Early the next morning, Li Yanqing found the new patriarch Li Zhen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Zhen has been extremely busy in the past ten days, counting the family property and building the ancestral hall, so busy that his feet don't stop, but he is busy, and his mood is extremely comfortable.

"Yanqing, you came just in time, I have something important to tell you."

Li Zhenshen mysteriously pulled Li Yanqing into the back room and said in a low voice: "I also got the news in the county yesterday that Li Wengui died of illness the night before yesterday. ”

"I'm sick and dead, how can it be?" Li Yanqing didn't believe this statement a little.

"Actually, I don't believe it, it was Dutou Wang Shun who told me, Jiang Dadao dedicated Li Wengui's wealth to Tong Guan, and then Li Wengui died of illness, anyone with a discerning eye knows what's going on, but people insist that they are sick and die, what can you do?"

Li Wengui died, and a stinger hidden in Li Yanqing's heart disappeared, and he said coldly: "Evil is rewarded, no one will pity it, but the family wealth that he embezzled fell into the pockets of others, it's a pity!" ”

Li Zhen didn't care, he felt that wealth could be recreated, but Li Wengui's oppression on everyone's head was gone, which made people feel comfortable.

"Yanqing, you came to me so early, is there anything wrong?"

One sentence reminded Li Yanqing that he did have something, and Li Yanqing smiled and said: "I want to ask the patriarch for a favor, I brought Uncle Hu's daughter back, she doesn't have a household registration now, can you get a household registration in our village?" ”

"You mean Qing'er?"

Li Yanqing nodded, and Li Zhen was suddenly surprised: "What happened to Hu Sheng?" ”

"He participated in the resistance to taxes and has been arrested by the government, Aunt Hu died in prison, Qing'er was redeemed by me, but there is no household registration, I want to reclassify her in Li Wen Village, the patriarch sees if there is any way?"

Li Yanqing made up a reason lightly, and Li Zhen didn't want to delve into it, he thought about it and said, "Qing'er is eight or nine years old this year!" ”

"I'm eight years old!"

Li Zhen took a few steps with his hand in his hand, and suddenly smiled: "I think of a person, Li Zhong'er, do you know?" ”

Li Yanqing immediately had a face like the Loess Plateau in his mind, he knew that this person was Li Zhen's cousin, his family was in the northernmost part of Li Wen Village, his family was poor, and he had a son named Li Xiaoyong, who had been sponsored by himself to study in Lushan School for two years.

"I know!"

"Li Zhong'er gave birth to a daughter seven years ago, and died of illness when she was one year old, but he has not closed his account, anyway, he has no land, and he doesn't have to pay taxes, I'll go tell him, let Qing'er take this account!"

Li Yanqing said happily: "It's better to go now, why don't we go and talk to him together!" ”

.........

Li Zhong'er belongs to a relatively poor family in the Li family, and the situation is slightly better than that of Li Daqi in the past, the whole family lives by renting fifty acres of family land, Li Zhong'er is only in his early thirties, but he looks like he is in his fifties, his skin is dark, his face is covered with deep wrinkles, and his hands are extremely rough.

When Li Zhong'er saw the arrival of the patriarch and Li Yanqing, he was at a loss, and hurriedly invited them into the house, Li Zhen smiled and said, "The sun is good today, just sit in the courtyard!" ”

Li Zhen knew that the situation at his home was very bad, and he didn't want Li Yanqing to see it, so he found two stools in the yard, wiped them with his sleeves and asked Li Yanqing to sit down, Li Zhong'er went to tell the Hun family to boil water, Li Zhen waved his hand, "Don't be busy, just sit down for a while!" ”

Li Zhong'er stood in front of Li Zhen and rubbed his hands, looking very nervous, he was very worried that the patriarch would take back the clan field and not plant it for himself.

Li Yanqing found a small stool and put it in front of him, and said with a smile: "Sit down and talk!" ”

Li Zhong'er sat on the stool with half his buttocks, waiting for the patriarch to speak nervously, Li Zhen understood his thoughts, so he smiled and said: "I'm not here to take back your field, on the contrary, if you have the ability, I can rent you another fifty acres." ”

Li Zhong'er was like a plastic man who was cheered, her waist straightened all of a sudden, and she rubbed her hands and said excitedly: "If there is a cow, I can plant a hundred acres of land." ”

Li Yanqing next to him said with a smile: "Uncle Zhong will plant a hundred acres of land!" I'll give you a cow. ”

Li Zhong'er was startled, and waved her hand again and again, "How can I want Xie Yuan's cow, I can't ask for it!" ”

The cattle of the Great Song Dynasty belong to the exclusive control of the imperial court, in order to ensure farming, the imperial court strictly controls the price, the price is about the same as a donkey, fifteen yuan can buy a healthy cow, with Li Yanqing's current financial resources, buying a cow is a trivial matter.

