"Your three hundred taels are prepaid, I know that your reputation is now shocked, and a novel can become like that, and this only one thousand taels will be completed in a few days."

Li Xiangzhi opened his mouth and said dejectedly: "You are really full and don't know that you are hungry, do you know that these three hundred and two ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty are poor and their three generations can't earn it." ”

The woman surnamed Zhu stopped talking, because she knew the value of the money very well, and she was not a young lady who didn't go out of the door, so she naturally knew the people's suffering. But it is precisely because of this that she is more curious about Lee Sang-zhi.

On the surface, Li Xiangzhi is greedy for life and afraid of death, greedy for money and cowardly, and has no backbone as a scholar, but he prefers to ignore life and death when he encounters a crisis, and he doesn't value these money as much as he shows at all.

Li Xiangzhi casually threw the package on the table, then poured himself a cup of tea, and was just about to enter it, but was snatched by a woman surnamed Zhu.

"My brother's tea hasn't been drunk yet!"

Li Xiangzhi said helplessly: "Okay, okay, okay, I'll drink it." ”

The woman surnamed Zhu took the tea poured by Li Xiangzhi, moved it to her lips, reached out and turned over the corner of the black face towel, and put the tea in her mouth.

When Li Xiangzhi saw the other party eating and revealing his round chin, he couldn't help but say: "Actually, in broad daylight, you don't need to wear a veil, I have already seen your appearance, and you are not ugly......"

The woman surnamed Zhu trembled, suddenly glared angrily, only heard the sound of "pop", slammed the tea on the table, the teacup was immediately shattered, and angrily pulled out the sword, the sound of the sword was sonorous and piercing, and the sound of the tip of the sword "buzzing" with a blow could be heard.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Xiangzhi immediately got up and ran away, and did not forget to shout: "Oops, I forgot, there are still some melons and fruits in the kitchen, I'll go get them right away!" ”

Li Xiangyi ran to the kitchen in the side hall, and his heart palpitated. I thought about it for a moment.

"What is the origin of this girl, what is the purpose? Don't really be an underground lawless organization. Alas, life is hard enough, how can you still get into such a thing. ”

When Li Xiangzhi stubbornly brought up the fruit that had been seriously dehydrated for several days, he was shocked to find that the veil on the face of the woman surnamed Zhu had been removed. The delicate and round face is completely open to Li Xiangzhi, a little baby fat, the face is fleshy, and it looks harmless to humans and animals, who would have thought that this woman with a cute face would be a female devil who kills people without blinking.

"Ahem! Cough! Miss Zhu is really a shy flower in the closed moon, she is really beautiful like a fairy, unparalleled in the world......"

"Shut up!" The woman surnamed Zhu glared and said, "If you dare to talk nonsense, I will cut your tongue." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll shut up, I'll shut up!" Li Xiangzhi's sycophant kung fu is not in place, and he doesn't dare to provoke the other party again.

"But...... Miss Zhu, my temple is small, there are only three rooms, this living room is one, and there is a kitchen, you don't really plan to live here tonight, right? ”

"Isn't there another one?" The woman sneered.

There is no face towel entangled, this time Li Xiangzhi can really feel the woman's various expressions.

"Huh? Next...... Oh, the girl didn't know, the quilt in my nest was moldy, and the bed frame was rotten with several pieces of wood. This is too wronged girl, inappropriate, really inappropriate! ”

"It's okay, I've already asked someone to throw away your bedding and bed frame." The woman surnamed Zhu said lightly.

“What？ So where do I sleep tonight? ”

"I don't care about this, you can sleep wherever you like."

Li Xiangzhi was stunned this time and said, "Since you ...... Since the girl said so, then I will be aggrieved and squeeze with you tonight. ”

Not surprisingly, as soon as Li Xiangzhi's words fell, he received the woman's fierce gaze. Not surprisingly, the woman was seen holding the hilt of the sword.

