After sending off Zhang Zhixian and Xue Juren, it was already dark, and the Li family held a reunion dinner in the back hall. After the meal, they did not mention washing their hands and gargling their mouths. Several pairs of expectant eyes were directed at the master who was still pretending to drink tea.
, especially Aunt Guan. In fact, everyone probably knows that the master is probably doing the embroidery tonight.
But Mr. Li put down his teacup and looked around: "Um, why didn't Sister Mei come over?"
"Maybe he didn't know that the master would be back today," Jin Baoer replied.
Li You laughed at himself: "It's strange, there isn't even a craftsman in the family who can tell the news? I'll go next door and have a look."
"Slave, please go with me?" Jin Baoer asked.
Li You stood up and said: "No need, I have some small things to say, come as soon as you go."
Mei Zhi "kindly" reminded: "Master, don't be too late, be careful that all the doors in your home are locked."
When Li You walked to the backyard, he heard the melodious sound of the flute coming from the next door. It must be Sister Li Mei playing the flute again. He passed through the small door between the two courtyards, and sure enough he saw a lantern hanging in the corner of the courtyard on the other side, and a pink shirt.
Sister Li Mei was sitting on a stone bench with her back turned, playing music to the moon. The woman sitting next to her must be Li Huan, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
The two of them were so fascinated that they didn't notice anyone behind them.
Li You walked over gently, with the intention of teasing, he bent down and stretched out his hand, pointing like a halberd, and thrust it out into the groove of sister Li Mei's waist, and then picked it up.
"Ah!" Sister Li Mei screamed softly, and her body suddenly jumped up. She turned her head and glared, and a beautiful little face appeared under the light, but it was the face of Miss Huan'er.
Is the woman playing the flute Li Huan or Sister Mei? Li You frightened himself. In his eyes, this female literary youth (who was still half a sister-in-law) who was one step ahead of her time was the first-class person not to be messed with.
I actually went to stab her tonight, it was like lard had blinded my heart...
The plain-dressed woman next to her also turned around. This was the real Sister Li Mei. She was about to greet Li You, but Master Li asked angrily: "Why are you two wearing your clothes inside out?"
Sister Li Mei was confused by the question. She glanced at Li You and then at her shy younger sister. Suddenly she felt blessed and realized something in her heart. She smiled and said: "Ah, in this world, you can't even wear clothes. Last time, you, my eldest master,
You are overbearing. I think the clothes worn by the slaves when going out are too bright, and this one is too light, so why not not wear them?"
Li You didn't want to get entangled in front of Li Huan, so he pointed to the house and said, "We have something to discuss tonight. Let's go and talk inside."
"Beast in clothes!" Li Huan, who was stabbed in the chrysanthemum for no apparent reason, held it in for a long time before he remembered a curse word and walked away after the curse.
Li You was relieved. He was not afraid of being scolded, but he was afraid of being pestered.
After entering the house and serving tea, Sister Li Mei said: "In the past, my two sisters were reduced to a lowly status and had no other way to make a living. Now there is a person who has escaped from the lowly status and is just a slave. Fortunately, Huan'er is still innocent.
Young lady, you will find a good husband in the future, Mr. Li will stop messing around."
"No, no, I have no interest in her at all. Sister Mei, you can rest assured." Li You waved his hands quickly and asked, "This time when I come back, the whole family will move to Fucheng. What are your plans?"
Sister Li Mei leaned over and sat on Li You's lap and said, "I beg you to give me a future."
"How about we formally enter the house and use it as a side room to go together?"
"It's a beautiful thought. What you men think of is that everyone who has not entered is a treasure, and everyone who has entered is treated as a fool. If I don't enter your house now, Mr. Li, you will climb over the wall and climb over the bed, and you won't see many people coming. If once
As a concubine, I can’t answer any beating or scolding, so it’s better to live alone and feel more comfortable.”
It was only Sister Li Mei who could talk like this. Li You pinched the big bun on her chest and said, "If it weren't for the fact that I have my name on you, how could you be so free as a prostitute?"
