Chapter 16 Good things come in pairs
Li Chuan quickly moved the other three back, broke the lotus root clips and put them on the plate, and said: "Brother Pang, please don't give up on yourself, Gong Brother risked his life to save you, not to let you be a dish. Now Brother Gong goes to the Sishen Palace to seek help. You can stay here with me to recuperate. As long as I, Li Chuan, have a mouthful of food, Brother Pang has a mouthful of you. Rice.”
After breaking the lotus root clips, Li Chuan wiped his hands, picked up the plate, and walked to the front yard.
"Even if you really want to be steamed and boiled, wait until you recover a little and turn into a crab as big as a basin, the kind that can feed you for two or three days," Li Chuan He kicked the crotch into the sun and sat down, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I'm just kidding. I'll buy some needlework and thread in a few days and try to see if I can patch you up."
The crab legs seem to be repaired. Shrinking.
Probably looking forward to it.
In a corner of the yard, impatiens, cockscombs and two canna plants were planted. They were transplanted from neighbors on the street. They all looked alive and full of vitality.
After a few days of free time, it will be more comfortable to build a grape trellis.
Summer is passing and autumn is coming, and the weather is getting cooler day by day.
On this day, Li Chuan returned home carrying a pair of pork chops. Just as he was about to open the door, he heard someone calling him, "Li Xiucai, you are back. I have been waiting for you for a long time. I have a I have great news to tell you.”
Li Chuan took a closer look and saw that it was Mrs. Liu.
Po Liu lives on the street in front of her, and she usually walks around the streets selling some needlework trinkets.
Is she here to do this? What's the happy event?
Li Chuan was confused, but he still invited Mrs. Liu in to add tea and water.
Mr. Liu entered the house and looked around. The house was neatly organized, but there were only a few pieces of furniture. As soon as her butt touched the chair, she said: "Xiucai, do you know the Pan family who sells meat on the street?"
Of course I know, I just came back from buying meat at Pan’s stall.
He said: "You know, why, does his family need a housekeeper?"
"No, no!" Mrs. Liu waved her hands repeatedly, "It was his wife who invited me here, saying that he My daughter seems to be worried about something recently. She is depressed and has lost weight. I have asked her several times, but I can’t find out. "
Butcher Pan’s daughter? Pan Xiaohua?
Isn’t she the one who was chopping meat in the stall today?
Very energetic!
Seeing that Li Chuan did not respond, Mrs. Liu continued to herself, "Madam asked me to try it out, so I brought some fashionable tricks to talk to her, and as we talked, I finally got it. The words came out. She saw you bravely saving people at the market that day, and she always remembered it in her heart, so she couldn't think about it. "
What?
Brave?
Throw pig feet?
Grandma Liu glanced at Li Chuan's face and continued to persuade: "Li Xiucai, although the Pan family is not a wealthy family, it is rich in wealth, and they only have one daughter. She has a good appearance and a good temperament. She has the same character as our neighbors. You know, originally their family wanted to recruit a son-in-law. "
"You are a scholar, so you will definitely not be happy to be a son-in-law, but studying and becoming an official requires money. "
"Now that the Pan family is willing to marry their daughter to you, and is also willing to pay for your education, isn't this a great happy event?"
Li Chuan was very excited after hearing this.
Thinking of those fleshy little hands at the butcher stall, my heart became even more excited.
"Thank you so much, Granny Liu, but..." Li Chuan changed his tone and said, "An expert told Xiao Ke's fortune and said that Xiao Ke should not be close to women for three years, otherwise there will be a big disaster."
"What?" Mrs. Liu was shocked.
"It was that Chief Wen who had the final say," Li Chuan pushed Wen Guying, and then said: "Women's youth is precious, so I also ask Mrs. Liu to think of a way to talk to Mrs. Pan's family. , let her persuade Miss Pan."
Po Liu was dubious. At first she thought Li Chuan was trying to evade, but after he mentioned Daoist Wen, she hesitated. Li Chuan's reputation as a scholar in the town is now known to everyone in Yunqiao Township. Everyone guessed it was because He has a pure mind and a pure Yang body, so maybe he won't be able to lose his virginity within these three years.
Three years, a woman’s youth is precious, how many three years can she have?
Even if the Pan family is willing to wait, if Li Xiucai said this deliberately to evade, wouldn't it be a waste of Miss Pan's life?
This is not possible.
When the time comes, she, the middleman, will also be blamed by the Pan family.
Li Chuan looked at Mrs. Liu's expression, grabbed another handful of copper coins from the house and gave it to her and said, "I'll use this money to buy Mrs. Liu a drink. I also ask you to have a good talk with the Pan family and don't hurt the harmony." .”
"How can I be embarrassed to ask for your money..." Mrs. Liu declined and put the money into her sleeves. Then she stood up and said, "Then I will take the words with you. Don't worry, I will think of something." You must not let the two families get into trouble."
"Please, please." Li Chuan walked her out of the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really moved.
But after all, his soul is a modern person. He will get married after just a few words of conversation, and he will have to be responsible for another person for the rest of his life. The pressure is too much.
But ancient times are different from modern times. It is very troublesome to get married and then divorce. For him, it may be a bad reputation, and for the woman, it may be time to throw herself into the river.
I will have to buy meat from another stall in the future.
Pan’s meat stall is clean and fresh, and Pan Xiaohua is pretty and quick. What a pity.
After going back to the house and sitting for a while, he sighed, drank two sips of cold tea, and was about to go to the kitchen to cook when Li Chuan suddenly heard some movement from the backyard.
He walked out and saw a man, a woman and a chicken standing in the yard.
I recognize that chicken. The second male has his head held high and his coat is shiny. Apparently all his old wounds have healed and he is doing well.
He also recognized the man, Taoist Wen Gu Yingwen who had just been arranged by him. He had not seen him for several months, but the ruby on the sword was still shining brightly.
I don’t recognize the woman. She has a water-yellow hemp skirt, a round face, round eyes, and a bit of heroism between her eyebrows.
There are two swords on his back.
The excitement is all in one day.
When Daochang Wen saw Li Chuan, he took a few steps forward and explained, "Brother Li, we haven't seen you for a long time. The three of us were dressed a little eye-catching, so I asked Gong Er to take us and wait here."< br>
Li Chuan said: "Okay, okay."
Then he looked at Gong Er and said, "Pang San is in the kitchen."
He was afraid that Gong Er thought he was going to cook crabs. So he explained: "For some reason, he particularly likes my pot. He insists on getting into it, taking it out and crawling back in. I think it's hard for him to crawl around like this every day. When the pot is not in use, he just lets it lie down in it. "
Gong Er was a little excited and asked: "Is the third brother awake?"
Li Chuan said: "I can crawl a few steps, but it seems I can't change. The human form can’t speak either.”
"Third brother is alive, third brother is alive!" Gong Er chanted as he spread his wings and strode towards the kitchen.
