Happy Little Scholar

"Let's close Goulan early today. There won't be many customers on New Year's Eve. After a few days off after the New Year, it's time to start working again."

When she walked out of Goulan again, Li Yi held a bunch of things in her arms, most of which were scripts, which she was going to take to Yangliu Lane to read in the next few days.

Wan Ruoqing shook his head and said: "Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year. You can have another day off. After the second day of the Lunar New Year, there will be more and more guests. You can't be idle until the Lantern Festival. In previous years, the number of guests in these few days is worth It’s been a few months on weekdays.”

"You can never make enough money, but you lose your original intention in the first place." Li Yi shook his head, and when he was about to speak again, he suddenly threw the pile of books in his hand into the air, leaned over and picked up a man on crutches. The old man who almost fell held on, and then stretched out his other hand to let the pile of books fall steadily on his hand.

"Old man, are you okay?" Seeing that the old man stood firm, he let go and asked.

The old man waved his hand, looked him up and down, and said, "Young man, you have good skills..."

Li Yi looked at him. The horizontal wrinkles on his face were like tree bark. From his appearance, he looked older than his second uncle. He was surprised and said, "I wonder how old this old man is?"

A smile appeared on the old man's face like a dead tree, he stroked his beard and said, "I am seventy-three this year."

As soon as the old man said this, even Wan Ruoqing's face showed surprise.

Most people can live to be fifty years old, and those who live to be sixty years old are even rarer. Those who can live to seventy years of age are already considered to be ancestors. Like this old man, he is still a person at such an old age. There are even fewer ancestors running outside.

Li Yi also knew the significance of seventy-three in this world, and asked doubtfully: "Why is the old man outside alone? Where is your family?"

The old man always had a smile on his face and said: "Haha, I just got bored at home and went out to hang out alone."

While speaking, he kept his eyes on the young man in front of him.

Looking at the youngest marquis in Jingguo, Doctor Jin Ziguanglu, who is known as the most talented man in Jingguo, Li Yi is unparalleled in poetry and proficiency in classics and meanings - he is also what Cui Qingze calls a sycophant.

From the incident just now, he already had a preliminary understanding of him, but it was too early to draw a final conclusion.

Therefore, there was the scene he just had and the temptation he was about to conduct.

He looked at Li Yi and smiled: "You..."

"Haha, let's continue shopping, let's go first. There are many people on the street. Please be careful when walking, and be sure not to fall again..."

Li Yi smiled similarly, glanced in a certain direction, turned to look at Wan Ruoqing, and said, "Let's go."

The old man stood on the street with a cane, looking ahead. It was not until the young man and the woman disappeared that his open mouth slowly closed.

A middle-aged man walked out from the direction where Li Yi glanced just now, and said with a stunned look on his face: "Father, this..."

A thoughtful look appeared on the old man's face, and after a moment he asked: "Isn't what I dropped just now a bit fake?"

"ah……"

"Yes or no?"

The middle-aged man nodded and whispered: "Yes..."

…

"It's so fake." Li Yi shook his head and said, "Didn't you notice just now?"

Wan Ruoqing shook her head and said, "No, when I found out, you had already helped the old man up."

Li Yi shook his head and said: "Although the old man is not young, he is very strong and the crutch can be thrown away. He actually fell down on purpose just now. Moreover, there was another person next to him, watching in the dark. Following us, we are probably his accomplices..."

Although the old man just now is very old, when it comes to acting skills, he may not even be as good as a walk-on. If in future generations, he will definitely be beaten to death.

A look of confusion appeared on Wan Ruoqing's face and she said, "Ah, but why did he..."

"You are just too kind-hearted and too simple." Li Yi looked at her and said solemnly: "Nowadays, the world is deteriorating, people's hearts are not as old as they used to be, and those bad people have many tricks, just like the old man just now, if he said that he He was knocked down by us. He said he suffered serious internal injuries. He pulled us on the street and refused to let us go. He asked us to pay a large sum of money. What should we do?

Besides, he still has an accomplice in the dark. If the time comes, he will help him with perjury. Where are we going to reason? "

"ah?"

A look of disbelief appeared on Wan Ruoqing's face. She really hadn't thought about this. However, such an old man would have to sit in front of the government hall even when he arrived at the government office. Even the county magistrate had to salute and serve him carefully. If If you really insist that the blame lies with them, then...

Recalling the kind-hearted old man just now, she looked at Li Yi and asked uncertainly: "But, the old man just now doesn't look like that kind of person?"

"Then do you believe him or me?"

"trust you."

"That's right, I won't lie to you." Li Yi nodded with satisfaction, and warned: "It's a good thing that you are kind-hearted, but you should keep an eye on everything. Don't be fooled by some unfavorable people. People with good intentions deceived..."

Wan Ruoqing nodded obediently and said, "I understand..."

…

"You really don't want to go there today?"

In Yangliu Lane, in the small courtyard, Li Yi had confirmed with Zui Mo countless times.

She shook her head and said, "I won't go over. I'll stay here with Sister Ruoqing. You don't have to worry about it being lonely here. The sisters from the brothels are all together at night, and the sisters from the shop who can't go home also come together. It's definitely more lively than your home."

Li Yi shook his head and corrected, "It's our home."

She glanced at him and repeated, "Your home."

Li Yi raised a hand and asked, "Whose home?"

Zeng Zuimo's pretty face blushed, and a strange feeling came from a certain part of his body. This was when he corrected himself. ’s usual method, rolled her eyes at him, and said, “Your family!”

…

“Our family…”

After a few slaps, she leaned on Li Yi’s arms with a blushing face, whispering, “Don’t, don’t do this, Sister Ruoqing is still at home.”

“She went to take a bath and won’t be out for a while.” Li Yi looked back and said, “Except for Xiao Cui hiding behind the tree, no one saw it.”

“Xiao Cui?” Zeng Zuimo hurriedly came out of Li Yi’s arms, holding the hem of her skirt, and ran to the osmanthus tree in the yard.

“Xiao----Cui----”

“Ah, Miss…”

The panicked voice of the little maid came over soon, “Miss, I did it on purpose…, ah, no, I did it on purpose…, ah, Mr. Li, help me!”

Li Yi didn’t know what Xiao Cui did when she was dragged into the room. Not long after, Xiao Cui ran out with a red face and covered her buttocks. A moment later, Zuimo also walked out of the room.

"This is for you." She handed an envelope to Li Yi.

"What is this?" Li Yi asked in surprise: "What can't be said in person..."

"This... is from Mr. Zeng." After she finished speaking, she handed him another letter and said, "This is from Mrs. Chen..."
