Chapter 151: Meeting a Little Daughter in the House
Chapter 151: Encountering the young daughter by chance when looking at a house
He then heard the old prefect Wang continue to advise: "You can be regarded as a local celebrity. You have people to protect you, and you have officials to protect you. As long as you are careful in your words and deeds, and obey the law, what can Shi Shenzhi do to you? He cannot easily appoint or remove imperial officials.
Yes, at most it has made your career difficult in the past few years, but you are not even twenty, so you can afford to wait."
Li Tuiguan secretly thought that Old Man Wang was right. The older he got, the less courageous he became, so he hesitated as soon as he put on his shoes. Fortunately, Shi Dacan was not a person with a strong background like Chen Xundao.
If you can't afford to offend him, you can always hide. Shi Dacan can't go to the government office every day to keep an eye on him. His official duties correspond to Chen Xundao of the Police Division, and Shi Dacan of the Political Division shouldn't interfere indiscriminately and cause trouble.
Thanks to Emperor Taizu Gao for designing the local government system that entangles each other.
After all, life has to be passed, so Li You feels relaxed for the time being. In the past three months, from the warehouse case to the panic in the city, life has been really tense. It is rare for the world to be peaceful and harmonious now.
, I am still worried about something in my heart.
Finally, the prefect Wang patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you deal with the situation. This is the Suzhou Prefectural Office, not the Branch Office."
To be honest, it was rare to see Mr. Wang, who acted softly, be so tough and responsible. Official Li was almost moved. Then he became suspicious and thought that if something was abnormal, it would be a monster... but he didn't know where the monster was.
Back in the palace, Li You received a letter from home, written by Aunt Guan. It said that now a large number of new silks are on the market, and they can't handle them all. Their own silk shop no longer makes huge profits, and they can barely make a living by earning a few taels of silver.
It's just for household use, I hope your husband will make other plans.
From now on, the focus will be on Fucheng. Li You immediately replied and asked Aunt Guan to come to Fucheng to discuss the matter together and inspect the market.
At this moment, Chang came in with Zhang San and said, "Master, I have a little one, I have something to ask of you."
Li Youqi asked: "Why is this so difficult that you, a genius like you, can't even speak clearly?"
It turned out that it was the squad leader Hu who was trying to add insult to injury and greatly offend Li You. Although he was released by the Wang Prefect, the squad leader couldn't do his job and was directly sent to work as a handyman.
He saw that Li You was now holding a criminal stick in his left hand and a bank carrot in his right hand. He was under one person in the government office and above all others. His prestige was even greater than that of his higher-ranking colleagues. He had sentenced more than one person. Needless to say, he felt regretful in his heart.
I was really blind at first. Then I saw that even Li You's long-term entourage was getting better and better, and everyone welcomed him wherever he went. I suddenly felt that it would be good for my daughter to be Zhang San's concubine.
Why couldn't I think about it at the beginning? It didn't matter that he was a servant. The old saying about the prime minister's slave being a seventh-grade official was not unreasonable. He spent a lot of money in vain to avoid this marriage. Hu Qianban leader decided to give his daughter to Zhang San again.
If you have any thoughts, find someone to discuss them with.
The man surnamed Hu obviously wanted to be reinstated as the team leader. Zhang San did not dare to make the decision without authorization, so he came to report to the master.
Li You laughed and scolded: "You are so lucky, it's up to you! Also, the master has changed his mind about the house that the former *** mentioned. I'm going to take a look today. I'll make a decision if it's really suitable."
Before he left, Inspector Hong sneaked in again, stretched out a finger and said to Li Tuiguan: "In yesterday's case, the prison sentence was changed from ten years to three years. This is the number."
When Li You recalled yesterday's case, it seemed that there was no public outrage. It was just a robber who had not succeeded. Changing the sentence to three years would not affect anything, and it did not matter if he agreed. Just when he was about to speak, he suddenly had scruples. Now he had a third-level political supervisor who was famous for his integrity.
Watching with eager eyes...
Alas, are we really going to live like a sky as clear as water, with breeze on our sleeves and a pure blue sky in the future? Li You thought helplessly.
Let's go to see the house first. The destination is not too far from the government office. Li Tuiguan did not sit in the sedan chair, but he also wanted to stretch his legs, so he changed into ordinary casual clothes and walked along the street with Zhang San.
The owner of this house only left an old servant surnamed Cai to guard the door, and let Li You in to take a closer look. However, he saw that there were three rooms and three entrances, the masonry on the floor was intact and cracked, the wood of the house was still 80% new, and the cornices and painted roofs were decent.
Exquisite. You can also see the tall and graceful trees in the front yard, and the pine and willow flowers and plants in the backyard surrounding the small pond, which has a unique elegance.
Li You felt satisfied in his heart and turned back to the gate. He was about to book a house when a group of men and women broke in, surrounding a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old lady like stars holding the moon. They saw
Li You stopped.
A man in his thirties in the crowd asked Old Servant Cai, "Why are there still outsiders coming in?"
Old servant Cai replied: "This gentleman also wants to buy a house."
The thirty-year-old man spoke loudly and reprimanded Old Servant Cai: "I remember I told you that my seventh lady must not negotiate with others before she makes up her mind!"
The master is insulting his ministers! Zhang San stood up and asked: "What are you talking about? I am just a servant, and I am not afraid that Feng Da's tongue will cause trouble to the master's family!"
While the servants were arguing, Li You looked up and down at the young lady across from him, assessed in his mind and then fell silent——
She has a delicate appearance but also a bit of childishness, and her skin is as crystal clear as jade. She is obviously well-nourished. But it doesn't matter. There are many young ladies from rich families in Suzhou these days, and Li You has seen many beauties.
The gold hairpin, pearls and emeralds on your head are nothing, they are nothing more than piles of silver.
The style of the clothes is very simple, with a sleeveless pink jacket above and a floor-length skirt below. At first glance, it seems like nothing.
Faced with an eldest lady who seemed to be nothing in general, why did the dignified seventh-grade official remain silent?
Because the material used for this young lady's clothes is very extraordinary, it is a kind of fine tapestry that is rare in the market. That is the raw material for making the emperor's dragon robe... In comparison, the silk, satin and silk yarn are weak.
How could Li You, who was born as a servant, have the ability to recognize it? He had seen it in Zhao Daguan. At that time, he heard Zhao Liangli boast and show off that this was the material of the dragon robe, so he paid more attention.
Later, I heard that the letters of conferment and the patches on official robes were all made of tapestry, but they were obviously not of the highest quality.
Facing a noble lady who could wear a silk dress as casual clothes when going out, what else could Li You do besides pretending to be silent?
Xujiang County is not just a group of nouveau riche. Kejia Palace is also the richest city in the world. There are so many dignitaries in Suzhou, and there are many Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons, who are more difficult to offend than outsiders like Shi Dashen.
He, Li You, an official who seems to have great authority in criminal matters, is actually targeting the middle and lower class civilians. In other words, most of the people who come to file lawsuits are powerless people, and at most they are rich and incompetent people.
The powerful wealthy family and scholar.
This is also the reason why Li You dares to establish his image through severe punishment in court. As the protagonist, his luck will not be so bad that dozens of big boards will be printed out as the father of a Jinshi or the son of a minister. Those who are truly powerful do not need to go through it at all.
They go to court to solve problems, so they are called the privileged class in feudal society.
Although Li You thought a lot, it only lasted a few moments. The young lady was not afraid of strangers, and she also scrutinized the man opposite her. After all, Li You was known to have a good figure, an eye-catching appearance, and to kill young and old alike. He was able to be popular all over the city back then.
There must be corresponding capital for being tipped.
