Li Xiaonan and Wan Qing entered the seemingly loose security circle of the guards. Wan Qing bent her knees in an orderly manner and stood behind the stone roll with her hands hanging down.
Gu Yan glanced at Wan Qing, looked at Li Xiaonan, and saw the small cloth bag in her hand from Li Xiaonan's still moving mouth.
Li Xiaonan followed Gu Yan's gaze and looked at the cloth bag. After hesitating for a moment, she opened the mouth and held it in front of Gu Yan, "Fried soybeans, cousin Awu gave them to me. They are very fragrant. Can you try them?"
Wan Qing glared at Li Xiaonan and almost rushed forward to slap her.
Why is this damn girl so unruly!
Gu Yan glanced sideways at the bag of soybeans, then glanced at Li Xiaonan.
Li Xiaonan met Gu Yan's gaze slanting down from the corner of her eyes and said: "Your family must not be short of this..."
Gu Yan couldn't tell whether he snorted or sighed. He reached out and picked up the bag of fried soybeans, weighed it on the folding fan, stretched out two fingers, picked up a soybean, and put it into his mouth. p>
"It smells pretty good, right?" Li Xiaonan's eyes narrowed into a thin line when she smiled.
"Too salty." Gu Yan threw the bag into Li Xiaonan's arms and turned to tell Shi Gun, "Let people buy some food that the porters like. Buy more and send it to A Wu. Then give him ten taels of silver."
He asked the porters to have a drink after finishing their work."
Shi Gun agreed and quickly picked someone to go on the errand.
"How are his brothers?" Gu Yan asked confusedly.
"My dear son, all of them were seriously injured. Only two of them were slightly lighter. They followed the couple here in the morning. One was sitting at the small southeast pier to make arrangements, and the other was in the shed over there recording the workload of the porters." Wang Gui
I leaned forward to answer.
"Well, please ask a good doctor to come and see you twice a day." Gu Yan ordered, turned around and looked at Li Xiaonan who was standing with Wan Qing.
Wan Qing stood up straight and didn't dare to move. She just cut open Li Xiaonan's eyes one after another, but Li Xiaonan was lowering her head and concentrating on picking out the big soybeans to eat.
Wan Qing couldn't help but tried to keep her skirt still, stretched out her feet from under her skirt, and kicked Li Xiaonan's feet.
"I asked you to see what A Wu's wife is planning, do you think so?" Gu Yan looked at Li Xiaonan who was kicked by Wan Qing inexplicably and asked.
"She is calculating the ingredients." Li Xiaonan replied.
"How did you calculate it? Is it right or wrong?" Gu Yan threw open the folding fan.
Compared with Luxiu’s cleverness and stupidity, this little girl is like one in the abyss and the other in the sky!
"You have seen her calculations with an abacus. She calculates the material quantity, and the algorithm is very simple, that is, the material quantity is divided by the workload of the porter. Whether it is right or wrong depends on whether her estimate of the material quantity is correct. The workload of the porter should be
It’s not wrong. Look at that boat, all the porters are gone and the boat is empty. It seems that the estimate is correct." Li Xiaonan replied in one breath.
Gu Yan looked at the boat Li Xiaonan was pointing at, glanced sideways at Li Xiaonan, snorted, and said nothing.
Gu Yan stood and watched for a while, then turned and walked back.
After getting on the car near the watchtower, Gu Yan and a group of people were riding horses, and they didn't know where they were going. Two long followers followed Wan Qing and Li Xiaonan's car and took Li Xiaonan back to Cailian Lane.
Li Xiaonan pushed open the courtyard door, and Li Yinzhu rushed towards her, "You're back! Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, what's wrong with Third Sister?" Li Xiaonan was startled by Third Sister.
"As soon as I left, I went to the backyard to water the vegetables. As soon as I brought a bucket of water up, the guy from the framing shop on Academy Street in front knocked on the door and said that I had been taken away. I was scared to death and ran there quickly.
