Li Zhu drove the ostrich into the grass shed, and his heart was settled. Li Shi, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, saw that it was dark, so he beckoned everyone to eat at her place, and just when Li Yu came back from the field, he told her to cook everyone's food.

Li Zhu couldn't refuse, thinking that it was difficult for him to cook hungry, and Brother Li Hai was so young, don't be hungry, so he agreed to eat in Li Yu.

Old man Li saw that his two sons were by his side, and he was happy for a while, so he went back to the room and took a small half of the wine of the rice and drank it with the two brothers.

Old man Li was happy, drank a little more, and drank high. Li Zhu and Li Yuquan couldn't persuade them. Old Man Li drank high, so he kept talking, and Old Man Li said repeatedly, "Yu, Zhu, you let people inquire, how is your second brother doing in the neighboring town?" Why don't you have a letter? Li Yu and Li Zhu felt uncomfortable when they heard this. Li Zhu thought to himself, this second brother is not reliable, no matter how his life goes, he always has to let people come back to report a letter of safety, which makes the family worried. Li Yu took note of his heart and decided to ask someone tomorrow, how to say that his mother is also with his second brother.

On the second day, Li Yu asked Uncle Zhang and Old Man Yu to inquire about Li Dao early in the morning. Li Zhu went to the uncle's house to help, Li Yu and Old Man Li went to the ground, and the family returned to a simple life. Because he was afraid of hurting the child, Li Zhu specially told Li Hai to stay away from the bird. Li Hai's brothers were all detained by Deng at home to endorse and learn calligraphy.

A week later, Old Man Yu and Uncle Zhang brought news of Li Dao at the same time.

Old Man Li and Li Yu's family went to the ground, Li Zhu happened to be making bamboo tools at home, and Old Man Yu and Uncle Zhang rushed to tell Li Zhu about Li Dao.

Uncle Zhang said: "Your second brother took your mother, Wang, and Li Qiyue, and the four of them only took two or three days to get to the neighboring town. As soon as you arrived in town, your brother handed a letter of recommendation to Xiyue Academy. I'm now teaching at the academy. I rented a small courtyard, two rooms, and an independent kitchen in the college. Wang planted some vegetables in the yard, and your mother raised ten chickens. The family had a good time. Old man Yu said, "Hmph, do you think that only you know that others don't know?" I know what you don't know. After listening to Uncle Zhang's words, Old Man Yu raised his head proudly. When Uncle Zhang heard this, he was not happy, and said, "What do I not know?" You draw a circle. ”

Old man Yu said: "Your second brother is also personable. Uncle Zhang didn't listen to Old Man Yu's words, spit at the mouth, and said with a disgusted face: "Old Yu Tou, he is Pianpian, what has become of this person in front of us." You're blind. ”

Old man Yu paused for a while and said: "Li Dao is passable, we have traveled from south to north, and we have seen a lot of people, you can say with your conscience, are the three brothers of the Li family really passable." Although Yu and Dao are a little worse than Li Zhubi, in these ten miles and eight villages and ten towns, the appearance is indeed good. After hearing this, Uncle Zhang thought about it and nodded, agreeing with Old Man Yu's words.

Old man Yu continued: "Your second brother was taken by the little daughter of the president of Xiyue Academy, and she didn't ask your second brother to divorce his wife, but asked to be a flat wife. The dean saw that your second brother's words and deeds were quite safe, and he was a little moved, so he sent someone back to our town to inquire about your second brother. But his little daughter disagreed, and said that she was already your second brother's person. Tsk, tsk, in the past month and a half, you have more second sisters-in-law. ”

