Li Yuyan on the side finally couldn't help but speak, and deliberately whispered: "I heard my mother say that the cooks more than ten years ago were very delicious, and since Aunt Meng was in charge, she has changed a batch!" ”

Li Yuyan is timid and simple, seeing Li Yujin and Li Yuqing discussing these gossips, she has long been eager to speak, but it has been delayed until now.

Li Yuyan's voice was already small, so he deliberately lowered the volume, and the voice was even more inaudible.

Li Yuqing's ears have always been sensitive, so naturally he heard clearly, but Li Yujin didn't understand, his eyes were wide open, and he looked puzzled.

Li Yuqing repeated for Li Yuyan: "Sister Yan said that Aunt Meng changed her original cook after taking charge of the house, so it is not delicious." ”

Li Yujin said "oh" a few times, revealing his original expression.

There are a lot of good cooks in this Zhai Dynasty, but the cost of celebrity chefs is indeed very expensive, and it does cost a lot of money to use a group of good cooks in a house.

It's just a desire to eat, and occasionally go to a restaurant outside to have a good meal, so it seems that Aunt Meng is indeed a competent hostess who works hard in the house and saves money for the house.

However, if Li Yuqing doesn't know much about the situation, he may think that this is the case, but the actual situation is the opposite.

The fourth uncle in the house is in charge of the general affairs, but these general affairs are directly connected with Li Yan, although Li Yan is the second assistant, but Li Ji's family started in business in the early years, and Li Yan still likes to care about these copper smells like to be familiar with the children.

There is a monthly rule for all expenses in the government, and if there are other things that require money, they must report to Li Yan and then allocate funds. So now although Aunt Meng is in charge, she is not in her hands, but she can just use it.

In fact, in the early years, when the Zhou family was in charge, the financial power was not held by Li Yan, but by the Zhou family, and the general affairs and the inner house could only be taken care of. Li Yan was very relieved, after all, his wife was a famous and hard-working woman.

But when it comes to Aunt Meng, Li Yan is not at ease, Aunt Meng was not outstanding in everything when she was in school, and her arithmetic was a mess, of course he was worried that she would ruin his family business, so he simply took care of it himself.

Li Yan is a selfish man, enjoying Aunt Meng's thoughtfulness, fascinated by this woman's gentleness, but clearly awake, for fear that this woman will take advantage of him.

Love is true love, but this true love is also very cheap.

Aunt Meng has no mother's family, and she didn't have the dowry of the year, and most of her own money over the years has been blown by the pillow wind, and the expenses in the house have been deducted and collected one by one, and her sons and daughters-in-law have come from filial piety.

A few more people chatted, and the banquet dispersed.

Li Yan opened his mouth: "Don't leave first, stay and say a few words to your grandparents and grandchildren." ”

Li Yujing's face was a little proud, she was not very happy that her grandfather gave the Buddha beads to Li Yuqing as a meeting gift, but now she was very happy when her grandfather asked Li Yuqing to give up the letter of recommendation.

She had to see how such a proud man could swallow his grandfather's majesty.

When I think about it like this, I can't help but feel refreshed in my heart.

Li Yujing didn't leave, she wanted to stay here to watch, Li Yucheng pulled her sleeve and signaled that it was time to go, Li Yujing ignored it, and still stood still.

Li Yucheng was in a hurry, and it was difficult to shout out, so he could only leave by himself.

Aunt Meng knew Li Yan's temperament, and she didn't want irrelevant people to interfere with her, so she also left, but she looked at Li Yan a thousand times before leaving.

What you promised me will be done.

Li Yan nodded slightly, Aunt Meng left satisfied, and by the way, she took Li Yujing out with her.

Li Yan then asked, "Which school did you decide to go to?" If you don't know, your grandfather recommends you to go to Zihao. ”

Li Yuqing glanced at Li Yan in surprise: "I'm going to go to Zihao, just like my grandfather thought." ”

Li Yan smiled, "This shows that our ancestors and grandchildren still have a tacit understanding." ”

Li Yuqing was a little uncomfortable with this sudden enthusiastic attitude, and didn't say anything.

