Bandit Reborn

Li Huaixi didn't think it was a big deal for his cousins ​​to elope together. After sending Lin Yichen back, he cooked lunch himself. For small households, there are not so many materials for Housekeeper Liu to waste.

Li Sisi didn't want Liu Quan after her little brother came back. Although Li Huaixi seldom talked to her, she still liked him the most among these brothers because he was clean and beautiful.

Li Huaixi steamed chicken cakes for his sister, and there were no fresh vegetables in winter, so he and Liu Quan were jealous and left shredded potatoes for rice.

Although Liu Quan is not good at housework, but he has a flexible mind, and while he is eating, he gives ideas beside him, "Master, how about we start a business in Yuchuan in the spring?"

"What business?" Li Huaixi asked casually. He had the gold he won from the ladies in his pocket. Although it was not much, it could be exchanged for five to six hundred taels. There are more than 600 taels, so in the past two days, I have also started to plan to make a deal, but I haven't decided what to do yet.

Liu Quan understood Li Huaixi, and his master was always so careless, but he wouldn't ask when he was really careless, so Liu Quan hurriedly said what he thought, "Get an inn, Yu Chuan guards the main traffic road, go north Those who go south have to stay in Yuchuan, and this autumn is the township examination, and as soon as summer comes, many people will want to stay in the store. It will not be too bad to keep this business, and there is no need to purchase and ship, and it is easy to manage. You What do you think?"

Li Huaixi nodded, "What you said is a good idea. In spring, don't keep guarding me in the academy. I don't need you. You go down the mountain to find a place by yourself. Since you want to do this business of Qiuwei, you have to do it. Quick, it's best to find something that can be used without much cleaning. We can start it first, and then clean it up after being busy with Qiu Wei. I'm afraid people don't want to talk to you by yourself. Then I will ask the butler of the Lin Mansion to help , he is familiar."

Liu Quan thought for a while, "Young master, when the place is found, whose name will be used? Your second brother's?" Liu Quan was a little reluctant. He thought that the three brothers would separate sooner or later. The money is in someone else's name.

"Use yours." Li Huaixi still casually threw a pepper on the ground.

"Young master, hey, young master, hey, hey, you really trust me." Liu Quanmei died.

"Get out, you have to give me something to be buried with me when you die. I can't believe it. You can go to work on this matter in spring, be smart."

"Understood, don't worry." Liu Quan agreed, and gave his master a large chopstick of potato shreds.

In the afternoon, all the family members came back, each of them looked solemn, and they knew that no one was found without asking.The aunt also came crying, she was kicked out after being slapped in the mouth, the uncle Yan Shigui said that if she couldn’t find her daughter, she would not be allowed to go home, and the aunt had nowhere to go after a scene with her brother and mother , I can only live with my sister temporarily for a while.

My aunt didn't talk about her heartache this time, she didn't even have the strength to feel her heartache. Li Huaixi's mother was afraid that her sister would be ill, so she stayed by her side to help her, but she couldn't find anyone, so it was useless to persuade her. of.

Li Huaixi didn't know the whole process, but at this time, going into the house to gossip would end badly, so he and Liu Quan kept asking Li Hu, Li Long recently took the route of a gentleman, and believed in "a gentleman does what he does and doesn't." Because of this set, the elopement of the gossiping family's daughter happened to be in the ranks of "doing nothing".

Li Hu is not a gentleman, and he told what he knew in a low voice with joy. Although he didn't dare to add more details, he used a lot of adjectives, and he didn't have the dignified expression when he entered the courtyard.

Yan Ying left before dawn this morning. My aunt found out when she woke up and asked her daughter to eat. At that time, my uncle responded quickly and went directly to the south gate closest to her home to ask. Listening to the soldiers guarding the city It is true that a man and a woman left the city as soon as the city gate opened in the morning. After careful questioning, they described their appearance as Cheng An and Yan Ying. The soldiers said that they took a carriage and went south.

The uncle went home and gave his wife a slap, and then drove to chase with Yan Li. The aunt ran to the uncle's house with disheveled hair. In the morning, Cheng Ping, Cheng An's younger brother, came to ask the sister-in-law for help. The family was in a hurry We went to grandma's house, and when they arrived, the three uncles had already hired a car to chase after them. Cheng An returned to the store on the sixth day of the lunar new year, and the family didn't know about it at all.

