Chapter 13 White Jade Pendant

One day at a time, one month at a time.

Li Guanyi suddenly felt that the girl in front of him, who was only a year or two older than him, was emitting a golden light.

However, does one get such treatment just to accompany a reading boy?

The girl opposite who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old smiled slightly and said:

"Please don't dislike me if I ask you to be my little brother's math teacher."

Naturally, Li Guanyi would not refuse such a good job. Although the sixty guans were more and were gold and silver of extremely high value, they would not be visible to anyone in a short period of time. Moreover, not to mention that when he left Chen Guo, he would have a lot of gold and silver on hand.

The more silver, the better, and even daily life can be better.

He had no reason to refuse.

When leaving after a while.

There were several masters bidding farewell to Miss Xue. Master Liuzhuang who had talked about sutras before was also there. The smile on his face was much more sincere. Different from asking Li Guanyi to wait in the yard before, he personally sent them out with a smile on his face.

Stop, ask for help.

Seeing that Li Guanyi also went with Miss Xue, Fu Xu naturally smiled and said: "What a blessing. You don't want to work here, but you have a better place to go."

"Brother Li, don't you have to thank me too?"

"If you ask me, I don't need to thank you too much. I don't need to thank you too much."

Li Guan said: "Thank you Master for a word."

He looked at the Confucian scholar with a gentle smile, asked for paper and pen, wrote a sentence, gave it to him, and then went out with the eldest daughter of the Xue family.

The smile on Liuzhuang's face gradually faded, and he casually threw the piece of paper down without even looking at it.

"It seems that Guo is a little annoyed with me. Sure enough, it is difficult to raise a villain and a woman."

Normally, he wouldn't mind agreeing to the Huichun Hall's favor, but this time it was different. Jiangzhou, the capital of Chen State, was about to have a big event. An old fortune teller who had been away from Kyoto for a long time was in a hurry to return to the capital.

I have to intercede for that Commander-in-Chief Yue.

When passing by here, you will meet aristocratic families and settle down in a private school.

At this time, every position in Sutra Sutra Hall is extremely important and cannot be given for free.

He even inquired about a question posed to his students in the book written by the master of sutra calculation, and gave it to his favorite disciple in advance, hoping to show off his talent. After a while, he saw a smile on his disciple's face.

Man came over and watched them answer the questions again, with joy on his face.

Ah! The future is bright!

Liuzhuang praised him repeatedly.

"As expected of my master's disciples, I know that you have great talents."

However, these students all looked troubled. Nowadays, countries are competing for power, but there are still gentlemen walking around. They are young and at the most energetic and proud age in their lives. They are unwilling to covet other people's things and say: "We did not solve it."

Liu Zhuang said: "Who made it?"

The young man was confused: "Huh? Didn't Mr. just call him in?"

Liuzhuang was startled and his eyes widened: "You mean...that, that, that..."

The young student replied: "It is the man in simple clothes."

This sentence is very common.

But for some reason, Liu Zhuang's face turned green and white. Suddenly he remembered something. He picked up the white paper that he had just thrown away and unfolded it. Thinking of letting go of the opportunity of Tongtian, he staggered back and sat down.

He fell to the ground, the white paper fell, and he punched the ground hard, but he said angrily:

"You, you, you, you... scoundrels!"

"Why didn't you tell me the news earlier!"

"What a mistake!"

The students looked at each other in confusion and didn't know why the teacher was angry. They saw a few big words on the white paper.

It's written like a dragon and a phoenix dancing.

"How could you be so arrogant before and be respectful later?"

………………

Li Guanyi and the driver sat in front of the carriage. He looked at the scenery on both sides for the first time in the middle of the avenue. He thought about Master Liuzhuang's expression when he learned that he had solved the problem and saw the letter, and his mood changed.

Get comfortable.

He Li is not big-minded. If you are good to me, I will be better to you.

If you insult me, I will never tolerate you.

Hit someone in the face, kill someone in the heart.

The coachman had a good whip and drove the horse forward with great agility. While Li Guanyi was answering the question of the eldest lady Xue Shuangtao, he was thinking about another thing in his mind.

Thirty taels of silver per day and thirty taels of silver per month can be converted into more than 20 taels of silver.

