ninety thousand miles

Chapter 16 Good things come in pairs
Li Chuan hurriedly moved Pang San back, broke the lotus root clips and put them on the plate, and said, "Brother Pang, don't give up on yourself, brother Gong risked his life to save you, not for you Going to serve as a dish, now that brother Gong is going to Sishen Palace to seek Taoism, you can stay at my place to heal your wounds, if I, Li Chuan, have a mouthful of rice, brother Pang, you have a mouthful of rice."

After breaking off the lotus root clips, Li Chuan wiped his hands, picked up the plate, and walked to the front yard.

"Even if you really want to be steamed, wait for you to recover a bit and become a crab the size of a washbasin, the kind that can eat enough for two or three days," Li Chuan kicked the scorpion into the sun , Sit down, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm just joking, after a few days, I'll go buy some needlework and come back, and try to see if I can mend you."

The crab legs seemed to shrink a bit.

It should be very much looking forward to it.

Impatiens cockscomb and two cannas were planted in a corner of the yard, all of which were transplanted from the neighbors in the street, and they looked alive and full of vigor.

After a few days of free time, it will be more comfortable to get a grape shelf.

Summer is coming to autumn, and the weather is getting cooler day by day.

One day, Li Chuan returned home with a pair of pork chops. Just as he was about to open the door, he heard someone calling him, "Li Xiucai, you are back. I have been waiting for you for a long time. I have a big happy event to tell you." .”

Li Chuan took a closer look, and it turned out to be Po Liu.

Liu Po ​​lives on the street in front of her and sells some knick-knacks for needlework on weekdays.

She came to do this?What happy event?
Li Chuan was puzzled, but he still invited Po Liu in to add tea and water.

Liu Po ​​went into the house to look around, and found that the house was neatly arranged, but there were few pieces of furniture.As soon as her butt touched the chair, she said, "Xiucai, do you know the Pan family that sells butchers on the street?"

Of course I know, I just bought meat from Pan's stall.

He said, "I know, why, does his family need a town house?"

"No, no!" Granny Liu waved her hands again and again, "His wife invited me here, saying that his daughter seems to have something on her mind recently, depressed and thin, and asked several times, but couldn't find out. "

Butcher Pan's daughter?Pan Xiaohua?

Isn't she the one who was chopping meat and flying at the stall today?
Very energetic!

Seeing that Li Chuan didn't respond, Granny Liu continued on her own, "Madam entrusted me to test things out, so I used some fashionable tricks to talk to her, and as I talked, I finally got the word out. That day When she was at the market, she saw you, a scholar, saving people bravely, and she always remembered it in her heart, so she didn't think about eating and drinking and was depressed."

What?
heroic?

Throw a pig's foot?

Granny Liu glanced at Li Chuan's face, and continued to persuade: "Li Xiucai, although the Pan family is not a big family, they have a lot of money, and there is only such a daughter, who seems to have a good temperament, and her character is similar to that of our neighbors. I know, originally their family wanted to recruit a son-in-law."

"You are a scholar, so you definitely don't want to be a son-in-law, but to study and become an official, you must use money to manage everything."

"Now the Pan family is willing to marry their daughter to you, and is willing to pay for your education. Isn't this a great happy event?"

Li Chuan was very moved when he heard that.

Thinking of the pair of fleshy little hands on the butcher's stall, I became more and more moved.

"Thank you, Granny Liu. It's just..." Li Chuan's words changed, "An expert told Xiao Ke's fortune, saying that Xiao Ke should not get close to women for three years, otherwise there would be a catastrophe."

"What?" Granny Liu was shocked.

"That Taoist Wen made the calculation," Li Chuan pushed Wen Guying, and then said, "Girls' youth is precious, so I ask Mrs. Liu to think of a way to talk to Mrs. Pan so that she can persuade her." Advise Miss Pan."

Liu Po ​​was dubious.

At first she felt that Li Chuan was trying to shirk, but after he mentioned Mr. Wen, she hesitated. Li Chuan's reputation as a town house scholar is now known to everyone in Yunqiao Township. Everyone guessed it was because He has a pure mind and a pure yang body, so maybe he won't be able to break through in the past three years.

Three years, women's youth is precious, how many three years can there be?

Even if the Pan family is willing to wait, if Li Xiucai said that on purpose to avoid it, wouldn't that be a waste of Miss Pan's life?
This will not work.

At that time, she, the middleman, will also be blamed by the Pan family.

Li Chuan looked at Mrs. Liu's expression, then grabbed some copper coins from the house and gave her, "I'm going to buy my mother-in-law a drink with this money, and please talk to Pan's house carefully, so as not to hurt your peace."

"It's so embarrassing, how dare you ask for your money..." Granny Liu put the money in her sleeve while she refused, and then she stood up and said, "Then I will take the word over. Don't worry, I will think about it." Words will not allow the two families to feud."

"Please, please." Li Chuan kept sending her out of the gate, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

He was really moved.

But after all, his soul is a modern person, and he will get married within a few words, and he will be responsible for another person for the rest of his life. The pressure is too great.

However, the ancient times are different from the modern times. It is very troublesome to leave after getting married. For him, it may be a bad reputation, but for a woman, it may be time to throw herself into the river.

I have to change stalls to buy meat in the future.

Pan's meat stand is clean and fresh, and Pan Xiaohua is good-looking and quick, what a pity.

After going back to the house and sitting for a while, he sighed a bit, drank two sips of cold tea, and was about to go to the kitchen to cook, when Li Chuan suddenly heard some movement from the backyard.

He went out and saw a man, a woman, and a chicken standing in the yard.

The chicken is recognizable, Gong Er, the head of the chicken is held high, the coat is shiny, and the old wounds are obviously healed, and it is doing well.

The man also recognized him. Wen Guying, Daoist Wen who had just been arranged by him, hadn't seen him for several months, and the ruby ​​on the sword was still shining brightly.

I don't recognize that woman, she has a water-yellow linen skirt, a round face, round eyes, and a heroic look between her brows.

There are two swords on his back.

All the excitement has come together for a day.

Seeing Li Chuan, Daoist Wen took a few steps forward and explained, "Brother Li, it's been a long time. The three of us are dressed a bit eye-catchingly, so I asked Gong Er to take us here and wait."

Li Chuan said, "Okay, okay."

Then he looked at Gong Er and said, "Pan San is in the kitchen."

He was afraid that Gong Er would think he was going to cook crabs, so he explained: "For some reason, he likes my pot so much, he insists on getting into it, taking it out and crawling in again. I think he struggles to crawl around like this every day. When the pot is not in use, let it lie in it."

Gong Er was a little excited when he heard this, and asked, "Has the third brother woke up?"

Li Chuan said: "I can climb a few steps, but it seems that I can't change human form, and I can't speak."

"Third brother is alive, third brother is alive!" Gong Er chanted, spreading his wings and striding towards the kitchen.
