Chapter 52: Expulsion
After going out, Li Yanling turned around, saw that Chu Zhongyuan also came out, thought about it and stopped, and when Chu Zhongyuan came over, she asked, "Brother Chu, are you going to buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?" Otherwise, I'll go with you, and then we'll go back." ”
Chu Zhongyuan said: "I have other things, let's see you at the city gate." ”
In this way, he came here to help her sell medicinal herbs.
Li Chonglou's heart was hot, and although Chu Zhongyuan didn't say anything, he was actually very good to her.
They were just about to part ways when they heard a slightly hoarse man's voice say, "It's really Brother Chu, is this my sister-in-law?" Your taste is getting worse and worse, it's the first place in our academy, why are you so downcast that you marry such an ugly daughter-in-law? Tsk, what a pity. ”
Li Chonglou looked back at this stinky man, who was about the same age as Chu Zhongyuan, but his height and appearance were not half a star.
The man was dressed in silk and satin, followed by a small servant, shaking a folding fan.
Li Chonglou's eyes looked at Chu Zhongyuan.
Chu Zhongyuan frowned because of disgust: "Love Letter Academy student." ”
Li Chonglou thought that Chu Zhongyuan was not going to school now, so he stepped forward and asked, "What kind of person did you say first?" ”
Cao Zifeng didn't expect that the pride of the sky, the woman of Chu Zhongyuan, asked this in the first sentence.
smiled: "You don't know? Didn't Brother Chu tell you? Before I met my junior sister, Brother Chu was the first in our college, but unfortunately he was not right, he coveted the little junior sister, and was expelled by the mountain chief. ”
"Also, how could he tell you about such a disgraceful past."
"You fart!" Li Chonglou pouted and smiled, his eyes were indifferent: "My big brother Chu's talent and appearance, only others covet his share, it can't be that he covets others, I think you are the one who covets that little junior sister, and then you come to slander my big brother Chu, listening to your sour words, it must be that your knowledge is not good, and your character is not good." If you have the ability to work hard in your studies and character, you have to learn from the long-tongued woman to speak ill of people, and you are not afraid that Nayasha will cut your tongue short. ”
Chu Zhongyuan, who was on the side, looked stunned, and his eyes were as bright as stars looking at Li Chonglou with inexplicable meaning.
"You little slut dare to scold me?" Cao Zifeng raised the fan and was about to hit Li Chonglou in the face.
It was a bone fan handle, with the sound of the wind, and if it was slapped in the face, it would take a long time to recover if it was not disfigured.
Chu Zhongyuan quickly grasped Cao Zifeng's arm, his eyes were indifferent as if looking at a dead man,
Originally, Cao Zifeng was a little scared to stop, but he didn't want his fingers to hurt, the fan missed, and then the snapping sound kept hitting his face, as if he was being topped by a cow, and he was dizzy in pain.
"Stop, stop!"
Li Chonglou had enough, and slapped the fan on Cao Zifeng's face: "My name is Li Chonglou, my family lives in the easternmost part of the mountain, I will beat you today, if you are not convinced, you can find me for revenge at any time, but I look at your face, you have kidney fire, and you will not be able to urinate smoothly within three days, so you better not offend me, because I am a doctor." ”
After speaking, he called Chu Zhongyuan: "Brother Chu, let's go." ”
Chu Zhongyuan saw that Cao Zifeng hadn't reacted yet, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he turned around and left.
looked at the straight neck of the girl in front of her, like a noble white ...... Black swan, Chu Zhongyuan pursed his lips.
"Say whatever you want." Li Chonglou didn't look back, looking down at the small things on the side of the road.
Chu Zhongyuan was surprised by her sensitivity and carefulness, and said in a low voice: "You just believe me like that? ”
Li Chonglou turned around: "What? ”
"The matter of the academy, the matter of Miss Qingqiu!"
Li Chonglou understood, that little junior sister was called Qingqiu.
"Of course, I don't believe who do you believe? Shouldn't I believe you, you really did bad things to your little sister, and then you were expelled? ”
Chu Zhongyuan's face was as gloomy as the eve of a storm, but he kept holding back, pursed his lips and said, "I'll go back to study." ”
Li Chonglou didn't understand the logic, made a grimace, saw Chu Zhongyuan leave, thought about it, and didn't follow.
She's going to buy it.
"Don't you have a quilt?" Li Chonglou searched around, and all the ready-to-wear shops were searched.
The shopkeeper told her: "You buy cotton and fabrics and make them yourself, who doesn't know how to make quilts, quilts have to buy ready-made, how much money do you have, save that money, it's better to buy new clothes to wear." ”
Li Chonglou looked down at his exposed toe shoes, and went to pick out two pairs of sturdy but not fancy.
The shopkeeper was surprised to see that she wanted two pairs.
At first glance, this girl didn't have much money, and she even bought two pairs of shoes, and the girls from poor families made their own shoes.
Sure enough, there is a reason to be poor, and it is too loser.
Li Chonglou's next operation opened her eyes, because she saw that the shoes were good, and asked for two more pairs.
"That's how you can change it!"
"I want three sets of clothes, not too fancy, easy to work."
"The futon surface should be four beds, and the quilt surface is slightly larger than the regular size."
There are a total of 40 pieces of shoes, 150 pieces of clothes, and more fabrics for the mattress and quilts, with 400 patterns.
Half a tael of silver is about the same, and the shopkeeper is afraid that she will not give money, so he does not dare to move the scissors.
Li Chonglou directly paid the broken silver.
Seeing that the shopkeeper was very surprised that a person like her could pay money, Li Chonglou felt a little cool, she seemed to understand what it was like for those old men in tattered clothes to buy Maserati.
She couldn't finish buying, so she went to the cotton store and got twelve catties of cotton.
I originally wanted to make an eight-pound quilt, but after thinking about it, summer is coming, and I'll talk about it in winter.
All of a sudden, she could barely fit anything on her back.
But there are still a lot of things I haven't bought, and in the end I picked ten catties of rice and five catties of oil, one catty of pork, and half a catty of salt.
It is worth mentioning that salt is really expensive, there are abundant reserves in seawater, and the sodium chloride stored in the mine is sold at the price of silver, which is really distressing.
Li Chonglou, who had prepared her things, went to the city gate, but she didn't see Chu Zhongyuan's figure, she stood under the city gate wall with a basket on her back, covering the sun with her hands and looking in the direction of the city......
When Chu Zhongyuan collected the banknotes and paid the money, the shopkeeper said earnestly: "It will be very troublesome not to go to the academy to study and register, you need someone to write a letter of recommendation for you, it is better to go to the mountain and generously ask to marry the Qingqiu girl, so that you will become the son-in-law of the mountain chief The exam will be smoother." ”
Chu Zhongyuan put the things in the back basket behind his back, said goodbye and left.
The shopkeeper looked at his back and shook his head: "Good son, how can you be a negative man, Miss Qingqiu may not forgive you." ”
Chu Zhongyuan naturally didn't hear what he said, and when he came out of the shop and looked at the sun in the sky, he was a little dazed.
In the past, he went straight back after buying it, but today I don't know why, I always feel that there is still something I haven't bought.
What is it?
"Childe, buy a hairpin for the lady, right? The master's craftsmanship is the same as that in the shop, but it is much cheaper. ”
