Chapter 3 Fighting (Part 2) Even after wandering aimlessly throughout the long street, Asahi could not forget that weak and helpless figure. The figure was like a petal floating down the stream, floating.
It floated before his eyes, full of mystery and pity. It made people want to stretch out their hands and scoop it out of the flowing water. After scooping it, it seemed that there was a lingering fragrance filling their hands.
Xuzi suspected that he had stayed in the military camp for too long, so he did not have the willpower to ride on a horse for any attractive woman. He secretly looked around and saw women hurriedly walking among the endless flow of people.
There were many of them, including beauties in pink who smelled like sunshine, but those people just passed by in a hurry, and none of them could attract his attention.
"Is that General Li? It seems to be General Li!" Xuzi heard someone whispering in the attic on the street. He suddenly turned around and saw several girls scattering like birds in their red scarves and green sleeves, adding to the winter city.
A bit full of life, but those women were like the wind blowing around him, nothing remained in his heart.
Unlike Tao Kuo who took off her stockings, Xuzi compared Shi Lan with the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in her heart. Tao Kuo's taking off stockings' smile was as clear as the sky after the rain, while Shi Lan's smile was like wild flowers in the rain, soft and concealed.
Looking at the wilderness is not like Wan'er. Wan'er's whole person is like a blooming peony. She is so beautiful and rich that even if she doesn't care for anyone, she will bloom happily until the end of her life.
At this time, no matter how you compare, it is meaningless. He has let her go, and it is almost impossible for the two of them to meet again in this life.
It takes a lot of work to make a home look like it. Instead of thinking about things for no reason, it is better to do some practical chores.
The housekeeper had come back, and he was working in the yard with a group of young men wearing brand-new rough kudzu clothes. When they saw the owner of the house come in, everyone stopped what they were doing and came forward together. They knelt down to thank them. Li Xu waved and told them to stand up.
Then he asked the butler if he had taken them to dinner. As soon as he finished speaking, all the boys knelt down again.
"To tell you what, sir, we can't be full anymore."
"Thank you for your grace, the little people have never been so full!"
A bunch of young boys rushed to answer that they all looked decent, especially after eating a full meal and changing into clean clothes, the vitality of life quickly showed on their faces. Xuzi knew that her housekeeper did not treat them harshly.
, which made him feel a little better. He smiled kindly, and asked one of the boys who looked the smartest: "How old are you and what's your name!"
"Sir, I'm thirteen this year. My original name is Wang Goucheng. Please give me a new name!" The boy on the left touched his head to the ground and said respectfully.
"Gift?" Li Xu turned his head to the housekeeper in surprise. The behavior and speech of these young men must have been trained by the housekeeper, otherwise their movements would never be so neat. Xuzi found that he was a little uncomfortable being someone else's.
Master, just like when he saw Zhao Wujiu being hired as a housekeeper in Yahang, he immediately changed his name to Li Wujiu and was not used to it.
"Master bought them and gave them food, clothing and a place to live. If they have the gift of regeneration, they can be given whatever name they want. On the one hand, it will be convenient for you, and on the other hand, our family will appear to be well behaved!" said the housekeeper!
When Li Wujiu saw Xuzi asking for his advice, he quickly made some suggestions
"The gift of reinvention?" Li Xu was a little stunned. He didn't expect that buying someone else as a slave would be such a great favor. Since he left home, his life has been almost military training, fighting, fighting, training, or just marching in a hurry. Therefore, he is very interested in life.
In terms of his understanding of trivial matters, he is still almost at the level of that simple boy in Yixian County. Although he is now a second-class uncle, he really knows nothing about what kind of life should be like in the uncle's family.
"Of course it's a gift of reincarnation. If your boss hadn't bought them out of kindness, they themselves, their parents, and their families would have starved to death in a short time!" The butler nodded and replied in a very affirmative tone.
Dong Jia is a kind person, and Li Wujiu can appreciate this himself. He doesn't think there is anything strange about Li Xu's behavior. Many young men of his age don't like to take care of household chores. A young man like Dong Jia becomes famous and follows the emperor.
It would be strange if people who do big things know these miscellaneous mundane things!
For this reason, with the heart of repaying his gratitude, Li Wujiu decided to take over all the chores that he could do. Firstly, this would allow his boss to have less worries and be more practical in building up their achievements. Secondly, there was no one else in the family. If the housekeeper was taken over,
His position was firmly established. As his boss's status gradually increased, Youdao became the "fourth-grade concierge of the prime minister's family." As a housekeeper, his future status would be no worse than those of county lieutenants and hukou in the yamen.
The task of thinking of names was no easier than fighting. With the help of the housekeeper, Xuzi racked his brains and found eight names that fit the identity of the opponent, sounded good and auspicious, and named the boy with the most eloquent words.
