Chapter 19 I can't afford to pay eighty taels of silver

At noon, Li You, who was frustrated in the workplace, returned to his residence unhappily, thinking to himself that every time he went to Sister Li Mei's house, he would have bad luck, which was really fateful.

When I entered the room, I saw my nephew Li Zheng waiting, with a bookcase at his feet and luggage packages beside him. The maidservant Xiaozhu came to her ear again and complained: "Master, your cheap grandson can't leave, you have to live for ten days and a half months, and the slave family can't drive him away." ”

Li Zheng stepped forward and defended: "Little uncle! After the county examination, the examination will be held, a total of five, and the next one will be a total of ten days. Uncle Zeng taught me to stay with you, take the exam with peace of mind, and save me the pain of traveling. This uncle Zeng naturally refers to Li You's father, and it is also appropriate to take care of each other with the same clan and clan.

"It's okay to stay, I'm close to the county here, so it's convenient to come and go." Li You agreed, but seeing Li Zheng's relaxed appearance, he couldn't help asking, "How are you learning?" Can you be sure? ”

Li Zheng didn't care and said: "Thanks to you, aren't we having someone above, the county test must be no problem." ”

Li You lowered his face and said: "I'll tell you one thing, now I said that I hated the big man, he already has a mustard in his heart, I'm afraid he doesn't have this affection." ”

Li was shocked as if he was struck by lightning, "How can this be good?" I have already boasted at home, if the county fails this time, how can I have the face to go back to see Jiangdong's father? ”

Seeing Li Zheng's dejected appearance, Li You cheered up and said: "I can smell that you have been smart since you were a child, and your husband often appreciates you when you are studying, so you can't be so inferior." To build up confidence, without human affection, rely on ability to test. ”

"I'm full of poetry and books, so I naturally have this ability, needless to say." Li Zheng tilted his head and squinted his eyes and said proudly: "Why don't you be angry, little uncle, and you have hated the county officials." I was the first in the exam, and I was afraid that the county official would not let it go. He said bitterly: "I knew that this was the case, why did I have to do it in the first place!" If you knew that there was a day, I wouldn't have come to find my uncle to get through the door before. This is good, but it is blocked. It's a pity that my Li family's road to fame was destroyed in the hands of my own people at the first level, it's a pity! ”

Li You glared at Li Zheng for a long time, waved weakly, and said, "Set the meal!" ”

After Xiaozhu came over to serve tea, he went to set the meal.

Li Zheng frowned again and said to Li You: "You are really blessed, you have such a beautiful little lady waiting at home." ”

Is it watery... Li You glanced at Xiaozhu, but he didn't feel anything every day. When I heard Li Zheng mention it today, I realized that Xiaozhu was no longer the yellow-skinned, thin-eyed, and godless appearance he had when he bought it.

Xu is this time Xiaozhu ate and slept well in his place, the work is much lighter than when he was at home before, and no one beats and scolds and disciplines, Li You treats her kindly, and the neighbors and family members are very fond of her, and she is very comfortable, and gradually she is delicate and moving, like a small flower and a bone.

It's only been a little over a month, and it's changed eighteen... If it was like this a month ago, let alone six taels, sixteen taels would be about the same.

"I heard that it only cost you six taels of silver?" Li Zheng said with envy: "There are so many convenient and beautiful things in the public gate. In the future, if I fail to pass the imperial examination, I will ask you for some errands. ”

Li You put on an elder frame and scolded: "You are young, and it is the time to study hard. When burying one's head in the scriptures and righteousness, and seeking progress, you can glorify your ancestors and your descendants. How can you be frivolous, pay attention to the outside world, face the big exam and still be uncertain, is it worthy of the trust of the whole clan? ”

"I would like to be taught by the old gentleman." Li Zheng pretended to walk a long way.

I don't know what Xiaozhu heard, he accidentally sprinkled a handful of salt in Li Zheng's bowl of rice, and Li Zheng, who ate it, grinned.

