Chapter 20 Does He Have Money?
"Meng Juzi is an orphan," King Jin'an explained to Cao's comforter, "now he is adopted by a doctor. Fortunately, he is knowledgeable and unique in reading..."

Only then did Cao Anshi's anger subside slowly, he thought that Meng Shiyu did this deliberately to prevaricate Cao Xiu and the others.

To him that would not be prevarication, but humiliation.

Meng Shiyu's performance made the scene awkward for a while, but fortunately it was just a performance.

"Not going down yet!" The comforter Cao glared at Cao Xiu, and said in a low voice.

Cao Xiu stomped her feet and left the hall. She always felt that she was played by Meng Shiyu, but she couldn't catch the other party's fault.

Many students secretly rejoiced that Meng Shiyu offended Miss Cao and displeased Mrs. Cao, whether their chance had come, so although Cao Xiu left, the performance continued, and many students volunteered to play the piano and flute , almost transforming a banquet into a concert of a lifetime.

"Miss, don't be angry," Zizhu reassured Cao Xiu when she saw that she was angry, "Mr. Meng is just a good-looking man, he has no interest. Miss doesn't deserve to be angry with such a person."

Cao Xiu stomped her feet and lost her temper. She is a young lady, so how can she calm down so easily.

The banquet continued here, and Li Yulou's carriage also arrived at the door of Li's house.

"Sister, are you back?" Li Yukun ran out excitedly, looking at Li Yulou expectantly.

Li Yulou squinted at his younger brother, and handed the gift he bought into his hand.

"How old is my sister's gift!" Zhang Xiulan tapped her son's forehead.

"She is also my older sister..." Li Yukun opened the gift box with a playful smile, and the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and turned into a frown, "Why is it an inkstone?"

"You should also study hard, you will have to give birth to a child this year anyway." Li Yulou said with a straight face.

"Bai made me come out to pick you up so excitedly, hum..." Li Yukun walked in with heavy steps, drooping his head.

Zhang Xiulan knocked on her son's head, and then she turned to look at Li Yulou with a smile on her face, "How's it going, didn't you encounter anything?"

"No, mother, it's going very well, the business is going well, and all the materials you sent me in the end are out..." Li Yulou walked into the yard while talking.

Zhang Xiulan is open-eyed when she sees money, knowing that it is easy to talk about making money, she doesn't ask about the details of her residence in Hangzhou, and asks Li Yulou to go back to her room to rest.

As soon as Li Yulou entered the yard, he saw his father standing at the door of the study, looking at him eagerly.

Many of the students who went this time were his students, and he was very concerned about whether they could achieve results.

If there is a great student, his teacher will also have a bright face.

But as the head of the family, he naturally couldn't go to the door to greet his daughter who came back from earning money in person, otherwise the price would drop too much, so he hesitated and hoped to see through.

Seeing her father's thoughts, Li Yulou naturally walked quickly to the study. She also wanted to share with her father the happy event of getting to know Yuan in Meng Shiyu.

"Daddy, Shi Yuzhong understands Yuan..." Li Yulou shouted happily without concealing his inner joy.

"Yeah..." The old father, who had been studying all his life, made a powerful gesture of clenching his fists.

Li Yulou giggled.

"It's just a Jieyuan, not the number one. Your father was also a Jieyuan back then. If it weren't for this Jieyuan..."

Before Zhang Xiulan finished speaking, Li Xu dragged Li Yulou into the study, "Tell me the details..."

Where did Li Yulou know the details, he only said which students from Chunhui College were selected.

She only remembered the rankings of Meng Shiyu and Zhou Hong, and she naturally didn't remember the others.

Li Xu was very excited, as if he was happier than he was in Juren, pacing back and forth on the ground, his eyebrows and eyes were flying, and his cheeks were flushed.

"Okay, Yulou, you've worked hard, go and rest." Li Xu wants to enjoy his joy alone in the study, only Yulou in this family can understand his joy, but it's a girl.

If Yulou were a man, he would definitely be able to surpass him with this intelligence and heart.

While enjoying the joy, there is a bit of melancholy about the impermanence of the world.

"Father, there is actually another incident that happened in Hangzhou Mansion." Li Yulou hesitated for a while, but still felt that it would be better to tell her father about this matter first.

Now that Zhou Hongzhong has made the decision, Li Xu may be very satisfied with Zhou Hong, after all, he is the child who grew up watching him.

"What's the matter?" Li Xu pulled back his thoughts and asked.

"Zhou Hong had a little gossip with the Anping County Lord in Hangzhou Mansion..." So Li Yulou roughly told Li Xu what happened between Zhou Hong and the Anping County Lord at the inn.

Li Xu was so shocked that he didn't know what to say for a moment. After a while, he came back to his senses and said angrily, "It's just absurd. I thought he was a good person, he could keep himself clean, but he made a mistake by drinking..."

Li Xu's reaction was within Li Yulou's expectations, his father was the most polite and well-behaved student in half his life.

"Daddy, is Shi Yu much better?" Li Yulou took the opportunity to ask.

"Yes, yes...Meng Shiyu is still much better, much better..." It seemed that Li Xu's disappointment with Zhou Hong found some comfort in Meng Shiyu.

Li Yulou knew that his father had received too much information today and needed to digest it all day in the study, so he also said goodbye, turned around, left the study and returned to his room.

Lying on the bed, she was also a little restless. It was so stressful to have a sweetheart who was too good-looking.

The banquet lasted from noon to evening. Meng Shiyu saw so many people that he couldn't wake up alone, so he pretended to be very drunk and left the comforter's house.

"Master, are you alright?" On the carriage, Xiao Qi lowered her voice and asked, "Do you want to buy you a bowl of hangover soup?"

"No need..." Meng Shiyu rubbed the center of his brows, and half-lyed in the carriage with his eyes closed.

"Miss Yulou left?" Meng Shiyu suddenly thought of Li Yulou and asked.

"Let's go, I left early this morning, and I'll be back to Xiuzhou at noon." Xiao Qi replied.

He secretly rejoiced that he was smart and had inquired about Li Yulou's news clearly in advance.

He will pay more attention to Miss Yulou's affairs in the future, because his young master is concerned.

Two days later, Li Yulou was drying fabrics on poles.

The pole is very high, several feet higher than the roof.

The workers below were all busy with their own tasks, and they didn't care about Li Yulou's high position, as if this was already commonplace.

Li Yulou had been standing on it for a long time, and Meng Shiyu could be seen from here.

She saw Meng Shiyu go out in the morning, and she hasn't come back until now. Could it be that she went to the library to buy books.

Does he have money to buy books?

Although she gave him some money in Hangzhou Mansion, I don't know if he still has it on hand, I should have given him some money just now.

The business of Dr. Song's medical clinic is also good, but he has two daughters, and it is said that he often subsidizes them.

Shi Yu has a thin skin, so he must be ashamed to ask old man Song for money all the time.
