Be a little landlord

Chapter 79

 Lin Lixuan's periodical business is in full swing, and now, he has a new plan, which is to open a storytelling shop in the county town.

Many illiterate people eagerly want to listen to the story, but they can't understand it. They are too old to learn to read, so they have to ask their parents to tell their grandmother to ask others to read it to them. One read, one listen, it is too painful Already...

"It would be great if someone specially read it to you..."

"Yeah, yeah, I don't even want to hear you read it, you tell it too badly, and it's a good story, but it's boring by you. "

"That's right, you're just making fun of this story, as if it was originally a cup of hot tea, but you were blowing it cold..."

"You guys...don't ask me to read it if you have the ability! Go and see!"

"If I could read and write, I would definitely not listen to you, your voice is really ugly, and the frogs in the field can sing better than you!"

In order to satisfy these people's wishes and please everyone's body and mind, Lin Lixuan will The idea of ​​storytelling building was put on the agenda.

"Brother Lin, your proposal is good... But, where is the library built?" Brother Yan supported the other party's idea.

Zhao Liniang also supports her son's idea. She has recently fallen in love with eating melon seeds, drinking tea and listening to stories. She raises chickens, ducks and vegetables on weekdays, and listens to boring gossip stories in her spare time. On the contrary, the desire to hold a grandson has faded away.

The more she listens to the story, the more fascinating she is. Compared with the people around her, she is more fortunate to have a son and a daughter-in-law who can tell her. Read it to yourself.



The daughter-in-law of a butcher who sells pork in the county city likes to grab her twelve-year-old son to read stories to her. Every time she reads it, it makes people laugh. The storyteller sitting in the lobby and telling stories to the people around him is really... great!

"Son, what exactly are we going to do?"

Lin Lixuan rubbed the center of his brows with his index finger, "I don't have a charter yet, so I need to find out the storyteller's site first, and I have to recruit a few people who can speak well to train. Outlining a plan in

his mind, Lin Lixuan started to act. First, he went to the county town to find a venue. After spending several days, he was not satisfied with several places he visited. Don't plan to find a place with inconvenient transportation. It's better to be not far from the wharf and port, and also close to the post station in the county to meet the needs of passengers and attract more passengers.

Lin Lixuan picked and picked, and finally chose an old teahouse. The original owner of this teahouse was an old man who was over half a century old. His business was slow, and he couldn't live in a deserted place. In addition, he was getting old, and the old man didn't want to run a teahouse anymore. , Hearing that Lin Lixuan was looking for a place, he took the initiative to find him and asked him if he would accept this dilapidated teahouse.

The location of the old man's teahouse meets Lin Lixuan's requirements, but the teahouse is precarious and looks about the same age as this bad old man. It's too dilapidated...

"Let's just be a little dilapidated... At worst, it will be overthrown and rebuilt..." After discussing with Brother Yan However, Lin Lixuan finally bought this dilapidated teahouse.

"Thank you very much, I have been with me in this teahouse for decades... If I am not old, I would not be willing to let go..."

"Don't worry, old man, you will come over for a drink and tea after a while..."

" I hope it gets better in your hands..."

This teahouse was very cheap and dilapidated. It was bought for less than one hundred and fifty taels of silver. The original old man really didn't want to do it anymore. He didn't want all the tables, chairs and benches in the dilapidated old teahouse and gave them to Lin Lixuan.

Lin Lixuan stood at the door of the teahouse that belonged to him. He touched the column with the old red paint peeled off. It was bumpy and hollow as if it had been drilled countless holes by insects

. , an indescribable dampness welled up my nose, and the old stairs creaked and shook slightly, obviously stepping on the wood, but it seemed like a boat floating in the water.

Although he was mentally prepared, but after a careful inspection, Lin Lixuan resigned to his fate and planned to find someone else to rebuild it. The teahouse was very old and couldn't last long.

After buying the teahouse, he tried his best to contact the artisans, and also found someone to practice his storytelling skills. The earth will be covered by the night sky.

The wind blowing from the village was quiet and gentle, as if a pair of gentle hands were caressing his face. Lin Lixuan hummed a little song to put aside all his troubles on the road. Mixed, his family's little donkey can't help but respond to his ditty in a babbling tone.

He could see his own yard from a distance, and before Lin Lixuan could smile, he saw an unexpected visitor.

With an old body, the silver hair on her head was golden yellow by the afterglow of the setting sun, and the crutch in her hand stood on the ground. When she saw Lin Lixuan, her serious and wrinkled face became more dignified.

Her voice had the unique hoarseness of an old man, although it was a little dull, she was still full of spirit: "Lin Xiucai, I have been waiting for you for a long time, but you are back..."

This sentence really seemed to be a reproach.

