Section 10 Favor
As soon as the words were spoken, for Lu Youyou, it was like seeing the sun, sweeping away the sorrow and depression of the previous few days, taking care of the medicine garden with Du Qingyi, concocting medicinal materials, as if returning to the intimate time when he first entered the medicine house.
Even because of what was in their hearts, the two were a little closer than before.
In particular, Du Qingyi not only no longer avoided Zhang Ruoxu's matter, but also took the initiative to take over the chores in the medicine house, urging Lu Youyou to hurry up and draw illustrations for "Youxian Grotto", so as not to delay time, which moved Lu Youyou even more.
As soon as she was in a good mood, Lu Youyou's painting speed was also a lot faster, Du Qingyi helped her mix the paint every day, although her painting skills were mediocre, but the embroidery was exquisite, and the feeling in color matching was no less than Lu Youyou, Lu Youyou taught her to help with color matching, which also fulfilled her wish to "cooperate" with Zhang Ruoxu.
Lu Youyou and Du Qingyi spent more time together, so naturally they didn't care much about Li Qi, and at most boiled the medicine according to Du Qinglian's prescription every day and sent it to him, so he hurriedly went back to paint.
Li Qi saw that Du Qingyi coaxed Lu Youyou to be happy in three or two clicks, and he had spent so much effort, and even picked up the jade flute that had not been touched for a long time, but he couldn't resist a little girl with bad thoughts, although he didn't say it, his face was a little difficult to see.
So when Lu Youyou went to bring him food again, when he put down the food and turned to leave, Li Qi finally couldn't help but stop her.
"Wait a minute, you're in such a hurry, where are you going?"
Lu Youyou replied casually: "I have to go to catch up with the draft, I have to deliver the draft tomorrow, and there is one last bit left...... Thanks to Qingyi for helping me! ”
Li Qi frowned, "She treated you like that at the beginning, and now she is so attentive, aren't you afraid that she has other plans?" ”
"Figure what? What do I have to make her calculate? Lu Youyou said disapprerovingly: "I think you're thinking too much." Qingyi just did something wrong in a moment of confusion, and didn't allow people to change their ways? ”
Li Qi sneered, "Do you think she has really changed?" ”
"What do you mean?" Lu Youyou looked up at him sharply, "You doubt her?" ”
"Etiquette must be asked for by others," Li Qi looked at her and sighed, "Don't you think she is too attentive?" Is it really ulterior motives? ”
Lu Youyou pursed his lips and said with some dissatisfaction: "What do you mean to be too attentive and have ulterior motives?" So you control me so much all the time, and you ...... me Could it be that he also has ulterior motives? ”
Li Qi choked, "Me and her...... How can it be compared? ”
Lu Youyou snorted lightly: "Why not? Does making friends depend on the identity of men and women? Make friends with heart for heart, only with sincerity can you have real friends. I see you, it's too suspicious, suspicious all day long, and you want to make a friend, it's difficult! As he spoke, he secretly complained in his heart, based on his age, he was already an older single young man in this era, and if he really went on like this, he was afraid that he would become a single dog who was destined to be orphaned!
"Really?" Li Qi snorted lightly, "Then I'll wait and see how much sincerity you have ......."
"Then you'll see!" Lu Youyou pouted at him and left without looking back, but he didn't see it, he sighed softly behind his back, and seemed to be chewing on those two words "sincerely" repeatedly.
People like him have seen and owned too much, but there is only such a thing as "sincerity", which is extremely rare.
"How dare you talk to Li Gongzi like this?"
