Li Guo didn't understand the relative relationship between time and feelings, but he didn't need advanced knowledge to understand that happy times are always short-lived. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's like a dream, like a rush of flowers, like a meteor flashing in the sky, and the night is deep in a blink of an eye.

"Brother Li, it's time for us to go back."

How Li Guo wanted to tell her loudly: "Don't go back, come with me!" Let's go together, I'll take you to Jingshi, to Jiangnan, to see the outside world. ”

But he didn't dare, he was afraid.

He was afraid of etiquette, afraid that the villagers would poke him in the backbone, afraid that they would say that he did not abide by the etiquette law.

"This Xiao Li has passed, don't look at her age, her mind is bad, and she kidnapped someone else's girl!"

How afraid he is of this kind of evaluation, the old Li family has been a responsible person for generations, an honest person, and never dares to go beyond the rules by half a step, although this hard-won reputation is not worth a few dollars, but it has its meaning. It is precisely because of this reputation that people like Daddy Zhang, who regard money and food as their life, will also agree to marry his daughter to the destitute him.

Of course, the premise is that he can afford the five stones of grain.

Etiquette, etiquette, what are you, why can't you see or touch it, but you have such a powerful power? With my strength, why don't I dare to fight you?

"Okay, I'll take you home." Li Guo sighed, in the face of powerful etiquette, he couldn't resist at all, so he could only accept it obediently.

Daddy Zhang's family is a wealthy family in the village, and his house is a large tiled house, with five bright tiled houses and clay-fired bricks, densely spread on the roof, showing the wealth and pride of the owner's family.

Every time he walked in front of the tiled house of Daddy Zhang's house, Li Guo felt a little involuntarily afraid and inferior, this fear and inferiority did not come from strength, but from something he couldn't figure out.

For the first time in his life, the young man understood that there was something in this world that was more powerful than power, but that it was not controlled by him, and that on the contrary, he had to curry favor with it in order to gain some kind of welfare.

Daddy Zhang sat in front of the gate, although the temperature at night was already very low, but he still sat in front of the gate waiting for his daughter, his property, like a faithful old dog, did not let a step, did not retreat.

This old man who regarded money as his life was steadfast in protecting his possessions, and would not allow any outsider to take his possessions until he paid a price that would satisfy him.

Li Guo and Nian'er walked in front of Daddy Zhang, Daddy didn't speak, he stared at the two big eyes, panting calmly. He didn't make any moves that would increase psychological pressure on Li Guo, but it was this gesture without any intention that made Li Guo infinitely guess and doubt in his heart, and it was easier for Daddy Zhang to take a psychological advantage.

Father Zhang is a carpenter, he goes to the fields to farm on weekdays, and when he has something to do, he takes a few apprentices to work, and he knows how to deal with such a young boy with much more experience than Li.

The moonlight shone obliquely from behind Daddy Zhang, which made Daddy Zhang's face hidden in a cloud of darkness, so that Li Guo had no way to judge Daddy Zhang's expression.

This made him feel uneasy than Daddy Zhang's loud scolding and scolding.

Nian'er knew her father's tricks, in fact, they only worked for the first contact, she had lived with her father for eighteen years, and she knew all the tricks of this old man.

"Dad, I'm back, Brother Li sent me back." She ran to her father's side and massaged Daddy Zhang's arms with gentle force, which were not as powerful as the blacksmith's, but they were able to make dexterous movements and create many beautiful objects, which were the source of the family's wealth.

"Hmph, you still have my father in your eyes?" Father Zhang scolded his daughter loudly: "It's rude, I followed the man to come back so late before I went out, why did I give birth to such a daughter as you!" ”

"Daddy! Sooner or later, I will be Brother Li's person, a little earlier, a little later, what's the difference! Nian'er said very bluntly that she would never accept the combination with other people, and would always be with Li Guo, this kind of clear support made Li Guo very grateful and happy.

"Uncle, don't worry, although this year's New Year is not good, but I must gather the food, although my family is poor, but I must be good to Nian'er, she eats dry, I eat thin, she wears cotton, I wear worn, as long as there is a mouthful of food at home, I can't starve her!" Li Guo's voice was not good, and even a little hoarse, but it was this sound that made Nian'er sound more graceful than the birdsong in spring.

