Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Zhou family is very old

When she returned to the yard that Yang Li rented in Xihou Street, it was already past lunch time, and after all these years of tempering, Zhou's lead had faded, and she couldn't see a little bit of the delicate nature of a big woman.

If it weren't for Yang Li knowing Zhou's background, the Zhou family in front of him, who could fight with his buddy for an hour for a pound of rice, was actually more like a simple and unpretentious peasant woman.

There are more than ten rooms in the second courtyard, only two people live, it is really a waste, Zhou was so shocked when he walked in that he didn't speak for a long time, like a dirt bun that he had never seen on the market.

But after the shock, Yang Li's ears were sinned, what to live a life has to be carefully calculated, a month's rent of this house is enough for you to be bound for a year, as a man, you can do nothing, but you must not study, if you don't study, this life will be over......

As for whether it is useful to read the books of this era, Yang Li just smiled, as long as Zhou was happy, it was up to her to continue.

In this way, following behind Zhou's family, after she finished inspecting the houses one by one, Yang Li's ears finally fell silent.

"The house is quite clean, the things that should be there are complete, plus there are so many rooms, five taels a month is not expensive, but there is no one at home, just our mother and two lives, it is really a waste..."

It should be that seeing that Yang Li was not deceived by others, Zhou finally accepted the reality that the money was spent and spent.

Can it not be clean, the Su family sent someone to clean up for three days, and also on duty furniture and objects...

Yang Li muttered in his heart.

Although Zhou's mood was not bad, she leaned against the door frame, the eyes staring at Yang Li were clearly full of warnings, and a pair of rough hands stretched out in front of Yang Li and shook straight ahead: "What about the rest of the money?" You don't have a number, you don't know that people are sinister, you haven't been deceived this time, and you can't guarantee that you won't be deceived next time..."

The rest of the money?

Yang Li was stunned for at least three seconds when he heard this, but he didn't react immediately, and Zhou asked what the rest of the money meant.

Seeing Yang Li pretending to be stupid, Zhou snorted, and then said: "It's just a hundred taels of silver, look at your painful appearance, my mother was also the daughter of a big family when I was a child, and the pocket money to buy a jewelry is more than this money, besides, my mother doesn't spend yours, just save it for you, and when you study, marry, buy a house, and a family's firewood, rice, oil and salt, what does not need money?" ”

Saved for me?

Yang Li suddenly understood what Zhou meant by stretching out a hand in front of him for no reason.

This is Zhou's usual trick to deceive children of New Year's money: "Mother saves..."

The hand had already subconsciously taken out the cloth bag filled with more than a hundred taels of silver in his arms, but when he handed it halfway, Yang Li hesitated again, wondering: "Mother, the child is sixteen, should he be able to have some private money?" ”

"Isn't sixteen remarkable?"

Zhou snatched the money bag in his hand very domineeringly, didn't even look at it, as if it was ready, and stuffed a handful of copper coins in Yang Li's hand with the other hand.

And then... There is no then.

Just when Yang Li was looking at the more than ten copper coins in his hand in a daze, Zhou had already walked away humming a little song.

Turning a corridor, I couldn't see her figure anymore, and I heard her ask again: "Li'er, what do you want to eat?" Mother will do it for you..."

Yang Li didn't care about what he should eat, he still felt that Zhou's was too ruthless, and the pocket money of the more than ten copper plates in his hand was really pitiful, and he didn't even have a chance to trade with the system.

How else to play?

"Mother... Ten copper plates are not a little less..."

"Nothing less, it's enough to buy several strings of sugar gourds..."

"But the child has grown up, and has vowed never to eat sugar gourds again..."

"Didn't you like to eat sugar gourds the most when you were a kid? When was the oath made? Why doesn't my mother know?"

"It's an oath now, I haven't had time to tell you about it..."

……

Running in the direction that Zhou left, Yang Li chased a few steps, feeling that he should get at least ten taels of silver.

It's a pity that Zhou has already absconded with the money, and by the time Yang Li chased him to the front yard, Zhou had already rushed into the kitchen on the other side of the West Cross Courtyard.

Standing at the door, watching her keep brushing the pot, her mouth was still chattering angrily: "Why is it only more than a hundred taels of silver?" This is to save the life of the prefect's son, so give it so much?

The dignified prefect, it's really embarrassing to be able to get such a little silver, Su Yanxiang, don't think that the old lady doesn't know that you are bullying my family's stupidity, and the next time the old lady meets you, you must make up all the rest of the money back..."

Looking for money?

This... Is this really possible?

Yang Li listened to the cold sweat in his head, are all the ladies cultivated by big families this virtue?

In this regard, Yang Li seriously suspected that the old lady's descendant must be a fake big family, and he already regretted telling the old lady that his money was obtained from treating diseases and saving people.

The Zhou family in this body's memory didn't look at money like now!

Well, the memory of fools is always stereotyped, stiff and does not know how to distinguish!

If he had known, Yang Li would have made up a lie casually, and it was better to say that the money was picked up than to tell her the truth.

"Brother Li..."

"Divine Doctor Yang..."

Just when Yang Li was standing at the door of the kitchen, trying to get ten taels of silver from Zhou's hand, he heard someone shouting in the yard.

"Brother Zhi, you don't care well at home, what are you doing here?"

Coming from the West Cross Courtyard, Yang Li happened to see Su Zhi sitting on the sliding rod and walking over from Chong's side, and the paper kite was still waving at him with a smile.

As for this childish brother, he was called completely according to the previous agreement with Su Zhi, and it really seemed a lot more cordial.

"I'm bored at home every day, and I'm about to have a bird, can I play chess? Come and accompany my brother and I'll kill two sets..."

Play chess?

What kind of chess do people play in this era?

If it is Go, it is estimated that I will not be able to accompany it today, and it is said that the ancients loved Go.

Yang Li was puzzled, and saw that the paper kite had already beckoned people to set up a driving posture on the stone table under the ginkgo tree, and saw that there was an obvious Chu River and Han boundary on the drawings that were spread, Yang Li was immediately happy, rolled up his sleeves and smiled: "Come on, if you go I don't think I can accompany you, but chess, you can still get started...".

It is said that chess originated in the pre-Qin period and is a very old game, suitable for all ages! When it developed to the Ming Dynasty, it had actually been thoroughly studied, so Yang Li, a modern person with a soul, could not necessarily be said to win.

"Haha... No hurry, no hurry..."

Su Zhi saw that Yang Li was about to go into battle with his sleeves rolled, and he looked impatient, laughing and standing up from the sliding rod.

His eyes looked out of the courtyard for no reason, and a ruthless color that Yang Li didn't find flashed from his gaze, and pointed to a few men standing next to him, like sculptures, and said: "Before playing chess, let's enjoy the martial arts of my bodyguards, all of whom my father spent a lot of money to invite today..."
