Yiyun?!"

Liu sent the old lady to the inner room with the maid, and the drunken and hazy old lady fell to the bed and snored. Liu smelled the smell of wine that spurted out with the old lady's breath, frowned in disgust, covered his nose with a handkerchief, and hurriedly walked out.

Green Yi was carrying a lantern for her next to her, Liu did not go back to his yard first, but went to Evian's yard first, and saw that the lights in Evian's house had been extinguished, so he told Yuan'er a few words and went back to his yard.

When Liu entered the house, he saw that Zhou Dahai had already removed his coat and was wiping his face with a wet handkerchief. Liu said hello to him and went in to wash. After Liu came out of washing, he saw Zhou Dahai wearing a middle coat, one leg hanging on the ground, the other leg on the edge of the bed, and his back against the bedpost to close his eyes and recuperate.

"Master, have you drunk too much?" Liu stood in front of the bed and asked in a low voice, seeing that Zhou Dahai didn't make a sound, he shouted again: "Master?"

"Oh, it's fine. Hurry up and go to sleep. Zhou Dahai didn't open his eyes and gave way to the side.

Liu went to bed, covered the quilt, and asked, "What is the trouble with the master?"

In the dark, Zhou Dahai didn't speak, and after a while, when Liu thought that Zhou Dahai wouldn't answer. Hearing Zhou Dahai sigh softly, "Hey, it's not the matter of the Qin Mission's reception." I've been busy for so long, I don't have a clue at all. ”

"When did you come to Xuzhou City?"

"It's hard to say, some say that it hasn't arrived yet, and some say that Qincha has already arrived in Xuzhou City. After a while, he sighed again: "Alas, it is not easy to sell our cloth and silk to other provinces through the maritime merchants of Jiangzhou. ”

"Didn't the maritime merchant reply to the letter? Or did the Rong family not do their best?" Liu knew that Zhou Dahai had asked the Rong family to help contact the maritime merchant at a certain time, and one more sales outlet would give him more income.

"Neither. Zhou Dahai didn't say the specific reason, and after being silent for a while, he changed the topic, "I have a good family affair for Evian." ”

"Oh, whose family is it?'s family background is comparable to the Shangrong family?" Liu suddenly became interested, and thought about it, "It's okay if it's not as good as the Rong family, as long as you can be with our family." ”

Zhou Dahai didn't seem to hear Liu's chatter, and said to himself: "It's Kong Hai." ”

"Who is Kong Hai?" asked Liu Shi with a frown, in the rich and noble family of Xuzhou City, I have not heard of anyone surnamed Kong.

"It's Mr. Kong, who is in the school. ”

"Ah, the poor teacher?" Liu screamed, "Master, Evian is our own daughter······!

"Shut up!" Zhou Dahai scolded dissatisfiedly, "What do you know? Mr. Kong is a person with a meritorious reputation, and after he leaves the field next fall, he will be a scholar, and after he is a scholar, he will be an official." You've been in Fucheng for so long, it's not that you don't know that there are benefits in the government?"

"That's not ·····" Liu Shi was not convinced, and wanted to say, "Isn't that Master Zhao?" Unfortunately, he was interrupted by Zhou Dahai.

"Don't think that with Master Zhao, everything will be fine. Outsiders can't always compare with their own family. Besides, if you can entrap Master Zhao, then others can't? Evian is our first child, can I not hurt her? Then Kong Hai will be an official in the future, and she will be an official's wife, better than anyone else! The Kong family is now short of silver, so we will send him silver, help his father treat his illness, and help him die. If he comes out in the future, he dares to treat Evian badly and dare to be sorry for the Zhou family, which is ungrateful. No matter how big an official you are, you have to poke your backbone. "Zhou Dahai said very clearly, that Kong Hai has to make cattle and horses for the Zhou family.

Liu also thought about it, hugged Zhou Dahai's arm, and said happily: "His father, you are still thoughtful." When the time comes, we will give Evian more things to marry, and Evian can walk sideways in the Zhou family!"

"To be a man is to take a long-term view. Zhou Dayang snorted proudly.
