Bandit Reborn
Chapter 39
Innocent, I think my mother should be worried, what if you grow up? !I have also lived in this Yuchuan Academy for several years. I have never found such a good book in the library. Where did you find it?Where are the books?show me. "He suspected that Li Huaixi had read picture albums such as erotic palaces.
"Fuck book! I'll draw a book for you, do you want to read it?! Get up, isn't there a chair over there? Sit on the chair and let others look at you like a decent person!"
"I'm a decent person. We'll stay in Yuchuan for two or three days. I'm going to report on my duties to Mr. Fu Yin. You and Liu Quan have a good time shopping these few days. The New Year's goods here are more refined than ours in Jinxian County. It's better to go back. The carriage of goods will not be broken." Lin Yichen tried his best to show his seriousness.
Li Huaixi glanced at him sideways, "Has my second brother gone home yet? It's almost Chinese New Year."
"It doesn't seem to be the case. Mr. Accountant doesn't return home until the end of the year, but when I came out, the county school was already on holiday, and your eldest brother went home." Lin Yichen finished his clothes, but he was still sitting on the bed. There was a faint smell of Li Huaixi, and he was a little reluctant to leave.
After a while, Liu Quan came back with the fat cat in his arms. The fat cat broke out of Liu Quan's arms and jumped onto Li Huaixi's shoulder, causing him to stagger.
Li Huaixi concentrated on dealing with the coquettish fat cat, and turned to tell Liu Quan, "Take all the clothes, I won't be able to wear them next year when I'm too young, go back and let my mother put them away. You don't need to bring so many small things, just lock them up." That's fine, I don't like the pearl tiara you sent last time, it's too feminine." The last sentence was addressed to Lin Yichen.
"If you don't like it, don't wear it. Isn't there so many more?" Lin Yichen stretched out the messed-up bed sheet, and then pretended to sit on the chair. Li Huaixi carried his cat to meet Prince Duan. , He Dashao said goodbye.
Prince Duan plans to go back in a carriage with his fellow countrymen this time. He is usually very frugal. In addition to buying some extra rice paper with the monthly money sent by the court, he even used his own inkstones to break the broken inkstones. He said repeatedly that several people rented a car together before he agreed.
Prince Duan was packing up his things at home, when he saw Li Huaixi coming in, he asked with a smile, "Is that your brother? He must miss you very much." Just now he and Li Huaixi entered the door together, and Lin Yichen just nodded slightly. Holding Li Huaixi into the room, neither of them spoke.
"He's not my elder brother, the magistrate of our county, my senior brother." Li Huaixi felt that Lin Yichen was ashamed, looked at Duan Zhengchun's packed luggage, and changed the subject, "You want to take it all back?" Everything that came down was put on.
Duan Zhengchun nodded, "There is a younger brother in my family who is also studying. I will bring things back to him so that the family can save a bit."
Li Huaixi thought of a lot of things under his bed. He didn’t need the quilts, pens, inks, papers and inkstones issued by the academy. What he used were all sent by Lin Yichen. space, so at this time Li Huaixi was very generous once, and he asked Prince Duan sincerely, "Is there any room in your carriage? If you can fit it, then just wait a while. It's useless, you can take it back."
"They didn't take anything. There is room in the carriage. If you don't need it, give it to me. I won't be polite to you." The impoverished version of Prince Duan happily accepted it.
Li Huaixi went back to the house and coaxed the fat cat down with gentle words, then lay down on the floor and dragged the things out from under the bed, wanting Liu Quan to run errands again, Liu Quan waved his hands without raising his head, "I'm too busy here Come, go yourself."
Li Huaixi was so angry that he kicked his ass, and dragged the big bag to deliver things by himself. After a year of training, Liu Quan was still like this, except that he would call "Master" on his lips, other changes No.
He Chongwen came to Li Huaixi's room with his hands behind his back. Seeing Lin Yichen on the chair, he greeted with a smile, "My dear brother must be Huaixi's elder brother. I live next door to him. I'm He Chongwen."
Lin Yichen stood up and returned the salute, "So it's He Zhongcheng's young master, long-awaited, and Lin Yichen, Huaixi's senior brother, happened to be in Yuchuan on business, so I stopped by to pick him up."
"The Tanhua Lang back then? I have admired you for a long time. My father said that your articles are amazing and beautiful. It's just that you suffered from your age and gave up on Tanhua. I didn't expect Huaixi to be your junior. No wonder, no wonder! Who is the respected teacher? An expert?" He Chongwen was a rough-headed person, and at this moment he just remembered to ask Li Huaixi's teacher.
"The mentor is Mr. Yun Yin." Lin Yichen replied with a smile.
"Mr. Yunyin?!" He Chongwen was excited, "Mr. Yunyin is actually in your Jin County? My father has been looking for it for a long time!"
"Who have you been looking for for a long time?" Li Huaixi walked in from the door and said to He Chongwen, "Duan Zhengchun wants to dump some things for his brother. Don't you have a pile in your room? Find it and give it to him."
He Chongwen slapped his forehead, "That's right, I have a bunch at my place too. Brother Yi Chen, wait for me, I'll be here in a while, let's have a good chat."
He Chongwen turned and went out, Li Huaixi came in and changed his white Confucian clothes, which looked chilly in winter.
Lin Yichen stood up and helped him tie his belt, and whispered in his ear, "You are really rude to him."
"With whom?" Li Huaixi was a little strange.
"He Chongwen! You decide to give away his things."
"Careful! You have lived here yourself, and you still have to be polite among your classmates and friends? Do you think that everyone in the world is in love with six-year-olds like you!" Li Huaixi scolded Lin Yichen in a low voice, He grabbed his belt and tied it in a beautiful knot.
"Who is in love with you? I said it was an accident." Lin Yichen sat back with a dignified appearance. Liu Quan never had the consciousness of pouring water for the guests, and Li Huaixi didn't have tea here, so Lin Yichen poured himself a glass of boiled water.
After a while, He Chongwen came back again. He was a fan of Mr. Yunyin. He asked a lot of gossip about 'Mr. Yunyin' before he went back satisfied. However, their servants had been waiting outside for a long time.
Liu Quan also packed his things into a few crooked big bags. Lin Yichen called his servant up from the foot of the mountain. Liu Quan complained to Li Huaixi who was carrying the cat as he walked, "His servant is waiting at the foot of the mountain without saying anything. Call early to help me."
"Aren't you unwilling to use it?" Li Huaixi squinted at him.
"How long has it been? Remember, we were called up early and we went down the mountain early. After dinner, I still want to go to the theater." Liu Quan rolled his eyes. I have run out of things, and I have long since abandoned the original concept of "family status". This guy listened to a play during the Dragon Boat Festival and thought it was good, and he has been thinking about it for the past few months.
Li Huaixi looked at Liu Quan, who was like a meat ball, and regretted it for the thousand and first time, "I really shouldn't have signed your damn contract!"
