Chapter 9: The Fox Spirit.
"You little second is really good, others have been hungry for a few days, but you are reluctant to give even a bun. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Li Xiuyuan said.
Xiao Er said with a look of grievance: "The eldest young master, this is the fault of the small one, the shopkeeper has already given a lot of money a few days ago, but there are really a lot of people who have come these days, and the small shop can't afford to give it." ”
"Is there such a thing? Go, call the shopkeeper. Li Xiuyuan said.
Xiao Er answered and immediately went to call the shopkeeper, and after a while, a short and fat middle-aged man came out with a smile on his face.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the little one is inside and in the face, I don't know that the eldest young master is here, and I ask the eldest young master to forgive me." The shopkeeper's hands were stained with flour, and he said a little reservedly.
Li Xiuyuan asked: "I heard from your shopkeeper, there have been a lot of refugees in Guobei County in the past few days?"
"Yes, there are things, just in the past few days, there have been several batches, and today is quite rare. The shopkeeper hurriedly said.
"Is there a handout?"
"Yes, there is charity, the small shop has given out more than a dozen steamed buns and steamed buns these days, but you also know that the small shop is so big, so it can be given for a long time. The shopkeeper's face was bitter.
Li Xiuyuan muttered: "It seems that some place has suffered a disaster, otherwise you wouldn't have so many refugees." ”
Then he asked, "Who is renting this shop for you?"
"It's from the eldest young master's family. The shopkeeper was startled, and stammered a little, thinking that the eldest young master was going to take the shop back.
Li Xiuyuan pointed at him and said: "I'll exempt you from rent for three years, but you have to give away steamed buns and steamed buns for a month in this Guobei County, but you have to help anyone who is in distress, can you do it?"
"I can do it, I can do it, thank you young master. The shopkeeper suddenly said excitedly.
One month's alms are worth three years' rent, and anyone will say yes.
"Go get busy. Li Xiuyuan waved his hand.
As he waved the shopkeeper away, he looked at the refugee family again.
"Man, where did you flee from? ”
This emaciated man, after eating a bowl of soy milk with a grunt, wiped his mouth, and hurriedly stood up and replied: "Hui Engong, the little one came from the north, and it was only because the village was ransacked by the barbarians that he fled here in order to survive." ”
"I see. Li Xiuyuan listened a little thoughtfully.
After a while, he said: "It's not easy for you to go away to find a living, it's better to settle down in this Guobei County, go to the almshouse for a month first, and then someone will arrange a job for you, maybe it's harder, but there is no problem in life." ”
The almshouse was opened by his Li family, and it was a good deed to help the poor and the children who had no father or mother, as well as the people in distress.
However, in addition to the widows, widows, and young children, the other poor people who have hands and feet, and are free from illness and disaster, will only be provided with relief for one month, and after a month, they will be arranged to work in the Li family's workshop, and if they do not agree, they will be allowed to stay.
The purpose of this is not to raise a group of lazy people, idlers, and waste their own money.
"Thank you, I wrote it down. The emaciated man was busy.
Li Xiuyuan nodded, then got up and left.
However, this victim said that his village had been sacked by barbarians, and that there was another war in the north.
The thought of this made his heart sink.
Walking through the bustling streets, Li Xiuyuan soon came to a mansion.
But see this mansion majestic magnificent, the courtyard wall is a little high, two huge stone lions stand in front of the door, there are also the family members who take care of the house nearby, patrol left and right, the vermilion lacquered mahogany gate, a plaque made of gold silk nan wood is hung on it, there are two pure gold relief characters "Li Mansion" written on it, compared with more than ten years ago, the family business of Li Mansion is more and more prosperous.
There is already a wealthy atmosphere.
Although Li Mansion was also the richest man in Guobei County more than ten years ago, it was a little less magnificent and a little more petty, but now Li Mansion is not only the richest man in Guobei County, but also the first powerful man in Guobei County, and its power has shrouded the entire Guobei County, as well as nearby villages of all sizes.
"The eldest young master is back. ”
When Li Xiuyuan strode over, the guards of the Li family saluted respectfully one by one.
Li Xiuyuan nodded and walked into the mansion.
"I've seen the eldest young master. ”
"The eldest young master is fine. ”
“......”
Along the way, the maids and servants of the house stopped to salute as a sign of respect.
