"It's true, you waiter, others have been hungry for several days, but you are reluctant to give out even a bun." Li Xiuyuan said.
The waiter looked aggrieved and said: "The eldest young master is wrongly blaming the younger one. The shopkeeper has given alms to many people in the past few days. However, there are really too many people coming these days, and the shop cannot afford to give alms."
"Is this happening? Go and call the shopkeeper." Li Xiuyuan said.
The waiter responded and immediately went to call the shopkeeper. After a while, short and fat middle-aged men came out with apologetic smiles on their faces.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was making noodles inside, and I didn't know that the young master was here, so please forgive me." The shopkeeper said with some restraint, his hands stained with flour.
Li Xiuyuan asked: "I heard from your shop assistant that many refugees have come to Guobei County in the past few days?"
"Yes, there is something going on. In the past few days, several batches have come. Today is quite rare." The shopkeeper said quickly.
"Is there any charity?"
"Yes, there is charity. The shop has given out more than a dozen steamed buns and steamed buns these days. But as you know, young master, the shop is only so big, so it can't afford charity for a long time." The shopkeeper said with a look on his face.
Suffering.
Li Xiuyuan muttered: "It seems like there was a disaster somewhere, otherwise you wouldn't have so many refugees."
Then he asked: "Which shop do you rent from?"
"It belongs to the eldest young master." The shopkeeper was startled and stammered, thinking that the eldest young master was going to take the shop back.
Li Xiuyuan pointed at him and said: "I will waive your rent for three years, but you have to give out buns and steamed buns for a month in Guobei County. You have to help all those who are in trouble. Can you do it?"
"I can do it, I can do it, thank you young master." The shopkeeper suddenly said excitedly.
One month's charity is not worth three years' rent. Anyone will agree to this.
"Go and get busy." Li Xiuyuan waved his hand.
When he dismissed the shopkeeper, he looked at the family of refugees again.
"Man, where did you flee from? What happened to your family?"
The skinny man finished a bowl of soy milk, wiped his mouth, stood up and replied: "Hui Gong, the young man came from the north. He only fled for a living because his village was looted by barbarians.
That’s it.”
"So that's it." Li Xiuyuan thought a little after hearing this.
After a while, he added: "It's not easy for you to make a living in a foreign country. Why don't you settle down here in Guobei County? Go to the relief home for a month first. Then someone will arrange a job for you. Maybe
It's a bit hard, but life is no problem."
The almshouse was opened by his Li family, specializing in providing relief to the poor, children without fathers and mothers, and people in distress. It was considered a philanthropic act of immeasurable merit.
However, in addition to the widowed elderly and young children, the relief house only provides relief for the other poor people who have hands and feet and are free from illness and disaster for one month. After one month, they will be arranged to work in the Li family's workshop. If they don't agree,
Then let them go or stay.
The purpose of this is to avoid raising a group of lazy people and idlers who will waste their own money.
"Thank you so much, I'll take note of it," the thin man said hurriedly.
Li Xiuyuan nodded, stood up and left.
However, this man in distress said that his village had been plundered by barbarians. Could it be that there is another war in the north?
Thinking of this, his heart sank.
After passing through the bustling streets, Li Xiuyuan soon arrived in front of a mansion.
But I saw that this mansion was majestic and majestic. The courtyard wall was about ten feet high. Two huge stone lions stood in front of the door. There were servants guarding the house nearby, patrolling left and right. On the red-lacquered mahogany door, there was a golden nanmu door.
A plaque hangs high on it, with two solid gold embossed characters "Li Mansion" written on it. Compared with more than ten years ago, the Li Mansion's family business has become more prosperous.
It already has a wealthy atmosphere.
Although the Li family was the richest man in Guobei County more than ten years ago, it was a little less grand and a little more petty. But now the Li family is not only the richest man in Guobei County, but also the most powerful person in Guobei County.
, whose influence has enveloped the entire Guobei County and nearby villages of all sizes.
"The eldest young master is back."
When Li Xiuyuan strode over, the Li family's guards saluted respectfully one by one.
Li Xiuyuan nodded and walked into the mansion.
"I've met the eldest young master."
"Young Master is well."
"..."
Along the way, the maids and servants in the house stopped to salute as a sign of respect.
