Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Maiden

"Master?" Li Laosan was shocked, he really hadn't heard of this, it seemed that he had come to the right place!

"Isn't it a master? I heard that he went to the prefect's yamen to be a master, and in the future, he will be a master! How dare we ordinary people compare with others!" said the shopkeeper with envy.

Li Laosan asked in a low voice: "I don't know who this master is and where he lives!"

The shopkeeper's eyes stood up, and he looked at Li Laosan's eyes a little strangely, and began to suspect that this person's purpose in inquiring about Li Fuzi was not someone else's intentions! If he caused trouble for Li Fuzi, then he was afraid that his family would not have a good time in the future! Did he say the wrong thing?

Li Laosan is also a human spirit, and when he saw the appearance of the shopkeeper, he knew that he had misunderstood, so he quickly explained: "I also have a brother in my family, who is also a showman, and he is a classmate of this Li Fuzi! But he has no livelihood so far, and it is not good to let him stay at home. ”

Li Laosan pointed to his daughter-in-law and daughter, "You see that I don't look like a bad person! I want to buy some things and give people some gifts! We can also save a little more for our brothers!"

Li Laosan saw that the other party saw his daughter-in-law and children, his expression was restored, but he didn't mean to continue, he hurriedly made an expression of bitterness and hatred, and then thought of his life over the years, not only his expression, but his whole body was immersed in a kind of pain, and he said with some true feelings:

"You don't know how much money this family can spend for a show, this is not a family that makes him empty, and if you don't think about it, the family can't live anymore, but what!"

The shopkeeper has lived on the edge of the academy all his life, and he has seen a lot of such things, and he also understands the difficulties of a farmer who wants to raise a talented master.

The shopkeeper found that he still had some impressions, as if there was such a student who was later admitted to Xiucai, and finally didn't know where he went!

Li Laosan looked at the shopkeeper nervously, the shopkeeper saw that he cooperated with him to ask and answer, and knew that this was an honest man, and it should be that the family really couldn't get by, so he came to his place to inquire about the way, and he felt a little compassionate.

A little embarrassed to say: "Li Fuzi's name is a Bo character, and his family lives in Fengshou Hutong not far away, and the second family in it is, in addition to him, his wife, and his daughter are his father-in-law's family in the bookstore next door!"

Li Laosan nodded and smiled, "Whether their house is their own or rented, I have inquired all about it, so that I can know what people lack, or this gift can't be given blindly, right?"

The shopkeeper didn't suspect anything this time, and replied happily: "Of course I bought it from my own family, even the next door was bought by their family, and there is no shortage of silver, but these days, who still dislikes silver and bites too much?"

Li Laosan nodded and was taught, but he wrote it down in his heart, and bought a house and a shop in the town! Seeing that Hui Niang and the others had almost chosen, they planned to leave as soon as they said hello.

Hui Niang and the others had already heard their conversation, and they also settled the accounts with the woman, and walked out with their things.

At this time, the shopkeeper hurriedly caught up with Li Laosan, and whispered with a look of annoyance: "Brother, you look at my memory, I forgot to tell you, if you want to find Master Li, you can't go at this time, I heard that he left a few days ago, not in the town, you come one step late!"

Li Laosan was really surprised this time, didn't the boss of his family really go to do something, did the master go? Then where did he go to find him? Besides, he just came back, so he had to go home!

"Do you know where he went?" asked Hui Niang in a low voice.

The shopkeeper was not hypocritical, and nodded: "I heard that I went back to my hometown to worship my ancestors, don't you want to be a master for others?"

Li Laosan nodded with a stiff face, the shopkeeper only thought that he knew that the door was blocked, he was not happy, and he didn't think much about it, he gently patted his shoulder, sighed heavily, and turned back to his small shop!

Erya frowned, and saw that the shopkeeper had left, so he climbed up to the ox cart and whispered: "This shop is also cunning, if we didn't really spend money to buy his family's things, I'm afraid that we won't tell us the news of our uncle's absence in the end, and then we will find the door, only to know that the person is not there, and run in vain!"

Li Muyao nodded: "A fool can open a shop here for so many years, and he will not be starved to death by buying cloth by the academy, this is also a capable person!"

Hui Niang looked at Li Laosan: "What are you going to do?"

Li Laosan looked at the sky, "Let's go now, go home, you should be able to rush to Yong'an Town before dark, come out in Yong'an Town after dawn, then you can get home before dark tomorrow!"

Erya was pleasantly surprised, was she so close to home? How many years had passed, she had never known how far she was from home, and for the first time she knew that she was only two days away from her parents!

Although Li Laosan said to go home, he still observed all the places that could go inside and outside Li Laosan's bookstore according to the original plan, and he said that this is called stepping on the point, so that it is convenient to evaluate the price when he takes it back in the future!

Then he went to Boss Li's house again, the same routine is like a neighbor asking about the situation of Boss Li's family, this time he didn't say that he wanted to give gifts to open the door, but said that he wanted to settle down and buy a house!

The neighbor said the same as the owner of the cloth shop, but there was one more: this old Li and his family also bought a mother-in-law who was a miscellaneous worker, and a little girl who served people! Now that their family is gone, they should have returned to their hometown, but the mother-in-law and the little girl were left behind.

The neighbor was an enthusiastic old lady, who introduced the situation in the neighborhood and said which family wanted to buy a house, Li Laosan shook his head one by one and said that it was not suitable!

The old lady was not angry, and politely invited a few people into the house to rest, but Li Laosan refused on the grounds that he was in a hurry to find a house.

When he got out of the alley where Boss Li lived, Li Laosan said to Hui Niang: "Why don't we buy two little girls too?"

Hui Niang glanced at him, and said sarcastically: "Look at your eldest brother can use the little maid, you are jealous! Why can't the three of us serve you enough? I'm afraid that no one will be meticulous about the little maid?"

Li Laosan hurriedly shook his head, and said with a flattering smile on his face while urging Lao Niu to leave quickly: "Look where you have gone! Aren't I afraid that after you go home, my mother will let you work? Erya, even if she works, she is also a regular worker, and no work will be difficult for her, and besides, she will only go home, and my mother can't instruct her! But what about you and Mu Yao?"

Not to mention Mu Yao's young age, she is clumsy and really working, she is not afraid of being tired, but she is afraid that she will not be able to do well, so that her mother-in-law will not be able to look down on her! Don't be tired when the time comes, Mu Yao will not invite Lao Li's family to see her, then the gain will outweigh the loss!
