Li Mei sat beside the stove, adding firewood to the stove, and said to Li Qin, who was busy cooking, "Mother, let me tell you something." ”

The little sister-in-law scooped the boiled rice into the pot, washed the pot again, put some lard, put on the green onion and ginger slices, poured the cut vegetables into the pot and stir-fried, for a while, the aroma was overflowing, she said while turning the dishes: "What's the matter?" ”

Li Mei lowered her voice: "Didn't it rain when we went to the grave of our uncle today, we took shelter from the rain in the dilapidated house at the head of the village, and met a Taoist priest, who said that he was the heir of the Zhang family in Longhu Mountain." ”

"What did he say?" Li Qinshi stopped his movements and asked nervously: "Do you mean that you have any disasters or difficulties, you kid, why don't you leave someone to ask." ”

"It's not." Li Mei hurriedly shook her head and said what Daoist Zhang said: "Sister Luan doesn't believe it, but I sound like that, mother, think about it, didn't Sister Luan not be at home when my uncle died, but Uncle Qiao gave ...... There is also the Cui family, the original surname Cui was sick and dying, as soon as Sister Luan entered the door, he was not only sick, but also took the township test and came back, and as soon as Sister Luan got married, the uncle's family was defeated, and the aunt also died of illness. ”

Li Qinshi listened, with a contemplative face: "According to what you say, it is right, it seems that Sister Luan is blessed, then, Sister Feng'er's true phoenix's life is even more amazing, what can be called a true phoenix since ancient times, but only the queen and the queen mother can be counted, even if you are a concubine or something, you don't dare to call it a phoenix, if you say so, Sister Feng will not be a queen in the future." ”

Speaking of this, she herself felt funny: "If your uncle is still alive and becomes an official, I believe this, but Sister Feng has no father and mother, and there is such a stupid brother, a sister who has been divorced, not to mention the official family, it is an ordinary family, who dares to marry her like this, this Zhenfeng's fate is not believed." ”

"How not?" Li Mei felt that her mother's words were too arbitrary: "Sister Feng is really good-looking, not to mention these ten miles and eight towns, I look at it, she is more handsome than the girls and young ladies of those big families, and I am not sure what will happen in the future." ”

"Silly girl." Li Qinshi sighed and touched Li Mei's head: "How do you know this, no matter how good your sister Feng is, but if she has no parents at home, it is unlucky, who marries such an orphan girl, alas, you are still young and don't know this, and you will understand it later." ”

Seeing that Li Mei was still looking at her, Li Qin said again: "But we would rather believe it than believe it in this matter, in the future, you will go to Sister Luan'er's house more, Sister Luan and Sister Feng are both capable and knowledgeable, that Mrs. Jin is not easy for me to look at, you have more dealings with them, you have your own benefits." ”

"Mother, I see." Li Mei obediently agreed, continued to pull the bellows, Li Qin turned around and turned the dish a few times before putting it in the basin, and asked Li Mei to wash her hands and call her brother and father to eat.

At night, Li Qin's and her husband, Li Luan'er's uncle Li Lianshu told the day's events, Li Lianshu sat up and thought for a long time without saying a word, and then asked Li Qin's family to take care of the Li family brothers and sisters.

On the second day, the couple got up early, Li Qin took out the new clothes that had been made a few days ago, asked Li Fu to come over and put them on, and brought a clean set of clothes for Li Lianshu, and then found out all the silver saved at home for Li Lianshu to pack, and then sent them out.

Li Lianshu took Li Fu to the county seat on foot, first went to the county school, and asked Mr. to meet him.

Coincidentally, the mountain chief of this county school studied with Li Luan'er's father Li Lianhe, but he had some friendship, and he met Li Fu, learned about the relationship between each other, and took care of him, first let Li Fu write an article, and asked a few questions, seeing that although he was older, but fortunately, his qualifications were good, he was loyal and honest, and his manners were also elegant.

After some examination, the mountain chief nodded with satisfaction, and decided to leave Li Fu on the spot.

