The water in the pond is clear and warm at the beginning of spring. The fish swim slowly, and the fish tails sweep out faint ripples.
The morning sun sets on the water, giving off a fine golden glow.
Li Jing leaned on the railing and took a nap.
After the beginning of spring in the Li Mansion, the West Garden was rebuilt, and Li Huzhu was responsible for this.
The West Garden is quite large, and Mayor Li plans to build three independent small bungalows in it for unmarried children.
In addition to the twins Li Jing and Li Huzhu, the Li family also has many children, about ten boys and girls.
They are all young, the youngest is only three years old.
Li Huzhu is responsible for the overall planning.
She had already received the cost of repairs from her father - their family had some financial resources, and her father was very generous with the money, so the expenses were sufficient.
If grandma hadn't prepared a dowry for Li Huzhu, Li Huzhu would have been tempted and wanted to embezzle.
She is in charge of money and general engineering, while Li Jing is responsible for some trivial matters.
At this moment, he was taking a nap while leaning on the pavilion. Not far away, Li Huzhu was discussing with the craftsmen the demolition of several low buildings behind the West Garden.
The weather was sunny, sparse shadows fell on his face, and he slept peacefully.
Li Huzhu came over and asked him with a smile: "So sleepy?"
What did you do last night?"
Li Jing didn't wake up.
Li Huzhu reached out to push him, but there was no response.
She was slightly surprised and a little worried and touched his forehead, wondering if he was sick.
The forehead is slightly cool and there is no fever.
Xue's wrist was gently held, and the person under the palm slightly raised the corners of his lips: "Zhu Zhu."
The voice is a bit hoarse, but the scream is extremely soft.
Li Huzhu has been close to him since childhood.
After being in it for a long time, she couldn't hear anything wrong.
"Why are you sleeping here?"
She was worried, "Did you not come back last night?"
She knew that he stayed away from home for many nights.
He said he was going to the club to play, but Li Huzhu didn't persuade him.
To Li Huzhu, his brother is an adult.
He has his own judgment and his own reason.
Even if he is addicted to sensuality, he cannot be brought back in a moment.
Since he wants to go to the club, let him go.
Li Jing now manages the household affairs for Mayor Li.
The Li family has a huge business, and this alone is enough to worry about. Li Jing can still find time to go out and play. Li Huzhu naturally thought that he had some emotions he wanted to vent, or someone he wanted to make friends with.
"...played cards all night."
He smiled, his eyes dyed golden by the sunlight passing through the branches, hot and loving.
The pupils under the strong light are light brown, with a hint of smile inside.
"Nonsense, daddy will beat you if he finds out."
Li Huzhu made a serious face, "What's the matter with you, Li Jing?
Are you obsessed with courtesans or gambling?"
If he wasn't happy, he would call him by his first name.
When he resisted, she said she was only a few minutes younger than him.
Maybe she was bigger in the belly, but he came out first.
Li Jing's smile continued: "Guess who I played cards with last night."
"Can't guess..."
"Master Xi Qi and Mrs. Qi."
Li Jing smiled with a wanton look, a bit like teasing her.
Li Huzhu was startled: "Really?"
"You and Mrs. Seven are familiar with each other. You can call and find out whether it is true or false."
Li Jing said, "When have I ever lied to you?"
Li Huzhu: "..."
She sat down next to him and asked for details.
In fact, there were no details. Yun Qiao was just playing cards and didn't do anything insignificant; Xi Lanting didn't talk much.
At the end of the day, they went to eat wontons, but Yun Qiao wanted to warn them not to talk nonsense.
All in all, it's really lackluster.
Li Huzhu seemed surprised and asked in detail, so Li Jing had to tell her one by one.
"...It should be to celebrate her passing the exam."
Li Jing said again.
Li Huzhu understood.
Even so, she still advised Li Jing: "Brother, don't stay up late in the future."
Li Jing: "Do you still care about this?"
"It's not about controlling, just persuading.
If you insist on staying up late playing cards, there's nothing I can do about it.
Gambling is always not a good thing. Even if you are not addicted now, you will become addicted to it gradually."
Li Huzhu said.
Li Jing stood up.
"I know, you're giving me a headache. I'm going to take a nap."
He said.
Li Huzhu: "..."
When he walked away, his shoulders were flat and not slumped. He was upright and handsome. He was her closest brother.
But Li Huzhu just felt that he was extremely tired recently.
He has something very serious on his mind.
She didn't understand and couldn't figure it out, but she was just a little worried about him.
