A knife in love

Chapter 2396
Seeing that Wu Xiucai refused to admit it, Mother Li immediately changed her face, as if covered with a layer of frost, and said with a sneer: "Mr. Wu, this joke is not to be taken. If you didn't say that you were destined to be with Le Niang, you would fall in love at first sight." You must marry her. How can the old woman let Le Niang send you back? Although Le Niang is a widow, she is also a chaste woman. If the old woman is worried about the character of the husband, she will never let Le Niang and the husband be alone. Men, widows, and women live in the same room."

Embarrassed, Wu Xiucai twitched the corners of his mouth a few times, showing a wry smile, then turned his head to look at Bai Weiwang who was sitting by the bed, and asked hesitantly, "Mr. Bai, was Wu really so aggressive last night? ?”

Bai Wei secretly glanced at Li's mother, laughed dryly, and said, "Well, let's listen to Li's mother."

When Wu Xiucai saw Bai Wei talking like this, he thought he was in a dilemma and refused to tell his ugly face face to face. He became more and more convinced that after he was drunk last night, his words and deeds were shameless, and he proposed marriage to Li's mother, which made Li Leniang fall in love with him last night. some.Thinking of this, although he felt somewhat ashamed in his heart, he was more joyful.

Mother Li stared at Wu Xiucai and said, "The old lady just heard two embarrassing things from my husband outside the door. I don't know what it is. Please tell me, the old lady may be able to help."

Embarrassed, Wu Xiucai murmured, "I...I...it's too hard to say..."

Seeing Wu Xiucai squirming, Li's mother got impatient, reached out and patted the table hard, and said loudly: "Mr. Wu, you have already spent the night with Le Niang, and you are regarded as the son-in-law of the old lady. Your business is Regarding the matter of the old lady, just say what you have to say, don't be polite."

Wu Xiucai felt more and more embarrassed seeing Li's mother being so persistent, and couldn't help but turned to look at Bai Wei, showing a begging look.Seeing Wu Xiucai's appearance like this, Bai Wei knew that he had something difficult to say, so he smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Wu, although we have only known each other for two days, Bai regards you as a close friend. If you have anything to say, feel free to say it." Yes, don't have the slightest scruples."

Wu Xiucai felt at ease when he saw that Bai Wei was taking care of everything.He scratched his hair and said in his mouth: "Mr. Bai, this matter... It is really hard for Wu to talk about this matter."

Bai Wei said with a smile: "The matter has come to this point, so let's just talk about it. Bai is not talented, if Mr. Bai needs my help, I will do my best, Mr. Wu just don't worry."

Wu Xiucai gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, okay. Mr. Bai is also a scholar, so he naturally knows the suffering of a scholar. To be honest, this time Wu went to Beijing to rush for the exam, and he did not bring much money. On the way, he fell ill. In order to cure the disease, most of the money was spent. After arriving in Bianliang, Tokyo, he missed the imperial examination, and there was not much money left. In desperation, Wu had to rent a house, open a museum and teach apprentices, hoping to earn some money to make ends meet , in order to wait for the reopening of the examination room, so as to win fame. Unexpectedly, people are not as good as heaven, and the golden men invaded Bianliang City. Wu had to abandon the library and fled outside the city like a bereaved dog. At that time, Wu But the remaining four or five qian is spent in scattered silver, all the way to escape here, the four or five qian in scattered silver is almost spent, she is really shy, how dare she marry Le Niang as his wife?!"

After Wu Xiucai finished speaking, Bai Wei naturally understood what he meant.But Mama Li is an illiterate old woman, she doesn't know what Ruan Nang is shy at all, so after hearing Wu Xiucai's words, Mama Li was surprised, looked at Wu Xiucai, then turned her gaze to Bai Wei, and said: "Mr. Wu said a lot of things, what exactly do you mean?"

Bai Wei knew that Mama Li didn't understand, and he despised her in his heart, but his face remained the same, he smiled slightly, and said: "Mr. Wu went to Beijing to rush for the exam, encountered a military disaster, and escaped desperately, throwing everything away. In the city, because they are not very rich at the moment, it is really powerless to marry Le Niang."

Before Bai Wei finished speaking, Mama Li slapped her thigh with her right hand and said loudly: "I thought it was some great event, but it turned out to be because of money! Mr. Wu, you can put your heart in your stomach. Don’t want your gold and silver mountains, what’s the trouble?!”

Wu Xiucai sighed, and said: "Mother Li is so kind, Wu is really grateful. But even if Mother Li doesn't dislike Wu's penniless, betrothal gifts, weddings and banquets, more or less It will also cost some silver..."

Before Wu Xiucai could finish speaking, Mother Li smiled and hurriedly said, "It's all free! Le Niang is not a big girl, she is remarried, and Mr. Wu is not a local. There are no relatives and friends here, and there are banquets and so on. Just ignore it. As long as husband and Le Niang love each other after they get married, it's better than anything else."

Wu Xiucai shook his head, with a gloomy face, and said, "Even if we don't have a happy event, we will always need to spend money in the days to come. Wu has not yet obtained a degree in the examination, and he is a scholar with no power to restrain himself. I don't know How to work hard can earn money to support the family."

After hearing what Wu Xiucai said, Mama Li shook her head and said, "Mr. Wu, don't worry. Although Le Niang is a widow, she has inherited the Cheng family's property, and the little money in her hand will never be used by Mr. Wu in three lifetimes." use up!"

Wu Xiucai breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Li's mother said.It's just that he thought about it, in this way, wouldn't he become a little boy who eats soft food?As the saying goes, there are no good things in people, and there is no red flower in a hundred days.If I don't earn a penny, Le Niang and Li's mother must feel disgusted with me after a long time, which is not beautiful.Thinking of this, Wu Xiucai turned to look at Bai Wei, and said hesitantly, "Mr. Bai, do you think this is all right?"

Bai Wei chuckled, and said: "Mr. Wu has to make up his own mind about lifelong affairs, and others can't make up his mind."

As soon as Bai Wei finished speaking, Mother Li slapped the table, her eyes widened, and she yelled at Bai Wei: "Nonsense! Mr. Wu has already made up his mind, why are you talking nonsense here?! What did Mr. Bai do last night?" In front of the old woman and Le Niang, she promised to be their big matchmaker. Why, within a day, you forgot the promise you made last night?!"

Hearing Mama Li's words, Bai Wei looked embarrassed, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times. Just as he was about to speak, Mama Li pinched her fingers and said, "The ninth day of this month is a good day! There are still three days to prepare, and we will prepare The happy day is set on the ninth day of the lunar new year!"

Wu Xiucai was taken aback, and just said "Mother Li", Li's mother stood up, grabbed Wu Xiucai's right sleeve with both hands, and dragged him out of the house, yelling, "Since the date is set, Okay, the old lady will take you to see Le Niang, if you tell Le Niang about this, she will pass out from joy?!
Wu Xiucai didn't expect Mama Li to be so impatient, and just about to say a few more words, she didn't expect Mama Li to be so strong that she dragged him to the door.Wu Xiucai had no choice but to follow Mama Li to the outside of the house, and turned to Bai Wei and said, "Mr. Bai, Mr. Wu comes whenever he goes, and there are some things we need to discuss!"
