Chapter 45: The unlucky second brother Li
"Don't worry, lady, Ah Lang has already prepared two thousand taels of silver, Ye Xi and I will go with us, and we will take care of it along the way to ensure that Ah Lang will not suffer. The lady packed up some changes of clothes at night, and asked Ye Lu to take them tomorrow, and it didn't take much, maybe she would be back tomorrow. Ye Fu saw that the Lin family was only crying and crying, and he couldn't wait, so he hurriedly explained and drove the ox cart to catch up.
"Zhang's eldest Erlang, Li Sanlang's ......, get on the ox cart quickly, it's cold to walk." Ye Fu greeted the walking officials one by one, saying that this yamen was poor enough, and there was only one carriage in total. In this way, half of the people came on foot, and they were greeted by Ye Fu politely, and they all got into the car.
The Ye family's oxcart is not exquisite, but it is specially equipped with a charcoal basin, which is much warmer. Coupled with snacks and tea, the officials who had been busy for a long time relaxed.
"Brothers, it's really our business that the Zhao family's eldest is dead! Yesterday afternoon, we gave the money, and we took the two old people back to the countryside, and we didn't go out all night! Besides, my Ah Lang's purse hasn't been lost at all! Ye Fu diligently served tea and poured water, while talking.
"Alas! Ye Fu, I have known you Ah Lang for many years, and I still don't know who he is, but ......" Zhang Dalang said and pointed to the sky, and said, "We can't help it!" ”
"The purse?"
"Hehe, Ye Fu, your dim sum is really good, come, come, you can eat some too." Zhang Dalang was reluctant to say, when he didn't hear the change of topic.
"Yes, yes, don't just greet us, you also drink tea." "Drink tea, drink tea, it's comfortable to drink tea on a cold day."
The officials were very strict, and Ye Fu couldn't ask anything. However, Ye Fu is not in a hurry, these servants are all ghosts and ghosts, and they don't have money to open the way, don't want to know what is useful. Now there are a lot of people, and I'll talk about it in the evening.
……
"Yunxi Yunkai, don't be sad, Mr. must be auspicious and come back safely." Fu Junzhuo comforted dryly.
"yes, it will." Yunxi replied weakly. Yun Kai also snorted sullenly. The two of them were really unhappy, their father was taken away inexplicably, their grandfather was not good at their work, and their mothers didn't think about tea and dinner. My uncle was busy taking care of my father and mother, and I didn't care about everything; Lin was in a trance and often made mistakes; was so scared that Yunjin followed the Lin family all day long, and he couldn't care about Yunxi.
"Alas!" I'm still too weak to help with anything.
"Alas!" Yunkai has learned the same, and the child has also been tossed and sensible these days, and he is crazy not to go out with Fu Junzhuo.
"Alas!" Fu Junzhuo also sighed, Yunxi Yunkai was not happy, and he was not interested in playing, so he would accompany him at the gate to be a lookout for his father.
Just as they were waiting in disappointment, there was a "clanging" sound in the air.
"It's the sound of cowbells." Yun Kai was always the first to hear it, and he rubbed to his feet. Yunxi, who was playing with a snowball, pricked up his ears and listened, and sure enough, there was a faint jingling sound. She stood up expectantly, too.
After a while, in the eyes of the three of them, an ox cart appeared, turning the stone bridge, and it was coming to the Ye family. Yunxi snorted and ran out.
Unfortunately, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. It was not the Ye family who drove the ox cart, but the Li family who borrowed the cart a few days ago. Sure enough, it was Zhang Sanniang who jumped out of the car.
When Zhang Sanniang saw Yunxi and the others, her face showed a look of guilt and anxiety, and even Li Dalang looked a little overwhelmed. Why are these two people sorry for themselves? Can't you? It's a bit of a hit, right?
"Little lady, lady is at home, I have something to say." Zhang Sanniang opened her mouth to see the Lin family, Yunxi felt that she must be in trouble, but after thinking about it, it was not bad to divert her mother's attention, so she agreed.
Seeing that Yunxi agreed, Zhang Sanniang pulled down Second Brother Li from the car again, Second Brother Li had a blue nose and swollen face, and he looked so scary. Zhang Sanniang and her son were silent all the way, and Yunxi looked at them curiously several times, but she didn't react, as if she was brewing something in her heart. Second Brother Li's eyes are a little evasive, which is really strange.
Lin was doing needlework in the main room, obviously absent-minded. Chunlan reported twice, and then she raised her head blankly, "What's the matter?" ”
"Mother, Zhang Sanniang asks to see." Yunxi stepped forward and said.
"Oh, oh, okay, let her in." Lin said, brushing his hair and pulling his clothes. Seeing that Yunxi's nose was sour, he turned his head, the Lin family had no intention of dressing up these days, and his expression was haggard, where is there still the style of the owner's lady!
