Li Yuanwai raised his hand and stared at the red thread on his wrist like a life talisman, treating it like a life-saving talisman, carefully hiding it in his long sleeves, now is probably the most relaxed moment for him in the past few days, and beckoned: "Okay, please invite the two Divine Monarchs to my study to talk in detail." ”

Sitting in the study, Li Yuanwai's careful maid will prepare the food and tea, the elixir and jade dew, and the delicacies.

Ghost Che pulled Xiyue to him first and asked, "Later, Suxian wants to tell a story, do you want to listen to it?" ”

Xi Yue glanced at the food served by the servants, the aroma was fragrant, the color was delicious, and she nodded vigorously: "It's naturally good to have stories, I'm tired of listening to the ghost stories you tell every day." ”

I'm really sorry, he only talks about hell ghosts, and some of them will pick and choose if they listen to it, the ghost Che vigorously flicked a brain on Xiyue's forehead, seeing that she rubbed her forehead painfully and skimmed the table from time to time to eat, she reluctantly picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in her hand, and said with a smile: "This is the food that the fairy filial piety gave you, just pick it up and eat it if you want to." Be the first to update"

Hearing this, Xi Yue took a bite of the pastry with a smile, it was soft and sweet, and it melted in her mouth, it was the best pastry she had ever eaten in the mortal world, and after smashing her mouth for a while, she handed the half of the osmanthus cake in her hand to Ghost Che's mouth, and smiled happily: "Xianggong, you also eat it, it's much better than what you make." ”

The ghost twitched the corners of his mouth, and said in his heart: After coming out to see the world, the fool actually disliked him everywhere, took a bite of the pastry handed by Xiyue, and said indifferently: "Fool, sit quietly next to me and listen to the story, don't disturb the immortals." ”

Li Yuanwai looked at the ghost Che and settled Bai Xiyue, and after signaling to him that he could start, he said with a little restraint: "I was reincarnated among the Confucian merchants, named Li Yong, since I was a child, I learned to take care of the family's trading shops, a little success, married Xiao Ran, the daughter of Xiao University, as his wife, but my wife is weak, and she died after five years of marriage, and she has a son called Li Jiaze, I have a soft spot for my wife, and I am grateful that the scholar can take a fancy to my son-in-law from a businessman, so I did not marry a concubine again." Be the first to update"

As he spoke, Li Yuanwai wiped the tears flashing in his eyes, and choked up: "My only son Li Jiaze has been talented since he was a child, and he is a reading material, but if he takes the road of official career, the huge family business will be unmanaged in the future." After thinking about it for a while, I decided to book a family affair for him to raise a child and daughter-in-law, raise a good daughter-in-law to take care of the family business, and let Jiaze finish his ambition. ”

Li Yong's thoughts drifted to ten years ago.

Ten years ago, one of the most lively events in Jinyuan City was that Li Yong, the richest man in the city, set a child and daughter-in-law for his son, without looking at the eight characters or family background, as long as the father or mother or relatives in the family brought the child to be personally selected by Li Yong.

As soon as the announcement came out, people flocked to send their daughters to try their luck, Li Yuanwai's wealthy Cheng dù and his status in the imperial court, not to mention in Jinyuan City, are ranked among the best in the country, once selected, they will enjoy endless glory and wealth, and a bright future. Be the first to update

Child daughters-in-law are all raised by their in-laws, and when they grow up, they will become the daughters-in-law of their own families. Those who are in the right place are reluctant to give women to them as early as possible; There are very few children from a poor family with smart spiritual power and good looks, and this selection of relatives seems simple, but it is as difficult as the sky. More and faster chapters are here.

Just when Li Yong had the idea of giving up and was sitting at a loss in the courtyard, he saw a shabby-dressed lady pulling a little girl into the courtyard gate. ”

Before anyone watched it, he heard a crisp and immature voice in his ears: "My name is Yin Chunhua, and I will be five years old a few days ago." ”

Li Yong looked up at the girl with a beautiful face standing not far from him, answered his question without humility or arrogance, and immediately became interested, and then asked, "What books have you read?" What skills can you learn at home? ”

The girl stood in the courtyard upright, her demeanor was calm, and she said decently: "I was three years old and enlightened the "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", "Thousand Character Text", "Disciple Rules", and now I am reading "Four Books and Five Classics", I don't like singing and dancing, but I know a little bit about abacus. ”

Li Yong raised his eyebrows lightly, and shouted with a smile: "Oh? Then I'll test you. More and faster chapters are here. Chamberlain! Give this girl an abacus. ”

The housekeeper quickly took out the abacus from his body and handed it to the girl who called Yin Chunhua, quite a kind of mentality of watching the excitement, thinking that it must be this poor family who taught the child nonsense to please his master.

Chunhua didn't take the abacus timidly, lifted her robe and sat on the ground, put the abacus between her knees, and after all the gears were adjusted to neutral and empty plates, she looked up and smiled confidently: "Mr. Li, I'm ready." ”

Li Yong saw that Chunhua was skillful, and he also took out the black jade abacus he carried with him from his body, but he began to test it politely.

The quiet in the courtyard can only hear the sound of the abacus beads plucking up and down, as well as the sound of Chunhua and Li Yong reporting the number at the same time, half an hour has passed and it is still endless.

God really help me, what a lovely little girl, Li Yong looked up to the sky and smiled, squinted his eyes and asked the woman: "You will raise a girl, the housekeeper gave her the dowry according to the notice posted, and Chunhua will be a member of my family in the future, and life and death have nothing to do with your family." ”

The woman glanced at Chunhua, there was no reluctance on her face, and she followed the housekeeper to collect the money without looking back, Chunhua saw that the woman had left, and said with a straight face: "She is not my biological mother, my mother went with my father, I am the daughter of Yin Tianming's family who suffered a catastrophe a while ago, in the end, I will be sold by them, I just want to find a good place for myself." ”

Yin Tianming, no wonder there is such a well-bred girl, Yin Tianming is a rich businessman in the city next door, a while ago Yin Tianming went to the northwest to go shopping, unfortunately was killed by robbers on the road, leaving only a wife and daughter at home, and there is no one in the clan who can afford to get into trouble, and the wall of life fell down and everyone pushed it down, it is clear that his parents have passed away, and this child can still think of escaping from the messy clan.

Li Yong looked at Yin Chunhua with a rare maturity of this age on his face, and naturally felt a little more pity in his heart, beckoned Chunhua to his side, and said with a smile: "My son is naturally worthy of you, you are now the second son of this family, Li Lan, my godson, when you are in time, you will be my daughter-in-law, and you will be in charge of the family in the future." ”

After the housekeeper sent the woman away, he leaned over and explained a few words in Li Yong's ear, looked at Chunhua, and said respectfully: "Young Master Lan, I will take you to the resting room, from tomorrow onwards, you will not only have to study with the eldest young master's private school, but also follow the master to sell goods and learn to talk about business." ”
