Master Li heard the movement behind him, turned around, and asked in confusion: "Uncle, what's going on..."
Halfway through the words, Master Li's face turned slightly red and he quickly turned his head back.
When Li Shishi turned his pretty face, he couldn't help but glance at Pan Xiaoxian's bulging pants.
Master Li didn't think too much and was still thinking about Pan Xiaoxian: "Uncle has grown up and has become an official. I really want to tell you about a young lady. The daughter of Aunt Zhao's family next door is pretty good. The family is in business. She can bring a lot of people to her family. A dowry for a house and fifty acres of fertile land.”
Master Li said this with some pride: "My uncle is a talented person, and he is an official in the Imperial College. He has benefited from Aunt Zhao's family. I will definitely help him get an extra shop as a dowry."
Master Li suddenly shook his head again: "The daughter of Aunt Liu's family next door is better. Although she is just an ordinary family, her father is a scholar and can be considered a semi-literary family. I have seen his little daughter. She is very beautiful. She is also a good girl who is well-educated and sensible.”
Just when Master Li was thinking about whose daughter he should introduce to Pan Xiaoxian.
Pan Xiaoxian suddenly said: "I want to find a woman who is like a sister-in-law."
Li Shishi was stunned, turned his beautiful face slightly, looked at Pan Xiaoxian with a firm face, and was speechless for a moment.
Li Shishi looked at Pan Xiaoxian's firm eyes and knew that he was not joking and expressed his true thoughts.
Master Li really blushed this time, and was afraid of Pan Xiaoxian's embarrassment, so he hurriedly said: "It's a pity that I don't have a sister. If I had a sister, I could marry my uncle."
Pan Xiaoxian really wanted to say that even if she had a younger sister, even if she was an identical twin, she would not marry her younger sister.
Because he only wants to marry one person.
Pan Xiaoxian wanted to say this very much. He glanced at the stone archway at the door, sighed heavily and sat back.
I can't say anything.
The chastity arch made of stone was like a Mount Tai, pressing on their backs, making them unable to breathe.
As long as the Chastity Arch exists, there will always be a mountain between them.
No one can move it away.
Pan Xiaoxian's mood became dull. He sat on the chair without speaking, his face full of sadness.
Master Li quickly cooked three dishes, placed them on the table, and brought a large bowl of rice.
Master Li took a bowl and started to serve him rice: "It's all your favorite dishes, fried eggs, fried peanuts, fried large intestines."
It's not that Pan Xiaoxian likes to eat these dishes, but because they are common people's meat dishes.
Eggs, peanuts, and pig offal are all relatively easy-to-obtain meat products. Other meat and vegetables are too expensive for ordinary people to afford.
Pan Xiaoxian smelled the aroma of the food and felt better. He quickly took the rice bowl from Master Li and started eating.
When taking over the rice bowl, Pan Xiaoxian's palm touched Li Shishi's white and tender fingers, whether accidentally or intentionally.
Master Li didn't know what happened. He quickly retracted his jade hand as if he was struck by lightning.
Pan Xiaoxian didn't seem to care, just focusing on eating, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
This kind of thing happened in the past, and Master Li would not have any reaction.
Master Li suddenly had an unnatural reaction today, which explained one thing.
Finally saw him as a man.
Master Li's appetite was very small and he was full after just two bites.
She put down the bowl and chopsticks, her eyes were watery, and she looked softly at Pan Xiaoxian who was eating haphazardly.
That face that was as beautiful as a fairy showed a smile from the bottom of her heart for the first time in these years.
Everything seems very cozy.
Pan Xiaoxian was infected by this warmth and made a rather excessive request: "I came here this time to take students to visit Jiming Temple. I need to stay nearby for a few days. I want... I want to … Live here.”
Seeing Pan Xiaoxian's hesitant expression, Master Li started to feel embarrassed again, embarrassed to say that he lived here.
Master Li burst out laughing: "We are a family, and it is right for uncle to live here. Only if he lives outside will people gossip about us."
After eating, Master Li cleaned up the dishes, opened the door and took Pan Xiaoxian out.
Master Li was very beautiful and had a chastity arch awarded by the imperial court. His every move attracted the attention of many people.
Ever since Pan Xiaoxian knocked on the door, many people were surprised.
Since Li Shishi became a widow, this is the first time a man has entered her home.
In the past, government officials would come to deliver things, but they would just leave them at the door and not dare to go in.
Master Li would not open the door to let the officials in. He would not even open the door and say a few words of thanks through the door.
Master Li's behavior this time shocked many people. Not only did he open the door and let Pan Xiaoxian walk in, he also closed the door and stayed alone for a long time.
Fortunately, Pan Xiaoxian was wearing a blue official uniform when he came over, otherwise someone would have reported him to the official, attracting a large number of police officers to arrest Pan Xiaoxian.
No one can tarnish the chastity arch awarded by heaven.
Not only will the government be embarrassed, but the people nearby will also be embarrassed and have their backs stabbed.
When Pan Xiaoxian walked out of his home, he could clearly feel that there were many eyes nearby looking at him, most of them with hostility.
Master Li walked directly to the door of Aunt Zhao's house and introduced him enthusiastically: "Aunt Zhao, this is the uncle Pan Xiaoxian I told you about. He is now an official in the Imperial College. After he is done, he wants to return home in fine clothes. Come and give it to me. This sister-in-law has a strong appearance."
When Aunt Zhao heard that the tall and handsome young man in front of her was Pan Xiaoxian, her eyes changed instantly. They were no longer hostile, but looked like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.
Aunt Zhao liked it more and more as she watched it, and said more enthusiastically: "My daughter followed her father to the Silk Satin Mansion and will not come back until evening. Let's have a meal together then, which can also be regarded as a blessing for your uncle."
When Aunt Zhao spoke, she emphasized the word Silk and Satin Village to reveal her family's wealth.
There is only one purpose, first leave a good impression in Pan Xiaoxian's heart.
Master Li agreed and went to Aunt Liu's house on the other side to introduce Pan Xiaoxian's identity again.
Aunt Liu also showed great enthusiasm: "Your uncle is really a talented person. He is already in the ninth rank at a young age. Let my son learn from him later."
Aunt Liu's son is a well-known young talent in the neighborhood. He passed the scholar examination in his teens and is now working hard to pass the examination.
As long as you pass the exam in high school, you can become an official.
Aunt Liu arranged for her son to invite Pan Xiaoxian to her home, not to impart experience in the imperial examination, but to allow her daughter to have more contact with Pan Xiaoxian.
Zheng Jiupin was already a great official in the eyes of the people, and Pan Xiaoxian was relatively young, making him a hot candidate for son-in-law.
After Li Shishi's introduction, the nearby neighbors knew Pan Xiaoxian's identity, and their eyes lost hostility and mostly turned into enthusiasm.
I don’t have daughters in my own family, but my relatives always have daughters.
Neighbors all want to be related to Pan Xiaoxian.
