After being hit by Li Quan, the servant lay on the ground and seemed to have fainted. The other three knew that they were not opponents, so they lifted up their brother in panic and left.

Old Xiao was still in shock, thinking that the person holding the umbrella for him was a servant of the Li family, so he didn't react much.

Li Quan held an umbrella for the other party and smiled: "Old Xiao is frightened."

Old Xiao heard the voice sound familiar, but when he looked back, he was so frightened that his legs gave way and almost fell, but fortunately he was supported by Li Quan.

Elder Xiao pulled Li Quan's sleeve, couldn't believe his eyes, and shouted tremblingly: "Master!"

Chapter 65: Xiao Zhu was bitten by a snake

Li Quan's current appearance was really a bit embarrassing, his whole body was wet, his goatee turned into a faucet, and all the rainwater gathered on his beard and fell into a column of water. .

Li Quan was holding an umbrella, but it wasn't for himself. He was still outside and was still blowing by the wind and rain.The strong wind and rain blew Li Quan's eyes shut, but he still maintained a calm and calm posture, looking at the hunched old Xiao with a smile in front of him.

Mr. Xiao has worked in the Li family for half his life. He was a small cloth merchant who was not well-known before. It is all because of the Li family that he has achieved today's success.He is grateful to the Li family from the bottom of his heart. Although he is old, he has not forgotten his identity.He is just a servant of the Li family, how can he let the master take a shower outside and hold an umbrella for himself?

Old Xiao was trembling a little, and kept pushing the umbrella on Li Quan's head, but how could he vomit Li Quan?

Li Quan prevented the opponent from backing down again and again, and smiled: "Old Xiao, what's so special about Li Quan giving you an umbrella?"

"The villain can't stand it! Master, leave me alone!"

"Why can't you bear it? When Mr. Xiao was helping our Li family, I wasn't there! You have made such a great contribution to the Li family, why can't you bear it if I hold an umbrella for you today?"

Elder Xiao was so moved that he froze in place.An Fu ran over and asked in a cold voice:

"There is no one now, so you should explain the reason clearly? Look at the master! You came all the way from Li's mansion for your business, how did you get drenched?"

Anfu's words were full of impatience, but even more of anger!

Elder Xiao was silent for a long time, hesitating to speak several times.The scene was so quiet that only the sound of rain was left. There was too much rain on Li Quan's face, and he couldn't help wiping it off. His beard was completely attached to his chin.Seeing Li Quan's actions, Mr. Xiao felt a surge of emotion, and suddenly made a "woohoo" and made a gesture to kneel on the ground.

"Old Xiao, why are you doing this?" Li Quan supported the other party again.

Old Xiao burst into tears, grabbed Li Quan's sleeve and said in frustration, "I'm sorry for the Li family. I'm leaving this time to help King Jing open the cloth village."

"Sure enough!" An Fu jumped up angrily, if he didn't see that the other party was old, he really wanted to slap him, "Now in Bizhou, who doesn't know that Prince Jing's newly opened cloth village is the biggest competition of our Li family? Opponent? You still went to help him? Forgot how the Li family treated you? Who made you live comfortably for decades? Didn’t expect you to repay your kindness today! Tell me! How much benefit did you receive from Prince Jing?”

Li Quan frowned when he heard this, coughed twice, signaled An Fu not to say any more, then slowed down his tone, and said kindly:

"Old Xiao, have you encountered any difficulties? I, Li Quan, believe that Elder Xiao will not make such a decision for no reason."

"Hey!" Xiao Lao sighed in various ways, "My unfilial son! The villain has worked all his life, and all his savings have been planted on him. I thought it would make people feel more at ease when I was older, but I didn't think it would be even more so. It got worse. Recently, I even owed a gambling debt of 5 taels. I have no choice but Prince Jing who is willing to help my son repay it."

An Fu didn't believe it, and asked instead: "Old Xiao, didn't your son cut ties with you long ago? Otherwise, you wouldn't live in Dyefang. Who would believe this reason?"

"Mr. An, that's my own son. The relationship can be broken at will? I'm just such a seedling, how can I look at him..."

"Okay, okay." Li Quan interrupted Xiao Lao's words, "As long as the problem can be solved by money, it is not a problem. Xiao Lao, how much salary do you have every month in the Li family?"