"It's not like words..."Li Yougang said three words, and the big eyes of Xiaozhu instantly appeared in red circles, and the tears that were about to fall down when he saw the size of Douban continued, continuing to maintain the glorious tradition of crying and blaming himself when the master was not satisfied.

"It's okay, it's okay." Li Zheng pleaded for Xiaozhu instead.

After eating, I suddenly saw Sister Li Mei's maidservant Yuexiang knocking on the door in a panic. Seeing Li You, he hurriedly said: "My girl Huan has been crazy these days, she keeps writing, Sister Mei really can't do anything, please ask Mr. Li to take a look." ”

Li You said indignantly: "If you are crazy, go to the doctor!" Or go to the monks and Taoists to do it! What do you want me to do? I don't owe you anything! If I am your house slave, I can't do it! ”

Three times and twice, when he goes there, he always encounters some unlucky things, can he not be angry. Especially when he lost the messenger this time, he was all angry with Sister Li Mei's family.

Yuexiang knelt on the ground and begged Li You bitterly.

It turned out that this Li Huan didn't eat or drink during this period, just waved his pen and coded words, and said that there were not 10,000 but 8,000. Although Sister Li Mei couldn't recognize a few words, she could vaguely see that the names of a few people seemed to be the story of Lin Daiyu told by Li You that day. It's just that Li Huan was mad by Li You's story, and the six gods have no owner in his heart, thinking that he must tie the bell to solve the bell, so let Yuexiang invite Li You.

However, it is good to say that Li You always refuses to go, and Yuexiang has no choice but to go back to restore his life.

Sister Li Mei saw that Li You didn't help, and in the afternoon, she really spent money to invite doctors, monks, and Taoist priests, and came around like a horselight, but no one solved the problem.

At dusk, Sister Li Mei took a sedan chair and came to Li You's residence in person.

After the government was dispersed, Li You met Sister Li Mei outside the gate of the residence, and said, "It's useless for you to come!" Go back early before it's still dawn! ”

Sister Li Mei sneered a few times and said, "The slave family didn't ask Mr. Li to do it, they came to ask for an account." ”

Li You was surprised: "Could it be that you are also crazy?" What do I owe? ”

Sister Li Mei spread out her palm with a straight face and stretched out her palm in front of Li You's eyes and said: "My family's Huan'er could have gotten eighty taels of silver when he came out of the pavilion, but if you messed up with it, sir, this silver will be gone." After that, you couldn't linger in my house, and now there are rumors in the city, and Li Huan was won by you that night, and no one is willing to pay eighty taels anymore. This loss should be on you, and the slave family came to ask for it. If you don't give it to the slave family, you will go to sue the official and ask the master of Qingtian to be the master. ”

Li Youqi's first Buddha was born and the second Buddha ascended to heaven, and even this depended on his head.

If you think about it, it's really up to him, who let him interrupt Li Huan's ceremony out of the pavilion and stay in her room all night without leaving, so I warn the officials who don't have the halo of the protagonist that the word "red face and trouble" must be kept in mind.

I can't afford to pay eighty taels of silver, I can't afford to pay it! Li You's eyebrows were about to flare up.

Suddenly, Sister Li Mei smiled, threw a flattering look and reached out to hug Li You's arm, and said delicately: "Oh, the slave family is wrong, you shouldn't make a joke about Mr., please beg Little Brother Li to spare the slave family, there is something wrong, go back and teach the little brother a lesson, the slave family has nothing to do." ”

This is a hint of nakedness, Sister Li Mei is really the essence of a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other.

"Don't pull and pull in broad daylight!" Li You shook his hand and said, "You go back first, and I'll be there later!" While scolding herself for not being able to withstand the temptation of beauty, it seems quite reasonable to think that if she really goes to sue, but the most important thing is that the county magistrate will not favor himself now... Let's go, and let's go again.
