Chapter 20: Reluctance to admit that he was wrong
Yi Yi looked at Xi Li, who came back, saw him with a sad face, and asked, "How is it?" ”
"Back to Gongzi, Miss Gu has already moved in." Xi Li's words were hurtful.
"Got it, the salary will be increased this month."
"Thank you! Thank you, Childe. Xi Li hurriedly thanked him, and a slight smile regained on his face.
It was evening, and it was time for him to get off work and go home.
Yu Yiye, Bu Zihe, and Kong Mingyu came to the dining table on the second floor, and the little servants had already prepared wine and food, and saw that Yi Yi was still in Buzhuang.
Yu Yiye stepped forward and asked, "Brother Wu, do you want to dine together?" ”
Kong Mingyu and Bu Zihe knew that he was itchy and looking for a twitch, so they didn't say anything on the side.
"I'm home." Yi Yi took the Tiger Roar Sword, bypassed the three of them, looked back at Kong Mingyu, and said, "You don't have to supervise tomorrow, just wait here." After saying that, he left the cloth village.
"Yes, Childe". Kong Mingyu got the order, took his own seat, and today he stopped touching the wine and ate slowly.
Yu Yiye was surprised, but he endured it, and didn't ask him why he didn't drink, but sped up to eat, and went back to the home where he urged marriage that day.
Bu Zihe didn't go back with Kong Mingyu after dinner, but went to the piano hall to listen to the qin.

"Yi'er," Li Shi saw his son coming back, hurriedly got up to greet him, and whispered, "Your aunt's daughter is here in the afternoon, you have a way to let her leave." ”
Yi Yi heard his mother's dissatisfaction from the words, put down the tiger roar, and said, "I know." ”
"Brother Yi." Before people arrived, they heard their voices, and the words were delicate.
Li patted Yi Yi on the shoulder and whispered coldly: "Let her go out as soon as possible, I can't stand it, I am angry." ”
When Li's mother and son took their seats, the delicate woman appeared, carrying a food box in her hand, and before she put the food box down, she had already saluted Li and Yi Yi first.
"I've seen my aunt, I've seen Brother Yi."
Li's body was uncomfortable, but what she didn't expect was that this woman would be so deep, the gentle whisper she pretended to be when she met for the first time, heavy, until today, she didn't see it clearly, this woman except for the snort, I'm afraid there will be no normal tone, her daughter-in-law has to be upright and can stabilize this family business, even if she can't help Yi'er manage, then she is not allowed to be so coquettish all day long.
replied lightly: "Xinlan, it's getting late, go back early." ”
"Auntie, it's okay," Wen Xinlan put down the food box and said, "This is the pastry I made, take it to Brother Yi to taste." ”
As soon as he spoke, he brought out the pastry, deliberately pushed it to the table of Yi Yi, and said with a smile: "Brother Yi Yi, you taste it." ”
He was indifferent, he finally knew where his mother's dissatisfaction came from, and he was disgusted by the woman who had to say everything in a snorting tone, and covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and replied, "I don't eat pastries." ”
He had already gotten up, looked at his mother and said, "Mother, you are not feeling well, just go and rest quickly, and then ask Aunt He to bring you supper later." ”
Li Shi listened to the hint and hurriedly called Xiaojin.
Wen Xinlan saw that her aunt was unwell, so she hurriedly blamed herself, "Auntie, it's Xinlan who is not good, and I didn't notice your discomfort." ”
Li didn't reply with a cold eye, and was helped back to the room by Xiaojin, and Yi'er came forward.
"Miss Wen," Yi Yi said coldly, looking at her, "It's getting late, please go back." ”
Wen Xinlan knew this, snorted lightly and stomped her feet, and after the blessing, she and the maid walked out of the hall in a small way.
couldn't help but look back unintentionally, Yi Yi had already left the hall, and snorted coldly, if she didn't need this noble identity, why would she wronged herself to come here to show her face.
Yi Yi came to his mother's house and said, "Mother."
Li came out, saw his son's heavy face, sighed: "It's the mother's mistake, I shouldn't let this woman in the door," and went to see Xiaojin again while speaking, and said: "Xiaojin, go and say hello to the porter, but whenever this mother and daughter come again, they will say that I am not there." ”
"Mother," Yi Yi said indifferently.
Li Shi Yi walked side by side and said, "Let's go eat!" It's been a busy day, and I'm not tired. ”
Li's soft greeting made Yi Yi smile lightly, "I'm not tired." ”
"I'm also from this eldest lady who lives in the backyard, why do I hate this angry woman so much." Lee's sigh.
I remembered that I went out today and saw the red love shop that had turned to ashes, and sighed again, and said: "I want to go to the red love to see it when I go out today, and then buy some pendants and hang them on the curtain, it's a pity!" ”
"I'm glad that girl was blessed with a great fortune and escaped this catastrophe."
Knowing what his mother was sighing, he replied, "There will be again." ”
Hearing this, Li smiled again: "I heard that the owner of this red love shop is a little girl, her name is Gu Ling, which is quite good." ”
A person with such courage and courage can open a shop in the city of Anding Mansion alone to make a living, presumably not the rich lady who does not go out of the door.