Sister Li Mei giggled and said: "How do you say this... guard your body like a jade. It's not like the slave family won't protect you, so what else do you care about? The day the master stops caring about the slave family, the slave family will be very sad."
In the past, Li You always felt that among the women he knew, Guan Xiuxiu, the most talented and independent woman, was the one whose personality was closest to the women of that era in his previous life.
Later, as time went by, I discovered that Sister Li Mei, who paid more attention to the value of her own existence and had a certain semi-sexual spirit, was the person who most resembled the women of the 21st century. Looking back, when she and Yao Xing'er were fighting against each other, she thought she was underestimated.
No matter how independent Guan Xiuxiu is, she is just good at business and housekeeping. In essence, she has not escaped from the traditional female framework of obeying her father at home, obeying her husband when married, caring for her husband and raising her children, and treating her husband as her heaven. Of course, this is also good...
"Okay." Li You said with interest: "There is indeed something arranged for you. I want to open a pawn business and put it in your name."
Sister Li Mei was stunned, "You have an outstanding aunt in your family who is a good player. What is she doing in the slave business?"
"It's not easy for my family to open a pawn shop, so it will be under your name. Who will do it is another matter." Li You explained.
"After thinking about it, the Nu family seems to have never heard of a pawn shop opened by the official family. Even the scholars have not heard of anyone opening it. Most of them are people from Huizhou."
"The imperial court does not allow officials and relatives to open pawn shops."
Sister Li Mei rubbed Li You's chest and said, "Master, aren't you afraid that the slave family will take away the money and run away? Then the slave family will suffer. I don't know when it will open? Let the slave family experience the addiction of the big boss. I can't wait."
"I don't know, I don't have the capital yet."
"What does this mean? It's not easy for a seventh-grade master to borrow some money."
"There's no store, no warehouse, no ministers, no waiters..."
Sister Li Mei was immediately discouraged, "It turns out that I drew a castle in the air to deceive the slave family. Hey, what is this?"
As she said this, she took out a book from Li You's arms. It turned out to be the "Nine Powers of **" that Aunt Guan had dropped on purpose. She looked at the cover and laughed so hard that she leaned back and forth and trembled with flowers.
"Is there anything worthy of your laughter? Master, I don't believe you haven't seen it." Li You asked.
"Master Xiao actually regards this kind of cheap stuff as a treasure!" Sister Li Mei waved to the maid outside the house and shouted: "Yue Xiang'er! Bring the box in the second compartment of the bedside cabinet in the bedroom."
Yuexiang brought the box, and Sister Li Mei opened the box and took out a color painting album and said: "What's so interesting about Jiu Shi? Back then, a senior secretly taught me the twenty-fourth chapter of "The Modern Interpretation of the Dongxuan Sutra" Zhao, it is said that one can become an immortal by cultivating to a high and deep level..."
This is a professional... Li You said with emotion, he is indeed the person who dared to compete with Yao Xing'er as a semi-literate person, although he ended up retiring sadly.
Out of curiosity, Li You looked around and roughly saw some butterflies looking for fragrance, stray birds returning to the forest, hungry horses rushing to the trough, pushing boats, pouring candles upside down, making fire from the mountains, oolongs entering the sea, falcons taking wings, etc. The word pattern and the explanation text are not visible.
For a time, he was dazzled and gained knowledge. The content was so extensive and profound that it became an academic monograph.
"Just to see what's the use..." Sister Li Mei gently touched Li You's lower body and said.
"Can you really practice?" Li You asked. Becoming an immortal is a lie to Xiaobai, which is obviously impossible, but it can be done if you can practice for a long time.
Sister Li Mei said seductively: "Why not give it a try? All practicing slaves will keep this in mind."
Li You was very interested, threw the book on the table, reached out to pick up Sister Mei, threw her to the bed in the back room, and got on the horse in a familiar manner.
