Chapter 120: Girlish Love
Daotai House, backyard.
Alice and Gu Yili have been transferred out of the study, and they no longer organize documents and clean the study for Li Zhen. With nothing to do, the two immediately became idlers, living in the backyard all day long, unable to leave the house, and no one chatting, so they were idle.
Although it was the end of January, it was still cold and windy.
Alice and Gu Yili sat in the courtyard in thick cotton jackets, their faces a little lonely.
Gu Yili looked depressed and said, "Sister, we are in the yard all day, and it is difficult to get out of the yard, if we continue like this, I will be suffocated to death." Sister, what should we do? ”
Alice said, "Don't worry, the general will arrange things for us soon." ”
Having said that, Alice was not sure.
After all, the two have nothing to do with Li Zhen.
Besides, Li Zhen was busy with affairs, and Alice did not have the slightest confidence. Gu Yili's big eyes blinked, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, and she said: "It's not a way to go on like this, especially since the general is too busy and dizzy, and if he throws us out of the clouds, it is even more impossible for us to have something to do." Sister, simply find someone to inform the general, ask him to come and sit in the courtyard, and ask about the situation. ”
Alice stared at Gu Yili and smiled, as if she had seen through Gu Yili's intentions.
"Sister, is it okay?"
A blush rose on Gu Yili's face and asked in a low voice.
Alice took a deep breath and said, "Your suggestion is very good, I'll ask the general to come here." Whether the general is coming or not, we have to ask, at least make an impression in the general's mind, so that he knows that there is still us. ”
With a bright smile on her face, Gu Yili stood up and ran as fast as she could, like a happy bird, and told the attendant standing outside the courtyard to ask the attendant to inform Li Zhen.
The attendant left, and when Gu Yili returned to the house, he asked, "Sister, will the general come?" ”
"It's going to come."
Alice nodded affirmatively, but sighed slightly in her heart.
Alice and Gu Yili are both girls of the same age, Gu Yili is innocent, but Alice is precocious, and she can see Gu Yili's thoughts at a glance. Alice didn't have hope, because Li Zhen was the person who both Ali Guo and Aitang wanted to please, and he would definitely have a bright future. Alice also knew that Chinese men had three wives and four concubines, so she was even less optimistic about Gu Yili.
On top of that, Alice found out that there was a woman in the house who was Li Zhen's wife.
As a result, Alice could only sigh in her heart.
The two women sat quietly and chatted with each other, and the topic was more about Li Zhen.
Time passed gradually, and soon half an hour passed. The expectant Gu Yili had already shown a slightly disappointed look, but Alice was not surprised. Gu Yili sighed and said, "Sister, let's go inside, it's a little cold outside." ”
Alice hummed and got up and walked towards the bedroom.
The two of them were in front and behind, but Gu Yili turned back three times and looked at the situation outside the courtyard from time to time. When Alice entered the house, she saw that Gu Yili was still standing in the doorway, and said, "Gu Yili, come into the house, and don't stand outside." ”
"Wait a little longer!"
Gu Yili spoke, pricking up her ears to listen to the movement outside the courtyard.
Alice shook her head, looking lonely.
Suddenly, there was the sound of steady footsteps outside the courtyard. Gu Yili's face showed joy, her thin eyebrows flashed, and her eyes showed joy, and she quickly turned around and ran to the gate of the courtyard, waiting quietly. Alice also walked out of the house with her, and stood at the gate of the courtyard to greet her.
After a while, Li Zhen came to the gate of the courtyard.
Li Zhen saw the two twin beauties standing at the gate of the courtyard, their faces flushed, and their eyes suddenly lit up.
Beautiful scenery!
Li Zhen sighed in his heart, but said seriously: "Let's go, let's go into the courtyard." ”
After finishing speaking, Li Zhen walked straight towards the courtyard. Gu Yili saw Li Zhen walking to the stone table in the courtyard, and immediately said, "General, it's windy outside, it's warm inside, go and talk inside." ”
Alice rolled her eyes, this sister was really hopeless.
Li Zhen smiled: "Okay, let's go into the house and talk." ”
A group of three, Li Zhen walked in the front.
After Li Zhen entered the room, he was greeted by a faint aroma, which was very comfortable.
Li Zhen glanced at the situation in the room again, and saw that the room was simply and properly arranged, generous and elegant, and his heart was even more satisfied. However, this is clearly Alice's handiwork. After Li Zhen sat down, he asked with a smile: "After I entered the house, I smelled a faint fragrance, which seemed to be lavender, did you make it?" ”
Gu Yili preemptively said: "This is the fragrance of lavender juice, I didn't expect the general to be so knowledgeable." ”
Li Zhen asked again: "There is no lavender now." ”
Gu Yili said: "General, this is when we were in England, we squeezed out the lavender juice, put it in a small bottle, and brought it to Shanghai ourselves. A lot of people do this, and if the general likes it, you can give a little to the general. ”
Li Zhen waved his hand and said, "No need, it's useless for me to take it." ”
Gu Yili groaned, a look of disappointment.
Li Zhen turned his gaze to Alice and asked, "Alice, you came to me, is there anything wrong?" ”
Alice gritted her teeth and said, "General, Gu Yili and I don't work in the study now, we stay in the courtyard all day, we are bored, and we want to find something to do. At the beginning, the general also said that he would arrange things for us, but I don't know what the general's plan is? ”
Li Zhen smiled: "I've already thought about it, let's do business." ”
"Doing business?"
Alice exclaimed, looking surprised, and said, "General, Alice and I have never been in contact with business. If you do some chores and do small things, you can barely do it. But it takes a lot of money to do business, and we don't have any experience, so how can we do it? General, if you let our sisters engage in business, we will definitely lose money and not make money, so you should think about it carefully. ”
Gu Yili also nodded, agreeing with Alice's statement.
Li Zhen said: "The ...... of doing business"
As soon as he began to speak, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the courtyard, and an attendant ran in.
The attendant hurriedly went directly into the bedroom, ran to Li Zhen's side, and whispered a few words in his ear. When Li Zhen heard this, he waved his hand to let the attendant retreat, and said, "Your business is business, and I have already decided." Now I have some business to attend to, and I'll tell you when I get back. ”
"General go slowly!"
Alice stood up and spoke softly.
Although Alice has some regrets, she is also happy in her heart, at least she knows that there is something to do. Gu Yili looked at Li Zhen's departing back, and said faintly: "Sister, the general is so busy every day, he doesn't have time to sit in our yard for a while, will he be tired." ”
"Nymphomaniac!"
Alice reached out and tapped Gu Yili's forehead and said, "The general asked us to do business, we can't mess it up, otherwise we will be trapped in the courtyard in the future." Don't think about your generals, think about how to do things well. ”
"Sister!"
Gu Yili snorted and glanced at Alice.
The two sisters watched Li Zhen leave, closed the door, and whispered and laughed in the room.
