Chapter 3: Back to the Black Cauldron

After Li Boyu went home, he went straight back to his room to sleep, and he was indeed a little tired. He wanted to get a good night's sleep and continue to experience a new life tomorrow.

He did sleep soundly, and he was still asleep until the sun broke the next day. Suddenly, someone grabbed him by the ear and lifted him from the bed.

He opened his sleepy eyes, and it was not until the face in front of him, which was usually his mother's, gradually changed into an old man's face, that he remembered that he was no longer the same person he used to be.

In my memory, the old man in front of me is his father Li Sixun, in fact, he can also be called an old man, and his father is in his forties. Because he has a mustache and is very rich, he looks a little old.

The father in my memory is a businessman, and his ancestral home is Xinzheng, Henan. He started as a tailor as a young man and later went out to do business. His father was unwilling to be a ninth-rate person in his bones, and he desperately accumulated wealth and strived to be looked down upon by others. Later, his father opened a Li Ji silk and satin garment shop in the capital city of Bianjing, a prosperous and wealthy place. On Bianhe West Street, it not only sells silk and satin, but also gives people tailor-made clothes, and sells ready-to-wear for men, women and children, and the daily business is very prosperous.

Although wars often occurred in the surrounding countries of the Great Song Dynasty, the country and the people were still safe in Bianjing, the people lived a prosperous life, and people paid more attention to clothing. The business of Li Ji silk and satin garment shop is very good, and soon the business is getting bigger and bigger, and now there is a branch in the east, west, north and south of Bianjing. The Li family had their own pleasure boat on the Bianhe River, transporting merchants back and forth between the north and the south. There are also a number of cargo ships that specialize in transporting cloth and clothing. In recent years, along the banks of the waterways of the Bianhe River and the canal, in six provinces and eight cities, eight branches of Li Ji silk and satin garment shops have been opened.

Seeing his father's anger now, Li Boyu suddenly remembered that it might be that he was obsessed with cultivating and practicing martial arts in the past, and he had no intention of doing business for a while, and wanted to stay away from Hongchen, which annoyed his father. Because his father always wanted to pass on the family business to him, and he didn't accept it, it caused a little tension between father and son.

"Bastard, what are you looking at? Don't know your dad? ”

Li Sixun saw his son staring in a daze, so he came up and gave his son a big mouth.

"Oh, Dad, how do you beat people?"

Li Boyu was beaten when he met this father for the first time, and the whole person was a little blind. What's going on? He is willing to do business, but he used to play games and become obsessed, and he dreamed of marrying a daughter-in-law, and he never thought of becoming a monk.

"It's still light, you come with me!"

"Where are you going?"

"Less nonsense!"

Li Sixun directly grabbed Li Boyu's ears and dragged him all the way to the yard. The servants were all trembling with fear, and it seemed that the master was really angry today.

"Uncle Zong, go to the family law!"

Before he could understand what was going on, he was pressed to a bench by the servants and tied to it with a rope. At this time, his drowsiness disappeared, this is the rhythm of being beaten?

Sure enough, Old Man Li took a very thick stick, picked it up and landed on Li Boyu's buttocks.

"Ahh

Li Boyu has already screamed, no matter how high this martial arts is, his body is also fleshy and skinny, and he has no superpowers. Even though the skin on the buttocks is rough and thick, it hurts to hit the big stick on it.

"Oops, hey, Dad, why do you hit people indiscriminately?"

"It's you who beats, look at how you usually wilt, this is no worse than your brother when it comes to embarrassing the Li Mansion."

"I, why am I embarrassed?"

"Hey, you still have the face to ask me?"

Li Sixun was really ruthless, picked up the big stick, and grinned at Li Boyu.

"Dad, I really don't know what went wrong?"

"I told you not to know, so you didn't know!"

Okay, this Li Sixun picked up a stick and beat people addicted, and he was tired and sweating profusely. Everyone thought it was over, but he handed the stick to the servant beside him.

"Keep fighting, until you know when you know."

The servant had the master's orders, and he did not dare to be soft, so he picked up a round stick and beat it.

