Happy Little Scholar

"Second Miss, it was all my fault that day. Don't blame me anymore..."

Xiaohuan came over with tears in her eyes, hugged Miss Liu Er's arm, shook it, and said pitifully.

This was the first time she took the initiative to approach Miss Liu Er in the past two days.

Miss Liu Er looked back and asked, "Why should I blame him?"

"I saw it. You made me cry!"

The little maid wiped her tears and said: "Second Miss, if you want to blame, just blame me. You can hit me or scold me. I..., I have never seen my uncle cry..."

Miss Liu Er looked back again, with a little hesitation on her pretty face.

It was just a small gift given to him casually, but was it moved to tears?

With this thought in her mind, she suddenly realized that it seemed that she had never given him anything decent... It seemed that she had never given him anything decent.

She looked at Xiaohuan and suddenly asked: "Am I usually very bad to him?"

The little maid nodded, and Miss Liu Er frowned slightly.

She quickly shook her head, and Miss Liu Er's eyebrows relaxed slightly.

"It's not very bad, it's very, very, very bad..."

…

In two days, it will officially be the fourth year of Jinghe. This year's New Year's Eve will be very lively. The old lady has already said that it is the honor of the young master of the Li family to spend this year here.

In addition, because Lin Wanru was kind to him and Miss Liu Er, Ruyi now regarded her as half of her family and would naturally let her participate in the reunion banquet at night.

Coupled with the Dragon Boat Festival family, this year's New Year's Eve is naturally different from the previous one for their family of four.

Li Yi lay in the yard basking in the sun. After two days, his mood was not affected much anymore. He began to read the contents of the note word by word.

Miss Liu Er walked out of the room, raised her hand, and something flew over.

After Li Yi reached out to catch it, he was slightly startled. This was actually an apple, and it was peeled...

He didn't quite understand what Miss Liu Er meant. She gave him a peeled apple. Did she mean... to peel him?

It seems that except for hiding that thing from her recently and accidentally breaking into her room while she was taking a shower, there is nothing to offend her, right?

Miss Liu Er glanced at him and said calmly: "An apple a day... is good for the body."

Li Yi stood up from the rocking chair, looked at her a little warily, and said, "If you have anything to do, just tell me."

Miss Liu Er frowned and looked at him: "What do you mean?"

"Is everything okay?" Li Yi glanced at her suspiciously, "Is this apple poisonous, or... did you put laxative on it?"

"Forget it if you don't want to eat!"

Miss Liu Er snatched the apple from his hand, took a bite of it, and turned around to leave without looking back.

She is always courteous for nothing, but is either a traitor or a thief. Especially Miss Liu Er, she would actually peel an apple for him with her own hands. If she had no other motives, she would not believe it even if she beat him to death.

Fortunately, he has seen through everything...

Li Yi curled his lips, then looked up and murmured: "It should be almost done."

…

Somewhere in Kyoto.

"Girl, I took the script from yesterday..."

"I've already read it, and I've marked all the places that need to be changed. After you've made the changes, just show it to Mr. Sun."

"Girl, they asked us to arrange more scenes of righteous heroes and knights..."

"Go and tell them, arrangements are already being made."

"Mr. Wu from the north of the city accidentally fell off the stage yesterday and was slightly injured..."

"Mr. Wu has been very prestigious in the Goulan circle in Kyoto before. Go and see for yourself, remember to pay some money from the account, don't go empty-handed..."

…

It was noon when Wan Ruoqing walked out of the hook fence. In fact, she had formed the habit of eating at this time. She habitually forgot to glance in a certain direction. When she saw a figure walking over there, she was slightly moved. Startled.

"What a coincidence." Li Yi looked at her and said with a smile: "I went to a few shops this morning. When I passed by the porridge shop over there, I bought some porridge. Have you eaten it? Do you want to eat it together? point?"

"Not yet. Not yet."

It was just a habitual action. I never thought that he would really appear from there. After Wan Ruoqing came back to his senses, he nodded slightly.

Li Yi nodded and said: "That's just right, let's go up and eat some together. When I bought it just now, I accidentally bought too much..."

Above the attic on the second floor of the small building.

