"Daddy!" Li Jingyao's face turned pale with fright, and she shook her head slightly beggingly.

Li Zhixuan's heart jumped, and he was full of anger. "What do you mean by that? Why don't you blame you? ”

Li Jingshan sneered slightly, but did not answer his words, and directly blessed the third uncle, and said: "Sage Kong said that there is no class in teaching. But after his father went, even his younger brother was expelled from the Li Academy. But where do you learn this rule? He also asked the third uncle to administer justice for our long house, and allowed Jing Jue to return to the academy, read the poetry of the saints, and learn the rules of etiquette, so as not to fall into the reputation of the Li family's children. ”

"Didn't Li Jingjue study at the academy?" The third uncle looked at Li Zhixuan.

"Yes...... It was the other disciples who said that after he was a criminal minister, he was not, unworthy ......" Li Zhixuan hurriedly cleared himself.

As the head of a family, the third uncle has long been proficient in the world and immediately understands the reason. He glared at Li Zhixuan, lowered his face and reprimanded: "Since the clan allowed Li Zhiyuan's spiritual position to enter the ancestral hall, it means that he is not guilty of being able to succeed in the future. Li Jingjue is a descendant of the Li family, what is not worthy? ”

Li Zhixuan lowered his head to wipe his sweat, and Nuo Nuo said yes.

The third uncle said to Li Jingshan: "You let Li Jingjue go back to study tomorrow, just say what I said." ”

Mrs. Li and Li Jingshan were pleasantly surprised, and bowed down to thank them. Li Jingshan got cheap and behaved, "Thank you to the third uncle for saving the emergency and the poor." Let's vacate the old house today! ”

Obviously, the silver was from Li Zhixuan, but Li Jingshan only looked at him without looking at him, and after saluting the third uncle, she exited the lobby and left.

Li Zhixuan looked at the back of the mother and daughter, and was gritting his back molars with hatred. But he heard the third uncle call him in a deep voice, "Zhixuan, you have already got what you want." For the rest, be forgiving and forgiving. ”

Li Zhixuan hurriedly bowed his head and said yes, but he was even more jealous in his heart, and made another note.

------

Li Jingshan's mother and daughter came out with the ten taels of silver tickets, and Mrs. Li thought about going to the house shop to inquire about the rental situation. Li Jingshan asked her mother to go back and pack her things first, and then she would think of a way by herself. She broke up with her mother and turned around and walked towards the Ruan family's courtyard.

Behind the kitchen of the Ruan family, there are two firewood rooms, which are now almost empty. Li Jingshan started the idea of the firewood house, if she could move in there, the rent of ten taels of silver might be able to last for two more months.

It's just that...... I'm afraid that Fu Bo won't be able to be the master of this matter, so I have to find the young master Ruan who has never met.

She thought of countermeasures as she walked, and she didn't even notice that someone was catching up behind her.

“…… Miss Li, Jing Shan! ”

Li Jingshan turned around and saw that it was Li Zhang chasing after her. She watched him pant slightly and stood still in front of her, and smiled and handed his handkerchief over to wipe his sweat, "Brother Li Zhang, thank you for your help today." Otherwise, our family doesn't know how to be bullied. ”

Li Zhang shook his head and asked, "Are you going to rent a house?" I'll go with you. ”

"No, I want to try my luck at the Ruan family's courtyard." Li Jingshan shook her head, "I'll go to Young Master Ruan and ask for it, if I can rent it there, I can take care of it." ”

Li Zhang was silent for a moment and said, "I'll accompany you, if the negotiation is completed, I can also help you move the things over." He saw that Li Jingshan was about to open his mouth to refuse, and hurriedly said: "I won't go in, just wait for you at the door." ”

Li Jingshan had no time to explore the deep shadow in Li Zhang's eyes, and her mind was full of thinking about how to negotiate with Young Master Ruan later, so she just smiled and nodded, "Thank you very much." ”

When she arrived at the courtyard, Li Jingshan briefly explained the matter and asked Fu Bobang to report it. Fauber muttered, "It stands to reason that this courtyard is not inhabited by outsiders. I see you as an honest person, so I'll help you report for the time being. It's just that the young master is taking a lunch break now, so you can come back later. ”

Li Jingshan couldn't, so she had to send Li Zhang back first, and she took a carrot in the kitchen and slowly carved it and waited for the summons. If she used to be in the past, she would pick up all kinds of stones and ores to study when she was killing time. The delicate movements of her fingers can calm her mind, and she also needs to think about how to convince the young master who only eats, drinks and has fun all day.

If she's a little more beautiful, or a little thicker-skinned, maybe she can try the beauty trick...... Li Jingshan turned the carved peony flowers between her fingers, alas, now, she can only expect him to be able to take a fancy to these skillful hands.

When she carved the tenth flower, Fauber finally informed her that the young master had risen and was about to pass the refreshments.

Li Jingshan hurriedly put the refreshments prepared earlier into the food box, placed a few carved peony flowers on it, and walked briskly towards the main courtyard.

She knocked on the door and heard an answer from inside, "Come in." ”

Li Jingshan was stunned for a moment, feeling that this voice sounded familiar. However, she didn't have time to think about it, and pushed the door open.

As soon as she stepped over the threshold, she saw that the young master was teasing the birds under the window, picking up some yellow corn from the bird food box held by Ruan Shu behind her to feed the birds, and when she heard the movement, she turned around, and her handsome face fell into her eyes so suddenly.

