Happy Little Scholar

A girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, isn't it childish to sing such a song...

Li Yi shook his head, and when he walked into the yard, he heard Zeng Zuimo's maids Xiao Cui and Xiao Zhu whispering.

"What happened to Mr. Chen last time?" Xiao Zhu glanced in the direction of the swing, and asked in a low voice when she saw Zeng Zuimo didn't notice this side.

Xiao Cui curled her lips and said, "What else can it be? I have been to the door several times, but the young lady didn't see him."

"I heard that Mr. Chen's family is not bad, and his family is an official..."

"Officials are great, we even know a noble one!" Xiao Cui didn't agree at all, and said, "Mr. Chen is not good-looking, so the young lady doesn't want to be his concubine. If the official is not good, the young lady will be wronged."

If the young lady went there, she would naturally follow.

The young man Chen actually looked pretty good, a handsome boy, but compared with Mr. Li, he was still not as good. Even if it wasn't for the young lady, for her own sake, she would definitely choose someone she liked more.

However, neither the young lady nor Mr. Li seemed to have that intention. This wouldn't work. Otherwise, wait until the next time the young lady takes a bath or changes clothes, and then put Mr. Li in?

This is something that can be considered...

If it can be done, it would be even better.

"What Mr. Chen?" Li Yi came over and asked curiously.

"He is just an admirer of the young lady who wants to take the young lady as a concubine. He has come several times." Xiao Cui looked back at Li Yi and said immediately.

After saying that, her eyes were fixed on the expression on Li Yi's face.

"Take a concubine?" Li Yi's face changed. This wouldn't work. If the goddess of Luoshui ran away with someone else, where would he find such a good chief designer, chief painter, chief brothel agent..., all of them, wouldn't it be a mess?

Seeing the expression on his face, Xiao Cui finally felt relieved.

"What are you talking about?" Zeng Zuimo came over and asked with Yongning in his arms.

"Talking about Mr. Chen." Xiao Zhu said immediately.

"Why are you talking about him? He's a nobody..." Zeng Zuimo panicked for no reason. He glanced at Li Yi and shook his head.

"That's right." Li Yi nodded and said in great agreement: "Girls are in their prime at 18. Even the imperial court said that it's best for women to get married after they turn 20... By the way, who is Mr. Chen?"

Xiao Cui thought for a moment and said, "It seems that there is a Yuanwailang in Mr. Chen's family?"

"What kind of wolf is a Yuanwailang? Does it bite people?" Xiao Zhu asked in confusion.

"Yuanwailang?" Li Yi shook his head and said, "How can a mere Yuanwailang be worthy of your lady? Yuanwailang's son is even less worthy. Tell him next time he comes that when he kicks the Minister of Rites to sit on top of him, we can talk about this matter again."

Xiao Cui nodded vigorously. Zeng Zuimo looked at him. Although what he said was very pleasant to hear, why did he still have the urge to slap him?

Zeng Zuimo glared at him and said, "Bah! The Minister of Rites is already a third-rank official, and you can say such a thing!"

Li Yi sighed and said, "Women should be self-reliant. If you look down on yourself, who else can look up to you? What's wrong with the Minister of Rites? What's wrong with a third-rank official? You are still the famous goddess of Luoshui in Jingguo. As long as you say a word, people who want to marry you can line up from here to outside the city. How can you not have this little confidence?"

Zeng Zuimo: "------"

Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I will arrange a few more people to guard here after today. If Chen dares to harass us again, break his legs!"

"I haven't thought about getting married yet!" Zeng Zuimo glanced at him and said.

Li Yi nodded and said, "That's right. As citizens of Jingguo, we must respond to the call of the country and don't rush to get married..."

……

……

I felt particularly relaxed when I came, but I felt a little depressed when I left.

This bastard surnamed Chen, why did he come to make trouble at the critical moment?

Miss Zeng is only eighteen at most, and she will be twenty in two years. She can't even get a marriage certificate, so what's the point of asking for a kiss.

Besides, the Ministry of Rites, the surname Chen, isn't it obvious that it is related to the Chen Guogong Mansion?

The Ministry of Rites is basically the territory of the Chen family. I think this official should be the same. I'm afraid he is a branch or relative of the Chen family. There are not many good people related to the Chen Guogong Mansion. Can he push Miss Zeng into the fire pit?

Obviously not!

It's his duty to go through fire and water for his friends, even if it offends the Chen family, although it seems that they have already offended them...

Li Yi sighed. If Miss Zeng wants to leave, she really can't bear it. Although the two have never gotten along well since the first meeting, they have experienced so many things together, not just because of her importance in the brothel and other places.

It was just a joke just now. With her personality, if she really wants to do something, I'm afraid no one can stop her.

From the fact that she resolutely withdrew from Qun Yu Yuan when she was the most popular, even though she became famous as the Goddess of Luoshui and her value skyrocketed a hundred times and a thousand times, she still did not regret it, and lived a hard life with Xiao Cui, we can see what kind of opinion she has.

Of course, if she really chooses to leave, Li Yi will not stop her------Of course, he has to stop her!

He must persuade her with emotion, persuade her with reason, and tempt her with benefits, and he must keep her no matter what!

No matter how selfish she is, she can't let her stay in the brothel for a lifetime. That day will always come. Li Yi has a headache. Is there a way to completely solve this problem?

"Brother, I like the sister Zeng just now." Walking on the road, Yongning held his hand and suddenly turned her head and said something.

Li Yi squatted down and picked her up, letting her sit on his shoulders, and said, "Why does Xinyi like her?"

"She sings for Xinyi." Yongning said while shaking her calves.

Li Yi shook his head. Yongning's affection for Zeng Zuimo was naturally not because she was willing to sing such childish songs for her. In her subconscious, she was afraid that she also regarded her as someone familiar in her previous life. Even if she had only seen her on TV, it was precious to her.

"Brother, do you like sister Zeng?" Yongning asked, grabbing Li Yi's neck.

"..."

"Do you like her..."

"I like..." Li Yi sighed and said helplessly, his neck was about to be broken by shaking.

"Yeah, I knew it!" The little girl was obviously happy.

"Brother, I want to hear you sing." When she was alone with Li Yi, she talked more.

"Okay, what song do you want to listen to?"

"Two Tigers."

"..."

"Can you..., change a song?"

"What to change?"

"How about "Don't Look at Me as Just a Sheep"?"

"I just heard this one..."

"Okay, okay..." Li Yi could only shake his head helplessly again, and a moment later, a voice came out.

"Two tigers, two tigers,

Run fast, run fast,

One has no ears,

One has no tail,

How strange! How strange..."

A few steps behind him, several palace guards pursed their lips tightly, but did not dare to laugh, their bodies trembled slightly, and their faces were a little blue.

Even the two gray-clothed old men couldn't help but twitch their faces when they looked up and looked forward.

Hearing a movement behind him, Li Yi turned around, saw their expressions, and said coldly: "If anyone dares to laugh today, he will push the merry-go-round for me all day tomorrow!"

This is a life-threatening job. Upon hearing this, several guards immediately straightened their faces and no longer showed any strange colors.

Li Yi turned around with satisfaction and continued to sing: "Two tigers..."

"Puff!"

"Haha!"

"I really can't help it..."

The guards staggered around holding their stomachs, and Li Yi's expression was calm and he didn't look back.

Old Fang has been a bit hard these days, and it's time to take a few days off to relax...
