The 'three hundred taels' of silver that Huang Shaohong said he wanted to pay back, of course, he clearly told Li Xiuyuan that this was money to compensate him. Seeing that the latter felt unwilling to lose his front tooth, he happily increased the amount of silver to five hundred taels.

, the two of them happily concluded the deal.

The two bitches laughed tacitly, and Li Xiuyuan even invited Huang Shaohong in to talk.

As a result, Mother Li on the side stopped Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Xiuyuan, where did you get the five hundred taels of silver to lend to others!"

"Uh...this...that..."

Li Xiuyuan suddenly started hesitating about this and that.

Huang Shaohong smoothed things over for him: "Master Li won through gambling, cricket fighting, Cuju gambling, etc..."

Before she finished speaking, Mother Li's hand was raised high...

Half an hour later, in the Li Family Flower Hall, Li Xiuyuan, Huang Shaohong and Bai Suzhen faced each other. The former stretched out his hand to signal:

"Brother Huang, let's have some tea, and then let's talk about today's events. You have to give me an explanation."

The two had already agreed on their names before, so Li Xiuyuan was called Brother Huang.

Huang Shaohong smiled and picked up the tea cup, put it to his mouth and took a sip.

It has to be said that although everything in Tiantai County is an illusion, there are ups and downs among the illusions, and they are different in quality.

Just like the cup of tea in front of you, you feel the fragrance of the tea as soon as you pick it up. After taking a sip, you feel that it is sweet and refreshing. After drinking, the fragrance lingers on your teeth and cheeks, and the flavor lingers. This is the best Mingqian Longjing.

It was obviously an illusion, but it could deceive his sense of smell and taste, making people feel as if he had really drank the tea. Huang Shaohong would admire such an illusion that could deceive the senses, it was truly extraordinary.

After putting down the tea cup, Huang Shaohong smiled and said to Li Xiuyuan opposite: "This is also a misunderstanding. At that time, Brother Li asked me to kick the Cuju ball to you, but I accidentally used too much force..."

When he said this, he saw that Li Xiuyuan looked a little excited, and he quickly raised the issue of money: "Brother Li, don't worry, the five hundred taels of medicine will be paid for in a moment, and it won't be less than a tael of silver!"

Li Xiuyuan said angrily: "Did I talk about the Cuju incident? I'm asking you about this!"

He said, pointing to his bruised nose, swollen face and black eyes:

"I'm telling you, this is only on the surface. The chairs I sit on now are empty seats, and they hurt like needles. My parents hate gambling the most. You said in front of her that I fight crickets and gamble on football.

, aren’t you harming me? Just tell me how to deal with my beating!”

Huang Shaohong and Bai Suzhen couldn't help but smile when they saw his unlucky appearance with a bruised nose and swollen face. The former couldn't help but smile and said: "I am also a member of this class and don't understand your father's temper. Let me add 300 taels and 800 taels of silver."

Let’s make it up to Brother Li, that’s all right!”

Li Xiuyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his mouth, which was missing a tooth, cracked open and said with a smile: "Drink tea, drink tea, Brother Huang is righteous and has a bad temper with me!"

Just as he was talking, he saw Laifu running in in a panic: "Young... Young... Oops, old... old..."

Li Xiuyuan said impatiently: "There are very few old people. Are you annoyed? Don't worry, if the young master gets rich, you will definitely have a mouthful of soup..."

Laifu shook his hands: "No, young master, it's the master who is back!"

After Laifu finished speaking in one breath, he was so exhausted that he began to breathe. Li Xiuyuan's pupils shrank: "Damn it, you didn't tell me earlier..."

After saying that, he got up and ran away.

Huang Shaohong raised the corner of his mouth. He clearly heard the sound of footsteps approaching quickly, and they had already reached the door of the flower hall. Li Xiuyuan had no time to run away.

Sure enough, the next moment Taizhou Jiedushi Li Maochun walked in quickly and said helplessly: "Xiu Yuan, what have you done to dare not see me again, and why did you ask Laifu to report the news to you?"

Li Xiuyuan gritted his teeth and stood with his hands down, calling out bitterly: "Dad, you're back!"

Li Maochun glanced at Huang Shaohong and Bai Suzhen, a little surprised by their appearance, but the next moment his eyes were startled by the bruised and swollen look on his son's face.

He quickly asked with concern: "Xiu Yuan, how did you get this injury?"

"Uh...this is..." He was about to say that he fell accidentally.

At this time, Huang Shaohong cleared up Li Maochun's doubts and said: "This is because Brother Li was gambling and was beaten by the old lady Li!"

Seeing that his expression was quite sincere and he seemed to be stating the facts seriously, Li Xiuyuan's mouth trembled with anger and he pointed at him:

"you......"

Before he could finish his words, there was a "bang" sound, and he was kicked in the chest and fell to the ground.

Li Maochun lifted the hem of his clothes and said: "You little beast, I am the military governor of Taizhou. I have been skilled in both civil and military skills since I was a child. Are you deceiving me that I am old and frail, and that I am weak in fists and feet?"

After saying that, I rushed forward with a lunge...

Another half an hour later, Li Maochun angrily went back to the back hall to find his wife. In anger, he did not even greet the two guests Huang Shaohong and Bai Suzhen.

It seems that he probably regards Huang Shaohong as Li Xiuyuan's best friend.

Huang Shaohong looked at Li Xiuyuan, who was getting up from the ground with his face covered in blood, and said apologetically: "Brother Li, please forgive me, my biggest shortcoming is that I am outspoken..."

Li Xiuyuan stretched out his hand and made a stop gesture: "It goes without saying... I won't be done with you if I don't have two thousand taels of silver in this matter!"

