Lao Xue originally didn't plan to stay away from Bi Yuan, he thought that he was getting older, and he finally found his son, no matter what, he had to cherish this time when father and son got together.

After all, when people are old, they can't be sure when they will be gone.

However, when Xue Jian proposed to let him go to Nanzhili, Lao Xue thought about it and finally agreed to this errand. He knew that Xue Jian would not labor him unless necessary.

This errand was also easy for Lao Xue. It's just that I went to the Li family to keep an eye on it and make sure that Xie Liangqing was okay, and it didn't take much effort. But Lao Xue was still thinking about Bi Yuan in the end, so he thought about going to see him. Although he hadn't been in contact for a long time, Lao Xue had already figured out Bi Yuan's temperament. The boy had been in the mountains for a long time, and no one had spoken to him, so he was a little wooden. But this kind of unexpressive appearance did not hide the enthusiasm and kindness in his heart.

The two of them are on errands in different houses, and they usually don't see each other. But Xue Jian usually doesn't ask Lao Xue to do anything, relatively speaking, Lao Xue is still a little empty. After he dealt with some trivial matters in the Hou Mansion, he would ponder bringing some things to the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and meet Bi Yuan in the name of sending things.

And Bi Yuan, a few days after Lao Xue went, would also ask someone to bring some of his own rewards or game to Lao Xue.

Lao Xue always rubbed those things over and over again, reluctant to use them. Until one day Xue Jian said that if those wild meats were not eaten fresh, they would not be wasted in vain. Lao Xue put away his thoughts, boiled the game, and asked the people in the mansion to share it and eat it together. Whenever they were eating, they would listen to him say to them with great pride, "This is what my son has given me." ”

This time, it may be the last time I will go far away. Lao Xue thought about going to see Bi Yuan before leaving Beijing. It's just that when he carried things into the eldest princess's mansion, he was stopped by the porter.

Lao Xue has been here too many times, and the porter is no longer familiar with him, knowing that he is the father of Mr. Bi in the house. Mr. Bi is now winning the favor of the eldest princess and the little son, how can he leave three points of face. But not today.

The porter frowned and said, "Old Master Xue, it's really not a coincidence today. ”

Lao Xue took out some broken silver from his pocket, stuffed it into the concierge's hand, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The porter refused a few times, but he couldn't stand it, and finally accepted Lao Xue's money. He said with a bitter face: "Today, Mr. Bi and the little boy went hunting in the suburbs, saying that they would stay in Beizhuang for a few days and come back. You, this time it's a wasted run. ”

"That's right." Lao Xue couldn't see his son, so he was naturally disappointed. But the errand was important, so he didn't think much of it. He arched his hand towards the porter, "There is labor, there is labor." ”

Lao Xue handed the things in his hand to the porter, "Brother Lao is tired of waiting for my son to come back, and then hand this thing to him for me." Let's just say I have to go to the door, and I won't be back for a few days. If there is anything, let him go to the Marquis of Yunyang's mansion, and anyone can bring me the letter. ”

The porter took the well-wrapped gift and said with a smile: "Old Master Xue, don't worry, I will help you bring the words and things." ”

"Oh, thank you."

Lao Xue went down the steps, reluctantly turned around, and looked at the gate of the eldest princess's mansion again. After a while, he turned around and walked away.

The porter kept guarding Lao Xue at the door before turning back. He sent the things all the way to Bi Yuan, who was recuperating from his injuries in the mansion, "Old Xue Ye said, will he not be in the capital these days, if Mr. Bi has something to do, just go to the Yunyang Hou Mansion and ask someone to trust him." As if remembering something, he waved his hand again and again, "Mr. Bi, don't worry, I didn't miss half a word." According to the instructions of the eldest princess and the little prince, I only said that the gentleman took the little prince to hunt in the suburbs of Beijing. Old Xue Ye didn't ask the side. ”

Bi Yuan took the things and arched his hand towards the gatehouse, "I'm tired of you." ”

He had inconvenient legs and feet, and he couldn't get out of bed so far, so he pointed to a cabinet, "Little brother can bring a can of wine back in the cabinet, thank you." ”

The porter knew that Bi Yuan's wine here was given by He'an and Yang Xingze, and it would not be bad. As soon as he heard that he could hold an altar, he immediately smiled.

