Chapter 15: Marriage

"Mr. Li, this book and silver are placed on the table." A maid put it on the table with more than 20 books, next to it was five hundred taels of silver.

"Yes." Li Si replied, then asked as if he had thought of something: "Is these all the books in the mansion?"

"Yes, Mr. Li." The maid responded.

"Oh." Li Si nodded when she heard this, and waved her hand: "Then you go down, I want to read a good book."

After the maid went down, Li Si fell into thinking and the room fell into silence for a moment.

Li Si was thinking about how there were forty or fifty books in his family. The Zhang family was so rich and only had more than twenty books. In the original owner's memory, his parents were just ordinary people, so why did there be a big house in the city?

Suddenly, Li Si's head suddenly hurt. This made him cover his head with both hands, and his fingers penetrated into his hair, pinching his scalp.

"Ah!" A voice of depression and pain came from the room.

Suddenly, two voices of a man and a woman rang in her mind.

"Si'er, Dad told you a marriage, are you happy?"

"Mom has brought you a book, and you can read in the future."

"Don't blame your parents, you're all for your own good."

"We don't have to live so hard to get married to the Nie family. My parents are sorry for you."

"When you pass the exam, you will get married to her. I am a miserable child."

"Run, run!!!"

The depressed screams in the room slowly weakened, and Li Si put his hands off his head. Only then did he realize that his whole body was soaked in sweat.

He remembered that the original owner was very poor when he was young. His father was a bad gambling man, and his mother was just an ordinary village woman. It was not an exaggeration to use the family to be barely idled. All of this changed when he was five years old. His father told him that he had found a marriage for him, and his family could afford a house and he began to have books to read.

He also suddenly remembered the cause of the death of the original owner's parents. His parents wanted to break the engagement with the Nie family and went out for seven days. When they came back, they were already dead. The original owner suddenly forgot about this matter.

"It turns out that I can study hard like this because of a engagement, and there is a big house at home." Li Si's mouth was outlined with a smile, but this smile was a bit reluctant and bitter. The original owner was clearly sold by his parents, and the sale was definitely not a good place. Maybe he just told him about Men Mingqin or something.

But now there is nothing to do with the original owner. It is my own business now, and this marriage is my own.

"But there is no way." A light of inspiration flashed through Li Si's head. He suddenly remembered that in the conversation he had just remembered, there was a saying that he could get married when he passed the imperial examination.

Then you just need not take the imperial examination or fail the exam yourself. Moreover, the provincial examination will be taken in August. It is only May and there are three months left. There is no need to be so anxious or panic at this time. After all, you may be able to break the deadlock easily after three months.

Li Si took a breath, and after thinking through his thoughts, he felt comfortable. Now he was thinking about how to get out of this Zhang Mansion.

"Dong...Dong..." Suddenly, a knock on the door sounded, which scared Li Si.

"Mr. Li, are you okay?" The maid's voice came from outside the door.

"It's okay, I just fell down." Li Si shouted to the maid outside.

"Okay, Xianggong Li can call me anytime if he needs it. My name is Xiaolan." After saying that, the footsteps outside the house were getting farther and farther away.

When the sound was no longer heard, Li Si began to flip the books on the table, and he found that most of these books were books such as the Four Books and Five Classics.

Li Si also felt that there was nothing to do now, so he took the book and started reading it. It was strange to say that he was fascinated by the time he saw it. He only felt that the meaning of the scriptures in this book was indeed very exquisite. After careful consideration, he felt that it was even more wonderful. He actually calmed down and studied it.

All of this is because he has the memory of the original owner, otherwise he would only find it obscure and difficult to understand after reading this.

"Dong...Dong!"

"Dong...Dong!"

"Dong...Dong!"

"The sky is dry, be careful of the fire and candle!" Suddenly, an even more sound came from outside, awakening Li Si from her obsession with studying.

"It's Xu time." Li Si was stunned. He read for five or six hours, without feeling that time had passed.

"Dongdong..." A knock on the door came from outside, and a woman's voice came: "Mr. Li, I am Xiaolan. The master and his wife have something to do and I'll bring you the food."

"Well, okay, you brought it in." Li Si responded, and a pretty woman walked in from outside the door with a tray. This woman was the woman who woke Li Si up before.

"You put the food on the table." Li Si put the books on the table aside, leaving a large blank space, just enough to put the tray down.

When Xiaolan put down the tray, Li Si frowned slightly. There were two dishes and one soup in the tray, and a bowl of rice. The two dishes and one soup were vegetarian dishes, and there was no meat at all. This was completely different from what I ate at noon. More than a dozen dishes were meat dishes, but now they were all vegetarian dishes.

"It's strange." Li Si's heart jumped, and then took advantage of Xiaolan's cooking and took out the gossip mirror to take a look. But she saw that Xiaolan in the gossip mirror was still like an ordinary person.

"Not a ghost." Li Si let out a sigh of relief in her heart, and then asked Xiaolan: "Do you know that the Zhang family is haunted?"

When Xiaolan heard Li Si suddenly talk about the haunted thing about the Zhang family, her hand shaking suddenly, and some of the soup was sprinkled out.

"Of course I know this." Xiaolan's face turned a little pale, and a hint of fear appeared in her eyes.

"Then why do you dare to stay in the Zhang Mansion?" Li Si's question was just remembered. If the Zhang Mansion was haunted, why would the people from the Zhang Mansion still dare to stay in the Zhang Mansion without fear of being killed by ghosts?

"You are too worried about your concerns," Xiaolan smiled reluctantly, and then said, "The Zhang family is mainly haunted in Blue and White Garden. As long as you don't go to Blue and White Garden, it will be fine."

A look of sensation suddenly appeared in Li Si's eyes, and she smiled and said, "It's okay, you go out."

"Okay, Mr. Li, I'll come to get the dishes and chopsticks later." Xiaolan retreated in response.

Li Si picked up the chopsticks and started to eat them. At first, she was fascinated by studying but she didn't feel hungry, but now she felt hungry.

Just when Li Si was eating it smelled good, she suddenly felt a little creepy, as if something was staring at him behind her back.
