The shock in Luo Wuchen's heart was incomparable: he was very talented in chess, even if Li Hanyao was also talented, but he was five years younger than him, how could he surpass him? This Sister Li is too bewitching!
Sweat dripped from the dust-free head.
Li Hanyao became more and more calm.
"Smack!"
Li Hanyao fell down, looked at Luo Wuchen and said with a smile: "Brother Wuchen, I have conceded!" You didn't let me, did you? Say yes and don't let it go. β
Luo Wuchen stood up and said with a wry smile: "My sister said that I laughed, the foolish brother wanted to let me, but he didn't have that confidence." In my opinion, my sister has not done her best. β
Li Hanyao waved his little hand and said, "I did my best, and I used all my strength to eat." I'm hungry. β
Everyone laughed at what he said.
After this game, Luo Xia looked at Li Hanyao differently: although she was born in a businessman's family, she was taught by a father like Li Zhuohang, who knew poetry and books, was good at layout, and knew how to manage.
He was full of praise for Li Hanyao.
Li Zhuohang also boasted about Wuchen, and said: "Yao'er won a small game, which is nothing. What Wuchen has learned, how can she be compared to a girl's family! β
Luo Xia was modest on her lips, but she thought so in her heart.
Luo Wuchen didn't dare to think like this, he saw Li Hanyao casually report those books, which shows that he reads a wide range of books on weekdays, but he doesn't dare to underestimate her.
He couldn't help but want to get close to her and get to know her, and when he was drinking tea after dinner, he looked at Li Hanyao expectantly and asked, "Would it be good to have another game?" β
Li Hanyao also had this intention and nodded happily.
The two set the tide again.
It was very easy to start, and while falling into the dust, he asked Li Hanyao with a smile: "Is it okay for my sister to let the two foolish brothers and sons?" "A joking tone, amusing the little ones.
Li Hanyao said: "It's not good! I had a hard time winning you just now, don't let me! β
Luo Wuchen pretended to regret it: "Don't let it...... I want to win my sister. β
Li Hanyao said: "Let's have a fair showdown. β
Luo Wuchen said: "Brother Fool is five years older, does my sister think this is fair?" β
Li Hanyao said: "It's fair." I am willing to endure hardships, I use it for two days a day, and I am about the same age as Brother Wuchen. β
Luo Wuchen said: "Can it still be counted like this?" β
Li Hanyao said: "Of course you can." Diligence redeems stupidity. β
Luo Wuchen said: "What does my sister mean, the foolish brother is a lazy guy?" β
Li Hanyao said: "I didn't say it. It's my brother who is too hearty. β
Luo Wuchen said: "Okay, count me too much." The foolish brother and sister are crisscrossing on the chessboard, with superb chess skills and great ambitions. β
Li Hanyao said: "Brother has no ambitions? β
Luo Wuchen had to admit that there was, wouldn't young people be laughed at if they had no ambitions?
Li Hanyao looked at him with disdain and said, "Brother is too hypocritical! Isn't ambition an ambition? If you don't have ambitions, why don't you throw in the towel? β
Luo Wuchen hurriedly said: "There is still a difference between the two......
Li Hanyao said: "That's what you said wrong!" How can you say that I am ambition and you yourself are ambition? How can I win chess with dignity and ambition? β
Luo Wuchen said: "It's the foolish brother who said it wrong." β
Li Hanyao said tolerantly: "If there is a mistake, change it, and the good is great." β
Luo Wuchen looked at her red little mouth and said non-stop, not delaying the whereabouts of his hands, and couldn't help but smile, he had never been so happy.
Li Zhuohang and Luo Xia looked at a pair of children and were delighted: Li Zhuohang felt that Luo Wuchen was frank and open in Chicheng, and Luo Xia also felt that Li Hanyao was really cute but not arrogant and capricious, and she could be described as a good daughter-in-law, so she was close to Li Zhuohang.
Li Zhuohang continued to explain Luoxia's errand.
Li Zhuohang said: "The virtuous brother is willing to bend to the trumpet, and the foolish brother has to trust you: the Huizhou branch of the Taiping business has now been handed over to the clan brother Li Zhuoyuan, and the brother is in charge of the accounts, and the clan brother is a constraint on each other......"
