Chapter Ninety-Two: Hidden Loss
Although Li Yao, an ancient man, dared to swear recklessly, Li Yao would not swear by the gambling curses of the two aunts because of her. She and Daddy Cheap came up with one thought. She also thinks that her aunt is not like a person who can cheapen others for nothing and do such foolish things.
Han was also reluctant to let go of the matter. Because of the reluctance of Li Mingqing and his wife to let go, the matter soon locked on the two Li Ying sisters and brothers. Because the two men went out of the house at the same time that day. Although the others also came out of the house, Li Yao still intuitively set the object of suspicion on Li Jin.
Since you want to check, you have to ask clearly. Li An was called by Li Mingqing and his wife for questioning alone......
"My sister said it was uncomfortable and asked me to go out with her. …… I accompanied her to the backyard and ...... I went back in a short time. Li An felt very embarrassed by the untruthful words, and he blinked weakly and looked at his cousin who was standing behind Han. Because of guilt, he replied, and he was a little at a loss where to put his hands and feet. Therefore, after half paying, he bowed his head.
He didn't have time to stop his sister from what happened that day, and now he can only help his sister hide the events of that day. If someone asked, he naturally couldn't tell others the whereabouts of the two.
Li Ying did bad things at that time and called his brother, purely because he was afraid of exposing himself, he wanted his brother to take the lead, and at the same time, he didn't want his brother to continue to be close to Li Yao. It was at that moment that she realized that there were actually no maids and servants, and they still had to do it themselves, and it was quite troublesome to do something.
Li Yao and Li An are still close, and at this time, her cousin's weakness is obvious, which can be seen from his eyes. In the end, she sighed and said, "Mother, let Cousin An go back." ”
Li Mingqing felt that his nephew was weak, but he planned to continue to ask deeply: "You didn't tell the truth, An'er, right?" ”
Just know it, and then force Li An, it will be difficult for him to do it, and if they can't get it right, they won't even have a relationship. Li Yao couldn't help but persuade and said, "Dad, let Cousin An go back, in short, let's ask these questions first." ”
Li Yao didn't want to ask any more deeply, and she didn't want Li Mingqing and his wife to ask deeply, and Li An felt even more guilty. He looked up at her with guilt in his heart, and his eyes were moist with it.
She said in a gentle voice, "Cousin An, go back, don't talk to anyone about today's interrogation." She also wanted to say, I know your embarrassment. But for some reason, she still didn't say it too bluntly. She didn't know why Li Ying let her brother know those things, but she felt that her brother was very embarrassed and embarrassed by doing this, and at the same time, it inevitably separated her relationship with Cousin An. It's actually very disgusting.
Li An wanted to say something more, but obviously for the sake of his sister, he also had difficulties at this time, so he couldn't tell the truth, and in the end he just muttered Fang Cai's words again.
Li Yao looked at her parents and resolutely let her cousin leave. After he left, she sighed deeply and said to the Han couple firmly: "It's Cousin Li Jin, don't ask Cousin An anymore." ”
"What are you going to do, just let it go?" Han was dissatisfied.
Li Mingqing was stunned for a moment, and then counted down his daughter and said, "Ah Ming, why is this child's heart so small!" Miao'er's matter, daughter, you are really ...... Why did you provoke her and slander her in the first place, and people calculated you like this, it was nothing more than you who started first! ”
Li Yao was impatient, she frowned and said patiently: "Father, how many times do you want me to say it again?" I didn't want you to protect me from beginning to end. I really didn't do it, with a clear conscience! If you don't trust me like this again, you and I don't know what to say. ”
Li Mingqing still wanted to continue to count his daughter, but he was also involved in the sale of his daughter, perhaps because of guilt, in the end, he opened and closed his mouth for a long time, and said with a calm face: "I'm not doing this for your good, I advise you not to make trouble again." ”
Han glanced at her husband complainingly and said to him: "My daughter didn't do it, so you didn't persuade him in vain." Think about how your niece should be disciplined! ”
Then she asked her daughter again unhappily, "What are you going to do?" "Her daughter was innocently calculated, and she has suffered frequent losses recently, so she is naturally unhappy. This fire has been holding back for some time.
"Mother, I will change officials in a few days...... In short, for the fear of extraneous branches, don't take any action before changing officials. …… Well, I have something to say to my grandfather, and I'll talk to you about it later. "The bacon recipe she gave was problematic, so she didn't want to make something out of it in the days when the official change was made.
Li Mingqing and his wife wanted to ask in detail, but Li Yao resolutely talked to Li Jimin first, so they were just the two of them following their daughter to talk to Li Jimin......
Li Yao was sullen for two days without moving, and a group of exiles arrived in Huaiqing County ahead of schedule. In order to inquire about the bacon recipe, the official asked a group of exiles to hire a mule cart for money, and then arrived here in advance. After here, the official mission will be changed again. And this one is the last one.
Li Yao went out with a group of officials, Li Jimin was not at ease, so he talked to the officials, saying that he also followed his granddaughter to find out the specific price of the prescription, so that he could take care of it. …… The official agreed.
Han Jin is not a wanderer, he wants to follow, and the official can't control it, plus there is a donkey cart to sit on, and the official will not stop him from going.
In the past two days, Li Yao was sullen and unhappy, even if others talked to her, she forced her face to laugh, but she couldn't lift her spirits. This is what anyone with a discerning eye can see. Therefore, everyone tried to do nothing to find her.
After turning a few places, there was a time-honored braised meat shop inside, and the last group went to a local restaurant. Except for Han Jin, who was waiting outside with a donkey cart, everyone else entered the restaurant.
After finally tasting the dish made of bacon, the shopkeeper of the restaurant said: "It depends on how you do this business." If according to what this girl said, in addition to pork, chicken and duck can also be cooked, plus what kind of sausage, these can be used in the dish, and they can be eaten on the road, then this recipe can also be sold for some silver. It's better for the girl to sell this recipe to the little old man, and I'll give you a high price. ”
The shopkeeper gestured two fingers, but Li Yao sneered at this time: "If it is in Qinghe County, where there are many merchants, I dare to say that my side can sell five hundred taels of silver or more, and the shopkeeper will give this money, right?" ”
The shopkeeper complained, "Do it yourself? If I do it myself, how long will it take for me to recoup the cost? Shop, you have to invest your own money to buy something, and you have to get up early and be greedy to do it yourself. The craft is not something that can be practiced in a while, it takes time, and if it is made, it may not sell well. It's not easy to do any business, and it's not so easy to earn some silver in this world! ”
The shopkeeper's restaurant was originally run by himself, and the price he gave was calculated according to him, but he didn't give much. In addition to making this bacon into its own dish, it can also open another window in his restaurant and sell it like braised meat, maybe it can also be used as a family heirloom, so he decided to buy it.
