Chapter 077: Fairy Dream
Coming out of the study, Li Kui hid outside the door and breathed a long sigh of relief.
He was really afraid that Zhou Yuan's eyes would be glaring at that time, and let him go back, which would be terrible.
To say that most of his apprentices were a little opportunistic in the past, but now, even if he loses Zhou Yuan's way, there is another way, relatives. Even the eunuch route can be walked, of course, not because he entered the palace as a father-in-law, but through the Liu family, he got through the relationship with the palace.
This is also why Li Kui was willing to risk the possibility of being disgusted by Zhou Yuan to help Liu Baosheng attack Niubei Mountain. Asking for money is just an excuse, what is in the pocket of the thief, can you still ask for it back? It can only be a real knife and a real gun, either life or death.
There are so many ways to go, but to choose the most difficult road for the imperial examination, for Li Kui, it is more about changing the class and changing the identity.
It's about challenging yourself.
He wanted to try to see if he could make some achievements on the road to the imperial examination if he relied on his own efforts.
Fortunately, Zhou Yuan didn't say anything, which made him happy.
Otherwise, Liu Baosheng would have one more dog-headed military advisor by his side.
In fact, there is only one reason why Zhou Yuan didn't lose his temper, Li Kui told him the truth. Judging from the content of the official document, Li Kui did not lie to him. Honesty may not be important to a scholar, in the officialdom for more than ten years, Zhou Yuan knows that if a scholar is bad, no one in the world can compare. But anyone needs to have a bottom line, especially a reader. If Li Kui lied to his teacher repeatedly, Zhou Yuan probably wouldn't be angry. At least he won't be angry in front of Li Kui, and he still has this kind of restraint. But I'm afraid there is only one result, let Li Kui go back, and don't have to come again.
Grunting, Li Kui rubbed his hungry stomach, and walked towards the back kitchen with his feet as if he knew the way. There are two kitchens in the county office, one is for the clerks of the priest, and the kitchen for the three classes of officials to prepare lunch, providing two kinds of food, the food of the officials, or the food of the servants, the former will be much better, at least there are dishes. The other is the kitchen of the back office, a place dedicated to cooking for the master.
Push open the kitchen door.
Hey, Fat Chun, who never leaves the kitchen, is not there?
Seeing the big pot of millet rice on the table, as well as pickle gnocchi, Li Kui was stunned. Could it be that the teacher is already poor to this field? Can't even eat the vegetables prepared daily in winter, radish and wead?
But what is the smell of meat in the air?
After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, the appearance of button meat appeared in my mind, and yes, the air was filled with the fragrance of button meat.
Li Kui went straight to the steamer, and at this time a person appeared at the door, blocking the light at the door, and after blocking the light at the door, the room was much darker, Li Kui glanced back, but the smile froze on his face. I saw Xu Chunli holding a rolling pin, her face was as gloomy as iron, she pulled a door with one hand, and after pulling it with both hands, she blocked the door with her back. In this situation, it is easy for him to think crookedly.
What are you going to do!
I'm still a kid!
This thought suddenly popped up in Li Kui's mind, and there was an inexplicable sense of shame.
"Fat Spring!"
Li Kui, who was taken aback, opened his mouth and said that he was pouting. Fat Chun is the name that many servants in the yamen call Xu Chunli behind their backs, and they don't dare to shout anything in front of them. Even if it is a county officer, a secretary office, and the little officials in the yamen will shout with a smile when they see Xu Chunli: "Miss Xu!" β
Although this person is judging from his personality, he can't find any traces of the girl's family at all.
Fat Spring! Xu Chunli raised her eyebrows, and her heart was even more angry, and she said in her heart: Black charcoal head, she has an honest face...... Ah, phew, where can Li Kui see the honest appearance. This product is just dressed casually and looks poor. Of course, poverty is not a disease, it is a long-lasting and stable state of life, and the easiest place to reflect a person's poverty is the canteen.
Someone eats like thunder.
There are also people who eat like singing.
Some people eat like a flood and it is out of control.
β¦β¦
If a poor person doesn't even have the heart to grab food, then he is not only poor, but sick.
