Seeing that Li Xian looked at the tray in his hand in a daze, but he never meant to speak, the steward was puzzled, but on the surface, he was as respectful as ever, and just asked again.

"Li Gongzi, what to choose?"

He was afraid that Li Xian would be embarrassed to say what he wanted, so he uncovered the red silk cloth on the wooden box, revealing the five hundred taels of silver and a gilt carved wooden tablet inside.

The group of "geniuses" who claimed to treat money like dung all day long widened their eyes and let out a long exclamation when they saw the large box of silver.

What to choose?

Li Xian slowly raised his hand, tremblingly placed it on top of the five hundred taels of silver, but he never hesitated and did not fall.

The steward was an empathetic person, thinking that Li Xian was embarrassed to take it directly, so he took back the wooden box with self-righteousness, bowed his head and said.

"I'm going to wrap up Childe now."

"Wait—"

Just as the steward put on the red silk cloth again and turned to go upstairs, Li Xian suddenly stopped him.

"What else?"

The steward asked, looking back.

"I ......"

Li Xian hesitated for a while, then looked back at Ruoshui who was standing not far away, and suddenly turned his head to the steward as if he had made some serious decision.

"Bring me the invitation."

At this moment, the steward finally couldn't hold it back, he raised his head in surprise and looked at Li Xian, looked his clothes up and down, opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything. However, his meaning couldn't be more obvious, Li Xian's shabby robe made it clear that he was a poor man who couldn't be poorer, and for him, accepting the five hundred taels of silver was the most correct choice.

"Bring me the invitation."

Faced with the surprise and puzzlement of the steward, Li Xian did not explain anything, but repeated what he had just said in a more firm tone.

Now, of course, it is impossible for the steward to rely on it, he secretly glanced at Ruoshui who was standing aside, and suddenly understood a little in his heart.

got the meaning of his own master, and has been running the champion building in Xiangnan County for many years, and he has also seen a lot of absolute talents who can go upstairs. Some of them have rich families, some are poor and white, because of what they want and need, these people have all made the most correct choice for themselves. The only thing in front of me is silver, but he chose to enjoy the ultimate beauty of the world, and the only reason is the woman standing there.

He sighed secretly, since ancient times, the beauty has been a hero's mound in her arms, but it is a pity that this poor family has a chance to leap into the dragon gate, but he made what can be described as the most wrong choice in his life.

Although he felt pity in his heart, he still took out the gilt carved wooden tablet according to his words, and handed the wooden box containing the remaining five hundred taels of silver to the little servant behind him, and the steward held the wooden tablet with both hands and sent it to Li Xian. It's just that although this attitude is as respectful as ever, the contempt in his eyes is not concealed at all.

If you can give up your good future for a woman today, you will make more wrong choices in the future, and such a scholar, even if she is talented, is destined to be buried. For a scholar who is destined to have no future, there is no need for him to be taboo at all.

Li Xian didn't care about the sudden change in the manager's eyes, and he probably didn't notice it at all, because all his thoughts were on Ruoshui not far in front of him at this moment. For the first time, he didn't shy away from her direct gaze.

Clenching the wooden slip in his hand hard, Li Xian took a deep breath and finally walked forward.

"Miss Xiao, would you like to go up to the Wending Pavilion with me and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the world?"

Standing still in front of Ruoshui, Li Xian stretched out his right hand and raised the gilded carved wooden slip to Ruoshui's eyes.

Everyone held their breath and stared at the two people in the center of the crowd without blinking, only the steward shook his head and turned around to go straight upstairs.

He had no interest in the outcome of the invitation, and it would have been difficult for the sixteen or seventeen-year-old lady to refuse such a gracious offer. However, the good story of talented and beautiful people enjoying the beautiful scenery together, for him, is just an extra teacup when preparing the pot of Longjing tea~

However, a crisp sound of "pop" suddenly sounded behind the ears, and then the crowd erupted in exclamation again. Only then did the steward realize that it seemed that what was behind him was developing in a direction that he didn't expect?

He turned his head and saw Ruoshui pointing at Li Xian's nose with an excited expression, shouting and scolding.

"Who wants to go to the Pavilion with you! You don't want five hundred taels of silver, you want that broken brand! Li Xian, did you let the door clamp in your head? Do you still want to go to Beijing to catch the exam? Are you willing to waste your full talent and live by chopping wood every day? ”

It's really rare for a woman who regards vanity as nothing~

The steward stopped with great interest, and decided to watch the show before cooking tea. Even, he felt that he might not even have the opportunity to make tea......

"I ...... I was thinking, now I am poor and white, and I have never been able to give you anything, and I have this opportunity today, I just want to leave you and me a good memory. ”

Li Xian knew that Ruoshui was not as gentle and gentle as ordinary girls, but he didn't expect that today's Ruoshui would turn into a Hedong lion, and the green and slender jade fingers pointed straight on Li Xian's forehead. Fortunately, she makes snacks on weekdays, and she is used to trimming her nails not too long, otherwise these few sharp pokes would have punctured Li Xian's forehead a long time ago.

"Memories? Memories have a fart! Can I eat memories? Can I drink it? Can I get silver for white flowers? Li Xian, do you have any future! You said you wanted to give it to me, so do you know what I want? ”

You can say that again!

The steward was already eager to applaud Ruoshui. He felt that although this woman was out of grace, she obviously had a better understanding of the future than Li Xian. It's a pity......

He looked down at Mu Jian, who had been torn apart on the ground, and his heart ached. This wooden slip is a lot of money~ gilt drawing, a famous carver, this woman dropped his things in front of everyone, and she must not be able to run to compensate. He is a businessman after all, even if he admires this woman's bearing, he will never be exempted from the indemnity worth two or three hundred taels of silver.

"If you fall in love, you go by yourself, anyway, I can't do such a brainless thing that burns money and doesn't end up. Li Xian, I will say goodbye to you today, I warn you! Don't let me see you again! Otherwise, I don't have you as a friend! ”