"Anyway, you signed it." Liu Quan replied disapprovingly, and he also relied on Li Huaixi for the contract of sale.
After living in Yuchuan for three days, Lin Yichen finished his official business and took Li Huaixi back to Jin County. The heavy snow on the road delayed him for a day. When Li Huaixi arrived home, it was already the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and his sister's birthday was two days away.
Li Long has already arrived home, and the two brothers have grown a lot taller after not seeing each other for a year. After the new year, Li Long will be seventeen, and Li Huaixi will be 11.
The 17-year-old Li Long has already grown a beard, which is black and thick. Li Huaixi feels awkward no matter how he looks at it. He chases his brother to shave his beard, but his brother is not the magistrate of Lin County, so he doesn't listen to him. Beauty, say nothing willing to scrape.
"Next year my mother will marry you, if someone from the girl's family comes to see you, they might think you are 27!" Li Huaixi said with her lips curled up.
Li Hu stroked his beard and said triumphantly, "Don't worry about it! If you don't have what you don't have, you won't see others have it, so be careful. I told my mother, don't be in a hurry to say goodbye to me in the past two years, next year I want to try the Qiu Wei, but maybe I will be blindfolded."
Li Huaixi was very surprised when he heard this, "This is not like you, brother, you didn't use a handkerchief this time for the exam?"
"Look at me, I'm thinking about it. If I can't do it next year, I'll wait another three years. You don't know, there are several old scholars in the county school who are in their 40s and [-]s. They all just passed the exam. How old am I? .” Li Long looked completely enlightened.
Li Huaixi didn't expect Fan Jin and Kong Yiji to have such an inspirational effect, but there is still some time before Qiu Wei, and Li Long will know whether he is "greatly enlightened" or not.
After the New Year's Eve, Li Hu also went home, and the children in the village started to set off some firecrackers sporadically, as the New Year's Eve was approaching.
On the 28th day of the first year, Li Chengkui prepared his things and took his youngest son early in the morning to give new year gifts to several relatives.
The uncle’s house was the first to send the New Year’s gift. Grandma was so happy to see her grandson who was thinking about it day and night, she took out all the delicious food that had been saved for several months. Acting like a baby, he looked at the big gold bracelet on his grandma's wrist, and checked the gold hairpin on his head. He was afraid that his aunt would take it.
Grandma knew her grandson's narrow-mindedness well, smiled and pressed his hand, "Your aunt doesn't want it, she is just a bit stingy and not greedy. Besides, grandma will give her these things in the future anyway, she has served grandma for so many years , There is hard work without credit, and your mother and aunt are not short of this."
"Grandma, you live a long life, don't keep thinking about it, where is the material my father bought for you? Did you keep it again?"
"No, grandma hasn't made it yet. I don't like to work in summer. This winter, I'm afraid that sparks will splash on the material and burn it. I'll do it again in spring. I'll wear it when your cousin Cheng An gets married."
Li Huaixi recalled the letter his mother wrote during the Dragon Boat Festival, and asked curiously, "What kind of family does Cousin Cheng An choose? After the Dragon Boat Festival, I heard from my mother that she wants to get engaged."
The grandma looked outside and whispered to her grandson, "It's not decided. Your cousin quit and said he has someone else in his heart. I think this kid is also dreaming. I know all his little thoughts, and it won't work."
"You mean cousin Yan Ying?"
Grandma was taken aback, "Why do you know everything, you little thing, what did your mother say? No way, that Ma Daha came to celebrate my birthday one day late in summer, which made me angry for a day!" Grandma denied the little daughter possibility.
Li Huaixi felt ashamed for his mother, so he hurried back to the topic, "I met cousin Cheng An when I bought hairpins for you that year, and I helped choose the cherry blossom hairpin on cousin Yan Ying's head."
"It turns out that's the case, don't tell it. Your cousin and your aunt said it was given by your little sister. Your aunt said it was pretty." Grandma pulled out a few chestnuts from the brazier, not letting the almost 11-year-old The grandson did it by himself, and insisted on peeling it by himself. While peeling, he continued, "Your uncle, you know, how can he be a vegetarian? Who does he look up to our relatives here? I haven't seen it much for so many years." he."
"My father said to go to my aunt's house after sending off the second uncle and third uncle's house. I haven't been there yet."
"The threshold of their house is high, so it's enough to make your father feel good about it. Don't take anything your uncle says to heart, he's got ashes in his nose." Grandma stuffed the peeled chestnuts into her grandson's mouth.
Li Huaixi laughed as he ate, "My mother said that uncle catches rainwater in his nose."
"Little clever ghost." The grandparent and grandson laughed together.
The second uncle, the third uncle and the eldest uncle all live in the same village. The second uncle is not at home. He has been making furniture for others in the city and has not come back yet. The second aunt is alone at home playing with children in a large yard, with pots facing the sky and bowls facing the ground. The two left their things and came out. The second aunt chased him out and stuffed Li Huaixi with a small bag of peanuts, saying it was reserved for him. Li Huaixi smelled it and found that it was fried and very fragrant.
The third uncle and the third aunt were fighting in the yard, and they could hear it clearly through the courtyard door. Li Chengkui smiled wryly and asked Li Huaixi to knock on the door.
The third aunt had five fingerprints on her face, and she came over to serve tea in embarrassment. Li Chengkui looked down at his old cotton shoes, as if he could see the flowers on them. Huan came over to greet his uncle, Li Chengkui chatted with Cheng Huan with a smile, and the third aunt went out to cook on the pretext.
Cheng Huan was two years older than Li Huaixi, and on the thirteenth day of the new year, he went to school in a private school in the village.Cheng Huan and Li Huaixi were not familiar with each other, so they had nothing to talk about after asking a few questions about the academy.Li Chengkui wanted to go home before dark, so after sitting for a while, he called his son. After the two brothers separated, they both let out a sigh of relief.
42. Yan Ying, Yan Li
At noon, Li Chengkui took his son to eat at a restaurant in the city, and after eating and drinking enough, he drove the donkey cart to the rich family Yan's house in the south of the city. hungry son.
This is the first time for Li Huaixi to visit my aunt's house, and I feel very fresh. There are Chinese New Year couplets pasted on both sides of the dark gate, and the gatehouse is also very grand. After entering the gate, there is a courtyard with two entrances. It's a beautiful building like that, but it's not bad, it's much better than any of them.
Uncle Yan Shigui was at home, his first concubine's child was lost in the fight with the second concubine, and the second concubine's child was also lost in the fight with the first concubine, This unlucky man still only has two children, daughter Yan Ying and son Yan Li from his first wife.
Maybe it was because the Li family suddenly produced two talented people, which my uncle took a good look at. Li Chengkui came to give the New Year gift this time, and my uncle took out a pot of high-quality tea and made a pot of good tea, and the conversation became a little warmer.