"Then you're welcome." He opened the cabinet, spit a little into the palm of his hand, rubbed it, and chose for a long time before finally choosing an altar that he was satisfied with. Before leaving, he held the wine jar and gestured to Bi Yuan, "Thank you, Mr. Bi." ”

Bi Yuan smiled at him. When the others left, Bi Yuan was alone in the house, and the smile on his face collapsed.

Are you too unfilial? It seems to be more tormenting than letting his father know that he was injured and telling him to go far away at a young age.

Although Bi Yuan knew about Xue Jian, he knew that he would not let Lao Xue do anything dangerous. Since the last time Lao Xue was injured in chasing the assassin, Xue Jian was scared a lot, and he no longer dared to ask Lao Xue to do other things. I'm afraid that his honest nature will put him in. Even so, Bi Yuan still had some complaints about Xue Jian in his heart. How many things can't be done by Lao Xue? I just picked a bad thing to go out.

Bi Yuan scratched his head, a little embarrassed. He slammed his forehead and made a very loud sound. Obviously, he asked Xue Jian by himself, why is he blaming others now? Think about it from Xue Jian's point of view, if you really ask your father to stay in the capital, no matter what the excuse, it will be useless to delay it for a long time. With Lao Xue's dedication to himself, he may not break into the eldest princess's mansion at night when he is really unsightly.

When Lao Xue was young, he was a good hand at flying eaves and walls. How many young people in the Yunyang Marquis Mansion were instructed by Lao Xue. When Bi Yuan was occasionally free, he was also invited by some people in the Yunyang Marquis Mansion to attend their extra-mansion gatherings. Although they are all ordinary drinking and farting, Bi Yuan has never had such an experience, and he feels very fresh. I don't know if they are intentional or unintentional, they will always mention Lao Xue's past and talk about Lao Xue's demeanor back then.

That was the past of Lao Xue that Bi Yuan had never touched. From his deceased mother, he always heard bad things about his father. But as a boy, he always had an instinctive admiration for his father. On countless occasions when he went hunting alone in the mountains, he often secretly told himself that his father would not be as unbearable as his mother said. Otherwise, how could his mother, who was so powerful in his heart, be willing to commit herself to him and give birth to herself desperately?

The more I listened to those things, the more I felt that Lao Xue was powerful.

But this kind of power, when you don't want to touch it, becomes a problem.

Bi Yuan is contradictory to Lao Xue. He wanted to see Lao Xue's ability, but he was afraid that after Lao Xue knew that he was injured, he would ask how he was injured, and then complain about Yang Xingze. Bi Yuan is still very satisfied with Yang Xingze, an apprentice who is not an apprentice. Although he is a little naughty, his heart is good. That's enough.

How many people wear a gentleman's skin, but they do all the dirty things in private.

In the past, Bi Yuan would occasionally go out to the mountains and sell the animal skins he had saved in exchange for some silver or necessities. This is even more frequent in the later stages after the mother is seriously ill. Although he has not dealt with many people, Bi Yuan also understands that not everyone outside is kind. There are also people who deliberately lower the price by looking for flaws in animal skins, and there are also people who run away directly after grabbing the skins.

Compared with those who make themselves suffer, Bi Yuan can greatly tolerate what Yang Xingze did to him.

What's more, Princess He'an is also very good to him.

Bi Yuan considers himself a grateful person. He didn't want Lao Xue to have any complaints about Yang Xingze, and even persuaded himself to leave the Eldest Princess's Mansion. He was content with the status quo of self-reliance. Moreover, he was not ready to meet Lao Xue from time to time.

