Is it hard? Naturally hard work, Li Zi has always been a powerless scholar, when did he ever do such rough work? Even with all his strength, he could only cut out a small hug, and the condition was extremely poor.

"Master Li, you can't sell it like this," Liu Yan, a woodcutter in the village, looked at Li Zi's firewood and couldn't help sighing.

Li Zi was also a little ashamed, his first time cutting firewood was really not good, but he needed this income to subsidize his family.

"That's it, Master, you put the firewood into my pyre," Liu Yan also knew that Li Zi must be extremely difficult, otherwise he would not have come out to do such a rough job, so he wanted to help him.

"No need, Brother Liu" Li Zi knew that his firewood could only be sold if it was mixed into other people's firewood, but he also knew that Liu Yan's firewood would not be bought at a good price if he did so.

Liu Yan didn't listen to Li Zi, but directly picked up Li Zi's firewood and put it into his own and said: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely share you if you sell it for money in a while." After the words fell, he put firewood on his back and walked directly down the mountain.

"Brother Liu" Li Zi chased after him, but after a burst of pushing and shouting, he still followed Liu Yan's advice.

The reason why Liu Yan took Li Zi's firewood was because he really wanted to help this kind-hearted scholar, and on the other hand, because he had always had a fixed seller who was the Qi family next to the village, so even if he mixed it like this, he would not lose money.

To say that this Qi family actually has some relationship with Li Zi, the lord of the Qi family valued Li Zi's talent very much and was ready to give him his daughter, when everything had been negotiated and the Li family was sent to find a matchmaker, Li Zi suddenly regretted marrying the current Lin Yi. This incident also caused a lot of turmoil at the time, and in the end, it was the Qi family who saw the face of Li Zizu before revealing it, if he had known that he was coming here, Li Zi would not have been willing, but now that he has arrived at the door, he can't help it.

"Isn't the firewood in good shape today?" It was the housekeeper of the Qi Mansion who spoke, and at this time he had not recognized Li Zilai on the side.

"Hey, there are no good trees on the mountain now, so why don't you give a little hard-earned money on this amount?" Liu Yan wiped the sweat on his forehead and smiled flatteringly at the housekeeper.

"Forget it, I don't think it's easy for you......" Just as the butler was about to pay, an inopportune voice sounded.

"Yo...... Isn't this Li Dacai? ”

Li Zixun looked at him and saw a woman in an emerald green dress looking at him with disdain, he couldn't help frowning, to be honest, he really didn't know who this person was?

"It seems that Li Dacai is a noble man who forgets things, I am Miss's maid Qingling," the woman said proudly.

It was only at this time that Li Zi remembered that the eldest lady of the Qi family was indeed a servant girl before, but why does this handmaid still treat herself like this today? This made him a little confused.

"Didn't you hear that you married a lady who is gentler and more virtuous than a fairy, how could she be so downcast?" Qing Ling was still unrelentingly sarcastic.

Li Zi did not speak, it was indeed his fault on the issue of retiring his relatives, and he deserved to be insulted.

"Doesn't it seem like your wife is doing well?" Qing Ling saw Li Zi's appearance, thinking that he had caught his sore feet, and continued to sarcastically.

"How can my wife not need to be evaluated by outsiders" As long as Lin Yi and Li Zi are involved, they will be the first to defend it, and this time is no exception.

"Why, when that woman is mentioned, doesn't Li Dacai even want the face of a literati?" Qing Ling squinted at Li Zi and continued, "You can still be so proud of raising children for others, I'm afraid you are the only one in the world."

"Pay attention to your words, is the Qi family so lax with their domestic servants now? You think you're complaining about what happened back then, but it's actually hurting the face of the Qi family" Although Li Zi is in rags at the moment, his temperament has not been damaged because of these, on the contrary, he is still the man who does not bend his waist for five buckets of rice.

"You ......" Qing Lingqi was just about to scold.

"Qing Ling" A stern voice sounded, Qing Ling's face changed and he suddenly lost his voice, not only Qing Ling but also Li Zi flashed a little embarrassed look in his eyes. Because the owner of this voice is Qi Yue, the eldest lady of Qi Mansion.

Qi Yue is definitely a rare beauty, her proud appearance reveals an indescribable tranquility, and her own cultural literacy is also one of the best around, but it is a pity that she only married a businessman in the end, which makes people sigh.

"I haven't seen you for many years, how is Gongzi Li?" Qi Yue saluted slightly at Li Zi.

"Thank you Miss for your care, although Xiaosheng is poor, he is also happy" Li Zi returned the salute, and there was no trace of dodging in his eyes at this time.

"Yes, what about poverty, being able to be with your beloved is the most important thing, please say hello to Mrs. Zun for me" Hearing these words, Qi Yue still didn't let go of the past, but at this moment, she tried her best to maintain the cultivation that a lady should have.

"Also, I'm not a young lady from Qi Mansion now, but Mrs. Qiu," in fact, Qi Yue said this sentence more to himself.

"I'm sorry for Mrs. Qiu for Neiko," Li Zi also saw Qi Yue's strangeness, but for him, the previous ones were already in the past, and now all he wanted was to support a family.

"I'll say goodbye first," Qi Yue smiled slightly, then turned around and left with Qing Ling.

After "saying goodbye", Li Zi saluted and turned around without any waves and walked beside Liu Yan.

The housekeeper shook his head and paid Liu Yanchai money, it would be better for them to be less involved in these things.

Li Zi and Liu Yan did not linger and turned around and left the Qi Mansion.

"Qingling, you find someone to give him this silver" Qi Yue actually didn't go far, she just hid in a corner and watched Li Zi's departure, she knew that this was wrong, but she didn't know why she was always not as free and easy as Li Zi in the past.

"Miss, why do you still care about him, you are already like this?" Qingling sometimes mourns her misfortune and is angry with her young lady.

"This is fate," Qi Yue could only reply like this.

"Master, this is your silver" Liu Yan actually divided half of the firewood money given by the housekeeper just now to Li Zi.

Li Zi shook his head, just took a few articles, "This is what I deserve."

"But Master, you ......"

"Don't be like this, Brother Liu, I thank you for helping me, but I have my own principles" Li Zi carefully put away the money, he still has books to teach, so he needs to speed up his pace.

"Li Gongzi, please stay", but at this time, a person chased out.

Li Zi looked at the visitor with a puzzled expression.

"This is a little bit of our young lady's heart," this person is a domestic servant in the Qi Mansion.

Li Zi looked at the money bag he handed over and smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your kindness to Mrs. Qiu for me, but Li Zi is useless." When the words fell, Li Zitou didn't turn around and left.

Liu Yan looked at the heavy money bag and was a little surprised, but then he followed Li Zi and left.

"Miss, Li Zi is inevitably too ignorant of lifting" After the next person replied to the news, Qing Ling really couldn't hold back his anger and shouted loudly.

Qi Yue didn't speak, she just quietly looked at the money bag on the table.

"Miss, Miss," seeing that her own lady was like this, Qing Ling whispered worriedly.

"I finally understood, he was right, we are really not suitable to be together" At this moment, Qi Yue finally figured it out.
