Li Ke made a hard trip to the home wine shop, and just before he stepped into the gate of the mansion, the concierge told him that the second master asked him to see him as soon as he came back.
Li Ke sighed, went into the library to see Long Er, and reported it without waiting for Long Er to ask: "Ju Daddy read to Miss Ju as Second Master asked."
"Then how did she react?"
"No response."
"Did you play the piano again?"
"Yes, Second Master." Li Ke replied cautiously. He saw that Long Er was writing furiously, he didn't know what to write, it seemed that he was no longer angry, so he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.
Li Ke waited for a while, Long Er folded the written note and handed it to him: "Early tomorrow morning, you send this to Ju's house, and ask Father Ju to wake up Mu'er and read it to her."
Li Ke was dumbfounded: "Second Master, what is this?"
"Long family rules."
Li Ke suddenly felt that the thin paper was hot: "Family rules? I haven't heard of it before."
"I just made a decision. You go there early tomorrow morning, and ask Father Ju not to allow her to sleep in, and read the house rules to her."
Li Ke was speechless, and retreated holding the "family rules".
Early the next morning, Li Ke was ordered to go to the home wine shop. Father Ju received him warmly, served him breakfast and served sake. The two ate and drank, and sighed at the "Long Family Rules" together.
Ju Lao asked: "Li Huwei, tell me the truth, does the second master not want my daughter anymore?"
"No, no." Li Ke waved his hands in fright, "Second Master also urged Madam Yu to finish the preparations for the marriage yesterday, and he didn't mean not to be a girl."
Father Ju sighed: "My daughter, you said she is fine, why are you fighting with the second master? I asked her yesterday, she always goes to get angry with the second master, is it true that she doesn't really want to marry? She even said No, she is going to marry. Tell me about the two of them, one is going to marry, the other is going to marry, why do you look down on each other?"
Li Ke pondered for a while: "Maybe they are happy this way?"
After Li Ke returned to the mansion, he felt that what he said today was wrong. Second Master Long was obviously not happy, not at all.
"Has Dad Ju read it?"
"I read it."
"What's Mu'er's reaction?"
"The subordinates don't know."
So this subordinate was stared at.
The subordinate hurriedly explained: "Papa Ju asked me to wait in the shop, and he went to read it to Miss Ju by himself." This is what he discussed with Papa Ju.
Long Er was very dissatisfied: "Since you are waiting at the shop, how do you know that Ju Daddy read it?"
"It was Ju Daddy who told me."
"Then why don't you ask him, Mu'er's reaction when he heard the family rules?"
Li Ke was speechless, so he had to bow his head and admit his mistake: "This subordinate has neglected his duty, please punish him." Punish him to hunt bandits, let's go to suppress bandits, anyway, don't go to any home wine shop.
"Hmph." Long Er glanced at him, "Tomorrow, you go there again and let Mu'er recite the family rules, only if you recite them well."
When Li Ke heard this, he was so sad that he wanted to cry, Er Ye, you always punish Ju girls like this, aren't you afraid that Ju girls won't marry
The next day, before Li Ke had time to go, Ju Muer came by herself.
As soon as she came, it seemed that Li Ke's savior had arrived.
Li Ke saw with his own eyes the smile on Long Er's face when he heard the young man come to report Miss Ju Mu'er's request to see her, and saw him rushing out of the library to pick her up at the gate in person. Li Ke was so moved that he almost shed tears, thinking that the hard days are coming to an end.
Ju Mu'er was still wearing a green shirt and quilted cloth, holding a bamboo stick in her hand. Unlike before, she wore a hat on her head. The hat was so big that it covered the hair and the whole head, which looked a little funny.
"Why are you dressed like this?" Long Er asked.
"It was Qing'er who made the hat for me, so that I can wrap my head so that I won't smell bad."
Long Er snorted: "It doesn't stink, but it's very ugly."
Ju Muer didn't care: "It's okay, I can't see anyway."