Bi Yuan rubbed his forehead, which was hurt by himself, and said in his heart, I don't know if my father is safe on the road, and whether this errand is troublesome. When my father comes back, I will make amends to him.

failed to see his son, and the regret in Lao Xue's heart is needless to say. But when it comes to errands, Lao Xue has always been serious, otherwise he wouldn't have risked his life to chase the assassin last time. Xue Jian gave him enough silver before he left, and Old Xue said with a smile that the money was enough for him to sneak away to the homeless gathering place in the frontier to become a rich man.

That being said, Lao Xue is still quite frugal. He bargained with the owner of the carriage shop for a long time, and finally rented a simple carriage at a very low price. And hired another mute—a man who was not very clever, but who was tight enough to speak. And it's cheap enough.

Only bring a change of clothes, and the one next to you should not be brought. Lao Xue simply drove towards Nanzhili.

The road from the capital to the south of Zhili is not far away, but it will take a few days. Lao Xue took advantage of the idle time of the past few days to sort out the good news he had inquired about before.

The small carriage was full of messages that Lao Xue had sorted out and transcribed.

Although he had memorized the things on the paper, Lao Xue still carefully read them one by one, for fear that he would make an omission. After waiting for a while, Lao Xue pursed his mouth, crossed his hands in his sleeves, and shook his head constantly.

This Li family is not a good family, this beating of wives and torturing daughters-in-law is an ordinary thing in the family. From the number of three generations of the Li family in this generation, there is no Li family member who has not died a daughter-in-law. How could the Xie family agree to marry their daughter? Fold one doesn't count, and send the second one over.

Lao Xue couldn't figure it out. No matter how much ordinary people like their sons and ignore their daughters, they never push their daughters into the fire pit.

In order to better understand the situation, Lao Xue even went to inquire about the eldest lady's maiden family, the Wei family. It is said that the Wei family attaches great importance to their daughter, and they will never develop the temperament of throwing their daughter aside. The one who broke first was still Wei's daughter, and now this one is hers again.

I don't know what this mother thinks in her heart. The Wei family didn't stop her? Just watching her granddaughter go to her death?

The partial-born Li family hurts their daughter very much. Don't say that it's the husband's family to touch it, but the mother-in-law asked her to set up a rule, and said that the next day, no matter how late it is, the family will come to the door together to ask for an explanation.

I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out. As the saying goes, don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself, why can't the Li family understand this truth.

Lao Xue smacked his lips a few times, put away his thoughts, and put away the paper that had been spread out again. No matter what people think, the errand given to him by Xue Jian still has to be completed. Anyway, I'm just staring at it for a few days, and as long as nothing big happens, I can go back.

Maybe the Li family suddenly opened their brains, and when they knew that Miss Xie Er was good, they changed their temperament.

Although he felt that this possibility was too low, Lao Xue still hoped so. No one wants others to have a bad life, unless they have a great enmity with themselves.

The mute coachman could not speak, but he was a good driver. Except for the bumps in the carriage that led him because of the uneven road, he took great care of Lao Xue along the way. It's probably because Lao Xue is old, the car is very stable, and it doesn't delay the road.

Lao Xue was very satisfied with the coachman he chose, not to mention how proud he was. In the end, it's still accurate enough for my own vision. He thought that when the matter was over, he would give the coachman more money, after all, it was not easy for people to travel all the way.

It didn't take many days on the road to reach the boundary of Nanzhili.

Looking at the road sign of Nanzhili, the dumb coachman was very happy. Send people safely and safely, and their own money will be indispensable, not to mention that this time the guest looks at him and is a good talker, and he will never find some small things to bully himself and forcibly lower the price. Not being able to speak is really enough of suffering, and there is nowhere to say if you are reasonable. But in life, there will always be such and such difficulties.

The mute coachman happily helped Lao Xue out of the car, nodded and waited for Lao Xue to give him money.

Lao Xue glanced at him with a smile, and counted a few pieces of silver from the money bag. Before he could hand it out, he withdrew his hand again.

The smile on the mute coachman's face froze. I didn't expect this old man to be even more stingy than those who were younger. With a sad face, he thought, probably this time he will have to be deducted half of the price.