Yi Yi was silent, came to the table and took a seat, remembered his mother's words, and couldn't help but smile.
Gu Ling's master and servants cleaned the east house meticulously inside and out, and they didn't let go of a single fly.
When the cleaning was finished, Gu Ling was already tired and paralyzed, resting against the big pillar under the eaves, raising her hand to wipe the beads of sweat that fell from her forehead at any time, and there was only a silent night around her, and the full moon hung high in the treetops, stretching her figure.
Xiao Er and Xiao Yu carried the bed to the east room, laid it out on the kang, and placed a bronze vanity mirror, a small round wooden table made of ash wood, and two octagonal round stools made of ash wood. The octagonal round mahogany table and the octagonal wooden openwork round stool had been placed in the hall.
Xiao Er folded the hidden Four Seasons Laurel in the courtyard and put it into a thin white jade vase, one in the hall and one in the east room, to dispel the mildew that still existed in the house.
When Xiaoyu arrived at the kitchen, she poured water and rinsed all corners, brushed and washed for a while, before washing the dirt on the ground, placing a solid iron cauldron, and bringing cool water from the well outside the kitchen courtyard, pouring it into the pot to rinse the dusty pot that had never been used.
The dead wood found in the garden was boiled in hot water, and Xiao Er moved the cleaned wooden barrel to the east room with Xiao Er, and waited for the young lady to change her clothes and bathe.
Gu Ling took a bath and lay down, and Xiao Er dried her wet hair for her, and she didn't even eat a bite of the pastry and tea sent by Xiaoyu, and she was already asleep.
Xiao Er and Xiao Yu went out lightly, and the two took turns keeping vigil. But it wasn't really to rest, Xiaoyu was keeping vigil, carefully pulling off the osmanthus flowers that Xiao Er had picked up before, and putting them to dry and use them to make tea or pastries.
Xiao Er quickly took a bath, washed the change of clothes, and brought a thin blanket to replace Xiaoyu.
Seeing Xiaoyu sitting in the pavilion under the eaves of the east house, he picked tiny osmanthus petals with candlelight, and went up to find a railing to sit down.
Draped the blanket, raised his eyes to look at Xiaoyu, and said, "You also go to wash." ”
"Xiao Er," Xiao Yu got up, looked at Xiao Er, who had already sat down and picked osmanthus flowers, and said with a light smile: "How long have you been with Miss?" ”
Xiao Er thought about it and said slowly: "Eight years."
Xiaoyu was stunned, left the corridor pavilion and went to the backyard of the West Wing, eight years?
No wonder! If the young lady is ordinary, she can arrange things properly and in an orderly manner with a casual command.
sighed, then she will do what she is best at in the future!
At night, the light fragrance in the air, the branches and branches swaying in the wind, the scattered leaves falling, and the flowers falling.
The sky was gradually dawning, and the hazy sky seemed to be covered with a silver shirt, and when it was silent, a birdsong broke the silence.
Gu Ling had a good night's sleep, heard the chirping of birds outside the window, got up with a yawn, hooked his shoes at will, and gently pushed the door open.
The two girls were already waiting in the corridor pavilion, and hot water had been prepared on the round table of the auspicious clouds, so she pursed her lips and smiled: "It seems that I have to add monthly money to you, otherwise I can't help you serve me like this." ”
Picking up the wet water with a handkerchief between words, he wiped the sleepiness on his face, and then picked up the teacup to rinse his mouth, and he was even more helpless when he heard Xiao Er's words.
Xiao Er laughed and said, "That slave maid has to take good care of you and earn more money." ”
Xiaoyu is not as lively and cheerful as Xiao'er. Holding the tea tray and only smiling.
"Little Nizi." Gu Ling tapped the bridge of Xiao Er's nose and said with a smile: "I can see money better than me!" ”
"Miss, are you going to Buzhuang today?" Xiao Er asked.
"Go ahead!"
I guess I'm going to go! Otherwise, how would she know what greeted her?
After changing the elegant dress with soft fabrics, wearing Xiao Er's newly made embroidered shoes, applying some light powder, holding the light and elegant flower rain fan, leisurely out of the house, looking at the bronzing Li Zhai, the plaque had to be changed.
It's a pity that there is no official position, no business, and no fame, and there are really no personnel!
Xiao Er and Xiao Yu followed behind Gu Ling, and when they saw that the young lady was distracted when they looked at the plaque, they didn't dare to disturb.
The faint smile on the corner of Gu Ling's mouth, since there are no such three nos, then there will be no plaque, but it will also look plain, which is better than hanging a hypocritical plaque.
The lively streets, the bargaining of laughter and laughter in her ears, the sometimes embarrassing words, and the childish tone of the child shouting for this and that, the hawker's shouting and shouting echoed, Gu Ling just ignored these things, she had seen too much in costume dramas, she was afraid that she would fall into it, or maybe she had already fallen into it, and she didn't want to admit it.
