Chapter 31 Fan Si set fire to Zhao's house
"Don't worry, you don't need to meddle in this matter, leave it to me." Cao Yu reached out and pinched Ling Xiu'er's nose, "Sometimes I wonder if you have forgotten that you still have a husband." Everyone else is a husband and a god, relying on your husband, but you always make me feel that you are taking care of me, and you don't give me a chance to take care of you. ”
Ling Xiu'er lowered her head a little embarrassed, Cao Yu was a little helpless, his little daughter-in-law was always used to carrying everything by herself.
Just as she was about to say a few more words to coax her, there was a knock on the door.
"Brother Cao, how is Mrs. Ling's injury? But it doesn't matter. ”
Cao Yu opened the door and saluted Zhang Ze: "Thank you Brother Zhang for your care, Humble Jing has gotten much better." ”
Zhang Ze returned the salute and said softly: "That's good, my mother asked me to send some supplements to Mrs. Ling to replenish her body." ”
Although he borrowed the name of the Sun family, Zhang Ze picked the best supplements in the warehouse to Ling Xiu'er. Although I don't know why Ling Xiu'er fainted, if it was him, he would definitely not let his beloved woman get hurt.
Cao Yu unceremoniously took the supplement, Ling Xiu'er needs this now. He pondered for a moment and continued: "Brother Zhang, I have something to ask for, and I hope Brother Zhang will fulfill it. ”
"Brother Cao is polite, you and I don't have to be so stubborn."
Zhang Ze looked at Cao Yu with bright eyes, in fact, he was looking at Ling Xiu'er on the bed behind him through Cao Yu, and heard Cao Yu say: "Although Humble Jing has recovered a little, her body has not fully recovered, and it is not suitable to move, I want her to borrow it here and recuperate for a few days." ”
"I thought it was something big." Zhang Zelang laughed loudly: "Brother Cao doesn't have to be polite, just treat Zhang's home as his own." My mother likes your wife the most, and I want her to talk more. ”
"In this way, then Brother Lao Zhang will bother."
Cao Yu settled Ling Xiu'er and felt a little relieved, but he still had one important thing to do.
Time flies quickly, the sun is about to set, Li Zhao is feeding pigweed in the pigsty, and she is teasing the pigweed with pigweed when she recovers her spirit.
"Mother, I'm back." Carrying a big burden, Li knocked on the door.
Li Zhao hurriedly opened the door for his daughter, "Yo, why are you back, how is the Cao family, has the matter been resolved?" ”
"Don't mention it, Ling Xiu'er's little hoof didn't come back for a day today, I guess he ran away! Fan Si is going to collect debts today, and I don't want to die with them. Isn't this just bringing all the valuable things at home and going home to avoid the limelight. ”
Li Zhao was happy when he heard it, "It's really a good daughter of a mother, and she is as smart as her mother!" Ay? What's going on outside? ”
Neither of them spoke, and they didn't know what was going on outside, and there was a commotion.
"Open the door and see."
"Hey."
Li Shi answered, and as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw an old acquaintance, who was Fan Si.
At this moment, Fan Sizheng commanded the younger brother: "Quickly pour oil on all the places, and pour them all around." Where's the fire fold, are you ready? ”
The smoke choked Li Zhao and couldn't open her eyes, and she hurriedly said: "Fight the fire,, whoever set the fire will create evil!" ”
Seeing that the firewood turkeys and ducks on the roof of his house were burned to ashes, Li Zhao cried his father and called his mother, tears and snot were all on the dark and wrinkled old face, the scene was tragic.
It was still Li who was a little calmer, and took Li Zhao to crawl out of the thatched house, only then did he see a group of people outside the thatched house for the sake of black, and the person at the head was not Fan Si.
"Burn it for me, and put a few more fires." Fan Si arrogantly instructed the slaves, and even the second-rate followers, took out a small bench and waited for Fan Si to sit down, and then brought tea to serve.
"Ouch, Master Fan, you burned the wrong one, you have to burn the Cao family, this is our family, we are the Li family, you see let them stop and put out the fire." Li Zhao's pug ran to Fan Si to explain.
Seeing Li Zhao's face blackened by the fire, he was bored, and Fan Si said viciously: "Lao Tzu didn't burn it wrong, it was your house that was burned, who let you owe money and not pay it back, it is only natural to repay the debt, what's wrong with burning your house." ”
"Master Fan, you can't burn it." Li Zhao hugged Fan Si's thigh and begged.
Fan Si stretched out his leg and kicked hard: "Get out of Lao Tzu, even if the king of heaven Lao Tzu comes today, I can't burn it!" ”
"Ouch!" Li Zhao was kicked far away, kneeling on the ground and wailing against his stomach.
"Mother!" Li dared to approach the fierce Fan Si so much, and saw his mother being kicked to the ground and hurried to help.
Li Zhao shook off Li's hand while wailing: "What are you doing in a daze, go and put out the fire!" ”
She regretted it, thinking that it was the Cao family's house that was burned, but she ended up lifting a stone and shooting herself in the foot. The Cao family's sluts must have done it by the Cao family!
"Firefighting, firefighting." Li was also frightened and cried when he saw this situation, and begged the neighbors to come out to put out the fire with tears on his face.
But the Li family has always liked to cause trouble, and there are too many times to quarrel and scold with the neighbors all year round, and the people in the circle have been offended, not to mention, it is the brother-in-law of the county master who came to set fire this time, and he is even more reluctant to go through this troubled water, and he closes the doors and windows one by one.
"Oh my house, oops!" When Zhao Li saw this situation, he could only spread out on the ground and hammer his chest and cry bitterly.
Zhang Ze was practicing calligraphy in the study at this time, a handsome son, standing with a long body, so not magnificent.
The maid didn't know that Zhang Ze was in the study, and three or two people gathered in the courtyard in front of the study to gossip.
"Alas, have you heard, our champion Lang lent the poor scholar Cao Yu thirty taels of silver, you tell me, what does this treat our champion Lang as, and I don't know what our adults like about him." The mother-in-law at the head danced with her bucket-thick waist eyebrows.
Another young daughter-in-law-like maid knocked on the melon seeds and smiled: "Our champion has a good heart, so he likes to be kind, but you don't know, you have to be kind to the right person, and the money given to the Cao family is afraid that it will be wasted." ”
"How can I say this, I think that Cao Gongzi is an upright person, not like a person who owes money and doesn't pay it back, and is shy to take advantage." The youngest yellow-haired girl retorted in a low voice.
The fat woman glanced at her and said disdainfully: "I don't know my heart, the poor scholar's thirty taels of silver are for the county official's brother-in-law Fan Si, what kind of goods is Fan Si?" Bullying men and women, it seems that the Cao family is in trouble......"
A group of people were talking lively, Zhang Ze opened the door expressionlessly, and the mother-in-law was startled: "My lord! ”
"Hmm." He didn't bother much, just let the group of tongue-chewing women leave.
Back in the house, Zhang Ze took out the folding fan and unfolded it, and fell into deep thought: Fan Si is not a good person, he is targeted by such a difficult person, he must not be distracted, what if he misses Lord Shangshu's errand.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so Zhang Ze put away the folding fan again and went to find Cao Yu.
"Brother Cao." Zhang Ze greeted Cao Yu in the courtyard, "Last time, Brother Cao asked me to borrow thirty taels of silver, if there was a big change in my family. ”
