"Is that true?" Zhang Yuan's hand holding the pig's ears suddenly paused, and his smile suddenly became a little reluctant.

"Naturally, take it seriously." Li Si said with a serious face.

At this time, he must have said that he didn't have the strength to subdue demons and eliminate demons, although this might offend Zhang Yuan, but it was better than being left here by Zhang Yuan.

After all, no matter how arrogant this outsider is, he doesn't dare to kill himself. At most, I will force myself to stay here, but I can't stay for many days.

Zhang Yuanwai was able to dispose of slaves at will before, and that was because he had a deed of sale for slaves, and he could execute these slaves at will. But Li Si is a talent who stood out in the imperial imperial examination, but he is not a slave and can be disposed of by him at will.

"That's good." Hearing Li Si say this, Zhang Yuanwai's face showed a distressed look, and he sighed a little.

"Why is my uncle so troubled?" Although Li Si knew why this outsider showed such an expression, he still asked knowingly.

"Hey, in fact, this is my family's ugly matter, and it's inconvenient to publicize it, but since I recognize you as an uncle and nephew, there's nothing to talk to you about." Zhang Yuanwai sighed and snorted coldly: "Actually, these things were caused by that jealous woman. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Yuanwai's tone revealed a strong hatred.

Li Si suddenly understood, he felt that Zhang Guo's was wrong at first, this woman and Zhang Yuanwai have such an age difference, how could it be Zhang Yuanwai's original match.

"I was in love with Miss Guo and was going to accept her into the house, but who knew that the jealous woman was forced to die, but she didn't let me take a concubine." Speaking of this, Zhang Yuanwai gritted his teeth a little, and seemed to hate the "jealous woman" now.

"Naturally, I will not be coerced by him and her, and I still take a concubine, which is my current wife Guo Qian." Saying that, Zhang Yuanwai affectionately grabbed Zhang Guo's delicate and white hand, and Zhang Guoshi also looked at Zhang Yuanwai with tender eyes. There is a feeling of concubine.

At this time, Li Si felt Zhang Guo's crystal jade feet rubbing against his calves. Looking at Zhang Yuanwai's head, he felt a little strange in his heart.

"And after that?" Li Si quietly continued to move the stool back, dodging the little feet under the table, and continued to ask Zhang Yuanwai.

Then the jealous woman committed suicide by jumping into a well. Zhang Yuanwai said that this sentence was relatively plain, and it was not his wife who died.

"Heh, why did she ask me not to take a concubine, just because she gave me a son? A few of the other families survived, but she only gave birth to one for me and was embarrassed to tell me that she had renew the incense for me. I thought I wouldn't take a concubine if I committed suicide, I not only took a concubine, I also straightened her up and became a wife. Zhang Yuanwai sneered.

"She's the ghost?" Li Si asked.

"Not bad." Zhang Yuanwai's expression changed from plain to angry, and he said indignantly: "I can't imagine that she will make the family uneasy when she dies, and I don't care about my relationship with her husband and wife at all." ”

Li Si sneered in his heart, when did this outsider care about the relationship with his wife. He said before that when his former wife died, he didn't bring the feelings between husband and wife at all.

Since then, the house has been haunted, and her cries can be heard every night. Zhang Yuanwai sighed and continued: "Several slaves in the family died, and all of them fell into the well and died. I have also reported to the officials, and I have come to more than a dozen errand officers, and several of them died that night, and the government no longer cares. ”

"Then I asked the steward to spread the word that whoever could subdue this demon would give him a thousand taels. A few people who were not afraid of death and had no ability came to die, and they died that night, and the corpses were blocked in the well, and the servants went to take out the corpses and wasted a lot of energy. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Yuanwai sneered.

"I wonder if there is a way for the virtuous nephew?" Speaking of this, he looked at Li Si with a hopeful gaze.

Li Si showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and sighed: "If my uncle asks me to do learning, I can do it, but where can I use this means of subduing demons and eliminating demons." ”

"That's right." Zhang Yuanwai nodded, with a look of pity on his face, as if he agreed with Li Si's words very much.

"Uncle, I also regret this incident. It's a pity that I don't have the means to subdue demons and eliminate demons, otherwise I would have killed this ghost for you. Li Si showed a look of righteous indignation on his face, as if he had a grudge against ghosts.

When Zhang Yuanwai saw Li Si like this, there was a hint of understanding in his eyes, it seems that this Mr. Li is really a cynical person as rumored. A gentleman-like character, it's just a pity that he doesn't know how to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and he is of little use to himself.

However, since he has entered his Zhang Mansion, it will be difficult to get out, no matter whether Li Si can subdue this ghost thing or not, he has to surrender. If he can't surrender, then he will die in Zhang's mansion.

At this time, Li Si put down the dishes and chopsticks, arched his hand to Zhang Yuanwai and said, "Uncle, I'm full, I'll come to visit you again when he comes to visit you in the future." I also wish you to find someone to destroy that ghost thing as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Yuanwai was also stunned when he heard Li Si say this, his face gradually turned cold, he put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and said coldly: "But my Zhang is not good at treating the virtuous nephew?" ”

"Naturally, no." Li Si hurriedly replied.

"Then why are you leaving?"

"Actually, I also think that the environment of your house is very good, and the food is good, but unfortunately I have an appointment with some families in the county, and I want to give lectures to young children today. If you have an appointment with someone, you naturally have to go. Li Si had a look of regret on his face, as if he especially wanted to stay in Zhang's Mansion.

Hearing Li Si's words, Zhang Yuanwai's face suddenly softened: "This matter is simple, I will let the slave go to the county town to say something, and it will be the same if I go again in a few days." Besides, didn't the virtuous nephew say that he wanted to borrow the books in my house? This is an opportunity. ”

Zhang Yuanwai beckoned to a servant, and when he got closer, he ordered, "Fan Fu, you go and inform me." ”

"Yes, sir." The servant respectfully received the commandment.

When Li Si saw this outsider's behavior, he chuckled in his heart, this old man really didn't want to let him go. This is to die and pull yourself on your back.

I also flipped through the memories of my predecessor in my mind, and sighed in my heart, my predecessor really borrowed books from Zhang's house. But at that time, where did Zhang Fu look at the predecessor, he was just a poor and sour talent. Drove the front straight out of the door.

There is no way for the predecessor to borrow books from Zhangfu, after all, this world is now a world of knowledge monopoly, and books are basically in the hands of some landlords and some families.

Normally, some people don't have access to books at all. In this era, there was no printing at all, and books were basically copied by hand. So this is also the reason why Li Si's predecessor asked to borrow books at the risk of being driven away by Zhang's mansion.

At this time, a lightning bolt crossed Li Si's mind, and suddenly thought of one thing, the original owner's family was not rich, why was there forty or fifty books in the study room at home?
