A Timely Wife

The young man saw that Li Ruosong's attitude was respectful, so he said like alms: "You can ask whatever you want, but I want to see what questions you can ask."

Li Ruosong smiled and said, "Brother, do you know the name of the emperor of our Great Chu?"

The young man looked Li Ruosong up and down, as if he was looking at a fool, "Look, sir, let me say that these people are from the countryside, but they don't even know the name of the emperor. I said, how do you do this?" If you rush to take the exam, what kind of results can you get in the exam, I will be merciful and tell you about it today, so that you will not be laughed at when you go out in the future."

Li Ruosong cupped his hands and said, "Xiaosheng thank you, brother."

"The emperor of our Great Chu Dynasty was surnamed Liu, and his name is a taboo, do you know?" The young man said with a straight face.

Li Ruosong nodded when he heard this, and asked, "I don't know the name of this brother?"

"My surname is He, you have to remember my surname carefully." The young man replied.

"Oh, in this way, Brother He is not a member of the royal family? Since he is not, I don't know what Brother He said that Qingjiang Mansion is your family's world, what is the explanation?" Li Ruosong said lightly.

The young man's expression changed, first he was terrified, then extremely annoyed, he glared at Li Ruosong fiercely, and said, "You bastard, since you have no eyes, don't blame me for being rude, come on, hit me hard hit!"

After finishing speaking, the young man took a step back and let the servants who followed him come forward. He no longer cared about arguing with Li Ruosong. You must know that if the words just got out, the consequences would be terrible. It was unimaginable, he didn't even want to know what would happen to him if this word reached his father's ears.

His father had repeatedly told him not to cause trouble during this time, especially before Enke, once something happened, it would be difficult to end, especially if it involved other students. Just don't provoke them, as their family's in-laws of the Wan family are enough to attract people's attention.

The He family and the Wan family are related by marriage. The eldest daughter of the He family married the younger brother of Concubine Wan Gui's direct relative, that young man who was somewhat stupid due to congenital inadequacy. Through this in-law relationship, the He family gradually rose to the position of Concubine Wan Gui. Gao, the wealth of the He family has also increased. More than ten years ago, the He family was just a low-ranking family. Today, the He family seems to be a first-class family in Qingjiang Prefecture.

The young man surnamed He is the second son of the Patriarch of the He family. His name is He Wei. He has a good relationship with his elder sister since he was a child. Those who are higher than him are not as strong as his background, and those who are stronger than his background are not in Qingjiang Mansion, so it doesn't matter if they walk sideways.

He Wei is used to the days of being called out and flattered, and no one dares to put on airs in front of him. Anyone who sees him is either groveling, or if he says something wrong, someone will come back to him. Today, he was humiliated face to face by these few country bumpkins, and even found out what he said wrongly. Although he said this before, no one dared to mention it again.

Of course, Li Ruosong would not stand there foolishly waiting for someone to fight, so when the boys behind He Wei rushed up with their teeth and claws, Li Ruosong asked Wang Ziqing to protect Li Ruoshan and Zhou Jinyan, and rushed up by himself.

If Chengdong was on the scene, he might be shocked. In just a few months, Li Ruosong's fighting skills have become quite sophisticated. Li Ruosong's thumb was stretched out perpendicular to the other fingers, and the other four fingers were close together. Standing straight, with elbows bent, he slashed his palm towards the neck of the first person in a "spasmodic" way. With just one blow, the other person fell down and passed out.

This move was too fast and too ruthless. It made the boys in the back stop, but Li Ruosong didn't give them a chance to react. He raised his leg and kicked the second boy hard with his heel. In the stomach area, the second servant immediately lay down on the ground with his stomach hurting and rolled around.

Li Ruosong didn't continue to shoot, but retracted his legs, glanced at him, and said, "Who else wants to try?"

The boys looked at each other and took a few steps back in unison. He Wei's face was ashen with anger. He really wanted to reprimand these useless boys, but he remembered what his father had repeatedly told him. Then he said angrily: "Okay, you, you, you can do it, you wait, today I will let you go, if I let you meet again next time, I will definitely strip you!"

Li Ruosong raised his brows and said, "I thank Mr. He for not killing me."

He Wei was so angry that he fell on his back and yelled at the frightened boys: "You useless things, what are you doing standing here? Why don't you go away?"

After finishing speaking, He Wei turned around and walked out. When he reached the door, He Wei saw the owner of the bookstore inadvertently, as if he remembered something, he sneered and said, "Hmph, I don't think there is any need to open your bookstore. gone."

Hearing this, the owner of the bookstore turned pale. He stammered and said, "Master He, Master He, you can't blame the little ones for this matter. Master He, Master He, please stay."

