"Look, look, look!"
The short-bearded man pointed at Lin Wanru's leaving back, and said angrily: "This girl is really getting worse and worse. Do you still think of us elders?"
"It's already like this now. If she gets married in a few years, the Lin family won't be named Lin anymore!"
"In the past two years, she has become more and more arbitrary."
"If this continues, the Lin family will become her own Lin family!"
…
…
After Lin Wanru left, the meeting hall immediately became noisy under the lead of the man with the short beard.
"Okay, okay..."
An old man sitting at the top waved his hand, stood up and said, "Okay, this is not the first time you have seen her like this, the money that should be given to you is not less every year, honestly take the money Well, let’s stop pointing fingers at business matters.”
The old man cast a glance at everyone, and walked out slowly with his hands behind his back.
The short-bearded man's face turned red and white alternately, and after a while, he waved his hand and said, "No matter what, I don't agree to let an outsider take care of the Lin family's account, but I want to see what kind of sacred thing she brought back! "
After speaking, he snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeves.
In the small courtyard, a woman named Lin Wanru put two thick account books on the stone table and said, "It's okay for you to stay in the Lin family during this time, but there must be a reason, otherwise there will always be some Trouble, keep these two account books with you first, if anyone asks, just say that you are my new accountant, if you have any other plans in the future, you can leave at any time."
Li Yi nodded and said, "Thank you Miss Lin."
"You don't need to thank me." Lin Wanru glanced into the room and said, "Although you are a scholar, since you have come to this point, put away the tricks of weak scholars and look like a man. In the future, you Living together for two and starting a family are not as simple as studying, a woman can do this for you, I hope you don't let her down."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left. Li Yi stood there in a daze, with a dazed expression.
The man came over, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Miss's aunt, she ran away with a scholar in disregard of her family's objections before, and then the scholar got a new love, and later, and later, the fate of that lady not too good… "
The man sighed, and said: "He passed away within two years after returning to the mansion. Miss was the closest to her before, so she has always had prejudice against scholars."
A look of astonishment appeared on Li Yi's face. He didn't expect this Miss Lin to have such an experience.
In other words, if he and Miss Liu Er hadn't been misunderstood by her, they probably wouldn't have received such care along the way.
The big man patted him on the shoulder again and said, "So, you'd better treat this girl better. What my lady hates the most is a person who starts to mess up and ends up abandoning."
Li Yi recovered, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, I will treat her well."
"Brother Li, you don't look like that kind of person. I believe you. Otherwise, Miss would not take care of you like this." The big man smiled and waved away.
Li Yi shook his head, and when he was about to walk back to the room, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"stop."
He turned his head and watched several figures stepping into the small courtyard.
The leader is a middle-aged man with a short beard on his chin, and the two behind him are obviously lackeys, so they can be ignored automatically.
The middle-aged man glanced at him and asked, "Are you the accountant Mr. Wanru invited here?"
"Exactly." Li Yi replied.
The person in front of him seemed to hold a trace of hostility towards him. From what he called that Miss Lin, combined with the information he got from that man, it should be the "trouble" that Lin Wanru just said.
The middle-aged man looked at him, with a threatening tone, and said: "I don't care what she promised you, I just advise you, don't meddle in my Lin family's affairs, young people, you should know what it means to get burned."
Li Yi waved his sleeves lightly, but didn't speak.
Being ignored nakedly, a hint of anger appeared on the face of the middle-aged man, and he said, "Do you know who I am?"
"I don't know who you are." Li Yi sighed, pointed to the hem of his clothes, and said, "I only know what it means to burn yourself..."
The middle-aged man followed the direction of his finger, looked down, and then his face changed drastically. He saw that at some point, the hem of his clothes was burning, and beside his feet was a potion maker. The pot, the fire under the pot was very hot at this time, and it actually burned to his clothes.
"Second Master, there is a pond outside!"
The person beside him saw him struggling to undo a row of buttons on the skirt, and said hastily.
The second master was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then ran outside.
"I have no quality, and I don't know how to close the door." After the three of them left in a hurry, Li Yi walked over and closed the courtyard door. When he came back again, he waved his sleeves casually and blew part of the fire aside. Just boil it over low heat for a while.
Miss Liu Er, who had changed her clothes, came out, sat on the stone bench in the yard, and asked, "When shall we go back?"
You can't always wear that inn boy's clothes. When that girl Lin came over just now, someone brought food and some clothes for her.
"Wait until your injury is better." Li Yi turned on the fire and said.
There is no rush to go back, and now I have to find a way to get some money.
It is clear that a single sentence can decide a business of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and now the two of them don't have a copper coin, so they can't rely on that Miss Lin for everything.
Miss Liu Er is now in a weak body, so buying some precious medicinal materials to make some medicinal food, her injury must heal faster.
And these all need silver.
We will wait until we move out from the Lin family in two days to discuss these matters.
After a while, Li Yi filtered the boiled concoction into a bowl, walked into the room, looked at Miss Liu Er and said, "It's time to take the medicine."
Miss Liu Er looked up at him and held out her palm.
"There's only one left." Li Yi put the last toffee in her hand.
"Then drink half of it." Second Miss Liu put away the candy and said.
Li Yi shook his head, and said firmly, "No, drink up all of them."
Miss Liu Er frowned: "Half."
Li Yi suddenly thought of something and asked, "Can't you use your true energy now?"
As if smelling something, Second Miss Liu looked up at him and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"What do you think?" Li Yi looked down at her and said with a smile, "Open your mouth obediently..."
"you dare!"
"Are you open?"
"No Zhang!"
"Don't make me do it myself..."
"Try moving!"
"Just try it."
"Let go of me..., you wait, when I recover from my injury, I..."
…
Outside the courtyard gate, Lin Wanru wanted to remind the scholar not to care about other people's words, but when she heard the faint voice coming from inside, she stood outside the gate in a daze, and couldn't help but blush.
She glanced inside shyly and angrily, then quickly turned and left.
After a while, Li Yi came out of the room, saw the two ledgers on the stone table in the courtyard, and walked over slowly.
