Chapter 19: A Simple and Simple Life

The twelfth year of Deyang, March 8. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The monks of the sound temple outside the city rang the morning bell, and the bell was ethereal and quiet, passing through the sky above Huaning City and scattering into thousands of households.

Inside the Li Mansion, it became noisy.

Next to the house near the head of the family, Li Qian, is the courtyard of the eldest Li Zhongwen, who is wearing a coat inlaid with rich purple pines, instructing his son in the courtyard.

Li Shanlong's expression was excited, his heart was arrogant, and after listening to his father's words, he said impatiently: "Dad, don't worry, I have the four old stewards of Qin, Du, Wang and Chen to help, not to mention her Li Nianxian, even if my grandfather personally took action, the chance of winning me is only two or three percent, the ability of these four uncles, you still don't know?" ”。

Li Zhongwen was interrupted by his son and frowned, but thinking of the skills of Qin Lao and others, he was secretly excited in his heart, so he glared at Li Shanlong and said: "You, you are so big, this opportunity is rare, you must learn from those few people, and you will become the head of the family in the future, you can't always rely on the strength of others, you must also have an idea."

"I know, several stewards are waiting for me outside, I'll go", Li Shanlong said, and strode away directly.

Looking at his son's high-spirited appearance, Li Zhongwen was also infected, and stood in the courtyard for a while, clearing his throat and babbling and humming the drama.

Vermilion building.

Li Nianxian wore a green shirt, the earrings on her white earlobes had been removed, and the hosta inserted in her jet-black hair had also gone, and she was only held with a green rope.

Her whole person changed from soft and gentle, her expression was solemn, and she became depressed and heroic.

Xiaofeng Xiaoyu and Xiaolian followed her, Xiaolian was also dressed more clean and hearty today, the blue green jacket was finally replaced by a delicate narrow-sleeved short coat, and a pale yellow long skirt was worn underneath, cute and beautiful, and there was a sense of superiority and elite.

In front of the Zhu Building, there were five young stewards such as Zhao Jue.

Hearing Li Nianxian and Xiaolian Xiaofeng Xiaoyu going downstairs, the other four hurriedly bent down to say hello, lowering their heads and not daring to look, for fear of blaspheming Miss.

Only Zhao Jue couldn't wait to stare out his eyes, staring at Xiaolian's graceful and delicate figure, the light in his eyes was shining, and he looked like he was about to drool.

Xiaolian's face was crimson when he saw it, she was anxious and ashamed, and glared at her fiercely, her eyes surging with threat.

Zhao Jue was afraid of her, puffed up his chest, looked up and down generously, and looked directly at Xiaolian's several key positions.

After Xiaolian walked a few steps, she always felt extremely awkward, she couldn't even walk well, she staggered, and she didn't know which leg to take.

"Are you all ready?" , Li Nianxian's voice was faint and came over.

"Miss, don't worry, we will do our best!" , The four young stewards looked solemn, and each one was extremely excited in their hearts, and said loudly.

Li Nianxian's gaze fell on Zhao Zhu, Zhao Yu withdrew his eyes from looking at Xiaolian, smiled at the corner of his mouth, nodded slightly, and said, "What do you want from Miss?" ”。

Li Nianxian pondered for a moment and said softly: "This competition is very important to me, you have just become a steward, the time is too short, and your ability may be insufficient, I will send you to the township outside the city to take charge of the five tea shops, don't think too much, I still trust you very much."

Zhao Jue smiled calmly, thanks welled up on his face, and said, "Miss doesn't have to care about me, Zhao Ju is not a big person, how can I treat me like this...... Besides, the tea shops in the township may not be worse than those in the city, so let me be in charge of five at once, which makes Zhao Yu feel terrified."

Li Nianxian nodded, and then explained again the plan she had drawn up after several times of repeated deduction yesterday, and several people said that they had kept it in mind before they came out of the house.

Outside the Li Mansion, Li Shanlong and the others were just about to set off, and when they saw Li Nianxian and a few young stewards behind her, the people over there laughed.

Li Shanlong's eyes were full of color, he straightened his chest slightly, tidied up the placket on his chest, and walked over surrounded by Qin Lao, Du Lao and others.

"Nian Xian girl, these are the talents you promoted, right? Well, it's not bad, they're all quite energetic", Li Shanlong's eyes swept over several young stewards, and suddenly the four stewards all lowered their heads.

He looked at the four people who bowed their heads with satisfaction, and his eyes moved to Zhao Jue's face.

Zhao Jue arched his hand and said, "Young master is good."

"Huh?" , Li Shanlong's smile froze, and he was stunned for a moment, the four of them were all stared at by him, fully demonstrating his aura, but Zhao Yu didn't seem to feel anything under his gaze, and even when he gave his hand, the expression on his face was very indifferent.

"What's your name?" , Li Shanlong's tone cooled slightly.

"Zhao Zhu".

