"Ordinary men are affectionate because of mediocrity, but how can we see it? But we don't know that those so-called heroes are actually more pretentious than us, sister, think about it, the country and the city may not be able to satisfy their desire for vanity, let alone you and me? When you think about it, we, you and I, are just trying to find ourselves bored. ”

"Xiao Langjun, he's not a womanizer......"

Listening to Aunt Wu talking to herself for a long time, He Hongyao reluctantly defended.

Aunt Wu's face suddenly appeared with a hopeless disdain, and her tone was even more disdainful: "Red medicine, don't be dreaming, widowhood may not be a true hero, there is no one like you and me in his eyes, it doesn't mean that he is not a womanizer, to say something that is not afraid of offending his sister, although you are a woman, you go and look in the mirror yourself, do you have the beauty of that Xie Gongzisheng?" ”

He Hongyao suddenly raised his head in horror as if he had been struck by lightning, and his eyes widened.

She was completely struck by Aunt Wu's words.

She knew that Xie Gongzi, who was caressed and kissed by Xia Xue in her arms, was very beautiful, but in the eyes of others, was her always pretentious appearance really not as good as that man?

It turns out that Xiaolangjun Xia Xueyi can unceremoniously abandon her for the sake of a man who is more beautiful than her?

……

In an instant, He Hongyao felt that the heavens and the earth had become dark, and she suddenly showed traces of her cheekbones.

A touch of resentment that had never been seen before swept through He Hongyao's eyes, and the corners of her mouth suddenly appeared with some kind of cynical mockery that was very god-like to Aunt Wu.

"Xia Xueyi, I don't want to be like this, I've never thought about it...... But if you are unkind, blame me for being unjust, and you forced me...... I won't let you continue to bully, you owe me all these years, and I have to pay me back double! ”

The unwilling resentment finally made He Hongyao grit her teeth, but these thoughts were only in her heart for the time being, and she didn't want to be too angry and corrupt in front of Aunt Wu.

Although the change in the expression on He Hongyao's face was very subtle, it still clearly fell on Aunt Wu's eyes, and this dissolute woman suddenly became secretly proud, haha, her unsparing demagogy finally worked.

I believe that He Hongyao, the princess of the Five Poisons Sect who always has a noble and cold face, will transform into a poisonous girl similar to herself in the near future.

At that time, did the people who watched the Five Poisons Sect dare to chew the root of her tongue behind her back, saying that she was the shameful scum of the entire Five Poisons Sect?

The most important thing is that as long as He Hongyao makes up her mind, she is expected to get a piece of the pie, and seeing a beautiful man like Xia Xueyi, who is almost angry with everyone and gods, but not getting close, is the most itchy and unbearable thing for Aunt Wu.

As long as this little slut no longer pretends to take Qiao, and is willing to use the most powerful aphrodisiac medicine secretly made by the Five Poisons Sect to take Xia Xueyi, he is not afraid that the little beautiful man will not bow down.

The more Aunt Wu thought about it, the more she entered the port, and a smug smile appeared undisguised at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes.

……

Under Xie Xiang's pleading, Zhang Huzi took Xie Xiang and Ai Ye to Li Zhutou's house again.

The old man who opened the door surprised Xie Xiang; It turned out to be the old man Li who was dancing in Miaoyin Yuan a few days ago and throwing all kinds of gossip to everyone.

Then Xie Xiang was a little frustrated, knowing that it was this old man, why not bring him some better tea by the way?

Xie Xiang was deeply impressed by the appearance of the old man leisurely sipping tea.

In order to have a nephew who is very famous in Wuzhou City, Old Man Li usually feels like a grandfather when he walks in Wuzhou City, and ordinary people still don't look down on this old man, and he doesn't even want to take it seriously.

However, when he suddenly saw Zhang Huzi leading a gentlemanly and elegant Xiucai and a clever child to the door, Old Man Li liked it very much.

Xie Xiang also came prepared, there is a way to come to ask people not empty-handed, he is very good at this point; I made a special detour to Piaoxiang Pavilion, and let people pack a good food box of delicious food and pick it up with a piece of wine.

Xie Xiang's generous hand made Zhang Huzi very happy, Zhang Huzi didn't think that Xie Xiang would give him any Xie Yi, what he thought was that he didn't have to take out the silver alone for Ai Ye's sake.

"Old man, have we seen it?"

After Zhang Huzi's introduction was completed, Xie Xiang hurriedly gave Old Man Li a smile and smiled.

"We've met?"

Old man Li suddenly stretched out his neck and looked at Xie Xiang's face carefully, and then shook his head affirmatively, "Impossible, Xiucai, little old man looks at you tightly." ”

"That day in Miaoyin Garden, many people surrounded you to listen to what you said about the Li Mansion, and I kept sitting next to ......"

Xie Xiang hurriedly explained.

Old man Li suddenly realized: "Then it's no wonder, the young man has a good memory, I can't care about the old man when he speaks, hey, Xiucai quickly invite the house to sit, my nephew is on duty, I don't know how long it will take to come back, Uncle Zhang, you also please, come here, why do you spend money?" It's so out-of-the-box......"

