Chapter 139: Catching the Thief

Li Luan'er didn't think about why Liuwang settled the bill for her until she went home.

After explaining the matter of refining silver to Mrs. Jin, Li Luan'er still had a lot of doubts in her heart, but she was not a person who drilled the horns of the bull, even if she couldn't understand it, she didn't think about it anymore.

Back at the house, Li Luan'er sorted out the books she bought for Li Fu and packed them, so she asked someone to go to the guild hall to find the villagers in Fenghuang County, find those who were about to return to their hometowns, explain the books, and write a letter to bring back to Li Fu.

It just so happened that the fellow also had a son in his family, who was about the same age as Li Fu, and happened to be studying in the county school, and he was actually Li Fu's classmate.

also because Li Luan'er did not hide his personal interests and wrote a book list with him, the fellow was very grateful to Li Luan'er, and promised that he would hand over the letter to Li Fu.

After explaining the matter of the book clearly, Li Luan'er had nothing to do for a while, and went to Zhuangzi every few days to see the process, and by the way, she refined some silver in the evening.

Originally, Li Luan'er thought that the ancients had made silver ingots out of silver, but later learned that most of the ingot-shaped silver were official silver, with the official seal on them, and most of the folk circulation were broken silver or silver bars, and after all, this silver bar was easier to get than silver ingots, so she simply made the refined silver into this shape, and brought it back to some Mrs. Jin to store it in the treasury every few days.

Li Luan'er's life is quite leisurely, but Mrs. Jin has been busy these days, and she can't see anyone from time to time, so it was easy for Li Luan'er to rob her and ask, only to know that Mrs. Jin was busy preparing a dowry for her, and she was also busy preparing a dowry with Li Chun and the things to be used for the wedding.

For a while, Li Luan'er was a little ashamed, so she entrusted Ma Mao with the matter of going to Zhuangzi to supervise the work, and she stayed at home to write calculations with Mrs. Jin and help Mrs. Jin take care of the accounts.

However, in a few days, Mrs. Jin had already bought a lot of wood for furniture, some antique utensils, and prepared a lot of fabrics, jewelry, and other things, all of which were to be packed into Li Luan'er's dowry box.

As for the dowry to be sent to the Gu family, it is much simpler, Mrs. Jin and Li Luan'er both understand that judging from the Gu family's temperament and family background, the dowry of Mrs. Gu will definitely be extremely shabby, that is, the Li family wants to give Mrs. Gu a face, and if they send more dowries, the Gu family will definitely leave these dowries for Mrs. Gu as a dowry, and absolutely no star will be added to Mrs. Gu's dowry.

Even so, they don't want to bother to give favors to the Gu family, but it is better to give a dowry that can be seen, as for the dowry of Mrs. Gu, Li Luan'er has already been mentally prepared, she feels that it doesn't matter if there is a dowry or not, as long as Mrs. Gu marries and is good to her brother, she respects Mrs. Gu.

On this day, Li Luan'er was sorting out the wood she bought, and asked someone to inquire about which carpenter masters in Beijing had good jobs, and she saw Ma Xiaoya rushing into the door, and the smile on her face couldn't be hidden: "Big lady, happy event, great good thing." ”

Li Luan'er put down the pen and looked at Ma Xiaoya with a frown: "Be steady." ”

Ma Xiaoya stuck out her tongue and stopped, but her smile was still so bright: "Big lady, stay in the palace and send someone to make a post with the eldest lady, and stay in the princess next month to hold a flower viewing banquet, and invite the eldest lady to go." ”

Stay in the king? Stay in the king again?

Li Luan'er became even more suspicious in her heart, she and the king of Liuke had never met, why did the king of Liuke settle the bill for her and ask someone to invite her to the banquet, why is this?

"Where's the post, bring it." Li Luan'er stretched out her hand, and Ma Xiaoya hurriedly sent the post.

Li Luan'er took it and took a look, this post was also solemn, the best embossed paper was cut, folded into a letterhead, one side was dipped in gold powder with a small wolf pen to outline a peony flower, and the other side was written with the date of the banquet and a few auspicious words.

It seems that the concubine of the king attaches great importance to this banquet, but I don't know how many noble ladies and boudoir daughters are in the capital, the Li family is nothing in the capital, she Li Luan'er has no father and mother, only a brother is still white, what is there to value?

Could it be said?

Li Luan'er suddenly remembered, could it be that this king is for Li Feng'er? wants to win over the Li family to use Li Feng'er's pillow wind to seek some benefits, if this is the case, this is not a small ambition to stay in the king.

Put the post away, Li Luan'er asked Ma Xiaoya to take advantage of the fine weather to paste the soles of her shoes, she took the account and took the needle and thread to sit under the big tree in the courtyard while enjoying the shade while picking up the soles of her shoes.

This shoe is to be worn by Li Chun, it is the kind of shoe with a thousand layer soles, the soles are very thick, and the little girls are very difficult to accept, Mrs. Jin is old, and she is also weak to accept the soles, Li Luan'er's delicate work can't be done, but this soles are really a trivial matter for her.