The smile on Lao Xue's face became more and more vigorous. He counted the same pieces of silver out of his purse and put them in the hand of the mute coachman. "Be careful on the way back. If you don't want to go back empty, go up to the north and take a look, there will be a lot of people waiting for the bus to go to the capital. ”

The dumb coachman couldn't speak, only wiped his tears and kept nodding his head to thank Lao Xue.

Lao Xue saw that he was as he said, and drove to Beicheng, nodded, and went to Li's house.

Naturally, he would not go directly to the Li family, but wanted to see what the Li family's position was like. In the end, the ordinary map is still a little rougher, and it can't be compared with the kind of map that fought with the army. So Lao Xue decided to go and see for himself.

The Li family is a big family in Nanzhili, and some people in the family are officials, and some people use their official power to do business locally. Normally, no one would think of the trouble of going to the Li family, and they would not be able to go to prison before their affairs were resolved.

It is precisely because of this that the Li family, which is uncontrolled, has become arrogant day by day in this Nanzhili.

This kind of head snake has also been seen in the place where Lao Xue is beside him. But he never thought that in this Zhili, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are also such short-sighted people. I don't want to think about it, if one day I listen to heaven and send an iron-faced and selfless Bao Qingtian, the family will suffer.

No matter how powerful your official is, no matter how much money you have. There are always people who don't eat this set. At that time, a holy decree will come down and enforce the law impartially, and the current one will not be empty.

Lao Xue circled around the Li family with his hands behind his back, and then smiled and planned to leave.

At this time, there was a little girl dressed as a maid, wiping the tears on her face and knocking out the side door.

Lao Xue raised his eyebrows slightly and followed quietly.

The maid carried a small basket covered with a patch of blue calico that could be seen everywhere, and it was impossible to see what was inside. Lao Xue originally thought that this was a maid who came out to buy things after being scolded by his master. Unexpectedly, he followed, but saw that the maid entered the pawnshop without stopping.

Lao Xue naturally followed into the pawnshop. However, he couldn't directly stick to the little girl to see what they were going to do, so he found a guy to ask.

"What is there in your pawnshop that is worth buying?" Lao Xue asked, looking at the maid with his eyes, "I just moved here today, and I still have a lot of things to buy at home, if you have any worthwhile goods here, you might as well tell me." ”

When business comes to the door, the guy is naturally happy, "This man, what do you want?" Furniture? Looking for a home? We have a lot of people here who should come in, and I can assure you that everything is a good thing. You can rest assured. ”

Lao Xue nodded, "You go and bring me the booklet, I'll pick some." ”

"Okay, sir, wait a minute, I'll go and bring it to you."

Lao Xue responded casually, and continued to pay attention to the movement of the maid.

The counter of the pawnshop was extremely high, and the maid was so small that she couldn't see the top of the counter when she looked up. Lao Xue saw her pinching the blue calico covering the basket, hesitated for a while before opening it, and took a multi-treasure hairpin from it.

Because it was a little far away, Lao Xue couldn't see what it was like for a while, and only glanced at it vaguely. He felt a little strange in his heart, as if he had seen a similar style somewhere.

"Look at how much this hairpin can cost." The maid struggled to raise the hairpin so that the guy behind the counter could see it clearly.

The man went to get the hairpin through a piece of red cotton cloth, looked at it carefully, and asked the maid, "This is what your master asked you to take out?" ”

The maid wiped her tears and stomped her feet, "Could it be that you can still make me steal?" ”

The guy waved his hand again and again and said, "This hairpin has the seal of the palace, don't I feel at ease." If your master lets you do it, we don't dare to give it lightly. ”

The maid bit her lip and stomped her foot in a hurry, "I'm begging you, I'll pay it quickly." My master is still waiting for money to buy medicine. ”

The man hesitated for a moment and asked the maid to wait for a while, "I'll go to our shopkeeper, I can't be the master of this matter." ”

"Hurry up, I'm really in a hurry."

