Chapter 511: Conduct with Rules
"Squeak-" The locked door was opened. The blue girl walked in with a smile on her face, a little guilty between her eyebrows.
Carpenter Li said, "Say hello to the girl." Excuse me, can the Queen Mother give orders?"
Miss Lan hesitated for a moment, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she spoke:
"This Lingxiao Palace, there was an all-night rat plague yesterday, but the old queen mother was angry, saying, this is obviously the day when her heart and soul baby are going to get married, and this rat plague is clearly a bad sign. So, this early in the morning, all the palace maids in Lingxiao Palace have been dispatched to eliminate rat infestations everywhere, so ah, I don't care about the two of them, and the two of them are not lightly hungry, right?!"
"Oh, that's what happened!" Qingwen pretended to be a little scholar with a sense of relief, as if the attention of the big guys was on this mouse, so that she was not so nervous as an outsider.
In contrast, Carpenter Li is very owner-oriented, he said:
"No, in the past, wasn't there a legend here that there was a civet cat that no one could see? Wasn't it because of this raccoon cat, there was no rat plague in Lingxiao Palace?
The blue girl sighed and said, "Alas, the civet cat is a legend, but ah, this civet cat, although no one has ever seen its body, as long as there are days when its shadow haunts the Lingxiao Palace, there will be no rat plague here." This time, I'm afraid that something will offend the civet cat, right?!"
The little scholar dressed as Qingwen was shocked when she heard it, could it be because she and this civet cat met in a dream, and this civet cat did not achieve its goal and became angry with Lingxiao Palace, so that it connived at the appearance of mice, right?!"
When thinking like this, the expression on the little scholar's face was unnatural.
Fortunately, Miss Lan was worried, and Carpenter Li was about to satisfy his curiosity, and no one paid attention to the little scholar.
Miss Lan said: "The Queen Mother ordered that she should go to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple to pay homage today, so that she can go to the demonic spirit in this palace." β
When the little scholar dressed as Qingwen heard this, he was even more puzzled: "This rat plague is indeed a scourge, but if you want to talk about it as a demon, it should be the legend of the civet cat that bears the brunt, and the mouse can't take its turn yet." Could it be that the Queen Mother doesn't want to have this civet cat at all, even if it's a rat infestation?"
As a result of thinking like this, the little scholar dressed as Qingwen came to a conclusion: This queen mother, hates the civet cat more than the rat pest in the palace.
"So, today, we can't get the will of the Queen Mother?" It is not so much the joy on Carpenter Li's face as the displeasure on Carpenter Li's face.
"Master," Qingwen asked Carpenter Li in a whisper, dressed as a little scholar:
"Aren't we going to be able to rest for a day? Why aren't you upset?"
Carpenter Li turned his head and glared at the little scholar, and then he turned his head back again, smiled at Miss Lan and said, "It's okay, it's okay, then we'll wait here for the Queen Mother to come back and give instructions." β
Miss Lan was a transparent person, and she could see at once where the knot in Carpenter Li's heart was, and she hurriedly stepped forward, took out a piece of silver, and said:
"Master Li, this is the deposit for the Queen Mother to repair the utensils, please take it. β
"Gotcha. Carpenter Lee immediately changed from a wooden smirk to a naturally flowering laugh, and said:
"Thank you Queen Mother, thank you Miss Lan. β
Carpenter Li turned back and said to the little scholar in a reprimanding tone:
"Don't thank Miss Lan quickly, if it weren't for Miss Lan's careful and thoughtful heart, our master and apprentice would have to eat the northwest wind for a few days. β
Qingwen pretended to be a little scholar who saw that his master had some opinions about his neglect, so he said:
"The little scholar has thanked Miss Lan here and thanked her for taking care of her. β
Miss Lan was a little annoyed with Carpenter Li at first, because the second half of what Carpenter Li said to his apprentice seemed to say: "If I don't send this money now, I will delay my efforts in Lingxiao Palace in vain, and I will be starved and end up with no one to help me." β
Carpenter Li said this really without consideration, which made the master of the house very embarrassed, as if he was saying that the master would not give food or work.
Miss Lan was about to get angry just now because of Carpenter Li's words, but behind the second half of Carpenter Li's angry sentence, there was a serious exhortation to her apprentice.
Compared with this carpenter Li, this apprentice seems to be much more reliable, steady, and speaks decently, and he is not as frizzy as the young people who came with Carpenter Li in previous years, don't mention those young people, when they see the girl, they can't walk, they are incoherent, their hearts are ape, and they can't even say a whole sentence face to face. Where is the little brother in front of him, who is gentle and quiet, and only speaks at a critical moment, and more importantly, once he speaks, he speaks appropriately and thoughtfully.
This little scholar made Miss Lan really look at her, so Miss Lan didn't want to pick her nose and eyes at Carpenter Li's ignorance anymore, so she really let him go.
Qingwen didn't feel anything, but Carpenter Li could see that this blue girl had a special affection for the little scholar, and when she had nothing to do, she peeked at this stinky boy.
Although Carpenter Li is middle-aged, his own girl is not small, but Carpenter Li has an insurmountable girl control because of a long-term mid-life crisis, originally, he is looking forward to this blue girl's compassion and care today is based on his contribution and operation to the carpentry of Lingxiao Palace over the years, but he didn't think that this little scholar has not done anything, he has won the favor of the blue girl, and it takes no effort to get it, and, it seems, the blue girl's good impression of the little scholar is far above that of Li Carpenter, looking at the little scholar's eyebrows and eyes are smiling, and with a little shynessγ This makes Carpenter Li even more intolerable.
After all, Carpenter Li is also such a big person, how can he taste the vinegar of his little apprentice? But things are always at a certain distance and different from people's judgments. Carpenter Li is really sour in his heart, with a gloomy and gloomy temper on his face, and he doesn't have a good temper, and all of this is caused by this newcomer who hasn't even touched the door.
Carpenter Li glared at the little scholar unabashedly, and retreated in a panic.
Carpenter Li said: "It's not early, don't wash up quickly, but let the blue girl laugh, I should say that there is no rule for my old Li family's inheritance, you hurry up and finish your own things, let's simply use some food, we have to have an early class." β
Well, there's a rule to it!
This carpenter Li looks like a master in front of the blue girl.
