Seeing that it was already noon, his uncle Zhu Zhifang said to Li You: "We have prepared a banquet at home. You can eat before leaving."
Li You nodded and walked toward the village with his uncle. Passing by the door of a family holding a funeral, Li You guessed that this was the home of Zhu Zhili, who died in a fight. At this moment, the door panel of the courtyard creaked half open, revealing Zhang Zhili's family.
She had a pretty and beautiful face, but still had a bit of natural purity. This young lady was in her seventeenth or eighteenth year. She suddenly saw a group of strangers outside. She trembled with her little hands and was so frightened that she closed the door.
All the government officials knew that this village was Li You's mother's house, and they didn't dare to tease her. But Li You fell in love with her. He didn't expect that there would be such an outstanding woman in this poor village. No wonder Manager Sun insisted on buying her last time.
Be a concubine.
During the banquet, uncle Zhu Zhifang praised: "Xiao Er is really promising. Originally, my uncle was worried about the injustice of the government, but he was relieved when he saw that it was you. There is justice in this world, it is really the law of heaven..."
Li You interrupted these useless nonsense and asked directly: "Does this dead man have a beautiful daughter?"
Zhu Zhifang was stunned by Li You's question and replied hesitantly: "Indeed."
"How is this little lady's character?"
"My character is good, and I have read a few books."
Li You was overjoyed after hearing this. It was rare for a village girl to know how to read. He asked, "Have you ever made a promise to someone else?"
Zhu Zhifang had vaguely heard of his nephew's reputation, and he felt bad about it, saying, "Zhu Zhili was a good daughter who was carefully nurtured during his lifetime. He was reluctant to let her live in the sun, and wanted to marry into a good family. But.
I have also become very discerning, and I can never find a good match among the dealers nearby."
Li You and Li Dianshi finally said the words that Zhu Zhifang and Uncle Zhu didn't want to hear the most, "Uncle, please take me to meet this young lady for a while."
"Absolutely not!" Zhu Zhifang stood up in shock and acted like an elder: "Xiao Er, you just decided to get married, how can you still mess with women at this time!" He added: "Besides, rabbits don't eat from the side of the nest.
Damn, this Zhu family is from the same clan, and they are also your mother’s clan. They are my cousins, you ruined the innocence of this young lady, and taught my uncle how I can have the honor to be the leader of this clan!"
Li You was so angry that he almost vomited blood. My reputation is a little popular, but it's not bad! He held back his anger and thought that he blamed himself for speaking ambiguously. He said a few words in his uncle's ear. Zhu Zhifang's face trembled.
He asked in a trembling voice: "Is this really happening?"
"Of course there is." Li You said: "But what my uncle said is right. My nephew is going to Tai Meng Lang today, and it will be bad if he stirs up gossip. Last time, the gossip almost ruined the event. Uncle, please find some capable people in the past two days.
The person should be sent to the county seat in a concealed manner. I will ask the person to take a look for himself. If he likes it, he will be prosperous."
"Good nephew, but please don't worry, it's all taken care of by my uncle. Since the head of his family is gone, I will naturally be the master and send him to the county as soon as possible." Zhu Zhifang fully agreed. After speaking, he confirmed: "It's really not you who has taken the initiative.
Heart?"
After lunch, Li You and his men tied up Steward Fang and returned to the county seat. When they arrived, it was getting late, so Li You ordered the government officials to throw Steward Fang into the prison, and he went back to his residence first.
The next day, Li Dianshi came back! Li Dianshi entered the Yamen! Li Dianshi was in the public house and did not go out! These news spread quickly in various temples, and all kinds of undercurrents surged crazily.
At this time, Li You put the official business of praying for rain behind him and concentrated on finding a concubine for Chen Zhi County.
Then someone asked, Li Dianshi was scolded by the county magistrate for delaying official business a few days ago, why did he still remember to eat instead of being beaten? This is wrong, delaying official work for his own private affairs and delaying official work for his boss's private affairs are of course not the same thing.
What's more, for a very pragmatic official matter like praying for rain, it doesn't matter whether it is important or not, it just depends on the big man's mouth.
