Some people say that it is a mistake; Some people say that it is self-defeating; Some people also say that it is the creation of people in the dark. That's the so-called fate.

After the winter solstice, the weather gradually cooled down, and the clothes on the pedestrians were thickened layer by layer, no longer as warm and comfortable as in summer, and the footsteps of people on the road became much faster.

In addition to having fun with his wine and meat friends, Li Tianyu spent most of his time in his own shop looking at the accounts, they were all the sons in charge of the family, and every grass and tree in the family would eventually fall into their hands. And there are often so many younger brothers behind them, and even the elder brother who is out of the house is staring at this position, they can mess around after drinking at the Biyue Tea House that can never wear out the gossip, they can bully and be arrogant, and they can leave rumors in their own circles, but most of those things will not spread to the ears of outsiders, nor will they become a stain on their glamorous appearance.

After a busy day in the shop, no matter how tired he was when he returned home, he had to cheer up and rush to report the situation in the shop with the old man on this day.

But now the old man doesn't know what medicine he took wrong, and he blamed him in several places along the way, and said that he has been working in the shop for so long now, but he still doesn't know the priorities, and said that he is not as good as his younger brother because he knows nothing about the current situation in Jiangnan. All this made Li Tianyu also indignant in his heart, but he could only respectfully respond to the good life to accompany him, and after talking to the old man for a long time, Li Tianyu finally dragged his tired body back to his yard and just entered the second gate. The girl in the house quickly got on the front end of the tea, poured water, and waited for a change of clothes.

It wasn't until he returned to his yard that Li Tianyu became an uncle, and he was served by nephrite jade and Jin Xiang to wipe his hands and wash his face, and the girl also saw that Li Tianyu was in a bad mood, and she was lazy with her, if it was in the past. He had already rubbed some oil on the maid he was close to. Take off your coat. After changing into regular clothes, Li Tianyu returned to the inner room tiredly.

Li Tianyu is not young among the gentlemen, and his wife already has two sons and a daughter. The eldest son is eleven, the eldest daughter is seven years old, this young son has just been fed by the nurse and is in the arms of Mrs. Xu, and Xu is also smiling and teasing. Although the Hui family has three sons, they are still very well maintained. She is frugal and virtuous, and she is also a typical Jiangnan lady.

Seeing Li Tianyu come back, Xu hurriedly handed the child in his arms to the nurse, and originally planned to let her husband also see her son. coaxed and hugged, but when I looked at Li Tianyu's expression, there was also the humble appearance of the girl behind him. He smiled and stepped forward to greet him and asked, "Master, what's wrong?" He waved his hand to the nurse holding the child. Let them step aside.

Li Tianyu was very annoyed in his heart, but looking at the undefatched wife in front of him, his tone inevitably softened: "Is it Kun'er?" Come and take a look, I haven't seen Kun'er for many days. ”

When the nurse heard this, she looked at Xu's, Xu's also hurriedly laughed, beckoning them to come over with the child, Xu's own child, and then handed it to Li Tianyu, Li Tianyu took it, holding the baby in the swaddling clothes with clumsy hands and feet, looking at the white and chubby little doll babbling at him, his face was finally relieved, and he said lightly: "You all stand down." ”

A room of maids and mothers-in-law also knew each other, and they all hurriedly retreated, Xu knew that her husband had something to say to her, so she also sat on the side with a smile, while protecting the child, for fear that he would fall if he hugged the child.

"Master, but the sixth master of the third room has upset you again?" Xu asked tentatively, while pouring a cup of tea for Li Tianyu.

Li Tianyu teased the child's hand stiffly, as if he was also out of interest, handed the child in his hand to Xu, and picked up the tea on the table: "Hmph, he also deserves to be called Ye?" The son born to a knows how to sell the old man to make him happy! ”

Xu Shi hugged the child, and finally let go in his heart, while coaxing the child, he said to Li Tianyu: "You are right, depending on how he makes trouble, after all, it is a child born to an aunt, and he can't go beyond you." ”

Li Tianyu said: "I naturally know, otherwise the Li family still has a place for him to jump." It's just that this kid is too unrestrained, he is competitive all day long, and he dares to compare with me everywhere, and he doesn't want to think about what he is! When he was allowed to enter the shop, I saw that they were pitiful, which is good, the family doesn't know how to work all day long, just thinking about how to coax the old man! ”

Xu said: "Ye is reasonable, he is too ignorant of his identity. But don't be too angry, the old man said a few words, but he was just afraid that he would fight so hard and ruin your reputation, I want you to work hard, I want you to say good inside and out, don't let people gossip. Don't look at the old man talking about him in front of you, but when he is facing the sixth master alone, he must also remind him that there is no need to respect and be humble and keep to himself. ”

Li Tianyu sneered: "That little thing doesn't seem to be able to listen to the old man's words." ”

Xu Shi lowered his head and coaxed his son, as if he said casually: "Then your eldest brother is like a father, think of a way to mention him." ”

When Li Tianyu heard this, his eyes deepened, and he stopped talking, only lowered his head and inadvertently played with the teacup in his hand without speaking.

