Pastoral Master

Chapter 37 A small profit

Fortunately, Yan Ruxue's efforts were not in vain. Although the mooncakes were not sold out, they were sold for nearly 100 yuan, which means that they made nearly a tael of silver today!
When Yan Chen came back, it was already lunch time. Seeing Yan Ruxue sitting in the shop rubbing her arms and legs, she hurriedly stepped forward to help Yan Ruxue press her neck. "Sister, are you tired, I'll give you a massage!"

Yan Chen's hand was strong, pressing Yan Ruxue very comfortably, he couldn't help closing his eyes. "My Chen'er has grown up, and now I think of your naughty appearance when I was a child, it seems that it is still the same as yesterday, but in a blink of an eye, you are taller than me!"

Hearing Yan Ruxue mention things about her childhood, Yan Chen couldn't help but smile too. "I made my sister worry about it before!"

Yan Ruxue enjoyed Yan Chen's massage, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if recalling many good things...

*************
Li Yi's other courtyard was full of chickens and dogs at the moment, Li Yi fled back and forth among the flowers and rockery in the back garden, soldiers and servants surrounded him trying to catch him, Li Yi stood on the corridor He watched everything that happened in the garden coldly.

The circle in which Li Yao could escape became smaller and smaller. When he saw the culprit standing in the corridor, he immediately shouted in a small voice. "Surnamed Li, don't bully me just because grandma isn't here. If you have the ability, you can kill me today. As long as you can't beat me to death, then I will definitely write to grandma tomorrow!"

Li Yi closed his eyes and snorted coldly. "Okay, let me see if there is no one to send you a letter without me!" Then he ordered loudly. "Catch him and send him to the small ancestral hall!"

Hearing Li Yi said that he was going to the small ancestral hall, Li Yao ran even faster. "You devil, you wait for me, when I grow up, you see how I can cure you!"

Li Yi sneered. "Want to cure me? Good! I'll wait!"

After a while, Li Yao was finally caught. Li Yi mercilessly took him to the small ancestral hall, repaired him heavily with special rattan, and finally, Li Yao was carried back to his room of.

At noon, the maid delivered the lunch to Li Yao's room.

"Take it away, I don't want to eat it. Didn't he want to beat me to death? I've fulfilled his wish, and I'll just starve to death!" Li Yao said angrily while lying on the couch.

"Young master! Eat as much as you want!" The servant girl was very embarrassed. In her opinion, the prince was too strict. After all, the young master is only five years old this year!

She has taken care of this little son since he was a child, and she understands his character best. In fact, Li Yao admires his father very much. Originally, he followed his father to the border happily, thinking that from now on, he would be able to spend more time with his father. We got along, but after coming here, the prince still doesn't care about the young master, and the young master doesn't know why he suddenly became so naughty.

"If you say you don't want to eat, you don't want to eat!" Li Yao got under the quilt with a sullen head.

"Little boy..."

The servant girl repeatedly tried to persuade her, but it was useless, so she had no choice but to report it to Li Yi.

At this time, Li Yi was playing chess with Li Qi in the study, and Li Yi frowned when he heard the servant girl's report. "Don't worry about him, he won't starve to death if he doesn't eat for one or two meals! He can do things like beating his master in the academy, and it really embarrasses our Li family to say it!"

Li Zhi, who was playing chess in meditation, let out a low sigh. "Brother, in fact, you are too strict with Xiao'er. After all, he is only five years old, and he has been spoiled by his mother since he was a child. If you suddenly treat him so harshly, he may not be able to bear it!"

Li Yi disagrees. "Didn't you and I come here like this back then! You and I can bear it, why can't he, as Li Jiaerlang, we can't bear this kind of hardship, how can we be worthy of a heavy responsibility in the future!"

Li Yu wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li Yi. "I know you want to say that you and I have been trained by our father since we were young, and he was pampered and raised by his mother, but some things have to start!"

*************
When the old lady Qin came out after finishing the meal, she saw the two siblings sitting and talking, and she couldn't help laughing. Although the two siblings are not real siblings, they are better than the real siblings. At this scene, the old lady Qin couldn't help thinking of herself, and sighed softly, if only she could have such a trustworthy person!

Although she couldn't bear to break the beautiful scene in front of her eyes, the old lady Qin still spoke when she saw the food that was getting cold. "Get ready for dinner, we won't set up a stall in the afternoon, let's have a good rest, and our family of three will have a good holiday in the evening!"

a family of three!Yan Chen and Yan Ruxue were shocked at the same time. Last year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, they were a family of four celebrating the festival together, but this year they are the only two siblings left, and they even sold their ancestral house!
Seeing the sad expressions on the faces of the siblings, Mrs. Qin knew she had said something wrong, curled her lips, and went to the kitchen to bring out two more dishes.

Yan Ruxue swallowed the bitterness in her mouth, stood up and patted Yan Chen's shoulder. "Chen'er, let's eat!"

Yan Chen smiled wryly. "it is good!"

Both of them swallowed the pain in their hearts by coincidence, and sat down at the dinner table with forced smiles. The old lady Qin also got mixed up, and the host and the west chatted and laughed.

In the evening, the three of them watched the moon in Mrs. Qin's yard and ate the leftover mooncakes in the morning, which was quite pleasant. After eating the mooncakes and washing up, Yan Ruxue sat on the wooden bed and counted the things that were available at home and the things that needed to be planned. After getting up, the weather is getting colder, she and Yan Chen don't have any winter clothes yet, and the quilts need to be bought.

The 100 taels of silver that the prince sent her was spent by ten taels, and there were still 90 taels left, plus the original ones at home still had a hundred and ten taels. For clothes and quilts, the prince also sent a lot of fabrics, but it’s a pity Although she understands it, she is not good at it. She still can't do so many things overnight, not to mention that she has to copy books, and the time is even more insufficient!

Suddenly, Yan Ruxue thought of someone, and acted as soon as he thought of it, Yan Ruxue immediately picked up some pieces of fabric and went to Old Madam Qin's wing.

"Knock, knock, knock!" Yan Ruxue knocked lightly three times.

"Who is it!" Mrs. Qin had obviously fallen asleep, and there was a trace of sleepiness in her voice.

"Grandma, are you asleep yet?" Yan Ruxue felt a little abrupt, she thought she would come out as soon as she came out, but she forgot that Mrs. Qin was old after all, she must be tired after a busy day!
"Not yet!" Mrs. Qin replied. "Come in! The door is unlocked!"

Yan Ruxue pushed the door and entered. This was the first time she had entered Mrs. Qin's room. As soon as she entered the door, she was greeted with a soothing scent of sandalwood. What caught her eye was a red sandalwood screen embroidered on both sides. Yan Ruxue was startled. Although the Yan family had some money, the Yan family still couldn't afford such a screen!
