Li You's banquet was a success. Everyone expressed some enthusiasm and some sincerity, with smiles on their faces and a spring breeze on their lips. They drank and drank from dusk to midnight. The main reason is that there has been nothing recently.
Another opportunity, the last time was the Dragon Boat Festival, and the county government officials also took this opportunity to get together.
Well, besides not having to pay for the gifts, why not do it? Everyone praises Li Dianshi for his magnanimity and generous use of justice!
Li You was drunk and was sent back to his residence by Sun Ji. Xiaozhu opened the door and instead of pestering the master to talk as usual, he turned around and ran back to the main room.
In this situation, Li You continued to stagger into the house, and suddenly saw his mother, Mrs. Zhu, sitting in the hall. Jin Baoer and Xiaozhu were waiting on her with their heads down, one on the left and the other on the right.
"Ah! Mother is here." Li You hurriedly stepped forward to say hello. Yesterday he sent someone to inform his family about taking a concubine, but he didn't expect that his mother would come today and not leave even so late.
Mrs. Zhu nodded and continued to teach Jin Baoer: "Although my family is not poor, it is not a wealthy family either. All the female relatives in the family must learn to be nühong and enter the kitchen. If you are not good at this, you can learn it slowly.
"
After saying that, he turned to Li You and said, "It's for mother's sake. From today on, Miss Jin will be my concubine."
It was only then, with the approval of the elders, that Jin Baoer's status was truly determined.
That night, his mother stayed in Li Youdong's house, and Li You slept in Jin Baoer's west room (actually every day).
After drinking, they naturally had sex. After that, Li You asked, "What did mother tell you?"
Jin Baoer said: "My mother-in-law asked me to learn needlework. My family didn't learn this since I was a child, but it looks interesting, and it would be nice to embroider in your spare time. But..." She stopped talking in a very embarrassed manner.
"But what?" Li You asked again: "There is no need to hesitate with me.
Jin Baoer hesitated again and again, and said with a grimace: "I really don't want to go to the kitchen..."
Li You smiled and said: "If you don't want to go, just go. I know you like to be neat and tidy. Don't you still have small bamboos at home? Anyway, my mother will leave tomorrow. Besides, I will turn into a yellow-faced woman and covered with oily smoke. I won't
What a loss. Close your eyes and sleep!"
The next day, when he arrived at the county government office, Li You was summoned by Master Huang. "I heard that you took a concubine?" Master Huang asked after meeting him.
Li You replied: "This is true, and I also sent a message to the old gentleman."
"That's not what I'm talking about. I entrusted you to find a suitable side house for the county magistrate, but there is no candidate so far, so you took the small one yourself first."
Ah! Forgot about this matter, Li You couldn't help but make up an excuse and said: "It's not that I don't try my best, it's just that I haven't found a suitable woman for the time being. Whatever my status is, I would rather be short-lived. I have to choose carefully."
"I know this too, I'm just reminding you that we have to pray for rain these days. The county magistrate shouldn't be in a hurry to do these things." Master Huang said, "But you have to pay more attention. It has been almost two months and it hasn't been done yet.
!”
Li You said yes, and returned to the public room. Not long after he sat down, he saw Inspector Liu, who was not wearing an official robe but a military uniform with arrow sleeves, walking in with a knife on his waist.
He came so quickly! Li You stood up and went to greet him, saying respectfully: "It's so wonderful that Mr. Liu is here! I missed the opportunity to welcome him from afar, and I deserve death! If I had known that, I would have gone to the yamen gate to greet him."
, so as not to lose the gift! I’m really ashamed.”
We can't let him find any place to find fault, Li You thought secretly.
Inspector Liu had no clues on his smiling old face, but he choked Li You as soon as he spoke: "My nephew is too polite. I am not your father-in-law at this time. There is no need to treat me with father's courtesy."
, it won’t be too late to do this in the future.”
Li You suddenly held his breath and asked again: "Why are you here, Mr. Liu? If you have something to do, you only need to send your servants to give instructions. Why do you have to do it yourself?"
Inspector Liu laughed and congratulated happily: "I heard that my nephew had a baby last night, so I came here to say congratulations!"