Li Yan tentatively spoke: "Your knowledge should not be bad, go to the exam yourself, make some reputation, everyone will know you as soon as you go to the school, and your godmother, Mrs. Meng, will also have a light on her face." ”

Li Yuqing raised her eyebrows, and the mood on her face immediately came to life: "Grandfather left me down, did he want to be a lobbyist for the fourth sister's affairs?" ”

She asked directly, instead of slowly playing dumb riddles and wasting time, it was better to find out at the beginning, everyone was easy to discuss, and she wanted to go back to wash and sleep earlier!

Li Yan was not embarrassed to be picked out for the purpose, and sure enough, this old fox who had been in officialdom for many years was very unusual, and he persuaded with a smile:

"I'm not for your fourth sister, the idea is for the girls in the house, but also for you. Your fourth sister's personality is spoiled, she wants the best in everything, her eyes are high, and she may be taken bad if she goes to a bad school, and she will do something that will disgrace the house.

You must know that it doesn't matter if she loses face alone, what's worse is that it will bring all the sisters in the house, for you, your fourth sister and you are separated, and the two people can't be one person, but for people outside, the girls in the house are all a whole, and you all brought a Li Mansion in front of you, and you share honor and disgrace in some aspects, so which of your sisters loses someone, the rest will also be implicated! ”

Li Yan's tone was serious, like an elder who earnestly taught his younger generations.

Li Yuqing just listened, and did not answer.

I can't help but think that this grandfather's rank is really high, and when I talk about people, in the name of your good, I roughly hear it, and it's really that reason, which makes people very shaken.

But she still didn't catch a cold, these big truths were deducted from her, quite a bit of moral kidnapping, and there was no wavering in her heart, but a little disgust.

Li Yan saw that this granddaughter's face was indifferent, without a trace of being moved, and he couldn't help but sigh that Zhou Hui taught her well, this girl is excellent in all aspects, has her own principles and persistence, and must be a resolute person in her heart, otherwise she would have been a little moved.

"If you don't think that's the case, then grandfather will say it again, and you should listen carefully. Among the girls in the house, you are the best now, although you are a concubine, but you recognize Mrs. Meng as a godmother, and this identity is not bad.

And then with your appearance and talent, maybe you will be taken by a few ladies in the palace, which prince can be the princess, now the four princes in the court, are all very handsome and capable teenagers, no matter which one, you will not be bad in the future, but these ladies choose their own daughter-in-law, naturally depends on the family style, then your four sisters have more or less some influence on you. ”

When Li Yan said this, he stopped, looked at Li Yuqing, and gave her time to think.

Li Yuqing couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart, this grandfather's clever words were for her good, and it was very reasonable, but it was just to make her give up a recommendation place.

It was really a lot of work, if her grandfather was willing to talk to her sincerely about the conditions, she might have given this letter of recommendation, but she was really a little tired of coercing and seducing her with great reason.

Li Yuqing's eyes widened and she was slightly innocent: "Grandfather, the fourth sister is not good at learning now, but she is not very old, and she is only thirteen years old. After all, a good school has high requirements, and the fourth sister will inevitably be under a lot of pressure if she goes in like this, not only is it easy to keep up, but it is also easy to be kicked out of the school, so it's not a good reputation to spread it like this, right? It's better to solve it fundamentally, invite a few teachers to teach in the house for a year or two, and if you have good knowledge, you will naturally be able to be admitted to a good school! ”

Li Yuqing said that she was sincere, and she looked sincere and considerate for her sister.

Li Yan was a little dumbfounded, laughing in his heart, and felt more and more that this seventh granddaughter was a smart person, so he didn't eat him at all, and returned it according to his words.

"But your fourth sister has no talent for learning, and I'm afraid it's useless to ask the teacher to teach her in person!"

Li Yuqing shook her head: "Grandfather, what you said is not right, the fourth sister doesn't look like a stupid person, she must be unwilling to learn in her heart." Even if you have a poor talent for reading and can't learn alive, those dead things can always be remembered. If you study hard for a year or two, you will definitely be able to have some effect. ”

didn't wait for Li Yan to speak again, Li Yuqing shouted excitedly again, her eyes were shining, like seeing a cat with a mouse, and she was very excited: "Otherwise, I will teach the fourth sister, teach the Baohui, teach for a year, if I can't teach well, I will recommend it to the fourth sister next year, and the godmother is also willing to give it." But when I teach my fourth sister, my fourth sister must obey discipline, and my grandfather will give me this right! ”

Li Yan was embarrassed, looking at the light in this girl's eyes, he felt bad, just kidding, the four girls will definitely not be able to play the ghost elf in front of them, if she teaches her for a year, the four girls are estimated to be her for a whole year, so it is considered a place!

