Chapter 229 Hope and Despair
"Thank you, Wulang...!" Xue Rengui looked at Li You and smiled slightly, and then sat back.
At this time, Li You asked, "What the hell is it?"
"Borrow money...!"
"Borrow money..." Li You was stunned at first, then laughed: "What's the matter? If your brother-in-law wants money, just go find your sister to pay it. Anything is OK..."
"It's not that I borrowed money, I borrowed money for Zhou Likai."
"Ah... Is the Fourth Brother short of money?" Li You looked at Xue Rengui and asked.
"Hey...!" Xue Rengui here looked at Li You with some difficulty saying: "It was not lacking before, but now it is lacking. Since he went to Pingkangfang with you, who knew that this guy fell in love with a girl named Xiao Lian in Nanqu inside, and said that he looked very similar to his childhood sweetheart girl.
He wants to marry her and be kind to her for the rest of his life.
But the ransom was too high. The madam said that Xiao Lian was her daughter and said that she had three thousand guan. After all, we tried to persuade her to suppress two thousand guan. However, the madam said that he would see the money within three days.
Otherwise, she would sell Xiao Lian to a Hu merchant...!
After we came back, we gathered together and collected a thousand guan. Even Yan San’s money was taken out. There was no way, so I could only speak to you...!"
"Ah... the fourth brother married a woman from Yiqu. If I say this..." Li You was slightly worried. After all, although Pingkangfang is from Nanqu, those women really have a bad reputation. What I paid the most attention in ancient times was reputation. Zhou Likai wanted to marry a woman from Nanqu, which would have more or less impact on the future.
"Goro...I told him that too, but this guy is just a love species and it doesn't make sense. This is his own choice of path, so we can only let him...!"
"Okay... I'll pay the remaining money... Tell my fourth brother that when he gets married, I'll go over to congratulate him in person..."
"This is not very good..." Xue Rengui said slightly: "After all, he married a woman from Nanqu. If you go, it will defile your identity."
"Brother-in-law...it's okay. After all, it's the fourth brother who got married. No matter what, Li You still has to support him. And what is my identity? I'm the common person. Okay, that's it...!" Li You smiled slightly.
Xue Rengui nodded again and said thankfully: "Okay...!"
This time, Xue Rengui left with a smile. He wanted to tell his fourth brother the good news... But Xue Rengui did not expect that this matter was not as smooth as he saw now. There were waves in it. Behind this waves, there were a pair of big hands silently controlling them.

"This is bringing our army...!"
In the lavender farm, Liu Dageng sighed slightly, and next to Liu Dageng were the second son Cheng Kui and third son Zhao Hei, the military advisor Xu Damao and his daughter Liu Yuning.
"What happened to my brother?" Zhao Hei looked at Liu Dageng with some concern and asked.
At this time, Xu Damao replied: "That's right. Just now, news came from Dunhuafang, saying that the boss would go to Dunhuafang and discuss anything.
I feel a little weird inside. Could it be that the other party already knows our identity, so if you want to capture a thief, you will first capture the king...!"
"It's possible...!" The second son Cheng Kui said slowly: "It's obvious that there was no such contact before, but suddenly this news is brought, and it's very likely that there are some ulterior motives in it."
"What should we do now...are we going..." Zhao Hei said with some confusion: "Last night, my nephew told me that he would write my elder brother's name...and he also brought his milk back for his mother to drink.
Brother... It would be a pity if we left such a good place."
"Then you are ready to wash your neck and be slaughtered..." Cheng Kui said angrily: "Let's go... we must go. If we don't go, as long as we go to Dunhuafang, it will be a lot of danger."
"Dad..." Liu Yuning looked at Liu Dageng who was silent.
The big bald man heard his daughter's cry and raised his bald man and smiled: "Do you know... I like this very much. I had no choice but to become a bandit, but I actually regret it.
When Yuning was born, it was because we were bandits and could not hire a wife, so Yuning's mother died of dying. After Yuning was born, she suffered a lot with me.
So I know that bandits cannot be a lifelong life, so I just wanted to take everyone to farm in Jiangnan and be a farmer, but the future of farmers is not so beautiful. Now here is a chance.
His Highness Qi’s grace is very strong. I watch the dolls go to school happily every day and listen to the dolls’ reading and literacy sounds. I am really happy...so...!"
Before he finished speaking, Xu Damao on the side suddenly said, "I'll go with you..."
"What... I know it's a trap, brother... why..." Cheng Kui asked in confusion by holding Liu Dageng's hand.
But Liu Dageng smiled slightly: "For the children's laughter, for the children's future... these are enough...!"
"Dad...I'll go with you too..." Liu Yuning's eyes turned red.
However, Liu Dagen shook his head slightly and said, "You are not allowed to go. I will go alone. If I haven't left Dunhuafang after an hour...then it means I am dead. At that time, you must run away quickly... Follow Xiao He who is begging Lan Lian... to Jiangnan by boat..."
"Brother...is it worth it... Let's just leave now..." Cheng Kui asked loudly.
"It's worth it..." Liu Dageng replied immediately without thinking: "For the future of the children, even if I die now, it's worth it..."
....................................
In the Nanqu, Zhou Likai took two thousand guan to find Nanqu's madam. Looking at the two thousand guan in Zhou Likai's hand, although the madam was a little reluctant, she still had Li You's face after all.
He had to bear the pain and promised to give Xiao Lian to Zhou Likai. However, it would take three days later, and Zhou Likai would have to bring enough dowry to marry his daughter. The madam told Zhou Likai that although Xiao Lian was a man of the world.
But he is also his daughter. If you want to marry his daughter, you must have three matchmakers and six recruits. Zhou Likai thought about it and agreed to this request, because Zhou Likai was sincere to the whole girl.
He doesn't care about the other party's identity, nor does he care about other people's vision. He wants to give his own girl the best. With such expectations, Zhou Likai promised Xiao Lian that he would go back and prepare for the preparation, prepare for the three media and six recruitment, and carry the sedan chair eight, and then pick up Xiao Lian back to Fengfeng at that time.
Of course Xiao Lian was very happy. Not only Xiao Lian was happy, but the whole Nanqu was happy. Although they were low-ranking prostitutes, they had a soul as noble as ordinary girls.
You can see that your sister was married by the Ming media. All the sisters in Nanqu were very happy and were preparing to give Xiao Lian a gift together, but everything was frozen in that day, and that day that could not be saved.
