"This money is not mine!"

"Humph! Of course it's not yours, and judging by where you live, you don't deserve it! ”

Li Xiangzhi was a little angry. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info suddenly stood up and faced the woman, the woman was not tall, a head shorter than Li Xiangzhi, seeing Li Xiangzhi's movements, but only slightly surprised, but there was no more guard, and even looked at Li Xiangzhi like a dead man.

Li Xiangzhi's face was calm but said coldly: "I'm afraid the girl misunderstood, I didn't bring back this money." Of course, it's not mine, but even if it's not my money, I'm afraid it may not be the girl's money. ”

The woman's eyes narrowed slightly: "It's not my money." ”

Li Xiangzhi said lightly: "It's really not my money, I have a friend's house in trouble, I went out this morning and got it, since I'm here, I asked the girl to leave with the money, and I won't send it next." ”

"You're funny, don't ask whose money it is? And ask me if I believe what you say, so that I don't worry about me killing you with a sword? ”

"I don't care whose money it is, there is a lot of money in the world, if I care about who belongs to it one by one, wouldn't it be exhausting to death? I also believe that the girl is not a murderer, I am just a flat-headed commoner, why should the girl be embarrassed by me? ”

"How do you know I'm not a murderer?"

"So much money, as little as five hundred taels of silver ingots, looking at the girl's expression but not caring about the money, how can a person who is not greedy for money be thirsty for killing?"

The woman was silent for a moment, but she was able to chase Gu Jintong to this place under the injury, which showed that the woman still cared a little about the whereabouts of the money. It's just that Li Xiangzhi doesn't understand the woman's current situation.

"I killed you like a pig and a dog, and I will spare you today, if I hear some rumors outside, it is not too late to turn around and kill you."

When Li Xiangzhi heard this, he immediately felt at ease, and said: "Don't worry, this bloody money, I am more afraid of rumors than you, and I should be tight-lipped." ”

"So much the best!"

The woman held the sword in her right hand, and her left hand was slightly about to mention the money, and she suddenly snorted softly when she mentioned it, but she couldn't lift it, Li Xiangzhi thought about it, the gold and silver added up to eight or nine catties, and her small body also had to be weighed, thinking of this, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Li Xiangzhi immediately knew what the problem was, the woman returned the sword into the sheath, skillfully lifted the package with her right hand, carried it on her right shoulder, and then turned out of the door, her legs bent slightly, and she flew out of the wall with a slight vertical.

"Light...... Light work? Li Xiangzhi suddenly exclaimed.

Looking at the dark night, Li Xiangzhi retracted his gaze with great envy, and secretly thought at this time: "Damn, the ancients really had light skills?" If you also have this kind of high and high ability, then it will be no problem to steal jade and incense in the future. ”

"This woman is probably injured in her left arm."

After a while, a knock on the door interrupted Li Xiangzhi's train of thought.

When the door opened, Gu Jintong suddenly saw that Li Xiangzhi's right shoulder collar was dyed red, and he suddenly said in horror: "Brother...... You...... Where did the blood on your neck come from? ”

Li Xiangzhi touched it lightly and said angrily: "It's not that you were harmed." ”

"Me?"

"A female thief came just now, and as soon as she entered the door, she wanted to kill me, saying that I took her money."

"Huh? Is there such a thing? Gu Jintong exclaimed.

"Didn't you say that when you came back, all the people were dead? Why are you still being followed? ”

"I ...... I don't know very well, but in the morning it was still gray, and I was in a panic, and I didn't expect to let my brother suffer such an unjustified calamity, and I was really guilty. ”

"Forget it, forget it, it's okay, the money is withdrawn, and it is also worry-free."

Gu Jintong suddenly said happily: "Exactly, exactly, the money is in my hands, I can't be at peace for a moment, and now I only feel relaxed, thanks to that woman." ”

"Phew! The female thief stabbed me with a sword, and you still have to thank her? ”

"No, no, that's not what the little brother meant. Wait a minute, brother, I'll go get herbs to stop the bleeding. ”

Li Xiangzhi covered his neck, estimating that the wound was not deep, and after the blood flowed for a while, the wound clotted and the blood no longer flowed.