Perhaps after hearing the news of Li Xiuyuan's return, at the entrance of the lobby of Li Mansion, a middle-aged man with a wide body and fat body, wearing brocade silk and satin, walked out of the lobby with a smile.
"Haha, my Li family's Qilin is finally back. I haven't seen you for twenty-one days. I miss you so much as a father." Li Dafu's face was full of smiles, and his eyes were full of doting towards Li Xiuyuan.
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and then he cupped his hands and said: "My child has seen his father. He came here last night and made his father worried."
"My son has not been seen for a while, but he has become more and more heroic. He has a majestic air when he walks. Very good, very good." Li Dafu looked at it and nodded with satisfaction.
After saying that, he suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, last time I went out as a father, I brought you a good thing. I believe you will like it."
"What good thing?" Li Xiuyuan asked curiously.
Li Dafu smiled and immediately waved his hand.
Immediately, a beautiful girl wearing green clothes, with skin as good as snow and with uneven skin, walked out from the side with her head slightly lowered and a bit of a blush on her face. This woman's temperament was fresh and refined, unlike anyone in the world.
This time when Yingying came, there was a fragrance floating in the air, which made people enjoy it all over.
"Slave, Lu'e, I have met the master and the young master." Lu'e said respectfully and politely.
"My father worked hard to find this woman. Are you satisfied with giving her to me as my concubine?" Li Dafu said with a smile.
Hearing this, the beautiful girl named Lu'e secretly looked at Li Xiuyuan with a bit of shame. When she saw that Li Xiuyuan was tall and handsome, her beautiful eyes flashed and she moved a little.
It seems that thousands of people have been willing to become his concubine.
Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly, looking at the girl, and finally he saw a big fluffy tail swaying slightly behind this beautiful girl's butt, which was particularly eye-catching. When he saw this tail, his heart suddenly beat loudly.
Vixen~!
There is absolutely no mistake. This woman named Lu'e is a vixen, and I heard from her master that if a vixen can cultivate to the point where she can only see a tail, she will have at least five hundred years of Taoism. If she cultivates to a thousand years,
He can completely hide the demon body and transform into a human being. Even though he is born with an exquisite heart with seven orifices, it is difficult to see through it without opening his eyes.
As for monsters with five hundred years of Taoism, they are considered very powerful even in the Liao Zhai. You must know that many monsters just transform into human bodies and can easily reveal their prototypes, but those who have been cultivated are different. As long as they are not exposed,
I will never be seen as a demon at all, I am just like a normal person.
"Where did you find this woman's father?" Li Xiuyuan became a little wary.
It's never a good thing for a vixen to come to your door. His master said that whenever a vixen takes the initiative to pester someone, he must ask for something.
Li Dafu coughed twice: "I was passing by a village and saw someone selling his body to bury his father, so he bought it out of kindness for his father."
Li Xiuyuan immediately twitched the corner of his mouth: "Such a beautiful woman still needs to sell her body to bury her father? And she just happened to meet her?"
"Haha, as a father, you are very lucky. No one else can envy you. This woman is so beautiful that she is barely worthy of you. Although her status is low and she cannot be a wife, she can still be a concubine." Li Dafu said.
.
Li Xiuyuan smiled bitterly. It seemed that his father had not discovered the problem yet.
This is not a beauty, she is clearly a vixen. Why did you buy it cheaply?
This world is like a fairy tale world, with monsters and monsters emerging in endlessly.
"Father, our Li family cannot tolerate this woman, let her go." Li Xiuyuan said.
"What, let her go?" Li Dafu said in shock: "My father found this with great difficulty, and he is going to give it to you as a concubine. Why don't you want it and drive her away instead?"
He couldn't bear to let such a beautiful woman leave the house, and in his opinion, it would be best for this woman to be his son's concubine.
"Master, I don't know what I have done wrong. Please don't drive me out of the house." Lu'e suddenly showed a shocked face, and knelt down and begged with a tearful voice.
Li Dafu comforted him and said, "Don't worry, I will not kick you out of the house. As long as you serve my son loyally, even the silver locks of my Li family will be indispensable for you."
"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master. I will serve you well. I will never have any other ideas." Lu'e cried so hard that the pear blossoms were wet with rain, but she said with great joy.
