Chapter 71 Are you teaching me?
Back at Taihe Garden, Wen Huang went to find Li Zhen.
He was in the study, laying paper and writing something, and Mu Jie was grinding the ink for him hard.
Wen Huang leaned over and glanced at him. He was writing an article, and he wrote a large piece in a dense manner. The characters were very powerful and very good.
"I write so seriously, I want to come back as the top scorer?" Wen Huang asked coldly.
Li Zhen ignored her, and Mu Jie grinned beside him, "Master, the young master is outstanding in literary talent and has unique insights. The old lady tutor especially likes the young master's articles! I can't say that next year, will the young master really be the top scorer in high school?"
"Ha!" Wen Huang sneered: "The top scorer is so easy to take the exam? Just his half-baked ones make those students who have studied hard for more than ten years think!"
Li Zhen looked up at her: "You have something to do?"
"I was called away by your stepmother for so long, aren't you worried about me?" Wen Huang asked slantedly with the article he wrote.
Li Zhen: "No."
Wen Huang: "Okay..."
Li Zhen: "Is there anything else?"
Wen Huang said: "Is something wrong! Your mother said that she would give Liu Xiaoniang's niece to you as a concubine."
Li Zhen's face turned dark and his eyes stared at her with a heavy look.
"Why are you looking at me like this? She wants to give it to you, not me wants to give it to you. I'm just passing on a message." Wen Huang looked innocent.
Li Zhen said coldly: "Go out" and then continued to write.
Wen Huang leaned over and asked, "Liu Xiaoniang is so beautiful! She is really a stunning woman! Her niece must not be bad either. Do you really want it?"
Li Zhen: "Get out."
Wen Huang touched his nose and said, "Then I'll let Yan Wei go back to her later, and I'll say you're focused on taking the exam and don't want to take the concubine and get the spirit."
This time she didn't ask her to get out.
"besides--"
"What else!" Li Zhen suddenly dropped his pen, and the ink splashed Mu Jie's face.
Mu Jie's ink grinding action suddenly stopped: "..."
Wen Huang glanced at Mu Jie, held back his smile and said, "Also, just now she said, let us pay five taels of silver each to get your third sister's birthday."
Li Zhen's expression was like an iron rooster: "Let's pay? Get her birthday?"
"It's not just that we pay, but that brothers and sisters pay together. It's said that the fifth uncle's mansion did it like that, which can enhance the relationship between brothers and sisters." Wen Huang said: "But... when I got married, my family gave me two thousand copper coins. I don't have five taels of silver, so you can help me pay it together, right?"
Due to years of war, the price of silver soared, and two thousand copper coins could be exchanged for one tael of silver.
Li Zhen said expressionlessly: "I asked Yan Wei to go back together, and I said I had no money and couldn't pay it!"
"How can that be done!" Wen Huang immediately objected: "Even his third sister is unwilling to pay for her birthday, what do they think of you?"
"I care what 'other' thinks! If you ask me to reply, you will go back!"
"After all, you are a sixth-rank official! How could you not even have ten taels of silver?" Wen Huang didn't believe it, "Are you unwilling to pay my five taels? Then I'll write you an IOU, and I'll pay you back in the future! Anyway, you must not save this money!"
Li Zhen was silent for a moment and asked, "Wen Huang, do you know what it means to pretend to be fat when you are swollen?"
"That's not what you said! Even in Sangyu Village, who has a wedding and wedding ceremony, no matter how poor the family is, you have to take the gifts? Otherwise, even if others don't say anything, you will not be able to live with your own face! What's more, you are now in such a person's identity and live in such a family. How can you continue to live like this in the future?"
Li Zhen: "Are you teaching me a lesson?"
