Chapter 39: Generosity
The sun is in the sky, at this time Xiaoxi Lake has gradually become hot, the competition is over, the first four games of Wuzhong Academy won, the last four games of Xiangcheng Academy won, this result made most people unexpected. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although the results were dissatisfied with the gamblers, those who did not participate in the gambling game were all full of joy.
So far, Li Xiangzhi has also gained a lot. It's famous. After Li Xiangzhi's people were not allowed to be educated and encouraged, they gathered in the drunken hall.
"Today's competition ended perfectly."
Zhang Mengjin took a sip of sweet wine and shouted, "How is it perfect!" Hey, I was played like that by you on the spot, where do you put my face? ”
Li Xiangzhi sneered and said, "I haven't said you yet?" Qingzhi told me about this competition, but I waited for eight people to have fun in private, and this is like this, it's not bad for you? ”
"This ......" Zhang Mengjin knew that he was at a loss, and said, "Isn't this to improve our good reputation?" ”
"Yes, yes, it's good, this time a few of us have become the stepping stones of your four sons in Wuzhong. You've raised your reputation, and we've been spurned. I almost took off my pants and ran in public! Xu Qingzhi shouted without hesitation.
"Hey...... Fortunately, I waited for the end of the draw, how could I say that the spitting was so serious? ”
Xu Changming also said coolly: "Qingzhi and I haven't won against you and others, if it's just a weekday, this time I will definitely lose face when I return to the academy." ”
Xu Qingzhi said, "What academy do you go back to?" Do you have a face? ”
Tang Bohu said: "The two virtuous brothers are serious, just have fun." Eat the wine and meat today, count it in. ”
Xu Qingzhi and Xu Changming suddenly turned their anger into joy, and ordered more than a dozen meat dishes, as if they were going to eat for several hours before leaving.
The eight of them ate and drank until the banquet in the evening, and Li Xiangzhi walked home with a shy belly and a satisfied sunset.
When he returned home, he suddenly found that Gu Jintong, who had a two-sided relationship, was waiting at the door of his house.
Li Xiangzhi was shocked: "Brother Gu? ”
Seeing Li Xiangzhi coming back, Gu Jin said happily: "Oh, Brother Li." You're back. I also went to Xiaoxi Lake before noon, and I really admired Brother Li's talent! ”
"Also...... It's okay, right? Li Xiangzhi introduced the ancient and modern into his home. Said embarrassedly: "Broken house and leaky room, don't laugh!" ”
"No, no, my family isn't much better."
"Uh...... Brother Gu, what are you coming to me for today? ”
Gu Jintong was quite embarrassed and said: "My brother Li is talented, and now he has passed the childhood test at such an age, so he came to study." ”
Li Xiangzhi said dumbly: "What? Study? To me? ”
"Ahh That's right. ”
"Don't be kidding, other things are okay, this thing can't be done, it's not good to mislead people's children."
Gu Jintong hurriedly said: "Brother Li, something happened suddenly, and I have to be cheeky to study." ”
Li Xiangzhi said strangely: "What the hell is going on with you? ”
"Alas, it's a long story, my father died a few years ago, and my mother has been in charge of the housework for me all these years. Now my mother is in poor health, and my younger brother is already surrounded by four walls and has no money. But the younger brother is determined to study. ”
Li Xiangzhi is a little clear, today's private school gentlemen are not all good people, they want money, they don't have money, they don't care if you study well or not.
This ancient and modern pass is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but it is difficult for him, in Li Xiangzhi's view, a little kid who has entered the society early, this scene is similar to Li Xiangzhi.
Li Xiangzhi was embarrassed and said: "Brother Jintong, you should have heard about me more or less, I once suffered from lost soul, the poetry is acceptable, but the scriptures are ...... I really don't dare to teach you. Do you understand? ”
Gu Jintong nodded in disappointment and said, "I also know a thing or two about this matter......
"And what do you live on now?"
"Now my mother is bedridden, the decoction is constant, I don't dare to leave home for too long, there are only a few acres of thin fields left outside the city are rented out, go out in the morning to write letters for others, return home at noon, dare not leave home in the afternoon and evening, can only read and write to take care of the old mother."