"What about our grandma? Are you okay?" Li Huaixi was more worried that her grandma would be angry, but she thought it was unlikely.

"It's okay. Grandma asked us to come back. It's useless to say that we stay there. My mother is afraid that if you don't come back today, Sier won't be able to eat."

"I can cook." Liu Quan was not happy anymore, he could cook, but sometimes he couldn't do it well.

"Shut up." Li Hu and Li Huaixi hadn't finished their gossip yet, and they patted the fat 'housekeeper' together.

On the kang in the east room, Li Huaixi's mother brought a basin of water to wipe her sister's face, and her aunt was beaten when she came out of the house. She still cried all day and her eyes were swollen.

"These two children are really serious. They ran away when they said they ran away. How do you know that adults can't agree to it before you try it?! It's really worrying to go out without a sound. They don't have much money on them. Cheng An handed over all the wages to his sister-in-law during the Chinese New Year, how can the two of them live?" Li Huaixi's mother was nagging, and she put away the needles and threads that she hadn't had time to clean up when she was walking on the kang, and she has been busy with several children's spring clothes after the fifth day of the new year. , I haven't spared time to go to my uncle's house to 'mediate', and I wanted to wait until my sons are gone before doing this matter, but I didn't expect the two juniors to be unable to wait.

After hearing what my sister said, the aunt pulled off the towel on her forehead, "How do you live?! Then you don't have to worry, that Cheng Anduo is good at calculating, he is really the material of the shopkeeper! Give him the money yourself Damn? He is filial! My daughter took all her private house, clothes, jewelry, banknotes, and cash, and she even took the embroidery thread I just bought for her! Oh my god! My silly girl, Where is she so stupid!"

Li Chengkui took a few children and started making dinner in the kitchen, and he could hear some intermittent conversations in the main room. He couldn't say what was right and wrong about other people's families, but he just whispered to his three boys, "No matter who you like in the future, you must If you look aboveboard, if you look poorer than our family, Dad will not dislike you. If you look richer than our family, Dad will help you to beg. You can’t run away like this, and you won’t be able to hold your head up in the future.”

Li Long and Li Hu hadn't thought about this before, so they ignored it, but Li Huaixi smiled and asked, "Father, what if I fall in love with a man?" Getting vaccinated will save you from getting angry when you get it.

Li Chengkui didn't take it seriously, and slapped his youngest son on the head, "You can't be sneaky about the man you like, at worst, I'll beat you up first, and then beat up the man you like! Little bastard, why are there so many?" Wrong mind?!"

It turned out that it was just a beating. Li Huaixi was relieved, lifted the lid of the pot to look, and directed Li Long to put the washed cabbage into the pot. Their evening recipe was stewed pork belly with frozen tofu and stewed cabbage, which was the recipe of Li Huaixi's previous life.

But after a while, Li Chengkui suddenly felt that something was wrong, the youngest son knew everything, he knew it, Li Chengkui thought about the youngest son's words, was startled, grabbed Li Huaixi's clothes, and secretly dragged him to the east wing.He closed the door and asked his son in a low voice, "Silly boy, are there bad boys in the academy who seduce you and bully you when you are young? The legs are broken!"

Li Huaixi was stunned for a moment, realizing that his father had misunderstood, and quickly said with a smile, "Father, please be safe and don't be impatient, I'm just asking, no one bullies me, look at how old I am."

"What are you talking about, dad can tell you, don't be fooled, if you fall in love with a man, then you are stupid, your small appearance is sure to be bullied, you can't even leave scum! In your academy Even the chef who cooks is a man, those bad boys are uncomfortable, looking for fun, son, you can’t be fooled, don’t believe the hype! If someone teases you like this again, you beat him, go Beat him to death!"

Li Huaixi smiled, and poured a glass of water for his father to smooth his hair. His father who blew his hair is the cutest, but Lin Yichen will have to bear it in the future, and it will not be as simple as his father said.

At night, my aunt slept in Li Huaixi's east wing, and he was arranged to sleep with his parents on the kang head of the main landlord's east room.The chubby Li Sisi was riding on her brother to ride a big horse. Li Huaixi lifted her twice and she climbed up twice. Li Huaixi was so heavy that Li Huaixi couldn't breathe, and finally Li Huaixi secretly pinched her ass.

