Chapter Ninety-Eight: Acceptance (1)
Fang Guan was going to go to four places today, and the fruits and vegetables that were missing in the small kitchen ordered yesterday have been delivered this morning. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 At this time, the fat powder ordered by Sister Chunlan in the East Chamber, the red candle ordered by the big housekeeper, and the tobacco leaves asked by Uncle Li in the concierge were not bought. Looking at Yu Jingzhai, who was about to arrive in front of him, Fang Guan touched the beads of sweat on his head.
Fang Guan was also helpless, although he knew that he didn't buy good things, and it would be very difficult to buy them in the afternoon, but the flower cake that Miss had ordered before, Yu Jingzhai only had a certain amount of time when the first pot was freshly baked every day. I don't know when the rest of the freshly baked ones will come.
Coming to enter the store, Xiao Er's sharp eyes saw this old customer who had been coming on time to buy potpourri crisp in recent days. He greeted him with a smile and said, "Yo, you're just in time for now." We've just brought it out in the back kitchen, so come and sit down here, and I'll wrap it up for you. Or is it the old rules?"
Fang Guan smiled: "Hey, it's still the same." After that, according to Xiao Er's arrangement, he sat down at a table at the door to rest, and then began to enjoy the free tea that only old customers have.
After handing over the silver, Fang Guan left without touching the ground. What was just paid was the last bit of silver that Miss handed over to him, and when Fang Guan received the money, he planned to spend all this money on the things that Miss ordered, and he didn't hesitate at all.
It's just that his salary is not enough to support the daily expenses of the potpourri cake, so it is estimated that he will not be able to go to Jinyue Pavilion tomorrow. Although I have heard a lot of rumors recently, some say that they climb high branches, and some say that they are clever but have a gray nose.
But Fang Guan has his own plans in his heart, although he can't say how his purpose is above board, or in fact, it is not much different from the rumors, but Fang Guan also has his own insistence. Waving away the gloom in his heart, Fang Guan stepped up his pace. This is his last chance today, and Fang Guan doesn't want to leave any regrets. If it doesn't work out today, it is estimated that the chance of getting a chance in the end is even smaller, and maybe I can only find another way.
When Fang Guan rushed back to Li Mansion, a thin layer of sweat had appeared on his body, and the padded jacket issued by Li Fu felt that his heart was already soaked.
On the way to Jinyue Pavilion, Fang Guan was looking at the sky, worried that he had come a little later than usual. Seeing Jinyue Pavilion coming to him, Miss Li's personal girl Xiangxue, Fang Guan intuitively felt that Xiangxue didn't like him from the first meeting, so he almost instinctively avoided meeting Xiangxue.
At this time, too, seeing Xiangxue coming from a distance, Fang Guan instinctively wanted to pull his legs and run, but with such an obvious 'disrespectful' behavior, Fang Guan also knew that he was going to cause a big disaster for himself, so he could only lean against the wall quietly, hoping that Xiang Xue could ignore himself and go directly.
She stopped in front of her and said fiercely, "Follow me." ”
Fang Guan didn't know what was waiting for him, but he always had a bad intuition, and followed Xiangxue with a bitter face and walked towards Jinyue Pavilion.
But he didn't know that the opportunity he was waiting for was right in front of him.
This was the first time Fang Guan had come to Li Jin's study, or it should be said that this was the first time he had entered, except for the other rooms in the main hall of Li Mansion, and the main hall had only been entered when Fang Guan was hired for the first time.
I don't know what the aroma in the room makes people feel refreshed, the exquisite furnishings, the simple atmosphere of the tables and chairs, the young lady in a pale yellow robe sits behind the desk, I don't know what is being written.
The sun shines through the window lattice, and the mottled spots of light seem to cling to her like small butterflies. Fang Guan was stunned for a moment, remembering that when he was a child playing in the fields, a sister in a neighboring village, that quiet beauty has always remained in Fang Guan's heart.
It's just a spirit, Fang Guan immediately turned his gaze, and found that Xiang Xue beside Miss not far away was staring at him, and the frightened Fang Guan immediately bowed down and said, "Knock Miss Knock." ”
Li Jin retracted his thoughts, put down the wolf howl in his hand, and waved his hand to let Xiangxue go outside to guard.
Looking at the person in front of him quietly, Li Jin felt that he might be harming others, but he really needed such a helper. Li Jin told himself in his heart that he was just providing him with a chance, and it was up to him to decide whether to take this path. After finally convincing himself, Li Jin said calmly: "Get up." ”
Fang Guan stood at a loss at the bottom of Li Jin, still holding the potpourri crisp brought back from Yujingzhai in his hand, and the aroma of the pastry spread faster in the closed room under the steaming of the heat.
Li Jin looked at the paper box and asked, "Why do you send me a hundred flower cakes here every day?"
The villain thought that the young lady might like the taste. The freshly baked ones are the best, so they are delivered every day after the first pot is bought in the pot. ”
"Why do you only buy a little bit every time?"
"If you are foot, you will be disgusted. Hearing Fang Guan's answer, Li Jin was almost not surprised, and he didn't even say too much about his words, but raised his eyebrows.
"That's why you didn't buy enough of what I said the first time?"
"The villain didn't dare, but before the villain left the mansion, he heard that the young lady was going to a banquet that day, but he was afraid that he would not be able to return to the house soon, and he would not like sweets when he came back from the banquet. Fang Guan replied very calmly.
Li Jin didn't speak for a while, but when everything was silent, he suddenly asked a question that had no beginning or end.
"Why did you want to come to me?"
This sentence seemed to surprise Fang Guan slightly, but Li Jin obviously saw that the surprise in the eyes of the person opposite was obviously excessive excitement and disbelief. It was the reaction that only people would have when hope suddenly and without warning, Li Jin had been taught by her mother when she was a child, and she had witnessed it with her own eyes.
It's just that when he appeared in front of him at this moment, Li Jin suddenly felt that he was very ashamed of himself, and felt that he seemed to be taking advantage of others' danger.
But the situation has been running according to the established trajectory, and Li Jin can't take back his fate.
"Miss, Fang Guan has something to plead, if Miss can achieve Fang Guan's wishes, the villain will die in this life, in order to follow the work of dogs and horses. Saying that, Fang Guan knelt down again, his eyes staring at Li Jin's face tightly, as if he was afraid of finding a trace of remorse from above, and his eyes revealed a look of caution, hope and fear.
As soon as Li Jin touched those eyes, he was forced to divert his gaze by the hopeful gaze in them. I secretly replied in my heart that I was not his hope, or that after giving him hope, after completing his goal, I would take more of him at the price.
But Li Jin also knew that the reaction of the person on the other side at this time was something he could not miss, whether it was considering the degree of deep use of him in the future, or the point where he could be trusted.
Therefore, Li Jin forced himself to turn his gaze back again, facing these eyes that were like springs of emotion.
"Say it. ”
Li Jin's heart can almost be said to be painful, but listening to his own voice in his ears is calm, cold and unquestionable.
