Chapter 108: The Former Wolf and the Tiger
Early the next morning, Yu Shaobai and Wu Zichu left the fasting house early, and showed the fake note of the edict to the janitor before letting them go. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After leaving the county school, the two went straight down the mountain to get a donkey cart and rushed to the county seat.
When they arrived in Lanxi County, they heard a piece of news.
"The Li family's family is haunted again, I heard that the eldest son Li Jingwei was scared to death."
"Something happened to Jing Ming's family?" Yu Shaobai heard the discussion of the people under the tree, listened to Li Jingwei as Li Jingming, and looked at Wu Zichu in surprise.
Wu Zichu shook his head and said, "Yes or no, then Li Jingwei is the eldest son of the Li family in Jinhua Mansion City, and his ancestral home is in Lanxi County." The Li family in Tushan Village is just a side branch of it, and if such a big thing happened to this family, Jing Ming and his father may have already rushed to the county seat. ā
As soon as he heard that it was not Li Jingming, Yu Shaobai breathed a sigh of relief, he wouldn't believe the haunted and scared people to death, I am afraid that there are some stories in it, but these are not things that he cares about.
In the courtyard of the Li family's mansion in the county seat, Li Geng, the head of the Li family, sat in front of the hall, his face was extremely haggard, thinking about it, middle-aged people lost their children, and white-haired people sent black-haired people.
There were ten middle-aged men wearing Xuan clothes sitting in the hall, among which Li Sangui was also impressively listed, sitting first on the right side. The ten of them were the speakers of the Li family's branch, and the eldest son of the family died, so they rushed to Lanxi County all night for such a big matter.
Li Geng waved his hand to let the subordinates retreat, and then said in a low voice: "I asked you to come over this time, for the sake of no demons." As he spoke, his face was full of sorrow, and his usual majestic posture was again.
"No demons?" Hearing this, although the people in the hall did not talk to each other, they were thinking in their hearts......
"Family master, you suddenly talked about no demons, isn't it related to Jing Wei's death?" Li Sangui asked.
Li Geng nodded slightly, glanced at the people in the hall, and finally stopped at Li Maocai of the Li family in Lijia Village, Lanxi: "Before the demon designed to frame Maocai's son, he wanted to give the old man a warning, but the old man ignored it at that time, but he didn't expect them to dare to kill my beloved son!" ā
Hearing this, everyone was shocked, they had already heard the head of the family mention the matter of the Demonless, and this group of crazy guys wanted to make the Li family attached to the Demonless and used by the Demonless. Naturally, they ignored it, and now that the demons had even killed the son of the head of the family, there was a feeling that everyone was in danger.
"The head of the family, let's report to the official, this demonless person is really rampant!"
"Reporter? Now that the government is incompetent, if they have the ability to exterminate the Wu Demon, they will not let it do whatever they want in Jinhua Mansion. ā
"I think it's okay to answer the heart of the demon and cling to it."
ā¦ā¦
Li Geng sat in front of the hall, saw that everyone had their own opinions, and said loudly: "Be quiet." This demonless guy is an extremely vicious guy who has always been the enemy of the imperial court. If the Li family is with him, he can only maintain stability for a while, and once the East Window incident happens, our Li family will be doomed. ā
"What does the head of the house mean?"
"The old man's meaning, first stabilize the no demons, they will give them money if they want money, you know this matter, no one can leak the news, if there are no demons to find the door, try to satisfy them, but we must not leave the evidence that our Li family funded the no demons, leaving a way back for themselves."
ā¦ā¦
In front of the gate of the Wu family, Yu Shaobai stood at the door, waved his hand and said, "Don't go in, just wait at the door." ā
"You're so afraid of what my dad is doing, he can't eat you." Wu Zichu said with a sigh.
"Aren't I afraid that Lingrou will be difficult to do in the middle?"
Just as the two were talking, the door opened, and a maid walked out and said to Wu Zichu: "Young master, this is the silver tael that Madame gave you." ā
Taking the sachet, Wu Shaobai waved her in to reply, and then the two left Sanhe Lane.
"Shaobai, you go around the city first, and meet in the spring in the evening."
"Are you going to Miss Yueru's house again?"
"I know and ask, I haven't seen Yueru for a long time, and I don't know if she thinks about her son."
Hearing this, Yu Shaobai really couldn't listen to it, and waved him to leave quickly. But he himself went to the market and stopped at the Deng family's steamed bun shop.
"Doctor Deng, long time no see!"
Deng Zhiwei, who was selling steamed buns, saw Yu Shaobai walking into the shed, stepped forward and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Yu Gongzi, come to eat a bun." ā
Yu Shaobai took the steamed buns, and when he saw Deng Rongniang who was busy in the kitchen, his face changed slightly: "Doctor Deng, I still have something to do, this is the money for the buns." He was really apprehensive about this girl who used a knife to scare people at every turn. Don't cut me with a knife just because I'm talking to her father.
"Yu Gongzi! Don't go~" Watching Yu Shaobai leave, Deng Zhiwei shook his head helplessly, and Rong Niang, who walked out of the kitchen, asked, "Why did that guy Yu Shaobai leave just after he came?" ā
"Seems like something urgent. I heard that the imperial court also gave him a place as a student and went to the county school to study. At a young age, he became a little minister, and his future is immeasurable. ā
Hearing this, Rong Niang looked thoughtful: "He is also studying in the county?" ā
ā¦ā¦
And Yu Shaobai, who had just left from the bun shop, met a familiar face. "Uncle~"
Hearing the call behind him, Yu Shaobai turned his head and saw that the person behind him was Chun'er, the personal maid beside the eldest sister, and said with a smile: "Miss Chun'er, you bought this for Baoyu?" He pointed to the candy man and rattle in Chun'er's hand.