Li Si was pinched and cried, and went to sue while wailing. Li Chengkui was reluctant to bear both his son's small body and his daughter's loud voice, so he carried his daughter on the ground in his underwear and walked around twice on the ground. Call.

Li Si, who was riding a horse, didn't let Li Huaixi sleep well that night. She didn't sleep like Li Huaixi in a clumsy group, but often slashed and stretched her feet to Li Huaixi's mouth several times in the middle of the night. He also crawled over and smeared his face with saliva.

In the morning, Li Huaixi wanted to lie in bed for a while and catch up on sleep, but when he was confused, his second uncle ran back to report the letter, but Yan Shigui didn't catch up with his daughter, so he came back angrily and beat the grievance drum.

The auntie cried again in the morning, one end was her man, the other end was her mother's family, the poor woman suddenly lost her mind.

Li Huaixi was taken out of the bed by his mother to put on clothes, "Your uncle is crazy, what are you doing in the lobby with housework, fortunately, he hasn't been promoted yet, you go and tell him, let him leave it alone, male unmarried A girl who is not married and you love me, how can she become a kidnapped girl from a good family?!"

"Who should I tell?" Li Huaixi was confused.

"Speak to that shameless magistrate, who else can you tell?!" His mother spread a hot towel on his face twice, and wiped some balm before the heat dissipated, "His father, in the car Spread two quilts, the child is still sleepy, and will fall asleep in the car in a while, Yan Shigui, who suffered from the plague, who should sue the official!"

Li Chengkui agreed to go to the car. He spread two quilts on the car and put straw under the quilt. Li Huaixi got in the car wrapped in a velvet cloak and covered the quilt and went to sleep. His father and his second uncle chatted all the way Looking at the sky, they all agreed that Yan Shigui was confused.

At the gate of the county yamen, his father and his second uncle gave him instructions and then went back. When the cold wind blew in the early morning, Li Huaixi was completely awake, wrapped his cloak tightly and ran to the back yamen. No one stopped him along the way. Teasing him with his job bowl, "Didn't you bring your cat today?" Li Huaixi shook his head, the fat cat didn't come, and when he went out the fat cat was still sleeping soundly under the quilt, what a disloyal cat!

Lin Yichen was also having breakfast, and when he saw him, he rushed out happily, "Why did you come out so early in the morning? Is it cold?"

"Cold, it's past the fifteenth day, and it's still so cold. Bring me the hand stove, and ask someone to bring me a pair of bowls and chopsticks. I haven't eaten yet." When he came out, their food was not yet cooked, and Li Huaixi Woke up feeling hungry.

"Drink some hot water first, and I'll ask someone to warm up the porridge for you, baby, why are you here?" Although he was very happy, Lin Yichen still felt very strange. He just sent the little fox back yesterday reluctantly.

"Is there no one playing the drums this morning? It's called Yan Shigui. That's my uncle. My uncle and my cousin are suing. My mother was worried and let me come to you through the back door." Li Huaixi took it The servant girl handed over the hand stove, and sat on the chair with her arms in her arms.

Lin Yichen was at a loss. It sounded like they were all relatives. Why did the trouble come to him, but judging by the little fox's appearance, it didn't seem like he really came through the back door, so the county magistrate asked the person who went through the back door, "What happened in the morning?" The child has not been submitted yet, it should be at the master Wang's book, what did your uncle sue?"

"My cousin eloped with my cousin. You have seen my cousin. The one who didn't make a sound on the night of the fifteenth." Li Huaixi put the stove on his lap, and the maid came over to wash his hands, and after a while, hot porridge was served up.

Lin Yichen waved his hand, causing all the servants to retreat, "Elope? Then what's your uncle suing? This doesn't violate the king's law, at most it's a shame, isn't he confused?"

Li Huaixi nodded, picked up the chopsticks to reach for the steamed buns, picked up one or two mouthfuls and ate it, then nodded and said, "It should be, so I just came out to be cold for nothing, my mother was just worrying."

"It's okay to worry blindly, don't worry, I can't take the initiative to send you here, and I didn't freeze you, you blushed, fell asleep in the car just now?" Lin Yichen touched Li Huaixi's small face with his hand.