Long Er gently pinched her ear beads. After wearing the hat, his ears were all exposed, which made his hands itchy: "Then you came here specially to show me your ugly appearance?"
"No. I'm here, so you don't have to work so hard to write the house rules. If you have the time, why not patrol the business more and do some serious things." Ju Muer tilted her head slightly, with an innocent expression on her face, but a Teased Erye Long, implying that his family rules are really boring.
Long Er understood, but was happy in his heart. He took her to the library, and said that he really needed to read a lot of files, and in two days shopkeepers from all over the country would come to Beijing. They had to report their business accounts and discuss the next year's business, and he also wanted to comfort the shopkeepers.
Ju Muer nodded and said nothing. Long Er found a soft couch and put it in his study, and asked Ju Muer what he wanted to play. Ju Muer shook her head, and just sat lazily, listening to the sound of Long Er flipping and writing.
The study was very quiet, and Long Er was extraordinarily energetic when working. He glanced at her once in a while, and found it very interesting to see her little blank expression. He planned to talk to her after he was busy for a while, and he also ordered the kitchen to prepare her meal at noon.
While looking at the file while distracted, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked her to pour tea and beat her back. He turned his head to call her, but found her lying on the couch, as if asleep.
Her breathing was long and shallow, her hands had already been loosened, and the bamboo stick was leaning against the side of the couch, almost falling to the ground. Against the backdrop of the big hat, her face looked smaller.
Looking at her, Long Er felt that she was really thin, she couldn't be seen wearing thick clothes, but her face was obviously skinny. Her eyelashes are long and slender, like two rows of small fans, her mouth is neither big nor small, Long Er knew that when she smiled, the corners of her mouth turned up very cutely.
Long Er stood up, ready to scare her.
This slacker, obviously came to see him, but he just slept in another place. He worked so hard to earn money to support his family, but she didn't know that she loved him at all. She is next to him, she should talk to him, ask him if he is bored, if he is thirsty, if he is tired.
In the end, she didn't ask anything, just sat there blankly, and fell asleep.
Long Er walked over and was about to speak to scare her, but Ju Muer seemed to notice it, and suddenly sat up in fright, and shrank back subconsciously.
Her expression was terrified, as if she was not lightly frightened.
Long Er hurriedly called: "It's me."
Ju Mu'er was still a little dazed, Long Er said again: "It's me, Mu'er, you are in my study right now."
Ju Muer blinked, then blinked again, then lowered her head and rubbed her face with her hands. Long Er walked over, squatted in front of her, and asked softly: "Are you sleepy?"
Ju Muer shook her head, Long Er was afraid that she might not be awake, and said again: "Talk to me, Muer."
Ju Muer opened her mouth, and said in a hoarse voice for a while, "I had a dream, and I forgot that I was here with you."
"Nightmare?" Long Er frowned, "What did you dream about?"
"I don't remember." Ju Muer leaned forward, but didn't want to bump into Long Er. Long Er naturally hugged her into his arms and stroked her stiff back.
Ju Muer closed her eyes, Long Er's generous chest made her relax, the horror scene on the execution ground in her dream was still spinning in her mind, but she just said: "I'm fine."
"Are you all right?"
Ju Muer nodded, and Long Er reached out to pinch her ear beads. Ju Muer was in pain, and Long Er said: "If you have nothing to do, be more energetic. Come and help me pour tea and beat my back."
"Oh." Ju Mu'er responded sullenly, sounding unwilling, and Long Er pinched her earballs again.
Ju Muer covered her ears to hide, Long Er laughed loudly, pulled her over and hugged her in his arms, complaining: "You are so skinny, you will be so skinny when you hold her in summer, you should gain weight quickly .”
Ju Muer didn't speak, just buried her face, and after a while asked in a low voice, "Second Master, are you really marrying me?"
"Then there are fake ones?"
Ju Muer didn't speak, but relaxed and leaned against him. Long Er thought about it and asked, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"
Ju Muer froze for a while, then shook her head.
Long Er patted her hat, don't say anything. He pulled her to the side of the desk and said, "Come, serve me some tea."