He Weili ignored the bookstore owner's persuasion, and got into the carriage, leaving behind a few servants and the bookstore owner who stood still and didn't know what to do.

When Wang Ziqing came back, he saw the four of Li Ruosong were flipping through books leisurely, and the owner of the bookstore was standing at the door of the bookstore in a daze. He was a little puzzled, so he asked, "Master, who is this owner?"

"Did you bring the silver?" Li Ruosong did not answer Wang Ziqing's question, but asked Wang Ziqing if he brought the silver.

"I brought it. Here, the little one brought 20 taels. I think it should be enough." Wang Ziqing didn't ask further, but directly answered Li Ruosong's question.

"Well, go and ask Zize to see how much silver taels you need to pay in total." Li Ruosong ordered.

Wang Ziqing went away in response, and asked his younger brother about the amount of silver taels spent on buying books. Two for the shopkeeper."

Although he was surprised why Li Ruosong did this, Wang Ziqing was used to obeying orders, so he didn't ask any more questions, and directly counted 14 to [-] silver to Wang Zize.

Wang Zize paid the money, and said to the owner of the bookstore who was still standing outside the door: "Shopkeeper, pay the bill."

The owner of the bookstore didn’t know if he didn’t hear it or what, and he didn’t answer. Wang Zize called again, but the owner of the bookstore still didn’t respond. Wang Zize sighed, went to the door and patted the owner of the bookstore on the shoulder, saying: “The shopkeeper ,Bill, please."

"Ah? What?" The boss of the bookstore came back to his senses and asked in a daze.

Wang Zize repeated again, "Shopkeeper, please help settle the bill for the books we picked out just now. We have been out for a long time, and it's time to go back."

"Oh, oh, pay the bill, okay, come on, I'll pay you." The owner of the bookstore said as he walked into the bookstore.

The owner of the bookstore settled the accounts, Wang Zize handed over the silver taels, the owner of the bookstore took a look and said, "That's a lot, this guest officer, you gave too much silver taels."

Wang Zize turned his head in the direction of Li Ruosong, and said: "Our young master told you that the ten taels of silver will be given to you directly, and it can be regarded as compensation for the conflict just now, but we are not rich and powerful people. , what can be taken out is only these ten taels, please forgive me from the shopkeeper."

The owner of the bookstore was stunned for a moment, and said: "No need, I didn't expect you guys to be so magnanimous even though they came from the countryside. To tell you the truth, when you first came in, I felt a little contemptuous. It's just that I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen later, so I won't say too much, but young master He, everyone should be more careful. In Qingjiang Mansion, few people really dare to provoke him, even if the magistrate sees him , it’s all about giving some thin noodles.”

Before Li Ruosong could speak, Li Ruoshan suddenly said: "Is there no one to take care of him? Looking at him like this, he doesn't seem like a friendly person. I'm afraid he often makes troubles and oppresses the people."

The owner of the bookstore glanced at Li Ruoshan, and said: "This young master is still too young, you don't know, although this He family is not a big family, but the eldest sister of the He family is married to the Wan family. I am afraid that you have never heard of the eldest son of my family from the countryside. The daughter of the Wan family entered the palace as a court lady decades ago, and is now a noble concubine. For the prince, if there is no accident, the crown prince's ascension to the throne has already been decided, once the crown prince ascends the throne, Young Master He's sister will become the new emperor's aunt, and this young master He can be regarded as a relative of the emperor."

Hearing this, Li Ruosong glanced at Li Ruoshan with some worry, seeing that Li Ruoshan did not show any displeasure, he was slightly relieved, he thought for a while, and said: "No wonder this Young Master He acts so ostentatiously." Just now, when young master He left, he told the shopkeeper that there is no need to continue to open this bookstore, I wonder what the shopkeeper's plan is?"

Hearing what Li Ruosong said, the owner of the bookstore gave a wry smile, shook his head, and said, "What else can I plan, let alone this bookstore, even the big family at home may not be able to stay in Qingjiang Mansion any longer. However, it doesn’t matter, I didn’t intend to continue to open the bookstore at first, and I discussed it with everyone in the family a few months ago, and originally planned to move back to my hometown in a few days, but now I’m just moving out ahead of schedule.”

Li Ruosong pondered for a moment, and said: "Although the shopkeeper said so, this matter is still caused by me, how about it, if the shopkeeper's life in his hometown is not going well, you might as well come to Liujiagou in Xiahe Village to find us. Xiaosheng's surname is Li and his name is Ruosong, if the shopkeeper passes by, he can be found directly."
