Happy Little Scholar

Chapter 676: Be more restrained

In June of the same year in Jinghe, from the moment he first saw Miss Liu Er on the horse, he had lost countless battles with Miss Liu Er. This was the first time that Li Yi had an absolute advantage.

Finally feeling proud and proud, he stood up and started singing, and his mood somehow improved.

He picked up the two account books and flipped through them casually. He usually ordered others to do things like checking the accounts. Mr. Accountant had never experienced this feeling.

Shaking his head, he turned and entered the room.

Inside the room, Miss Liu Er was sitting on the bed, looking at him coldly with eyes like swords.

Just watch. Anyway, she can't beat herself now. Maybe after she recovers from her injury, she won't be able to beat herself anymore. Thinking about it, she still has some small expectations in her heart.

Sitting at the table, he opened the two account books and read them carefully.

"Ah sneeze!"

In a room somewhere in the Lin Mansion, a short-bearded man sat on the bed wrapped in a quilt and sneezed hard.

Yesterday, my clothes caught fire, and I jumped into the pond in the mansion out of desperation. Although I was not burned, my head felt groggy when I woke up the next morning. The doctor said that I had caught wind and cold, and I had to take good care of myself at home these days... …

This made his dissatisfaction with the new accountant in the house almost reach its peak.

A young man stood in front of the bed and said with a frown: "Dad, eldest sister is going too far. She almost treats our Lin family as her own. This can't continue like this. I just want one hundred taels of silver from her today." , she didn’t even give it to me, and asked me where the last two hundred taels of silver went..."

The short-bearded man waved his hand and said, "I understand, go and call your third and fourth uncles."

"Okay, I'll go right away." The young man responded, stood up and walked out the door.

"Wait a minute."

The short-bearded man stopped him and asked, "Where did you spend the two hundred taels of silver last time?"

The young man was startled and said, "Last time at the Chunfang Tower Oiran Competition, I donated it to Miss Xiangxiang."

"It's very generous of you to just throw two hundred taels of silver to a prostitute."

The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. When you come back, go to the ancestral hall and kneel for two hours."

"------" The young man paused as he was about to step out.

Li Yi stretched for a long time, and his body made a crackling sound.

After more than a month of turmoil, I couldn't eat well or sleep well. I finally slept in a bed all day, and now I have to sleep on the ground again. It's better to move out as soon as possible.

I'm going to visit the Lin family's shop this morning. I made an appointment with the man named Lin Yong yesterday to clean up the yard there. If I go quickly, I can move there tonight.

"Brother Li, are you up? We are leaving soon!"

As soon as he finished washing and walked into the yard, the big man was already shouting outside the door.

"Come out soon."

Li Yi stood in the yard and responded to him, then returned to the room to tell Miss Liu Er, then opened the door and walked out.

A big man named Lin Yong came over and urged: "Hurry up, the lady should have gone out by now."

Li Yi waved his hand forward, "Let's go."

The Lin family owns several jewelry stores in Fengzhou. Although they are not considered a wealthy businessman, their family fortune is considered substantial.

The shop they were going to at this time was located in the most prosperous area of ​​​​the city. The name of the shop was very good.

Honglin Court.

The name of this jewelry store is very unique. When a certain talented man was tired from studying and wanted to relax, he was walking on the street, looked up, and happened to see such an attractive... brothel.

So he happily entered the store, but was surrounded by people because he touched the female waiter's hand. A frivolous woman could not escape the crime. In desperation, he could only spend a hundred taels in the store to get rid of the problem, otherwise he would be sued. To the government...

It's a pity that there are only male waiters in the store. Obviously, Miss Lin has not thought of this good way to make money.

"These are all valuable things. You move slowly. Put this down and I'll do it!" The man was in front of him instructing the men to unload the things from the car. Many of the goods were transported from Jingguo.

Although Jingguo lagged behind Qi in every aspect economically and militarily, it was far ahead in terms of trends and was sought after by all surrounding countries, including Qi.

Ruyi dew, perfume, soap, women's bras, these popular things in Jingguo were also very popular in Qiguo. I don't know how many businessmen transported these things from Jingguo to Qiguo and made a lot of money.

If the old emperor saw this scene, he would be very pleased. In some aspects, Jingguo has subtly affected many surrounding countries.

The man greeted him in the shop and said, "Put this in the most conspicuous place. Be careful. This horse is worth eight thousand taels of silver. If it gets damaged, you can't even afford to sell it."

Li Yi couldn't help but froze when he saw that he took something out of the box and placed it where he could see it as soon as he entered the shop.

After a while, he walked over slowly and asked the woman, "Miss Lin, did you also buy this horse from Jingguo?"

Lin Wanru glanced at her and said calmly: "This is called a horse stepping on a flying swallow."

Li Yi knew that the horse was called "Horse Stepping on Flying Swallow". The four characters on the base were made by him. This Miss Lin was good to her and Miss Liu Er. Li Yi felt bad for her spending eight thousand taels of silver to buy such a thing.

Her situation in the Lin Mansion seemed to be not very good. When Liuli was really sold as glass, wouldn't she be blamed by those people?

As a grateful person, he would remind her when he had the chance to change hands of this thing as soon as possible, otherwise he would feel even worse.

However, Miss Lin looked unhappy now. There was still a long way to go, so it would be okay to tell her later.

"The girl is still injured."

Hearing her suddenly speak, Li Yi turned his head in confusion, not knowing what she meant by suddenly saying this.

Lin Wanru glanced at him, her face slightly abnormal, and said, "You better be more restrained during this period."

"Restraint, what do you mean?" Li Yi asked in confusion.

Lin Wanru did not answer this time, but turned and left.

"It's inexplicable."

Li Yi watched her leave in a hurry, shook his head, walked over and asked the man: "Brother Lin, where is the nearest pawnshop?"

"Pawnshop?" The man showed a trace of doubt on his face and asked: "Why are you asking about the pawnshop?"

"If you have no money, just tell me and you can get some from me first."

Li Yi shook his head and said: "I just happen to have some useless things on me and want to pawn them."

"Okay."

The big man nodded, pointed in a certain direction, and said: "The pawnshop is quite far from here. You walk forward from here. Do you see the cloud? Walk under the cloud, turn right for one street, then turn left, and walk about two streets, then..., then..."

The big man scratched his head and said: "That's all I remember. When you get there, ask someone else."

"------"

Li Yi was proud of his sense of direction for being able to find this pawnshop with such an unreliable way of giving directions.

He looked at the two big words "Pawn" standing on the door of the shop and walked in.
