Li Huai stood lost for a while, and limped out of the bookstore.

Since the hopelessness of the imperial examination, he has actually been a long, long time and has not touched books.

At present, the only thing he reads with text is the account book of the grain store.

Before, Li Huai patronized and communicated with the old couple, and he didn't have time to shift the topic to how Brother Xian'er entered Xingzhi Academy.

It seems that at the end of this month, I will have to take time to go back to my old house.

Li Huai walked for a while, felt a little hungry, and ordered a pot of wine and two small dishes at a small restaurant near the bookstore, and ate a meal leisurely.

When he arrived at the grain store, his clever young man made him a pot of good tea, and put a plate of melon seeds on the table and sent it to him.

Li Huai sat down and rested for a while, and then began to read the account book.

Well, it's time to stock up again in two days.

During these days, many families came to the town to buy food. A few days ago, there was a lot of commotion because of the conscription order, and there were many people who bought food.

Then there was a stubble of frost and a hailstorm, and many people in the village couldn't sit still, so they sent cotton clothes and quilts to pawnshops, exchanged them for cash, and bought grain back.

These buns don't want to think about it, just the melons and dates they bought, enough to eat for a few days?

If there is really a famine, it must be a life escape!

Li Huai shook his head and sneered, took two sips of hot tea, and continued to read the account book.

It wasn't until it was dark that he called it a day and went home.

When I got home, I saw that the house was very tidy, and it was neater than when the old woman was there.

Is this Cao's transsexuality?

Or did this loser not only buy a cook, but also buy a few more people?

"Cao, are you going to go to the tooth today?"

"The lord is back. Look at what you said, didn't you say you wanted to buy a cook? ”

Li Huai pointed to the surrounding environment suspiciously:

"A cook is so capable?"

Cao Shi smiled: "Isn't it? This cook is very expensive!

It cost me sixteen taels of silver. No matter how much he bargained, the man didn't let go of his teeth.

But it's worth the price.

This cook not only cooks good tea and rice, but also does good embroidery work.

Even the rough work of sprinkling and sweeping is coming!

It is very rare to work quickly and diligently, and at the same time be loyal and docile. ”

Seeing that Cao's praised the cook as a flower, Li Huai was also interested:

"Oh, there is such a capable person in the world? Call me and show me! ”

Cao Shi opened his throat and shouted: "Cicada Niang, come here, please say hello to the master!" ”

Someone answered in the distance, and Li Huai saw a slender figure walking over, and his heart was overjoyed.

However, when the cook really stood in front of him, he saw that the cook was thin and shriveled, and her complexion was very bland......

Okay, you Cao, you are waiting for me here!

Li Huai glanced at Cao Shi coldly, and sure enough, he saw the smile on Cao's lips that he didn't have time to hide.

My heart was filled with anger.

These women, one by one, are so self-righteous!

Sister Zhu was originally a good girl's family, but she didn't listen to her words as a father, so she didn't stay in the boudoir to practice female celebrity, and went out to wander all day long, what was the result? provoked the evil star of the Pang family! I can only run to the countryside to avoid trouble!

Sister Xin'er, that dead girl, somehow coaxed the old man and the old lady to believe her so much! was willing to let her use the silver of the white flowers indiscriminately! If you say you buy a book, you will buy a book, and you won't even hit a stumble! Let her retreat, and she still refuses to retreat!

And Cao's! Throwing dishes and bowls all day long, looking at yourself and not knowing?

If she wasn't too harsh, would the old woman be able to put the money and not make money, and she would be angry with her?

This asked her to buy a cook, they all said that they wanted to buy a younger one, and she could pick such a product! It's really young when you're young, but how can this face look like this...... It's really hard for her!

Li Huai here has a secret hatred in his heart, and Cao over there is also a lot of anger in his heart.

She knew Li Huai's careful thoughts. Li Huai didn't miss a breath before!

This old man doesn't cultivate, and he has long wanted to buy a young and tender girl to come back and serve him! If it weren't for the resolute attitude that I have been holding back my head, I am afraid that I would have bought it back a long time ago. At this point, maybe even a child will be born!

He didn't make muddy noodles, how could he let him get his wish!

Cao and Li Huai had their own thoughts, but they forgot about the cook.

After the cook saluted and greeted her, she saw that the two masters only glanced at each other, and then they became silent, and they couldn't help but be a little timid. It's true that she's been resold several times, and she doesn't want to be displaced like that anymore.

After waiting quietly for a while, and seeing that the master still had no orders, the cook could not help but kowtow and beg:

"Please be merciful to the lord and lady, don't drive the cicada mother away......"

This sound suddenly woke up the two masters with different hearts.

Li Huai sighed and said:

"Get up, it's none of your business. Do a good job, and no one will drive you away. ”

Cao Shi glanced at Li Huai, and made sure that he didn't see any trace of interest in the cook from his eyes, so he nodded arrogantly:

"What I mean is what I mean. Rest assured.

Let's go down and get busy. It is not advisable to eat too well in the evening. Lightly, make four or five dishes, and you're done. ”

The cook was too busy to respond, and hurriedly ran into the kitchen to prepare supper.

Cao Shi opened his mouth before Li Huai got angry:

"I don't think you brought that box back? Our mother really made a windfall? ”

……

In the academy, Li Xixian had already obtained the bookcase and package sent by the gatehouse through the subordinates of the academy.

A full set of "Four Books", "Five Classics", the brand-new "Three Hundred Thousand", and "Liweng Rhyme", when he saw these, he immediately had mixed feelings in his heart.

Back then, he once asked the bookmaker who broke into the school, and he knew that even the price of the old book was not cheap.

What's more, these books are still very new!

Soon, Li Xixian concentrated and continued to listen to his lecture.

It's like a dream......

But even if you dream, you have to dream as long as you can!

Ding Ban's husband also happens to be surnamed Ding, and he is a thin young student. I heard that he is a personal disciple of Mr. Gu, the head of the academy. This Mr. Ding has a very gentle temperament.

If the naughty boy made a mistake, he would only punish him, and never beat the ruler.

Although Li Xixian is a newcomer, he is not the only older student in this class.

Before him, there were four or five young people of about his age, who had entered the academy and studied here.

However, these half-grown children are very naughty.

In class, often within a quarter of an hour, Mr. Ding would have to take one or two out of the class, and let them stand in the courtyard, to the porch where people came and went, and to stand against the wall.

These half-grown children are at the time of great energy and curiosity.

For them, even standing on the porch and watching the servants walking around and working, and the flowers, birds, fish, and insects in the yard was far more interesting than staying in class and listening to the drowsy people.

Today, Ding Ban turned out to be a newcomer......
