Chapter 080: Villain
Lin Jiafu, who woke up, personally told that he seemed to have come to the ghost gate in a trance, and then somehow woke up when he saw a white light. He inadvertently recounted his experience and experience of immortality in this catastrophe, so that the first reaction of the audience who knew and interested was to think of Li Wenxuan's words "I want to have a good talk with the local city god". So the word was spread among the people.
After two days, Lin Zhengbei, who was true to his word, didn't want to go to the Li family again, so he sent the housekeeper Wang Dake to bring the title deed of 300 acres of land and the voucher of the transfer of ownership, as well as 5,000 taels of silver tickets to go on his behalf. Li Wenxuan, who saw Wang Dake in his own hall, sat motionless on the circle chair, and none of them looked at the number one dog leg of the Lin family.
Wang Dake, who has long lost the arrogance of the dog's power, put all the things he brought on the table in an orderly manner, and said with a flattering smile: "Daochang Li, this is a thank you gift brought by my lord to the villain, please take a look." ”
Li Wenxuan, who still didn't move his buttocks, just looked at Su Meiniang, who was sitting on the side, and said calmly: "Meiniang, you click." If the number is right, then the matter is settled. ”
Su Meiniang, who got up, walked straight to the table, picked up the extremely valuable paper on the table and checked it three times. Finding that there was nothing wrong, she nodded slightly towards Li Wenxuan.
Wang Dake, who was standing, saw that the matter had been done, so he did not say goodbye and leave, but continued to show a very flattering smile in his expression and said: "The villain is here in advance, congratulations to Daochang Li." ”
Li Wenxuan, who took a sip of tea, completely regarded his words as a fart, and said lightly: "What happy event can I have?" ”
Wang Dake, who took a step forward, wanted to repair what he had committed, and said with a smile on his face: "You and our young lady have re-signed a marriage contract, presumably in a few days, you will come to the door to propose marriage and marry Miss Ruoxi." At that time, the Lin family and the Li family will become a family. The foolish things that the little one did at that time were also a last resort, so I hope that Li Daochang will not remember the villain. After saying that, he pretended to raise his hand and slap himself in the face with a bow from side to side.
Seeing that his attitude changed so quickly, Li Wenxuan concluded that he was an out-and-out snob. He knew very well that the other party was making a show for himself, which was to show a clear signal that he wanted to ask for forgiveness. If he was still Li Wenxuan in the past, presumably Wang Dake would not be so low-browed.
Li Wenxuan, who wanted to call Zhu Biao in and slap him hard, understood that this dog beating also had to depend on the owner. He just fell into Lin Zhengbei's face and scraped his money, if he was blindly aggressive and didn't leave room for the other party at all, I was afraid that his dog would jump off the wall in a hurry. Moreover, Lin Ruoxi is nominally a woman who has not passed through the door. More or less, I have to save some face for her, after all, she is not at fault at all in the whole thing.
Li Wenxuan, who didn't want to see Wang Dake dangling in front of his eyes like a clown jumping off the beam, not only was his tone very cold, but he also bluntly ordered the eviction: "Okay, you can go back." Wang Dake, who bowed his waist and slowly retreated, did not forget to separate Li Wenxuan, Zhao Tian'er, and Su Meiniang before leaving, and made a gesture in a proper manner, and even politely bowed his hand to Peony who was standing in the room.
Zhao Tian'er, who saw Wang Dake leaving, was quite disdainful of what he had just done and said: "He is an out-and-out villain." Typical inflammatory, despicable, shameless, scoundrel and lewd villain. ”
Li Wenxuan, who looked at her with two eyes, smiled and said, "Since you know the Tao, then don't have anything to do with him." Although Wang Da did what he was told, I could see his despicable behavior that day very clearly. ”
Su Meiniang, who had an incomparably bright smile, repeatedly counted the silver tickets in her hand and interjected: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about such unhappy things today." I can talk about how to spend money. That's five thousand taels of silver! ”
"As long as you don't spend all the five thousand taels of silver, you can give me the rest of the scattered silver taels to buy medicinal herbs." Li Wenxuan, who was quite aware that all kinds of medicinal materials in his Nadan pharmacy needed a big replenishment, said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Su Meiniang, who stood up again, walked to Zhao Tian'er's side, first handed over the three thousand taels of silver tickets, the land deed of three hundred acres of land and the transfer certificate to her, and said with a sweet smile: "This time, let me be the master of Tian'er." Since this is a happy child, then everyone in the Li family should have a share. ”
Li Wenxuan and Zhao Tianer did not object to her proposal, after all, all the small things in the backyard were taken care of and managed by her. The reason why she had this idea was not because of a whim, but because she heard Wang Dake say that she wanted Li Wenxuan to marry Lin Ruoxi.
