Chapter 28 Examination
Looking at Li Luan'er now, it seems to be a martial artist, which seems quite unreasonable, but before the end of the world, Li Luan'er was a famous talented woman.
She is from a scholarly family, her grandparents are professors of the Chinese Department of famous universities, and her maternal grandfather and grandfather are officials of the former Qing Dynasty, it is said that her great-grandfather is also the last Jinshi of the Qing Dynasty, so Li Luaner is very proficient in calligraphy, and the Four Books and Five Classics can also be said to be twisted by hand, plus she has lived for many years in that era of information explosion, and her literary style is only stronger than the original.
Later, Li Luan'er experienced the end of the world and developed the ability of the spiritual department, and her memory is even better and amazing, which can be said to be unforgettable, ten lines at a glance, and those knowledge from elementary school are even more memorable.
It can be said that now let Li Luan'er take the Xiucai exam, not to mention that she can pass the exam even if she reads a few books, let alone teach Li Fu an illiterate male baby, Li Luan'er is very confident in teaching Li Fu, but what is lacking is that she doesn't know what Li Fu's temperament is.
Not to mention how Li Luan'er and Li Feng'er discussed Li Fu's affairs, just say that in the evening, two big cars stopped at the gate of the Li family, and Steward Zhou got down from the first car and knocked on the door of the Li family.
Li Luan'er heard a movement at the door, looked at the time, and knew in her heart, thinking that it was someone from the Yan family who came.
She walked quickly to open the door, and as soon as the door opened, she saw the smiling face of Steward Zhou, Li Luan'er hurriedly welcomed Steward Zhou and the people who drove the car into the house, and asked Li Feng'er to boil water to make tea.
After a while, Li Feng'er came over with a teapot and a teacup, and smiled at Steward Zhou: "We don't have any good tea at home, these teas are wild teas picked from the mountains, don't mention them on the side, just the same, you can taste it." ”
Steward Zhou took the teacup and looked down, but saw that this tea was different from the group tea that he ate on weekdays, it was actually the roots of the green branches and green leaves, just like the buds of the branches.
Putting it to his lips and tasting it, Steward Zhou immediately liked the taste of this tea.
"Little lady, is there any tea here, and if so, how about selling it to Zhou?" After drinking a cup of tea, Steward Zhou felt very comfortable, so he looked at Li Luan'er and asked.
He had already seen that this family should be owned by Li Luan'er.
Li Luan'er smiled: "Where can I say a buy word, it's rare that you like it, and I will give you some, but there is not much tea here, if it is more, we are happy to give you ten catties and eight catties." ”
She was talking here, and Li Feng'er had already wrapped a bag of tea and handed it over: "Steward Zhou, you take it." ”
Steward Zhou didn't say anything about giving money, put the tea bag away, and asked Li Luan'er to take him to see the black bear, the two entered the firewood room one after the other, and Steward Zhou was surprised when he saw the black bear thrown on the ground: "This bear is a little bigger." ”
Looking at the wild boar next to the black bear, he was even more surprised: "I have lived for such a long time, and I have never seen such a big wild boar." ”
As he spoke, Steward Zhou looked back at Li Luan'er: "Big lady, how do you want to sell the prey, do you want to weigh two catties or negotiate the price directly." ”
Li Luan'er said coolly: "I can trust you, besides, what kind of family is the Yan family, naturally they will not make us ordinary people suffer, you can look at it, where to count it by two catties, it is really troublesome." ”
Steward Zhou smiled when he heard this: "Even if the eldest lady can trust Zhou, then I can say, it is early spring, this bear skin is not very good, far from the price difference in early winter, it is a bear paw, because I am hungry for a winter, it is not fat, and the money is also worse, I will calculate with you, this black bear can only be sold for a hundred and ten taels of silver, only this black bear is big, and it is rare to have such a large bear skin, so it is counted more, how about one hundred and eighty taels of silver?" ”
Li Luan'er nodded: "We don't know the market, you always said the price, so let's do it." ”
Steward Zhou looked at the wild boar again: "This wild boar is not bad, I see how there are three or four hundred catties, now a catty of wild boar on the market is about thirty yuan, this pig is calculated according to four hundred catties, that is, twelve taels of silver, how about me and you fifteen taels of silver?" ”
"Yes, that's it." Li Luan'er smiled: "You are a happy person, and we don't want to grind, so let's set the price." ”
In the end, Steward Zhou asked someone to load the black bear and wild boar into the car, and actually gave Li Luan'er 200 taels of silver, which made Li Luan'er happy, and Li Feng'er was even more happy.