"Thanks to the great love of the master, twelve taels a month."

"Then how much will Prince Jing give you?"

Old Xiao bowed his head: "20 taels a month."

Li Quan said decisively: "Well, if Mr. Xiao is willing to stay in Li's house in the future, I will give you 200 taels per month."

Xiao Lao was taken aback for a moment, thinking he had heard it wrong, and asked again: "What?"

"200 taels per month."

"..."

Not only Xiao Lao was stunned, but An Fu also found it unbelievable.He himself is a manager anyway, only 20 taels of silver per month, and his status is much higher than this Mr. Xiao, how could he pay such an unbelievable salary?

Li Quan was not joking, but asked seriously: "Old Xiao, are you satisfied now?"

"No, no, I can't do it! What can I do? How dare I covet so much money from the Li family?"

Li Quan didn't answer, and continued to ask: "How many years has Mr. Xiao worked in my Li family?"

Xiao Lao didn't know why, so he thought for a while: "It's almost 30 years."

"The Li family is today thanks to Xiao Lao's contribution. In the past, I was negligent. It doesn't matter to a hero like Xiao Lao. You don't know what happened in your family. It shouldn't be. With Xiao Lao's ability, the annual year-end award At least 5000 taels of silver is needed, and after working in the Li family for 30 years, the sum should be 15 taels of silver. Anfu, I will transfer 15 taels of silver from the accounting office to Mr. Xiao tomorrow. Are you clear?"

"This...Master..." An Fu was speechless all the time, and thought to himself, didn't the master get confused by the rain?

"Did you hear that?" Li Quan emphasized again.

"Listen... I heard it."

Li Quan turned to Mr. Xiao: "Old man, can you work with peace of mind in my Li family now? From now on, the monthly salary will be 200 taels, and the workload will remain the same. There will be a year-end bonus of 5000 taels at the end of each year. Your son's gambling debts will not be used." Worry, Anfu will send you 15 taels of silver tomorrow, this is your own hard-earned money, don't look at Prince Jing's face."

"This... this isn't... isn't it true?"

Old Xiao murmured in a daze.Li Quan wanted to comfort him more, but he heard the sound of horseshoes.

Another person gallops here on horseback!Li Quan recognized at a glance that it was a servant of the family, and his face changed: "What happened again?"

"Master, I just received the news that our work in the shop in the south of the city is fighting with the work of other cloth shops."

Li Quan frowned: "What's the situation?"

"I don't know either. It happened suddenly, master, let's hurry over and have a look!"

An Fu also frowned, glanced at Li Quan, and knew what the master was thinking, helped Li Quan get on the horse, and rode off again by himself.

……

……

On rainy days, not only the melodious sound of the piano is played in Li's residence, but also the sound of the piano can be heard from the simple wooden house next to the small tea stand.

Ruhua has a calm expression and gently plucks the strings. Although the melody is not as beautiful as Xia's, the technique is still quite proficient, without cadence and euphemism. The simple and direct notes are just like her character, elegant and simple.

Qin, of course, was given by Li Quan.Ruhua yelled about throwing it away, but she still couldn't throw it away in the end.

Lvzhu took advantage of the heavy rain to fish at the ferry, and everyone knew that fish eat fast in rainy days, so the little girl wanted to have a fish feast today.There was no one else in the room, so Ru Hua secretly took out the piano and played it.When I see Qin, I will naturally think of that piece of brown sugar. After so many days, the anger in my heart has long since dissipated.Seeing that Li Quan hadn't come for many days, I felt strange.I don't know if I missed it, but I felt a little regretful in my heart, did I feel that my aggressive performance that day would scare him?Otherwise, why didn't you come all the time?

Ruhua was thinking blankly when the door suddenly opened.In the meantime, Green Bamboo rushed into the room drenched, and before Ruhua could react, she threw herself on the ground.

"Xiaozhu!"

"Aunt Hua, save Xiaozhu! I was bitten by a snake!"

Ruhua's mind buzzed, this is on the edge of the Bijiang River.Snakes are mostly water snakes, and water snakes are basically poisonous. People in Bizhou are bitten by poisonous snakes and die every year.I don't know what kind of snake bit the green bamboo, but seeing the painful expression on the green bamboo, I'm afraid the poison is not weak!