Su Meiniang, who took out a part of the silver from this to reward everyone, was to establish herself and Zhao Tianer's unshakable status in the Li family. Even if Lin Ruoxi gets married, she has to let her subordinates know clearly who is the one who counts in this family.
"Cuckoo and Pink, then each of them will make two new clothes of muslin." Su Meiniang spoke: "As for the peony, you are Tian'er's personal maid, often in and out of the ground to serve tea and water, and you have to dress decently, then make two new clothes of silk." And Zhu Biao rewarded him with thirty taels of silver and let him arrange it himself. The slave family and Tian'er, first of all, have to buy a batch of gold and silver jewelry, and secondly, they have to use good Su embroidery, or Hangzhou embroidery, to make a few clothes, and after the most, they have to buy some high-quality rouge gouache back. ”
Peony was overjoyed to hear this, and never dreamed that she would be able to live such a good life. Since she was sold into the Li family, not only has she had enough rice, but she also has meat to eat every day, and she has also put on new clothes made of silk. If in the past, even in his own poor family, it was rare to have a new coarse cloth to wear during the New Year.
Speaking of meat, from beginning to end in a year, the number of times Xiangxiang's mouth is satisfied, and the five fingers of one hand can be counted. In the past, whenever there was an opportunity to eat meat, peony was specially selected for fatty meat to eat. If it's not fat, she doesn't like to eat it, after all, there is not much oil and water, and it is not enough to satisfy her cravings. Now, when she sees some pork that is too fatty, she has become unliable.
Peony, who gradually loves ** meat, feels that she has lived this life, and she is really too good to say. Even if the Li family wants to drive herself away, she won't leave. As for sneaking away and the like, that's not going to happen. In addition to her thoughts, Cuckoo and Pink also had the same thoughts.
Li Wenxuan, who pretended to be redundant and forgotten, sighed and said: "Everyone of you has a share, but I am the only one who has no share." You all want to wear new clothes, dress up beautifully, and show off your flowers, but you don't have me. I'm also the hero who earned the money back, and I was forgotten by you like this? When I think of this, I feel pitiful! I'm really pitiful! Tears are suffocating. ”
"You are the head of the family, how can you forget you? Even if I could forget myself, I wouldn't forget you. Su Meiniang smiled and said: "We are dressed up beautifully, and we are not for you to show alone, after all, women are the ones who please themselves." Even if we go out when we are young, we will give you a long face, so that outsiders dare not underestimate our Li family. Similarly, let outsiders know how happy it is for you Li Wenxuan to be accompanied by a beautiful woman like the slave family and Tian'er. ”
Li Wenxuan, who had supplemented the poverty of men as pleasing to himself, did not refute her words, after all, as a man, he knew very well that he was working hard to earn back the silver, and then they worked hard to spend the silver again. In this way, one front and one out, the economy can be put running. Therefore, throughout the ages, merchants have really made the best money to earn women.
Speaking of which, Li Wenxuan, who did not positively indicate what he wanted to buy for himself, still believed that Su Meiniang and Zhao Tianer would not forget him just for themselves. As for what they want to buy back for themselves, he is in the attitude of letting them go, after all, this silver can be regarded as the Lin family's filial piety.
Thinking of Li Wenxuan, who had new clothes, he thought that they were also pitiful, so he put the icing on the cake on the cake to the three of them and said: "Since today is a good day, then we have to eat and drink well tonight." Everyone in the family has a share. There is food, drink, and new clothes, so I will reward each of you three slaves and maids with a tael of silver, which is complete. ”
The happy peony couldn't help jumping up at first, and then thanked his three masters one after another: "Thank you, master, thank you for the reward of the two ladies." ”
Everyone was so happy that Zhao Tian'er couldn't hold back, and said in an urging tone: "Now, let's go out and buy the things we need and come back!" If you go out a little later, you won't be able to buy it. ”
Su Meiniang, who responded with the word "good", signaled that she should go back to the room to put away the things in her hand, and then go out together. Zhao Tianer, who understood it, left the hall happily. Seeing Li Wenxuan, who was not yet mature, she remembered for a moment that she should supervise her to study, after all, the little girl didn't recognize many words.
When Peony saw her master leaving, she was going to follow her like her shadow, but she was stopped by Li Wenxuan and said, "I know that you have read books and can read." So, on weekdays, you have to urge Tian'er to read and write. If she grows, then I'm going to reward you heavily. ”
