Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Twist and Turn
Li You saw Liu Patrol and thought secretly, the Inspection Department is also in charge of public security, although this is not the jurisdiction of the Xishui Inspection Division, but what does Liu Patrol Inspector mean by applauding?
Although he thought a lot, he didn't dare to slack off in his actions, Li You hurriedly took a few steps forward and said, "I don't want to be lucky enough to meet Lord Liu today, it's always good." ”
Inspector Liu said with a smile: "My family and concubines came to offer incense and pray, I was impatient to wait in the hall, so I came out to walk around, but I didn't want to see the good skills of the virtuous nephew." ”
How did you become your nephew again... Li You said with a smile: "The monk was extremely rude, and the little official was extremely rude and uncivilized for a while, which made Lord Liu laugh." ”
Inspector Liu nodded and said, "Young people are brave and resolute, and it's not all bad. This official always thought that you were weak, but I didn't expect you to have a strong side, but it's not strange to think about your family background. ”
This Liu Inspector's words, from Miao Zai to this appreciation, Li You has always been unable to understand it, and he feels that it is even more detouring than Master Huang's words. Could it be that the Inspection Division is short of manpower, and Inspector Liu wants to pull him over as a martial arts thug?
At this time, several monks rushed out of the backyard with sticks in hand, and it was the monk who took the lead, and he was about to surround Li You when he saw him.
"Get out!" Liu Inspector shouted. In the past ten years, as a patrol inspector, he has been responsible for catching thieves, chasing escapes, and anti-smuggling in the western part of the county.
The monk who knew the guest did have a little eyesight because he received more guests, and he recognized it because of the military attache robe belt that Liu Inspector was wearing, and knew that this person was an official, so he didn't dare to come over again.
"Thank you for relieving the siege, the little official said goodbye and returned to the ya." Li You said goodbye.
Liu Patrol said: "There will be a period in the future." ”
Liu Inspector has words in every sentence, and he seems to appreciate him very much? But he didn't make it clear and understood, Li You really didn't bother to guess. Anyway, the master doesn't have much chance to deal with you, and you, a Jiupin military attache who is only responsible for anti-smuggling and stealing at the county border, can't control the county government.
After beating the monk Li You, he was not worried at all, he could see that the county lord was very orthodox, and he did not want to see the monks and Taoists who occupied the land but did not pay taxes, pay food, or serve at all. An ordinary monk beats and beats, and the county doesn't care, what can others do? The boss's opinion is his way, and there is nothing to be done if others have opinions. Instead of debating with a monk who is accustomed to verbal skills, it is really better to beat him directly to relieve his anger.
As for the matter of praying to God, Li You also had some new ideas. If there is no butcher, do you have to eat hairy pigs? There are too many kinds of immortals in the country, the categories are very complete, and the divine power resources are very rich.
When he returned to the county office, Li You ordered his two scribes to find a list of the county temples, and he had to think carefully about what to do. In this way, Li Dianshi hid in the public house for a day of relaxation.
In the blink of an eye, on the fourth day of the seventh month, in the afternoon, seeing that there was nothing to do around him, Li You pretended to take two sips of tea, ready to take a nap to spend the afternoon. Suddenly, a disciple came to report: "Someone claims to be a little servant in Mr.'s family, named Brother Yi'er, and wants to see Mr." ”
There must be something urgent at home, otherwise Brother Yi was not waiting at the residence, and he actually went to the county office to find someone, Li You thought.
Sure enough, Brother Yi entered the public house and shouted, "Little master! The lord calls you to go home quickly! ”
Li You got up and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Brother Yi replied: "I don't know the specifics of the little one, I just heard the master say that it was a big joy." ”
A big event... Li You guessed in his heart, my Li family now has children and grandchildren, healthy parents, and a permanent family, so I don't have to worry about food and clothing. What other happy event could there be besides my marriage?
Thinking of Li You, he couldn't help but speed up his pace, almost trotting, who can care more about his marriage than himself?
When he arrived at the door of Xishui Town, Li You stopped, calmed down and made an indifferent appearance, and walked steadily to the steps of the front hall. I glanced inside from outside the house, but my parents were there, but my father had a serious face, and my mother lowered her head to wipe her tears, which didn't look like a happy event.
Li You glared at Brother Yi fiercely and scolded: "You little thief! Where is the big event? ”
Brother Yi said aggrievedly: "It's really the old man who said it himself..."
"Xiao Er come in!" Father Li called.
Li You let go of his brother-in-law, went into the house to meet his parents, and asked, "What's going on at home?" ”
"About your family." Father Li sighed.
Hearing the word family affairs, Li's mother Zhu whimpered in a low voice again, and changed a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
Sure enough, I guessed it, but what kind of performance art expression is this parent?
Brother Li Zuo quietly appeared and explained: "As I said before, the Guan family in this town wants to propose marriage again, probably because you are getting better and better, and you want to continue the front." ”
Li You was overjoyed, Miss Guan is really a high-quality woman in all aspects, what more could she ask for if she had a wife like this! What else would not be.
"But my father still remembers the shame of being rejected the last time he talked about his relatives, and refuses to agree."
Yes? Li You was shocked, there was nothing to dissolve from this little resentment, the past was over, and his father was narrow-minded. Be kind, and you can't hold on to the past.
"How can the other party be very sincere, apologize again and again, and my mother really likes the little lady of the Guan family, so my father will no longer be a hindrance." Li Zuo continued.
Li You cheered for his father in his heart, this is right, and the husband should be like this! We can't be open-minded, we must look to the future.
"However, yesterday, the Guan family said again that they would not continue to talk, and the matter would be stopped."
……
Li You was stunned for a moment, and then he was stunned again, and scolded: "Bastard thing! Shame! Watching my family three times and twice is like a child's play, this revenge in this life is not avenged, and it is not a person! This revenge is not avenged, and it is not a person! ”
After scolding a few words, Li You held back his anger and comforted his parents: "Why is the big husband without a wife!" The son now has his own ability to find a better wife, and the father and mother don't have to care about the family. ”
Who wants to hear Li You's words, his mother Zhu's tears fell faster, and the handkerchief was changed.
Li You really doesn't understand, why is his mother crying? It's not so uncomfortable, it's a thing that hasn't been done yet, and if it doesn't work, what's worth crying?
Li Zuo appeared again and explained: "You don't have to look for it yourself, someone else has taken a fancy to you today, and I came to the house to propose marriage." ”
"And? Whose house is it? ”
Since entering the house, there have been too many changes in this turn, Li You's mood has fluctuated, high and low, and he is faintly dizzy at this time. I just don't think about anything, just wait for the result.
Father Li suddenly spoke, took over the conversation and said, "Today, Inspector Liu from the Inspection Department has come to propose marriage, for his own daughter." He added: "Actually, yesterday I didn't wonder that the Guan family." It seems that Inspector Liu made a force behind him, forcing the Guan family to retreat and cut off the matter of discussing marriage with my family, and then Inspector Liu came to propose marriage today. ”