Du Qingyi couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard Lu Youyou hug her indignantly, "My sister is good to me, Qingyi remembers it in her heart, as long as my sister believes in me, I don't care what others think." What's more, it is normal for a person with a noble status like Li Gongzi to look down on a lowly maid like me, and my sister doesn't have to be angry. ”
"What's wrong with the maidservant?" Lu Youyou said angrily: "If it weren't for the fact that a man couldn't control himself, how could there be a maidservant and a girl?" Oh, they have the ability to look down on people, and if they have the ability, don't drink the medicine we boil, don't eat the food we cook! What kind of ability is it to eat ours and use ours, and to look down on people! ”
Seeing her so indignant, Du Qingyi grabbed her arm and chuckled: "It's also that I'm confused, I thought that with the identity of Li Gongzi, it was impossible to have a relationship with my sister, so I would misunderstand my sister and Zhang Gongzi...... I didn't expect him to be so close to his sister by making an exception, even if he said a few words to me, it was for his sister's good. It seems that my sister is favored by nobles and will have a good future in the future. ”
"Hey, I'm not rare for nobles to favor, and my future doesn't depend on others." Lu Youyou asked curiously: "You keep saying that he has a noble identity, what is his identity?" Why are you here alone? Your brother...... How did Master know him? ”
"This ......"
Du Qingyi shook his head and said, "I don't know. I only heard from my brother that he was of noble birth and told me to have as little contact with him as possible. Don't just ask......"
"Hey, is it possible that his identity is still unseemly?"
Lu Youyou blinked, remembering that when he fell into Li Qi's carriage, he was chased and killed all the way, and almost lost his life, plus the strange poison in him is not accessible to ordinary people, no wonder Du Qinglian asked his sister to avoid him, it may not be a good thing for her to know too much, but she has already been involved by Li Qi, if you don't figure out his identity, wouldn't it be a wrongful death?
So, the next day, she packed up the sketch of "Youxian Grotto" and was about to go out of the valley to deliver the manuscript, and sure enough, she saw that Li Qi was already waiting for her at the door.
"Get in the car!"
Li Qi obviously remembered the unhappy parting last time, and if it was an invitation, it was as blunt as an order.
"Here we go!"
Lu Youyou is a big-hearted person, not to mention that she has never suffered a loss at all, she didn't take his attitude to heart at all, she can take a ride out of the house, and she can take the opportunity to inquire about the news and hug a golden thigh, she can completely ignore this unfriendly attitude.
Seeing that she got into the car without any guilt, holding the bamboo tube with the painting in her arms, so that she sat awkwardly, Li Qi moved her position slightly, made more space for her, and pretended to ask unintentionally, "Where to go?" ”
"Let's take a clear look, Zhang Gongzi lives in the small courtyard over there on weekdays."
Lu Youyou looked at this carriage curiously, different from the carriage she crashed and fell into, this one is more luxuriously decorated, made of fine wood for the frame, not only is it covered with a thick blanket underneath, but even the carriage is wrapped with a layer of brocade, anti-collision and shock-absorbing, although it is not as comfortable as the cars of later generations, but it can be regarded as a first-class luxury car in this era.
It's just that there are no family emblems and marks commonly used by the family that Du Qingyi told her inside and out, and I really can't see Li Qi's origin.
"What are you looking for?"
Li Qi had already noticed Lu Youyou's movements, but he just looked at her eyes drifting towards him from time to time, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing?" Lu Youyou coughed dryly twice, and asked curiously: "Where did you buy this carriage, I have never seen it before......"
"It's custom-made." Li Qi glanced at her, "It's not for sale." ”
"Oh? In this way, Li Gongzi's identity is really extraordinary! Lu Youyou blinked, "I don't know if you can tell me a thing or two?" ”
Li Qi coughed lightly, held back a smile, and said, "It's not time yet, when my illness is cured, I will naturally say." ”
"It's a pity," Lu Youyou sighed, "I knew that you could afford to sit in a custom-made carriage, and you were so rich and powerful, I should have told Master to charge you more for your consultation." ”
Li Qi glanced at her and said angrily: "How do you know that he undercharged the consultation fee?" Don't forget, you master, if you didn't have me to help you, you wouldn't even be able to enter his door, and you would have turned your face so quickly and didn't recognize anyone? ”
"How dare you!" Lu Youyou immediately showed a standard smile, "Childe is our food and clothing parents, where do I dare not admit it, if there is no childe, there will be no me today, great kindness, remember, in the next life, I will definitely repay you as a cow and a horse." ”
"Next life? Hehe, that is, I don't plan to repay the favor in this life? Li Qi was obviously not fooled by her, and cast a disdainful look at her little slippery trick, "Sit down honestly, it'll be here soon." ”
"Arrived?"
