Mrs. Li of Heshun Dyeing Workshop leaned against the door frame and looked out at the bustle, her eyes were straight, and the shopkeeper Li didn't respond even after shouting a few times. In a hurry, Shopkeeper Li walked up to her in a few steps and wanted to push her, but in curiosity, he also followed his wife's gaze.

Xien wears a pale yellow top, a plum blossom of the same color with a tripping skirt, and a long skirt sprinkled with flowers and green underneath, which sets off the whole person more delicate and lovely than the spring flowers. The long hair reached the waist, only loosely pulled up on the top of the head, and said goodbye to a silver hairpin. Goose egg face, skin as white as fat, lips like Zhu, a pair of big watery eyes are always smiling, and two pear vortices on the lips have been looming.

"Tsk, I didn't expect this little Hanako to be a stunning beauty, the Chen family really picked up a big bargain." Mrs. Li's envy and jealousy are about to flow out. If she is a man, I am afraid that the shopkeeper Li can slap her back to the house.

"It's just that the skin is good, and that mind is as good as the two of our Mo Lin, so you can't underestimate her for this alone!"

Mrs. Li squinted her eyes, and the corners of her mouth went up, "You also think too highly of others and belittle yourself!" My Molin is to have a character, to be knowledgeable and knowledgeable, thirteen-year-old in Xiucai, sixteen-year-old in the lift, who can compare with our Hulutun! As soon as she mentioned her son, the mother was suddenly full of confidence, and her chin, which was originally modest, was also raised.

Shopkeeper Li didn't listen to Madame's words, turned his head and went into the room, "Shunzi, where is the young master, let him come over and I will ask for a question." ”

"My son got up early to read books in the house, your son of the Heavenly King Palace, you are in a panic, what are you looking for him?" Mrs. Li was busy covering for her son.

The door of the east room opened, and a young man came out, less than twenty years old, thin and tall, with a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, a smile at the corner of his mouth, and a little slippery head.

Take a notebook - write the essay to be memorized on it, read it as you go, peek at your father from time to time, and pretend to work hard muttering.

Shopkeeper Li glanced at his son with disdain

Li Molin was interested, and hurriedly bowed down to say goodbye: "Dad." ”

Shopkeeper Li snorted.

Li Molin walked out.

"Can't you read this book at home? I have to find your fox friends and dog friends to chant poems against each other, and waste time. ”

Li Molin saw that Lao Tzu's expression was wrong, so he was busy with his cat's waist and slipped behind his mother.

"Lin Er is looking for someone to learn, so that it is the most conducive to progress, the ancients also said, 'Threesome, there must be my teacher', look at you on weekdays with a Maitreya Buddha when you meet people laugh, how to be ruthless to your son."

"A loving mother has many defeated children." Shopkeeper Li was shaken a few times by his wife's angry beard, swallowed it again, and continued to his son, "Alas, don't say anything, you just say it - will you try to have a score this year?" ”

Li Molin poked his head out from behind his mother: "Dad, this scientific expedition is completely based on luck, how dare you say that there must be a score." He took a step forward, "Dad, our dyeing workshop has been in business for more than ten years, and we don't have to worry about food and clothing, so why bother to go." ”

Shopkeeper Li admitted defeat and shook his hand: "Alas, don't say anything." He looked at the courtyard with a distant gaze, "It's still not good for the ancestral grave, there is no green smoke in the old cemetery!" --Your grandfather didn't pass the exam at the beginning, I was too poor to take the exam, and I was full of hope that you would fight for our Li family. But you--" He didn't want to be angry any longer, so he didn't finish his words.

Merlin bowed his head in shame. Mrs. Li couldn't protect her son anymore, so she patted Mo Lin's hand.

After a long time, Shopkeeper Li turned hard to soft, and his eyes were kind: "Child, you are thirteen years old, you are a sixteen-year-old talent, you are a well-known prodigy, why can't you suddenly be admitted to the Jinshi?" ”

Li Molin: "Dad, Zhongjinshi is not in the depth of knowledge, let alone in the size of talent, the key is to talk nonsense, you have to--."

Shopkeeper Li slapped the table and trembled: "If you don't talk nonsense, you will be admitted a long time ago!" ”

Li Molin bowed his head: "What I said is the truth!" ”

Shopkeeper Li's nose was cold: "You scolded Emperor Qin and Han Wu all over again, is this the truth?" If it weren't for the examiner, you would have been done a long time ago! ”

"Is this an expert method? I said brother-in-law, it's not that I, the younger sister, don't understand the reason, you are also a little harsh, there are more capable children in this gourd than our Molin? You should also be lenient, don't push a good boy too hard. "A woman in her thirties walked in, a little fat in middle age, and her face was surprisingly fat, like a full moon of fifteen, but it was a little bulging. Walking and staggering, the flesh on his face and body trembled a little.

Mrs. Li hurriedly stood up to greet her, and it was her maiden sister-in-law who was married to the Li family's side brother Li Xuan, so she was also a member of the Li family.

"Sister, why do you have to be free? Sit down and talk. ”

Seeing the situation, Li Molin smeared oil on the soles of his feet and went out with a smoke.

Shopkeeper Li still wanted to say something, opened his mouth, but he didn't say it, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"I said, brother-in-law, your old man has the leisure to take care of his nephew, so he doesn't have the time to take care of the business of this dyeing workshop. Look, the Chen family has pressed us to the point that we can't live! ”

At the mention of this reason, the Li family and his wife suddenly fell silent.

"Let me say that the Chen family is good in their newly adopted daughter, a little beggar, now that he has the sweetness of the Chen family, he doesn't want to repay the favor wholeheartedly."

Mrs. Li took over the conversation, "Isn't this the reason, that girl is also a little knowledgeable, and she has only been working hard for more than half a year, and half of Hulutun's dyeing business has been recruited by her." We and the Shun Dyeing Workshop are not receiving half of the cloth they used to have, so how can we continue like this? ”

The shopkeeper Li also sighed, in the past, the Heshun dyeing workshop was also one of the best dyeing workshops in Hulutun, but I didn't expect to only eat a little scraps thrown by others now.

"Hehe, my sister and brother-in-law can listen to my sister's idea, and make sure that everyone is happy, not to hurt the peace, but also to take that girl away."

"This is unlikely, the Chen family treats that girl as a baby, how can they send it away for no reason, you are not allowed to toss around. We don't do anything that violates the law and discipline. Shopkeeper Chen interrupted his wife's words, and he thought he was a well-behaved trader. He pointed to a calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall, which was Feng Menglong's sentence, "Let the waves rise in the sky, and there will be a steady boat in the middle stream." It can also be seen that the attitude of the shopkeeper Li in the business field.

"Look where my brother-in-law wants to go, sister, I'm that kind of person?!" Mrs. Li's sister-in-law was a little displeased, but in an instant, she smiled and said, "I got up early and sent someone from the county yamen to visit my door, this is a big face, look at what this is?" "A white and chubby, like a big bun just out of the pot, shines with silver ingots and white flowers in the palm.

Mrs. Li took the silver from her sister's hand, it was ninety percent new dragon pattern official silver, "Can the county lord find you to do something?" ”

"Humph! It's not the county lord, it's the county lord's wife, how about it, sister, I'm still a little decent, right? ”

Mrs. Li urged, "Say it quickly, don't be sloppy here, and your brother-in-law will be in a hurry later, and then you won't let Li Er deliver the goods." ”
