Chapter 10: Good Brothers

In the early morning of this day, Li Gongfu lay on the bed, kept half-asleep, kept turning his body over and over, and woke up Xu Jiaorong in his sleep several times. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info provoked Xu Jiaorong to be angry for a while, and pushed Li Gongfu directly from the bed to the bottom of the bed.

"Ouch! Was it an earthquake? Wife! Li Gongfu got up from the ground in horror and asked.

Xu Jiaorong scolded:

"Earthquake, you're big! You've been tossing and turning all night as well as an earthquake! Li Gongfu, if you are still thinking about the stolen treasury silver at home, you might as well sleep in the yamen and not come back! ā€

"Oops, wife! Where am I thinking about the treasury silver! Really! Li Gongfu patted his buttocks and lay back on the bed.

Xu Jiaorong turned her head and thought, no, it's not about the treasury silver, is she thinking about women? So he stretched his leg hard and kicked Li Gongfu under the bed again.

"Ouch! I'll go! What's the matter! Li Gongfu sat on the ground and asked angrily.

Xu Jiaorong scolded:

"Lack of heart! Tell me honestly, is there another woman out there? Okay, you Li Catcher! Didn't I Xu Jiaorong just give you a son and a half daughter, so you thought about taking a concubine to fill the house? On weekdays, I serve my parents-in-law and mother-in-law all my life, and I have no credit and hard work! Even if you want to take a concubine, you can always tell me first, and I won't refuse to agree, do you need to sneak around outside? ā€

Xu Jiaorong's chatter was endless, but Li Gongfu was annoyed to death. He knows very well that when a woman loses her temper, a man has to be soft, otherwise he will only lose both! So he waited unhurriedly and impatiently for her to finish, and then explained:

"Wife, I'm not thinking about Kuyin, I'm not thinking about other women, I'm just worried about our family Xu Xian!"

"Xu Xian? You fart! Xu Xian is such a big person, what is there to worry about. Yesterday, I heard Qi Jiagong say that Xu Xian took a boat to Qingbomen and went to a white girl's house, and I was too late to be happy! Our Chinese family has also reached the marriageable age, so it is time for him to have more contact with the girl's family and start a family as soon as possible. ā€

It turned out that the boatman on the West Lake was Li Gongfu's little Qi San's father. Yesterday, Li Gongfu met Qi's father-in-law on the street, and invited him to go home and sit for a while. Only then did I hear that the Xu Xian who was on his boat turned out to be Xu Jiaorong's younger brother. Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong learned from the mouth of the Qi family that Xu Xian had gone to the peach blossom luck and met a white girl. Li Gongfu thought badly, Bai Suzhen had already abducted Xu Xian home.

Originally, yesterday, Li Gongfu wanted to rush directly to Qingbomen Baifu and take Xu Xian home. But he felt an inexplicable fear in his heart, after all, he was facing a snake demon, and it was a white snake and a green snake! Think about it or forget it, it's better to wait for Xu Xian to come back a little later, and then put him under house arrest at home forever, it's the best policy!

At this time, Li Gongfu listened to Xu Jiaorong's words and suddenly felt uncomfortable, this imperial examination has not yet reached high school, what kind of marriage between men and women, you still have to start a career first and then start a family, otherwise because of the love of children and daughters, Xu Xian can only eat like himself and wait for death in the future, and talk about how to retire the golden soldiers to recover the old rivers and mountains!

Li Gongfu wanted to refute it, but when he turned his head and thought about it, there was no need to say this to a woman's family! So he went back to what was in front of him and said:

"I'm just worried, that white girl is not a good girl!"

"You haven't seen anyone before, why do you say that they are not good girls!" Xu Jiaorong asked rhetorically.

Li Gongfu was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold back for a while, and told Xu Jiaorong the fact that the white girl was a snake demon, and then he was afraid that there would be one more person to worry about, adding to his troubles! So he thought about it and said:

"Take a man home the first time you meet, have you ever seen such a good girl?"

"That's right, I'm a little worried when you say that. Father-in-law! Do you think that white girl is some kind of demon and monster! A few days ago, I always listened to you talking about what kind of demon and snake, and I have a shadow in my heart. "Xu Jiaorong may not be able to sleep at this time.

Xu Jiaorong frowned, and Li Gongfu became even more upset, so he simply got up and got dressed.

"Hey, why are you getting dressed?" Xu Jiaorong asked.

Li Gongfu exclaimed unhappily: "Where else can I go?" Of course, I'm going to find Xu Xian! ā€

As he spoke, he walked out of the house without looking back, and walked straight towards Qi San's house. After knocking a few times on the door of Qi San's house, I heard someone respond to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, it was Qi San's father, and he only heard him say:

"Yo, it's Gongfu Li! Come in and sit, come in and sit! I'll ask Qi San to pour you a cup of tea to drink. ā€

"Don't bother, I'm just here to see, have you gone to West Lake, I want you to send me to Qingbomen, I'll find Xu Hanwen!" Li Gongfu said as he entered the door.

"Qi San, pour a cup of tea and come out, your brother and father-in-law are here!" Qi San's father shouted anxiously, listened to Li Gongfu's words again, and asked:

"Your brother-in-law Xu Xian never returned to the house last night?"

"No! That's why I came here early in the morning, and I wanted to go to Qingbomen Baifu to have a look! Li Gongfu was so anxious that he didn't even have the heart to sit down and drink tea.

Qi San's father thought about it, suddenly laughed, and said, "Congratulations, congratulations!" Maybe you'll have a drink right away! I think Xu Xian is a talent, a talent, and the girl is also as beautiful as a fairy, she is simply a talented woman! And I heard them talking, the other party seems to be still a family, if the Chinese language is rich, then you have climbed into a good relative! ā€

When Li Gongfu heard Qi San and his father say this, he was even more upset, and when he wanted to refute, he saw Qi San come out.

"Yo, it's Li Zhutou! What is the wind that blows you? Qi San's words were weird, his father heard it, his face immediately sank, and he hurriedly gave Qi San a look.

It turned out that Li Gongfu had no time to play after becoming an official, and before he knew it, he was getting farther and farther away from Qi San. Qi San thought that Li Gongfu looked down on him, because he no longer gave Li Gongfu a good face.

Li Gongfu knew that Qi San had recently set up a stall on the street to do business, but it was not very ideal, so he wanted to help him, and suddenly thought that there was a catcher in the yamen who was ready to resign and quit, so it was better to let Qi San come to fill the gap, first, he had a reliable helper, and second, he could make up for the love between brothers, so he said:

"Qi San, come on, come on, I have something to tell you! I came to your house today, in addition to Xu Xian's matter, there is another thing I want to discuss with you! ā€

When Qi San heard this, he thought that he was now a dignified yamen chasing heads, and he could discuss something with himself, not just to ask for clues to the case, so he walked over unhurriedly and unhurriedly, and said:

"I don't know if Li Zhutou came to the cold house, what advice do you have!"

"I just want to ask, Brother Qi San is interested in the work in our yamen, there is a vacancy recently, if the elder brother does not dislike it, our brothers will continue to share blessings and difficulties in the future!"

As soon as Li Gongfu finished speaking, he saw Qi San stunned for a while, and then rushed towards Li Gongfu, hugged him tightly, and shouted: "Good brother, good brother!" ā€
