Coming out of the study, Li Kui hid outside the door and breathed a long sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Zhou Yuan would glare at him and ask him to go back, which would be terrible.

It must be said that before he became a disciple, he was probably a bit opportunistic, but now, even if he has lost Zhou Yuan's path, he still has another path, a relative, or even the eunuch path. Of course, he cannot enter the palace by himself.

As a father-in-law, he established relationships with the palace through the Liu family.

This is why Li Kui was willing to risk being disliked by Zhou Yuan to help Liu Baosheng attack Niubei Mountain. Asking for money is just an excuse. Can he get back what he put into the bandit's pocket? It can only be a real sword.

A real gunshot kill is either life or death.

There are so many ways to go, but he has to choose the most difficult road of the imperial examination. For Li Kui, it is more about changing his class or identity.

But challenge yourself.

He wanted to try to see if he could achieve something in the imperial examination if he relied on his own efforts.

Fortunately, Zhou Yuan didn't say anything, which made him very happy.

Otherwise, Liu Baosheng would have a dog-headed military advisor beside him.

In fact, there was only one reason why Zhou Yuan did not lose his temper. Li Kui told him the truth. Judging from the contents of the official document, Li Kui did not lie to him. Honesty may not be important to a scholar. In the officialdom for more than ten years,

Zhou Yuan knows very well that if a scholar becomes bad, no one in the world can compare to him. But everyone needs to have a bottom line, especially a scholar. If Li Kui kept telling lies in front of his teacher, Zhou Yuan probably wouldn't be angry. At least not in the future.

Li Kui was extremely angry in front of him, but he still had some self-restraint. But I'm afraid there is only one outcome, let Li Kui go back, and there is no need to come again.

Gululu, Li Kui rubbed his hungry belly and headed towards the kitchen with his feet as if he knew the way. There are two kitchens in the county government office, one is for the custodian clerk and the kitchen for preparing lunch for the third class of government officials. There are two kinds of kitchens.

Food, food for officials, or food for servants, the former will be much better, at least there will be vegetables. The other is the kitchen of the houya, a place specially designed for the master to cook.

Push open the kitchen door.

Hey, Fat Chun, who never leaves the kitchen, is not here?

Li Kui was stunned when he saw the large pot of millet rice and pickled vegetables placed on the desk. Is the teacher so poor that he can't even eat the vegetables, radishes and cabbage that he prepares every day in winter?

But what is that smell of meat filling the air?

After taking a sip of saliva, the image of braised pork appeared in my mind. Yes, the aroma of braised pork filled the air.

Li Kui went straight to the steamer. At this time, a person appeared at the door, blocking the light from the door. After entering, the room became much darker. Li Kui looked back, but the smile froze on his face. He saw Xu Chunli holding a rolling pin with an expression on her face.

He was as gloomy as iron, holding a door with one hand, and after holding it together with both hands, he blocked the door with his back. This situation could easily make him think wrong.

What are you going to do!

I'm still a kid!

This idea suddenly popped into Li Kui's mind, and he felt an inexplicable sense of shame.

"Fat Spring!"

Li Kui, who was surprised, opened his mouth and said, "Pang Chun" is what many servants in the yamen call Xu Chunli behind their backs. They dare not say anything to her face. Even the county magistrate, the secretary's office, and the petty officials in the yamen

Whenever he sees Xu Chunli, he will shout with a smile: "Miss Xu!"

Although judging from this person's personality, there are no traces of what a girl should be like.

Fat spring! Xu Chunli raised her eyebrows, and the anger in her heart became more intense. She said in her heart: Hei charcoal head, with an honest face... Ah, bah, how can Li Kui look like an honest face? This guy just dresses casually and looks poor.

That’s it. Of course, poverty is not a disease, it is a long-lasting and stable living condition. The place where a person is poor most easily is the canteen.

Some people eat like thunder.

There are also people who eat like they are singing.

Some people even eat like a flood that is out of control.

…

If a poor person doesn't even think about grabbing food, then he is not only poor, but also sick.