Li Boyu was so angry in his heart, why didn't anyone come to save him, this wouldn't be hung up on the second day in ancient times, right? I waited until my ass bloomed and the helper arrived.

A plainly dressed woman hurried into the courtyard and stopped the servant's stick.

Li Boyu knew that this was his mother, although she was old, she still had charm, and she was a virtuous woman at first glance. At the same time, a voice in his body reminded him that he knew qigong. Hey, I was beaten just now, how did I forget this stubble, and I was beaten in vain.

"Lady, don't stop me, I'll kill this embarrassing brute."

"Xianggong, you can't just listen to what the old bustard of Wanhualou said, you will beat someone without investigating this matter clearly."

Li Boyu saw that his mother's tears were about to come out, and he was also sour, it seems that only his mother in this world treats her children as her heart. He blinked, thinking that something was wrong, he searched all his memories, and there was no such thing as Wanhualou.

"Dad, I don't know anyone from Wanhualou."

"Hey, you kid doesn't have a rotten mouth. When I enter a place like Wanhualou, I won't say anything, after all, I didn't marry you early, and my father didn't expect it to happen. But if you go to that kind of place, you can't go without paying! Is our family short of money? There is no shortage! You let the old bustard block the door in the morning to spend money on wine, where do you put your father and my old face? This Li family's face has been lost to you. ”

When Li Boyu heard it, what? What the? Go to a brothel and still owe money? This is too much information, but he really can't remember when he went to Wanhualou to drink flower wine before?

"How? Do you remember? I didn't wronged you! ”

"Wrong, absolutely wronged, I haven't done that kind of thing."

At this time, his three younger brothers also ran over. Li Jiyuan came up and untied the rope, it seems that the youngest brother is not in vain. Li Boyu bent over, the skin of this buttocks was open, it really hurt, if he didn't know martial arts, he would probably be crippled by this father's beating.

"Dad, I can testify that my eldest brother never went to a brothel, because I was with him every day, and I don't know what he does."

Uncle Li also said: "Yes, our brothers are tired of being together every day, and it is impossible for the eldest brother to go to that kind of place." ”

Li Sixun rolled his eyes, and his anger had subsided. There are too many things in business, and he has been a little irritable for the past two days. As a result, as soon as I went out in the morning, I met the brothel boss at the door to ask for an account. I heard that the eldest son drank flower wine and did not give money, which directly subverted his opinion of the eldest son. So he came over angrily and beat his eldest son, and the fire was extinguished.

When Li Boyu saw his second brother's unnatural expression, he knew that he had a ghost in his heart. Because the third and fourth children are still young, only his second brother can do things in and out of the brothel. was wrongfully accused of drinking flowers and wine without giving money for no reason, which made him lose face and was beaten severely. It seems that if you don't wash away your grievances, you won't be able to get mixed up.

As soon as he wanted to speak, he saw his mother whispering a few words to his father, and his father suddenly turned his anger into joy.

"Uncle bird, it's not a big deal that you've been to Wanhualou, this time I beat you, it's really my father who is a little impulsive. If you can go to a brothel, it means that you are enlightened. You can go if you want to go in the future, but you have to bring enough money. Can't let people block the door and ask for money, this matter will be spread out and affect the reputation of the Li family. ”

Well, this is his own father, who actually encouraged his son to go to a brothel. Li Boyu is not that kind of person, he is a yellow man, and he hasn't married yet, how could he go to that kind of place?

"Take care of your injuries, but you can't go to a place like Wanhualou every day. Also, look for a girl who is innocent. ”

These are the words that Li Boyu's mother left before leaving. In order to let her son recover from his injuries, she took everyone away, leaving only one servant to serve Li Boyu.

Looking at everyone's distant figures, Li Boyu patted his head, slowly, slowly, why did he become a person who drank flower wine and didn't give money? Who is this black pot for? Which bastard actually pretended to be himself to go to a brothel and was beaten up badly.

He complained about his mother again, but your old man had already said it, so that he would not be beaten. No, no, it's all messed up, how can any parent encourage their son to go to a brothel? Could it be that he really didn't open his mind before and didn't like women? There is nothing at all, he didn't meet the right eye in his memory, and he was a little disheartened and wanted to become a monk.
