The door closed softly, and the room fell silent again.

Li Xiaoyao sat at his desk and looked at himself in the mirror. After a careful scrutiny, Li Xiaoyao found that this scholar named Wencai was actually quite handsome, although it was a little worse than his previous self, and this scholar named Wencai did not seem to have a strange disease, his mouth was crooked, his eyes were slanted, the corners of his mouth were drooling, and most of them were mental illnesses such as stroke hemiplegia, as long as a few courses of acupuncture and moxibustion were almost good.

"Wencai, this name is so vulgar." Li Xiaoyao said very dissatisfied, as if he thought of the dog named Wangcai in Tang Bohu's autumn fragrance, and the boss in his heart was unwilling.

"There must be something strange about this bowl of medicine, if I hadn't taken it away from this scholar, this Wencai would have died a long time ago, it seems that things are not so simple, we must investigate." Li Xiaoyao said this, he already had an idea in his heart, among the people who came in just now, there was a young man named Xiaoliu, who was about the same age as himself, and at a glance he knew that he was a subordinate of Li Yuan's family, so it was better to start with him.

Li Xiaoyao had already made up his mind, and at this time the door was knocked a few times, Li Xiaoyao opened the door and looked, Li Yuanwai stood at the door with a smile, followed by the little six, with two bottles of wine in his hand and a food box, full of aroma.

"Son, the old man is happy today, and specially asked Xiaoliu to go to Wangyue Tower to get some delicacies, as well as precious supplements, I just hope you can get better soon." Li Yuanwai said as he walked into the room.

Li Xiaoyao stood there, staring at Xiao Liu, with a smile on his face, like a cheetah seeing an elk, and Xiao Liu, who looked directly at it, trembled a little.

Xiao Liu put the wine and food on the table, stood respectfully aside, Li Yuanwai picked up a glass of wine and said, "Wencai doesn't drink alcohol on weekdays, just eat vegetables." ”

After Li Yuanwai finished speaking, he raised his head and drained a glass of wine, and his mouth made a slurping sound, which looked very enjoyable.

"Good wine, I don't know how much wine my brother has tasted, but this wine is very special, sweet and refreshing, it's really good." Li Xiaoyao didn't know when he had already drained the glass of sake in front of him, and also commented on it.

Li Yuanwai was stunned for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it, just smiled happily.

"Dad, another drink." Li Xiaoyao picked up the wine bottle and filled it, and then had another drink with Li Yuanwai.

Li Yuanwai felt that his son's temperament had changed greatly since he woke up, and he was so able to drink it, and two bottles of Xinghuacun drank up one bottle after a while, and at this moment Li Yuanwai already felt that the whole person was dizzy.

"Son, Daddy is old now, and he can no longer shelter you from the wind and rain, and now I have two things to tell you." Li Yuanwai couldn't speak clearly, and his old face was full of red light, but he still staggered and said: "The first thing is that my father wants to send you to a private school to learn poetry and books with my husband, you have been sick for three years, and you have almost forgotten your homework, although you are very talented, but you still have to study hard, and then take the township exam in the autumn of the next year. The other thing is ......"

When Li Yuanwai said this, there was a look of pain on his face, which made Li Xiaoyao a little worried, I don't know if this father wants to say that he owes tens of millions of debts, and he wants his brother to pay it back, which is too terrible.

"The second thing is that our Li family used to be a rich family in this Liuzhuang, and they were one of the few rich and noble families in ten miles and eight villages, and there were countless people who came to the matchmaker, just like locusts in the sky, three years ago, my father and Liu Yuanwai agreed on family affairs, Liu Yuanwai is also a rich family, and it is the family of Liuzhuang, Liu Yuanwai is also the head of a village, and it is also a good family, he has a daughter, who looks as beautiful as a fairy, so he decided the words of the matchmaker of this parent, but ......"

Speaking of this, Foreign Minister Li Yuan sighed, drank a glass of wine, and then continued: "Who knows that the fate is ill-fated, my Li family is in the middle of the road, and business is becoming more and more difficult, and three years ago you had a strange disease, but a good person became stupid and stupid, so Liu Yuanwai gave birth to the idea of retiring from the marriage, no wonder, who would have thought that you would become like this." ”

Li Xiaoyao was relieved when he heard this, and thought that why was it a big deal, it turned out to be such a thing, beauty, my brother is tired of seeing it, and I really want it, ten or eight is not a problem, but that was before, just now this pig-like, I'm afraid it's not so simple.