Li Xiangzhi was a little sympathetic to the ancient and modern times, and he didn't know how to help him, so he could only say: "Let's go, go to your house and see your aunt!" ”
Gu Jintong's home is only five minutes away from Li Xiangzhi, and there are some farmland manors farther away, which shows how remote Li Xiangzhi's place is.
Gu Jintong's home is much bigger than Li Xiangzhi's current residence, but looking at the layout of the house, you can know that the family is extremely poor. A strong smell of herbs came from the courtyard. Gu's mother is in good spirits, but she is too worried, her body is seriously paralyzed, and it is difficult to get out of bed and walk. After Li Xiangzhi saw it, he came out after a while.
Gu Jintong sent Li Xiangzhi out of the door and said, "Thank you, Brother Li, for coming to visit my mother today." ”
"We're neighbors, so we're polite. But in your mother's case, I think it's better to hire a nanny to serve you. ”
Gu Jintong sighed: "Now it's hard to even pay for medicine, let alone hire a servant to serve." Children of poor families, what kind of life! ”
Li Xiangzhi silently went deep into his arms, took out three pieces of silver, handed them to Gu Jintong and said, "You can use this money to buy medicine for your aunt." ”
Gu Jintong was stunned for a moment, Li Xiangzhi actually took out three taels of silver, which is also a lot for ordinary people, not to mention that Li Xiangzhi's house is still rented, and the rent is simple.
Li Xiangzhi doesn't care, no matter in his past or present life, he is about to look down on life, what can't he see through? If you have more money, you will enjoy it, and if you have less money, you will go hungry calmly.
"This?" Gu Jintong's lips trembled slightly, and he couldn't believe it.
Li Xiangzhi smiled and said, "Take it, I understand your current situation." I'm now a son who wants to be raised but can't be a parent. But you're better than me. ”
Gu Jintong suddenly burst into tears and choked up: "This ...... The money ...... You ......"
"The money I can take out means that I can't starve to death, don't let my mother-in-law go. If you have money in the future, you can pay me back double. ”
Gu Jintong said emotionally: "Brother is gracious, brother...... It will be reported in the future! ”
…………
Li Xiangzhi now has a little more than two taels of silver, and it seems that he has to hurry up and find a way to make money. Buying a house, buying a BMW, marrying a beautiful daughter-in-law is indispensable, Li Xiangzhi is constantly looking forward to it.
With Li Xiangzhi's gift, Gu Jintong and Li Xiangzhi are more familiar, Li Xiangzhi also has a deeper understanding of the ancient and modern people's personality, his people are filial piety, and some scholars have pedantic strength for fame, as if the only feasible way in the world is the imperial examination, so they are not good at making money.
One day, early in the morning, Li Xiangzhi got up and dressed up, and suddenly heard a crackling sound in his yard. Immediately suspicious.
Li Xiangzhi secretly wondered: "Could it be that a thief is coming?" No, there is that stupid thief who came to steal my poor ghost, as the so-called moon is dark and the wind is high, and the thief preference, this theft time is not right, right? ”
Li Xiangzhi suddenly pressed his nervousness, picked up the bench with his hand, slowly opened the door and came out, and suddenly found that a person was cowering in the corner of his house, trembling all over, and was playing with something, accompanied by the sound of water, sprinkling and moving. Li Xiangzhi was shocked, that corner was where Li Xiangzhi usually released water.
Li Xiangzhi shouted: "Hey! ”
The man trembled suddenly, quickly turned around, and stared at Li Xiangzhi in shock.
Li Xiangzhi saw the face of the comer, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Hey, I'm a thief, Jintong, what are you doing early in the morning?" ”
Gu Jintong's face was pale, and his hands trembled and he was silent for a while. Li Xiangzhi suddenly noticed that there were bright red blood stains on his trembling hands. Suddenly, his face changed greatly, "You...... You......? ”
Seeing Li Xiangzhi's terrifying color, Gu and Jin said urgently: "Brother...... I...... I. ”
Li Xiangzhi noticed that there was a faint silver glow in his pool, and his face suddenly changed again, and he shouted in a low voice: "You killed people and robbed money?" ”
