Chapter 102 The Prodigal Son

Li Xiaoyao returned to Liushu Hutong. Zhang Gouzi and Zhao Liushun were stretching their necks and waiting at the entrance of the alley. Seeing the car coming, they hurriedly followed them all the way back to the door of the house. Seeing Li Xiaoyao get out of the car, they hurried forward to report: "Fifth Master, more than a dozen people have been sent from the government, saying that they will be handed over to you."

"What about people? Where is it?" Li Xiaoyao hurriedly turned his head and asked. Zhang Gouzi pointed to the inverted seat next to the gate: "It's all locked inside. The people in the government said that they had something to do and refused to wait for the fifth master to come back and left! Zhao Liushun and I had to lock people in the house first. Zhang Gouzi explained that Li Xiaoyao stopped and thought for a moment. As he continued to walk inside, he raised his hand and shouted at Zhang Gouzi and Zhao Liushun: "You two come in with me first."

The two followed Li Xiaoyao all the way through the second door. As soon as they walked not far along the corridor, Lv Feng suddenly jumped out of nowhere, jumped over the corridor railing, rushed to Li Xiaoyao and asked, "Where have you been?" Without saying a word, I've been looking for you for a long time!"

"Where have you been? I didn't come back last night. I didn't see you when they left this morning. Where have you been? Li Xiaoyao bypassed Lv Feng and asked as he walked. Lv Feng smiled vaguely, as if he was a little guilty and said, "I didn't go anywhere. Just play casually. Where can I go?"

"Go to the top of Kaiping Mansion for a night? Well, I forgot to ask you, where did you get the money? The top card of Kaiping Mansion is not cheap. Where did you get your money for wine? Li Xiaoyao turned his head to look at Lv Feng and asked curiously. Lv Feng rubbed his nose and regrettedly. He must not ask where to go next time!

"Where did you get your money? What about the debt? Or is your little uncle accounting for you? How much money does it cost for this Kaiping Mansion to stay with him for one night? Li Xiaoyao stared and asked with a smile. Lv Feng cleared his throat and tried to look natural and plain, "I don't have much money. Didn't I tell you last time that Tianshi Mansion has a house in Kaiping Mansion, and there is a house with an account. I went there to pay the money."

"In this case, give me back the 1,000 taels of gold! I'm short of money now, and I'm using less money. Li Xiaoyao hurriedly smiled and urged him. Lv Feng spread out his hand and said, "It's not that I won't give it to you, but I can't afford it. When I go to the accounting room, I can only pay a maximum of 100 taels of silver at a time, and I can't spend more than ten times a month. How many months do you have to spend your 1,000 taels of gold? Besides, if I spend 1,000 taels in Yueyue, the stewer will have to tell the eldest brother that he will enter Kaiping Mansion in the twelfth lunar month. Let's still calm down and annoy him. In case he doesn't let me spend money for half a few months, it will be miserable!"

Li Xiaoyao turned his head and looked at Lv Feng and asked, "How much did you get yesterday?" One hundred taels? Is this the top card of Kaiping Mansion willing to play with you all night? Isn't it too cheap? Is that top card good on you? Are you willing to fall down?

"How much is one hundred taels enough? I had a discussion with the stewman for a month at a time.

"One thousand taels!" Li Xiaoyao suddenly stopped walking and turned his head and shouted strangely. Lu Feng turned his head uncontained and changed the topic: "Let's not talk about this. Where have you been? I found a kind of wine that you like•••••”

"One thousand taels of silver, no one penny left?" Li Xiaoyao is distressed by the 1,000 taels of silver. Is this a lot of money? This prodigal son!

"There is still a little broken silver. Anyway, it's almost next month. In these two days, it will be over with a hold." Lv Feng twisted his purse. I don't know whether he was comforting Li Xiaoyao or comforting himself. Li Xiaoyao exhaled heavily, his eyes turned slightly, and said obliquely as he walked, "I wanted to tell you about this a few days ago. I've been busy these two days and didn't care about it. Naturally, there is nothing wrong with you living in my house. It's just the same. There is no reason to eat and live for nothing, don't you think? If you live in my house, you have to pay for the house, meals, tea, water, lights and oil, flowers and trees, laundry and sweep the floor. Or, I think, you'd better move back to Lv's house. It's more comfortable than our family!"

Lv Feng blinked his eyes and looked at Li Xiaoyao. He looked back at Zhang Gouzi and Zhao Liushun, who followed them closely and stretched their ears to listen to them talking. He waved to them, pulled Li Xiaoyao's sleeves and walked forward a few steps, and asked in a low voice, "Are you angry? It's just some gadgets, you see•••••”

"Do you think I look angry?" Li Xiaoyao interrupted Lv Feng's words. She was not angry. She was distressed about the silver. Lv Feng stared at Li Xiaoyao doubtfully. Li Xiaoyao patted Lv Feng's hand, and then said on the topic just now: "Look at you, I said east. You say west. If you want to live in my house, it's not much, 200 taels of silver a month. If you can move back to Tianshi. Go to live in the house.