The maid Yuexiang was waiting outside. She was so sleepy that she kept dozing off. She vaguely heard some sounds from inside, mainly Sister Mei's calling——
"Shrink your nose...inhale, tighten your waist! Press the Yi point! Exhale for a long time...kiss...um...um...it's broken, little brother, try again."
"Change positions...don't stop. According to the slave family, shallow! shallow! shallow! breathe in! deep! shallow! shallow! breathe in! deep! deep! deep! Ah...ah...ah...forgot to count, start again."
"Raise the Dantian... pinch the tendons, retract the tailbone, breathe into the back of the head... smack the tip of the tongue, cross the pass... ah, ah, sir, don't, don't cum... I have to do it all over again."
It was only after midnight that Mr. Li, who had failed several times in practice, stumbled out of Sister Mei's room. He understood a truth. These seemingly complicated practices in ancient times were probably made up by women for their own pleasure. In fact,
It's better to go back to nature and be simple and crude.
When we got to the courtyard wall, we found that the small door was really locked. It was hard for Li You, who didn't know how to climb over the wall? There was no power grid or broken glass these days.
I jumped down and returned to my courtyard. I noticed that the lights in two of the three rooms were turned off, and they seemed to have gone to sleep. Only the window of the Xiuxiu room was still on.
At this point, Mr. Li suddenly remembered that he was supposed to appease Linxing tonight, but he forgot about it when he started practicing. It was really a sin...
After opening the curtain and entering the house, he saw Aunt Guan sitting at the table in the outer room, with the maid Lu Shui beside her talking cautiously with her.
Guan Xiuxiu raised her eyebrows when she saw her husband who was supposed to be hers come in tonight, disheveled, with a scent all over his body, and a few rouge marks on his face. The anger in her heart came out somehow, and she sneered: "Master
Are you exhausted?"
Li You coughed and said: "There are some things you don't understand about the Nine Forces. I asked you for advice. After all, I have rich experience. I didn't notice that it was already late."
After saying that, he took out the book and gave it back to Guan Xiuxiu. Under the light, he saw the words "Twenty-four Styles of the Modern Interpretation of Dongxuan Zhenjing" on the cover. It seemed that Mr. Li was in the dark when he left Sister Mei'er, so he took the
Wrong book.
Guan Xiuxiu tilted her head and said to Lv Shui: "Didn't you say that there is another copy of "Su'e's New Forty-three Things" that is too expensive to buy? I will buy it back tomorrow." Then he said to Li You: "I heard that it is also a Taoist magic.
, I would like to discuss it carefully with the master."
Forty-three... Li You was no longer interested in Fangzhongshu, and he felt dizzy and wanted to vomit.
Lv Shui said aggrievedly: "Miss, I was so embarrassed when I went back to buy that book... I really don't have the shame to go back to the slave family." She was really surprised. The young lady is so angry these days. She was not like this before. The young lady was originally
He should be a calm person. Although he is not indifferent to emotions and anger, he rarely becomes stingy at every turn.
Li You kept a straight face and was about to say a few words when Aunt Guan suddenly covered her chest and lowered her head to retching.
Lv Shui hurriedly stepped forward to support Guan Xiuxiu, and suddenly realized: "Oh! Miss, you haven't had your period these days..."
Li You was overjoyed and went out to summon his servants to fetch Doctor Zhang.
In less than half an hour, Dr. Zhang Zhen and Dr. Zhang, who were still sleeping, were carried and carried to Li's house by servants of the Li family.
After diagnosing the pulse, Zhang Zhen cupped her hands and said, "Congratulations, congratulations! It's indeed a blessing! It's a month in total."
Although Li You ignored Guan Xiuxiu when he returned home at the beginning of the month, he did happen to her in March, and it seems that the seeds were planted at that time.
The housekeeper Li Si rewarded Doctor Zhang on behalf of his master and sent him out with gifts. He turned around and met Zhang San, who was also the "eldest member" of the Li family. He heard Zhang San smile and say: "I look at the master's backyard, and the three-legged tripartite force has become established. What are the details?