Nian'er trembled when he heard this, and added three points of strength to his hand, and the sudden increase in strength made Father Zhang feel a little painful, he glanced at his daughter dissatisfied, and slowly spoke: "Hmph, do you want to marry my daughter?" You settle the matter of your old Li family first before you speak! ”

"Daddy, what do you mean?" Li Guo was a little confused about his path, and he said cautiously: "My old Li family has been honest people for generations, my grandfather, my grandmother, and my mother died early, and my father, my uncle, and myself are left, what can happen!" ”

"It's your uncle, he's made a mistake!" Father Zhang snorted coldly and said out loud a piece of news that shocked Li Guo: "Li Zicheng, this kid, rode the horse of the post station to death, not one, not two, a total of three horses!" The official of the post station has already locked him up, saying that he will kill him if he can't afford to lose money! ”

"What!" Li Guo exclaimed: "My uncle has been riding horses since he was a child, and he is even better at taking care of horses, otherwise the official master of the post station will not let him manage the post horses, how can he ride a dead horse, let alone three horses when he dies!" ”

"Hehe, how do I know what's going on, if I do, wouldn't I be an official?" Daddy Zhang's emotionless voice sounded to Li Guo tantamount to a demonic voice from hell, and he said coldly: "I see that your old Li family is having a hard time getting through this hurdle this time, and Nian'er and you don't have to deal with each other, our old Zhang family can't afford to have a family like yours." After thinking about it, he seemed to think that saying this was a bit against the rules of neighborhood, he softened his voice a little, and said in a tone with a little compassion: "If your family wants to borrow silver, it is not impossible to do it for three or five taels, but we have to do it according to the rules of nine in and thirteen out, I think you are a good hand at doing crop work, and you should be able to pay it back." ”

"Oh, okay, okay." Li Guo replied casually in despair, and slowly turned to leave, Daddy Zhang's words completely shattered the young man's rose-colored dream, he seemed to see Nian'er in a red wedding dress slowly leaving him, and saw a couple of newlyweds sitting in the cave room with red wedding words and red candles, but the jubilant groom official was not himself.

"Brother Li! Brother Li! Nian'er watched Li Guo walk away slowly, did not respond to his call, paused, gritted his teeth, and strode to follow. Daddy Zhang wanted to get up to stop him, but then he thought about it, went back and smiled contemptuously: "Hmph, what can they do?" What do you dare to do? ”

"Brother Li, Brother Li, wait for me!" Nian'er's anxious voice came from behind Li Guo, which made Li Guo surprised: "Nian'er, why did you come with you?" ”

"I don't want to be separated from you!" Nian'er's voice was extremely firm, with a hint of unequivocal determination, which should not normally be seen in a girl of this age.

"But, I really can't afford to marry you." Li Guo lowered his head sadly, he was unwilling to admit this heartbreaking fact in front of his beloved woman, but he had to admit that after experiencing the two blows of frost and uncle, the family's already poor economy would never allow him to think about anything wrong.

Although Shaanxi can also raise horses, and the Mongolians can exchange horses for some horses, but the price of horses is still not low, even if you don't pay the full amount, three stagecoaches have to pay at least ten taels of silver, which is tantamount to an astronomical amount for this family.

Oh my God, Li Guo had never seen a piece of silver, and the largest piece of silver he had ever touched since he was a child was only six coins, let alone ten taels of silver?

The six-dollar silver was the money that a few households in the village had pooled together to pay rent, and he just put the silver in his hand and took it, and he felt as if it was as heavy as a mountain, and after taking it for a while, he felt that his arms were sore, and the arms that could pick up a hundred pounds of heavy burdens in the past could not be lifted again, let alone ten taels?

Ten taels of silver, what a heavy weight!

"Nian'er, I'm sorry, my uncle is in trouble, I have to save him, I can't let him go." Li Guo didn't dare to look at Nian'er, he just lowered his head, this was because he felt ashamed of the beautiful woman in front of him, and secondly, because he was afraid that another look would shake his will, and the uncle was his blood relative, how could he see the uncle lose his life?

Uncle Li Zicheng, who is the same age as him, grew up at the same time as he was a child, although the two are uncles and nephews in terms of generation, but there is almost no difference between them and brothers in love, and they are exactly the same person. Li Guo has admired Li Zicheng since he was a child, and he believes that this uncle will lead him to make a great career, how can he abandon him?

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Nian'er, I'm not human, I'm sorry for you!" This Shaanxi man, who is nearly six feet long (Jiajing tooth ruler is taken here, the ruler is 32 centimeters long), squatted on the ground sadly, covered his face with his hands, and cried like a child. He cried so sadly, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances, all the uneasiness, all the dissatisfaction in his heart, because at first his voice was dull, intermittent, intermittent, and then there was a burst of howling and crying, which was like a muffled thunder when it rained in spring, huge, shocking and painful, and anyone who heard this cry could experience the infinite sadness and depression of the owner of the voice.

He cried like a lone wolf at the end of his rope, and like a wounded wild goose.
