Chapter 2 Dangers in the Rivers and Lakes
Li Yumo looked tired, and when he came out of the study where Zhang Chaoshui was, it was still early.
The corridor was next to the house, and the black brocade robe dragged around the corner with the master's pace, and he followed the master to the Li Mansion's eldest young master's courtyard, which was also a small courtyard with a single family.
As soon as Li Yangmo entered the courtyard with his front feet, Xiao Xia greeted him, took the heavy cloth bag embroidered with ingots patterns in Li Yangmo's hand, bowed his body and shouted respectfully:
"The eldest young master is back!"
Li Zhenmo snorted, his eyes were dark, a smile appeared on his pale face, and he motioned for Xiao Xia to open the bag and said:
"Put it away!"
The silver was borrowed by Zhang Chaoshui, and Li Zhenmo handed the silver bag containing the money to the servant Xiao Xia, squinting his eyes and making a small abacus in his heart-
The housekeeper Li Xingfa deducted his moon silver, not once or twice.
The little servant who called Xiao Xia was quick and took the silver bag out of the air and back into his arms.
After opening it, I subconsciously said "ah", and inside was white silver!
When Xiao Xia saw the silver, he hurriedly carefully held the silver bag in his hand and exclaimed:
"This must be three hundred taels of silver!"
Xiao Xia and Li Luomo are almost the same age, and they have served Li Xiaomo since childhood.
Xiao Xia rarely saw so much cash silver, and his mouth opened wide.
Li Zhenmo's eyes rolled around, and he said with some regret: "Yes, three hundred, I borrowed seven hundred from Teacher Zhang!" He only gave three hundred! It's really stingy! ”
Xiao Xia's mouth opened wide, and the hand holding the silver bag trembled slightly.
"Young master, one copper plate can be exchanged for two baked cakes."
"A tael of silver can be exchanged for about a hundred copper plates."
Xiao Xia swallowed a large mouthful of saliva vigorously, and then said:
"Three hundred taels of silver, that's six thousand, no, six! Ten thousand! Piece! Pancake. ”
"The villain's monthly silver is only four or five taels of silver!"
"These three hundred taels of silver ......"
Xiao Xia counted the baked cakes with his fingers.
Li Yanmo waved his hand and gave Xiao Xia a head hammer, and scolded with a smile: "I can't see that you have such arithmetic ability, why don't you go to the account room with my second mother and be happy!" ”
"I'm not going, I'm leaving, young master, you meet the next tricky old guy, and I won't give you food!"
Xiao Xia ate the head hammer, grinned in pain, retorted to Li Zhenmo on his mouth, and subconsciously wanted to rub his head with both hands, but he held the heavy silver bag tightly in his hand on the top of his head, which looked very funny.
As soon as Li Yumo lifted his robe back, he sat on the railing of the corridor with a big grin, and took a deep breath, as if he had run a long way, how could he be a little young master!
This mansion already covers a huge area, and has built corridors, alleys, screens, rockeries, lakes, criss-crossed.
Fortunately, this study is not very far from Li Luomo's own small courtyard, and it is just a "Hui" shape to go around.
Li Yanmo was a little skeptical, whether this was another anti-theft measure-
The bold and sour Xiucai, which girl in this house is like a flower, bypassing the eyes of the housekeeper Li Xingfa;
finally climbed over the high-walled compound, climbed in, and looked at the big houses, small houses, and halls in the courtyard, how desperate it should be;
As soon as his eyes were closed and his heart was horizontal, he found a random room and jumped through the window, and as a result, he jumped into the room of the second lady who was like a jackal and a tiger, and it would be a tragedy.
Sure enough, God likes to watch the drama of beating mandarin ducks, which is really interesting!
Thinking about this, Li Yumo seemed to remember the screams of the second lady, the chaotic footsteps of the family, and the smell of torches and lanterns burning.
Thinking of this, Li Yumo laughed while fanning himself with his wide sleeves.
Xiao Xia looked at the master's smile, and slid his hand in front of Li Yumo's eyes, trying to pull Li Yumo back to reality in a daze.
"Young Master, how is this silver placed?"
Xiao Xia asked.
"Put it away, you're there, it's not you!"