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Of course the cow is not for you, I will also ask you for a favor." ”

"What can I do to help Xie Yuan?"

Li Zhen said on the side: "When I cleaned up the household registration for the county last autumn, I found that you also have a daughter at home, named Sanniang, but in fact she died six years ago, I'm not wrong!" ”

Li Zhong'er didn't know what had happened, his face showed a look of fear, and he timidly explained: "My Hun family has always missed this daughter, so.... Failure to cancel the household registration in a timely manner. ”

Li Zhen waved his hand, "I'm not looking for you to find any stubble, in the past, Hu Sheng in our village committed an accident and was arrested by the government, Yanqing rescued her daughter, but because she has no household registration, it just so happens that you have an empty account here, so give it to Yanqing!" I won't treat you badly, not only will I lease you another fifty acres of good land, but at the same time, the tenant rent will be reduced by three percent, and Yanqing is also willing to give you a cow, and your family's life will be much better in the future, what do you think? ”

Li Zhong'er thought for a while, and then asked cautiously, "Is Lao Hu's daughter going to live in our house?" ”

Li Yanqing laughed, "It's just a name, she lives in my house, and we will say something about it during the New Year's holidays in the future." ”

"That's no problem, I can promise!"

Li Zhong'er left his daughter's household registration just a kind of nostalgia, but he didn't expect that this empty household registration would bring him huge benefits, and he was ecstatic for a while, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

At this time, a young man walked in from outside, about thirteen or fourteen years old, it was Li Zhong'er's son Li Xiaoyong, Li Zhong'er hurriedly beckoned to him, "Yong'er, come and kowtow to the patriarch and Xie Yuan!" ”

Li Xiaoyong hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, kowtowed and saluted, "Xiaoyong salutes the patriarch and reconciled the yuan!" ”

Li Zhen smiled, "Good boy, hurry up!" ”

Li Xiaoyong stood up, Li Yanqing looked at him, and saw that he was of medium stature, with broad shoulders and a thick back, and a very strong figure, which was a fight with the iron pillar. looks honest and honest.

Li Yanqing suddenly had a good impression in his heart, so he gave Li Zhen a look, how shrewd Li Zhen was, he immediately understood what Li Yanqing meant, and asked with a smile: "What is Xiao Yong doing now?" ”

Li Zhong'er sighed, "This kid is too honest, his face is red when he talks to outsiders, and he can only eat in the field with me." ”

Li Zhen thought for a while and said, "That's it! The grocery store in the county still lacks a night watchman, and he doesn't have much work, just to carry goods every day, and then live in the store at night, a hundred dollars a day, is Xiaoyong willing to do it? ”

Li Xiaoyong suddenly looked at his father expectantly, although Li Zhong'er was a little reluctant, but he also knew that his son had grown up and wanted to go out for a walk, so he nodded, "As long as Xiaoyong is willing, I have no opinion!" ”

Li Zhen smiled, "Then we'll make a decision!" ”

In fact, Li Zhen's store didn't need people, he understood that Li Yanqing had taken a fancy to this Li Xiaoyong, and he should want to bring him to the store in the capital.

The two immediately said goodbye, and when they left Li Zhong'er's house, Li Zhen asked with a smile: "Yanqing also thinks that their family's Li Xiaoyong is good, right?" ”

Li Yanqing nodded, "My father wrote to me before, asking me to take a few Li family children to the capital, I have been paying attention, this Li Xiaoyong feels good." ”

"He has been honest since he was a child, and he has always been bullied by my two boys, not to mention, I will now arrange Li Zhonger's Ding property book, improve Xiao Qinger's household registration, and Yanqing will take her to the capital in the future, as long as she buys a house in the capital, she can move her household registration there, so that it will be seamless."

"Thank you Uncle San for your great help!"

The two said a few more words, Li Zhen hurriedly left, Li Yanqing immediately went home, just walked into the yard, but saw in front of a small table, two little ladies head to head, magpie is seriously teaching Qing'er to read.

Magpie has been following Li Yanqing for a year, smart and studious, very perceptive, has basically read a thousand words, can barely read "The Great Sage Monster Hunt", and she is very good as a teacher, when she lived in the county seat, she taught Wang Gui and Tang Huai's maids to read and write, and at this time there was a Qing'er at home, and she couldn't help but be a master.

"The word 'Li' of the petty official is a wood on the top and a son on the bottom, so it is called Muzi Li."

"Is that how it is written?" Qing'er took a pen and wrote a word on the paper.

"The wood is too big, it should be the same size as the top and bottom, write it like this, I'll teach you, take your time!"

Li Yanqing saw that the two of them were engrossed, so he didn't disturb them, and quietly walked into his room, walking into the room, he took off his outer robe, and was just about to sit down at the table, but he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, only to see that the sword he hung on the wall was placed on the table at some point.
