Chapter 5 Watching
Zhijing shook the fan and was complaining, "It's August. Why is it still so hot?! Heaven has changed, and people's hearts are not old!"
Mr. Lin closed the folding fan, looked at Li Xiaoyao who lifted the curtain and entered, and said with a gentle smile, "Xiaoyao looks much better than last time. Is she better?"
"Mr. Xie Lin, it's much better." Li Xiaoyao said, put the two plates of dates in the tray on the table and pushed them in front of them. Zhijing looked at the plate pushed in front of them and praised in surprise, "I haven't seen you for a few days. Xiaoyao's dates are better than before. This plate is well matched. Such a wrapped silk kiln plate with this red dates is very elegant!"
Mr. Lin also nodded and praised. Li Xiaoyao smiled and bent his eyes, "Thank you for your praise. I also feel good."
Zhijing laughed and pointed to Li Xiaoyao with a fan, "I just like her. She is simple and funny. How many dates are there today? Bring them all over and let these people buy them all. You sit down and let's have tea and talk together.
Li Xiaoyao looked regretful, "It's all sold out, so I left these two dishes of filial piety to the two gentlemen. Unfortunately, if I had known that I would have taken a few more pounds, wouldn't I have sold tomorrow's too?"
"If you are willing, you can sell me everything next year." Mr. Lin raised his eyebrows gently and said with a smile. Li Xiaoyao sat down with a smile.
"That's all, I don't dare. Who doesn't know that my husband is a foreigner and never wants to provoke copper stench. If I take advantage of my husband, on the one thing, I will feel uneasy. Second, isn't this the same as cheating my husband? Those scholars and so on, one by one, have to drown me!"
Zhijing looked at Mr. Lin with a smile. Li Xiaoyao picked up the cup in front of him and tasted tea with his face full of enjoyment. Mr. Lin slowly shook the folding fan and looked at Li Xiaoyao and asked, "Xiaoyao, when are you going to sell this jujube? Do you have any plans in the future?"
"Yes!" Li Xiaoyao put down the cup, nodded and said seriously, "It's not a long-term way to sell dates here. I won't sell them for a while. I have saved a few taels of silver. If I save more, I will open a fruit store with my brother, specialize in selling donkey-hide gelatin dates, earn capital, and then do other business."
"If you want to open a fruit, I'll give you the capital. How long do you have to save one or two halves like this?" Mr. Lin frowned slightly and said, Li Xiaoyao looked at him and shook his head solemnly: "I know that you are good, but I want to do business by myself. If I use your capital, I will become your stew. If you lend me money, how can I repay you in the future? The difference between my husband and Tianyuan is that in the next life, in the next life, my husband will not have anything to repay. There is no way to repay the great kindness. Xiaoyao doesn't want to owe.
Mr. Lin sighed long, leaned back to the back of the chair, lit Xiaoyao and Zhijing with a fan and said, "Look, you are very stubborn."
"She is extremely intelligent, because she is rare." Zhijing shook Pu Fan and said. Mr. Lin narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded with a smile. Li Xiaoyao lowered his head and drank tea attentively. The first time he saw her, he wanted to buy her back. That look, this thought, this kind of unfailable advantage, she had seen a lot in her last life. What a smart hair!
Li Xiaoyao drank tea and talked with them for a while. Seeing that Liu came in with vegetables, he stood up to help arrange the dishes. He took half a step back and retreated with a smile and said, "Two gentlemen, take your time. I heard that this bowl Buddha jumped over the wall. I wanted it. Yesterday, I didn't let others put it on the bell head. The hand was burned by one person, just waiting for the two gentlemen to say the word 'good', and I don't know how happy it is.
Mr. Lin motioned to the middle-aged man standing at the door: "Take the dates and leave. You can't eat your food for nothing."
"These two plates of dates are filial piety. Thank you, Mr. Zhijing, for your care."
Mr. Lin's eyebrows moved. Zhijing glanced at him, turned his head to look at Li Xiaoyao, and said with a cheerful smile, "He is a good boy, and the gentleman doesn't eat your dates for nothing. Princess Funing will get married the day after tomorrow. It's a very lively thing. Mr. Lin and I booked a seat in Yicheng Building to watch the fun. You can also come here. Let's see the most in the world. It's a big event."
Li Xiaoyao's eyes lit up. Su Zicheng, the second son of the emperor of Beiping, is coming to marry Princess Funing. This is the biggest gossip topic in Taiping Mansion in the past six months. In the alleys, he found all kinds of things that the princess had married in the past and imagined the grand occasion of Princess Funing's marriage. This Princess Funing was made by Wu Guifei and was the most favored by the emperor. It's Su Zicheng, the second son of the emperor of Beiping. Su Zicheng and Funing are about the same age. It is said that they are handsome and talented in literature and martial arts. In short, there is nothing wrong. The door is right. She doesn't know how luxurious and lively it will be. It's a serious once-year-old encounter. She has long wanted to see it. Li Xiaoyao nodded excitedly and agreed. He withdrew from Yajian with a smile on his face.