After Yan Ying came to see the ceremony, she went back to the house. I haven't seen her for two years. This cousin of Li Huaixi has become more and more beautiful. Yan Shigui can see that she is also very precious. To please Li Huaixi, he was too silent and sentimental.
Yan Li didn't leave after seeing Li, and sat upright in a chair and talked with his uncle for a while. Li Huaixi felt that his cousin seemed in a good mood this time, and after a while, he led Li Huaixi to his room alone. He took out a beautiful paperweight, "I saw it in the summer, I guess you must like it, so I bought it, I never had a chance to give it to you, but fortunately you came today, otherwise I would have to bring it to you in the second year of junior high school. Go to grandma's house, uncle's house has too many children, I can't give it to you alone, I want to make it look like a thief. By the way, do you like the inkstone I gave you?"
"I like it. I've never been willing to use it. This paperweight is so beautiful." Li Huaixi lied without hesitation when he took the paperweight. He didn't even know which box Yan Li sent the inkstone in, but he really liked the one Yan Li bought. This glazed paperweight is clear inside and out, clean and flawless, shining brightly, and it is worth a lot of money at first glance.
"My mother said that you like these beautiful colors. Now it seems that I bought the right thing. Will you leave after the new year? Or after the first month?" Yan Li patted his head affectionately.
"Well, I don't leave until after the first month, and school starts on the eighth day of February." Li Huaixi was used to being touched, and didn't feel any difference, and still admired the glass paperweight.
"Then come to my house on the fifteenth day of this year, and I'll take you to see the lights."
"Ah?" Li Huaixi was stunned, and looked up at Yan Li. The 14-year-old Yan Li was half a head taller than him. He didn't know what his cousin was doing wrong. However, Li Huaixi is not very 'flattering', so he made a embarrassed expression and said, "Cousin, I'm afraid it won't work. I have to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady of the Lin family on the fifteenth day, and I have to go to the theater with her. It’s been that way for years.”
Yan Li looked a little disappointed, and the next best thing was to invite Li Huaixi, "That's it, do you come out to see the lantern? I'll wait for you in front of my shop."
Li Huaixi couldn't refuse, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go find you then, cousin Yan Ying? I think she's depressed."
Yan Li didn't care much about his sister, so he replied nonchalantly, "She's always like that, so she should go too, she's rarely been able to go out for the past two years."
Li Huaixi sat in Yan Li's room for a while. Although Yan Li learned to do business with the shopkeeper, there were a lot of books in the room. Li Huaixi flipped through the scripts and poetry collections a little bit, but unfortunately most of the themes are a bit too old-fashioned in his opinion.
Yan Li's painting was surprisingly good. Li Huaixi was bored, so he picked up a pen and wrote a small poem on one of the flowers and birds. Yan Li read it several times, couldn't put it down, and put it away alone.
After a while, Li Chengkui called Li Huaixi in the yard, and his uncle wanted to stay with the two of them for dinner. Li Chengkui said that he was afraid that the city gate would be closed at night and he would not be able to go out of the city, so he shied away and left early. Yan Li followed and sent them out. Pulling Li Huaixi and whispering, "Don't forget I'll be waiting for you on the fifteenth."
Li Huaixi got goosebumps all over his body from this whisper. He had some doubts that Yan Li had taken a fancy to him, but he thought it was impossible when he thought of the age of the two of them. Finally, when he thought of the doting of his two elder brothers at home, Li Huaixi was relieved. I took the mother's mirror and looked left and right for a long time, and finally admitted that I was indeed quite cute.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the Li family drove a donkey cart to pay New Year greetings to their grandma. Li Huaixi met his eldest cousin Cheng An again. Cheng An is 20 years old this year and looks more beautiful than when he was 15. Shopkeeper, the boss made new clothes for him, and he looks very talented.
The aunt brought Yan Ying and Yan Li to arrive before noon, but the uncle still didn't come.Yan Ying and Cheng An no longer sit quietly together like they did when they were young, Yan Ying sits quietly in the room talking with grandma, but anyone with long eyes can see what Cheng An is doing outside Yan Ying is in the room Everyone knew that when Cheng An got up, he tripped over the stool and said "Oops", and Yan Ying also shivered inside.
The children of each family have grown up in the past few years, except for a few young ones, the rest gather together and chat like adults. Yan Li is wearing a suit of newly made clothes for the Chinese New Year, and also wears a mask on his head. Jin Guan, he was sitting next to Li Huaixi, he didn't talk to Li Huaixi very much, but he was fiddling with some small bits and pieces hanging from Li Huaixi's waist, which made Li Huaixi feel embarrassed to stand up, and held back for a long time before going to the latrine together.
After returning home at night, Li Huaixi's mother sighed, "The eldest sister said that Yan Ying's marriage is not going well, this child suddenly became stubborn, no family is willing, Cheng An can wait for two years, but this Yan Ying is a girl But no, if it is not settled this year, people will not dare to come to the door."
Li Huaixi glanced at his mother, and really admired his mother's rough nerves. Among those women, his mother probably didn't see the matter of Cheng An and Yan Ying. The few jokes that the third aunt said today were half-truths and half-fakes. My aunt's face turned red with anger.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, my aunt unexpectedly came by herself. She grabbed Li Huaixi first when she entered the door, and carried her to his mother's room by the collar, "Huaixi, tell my aunt the truth, your cousin Yan Ying's cherry blossom hairpin is Didn't your cousin Cheng An buy it?"
"What's the matter, sister? What hairpin?" His mother didn't understand the situation, and she didn't hear it clearly. She thought her son had caused trouble again.
"What's the matter? It's driving me mad! Another matchmaker came to my house yesterday. I think the person I told you this time is really good. Like your Dalong, she is also a scholar in the county school. She is 21 this year. , the family background is good, the character is good, these days the county school holidays are at home, the matchmaker said that she is not afraid of seeing each other, she must be good-looking if she is not afraid of seeing each other, isn't this good? Yingzi quit! I will earnestly My persuasion, is it okay if I go to see each other first? This damn girl knelt down for me, saying that she has someone in her heart, and no one wants it!"
"Is someone there? Who is it?" His mother really didn't hear clearly.
"Cheng An!"
"Ah?!" Li Huaixi's mother's mouth suddenly opened to the point where an egg could be stuffed in. It seems that she really didn't know before, but Li Huaixi rolled her eyes and completely convinced his mother.
The aunt let go of Li Huaixi, and she was so angry that she began to cry, "What is the elder brother's family like, do you think I still don't know? I have helped them a lot in these years, otherwise I wouldn't have been beaten all the time before, and now I still don't know about it." I didn't dare to say it, but your brother-in-law must be in a hurry, isn't this a white-eyed wolf? Thinking of tricking my daughter into their house, and then continue to eat our food and drink ours?"
"Sister, what are you talking about? You have confused me, Li Huaixi, you are still blinking your eyes and still not going out?! You are everywhere."
