"How many teenagers are willing?" Mrs. Ning looked at Li Danruo and said with a smile: "He has been setting up a stall in front of Zisheng Gate for more than two years, and several masters in the temple recognize it, yesterday I delayed a little more in the temple, one is to see how he sells words, and the other is to inquire about him, it sounds like this kid is a kind and sensible person, I asked people to go to the clan and the school to inquire quietly, and I asked a lot of things, one by one, I really is a rare and kind child." ”

"Lady didn't look at his essay volume?" Li Danruo said with a smile, and Mrs. Ning looked at Yang and said with a smile: "Listen, I'll say that if the fourth sister is a brother, she will be better than her father!" Of course the wife has to see it, and she has to look good! I asked people to find a reason to buy sour articles, and I bought four or five of his articles from Mr. Fuxue, and took them to your eldest brother to read, saying that they were excellent articles, reasonable, and honest, all of which were good words!" Old Madam Ning said the last few words to Yang, and Yang nodded with a smile: "Mother looks good, it must be good, how old is he this year?" It's almost twenty, right? I don't remember exactly. ”

"It's twenty-one, and the people of the first year, I have also found someone to meet with the eight characters, and I will not make any mistakes with you and the fourth sister." Old Madam Ning smiled, Li Danruo held Old Madam Ning's arm and smiled: "It's okay now, the family is full of happy events!" First of all, the mother-in-law had a big birthday, then the second sister got married, the second sister-in-law added Ding, and the mother got such a good stepson, and then she had to choose a daughter-in-law for her brother, marry a daughter-in-law, and in another year, add a great-grandson to the mother-in-law, and the happy events are really a string of happy events!"

Old Madam Ning breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction, looked at Yang and said with a smile: "This matter is not in a hurry, you go back and think about it for two days, and tell me if you think it's good, I will discuss it with Uncle Danruo and her again, this matter is decided, and I can also have a big heart." Yang Shi hurriedly smiled, and chatted with him for a while before taking Li Danruo back.

The next day, the Yang family replied, and Mrs. Ning sent the Yang family back to her parents' house, and told her mother, Mrs. Gao, and the two brothers, and got the consent of Mrs. Gao, so she called the eldest master Li Yujing and Mrs. Liu in, and said that she had taken a fancy to the stepson in the fourth room, and Li Yujing cautiously sent someone to inquire, and there was nothing wrong with it, and the matter was settled at the end of the Li Mansion.

…………

There is a very small inverted seat room on both sides of the gate of the house, the west room lives the gatekeeper Lao Cui Tou, and the east room is Li Yunzhi's residence.

Li Yunzhi's stepmother entered the door a few days ago, the eldest brother Li Yunzhi was almost empty-handed and was separated from the house, sister-in-law Zhang sold the dowry, bought a very small yard outside the old Fengqiu gate, three years ago, the second sister got married, in order to get back some of the dowry that his mother prepared for the second sister from the stepmother's hands, Li Yunzhi and his stepmother had a big quarrel, and was driven out of the house by his father with a stick, and the second sister was empty-handed, crying like tears on the shabby sedan chair with only a red cloth strip tied on the bar, and married out of the door, from then on, he and his brother, and two sisters, He cut off contact with his family.

Today is the tenth day off, there is no one in the school, Lao Cui Tou moved an old bamboo chair and half lay in the doorway, holding a small teapot in his hand, tilting his ears sideways, and trying to hear some movement from the closed door next to him.

After a while, the door squeaked open, and a middle-aged man dressed in a bronze brocade robe and dressed as a steward came out sideways with a smile on his face, and said politely while retreating: "Brother Zhi'er stay, stay away, then I'll come back tomorrow, brother stay!"

Lao Cui Tou couldn't help but put up a smile on his face, hurriedly stood up, and followed Li Yunzhi all the way out, seeing that the steward had gone away, Lao Cui Tou said with envy in his eyes: "This must be the big steward of a very rich family!" I admit it, if you look at the jade pendant hanging on his waist, I tell you, it is worth a hundred taels of silver...... What's the matter with you? Li Yunzhi didn't seem to hear his words at all, took two steps back, held the doorpost with his hand, and was dizzy for a long time before he took a deep breath, lifted his robe, and shouted while running towards Fengqiu Gate: "I'll come back later!"

"Going to your brother's house again? How can he have your food in his house? Old Cui Tou stretched his neck and shouted, Li Yun stopped his steps and turned around and ran into the house, opened the box, touched a cloth bag from the bottom of the box and put it in his arms, didn't even care about closing the door, waved at Lao Cui Tou, and rushed out again. Lao Cui put his hands behind his back, exhaled and muttered, "What's a good thing, I'm happy to be like this!"

Li Yunzhi rushed through, ran through the old Fengqiu Gate in one breath, and turned into a narrow and messy alley, the eldest brother Li Yun lived in this alley, in the courtyard, sister-in-law Zhang and nephew Xiaoxiu, nephew Xiaogui were peeling lotus seeds around a big wooden basin, peeling this large pot of lotus seeds, can earn five big money, Li Yunzhi held the courtyard door, his eyes were bright and panting, he raised his hand, but he couldn't speak, Zhang hurriedly stood up, wiped his frozen red hand on the apron and smiled: "Erlang is here, have you eaten?" There are still a few nests in the pot, a bowl of salty soup, and I will serve it to you. ”

"No...... Sister-in-law, don't be busy," Li Yunzhi took a few more breaths and stepped into the door, bent down and rubbed Xiaoxiu and Xiaogui's heads and smiled: "I'm not hungry, when will the eldest brother come back?" ”

"I have to come back when it gets dark, he looked for a job in the meat market before, and he can do it for a month, and you come to eat at home this month." Zhang smiled, Li Yunzhi took out the cloth bag from his arms and stuffed it into Zhang's hand: "There are twenty or thirty big money here, sister-in-law go buy some meat, sell two dimes of wine, hurry up and call the eldest brother back, I have something urgent to tell him!" Zhang looked at Li Yunzhi in amazement, stayed for a moment, hurriedly untied his apron, and walked out while looking for a basket, while instructing Xiaoxiu: "Xiu, go boil the pot of water, make a pot of tea for your uncle, and I'll come back." Xiaoxiu said yes.

