"I don't dare to do it again." Steward Cao immediately took over the conversation, and expressed his determination, "In the future, everything will be based on the girl." ”

Li Qingyou smiled, "Just work hard in the future." ”

Li Qingyou, who was in charge of Cao, did not swallow these silver tickets alone, and directly took out one hundred taels of silver tickets and gave them to Patriarch Li, "Everyone has helped me so much, and it is also a little bit of my heart to bother the patriarch to give the big guy a point." ”

Even if they use each other, they can't give no sweetness to others, and real money can move people's hearts more than what has not yet been realized.

Patriarch Li saw Yinzi's eyes full of smiles, even if he was the patriarch, he couldn't just ask the clansmen to do things with red lips and white teeth, he always had to take out some benefits, and he didn't fill in these days.

At the moment, Li Qingyou has given far more than he filled, and naturally his heart is also extremely ironing.

"They are all of the same clan and clan, and they should support each other, you are too outside." Patriarch Li was polite in his mouth, but he did not hesitate to carry the silver ticket in his arms.

Li Qingyou also smiled, "My brothers also have to settle accounts, all for their livelihood, so don't be polite to the patriarch." ”

Seeing that it was noon, Patriarch Li invited Li Qingyou to his house for dinner, called Steward Cao, and several people went to Patriarch Li's house together.

As the patriarch of the Li family, the Li patriarch has a reputation for showing talents, and their family is also considered to be a wealthy family in the Li family, so his family is naturally one of the best in the Li family.

The neat courtyard is set up, with five main rooms, three wing rooms in the east and west, and on both sides are vegetable gardens, pigsties, chicken coops, and livestock sheds.

In addition, three or four little radish heads ran out of it, holding Patriarch Li's leg and calling Dad, these are all his children, the eldest is seven or eight years old, and the younger one is still holding in his arms.

Coming out with the children was a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old woman, who should be the daughter-in-law of Patriarch Li.

"The officials are back, who are these?" Patriarch Li's daughter-in-law quickly glanced at everyone, her eyes stayed on Li Qingyou's face, to say that Li Qingyou was the most popular in Lijiazhuang during this time.

Every family, men, women and children don't know her, although I haven't seen me before, but this female baby who looks at this male costume also knows that it is her.

"This is Qingyou, I'm your aunt, I haven't seen you for several years, and I can't even recognize it." Patriarch Li's daughter-in-law warmly beckoned everyone in, "Come into the house, it's noon, it's sunburning, come into the house and drink some water." ”

Li Qingyou glanced at the other party, and the only impression she had of this aunt was the hurried glance when she was brought back to Lijiazhuang by Li Laohan a few years ago.

"I've seen my aunt." Li Qingyou took a step back slightly, and gave a manly salute.

Patriarch Li's daughter-in-law was stunned, then laughed again, and quickly retracted when she saw Patriarch Li look at her.

"You hurry up and prepare the banquet, let's go to the study to talk for a while, and then we can bring the wine and food directly to the study." Patriarch Li waved his hand and led a few people into the courtyard.

said that he was going to the study, but Li Qingyou was also a member of the Li family after all, and there were elders above the Li patriarch, so why did he have to meet and salute.

Patriarch Li took Li Qingyou to the east house of the main house, met with her parents and grandparents, and the two sides said a few more words before taking her out of the inside again and coming to the backyard.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the front yard, the backyard is much quieter, and the wall seems to separate the front and back yards into two worlds. The huge open space is not planted with vegetables like the front yard, but planted with some flowers and plants, and there are a few green bamboos in the corner to add a touch of elegance.

It was also until this meeting that Li Qingyou felt that Patriarch Li was a scholar, and he always felt that he had a mercenary spirit.

Li Qingyou noticed that there was an iron gate in the front and back yards, and it seemed that this was Patriarch Li's private place.

There are three main rooms in the backyard, the middle is the hall house, there are desks and a lot of books in the east room, it seems that it should be a study, and the west room is the living room, and the very simple furnishings are a little deserted, and it is estimated that the daughter-in-law and children of the Li patriarch do not sleep here.

Patriarch Li led the two to sit down in the hall, Li Qingyou didn't talk much, whether it was with Patriarch Li or with Cao, there was basically nothing to talk about except for official business.

Fortunately, Steward Cao is good at dancing with long sleeves and is very good at handling interpersonal relationships, as if he can talk about anything, and it's quite like that.

This will watch the two "talk very happily", Li Qingyou also thinks it is very interesting, but he is a little sleepy, he thinks about Cao Steward every day these days, and he doesn't sleep well at night.

Patriarch Li saw that Li Qingyou's face was tired, and asked her to go to Xili to take a nap, "I'll call you when the meal is ready." ”

Li Qingyou was not polite, and went to Xili to sleep until he was woken up to eat, and when he sat at the table, he found that in addition to her and Steward Cao, there was another young man.

The young man was about twenty years old, not very good-looking, but he was clean, and he had a bookish air on him.

"This is my nephew, Wu Gang." Patriarch Li introduced: "This is your young girl. ”

Li Qingyou knew that this was the nephew of Patriarch Li who had been admitted to Tongsheng, wanted to work in the ranch and wanted to replace Steward Cao before.

"Qingyou girl." Wu Gang owes himself.

Li Qingyou nodded at the other party, and did not call the other party brother according to Patriarch Li's wishes, but only called the other party Wu Gongzi.

Wu Gang glanced at Li Qingyou and didn't say anything, but when he called him again, he changed it to Miss Li.

The atmosphere on the table was a little delicate, Patriarch Li glanced at his nephew, then at Li Qingyou, and Steward Cao on the other side smiled indifferently.

After eating, the group returned to the pasture. The wood and stone have been delivered, and the craftsmen have already been found, and everyone is doing their job, Li Qingyou is not idle, he is busy supervising the work before and after, looking at this and that from time to time.

Holding the silver ticket in his hand, Li Qingyou felt much more at ease, and after removing the one hundred taels given to Patriarch Li, there were still two hundred and thirty taels of silver left.

First took out eighty taels of silver to redeem the deed and land deed, and then took seventy taels of silver and went to Qian's house.

"Third brother Qian, I bought this donkey, this is seventy taels of silver, you can order a little." Li Qingyou handed over the silver exchanged from the bank.

Qian Fugui was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Li Qingyou was still renting his donkey, looking at the white silver in front of him, Qian Fugui hesitated. Seventy taels of silver is not a decimal number, let alone put it in the homes of ordinary people, even his family is not something that can be taken casually.

"Why don't you take it first, and then give it when the money is ready, anyway, my family is not in a hurry." Qian Fugui's words happened to be heard by his mother who came out of the house, and she glanced at her son fiercely......
