Chapter 208: Origin

Li Qingyou was really happy, not because she found out that Adi was literate, but because of a message she heard during the day.

Zhang Sipao and Xiashan Tiger pinched up.

This is what Li Qingyou heard from the person at the table next to him when he was talking in the teahouse during the day.

It is said that both sides suffered heavy losses, and Zhang Sipao was even more wounded, and I heard that he was arrested by the yamen.

Although he hasn't been sentenced yet, at least he won't come to trouble Li Qingyou in the short term, which is a good thing to congratulate.

“…… Do you think this counts as a soldier who surrenders without a fight? Li Qingyou was so happy that she was fluttering when she walked.

Ah Di nodded, it should be counted.

"No, this should be called infighting, let's borrow light." The more Li Qingyou said, the happier he became, these days are today's joy.

It's not too late, the meat seller is still there, Li Qingyou bought two catties of pork belly and two catties of pork ribs, and asked Brother what else he wanted to eat.

"Enough to eat." Ah Di shook his head.

"Don't you like walnut crisp?" Li Qingyou held his chin in his hand, looked around, and then looked at the sky, "It's definitely too late to go to Xu Ji, but this is also for sale." ”

Although it doesn't taste as good as Xu Ji, it is also a walnut cake.

Li Qingyou pulled Ah Di and was about to buy it, but Ah Di's body fell back hard, "I really don't need to, I don't like to eat much anyway." ”

In the past, when he was in the palace, he really didn't like to eat much, and there were all kinds of exquisite snacks in the palace, even if his father didn't want to see him, he never treated him badly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

But after all, it was before, some people eat but don't want to eat and don't have to eat are two different things, since Sister Qingyou bought walnut crisp a few days ago, Brother felt that he was too wasteful in the palace before, and he didn't like such a delicious thing.

Only now they have to live on food and clothing, so ...... I still don't eat it, it's not much delicious anyway.

Li Qingyou glanced at his brother, and felt that he had been a little strange in the past two days, and she couldn't tell what was to blame, it was just a feeling.

"Brother, are you hiding something from me?" Li Qingyou hugged his shoulders and said.

Ah Di's heart tightened, and he lowered his fluttering eyes, and he couldn't tell what his sister Qingyou was referring to, so he could only deny it.

Pretending to be puzzled, "What's the matter?" I didn't. ”

Li Qingyou looked at him, but he didn't see a reason, thinking that it was probably because he was going to school, after all, he was a girl, and he was probably too excited to go to school like a bunch of boys?

It's possible, Li Qingyou didn't think much about it.

"If you don't go, you won't go." Li Qingyou grabbed a handful of copper coins from his purse and stuffed them into Ah Di's hand, "Tomorrow, you and Erxi will go to Xu Ji to buy it." ”

"Oh." Ah Di stuffed the copper coins into his purse, roughly counted about a dozen, and sighed silently in his heart, in extraordinary times, it is better to save it.

Not much, though.

The sisters and brothers bought their things and walked back, and as soon as they got home, they saw the person sitting in the hall, who was Patriarch Li.

Patriarch Li came alone, and the little mountain lady made him tea, and he was waiting while drinking, when he saw Li Qingyou and the two coming back, the two sides saluted.

"You go back to the house first." Li Qingyou patted Brother on the shoulder, turned around and sat down in front of another chair, and asked Patriarch Li what was the matter, "But there is news about the matter entrusted to you last time?" ”

Patriarch Li nodded, and took out something similar to an account book from his arms, "This is what I asked people to copy, I copied it again, and I couldn't take it out originally." ”

Li Qingyou took it and flicked it with his fingertips, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and with this, his chances of winning increased.

Patriarch Li looked at Li Qingyou seriously, and unexpectedly saw that she was staring at the account book seriously, and she seemed to understand what this meant?

What was Li Qingyou like in the past, Patriarch Li didn't know, but after coming to the Li family, Li Qingyou ...... Well, it's not clear to him either.

But one thing he knew was that Li Qiping did not invite her husband to teach her homework.

Although it is said that in this era, women are not talented and virtuous, but women from large families still have to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they also have to study, although the content is different, but at least they are literate.

But women should not show their heads, so they usually invite their husbands to their homes to teach.

Li Qiping didn't have the financial resources, and he himself was illiterate, so Patriarch Li naturally thought that Li Qingyou was illiterate.

So it was a surprise that she seemed to be able to see it.

As for why he wanted to copy a copy again, it was because he didn't look down on the ones he had copied before, and he also intended to show off in front of Li Qingyou, after all, he was the only person in the entire Li family who was knowledgeable.

A learned person has a transcendent status, so Li Qingyou will not dare to look down on him, and he will inevitably rely on him in the future.

But this will make him a little cat not Li Qingyou is really literate or pretending to be literate, it seems to be true, maybe she has studied before?

Only this one explains.

Li Qingyou stared at the copy of the account book in her hand very "seriously", and glanced at Patriarch Li, in fact, she was not too able to understand, at most she could see five or six percent in combination with the context, which was mainly pretending to show the other party.

Silently sighed in her heart, unexpectedly, unexpectedly, she was an elite person who had received twenty years of education, but once she crossed over, she became semi-literate.

It's sad.

But this Li patriarch is also annoying enough, just write well, this ghost draws the same words and even a pen, pretending to be knowledgeable.

How good it is to write stroke by stroke like Ah Di, as soon as she thinks of Ah Di, Li Qingyou's uneasy heart is put down again, she looks at the words on it, Ah Di should be able to.

Later, after Patriarch Li leaves, let Ah Di explain it to her again.

Li Qingyou looked at it fakely, closed the account book and put it aside, and said a few polite words to Patriarch Li.

In fact, there is nothing to say, two people who are basically complete strangers, but it is quite awkward to pretend to be clansmen who love each other, but they have to continue to pretend.

After talking for a while, Patriarch Li didn't seem to have anything to say, he had already accepted Li Qingyou's "kind invitation" and promised to stay for dinner. But now the food is not good, and it is not a matter to sit like this, so I can only talk about it.

"By the way, I heard that Zhang Sipao and Xiashan Tiger have faced each other in the past few days, and the two sides are fighting quite fiercely." Patriarch Li said suddenly.

Li Qingyou glanced at him in surprise, but it was just two groups of gangsters in the county fighting for territory, and they had even heard of it outside the city?

The news can get along fast enough.

"Seems to be such a thing." Li Qingyou took a sip of tea, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.

Although she had known it for a long time, and the excitement had passed, she was still quite happy, but then Patriarch Li's words surprised her.

"Speaking of which, this four guns have a bit of a relationship with you." Patriarch Li said, "Do you know who his brother is?" ”