Lin Lixuan jumped out of the car, holding the rein with his right hand, and walked step by step in the shadow of the setting sun to the old woman standing hunched in front of him: "Mrs. Ji, what do you want to do when you come to our house?

" The Ji family has nothing to do with it..." Lin Lixuan stood still in front of Mrs. Ji, and after saying this, he ignored the old man in front of him, intending to bypass him and return home.

Seeing his movements, Mrs. Ji was so angry that she stomped on the ground three times with her crutches. She pointed at him with trembling fingers as old as old tree roots: "You...is this how you treat elders?"

"Elders who sell their grandchildren I don't have such an elder." Lin Lixuan used these words to pay tribute to Mrs. Ji. The old lady Ji in front of her is no longer as energetic as before, and she looks much older. It seems that she followed her precious Mrs. Ji Three lives are not good!

Although she was still pretending to be arrogant in front of her, Lin Lixuan had already seen from Old Madam Ji's eyes that the old woman had lost the aura she had when she came to his house to ask Brother Yu to show off her power.

I heard that Ji Laosan's family couldn't get along in the county and returned to Bixi Village. It's really funny. Not to mention the silver taels they got from themselves at the beginning, all the savings that Mrs. Ji kept privately when the family was divided It is also enough for them to spend several years in the county.

Unexpectedly, it was only a short time before they packed up their things and returned to Bixi Village in desperation, which was shorter than Lin Lixuan had expected.

"You don't want to bring up the past, I'll ask you, why don't you accept the articles about my family's selection?" Ji Laosan went to the county town, and no one there knew about these things. Now, he was so poor that he returned to Bixi Village, and the people around him didn't know what happened to their family.

Those two-child women who have a broken mouth like to talk about other people's affairs the most. Although Mrs. Ji is old, her ears are still smart. If others say her words openly and secretly, even if Mrs. Ji is cheeky Thick, she couldn't bear it.

"Who? Whose article?" Lin Lixuan frowned, confused by the lump of paste thrown by Mrs. Ji, who didn't know what she was talking about.

"My grandson, Ji Xuan, he is much more talented than you. If you can be admitted as a scholar, he can also be admitted as a scholar..." Mrs. Ji said sternly to her husband who was her other grandson.

Lin Lixuan folded his arms and looked coldly at Mrs. Ji showing off her power, and asked disdainfully, "Then, has your talented grandson passed the examination?"

"He will definitely pass the examination! Just wait and see!" Tai Shuo's saliva foamed all over the floor, and her voice became louder and louder, as if the louder her voice was, the more confident she became.

"Okay, I'll wait. Waiting for him to be admitted as a scholar in ten or eight years, your family will not have to pay taxes. This is a great thing... I hope you are in good health, old lady, and you can wait for that day."

"By the way, I'd like to advise you again... Mrs. Ji, since you have moved back to Bixi Village from the county town with Ji's family, I think you'd better let your precious grandson go down to farm obediently first, you Looking at the season before the season, now they are all good hands in the field, and life is much better than before."

"Work hard and live, don't think about other things..."

Just Ji Xuan's lazy appearance, I am afraid that even if you study for ten or eight years, you will not be able to pass the exam.

"You, you, you... You bastard speaks really badly. How did your mother teach you... Thanks to you, how did you become a scholar!"

"Of course my old woman will see that day, my grandson is much better than you, When he becomes an official, the old lady and I will be the grandma of the official. At that time, do you still dare to show off your prestige in front of me? I'm afraid you will kowtow to me humbly!"

"How dare you compare Ji Ya and Ji Qian's soft bones with my Xuan'er, Ji Ya and Ji Qian, how can they compare with a finger of my family's Xuan'er, but you want to compare him with them, they want to be in Digging in the ground, my grandson can't do that!!" Mrs. Ji said a lot of saliva, her breath was short of breath, and her chest heaved and fell.

The hand she pointed at Lin Lixuan was shaking all the time, and Lin Lixuan who was pointed at by her didn't want to get entangled with this old woman, "So, we can't plan food in the fields compared to your grandson, can you get out of the way? Don't block the door of my house, I'm going home, and the old lady should go home early for dinner."

Lin Lixuan led the already impatient donkey around Mrs. Ji and walked towards the gate of the courtyard. Brother Yan, Lin Lixuan gave the other party a look, signaling the other party to back off, and he will deal with it by himself.

Brother Yan just came out of the kitchen. He fried some peanuts and was waiting for Lin Lixuan to come back. He happily pushed open the wooden door and looked outside the courtyard door. The person he was thinking of didn't expect it, but he saw his grandmother who was always strict with him. He hadn't seen Mrs. Ji for a long time, and he had nothing to do with Ji's family. What is Mrs. Ji doing here?

Brother Yan's joyful mood was immediately splashed with ice water, he acted as if he didn't see Lin Lixuan's look, instead he walked out quickly,

"Grandma, what's the matter with you?"