Zhijing watched Li Xiaoyao go out of the door, picked up her chopsticks and picked up a piece of beef tendon from the bowl and ate it. She nodded with satisfaction, turned her head to look at Mr. Lin, who was a little depressed, and persuaded her, "I can't wait. This girl is intelligent and transparent. Since she is extraordinary, she naturally needs to think more."
"Well," Mr. Lin slowly drank two spoonfuls of soup, sighed, turned his head to look at Zhijing, and said a little lingeringly, "It's not right for Su Zicheng to marry Funing with such a big fanfare. Look, the front is General Yuan, and this time it's Song Gongsheng. They are all the good generals of the State of Wu. Who's next? Question mark General Zhang? Or General Wen? Isn't there a clear-sighted person in the court? The brothers of Beiping are ambitious!"
Zhijing motioned to the long follower standing at the door. Mr. Lin waved his hand anxiously, "This is not something that can't be said. My uncle and I also told this the day before yesterday. Alas, the hand in the palace stretched out to stir up the court, not a blessing!"
"It's a blessing or a curse. Heaven has long been doomed. After all, your mood is much worse."
"Forget it, don't mention this annoyance. If this girl is willing, I will take her to the former residence. If she doesn't come out, she will be accompanied by this broken interpretation flower, how free!"
Zhi quietly looked at him and focused on eating the bowl Buddha jumping over the wall. The two didn't eat much, so they went out of the elegant room. Mr. Lin waved to the shopkeeper Zheng and ordered with a cold face, "If anyone dares to hit Xiaoyao, let someone tell me immediately."
Shopkeeper Zheng was stunned and was about to bow down to agree. Mr. Lin continued to say, "Come to my house and tell the porter that there is something to report to Changfeng Building."
Shopkeeper Zheng hurriedly agreed with a smile, "Master Lin, don't worry, there were a few of them a while ago. The little one said Master Zhijing's words, and they were all blocked back."
"Hmm." Mr. Lin shook the folding fan and went out to get on the horse. Manager Zheng looked straight at the group of people going far away before straightening up and wiped his sweat. It was not a good thing for the little one to be born too well.
After dinner, Li Xiaoyao took the three people and went to Xiwazi, the nearest state, to see the miscellaneous class. Li Erhuai strongly agreed and went out with the younger sister. They always had delicious food. The four people closed the door and went out, turned around a few alleys, entered the state Xiwazi, and looked at the miscellaneous class. Li Xiaoyao was bored and accompanied the three for a long time. Pu, I went to the night market again, ate roasted badger meat, enema, fried clams, and another person bought a vegetable cake. Li Xiaoyao had been too much to eat for a long time. After a bite, he gave the cake to Erhuai. Those who came from Erhuai did not refuse. It seemed that he never knew how to be full.
At the end of the game, Li Xiaoyao bought a bag of lion candy for Erhuai to carry. The last time she flattered Lady Wen, and this time she had to buy it again to make up for it. The group looked at the time, simply turned to Changfeng Building, picked up Li Zonggui, and then went back to the miscellaneous courtyard together.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Liu Er squatting at the door, holding a pot in one hand and a cup in the other. He was drinking by himself through the light in the room. He drank and scolding for about a while, and his tongue was a little stiff: "•••••• That man doesn't pee and look in the mirror, just wants to hit my daughter's idea! Pooh! There is not even a room. Let our family drink the northwest wind with you? Pooh! What do you deserve to die as soon as possible?! A stinky man! Not a lot of money! •••••”
Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng pushed Li Erhuai and Li Zonggui, who were full of interest in watching the lively: "Go into the house!"
Li Xiaoyao was pulled into the room by Wei Shuisheng and looked around, trying to find who was the person who wanted to look in the mirror.
Several people entered the house. Li Erhuai put down the sugar and was busy boiling water. The youngest sister had to take a shower every day and everyone had to wash it. At least she had to wash her feet, but she had to boil a lot of hot water.
Li Xiaoyao stood in the room and turned around half a circle, reached out to untie the lion candy and took it out: "Brother, I'll send some sugar to Grandma Shen."
"It's late. Grandma Shen should go to bed. Let's send it tomorrow."
"I just came in and saw the light on in Mrs. Shen's room. Besides, I also want to see if the bag with mezzanine is ready. I'm in a hurry to use it."
Wei Shuisheng looked at Li Xiaoyao with a clear face. Li Zongliang looked at Li Xiaoyao helplessly and ordered, "Go back quickly and don't ask about anything."
"I know." Li Xiaoyao jumped to the next door with candy in his hand and shouted 'Grandma Shen' close to the crack of the door. Mrs. Shen hurried over and opened the door and let Li Xiaoyao in. Li Xiaoyao put the sugar on the table and said with a smile, "Grandma, the eldest brother bought me candy today. Let's eat it together."
Mrs. Shen's face was full of smiles, "Since our little sister moved in, my old lady has been blessed!"
Li Xiaoyao smiled and said a few words to Mrs. Shen, listened to Liu Er's drunken scolding outside, and curiously asked, "Grandma, is this second uncle Liu scolding Mrs. Liu again? Mrs. Liu should cry in the room again.
"It's not Mrs. Liu who scolded this time."
