Wang Fugui lamented, "As the saying goes, too much money is irritating, but having money may not be a good thing."
Zhou Bi put down the tea cup and said, "It's true. If you have money, you must have a life. The case of He Xiucai is the best example."
Thinking about it this way, I feel that Li Yan is still a little girl after all.
Some things are not her fault, but she still doesn't think carefully enough.
Wang Fugui thought to himself that it's not because you are poor.
Wang Fugui would rather sleep on the banknotes every night, even if he was beaten to death by the money, he would still be willing to die.
It's not like him, who hid all day long just for the sake of his two private dollars, but couldn't find a good place. He was so anxious that his hair almost fell out.
But some people get money so easily, don't you think it's irritating?
Zhou Bi took a few sips of tea and squinted his eyes on the armchair.
Wang Fugui squeezed it gently and then firmly.
Not to mention, Wang Fugui’s gesture was pretty good.
Wang Fugui let go and remembered something. While Zhou Bi was still asleep, he had to remind him, "Brother-in-law, you said that Fuyun Dao Changkong has a false reputation and no one knows about it, but why do you still agree to the distinguished guest to express his merit for him?"
?If something happens, won't you bring trouble to yourself?"
Zhou Bi replied in a daze, "What can happen? There is a warrant from Magistrate Liu, there is a letter, and the old man in Xingning County has been cheated. We are just following the instructions from above. Whether it is true or false, it is up to them."
Just go ahead and take the trouble. It’s these people who will take the blame first.”
The old man Zhou Bi mentioned in Xingning County was referring to Lu Zhixian in Xingning County.
The old man has always been cautious in officialdom and has a tight mouth.
Normally, officialdom communication is just a wooden peg, but he was on the hook and nothing could happen.
"Even if something really happened, it was Magistrate Lu who took the initiative first. He handed over the information first. Taoist Master Fuyun is also in Xingning County. Your Excellency, I am an accomplice at most."
At the end of next week, I just hope that after Li Yan has collected the money, he can stay peacefully in Yaoxiangtang and stop causing trouble for him, and he will be like Amitabha.
As for the rest, it's not his turn to worry about.
In a daze, Zhou Bi's eyelids twitched.
When he took a nap, he dreamed that Li Yan went out to cause trouble for him again.
Not to mention that County Magistrate Zhou’s intuition about the dream was quite accurate.
After leaving the Yamen, Li Yamen took Kumquat to Sanping Lane. The Zhou Mansion was at the entrance of Sanping Lane.
The concierge saw her from a distance, his eyes sparkled, and he ran over, "Miss Li, you are here. Please come to the room quickly."
Her attitude was both respectful and eager. It was infinitely better than when Li Yan came to visit her for the first time.
The master and servant looked at each other and smiled.
Everyone is seeking profit, let alone a small concierge.
In the past, the old lady valued her, and in the later, she performed a great job in praying for rain. Naturally, everyone in the Zhou family regarded the little girl as a sweet steamed bun.
The old lady lived in the Fulu Hall in the backyard. The concierge took her to the Chuihua Gate and went back to duty.
After Li Yan prayed for rain, the old lady's heart dropped and she took a nap in the room.
I had just woken up, and when I heard the little maid said that Li Yan was here, she hurriedly got off the bed, gathered the maids in the room, and quickly served tea and cakes.
The pear wood table was filled with food, all of which Li Yan liked.
Li Yan stepped forward and helped the old lady sit down. Looking at the food, she said with half annoyance, "Old lady, Yan'er is not an outsider, so there is no need to be so polite."
"But Yan'er came by chance and disturbed the old lady's peace."
The old lady looked at the little girl and smiled like a chrysanthemum. "You have such a small mouth. You talk nonsense. I wish you would come here every day to disturb my peace."
After speaking, the old lady held her hand, looked at her for a while, and said distressedly, "It's been hard for you these past few days. I have been running around with the county, look at how thin this little face is, it's really hard.
We are a beautiful girl."
"Fortunately, it's not too hard."
Li Yan blinked and smiled, "How can Yan'er's hard work be compared to that of the county magistrate? He is responsible for everything inside and outside the Yamen. I'm afraid you haven't heard the people outside praising the county magistrate. They all say that he is the same as the county magistrate."
It is a blessing for the people that the county magistrate is here. If the magistrate comes back later, you will have to praise him."
The old lady was happy after hearing this, and scolded her, "You are the only one who is sensible, and this old woman understands everything. If you hadn't been here this time, my son would not have been so easy. You still put all the credit on him."
Li Yanan listened quietly to the old lady's words.
The little girl is neither arrogant nor impetuous, and her elegant and generous appearance makes the old lady even more happy.
After swallowing a piece of pastry to fill her stomach, Li Yan directly stated her purpose of coming, "Old madam, Yan'er actually has an unkind invitation for coming here this time."
The old lady said oh, but did not agree. Instead, she stared at the girl's delicate face and asked her, "Let me tell you, let me see if I can help you."
"Yan'er is here to borrow a carriage from the old lady."
The girl pursed her lips and said, "The old lady delayed going to Dabei Temple to offer incense because of Yan'er. Yan'er felt very sorry. She couldn't let the old lady lose her trust in front of the Bodhisattva because of me. Then the Bodhisattva won't blame me, I'm afraid.
That old bald donkey will also blame me."
The old bald donkey mentioned by Li Yan was Master Xuankong, the abbot of Dabei Temple. This man's Buddhist teachings were boundless and his teachings were far-reaching, and he was deeply respected by people of his time.
It is said that the old lady got acquainted with Master Xuankong through the little girl.
"It turns out that Yan girl is worried about that old bald donkey." The old lady said with a smile, "If he dares to blame you, I'll see if I don't peel off his bald skin."
Li Yan clasped her hands together and said with a serious face, "I am a compassionate Buddha. Although I will not blame sentient beings for such trivial matters, Yan'er is uneasy because she is afraid of affecting the old lady's good fortune."
People at that time believed in ghosts and gods, so the old lady said she wanted to go to Dabei Temple to offer incense. If she didn't go, it would be bad.
It's rare that this girl always thinks about her. The old lady looked at the girl with a deep look and sighed, "That's it. I'll go with you again. Qiuyue, you can tidy up the boxes and cages again."
The old lady was naturally worried about her going out alone as a girl. At this time, she could only go with her as an old lady.
Li Yan hurriedly stopped the person, "Sister Qiuyue, you must not do it. The old lady is old and cannot withstand such back and forth."
Qiuyue and Li Yan had the same idea. The old lady must be getting old. She just returned home two hours ago. If she goes out again now, she will be tired from traveling and traveling, and her body will definitely be unable to bear it.
"Old madam, just listen to Miss Li."
Qiuyue was on the side helping Li Yan to persuade her, "If Sir, I know that you are going to Dabei Temple now, you will lose your temper again."
"Yeah." Li Yan nodded like garlic.
She was lobbying here completely without telling Zhou Bi about this matter. If Zhou Bi found out that she was coaxing the old lady to go out again, this time she would have to peel her skin and draw blood.
The old lady sighed, she had nothing to do with the child, so she had no choice but to agree to it.
The old lady gave her the best carriage and coachman in the house, and arranged for two servants to escort her.
After the little girl left, the old lady said to Qiuyue who was waiting at the side, "Look, she can handle things so well at such a young age. What's rare is that she still has this heart."
