Chapter 52: Fame
Oh, I almost forgot, the ancients attached great importance to reputation, like the scholars of the Han Dynasty, if you want to be an official, you must have a good reputation in order to be recommended to be an official, if you don't have a good reputation, you will be spurned by the neighbors in the township!
You look at Wang Xiang in the Han Dynasty, his stepmother treated him like that, but people didn't care about their past suspicions, and went to the river to catch carp for others to eat in winter, why is this? It's just for a good name!
Because of this reputation, Wang Xiang was recommended by others and became a big official, famous for thousands of years.
"Oh, it turns out that it's because of this, of course, I can go back with you, but I also ask, after I go back, I won't be a cow and a horse for your family, I won't work for your family, and I won't listen to your mother, of course, if your mother and your sister want to beat me, I will fight back!" Liu Jixiang said emphatically.
Li Chen smiled, as bright as a peach blossom in March, "It's okay, but you can't do it too much!"
Liu Jixiang continued: "And you can't stay in your house for too long, so you have to give me a deadline!"
"Wait until I'm admitted!" Su Chen said slowly: "When I take the exam, my sister-in-law can leave whenever she wants!"
Liu Jixiang squinted his eyes and said angrily: "Then what if you don't have an exam in your life?" Am I not going to stay in your house for the rest of my life? That's not going to work!"
Li Chen was originally a handsome and polite son, and he had always maintained an elegant and generous way of treating people, but when he heard Liu Jixiang's words, his face almost collapsed, "Sister-in-law, I will definitely be admitted to the exam!"
"Give a deadline!" Liu Jixiang said emphatically.
Li Chen was silent for a long time, and his face was not as relaxed as before, it was very cold, "Three years!"
"What?" Liu Jixiang was angry, "A broken stone wants to exchange my time for three years, why do you think it's so beautiful, at most one year, otherwise don't talk about it!"
Li Chen didn't expect that his sister-in-law, who had always been gentle, would become so calculating, if it was three years, he was sure, but one year ...... He is indeed a little suspenseful in his heart, but now he is not afraid, and his sister-in-law's current personality is just right......
After Li Chen explained, he nodded, "Just like my sister-in-law said!"
Liu Ruyi was not happy, pulled her sister's sleeve, cried and said, "Sister, let's not go back over there, okay?" They're not good people, you stay at home obediently, I'll make a good profit, and I'll buy you whatever you want in the future......"
Liu Jixiang patted Liu Ruyi's hand and said soothingly: "Don't be afraid, if you don't want to go back with me, then you can stay at home, anyway, there is everything in the house now, and you don't have to worry about being hungry!"
But my sister has to go, so don't persuade my sister to stay at home honestly! “
Liu Ruyi's little face was full of tears, "Sister, don't go back, they are all bad people, they will beat you!"
Li Chen said gently: "Ruyi, don't be afraid, I promise you, my mother will never bully your sister again, if you are worried, then ······ You can go back with me, and Jinbao hasn't seen you during this time, I really miss you very much! “
It's okay not to mention Jinbao, but when Jinbao is mentioned, Liu Ruyi is even more scared, remembering that he was bullied before, he was scared like a quail, trembling all over.
Liu Jixiang saw through Liu Ruyi's fear and patted his hand, "Okay, your sister is no longer the sister she used to be, no one can bully me, only me bully others, so you can rest assured, stay at home honestly, and come back when my affairs are done!"
Liu Ruyi raised his head, revealing a little face full of tears, and said in a choked voice: "Sister, don't go, okay?" They'll also hit your ......"
She knew this, but she had to go, not only for the zombie crystal nucleus, but more importantly, to find out how they only came to this thing!
"Sister must go, so you are obedient!" Liu Jixiang's attitude was unusually firm.
Li Chen stood aside and said slowly: "Sister-in-law, it's not too late, let's hurry early, otherwise we will have to rush in the dark!"
And my mother misses you too, and I must be very happy to see you back! “
What do you miss me? You want me to go back and work for your house!
It's okay to go back, but you still have to have three chapters of the law!
So Liu Jixiang said with a warning: "It's okay to go back, but not now, and you have to emphasize one thing, that is, you can't call me sister-in-law anymore!"
Maybe it's the sequelae left by watching [Water Margin] when she was a child, anyway, when she heard about a sister-in-law or something, she got goosebumps!
Li Chen was a little puzzled, "Why can't you call your sister-in-law, you are indeed my sister-in-law, and if you don't call your sister-in-law, what is it called?"
"Sister-in-law!" Liu Jixiang took a deep breath, "Or sister-in-law, you can also call me by my name directly, Liu Jixiang!"
"Then let's call it sister-in-law!" Su Chen couldn't tell the difference, didn't "sister-in-law" and "sister-in-law" mean the same thing? Why is Liu Jixiang so resistant?
No matter what, Li Chen maintained a gentle attitude, his voice was also very clear, and he said politely, "Sister-in-law is an elder after all, if you call your name directly, I'm afraid it's too disrespectful to your sister-in-law, and it's not good for others to hear it!" “
Hahaha, if you talk to me about respect, that's a big joke, your family has never respected others.
Liu Jixiang turned his head, looked at Li Chen like this, looked up and down, looked at it for a long time, and said in a strange way: "You are a person...... It's too old, and it's like a "lotus"! “
Liu Jixiang didn't say that Li Chen was ugly, after all, the man in front of him was quite eye-catching, she said that Li Chen was like a lotus root, but that he had as many eyes as lotus roots!
Look for yourself, at first I wanted to play the emotional card, and I wanted to let myself go back to be a cow and a horse, but then I saw that the emotional card couldn't be played, and I reasoned with myself...... If it weren't for his amulet, it is estimated that his plan would have failed, but in the back, after realizing that he wanted his amulet, he began to talk to himself about the conditions, this man, I'm afraid not as gentlemanly as everyone says!
"Uh~~~" Li Chen didn't understand what his sister-in-law meant by this, just wanted to ask clearly, Liu Jixiang had already left, and when he was leaving, he waved his hand at him, "Tell Mrs. Li that I'll go back tomorrow, let her not be a demon at that time, let her be honest, don't force me to make a move, save time for everyone to find unpleasant!"
Li Chen watched Liu Jixiang leave like this, stared at her back for a long time, pondered for a long time, and suddenly smiled, and said to himself: "This is interesting·······
