Chapter XII
Time just goes by day by day, and the world will not stop because of the lack of anyone. The whole Li Garden doesn't seem to have changed because of Li Xunhuan's departure, people are still doing their own things every day and living their own lives, except for the old housekeeper who grew up watching Li Xunhuan grow up in front of Lin Yiyi, who often brushes up for his young master in front of Lin Yiyi, other people seem to have forgotten the original owner of this garden. Although Lin Yiyi doesn't like to see Li Xunhuan very much now, he also feels a little sorry for the loyal old servant, after all, he also really cares about Lin Shiyin. Of course, she dumped all the business matters on the housekeeper because she was still young and inexperienced, so she didn't dislike the housekeeper's nagging, absolutely not!
Since she threw all the trivial things to the housekeeper, Lin Yiyi has completely lived the life of a rice worm, but it is a little boring after a long time, Lin Yiyi is obviously not a qualified housemaid. After studying "The Treasure of Flowers" day and night, and finally confirming that she had the ability to protect herself, Lin Yiyi was no longer willing to stay in Li Yuan. Speaking of this, "The Treasure of Mercy Flowers" is really a strange book, the more in-depth the study, the more I feel that the knowledge contained in this book is huge, and it is very rare for ordinary people to be able to collect these unique knowledge and sort them out, not to mention being able to integrate the things inside, and now that poor playboy has become a god-like character in Lin Yiyi's heart.
Since becoming Wang Lianhua's brainless fan, Lin Yiyi has deeply reflected on herself, how can she let this peerless treasure be dusted because of her own selfish desires. At the beginning, Wang Lianhua handed over the book to Lin Shiyin in the hope that Li Xunhuan could find a successor on his behalf, but Lin Shiyin concealed the news because she didn't want her fiancΓ© to be involved in the martial arts dispute again. As for the fact that she has been studying wholeheartedly since she took over this body in order to protect herself, she didn't think about it at all, so it was not only Lin Shiyin who was untrustworthy, but she felt a little sorry for Wang Lianhua.
"It seems that the most important thing now is to quickly find a smart and handsome successor for the poor playboy, although he doesn't seem to have any requirements for the appearance of the heir, but if the heir of a beautiful son like Wang Lianhua is too ugly, it is not easy to see people." Lin Yiyi hurriedly took out the information of the young talents on the rivers and lakes collected by the housekeeper and listed their advantages and disadvantages one by one, and compared them with each other, striving to find the best one.
"Sun Xiaohong, this girl is kind and smart, but it's a pity that people have a grandfather with a big background, and a big one means a big trouble, so forget it!" Picking up the pen, Lin Yiyi spent a lot of time on Sun Xiaohong's name. "Shangguan Fei, too! And selfish, narrow-minded, and cowardly, how can such a person be written in the housekeeper. Jing Wuming is too loyal to Shangguan Hong! The rest of the people are some second ancestors who deceive the world and steal their reputations. Hey, it's a pity that Long Xiaoyun didn't have a chance to be born, otherwise it would be the most suitable to cultivate it with his qualifications! Looking at the underworld full of paper, Lin Yiyi really had no choice.
Suddenly, Lin Yiyi remembered the best candidate, "I'm so stupid, how can I forget him!" Whether it is in terms of qualifications or origins, he is the most suitable! Just how do you get to him? It's so far away from the gate, and I don't think it's convenient to go on the road alone! Lin Yiyi was annoyed and lay on the table sullenly, although this world is not like the general ancient times that have many restrictions on women, but Lin Shiyin's excellent appearance, if one person goes on the road, there will definitely be countless troubles!
What to do? Lin Yiyi racked her brains to think of countermeasures, and suddenly her eyes inadvertently swept over the crossed-out name on the paper. Sun Xiaohong, Wang Lianhua, she seems to have forgotten something. "Ahh Come to think of it! Purple Jade! Purple Jade! Lin Yiyi hurriedly summoned Ziyu in.
"Miss, what's wrong? What's wrong? Ziyu, who was guarding the door, heard the voice and hurriedly ran in from outside.
"Ziyu, is there a tavern near our house?"
"Tavern? There are a lot of taverns! Our Li Garden is located in the center of the city, and the surrounding area is very lively, and there are naturally many taverns and restaurants! β
"No, no, I'm asking if there's a tavern in the neighborhood that, well, it's more shabby, and no one usually goes to! Especially the boss is more eccentric! β
Hearing Lin Yiyi's question, Ziyu was speechless for a moment, and looked at the increasingly strange young lady strangely, Ziyu still dutifully replied: "I rarely have the opportunity to go out, I don't know the situation outside, but I inadvertently seem to have heard Xiao Liuzi complain about the strange owner of a tavern, but I don't know if it's the one that Miss is looking for." β
"Yes, yes, it must be him, call Xiao Liuzi quickly!" Lin Yiyi said excitedly, it didn't take any effort to get it, it seems that her luck is really good. After a while, a young man with a long camera followed Ziyu in.
"I heard Ziyu say that you once complained about the weirdness of the owner of a tavern, tell me more about what's going on?"
