Chapter 17 Blue and White Dock
"That's the thing, that's it, the two cousin young masters have gone back, and the third young master has also gone to the West Courtyard, and there is no anger on his face. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Shuang'er was standing in the room, Liu Sihan was combing Li Cai'er's long hair, and through the bronze mirror in front of her, she could see Li Cai'er's face with anger.
"It must be Liu Honglei who drank too much, he is the kind of character, if he is a little unsatisfactory, he will do it, he is still impulsive when he is so big, but with Hong Tao here, he will not make too much trouble, you can rest assured." Listening to the cold tone of the woman behind her, Li Cai'er turned her head to look at her in her heart, didn't speak for a long time, glared at Shuang'er, and then the maid retreated and closed the door.
"What does sister mean by this, although he is a concubine, but in the end he is the son of his father, and it is too much for the two cousins to do this." Li Cai'er was also angry, thinking that Li Huai didn't attend last night, and she really lost her sense of proportion, but everything that happened now made her unable to calm down.
Liu Sihan looked at the other party's angry appearance, but a smile appeared on his face, his hands were comforted on her shoulders, and he bent down slightly, "Silly sister, are you still angry?" I'll ask them to compensate you again, and I'll go to the West Courtyard to see that person, isn't it. Seeing that Li Caier's anger had subsided for the most part, she turned the other party around and continued to comb her hair.
"The two brothers in the second room can be regarded as helping you, I think my uncle won't say anything even if he knows about it." Li Sihan said that he had already coiled up Li Caier's hair, the two of them have known each other since childhood, and she is a few years older, so she likes to comb this sister's hair very much, "He is a concubine, and if he is beaten, who can say anything, what you should care about is your uncle, it is the eldest brother, they are the face of the Li family, do you understand?" ā
Li Cai'er listened, after all, she didn't say anything, she already knew these truths, but now she heard it in her ears, it was still a little harsh.
And at this time in the west courtyard, Yue'er was slashing on the stake in the backyard, this is where she practices martial arts on weekdays, but today's moves are obviously just simply venting anger, Li Huai is sitting on a rattan chair not far away, has changed into a clean clothes, Cui Ping on the side has red eyes, wiping her cheeks with ice water, "It's all my fault, I caused trouble for the young master." ā
"Where? Isn't it just a slap in the face? Not yet, not yet. Li Huai comforted the other party, and shouted to Yue'er, who was slashing with a knife in the distance, "If you look at it a few more times, that stake will become a firewood stick." ā
"Why doesn't the young master fight back, the two of them ......" Yue'er looked at Li Huai unconvinced, she naturally knew that although her son-in-law was a lot of masters, it was more than enough to beat those two drunkards.
"What stupid things to say, they are guests, how can the host beat the guests."
"Then there are no guests to beat the host!"
"Okay, I'm not angry yet, you're just angry like this?" Li Huai smiled and motioned for her to sit down, "I've had too many things in the past two days, after all, they are family members, if they really make trouble, everyone's faces won't look good." ā
Seeing that Yue'er was still angry, he whispered a few words beside her, but it made the other party's anger disappear, "Okay, don't run around in the past two days, and don't make trouble." ā
Yue'er stuck out her tongue, "I know, I listen to my son." ā
Coaxed the small one, Li Huaicai looked at Cuiping on the side again, "You can be with Miss Yang for the past two days, don't be afraid, everything has me, I don't blame you for this time, don't be sad......" After talking for a long time, it was only after Cuiping let go of his worries, and at this moment, Yang Zhi and Yang Yunying had already walked over.
"The hour is almost up."
Li Huai then got into the carriage parked by Yang Zhi at the back door with the support of Cuiping and Yue'er, and when the carriage went away, Yang Yunying and Cuiping went back to the West Courtyard together, in the afternoon, Li Sihan took his two younger brothers to apologize, but found that Li Huai was not at home, Li Sihan also deliberately found Cuiping and said a few kind words, Liu Hongtao also forced his younger brother to compensate her, which made Cuiping frightened, and the matter could be regarded as a happy result.
When Li Huai came back in the evening, the two sides deliberately chatted at the dinner table for a long time, looking like they were relieved of their previous suspicions, but Liu Honglei's tone was faintly unhappy, and his eyes often drifted to Cuiping behind Li Huai, and the two sides only looked like they hadn't seen each other.
"Big brother, big sister, what are you doing, are you obviously embarrassing us!" After dinner, Liu Honglei and Liu Hongtao went out in the carriage early, and on the carriage, Liu Honglei said loudly the dissatisfaction in his heart, "What is he, a wild seed from the countryside, he was beaten, and his uncle didn't say anything, she came out to pretend to be a good person!" ā
"Okay, just complain here, just do it later, my father has contacted a lot of people in private this time, and I must settle the matter before the uncle and the eldest sister react, with such a dividend, coupled with the cooperation of the third room, the Liu family in the future will not be the eldest sister alone."
Liu Hongtao said, his face also showed a trace of excitement, Liu Honglei on the side was even more imperative, the carriage soon arrived at the river, there were several flower boats docked on the river, although there were large and small, but the decoration was gorgeous and extraordinary, and from time to time there were women's laughter floating from the river.
"Boatman, go to Qinghuawu." The two men got out of the carriage, got into the small boat parked on the shore, and headed for the big boat in the center of the river.
"Why are you here?" In the distance, someone shouted towards the Liu brothers in the boat, "Just wait for you two, come up quickly." ā
There have already been a lot of people on the ship, all of them are a literati and ink writers, and the women around them are even more good, several women say something to the son next to them from time to time, or laugh or arrogant, or ashamed or noisy are very measured, and the dock is very lively.
The brothers of the Liu family got on the boat, several people bowed their hands, greeted and condoled, and waited until everyone sat down, and a handsome scribe at the head slowly spoke, "Things, we have been discussing back and forth for several days, the people in the south have begun to move, we also have to speed up the action here, the Zhao family, the Sun family and the Wu family have agreed to collect another three percent, and now there is only your Liu family left, if you can also collect three percent more, I strictly guarantee that this year's profits will at least quadruple." As soon as the words fell, everyone nodded, and their eyes fell on the last two people seated, they were naturally Liu Hongtao and Liu Honglei.
Liu Honglei looked at the eldest brother next to him, and charged an extra three percent, which was tens of thousands of taels of silver, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart, and then looked at Liu Hongtao pondering for a while, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and said to Yan Fan in the distance, "In this case, my Liu family should advance and retreat with Yan Gongzi and everyone." After saying that, he drank it all, and there was a burst of applause in the dock.
Yan Fan nodded to the other party, and also toasted with everyone, when things came to this point, he had no worries, looking at the gorgeous night reflected on the river outside the dock, his heart was much lighter, but he felt that the wine in his hand was getting weaker and weaker, and he picked up the woman next to him and walked towards the second floor of the dock.