He told Luo Xia about the ten-year covenant between himself and Li Zhuoyuan, and asked Luo Xia to keep an eye on this place for him, if Li Zhuoyuan kept to himself; If you try to do it, you have to tell him in time so that he can respond.
Luo Xia said solemnly: "Brother Li, please rest assured, this is what the younger brother should do." β
He was entrusted by Li Zhuohang, and he felt at ease, indicating that he was eating with his ability, rather than Li Zhuohang taking care of him in front of Ge Ting.
After explaining, Li Zhuohang should lead Luo Xia to the front to get familiar with the errand and know colleagues, but Li Hanyao is playing chess with Luo Wuchen, and it is still etiquette for the two children to contact in front of them, and it is not appropriate to leave the two to get along alone, so Li Zhuohang did not get up, and talked to Luo Xia about Qinghua Mansion.
Li Hanyao went down with Luo Wuchen for an afternoon.
The father and son of the Luo family had dinner at Li's house before leaving.
Sending them away, Li Zhuohang asked Li Hanyao as if unintentionally: "How are your brother's chess skills and chess products?" He asked very cleverly.
Li Hanyao said happily: "Very good." β
She really thinks that Luo Wuchen has a good temperament, her chess skills are on par with her, and she has talent to learn, he can take whatever she says, and she has a lot of fun today.
Li Zhuohang saw that she only said two words, but it could be seen that she was very happy, and she had a good impression of Luo Wuchen, and she was happy and sour for a while. The good thing is that there is finally a young man who can choose a son-in-law, and the sour thing is that he is reluctant to marry his daughter.
Soon, he was out of time.
Early the next morning, Wang Zhao sent someone to ask him to go to the Yamen of the Inspectorate, and he was not the only one who went, but also a dozen local squires in Huizhou.
In the hall sat Wang Zhao and a cadre of officials.
Li Zhuohang sat down, and when he heard that the purpose of summoning them was to raise money for the military.
Because the governor of Huizhou asked the local forbidden army to quell the chaos, the general said that there is no military spending, and when there is a war, the soldiers and horses will go first before the grain and grass are moved, and there is no military money and military supplies, how to fight? The state promised him 100,000 taels of military expenses, not including a reward afterwards.
Wang Zhao was anxious to exterminate Ye Butcher and Hu Qingfeng and others, for fear that things would change after a long time, so he couldn't wait for the governor and the political envoy to plan and allocate this expense, and took the initiative to take over the errand of raising military expenses, saying that he wanted to raise donations.
This fundraising ethos is prevalent in Jiangnan.
There are many wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River, and if they want to buy and sell smoothly, they need to take care of the government properly: they need to collect donations in case of disasters, they need to raise donations for road construction, and they need to raise donations for water conservancy construction, and there are many names. Although Huizhou is not as wealthy as Huzhou and Linhu Prefecture, officials are reluctant to give up this way to make a fortune, and often fabricate names and loot money.
Wang Zhao rebelled against everyone, the people rebelled, the world was not peaceful, and everyone's business would also be affected. He specially cited the example of the Li family's Taiping shop in Qinghua Mansion, which was attacked and looted by the rioters, confirming that this danger was all around everyone, and it was not that he was alarmist, so he sent troops to suppress it.
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Li Zhuohang.
Li Zhuohang was shouting all over his body, wanting to tell the truth, but he couldn't say it, and it was useless to say it, but it would bring disaster to the Li family.
But he must not acquiesce.
He said, "Actually, those victims were bewitched by people with ulterior motives. The man said that the Li family colluded with the government and resold the official food for disaster relief, so the victims were angry. When the villain explained to them, they realized that they were mistaken. The food and goods were given to them by the villain. The villain has been providing disaster relief in Qinghua Mansion. Then he said to the king: "Your Excellency can send someone to check who is behind it." β
Wang Zhao said: "This official has already found out, but there are treacherous people among the victims, and Master Li has fallen for them." β
Everyone suddenly said, "I see." β
Li Zhuohang lowered his eyes, and he knew that this was the result. This is still what he said implicitly, if he directly refers to the people behind the scenes of Governor Liu's mansion, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape the mouth.
After Wang Zhao announced, he let everyone disperse, go back to discuss and raise money, and left Li Zhuohang alone as long as Li Zhuohang donated, and others did not donate.
There is another chapter later.