Li Kui is, of course, the first, long-lasting and stable state of life. At the same time, he also thinks that it is thrifty. As for the movement of eating, there is no way, who made him a martial arts practitioner? The weak scholar can be full after eating a bowl of rice, but what about him? If you can eat one pot of rice, you will be able to eat three or five bowls of rice. As far as the amount of food he eats, the whole family of the Great Song Dynasty is waiting for others, and it is appropriate for him to eat bankrupt in a year with his way of eating. What's more, there is a clan brother Li Quan who can eat more than him by his side.
Although Xu Chunli said that she was a woman, she had the heart of a man, so she waved the rolling pin in her hand, as if driving away the annoying flies in front of her, and said impatiently: "Forget it, Fat Chun is Fat Chun, anyway, I don't know how to bury people behind your back." Just say it, I won't lose a piece of meat anyway. β
"Sister Chunli, I didn't bury you." Li Kui immediately made his position clear, as firm as a flagpole.
Xu Chunli sneered: "I don't know if you have arranged it, and I don't want to know." Let me ask you, my sister was not thin on you in the past, right? But why did you hurt me like this? β
Hurt you?
Li Kui's face was confused, when did he hurt someone? Besides, he and Fat Chun don't even meet very often on weekdays, and there is no injustice in the past and no hatred in the near future, why should he harm others?
Li Kui, who felt wronged, shouted: "Sister, wronged! β
"Are you wronged? Think about it, there is no one. I don't understand, not only do you have no meat to eat today, but when you come to eat in the future, you will have rice and pickles, and you don't like to eat it. Xu Chunli threatened that she could only go so far. competed in force, and she also knew that she was not Li Kui's opponent at all. However, in order to show the seriousness of the problem, she added: "My lord asked you to come to eat and live for nothing, but I didn't think about it, you can eat more than a pig, and you have eaten the old man poor for no reason." Believe it or not, in your meal, the old lady will drug you! β
Ay.
Li Kui felt very wronged, he memorized books all morning, and his brain was almost wooden, where is the spirituality on weekdays? Looking at Fat Chun's unforgivable appearance, he also felt that Fat Chun's bold personality would not be difficult to get along with him for no reason. Suddenly he thought of Xu Bo, it wouldn't be ...... Li Kui stared at Fat Chun for a while, then laughed out loud, and said in his heart: "You also have today!" β
"Laughing at what?" Xu Chunli was embarrassed by Li Kui's seeing, she couldn't hide, she didn't hide, and she fell into a strange annoyance. It's very inconsistent with her former demeanor.
Li Kui smiled like a fox, and a treacherous look floated in his eyes: "Sister, you were forced to marry by Uncle Xu, right?" β
"Don't talk nonsense." Xu Chunli hurriedly stopped, and finally looked up at the beam of the house for a while, and sighed secretly: "The old lady has a bad year, what can I do if I meet an unreliable father?" Then he stared at Li Kui viciously and asked, "Are you fanning the flames behind your back?" Otherwise, how could he say all the good things about your eldest brother? β
"Is my eldest brother bad?" Although Li Kui looks down on his brother in every way, if outsiders say it, it will always make him unhappy.
Xu Chunli's momentum weakened, and she complained: "It's a person of a day, but it's too wretched, and the old lady can beat three with one hand." Anyway, I'll tell you that this heart is dead, and I won't be your sister-in-law if I say anything. β
Li Kui was curious, there was no entertainment all day, and he was quite bored, so he stretched his neck and said curiously: "If my sister doesn't like it, just say it!" Won't I let my brother die? But my brother wants to know, what kind of sister is willing to marry? β
"You kid, look at the naΓ―ve and have a bad heart." Xu Chunli is in her early twenties, and naturally she is indispensable for longing, and her eyes are stupid: "My crush is a hero of the world, and one day he will step on the seven-colored clouds to marry me......"
Li Kui is stupid, this line is so familiar, isn't it the one that Fairy Zixia said?
It turned out that he wanted to be a fairy.
Fat Chun, wake up, you have the body of a sand monk, although the lines on your face are soft, and under a closer look, you are still a little pretty, but it is not the appearance of a fox spirit and a rabbit spirit that charms all beings. What's more, what hero's arm can be long enough to rub your bucket waist?
