Chapter XVI Honorarium
On the way back, at the intersection leading to Zhu Lou, a man in a gorgeous blue shirt with a short beard stood there, his eyebrows vaguely similar to Li Nianxian, and his face was sickly and a little pale. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Dad", Li Nianxian saw the man and shouted in a low voice.
Li Zhonghuai nodded, watched his daughter come over, reached out and took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, handed them to Li Nianxian, and said with pity: "Daddy is a mediocre person, he is not good at reading, and he has no talent for business, I can't help you in the past few years, but Daddy is here to say a word, no matter what you want to do Xian'er, I will support it, even if everyone in the world thinks you are not good, Dad is also on your side, my daughter Li Zhonghuai, no one wants to bully!" ”。
"Dad", Li Nianxian looked at the man in front of her, she had complained about him many times in her heart over the years.
Li Zhonghuai lives a very idle life, does not seek progress, does not need to study, and is also a hanger in business, and later had a serious illness, although cured, but fell a little sick, and he was always a little weak, and the head of the family was completely cut off from the relationship as far as he was concerned.
Since Li Nianxian began to take care of the family business, he has completely let go, wandering all day long, visiting green houses, drinking flowers and wine, and even learning from others to gamble money.
As a daughter, Li Nianxian naturally can't blame and scold anything, but in her heart, she has a sense of alienation from this father over the years.
However, hearing Li Zhonghuai's words and looking at his father's face, Li Nianxian suddenly felt that the man in front of him was familiar again, he was still the father who hugged him when he was a child, took her to the temple fair, watched the lanterns, carried her on his shoulders, and let her watch the play.
He hasn't changed.
Li Nianxian's eyes reddened slightly, smiled, and said, "Thank you, Dad...... You can use the money yourself, your daughter has enough to spend."
"That's different, this is my support for you", Li Zhonghuai handed the money to his daughter, looked into the distance, and whispered: "However, then again, if it really doesn't work, Xian'er must also know how to let go, there are many people on your Shanlong cousin's side."
Li Nianxian nodded and said: "Dad, I know, my daughter just wants to give it a try, and I always feel that I just give up, and I am unwilling, if they can really be better than me, then I am convinced, and I will never fight again."
As the father and daughter spoke, they walked along the path with flowers and trees on both sides until they parted at a fork.
Li Nianxian returned to the Vermilion Building, and as soon as she arrived at the front of the building, she heard a humming song from Xiaolian's room.
"Flee and scorch. The son is home, it is appropriate for his room to be home, and he is dying, and his Ye Zhenzhen, the son is home, and his family is ......".
Li Nianxian listened, walked straight over, pushed the door open with a bang, and said with a smile: "Xiaolian, what's the happy thing!" ”。
"Ahh Miss! ”。
Xiaolian was startled, her singing stopped, and she hid a box behind her in a panic.
"Huh? What is that? Take it and let me see? Li Nianxian glanced at it, stretched out his hand like a green onion, and ordered.
"Miss......", Xiaolian whispered to ask for mercy.
"Bring it!" , Li Nianxian curled her lips, revealing the majesty of the young lady on her face, and insisted.
Xiaolian lowered her head, so she had to hand over the box, Li Nianxian opened it and took a look, only to see that there were a few silver tickets inside, as well as a few ingots of silver, about a hundred taels or so.
"So much, your private money?" , Li Nianxian was taken aback and said curiously.
"Hmm...... and part of Zhao Jue, I received it."
Li Nianxian looked strange, looked at Xiaolian carefully, with an expression that she had never seen her before, and finally couldn't help but smile, and said: "You girl, you haven't married yet, so you want to oppress him, after the door, you still have to crush him?" ”。
Xiaolian blushed and said shyly, "Miss, I keep the money for him...... He is an orphan, he used to be very poor, and suddenly he saw so much money, it was easy to learn badly, and also, Xiaolian thought, when we get married, it will cost a lot of money, and after we get married, we may have to buy a house around, and we have to save money."