Li Lianshu was overjoyed when he watched it from the sidelines, and thanked Li Luan'er in his heart.

If it weren't for Li Luan'er's teaching for so many days, where would Li Fu be able to read so many words, let alone write poetry, even if he couldn't write all the words, look at Li Fu's words, and then think about the crooked words he wrote before, how could Li Lianshu not know that in this word, Li Luan'er was painstaking, so he decided to take care of the Li family brothers and sisters no matter what happens in the future.

When Li Fu paid the tuition fee for the county school and bought some paper, seeing that it was about to be noon, Li Lianshu thought that Mr. Wen, the mountain chief, was a kind person, and he had a friendship with his brother, so he would have to trouble others in the future, so he found Mr. Wen and asked him to invite him to dinner.

Mr. Wen refused, and thought that there was a friendship with Lianhe, even if he ate a meal, there was nothing, if he felt that he didn't want to go, he would have to make up for it on Li Fu in the future.

Li Lianshu brought enough money to the city this time, but he didn't dare to go to Tongfu Building, the most upscale building in the county, so he took Mr. Wen to Juxian Building.

The dishes of this Juxian Building are good, but in the end they are not as rich as Fulou, first of all, the area is a lot smaller, and the chef is not as good as the Fulou, so the money for this dish is a lot cheaper.

Li Lianshu and the three of them entered the Juxian Building, Li Lianshu thought that Mr. Wen was a literati and could not dine with those rough people in the hall, so he asked for a small private room on the second floor.

After sitting down, Li Lianshu asked Mr. Wen to order, and Mr. Wen saw that Li Lianshu's father and son were not rich, so he didn't order those valuables, but only said that he liked to eat light food these days, so he ordered two cheap vegetarian dishes.

Li Lianshu couldn't help it, so he ordered two meat dishes and a soup, made up four dishes and one soup, and ordered soup cakes on the staple food.

After a while, the dish came up, Li Lianshu and Mr. Wen pushed the chopsticks to move, and after eating two bites of the dish, they heard someone next door inviting guests to sit at the table, and Li Lianshu didn't pay much attention to it, and then heard one of them: "This little slut of the Li family is really excessive." ”

Because his surname was Li, he listened attentively.

Listen to another person: "It's just a little cheap billet, to pinch her to death is not like pinching an ant to death, is it worth such effort by Steward Wu?" ”

"Brother Xing doesn't know." The original person, who should be the housekeeper surnamed Wu, said: "This little slut surnamed Li was originally divorced by the Cui family, only she has a good face, plus there is a long-lasting girl in the family, this Cui family's son is a little uncontrollable, and she has a lot of dealings, and often helps, if we come to the door to find trouble, or do things absolutely nothing, our girl has not married into the Cui family, in case the Cui family turns their faces because of this, it is a little bad." ”

Another surnamed Xing said with a smile: "What's this, if you can't do it, you will come to the dark, I also heard that the two little ladies of the Li family are good-looking, Steward Wu, I will make an idea with you." ”

When Li Lianshu heard this, he didn't know that these two people were beating Li Luan'er's sisters, so he didn't eat vegetables at the moment, and carefully went over and leaned his ears to the wall to listen carefully.

Mr. Wen also put down his chopsticks, and his face darkened.

Even Li Fu clenched his fists with a look of resentment.

I heard that the Li family has more than a dozen acres of land, and it should be a servitude, that Li Chun is a fool, and his body is not good, and he is the only man in the Li family, he must go, and the little lady of the Li family is naturally unwilling to let his brother go, and he should pay silver instead, when the time comes, let's take a look and find an excuse to only let him serve, then the little lady of the Li family must be in a hurry, It's really at that point, and it's not up to us to handle it. ”

Steward Wu laughed when he heard this: "Brother Xing, there is really you, no one can compare to you in this yin idea." ”

He lowered his voice again: "No one in the Li family cares about them, and when the time comes, it won't be up to us to knead them, the two beautiful little ladies of the Li family, one by one, so ......."

As they spoke, the two of them laughed lewdly, and Li Lianshu's face turned black when he listened.