Perhaps after hearing the news of Li Xiuyuan's return, at the entrance of the lobby of the Li Mansion, a middle-aged man with a wide body and a fat body and wearing brocade and satin walked out of the lobby with a smile.
"Hehe, my Li family's Qilin'er has finally returned, and I haven't seen him on the 21st, and I miss my father very much. Li Dafu was full of smiles, and his eyes were full of doting on Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and then arched his hand and said: "The child has seen his father, and he came yesterday night to worry his father." ”
"I haven't seen my son for a while, but he is becoming more and more heroic, and he walks with a majestic atmosphere, very good, very good. Li Dafu looked at it and nodded with satisfaction.
After speaking, he suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, last time my father went out to bring you a good thing, I believe you will like it." ”
"What good things?" Li Xiuyuan asked curiously.
Li Dafu smiled and immediately waved his hand.
Immediately, a beautiful girl wearing green clothes, skin is better than snow, bumpy and convex, slightly bowed her head, with a little blush on her face and walked out from the side, this woman's temperament is fresh and refined, not like a mortal person, this time Yingying walked, there was a faint fragrance wafting, making people just feel full of enjoyment.
"Slave, Lu'e, I've seen the master, I've seen the eldest young master. Lu'e said respectfully and politely.
"This woman has worked so hard to find for her father, is it satisfying to send you to be a concubine?" Li Dafu said with a smile.
Hearing this, this beautiful girl named Lu'e, with a little shame, secretly looked at Li Xiuyuan, and saw that Li Xiuyuan was tall and handsome, and her beautiful eyes flashed, and she was a little moved, as if she had already been willing to become his concubine.
Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly, looking at this girl, but finally saw a big fluffy tail behind this beautiful girl's buttocks swaying slightly, which was particularly eye-catching, and when he saw this tail, his heart suddenly pounded.
Coquette~!
There is absolutely nothing wrong with it, this woman named Lu'e is a fox spirit, and I heard my master say that when the fox spirit can cultivate to the point that he can only see a tail, he has at least five hundred years of Taoism, if he cultivates to a thousand years, he can completely hide the demon body and incarnate into a human, that is, he was born with a seven-trick exquisite heart, and it is difficult to see through it if he does not open the eyes of heaven.
And the monsters who have practiced the Tao for five hundred years, even if they talk about it again, they are very powerful, you must know that many monsters are just conjuring into human bodies, and it is easy to reveal the prototype, but this cultivation is different, as long as they do not expose themselves, they will not be seen through the demon body at all, and they are no different from normal people.
"Where did you find this woman's father?" Li Xiuyuan was a little vigilant.
The fox spirit comes to the door, it is never a good thing, his master said, but if the goblin takes the initiative to pester people, he will ask for something.
Li Dafu coughed twice: "Passing by a village, I saw someone selling his body to bury his father, and he bought it for his father's kindness. ”
Li Xiuyuan immediately twitched the corners of his mouth: "Such a beautiful woman still needs to sell herself to bury her father?
"Hehe, this is good luck for my father, others can't envy her, this woman is very good-looking, so she is barely worthy of you, although her status is low, she can't be a wife, but it's still okay to be a concubine. Li Dafu said.
Li Xiuyuan smiled bitterly, it seems that his father has not discovered the problem until now.
Where is this a beauty, it's clearly a fox spirit, why do you want to buy it cheaply.
This world is a chatting world, and demons and monsters emerge in endlessly.
"Father, our Li family can't tolerate this woman, let her go. Li Xiuyuan said.
"What, let her go?" Li Dafu exclaimed: "This is something that my father finally found, and I am going to give it to you as a concubine, why don't you want it, but drive it away?"
He was reluctant to leave the house with such a beautiful woman, and in his opinion, it was best for this woman to be his son's concubine.
"Master, the slave doesn't know what he did wrong, and he asks the master not to drive the slave out of the house. Lu E suddenly showed a shocked face, and kneeled and pleaded with a crying voice.
Li Dafu comforted: "Don't worry, Master Ben will not drive you out of the house, as long as you serve my son loyally, even the silver lock of my Li family is indispensable for you." ”
"Thank you, thank you, master, the slave must serve the young master well, and I will never dare to have other ideas. Lu'e cried pear blossoms with rain, but said with great joy.