Li Yumo scared Xiao Xia and said.
Hearing this, Xiao Xia hurriedly took the silver bag into his arms, for fear of losing it.
"I'll see how the yellow wood is—"
Li Mo rested enough, got up and walked to the main hall, the black robe on his body dragging the ground.
A few steps through the main hall screen, walking back, the yellow flower wooden shelves are placed large and small blue glaze vases and large and small ornaments.
stepped on the carpet and crossed the small couch, and behind the threshold was the bed where Li Zhenmo slept.
It's just that at this time, this bed comes into view, but it is a miserable appearance that has been divided into two-
As if robbed, Li Luomo's bed was separated from top to bottom, and the four bedposts had been sawn off, lying quietly on one side.
The bedposts are made of beautiful wood of unknown variety, hand-polished, hand-carved with bamboo and then inlaid with rare rubies.
Now, the bedpost is being sawn down from the bottom and topped to one side, and the rough and old notches suggest that this is not the work of professionals.
The little servant named Xiao Xia followed behind Li Luomo, looking at the picture of being ruined by Li Xiaomo as if he had been robbed, the corners of his mouth twitched a little - the eldest young master didn't know what happened that day!
Xiao Xia remembered that day, the eldest young master who had been sick in bed for a long time, for some reason, and I didn't know where to find a sword, the young master took out the sword and said appreciatively:
"Good sword, good sword!"
Then Xiao Xia will never forget that scene, Li Yanmo waved the sword, the sword flashed with cold light, and slashed straight at the innocent bedpost.
A sword.
Two swords?
Three swords!
Xiao Xia: "? ”
The eldest young master stopped-
The eldest young master rubbed his arm?
The eldest young master raised his sword again!
Sword after sword............
When Xiao Xia realized the situation in front of him, he looked at Li Zhenmo who was working hard with a shocked face, and even raised his voice an octave, tearing his heart and lungs, trembling, and screamed:
"Great! Few! Father! ”
By the time the housekeeper Li Xingfa came in a hurry, the dust was flying.
The sword borrowed by Li Yumo had been curled, and the bed was split in two.
Xiao Xia watched Li Yanmo's pale face covered with sweat, and because of the heat, all the brocade robes faded, and he was only wearing a middle coat, which was disheveled.
Li Yumo looked at the masterpiece in front of him, showing his neat teeth, like a pure and shy teenager, smiling simply-
"It's here, Brother Fa!"
Li Zhenmo looked at the housekeeper Li Xingfa amiably, as if he had seen an acquaintance.
"Crazy, but that's it!"
Xiao Xia thought to himself, he was speechless.
……
Back to the present.
"Small ~ Summer"
A familiar call pulled the little servant back to reality.
Xiao Xia looked at Li Zhenmo who was standing in the endgame, subconsciously shuddered, his face wrinkled bitterly, and hurriedly answered.
Li Zhenmo asked gently——
"No one is here to move!"
"As you commanded, no one will set foot in your dormitory."
Konatsu replied.
I saw Li Yumo nodding with satisfaction and patting the young servant's shoulder.
Then Li Yanmo turned around, looked at the mess, and muttered:
"So the model comes out, how to fill it~"
Li Zhenmo held his forehead and continued to mutter:
"Remember Simmons is soft, bullet-......"
"Soft ......"
"Bullet ......"
"What kind of cloth is soft?"
Xiao Xia on the side subconsciously answered: "It is said that Yunshufang's brocade clothes are the softest!" ”
With Xiao Xia's reminder, Li Luomo seemed to remember something, Li Zhenmo clapped his hands excitedly, and his voice was a little hoarse as a teenager-
"That's right, Yunshufang is a ready-to-wear shop, and the cloth must be the most complete!"
Li Zhenmo was woken up and looked at Xiao Xia appreciatively.
"Far away, close at hand!"
Let's talk about it.
Li Luomo walked out with his feet raised, but turned back in less than a quarter of an hour, Li Luomo asked embarrassedly-
"How do I get to my shop?"
Xiao Xia seems to have become accustomed to Li Luomo's behavior of saying that he will leave, and he is not surprised.