Of course, Li Kui is the first one to live a long-lasting and stable life. At the same time, he also flatters himself that this is frugality. As for the noise of eating, there is nothing he can do about it. Who makes him a martial arts practitioner? A weak scholar can only eat a bowl of rice.

He can be full, but what about him? He can eat one pot of rice, and he can barely eat three to five bowls of food. As far as his appetite is concerned, a family in the Song Dynasty always waits for others, and he eats this way

, it is appropriate to go bankrupt in one year. What's more, he has a clan brother Li Quan who is more capable than him.

Although Xu Chunli is a woman, she has the heart of a man. She waved the rolling pin in her hand, as if to drive away the annoying flies in front of her, and said impatiently: "Forget it, fat spring is fat spring, anyway, what's going on behind your back?"

It’s not like I don’t know about the Mi Tai people. Just say it, I won’t lose a piece of flesh anyway.”

"Sister Chunli, I didn't bury you." Li Kui immediately stated his position, as firm as a flagpole.

Xu Chunli sneered: "I don't know whether you arranged it, and I don't want to know. I just want to ask you, my sister was not kind to you in the past, right? But why do you want to harm me like this?"

Harm you?

Li Kui looked confused. When had he ever harmed anyone? Besides, he and Fat Chun rarely met each other on weekdays. There was no injustice in the past and no hatred in the recent days. Why would he harm someone?

Li Kui, who felt that he had been wronged, cried out: "Sister, you are wronged!"

"Are you wronged? Think about it carefully, is it true? I don't understand. Not only do you have no meat today, but from now on you will only have millet rice and pickled vegetables to eat, whether you like it or not." Xu Chunli threatened, that was all she could do.

At this level of competition, she knew that she was no match for Li Kui. However, in order to express the seriousness of the problem, she added: "My master asked you to live and eat for free. I didn't expect that you can do it better than a pig."

Eat, I made my master poor for no reason. Believe it or not, I will drug you in your food from now on!"

Why.

Li Kui felt very wronged. He had memorized books all morning and his brain was almost numb. Where could he find his usual spirituality? Seeing Fat Chun's unforgivable anger, he also felt that Fat Chun's generous character would not be without reason.

He couldn't get along with him. Suddenly he thought of Uncle Xu, it couldn't be... Li Kui stared at Fat Chun for a while, and then burst into laughter, saying to himself: "You have this day too!"

"What are you laughing at?" Xu Chunli looked embarrassed when Li Kui saw through her. She couldn't hide or hide. She fell into a strange kind of embarrassment. It was very inconsistent with her past demeanor.

Li Kui smiled like a fox, with a cunning look in his eyes: "Sister, were you forced into marriage by Uncle Xu?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Xu Chunli stopped her hastily. Finally, she raised her head and looked at the beams, sighing secretly: "I'm having a bad time, and I meet an unreliable father. What can I do?" Then she stared at Li Kui fiercely.

Question: "Are you fanning the flames behind his back? Otherwise, why would he say all the good things about your eldest brother?"

"Isn't my eldest brother bad?" Although Li Kui looked down upon his brother in every possible way, if outsiders said it, it would always make him unhappy.

Xu Chunli's momentum weakened, and she said sadly: "I am a decent person, but I am too cowardly. I can hit three with one hand. Anyway, I tell you to give up on this. I will never treat you as your sister-in-law."

"

Li Kui's curiosity got the better of him. He had no entertainment activities all day long and was quite bored. He stretched his neck and said curiously: "Sister, just tell me if you don't like it! Will it be over if I let my brother give up? But my brother really wants to know, what happened to my sister?"

What kind of person do you want to be before you marry?"

"You kid, you look so naive and full of bad thoughts." Xu Chunli is already in her early twenties, so naturally she has a lot of admiration. She said with dreamy eyes: "My lover is a great hero. One day he will step on the seven-color clouds."

Come and marry me..."

Li Kui was stunned. This line was so familiar. Wasn't it the same line that Fairy Zixia said?

It turned out that I wanted to be a fairy.

Fat Chun, please wake up. You have the body of a Sha Monk. Although the lines on your face are soft, and if you look closely, you are a bit pretty, but you are not the kind of vixen or rabbit that charms all living beings. It is even more terrible.
