"In, in," Xiao Ermei smiled: "The owner is teaching the young master to read upstairs, you are a regular customer, don't worry, please talk upstairs." ”

"Okay, I know the way anyway, you can go and get busy." Li Dan waved his hand and asked Xiao Er to bring tea and snacks to Li Qin, and asked him to wait below, and he "pedaled" upstairs.

According to the example of the death of the first emperor, officials and nobles are not allowed to feast and drink during the 100 days of the national funeral, and prostitutes, silk and bamboo (music), and drinking are not allowed in the whole country within 30 days, and banquets and marriages of more than five people are prohibited.

Now it is approaching 100 days, but because of the case of Ying Tianfu, everyone knows that the emperor is mourning, and he would rather endure it for a few more days and dare not touch this mold.

Li Dan saw that there were no officials in the store, and even the people who came to eat and drink and meet friends were only half full, which was really light enough for a well-known restaurant in the county like Hongyanlou.

No wonder I heard that the Li Mansion held a family banquet, Xiao Er and the bookkeeper smiled on their faces, this should be regarded as a big business that fell from the sky, right?

He was familiar with the way, and when he went in to find the shopkeeper Gu, the other party agreed.

The two agreed on the details and time, and the shopkeeper Gu wanted to send Li Dan, but he waved his hand and declined, and he staggered out. Passing by a private room, he suddenly heard someone talking inside, which attracted Li Dan's attention.

I only heard a shriveled voice say: "Who is Chen Shi'an's reason not to hide from this kind of thing?" The second grandmother of the Li family is quite smart, and she immediately quit the marriage.

Otherwise, hehe, I'm afraid that the old man has already sued him to Lord Xuezheng at this time! ”

"However, I heard that this Li Wulang himself was extremely reluctant and had a big fight with his mother at home!" Another said.

"Yes, the youngest talent in this mansion confronted the widow for marriage, this sounds like ...... Tsk, it's not very good. ”

Another voice said, "I didn't expect him to do such a move at such a young age." ”

"Hmph, what do you do with him?"

He said in a dry voice: "If he is not like this, his classmates and pen pals will accuse him of being shameless, even if he has a meritorious reputation, the examiner of the township examination will say that this person's character is wrong, and he can be ruthless in one sentence."

It's better to make such a fuss now, at least people don't think of it as despicable virtue.

Alas, the late Master Li probably didn't expect the Chen family to have such a subversive thing.

In fact, if Li Gong thinks about it, he will know that the two portals are not right, and this family business will not end well! ”

"Oh? Ask Mr. Tie, how do you say this? ”

"You see, the Chen family is a dilapidated one, if he didn't marry a woman from the Wei family, then Chen Shi'an couldn't even afford pen, ink, paper and inkstone, how could he talk about Zhongjinshi?

Even if he was later hit, the master of the ministry saw that he was dumbfounded and had no money to give, so he ordered him to go to Lujiang to be a school official.

happened to meet Li Wencheng Gong (Li Mu), because of the marriage between the two families in the same township, Li Wencheng helped him go through the relationship and find a term of Huai'an Mansion Xuezheng, so that he had the opportunity to rise to Yingtian.

What kind of lintel is the Lee Mansion? The first emperor Lifang is a family of poetry and books, three generations of Jinshi and the first. Chen Shi'an married his daughter, which is considered a high climb!

That's why I said that the two families actually have the wrong door, and Li Wencheng is really not good at understanding people! ”

This person was like a river inside, but he had already provoked Xiao Yuanba to be furious outside. I thought that this guy was talking about my dead father behind his back, so unreasonable!

was about to push the door in to theorize, when he suddenly saw Xiao Er holding a tray to serve food, so he beckoned him over and asked softly, "Who is inside?" I heard a man surnamed Tie, and it seemed to have a familiar voice. ”

Xiao Er replied with a smile: "San Lang doesn't remember?" The iron teaching of the county school! He is the only family surnamed Tie in our county. ”

"Oh! I remembered that when I was a child, my husband in the family school, I just flipped his desk and dropped out! Li Dan remembered that a sharp-faced goatee image appeared in front of him.

He motioned for Xiao Er to bring the food in and not mention that he was outside, but stood in the corridor and continued to listen to whether they had any afterthoughts.

The three people inside waited for Xiao Er to go out, and let them drink back. The shriveled voice of the Iron Sect sounded again.

"Alas! Chen Shi'an never expected that the prefect of Li Wencheng would have a significant political reputation, and he was about to be transferred to Beijing to be Jing Zhaocheng, but who knew that Huang Shui would flood and lose his life.