Ju Mu'er bowed her legs and saluted in response, acting like a little servant. She wears a hat and dresses up funny, but she imitates the little maid's docile look with lowered eyebrows and downcast eyes, but Long Er knows that she is the most mischievous and rebellious.
Sure enough, she babbled and asked where the teacup was, and where the teapot was, and finally touched his table again, saying that if the tea was spilled, and his books, files, or Ledger is not good.
In order to drink the cup of tea she poured, Second Master Long had to trouble himself to serve her first, so that he could fulfill his wish.
Long Er believed in her heart that she did it on purpose, every time he teased her, she had to toss him in turn to be reconciled.
But even so, Long Er still led her to touch the table, helped her tidy up the table, and then set up the teapot and teacups. Only then did Ju Muer pour him a cup of tea in a decent manner.
Long Er happily picked up the teacup and drank it. Ju Muer asked, "Second Master, is the tea I pour good?"
Long Er pretended: "It's okay."
"It must be that Er Ye's tea doesn't please Er Ye, because no matter who pours it, it still tastes the same."
Long Er almost choked on the tea. He turned his head to see that the blind girl was smiling mischievously.
Long Er was angry: "Come here and beat the back for Grandpa."
Ju Muer agreed, and groped to get behind Long Er, and then dawdled for a long time, poking Long Er's shoulder and back itching, he couldn't help teasing her: "If you want to touch it, touch it well."
The movement behind him stopped suddenly, and then Ju Muer said loudly: "Report to the second master, the back of the chair is too high, and it is in the way." She didn't mean it, who wants to touch him!
Long Er turned his head to look at her, seeing her blushing face, he found it very interesting. He turned the chair around, sat sideways, and showed her his shoulders, then took her hand and put it on his shoulder.
Ju Muer began to seriously press his shoulders now. Her fingers were slender and slender, but they were quite vigorous, and the pressing position was also very suitable. Long Er sat at the desk for a long time, his shoulders were stiff, being pressed by her like this, he felt so comfortable that he wanted to sigh.
"Second Master, am I doing well?"
"Average." Long Er felt comfortable but at the same time he was too stingy to praise her.
Ju Mu'er didn't seem to care, she just said: "I often give my father a shoulder squeeze, the second master's requirements are much higher than my father's. Since this is the case, I think I still have to use my housekeeping skills It's good to please the second master."
"You are not allowed to play the piano, and you are not allowed to ridicule me secretly."
Ju Muer giggled behind him.
Long Er reprimanded her angrily: "Have you memorized all the family rules?"
Ju Muer continued to laugh, Long Er took her little hand back and held it: "The family rules I wrote are so funny?"
Ju Mu'er shook her head, she didn't know what was written in that family rule, she didn't ask her father to read it to her at all. Long Er just wanted to tease her, she knew it.
Long Er wanted to tease her, he said: "There is a rule in the house, you are not allowed to use the qin to laugh at the Lord."
Ju Muer laughed again after hearing this: "Second Master really understands me, I am best at playing the piano."
Long Er let out a "hum", pulled down her two hands, pulled her to her back, squeezed her fingers and said, "I understand you, I just want to think in the direction of how you can get angry with me." , I can guess your mind."
"I also understand Second Master, as long as you think about how to teach me, you can guess what Second Master is thinking." Ju Muer lay on his back, wrinkling her nose, "I guess Second Master must let me eat For lunch, I also guessed that there must be fish in the dishes that Er Ye asked the kitchen to prepare."
Long Er was stunned for a moment, then stunned for a while, and finally couldn't help laughing. What the hell, why is she so smart and so funny.
He coughed and said firmly, "I didn't intend to keep you for dinner, it's just that it's time for dinner. It's just a matter of extra chopsticks."
Ju Muer's voice was soft: "Thank you, Second Master, but there are thorns in the fish, so I can't eat them."
Long Er remembered that he had invited her to dinner before, and she felt aggrieved with a mouthful of fish with spines in her mouth. He couldn't help but feel soft-hearted, and patted her small face: "Is there any spines for you, master?"