Seeing that Li Tianyu also seemed to have an idea, Xu suddenly remembered something and said: "Master, I just remembered that the Fang family sent two pieces of cloth today, saying that they wanted to meet our old man and ask about the silk." ”

Li Tianyu twisted his eyebrows: "What kind of thing is the Fang family, they took such a small advantage in the field, she Mo Xiangsi really thought that she was the corner, how could the old man have the time to see her, the old man was annoyed, let me go back to this kind of trivial matter?" Naturally, it's gone! ”

Xu said: "However, I think those two silks are not bad......

Li Tianyu didn't listen to Xu's words, but just waved his hand and said impatiently: "If you like it, you can use it to make two clothes, so there is no need to be verbose about such a trivial matter." ”

With that, he stepped into the study and went to work with him.

Xu Shi sighed unfinished, beckoned the girl in, let the nurse take her son out, looked at the cloth on the table, and didn't dare to say more in front of Li Tianyu, just said: "Let people make two clothes." ”

Mo Xiangsi had already booked a place in Biyue Tea House, and Mo Xiangqian thought that once Li Wanqian saw the fabric of the glazed brocade, he would definitely come. However, she was thought of at all that this fabric might not be able to enter Li Wanqian's hands at all.

Mo Xiangsi began to wait in Biyue Tea House at noon, this time she walked in openly, now she is the head of the Fang family, and she is also a person with status and status, no one dares to stop her in nature, Mo Xiangsi looks at the Biyue Tea House now, and also feels that the scenery is pleasant everywhere, and she is no longer the appearance of being humiliated here back then, and the maids are respectful to Mo Xiangsi.

However, Mo Xiangsi waited from noon to afternoon, the tea on the table changed several times, and even the melons and fruits on the plate Mo Xiangsi were empty several times, but he still couldn't stop the hunger, and gradually Mo Xiangsi was also angry, could it be that the old man of the Li family didn't come? No, no, no. Presumably, people are busy during the day and want to come at night, but until it gets dark, there is no ghost here. Mo Xiangsi looked at the maid who was accompanying her here, and her eyes began to become disdainful and contemptuous.

Mo Xiangsi was furious, damn, he actually released the old lady pigeon, and he didn't even say a word!

Mo Xiangsi was angry, thinking that if he ate so many fruits of other people here for nothing, it would be too embarrassing to drink tea and leave!

This time it must be recovered, so the one who ordered a big table here alone was the most expensive, so that the maids and maids all retreated, and they ate and drank alone.

Mo Xiangsi took a bite of a sea cucumber and drank bird's nest porridge, it was really delicious, it could be that she was really hungry, Mo Xiangsi also took advantage of the fun to drink two sips of wine, full of wine and food, Mo Xiangsi also wrapped the roast chicken that did not move to Fang Jin, after all, you can't come in vain, it's just Nima, this Li Wanqian, is really shameless, you wait, see me Mo Xiangsi will still do business with you in the future!

Mo Xiangsi thought about it while walking out, his steps were a little erratic, although the fruit wine here was sweet and refreshing, but it had great stamina. Mo Xiangsi looked at the scene of the black hole in front of him in a daze, his brows furrowed slightly, and he felt that the scenery in front of him was a little familiar, where is it? When is it?

Mo Xiangsi's eyes lit up when he walked to the rockery, from this point of view, this seems to be the rockery that he was "poisoned" when he drank alcohol and strayed into Biyue Tea House?

Mo Xiangsi's brows were furrowed tightly, as soon as the wine was strong, he was bold, he came so much today, and he went back in such a nest, it was too much to say, so he remembered the original incident again, and planned to find out, he dismissed the maid, and sure enough, no one came, Mo Xiangsi held the roast chicken in one hand, and walked along the rockery to the depths, between the twists and turns, Mo Xiangsi no longer remembered where the rockery was last time, and what was the shape, It's just that this time when I entered this stone forest-like wonder, I was also confused.

However, Mo Xiangsi's drunken confusion must be helped by God, this Qilin Array is the formation at the bottom of the box in the Stone Forest Array, and thanks to the strange people around the owner of Biyue Tea House, it took many years to recover, and Mo Xiangsi can find a different entrance every time.

Therefore, when Mo Xiangsi didn't see a deep cave like the last time, but finally stumbled out in it, there was such a scene in front of him, in front of him was a blue lake, and on the shore of the blue lake, on the other side of the blue water, it seemed that there had left Biyue Tea House, just another exquisite and elegant courtyard adjacent to it.

The moonlight softly covered the grass and trees in the garden with a hazy veil of snow, and in the center of the courtyard, on the soft collapse under the laurel tree, lay a figure quietly. (To be continued) R580