Wan Ruoqing looked at the porridge and vegetables on the table and wondered, "Why did you buy so much?"

Li Yi was startled for a moment, then looked back at Lao Fang and said, "I even bought his portion, but I didn't know he had already eaten it. It's a lot for one person."

Lao Fang nodded, rubbed his hungry belly, and nodded: "Yes, I had already eaten when I came here just now."

"Tremella lotus seeds or eight-treasure porridge, which one do you want?" Li Yi picked up a small bowl and said, "The business of this porridge shop is not bad, and the taste is good."

"Tremella and lotus seeds." Wan Ruoqing nodded and said, "Yes, I remember when I was a kid, there was such a porridge shop not far from home, but at that time, I could only eat it once a month. The taste of this shop , almost the same as when I was a child..."

She was actually used to going there to buy some porridge and vegetables at noon and bring them back. She had planned to do the same today, but she didn't expect... it was such a coincidence that even those side dishes were her usual favorites.

"That's a coincidence." Li Yi handed her the chopsticks and said, "Let's eat. Regarding the future development of Goulan, I just have a few ideas that I want to discuss with you."

Smelling the aroma of the porridge, Lao Fang swallowed, closed the door gently, and walked out.

He originally planned to only eat two chicken drumsticks for a while, but now he wants to eat four. When he buys the porridge shop, he wants to try it. Is the Tremella Fungus and Lotus Seed Porridge really that delicious?

…

"I can't believe that Mr. Zeng is already Jing Zhaoyin, but his life is still so simple. He can eat plain porridge and pickles with such gusto. It really makes Cui admire him."

Zeng Shichun, who had already moved his family into Jingzhao Yin Mansion, raised his head and took a look, casually stretched out his hand and said: "I'm used to living in fine clothes and fine food. Occasionally, I eat plain porridge and pickles, which also has a unique flavor. Let's sit down casually."

After a few pleasantries, Zeng Shichun put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and asked, "Brother Cui came here in person today, but what big thing happened?"

Cui Qingming smiled and said, "If you have nothing to do, you can't come here to sit here?"

Zeng Shichun just smiled slightly and did not intervene, because he knew that if there was nothing wrong, the second-in-command of the Cui family would not come here easily.

Sure enough, Cui Qingming then spoke again: "Master Zeng once received instruction from Mr. Chu, and he must have a very deep understanding of Mr. Chu. What do you think we should do to gain the full support of Mr. Chu?"

Zeng Shichun raised his eyebrows, and then said calmly: "To be honest, if it is Mr. Chu, Zeng feels that it is better to be quiet than to move, and to rashly draw him in will be counterproductive..."

"Why?" Cui Qingming asked with a frown.

Zeng Shichun shook his head and said: "Twenty years ago, Duke Chu began to travel around to give lectures and no longer directly participated in government affairs. To disturb him now would only arouse resentment. Besides, Duke Chu has always followed the ancestral system. Over the years, , and have not alienated His Highness. Once something happens, he will definitely put the court situation and the ancestral system first and support His Highness. There is no need to win over him. "

Cui Qingming heard this, thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That makes sense."

"However, having said that, if we can get Chu Gong's full help, we can make the world's officials return to their hearts and regain the support of many courtiers. It is of great significance..." Then he sighed again and looked at Zeng Shichun, Said: "In the past two years, our strength in the court has suffered heavy losses. Up to now, only Mr. Zeng and Mr. Chen can go upstream. It is really rare. If not, our morale will really plummet. It is difficult to Saved..."

Zeng Shichun shook his head, "Zeng was just lucky..."

"Master Zeng, why should you be so humble..."

Next, the two discussed some things. After a while, several figures walked out of Jingzhao Yin Mansion. One of them suddenly spoke and asked Cui Qingming: "Are we really not going to Chu Mansion?"

Cui Qingming shook his head and said: "Although what Zeng Shichun said is reasonable, we still have to go to the Chu family. Your Highness's situation is really not good, and we can't remain silent like this..."

"Can you still bear it?" In the house, Zeng Shichun stood in front of the window, shook his head, and whispered: "Prepare the sedan."