"Back to the young master, Yunshufang shops are distributed in the two districts of Jiangnan and Jiangbei, which shop does the young master want to go to, tell our uncle directly, they will arrange a sedan chair to carry you there"
Xiao Xia replied seriously.
Suddenly remembering something, Xiao Xia opened his mouth wide and quickly raised his head to look directly at Li Yumo, feeling his offense, and quickly lowered his head:
"The young master wants to leave the house?"
"Yes!" Li Yumo nodded and replied, thinking about something.
"The young master has been weak since he was a child, and he rarely goes out of the house."
Xiao Xia tried to stop Li Luomo - the housekeeper said that let the eldest young master recuperate in his own courtyard.
Li Zhenmo thought for a while, and replied mysteriously:
"The world is so big, I want to see it."
Xiao Xia looked at Li Luomo in surprise, the eldest young master's two eyes, a nose and a mouth, were exactly the same as himself.
But sometimes I can't understand what he's saying!
"What?"
Xiao Xia asked.
"Ahem, I want to go and see my shop, as the son of Li Fu, how can I not even go to my own property!"
Li Luomo thought about it and made a good excuse.
Your own property!
"The little one will go to Steward Li's to find the little guy to prepare the carriage immediately——"
Xiao Xia saw that he couldn't stop Master Li Yanmo, and honestly provided the service he could.
"I want a private interview with Weifu!"
Li Zhenmo refused.
"What is a private interview with a microserver!"
Xiao Xia looked at Li Luomo with a confused look in his eyes again.
"Stupid! How can you see the guys being passive and slacking off with great fanfare! ”
Li Luomo explained.
"The little one is going to change his clothes right away."
Xiao Xia didn't understand it, so she turned her head and was about to change her clothes.
"Young master, I'll go by myself."
Li Zhenmo once again dismissed Xiao Xia's approach in court.
"But young master, you haven't been out of the mansion."
Xiao Xia looked at Li Luomo and felt that something was strange, and he couldn't say it.
"No, the eldest young master has been very abnormal for a while!"
Xiao Xia muttered silently in his heart, Li Yumo had already taken some silver taels from Zhang Chaoshui and walked out.
"I've got a long mouth!"
Li Zhenmo said in his heart - a mouth under the nose, can it still be lost in Jiangzhou Mansion?
"Young master, what should you do if you faint halfway!" Xiao Xia looked worried.
"Shut up, don't follow me!"
Li Yumo shouted, stopping Xiao Xia from following.
……
Li Mansion, the main entrance, the gatehouse.
"Hello young master!"
Li Luomo walked over and really startled the guy in the porter, and the two hurriedly said hello.
Without waiting for Li Yanmo to go away, the two exchanged glances and muttered in a low voice-
"That's right, is it the eldest young master?"
A guy whispered to Li Zhenmo's back.
"I haven't seen the eldest young master for several years, and his appearance has grown a little, it's him"
Another guy affirmed.
Li Mansion really can't get out of the second, fifteen-year-old master, so Li Yumo is quite easy to recognize.
"I heard that the eldest young master ......"
One guy pointed to his head with an expression that you know, and said to the other, "What is he doing out there!" ”
Li Yanmo walked far away, and with his eyes closed, he could think of what the next people were talking about!
A thought puzzled Li Luomo for fifteen years, and Li Luomo also lived for fifteen years-
Li Luomo thinks he is a person with a normal IQ, but they always say that he is a fool and an idiot.
It can be shown everywhere, and the strongest evidence is that he was fired.
People say that after coming out of the National Security Academy, Li Zhenmo said that he was recuperating and no longer went out, but he was actually abandoned by the master of the Li family, and even the subordinates were withdrawn.
And so on, there are all kinds of rumors.
Li Yanmo was speechless as he walked-
True or false, he is sure that he is not a fool, and he is indeed recuperating!
As for being expelled from the National Security Academy, that's another story!
Li Yumo didn't care about the ridicule behind the backs of the family, and left directly, he was going to Yunshufang.
After Li Luomo left the house with a stick of incense.
In Li's mansion, the two family members exchanged glances, and the figure of one of the family members quickly trotted from the door to a courtyard.
"Steward Li, little Li Si!"
After greeting him outside the window, the family leaned into the ear of an elderly man with gray temples of about fifty years old, and whispered—
"Report to the housekeeper, the eldest young master has just left the house."