"No, your little bastard knows everything. He chose the hairpin just by watching him, and he didn't tell us when he came back." The aunt grabbed Li Huaixi again.
"That was not given by my son. If you don't go to the eldest brother's house, why did you come to our house? Don't be unreasonable. My son's little neck makes you red." At the critical moment, Li Huaixi's mother was still very caring. Looking at his son, he hugged his son, and blew on his neck in distress after the examination, itching made Li Huaixi giggle, his mother pinched him to shut him up, and whispered, "Don't look at the time, How about waiting for your aunt to whip you?"
The aunt didn't smack him, she rubbed her chest and sat on the chair, her eyebrows were all knit together, "How can I go to the eldest brother's house?! If you talk about it, do you think this relationship is knot or not, knot, I have to die unjustly, don’t give up, you haven’t seen our Yan Ying’s dead appearance, ouch, but I’m going to piss me off! Ouch, I’m so angry that my heart hurts! I’m so pissed off, this dead girl, what? Don't even listen!"
"Go get your aunt some water." His mother gave her son a wink. Li Huaixi straightened his neck and went out. He didn't expect that it was revealed from Yan Ying. His cousin has always been like Lin Daiyu It seems that she didn't expect to have the courage to break the boat, but she underestimated her.
When he finished making the tea and went in again, the auntie was much calmer, took a sip of the tea, "This kiss can't be married, and you can't get married no matter what, this Cheng An is a shopkeeper no matter what, we Yan Ying If you marry him, you will never want to live a good life again!"
"You can't say that, sister, what is a good life? Is your own good life? Don't look at me like that. I don't know anything about us sisters and one mother. Cheng An is just 20 years old this year. Take a look in our Jin County, how many 20-year-old second shopkeepers are there? You can’t count with five fingers! Over the years, we know everything, what kind of eldest brother and sister-in-law, what kind of Cheng An, we all know, although in the past It’s hard, but these 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, don’t you know what our mother and I lived a few years ago? People, you can’t just look at your eyes.”
"According to what you say, are you willing to make this marriage?" The aunt gave her sister a look.
"Look at what you said, it doesn't matter if I want it or not, don't talk about me, it's you, what can I do if I want it or not?! What are you going to do with your Yan Shigui? Think about it yourself, don't worry, Let's see what Yan Ying has become here first. If you are looking for death and life, you will have a headache. Your heart hurts now, it's too early! I'll go to my elder brother and sister-in-law to find out and see Cheng An's thoughts, this kid, just talk about yourself There is someone in my heart, even my little girl is hiding it, and I love him for nothing!" Li Huaixi's mother was angry, she was not married when Cheng An was born, and apart from her own children, she really preferred Cheng An the most among these children.
After the aunt left, Cheng called her youngest son to him, twisted his ears and asked, "Is there anything in this world that you don't know about?! You are strict enough, so why don't you talk to me first?" Son? It’s fun to see your mother acting like a fool?!”
"Mother, how can I talk nonsense about things that don't leave a word? Let go of my ears. It's winter, and I'll take them off!" His mother let go, and Li Huaixi rubbed his ears while saying, "You think it's today's aunt? Did you know it? She also knew it a long time ago, but she kept suppressing it. She is much smarter than you, but this is troublesome, and my uncle will definitely not be able to get through."
"Of course, he'd be damned if he agreed, and this time the matchmaker was pretty good. Even if Cheng An wasn't there before, your cousin wouldn't be willing. They're all businessmen like him. What do I think of him? It doesn't look at the conditions, it just depends on how much dowry the man can offer." His mother held the sole of the shoe viciously, she had already completely denied her eldest brother-in-law.
Li Huaixi somewhat disagreed, "Mother, what's wrong with the businessman? You can't look at it that way, the second brother will also be a businessman in the future, so why can't he marry a wife?" He thinks his uncle is good to his children, and he doesn't think it's good to find a What's wrong with a businessman getting married.
"Your second brother is your second brother, don't leave me here to disturb you, go read your book, I guess it's time to pick you up again on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, you don't give up!"
"Undead" came earlier than his mother expected, on the afternoon of the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Mrs. Cheng called the magistrate, but there were too many white eyes flying around, and they didn't even serve tea. Lin Yichen was sitting in Li Huaixi's room waiting for him to pack his things, laughing while teasing Fat Mao, "Your mother must be very disappointed, does she think I won't come this year?"
"No, she thinks you have to come the day after tomorrow, you came early."
"What do you think? Did I come early or late? Do you miss me?" Lin Yichen put his arms around Li Huaixi, just about to make a move, when he heard the doorknob in the main room, he quickly let go, and walked to the door as if nothing had happened. In front of the table, he picked up the paperweight Yan Li gave him and looked at it, "This paperweight is very pretty, I didn't give it to you, did you buy it yourself? Are you a cheapskate and you can spend your own money?"
Li Huaixi glanced back, and suddenly remembered something, "Lin Yichen, how old were you when you knew you liked men?" Cheng An and Yan Ying had already started flirting when he was six years old, and they were only fifteen or fifteen years old at that time. At thirteen, he thought of the 14-year-old Yan Li, and suddenly felt that his earlier guess was somewhat reliable.
Lin Yichen didn't expect the little fox to ask this question suddenly, weighed the feasibility of lying, and chose to tell the truth, "13 years old."
Li Huaixi was shocked. When he was 13 years old in his previous life, it was still a piece of paper covered with black lines by his master. It turned out that the ancients had already divided it into several kinds of pink!However, Li Huaixi suddenly thought of another question, stared at County Magistrate Lin and asked, "Who did you like at that time?"
Lin Yichen was a little embarrassed, but he still answered, "A classmate of mine was one year older than me when he was in Yuchuan Academy." (Young, the county magistrate has no experience)
"Then what happened afterwards?" Li Huaixi asked calmly with raised eyebrows. In fact, the fire that ignited in his heart had already burned to the top of his head.
Lin Yichen didn't notice the danger, and continued to answer logically, "Then my father suddenly disappeared, so I went home and never saw him again."
"I've never seen it before, but I still remember it so clearly. The feeling is so deep! Who else have you liked in these years? Mr. Ma or Mr. Xu? You, forget it, I won't ask, now you get out, hurry up, get out Get out!" Li Huaixi suddenly raised the volume of the last three words, which made Lin Yichen tremble.
Lin Yichen felt extremely wronged, and at the same time couldn't figure out why the little fox suddenly remembered this, and rushed to Li Huaixi in three steps at a time, and hugged the furry little fox, "Hold down, your mother thought What did I do to you! Ancestor, I still remember the horoscope of my nanny’s birthday when I was two years old. What does that mean? I finally rolled over in a snowy day, and you have the heart to let me roll back empty-handed? Don’t be angry. Angry, how old is the old almanac, have you tidied it up? Forget it, don’t tidy it up, I have prepared it for you, go away, don’t be angry, don’t be angry, I like you the most, I No one likes it..." (The last sentence is wrong again)
Li Huaixi was tied to the carriage with his mouth covered, and the fat cat jumped onto Lin Yichen's shoulder automatically. Before Li Chengkui could wait to "send off the county magistrate", Lin Yichen's carriage quickly left Li's house. The groom suspected that his son had changed his career I became a bandit, so I drove the carriage very fast all the way.
