Chapter 40 The seventh quarter goes to the meeting alone

At noon the next day, Liu Xiu declined Zhu You's company and went to Li's residence alone.This trip was like entering a dragon pond or exploring a tiger's lair, Liu Xiu couldn't help feeling uncertain, and hid a dagger in his sleeve, although he knew it would be difficult to use, but in case he really did use it, it would be better than nothing.In order to prevent being recognized by the government on the way, Liu Xiu made another disguise, pretending to be a shabby and vulgar peddler. When Liu Xiu arrived at Li's mansion, the servants greeted him respectfully, took Liu Xiu into the gazebo to wait, and Gu Zi notified him to leave.

The gazebo is built by the lotus pond. It is midsummer, and the lotus flowers are in full bloom. Its fragrance is faint, and it flows with the wind. Sometimes it seems to avoid people, and sometimes it seems to attack people.Algae and midges are intertwined in the water, and a few golden carps are swimming back and forth, as if they know they will transform into dragons, but there is no need to rush to the sky at this moment.Liu Xiu leaned on the railing to watch, his heart drifted away, suddenly for a long time. Liu Xiu waited for a while, but the servant never returned, but a young woman passed by.Liu Xiu saw that she was a member of the Li family, and she should not look at injustice, so she lowered her eyes and avoided watching.When the woman saw Liu Xiu, she looked disdainful, hummed with her nostrils upturned, and then cursed: Shameless thing.

Liu Xiu was very surprised, and asked the woman, "Madam, are you talking to me?" Pfft, the woman spat on the ground and said, "Who are you? You eat, drink, and drink!" Liu Xiu frowned, he didn't mind scolding him, but how could such a beautiful lady spit everywhere?But the woman didn't care, just vomited in front of him, poof, another mouthful. Since ancient times, beauties, with their eyes, mouth, hands, feet, sitting, lying and walking, have long been praised by the sages of the past, so that future generations have nowhere to start, so they can only go sideways with their swords, boasting what others dare not praise, and what others never praise.Beauty spitting, ordinary people think it is indecent, but Li Bai wrote "The Concubine's Life" said: "Cough spit for nine days, and pearls and jade will be born with the wind." Spit." In short, every beauty is beautiful in everything, including spitting.Speaking of which, this woman was considered thin and pretty, but because of the snobbery and meanness between her brows, it made people even more disgusted. Coupled with such spitting, Liu Xiu was even more disgusted.

Liu Xiu had no intention of spitting back at the other party, through this boring exchange of bodily fluids to obtain physical and mental pleasure and pleasure.On the contrary, Liu Xiu was very considerate of the other party. The little lady is so angry, could it be that the sexual relationship is not harmonious recently?After thinking about it again, it suddenly dawned on her that this woman must have regarded him as a guest who came to join the Li family, that's why she scolded him.It's no wonder that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. His plain attire today is indeed easy to be underestimated.Liu Xiu then explained: "Madam misunderstood, I'm here..."

The woman interrupted Liu Xiu and said: "Hey, now you know how to be ashamed? Why don't you feel ashamed when you eat and drink? There are few rich and noble families like our Li family in Nanyang that can compare with you. You are also worthy to come here? Is this the place for low-class people like you to come?" After the woman finished scolding, she was still unsatisfied, bah, another mouthful of phlegm.Liu Xiu's heart felt like a knife was piercing her, she simply turned around, not knowing what to see. The woman is Li Yi's wife, she has always been aggressive, and recently she gave birth to a son for the Li family, she is proud of being favored and arrogant, and she is even more arrogant.Seeing that Liu Xiu didn't resist, the woman got even more excited. She opened her mouth to be a wealthy man, shut up her mouth to be a nobleman, and chattered endlessly in Liu Xiu's ear.

Liu Xiuduo has seen this kind of woman before, when she climbed into a slightly older family, she thought that the sparrow had become a phoenix, and she always regarded herself as a rich and noble family.Their standard of judging people is whether the other person is useful to her and can help her.If you are useless to them, they will taunt you to your face or behind your back.Once you are far superior to them, they will curse you while clinging to you without shame.Generally speaking, they are always high-spirited in front of people, thinking that they are doing well and are pretty, but they are always unwilling to be satisfied, thinking that they deserve the best in the world, and everyone owes her.Regardless of the pros and cons of such people, and they can often live their lives smoothly, but every time Liu Xiu meets them, she always feels cold-hearted.

The woman jumped up and down, wanting to slap Liu Xiu a few times in order to show her aristocratic temperament and aristocratic cultivation, but she didn't dare to see Liu Xiu's unpredictable and profound appearance.At this moment, Li Yi finally appeared, grabbed the woman, slapped her hard, and said angrily: "Bitch, do you know who this person is? This is Uncle Liu Wen, who was born in the Liu family of Chongling After Gaozu, he is the real wealthy family, he is the real nobleman, a savage with blind eyes, the so-called rich and noble family, how can you say it yourself with a cheap mouth?"

The woman was beaten to tears, ashamed and annoyed, she dared not refute.Li Yi shouted again: "Aren't you apologizing?" The woman covered her face and apologized to Liu Xiu reluctantly.Liu Xiu laughed loudly, stretched out her hand and said, "Don't, please don't, Mrs. Sister-in-law is not wrong. Your family is rich and noble, and we dare not compare. Your blood is noble, and our blood is low, so we can't compare. " The woman was so ashamed of being ridiculed by Liu Xiu, she looked at Liu Xiu with contempt at first, but now it is full of resentment, her world view is: she is only allowed to insult others, but not allowed to insult her, even if it is only a few words. .

Even though Liu Xiu was pushing against a couple of women, Li Yi's face was lost when he heard it.As for wealthy families, to put it bluntly, their Li family is a bit stronger than Liu's family now, but when it comes to nobles, it is not a heavyweight.Although their Li family was not an upstart, they could only go back five generations. There was neither Sangong nor Jiuqing in the family, so naturally they couldn't compare with the Liu family, which was the clan of the previous dynasty. Li Yi was annoyed in his heart, and wanted to sneer back and protect his wife, but after all, the business was important, so he suppressed his anger and smiled apologetically: "You are ignorant and rude, and I hope Uncle Wen Haihan. My brothers have been waiting for you for a long time. , please follow me."

Liu Xiu secretly felt ashamed, and it would hurt her reputation to compete with such a poor woman, so she left the woman and went with Li Yi.And for the appearance of this woman, apart from being insulted, Liu Xiu also gained other benefits.The first thing is to feel at ease, Li Yi scolded and beat his wife because of him, it seems that he didn't intend to avenge Shen Tuchen, but really had a big discussion.Secondly, the original good impression of Li Yi has been greatly reduced so far.Confucius said: "I don't know how a man regards a friend." Liu Xiu didn't know how a man regarded his wife. Since Li Yi's wife is so virtuous, Li Yi's conduct must not be much better, and she should be more vigilant in the future.

Liu Xiu followed behind Li Yi, caressing the saber in her sleeve intentionally or unintentionally.The closer he got to the destination, the more violent his heartbeat became.What he dealt with just now was just a simple woman, but what he has to deal with now is a group of complicated men.