"Forget it! If you don't want to, forget it, I'll invite a few gentlemen to tutor your fourth sister tomorrow, and strive to pass the exam hard! ”

He didn't dare to agree to the request of the seven girls, for fear that if he agreed, this time, the four girls would die or live, and Aunt Meng's tears would drown him!

Let's just take a step back!

"Grandfather! I'm not a person who doesn't understand sisterhood, but I think the fourth sister herself is too bad, and I hope that she can improve one or two by herself, instead of relying on these small paths. You let the fourth sister study at home for a year, and if you can't pass the exam next year, I will give the recommendation letter of my godmother next year to the fourth sister! ”

Li Yan is used to seeing Li Yuqing's sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and now seeing her so reasonable and soft appearance, she can't help but soften, she is still a little girl after all, and she doesn't have a hard heart.

"Good! That's good! Seven girls, you are right to think so, it is best to get along with the sisters in the house! ”

After Li Yan finished saying this, he asked gently, "Are there any difficulties in your return to the mansion today?" If you have any problems, tell your grandfather! ”

Li Yuqing was waiting for this sentence, pretending to be thinking, and then said after a while: "It's that the Spring Sprout Courtyard where I am is too remote, and I have to fire by myself on weekdays, can I open a corner door in the yard so that people can go to buy things?" ”

"Of course it works!" Li Yan said happily, "It's not a big deal, I think you will ask someone to renovate the yard at that time, and you can just add a corner gate at that time." In the end, I still wronged you, the house is tense, there is no place to live, and it is not good to vacate a few sisters, so the spring sprout courtyard is very large, you can live very comfortably after resting, and it will be very comfortable at that time. ”

Mrs. Meng has so much money in her hands, and this girl must have a lot of money, so he also intervened when arranging the yard, and a large secluded place is an excellent choice.

"Then I thank my grandfather for his approval! I like the Spring Sprout Courtyard very much, and I live very comfortably, this yard is just right for me! ”

Li Yuqing was very happy in her heart, and with the approval of the lord of this mansion, her back door could also be opened.

As for the small corner gate that Li Yan thought in his eyes, but a large corner gate that could be used by carriages to enter and exit, there was no need to explain it to his grandfather.

Li Yan also smiled when he saw this girl's happy appearance, and reminded: "Pay attention to safety when you open the corner door, and let a few practitioners guard the door!" ”

Li Yuqing nodded, thinking about what kind of style the door would be.

After leaving the main hall, Li Yuqing saw a few green oranges hurrying over.

When she was talking to her grandfather, the girls were waiting outside.

Luju was very worried: "Miss, this-did the old man embarrass you?" ”

Li Yuqing shook her head and said that she kept the letter of recommendation in her hand, which was promised by her grandfather. calmed the hearts of the girls in front of him.

The master and servant walked briskly towards the spring sprout courtyard together.

By this time it was completely dark. A few little girls held glass lamps in front of them to open the way, and Li Yuqing and Lu Ju walked while talking in the back.

Li Yuqing told them that she asked her grandfather for the right to open the back door, and Fan Ying was very happy:

"This makes it easy for us compradors to go out! I looked at the map, although our spring sprout courtyard is a secluded location in the house, but the location of the spring sprout courtyard is very good, the lady opened a door in the southeast corner, and as soon as you go out, you will turn the corner is the most prosperous Changchun Street in Kyoto. ”

Bihe's eyes lit up when she heard this: "In this way, if the young lady wants to eat any snacks in the future, I can just go to the street and buy it, it's fast and convenient, and I don't need to look at the face of the porter." Our Spring Sprout Courtyard has really become a small world of freedom! ”

Li Yuqing smiled: "You just want to go out to buy food and drink, you just want to see the streets of Kyoto, don't you?" It's okay, now that I'm settled down today, and I don't have to take exams, I'll plan the reorganization of the yard, and we'll go out to play together. ”

Several people were very happy to hear it, and discussed together where to go to see the scenery and where to eat delicious food.
