Li Yan was also drunk, and when he returned to the Marquis's Mansion, it was already dark, because there had been a lot of trouble in the academy recently, and he didn't plan to go home in a short time, but as a gentleman, he naturally had to go home to get it when he had no money.

"Young Master, you're back."

Seeing that Li Yan was stumbling when he walked, and he might fall into the flowers beside the road at any time, the old housekeeper Li didn't seem to panic, and hurriedly beckoned a few people to come and support him.

Li Yan burped, gently pushed the subordinate who helped him away, and said with a smile: "Li Shu, where is my father?" ”

The old housekeeper replied, "The master is still in the study, so I'll go and tell him." ”

Li Yan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't call him!" I guess I'm going to be scolded again when I see him like this, so I'd better go to see his old man tomorrow morning. ”

"Okay, young master, the old slave helped you go back to rest." Seeing that he was swaying and unsteady, the old butler stepped forward to help him.

Li Yan nodded, followed the housekeeper to the courtyard, and said with a smile: "Uncle Li, shall I discuss something with you?" Recently, I have been short of money, how about asking the account office to bring me two thousand taels of silver? ”

The old housekeeper was not surprised, and still replied: "Okay young master, but the old master has instructed that the young master must inform him first when he withdraws money in the mansion." ”

Li Yan shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile: "Forget it, whether the money can be begged is another matter, and it is nine out of ten to ask for dozens of whips." ”

His eyes rolled twice, and he said, "Help me go to my sister's place, I haven't seen my sister for a long time, I miss it very much, and I go to reminisce about the past." ”

Li Yan and Li Yu have the same father and mother, their mother passed away earlier, and the relationship between the two siblings is very good, but in the eyes of outsiders, it seems that the younger sister is more stable and mature than the elder brother.

"Haha, does my sister miss being a brother? I miss my brother very much when he thinks hard about studying in the college. ”

Li Yan came to Li Yu's room, sat down as soon as he sat down, picked up the tea on the table by himself, poured a cup and drank it leisurely, completely ignoring Li Yu's murderous eyes.

Li Yu stood aside, wearing a light gauze dress, her hair was not tied up, she was casually draped over her shoulders, she looked very good-looking, and her eyes were cold: "That's really bitter brother, but I don't know which girl from Chunxianglou my brother is thinking about?" What gambling methods did you learn? ”

"Where does my sister say, being a brother is not that kind of person."

Li Yu saw Li Yan carrying the teapot and pouring water into the fine small teacup, concentrating, his eyes were staring at the old round, but the tea school still kept pouring outside, and he stepped forward angrily to snatch the tea set from Li Yan's hand, helped him pour a cup, and put it heavily in front of Li Yan.

Li Yan smiled and said, "It's still better for my sister to be a brother." He took the teacup on the table and drank it all in one gulp, and finally it was a little clearer.

Li Yu sat down across from him and asked, "Have you seen your father?" ”

Li Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Where do you dare, you must not be killed." ”

Li Yu gently smoothed her long hair, hating Tie and said: "Brother, our mother died early, and you are the only son of a man in the family, but why do you always make your father angry?" ”

Li Yan looked at his sister, seemed a little confused, and let out a long breath and said, "I prefer to be a turtle dove that lets me fly rather than being a peacock in a cage." ”

"But the behemoth of the Li family still has to fight against you in the end."

"Isn't there still your all-powerful sister?" Li said with a smile.

Li Yu didn't get angry when she heard this, but shook her head slightly disappointed: "After all, I am my daughter's family, and my husband and children are what I should do." ”

"Yang Zili from the Chu Palace's Mansion has come to mention kissing several times, and my father told me to think about it."

"Bump!" Li Yan slapped his palm on the table and stood up, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "I don't agree!" What kind of thing is Yang Zili! Worthy of marrying my sister too? I don't beat him all over the ground! ”

Yang Zili, the prince of the Chu Palace, knew Li Yan, that person was even more bastard than himself, he didn't even go to Zongxue, he soaked in Chunxiang Building all day long, sooner or later he would have to die of Hua Liu, and his sister would not have a good life if she married her.

Li Yu smiled bitterly: "But marrying with the Chu Wangfu is the most correct political choice for us." ”

Li Yan waved his hand impatiently and scolded: "Don't mention any political choices to me, I don't understand, I don't want to understand, I just know that I am just a sister like you, I can't watch you jump into the fire pit, then I don't have the face to go down to see my mother, if it doesn't work, I'll go and waste Yang Zili's dog legs, I don't think he dares to hit you." ”

Li Yu smiled, although his brother does not learn and has no skills, he has never discounted his love for himself since he was a child.

"If you really care about me, take care of this family and don't let my sister show her face outside."

Seeing his sister smile, Li Yan thought about it and sat down and said seriously: "I'm much more serious now, and I have something to do when I come back today." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I'm going to do business!"

Yang Yi had a terrible headache when he got up in the morning, he hadn't been so drunk for a long time, maybe because he had raised money, or maybe because he had made a few brothers who looked good, in short, Yang Yi remembered that the last time he was drunk was through that night, and asked Liu Wenzheng's wife to boil a bowl of sobering soup to drink, and then he was much more sober.

Yang Yidu, Liu Wenzheng and his wife and Chu Dongsheng were busy with the affairs of the embroidery and painting village all morning, and now they are extremely short of manpower, and many things need to be done by themselves.

It wasn't until noon that several sworn brothers rushed back one after another.

Wang Fei will come back first, and as soon as he enters the door, he is like a victorious soldier returning from a triumphant journey, shouting angrily in an earth-shattering voice: "Lao Tzu is back!" ”

After saying that, he slapped the silver ticket of two thousand taels on the table with a "snap", and looked at everyone proudly.

The money is very simple, as soon as his mother heard that her son, who had never used his brain, was going to do business with his classmates, Hao took out the money without hesitation, and even rarely asked what kind of business he was going to do.

For Wang Feijiang's mother, he never expected his naïve son to learn anything in Guozixue, but only hoped that he could learn the brain scriptures flexibly and suffer less losses in the future.

Compared with the triumph of General Wang Fei, when Li Yan came back, it was like losing his soul, but the money was borrowed, and he spent two thousand taels of silver in vain.

But he paid a terrible price: he promised his sister that he would never go to the casino and Chunxiang House again.

In Yang Yi's words, this kind of thing means that the enemy is injured by 800 and the self is damaged by 1,000.

Li Yan said sadly: "It's okay not to go to the casino, there are many places where you can gamble, but if you don't go to Chunxianglou, your good young ladies will love themselves every day, and wash your face with tears." ”

Of course, no one would believe such words, or Yang Yi felt that Li Yan's so-called friendship should be washing his face with tears for the lost silver.