"Well, my aunt is at our house. I slept next to my sister last night. The little girl slept in a film like a fight. She kicked me all night." Li Huaixi was angry, and he decided not to go back before his aunt left. up.

There was a person who was very connected with him at this time, Lin Yichen walked over and hugged Li Huaixi, put him on his lap, and took a cheap spoon to feed the porridge, "Then don't go back these few days, I won't Kick you..."

Yan Shigui's pleading paper was rejected before it reached Lin Yichen, and Yan Shigui didn't hand it over again, probably because he regretted it after the impulsive effort.

Li Huaixi stayed with Lin Yichen until the 25th of the first lunar month. His uncle took his wife back early that morning, and Li Chengkui was ordered by his wife to take his youngest son home.

"Father, why did my uncle take my aunt back again? Any news from my cousin?"

"How can there be any news? It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Your uncle was just saying angry words a few days ago. He really can't get rid of your aunt. It's not because your aunt eloped with someone when her daughter elopes. Why don't you have a mistress who is in charge at home?" Okay? In just a few days, their house has already broken out.

That day, your second uncle and I finished seeing you off, and we went to their house to try to make peace. The house was in a mess. His two concubines didn’t understand anything, and they babbled like something new. Everyone in the neighborhood knows, your uncle came back so angry, when we arrived, we were hanging up two unconscious people and beating them, it’s better than not knowing, so beating your aunt is still called beating?It's just a slap in the mouth, Yan Shigui beats a concubine is called beating, alas, such a thick stick is discounted. "His father gestured at the thickness of the stick while driving the car, and Li Huaixi felt that his father was exaggerating too much.

When he got home, his mother asked him to take off his big outer clothes in the house, and took a soft ruler to measure him. Li Huaixi was a little cold, and thought it was unnecessary, "Mother, I have clothes, you have been busy these days Big Brother, Second Brother and Liu Quan are fine, look at your eyes, you have dark circles in your eyes."

His mother stretched his arm to prevent him from hugging his shoulders, "Don't move, the measurement will be finished in a while. I won't make your outer clothes, but two small summer clothes. You can't embroider so many flowers on close-fitting clothes. It’s uncomfortable even if you have a lining, and your mother will also make the material for you, which is no worse than his.”

Li Huaixi smiled, "What do you compare with him? He just wears a dragon robe for me and I am your son. Don't worry about it. The ones issued by the academy are not embroidered, and the ones made of fine cloth are quite comfortable. Last time you went It just happened that I didn’t have any clothes on, so don’t be too busy, besides, you won’t see me this summer, why would you be willing to see me once a year? How pitiful I am alone.”

His mother put down the ruler and pushed Li Huaixi away, "If you don't do it, don't do it, you think I love to do it for you! You still pretend to be pitiful, you are a little heartless, you only arrived on the [-]th, and the [-]th day of the first lunar month... Run away, finally eighteen came back, and nineteen ran away again, do you think it is in your twenties today? You will leave in a few days? I won’t go to Baba to see you in summer, I raise you for nothing You are so old." His mother was heartbroken as she spoke, and began to sit on the kang and wipe her tears.

Li Huaixi was frightened, and hurriedly coaxed, "Mother, have you been with my aunt for a long time these days? Why do you look like her, this is not like you, stop crying, let my father see that it is time to beat me up."

"He is reluctant to beat you. You are not at home, and he always looks at your things. Look at your rabbits. Your father has raised them for you. They gave birth to litters after litters. You little heartless .”

"Okay, I have no conscience, I am the most heartless, mother, don't go online, you are going to call me heinous, I just stayed with Lin Yichen for two more days, I promise you, next time Let's not do this again, okay?"

"Next time? Do this next time..."

"I'll break your dog leg!" Li Huaixi picked it up halfway through his mother's words, and was so angry that his mother hit him, wiping her tears and chattering, "Before you leave, you have to explain to your father, those rabbits hurry up!" I sold it, how many radishes I ate all winter, and..."

His mother chattered endlessly, but the tears disappeared afterward. Li Huaixi secretly stuffed candy into Li Si's mouth.This is a little girl who is greedy for food and money, except that she looks like their father, the rest is fine. Li Huaixi just thought of a "good way" to marry her off, that is to follow the example of his aunt's family and find two beautiful little girls. The girl is giving her younger sister a dowry, buy one and get two free, it is estimated that it may sell a lot by then.