Li Xiaoyao didn't take this matter to heart at all, from Li Yuanwai's mouth, Li Xiaoyao also knew some things, such as the Li family used to be a rich family, but now it is lonely, the so-called skinny camel is bigger than a horse, this Li family is richer than ordinary people, another thing makes Li Xiaoyao worried, he has not liked to study since he was a child, and now he is just a little more energetic, he has to go to a private school to learn what knowledge and culture, this is the most headache for Li Xiaoyao.

Li Yuanwai drank a little too much, and the whole person was already crawling on the table motionless, at this time Li Xiaoyao smiled mysteriously at Xiao Liu next to him, and then said, "Your name is Xiao Liu?" ”

"Yes, young master, the little one's full name is Zhao Xiaoliu." Zhao Xiaoliu was short and thin, there were not a few taels of meat on his face, and the whole person looked honest.

"Come and sit down, young master, I have something to ask you." Li Xiaoyao said with a grin.

"Young master, no, how can the small one sit." Zhao Xiaoliu took a step back in panic.

"Young Master Ben asked you to sit down, don't talk so much nonsense." Li Xiaoyao pretended to be angry.

Zhao Xiaoliu grinded and chirped or sat down, Li Xiaoyao poured a glass of wine for Zhao Xiaoliu to drink, at first Zhao Xiaoliu didn't dare to drink, but later under Li Xiaoyao's coercion and temptation, his face was already red and his ears were red, and his tongue was a little straight.

"How long have you been at the Li family?"

"Back to the young master, it's been five years, the little sixth son's family is poor, the old man is kind-hearted, let the little sixth son come here to be a housekeeper, at the beginning of the Li family's family was a lot, but now I am the only one left, and soon even the little six will leave." Zhao Xiaoliu drank some wine and talked more.

Li Xiaoyao nodded, so he asked again, "What year and month is this?" ”

If it were normal times, Xiao Liuzi would definitely think that the young master still had a problem with his brain, and he didn't even know what year and month it was, but now he was half drunk and half awake, and replied without thinking: "This is the eighth day of the third month of the twelfth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty. ”

"During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty?" Li Xiaoyao muttered in his heart, although he didn't learn much about cultural knowledge, he was also a college student who had crossed over in modern times (although he spent money to get in), so Li Xiaoyao knew a little about the history of the Ming Dynasty, Mingshenzong Wanli had reached the late Ming Dynasty, and there were three emperors after Mingshenzong, Mingguangzong, Mingxizong, and Mingsizong. Ming Sizong is Emperor Chongzhen, and he is the one who hanged himself on the coal mountain.

Li Xiaoyao actually doesn't care which emperor sits on the country, anyway, the emperor's position is out of reach of him, Li Xiaoyao is now thinking about being able to survive in this strange Ming Dynasty, and live as happy as a dog.

"How much do you know about the woman my father married?" Li Xiaoyao began to ask Zhao Xiaoliu tentatively.

"Is the young master asking Madame?" Zhao Xiaoliu glanced at Li Xiaoyao with worried eyes, and he didn't know what to say for a long time.

"You don't have to hide it from me, don't look at me as sick for three years, but nothing can escape the eyes of the young master, whether that woman is raising a man outside, to be honest."

"This ...... Mrs. since marrying into the Li family in the past three years, the villain has paid attention to observed, Mrs. is called Jin Ping'er, is the daughter of the Jin family in the neighboring village, although Jin Ping'er's family background is average, but it is a small force, and Jin Ping'er has a cousin who is a master in the county government, and usually comes to Jin Ping'er, and after Jin Ping'er married into the Li family three years ago, the Li family began to decline, and those subordinates were driven away by Mrs. Zhao Xiaoliu also seemed to be a little afraid of this Jin Ping'er, if he hadn't drunk some wine today and was bolder, he would never have dared to talk about Mrs. behind his back.

"I married into the Li family three years ago, and I also got a strange disease three years ago, how could it be so coincidental, what a Jin Ping'er, what kind of hatred does the Li family have with you, not only will you lose the Li family's money, but even the only seedling of the old Li family will not let go." Li Xiaoyao's eyes were ruthless for a while, this kind of woman should invade the pig cage and sink the river, see how I clean her up.