"Heck, I'm just kidding, just talking. A girl's family, don't draw a sword at every turn. Violence will not solve the problem. ”

The woman surnamed Zhu frowned and said, "Do you really think that I won't dare to kill you?" ”

This time Li Xiangzhi didn't run away, but said with a smile: "Girl, don't be joking, it's not fun to kill people, and besides, I am also your life-saving benefactor." Do you know the lifesaver? Let's be reasonable, I don't ask you for anything in return, but you can't scare me by shouting and killing all the time, can you? It's not friendly. ”

The woman surnamed Zhu snorted coldly and said, "I can't imagine that you, a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, would use this as a threat, so you don't have to be afraid of me." ”

Li Xiangzhi retorted: "What is so terrible about girls? I, Li Xiangzhi, asked myself, I was born in heaven and earth, worthy of heaven and earth, what should I fear? ”

"Hmph, then you're not afraid of the government?"

"Look at what you said, you underestimate us scholars too much." Li Xiangzhi glanced at the other party domineeringly and said: "I am a person who is afraid of trouble, but I have never been afraid of people." ”

In fact, Lee Sang-zhi could elaborate more, but in this era, it is really unnecessary. If it were a modern person five hundred years later, he would be a taxpayer anyway, and there would only be occupations in society, not high and low. Even government departments are designed to serve the people. Everyone is equal in this world, and if someone chooses an unequal way to deal with problems, it depends on whether they want to fight or not.

The woman surnamed Zhu sneered: "I hope you can always maintain this mentality." ”

"A must...... Belch...... Miss Zhu, it's getting late, and I haven't eaten yet. I don't cook here, why don't I pack one for you?" ”

Before she could reply, Mengru walked in, she didn't speak, just handed a note to her master, and whispered a few words in her ear.

Li Xiangzhi had no choice but to drink two cups of tea.

"Got it! Step aside! ”

"Yes!"

The woman surnamed Zhu glanced at the note, frowned and tore the note.

"It seems that Miss Zhu has something important to deal with, or ...... Shall I withdraw first? ”

The woman surnamed Zhu glanced at Li Xiangzhi and said slowly: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I received news that there is a person surnamed Luo in Zhili who has established a sect." ”

"Huh? What sect ......" As soon as Li Xiangzhi spoke, he immediately reacted, that is, he was too nosy. "Haha...... I don't dare to be interested in this, I dare not be interested. ”

The corners of the woman's mouth twitched, revealing a sneering expression.

Li Xiangzhi secretly thought in his heart: "This bun face, the smile is ill-intentioned." ”

"Luojiao!"

"Luojiao?" Li Xiangzhi seemed to be a little thoughtful when he heard this.

"You know this sect?" The woman surnamed Zhu was surprised by Li Xiangzhi's reaction.

Li Xiangzhi flatly denied: "No, no, it's the first time I've heard of it." ”

The woman surnamed Zhu was very dissatisfied with Li Xiangzhi's answer, "Hmph, it must be those traitors of the White Lotus Sect who are making waves." ”

Li Xiangzhi's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said in his heart: "This girl said this, it seems that it is not the White Lotus Sect, at least it is one step away from the underground illegal organization." Lao Tzu doesn't have to worry about being scared all day long. ”

Li Xiangzhi knows a little bit of the teachings of Luojiao, it advocates inaction, after the establishment of temples, most of them are managed by the disabled and elderly, that is, sheltered, these are indeed doing good deeds, Luojiao combined with the ideas of Buddhism and Taoism to establish a very important spiritual bridge between the common people, that is, because of the rise of Luojiao, after being on an equal footing with the White Lotus Sect, there were many sects and sects in the later period. But conscience says that the Luo Sect will not gather people to make trouble or rebel like the White Lotus Sect. It is completely like the god it believes in, Wuji Ancestor, that is, the lifeless old mother, who worships non-action.

Of course, where there is a mass base, there is a villain leader, this is inevitable, even if it is not inevitable, the Ming Dynasty government will definitely create inevitability when it sees so many mass bases of Luojiao. In general, for the disease-ridden Ming Dynasty, Luojiao was benign.

The woman surnamed Zhu's eyes suddenly lit up, then she looked at Li Xiangzhi, and then shook her head gently.

Li Xiangzhi was baffled by the other party's behavior. But he also refused to ask questions, he has always believed in the law that more things are better than less things. Still, he remembered the woman's identity. It's not that I really want to know what the other party does, at least I can divide the traitor.

"Uh, Miss Zhu, how long are you going to stay in my house?"

"Are you giving an eviction order?" The woman surnamed Zhu looked at Li Xiangzhi playfully.