"Zhao Xu?" , Li Shanlong frowned, and said unhappily: "I haven't heard of it, you're new here, right?" ”。

"It's been almost two months".

Qin Lao said coldly: "How about two months?" That's also a newcomer, the young master asked you, and you said yes, don't talk nonsense! ”。

Zhao Yu glanced at Qin Lao, looked at the dense wrinkles on his forehead, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and said lightly: "This old man, everyone is a subordinate of the Li Mansion, why bother with such a tone, you are in charge, I am also in charge, and I can't train you in turn, right?" ”。

"You!" , Qin Lao's eyes suddenly widened, and he was angry, he has been in the Li Mansion for many years, and he has worked hard and has become the core figure of the Li Mansion, even if the head of the family, Li Qian, has to give him some face, but now he is called a brother by a hairy boy!?

"Shaft, at my age, it's enough to be your grandfather! Teach you how! The old man has this qualification! Qin Lao shouted angrily.

"That's a bit of a shame, isn't it? When is old age a sign of qualification? According to you, are you going to call the turtle grandpa? Tsk, turtle grandson...... It's kind of ugly."

"I, I...... Call... Call... I'll beat you to death! Qin Lao was so angry that he gasped, his old face was red and black, his dry hand couldn't help but tremble, and finally raised his hand to hit someone.

"Hehe, you can't beat me!" , Zhao Yu sneered and looked at the other party, as long as this old man dared to make a move, he was ready to give this old guy an over-the-shoulder fall.

"Enough! Nian Xian girl, how did you teach people, Qin Lao is the hero of our Li family, it was they who helped Grandpa work hard back then, so that our Li family has the current scale, this kid, do you want to teach a good lesson!? Li Shanlong stopped Qin Lao and pressured Li Nianxian.

Li Nianxian was unmoved, looked at the stewards behind Li Shanlong, and said lightly: "What does Cousin Shanlong mean by this?" Could it be that your stewards are all heroes, and my people are worthless? I don't think Zhao Yi said the wrong thing, why did he punish him? ”。

Seeing that the two sides did not give in to each other, they confronted each other at the gate of the Li Mansion, Du Lao, Wang Lao and the others frowned, stepped forward, and whispered a few words of persuasion in Li Shanlong's ear.

Li Shanlong listened, looked at the sky, and saw that the time was not early, so he snorted coldly, glanced at Li Nianxian, and turned around and got into the carriage.

Old Qin also left under the persuasion of everyone, but the old man's anger was not gone, and when he pedaled the car, he didn't forget to turn around and stare at Zhao Yu fiercely, and shouted coldly: "Boy, you wait for me, after this competition, the old man wants to see who else can support you!" ”。

Everyone got into the carriage, and the coachman raised his whip high, and made a loud thrash in mid-air, snapping, and galloped in front of Li Nianxian arrogantly.

"Dog minion, what is arrogant!" , The carriage passed, and Xiaolian gritted her silver teeth angrily and scolded.

Li Nianxian looked back at Zhao Yi beside him, and saw that he was still indifferent, still looking calm and stable, and couldn't help but have a strange feeling in his heart, only to feel that this man was a little different from others.

"Da da da".

A carriage came from the other side, and Li Zhong grabbed the reins of the horse, stopped in front of the mansion, and jumped down to say hello.

Li Nianxian nodded, and said to Zhao Qi: "Li Zhong is quite familiar with the situation in those towns, so let him take you there."

Zhao Jue nodded and said, "No opinion."

Li Zhong jumped into the carriage again, and when he turned around, he saw that Zhao Yu was still standing there. Li Nianxian and the others were also very surprised, and looked at Zhao Yu suspiciously.

Zhao Yu suddenly smiled and said in a low voice, "Miss, I want to say a few words to Xiaolian alone."

Li Nianxian came to her senses at this time, a smile appeared on her face, she glanced at Xiaolian playfully, and said, "What's so good about this girl?" Fifteen days apart, this is reluctant? Go, go, we're waiting here".

Zhao Jue took Xiaolian's hand and walked towards the woods on the side of the Li Mansion, while Xiaolian blushed and wanted to break free, but couldn't.

When they arrived in the woods, Zhao Yu let go of her, and the two stood opposite each other, Xiaolian's whole face became more and more red, she didn't dare to raise her head, and whispered angrily: "What do you want to say that you can't say outside?" It's mysterious, and it's embarrassing."

Zhao Jue suddenly stretched out her hand, lifted her snow-white chin, couldn't help but say, kissed it domineeringly, Xiaolian exclaimed, but before she could scream, she was tightly blocked by Zhao Jie's mouth.

Outside the woods, Li Nianxian was solemnly explaining some things to Li Zhong: "Zhao Zhu, this person, his personality is too honest, he doesn't know how to be flexible in some things, and he may be a little pedantic, if you encounter a situation below, you have to help him, don't let him suffer, scholar, his thoughts are too simple......."

Li Zhong nodded and said yes again and again.