You are considered rich in Guanyicheng. Thirty guan of money is enough to replace the house where you can look up at the stars, lower your head to kill ants, and occasionally kill a few mice, to a house with brick and stone paving, and a

A room with a heater and comfortable beds, and wooden furniture inside.

You can change clothes for yourself and your aunt, and eat some good vegetables and fruits.

Also, bring back my aunt's jade pendant.

Li Guan glanced at the pawn shop not far away, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Miss Xue, I have a heartfelt request..."

Xue Shuangtao smiled and said, "Sir, please tell me."

Li Guan asked: "Can I advance ten thousand dollars?"

The eldest daughter of the Xue family was slightly surprised, and immediately noticed Li Guanyi's white washed clothes and the clothes that although neat had rough edges, she thought thoughtfully and said in a gentle voice: "I was negligent, you were hired.

Sir, according to the rules, you should have been paid one month’s salary.”

The maid Qing'er in the carriage was stunned and looked at her young lady with wide eyes.

Um?

Uh-huh?!!

Since when did our family have this?

Xue Shuangtao put his fingers against Qing'er's lips, blinked his eyes, and made a gesture of silence, and then said softly: "I just saw Mr.'s amazing skills. I was so happy for a while that I forgot about it.

, please don’t blame me, sir.”

"Qing'er, take thirty taels of silver and give it to sir."

Thirty taels of silver is actually equivalent to thirty-six guan of money.

Li Guan took it, thanked him softly, and then said, "Can you stop at the pawn shop in front? I have something belonging to an elder that I pawned, and I want to redeem it."

The coachman smiled and said: "It is necessary to be filial to your elders. Sit tight, little sir."

With a flick of his whip, the carriage stopped at the pawn shop. Li Guan got off the carriage and went to the pawn shop. When he first came here, he pawned a living pawn, which could be redeemed as long as it was not bought by anyone. Li Guan

I was worried that it would take too long and the thing would be gone, so I walked in with thirty taels of silver in my pocket and expressed my intention.

But when the pawnshop owner saw Li Guanyi, his expression changed slightly.

When he heard that Li Guanyi was coming to redeem something, his eyes turned to one side.

Li Guanyi's heart sank slightly.

Sure enough, a look of regret appeared on the shopkeeper's face, and he said sheepishly: "I still remember your jade pendant, but unfortunately, a customer has already taken a fancy to it..."

The curtain of the pawn shop was opened, and a young man walked out with a jade pendant and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Wang, this jade pendant is really good. I took it and the money will be recorded in my account. You can just send it to my house at the beginning of next month."

As soon as Li Guan recognized it, this young man was the former young master of Huichun Hall.

He didn't care about this, but he immediately saw that this was his aunt's jade pendant. He took half a step forward, stopped the young man, and said without being humble or arrogant:

"Unfortunately, I need to redeem this jade pendant today."

The young master of Huichun Hall glanced at Li Guanyi and saw that he was wearing simple clothes. He frowned, flicked the hem of his clothes in disgust, and said, "Yours?"

"Hahahaha, unfortunately, this jade pendant is mine now."

Li Guanyi said in a deep voice: "According to the rules of the pawn shop, if you haven't paid the money, it won't be considered as bought; I'm pawning it, and I can redeem it before the jade pendant comes out of the pawn shop."

The young man was speechless for a moment, but he recognized Li Guanyi as his fired boy. His confidence emerged, he looked up and down, and sneered: "Redeem it? Young man, you should spend the money yourself."

, Master, I want this thing."

He scolded: "Get out of the way, don't get in the way."

He raised his hand to push Li Guanyi away. Li Guanyi lowered his eyes and the energy inside his body was flowing.

There was the sound of gentle footsteps.

The clothes were fluttering, carrying the faint fragrance of orchids, and a gentle voice sounded next to him: "Mr. Li, why is it so late? Something happened to the pawn shop and you couldn't get it back?"

Xue Shuangtao stood next to Li Guanyi.

The eyes of the shopkeeper and the young master of Huichun Hall froze for a moment.

This is……

Xue family?!!

The beautiful girl gently folded her hands in front of her body and stood next to the plainly dressed young man. She raised her eyes slightly, looked at the right hand of the young master of Huichun Hall, and smiled slightly:

"This young master extended his hand to my Mr. Li. What do you want to do?"
