Chapter 169: Blame Me
The man standing at the mouth of the alley was about thirty years old, dressed in a muslin robe, with one hand behind his back, and the other hand shaking a folding fan.
Li Qingyou recognized this as the patriarch of the Li family, and also the Li Zheng of Li Jiazhuang, Li Yushu.
Over the years, Li Qingyou has met the patriarch twice, the first time was when Li Laohan recognized her as his daughter and took her back to the clan to go to the family tree, and the other time was when he went to Lijiazhuang to see the land a few days ago.
In fact, as a member of the Li family, every year during the Chinese New Year, I have to go to the clan to meet the patriarch and send some New Year's gifts, and those who have sons in the family will usually bring them.
But Li Qingyou is a girl after all, and she picked it up, so she didn't go there during the Chinese New Year.
"The patriarch is here." Li Qingyou hooked the corners of his mouth, not showing half surprise, as if it was normal to see the patriarch of the Li clan here.
And her indifferent expression also made Li Yushu raise his eyebrows.
"It's all here, why didn't you go to the house to sit?" Li Qingyou smiled, with a hint of joke in his words, "It shouldn't be that I can't find the door." ”
Li Yushu withdrew the hand behind his back, clenched it into a fist and coughed lightly twice, "I'm looking for you to discuss something today, let's find a quiet place to say a few words." ”
"That's nature." Li Qingyou nodded, turned around and explained to Zhao Xiaoshan, "You go back first, I will go back later." ”
Zhao Xiaoshan glanced at Li Yushu, as if he was a little uneasy, until Li Qingyou urged him to go back with his things.
"There's a teahouse at the intersection, so let's go there." Li Qingyou made a gesture of please, and the two went to the teahouse together.
The teahouse is still lively, and it is not deserted because of the festival, the shopkeeper stands behind the counter with one hand according to the account book, and the other hand is like an arrow on the abacus, and a few guys are shouting and shuttling between the guest officials to serve tea and water, and the excitement is extraordinary.
Li Qingyou directly asked for a private room, and asked the guy to serve a pot of Longjing and a few plates of melon seed snacks, the clear tea soup was accompanied by a curling aroma, and the room was full of tea fragrance.
In fact, Li Qingyou doesn't like tea too much, mainly because she doesn't like this taste, she always feels that the bitterness is too unpalatable, she prefers sweet, or sweet and sour.
Especially in this summer, I was sweating during the day, but I was a little tired when I got here, and I didn't want to drink it even more when I saw the steaming water.
It's just that this will be really thirsty, and I haven't drunk a few sips of water all day, and even at noon, I only nibbled a few mouthfuls of dry food to deal with the big bowl of tea in the roadside tea shed.
This will pour herself a cup of gurgling and drink, although the taste is not her taste, but it is still quite comfortable to drink.
After drinking three cups of tea in a row, I finally quenched my thirst, and my stomach gurgled again.
Originally, it was not good to drink tea on an empty stomach, but this would hook up the hunger, and it was finally comfortable to eat a few pieces of dim sum.
Li Qing let out a long breath, feeling a sense of satisfaction that he was full of wine and food.
These days she has been tossing enough, she can feel that she has lost several pounds, and the clothes that fit her before will be loose.
Li Yushu didn't say a word the whole time, just looked at Li Qingyou quietly, to be honest, he didn't have any impression of this daughter that Li Qiping picked up and recognized, and the time he went to the family tree was just thinking that the clan had no queen, and it was understandable to pick up an orphan girl and raise it by his side.
Later, he didn't inquire too much about the property left by Li Qiping, but there was only a few acres of thin fields in a courtyard, and if the orphan girl was cornered, he was too unkind.
Who would have thought that in just a few months, she appeared in front of her in a completely unexpected posture, and when he saw Li Qingyou at home, he thought that he was the son of a big family, or a descendant of a clan who said that this was Li Qiping's daughter, and only then did he know her identity.
Originally, he thought that Li Qingyou brought people to Lijiazhuang to see the land, which means that she still thinks about the friendship of the same clan, and thinks about pulling the people of the tribe by herself, and she is quite comforted, and she is also glad that she let her go at the beginning and did not kill them all.
It's just that after waiting for a few days, there was no movement at all, and Li Yushu was also anxious.
The piece of land they fancy is more than 100 acres, and the wasteland can be sold for nearly 400 taels of silver for three taels of silver, which is a huge amount of money.
In addition, he also heard that there is going to be a ranch there, and it will definitely take care of it after it is built, so that many strong men in the clan can have a job to do, and it is not just a matter of four hundred taels of silver.
It's a piece of fat.
And now it's not just a piece of fat that is related, if this piece of fat falls to the next family, he, the patriarch, will have no face to go now, and the entire Li family will be embarrassed.
It was because he was willing to condescend to his dignity and came to Li Qingyou in person.
It's just that from the beginning of entering the house, she even ate and drank, without the slightest woman's posture, as if she didn't see a big living person next to her, Li Yushu was very unhappy.
Don't say that she Li Qingyou is just a member of the Li family, don't say that he let her go at the beginning, with his fame, even if he sees the county master, he can not kneel, why is she a little orphan girl?
Li Yushu's eyes were faintly spewing fire, and he had a heart attack but was hindered by asking for others, so he had to endure it.
Here, Li Qingyou took in the changes in Li Yushu's expression, and still didn't say anything, if you want to take advantage of someone, you have to have the consciousness of asking for someone, and if you want to take advantage of it with a high profile, it won't work.
There was a commotion outside the door panel, and there was silence in the door panel, one breathing fire, the other leaning back in his chair with his legs stretched out and drowsy.
After a while, Li Yushu couldn't help it, the city gate would be closed later, and he was still in a hurry to go home to paste his autumn fat.
"Ahem." Li Yushu cleared his voice, and tapped his fingers on the table a few times, "Li Qingyou." ”
There was no movement.
"Li Qingyou?" Li Yushu frowned and raised his voice, and then saw Li Qingyou's body tilted to the side, almost not falling to the ground, and hurriedly grabbed the edge of the table to stabilize.
"Huh?" Li Qing woke up suddenly, his eyes were confused because he didn't wake up, and he turned his head to look at Li Yushu in a daze, and Li Yushu who looked straight at him was angry.
Is she really asleep?
"I'm sorry." Li Qingyou rubbed his eyes and sat up straight, took another sip of tea that was already cold, and then came to his senses, "I'm really tired these days, and I fell asleep unconsciously, what did you just say?" ”
Li Yushu's patience had reached the limit, his face was comparable to the bottom of a black pot, and he slapped the table heavily, "Li Qingyou, you don't have to deceive people too much." ”
Dare to belittle him so much, she is not qualified enough.
Li Qingyou sneered, "The patriarch is so arrogant, why am I deceiving people too much?" ”
After squinting for a while, Li Qingyou was completely energetic, "The patriarch came in person but passed through the door and did not enter, saying that he had something to say and kept silent, do you blame me for my feelings?" ”
