Chapter 68: Bringing Back a Girl
The people in the house were overjoyed when they saw He Libo, and they were stunned when they saw the woman, He Libo entered the house and closed the door, and introduced everyone to him: "This is a new friend I have made, her name is Li Enxi." ”
Everyone looked at the woman, who was in her twenties, tall, with very white skin, a round face and delicate facial features, wearing a pink short jacket, a pink long Confucian skirt, and a silver-gray mink shawl. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Li Enxi gave everyone a smile, and showed two neat rows of little white teeth with a smile.
She looked around the room and seemed to be very fresh, but immediately put away her eyes and looked at He Libo, and everyone was a little surprised to see that He Libo suddenly brought back a woman. Lu Shenyan was the first to react and said, "Big man, is this a sister-in-law?" ”
When He Libo and Li Enxi heard this, they hurriedly waved their hands together, and said at the same time: No, no. But that being said, both of them had flushed faces. Wang Fang immediately saw that both of them had a good impression, but since He Libo hadn't mentioned it before, it was not good to ask too much for the time being.
Everyone smiled, and He Libo was also happy when he saw the moon next to the king, and he asked in turn, and introduced Li Enxi alone: "This is the daughter of the famous General Di Qing, and she is also the daughter-in-law of our brother." ”
Xiao Lu picked up the stubble quite quickly, although he knew that He Libo usually liked to say "we" when he spoke, but he grabbed the stubble and said: "Huo, I still don't admit that I said it." The crowd laughed again. Seeing that Li En was not in a hurry to refute, he was also very embarrassed, so he gently pushed the king's side and motioned for the two of them to sit down and talk.
Rouge Tiger saw that everyone was almost greeting, so he said to Lu Shenyan: "Why don't you go and get down to business and let the eldest brother and the son have a good conversation?!" ”
When Lu Shenyan heard this, he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes," got up and said goodbye to the king in a few days, and went to the Huaiyuan Post to find the shopkeeper.
Rouge Tiger said and said, "You guys talk first, I'll go and prepare a room." Walked to the door of the house and said, suddenly turned around to look at He Libo, looked at Miss Li, and then looked at He Libo, and when Yuexia saw that she was going out without hesitation, she asked, "Sister-in-law Lu, what are you doing?" ”
Rouge Tiger smiled and asked, "Two, do you think I should prepare one, or two?" ”
The two said in unison: "Two", and after speaking, they looked at each other again, and Miss Li Enxi immediately blushed. Seeing this, Wang said to Rouge Tiger, "Just prepare one." Immediately followed: "Brother He is naturally still in his own room. ”
Yuexia also said: "Let Miss Li be in my courtyard." Rouge Tiger went out with a smile.
He Libo was very moved when he saw that he was still kept next to the king in his room. Seeing that Lu Shenyan and his wife had gone out, just to vacate two empty seats, he invited Li Enxi to sit down, and the family arranged by Rouge Tiger came in and changed a pot of tea for them and brought them some fruit snacks.
A few people joked, and He Libo asked how to find the girl under the moon. Wang Bian recounted how he found the moon after separating from He Libo, and then asked, "Why did Brother He come back so quickly this time." ”
He Libo said: "I had already gone to Jizhou, and I happened to meet a fellow villager who came to the Song Dynasty to trade: Emperor Daozong of Liao, in the past four or five years of succession, he learned advice and spoke out, visited the way of governing the country, persuaded agriculture to rejuvenate education, and relieved disasters, and his political achievements were obvious; It's very different from the years when I first came out of my hometown. ”
"Then why don't you go back and have a look?"
He Libo took a sip of hot tea: "I was relieved to hear that man said that the family was fine, and there were other things on the way, and it was also those things that made a living when I went back, so it was better to wander outside again." ”
Wang Bi understood that some of the things He Libo said must be related to Li Enxi, and it was inconvenient to ask more. He Libo said, took off a package from his body, and handed it to the king as he spoke, saying, "These are for you." ”
The king opened it but there were some silver taels, and he knew that it was the gold and silver he gave when He Libo was leaving: "What is this doing, big brother?" Then he said, "Since it's a gift to the eldest brother." That's the big brother's. ”
He Libo waved his hand and said, "I'm still willing to follow my brother, and if I don't go back, I won't need this." ”
Yuexia and Li Enxi looked at the two of you, you push me to let you, Yuexia heard Wang Bian say that when He Libo was leaving, Wang Bian had sent gold and silver, so she was not surprised, she glanced at Li Enxi with her eyes.
If you are a child of an ordinary family, you should be surprised to see so much gold and silver. At least something will be revealed. However, Li Enxi did not react, Yuexia speculated, or the two really got along very closely, He Libo was not wary of Li Enxi. Li Enxi had known about these many things of gold and silver; Or Li Enxi's background is by no means an ordinary person or a small family.
Here are five hundred taels of silver and two ingots of gold, which is almost the income of an ordinary official for sixty or seventy years, not to mention that the official himself is a "civil servant", and his income is much higher than that of ordinary people.
Seeing her sitting there is also dignified and decent, always smiling, listening to the conversation between Wang and He Libo, occasionally smiling at the moon who is looking at her, blinking slightly to show friendliness. Under the moon analysis, this Li Enxi must not be the daughter of an ordinary family.
