Chapter 538: Discovering the Heart
"Like when I was a child, I have read poetry and books, and I am determined to become a person who contributes to the country and society, and I have persisted for such a long time,"
The more Zhang Wei spoke, the more he felt a little sad, and he couldn't help but tilt his body, propping his elbow on the table, holding his chin with his palm, and looking directly at the opposite wall, as if he wanted to see farther through this wall.
"Even though my brother has always discouraged me from studying so hard, I always think about it at night, so I crawled out of bed and lit the lamp to read at night, and the first reading was an all-nighter, and the next morning I was scolded by my brother for sleeping too late.
"If I was really greedy for wealth and nobility as you said now, and intrigued with others in the business field, there would have been no need to work so hard in the first place, and I almost contracted the wind and cold at night and cheapened my body."
These words were originally just a little emotion from Zhang Wei for his original ambition and today's willingness to accept the status quo, but in Xiao Li's ears, it sounded more like he didn't take good care of himself, but instead said the wrong thing and aroused the sadness of his master, so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for advice beside him.
"Childe, don't be sad, it turned out that the little one said the wrong thing, the little one is just happy for the childe, the childe, whether it is doing business or going to participate in the scientific examination, he will definitely be able to get ahead," Xiao Li said as he knelt down and walked towards Zhang Wei, leaning on his knees and beating his legs.
"If the son thinks that this business is enough, you can also take the money you have earned now and go to Beijing to take the exam by yourself, even if the master has anything to say, the little one will definitely help you cover it up."
"Get up, I'm not blaming you, saying these words is just a little complaint in my heart," Zhang Wei sighed, personally reached out to help Xiao Li up, and patted his arm as if soothingly.
"What's more, there is still a part of this money that I should share with Jiang Liuyu, I can't be untrustworthy, I took the money and ran away, leaving her alone in the house, being targeted by so many people, her situation is even more dangerous, I am not such an ungrateful person."
Xiao Li stood up at his command, touched the back of his head again, and said with a smile following Zhang Wei's words, "That's what I said, Gongzi is so affectionate and righteous, after learning that Miss Jiang was trapped in Aunt Wei's yard, she has been unable to eat these days, and she has been tossing and turning at night,"
Listening to Xiao Li's words, Zhang Wei was about to turn around to get the teacup, and his brows couldn't help jumping, vaguely feeling that something was not quite right about what he said. But Zhang Wei thought about it, but there was nothing to be verbose, so he thought that Xiao Li was gossiping with him, and talked casually, so he didn't take it to heart.
"The little one was still strange at the time, could it be that the son-in-law was not used to it because he had changed places to sleep, but now it seems that the son-in-law was worried about Miss Jiang,"
Xiao Li saw that Zhang Wei didn't refute, thinking that he also agreed with his words, and became more and more energetic, and put down the snacks for him, and put down the curtain to block the sun, and there was no end to his mouth.
"This Miss Jiang can really be regarded as a heroine among women, the place chosen by the son was like that, and on the first day, there was not even half of the people who patronized it, but as soon as Miss Jiang appeared the next day, it immediately became like a booming business,"
This sentence was a bit of a shame for Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei's face was slightly embarrassed, Xiao Li noticed that what he said was a little uninteresting, so he hurriedly smiled and waved his hand next to him.
"It's not that the small one is deliberately exaggerated in front of you, the small one is next to the master, and those shops have also passed, and there is not necessarily a place where there is such a ability as Miss Jiang, who can make the guests come so quickly, and there is no unhappy remark, this is really Miss Jiang's ability,"
"But then again, it is thanks to your discerning eyes that Miss Jiang can be useful, you said that such a talent, and he looks like this, no wonder it will be remembered by the people on both sides of the lord and Aunt Wei,"
Mentioning this, Xiao Li seemed to have just recalled Jiang Liuyu's appearance in his mind, and couldn't help but praise her twice, "Childe wants to save her, and it is really true, presumably Miss Jiang will work harder for your business in the future." ”
Zhang Wei listened to Xiao Li's praise of Jiang Liuyu, on the one hand, he was happy in his heart, he had a figure like Jiang Liuyu by his side to help, but he was a little embarrassed to reveal the truth at that time.