Li Jingshan was stunned suddenly, so shocked that even the food box in her hand almost fell to the ground.

Ruan Mingyu also looked at her, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Why are you?" ”

Li Jingshan's mind was blank, and the only thought was: Is it too late to escape now?

Ruan Mingyu looked at her with interest: In the morning, I saw this girl on the road who was covered in water and mud, and her face was spent. Now that I've cleaned up, I can still see it, but it's just a person above the middle, and it's not stunning.

The business he talked about this trip was going well, and now that he was full of sleep, he was rarely interested in teasing her. So he approached her, leaned down slightly, and smiled softly at her: "I haven't repaid my kindness in the morning, so I asked for it again so soon?" How are you going to repay me this time? ”

Li Jingshan's eyes widened and looked at him with peach blossoms in his eyes, his smile was ambiguous, but the eyes were still very attractive, and what quickly flashed in his mind was: often not returning at night, lipstick marks on clothes, good fresh clothes and delicacies, and the sentence "promise to each other" with a smile this morning!

She tensed in fright and took a step back. Only then did he remember the food box in his hand, hurriedly flashed into the room, put the food box on the table, and squeezed out an ugly smile: "Slave maid...... I brought refreshments. "Hurriedly turned around and was about to leave.

A joking voice came from behind him, "This is leaving?" What are you afraid of, will I eat you? What about the courage to fight the gangsters this morning? Or—"

As he spoke, he walked up to Li Jingshan, touched his cheeks, his eyes flowed, and he burst into two shallow smiles at the corners of his mouth, and lightly opened his lips: "-Or is it because I'm too ugly?" ”

Li Jingshan looked at his eyes as bright as the morning star, which looked like thousands of stars in the vast night sky, she was stunned as if she had been sucked in, and the ghost said: "No! It's you - so pretty! After saying that, she wanted to bite her tongue.

"Poof-hahahaha!" Ruan Mingyu was stunned at first, and then laughed.

Even Ruan Shu smiled and covered his stomach, "Miss Li, I was a restrained person, I didn't expect to be lively, even I was ashamed!" Hahaha. ”

Ruan Mingyu wiped the tears of laughter and said: "Okay, just based on your words, Fu Bo said that you have something to ask me, say, what's the matter?" ”

Li Jingshan's face was flushed with laughter, and she grabbed the corner of her clothes crampedly. But looking at Ruan Mingyu's clear but deep eyes, he still turned his heart sideways, asked him to rent a house, and said, "We won't bother for a long time, and we will move out when we find a suitable house." ”

Ruan Mingyu took a piece of Ruyi cake that Ruan Shu had picked with a silver fork, and took a small bite, "It's not impossible, it's just-" He squinted slightly, his voice was lazy, with dangerous demagoguery, "How do you repay me?" ”

- Rounded back again!

Li Jingshan tensed her back and whispered: "I, we don't live in vain, we can pay the rent." ”

"Young master, am I short of those taels of silver? And," the voice was still lazy, with a glimmer of insight in its slightly squinted eyes, "didn't you come to me to save some rent?" ”

Li Jingshan's cheeks were hot. She knew that the young master was not so easy to handle! I took a deep breath, but instead calmed down. Since the hole cards have been seen through, what else is there to hide.

She picked up a carved peony in the food box, handed it to him, and said calmly: "Young master, you don't get tired of eating, you don't get tired of being fine, and the slave can also add flowers to you." I've put a lot of thought into the presentation of breakfast every day, and you're sure you've seen it. It's not my job. If you promise me to rent here, I will make a plate for you for every meal! ”

Ruan Mingyu seemed to have just seen the flower, took it in his hand and studied it, and said with a light smile: "I can't eat it." It's not a good idea. If there is no better pay, the two rooms will be empty. ”

Li Jingshan was so anxious that hot sweat broke out on her forehead, she turned her head quickly, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the sachet hanging from Young Master Ruan's waist was a small zongzi beating a drum on the dragon boat. Her eyes lit up, she pointed to the sachet and said loudly, "And embroidery!" My mother's embroidery is very good, and that is her handiwork. ”

Ruan Mingyu untied the sachet given by Li Sanniang during the Dragon Boat Festival, threw it in his hand, and asked with interest: "This year's popular Dragon Boat Festival sachet is from your mother's hand?" ”

Li Jingshan couldn't get his question right, so she had to answer comprehensively: "We cooperated with Xiuzhuang." I designed the pattern, my mother embroidered, and put it on consignment in the embroidery village. ”

"The pattern you designed?" Ruan Mingyu raised his eyebrows, which were as slender as ink, "Those cute little zongzi and small five poisons, all of them were painted by you?" ”

Li Jingshan peeked at the young master's incomprehensible face, and couldn't tell whether it was praise or dissatisfaction, so she had to say truthfully, "It's the handiwork of the slave." ”

"What can you do besides embroidery?"

Li Jingshan was vigilant, this young master lingered in flowers all day long, and she wouldn't let her draw any pictures of the beautiful Spring Palace, right? She hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, I only draw flowers and plants on weekdays." ”

She seemed to see Young Master Ruan showing a hint of disappointment, threw the sachet in her hand and caught it, and hurriedly said: "My mother is from Tanxi, and her needlework is also top in her hometown!" If the young master's clothes are handed over to my mother to make, they will be comfortable and exquisite. Anything worse than a tailor in the capital! ”

She heard that the young master was from the capital, so she said so, only betting that his picky and delicate temperament could take a fancy to his mother's craftsmanship.
