Chapter 20: Eavesdropping
The last quarter moon hung in the sky and was not bright, and the breeze was gentle, and from time to time a cloud or two blew in, just enough to cover the pitiful crescent moon. It is also a good weather for some people to act at night, and Li Yi plans to visit Ronghua Courtyard at night tonight!
It was not wrong to say that he was more familiar with Andingbo's Mansion than Mu Jinrou, this person was wearing a night coat and turned over through the side door. Along the way, I took those routes that were not taken seriously, and soon came to the Ronghuayuan Temple, which was still lit up.
Mu Jinrou's bedroom is easy to find, because there is a lush hydrangea outside the window. After Li Yi came to the window, he held his breath and eavesdropped outside.
After Mu Jinrou ate and drank well with everyone, she chatted with a cup of tea, which made people feel so warm. In particular, her laughter was crisp and pleasant, and there was no dissatisfaction in living in such a remote yard.
Li Yi listened and the corners of his mouth slowly curled, he was very unfamiliar with this kind of Mu Jinrou, but this kind of Mu Jinrou was what he dreamed of before.
In the past, Mu Jinrou spoke softly and weakly, and she was as weak as water, which made people pity, but the worry between her eyebrows could not be dissolved. Let the people who are close to him also be infected with a layer of sorrow for no reason, and the mood can't be happy.
But now Mu Jinrou is different, Li Yi can detect an optimistic and cheerful spirit from this laughter, which can make people happy silently.
"So my wish came true." Li Yi muttered to himself silently in his heart, but the next moment his brows furrowed again.
Mu Jinrou is a dispensable person in Andingbo Mansion, and he is destined to change his fate in this life. The most important point is that you can't let your stepmother's tricks succeed, but if your stepmother's tricks don't succeed, it will be impossible for me and Mu Jinrou to succeed.
Li Yi's heart is struggling, he was miserable in his last life, not because he was not angry, but because his luck was too unsuccessful! It seems that God is on the side of his opponent, and before he dies, he even thinks that what he is doing is really not helping the righteous path? Otherwise, how could God have let their side lose?
The moment he closed his eyes, he died with endless regret. But when he opened his eyes again, he found that he seemed to have just dreamed, and he was ten years younger, and he lived again on the night when his father had righted his concubine as his step-room.
With a miserable experience, he quickly came out of the grief of losing his mother, and collected all the property in the hands of his mother and grandmother as quickly as possible, so that his stepmother, who climbed from a concubine to the main room, did not get any benefit. In this life, he will never step into his stepmother's tricks again!
However, so you can't go further with Mu Jinrou? If you want to say who he was most sorry for in his previous life, it should be Mu Jinrou. She was his wife, and although it was the result of their stepmother's calculations, they were both having a hard time at that time, but they also respected each other like guests.
When the crown prince's side was defeated by the king of Qin, he knew that he would not survive, so he sent his cronies to quietly send Mu Jinrou and his grandmother out of Beijing. At that time, Mu Jinrou was already pregnant, and I don't know if she and her grandmother escaped? and the child who has never met, he is really ashamed of Mu Jinrou.
So in this life, he saw the right time to dig a hole outside the cool temple to save her. This is also the thing Mu Jinrou feared the most in her previous life.
"Alas!" Listening to the heart-warming laughter, Li Yi sighed softly, "Didn't you make up your mind not to provoke her in this life?" ”
He wanted to leave, but when he heard Mu Jinrou's laughter, he couldn't help but look back.
Mu Jinrou and Mama Li in the house didn't notice that there was still a person staring outside the window, and they were talking about their next steps with relish.
Mu Jinrou said: "You all have an idea, what should we do?" You can't sit and eat empty, right? ”
Mama Li immediately objected: "Miss, this can't be done. You are a girl from the uncle's house, and you can't do business in the open. ”
Mu Jinrou frowned and retorted, "Mama's idea is not right. Even when my mother got married, didn't there still be a dozen shops? Although the specific things are done by the steward, it is also the mother's inheritance. The hateful Hu family dared to rob these, and starved my mother's baby, it was really thunder that day. ”
Mama Li echoed very assertively: "Alas, yes." In fact, Miss was right, the lady's dowry shop back then was in a good location in the capital. Jinlin Yuan can't operate, and it has been sold more than half of it over the years. If Miss insists on doing some small business, it is better to think of an idea, our mother will come to Zhang Luo, and Miss will be the fourth girl in the house with peace of mind. ”
Mu Jinrou nodded and said, "That's fine." I have to think about it, and in a moment my grandmother will tell me what is in my mother's dowry, and I will take it back with interest in the future. ”
Several people thought about it, and finally Mu Jinrou said: "Why don't we open a small dim sum shop, I will make a few good dim sum." Now that it's hot, make some cold drinks and you'll definitely make some money. It's just that this shop is hard to find, and we only have one hundred and fifty taels of silver now. ”
Mama Li and the three of them couldn't do anything about it, so they just said: "It's okay, our mothers and sisters can make dim sum, this is no problem." As for the shop...... It's really hard to find. ”
Li Yi, who heard this outside, almost said that he had a shop!
Unconsciously, he was already attracted by Mu Jinrou's words. also knew that Mu Jinrou was not reborn, she was really twelve years old, but her personality became more likable.
Listening to this, he showed a slight negligence, and when he realized this, he noticed a small pebble flying quickly, and he flicked it with his short sword, and the stone struck the window edge.
The "bang" scared Mu Jinrou and the others a lot.
Mama Li immediately shouted, "What person? ”
At the same time, Li Yi's figure quickly left.
When Mama Li opened the door, she saw Mu Bowen standing outside the door, "Young, young master?" ”
Mu Jinrou and the three of them were all relieved when they saw that it was him.
Mu Bowen didn't explain how he came in, but his face didn't seem to be very good, he looked at Mu Jinrou and said, "It's getting late, you should rest." ”
Mu Jinrou pouted and walked to the side of the bed, reluctantly: "Got it." ”
Mu Bowen turned to Mama Li again and said solemnly: "Mama Li, my mother left you with my sister to show that she trusts you." In the future, I have to urge my sister to rest early, don't live up to my mother's expectations! ”
Mama Li said with trepidation: "Yes, the slave has written it down." What else does the young master command? ”
"It's gone." Mu Bowen turned around and left.
Mama Li and the others never asked him how he got in, as if everything was so logical.
Besides, after Li Yi was beaten away by Mu Bowen with a stone, he kept thinking that there was a master hidden in the Bofu? But I didn't want to go back empty-handed, so I wanted to listen to what Mu Jinrou's mother-in-law Hu was calculating at this time.