It's not that she took the initiative to find her, but she in turn recommended herself to herself, she almost missed such a talent for a little shallow idea, if it was really because of this at that time, the two parted ways, presumably they didn't have such a chic time now.
He felt a little embarrassed in his heart, and suddenly heard Xiao Li praise his Jiang Liuyu's appearance, and mentioned the fact that she was worried about Zhang Qisheng, which woke him up all of a sudden.
He had mixed feelings in his heart, and remembered that in Aunt Wei's courtyard at that time, Jiang Liuyu behaved differently from ordinary women, and even encouraged himself to go to Beijing to take the exam, without taking into account that he might be found by Zhang Qisheng to settle accounts in the future.
But even if Zhang Wei had already affirmed Jiang Liuyu so much in his heart, in front of his own subordinates, there was no need for him to praise others like this, let alone be willing to let others know that he was so worried about a woman, so he cleared his throat and pretended not to care.
"What nonsense are you talking about, people like her will be favored by her brother, it's just because my brother is old, so I can't know people clearly, Aunt Wei didn't want her brother to do nonsense, so she called her over, what does it have to do with herself,"
"What's more, who said that I was worried about her, I just wanted to do something agreed with someone for this paper contract, and it was not good to break my word."
Zhang Wei denied it and tried his best to clear the relationship, but Xiao Li was confused. Xiao Li tilted his head and thought about it, thinking that he shouldn't have mentioned anything about his interest in Jiang Liuyu, Zhang Wei said this at this time, but it seemed that he didn't admit himself.
Xiao Li knew that his young master was probably saying this on purpose, so he followed his words and planned it, so as to test his intentions for Jiang Liuyu.
"That's right, when Miss Jiang was there, the young master smiled more than now, and there was nothing unusual, and now our business is not still very stable,"
"In addition, Gongzi is such a fairy-like character, I am afraid that what kind of prime minister and Miss will be matched in the future, and the princess of a country will be more than enough, so Miss Jiang is just a subordinate of our family, how can it be worth Gongzi's attention?"
"Childe mentioned her, Zuo just wanted her to better assist our business, as long as Childe went to Beijing to get an official position, then what happened to her Miss Jiang."
Xiao Li said while secretly looking at Zhang Wei with his eyes, Zhang Wei lowered his eyes, listening to the words in front of him, he already felt that he was not very happy, and the last sentence touched the sore spot in his heart, and hurriedly slapped the table to refute.
"You are talking nonsense, where is she so bad, her skills are far better than the thousands of troops of the princess of a country, and believe it or not, as long as she is willing and has a certain amount of capital, her life will definitely be more noble than that princess."
"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, the key is what you think, Childe. If Childe thinks she has such ability, then she must have it, and if Childe looks down on her, then naturally there will be no more. Xiao Li held back his snicker and asked as seriously as possible.
"Of course, there is." Zhang Wei replied as a matter of course when Doyer's words landed, he saw that her face was full of meaningful smiles, and she came back to her senses only to realize that she had quietly fallen into his trap, and her face couldn't help but feel red, and she was quiet in this room for a while before she asked in a low voice.
"You say, I'm really acting like that, is it that obvious?"
"That's not it, I think that no matter how much Gongzi likes the girls in those alleys, he won't be like this, not to mention that Gongzi has always been humble and humble, only when he met Miss Jiang, he was so unforgiving, this is enough to explain the problem,"
"Before, the little one was embarrassed to speak, but now the son himself realizes that something is wrong, and the little one has to speak up boldly." Xiao Li slapped his two hands lightly on his thighs, looked down at Zhang Wei and fell into deep thought.
Zhang Wei came back to his senses, blinked, raised his hand and nodded at Xiao Li twice, "You are really bad, when Young Master Ben asked you to study with me, did you learn the ability to frame me?" ”
"Oh, the little ones don't dare." said so, but the smile on Xiao Li's face revealed his true emotions.
Zhang Wei can't do anything about him, Xiao Li has grown up with him since he was a child, and it is impossible to be angry for his own annoyance, so he really punished him, and as a result, he could only sulk by himself. Zhang Wei thought about it for a while, stood up on his knees and walked outside, suddenly remembered something, and quickly turned around,
"When I met Liuyu, I remember that I went to these things in the alley, but I am not allowed to reveal them, if I find out, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless."
"Don't worry, Childe." Xiao Li smiled and nodded.
