MTL - Poor Family-Chapter 11 Exorbitant price

  Chapter 11 Asking prices

  Three people came in from the outside, the fourth uncle Li Daguang walked in the front, he was still wearing the well-crafted snow-white robe, tall and tall, with long beard and white hair, he looked extraordinarily fairy-like.

   I have to admit that a person's appearance is indeed very important. Although Li Daguang has participated in the state examination for ten years, failed every year, and has never done anything wrong, he is the one who has the most nourishing life in Li Wencun.

  Although he seriously dereliction of duty last night and caused the ancestral hall to be burned, the patriarch still asked him to lead the way when he came to Liwen Village today, which shows the trust in him,

Behind him is Li Wenyou, the patriarch of the Li family. He hardly slept last night, his eyes were flushed, but he was in good spirits. Perhaps it was because he was a little fat. Walking here from the entrance of the village made him a little Slightly out of breath.

   Aunt Hu was the last one to come in. Daqi entrusted Qing'er to them, and her son Hu Sheng went to the county again. Even if Qing'er's cousin and patriarch came in, she was worried.

   "Qing'er, the patriarch has come to see you, hurry up and kowtow to the patriarch!"

   Li Daguang was afraid that Li Yanqing would refuse to kowtow again as if he was in the ancestral hall, so he quickly reminded Li Yanqing and winked at him again.

  Teacher Tiandi Junqin, except for these five old people, Li Yanqing would not worship anyone. He took a step forward, pretending to be kneeling to worship, and suddenly grinned, unable to do so.

   "Fourth Uncle, my knee was injured in the fire last night, and it hurts so much right now!"

  Li Wenyou chuckled, "Qing'er doesn't need to be too polite, Daguang, go and move two stools."

  Li Daguang rolled his eyes, and was dodged by this little trickster again. He had no choice but to find two small stools nailed with broken planks. He wiped the stools with his sleeve, "Patriarch, please sit down!"

  Li Wenyou gave the stool to Li Yanqing, "Qing'er, your leg hurts, you sit down first!"

  Li Yanqing took the bench and sat down very politely, Li Wenyou also sat down on another small stool, Aunt Hu was cleaning the yard not far away with a bamboo broom, she glanced here from time to time out of the corner of her eye.

   There were only two small stools in the house, so Li Daguang had to stand. Seeing that they were not malicious, Aunt Hu quietly closed the door and went out. She didn't bother to listen to the affairs of the Li family.

   "Qing'er, thanks to you last night. To be honest, I didn't sleep all night last night. I was afraid and grateful. I never thought that our ancestors actually appeared."

  Li Wenyou spoke very sincerely. He asked Li Daguang carefully about Li Yanqing's situation before he set off, and learned that the child was originally a fool. He fell into a well more than a month ago and completely changed himself.

In particular, Li Daguang told him about Li Yanqing's performance in the ancestral hall the day before yesterday, and even guessed the name of the great ancestor. This made Li Wenyou suddenly realize that there was a reason why the great ancestor chose Li Yanqing, and it is very likely that the **** of the great ancestor was attached to him. In this child, otherwise how can he explain his transformation from a fool to a child prodigy?

   Along the way, Li Wenyou was thinking about this matter over and over again. The more he thought about it, the more likely it was. It was as if a fire had been lit in his heart, which made him anxious and eager to confirm his guess.

  What Li Yanqing thinks of at this time is how to get the most benefit from this matter. His price list has been drafted, and the patriarch will take the initiative to thank him.

  He lowered his head and said, "Patriarch, I really didn't know what was going on at the time, and I'm still confused now. I feel like I'm not myself at that moment."

  Li Wenyou asked tentatively again: "Qing'er, have you heard the sound you heard last night before? For example... when you fell into the well."

   Li Yanqing came to a sudden, it turned out that the patriarch regarded himself as Li Jing possessed, he immediately knew that his chance had come, he'ah! ’ With a cry, he widened his eyes and asked in surprise, "How did the patriarch know?"

   Li Wenyou was shocked, "Have you really heard it?"

  Li Yanqing nodded, "I did hear that voice when I fell into the well. I always thought there was a ghost in the well, and I never dared to tell my father."

   "What did that voice say?"

Li Yanqing pondered in a low voice, silently recalling the chronological memorandum he compiled. Li Yu ascended the throne in the second year after the establishment of the Song Dynasty, so Li Jing died in 961, and this year is 1111, so Li Jing passed away 150 years ago years.

Li Yanqing looked up at the sky, and slowly said with a dreamy expression: "When I fell into the well, that voice whispered in my ear that his soul wandered for a whole hundred and fifty years, and finally found me Soul boy."

  Li Wenyou immediately took out a genealogy book from his arms and flipped through it. The date of birth and death of the great ancestor was recorded in the genealogy in very obscure words, which only the patriarch could understand.