The difficulty is that, based on Li You's understanding of Chen Zhixian's temperament, if he ran over to the dignified fifth Jinshi, who was the official official of his parents, and the proud Chen County Zun said nakedly: "I have a good girl, please help me."
I'll give you a look!" You don't need to think about the result, you will definitely be scolded.
It was too vulgar and tasteless. County Magistrate Chen, who values appearance, would definitely think that this was a deliberate attempt to ridicule him, so there had to be a good step in the middle so that Mr. Chen could go and take a look at it with peace of mind.
Just as I was thinking about it, a follower came to report: "I'm from the City God's Temple, please visit me."
Hasn't his wife, Goddess Han, been here before? Why is she here again today? At first, he was too lazy to see her, but Li You suddenly had an idea and said, "Let him come in."
The disciple let Dai Miaozhu go into the Yamen and came to Li You.
Li You saw that this man was short in stature and had an ordinary appearance, and he didn't know how he could marry such a beautiful woman. "Isn't it true that you were approved the day before yesterday? Why are you here? Why don't you hurry up and do something! I missed the important thing of praying for rain, but you are the only one."
It’s a question!”
Dai Miaozhu held a roll of paper, bowed and bowed with a flattering smile: "Sorry to bother Li Dianshi, but I have something to ask sir."
Li You is most afraid of trouble now, but seeing that Dai Miao's blessings were thoughtful and respectful, he said: "You tell me."
"The statues of gods, colorful pavilions, floats, etc. are all ready-made, but according to Mr. Li's order, there is no sign for rain. Please ask Mr. Li to inscribe a few words so that the sign for rain can be displayed when parading."
Oh, Li You felt very fresh. This was the first time in his life that someone asked for calligraphy. I am a famous scholar. I didn’t refuse at the moment. Of course, there were pens, inks and inkstones in the public room, but the paper was not suitable.
Dai Miaozhu was prepared and took out a few feet of good white paper and spread it out.
With a swipe of his pen, Li You used all his life's skills, and eight... seemed to be eight words scrawled out: "God's will is merciful, and I beg for the rain."
Dai Miaozhu couldn't help but praise: "As expected of Li Dianshi, the writing is very... peculiar, the composition is very unruly, and it has the style of the ancients." Then he took out two silver ingots and said: "A little polish on the pen.
, please accept it."
Li You glanced at it and saw that the two trumpet officials cast silver ingots, ten taels. Suddenly he understood something. It was Dai Miaozhu who had received his own ten taels of silver ingots. His conscience found out, and he felt sorry for himself, so he changed his method and sent it back. This is really a comparison.
Those monks are much more sensible.
Li Youxin gathered the money into his arms and thought: If you can still ask for something today, it will be easier for you. Besides, this money was originally allocated to you by Ben Dianshi when he didn't know the truth. You didn't even pay half a cent of your own blood. From this
Judging from this point of view, you are really a picky person. But as expected, it is only beneficial to be in charge of things. No matter what it is, it just depends on whether you are willing to study it.
Li You took the initiative to ignore one thing. The money came to his own family indirectly from the official bank.
"By the way, there is one more thing." Li You said: "Your City God's Temple is a big place. Please arrange a quiet guest room for me and clean it. I will use it in the next few days."
After testing for a long time today, Dai Miaozhu, who originally thought that nothing happened, was shocked, as if he was struck by lightning. Finally, as expected, it was still... Li Dianshi, you live locally, what is the use of a guest room in the temple? It must be
He is going to attack his own wife, and it is too shameless and overbearing to allow him, the husband, to arrange a quiet place! He really has a human face and a beast heart. It is a pity that he is trying to lure the wolf into the house for a small advantage. It is so sad!
Facing the powerful, the poor Miao Zhu, who had no choice, knelt down and cried out: "Please sir, please spare my wife!"
Li Dianshi, who felt that he had been wronged frequently in the past two days, was furious when he heard this. He wished he could use the power of three mountains and five mountains to kill Dai Miaozhu into a pulp!
How can he communicate normally with others if he says anything casually and is misunderstood as a matter of men and women? For the first time, Li Dianshi had doubts about the road to fame.
