The essence of pursuing fame and fortune is not only to enjoy good food and clothing, but also to enjoy glory and wealth, but also to gain greater power and thus improve one's own and the fate of others.

No one wants to be prey to the sword, and people without a backing are just fish in the eyes of those with a backing.

Even small places like Qingshui Town still collect protection fees. If the government collects them, the local gangsters will also collect them.

The Li family was exempted from these things because Zhang Tieniu was protecting her, but now Li Qingyou is being protected by the Wei family and the Shen family, and even the county magistrate of Qingshan County has to give her some thin noodles.

Opportunities and dangers coexist, it depends on how she grasps them, and besides, she can't hide even if she wants to, so just accept it.

As for what will happen in the future, isn’t it not yet in the future? Let’s wait until then.

After thinking about it, Li Qingyou became more relaxed. She changed her previous frown and spoke more briskly, and Manager Zhao looked at her with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

Are you trying to persuade yourself to understand?

No matter what, it would be best if she could figure it out on her own.

Next, Manager Zhao talked to Li Qingyou about some precautions. Unlike Manager Cao, he had no selfish motives and did everything his master told him. Therefore, he only talked about practical things, unlike Manager Cao who spent all day long.

Bragging.

Li Qingyou also listened very carefully, fearing that he would forget some details, so he also brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote them down in detail, divided into one, two and three.

No one dislikes conscientious and obedient children, and Manager Zhao is no exception. Just look at the way she holds the pen and this... what kind of magic symbols are these?

It looks like a character but doesn't seem to be the same. Let alone the font, each one looks like a tadpole and I can't even read it.

"Girl, what you wrote is..." Manager Zhao's brows knitted into knots, and he was wondering whether he should ask an accountant to follow him.

Li Qingyou smiled and said that these were the key points he said before, "...I'll write it down so I don't forget it."

Manager Zhao, "..."

Okay, as long as she can understand it.

The eldest son said that there is no need to interfere for the time being, and everything will be discussed later, so the accounting office and other matters should be forgotten first.

"This is a small business with a clerk's seal, but it is still better to write a document in black and white. What does the girl think?" Manager Zhao said: "This is also a guarantee for the girl."

With the document in hand, if the Japanese guard's family reneges, she can take the document and go to the government to sue them.

Of course, this is just a pretense to comfort Li Qingyou. The poor will not fight with the rich, and the people will not fight with the officials. She, a commoner, wants to fight against the officials. It is simply a fantasy, even if she has documents in her hand, it will be useless.

Manager Zhao knows this very well, and Li Qingyou is not stupid either.

But the cutscenes that need to be made still have to be made.

Li Qingyou nodded, "Then Lao Zhao will be in charge."

Although it was just a document to fool around with, it couldn't be careless. Manager Zhao asked Li Qingyou to sit down for a while while he went to prepare the document.

It's not difficult to write a document. Manager Zhao is literate himself, but he still needs to get it stamped at the government office, which is more troublesome. Li Qingyou is the only one left in the front hall.

Sitting like this is not a problem. Li Qingyou was thinking about his brother and couldn't run around at will, so he called a boy waiting outside the door to ask where Wei Siqi was.

"Young Master is still studying and will rest at noon." The young man bowed his head and said.

Li Qingyou asked about his brother again, "The guy who came with me was called away by your young master as soon as he came in. Tell me where he is and I'll go find him."

The young man seemed to hesitate for a moment, but nodded and took Li Qingyou to look for her. As a result, as soon as he passed through an archway, he came face to face with a little maid. She was very happy to see Li Qingyou, "Miss Li, right? Our Aunt Lan has invited you."

Aunt Lan?

Li Qingyou looked at each other suspiciously. In the Wei family, she only knew the two brothers Wei Siqi. She also knew the Fourth Miss Wei, Manager Zhao and the maid Hexiang. Where did this Aunt Lan come from?

"Aunt Lan is the aunt in the eldest son's courtyard, please move here." The little maid said again.

It turned out to be the concubine of Mr. Wei.

Li Qingyou thought about it secretly and didn't understand what it meant, so she didn't want to go. There must be a monster if something went wrong, and she didn't know Lao Shizi's Aunt Lan.

"I'm afraid it's inconvenient. Manager Zhao is still waiting for me. Let's go and say hello to Aunt Lan when we have the opportunity in the future." Li Qingyou cupped her hands and was about to leave.

Naturally, the little maid stopped working. If she didn't do the things her master told her well, she would be scolded lightly. If she made a mistake, she would be punished. Their master was not a good-tempered master.

"If there is any inconvenience, I asked specifically before coming here. Manager Zhao has left the house and will not come back. Miss Li, please come with me." The little maid stood in front, as if she would not give up until she achieved her goal.

.

The more she behaves like this, the more suspicious Li Qingyou becomes and the more she doesn't want to go.

"There are women living in the backyard. It's really inconvenient for me to dress like a man. It would be a sin if someone saw me and started gossiping." Li Qingyou cupped her hands, "I have something else to do, so I'll excuse you."

After saying that, he was about to leave.

"Stop." The little maid blocked Li Qingyou's path with her arms crossed, her eyes widened, and she said angrily that she didn't understand the rules, "Our aunt sincerely invites you, Miss Li is so disrespectful, if you make our aunt angry, you

Can you afford the sin?"

What kind of gangster logic is this?

Who stipulates that if she is invited, she must go?

If it were in modern times, Li Qingyou would definitely turn around and leave, telling her that she would die.

Unfortunately, this is not modern.

Having said that, Li Qingyou could no longer refuse, so she could only nod and follow the little maid.

Aunt Lan lived in the Lanxiang Courtyard. There were clusters of orchids in the yard, and several little maids were waiting on her on the porch in front of the door.

The little maid who led the way asked Li Qingyou to wait, then turned and walked to the little maid at the entrance of the courtyard and said a few words. The maid at the entrance went to whisper a few words to the maid on the corridor, and the maid on the corridor lifted the curtain and entered the house.

It wasn't until a while later that the maid in the corridor came out and went to the maid at the entrance of the courtyard. The maid at the entrance of the courtyard let Li Qingyou in. The whole process lasted almost as long as a cup of tea.

This troublesome person, Li Qingyou felt that if he was waiting for help, when the people inside got the message, they would probably have to pretend to be dead.

When Li Qingyou was brought into the flower hall, she discovered that there were two people sitting inside. One of them she knew was Miss Wei Si.

As for the young and charming woman sitting on the other side, she should be Aunt Lan.

The doubts in my heart were suddenly opened. It seemed that Miss Wei Si had instigated Aunt Lan to find her, and she was not a good person.