Sending away Steward Zhou and his party, Li Luan'er closed the door and called Li Feng'er back to the house to settle the accounts.
A few days ago, the tiger that was sold to the Yan family got more than 200 taels of silver, and these days they are buying books, medicinal materials and food, and now there are only 150 taels left, plus the skins and game that Li Luan'er has sold these days, and also got about ten taels of silver, plus the sons and brothers rescued by Li Luan'er yesterday, they got about fifty or sixty taels of scattered silver, so it adds up to two hundred and twenty taels.
Today, Steward Zhou sent these two hundred taels of silver, which actually brought the Li family's silver to more than four hundred taels, which is really ......
The more Li Feng'er managed, the more pleased: "Although our family was rich when my father was alive, we didn't have so much silver. ”
Speaking of this, Li Feng'er lowered her head again and said hatefully: "The Cui family really doesn't know what to do, and mistakenly treats pearls as fish eyes, bullying my sister like this, sooner or later they will regret it." ”
Li Luan'er listened, patted Li Feng'er's head and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, now I have nothing to do with the Cui family, let's just close the door and live our own lives." ”
Speaking of this, Li Luan'er thought of something and instructed Li Feng'er: "Now that our family has surplus money, in our opinion, this money is a lot, but it is nothing to put it in those rich and noble families, we must not be complacent, nor can we show off our wealth, be careful of causing trouble." ”
"Hmm." Li Feng'er nodded heavily: "I know these truths." ”
Li Luan'er took Li Feng'er: "We have no one to support us, and we can't buy a house or land with this money, I'm afraid that the eyes of the people in the clan are hot, so we can buy as much land as we want, and they may have to plan it, so we can only hide this silver and spend it ourselves, and we can't wear too good clothes, just eat as much good as possible, you and my brother will also take care of our bodies, and after a while, I will plan a stable landing." ”
"I listen to my sister." Li Feng'er responded with a grin: "However, my sister has to promise me to buy me more music scores." ”
Li Luan'er responded, and the sisters said some private words, and at night, Li Luan'er did not go up the mountain, rested at home for a night, and packed up her things early the next morning to go hunting.
She was in a good mood on this day, and she was already familiar with the terrain of mountains and forests, so she had a little more prey.
At noon, Li Luan'er put a rabbit and two fish in the basket, plus some herbs, covered with a layer of grass, and carried her down the mountain.
The lunch was made by Li Chun and Mrs. Jin, but it was full of color, flavor, and flavor, and Li Luan'er's mouth was full of oil.
Just after lunch, I heard a knock on the door, Li Feng'er opened the door to see, but it was the little sister-in-law who took Li Fu to the door.
Li Luan'er also came out to meet when she heard the movement, and let the little sister-in-law and Li Fu into the hall, Li Luan'er looked Li Fu up and down, but saw that he was only eight or nine years old, the whole person was thin and weak, wearing coarse cloth clothes, the clothes were cleanly washed, and there were no patches, but, looking at the edging of the neckline and cuffs, I also knew that the clothes had been worn for a long time.
Looking closely, Li Luan'er has to admit the good looks of the Li family.
Li Fu has a delicate appearance, thin eyebrows and long eyes, a high nose and thin lips, and white skin.
The little sister-in-law sat down and held Li Fu's hand tightly, quite embarrassed: "Sister Luan, it's really ...... I'm sorry for you, my aunt can't do it, there are no readers in our village, your eldest brother wants to read and write, but no one teaches him, we ...... Alas! ”
Li Fu's face also turned red, and he said softly: "I don't know if I'm that material, and I asked my sister to teach me to take a look in a few days." ”
Seeing the nervous appearance of the mother and son, Li Luan'er had no choice but to put on a smiling face and coughed: "Let me ask you first, what books have you read and how many words have you learned." ”
Li Fu tugged on the placket of his clothes: "I, I haven't read any books, I only know a few words, I learned them all by myself, and I don't know if I learn well or not." ”
Li Luan'er asked Li Feng'er to take a pen and paper, and asked Li Fu to write a few words, looking at the words he wrote, the structure is very good, and it is also upright, it is very good to be able to write like this without being taught.
"Sister-in-law." Li Luan'er looked at the little sister-in-law: "I see that Brother Li Fu is a little reading, so let's do it, you let him come over every afternoon, I teach him to read and write, he is a little older, and he is a little late, but if he works hard, he can catch up, and when he lays a good foundation, how about we send him to the county to study?" ”