Li Yunzhi waited anxiously for a long time, Li Yun was even more dirty, and strode in with a flat burden, Zhang followed behind with a basket, and set up the dishes and chopsticks in the hall, Li Yunzhi first allocated most of the pig's head meat and other things to a sea bowl, and then took a few cooking cakes and handed them to his nephew and niece and said with a smile: "Go and eat it hot with your mother." Xiaoxiu Xiaogui took it excitedly and ran to the kitchen.

"What's the urgency?" Li Yun was even more puzzled and uneasy, Li Yun exhaled and said, "This afternoon, the chief steward of the Jiaolou Street Mansion came to look for me. Li Yunzhi paused, Li Yun looked at Li Yunzhi even more stunned, Li Yunzhi smiled and said: "Said that the old lady took a fancy to me and wanted me to go to his house to take care of you, and asked me if I would like to." Li Yun's eyes blinked, gradually widened, until they were round, and after a moment, he suddenly slapped the table heavily and shouted: "Show her mother!"

Zhang's rushed in in a panic, and Li Yun pointed at her and shouted: "Hurry up, call the eldest aunt and the second aunt, quickly!" Don't worry about anything, hurry up! Big deal!" Zhang's 'hey', ran two steps in a panic, and called his daughter urgently: "Xiu, you go to your second aunt's house, hurry!" Tell her to come quickly!"

Xiaoxiu chewed the meat in her mouth, grabbed another piece of it, and ran out after her.

After a meal, Li Yunzhi's eldest sister and second sister arrived panting, and Li Yun even stopped Zhang's and said, "You also sit and listen." ”

Li Yunzhi said two sentences about Cheng's matter, and the eldest sister stayed for a long time, and said with her hands: "Buddha bless, when my mother was alive, I always thought about this good thing, and when I mentioned it, I said that I was dreaming again!" You've been studying since you were a kid...... This time it's a good ......," the eldest sister choked up so much that she couldn't speak.

"Look at you, I can't say that anymore." Li Yun was already drunk and his face turned red: "Brother Zhi'er is the life of great fortune and nobility, you go, support others well, our family has me, there is your nephew, you just have to go, live a good life, live a good life!"

"Well, I can also help my eldest brother and sister in the future." Li Yunzhi said with a smile, and the second sister reached out and dusted off Li Yunzhi's robe with pity: "Don't have such a heart, people succeed you, not to help our family, you can live a good life, your brother and sister are not unable to live this life." ”

"This is reasonable, the eldest sister doesn't ask you for help, but if you want to help, wait for you to have your own ability, sincerely respect others, and live a good life, ah?" The eldest sister stretched out her hand and patted Li Yunzhi's arm and explained, Li Yunzhi was choked with a choked throat and couldn't speak, only lowered her head and kept nodding.

Li Yun's face was even redder, he raised his head and poured another glass of wine into his mouth, patted the table and said excitedly: "Don't worry about you, this is a big foil!" You are twenty-one years old, and when your sister-in-law mentioned your marriage before, I didn't close my eyes all night, so what will I give you a marriage? This is not! All right! It's all together, how good! Leave it alone at home! There's your brother! Your eldest brother still has a lot of strength! Study hard, in the future, if it becomes a tool, I will also provide him with a study, say anything, if it is not a tool, I will tell Cao Qi at the entrance of the alley, let him follow to learn to catch medicine! You don't care! Have a good time with yours!" Li Yun stiffened his tongue and spoke incoherently.

"Grab the medicine! Clean and decent!"

……

The more people in the room talked, the farther and farther they went, and the excitement was until the time of the people, Li Yunzhi sent the eldest sister and the second sister home, and then turned back to the house refreshed.

The succession of the four rooms is extremely smooth, the Li family, and now Li Jingsheng's branch is the most precious of Zhu Zi, and the He family has a lot to rely on, how can anyone dare to go against it? Sacrificed to the ancestors, changed the ancestral genealogy, because it was the official body of Nengenyin, and went to the official mansion to prepare the bottom case, Li Yunzhi kowtowed for almost a day from the middle of the night, when it was near, the chief steward of Min led him from the side door into the Li Mansion, all the way to introduce the courtyards of various buildings, along the southwest corner to a flower and tree support, pink walls and green tiles, it looks very broad in front of the courtyard, on the steps of the courtyard gate, two small hats in green clothes, fourteen or fifteen years old little guy stood with his hands down, a little guy in an indigo silk coat, fifteen or sixteen years old was standing on the steps and looked around, Seeing the two of them, he hurriedly took a few steps down the steps and greeted them with a smile on his face.

"Third master, this is Pingfu, your courtyard is now taken care of by him temporarily, and the small one will retreat first, if there is anything, you just send someone to the outer courtyard steward's room to order the small one." Chief Steward Min smiled respectfully and affectionately with Li Yunzhi, Li Yunzhi politely sent two steps sideways, and Chief Steward Min hurriedly thanked him, took a few steps back and went out.