There is a teahouse, and the shopkeeper of the teahouse pats his chest and pledges, oh, it will be great if I come back."
Li Yinzhu wiped away cold sweat.
In the past half day, she had thought of all the bad things she could think of.
"I followed the prince to the Beixing Pier to watch the unloading of goods. I didn't make any money today. Try this." Li Xiaonan handed the bag of fried soybeans to Li Yinzhu.
"This is very fragrant! I've only eaten it once." Li Yinzhu pinched two or three pieces with three fingers and put them in his mouth, "It's so fragrant. Save some for the eldest sister, the second sister, and brother Nong." p>
"If the eldest sister asks where it comes from, how can I tell you?" Li Xiaonan picked two pills, bit them, and asked.
"Alas!" Li Yinzhu frowned, picked up the bag and weighed it, "There are so many, such good things, no matter what, I have to leave some for the eldest sister and the second sister. Otherwise..."
"Is the fourth lady of the Li family at home?"
The courtyard door was pushed open a crack, and a kind-hearted old woman stuck her head in.
"Who?"
Li Xiaonan and Li Yinzhu were confused together, who is the fourth lady of the Li family?
"Is the little girl here?" Grandma immediately changed her title.
"I am." Li Xiaonan hurriedly greeted her.
She has three sisters, but they are not the fourth wives of the Li family!
"A Mr. Shi bought a basket of crab shell yolks in a small shop and ordered it to be delivered to my little girl." Grandma immediately smiled, pushed open the courtyard door, and handed a huge basket over the threshold. p>
"Thank you." Li Xiaonan took the basket.
"You're welcome, little girl." Grandma responded with a smile and closed the courtyard door.
"Master Shi? The one who delivers eggs?" Li Yinzhu hurriedly stepped forward and took the basket from Li Xiaonan's hand.
The yellow crab shell is fluffy and not weighing heavily. It is a huge basket but not very heavy.
"Yeah." Li Xiaonan lifted up the snow-white linen covering the basket and looked at the densely packed and neat crab shells in the basket.
There are so many crab shell yolks, I definitely can’t eat them. Throw them away. Sister San would rather throw her away than throw away this big basket of crab shell yolks!
I can’t hide it from my eldest sister this time.
"How many copper coins does that master have at home? So much! Ten coins each! Let me count, one, two, three..." Li Yinzhu put the basket on the table and counted with his fingers.
Li Xiaonan sat on a small bamboo chair, holding her chin and looking at the crab shell yellow, with a sad face.
What should I tell my eldest sister?
I'm afraid she won't be able to keep the one tael of silver in her purse.
Li Yinzhu drooled, cooked a thin rice porridge, picked a large handful of green rice and amaranth from the back garden, mixed it, poured three to five drops of sesame oil on it, cut a handful of garlic sprouts, cut them into sections, and killed them with salt.
, put a few drops of balsamic vinegar, put the large basket of crab shells directly on the table, and waited for the two ladies to come back for a feast.
As expected, Li Xiaonan couldn't keep her one tael of silver, so she had to eat an extra crab shell.
After eating, Li Jinzhu spun seven or eight cotton slivers, stood up, and said to Li Yuzhu: "I'm going to talk to the uncle in the lobby. Nong is watching at home."
Li Yuzhu nodded and watched Li Jinzhu leave the courtyard before lowering his head and continuing to weave.
Alas, her grandma is extremely smart, but she is also frighteningly courageous.
Li Jinzhu walked two streets and arrived at the door of Li Wenliang's newly purchased house.
Li Wenliang's newly built house has two entrances. Except for the shabby house, everything else is in excellent condition. After Li Wenliang bought it, he moved to the concierge and lived there that day, watching people repair the house, looking for shops and suitable businesses, and running the business.
The Li family was very busy with their marriage affairs and purchasing Li Yinzhu's dowry.
