Chapter 178
It's hard to say no to someone, and it's even harder to say no to someone who cares about you very much.
Both Zhao Xiaoshan and his son are very good people, and Li Qingyou doesn't want to hurt her feelings because of this incident, or even be embarrassed. This requires certain skills.
The first priority of technique is to be fast.
Martial arts in the world are fast. As long as you convey your rejection to the other party before they speak, you can solve the problem with everyone fully aware of it.
So at this moment, Li Qingyou interrupted Xiaoshan Niang directly, "By the way, Auntie, have you heard of Jinguang Temple?"
Li Qingyou considers herself to be relatively well-educated. No matter in her previous life or after time travel, she rarely interrupts others abruptly when they are talking. This is a very impolite behavior.
But she couldn't care about it at this moment. When she saw Xiaoshan Niang and almost asked her directly if she could get married to Zhao Xiaoshan, she had no choice but to interrupt her.
Xiaoshan Niang obviously didn't expect to be interrupted at this stall. She was stunned for a moment, nodded and shook her head. The name was a temple, and she didn't know anything else.
"When I went to Yuzhou Prefecture this time, I specially went to offer incense. I heard that it was very efficacious. People from hundreds of miles around came to ask for the signature, and I also asked for it." Li Qingyou continued in the astonishment of Xiaoshan Niang: "
Guess what signature I’m asking for?”
What signature do you want?
Marriage sign!
You can't just ask for a high-ranking official to sit on a horse, but to ride a horse.
This kind of spying on a girl's thoughts is always a bit exciting. Xiaoshan Niang came over with interest, and deliberately lowered her voice, with a look of understanding on her face, and a hint of a playful girl's smile, "
Marriage sign, right?”
Although it is a question, it is also filled with determination.
The girl's family had an early awakening. It was normal for a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl to ask for a marriage sign, unlike the stupid son in her family who was ignorant and ignorant.
Li Qingyou smiled and nodded, her lowered eyebrows seemed to be shy like a girl under the weak candlelight, "Master Huiyuan also helped me to unravel the contract, saying that my marriage was not going well when I was young, and I had to wait until I was twenty to have a good marriage.
.”
At twenty years old, it's too late. Xiaoshan Niang can't hide her disappointment.
"They also said that my marriage is thousands of miles away in the south." Li Qingyou said again.
Not only was I disappointed, but I was also heartbroken.
"Master also specifically told me not to get married early, otherwise the disharmony between husband and wife will lead to bloody disasters." Li Qingyou added another element of anger.
My heart felt completely cool.
"Ah, you can't be careless." After saying this, Xiaoshan Niang stopped talking.
Li Qingyou also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, people in this era believe in gods and Buddhas. Otherwise, she would have been unable to say anything else if she had refused so bluntly.
Even if she said it out loud, it would inevitably be awkward when meeting in the future, and that was something she didn't want to see.
As for Xiaoshan Niang, who originally planned to sleep at Li's house tonight, she didn't know whether she was disappointed or embarrassed. After speaking, she excused herself to go home and left in a hurry, without even hearing Li Qingyou say goodbye to her.
Looking at the disappearing figure of Xiaoshan Niang under the night, Li Qingyou also sighed, hoping that she didn't realize that Jinguang Temple was just an excuse to refuse.
Back in the house, Adi was waiting for Li Qingyou, preparing to recite the multiplication table to her.
"I can not only memorize it upright, but also memorize it backwards, and I can also write it out." Adi took out a piece of paper as if offering a treasure, and on it was the multiplication formula written according to the one written by Li Qingyou.
With the incident of whipping his back during dinner, Li Qingyou was not surprised at all that his brother could carry his back backwards, but seeing his proud look now made him want to hit him.
"Okay, what is fifteen fifteen?" Li Qingyou unexpectedly raised the difficulty level. Seeing his dumbfounded brother leaning forward and back with joy, he kindly reminded: "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to calculate. You can pick up stones.
If you pick up fifteen pieces in one group, you will know if you pick up fifteen pieces and add another piece."
Adi, "..."
My sister is so annoying.
After Li Qingyou washed her face, she added some hot water to soak her feet. Her feet were suffering a lot these days and needed some comfort.
As a result, as soon as I entered the house with the basin in hand, I saw Adi sitting on the edge of the kang with a small mouth pouted, a gloomy look on his face, and the multiplication table he had written silently in his hand.
As a child, no, not just a child, it is not easy even for an adult to do this in such a short time, so she should praise Adi.
But Adi is a rather bratty type. No matter how well-behaved he pretends to be, he is still arrogant at heart. He belongs to the type that shines brightly if you give him some sunshine, and he can lay eggs in a broken basket.
Such a child is extremely proud if he doesn't praise him. No matter how much he praises him, his tail will be raised to the sky.
Li Qingyou decided to keep some pressure on him to avoid getting carried away.
He placed the water basin on the ground next to the edge of the kang, took off his shoes and socks and put his feet in. The slightly scalding water reached his ankles. Li Qingyou almost didn't scream, but quickly took his feet out. His snow-white feet had already been burned to red.
"You haven't calculated it yet?" Li Qingyou looked over sideways.
Adi turned his head to face her and snorted, it was too bullying.
Yo, are you still angry?
Li Qingyou found it interesting. From her angle, she could see Adi's bulging side face, and his snow-white jade face was pink and tender due to anger, like a round meat bun, with tiny fluff visible.
Different from her usual cute appearance, even when she is angry, she is cute and tight, making people want to go up and have a smack.
With this thought in mind, Li Qingyou just did it, raised her hands, rubbed her face, and slapped her face, all in one go.
Adi rubbed his face in disgust, glared at Li Qingyou, and continued to point the back of his head towards her.
Usually, Sister Qingyou likes his face very much, either kissing, pinching or rubbing him. Apart from being uncomfortable at first, he later also liked this kind of intimacy.
But not when he is angry.
Do you think he is so easy to coax if you give him a sweet date after a slap in the face?
"Do you want me to tell you the answer?" Li Qingyou felt that it was almost done. Although she wanted to suppress Adi's arrogance, only she knew the real reason.
She just had nothing to do and wanted to tease him, and it was fun to see him angry.
Now that I have played enough, I can no longer make the little guy angry, so I still have to coax him.
Adi didn't look back, but his shoulders moved, as if he wanted to turn back but then changed his mind, but from the side, he could be seen looking over from the corner of his eye.
Li Qingyou smiled, the little guy wanted to know the answer but couldn't lose face.
In fact, Li Qingyou only guessed half of it right. Adi also wanted to know if Sister Qingyou gave him a question, does she know the answer herself?
Maybe she pulled it out casually just to confuse him.
Just when Adi was waiting to hear the answer, he heard Li Qingyou yawn and said lazily, "Forget it if you don't listen, um... I'm so sleepy, I have to get up early tomorrow, hurry up
Go to sleep."