Lv Feng rubbed his nose in confusion and simply said, "Two hundred taels is two hundred taels! I still live here. What's good to live in Tianshifu?! Xiaoyao, let me tell you, I found the kind of turbid rice wine mentioned in ancient books. You must like it. It tastes like honey. With your drinking capacity, you can drink more than 70 or 80 cups. No wonder the ancients often drink one jar at a jar, and you can't get drunk even if you drink ten jars!" Lu Feng's eyebrows were flying.

"How many jars did you buy?" Li Xiaoyao asked with a smile,

"There are only two jars of wine. If no one orders this wine, the winery usually does not brew. These two jars are for confinement. Who knows that this wine has been brewing for two days. Before the child is born, it will be sour, so it will be resold to me. I have ordered it. Let the winery send two jars every five days. Let's go. Let's enjoy chrysanthemums. Go for a drink! The weather is just right today!"

"I still have something to do. Let's enjoy the flowers and drink with candles at night, and enjoy the fun!"

"Well, I'll go back to sleep first and find you when I wake up." Lv Feng readily agreed and sent Li Xiaoyao to the gate of the half-mu garden. Seeing that she took Zhang Gouzi and Zhao Liushun into the yard, he shook the fan and leisurely went back to Baicao Garden to sleep.

Li Xiaoyao ordered Zhang Gouzi and Zhao Liushun to wait outside the hanging flower door. They entered the main room by themselves. Wisteria and Begonia came out and waited on Li Xiaoyao to wash and change their clothes. Before Li Xiaoyao's order, Wisteria came over with a brocade bag and reported: "Fifth Master, the fold yesterday asked Nanning. Nanning said that because of those prisoners from Liang The country went straight to Kaiping Mansion. The master said that he would deal with it after seeing someone. At this time, this volume was the resume of 19 prisoners, and Nanning said that he asked him to bring it.

Li Xiaoyao nodded, took the volume of resume and turned it over first. He lowered his eyes and thought about it. He waved to call Wisteria and ordered, "You copy out the relatives and teachers of each person's family on this resume. Copy the words bigger. Each person has a piece of paper. I will use it in a moment." Wisteria promised, took his resume, and did not go out of the house. He took the pen and ink, and copied it with the little one next to him. Li Xiaoyao took over more than a dozen pieces of bamboo shadow paper and turned it over. He nodded with satisfaction, jumped out of the bed, held the paper and went out of the hanging door. He called a dog and Zhao Liushun, and handed more than a dozen bamboo shadow paper to a dog. "Look, can you read all the words?"

"Look at what the fifth master said! Although we haven't read the book yet, we have read almost all of this word. Mr. Fan praised me a lot!" Zhang Gouzi muttered and turned over the bamboo shadow paper. As soon as he turned to the third page, his face was bitter: "Fifth master, tell me, is this name recognizable or embarrassing? How to clean these strange words! This?"

"Are you not proud? The words you recognize are far from good! Well, don't care about those strange words. You don't have to know them all. Just recognize half of them. Listen to me. Li Xiaoyao's voice became cautious. Zhang Gouzi quickly collected the bamboo shadow paper and listened to Li Xiaoyao's instructions with Zhao Liushun.

"From today on, the 19 people in the doorman will be in charge of you two. Those people are all officials of Liangdi." Zhang Gouzi and Zhao Liushun looked at each other in con's sight. Li Xiaoyao continued, "But you don't have to worry about this. Anyway, they are nothing now. The first thing you two do is to find a large miscellaneous yard with a house leased on the street no less than two quarter of an hour away from our house. Don't want the whole yard. One yard, one yard, so that they can be separated, one for each person, a total of 19 rooms are rented. These 19 houses only pay one month's rent, "

Zhang Gouzi and Zhao Liushun blinked their eyes. Li Xiaoyu continued with a smile and said, "After finding the house, the second thing, the dog showed them the paper and told them, first, in the future, they will be free in this Kaiping Mansion, so they have to take half a step out of the city gate. Who dares to step out of the city gate, the one under his name All the names listed on the paper will be beheaded!" Li Xiaoyao made a head-killing gesture with a smile. Zhang Gouzi made a clever gesture. Zhao Liushun swallowed his saliva. Li Xiaoyao took care of his thoughts and then said, "You two should learn to look at your face. After saying this, look carefully at everyone's expression. If you are angry and frightened, this is the third thing. Tell them that in the future, they will have to support themselves. In this Kaiping Mansion, each show their magical powers and think about supporting themselves. Third, set the rules. Every day at the beginning of the day, you must report to our door. You two take turns to see people's drawings. If you don't arrive once, you will go to look for it. If you commit it again, take him to our courtyard. The door is standing as a porter for a day.

Zhang Gouzi and Zhao Liushun nodded with a smile. The job was not difficult and interesting. Li Xiaoyao thought for a moment and added, "Tell them again. If you don't have the ability to support yourself, just come and say it. The fifth master will take him into the house as a servant. Don't worry about food and clothing, and there is still a month's money. It's not early today. Forget it. I won't tell you much. You have to follow me and learn to use your brains to do things. From now on, the 19 people will be handed over to you. If you want to see it well, you should find the house as soon as possible. You two will discuss it. If you need manpower, go to discuss it with Mrs. Fan.

Zhang Gouzi and Zhao Liushun answered smoothly. Zhang Gouzi carefully put the bamboo shadow paper in his arms and quit to do this big event.