Huang Shaohong flipped his hand, and a dazzling red gem appeared in his hand: "This gem is worth at least ten thousand taels of silver, Brother Li, keep it!"

Li Xiuyuan's eyes widened: "This is so bad, this is too much!" Before he finished speaking, the gem was already in his hands.

Seeing his appearance, Bai Suzhen, who was watching the show, covered her mouth and chuckled.

Li Xiuyuan also knew that he had lost his composure. He smiled awkwardly and said: "I can't help but ask for such an expensive gift, but if Brother Huang is convenient, let me play with it for two or three years, that would be great!"

Huang Shaohong waved his hand: "Hey...this is the money for the soup and medicine I gave to Brother Li. The rest can be regarded as a meeting gift to get to know Brother Li!"

Li Xiuyuan burst into laughter: "Look how bad this is, I'm not greedy for money, the main thing is that I just want to make a friend like you, Brother Huang, who is so outspoken!"

After saying that, he already held the ruby ​​in his arms.

He stood up and looked behind the flower hall, then turned around and said: "Brother Huang, since we are friends, you should tell the truth. What do you want me to do by giving you such a big gift?"

"I will make ugly remarks in front of you. My father is just a small governor with limited abilities. If I can't help, I won't refund you!"

Huang Shaohong smiled and shook his head: "Brother Li is joking. I just heard people say that the young master of the Taizhou Jiedushi family is a wonderful man, so I just want to get to know him. Now that I meet him, Brother Li is really an instant person!"

Li Xiuyuan looked at Huang Shaohong in surprise for a long time. Seeing his sincere expression, he suddenly laughed and said:

"Brother Huang is a wonderful person. Well, since we are both wonderful people and we are so congenial, why not cut off the chicken head and burn the yellow paper today and become brothers with different surnames!"

This time it was Huang Shaohong's turn to be surprised. He did not expect that Li Xiuyuan would propose such a thing as sworn sworn sworn relationship with him.

This made his mind spin in an instant, wondering whether this was Li Xiuyuan's own intention or the intention of the Dragon-Subduing Arhat behind him.

Speaking of which, being sworn to a Buddhist arhat, and the famous Living Buddha Jigong, does not disgrace his current status as an immortal.

The key point is that this person in front of me is a ruthless person who laughed out loud when his parents died and said it was a happy event!

His parents don't care. A sworn brother doesn't matter. Huang Shaohong is not that bold to be sworn brother with such a person.

While Huang Shaohong was still hesitating, Li Xiuyuan had already greeted outside: "Laifu, you bastard, go get the yellow paper and the chicken. Master, I want to sworn brother Huang!"

After a while, Laifu walked in with yellow paper and a turkey, aggrieved and said: "Master, you asked Laifu to get it, so Laifu went and got it. Why are you scolding my father and grandfather?"

?”

Li Xiuyuan pointed at him and cursed: "If you hadn't stuttered just now, the young master would have run away and let dad beat me again. Do you think you should scold me? And when did I scold your father and grandpa? I don't know."

Don’t know them!”

Laifu said plausibly: "If you call me a 'bastard', then I am a bastard. What is my father? What is my grandfather? If you don't call me father and grandfather, what are you?"

Li Xiuyuan was speechless when asked, and after a while he said: "I am paying my respects to your ancestors!"

The two were making noise when suddenly there was a noise outside, which was so loud that even Li Maochun and Mrs. Li in the back house were startled and came out.

Li Maochun snorted coldly at Li Xiuyuan, and then walked out with Mrs. Li.

Li Xiuyuan stuck out his tongue at his father's back, and then greeted Huang Shaohong: "Ignore them, Brother Huang, let's go to the backyard and cut off the chicken head to become sworn sworn friends!"

After saying that, I will come to pull Huang Shaohong.

Huang Shaohong was unwilling to do anything, so he immediately avoided Li Xiuyuan's pull and pointed forward with a smile: "Brother Li, let's see what happens in front!"

He said, taking the white lady's hand and walking outside.

Li Xiuyuan said depressedly: "I've found chickens, why are you watching the excitement?"

Laifu asked in a low voice: "Master, why do you insist on sworn sworn sworn relationship with him? We are not familiar with him!"

"You know nothing!" Li Xiuyuan said in a low voice: "This guy gave me ten thousand taels of gems as a meeting gift as soon as we met. He is a wealthy man. If we become sworn friends with such a person, will we still be short of money in the future?"

Laifu's eyes also showed sudden joy, and the master and servant looked at each other and smiled "hehehehe"!

Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but knock Laifu on the head: "You kid, your smile is more cunning than mine. Let's go and take a look in front. Remember to keep an eye on him. Don't let this guy get away. We must sworn sworn friends today."

!”

In response to Laifu's response, Li Xiuyuan quickly caught up with Huang Shaohong: "Brother Huang, wait..."

When several people arrived, Li Maochun asked what was going on, but the servants at home reported that it was a few common people who wanted to use the latrines of Jiedushi's mansion to relieve themselves.

Those people were a family of four, the two elders were the parents-in-law, and a young couple. Among them, the young woman was still pregnant, and her belly looked round, so she was probably about to give birth.

Seeing the person who made the decision come out, the old man in the family held his stomach and said, "Sir, we just had a bad stomach after eating out. Could you please borrow a hut?"

His son added on the side: "We can't hold it in any longer. If you don't agree, sir, we will come out soon!"

Li Maochun considered himself a good official and was willing to do good things to others. He immediately pointed in the direction of the latrine and said:

"We only have two huts, please do as you please!"
