Chapter 31: The Narrow Road (I)

"Hehe..."

Yang Li laughed dryly, this is a matter of personal philosophy, it is not fast or unhappy, and there is no damage to the relationship between the two of them.

The dishes were served separately, and several big men who had demonstrated their "peerless skills" all day were arranged to eat and drink in another room.

The paper kite didn't come back after leaving, and the table was full of steaming meals in front of him, and where Yang Li sat alone, the scene seemed a little lonely and lonely.

Zhou came to the dining room when the food was almost cold, and she had a scarf printed with broken flowers around her waist, and a striking grease stain on it, like a housewife who did her duty.

"Why don't you eat it? The old lady has been busy all afternoon, and you still dislike it? ”

Zhou came to the table, took a bowl and gave Yang Li a bowl by the way, and then untied his waist and sat down, puffing out as if he had suffered a lot of grievances: "I didn't give a few copper plates for the treatment money, and I brought so many people to eat, hum... I see that the lights on the east side of the room are lit, and it seems that Lai will not leave our house for a while...

Li'er, if you can't pull your face, tomorrow my mother will go to Na Su Gongzi and say that you can live as long as you want, but you must pay the food money..."

Xu is really busy all day, Zhou is really hungry, chopsticks are flying on the table, stuffed with mouthfuls of food, and even his voice is a little slurred.

"Hehe..."

Yang Li turned his head to look at the dignified and skillful old lady of a big family at all, smiled, and said: "Mother, don't do what you don't want, don't do to others, think about how we came over in the Bai family, since you are not that kind of person, why do you have to make yourself such a person?"

From today on, you just need to be yourself, the sky is falling, and there are children to support you..."

If you are not like that, why do you have to make yourself that kind of person?

Someone like that!

To put it bluntly, it is a small citizen who is covered with thorns, will scold people on the street for a few hours because of the price difference of a copper plate, will fight with people because of a little cheapness, and will whitewash himself as an extremely strong citizen on the outside because of covering up his inner humility and cowardice......

Of course, the term "small citizen" has not yet appeared in the Ming Dynasty.

However, this did not affect the communication between their mother and son in the slightest.

In a thousand words, in fact, the words 'such a person' are enough, and there is no need to deliberately explain anything.

Zhou stopped chopping rice, as if Yang Li's words had the effect of fixing her body, and her whole person was sluggish.

The sluggishness lasted a little longer, about ten breaths long, and the sound of chopsticks hitting the rim of the bowl was heard in the room.

It seems that Zhou is hiding some emotions that she doesn't want Yang Li to see, her eyes are still looking straight at the rice in the bowl, and her tone is a little sighing: "Li'er, everyone will change, my mother thinks that such a person is very good, at least she will not be bullied everywhere...

In the past six months with you, my mother has learned a lot of things that I didn't know before.

If my mother was like this before, at least our mother and son would not be kicked out of the Yang family in Hangzhou, if my mother was like this before, the people of the Bai family... Forget it, don't mention the Bai family, no matter what, people have taken in our mother and son, no matter what they do to us, but we can't be ungrateful white-eyed wolves...

Dine... Eat..."

The topic provoked by Yang Li seemed to be too heavy, and the Zhou family didn't say anything about Su Zhi taking so many people to eat and live here for nothing, just kept chopping up the rice with his head bored.

……

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the next morning.

Due to the fact that this body was still very weak, Yang Li only walked around his yard for a while after washing, and did not dare to do any strenuous exercise.

When I got home, I had already made three strokes a day, and the 'masters' brought by Su Zhi in the yard were practicing the exercise of lifting boulders.

Seeing that they were sweating profusely one by one, Yang Li thought that he would have to use a lot of his own water later, and he didn't know if the old lady would still be as careful as yesterday after reflecting on this night.

If it was still like yesterday, I guess my ears would be indispensable to her nagging.

But fortunately, when Yang Li came to the backyard, he had already heard Zhou Shi talking with great joy: "Iris, how do you teach the aunt how to use this thing?" ”

Zhou's voice just stopped, and I heard the paper kite say happily: "Madam, this is a pedal loom, the paper kite has also occasionally seen someone use it a few times, and it has not been operated personally, if the eldest lady really plans to learn, go back to the paper kite to find a master for you to come to teach in person......"

"Learn, definitely have to learn!"

Zhou's looked like he was gearing up around a wooden shelf loom: "Li'er is still young, our family can't look at this little money, the eldest mother wants to make money, by the way, Iris, you are on an errand in the Su Mansion, if you look back at the Su family if you have any place to find the eldest lady to work for, you can't fatten the water flow into the fields of outsiders..."

"Madame..."

The paper kite was embarrassed when he heard it: "I am a subordinate, and the work introduced is also done by the subordinate, your status is noble, how can you let you show up to do these things, if you let Doctor Yang know about it, you will definitely have to blame the paper kite...

If Madame feels that money is tight, I will go back and tell my young master, and ask the young master to beg the master to arrange a good errand for Doctor Yang, no matter what, I can't let you do these things in an unannounced way..."

"If he dares to find an errand to do, the eldest lady will break his legs... What's wrong with showing up? Emperor Taizu said it himself, today in our Ming Dynasty, Queen Ma still has half of the credit, and Queen Ma didn't show up when she followed Emperor Taizu to fight the world! ”

Zhou craned his neck and snorted: "At Li'er's age, you should focus on your studies, the eldest mother has already inquired, the most famous official schools in Fuzhou Mansion are the three most famous, such as Yulong Academy, Jinghong Academy and Yueqiong Academy, if Master Su really wants to help Li'er, I can get a place in these three families, and my aunt will thank Master Su for his great kindness in my heart..."

The paper kite secretly took Zhou's words to heart.

When I turned around, I happened to see Yang Li who came back from a walk outside, and the paper kite was busy getting up from the position of the loom: "Doctor Yang, are you back, are you hungry?" Paper Kite, I'm going to prepare breakfast for you..."

Saying that, there was no need for Yang Li to say anything at all, the paper kite had already gone to the kitchen in a hurry.

Seeing this scene, even the Zhou family couldn't help but glance at the back of the paper kite leaving, and sighed: "This girl is ingenious, diligent and sensible, very good, no wonder she can be Su Gongzi's personal maid, but it is more than a hundred times better than those subordinates of our Hangzhou Yang family, and even my mother likes it..."
