Chapter 411 412 Sitting in the Restaurant, Coming to the Door

The news of Li Qing's move reached Li Fengqi's ears. Li Fengqi went home angrily and said to Laidi: "The people in the post house are saying that your cousin held a moving banquet two days ago, why didn't Ah Qing invite you? "

Laidi looked at Li Fengqi's angry look and lowered her head, not daring to look at him, "I don't know, maybe I was busy and forgot about it!"

Li Fengqi thought that she had been shopping all over Kyoto these days, and the explanations on the test questions she bought were just superficial. Thinking of this, she had to endure it, looked at Laidi and said softly: "Aqing's moving banquet has been organized, cousin She should be free now, so you can go and ask her today, and tell her that we don’t need your cousin to take the time to give me advice, just lend me his notes and insights."

After hearing this, Laidi felt bitter in her heart, but she nodded, went out and took the car to Zhou's house.

When Laidi arrived at the door of Zhou's house, she just told her disciples that she wanted to see Li Yu. Menzi looked at her and cupped her hands and said, "Madam, I'm sorry for you. My wife is unwell and is resting at home. She has stopped seeing guests for a long time."

Laidi said with a smile: "I am your wife's cousin, she will definitely meet me, please help me pass the message."

Menzi flatly refused, "No, my master has ordered that no one can disturb my wife's rest. Please go back!"

Laidi glared at the doorman and got into the car angrily and walked back. When she was almost at home, she was still thinking about how to explain to Li Fengqi when she got home. She felt worried for a while, and after thinking for a long time, she couldn't think of a way to fool her.

Laidi frowned and thought to herself: My cousin-in-law and Ah Qing can easily get on the gold list, why can't they do it in Fengqi? It’s true that Ah Qing was taught by her cousin-in-law, but her cousin-in-law didn’t have anyone to teach her in the first place! He is still on the list, so Feng Qi can go to high school on his own! That way I can feel proud in front of my cousin and mother! Why did he insist on asking his cousin to see other people's faces?

As Laidi thought, she heard the coachman talking, got out of the car and entered the house with a gloomy expression.

When Li Fengqi saw her look, he knew it was not possible. He was disappointed in his heart. He looked at her and said, "I have long suspected that you were kicked out by the Zhou family last time. Did you say something stupid to make them angry? You Why are you so impatient? What should I do now?"

"Why can't you get your name on the gold list by yourself? Zhou Jia also got his name by himself. Why do you ask me to beg for help in a low voice?"

Li Fengqi was speechless when asked by Laidi. She was stunned for a moment and looked at Laidi with disgust, "You are indeed an ignorant village woman."

Laidi looked at Li Fengqi's disgusted eyes and blurted out angrily, "Without me, an ignorant village woman, you would be just a poor scholar now. Don't think that I don't know. Without Ah Qing to guide you for more than half a year, you want to win... "

Before Laidi finished speaking, she turned around and entered the room, closing the door with a bang.

Li Fengqi was half choked to death by Laidi's words. He looked at the closed door and had no words to refute.

Laidi went into the room and lay on the bed, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Li Fengqi stayed there for a while, then turned around and went out. He stood on the street and looked at the endless flow of people. Suddenly, he felt a sense of desolation in his heart, feeling that there was no place for him in this prosperous capital.

Li Fengqi, who was full of desolation, walked into the Tongzhou Guild Hall, ordered some wine and food, and began to eat and drink. The wine filled his heart with sadness, which made him even more sad. He drank until he was extremely drunk, and he passed out on the table.

The shopkeeper in the lobby of the guild hall looked at Li Fengqi and shook his head, then turned to the waiter and ordered, "Agui, help Li Juren to the small courtyard rented by the Li family and hand him over to Mrs. Li."

Agui asked the shopkeeper in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, I see that the other two Juren have gone to sit in the restaurant. Is it possible for Li Juren to just sit back and have nothing?"

The shopkeeper knocked on the waiter and said, "Why are you meddling in other people's business? Take him back and hand him over to Mrs. Li."

Agui looked at Li Fengqi lying on the table and shook his head. He went over to help him to the small courtyard, knocked on the door, and handed the drunk Li Fengqi to Laidi.

Laidi and her mother-in-law helped Li Fengqi into the house. They looked at Li Fengqi lying on the bed drunk and unconscious, and said angrily: "I just said a few words to you, and you went out and came back drunk. Why didn't you do this before?" Woolen cloth?"

The mother-in-law said: "Madam, the master is feeling depressed, please don't blame him. I heard from the old sister who is working next door that Mr. Huang of his family went to work in a high-ranking official's house and the salary was quite high for a month. Please let him go. You can also earn some money to support your family by sitting in a restaurant with someone else."

After hearing this, Laidi thought so and nodded, "That's what you said. Go get some hot water to wipe the master."

After Li Fengqi woke up, Laidi looked at him and said: "But after I said a few words to you, you went out to drink. Didn't you also say something to me? I heard that Huang Juren next door went to an official's house to sit in a restaurant. Go find him and find out." Let’s see if I can help you find a job like this to earn some money to support the family.”

After hearing this, Li Fengqi thought: It seems that there is no hope for the Zhou family. It would be fine to find someone to sit in the house with an official. Once they get to know each other, they can rely on him or her.

"Okay, it's up to you. You go prepare some food and wine, and I'll ask Brother Huang to help introduce you."

Seeing that Li Fengqi readily agreed, Laidi responded happily: "Yes! I'll go shopping for groceries right now."

After Li Fengqi asked Huang Juren for help, it didn't take long before Huang Juren found a home for Li Fengqi to sit in the library, and Li Fengqi went to teach in peace.

***************

The news that Zhou Jia returned to Kyoto to serve as an official was spread to the ears of Zhou Rongxian, the Zhou family's old residence.

Zhou Rong first looked at the steward-looking man in front of him, widened his eyes in surprise and asked, "You said Zhou Jia returned to Beijing to serve as an official? When did it happen? Where does he live?"

The man looked at Zhou Rongxian, who was wearing rumpled clothes, arrogantly, "I live in the house at the end of Guihua Lane on East Street. You will know when you go and see it. It says it on the plaque!" The man left after saying that.

Zhou Rongxian looked at the man's back and laughed, "I never thought that little kid could be an official in the capital, okay, okay."

The man walked to a car and reported to the people in the car: "Madam, I have already told Zhou Rongxian."

The woman opened the corner of the curtain, and Yang's face was revealed, "Okay, you go find two idle men to guard near Zhou's house, and wait for Zhou Rong to go to Zhou's house first, and seize the opportunity to cause trouble."

"Yes." The man accepted the order and left. Yang knocked on the car and the car started to drive away.

The steward who delivered the news to Zhou Rongxian brought a man with a goatee and two idle men to the opposite side of the Zhou family. He pointed at the Zhou family and said, "If there is a tall, thin old man in rumpled clothes, come here." When there is trouble at the door, you take the opportunity to make noise and make the matter bigger. When the time comes, my master will give you the remaining money."

Goatee smiled and said: "Manager Yang, don't worry, my brothers are the best at this. As long as he makes trouble at the door, we guarantee to make things big."

Manager Yang nodded, "Do it well, it will be good for you."

Zhou Rong went back to freshen up first, then hired a mule cart and went to Guihua Lane, East Street. He got off the car and paid copper coins, and soon found the Zhou family.