Lao Xue waited for the guy to leave, then slowly walked up and asked the maid, "Little girl, whose girl are you?" Why is this imperial hairpin willing to take it out? ”

The maid looked at Lao Xue vigilantly, tilted her head to the side and did not answer.

Lao Xue saw that she was extremely distrustful of herself, so she didn't ask anymore, just caged her sleeves, and waited for the pawnshop to give her an answer.

The guy came back not long after, and returned the hairpin to the maid, "I'm sorry, you can change to another house, this dang, we can't take it." ”

The little maid hurriedly said: "Please, I don't ask for a high price, as long as I am willing to give it." ”

The guy shook his head, threw the hairpin on the counter, and ignored her again.

The maid bit her mouth very reluctantly, stretched out her hand, and tried to take the hairpin back, but she couldn't reach it.

Lao Xue helped her at this time and took down the hairpin. When the hairpin was in his hand, Lao Xue recognized the hairpin.

Xue Jian's wife who has not passed through the door, won't the future Mrs. Yunyang Hou have similar roots?

Lao Xue remembered that Xie Liangying also wore it when he went to Xue Jian Biezhuang to practice equestrianism before the autumn horse race.

The maid from the Li family has a hairpin similar to Xie Liangying's in her hand. Lao Xue was almost certain that this was Xie Liangqing's thing.

The little maid saw that Lao Xue had been pinching and refused to return it to herself, and thought that he wanted to run away with something like this, so she hurriedly snatched it and turned around and left.

Lao Xue, who came back to his senses, caught up with him in a few steps and stopped him, and the little maid saw Xue Jian stopping her, so she hurriedly took a few steps back and stared at him with disbelief.

"Little girl, would you like to sell me this hairpin?" Lao Xue took out a few silver tickets from his money bag, "I see that this hairpin is very beautiful, and I want to buy it back to please my old woman." ”

The maid's eyes lit up, and those silver tickets were much higher than the price she wanted to be. She also listened to the pawnshop just now, and knew that Lao Xue had just moved to Nanzhili, and it was normal to look at her eyes. Thinking about the one in the house who was still waiting for medicine, the maid stomped her foot, "It's done." ”

But she still couldn't believe Lao Xue, so she pulled him and said, "You have to accompany me to exchange the silver ticket into cash, so that I can give you the hairpin." ”

"Done!" Lao Xue readily agreed.

The two of them went into the bank, and did not exchange all the silver bills into silver—how heavy it was, but only a part of it.

The little maid was thoughtful, for fear that Lao Xue and the people from the money village knew each other. She specially pinched the silver ticket and pretended to leave, then pinched the silver ticket and went in, asked different guys, and made sure that she could redeem it in the future, so she gave the hairpin in her hand to Lao Xue.

The little maid collected the money and said embarrassedly: "The old man is really sorry, I ...... it"

Lao Xue waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care. He asked, "Which one in the house is sick?" Although Xiao Lao'er said that he went to Nanzhili, he had a few familiar doctors here. If we can meet, it can be regarded as fate. If you have any difficulties, why not tell me? ”

The little girl's vigilance dissipated with Lao Xue's real money. She said with tears: "It's my wife who is sick." The old lady refused to show her a doctor, nor did she pay for medicine. I really had no choice but to come out with something. ”

Lao Xue sighed in his heart, and his heart was not good. He asked, "What is your wife's disease?" ”

The maid wiped away the tears she had just shed, "Madame had a miscarriage a few days ago. The old lady refused to even call a midwife, and blamed the lady for losing her golden grandson. Obviously, it was the child who she asked Mrs. to make rules, but when she turned her head, she pushed everything on Mrs. ”

Lao Xue frowned, as if his daughter had suffered such a catastrophe. "I've heard that a woman's miscarriage can be very damaging to the body." He took out another silver ticket of one hundred taels from his money bag and stuffed it into the little maid's hand, "You take it, buy something for your wife to make up for her body." ”