Li You was shocked. He had previously imagined that the other party might react directly, insinuate, hide behind the scenes, covertly cover up the warehouse, beat and curse, etc. However, he never expected that the inspector would actually come to the door and congratulate him repeatedly, seemingly sincerely and sincerely. He was so sincere for a moment.
I didn’t know how to deal with it. In the end, I said a random sentence in my numb mouth: "Same joy, same joy..."
"You, a younger generation, take a concubine. I am not an outsider and don't care about how happy I am to have a concubine. You should not talk like this to other people's elders in the future." Inspector Liu Yin Yin taught.
A disastrous failure! There was a big difference between Li You and Old Inspector Liu who was pretending to be stupid and talkative. It was better not to talk about it. He also remembered that his father said that Inspector Liu was cruel, and his brother scolded Inspector Liu for being tyrannical. How could this be the same?
Inspector Liu bypassed Li You and went straight to Li You's chair to sit down. In this public room, Li You's position is the most respected one, so he naturally had to sit here due to his status. "Didn't you even take a sip of tea?" Liu said.
The inspector took off his belt knife and knocked on the table and asked.
Li You had no choice but to go outside and ask a servant to bring water.
"What kind of crappy tea!" Inspector Liu took a sip and spat it out on the table in front of him. He then said, "My dear nephew, I have time to go to my official to get some good ones. How can a classics historian even have such dignity?"
Even if you don’t have any, I can’t stand it.”
I know you very well? Li You looked at the inspection and could only say: "Don't dare, don't dare."
"Has your father told you?" Inspector Liu asked.
Li You cautiously replied: "I told you."
Inspector Liu suddenly let out a long sigh and said, "Oh! My daughter is really pitiful."
Li You cheered and said, "Yes, yes." He thought to himself, how can it not be pitiful to be a poor man and a mute, but also to be a housekeeper?
"What do you know! That's right!" Inspector Liu reprimanded Li You and added: "Your father must have told you. Others are blind and don't know, but your father is different."
Li You knew in his heart that Inspector Liu's words were obviously referring to the rumor that he had killed his son-in-law-to-be. He did not dare to accept this. It was whatever you said, it had nothing to do with me. He stood still and said nothing.
"I'm not afraid to make it clear to you." Inspector Liu said bitterly: "No one knows that that thief has a human face and a beast heart! He actually raped my daughter's maid!"
There is also such an inside story, that guy actually raped a woman, he is really worse than a beast, he deserves to be thrown into Taihu Lake, Li You thought. But... he left his fiancée alone, but went to rape the maid, which shows that Liu Inspector's daughter
…
Inspector Liu gritted his teeth and continued: "My daughter happened to see the beast's bestial behavior. She was frightened and has been unable to speak since then!"
Li You seemed to have seen this disease on the Internet in his previous life. It was called aphasia. With the current medical level, I am afraid it cannot be cured.
"I wish I could kill this thief with my own hands!" Inspector Liu became more and more excited as he spoke, and quickly pulled out his sword.
Facing the shining blade, Li You secretly took two steps back. But he could understand his feelings. If his daughter was nothing like that and became mute inexplicably, no father would be able to bear it. Inspector Liu
Brutal killing is understandable.
Then I heard Inspector Liu say: "God has a good nature, and I have a good heart, but I also thought that killing him would stain my sword. So I put the thief into a bamboo cage and threw him to Taihu Lake, leaving him to fend for himself."
Destroy, life or death depends on God's will, teach him not to blame me."
Are you going to build a memorial arch after killing someone? Li You asked in a low voice: "Are there any large stones in the bamboo cage?"
Inspector Liu looked at Li You in surprise and said, "Could it be that my nephew has done something like this?"
Li You hurriedly replied: "No! No!"
"Oh, it's not surprising that you know your family background." Inspector Liu suddenly realized, "I also admire your father very much, and I want to ask for advice."
Doesn't this have to do with family background? In the previous life, as long as Li You had read the story of Shanghai, who wouldn't know the story about tying stones and loading sacks into the Huangpu River?
