Their family lived in the most shabby house among the servants' quarters, ate the worst food, and were always looked down upon.
But only Uncle Chen and Li Xu got along well, and the two families had frequent interactions.
When adults are on good terms, children will naturally be influenced by them.
The Chen family also has a son and a daughter. Their daughters Chen Taohong and Li Yingying have been playmates since childhood, and their son Chen Wei and his brother are close friends.
When Li Yingying died, the Chen family's two children were not in the Li residence.
Chen Taohong went to visit her grandmother in the countryside two days ago.
Chen Wei was clever and skilled in martial arts. He usually followed the county magistrate at his residence, so he followed the county magistrate to the countryside.
If they were here, it would be useless.
Early in the morning, Uncle Chen heard that everyone had arrived, so he brought four eggs cooked by Aunt Chen and went to visit the Li family's children.
Seeing Li Xu's haggard look, I pulled him aside to chat about the present in the morning.
"Yingying, you're awake. Uncle Chen brought four eggs this morning. I warmed them in the pot. You can eat two, and the other two are for your brother."
Li Yingying looked at the middle-aged man who looked older than her father and asked:
"Uncle Chen, thank you. Taohong hasn't come yet?"
Uncle Chen smiled, his face wrinkled. "It's about time for them to come. It's around afternoon."
"Well, I still have a lot to say to her."
After saying that, Li Yingying went to the kitchen on the left and lifted the lid of the pot. There was a little warm water at the bottom of an iron pot with a gap, and four white eggs were placed in it.
Li Yingying took out two, broke one and was eating it when she saw that the big earthenware bowl next to it was covered.
The food she ate was a bit dry, so she thought it was porridge. When she took off the lid of the bowl, she saw that it was corn porridge and two black sorghum steamed buns.
Li Yingying looked at the egg in her hand again and silently put another egg in the pot.
I thought to myself that I should improve Ji's food and accommodation problems first.
Bang~bang~bang~
There was a knock on the door, and Li Yu got up to open it.
Standing outside the door was the person he couldn't imagine meeting, Li Zhengwei.
Li Xu and Uncle Chen bowed hurriedly to greet them. Li Zhengwei did not even look at them and walked into the yard, followed by five or six servants holding various silks and jewelry in their hands.
As soon as he entered the yard, Li Zhengwei shouted, "Li Yingying, I'm here, come out."
Seeing this, Mother Li's face turned pale. She thought that the young master had given up on Yingying, but it seemed that he still hadn't given up. Was he going to kill her?
Li Yingying came out of the kitchen upon hearing the noise, with half an egg in her mouth.
She knew that Li Zhengwei would definitely come over. The strategies she gave were the essence of summaries from past dynasties. It was impossible for anyone in this small town to come up with a better strategy than this.
As soon as Li Zhengwei saw Li Yingying, he came forward and said, "Li Yingying, my father came over. I told him what you said. He praised her highly and asked me to think about the next step."
Li Yingying glanced at everyone. Since this was the young master's first time coming to the servants' quarters, many people gathered at the door to watch the fun.
This is not the place to talk. Li Yingying looked at the things he brought with shining eyes. It seemed that he had made a lot of money, and she was going to buy a lot of things.
"Master, please wait for me in the study. I'll be right there."
"good."
Li Zhengwei looked at the narrow courtyard, which was already packed with them. "Put your things in."
The servants filed in, put down their things, and hurried to find their master.
Everyone thought that Li Liu's daughter must have married a rich man, so the young master openly came to the servant's room with gifts.
As soon as Li Zhengwei left, the crowd started talking.
"Look, the young master is completely obsessed with him and has been given so many good things. Li Liuming is really lucky."
"Aunt Wang, please don't say anything nonsense. If Li Liu's daughter says anything in front of the young master, you will never see the sun again."
Those who used to think that Li Liu was easy to bully and wanted to tell a few jokes about him, all shut up after hearing what Zhao Gang's mother said, that the master could not talk about him casually.
Mother Li closed the door, shutting out all the noise.
No matter how soft-hearted she was, she didn't like them talking about her daughter's reputation.
Li Yingying entered the main room and looked at her own broken table, which was piled with layer upon layer of things.
She picked up the gifts one by one and placed them in front of her.
[Beep! A Song Dynasty gilded jewelry box, valued at 160 taels]
[Beep! A Song Dynasty double-headed gold-plated hairpin, valued at nine hundred and seventy taels.]
[Beep! A Song Dynasty gold-engraved silver comb, valued at eight hundred and thirty taels.]
[Beep! Song Dynasty thin double-victory earrings, valued at four hundred and ten taels]
Li Yingying listened to the beeping sound, her eyes filled with surprise.
This is much more valuable than what you can buy in this era.
Li Yingying only sold one earring, and she was afraid that if a lot of things were missing at once, Li Xiao's mother would become suspicious.
Looking at the remaining balance of 410 taels in the mall, I was thinking about what to buy.
Li Yingying tried to search for guns, but it seemed that she underestimated the system as there were 908 items.
She made a face-palming expression.
I swiped around and found that in addition to toy guns, there were real guns, but the icons were gray.
She clicked, and a line of text appeared on the interface: You are only level one now, your cold weapons have not been developed yet, and you need to spend 23256 taels to upgrade to the next level.
Li Yingying bought three anti-wolf flashlights and sold them for a few ounces.
She went to check again and found that Chen Dawei's fever had subsided and he had taken anti-inflammatory medicine in the morning, so he shouldn't be a big problem.
After the examination, Li Yingying went out to find Li Zhengwei.
"Mom, the things are all on the table, please put them away. You can use the fabric to make clothes. I don't care.
Here's something for you. Press this. If someone bullies you in the future, just press this bump and they'll faint."
Mother Li nodded, not quite understanding.
Li Xu went to work. He was cleaning horse manure in the stable. The work was dirty and the pay was low. People took advantage of him because he was an honest man and assigned him the most difficult work.