The maid originally wanted to refuse, but thinking of Mrs. Li's face, she felt that Xie Liangqing might not be able to eat anything good after her body eased up. She had the courage to accept the silver ticket and looked at Lao Xue seriously, "Uncle, you are so good." Can you tell me where your new house is? When I look back, my wife will come to the door to thank her when she is well. She raised the silver money in her hand, "The money is not for nothing, my wife's maiden family is a big official in Beijing, and when she is well, her mother's family will send the money." ”

Lao Xue smiled: "I live next to the Li family, and the third room in the Su family's alley is it." Neither will I ask you to return my money. I have no children or daughters under my knees, and it would make me happy if I could come and see them often. ”

The maid read the address of Lao Xue's newspaper back and forth in her mouth a few times, and after making sure that she remembered it, she smiled at Lao Xue, "Uncle, I can remember it, and I will never forget it." You can rest assured that we will pay back the money when the time comes. She saluted Lao Xue, "Don't thank you, I'm still in a hurry to grab the medicine, so don't say goodbye." When the lady is better in a few days, she will come to the house. ”

Lao Xue nodded, urging the maid to hurry up and grab the medicine. When the people left, the smile on their faces was gone.

Come out? I'm afraid that Old Madam Li won't let Xie Liangqing out of the house at all. Where would such a mean old lady let Xie Liangqing get out of her control, in case Xie Liangqing, who couldn't stand the torture, ran away. Then where does the Li family want their daughter-in-law to go?

The Xie family is afraid that they will not send them another one. The entire Nan Zhili is also well known about his family's abuse of his daughter-in-law, which daughter is willing to risk her life. I'm afraid I can only go to other places to buy one and come back, but I'm afraid that the Li family won't be able to look down on it.

Lao Xue slowly walked towards Sujia Hutong, where he saw a house for sale.

However, this time the Li family still kept their hands, probably because the girl from the Xie family was tortured to death, so this time it was somewhat restrained.

But the dog still can't change □□.

When Lao Xue passed by the door of Li's house, he spat at their door with disdain.

The porter immediately chased him out, pointed at Lao Xue's nose, and shouted, "Dead old man!" What do you do? ”

Lao Xue turned his head to look at them indifferently, and said nonchalantly: "What? Are you old, your throat is uncomfortable, and you are not allowed to spit? ”

The porter said angrily: "Don't look at whose house it is, you dare to spit at the gate of the people?" He pointed to the plaque of the Li family, "Do you know the Li character on it?!" ”

Lao Xue squinted, stared at the door plaque for a long time, and shook his head, "I can't see clearly, this word is too small." He shook his head and walked forward, saying, "Well, that's not good at people. When you get older, you can't do anything. ”

When the porter saw that he was leaving, he refused to give up, and he was about to arrest Lao Xue when he went up.

Lao Xue's ears moved, and he heard the sound behind him. He moved under his feet and flashed over, just in time to make the porter fall and eat.

Looking at the porter with sand in his mouth, Lao Xue looked pityful, "Obviously, he is still a young man, why is he just like me, the old man, and the road is not good." ”

The porter felt that he had fallen to the ground inexplicably, obviously he hadn't done anything, and he didn't catch it, but he fell into his body. He looked at Lao Xue suspiciously, could this old man be a traitor? He let him fall?

Lao Xue smiled, looked coldly at the porter who had not gotten up on the ground for a long time, and continued to walk his own way.

The medicinal powder sent by Imperial Doctor Cai is really useful. You don't have to do anything yourself, and you can't get up on your own.

It seems that if you offend anyone, you can't offend the doctor.

Lao Xue pushed away the house in the Su family's alley, "Master, dare to ask if this house is going to be sold?" ”

A middle-aged man who was busy moving things inside heard Lao Xue's voice come out, he looked Lao Xue up and down, and nodded, "Yes, it will be sold here." But I didn't believe that Lao Xue would buy this house in my heart.

Because this house is next to the Li family, the asking price is not low. The most expensive residence in Nanzhili is near the Li family, everyone knows that it is beneficial to have the Li family, and it is good to live closer, and it is good to be able to look up and see each other every day.