"Fuck book! I'll draw a book for you, do you want to read it?! Get up, isn't there a chair over there? Sit on the chair and let others look at you like a decent person!"
"I'm a decent person. We'll stay in Yuchuan for two or three days. I'm going to report on my duties to Mr. Fu Yin. You and Liu Quan have a good time shopping these few days. The New Year's goods here are more refined than ours in Jinxian County. It's better to go back. The carriage of goods will not be broken." Lin Yichen tried his best to show his seriousness.
Li Huaixi glanced at him sideways, "Has my second brother gone home yet? It's almost Chinese New Year."
"It doesn't seem to be the case. Mr. Accountant doesn't return home until the end of the year, but when I came out, the county school was already on holiday, and your eldest brother went home." Lin Yichen finished his clothes, but he was still sitting on the bed. There was a faint smell of Li Huaixi, and he was a little reluctant to leave.
After a while, Liu Quan came back with the fat cat in his arms. The fat cat broke out of Liu Quan's arms and jumped onto Li Huaixi's shoulder, causing him to stagger.
Li Huaixi concentrated on dealing with the coquettish fat cat, and turned to tell Liu Quan, "Take all the clothes, I won't be able to wear them next year when I'm too young, go back and let my mother put them away. You don't need to bring so many small things, just lock them up." That's fine, I don't like the pearl tiara you sent last time, it's too feminine." The last sentence was addressed to Lin Yichen.
"If you don't like it, don't wear it. Isn't there so many more?" Lin Yichen stretched out the messed-up bed sheet, and then pretended to sit on the chair. Li Huaixi carried his cat to meet Prince Duan. , He Dashao said goodbye.
Prince Duan plans to go back in a carriage with his fellow countrymen this time. He is usually very frugal. In addition to buying some extra rice paper with the monthly money sent by the court, he even used his own inkstones to break the broken inkstones. He said repeatedly that several people rented a car together before he agreed.
Prince Duan was packing up his things at home, when he saw Li Huaixi coming in, he asked with a smile, "Is that your brother? He must miss you very much." Just now he and Li Huaixi entered the door together, and Lin Yichen just nodded slightly. Holding Li Huaixi into the room, neither of them spoke.
"He's not my elder brother, the magistrate of our county, my senior brother." Li Huaixi felt that Lin Yichen was ashamed, looked at Duan Zhengchun's packed luggage, and changed the subject, "You want to take it all back?" Everything that came down was put on.
Duan Zhengchun nodded, "There is a younger brother in my family who is also studying. I will bring things back to him so that the family can save a bit."
Li Huaixi thought of a lot of things under his bed. He didn’t need the quilts, pens, inks, papers and inkstones issued by the academy. What he used were all sent by Lin Yichen. space, so at this time Li Huaixi was very generous once, and he asked Prince Duan sincerely, "Is there any room in your carriage? If you can fit it, then just wait a while. It's useless, you can take it back."
"They didn't take anything. There is room in the carriage. If you don't need it, give it to me. I won't be polite to you." The impoverished version of Prince Duan happily accepted it.
Li Huaixi went back to the house and coaxed the fat cat down with gentle words, then lay down on the floor and dragged the things out from under the bed, wanting Liu Quan to run errands again, Liu Quan waved his hands without raising his head, "I'm too busy here Come, go yourself."
Li Huaixi was so angry that he kicked his ass, and dragged the big bag to deliver things by himself. After a year of training, Liu Quan was still like this, except that he would call "Master" on his lips, other changes No.
He Chongwen came to Li Huaixi's room with his hands behind his back. Seeing Lin Yichen on the chair, he greeted with a smile, "My dear brother must be Huaixi's elder brother. I live next door to him. I'm He Chongwen."
Lin Yichen stood up and returned the salute, "So it's He Zhongcheng's young master, long-awaited, and Lin Yichen, Huaixi's senior brother, happened to be in Yuchuan on business, so I stopped by to pick him up."
"The Tanhua Lang back then? I have admired you for a long time. My father said that your articles are amazing and beautiful. It's just that you suffered from your age and gave up on Tanhua. I didn't expect Huaixi to be your junior. No wonder, no wonder! Who is the respected teacher? An expert?" He Chongwen was a rough-headed person, and at this moment he just remembered to ask Li Huaixi's teacher.
"The mentor is Mr. Yun Yin." Lin Yichen replied with a smile.
"Mr. Yunyin?!" He Chongwen was excited, "Mr. Yunyin is actually in your Jin County? My father has been looking for it for a long time!"
"Who have you been looking for for a long time?" Li Huaixi walked in from the door and said to He Chongwen, "Duan Zhengchun wants to dump some things for his brother. Don't you have a pile in your room? Find it and give it to him."
He Chongwen slapped his forehead, "That's right, I have a bunch at my place too. Brother Yi Chen, wait for me, I'll be here in a while, let's have a good chat."
He Chongwen turned and went out, Li Huaixi came in and changed his white Confucian clothes, which looked chilly in winter.
Lin Yichen stood up and helped him tie his belt, and whispered in his ear, "You are really rude to him."
"With whom?" Li Huaixi was a little strange.
"He Chongwen! You decide to give away his things."
"Careful! You have lived here yourself, and you still have to be polite among your classmates and friends? Do you think that everyone in the world is in love with six-year-olds like you!" Li Huaixi scolded Lin Yichen in a low voice, He grabbed his belt and tied it in a beautiful knot.
"Who is in love with you? I said it was an accident." Lin Yichen sat back with a dignified appearance. Liu Quan never had the consciousness of pouring water for the guests, and Li Huaixi didn't have tea here, so Lin Yichen poured himself a glass of boiled water.
After a while, He Chongwen came back again. He was a fan of Mr. Yunyin. He asked a lot of gossip about 'Mr. Yunyin' before he went back satisfied. However, their servants had been waiting outside for a long time.
Liu Quan also packed his things into a few crooked big bags. Lin Yichen called his servant up from the foot of the mountain. Liu Quan complained to Li Huaixi who was carrying the cat as he walked, "His servant is waiting at the foot of the mountain without saying anything. Call early to help me."
"Aren't you unwilling to use it?" Li Huaixi squinted at him.
"How long has it been? Remember, we were called up early and we went down the mountain early. After dinner, I still want to go to the theater." Liu Quan rolled his eyes. I have run out of things, and I have long since abandoned the original concept of "family status". This guy listened to a play during the Dragon Boat Festival and thought it was good, and he has been thinking about it for the past few months.