Zhang Huzi interrupted Old Man Li's nagging: "Old man, this wine and rice was brought by Gongzi Xie, and he specially called Piaoxiang Pavilion for rectification, and the little nephew also said that he didn't need to see the outside, but Gongzi Xie is a person of etiquette, and he must break the bank, hehe, you old man might as well laugh at it." ”

Old man Li was so humble in his mouth, but in fact, he had already smiled on his face.

It turned out that this old man Li followed his nephew, and lived a good life every day, relying on all kinds of extra money that Li Zhutou fished every day; If they counted on the few taels of silver given by the lords of the government, and they had to deduct a few points every three or five times, their uncles and nephews would have starved to death.

No way, this society is like this.

Old man Li is also used to it, and he takes it for granted.

Speaking of which, since Taizu was desperately trying to kill the greedy, but this greedy person is like the Yangtze River back Lang pushing the front Lang, not even mushrooms after the rain, but like leaving the grass on the plain, making trouble until now, not to mention the master sitting in the court, even the master who writes documents, and the fast runners, all of whom live on the silver money stuffed in their pockets by others.

There is a joke about a man who runs the court, and he is fed a big dog at home to watch over the house, this dog is very psychic, and when he sees a person with something in his hand, he does not bark, and if it is an empty-handed person, he pounces viciously, and even his own people do not recognize it.

One day the son-in-law came to the door in a hurry, forgot about the stubble for a while, hurriedly walked to the yard, and was unexpectedly pounced by this big dog, and suddenly fell to the ground and was about to be bitten, the son-in-law was so frightened that he shouted desperately: "How old am I son-in-law, and I still need silver when I come to the door?" ”

Xie Xiang didn't know about this joke, and after a few people sat down, he took out the only broken silver left in his arms and said to Old Man Li: "I didn't know it was your old man in Xiayuan, I came in a hurry today, and I didn't bring much silver with me, please go buy some tea with these broken silver." ”

Old man Li was even happier, and hurriedly bowed to Xie Xiang and said, "Oh, how can this be embarrassing? Xiucai is really polite, and the little old man who entertains the guests can still get a little tea...... But I'm afraid that Xiucai and Uncle Zhang won't be used to our coarse tea, so they will have to break the bank. ”

As he spoke, he smiled and took the broken silver handed to him by Xie Xiang, and really went out to buy tea.

Xie Xiang couldn't laugh or cry, in fact, he originally wanted Old Man Li to buy some tea with the silver for him to drink, but he didn't expect that this Old Man Li would be very good at pushing the boat, but it became Xie Xiang who asked him to buy some tea to entertain them.

Watching Old Man Li walk out of the door, Zhang Huzi secretly scolded in his heart: "Old wealth fan! ”

But his face didn't show anything, as long as this Gongzi Xie was willing to pay for Ai Ye's ancestors, he was happy to stand by and watch, and it was better to contribute than to make the silver more economical.

Old man Li quickly bought a small bag of tea and came back, and by the way, he also brought a few snacks to Ai Ye, but Ai Ye, who was in a hurry, had a bitter face, where did he still have the heart to eat? However, Li Zhutou couldn't come back for a while, so he had to listen sullenly to Old Man Li gossip with Xie Xiang and Zhang Huzi.

Xie Xiang asked speechlessly: "Old man, the Li Mansion case you said in the teahouse that day has been closed now?" ”

As soon as he mentioned the public case in the county office, Old Man Li's eyebrows fluttered, as if the county government was opened by their family, because what Old Man Li was most proud of was that he always had what he thought was the first-hand latest news of the government.

So the old man immediately picked up the posture when he was tasting tea in the teahouse, first picked up the tea he had brewed himself, blew the tea foam that was not actually on it, took a shallow sip, and then shook his head mysteriously and said, "How can it be so easy to close the case?" If the case is closed, your relatives will not be arrested and put in prison in a daze. ”

Before Xie Xiang could answer, Zhang Huzi joked: "Old man, according to me, this child is actually your relative, and the old man who was arrested and put in prison by those fast masters is also surnamed Li; Gongzi Xie was originally a foreigner, and the old man didn't ask Li Zhutou, maybe this child's grandfather is your family? Zhang Huzi said this purely to make fun of him, this Wuzhou City inside and outside the surname Li grabbed a lot of people, and there were crimes with the surname Li every three or five days, because the surname Li in Wuzhou City is a well-known family, the fish and dragons are mixed, the good and the bad are mixed, not to mention Li Zhutou, no one can take care of it.

What's more, Ai Ye's ancestors and grandsons are poor people outside the city, even if it is really Li Zhutou's own family, it is estimated that this uncle and nephew will deny it and pretend not to know each other.

Unexpectedly, Old Man Li listened to Zhang Huzi's teasing words, and suddenly stopped talking and looked at Ai Ye's little face.

Xie Xiang hurriedly said: "Uncle Zhang is telling jokes, but he is also a little curious, isn't it just a quack doctor who treats the dead, think about it clearly, why is it so exciting, and the people are so entangled?" ”

Hearing Xie Xiang's question, Old Man Li moved his eyes from Ai Ye's face to Xie Xiang's face, and then said with a smile: "Xiucai is a foreigner, how do you know about the twists and turns in our Wuzhou City?" Why? Because of the Li family's great business, it is very oily. ”