The door of Su's house was open, and Li Xiangzhi timidly cowered into it, so the cowardice originated from Uncle Su Tong.

Li Xiangzhi was afraid of Uncle Su Tong just because he was afraid that Uncle Su Tong would test his scriptures.

"The little nephew has seen Uncle Su and Aunt Su!"

"Sit down. No need to be polite. Su Tang smiled and let Li Xiangzhi take a seat.

Li Xiangzhi observed his words and saw that Uncle Su Tong and Su Tang were not in a bad mood today, and he suddenly became less restrained.

Uncle Su Tong tasted the fragrant tea and said: "I just heard about the competition between you and Wu Middle School today, although it is not based on the scriptures and words, but it can also be used as evidence for your talents." It is also common for poor children such as us to have or lack of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and it is still forgivable that you are not as good as Wu Middle School. However, since your poems are a little successful, then don't delay the scriptures, the imperial examination is promising. ”

"Yes, the little nephew will remember his uncle's teachings, and he will definitely study poetry and books diligently in the future and study for the imperial examination."

Su Tang didn't want to see such a topic, and said busily: "Reading is a lifelong thing, reading is important, but the family is the same." The ancients had a saying: start a family. Men get married first, and start a business last. This cannot be delayed. ”

Uncle Su Tong didn't refute either, as if he was silent.

Li Xiangzhi: "What my aunt said is very true, but the little nephew has achieved nothing now, and the day and night are not guaranteed." Wait a little longer, and you will definitely come to hire in the scenery. ”

Li Xiangzhi may be telling the truth, he should be rich soon, he thinks so, but Uncle Su Tong and Su Tang don't think so.

Su Tang said: "My aunt is also from here, and you scholars are full of people." This is the very fact that making money to support the family is insufficient. ”

Uncle Su Tong frowned suddenly, slightly dissatisfied, and was glanced at by Su Tang, so he didn't say anything.

"Now that you have rented a place to live in Suzhou, why don't you get married first?"

"Huh?" Li Xiangzhi was slightly stunned, and also admired Su Tang's family a little, for her, this was a loss-making business, Li Xiangzhi was a poor ghost, and he was anxious to marry a woman. Suddenly, Li Xiangzhi thought of a possibility: Could it be that Su Mingyue is extremely ugly? Or is there some hidden disease?

Li Xiangzhi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. "Well, this aunt, I've made a little money selling paintings recently, but if I marry Mingyue immediately, I'm afraid that Mingyue will suffer!"

"The ancients said: marry a beggar with a beggar, marry with a beggar! What can I do about the marriage contract? In another month, Mingyue will be eighteen, and it can't be delayed. I still have some private money, so it's a big deal to sell a few acres of land to make up enough for thirty or forty taels......"

Li Xiangzhi was a little ashamed, he didn't pay a penny from his wife, but his mother-in-law bought him a furniture banquet. Uncle Su Tong's face suddenly fell, and he said politely, "Madam...... Why don't you wait a little longer? Our family doesn't have much money to spare! ”

"Wait? You are still a scholar. If you get married later, you're not afraid of provoking shame? ”

The marriage age of women in the Ming Dynasty was generally 13 to 16 years old, and the law stipulated that the marriage age was 14 years old. The woman is upright and youthful, but the woman is married late, either the woman can't afford the dowry, or the daughter is ugly or has all kinds of problems.

Su Mingyue will be twenty-nine years old in the next month, and if she doesn't get married, it won't be enough, after all, it is a scholarly family, and when it comes to face issues, it is a big deal.

The people of the Su family do not dislike the poor and love the rich, but after all, they are all scholars, although they are down now, but they also want to save face, and the wedding still has to be more beautiful.

Uncle Su Tong looked embarrassed, and he couldn't afford to give birth to this wife.