Li Huaixi looked at Liu Quan, who was like a meat ball, and regretted it for the thousand and first time, "I really shouldn't have signed your damn contract!"
"Anyway, you signed it." Liu Quan replied disapprovingly, and he also relied on Li Huaixi for the contract of sale.
After living in Yuchuan for three days, Lin Yichen finished his official business and took Li Huaixi back to Jin County. The heavy snow on the road delayed him for a day. When Li Huaixi arrived home, it was already the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and his sister's birthday was two days away.
Li Long has already arrived home, and the two brothers have grown a lot taller after not seeing each other for a year. After the new year, Li Long will be seventeen, and Li Huaixi will be 11.
The 17-year-old Li Long has already grown a beard, which is black and thick. Li Huaixi feels awkward no matter how he looks at it. He chases his brother to shave his beard, but his brother is not the magistrate of Lin County, so he doesn't listen to him. Beauty, say nothing willing to scrape.
"Next year my mother will marry you, if someone from the girl's family comes to see you, they might think you are 27!" Li Huaixi said with her lips curled up.
Li Hu stroked his beard and said triumphantly, "Don't worry about it! If you don't have what you don't have, you won't see others have it, so be careful. I told my mother, don't be in a hurry to say goodbye to me in the past two years, next year I want to try the Qiu Wei, but maybe I will be blindfolded."
Li Huaixi was very surprised when he heard this, "This is not like you, brother, you didn't use a handkerchief this time for the exam?"
"Look at me, I'm thinking about it. If I can't do it next year, I'll wait another three years. You don't know, there are several old scholars in the county school who are in their 40s and [-]s. They all just passed the exam. How old am I? .” Li Long looked completely enlightened.
Li Huaixi didn't expect Fan Jin and Kong Yiji to have such an inspirational effect, but there is still some time before Qiu Wei, and Li Long will know whether he is "greatly enlightened" or not.
After the New Year's Eve, Li Hu also went home, and the children in the village started to set off some firecrackers sporadically, as the New Year's Eve was approaching.
On the 28th day of the first year, Li Chengkui prepared his things and took his youngest son early in the morning to give new year gifts to several relatives.
The uncle’s house was the first to send the New Year’s gift. Grandma was so happy to see her grandson who was thinking about it day and night, she took out all the delicious food that had been saved for several months. Acting like a baby, he looked at the big gold bracelet on his grandma's wrist, and checked the gold hairpin on his head. He was afraid that his aunt would take it.
Grandma knew her grandson's narrow-mindedness well, smiled and pressed his hand, "Your aunt doesn't want it, she is just a bit stingy and not greedy. Besides, grandma will give her these things in the future anyway, she has served grandma for so many years , There is hard work without credit, and your mother and aunt are not short of this."
"Grandma, you live a long life, don't keep thinking about it, where is the material my father bought for you? Did you keep it again?"
"No, grandma hasn't made it yet. I don't like to work in summer. This winter, I'm afraid that sparks will splash on the material and burn it. I'll do it again in spring. I'll wear it when your cousin Cheng An gets married."
Li Huaixi recalled the letter his mother wrote during the Dragon Boat Festival, and asked curiously, "What kind of family does Cousin Cheng An choose? After the Dragon Boat Festival, I heard from my mother that she wants to get engaged."
The grandma looked outside and whispered to her grandson, "It's not decided. Your cousin quit and said he has someone else in his heart. I think this kid is also dreaming. I know all his little thoughts, and it won't work."
"You mean cousin Yan Ying?"
Grandma was taken aback, "Why do you know everything, you little thing, what did your mother say? No way, that Ma Daha came to celebrate my birthday one day late in summer, which made me angry for a day!" Grandma denied the little daughter possibility.
Li Huaixi felt ashamed for his mother, so he hurried back to the topic, "I met cousin Cheng An when I bought hairpins for you that year, and I helped choose the cherry blossom hairpin on cousin Yan Ying's head."
"It turns out that's the case, don't tell it. Your cousin and your aunt said it was given by your little sister. Your aunt said it was pretty." Grandma pulled out a few chestnuts from the brazier, not letting the almost 11-year-old The grandson did it by himself, and insisted on peeling it by himself. While peeling, he continued, "Your uncle, you know, how can he be a vegetarian? Who does he look up to our relatives here? I haven't seen it much for so many years." he."
"My father said to go to my aunt's house after sending off the second uncle and third uncle's house. I haven't been there yet."
"The threshold of their house is high, so it's enough to make your father feel good about it. Don't take anything your uncle says to heart, he's got ashes in his nose." Grandma stuffed the peeled chestnuts into her grandson's mouth.
Li Huaixi laughed as he ate, "My mother said that uncle catches rainwater in his nose."
"Little clever ghost." The grandparent and grandson laughed together.
The second uncle, the third uncle and the eldest uncle all live in the same village. The second uncle is not at home. He has been making furniture for others in the city and has not come back yet. The second aunt is alone at home playing with children in a large yard, with pots facing the sky and bowls facing the ground. The two left their things and came out. The second aunt chased him out and stuffed Li Huaixi with a small bag of peanuts, saying it was reserved for him. Li Huaixi smelled it and found that it was fried and very fragrant.
The third uncle and the third aunt were fighting in the yard, and they could hear it clearly through the courtyard door. Li Chengkui smiled wryly and asked Li Huaixi to knock on the door.
The third aunt had five fingerprints on her face, and she came over to serve tea in embarrassment. Li Chengkui looked down at his old cotton shoes, as if he could see the flowers on them. Huan came over to greet his uncle, Li Chengkui chatted with Cheng Huan with a smile, and the third aunt went out to cook on the pretext.
Cheng Huan was two years older than Li Huaixi, and on the thirteenth day of the new year, he went to school in a private school in the village.Cheng Huan and Li Huaixi were not familiar with each other, so they had nothing to talk about after asking a few questions about the academy.Li Chengkui wanted to go home before dark, so after sitting for a while, he called his son. After the two brothers separated, they both let out a sigh of relief.
42. Yan Ying, Yan Li
At noon, Li Chengkui took his son to eat at a restaurant in the city, and after eating and drinking enough, he drove the donkey cart to the rich family Yan's house in the south of the city. hungry son.
This is the first time for Li Huaixi to visit my aunt's house, and I feel very fresh. There are Chinese New Year couplets pasted on both sides of the dark gate, and the gatehouse is also very grand. After entering the gate, there is a courtyard with two entrances. It's a beautiful building like that, but it's not bad, it's much better than any of them.
Uncle Yan Shigui was at home, his first concubine's child was lost in the fight with the second concubine, and the second concubine's child was also lost in the fight with the first concubine, This unlucky man still only has two children, daughter Yan Ying and son Yan Li from his first wife.
Maybe it was because the Li family suddenly produced two talented people, which my uncle took a good look at. Li Chengkui came to give the New Year gift this time, and my uncle took out a pot of high-quality tea and made a pot of good tea, and the conversation became a little warmer.