Are there any eggs under the nest? The big temple of the Chen family collapsed as soon as it was completed, but it was extremely sad! ”

"What does Mr. Tie mean, is it that Chen Shi'an's luck is not good, or is he careless in making friends?"

"What do you say? The old man didn't say anything, hahaha! ”

Li Dan was already so angry that he gritted his teeth at this time, and scolded in his heart: "This old horseman, does he really not know whether he lives or dies? ”

Thinking about the good news of the eldest brother today, it is not appropriate to cause trouble, and the whole family is waiting for him to go back to organize the night banquet, so I have to endure it again and again.

"Let's go, let's go of this guy today, I'll let him go, and then settle the account!"

Just thinking like this, I listened to the iron oracle to confess to the two of them and said that they wanted to be relieved.

Li Dan hurriedly kicked to the sides, rubbed twice on the beam, and saw the teachings humming a little song and staggering past his crotch, turning and going to the toilet.

Li Dan came down from above, tiptoed behind him, and thought, "Although this edict is not in the stream, it can be regarded as a clerk in size."

It would be bad if I hurt him, but it was obviously okay to teach him a lesson! Thinking of this, he turned around and recognized the retreat path, so he stepped on the outer wall of the latrine and waited.

This iron edict is good for drinking and chatting with friends, and after it is convenient, he looks back and is walking back.

Li Dan heard footsteps coming close in the corner of the wall, and suddenly flashed out.

When the iron sect saw the shadow of the Dao flashing, he opened his mouth to shout.

Before the word "who" came out, Li Dan's old fist had arrived, and he sealed his eyes for the first time, and a blacksmith shop was opened in the head of the iron sect, clanging and clanging, and Venus burst out in front of him; The second blow came, but it hit him in the jaw, and immediately blood came out of his mouth, and a certain tooth was swallowed into his stomach.

The Iron Sect fell backwards, hitting his head on the ground with a loud "bang".

When he understood and wailed, and when someone heard it and ran to check, the beater had already disappeared, and the entire Hongyan Tower was suddenly in chaos.

At this time, the Li brothers had already come to the street, Li Qin looked back and pulled his brother's sleeve: "Third brother, there seems to be something wrong in their restaurant." ”

"It's nothing, it's common for drunk men to shout in restaurants." Li Dan coped with it easily, Li Qin believed it honestly, and staggered home after him.

Although Hongyan Tower was in chaos for a long time, the family still sent cooks and helpers to the scene at the appointed time.

Li Dan also sent Da Niu over to help and assigned him to cook three dishes: sour and hot shredded sweet potatoes, bacon mushrooms (茭) white and sauce roasted Luosu (eggplant). This is the craft that Li Dan taught Da Niu.

But the important thing is not to cook a few dishes, but to let him take the opportunity to bring some food back to his aunt and the little girls, otherwise no one will think of them.

was very busy, and suddenly heard someone say that Zhou Dutou came to congratulate him and asked San Lang if he was there? Li Pu sent someone to find him.

Li Dan has a ghost in his own house, and he gets a little hairy when he hears it. What should I do if I don't want to hide from the first and fifteenth days of junior high school? I had to come out to meet with a smile.

After the polite words, Zhou Dutou pulled him aside and asked, "Did San Lang go to Hongyan Tower today?" ”

"Huh? That's right, I'm going to call the cook! ”

"Something happened to Hongyanlou today, the iron sect of the county school invited people to eat and drink, and was beaten when he came out to be convenient."

"Yo, such a thing?" Li Dan pretended to be surprised: "Oh, that old thing doesn't keep the door on his mouth all day long, the east family and the west family are talking nonsense for a short time, and it is only a matter of time before he is beaten!" ”

Zhou Dutou stared at him a few times: "These two punches are very ruthless, which not only makes him unable to see the culprit clearly, but also can't shout for a while, causing the perpetrator to slip away quite sparingly." ”

"Oh, that's, that's this guy's bad luck, who told him to talk about the length of his dead father behind his back, and let people hear it!" Li Dan replied with a smile.

"Alas!" Zhou Dutou sighed and put his hand on Li Dan's shoulder: "San Lang, I know that you have good martial arts and great strength, but if you only use these things for a moment and the courage of a lifetime, at most you are just a vulgar martial artist."

King Xiang is powerful, Lu Bu is brave, so what? If you really have the ability, then let yourself be able to help more people, instead of three or five beggars and seven or eight homeless people.