Lao Xue is dressed in a simple dress, and he doesn't look like a person who can get money.

However, the owner of this family was in a hurry to use the money, otherwise he would not have sold the house, so he hesitated for a moment and took the initiative to report the price lower. "Old man, look...... Five thousand taels of silver, is it appropriate? ”

Lao Xue's face was not red, and he took out the silver ticket from the money bag, counted out five thousand taels, and shook it in front of the master's house, "Cash, is it feasible?" ”

"Okay, okay, okay!" The host took the silver ticket, and his face immediately jumped with joy.

It's really unseemly, such an inconspicuous-looking old man can come up with so much money with him.

The master was afraid that Lao Xue would regret it, so he hurriedly dragged him to the yamen to go through the formalities. It wasn't until he got the deed that he was really relieved.

"Old man, do you still need someone to be by?" The host accompanied Lao Xue to go back and took the initiative to talk to him. Those who can come up with so much money without hesitation at once must be doing big business. If you can get in touch with such a person, then you can probably get a piece of the pie.

Lao Xue shook his head, "I don't need anything on the side, it's just that I can't prepare the furniture for a while." Dare to ask the master's family, can you keep some unwanted things, and sell them to me. Well, I'll give you some more. ”

The owner of this house wants to have a relationship with Lao Xue, and the majority of the money from the sale of the house has already been obtained, so he naturally doesn't care about such small profits. "Since the old people are in need, then I will keep some. It's also inconvenient to carry it on the road. He peeked at Lao Xue's expression, "Dare to ask...... What do the elderly do? ”

Lao Xue didn't leak, "It's just doing something to make a living, these are the old books I have saved for the rest of my life." It's just that I want to find a place with beautiful scenery and outstanding people to support myself. ”

The host accompanied Lao Xue to laugh, but he didn't believe his words at all. But they had only just met for the first time, and they didn't want to tell themselves that it was normal.

Who wants to sue anyone for a money-making deal? If there are more people doing it, it will naturally not make money. Just look at the Li family, how many livelihoods they hold in the palm of their hands, and no one else is allowed to touch it. How many things in Nanzhili are the price set by the Li family, and how much silver they say, that is, how much silver.

The owner rolled his eyes and wanted to sell it to Lao Xue. He knew that people like Lao Xue who had worked all their lives would not be idle when they were old, so they had to find something to do. Since Lao Xue used to be in business, when he arrived in Nanzhili, he would also do business.

"Old man, I won't tell you." The master's mouth was angry in the direction of the Li family, and his voice was extremely low, "Our Nanzhili, some businesses are not touchable. Otherwise, if you open a shop today, someone will smash it for you tomorrow. If you want to do business, you have to inquire carefully. ”

Lao Xue thanked the master, "Thank you, I'm new here, and I don't know anything yet." He looked puzzled, "It's just that I don't know, why is there no obstacle in other places, but this Nan Zhili?" ”

Seeing that Lao Xue was interested, the host opened the conversation, "This place is different from the place next to it." The Li family is because of the mother, I heard that they are very favored in the palace, and the news that came a few days ago was that they were pregnant with a dragon. After a few days, giving birth to a prince and grandson, wouldn't it be a great addition to the ancestors? ”

"In addition to that niangniang, the Li family also became in-laws with the big officials in Beijing. If you want me to say, that big official is really not a human being. A girl has died in this first, why did you send another girl over? I didn't come to Nanzhili to inquire before I got married, this Li family treats their daughter-in-law, which is notoriously bad. The host paused, "Old man, you don't have a daughter, do you?" If there is, don't let those boys of the Li family see it. Otherwise, you'd have fallen into a wolf's den. ”

Lao Xue raised his eyebrows, "Am I unwilling, they still can't rob it?" ”

"Robbed?" The host sneered, "Directly put the old man in prison, and the girl is not allowed to come to the door to beg grandpa to sue grandma?" The dozen or so concubines of the old lady of the Li family all came here like this. ”