The two shirked for a long time, and He Libo said: "Isn't it my brother who wants me to accept the money and go back." ”
As soon as Wang Bi heard that he knew He Libo's temper, and then insisted on giving him a word, he would rather turn around and leave. So he looked at the silver two and said, "Okay, since the eldest brother has decided, I will collect it for the eldest brother first, and when the eldest brother gets married, I will even give the principal and interest as a congratulatory gift." ”
He Libo drank a few sips of hot tea, felt that his body seemed to be warm, and when he saw the king say this, he glared and asked, "What's the benefit." ”
The king knew that he did not understand, so he said, "I will keep these for you, and if there is any misappropriation, I will pay you interest and let you make money?" He Libo laughed: "There is such a good thing? ”
The king said, "Yes, it's useless to put the money in you, you let me here, I used your money and made money, so naturally I want to share your interest." You said no? ”
He Libo hahaha, laughed and said, "I'll hear how you are going to pay interest?" ”
Wang Bi frowned and thought about it, and said, "How about paying one tael of interest a year according to ten taels of silver?"
He Li's mouth grew wide and said: "Then if I put gold and silver with you for a year, you have to give me eighty taels?" ”
Wang Bi smiled and deliberately tested him, and said, "Then how much should you put in my place for five years?" ”
He Libo pouted: "Then won't I drop 400 taels in vain?" ”
Wang was just about to speak, but Li Enxi shook his head and said, "Isn't it four hundred and eighty-eight taels?" ”
Several people looked at her at the same time, and He Libo said, "Are you really confused or are you more greedy than me?" ”
Li Enxi lowered his head and smiled, Wang Bei thought to himself that this girl was really fast, and it was difficult to bring a calculator. He mentally calculated that it was about this number, so he smiled and said, "What Miss Li said is right, your base number is increasing every year." ”
He Libo slapped the table and laughed, and said while laughing: "This business has been done, and you will give me this interest when the time comes, anyway, the principal is yours, and I will be rich enough to do nothing." ”
He didn't laugh at the fact that he had snatched so many silver taels, but that the laughing king was interesting enough, and why did he have so many ghost ideas next to the king of laughter.
Wang raised the teacup: "It's decided, toast with tea instead of wine." Before he could move, He Libo took the lead in taking a big sip of hot tea, and then said, "This wine is really hot." ”
Both girls giggled. The king suddenly slapped the table: "Yes, there is a way." ”
He slapped the table like this, startling the rest of the people, and everyone looked at him with six eyes. Wang Fang looked confident, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, showing the unruliness of the heroic young man.
When He Libo looked at his expression, he knew that this son might be brewing something, so he naturally didn't ask much; I didn't speak for half a day in the second half of the month, and I kept secretly looking at the girl Li Enxi. I thought that it would be nice if I could see through people's hearts, but since I was crazy with Wang Bei, imitating other people's expressions and demeanors, I even vaguely felt something, for example, she saw that Li Enxi obviously liked Brother He. So I laughed secretly.
At this moment, only Li Enxi looked at Wang with an ignorant expression, He Libo changed the topic when he saw her like this, he put down the outside door and asked, "What did Lu Shenyan do?" ”
Wang saw He Libo and asked, "I arranged for Xiao Lu to do something, and the eldest brother came back just in time to have something to give a staff officer." After speaking, he glanced at Li Enxi, after all, he only knew that he was a friend of Big Brother He, and it was no problem to receive it from this point of view, but when it came to the secret investigation of even Kaifeng Mansion, he naturally didn't want outsiders to hear about it.
Yuexia stood up and said when she saw Wang Bian's expression: "Miss Li, I think that Sister-in-law Lu should have been arranged, why don't I take you to see the residence." ”
He Libo and Li Enxi said at the same time: "There is a girl under Lao Yue." After saying that, the two of them hurriedly avoided each other's gazes.
Under the moon, there was a lot of joy again, and he came over and took Li Enxi's arm and the two of them went out of the room.
Wang Bei lowered his head and smiled, and saw that He Libo was looking at the back of the two of them going out and said, so he called He Libo and said, "Hehe, I said big, have you seen enough." ”
This big guy is what Lu Shenyan called He Libo on weekdays, and he was learned by the king, He Libo smirked twice and said: "I said brother, you said that this woman is really amazing, no wonder you desperately went to find the girl under the moon some time ago." ”
Wang asked in a low voice, "Where did you pick up this Miss Li?" ”
He Libo laughed dryly and said, "This, let's go back, you first talk about your arrangement of Xiao Lu." ”
The king told him about the Du Mu, the Nine Dragons Cup and the Japanese slave envoys, and He Libo always listened carefully, nodding from time to time, um. After listening to it all, He Libo asked: "It's good to let Xiao Lu pretend to be the second child of the shop." But how will tomorrow lure the monk out of the room? ”
Wang stood up, and after sitting for a long time, he also wanted to move, he walked back and forth in the room, and said, "I am also thinking about this, I have to let the slave envoy be outside for a while, so as to give Xiao Lu more time." ”