After Yan Ying came to see the ceremony, she went back to the house. I haven't seen her for two years. This cousin of Li Huaixi has become more and more beautiful. Yan Shigui can see that she is also very precious. To please Li Huaixi, he was too silent and sentimental.
Yan Li didn't leave after seeing Li, and sat upright in a chair and talked with his uncle for a while. Li Huaixi felt that his cousin seemed in a good mood this time, and after a while, he led Li Huaixi to his room alone. He took out a beautiful paperweight, "I saw it in the summer, I guess you must like it, so I bought it, I never had a chance to give it to you, but fortunately you came today, otherwise I would have to bring it to you in the second year of junior high school. Go to grandma's house, uncle's house has too many children, I can't give it to you alone, I want to make it look like a thief. By the way, do you like the inkstone I gave you?"
"I like it. I've never been willing to use it. This paperweight is so beautiful." Li Huaixi lied without hesitation when he took the paperweight. He didn't even know which box Yan Li sent the inkstone in, but he really liked the one Yan Li bought. This glazed paperweight is clear inside and out, clean and flawless, shining brightly, and it is worth a lot of money at first glance.
"My mother said that you like these beautiful colors. Now it seems that I bought the right thing. Will you leave after the new year? Or after the first month?" Yan Li patted his head affectionately.
"Well, I don't leave until after the first month, and school starts on the eighth day of February." Li Huaixi was used to being touched, and didn't feel any difference, and still admired the glass paperweight.
"Then come to my house on the fifteenth day of this year, and I'll take you to see the lights."
"Ah?" Li Huaixi was stunned, and looked up at Yan Li. The 14-year-old Yan Li was half a head taller than him. He didn't know what his cousin was doing wrong. However, Li Huaixi is not very 'flattering', so he made a embarrassed expression and said, "Cousin, I'm afraid it won't work. I have to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady of the Lin family on the fifteenth day, and I have to go to the theater with her. It’s been that way for years.”
Yan Li looked a little disappointed, and the next best thing was to invite Li Huaixi, "That's it, do you come out to see the lantern? I'll wait for you in front of my shop."
Li Huaixi couldn't refuse, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go find you then, cousin Yan Ying? I think she's depressed."
Yan Li didn't care much about his sister, so he replied nonchalantly, "She's always like that, so she should go too, she's rarely been able to go out for the past two years."
Li Huaixi sat in Yan Li's room for a while. Although Yan Li learned to do business with the shopkeeper, there were a lot of books in the room. Li Huaixi flipped through the scripts and poetry collections a little bit, but unfortunately most of the themes are a bit too old-fashioned in his opinion.
Yan Li's painting was surprisingly good. Li Huaixi was bored, so he picked up a pen and wrote a small poem on one of the flowers and birds. Yan Li read it several times, couldn't put it down, and put it away alone.
After a while, Li Chengkui called Li Huaixi in the yard, and his uncle wanted to stay with the two of them for dinner. Li Chengkui said that he was afraid that the city gate would be closed at night and he would not be able to go out of the city, so he shied away and left early. Yan Li followed and sent them out. Pulling Li Huaixi and whispering, "Don't forget I'll be waiting for you on the fifteenth."
Li Huaixi got goosebumps all over his body from this whisper. He had some doubts that Yan Li had taken a fancy to him, but he thought it was impossible when he thought of the age of the two of them. Finally, when he thought of the doting of his two elder brothers at home, Li Huaixi was relieved. I took the mother's mirror and looked left and right for a long time, and finally admitted that I was indeed quite cute.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the Li family drove a donkey cart to pay New Year greetings to their grandma. Li Huaixi met his eldest cousin Cheng An again. Cheng An is 20 years old this year and looks more beautiful than when he was 15. Shopkeeper, the boss made new clothes for him, and he looks very talented.
The aunt brought Yan Ying and Yan Li to arrive before noon, but the uncle still didn't come.Yan Ying and Cheng An no longer sit quietly together like they did when they were young, Yan Ying sits quietly in the room talking with grandma, but anyone with long eyes can see what Cheng An is doing outside Yan Ying is in the room Everyone knew that when Cheng An got up, he tripped over the stool and said "Oops", and Yan Ying also shivered inside.
The children of each family have grown up in the past few years, except for a few young ones, the rest gather together and chat like adults. Yan Li is wearing a suit of newly made clothes for the Chinese New Year, and also wears a mask on his head. Jin Guan, he was sitting next to Li Huaixi, he didn't talk to Li Huaixi very much, but he was fiddling with some small bits and pieces hanging from Li Huaixi's waist, which made Li Huaixi feel embarrassed to stand up, and held back for a long time before going to the latrine together.
After returning home at night, Li Huaixi's mother sighed, "The eldest sister said that Yan Ying's marriage is not going well, this child suddenly became stubborn, no family is willing, Cheng An can wait for two years, but this Yan Ying is a girl But no, if it is not settled this year, people will not dare to come to the door."
Li Huaixi glanced at his mother, and really admired his mother's rough nerves. Among those women, his mother probably didn't see the matter of Cheng An and Yan Ying. The few jokes that the third aunt said today were half-truths and half-fakes. My aunt's face turned red with anger.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, my aunt unexpectedly came by herself. She grabbed Li Huaixi first when she entered the door, and carried her to his mother's room by the collar, "Huaixi, tell my aunt the truth, your cousin Yan Ying's cherry blossom hairpin is Didn't your cousin Cheng An buy it?"
"What's the matter, sister? What hairpin?" His mother didn't understand the situation, and she didn't hear it clearly. She thought her son had caused trouble again.
"What's the matter? It's driving me mad! Another matchmaker came to my house yesterday. I think the person I told you this time is really good. Like your Dalong, she is also a scholar in the county school. She is 21 this year. , the family background is good, the character is good, these days the county school holidays are at home, the matchmaker said that she is not afraid of seeing each other, she must be good-looking if she is not afraid of seeing each other, isn't this good? Yingzi quit! I will earnestly My persuasion, is it okay if I go to see each other first? This damn girl knelt down for me, saying that she has someone in her heart, and no one wants it!"
"Is someone there? Who is it?" His mother really didn't hear clearly.
"Cheng An!"
"Ah?!" Li Huaixi's mother's mouth suddenly opened to the point where an egg could be stuffed in. It seems that she really didn't know before, but Li Huaixi rolled her eyes and completely convinced his mother.
The aunt let go of Li Huaixi, and she was so angry that she began to cry, "What is the elder brother's family like, do you think I still don't know? I have helped them a lot in these years, otherwise I wouldn't have been beaten all the time before, and now I still don't know about it." I didn't dare to say it, but your brother-in-law must be in a hurry, isn't this a white-eyed wolf? Thinking of tricking my daughter into their house, and then continue to eat our food and drink ours?"
