capital girl

Chapter 68

Li Yulou returned to the dock where he placed his salute.

"Have you found the carriage?
"Zhang Xiulan asked eagerly.

When she first came to Kyoto, she didn't have a horse-drawn carriage, and she encountered a cold and rainy day, which made her experience of Kyoto very bad for the first time. She had already started thinking about going back to Xiuzhou.

"Shiyu is here, he is looking for a carriage, and he will be here soon.

" Li Yulou explained.

"Shiyu is here?" Zhang Xiulan showed an excited smile on her face, she seemed to be more indifferent to Meng Shiyu than Li Yulou.

Li Xu looked even more embarrassed, and was a little dissatisfied with Meng Shiyu. Wasn't this deliberately embarrassing him?
Originally, the future son-in-law's exams had crushed him to pieces, but now he was crushed again in the hearts of his family, where should he put his face as the head of the family?
Meng Shiyu quickly found the carriage.

Put the salute first, Li Yulou and Zhang Xiulan got into the carriage, there was no room for another person in the carriage, the others had to go to the city in the bullock cart.

Meng Shiyu rode behind the carriage, and Li Yulou lifted the curtain to look out from time to time.

After a few months of separation, the boy was both strange and kind in her eyes.

"Okay, we can meet every day after we settle down, and we don't have a rule that we can't meet before we get married." Zhang Xiulan pulled Li Yulou and said.

A mist of embarrassment rose from Li Yulou's cheeks.

Fortunately, Li Xu rented a small courtyard with two entrances.He lives with Zhang Xiulan in the main house in the front, and there are two small courtyards in the back: Li Yulou and Li Yukun each have a room.There is an inverted house in front, and there are two wing rooms on both sides of the main house to accommodate people.

"Master isn't so unreliable..." Chun Tao looked at her and Li Yulou's small courtyard with a satisfied smile.

Li Yulou hummed, but didn't hold out much hope.

It often rains in Xiuzhou, and Li Yulou is not that resistant to rainy days, but she feels that the roof is not very strong.

Li Yulou didn't stay long, put down his things and ran to the front yard.

Meng Shiyu had just said goodbye to Zhang Xiulan and Li Xu and was about to leave.

Li Yulou followed behind Meng Shiyu and sent him out the door.

Meng Shiyu stopped and turned to look at her.Li Yulou drooped his brows slightly, his eyelashes glistened with fine drops of water, like fine silver powder spread on his upper eyelids.

The girl pursed her lips slightly, her cheeks were reddish, she clasped her hands without holding a handkerchief, her slightly shy expression made people unable to take their eyes off her.

"I'm leaving first, you rest first. I'll come to you in two days." Meng Shiyu said.

"Why is it two days?" Li Yulou looked up at Meng Shiyu's bright eyes and asked.

After asking, I felt embarrassed again, and continued to lower my eyebrows, not daring to look at the boy's inquiring expression.

"I'm going to enter the palace tomorrow..." Meng Shiyu said.

Li Yulou nodded without thinking too much, "That's good..."

When Meng Shiyu left, Li Yulou turned back to the yard after watching the boy's back disappear completely.

"Father, why did Shi Yu enter the palace tomorrow?" Li Yulou asked when he saw Li Xu.

Li Xu stared at his daughter, a little annoyed, this was to embarrass him on purpose.

"Shi Yu won the number one scholar, and tomorrow I will enter the palace to face the Holy Spirit and go to the Ziji Hall..." Zhang Xiulan said with a smile as she tapped the dust on the stone at the door with a broom.

"Oh..." Li Yulou tapped her forehead hard, since she saw Meng Shiyu, she forgot about it, her mind went blank and she didn't know how to think.In the palace examination, Shi Yu's palace examination was No. 1 again, she was the number one scholar, and her husband was the number one scholar.

But what's the use of chasing her out, Meng Shiyu is nowhere to be seen.

He made a special trip to pick her up at the pier and even found a carriage for her, but she didn't even say thank you.

"Father, what else does the number one scholar want to do besides meeting the saint?" Li Yulou ran back and asked Li Xu's hand.

The adoptive daughter is outward, this daughter is full of that brat.

"There is still a parade, and there will be a banquet tonight..." Li Xu said, his mouth could not help but feel sour.

"That's great..." Li Yulou had a proud smile on his face.

She didn't see Li Xu's sourness and sadness at all.

"I have to embroider a purse for Shi Yu..." After Li Yulou finished speaking, he let go of Li Xu's hand and ran to the backyard.

Although the rain was not heavy, it kept on going.The Li family cleaned up late, and fell asleep after eating a little.

"Miss, it's raining!" Chuntao said bitterly as she stood in front of Li Yulou's window with her back and pillows in her arms after waking up from the rain.

"Why is it leaking?" Li Yulou put on a piece of clothing, took off his shoes and went outside to have a look.

Sure enough, the rain was dripping on the roof, which seemed to be heavier than the rain outside.

"Sleep with me..." Li Yulou had nothing to say to his father.

"Master is still unreliable." After going to bed, Chuntao turned over and muttered to Li Yulou.

Li Yulou patted Chuntao's shoulder lightly, comfortingly said, "I'll go up and have a look tomorrow, sleep first!"

Fortunately, the rain that had rained all day finally stopped the next morning, and the sun peeked out from the clouds, which was extraordinarily glaring.

Li Yu went upstairs to check the situation and found that there was a pit on the roof, and the rainwater accumulated in it and leaked slowly.

Li Yulou had to repair the roof again.

It's just that the roofs in Kyoto are different from those in Xiuzhou. The roofs here are covered with mud.She took a little soil and studied it, and found that besides the soil itself, there were some impurities such as hay in the mud.

So Li Yulou tried to stir up some impurities and transport the mud to the roof to repair the roof.

When Meng Shiyu and Zhou Hong walked to the backyard, they saw Li Yulou rolling up his trouser legs, revealing half of his calves, and rolling up his sleeves to reveal half of his snow-white arms repairing the roof.

"Ah, this..." Zhou Hong was a little embarrassed for a while.

Hearing the voice, Li Yulou turned around and saw that it was Meng Shiyu and Zhou Hong. He panicked, his feet slipped, and he lay down on his back.

The person also flew down from the roof, the skirt loosened from the waist like a pink petal falling from the treetop.

Meng Shiyu reached out to catch Li Yulou's wrist, then grabbed Li Yulou's waist with the other hand, and put him firmly on the ground.

The moment Zhou Hong saw Li Yulou fall, he turned around and closed his eyes, not daring to look any further.

"Shiyu, you, why are you here, today is not..." Li Yulou panicked and covered his face with his hands, this time he was healed, all the mud on his hands rubbed against his face.

With a scream, Li Yulou ran back to the room with her skirt in hand, and closed the door.

"Brother Shi Yu, Brother Zhou Hong, why are you here?" Li Yukun happily ran to the backyard to greet the two of them.

"us……"

"You are a man, how can you let your sister go up to repair the roof?" Meng Shiyu asked coldly.

Meng Shiyu's questioning made Li Yukun confused.

"What are you looking at, go up..." Meng Shiyu pointed at the roof and said sharply.

"It's usually done by her, but I don't know how to do it..." Li Yukun turned to run, but Meng Shiyu grabbed his arm, and then held his belt with the other hand. Immediately afterwards, Li Yukun flew up to the roof.
