The little girl Wang Can wanted to marry him, not because she liked him, but because she wanted to grow up with his two nieces, and he just met the criteria for mate selection!
Forget it, just pretend you don’t know, so as not to be embarrassed when you see each other later.
After all, he is going to be a escort tomorrow, so we can wait until he gets back to talk about anything else!
Xie Yanzhi and Yang Gaowu came here with Li Jun's ox cart at almost noon.
Returning with them were the green tiles on three bullock carts.
Old Man Li and Li Qinghua stepped forward and looked at each tile carefully, confirming that the quality was good, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Junzi, the tiles today are good. They are slightly thicker than what everyone usually buys."
Li Jun smiled and said: "The young master of Wayao is familiar with Brother Xie. The goods we got this time are good, but the price is the same as what everyone usually buys. It's all thanks to Brother Xie."
Li Jun has been away from home for the past few years and rarely comes back. Even if there are, most of them are accompanied by friends.
Everyone in Lijiaao knew Xie Yanzhi and Yang Gaowu, so when they heard Li Jun's words, everyone looked at Xie Yanzhi with hot and pitiful eyes.
They respected scholars and admired him greatly when they knew that he was a scholar at a young age.
But he also had a deep understanding of his bad luck and knew that what happened to him was outrageous.
This makes them afraid to marry him even if they have a marriageable girl at home.
Although Li Jun was often with him and seemed not to be infected with any bad luck, they were afraid that the medium for spreading bad luck would require a marriage relationship or something.
They dare not gamble and cannot afford to gamble.
After all, Xie Yanzhi's family didn't have any relatives except him, not even uncles or aunts.
What a pity for such a capable and talented scholar. It would be great if he didn't have such bad luck that makes people look down upon him!
Li Yuan was in the room. When Wang Can went to the kitchen to help light the fire and serve the dishes, she heard a movement at the door and walked out.
Unexpectedly, her eyes met Xie Yanzhi, who looked annoyed.
However, after only one day of seeing him, the bruise on his face became lighter and he looked much more handsome.
But when she saw the broken tiles in Xie Yanzhi's right hand, she was shocked!
Good guy, I heard that others were unlucky, and she had seen it with her own eyes.
But who will tell her that this person is an unlucky person.
Her brother went to the county town to buy tiles today, and what he bought must be good ones. Everyone is moving now.
As a result, when he got it, it was all broken into pieces.
How did he do it? Could it be that there is internal strength?
After seeing Li Yuan, Xie Yanzhi pretended that the broken tile in his hand was broken, and then threw it into an uninhabited corner without changing his expression.
"Junzi, I only have one good arm, so I'm not going to help!"
Li Jun glanced at the broken tiles and quickly replied: "Well, you go to my room to rest first. It is estimated that the banquet will be ready in two quarters of an hour."
Xie Yanzhi nodded and walked toward the yard. When he passed Li Yuan, he paused and said, "Young lady looks good today!"
Li Yuan smiled and replied: "Brother Xie is still the same as before, but he is much more handsome!"
Xie Yanzhi knew what she meant as before, but he was still as unlucky as ever.
Just when he wanted to skip her and go directly to Li Jun's room because of taboos, he suddenly heard Li Yuan say again: "Brother Xie, Junzi said that you know about Huokang and want to have it at my house."
"That's what happened! Junzi said that he would give you quilts and coats, and asked me to find someone to leave twenty pounds of cotton. When I heard so much, after asking carefully, I found out that he also wanted to make it for Miss Wang.
I thought about how it would be better to sleep together on a kang than to be in trouble when it's cold in winter. After the fire is lit, not to mention saving money on a quilt, it will be comfortable for people to sit on in winter. "
Li Yuan really didn't know about her brother's request for twenty pounds of cotton. He didn't mention this when he mentioned it before.
"Brother Xie, I have read similar records in my father's books. It was so impressive that I still remember it. How about we discuss it together?"
Xie Yanzhi knew that Li Yuan was literate, and he also knew from Li Jun's words that she loved reading when she was a girl.
Therefore, I heard her say that she had read similar books, and there was no doubt at all.
"We can discuss it, but not now. We'll talk about it later."
After saying this, he left without looking back.
Li Yuancai went home with Li. He, an unmarried man, stood with her in the yard and chatted in front of everyone. The impact was really not good.
For this discussion, it would be better to wait until no one came back, or she would go to the county seat and go to his house to talk.
Li Yuan also knew how to avoid taboos. Seeing that he agreed to come down, she thought that she would go to the county town to find him after she got well.
When the time comes, ask him to help find someone and sell off the Liu family's land deeds as well.
When she has money, she will help pay off the family's debts, then set up a stall and sell noodles to save money to stock up on goods, and by the way, let her brother study hard...
Time passed quietly as everyone was busy.
In the blink of an eye, it was already noon, and the people who came to eat today were arriving one after another.
Li Jun originally planned to have three tables at home, but in the end he settled on five tables.
In addition to the people in the Li family's old house who need to occupy two tables, the clan members who originally went to Shuiyun Village to help also need to occupy two tables.
The remaining table was for other people with prestigious surnames in the Li family's area.
According to Mrs. Wang's wishes, Li Jun often runs away from home, and Li Yuan and his wife will mainly live in his house from now on.
In addition to the protection of family and tribe, the girl with other surnames may talk too much in private.
However, with the help of these prestigious people with different surnames, these rumors will be much less.
For Mrs. Wang, it is just a matter of cooking two more tables. As long as there is enough meat, there will definitely be enough vegetables in their fields.
The rest is just to make more when steaming rice and pancakes.
As someone who is not yet in good health, Li Yuan ate in the house at noon.
Accompanying her were naturally the "outsider" Wang Can and the sisters Liu Caiwei and Liu Qingsha.
The food for the four of them was placed on the wooden board where Wang Can slept.
After Wang Can put it on the table, he said to Li Yuan: "Sister Yuan, our family made eight dishes and one soup today. It can be said that almost all of them are hard dishes."
At this time, what was placed on the wooden board was tofu in fish soup, rabbit meat roasted with potatoes and stir-fried pork with cabbage.
Li Yuan glanced at it and asked: "What eight dishes are there? Also, are you really planning to marry Junzi? This family has become our family!"
Wang Can smiled sheepishly, and then said: "In addition to our two dishes and one soup, there are also fried tofu with minced meat, roasted chicken with taro, fried meat with fungus, fried eggs, fried pumpkin and braised pork.
As for the braised tofu you mentioned before, it is gone. Your mother said, save the money and make the fermented bean curd at home. However, I have already made the tofu pudding, and I also made a bowl for each person in advance, and made sweet ginger brown sugar. "
Liu Qingsha, who was holding chopsticks and trying hard to pick it up, looked up at Li Yuan: "Mom, eat braised pork. Thanks to uncle's house, it's delicious!"
Liu Caiwei added helpfully: "Mom, we had braised pork at Uncle Xie's house, it was delicious!"