"Oh?" The old man lay on the couch and opened his eyes, a pair of cloudy eyes but a majestic tone.
This person is the head of the Li family in Jiangzhou Mansion, Li Xingfa.
Li Xingfa is nearly fifty-five years old, but he is not confused at all, how can he be the housekeeper of the Li family!
It doesn't matter if you're twenty or thirty, or fifty.
Li Xingfa stretched out his hand to pull back the servant who was shaking the fan, closed his eyes, and said, "Rare thing! ”
"Not really! When have you ever seen this lord go out~"
Jia Ding was also amazed and sighed.
"Did you say what to do?"
Li Xingfa opened his eyes and asked.
Jia Ding immediately put away his laughing expression, leaned over, and replied dutifully-
"The eldest young master didn't explain, Steward Li, don't you need anyone to follow the eldest young master, the eldest young master ...... him"
Jia Ding pointed to his head, hinting.
"Bold! Need not. The man on the couch closed his eyes and waved his hand to let the family stand down—
"It's okay not to pretend in the house!"
Li Xingfa thinks of Li Zhenmo's brain aches, this eldest young master, every time he keeps saying that he wants to "make inventions", how many treasures in the house are ruined!
The family listened to the order to retreat, and when he retreated to the door, he heard Li Xingfa say again: "Wait-"
"Find a few people to follow, if the eldest young master is crazy halfway, protect don't hurt the people."
Li Xingfa picked up the hookah, groaned for a while, and commanded.
"Understand, the little one will send someone to follow and protect the young master!"
The family received the order and stepped back.
"Protect the people!"
Li Xingfa on the couch had no expression, and added: "If necessary, you wait to stop the eldest young master, don't do anything like damaging people and property!" ”
Gritting his teeth when the words "damage people and property" were spoken, Li Xing stretched out his hand and said, "Go down!" ”
"You summoned Xiao Xia to come to my ......"
Li Xingfa added.
"Yes!"
The family received the order and resigned.
Li Xingfa opened his eyes, touched the white hair on his sideburns with his rough big hand, and said to himself:
"Why is he going out of the house!"
……
Let's talk about Li Zhenmo.
Although he is mentally prepared after going out, he is quiet in the courtyard every day, and he does not leave the Li Mansion all the year round.
It was the first time I stepped into this chaotic street.
The voices are boiling, but I don't think it's real-
The hawkers, the stalls of the candy men, the people walking back and forth, the horses passing by, the muscular men holding the piggy pattern candy men......
Li Luomo looked at this novel world and breathed in the smell of steamed buns coming from the steamer.
Li Zhenmo stood on the street, exhaled hard, and said with emotion: "The world is so big—"
A month ago, after Li Zhenmo drank the medicine, he woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, he was idle and couldn't sleep.
Walking aimlessly along the corridor, he walked to the account room and heard the voices of his second mother and another person.
"There is only marriage, only marriage!"
"Let the young master enter the Wu family upside down, they can rest assured!"
"For the sake of Yunshufang's century-old foundation, this matter may be a try, and it must be a try!"
"If this matter is done, then the Li family is in the Dajiang Chamber of Commerce, and with the support of the Wu family, it can be regarded as a real foothold!"
In the accounting room, a man's voice was speaking impassionedly.
Li Zhenmo was outside, wandering by chance, hearing by chance, and having mixed feelings in his heart.
What is this, sharpening the knife Huo Huo to the ink?
So next, there was a scene that Xiao Xia saw!
……
Back to the present, Li Yumo walked on the street with a heavy heart.
"Smack!"
Li Yumo's thoughts were interrupted, and a powerful impact was felt on his shoulder.
A big man with a candy man in his hand looked gloomily at Li Yanmo, and said coldly: "Be careful! ”
Li Zhenmo subconsciously helped his shoulder, but found that the sticky sugar man was stuck to his shoulder.
The big man was a cut above him, and Li Zhenmo felt a strong sense of oppression-
Seeing the big man angrily holding the bamboo stick, Li Zhenmo touched the stickiness of his shoulder, and said to himself: "The rivers and lakes are dangerous, run quickly!" ”
