Chapter 021: He's really stingy
After all, he has been in charge of Linlangfang for many years, and when he ushered in the delivery, the wooden shopkeeper immediately reacted, hurriedly took out the brocade box in his sleeve, handed it forward and said: "Master, this is a thank you gift from Miss Xie for letting the slave transfer it to you." ”
Xiao Quanzi's eyes lit up.
Thank you.
I don't know what's in it.
Miss Xie is so eccentric, it should be something that suits the master's heart.
What can such a large brocade box hold?
Li Yu looked at the brocade box, but he didn't say what was presented.
The first time it was a jade pendant, the second time it was a veil, and what is it this time?
Seeing that he didn't answer, Xiao Quanzi couldn't help but be a little anxious: "Master, take a look, if you don't want it, just let the wooden shopkeeper return it." You said such heartless words, Miss Xie also prepared a thank you gift, you should take a look. ”
The wooden shopkeeper was also curious about what was inside, he looked at Li Yu and said, "Miss Xie said that the master is probably angry with her, as long as you see this ceremony, you won't be angry." ”
Hearing this, Li Yu finally opened his mouth: "Present it." ”
The wooden shopkeeper immediately stepped forward and respectfully handed over the brocade box.
Li Yu stretched out his hand to take it, and the wooden shopkeeper and Xiao Quanzi stretched their necks to watch.
He glanced over, and the two of them closed their necks together, but their eyes still fell on the brocade box.
Li Yu's slender hand held the brocade box, and hesitated for a while before reaching out to open it.
The first thing that catches your eye is a piece of red silk, very poorly tied in a knot, barely in the shape of a butterfly.
Under the red silk is a palm-sized silk cloth, pink and tender I can't tell what it is, her thank you gift should be wrapped under this silk cloth.
Li Yu lowered his eyes, stretched out his hand to tear open the red silk knot, and the originally folded boxy silk cloth spread out in an instant, and the squeezed brocade box was full.
Although the full picture is not seen, the frenulum at the top indicates its identity.
Li Yu snapped the brocade box on the cover, and a stream of hot air rushed directly from his neck to the root of his ear.
The brocade box in his hand also seemed to catch fire in an instant, burning from the palm of his hand to the tip of his heart.
Two curious eyes looked over, Li Yu calmed down, looked at the wooden shopkeeper, and said coldly: "Have you ever opened this brocade box?" ”
His eyes were too sharp, and the wooden shopkeeper was all around, and hurriedly said, "No!" Miss Xie specially instructed that this brocade box can only be opened by the master, and others can't take a look! ”
Xiao Quanzi said curiously when he heard this: "Master, ...... in this brocade box"
Before he finished speaking, Li Yu looked at him with a threatening gaze, and he immediately shut up in fright.
Li Yu lowered his eyes and looked at the hot brocade box in his hand, and for a while, he didn't lose it.
The irrepressible heat finally climbed up his cheeks, and he randomly stuffed the brocade box into his sleeve, picked up the herbal tea on the table and drank it all.
Xiao Quanzi realized that his grandfather was blushing.
Not only the face, but also the roots of the ears and neck are red, what a real spectacle!
No one knows better than him what kind of character his own father is, let alone blushing, even joy, anger and sorrow are not common.
This is no longer as simple as an abnormality, this is simply a red rain in the sky!
Xiao Quanzi found it, and the wooden shopkeeper naturally found it.
Although he said that he only followed after Li Yu established the mansion, but it has been many years, what kind of character his master is, he knows it very well in his heart, and now looking at Li Yu with a red face, drinking herbal tea cup after cup, he can't help but admire Xie Wan a little.
His mind moved, and he said tentatively: "Master, but Miss Xie's thank you gift is not appropriate?" Do you need a slave to return it? ”
Li Yu held the hand of the cup for a moment, and was silent for a while before squeezing out two words from between his teeth: "No need!" ”
Xiao Quanzi and the wooden shopkeeper glanced at each other, and their eyes were clear.
Xiao Quanzi coughed lightly: "That...... If Miss Xie asks the wooden shopkeeper tomorrow, how should the wooden shopkeeper reply? ”
"She won't ask." Li Yu put down the teacup, looked at him and the wooden shopkeeper and said coldly, "You guys stand down." ”
The wooden shopkeeper and Xiao Quanzi glanced at each other, bowed and retreated.
The two of them walked out of the study and walked far away, and Xiao Quanzi asked in a low voice: "Wooden shopkeeper, do you know what is in that brocade box?" Did you provoke such a gaffe? ”
Thinking of Xie Wan's advice when she handed over the brocade box to him, as well as the words of the private thing, as a wooden shopkeeper who has been married to a wife and had children for many years, there is already a vague conjecture in his heart.
He smiled: "It's true that I've never seen anything inside, but I can probably guess a few points, not because I didn't say it to my father-in-law, but I said it with my father-in-law, and my father-in-law didn't understand it." I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave. ”
Small Quanzi: ......
When the sun set, Xie Lin came to be his little master as usual.
Xie Wan accompanied him, shaking her head again, and after reading it, she couldn't help but say: "Lin'er, is there a possibility, in fact, if you don't shake your head, this book can also be read." ”
Xie Lin's small brows furrowed when he heard this, he put his hands behind his back, and his immature little face was full of seriousness: "Are you questioning Master Ben?" ”
Xie Wan: ......
She said helplessly: "Okay, you are the master, you have the final say." ”
Hearing this, Xie Lin nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hand and knocked on the table: "You study your homework well, tomorrow the Japanese master will test you." If you can't pass the test, you will be punished! ”
Xie Lin was only three and a half years old, and he obviously didn't say it himself.
Xie Wan frowned: "Your master, is he so strict with you?" ”
Xie Lin nodded: "The master said, I am the Hou Ye, and the requirements for me and others are naturally different. ”
In fact, in Xie Wan's opinion, three and a half years old is still a kindergarten class, and there is no need for any learning pressure at all, but everything depends on the environment.
If she hadn't been so lazy and pushed the picture out, her childhood would have been miserable.
Xie Wan rubbed Xie Lin's little head sympathetically: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
"It's not hard." Xie Lin raised his little head and looked proud: "Master said, the more powerful I am, the more no one dares to bully Sister A." ”
Xie Lin's master was personally found by Xie Wan, and the son who fell off the list in the spring of last year was named Shu Ji.
He is very talented and learned, and he is quite famous among students, and he should have been named on the gold list, but because his words were too intense, he failed to make the list.
After falling off the list, many dignitaries and nobles in the DPRK and China threw olive branches to him, wanting to include him in the door, after all, according to his talent and learning, he will stay until the next Spring Festival, and he will definitely be named on the gold list.
But Shu Ji rejected them all, using the reason that it was useless.
Xie Wan was also able to clear the Hou Mansion at that time, and on the way back from collecting rent, he heard a powerful official scolding him for not knowing what to do, so even if his mind moved, he abducted someone into the mansion to be Xie Lin's master.
Why is it a crutche?
Because Xie Wan made a bet with him, betting that he would be swept away from the inn that night, and there would be no place for him to stay in the entire capital.