Anyone can do this kind of thing, and everyone can do it, isn't it interesting? ”

"Old Zhou, you think highly of me." Li Dan took a step back and left his hand and sneered: "Li Sanlang is just an ordinary person, I don't have the ability to save the common people."

If you want to say that I can help and take care of the number of three, five, seven or eight, no matter how much I have to be sorry, it will be embarrassing and useful! ”

"Humph! You kid have a hard mouth! Zhou Du turned his head unhappily and took two steps, then stopped and turned back and said, "Sooner or later, you will understand that what I said is good for you." It's true!

You remember, a puppet can't stop a thousand armies, but a thousand armies can defeat ten thousand!

Whether you are a horseman or a general who leads a thousand armies, the road is under your feet, you choose. If you don't choose, Heaven will choose for you!

Don't do stupid things like today, it won't increase your talents, and it won't help your reputation. ”

"I can understand the talent, but what do I want to do with such a vain thing as reputation?" Li Dan asked loudly.

"With a good reputation, people know that you have friends in this world, that you have learned the rules of the world and can use them well.

It shows that you are worthy of being approached and respected, and that even strangers can trust and follow you! ”

Zhou Dutou replied: "I used to be like you and didn't care about the rules of this world. It was my general who taught me to do my duty in battle, to help my comrades, and to take care of their life and death.

Someday you'll understand, Li Sanlang! You can be better than me, far more than just a little official like Dutou. If you have such a gift, why waste it on useless things?

It's like spending all your energy and time on an empty talking villain today, what's the point? Think about it! ”

Li Dan looked at Zhou Du's broad back and didn't speak, until Song Xiaoniu pulled his sleeve, he came to his senses,

muttered and cursed in his mouth: "It's a disappointment, it's hard to be refreshed, so that he said it as if I was wrong." It's boring! ”

After beating Li Dan, Zhou Dutou went to the front hall to greet Li Yan, the third old man who was grinning, and said some compliments. Then he was dragged to avoid people's eyes and ears and whispered about the beating of the Iron Sect.

Li Yan was stunned when he heard this, and stomped his feet fiercely and said, "This trouble-making monkey really doesn't stop for a day!" He was so young that I had someone tie him up and beat him severely! ”

"No, no." Zhou Dutou hurriedly grabbed him: "The reason why I said this in your third master's ear is that I don't want people to know."

If you tie it up and beat it, won't the whole house see it?

I have already reprimanded him for half a while outside, but fortunately, the iron sect has swollen eyes and crooked nose and has not figured out who is moving, so we can reprimand him in private.

If you want to spread it, the edict is also a county official, brother, do I catch the main culprit? Don't give me such a question! ”

Li Yan knew it in his heart, and now it was the happy day of his eldest son Li Shu, so he had to accompany him a lot to thank him, and held back his anger and didn't mention it for the time being.

When the guests retreat, go back to their own house in the back. Shu Shi greeted him with a smile on his face, and arranged for the maids to help him wash and make the bed to rest.

But she heard her husband sigh and hurriedly asked, "Is your husband tired, or is there something on your mind?" I see that you are hesitant when you enter the door, is there something wrong with the banquet ahead? ”

"Definitely." Li Yan shook his head: "There is nothing wrong with the banquet. It's just that....... He hesitated for a moment, but still told Li Dan about the angry beating of the Iron Sect.

"Huh?" Shu Shi was startled when he heard this: "He, he beat the old master?" Can the injury be severe? ”

Li Yan waved his hand, first signaled that Shu's maids had gone out, and then softly told her that Zhou Dutou had suppressed the matter, and the iron sect did not know who the beater was.

"Eh, I'm scared to death!" Shu patted his chest: "If this is a good day for Da Lang, how can he get it?"

This San Lang is too, people drink too much, what do you care about his nosy? ”

"You don't know this kid yet? He's just a monkey, how can he care so much about his temperament? Li Yan sneered.

"It's a shame that his aunt is a sensible person." Speaking of this, Shu Shi took out a few things from under the pillow: "Look, this is a congratulatory gift from the little Qian family today, a good thing!" ”

Li Yan turned over and picked it up, and looked at it: "Money? Is it pure gold? ”

"Ahem, how can this thing be pure gold?"

Li Yan threw his hand away when he heard this: "What's so rare about gold-filled things?" ”

"Stupid! What an uninformed! Shu Shi was angry and slapped him on the shoulder, telling him that this was an antique from the previous dynasty.

"It's rare on the market nowadays, and this one can be sold for a tael of gold in an antique shop!"

"What? Is this thing worth gold? Li Yan picked up one again and weighed it: "It's quite heavy, right?" ”
