Rebirth: Picking up a Little Husband

Li Chuyao stood at the gate of Su's other courtyard, waving at Su Yu who was turning back, and he didn't leave until he couldn't see anyone's back.

Lijia Rice Shop.

As soon as Li Chuyao stepped up the steps, the assistant rushed to the backyard in a hurry, shouting: "Steward, the second son is here."

"Close the door quickly! Hurry up!" Li Ren hurriedly raised his hand to signal, because he ran too fast, his beard was blown to one side by the wind.

The fresh-faced guy quickly closed the door and shouted outside: "The rice shop is closed today."

Li Chuyao didn't realize it at all. He took a step forward, blocked the door with his foot, raised his eyebrows, and said to the person inside: "If you try harder, my foot will be useless, but I can only stay in Yinan for the rest of my life." gone."

Standing behind the clerk, Li Ren's body froze, his eyes fell on that foot, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot in an instant, but he could only say: "Open the door, please come in the second young master."

As soon as the door opened, Li Chuyao stood up straight, flicked off the non-existent dust on his robe, and swaggered into the room. His eyes scanned for a week, and finally landed on the ledger left on the counter. Before Li Ren could grab it, he Stretching out his long hand, he took the ledger and read it.

"Guard Li, business has been going well these days."

Li Ren was sweating coldly on his forehead, afraid that his next sentence would mean borrowing money again.

"As expected of Manager Li, he managed the rice shop in an orderly manner." Li Chuyao praised him without hesitation, returned the account book to him, and went straight to the small living room for guests, where there was a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which was convenient for writing IOUs.

Li Ren sensed something was wrong and quickly followed.

Just as Li Chuyao was about to raise his hand to write the IOU, Li Ren quickly grabbed the pen and paper, and said bitterly, "Second young master, since you came to Yinan, the money you paid in advance at the rice shop is at least a few thousand taels. We are Xiaoben." Business, how can it withstand such a toss, how about you write a letter back to Yecheng and ask the master to send you some?"

"Yinan is not close to Yecheng."

"Second young master, the rice shop is really out of money." Li Ren looked puzzled. The lady sent a letter asking him to solve it by himself, and even reprimanded him.

"Guard Li, I checked, and there are still 500 taels." Li Chuyao rested his head on his hands, motioning him to continue editing.

Li Ren felt a pain in his forehead for this stubborn master, and even had the thought of blaming the lady for making random ideas. According to the past, he could still make some money, but now he can't get in and has to vomit out.How could he not be resentful?

Looking at his unpredictable face, Li Chuyao felt amused in his heart.

The Li family's rice shop will not be able to continue to operate for another two years. Li Ren seems to be loyal to the eldest lady, but his heart is big. How can the managers of the two shops satisfy him.

It's just waiting to get enough oil and water at the rice shop, and then go out and open a shop by yourself.

Zhang Xianglan thinks she is smart, but she is actually serving as a stepping stone for others.

"Second young master, the store expenses and the monthly salary of the clerk are all expenses. You can't just take care of yourself." In Li Ren's eyes, Li Chuyao is a second-generation patriarch who only knows about spending but does not make progress.

Li Chuyao changed one hand to support the head, and left the other hand free, knocked rhythmically on the table, and reminded, "Guard Li, it's getting dark."

Li Ren's face was ugly, and his long beard kept shaking.

Li Chuyao saw that he was very popular, so he changed his mind. Although the Su family is in the capital, although the ranking is not high, Su Yu still occupies a direct family, and the identity of the second son of the Li family in Yecheng is considered a good match.

If Zhang Xianglan jumps over the wall in a hurry and helps him leave Li's mansion early, he and Su Yu's marriage may have another accident, so let's wait until the matter between him and Su Yu is settled before exciting people.

Li Chuyao sighed regretfully in his heart, took a step back and said, "How about this, Manager Li, you pay me in advance this time. As for me, I will write a letter to Yecheng when I get back, and ask them to send someone to bring me some." Emergency."

Li Ren was skeptical, but he was afraid of Li Chuyao, so he became stubborn and refused to give in.

"Guard Li, I am still the second son of the Li family, so I must keep my word."

Being given a reassurance, Li Ren quickly forgot what Zhang Xianglan said at the beginning, the second son was full of arrogance, and he would never bow his head and write the IOU.He returned the pen and paper to Li Chuyao, and said earnestly, "Second Young Master, you can't win or lose in gambling, so it's better to go less. It's better to use money to do serious business."

Li Chuyao hummed, finished writing, and put it in his hand.

Li Ren couldn't put it into words, but he always had the subtle feeling of feeding the dog out of kindness. He collected the IOU and asked someone to pick up the bank note.Thinking that this might be the last time, he still did his duty and sent people to the door.

"Guard Li, there will be a date later." Li Chuyao smiled and waved to him.

Li Ren had a smirk on his face, no, Second Young Master, I just hope we never see each other again.

After getting the silver ticket, Li Chuyao did not come back immediately to come to the branch store, but found a beggar on the street and gave him two copper coins.

Beggar glanced at him, thanked him with a smile, and left with the bowl.

At the same time, the Su family's letter happened to be delivered to Zhang Xianglan.

"Mother, who sent it?" Li Yusi straightened up and took a look, full of curiosity.

Zhang Xianglan glared at her, and taught her a lesson while opening the letter: "You will be fifteen next year. If you get married, you will look like this. Others will only say that you are not a good mother, and you will lose face of your husband's family."

Li Yusi pouted, and hugged her arm coquettishly: "Aren't I only in front of my mother?"

Zhang Xianglan poked her on the forehead, "You are the only one who is poor."

"Mother, read the letter." Li Yusi giggled, obviously not paying attention.

Zhang Xianglan couldn't help it, who made Li Siyu her daughter, besides, she was the only young lady in the mansion, with her grandmother, father and elder brother caring for her, it was inevitable that she would develop a temperament of arrogance and arrogance.

But it doesn't matter, with the Li family's status in Yecheng, there is no way to worry about finding a suitable husband's family.

Zhang Xianglan spread out the letter paper, and the further she got to the back, the deeper her frown became. Did the Su family in the capital want to marry the Li family, or did they want to marry the twin sons of the direct line.

"Mother, but you want to marry your second brother?" Li Yusi only saw a corner of it, but he could guess a little bit from those words.

"He's your kind of second brother, he's just a bastard! You only have one elder brother, Li Changwei, and you're not allowed to call him that in the future." Zhang Xianglan's eyebrows were sharp, her voice was sharp, and she was vaguely angry, as if she wanted to tear people apart.

Li Yusi was taken aback by Zhang Xianglan like this, she bit her lip aggrievedly, and nodded cautiously under Zhang Xianglan's watchful eyes.

"You go back to your yard first. You are not allowed to tell anyone about this matter, and you just pretend it never happened."

Although Li Yusi was puzzled, he could only follow suit.

"Qing Cui, send Miss back."

"Yes."

As soon as the people left, Zhang Xianglan read the letter again, but the more she read it, the more she felt that something was wrong. How could Shuang'er, a direct descendant, be sent to the desolate Yinan?

She suppressed the doubts in her heart, and ordered the maid outside, "Go and call the servant next to the master."