At the banquet, Long Er really kept his promise to pick fish bones for Ju Muer, thinking that he was being tricked again, why was he so excited by her to say that.
Ju Mu'er ate the fish meat that Second Master Long had personally picked out the thorns, and smiled so sweetly.
Aunt Yu watched her second master grit his teeth and reprimanded the girl, and at the same time picked fishbone seriously, and she understood it in her heart.
Mammy Yu started serious preparations for the wedding again, and this matter was publicized by the matchmaker, and it was widely spread in the market. As to what method the blind girl Ju Muer used to captivate Long Erye, or how to persecute Long Erye, there are various speculations and rumors.
Long Er was completely unaffected. In fact, if he didn't teach people to find these words and come back to listen to him, he wouldn't know, after all, no one would come to him and say these things without thinking.
Long Er stayed with Mu'er for most of the day that day, and then promised her not to come again. It's not to accommodate her feeling that she doesn't want to go out to meet people before getting married, but he found that he was with her and delayed a lot of progress in reading the files.
Originally, he planned to read a stack of files that day, but he was too busy bickering with Ju Muer, teasing her, and in the end he only read less than two volumes. This had to make him wake up later, business is serious business.
Long Er was buried in the case for two consecutive days. The shopkeepers also arrived one after another, and they came to visit Long Mansion one after another. Long Er met each of them in person, and discussed seriously about the sale.
This day, several shopkeepers handed over posts and lined up to see Long Er, but at this juncture, Ding Yanshan came to visit. Long Er didn't see her at first, so he asked the porter to tell him that he had to see many guests today and was not free.
When Long Er finished meeting a shopkeeper and was sending him out, Ding Yanshan was waiting at the door. Seeing Long Er coming out, she rushed up to talk to him.
After seeing each other, Long Er couldn't say anything, so he had to invite her in for two cups of tea. Ding Yanshan came for the marriage between Long Er and Ju Muer, as soon as she opened her mouth, she directly asked Long Er whether the rumor that he was going to marry Ju Muer was true.
Long Er naturally answered "Yes". Ding Yanshan's face turned pale with anxiety: "Second Master, please think twice, that Ju Mu'er has such a reputation, I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of the Dragon Mansion."
"My Dragon House has never needed to use the reputation of the daughter-in-law of the Long family to increase my reputation."
"But she's like my brother-in-law..."
"I don't want to marry your brother-in-law, so what does he have to do with me?"
"Second Master." Ding Yanshan stood up anxiously, "My sister said that Ju Muer has agreed to marry my brother-in-law as a concubine, so Ju Muer lied to you. Second Master, you must not Marry that bitch."
Long Er raised his eyes, stared at Ding Yanshan, and said coldly for a long time: "Go back and tell Yun Qingxian that he'd better not hit on my wife, otherwise—"
He didn't finish the sentence, but the ending was prolonged, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious. Ding Yanshan froze and froze under his cold gaze, finally couldn't hold back, turned her head and left.
Long Er said behind her: "Also, don't let me hear someone calling my Mu'er a bitch."
Ding Yanshan stopped, covered her face and ran away crying.
Ding Yanshan left, but Long Er couldn't sit still. Ju Mu'er agreed to marry into Yun's family, this was the first time he had heard of it. She suddenly proposed to him for no reason that day, could it be because of Yun Qingxian
Long Er summoned Madam Yu and asked her how the dowry was prepared for the wedding. Madam Yu said that she went to the home wine shop to discuss with the old man and the young lady in the past two days, and all the arrangements have been made, and the ceremony will be delivered soon.
Long Er nodded, and asked Nanny Yu to let him have a look after preparing the gift, Nanny Yu agreed, and Long Er let her back down.
Long Er walked back to the library, thinking about Ju Muer all the way, remembering her saying that she just wanted to marry him, and remembering her expression when she said this. Long Er decided that after discussing the matter with the shopkeepers tomorrow, he would take some time to visit her any later.