"Reasonable", Li Nianxian looked at Xiaolian with admiration, blinked her eyes, teased her: "Xiaolian still has to give birth to sons, give birth to daughters, give birth to a lot of Xiao Zhao and Xiao Xiaolian, this money must also be saved."
Xiaolian's red face was hot with shame, and she whispered, "Don't give birth to him...... I want one...... Two at most."
"I can't help you then."
Xiaolian bit her lip, and suddenly found that Li Nianxian's smile today was very bright, like a flower bud blooming, fragrant, and seemed to be extremely happy, this kind of smile was rarely seen, she couldn't help but ask curiously: "Miss, you are also very happy today, did you take a big business?" ”。
The charming smile on Li Nianxian's face converged, and a faint heroism appeared between her eyebrows, and a high-spirited emotion flowed in her clear eyes.
"Grandpa gave me a chance."
Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, scratching her head in confusion, and for a moment, a terrifying light shot out of her eyes, her cherry-like lips opened to the size of an egg, and then she quickly covered it with her hand, not letting herself scream.
After taking a few deep breaths, Xiaolian tried to lower her voice and said, "Miss is saying that the master has allowed you to compete for the head of the family?" ”。
"Well, the specific plan will come out in a while, and I can also participate in a business competition to determine the next head of the house."
"Great! Miss, your hard work has not been in vain! Xiaolian's eyes were shining, and she looked at her young lady excitedly and adoringly.
From childhood to adulthood, Li Nianxian has been so good, and now, in the era of men in charge, Miss can actually win the qualification for competition! This is not easy than a scholar to gain fame!
Li Nianxian was also very happy in his heart, but he suppressed a smile on his face, and said lightly: "It's too early to say this, if I can't win this competition, the industry under my name still has to be handed over."
Glancing at the excited Xiaolian, Li Nianxian pondered for a moment, took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels from his body, put it in the box, and handed it back.
"Miss...... What are you doing here? Xiaolian was surprised to see Li Nianxian put the large denomination silver ticket of five hundred taels into the box, and was startled, this is five hundred taels of silver, she can't earn it for three or four years!
"Rewarded", Li Nianxian smiled slightly.
Xiaolian was so moved that she almost cried, and said gratefully: "Miss, although Xiaolian is working very hard with you, the salary that Li Fu has given me is already a lot more than that of other stewards, Miss's kindness, Xiaolian has all remembered it in her heart, so much money, Xiaolian is not worthy."
Li Nianxian glared at her and said unhappily: "Did I say I rewarded you?" ”。
"Huh!? Not for me? Xiaolian's excited face was stunned.
"This is for Zhao Jie, if it weren't for his story, maybe, I would have given up, I wouldn't have gotten this opportunity at all, these five hundred taels are his honorarium for that story."
Xiaolian opened her mouth, looking horrified, she didn't know what to say for a while, she was stunned for a while, and then whispered: "Is his story so important?" ”。
Li Nianxian nodded and said: "As the old saying goes, listening to your words is better than reading for ten years, I did get this opportunity because of his story, this story is extremely important to me, and even, I think this story can change my path in the next three years, five years or even ten years."
"In short, he's amazing."
"I gave him the five hundred taels of silver...... However, even if you give it to him, you will be scavenged by you, so just let you here, Xiaolian, I want to tell you that as a husband and wife, you should support each other and respect each other, you can't bully him, you know? ”。
Xiaolian blushed and nodded, muttering: "This is his own volition, so I didn't bully him", but she didn't dare to say Zhao Jue's condition of being trivial.
Li Nianxian was in a bright mood, and said a few more words to Xiaolian before turning around and going upstairs.
After the young lady left, Xiaolian was stunned to think about Li Nianxian's evaluation of Zhao Jie, and she was both jealous and happy in her heart.
Her chest was warm, as if she had drunk wine, and her face became more and more ruddy and coquettish.
"He's amazing...... It turns out that Xianggong is such a person in the eyes of Miss! Looking down at the silver ticket in the box, five hundred taels, such a large denomination, is just a gratuity for a story.
"Why don't I go over at night and let Zhao Jue tell me a few stories to listen to, maybe I will be inspired by this, and I can also run from time to time and hand in good luck!"