"Miss Hui, I said that this tavern is near our Li Garden. If you want to say that the wine of this house is really good, the taste is difficult to match in this radius of ten miles, that is, this boss is too arrogant. This man doesn't seem to make a living from this tavern, and his business is three days of fishing and two days of drying nets. Moreover, this boss only sells wine to those whom he thinks are pleasing to the eye, and he does not sell it even if others want to buy it for more money. Of course, some people have also tried to rob, but unfortunately they were all cleaned up by him. And this man's martial arts seem to be very high, and I have seen him knock six or seven men to the ground without any difficulty. β
"That's right! It must be him! Take me right away! Lin Yiyi stood up excitedly and hurriedly walked out.
Ziyu grabbed Lin Yiyi and said helplessly: "Miss, don't you look at what time it is, the tavern must have been closed a long time ago!" Where are you going to meet people now! It's better to have a good night's rest and go back tomorrow! β
"Yes! Then you remember that we will go early tomorrow morning! Alright, you go down first. After sending the others away, Lin Yiyi dragged Ziyu with great interest and began to pack up her things. I've heard that it's quite cold outside the gate, so I'm going to get ready to keep out the cold. I also have to tell the housekeeper to prepare a carriage that is both gorgeous and comfortable, she has coveted Li Xunhuan's carriage for a long time!
Early the next morning, Lin Yiyi followed Xiao Liuzi to the tavern, standing in front of the door and looking at the yellowed plaque and crumbling door frame, Lin Yiyi deeply doubted that someone would come to such a tavern? "You just wait here." After finishing speaking, Lin Yiyi pushed the door and walked in.
There were a few tables and chairs scattered in the dimly lit tavern, and a few empty bottles were piled up in one corner of the room, which looked a little dirty but did not smell but filled with a faint smell of wine. Lin Yiyi looked around at this small shop, and admired more and more in her heart, it was not easy to curl up in such a small place for more than ten years, just for a promise! Pity the dude really didn't see the wrong person!
Just when Lin Yiyi was thinking nonsense, the curtain of the inner room was lifted, and an old man dressed plainly walked out. I saw that he walked steadily, his eyes were bright, and when he looked back, he found that the man's back was bulging, and this man turned out to be a camel. The man stood still in front of Lin Yiyi and looked at the young girl. Although it seems that this woman is a weak lady, with his years of experience in the rivers and lakes, the little girl in front of him is not as harmless as she looks. "This girl, what wine do you want to buy?"
"Mr. Sun, I'm not here to buy wine!"
"Oh? Do you know who I am? β
"Sun Er, who is not a hunchback, Mr. Sun, the younger generation has been admired for a long time!"
"You've mistaken someone! I'm just a tavern owner, and if you want to buy wine, I'm welcome to do it, and I don't want to worry about anything else! β
"Old gentleman, don't rush to catch people, I live in this Li Garden, this time I came to tell Mr. sΓΉ that I will leave for Guanwai in a few days, and the purpose of this trip is to find a real owner for a magnificent book!" Lin Yiyi kept staring at the old man's eyes as he spoke, and sure enough, the old man's eyes flickered when he heard the strange book.
"I don't know what you're talking about?"
"Since the old gentleman doesn't know, forget it, but since I took the book away from Li Yuan, the old gentleman doesn't have to wait here. You have been away from home for many years, so you might as well take this opportunity to go home and have a look, which not only fulfills your homesickness, but also does not violate the agreement with the poor playboy. β
"You even know that agreement? Who the hell are you? The sharp eyes shot at Lin Yiyi like a sword, and the momentum that had been hidden only for the master was instantly released, and the thin old man in front of him lost his disguise, and at this moment he was still the chivalrous man who once crisscrossed the rivers and lakes.
"I'm Li Xunhuan's cousin!" Facing such a master for the first time, Lin Yiyi was a little uncomfortable, so she could only briefly explain her origin, although she was unwilling, she couldn't help but admit that compared to Lin Shiyin's unknown name, she was still Li Xunhuan's cousin, and this name was more able to win people's trust.
"At the beginning, Wang Lianhua's predecessor wanted to hand over the "Lianhua Baojian" to my cousin for safekeeping, but unfortunately my cousin was not there that day, so Wang Xian's predecessor handed over the book to me. For some reason, I never had the opportunity to give this to my cousin. Now that my cousin has left Li Yuan and is missing, I deeply feel that I have been entrusted by my predecessors. By chance, I learned that there is someone who has a deep relationship with Wang's predecessor, and this son is extremely talented and suitable to be the successor of Wang's predecessor, so I plan to see it for myself. I just hope that the old gentleman can know about this matter, after all, you have been waiting here for many years for the second book! β
Sun Er didn't react to talking about her money, but after Lin Yiyi finished speaking, he said lightly: "Where the book is, I will be there!" With that, he turned and walked into the back room.
Although she didn't get a clear answer, Lin Yiyi knew that her bodyguard was successfully hired. With a smile that had succeeded in her treacherous plan, Lin Yiyi turned around and left in a good mood.
Although she was just planning to travel lightly, it took half a month to prepare, including preparing a dry of items for travel and explaining a matter of affairs at home after she left, and the complicated things almost shook Lin Yiyi's determination to go out. Don't go out for the rest of your life! Woo~ It's terrible! This is also the reason why no matter how someone coerces and lures Lin Yiyi in the future, Li Yuan will not come out, of course, this is a later story.