"Sister, what are you talking about? You have confused me, Li Huaixi, you are still blinking your eyes and still not going out?! You are everywhere."
"No, your little bastard knows everything. He chose the hairpin just by watching him, and he didn't tell us when he came back." The aunt grabbed Li Huaixi again.
"That was not given by my son. If you don't go to the eldest brother's house, why did you come to our house? Don't be unreasonable. My son's little neck makes you red." At the critical moment, Li Huaixi's mother was still very caring. Looking at his son, he hugged his son, and blew on his neck in distress after the examination, itching made Li Huaixi giggle, his mother pinched him to shut him up, and whispered, "Don't look at the time, How about waiting for your aunt to whip you?"
The aunt didn't smack him, she rubbed her chest and sat on the chair, her eyebrows were all knit together, "How can I go to the eldest brother's house?! If you talk about it, do you think this relationship is knot or not, knot, I have to die unjustly, don’t give up, you haven’t seen our Yan Ying’s dead appearance, ouch, but I’m going to piss me off! Ouch, I’m so angry that my heart hurts! I’m so pissed off, this dead girl, what? Don't even listen!"
"Go get your aunt some water." His mother gave her son a wink. Li Huaixi straightened his neck and went out. He didn't expect that it was revealed from Yan Ying. His cousin has always been like Lin Daiyu It seems that she didn't expect to have the courage to break the boat, but she underestimated her.
When he finished making the tea and went in again, the auntie was much calmer, took a sip of the tea, "This kiss can't be married, and you can't get married no matter what, this Cheng An is a shopkeeper no matter what, we Yan Ying If you marry him, you will never want to live a good life again!"
"You can't say that, sister, what is a good life? Is your own good life? Don't look at me like that. I don't know anything about us sisters and one mother. Cheng An is just 20 years old this year. Take a look in our Jin County, how many 20-year-old second shopkeepers are there? You can’t count with five fingers! Over the years, we know everything, what kind of eldest brother and sister-in-law, what kind of Cheng An, we all know, although in the past It’s hard, but these 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, don’t you know what our mother and I lived a few years ago? People, you can’t just look at your eyes.”
"According to what you say, are you willing to make this marriage?" The aunt gave her sister a look.
"Look at what you said, it doesn't matter if I want it or not, don't talk about me, it's you, what can I do if I want it or not?! What are you going to do with your Yan Shigui? Think about it yourself, don't worry, Let's see what Yan Ying has become here first. If you are looking for death and life, you will have a headache. Your heart hurts now, it's too early! I'll go to my elder brother and sister-in-law to find out and see Cheng An's thoughts, this kid, just talk about yourself There is someone in my heart, even my little girl is hiding it, and I love him for nothing!" Li Huaixi's mother was angry, she was not married when Cheng An was born, and apart from her own children, she really preferred Cheng An the most among these children.
After the aunt left, Cheng called her youngest son to him, twisted his ears and asked, "Is there anything in this world that you don't know about?! You are strict enough, so why don't you talk to me first?" Son? It’s fun to see your mother acting like a fool?!”
"Mother, how can I talk nonsense about things that don't leave a word? Let go of my ears. It's winter, and I'll take them off!" His mother let go, and Li Huaixi rubbed his ears while saying, "You think it's today's aunt? Did you know it? She also knew it a long time ago, but she kept suppressing it. She is much smarter than you, but this is troublesome, and my uncle will definitely not be able to get through."
"Of course, he'd be damned if he agreed, and this time the matchmaker was pretty good. Even if Cheng An wasn't there before, your cousin wouldn't be willing. They're all businessmen like him. What do I think of him? It doesn't look at the conditions, it just depends on how much dowry the man can offer." His mother held the sole of the shoe viciously, she had already completely denied her eldest brother-in-law.
Li Huaixi somewhat disagreed, "Mother, what's wrong with the businessman? You can't look at it that way, the second brother will also be a businessman in the future, so why can't he marry a wife?" He thinks his uncle is good to his children, and he doesn't think it's good to find a What's wrong with a businessman getting married.
"Your second brother is your second brother, don't leave me here to disturb you, go read your book, I guess it's time to pick you up again on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, you don't give up!"
"Undead" came earlier than his mother expected, on the afternoon of the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Mrs. Cheng called the magistrate, but there were too many white eyes flying around, and they didn't even serve tea. Lin Yichen was sitting in Li Huaixi's room waiting for him to pack his things, laughing while teasing Fat Mao, "Your mother must be very disappointed, does she think I won't come this year?"
"No, she thinks you have to come the day after tomorrow, you came early."
"What do you think? Did I come early or late? Do you miss me?" Lin Yichen put his arms around Li Huaixi, just about to make a move, when he heard the doorknob in the main room, he quickly let go, and walked to the door as if nothing had happened. In front of the table, he picked up the paperweight Yan Li gave him and looked at it, "This paperweight is very pretty, I didn't give it to you, did you buy it yourself? Are you a cheapskate and you can spend your own money?"
Li Huaixi glanced back, and suddenly remembered something, "Lin Yichen, how old were you when you knew you liked men?" Cheng An and Yan Ying had already started flirting when he was six years old, and they were only fifteen or fifteen years old at that time. At thirteen, he thought of the 14-year-old Yan Li, and suddenly felt that his earlier guess was somewhat reliable.
Lin Yichen didn't expect the little fox to ask this question suddenly, weighed the feasibility of lying, and chose to tell the truth, "13 years old."
Li Huaixi was shocked. When he was 13 years old in his previous life, it was still a piece of paper covered with black lines by his master. It turned out that the ancients had already divided it into several kinds of pink!However, Li Huaixi suddenly thought of another question, stared at County Magistrate Lin and asked, "Who did you like at that time?"
Lin Yichen was a little embarrassed, but he still answered, "A classmate of mine was one year older than me when he was in Yuchuan Academy." (Young, the county magistrate has no experience)
"Then what happened afterwards?" Li Huaixi asked calmly with raised eyebrows. In fact, the fire that ignited in his heart had already burned to the top of his head.
Lin Yichen didn't notice the danger, and continued to answer logically, "Then my father suddenly disappeared, so I went home and never saw him again."
"I've never seen it before, but I still remember it so clearly. The feeling is so deep! Who else have you liked in these years? Mr. Ma or Mr. Xu? You, forget it, I won't ask, now you get out, hurry up, get out Get out!" Li Huaixi suddenly raised the volume of the last three words, which made Lin Yichen tremble.
Lin Yichen felt extremely wronged, and at the same time couldn't figure out why the little fox suddenly remembered this, and rushed to Li Huaixi in three steps at a time, and hugged the furry little fox, "Hold down, your mother thought What did I do to you! Ancestor, I still remember the horoscope of my nanny’s birthday when I was two years old. What does that mean? I finally rolled over in a snowy day, and you have the heart to let me roll back empty-handed? Don’t be angry. Angry, how old is the old almanac, have you tidied it up?