Zhang Sanniang was also startled when she came in, what happened, why is the lady even more haggard than herself? She really wanted to turn around and come back another day, but she couldn't think about it, so she had to put her heart sideways, or let's say it.
"Zhang Sanniang, sit down." Lin said, "What's the matter?" ”
"Lady, I'm here to plead guilty." Zhang Sanniang not only didn't sit, but also pulled Second Brother Li to kneel down towards Yunxi with a plop. Scared Yunxi so much that he jumped back, and quickly got out of the way, why did he kneel for me? It's scared to death.
"What's going on? Get up and talk about it. Zhang Sanniang scared the Lin family this time, how could anyone kneel down to a child casually, this is not good, you have to lose your life.
"Honestly kneel!" Zhang Sanniang scolded her son and got up by herself.
"Lady, you don't know, my kid, he's sorry for the second lady!" Zhang Sanniang said viciously, "The little lady is delicious and teaches their brothers and sisters to eat fish, but he uses this method to go to Youzhou to sell it for money, it is really a conscience to let the dog eat it, ungrateful, how can I have a son like you, and create evil!" Zhang Sanniang cried and beat her son as she spoke, and Second Brother Li was staggered by the beating, and he didn't resist.
"Stop, stop." The Lin family didn't figure out anything, so they were busy asking people to stop Zhang Sanniang.
Chunlan Qiulan hurriedly went up to pull Zhang Sanniang and pressed her on the stool.
"Ask the owner to send it down." Zhang Sanniang said this and was silent.
That's it?
"Yunxi, you say, what is the way to make fish, when will you cook?" Lin asked, she and Yun Jin are still confused, Yun Xi has only been in the kitchen a handful of times, what can she do?
"I know, I know." Yun Kai jumped out and said, "Mother, the second sister doesn't know where I heard the method, which can remove the fishy smell of the carp, it's amazing." ”
"Remove the fishy smell of carp?" Lin didn't believe it, the most in the river was carp, but it was so unpalatable, unless it was really uneaten, otherwise no one would touch that thing.
"It's true, second sister, you say." Yunkai was busy fishing with Fu Junzhuo that day, and he didn't have time to watch it, so he couldn't say clearly, so he could only let Yunxi say it.
"That's it...... That'...... It's not fishy. Yunxi had no choice but to organize the language and speak it again.
"Your face, what's going on?" Yunxi asked curiously. Yunxi really didn't expect that Second Brother Li was quite clever and knew how to sell to make money, but looking at his blue nose and swollen face, it was obviously not very smooth!
"I ......" Second Brother Li was hesitant and embarrassed, but he also knew that he couldn't say it anymore, so he explained intermittently.
It turned out that this kid had eaten no carp since he went back that day, and his heart was full of life, thinking about selling it for money, and he was afraid that he would be close to the filling quickly, so he actually coaxed his cousin to go to the county seat with him.
I don't want my cousin to resolutely oppose it after learning about his idea, and I want to pull him back. Naturally, he didn't listen, and broke free and ran away.
After running away, he went to sell the method, and the way to sell was naturally to find a restaurant, so he found a big and magnificent restaurant to enter. He was still quite vigilant, and if he didn't give the money, he wouldn't teach the way, so the shopkeeper paid him ten taels of silver first, and he taught others the way.
At the end of the transaction, Meizidi left through the back door at the request of the shopkeeper. didn't want the back door to be a remote alley, and then he was directly beaten by the people in the restaurant, his nose and face were swollen, and the silver was also snatched away. If his cousin hadn't found him in time, he didn't know if he would have been killed.
Hearing what happened to Second Brother Li, Yunxi was speechless, you don't have the aura of the protagonist, so many people make money by selling recipes, not only do you have no money, I'm afraid you have a lot of stickers, right? Look at this face, tsk!
"Yunxi, what do you think?" Lin didn't have any good ideas after hearing this, although Second Brother Li didn't do it right, but if you look at his injury, it's almost the same.
Yunxi didn't know what to do, although she didn't think about making money with this method, but Second Brother Li could be regarded as betraying the interests of the owner, right? If he is not punished, what if everyone wants to follow suit in the future? Next year, her family will plant peppers, develop the breeding industry, and ......, and there are a lot of things that need to be kept secret.
"Go back and raise it, and wait for the spring of next year to come to work at home, half a year, no money. Let's go back! Yun Jin saw that the Lin family and Yun Xi were hesitant, so he directly ordered. The big and small ones are all soft-hearted, which is really worrying, and Yun Jin feels that he will definitely have gray hair early.
Zhang Sanniang looked at the Lin family, looked at Yunxi, and saw that neither of them objected, so she agreed. Pulled Second Brother Li up and left with a thousand thanks.
Then, of course, Yunxi was caught by Yun Jin and taught a good lesson, and even Yunkai Fu Junzhuo was eaten and hung up. Yunxi, who was dizzy after being trained, was very angry, Second Brother Li, you are a stupid melon, why are you so unlucky, and this girl is also guilty.