"Not really, don't I want to concentrate on studying, this study needs to be meditated." Li Xiang's heart is empty.

The woman surnamed Zhu sneered and said, "Originally, I stayed for one or two people and left, but since you said so, then I will stay for a while." ”

"This?"

"I'm not an unreasonable person, give you a chance, I'll ask a question, and if you can answer it, I'll leave immediately."

"Really?" Li Xiangzhi said in surprise.

The woman surnamed Zhu smiled slightly, looked at Li Xiangzhi like a fool, and said, "Naturally, it's true, if you can't answer, don't bring up this kind of nonsense in the future, and you have to go to the north with me." ”

"What? Northern? What am I going to the north for? ”

"Naturally, it's to see my brother."

"What's this? What if you don't go? ”

"I guarantee that your life in Suzhou City is not as good as that of a beggar."

"Scared!" Lee Sang-zhi glared.

After repeated thoughts, in order to escape from the clutches of the devil, he stubbornly said: "Okay, I bet with you, but you can say it, if I answer, you are not allowed to cheat." ”

The woman surnamed Zhu smiled contemptuously, "There is a woman in the north, who is known as the White Lotus Holy Maiden......"

When Li Xiangyi heard this, his spirit suddenly tensed: "Isn't this saying that there is anything else in the White Lotus Sect?" ”

"That woman has a secret method that can make the lotus seeds grow flowers in the three incense sticks...... You can explain it to me, why can lotus seeds bloom in an instant? ”

Li Xiangzhi frowned and said, "You're not fooling me, how can you make lotus seeds bloom in the time of three incense sticks?" Your information is not true, and it must be false. ”

"Well, though I have not seen it with my own eyes, my servants have seen it with their own eyes, and I have believed them. You can't answer it, do you?! ”

The woman surnamed Zhu looked at Li Xiangzhi playfully.

Li Xiangzhi lowered his head and pondered for a while, and suddenly remembered the Christmas tree and other toys that he had played with a long time ago, and then looked up and smiled at the female thief surnamed Zhu, and said, "I think that flower must be very small, not like a normal flower blooming in the air." Isn't it as small as a dense moss flower?"

The woman surnamed Zhu said in disbelief: "It's really not like a normal flower." How rare do you know why? ”

"Hey, hey, hey." Li Xiangzhi smiled proudly: "This kind of little trick can only stump the young and ignorant little girl...... Well, I didn't mean you. ”

The woman surnamed Zhu's face sank and said, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

"Well, I think so, these lotus seeds must have done some tricks, they must be a trick to deceive."

"It's up to you to say, I want the answer."

Li Xiangzhi can't guarantee that he can solve this answer, after all, he hasn't done experiments. However, according to the recipe circulating on the Internet, he said: "You take a few lotus seeds this year, put them in the hollowed out egg shells, and then seal the egg shells with paper, and put them under the hen that hatches the eggs for 21 days, and then you open them and wash them with cold tea, and wait for the shade to dry." Even if these lotus seeds are preliminary, they should be stored in a cool place. If you want to deceive someone, take it out, wash it with boiling water, and put it in the dirt, but the soil must be a sludge mixed with sulfur. In this way, in less than three incense sticks, you can have what you call flowering. ”

The woman surnamed Zhu was stunned for a moment, and after Li Xiangzhi finished speaking, she said, "You...... How do you know? Why is that? So that it can bloom? Why is that? Still wash with boiling water? You can't be, right? ”

Li Xiangzhi: "Why am I talking nonsense? ”

"Tell me what this principle is?"

"Girl, the truth always needs to be verified. If you don't verify, how can you be so sure I'm nonsense? ”

Li Xiangzhi can't explain those chemical reactions anyway. Then he said: "There are some principles that people can't explain now, just like food mold, you have also seen it, mold is hair, can you explain, how these molds grow?" ”

The woman surnamed Zhu said: "Things will naturally become moldy after a long time, do you still need to explain this?" ”

Li Xiangzhi: "The food is cooked, and there is no seed for it to take root and sprout, how does it grow?" I can't explain it at all! And why is it not easy to get moldy in winter, but easy to mold in summer? If you put food in ice and freeze it, it will never get moldy, you tell me why? What's with? If you explain it, I'll take your last name! ”
