Chapter Eighty-Nine: Lively
I returned to Bofu, but it was just the first moment.
Le Xifeng went straight to Lancui Courtyard for a while, and Li was listening to Le Qi's return in the flower hall of Ronghui Courtyard.
Whispering into the room, she smiled at Lee, and Le Xi sat down beside her.
Li also smiled back, and motioned for Le Qi to continue.
"Finally, after verification, the silver money recovered was added, and there are still 53,200 taels of cash in the house. The total loss of the replaced goods sold was more than 46,000 taels, and the grange was greedy for more than 40,000 taels...... Everything has been re-registered, just waiting for Madame to check it one last time. Le Qi respectfully reviewed the matter in detail, and presented a large set of keys in his hand.
Mother Xu stepped forward to take it, and Li nodded appreciatively: "The hard work is in charge, and the things are counted overnight." ”
I'm afraid that I will not sleep until I am in a hurry, and I will come out of it.
Le Qi bowed his head: "I don't dare to get the word Mrs. hard work, it should have been done by the old slave, and the old slave asked Mrs. to punish him for his dereliction of duty." So saying, he knelt down.
Li signaled to Xu's mother, and Xu's mother immediately helped him up.
"Uncle Du Dao will make up for his mistakes, and Manager Le has done things so well, so he naturally resists all punishments. However, we still have to trouble Manager Le again. ”
Le Qi was busy saying that he should not be troublesome, and looked like he was waiting for orders.
In the face of Le Qi, who is not delicate and impatient, Li appreciates it even more. "The steward of the house has gone like this, but almost two-thirds of them have gone, and the vacant positions still need to be filled, so Mr. Le has to draw up a list of some competent people. Well... It's not necessarily about ability, the most important thing is a loyal word! Mr. Le has been in Bofu for decades, and I still believe in your vision. ”
Unexpectedly, the Li family confessed such an important matter, and this kind of trust without mustard at all made Le Qi so excited that he almost shed tears.
I only heard him say in a trembling voice: "The old slave must be properly selected, considered, and then drawn up a list for Madame." ”
Li said well, reached out and picked up the tea bowl, and Le Qi also bowed at this time to leave.
Mother Xu saw that people were far away. Zou Mei said to Li with some uneasiness: "Madam, the position of the housekeeper really can't make any mistakes." Although Mr. Le is an old man, he is afraid that the people he introduced are also good friends with him. In case ......"
Le Xi interjected with a smile: "Mother Xu, don't worry. You see that her mother is full of confidence, and in the end I don't know who was pitted. ”
Li Shi glanced at her with disgust, laughed and scolded all the nonsense, and then said in a deep voice: "This kind of thing will definitely not happen again, people's hearts are difficult to control." But the rules are dead, and they can't jump out of that box. ”
Although Xu's mother didn't know what Li's plans were, her confidence in achieving things made her feel a lot more at ease.
Recently, she has seen the changes of the Li family and the changes of Le Shaoyuan. The couple returned to stickiness and respect as if they had just gotten married, and the days were getting better and better.
Lexi's temperament has changed, although sometimes he is still sharp and persistent, but he can do it with the willfulness of the past. It is more than 10,000 times better to beat and scold at every turn. and Le Shaoyuan are also affectionate.
This is a long house that has not seen a love shadow for nearly ten years, Xu's mother thought about reciting the Buddha's name, praying that the peaceful and full days of the long house can last for a long time.
The mother and daughter didn't know that it was just some trivial things, which caused Xu's mother to have a psychological change, and the two were discussing in a low voice how to entertain the guests for a while.
In ancient times, in addition to the female red qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, I really couldn't think of anything, and what else would I do.
Le Xi thought that these were not interesting, so he said to Li that it would be better to play some pitching pot and throw circles. Forget about the garden. However, it is also some activities before lunch, and the time is limited. Add some color to it.
Li thought about it, and knew that there were only a few things that were stubborn in ancient times, and what Le Xi said was relatively lively. The girls of the Xungui family are also often stubborn games. Then you should send someone to prepare something.
After the discussion was over, a little maid came outside the door, and she was in a hurry.
"Madam, Mrs. Wuding Hou and Mrs. Qi Shangshu should go to the Hanging Flower Gate."
Hearing this, Le Xi and Li were surprised.
Isn't it just Mrs. Wuding Hou who came to the door? Why did Lian come along?!
People have already come to the door, and it is useless to think about it. The mother and daughter tidied up their appearance and went to the door of the hanging flower to greet people.
In the meantime, Le Xi remembered something again, and turned his head to ask the maid who came to report the news: "The sons of the Qi Mansion of the Chen Mansion are all here?!" ”
The maid sighed, her face flustered: "The slave should die!" Slaves and maids should be damned! I forgot about it! ”
"Mother Xu, you went to find my brother, there is a foreign man, he is still good to accompany him. Then I reported it to my grandmother. Sure enough, as he thought, Le Xi anxiously explained to Xu's mother.
Mother Xu hurriedly agreed and changed her ways.
The Li family became curious: "How do you know that the prince of the two mansions will come?" ”
Le Xi smiled: "The girl from the Chen Mansion will come, and the Qi Mansion will also come, indicating that Sister Xin is also here." And the eldest prince of Qi Mansion has a relationship with Le Yu, and he was together with his brother yesterday, and it is normal to come today. Moreover, Chen Shizi and the eldest prince of Qi are also good friends. ”
After this series of relationships, it must have come, and it should not have come, and they all came!
Li Shi smiled, "This is a string of doors, the relationship is so complicated, it's really head-catching." ”
Le Xi nodded noncommittally, but no, it's lively again!
"Mother, that Chen Shizi ......" Thinking of Chen Jiexuan, who he had just wanted to meet, Le Xi's mood suddenly fell.
Li noticed her strangeness and took her hand: "People are similar, I can save it!" Don't keep talking in your heart, if you reveal something, it will cause people to misunderstand, and I'm afraid that you won't be able to explain it again. ”
After Li Shiyi's words, Le Xi was inexplicably a little confused, and nodded indiscriminately.
When the two of them were about to arrive at the Hanging Flower Gate, Le Yu also rushed over from another trail, breathing slightly chaotic.
"Mother, my son didn't know that the sons of the two mansions were coming, and he was late." Le Yu saluted, said.
Li Shi also said in a rather melancholy tone: "I didn't know that Qi Mansion also came to the door, but I was really a little flustered." ”
As he said this, the sound of a car rolling over the ground was heard not far away, and the three of them hurriedly walked around the shadow wall.
As soon as he walked to the door, Lian's sweet-sounding voice had already gotten out of the car, and when he saw the mother and son, he greeted happily.
"Sister Li, I came uninvited, but I surprised you. And I've prepared enough gifts, and when you see the gifts, you can't dislike me for making trouble, and you want to drive people out! ”
Li Shi was amused and laughed: "Then you have to let me see the gift first, otherwise, I will bury you for nothing!" ”
As soon as the two came and went, they came to face to face, looked at each other and smiled.
At this time, Mrs. Wudinghou, who was smiling with her eyebrows and eyes, also got out of the carriage, and when she saw that the two were affectionate, she also stepped forward with a smile.
"I haven't seen Uncle Anding for a long time, and my complexion is getting better and better, and I am a few years younger. I'll have to ask you for advice on how to maintain it..." )
