Lie Yan pulled up a stool and sat down. This position was neither far nor close, allowing him to move forward and retreat freely, and he was capable of both offense and defense.
The Protector's eyes moved. Lie Liangji frowned, while Lie Liangan glanced at Li Yan inquiringly.
The Protector sighed in his heart: This child is naturally proud and defensive, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage.
As a military commander, he has a good sense of guarding against others, but they are grandparents and grandchildren. How could this kid's unconscious little action be a little hurtful?
Lie Yan sat down and said straight to the point: "I'm here because of money?"
Lord Protector Lie Pinglu took a sip of tea, suppressed the little sadness in his heart, and said warmly: "Yes, you have to give a reason for taking so much money, right?"
Lie Yan glanced at the guard at the door, pulled the stool forward, leaned forward and whispered: "It's a long story..."
The four men leaned forward and muttered together.
Lie Yan left the study.
The three of them were silent in the study.
Lie Liang'an suddenly said: "Dad, why don't you send a few more secret guards to Mr. Yan? I didn't expect that this capital is not peaceful either."
Someone actually dared to kidnap Lie Yan. No wonder he disappeared suddenly those days.
Lie Liangji shook his head, he still understood his son.
"Dad, do you believe that Yan'er sold himself to a village girl to be his master in order to escape?"
With his son's temperament, how could he let the people who dared to rob him live? How about selling himself? This is not something his son can do.
Lord Protector Lie Pinglu frowned.
He knew how violent this grandson was.
A five-year-old child killed a hunting dog. He still clearly remembered the fierceness in the child's eyes.
Not to mention his biological grandfather, even his parents respect him more than being close to him.
Let him take the initiative to sell himself and recognize his master...
But this kid is not a fool. Even if he lied for money, he wouldn't tell such a lie, right?
"Lao Wu, find out the title deed of the house in Huaishu Lane and send it to Yan'er. You'd better get the thirty thousand taels of silver back."
Lie Liang'an was stunned, that house cost more than 30,000 yuan?
The Protector raised his eyes and glanced at him, then whispered: "Send someone to watch."
It's easier to send someone to watch the house than to watch the thirty-thousand-tael banknote.
Lie Liangan understood and hurriedly turned around and left.
Lie Liangji asked worriedly: "Dad, doesn't Yan'er look like he's being threatened?"
"Is he someone who can be threatened?" The Protector sighed, "I'm afraid he will be confused. After all, he is still a child."
Lie Yan excitedly prepared a house for Xiao Mian, and even made up an excuse like Xiao Mian: selling himself to his master.
He didn't want his little master to be looked down upon because of his status.
He has seen too much snobbery in his family.
He just wants to tell his family clearly that he is my master. If he looks down on her, he looks down on me.
…
This winter, the Li family is not planning to do the candied haws and sugar snowball business. After the news leaked, the Li family suddenly became lively.
"If your family doesn't do it anymore, can you teach us?"
"Yeah, it's winter, and there's really no way to make money. The big girl is kind-hearted, so she just feels sorry for us."
"That's right, big sister, if your family still does it, we won't open our mouths."
Xiao Mian frowned and looked at the two most cheerful people in the crowd.
One was a widow from the village. She didn't know her name. She only heard others call her Scarlet Lady.
There is also a middle-aged man named Hantou.
After hearing this, Mrs. Li was unhappy and said: "We won't do it this year, but we can't guarantee that we want to do it next year? This is all a craft to support people, why should we teach you?"
"Hey! What did his second aunt say? We are not outsiders. He taught me, and I will go around the master in the future."
The Scarlet Lady slapped her thigh and shouted loudly, "Wherever you sell, I will hide eight miles away and promise not to steal business from you."
That’s weird! Xiaomian complained.
"That's right, second sister-in-law, don't worry, if you do this business next year, I promise I won't make any money from you next year."
The fool was also shouting, almost swearing to the sky.
There was a lot of noise in the yard.
Mrs. Song frowned and looked at everyone, then suddenly smiled.
When she smiled, everyone was stunned.
Someone asked in a low voice: "What does Zhichujia mean? Is this consent?"
Someone said: "I see it hanging."
"I wonder why you should teach outsiders how to survive."
"Then you still come to join in the fun?"
"I just came to take a look, what if something happens?"
"Me too. If my aunt teaches me, I will follow suit. Maybe this winter I can earn new clothes for my baby to wear for the Chinese New Year?"
Everyone whispered to each other and looked at Mrs. Song expectantly.
Mrs. Song smiled and signaled everyone to be quiet. She said loudly: "No one can spread the skills that we originally expected to survive."
Someone commented: "Look, can I just come here for free?"
Mrs. Song glanced at the man and continued: "Although it is a craft for survival, we live in the street, so you can learn it if you want."
Mrs. Song glanced at the second daughter-in-law of the main family in the crowd and said, "I will talk to Uncle Li Zheng and ask Uncle Li Zheng to arrange for everyone to come over and learn."
Mrs. Li said unhappily: "Everyone, go back. There are so many people, and my family can't even fit in. Go back and find Uncle Li Zheng to sign up and queue up."
The Scarlet Lady murmured: "So many people have learned it, is this possible?"
Originally, she wanted to learn it by herself, but she was afraid that Mrs. Song would not agree, so she tricked a few people into coming to support the scene.
But I didn't expect that people would gather more and more after they got the faith. Now, everyone in the village can learn from it.
With more people, can this business still make money?
Ms. Song didn't know the thoughts of the people in the village. She was now focused on dressing up her three girls.
Especially Da Mai, after applying the whitening cream for a few days, my skin became noticeably smoother.
In order not to affect the production of frostbite ointment at home, Li Benshan negotiated with Li Zheng.
In the back room of Li Benshan's old house, he taught everyone how to make candied haws and sugar snowballs.
The husband was Mr. Li, who was not very happy.
Li Benshan said of her: "Since you have decided to teach everyone, don't be so embarrassed that if you teach others, you won't be left behind."
Mrs. Li became much more easy-going now.
Xiaodao didn't understand why he wanted to teach everyone his own craft.
Damai thought for a while and said, "There are neighbors living in the street. Maybe I don't want to offend anyone."
Mrs. Song sighed, glanced at everyone, and then explained: "We are all neighbors, and we are all poor and troubled. Since our family is not doing anything, let everyone spend the money."
In fact, Ms. Song has a very soft heart. As long as it doesn't involve a few children, she is a very tolerant person.
Xiao Mian said: "The main reason is that we are too weak. If we were strong enough, who would dare to come and make trouble?"
Xiao Sanshun suddenly said: "When I grow up, our family will become stronger."
Mrs. Song quickly picked him up and said, "Oh, our Sanshun is still so powerful. Is the aunt just waiting for our Sanbao to grow up quickly?"
Yes, this has become the Three Treasures.
Damai teased Sanshun: "Bao, our family is counting on you, right?"
The little guy raised his head proudly: "Don't worry, eldest sister, I will carry you to get married."
In the hearts of little guys, the brother who marries his sister behind his back is the most prestigious.
Because after the bride gets on the sedan chair, her mother's brother will give instructions and scold the groom, and the groom will bow his head and be obedient.
"You kid, what are you talking about?"
Damai blushed and ignored him in embarrassment.
The Li family is lively and warm. In Fucheng, Li Xiangyuan also welcomed the Zhao family and his party.
