Happy Little Scholar

"Such a big place, all ours?"

Lin Yong was not used to the feeling of watching a theater in a private room. He looked at the stage below, looked around, and found that there were no other guests except them. There were various fruits and cakes on the table in front of him. He asked uncertainly.

Lao Fang patted his shoulder, took a pear from the table and took a bite, and said, "Don't watch, no one else will come in."

Li Yi had no intention of booking the theater, but the play that Lin Wanru ordered just now was not scheduled today, so it could only be temporarily added. Li Yi did not tell her. Anyway, it was his own brothel, and it was okay to be a little extravagant occasionally...

Lin Wanru took a sip of tea and looked at the stage below, but her mind was not there.

She knew a lot about him a long time ago.

The first talent of Jingguo, the favorite of the emperor, was promoted from a commoner to an official and noble before the age of twenty, and his glory was unparalleled.

If it weren't for the experience in Qi more than half a year ago, with their identities, status or positions, they might never meet, let alone what happened before.

Originally, she thought that the distance between her and the accountant who was proficient in mathematics and had a unique understanding of business was very close.

But then the appearance of the third prince finally made her understand what kind of unbridgeable gap there was between the two of them.

After arriving in Kyoto, in less than a day, she heard more about him.

He was more powerful than she thought, and made her realize that it was no longer half a year ago. One was a foreign merchant and the other was the youngest prince of Jing. Maybe even if they met, there would be nothing to say between the two.

However, this idea was completely overturned when she saw him.

Everything seemed to be not much different from half a year ago.

And at this moment, after learning about these things, she unexpectedly felt that the distance between the two seemed to be much closer than before.

It was as if they suddenly had a common language again, just like half a year ago...

Li Yi turned to look at Lin Wanru and asked, "You just said that the Lin family wants to get involved in industries other than jewelry. Do you really have this plan?"

Lin Wanru nodded and said, "We started preparing a few months ago. This time I came to Jingguo, I originally wanted to see more and learn more. I thought that if we could cooperate on perfumes and ready-made clothes, it would be the best, but I didn't expect..."

She looked at Li Yi and shook her head, "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."

"In fact, a few days ago, I also thought that Jingguo's business would eventually become saturated, and I also had the idea of ​​expanding these businesses to Qiguo, but after all, it is a neighboring country, and the relationship between the two countries is so tense. If our Jingguo merchants go there, I'm afraid they will encounter many troublesome obstacles..." He looked at Lin Wanru and hesitated.

"Why not..."

"Why not..."

The two spoke almost at the same time, and were stunned at the same time. When they looked at each other, they both understood each other's thoughts.

"Happy cooperation." Li Yi smiled and stretched out his hand, and Lin Wanru also stretched out her hand without hesitation.

"From now on, we are a family..."

"So soon?" Old Fang's eyes widened, looking at this scene in disbelief.

The two figures who had just walked into the door of the private room stopped, and as if Ruoqing's eyes were puzzled, Zeng Zuimo's eyes stayed on the two of them for a moment, and whispered: "Did I disturb you?"

Li Yi and Lin Wanru turned their heads, slightly startled, and then naturally loosened their hands.

He shook his head, his expression sincere, and said: "No, of course not."

Lin Wanru looked at him, then looked at the two women opposite, and asked: "These two girls..."

Li Yi stood up, introduced the two women to her, and then said: "This is Lin Wanru, Miss Lin."

The three women nodded slightly, Zeng Zuimo looked at them and said: "We just came to take a look, we won't disturb you to listen to the opera."

She swept her eyes over Li Yi, and then smiled and retreated.

"Sorry, I'll leave you for a moment." Li Yi naturally saw her meaningful eyes, smiled apologetically at Lin Wanru, and immediately followed her out.

Lin Wanru looked at the back figure that disappeared at the door, and a trace of thought appeared between her brows.

Lao Fang stood aside, looking at the doubts and thoughts between her brows, and shook his head slightly.

In a small building somewhere in the brothel, in the room on the second floor, seeing Li Yi walk in, Wan Ruoqing quietly withdrew and gently closed the door.

The goddess of Luoshui was flipping through a picture album, and Li Yi explained: "This Miss Lin..."

"You don't need to explain anything." Zeng Zuimo rolled his eyes at him and said, "Anyway, it has nothing to do with me."

Li Yi sat beside her and said, "Why has it nothing to do with you? If it weren't for Miss Lin, you wouldn't have seen me a long time ago."

"Ah?" Doubts and worries immediately appeared on her face, "Why, what happened?"

Li Yi briefly told her what happened in Qi State. If it weren't for her, he and Miss Liu would have been in a much more dangerous situation.

"What about the family you just mentioned?"

"Miss Lin's family is in business. This time I plan to sell perfumes and ready-made clothes to Qi State. I can only cooperate with Miss Lin. In the future, the two families will benefit each other. What else can we be but a family?"

"Then why, why did you hold hands?"

"That's a kind of etiquette, indicating that the cooperation has been reached..., and besides, Lao Fang is still next to him, how could it be what you think..."

Zeng Zuimo glanced at him and said, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier..."

"You didn't give me a chance just now..." Li Yi looked at her and asked with a smile, "What's wrong, are you jealous?"

She rolled her eyes at him again, "Who is jealous?"

"Don't worry, the relationship between Miss Lin and me is still pure, not what you think." Li Yi put his arm around her shoulders and said, "But I like the way you are jealous..."

"I'm not..." Her face flushed a little, and then she seemed to remember something, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Oh no, she is your savior, was I a little rude just now..."

"You still know you are rude..."

"I thought, I thought you... Oh, anyway, it's all your fault!" She glared at Li Yi and then ran out quickly.

Li Yi shook his head. She must have gone to cultivate feelings with Miss Lin at this moment, and it was not appropriate for him to appear.

The Lin family is undoubtedly the best partner for the development of business in Qi State. However, the specific cooperation method needs to be discussed slowly, but at least the two have reached an agreement on this. There is a long way to go. She will stay in Kyoto for a long time, so there is enough time to discuss.

There is paper and pen on the table in the room. Nothing to do, he walked over and sat down, ready to record some preliminary ideas first.

This is Wan Ruoqing's room. The room is simple and tidy. There is a thick stack of books on the table, most of which are scripts. On the open page, there are her annotations.

The pleasing hairpin flower small regular script is like her. At first glance, it gives people a sense of elegance.

The annotation ink is not dry yet, so it cannot be closed directly. There is no extra space on the table. Li Yi looked around and couldn't find a place. He had to open the drawer beside the table and put the open book horizontally in it. The size is just right.

When closing the drawer, his hand movement paused, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He took the book out again.

In the drawer, besides the book he took out, there was only a thick booklet and some yellowed paper underneath it.

Li Yi subconsciously stretched out his hand, but stopped in mid-air.

The thing that she put in the drawer alone might be something very secret or important. She just moved other people's things without their consent...

It seems, maybe, probably - it's not good, right?