"The young lady bought it for the little young master, and she is in the rouge shop opposite."
Yu Shaobai turned his head to look at the rouge shop on the side, now that he knew, he was naturally going to greet his younger brother, so he followed Chun'er into the rouge shop.
"Young lady, look who's coming."
Hearing Chun'er's voice, Yu Xiuniang turned her head and couldn't help laughing: "Qing'er, why are you here?" ā
Yu Shaobai arched his hand, but his eyes were on Zhao Qingxuan who was standing next to the eldest sister, why was she here, I knew that he would not come in.
"Isn't this Yu Gongzi? I heard that you entered the county to study, how do you have time to come to this county? Zhao Qingxuan said with a playful smile, in her opinion, the reason why Yu Shaobai came here from the county school must be because of the promise he made to her before.
"It's not because there are some important things that I asked my master for leave. Eldest sister, why didn't you see your brother-in-law with you? ā
Yu Xiuniang smiled: "Your brother-in-law still has to take care of the store business, how can I let him come out with me, isn't this Qingxuan accompanying the eldest sister?" It can also relieve boredom. ā??
"Sister-in-law, you see that since your third brother is here, let him stay in Zhou's house for a few more days, I was really rude to him before, and I haven't been able to apologize to him, this time I can't let him leave like this."
Hearing this, Yu Xiuniang was a little surprised, hasn't this Qingxuan always hated her third brother? Why did he suddenly change his character. She didn't think much about it, Qingxuan and her third brother were no longer incompatible, which was what she wanted to see, so she asked, "Qing'er, how many days off did you ask your master for?" ā
"There aren't many people in the county school now, and many of them are studying hard at home, so it doesn't hurt to stay in Zhou's house for a few days, and the master won't blame him." Yu Shaobai knew what Zhao Qingxuan meant to keep him, so he didn't refuse.
"Well, the first two times you came and went in a hurry. I, the eldest sister, couldn't keep you for a few more days, but let you use it in the Wu family, and this time the eldest sister made it back for you. Chun'er, bring those things with you, and let's go home. ā
Yu Shaobai followed the eldest sister out of the rouge shop, Yu Xiuniang and Zhao Qingxuan entered the carriage, Yu Shaobai naturally wanted to avoid suspicion, just sat next to the coachman, and the carriage rushed towards Zhou's house.
"Third brother, you have now become a little minister, if my mother knows, she will be very happy. Your brother-in-law is just a child at your age. ā
Hearing the eldest sister's praise, Yu Shaobai smiled and said, "The eldest sister praises me so much, I really can't afford it." Others rely on literary skills to get the quota of students, but the younger brother just helped solve two or three cases and played a little clever, which is not worth mentioning. ā
"You're a little self-aware. Can you compare to your cousin? Sister-in-law, what are you laughing at? As soon as Zhao Qingxuan finished laughing at Yu Shaobai, she saw the smile on Yu Xiuniang's face and couldn't help but wonder.
Yu Xiuniang hurriedly waved her hand: "I didn't laugh at anything." I just think that you and my third brother are really enemies in the previous life. ā
Forehead~
Yu Shaobai sighed when he heard this. Enemies in a past life? In his previous life, he had never met a girl as spicy as Zhao Qingxuan.
"Sister-in-law, I think so too. You say your third brother is so annoying? ā
This question made Yu Xiuniang speechless for a while. said in front of her that her brother was annoying, and this Qingxuan's temperament made the family spoiled. She could only smile and say: "My third brother is good-looking, it should be likable, Shaobai, it's better for my sister to let the matchmaker give you a blind date this time, you are not too young." ā
"Eldest sister, this is not necessary."
"Sister-in-law, you don't know yet, Yu Shaobai has taken a fancy to Wu Xiancheng's daughter, and the two of them are in agreement, but Wu Chun doesn't look down on him, do you say that he is angry?" Zhao Qingxuan seemed to sigh, but in fact, she fell into the ground.
When Yu Xiuniang heard this, she didn't see Zhao Qingxuan's fall, but said with some surprise: "No wonder you want to live in the Wu family, you have a crush on someone else's young lady." If Wu Xiancheng is against this family business, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to do. ā
Yu Shaobai heard everything you said to me inside, and he didn't say anything. Wu Chun doesn't look down on himself, and he can understand it. In ancient times, he paid attention to the right family, as long as Lingrou did not change his heart, he had the confidence to let Wu Chun recognize him as a son-in-law.
Soon the carriage stopped, Yu Shaobai jumped out of the car, and followed the eldest sister into the gate of Zhou's house.
"Baoyu has become more beautiful." Standing in the eldest sister's room, looking at Xiao Baoyu in the cradle, Yu Shaobai couldn't help but say. When Yu Xiuniang heard this, she didn't buy it: "What are you talking about, it seems that my son didn't look good before." ā
Yu Shaobai smiled awkwardly, he was telling the truth, he was indeed much better looking than the last time he saw him.