On her strength, she took a large needle and made a few strokes on the fabric that the girls had put together, and then flew the needle and threaded, faster than sewing clothes, and after a while, a pair of soles could be accommodated, look at the needle and thread, absolutely symmetrical and fine, not sparse and just right, look at the Ma Xiaoya's eyes are dizzy: "Big lady, slave has never seen someone take the sole faster than the big lady, when the slave mother was sick before, the slave father took the sole a few times, don't look at the father is a big man's strength, but it is really not as fast as the big lady, and the big lady does it well." ”

Li Luan'er hooked her lips and smiled: "I can't do the delicate work of cutting clothes, embroidery or something, and I don't have the heart to do it. ”

While speaking, she took another pair of soles and put them aside, and Ma Xiaoya hurriedly handed over a pair: "This pair is a big lady's, you must get it right." ”

Li Luan'er had free time anyway, so she took a few more pairs, and the family almost all of them were included, and when she had lunch, she went back to the house to read the book for a while, and wrote a few big characters, and then took Ruizhu to Li Chun, took Li Chun out of the kitchen, and gave him a pen and paper to ask him to practice calligraphy.

Li Chun was also obedient, and stood obediently at the table to practice calligraphy.

Don't look at Li Chun's brain reaction slowly, but he is very skillful, although he has no style to write the word one, but the glyph is very beautiful, but it can also bluff people.

Li Luan'er looked at him for a while, occupied his head to express his satisfaction, and told a few words to leave Li Chun a task of ten words a day, so he took Ruizhu to the kitchen to cook a few dishes, and in the evening, Li Luan'er handed over the account to Mrs. Jin, and called Ma Mao to ask about the progress of the hot spring Zhuangzi, and went to bed after dinner.

She slept deeply, and did not wake up until the middle of the night because of thirst, and drank a few sips of water before she was about to fall asleep, when she heard a few exclamations, and then there were bursts of screams: "There is a thief, a thief is caught, a thief is caught......"

Li Luan'er woke up for a while, let go of her mental power to investigate, and found that it was not a thief in her yard, but she was also relieved, and when she listened to it again, she knew that the sound came from the Gu family next door.

That is, the neighbors, something happened to the Gu family, the Li family naturally wanted to go and see, otherwise it would be too indifferent, Li Luan'er thought about it while getting dressed and hurried out, as soon as she went out, she saw Mrs. Jin also dressed and came out: "Is there something wrong with the Gu family?" ”

Li Luan'er nodded, hurriedly walked a few steps, but saw Li Chun bring a few Ma Fang over, as soon as he saw Li Luan'er, Li Chun asked nervously: "Sister, are you okay?" ”

Li Luan'er smiled and comforted Li Chun: "Brother, I'm fine, it should be that something happened to the Gu family next door, you should take someone to take a look." ”

"Okay." Seeing that his sister was fine, Li Chun was also relieved, and was about to leave from the front yard with Ma Fang, Li Luan'er hurriedly dragged him over the courtyard wall where he pointed to the two houses: "Brother, get closer from here." ”

Li Chun has always been obedient to Li Luan'er, as soon as he heard Li Luan'er tell him to climb over the wall, he didn't hesitate at the moment, jumped up on tiptoe, and jumped to the courtyard wall more than three meters high.

Li Chun looked at it for a moment and jumped down directly, grabbed a nursing home and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The Gu family and the Li family had close contacts, and the nursing home naturally knew Li Chun, so he wiped his sweat and said: "Li Dalang, our master's family has been robbed, isn't this just looking for it." ”

Li Chun let go of the courtyard: "If you catch a thief, I will catch a thief too." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Gu Ming also hurrying over with someone, and Li Chun hurried over when he saw Gu Ming: "Brother Gu, I'll help you catch the thief." ”

Although Gu Ming felt that Li Chun couldn't help much, he couldn't bear to refuse because of his kindness, so he had to respond.

Li Chun did not follow those guards, but searched in the corners alone, and when he passed a piece of flowers and trees, Li Chun suddenly thought of a story that Li Luan'er had told him, and thought it was very funny, so he shouted: "Don't hide, I see you, come out." ”

After saying a few words, seeing that there was no movement, he went over to check it, and there was indeed no one, Li Chun shook his head, walked forward for a while, and continued: "Don't hide, I saw you, come out." ”

He shouted as he walked here, and when he said it, it was also the thief who was a thief and really cheated him.

The Gu family planted a lot of bamboo against the wall in a courtyard, and now it is the time when the bamboo grows the fastest, plus at night, there is almost nothing to see in a bamboo forest, Li Chun just happened to walk here, just shouted out that sentence, after speaking, he heard that there seemed to be movement in the bamboo forest, so he shouted again, and it was also the thief's deserving, at this time, he was urgent, and his heart was indeed up and down, and he didn't have time to think about it, he really thought that Li Chun saw him, and listened to Li Chun's steps getting closer and closer, crying: "I, I'm out, I... …”

When Li Chun heard this, he stepped forward along the voice, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he lifted the thief up like a little chicken, smiled, and said stupidly: "It's still my sister who is smart, and the method she teaches is really good, and it will blow up as soon as she cheats, and it will be used in the future." ”

The thief barely fainted when he heard this. RS