  While flipping through the pages, Li Wenyou counted with his fingers on the ground. In the end, his expression changed drastically. He calculated that it was exactly 150 years since the death of the Great Patriarch.

  Li Wenyou's legs softened, and he knelt down in front of Li Yanqing. Even if the child in front of him was not a rebirth of the great ancestor, part of the soul of the great ancestor was placed in his body.

  The patriarch knelt down, and Li Daguang was so frightened that he also knelt down, oh my god! Could it be that this child was really enslaved by the great ancestor? The great ancestor died a hundred and fifty years ago and came back again.

  Li Yanqing pretended to be flustered and said: "Patriarch, fourth uncle, what are you... what are you doing?"

  He was somewhat worried, what if the patriarch really regarded himself as an ancestor?

   "The unworthy descendant Li Wenyou bows to the Great Patriarch!"

   "The unworthy descendant Li Daguang kowtows to the great ancestor!"

Even in a remote village a thousand years later, many foolish men and women would be convinced of such tricks, not to mention that this is the Song Dynasty, Li Wenyou had preconceptions, and Li Yanqing only confirmed his guess, but if his brother Li Wengui may not believe it.

  Li Yanqing simply sat down, smiled bitterly in his heart, made up a few random words, they really believed it, would he suddenly faint like a witch in the future, and then talk nonsense like a master, hey! How should this matter end?

Li Wenyou respectfully kowtowed his head three times, but he didn't dare to sit down again, but stood in front of Li Yanqing with his hands down. He didn't sleep last night, and he was thinking about this matter. Why did the great ancestor choose Li Yanqing, a six-year-old boy? The child rushed into the fire? You must know that there were at least 200 people in the clan fighting the fire last night, and there were countless young and strong men, but the great ancestor chose a child.

   Now he finally understands that Dazu and Li Yanqing had crossed paths a long time ago, fire and water help each other!

   "Sit down, Patriarch! I have something to say."

Li Wenyou sat down tremblingly next to half of his buttocks, Li Yanqing looked at him and said solemnly: "The patriarch had better not mention the matter of the great ancestor, now it is the Great Song Dynasty, the emperor's surname is Zhao, not Li, this kind of thing is said too much are going to be exterminated.”

   Li Wenyou was stunned for a moment, he slapped his head suddenly, he didn't think of the seriousness of this matter, no way! When he went back, he had to shut up immediately, and no one was allowed to talk about the great ancestor's appearance last night.

  He looked back at Li Daguang again, Li Daguang's head immediately shook like a rattle, "Don't worry, patriarch, I will never go out and talk nonsense about this matter."

  Li Yanqing blocked Li Wenyou's intention to go to the county to publicize this matter with one sentence, and he said lightly: "The patriarch should call me Qing'er! Let's not mention this matter in the future."

   Li Wenyou calmed down slowly, then nodded, "What does Qinger need me to do?"

Playing tricks for a long time, Li Yanqing was just waiting for his words. He unceremoniously stretched out four fingers, "First, Liu Chenghong destroyed the Li family's ancestral hall, made the ancestors dusty, and harmed Li's descendants. He must be expelled immediately and cannot be restored. use."

  Li Wenyou heard that he was not a six-year-old child at all, and he even mentioned Liezu. He was even more convinced in his heart, and quickly said: "I have already driven him away, and I will never use it again."

   "Second, my father Li Daqi's debts owed to the patriarch will be exempted, and the salary he has been deducted in recent years will be made up by the patriarch."

Four years ago, Li Daqi borrowed money to bury his wife and was brutally slaughtered by his father-in-law Ding Zhong and Li Wenyou. They said it cost five hundred guan, but in fact, at most a hundred guan was enough, and most of the five hundred guan was passed through. The cemetery, coffin, various labor costs, etc. were returned to the two of them. The actual cost was that a few pigs went into the stomachs of the whole village. Of course, there were also some clothes and burial objects.

  In addition to gaining the reputation of helping the tribe, Li Wenyou also got a cheap long-term labor like a slave. All this is written in black and white, and Li Daqi willingly signed it.

  But who would have thought that Li Daqi would have such a son, Li Wenyou felt guilty for a while, and hurriedly said: "It must be waived, and I will send the IOU and wages when I go back."

  Li Yanqing said again: "The third thing is that I want to study in a school, the patriarch can arrange it!"

Li Wenyou thought that Li Yanqing wanted to pursue the matter of the five hundred guan, but he just wanted to study. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "This is a trivial matter. I'll just tell Master Yao later. Qing'er can do it tomorrow." Going to study."

  Li Yanqing originally only thought of these three things, but this opportunity is really rare, if he doesn’t kill this black-hearted patriarch, he will be too sorry for his father’s hardships in the past few years.

  He pointed to the house and said: "The house is too dilapidated, please ask the patriarch to find someone to repair it!"
