Chapter 63 Sweet bait

But Li You saw the guests at the door, and Sister Li Mei suddenly slapped her chest, "Look at my memory, I almost forgot something." As she said that, she took out a thin booklet with few pages and handed it over.

Li You took the opportunity to pinch Mei Jie'er's soft and slippery little hand before taking the book. He looked at it in the light of the lantern, and the cover was printed with a few big words "Tanhua Ji"...

Sister Li Mei approached Li You's ear and whispered: "Brother Li, this is what I know that the bookstore is printing this, so I specially asked for a book to bring it over. Seeing that I care about you so much, you are a master and still care about how many taels of money you have with my old lover. It's really sad."

Li You's ears were irritated by the breath in her mouth. He took a few steps back and said fiercely: "I can give you a box of this book! It is agreed that fifteen taels a month, and no longer can be changed. I will collect it when I have time, and I am not allowed to use my body to discount the debt!" He looked up at the sedan chair not far from the roadside, and said: "Go back early, it's better not to wander around the woman's house after dark."

"Sir, are you worried about me?" Sister Li Mei chuckled and posted it over and said, "Actually, I know that I don't like what Huan'er wrote, but in order to take care of my family's livelihood, I promised to give a name to guide my female apprentice. Mr. is a good person."

Hahaha, Li You feels unhappy. To be honest, he is obviously greedy for the fifteen taels of silver a month. Don’t think that fifteen taels of silver a month is a decimal. Generally, the laborers working in the city only earn twenty taels a year. How much is Li Dianshi’s salary? One stone of rice and two taels of silver a month. As for the name, he only uses the name of guiding his female apprentice, and he will be laughed at if he is laughed at.

As a result, even Li Meijie, who knows Li You quite well, didn't believe that Li You really liked the money and got a good person card for nothing. Sometimes the name of this scholar is still useful, Li You thought.

When Sister Li Mei said this, she wanted to speak but stopped, and it was obvious that she was difficult to speak.

As soon as Sister Mei entered the house, Li You realized that there might be something difficult for her. However, if Sister Li Mei didn't say it, Li You just pretended to be confused. Now seeing her hesitating repeatedly, she knew that Sister Li must have encountered something really trouble, and she was afraid that she would not be in a good relationship and she had not seen each other for more than half a month.

For the sake of several love affairs, it is not difficult to do anything and not offend the big guy. "If you have anything, just say it, there is no one here." Li You asked.

Sister Li Mei frowned slightly and said, "Oh, the gentleman may not be able to help with this matter. I feel wronged, so I complained about my grievances. Recently, I bought a new house and moved in Fuxin Lane, Jiadifang..."

Li You thought to himself that after Mei Jie'er became a good friend, she continued to live in the place where the original brothels and Chu Pavilions gathered, which was indeed inconvenient. This new residence is not too far from Ershui Lane of her father-in-law's house, and the land price should not be too cheap.

I heard from Li Meijie again: "The house and the house next door were originally a family of brothers. A few days ago, the brother moved to another place and sold the two houses together. I bought one, but someone else bought it next door. But the owner next door did not come to live, and only sent a door to guard the house. When the door saw me, he bullied me no one in my house, so he teased me repeatedly and often called me in the middle of the night. I was really helpless and scared."

Li You interrupted and asked, "With your friendship with Sister Mei, you won't be able to deal with a little evil slave?"

"Sir, I have praised me. If I don't do this business, I will have any real friendship. The family claims to be from Inspection Commissioner Liu, who would be willing to provoke him for the current I have? If this continues, I have to move away again." Sister Li Mei said aggrievedly.

Inspection Officer Liu? Inspection Officer Liu! When Li You heard these three words, he was very excited. This matter actually had something to do with his cheap father-in-law. The slaves of the Liu family teased Sister Li Mei. Why did his father-in-law buy a house here?

As Li You knows, it is common for wealthy families to buy real estate, but most of them are in three situations. One is to build other industries in places with good scenery for leisure; the other is to buy shops in downtowns to rent them for profit; the third is to buy real estate in neighboring houses, and after opening up, expand your own courtyard.

The house his cheap father-in-law bought in Fuxin Lane is not similar in comparison to the three situations. Even if the father-in-law is slutty and keeps a small person outside, there is no need to be so close to him. It is two alleys separated from the family. Li You had some speculation about this.

"Such a bad slave is really damn!" Li You said indignantly, and then asked again: "By the way, your two houses were originally from two brothers, so they should be similar. What is their pattern?"

Sister Li Mei, who was in a tangle and bitter relationship, was stunned when she heard this. Brother Li, you don’t ask about right and wrong, and even if you can’t help, you don’t comfort me. You actually asked about the house first? What is this cloud-like idea? But she still answered: "I have two rooms and two rooms. The next door is bigger than my family, and it’s a three-room two-entry pattern. I thought that it was too big and didn’t buy it."

Li You frowned and thought bitterly, saying, "I will definitely ask about this matter. Sister Mei, please go back, don't show up in the next two days. If you women show up in business, it will inevitably cause trouble. Please pay more attention."

Sister Li Mei didn't know the relationship between Li You and Inspection Commissioner Liu, but just said that Li You wanted to come forward to help, and she was really moved by thanks.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day Li You instructed Zhang San and Li Si to go to Fuxin Lane to inquire. He had to confirm the situation here.

In the afternoon, Zhang San reported back and forth: "The young man who pretended to be a slave, went to the house he said to ask. After flattering, he heard from the door that the house was not living in this house now and would be given to the master's son-in-law in the future, and there is no need to be a buyer's slave for the time being."

Sure enough! Li You guessed correctly. These three two-entry houses were bought as dowry by Lord Liu for his future son-in-law. However, the betrothal gift has been given, and according to the rules, the word "son-in-law" can be changed to the present and progressive time.

Such a pattern is nothing to the wealthy family, but it is really luxurious to Li You now. If you think Li You will be happy in the face of such a big gift, you would be very wrong!

It's such a sweet bait. Li You, who already knows his father-in-law very well, sighed. Old Man Liu will never stop playing tricks on his mind until he dies, and he doesn't know if he is tired or not.

If nothing unexpected happens, even if the courtyard has gardens, warehouses, river ports and other facilities, and if the courtyard where his future owner and wife and concubine live, there are probably two side yards for the slaves and maids. There is no problem with the placement of more than ten servants or even more, but where can so many people be sent in the Li family?

The problem arises. If the Liu family seems to be kind enough to send the servants and the house as dowry, Li You will live in directly, which seems to be worry-free. But aren’t the slaves and maids in this family all belonging to the Liu family? What’s more, the Liu family is just outside the two alleys, and there is a little disturbance. Inspection Liu can easily control the place remotely. In the end, how much can Li You, the nominal head of the family, be?

Thinking of this, Li You sneered in his heart. It is always right to be wary of the inspector Liu. I don’t know if others can accept this situation. Anyway, Li You absolutely cannot accept that his family is manipulated by outsiders. Even if Mr. Liu is deeply in love with his daughter, it will not be possible.