Li Zhu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and Uncle Zhang said with an incredible face: "Old Yutou, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, you are in the reputation of a bad girl." Old man Yu nodded and said to Uncle Zhang: "I don't know how you grew up." This is said by the gatekeeper of Xiyue Academy. It turned out that the gatekeeper was the son of my daughter-in-law's third uncle. I went to ask him about Li Dao, and he said that he had listened to me. also said that Li Dao was packing up and planned to go home to marry his daughter-in-law, because he was a flat wife, he would also have to be carried back by eight sedan chairs. He also said that the little girl was a good one, but a little stubborn. Although she is a little girl, she is also one in twenty this year. When Uncle Zhang heard this, he exclaimed, "Ah, this is not sick or something, right?" Old man Yu shook his head and said, "This girl is physically strong, and she can also do some housework." Her criteria for choosing a son-in-law are very simple, that is, she wants to find a handsome person, she has not picked it for many years, and Li Dao likes it when she sees it. ”

Li Zhu listened to it beside him, sighed helplessly, and said, "Uncle Zhang, Uncle Yu, who else knows this news?" Uncle Zhang looked at Old Man Yu and looked at Li Zhudao: "Zhu, don't worry, I estimate that Old Man Yu is the same as me, and he will come back to inform your family as soon as he gets the news, and no one else has told him." Old man Yu also nodded after hearing this, this is not a good thing after all, and it is inevitable that you don't want too many people to know.

Old man Yu thought for a while and suddenly laughed to himself, and said, "If your second sister-in-law sees you, do you think she will make a fuss?" Uncle Zhang also smiled when he heard this: "This is interesting, Zhu, I will also come over to help when your second brother comes back, if you have something to help, you can join in the fun." After hearing this, Old Man Yu said, "Count me in." ”

Li Zhu was amused by the two old living treasures, and he entered the house as if he was running away, took six yuan out, and one of them gave three yuan, and thanked the two old men for helping to find out the news.

After the two elders went back, Li Zhu cleaned up his yard, and by the way, the yard of Li Yu and Old Man Li's house was also cleaned up. Wu's second sister-in-law saw that Li Zhu was cleaning up, and she also took a dustpan and broom out to help, and asked, "Zhu, why did you suddenly remember to clean up the yard today?" Li Zhu looked at Wu's second sister-in-law, and knew that he couldn't hide it, so he told Uncle Zhang and Old Man Yu the words to Wu's second sister-in-law.

Wu's second sister-in-law was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and wiped it with the back of her hand at the corner of her eye, I don't know whether to comfort herself or to Li Zhu, "I don't have anything to do, how can I say that I still have Xi'er." Actually, your second brother is still good, in a rich family, who doesn't have three wives and four concubines. Li Zhu didn't know whether to nod or shake his head after hearing this, and he wouldn't comfort anyone, so he lowered his head and swept the floor silently. Wu's second sister-in-law wiped the corners of her eyes, and cleaned up with Li Zhu, she swept the yard, and also carried water, and cleaned her hall and room.

Li Zhu cleaned up the yard and went back to the room, told the Deng family the news, and jokingly told the old man Yu that he joked about him, "If the new sister-in-law sees him, will he make a fuss?" to the Deng family. Li Zhu was also happy when he saw Deng's appearance, and said: "How can she make trouble, she is already my brother's person, and she can't marry another person." Deng asked nervously, "What if she wants to marry someone else?" Li Zhu looked at Deng's appearance, and didn't dare to laugh, and said seriously: "Min'er, you don't know what kind of person I am, I said when I married you that I only have one wife in my life." How did the two of us get over the past few years, do you still doubt my heart? Deng Shi became even more nervous when he heard this, "Zhu, I don't doubt you, I'm afraid, this matter, if something bad comes out, it will ruin our family's reputation, how can this be good?" Li Zhu said optimistically: "What's the matter?" The second brother marries a daughter-in-law, I just go to eat a table, what can I do? Don't worry, I'm the head of the family, and I'm more nervous about this reputation than anyone else, and our son will have to take the exam. ”

After hearing this, Deng Shi felt uncomfortable in his heart, and repeatedly told Li Zhu to be careful.
