Chapter 58 The Great Change of Attitude

Li Yulou's face was filled with unconcealable joy, "That, that..."

"I'm leaving first, and my teacher doesn't agree. I'll let the elders think about it first, and come back tomorrow." Meng Shiyu didn't wait for Li Yulou to finish, interrupted her, and walked out straight away.

"I still don't agree..." Li Yulou couldn't believe Meng Shiyu's words.

She opened the door and entered the main house.

"I just said that he is poor, what can a begging do with such an invisible stone, it is too insincere." Zhang Xiulan glanced at the beads in the wooden box and said.

"I think this box is unusual, it's a bit old." Li Xu looked at the full and round box and said.

"It's not a bit old, a broken wooden box will have to be used for decades, hundreds of years, and it has to be passed down from generation to generation..." Zhang Xiulan's tone was full of sarcasm.

It's not that Zhang Xiulan looks down on scholars, it's just that there is a useless scholar around her who can't do anything except study.

But to be an official needs too many things besides being able to read, her husband is not good, and Meng Shiyu is also a lump of wood. His future official career will not go well, and he has no money. What else can her daughter eat with him besides suffering.

"That's not what I mean, I mean this wood doesn't seem to be ordinary wood, it looks like agarwood." Li Xu said.

"What agarwood, rosewood, it's just a wooden box anyway." Zhang Xiulan said indifferently.

She felt dissatisfied with Meng Shiyu.

"Mother, I want to marry Shi Yu..." Li Yulou came in and said.

The other three people in the family looked at Li Yulou.

"You are a girl, why are you not reserved at all..." Zhang Xiulan said angrily.

"You never taught me how to be reserved!" Li Yulou said.

"He can't..." Zhang Xiulan said decisively.

"Why not," Li Yulou said, "Someone dares to marry me in my current situation, why don't you hurry up and send me out with drums and gongs, what else are you thinking, do you want me to stay at home?"

Li Yulou's words instantly plunged the room into a silence that could be heard dropping needles.

"Sister is right." Li Yukun said suddenly.

"I also think what Yulou said is right," Li Xu continued, "Unless she is really a concubine for the Third Prince, but my Li Xu's daughter will never be someone else's concubine."

Zhang Xiulan frowned, as if she really had no other choice, then she looked at Li Yulou and said, "You can't go to him, wait until that kid comes tomorrow."

Li Yulou smiled and nodded in agreement.

Zhang Xiulan's eyes turned red when she saw Li Yulou running away, "I'm not worried about her future...Look at her, she has no conscience."

"Okay, things are already like this, let's think in a better direction." Li Xu said, "It's just that Qiu Wei is coming, and I'm going to go out in the next few days. I guess I'll have to wait until after Qiu Wei to get married."

"Nonsense, we have to wait for Qiu Wei to talk about it. You have to be a Jinshi anyway. You can't just have one end and one end..." Zhang Xiulan snorted and continued to sort out the accounts.

After the lights were turned off, the small courtyard of Li's family did not dim, and it was even brighter than before the lights were turned off.

Especially the main house of Li Xu and Zhang Xiulalan was as bright as day.

"Why is the moon so bright tonight?" Zhang Xiulan turned over and complained. She was already irritable, but now she was even more irritable.

"Today is the fifth day of the lunar new year, where does the moon come from?" Li Xu replied casually.

"Why is it so bright, what is it, go down and have a look..." Zhang Xiulan raised her foot and kicked Li Xu's ass as she spoke.

Li Xu hummed and got up from the bed and went outside to find the source of the light.

When he saw the dazzling light of the stone on the round table, he was surprised and speechless for a moment.

Li Xu was sure that this was not an ordinary thing, so he hurriedly carried it into the back room.

Zhang Xiulan was even more agitated by the shaking. She sat up and was about to curse, but she couldn't open her eyes because of the bright light.

"This is..." Zhang Xiulan's shocked eyes widened.

"Ye Mingzhu..." Li Xu said hesitantly.

"Ye Mingzhu... How could there be such a thing? Isn't that something only for the emperor?" Zhang Xiulan stuttered a little.

"The bead that glows by itself can be anything other than the Ye Mingzhu...Come on, let's hide under the quilt." Li Xu suggested.

Zhang Xiulan nodded like pounding garlic.

Zhang Xiulan and Zhuzi are in the quilt, Li Xu is outside the quilt, it is really bright.

Li Xu lowered the box and closed it.In an instant, the surroundings were plunged into darkness.

Li Xu could barely see Zhang Xiulan's face, but when the box was opened, it was instantly bright, and the surrounding area was as bright as day.

Zhang Xiulan and Li Xu covered the box with both hands, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

"Ye Mingzhu, why does that kid have Ye Mingzhu?" Zhang Xiulan asked.

"Maybe stealing..." Li Xu said.

"Do you know where to steal it?" Zhang Xiulan felt unsafe, so she put the quilt on the heads of the two.

Li Xu and Zhang Xiulan were sweating profusely under the quilt.

"I don't know..." Li Xu shook his head.

"This kid should be a descendant of the prince's family. It's inherited from the ancestors. He is very good at reading. Obviously, he is a boy. He must have suffered a disaster in his family. Both his parents died. He also fell here. Maybe he is a prince. .” Zhang Xiulan’s mind was wide open.

"Sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Li Xu comforted his cranky wife.

Zhang Xiulan hummed.But the two couldn't sleep at all, and they tossed and turned all night.

"Go, call that kid here." Zhang Xiulan asked Li Yukun to call Meng Shiyu after breakfast.

Zhang Xiulan and Li Xu discussed all night, and decided to agree to the marriage for the sake of Ye Mingzhu, and Li Yulou will not know about Ye Mingzhu for the time being.

Li Yulou looked at Zhang Xiulan in surprise, "Mother, you figured it out..."

"After thinking about it all night, the circles under my eyes are getting dark, don't you see?" Zhang Xiulan said to Li Yulou angrily.

Li Yulou smiled awkwardly, "Thank you for your hard work, Shi Yu is fine, he is already brave enough to marry me."

"I see, you don't need to tell me how good he is." Zhang Xiulan snorted.

Meng Shiyu came, and Li Yulou was wearing a light blue dress, and his hair was simply tied up in a bun, making his fair and bright face even more delicate.

"Shiyu..." Li Yulou's face showed a pale pink embarrassment, like the memorable color left after the morning glow faded.

Meng Shiyu smiled lightly, and changed into a robe, but it was still half-worn, but the young man was tall and straight, with a beautiful complexion, long eyelashes, and clasped his hands in front of him, looking humble and polite.

"Shiyu is here, come here, sit down, my teacher made you several snacks last night, you have a taste, have you had breakfast?" Zhang Xiulan came out with a smile on her face, wishing to squeeze her eyes, nose and mouth together .
