Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields
Chapter 86: uninvited guestAfter the first snowfall, it got dark earlier, and not long after dinner, it was pitch black outside the window, and there was the sound of cold wind blowing against the window in my ears.
A few days ago, Li Haitang replaced the Goryeo paper in several rooms of the house with colored glaze. She slept at night much better than before, and no longer worried about the cold wind coming in through the gaps in the windows.
In the bedroom, three oil lamps were lit side by side. Li Haitang sat under the lamps, threading needles and threads, feeling restless.
When Sixi came back yesterday, the corners of her eyes were black and blue. When she asked what was going on, Sixi dodged her eyes and said that she accidentally fell down.
Who is Li Haitang, she saw that the little boy was lying, but she didn't expose it, she pulled Sixi to chat, and with a few words, she got it out.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and Lushan Academy is the same. Those who are backgrounded and have no money will be bullied. Scholars are inevitably snobbish and utilitarian.
Li Jinhu, the younger brother, got into the exam by himself, without anyone recommending him. His basic necessities of life are average, and the book boy is still a simple and honest person. It can be seen that he was born in a poor family.
Li Jinhu studied hard and was praised by his husband for his talent. People who lived in the same courtyard became jealous.
"They secretly added water to the young master's stove, and the young master woke up from the cold in the middle of the night, suffering from the wind and cold."
Speaking of this, Sixi was very aggrieved. He could ignore some small tricks, but he viciously extinguished the fire and made his young master sick.
So, he got angry and got into a fight with someone, but he didn't know who did it, so he cleaned up the bookboys of the other three scholars who lived in a yard.
He couldn't offend those scholars. Sixi had thought about it and couldn't make it too difficult for his young master, but it was normal for the schoolboys to have some friction.
He had to wave his fist to let them know that his young master is not easy to bully!
"Then what punishment did you receive?"
Li Haitang was not angry, but guided Sixi to continue talking. Regardless of whether Sixi's approach is correct or wrong, the starting point is to protect the master and consider for Li Jinhu, so as the master, she cannot let Sixi feel chilled. I believe that the younger brother also understands this truth.
"Twenty boards."
Sixi spoke in a very low voice. He was rough-skinned and thick-skinned, so he was fine after being beaten. Anyway, after cleaning them up, he was very relieved.
"Is Jin Hu's wind and chill better?"
Li Haitang's first concern was his younger brother's body. She didn't have a good impression of the scholar, and it was expected that there would be friction.
Every time Zhengyi slaughters dogs, he is always a scholar. People, who have read a lot, naturally have ambitions. Daqi scholars have a high status, so those people have been struggling to find their way.
"Okay, the young master won't let me say it."
Li Jinhu was also afraid that his eldest sister would worry about it, and he could deal with it himself. Now that there is no fame, there are many things that make people stumble.
He always remembered Li Haitang's teaching that even if he took revenge, the other party would not be able to find evidence, so he asked Sixi to buy some crotons.
Those people sealed his stove, that's fine, he just chinned the beans and made them go to the toilet together, even the scholars in the same courtyard.
Sure enough, they both suspected each other, dog bit dog, and quarreled for several days in a row, exhausted, they all became sworn enemies, and no one bothered him anymore.
Li Haitang nodded repeatedly after listening to Sixi's report. The younger brother learned from one example and was educated very successfully. It was this Sixi who was loyal to protect the Lord and was a little stunned.
"Problems that can be solved by punching and kicking are not problems."
Li Haitang turned around and educated Sixi, letting others catch her, and she herself had to endure the pain of flesh and blood, why bother?
Before doing something, don't be impulsive, think of a way to get the best of both worlds, let the other party be unlucky, and still not doubt yourself.
Sixi rubbed her buttocks, nodded immediately, and her mind suddenly became sharp as if she had been enlightened.
Fortunately, he has a solid eye, and the people he believes in will not change. Li Haitang doesn't have to worry, Sixi is not good for the younger brother.
Taking advantage of the free time, Li Haitang made fur cushions. This time, cotton was added to the cushions, making it soft to sit on, making it easier for the younger brother to study in cold weather.
There was a creak, and there was a slight noise from the door, but at this night, it was still clearly audible.
"Second Aunt Chen?"
Li Haitang put away her needlework, stood up, and walked towards the door.
Second Aunt Chen came to see her every night, supervised her, and did not let her make clothes by the oil lamp, for fear that she would burn her eyes, and only told her that it was Xiao Lingchuan's orders.
Before reaching the door, Li Haitang frowned, turned her head, ran to the bed, and took out a dagger from under the pillow to defend herself.
There is a smell of blood in the room, someone has come in!
"Who? If you don't say anything, I'll yell!"
Li Haitang was very nervous, her hairs stood on end, she really wanted to cry, wondering if she had some bad luck.
There was a burst of deep and pleasant laughter, and the visitor gasped for a few words, "Little Haitang, don't be so unfriendly, it's an old friend."
"Little Taohong?"
Hearing the sound, half of the stone in Li Haitang's heart fell. She went to the door to look and was startled.
Xiao Taohong was wearing a black night gown, his waist was wet, and his clothes were soaked in blood.
"You are hurt?"
Li Haitang rubbed her forehead, if she had time, she should go to worship Buddha in a hurry, and ask Buddha to bless her, she felt that she was in a big trouble.
The red horn of the theater troupe, wearing night clothes and being injured, will make her have many bad associations. After all, she and her savage husband have done the same thing, so she is not a simple and ignorant person.
Please come to the door, if you don't make it right, you will be cannon fodder!
"Can I borrow your house?"
Xiao Taohong smiled softly, her pale face was soft and beautiful, if this face were born on a woman, it would be a beauty that would overwhelm the country and the city.
"Can I refuse?"
Li Haitang rolled her eyes. She really wanted to refuse, but she didn't know what this guy had done. If she insisted that Li Haitang was an accomplice, she would really be sitting behind closed doors. come up!
Don't doubt, Xiao Taohong is not a good man and a believer, she is sure of this.
"You're smart."
Xiao Taohong hooked the corners of her mouth, her eyes showed admiration, he could have gone to other places, but he somehow felt that Li Haitang could guarantee his safety.
In return, he was willing to give the other party 10,000 taels of silver. Seeing her open-eyed look, Xiao Taohong was inexplicably in a good mood.
She is the first and only one who can arouse his interest, and I hope she will not disappoint him.
"Can you tell me the situation first, so that I can prepare?"
Men and women are not close, but Li Haitang is a doctor, so she doesn't worry about this problem at all. What she worries about is being implicated.
"You just need to find a way to hide me and escape the investigation tonight. I will definitely leave within three days."
Xiao Taohong covered the wound on her waist with her hand, the pain was unbearable, if it wasn't for his perseverance, she would not be able to persist until now.
"Hey, hello!" Before Li Haitang could finish asking, Xiao Taohong fainted first.