Lai Fu, and several others, are arranged together with the characters Lai Generation, Lai Shou, Lai Bao, Lai Xi... According to the housekeeper, if there are more people in Uncle Zhongyong's house in the future, they will be arranged with another character like this,
You can tell the order of the slaves entering the house from their names, which can keep the order of Zhongyongbo's house to the maximum extent.
"Eight people are enough. Why does such a small mansion need so many servants?" Li Xu answered with a smile after hearing what the butler said was interesting.
"That's not necessarily the case. In the future, the old master, the old lady, and the madam will move here together, as well as the young master. In the future, when the young master grows up, the young lady will marry the young lady. Anyway, as your officialdom grows bigger and bigger, our Li Mansion will definitely do the same.
The club's population is getting more and more prosperous..." The housekeeper moved his fingers and calculated excitedly.
"If this is really the case, we have to hurry up and buy a new house!" Li Xu replied with a smile, turned around and walked to the main house to pick up his parents. Together, they planned a prosperous Li House where they could see their mother's love every day.
With a smile on his face, he could occasionally sit in front of the lamp and have a few drinks with his father. If he had a wife and a chubby baby in his arms, he suddenly realized that his dream back then was not far away and was almost within reach.
In any case, I and my family are lucky. They don’t have to endure the pain of cold and hunger in a situation where the future is unclear, and they don’t have to worry about next year’s livelihood. Thinking like this, a feeling comes from the bottom of my heart.
The smile allowed him to temporarily get rid of the troubles in front of him. Xuzi shrugged and reached out to push open the carved door of the main hall.
"Master!" Laifu's voice suddenly sounded from behind him, grabbing Asahi's legs that were already halfway into the room. He turned around with a smile and saw the mysterious look in his eyes.
"Master, there is a girl, who I said is the maid you bought, and I am asking to see you at the concierge!" Laifu reported with his hands hanging by his legs, half-bowed.
"Slave?" Xuzi felt his heart suddenly beat again. In this life, he had only had two maids. One stayed on the grassland, and the other was just let go by him. It was not Ayun. He knew how to walk to the hall as quickly as possible.
, he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face, still so weak, but a little bit of charm had been brought out in the fragility. Washing off the dust on his face, he was wearing a light pink short jacket on his upper body, and a light green long skirt underneath.
Lan was like a little flower in the wilderness, standing alone in front of him
The eyes of the few boys who had just been bought were already straight, their hands were busy, and their feet were circling the concierge. Although they were young, they were old enough to distinguish beauty from ugliness.
But there is a touching tenderness about him, which makes people feel pity involuntarily after seeing him.
"How did you find this place?" Li Xu asked with some embarrassment. As soon as he asked the question, he realized that he had asked a strange question. If the meaning of this sentence was extended, it would be easy to understand that he seemed a little bit like
I wasn’t surprised that the other party would come to find me, I was just surprised that the other party could find the right door so quickly.
"I asked about General Li's Mansion along the street, but everyone said they didn't know." Shi Lan lowered his head and gently twisted the silk edge of his short jacket with his hands. The inferior silk edge quickly wrinkled, revealing the glittering fingers on the other side. "Later
I met someone from the government office and found out that my benefactor actually lived here!"
"Master, I will order someone to make tea and bring it to the living room for you!" The shyness shown by the girl in an instant made the butler think of countless thoughts. He did not dare to offend this unknown guest, so he reminded him in a roundabout way.
Li Xu’s courtesy in hospitality
Young masters from rich families go out to play with women, and similar stories often happen. It seems that the boss is not ready to give up. It seems that this woman is not bad looking, and the boss is more discerning...
"No, forget it, you'd better send it to the living room to make it stronger, and find someone to buy some snacks by the way." Li Xu didn't know what to say. He felt confused and an intuition told him,
The woman in front of you should be turned away. She had dressed up carefully before she came. She probably spent all the copper money he gave her on her decent clothes and some white copper jewelry on her head. She would never be the one who dressed up so carefully.
He wanted to say thank you on the way, maybe she had some ulterior motives, but another feeling ordered him to keep the woman in front of him. There was no reason, he just felt that this woman was weak, and there was something hidden behind her weakness.
shares of mystery
That mysterious feeling, like the aroma of wine, attracted Li Xu to take risks. He found that his palms were sweaty, and his mood was actually more nervous than the first time he went to the battlefield. It was different from getting along with Tao Kuo, without the peace and tranquility.
The situation of getting along with Wan'er is also different, there are not so many barriers and misunderstandings
Except for the other person's appearance and identity, he knew nothing about the woman who followed him into the living room. But he found that he seemed unwilling to explore too many secrets. He just wanted to sit casually with the other person, chat a few words, and see what the other person was like.
A smile blooms on the face like a flower
"I have nowhere to go, and I don't want to repay my kindness, so I'll come back and be your maid!" The moment the door closed, Shi Lan knelt down gently and raised the bond of betrayal above his head.
