Happy Little Scholar

"This is Brother Li's house, so luxurious..." Lin Yong stood in front of a mansion, looked up and couldn't help saying.

The woman next to him glanced at him and said, "After entering, don't call him like this anymore. This is not Qi State, and he is no longer the accountant of the Lin family. You must know the hierarchy."

"Don't worry, Miss, I know all this." Lin Yong nodded and walked towards the door.

When Lao Fang and Li Yi came out, they couldn't help saying, "Son-in-law, actually I think you should apologize to the second lady for this matter. You shouldn't have kept such an important matter from her. It's normal for her to be angry with you..."

"So, the sister-in-law of the Fang family already knows about Xiaohong?"

"This is different. The second lady is not..." Lao Fang opened his mouth and shook his head again, "Forget it, it's the same..., but I still think that the son-in-law is wrong in this matter."

Li Yi nodded, "I know, it's my fault, I will talk to her."

"Brother Li!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came to his ear.

Generally speaking, other people only address him as son-in-law, master, Lord Li, and Marquis of Li County. If they are a little more familiar, like Li Xuan, they never need to address him. It has been a long time since I heard the name "Brother Li".

Li Yi raised his head and saw the man standing at the door with a look of surprise. He was stunned at first, and then surprise and surprise appeared on his face, "Brother Lin, why are you here?"

Lin Yong smiled and said, "I came here with the lady to do business, and I came to see you."

"It's New Year's Day, and you are still so hard." She gave him a bear hug and asked, "Where is Miss Lin?"

Lin Yong turned around, pointed to the back, and said, "There, I was just about to let someone go in to pass the message, and you came out."

Looking outside the mansion, Li Yi walked over quickly. The woman looked at him with a smile and stretched out her hand. hand, and said: "Long time no see."

"Long time no see..." Li Yi smiled and nodded, then looked at her outstretched hand in confusion and asked: "This is..."

Lin Wanru looked at him in surprise and asked: "Handshake, isn't this the etiquette here?"

"Oh, yes, yes..." Li Yi suddenly realized, stretched out his hand and gently touched her palm, and asked tentatively: "You won't salute everyone like this along the way, right?"

Lin Wanru shook her head, "You are the first."

"That's good, that's good." Li Yi nodded, and said: "This kind of, well, The handshake is actually a lost etiquette in my hometown. No one knows how to use it now, so when you meet someone in the future, just give a normal greeting..."

"I see." Lin Wanru looked at him meaningfully, nodded, looked up at him again, and asked: "The handshake in your hometown..., do you need to hold it for so long?"

"Uh..., it depends on the time we've been apart. We haven't seen each other for more than half a year, so we should hold it for a little longer." Li Yi naturally let go of her hand and said, "Don't stand outside anymore, go in quickly."

He turned around and waved to Lao Fang, saying, "By the way, Lao Fang, go and inform the eldest lady that there are distinguished guests at home. "

When entering the mansion, Li Yi turned his head and asked her: "The New Year is coming soon, why are you here at this time?"

"Doing business, there is no difference between celebrating the New Year or not..." Lin Wanru smiled and said: "The more it is at this time, the busier it is. In previous years, I rarely stayed at home, but this year I went a little further."

This is more than just a little further. If it is a caravan, it will take at least several months to come from Qi State. This round trip will delay at least half a year on the road.

Ruyi came out from inside and bowed to Lin Wanru first, then looked at Li Yi and asked: "My husband, this girl is..."

Li Yi introduced: "This is Miss Lin Wanru, whom I often mentioned to you. Ruyi and I were in Qi during that time, thanks to Miss Lin's care."

"So this is Miss Lin." Ruyi took her hand and said: "My husband and Ruyi were stranded in Qi, thanks to Miss Lin's care. I have always wanted to thank you. This time I finally have the chance. Come in..."

Lin Wanru smiled, "Madam Li is polite..."

Watching them walk in hand in hand, Li Yi looked around and asked: "Where is Ruyi?"

During the time in Qi, Miss Liu Er only had Lin Wanru as a friend. I believe she will be very happy to see her again.

A maid said, "The second young lady should be in the room."

"You go call her..." Li Yi said, then waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll go there myself."

You can't keep the cold war with the second young lady Liu. Someone has to speak first. Generally speaking, this person can only be him.

Seeing Xiao Huan sitting in the corridor in front of the second young lady Liu's room from a distance, Li Yi walked over and asked, "Is the second young lady in there?"

The little maid nodded, and Li Yi habitually rubbed her head and walked inside.

"Hey, son-in-law..." Xiao Huan immediately called him.

"What's wrong?" Li Yi turned around and asked in confusion, "Is there anything else?"

The little maid rolled her eyes, bit her lips, and then said with a smile, "It's okay, son-in-law, go in..."

With the lesson from last time, Li Yi knocked on the door first, and when he heard the sound of "come in" from inside, he pushed the door open and walked in.

After closing the door, he turned around and was stunned.

This time it was not because he saw something he shouldn't have seen. To be exact, he saw nothing this time.

The room was full of water vapor, blocking his sight. In addition, there was a faint fragrance.

Li Yi's face showed surprise. With this mist, could she be secretly cultivating in the room?

"Xiao Huan, add some more hot water for me."

When Miss Liu's voice came out from the mist, Li Yi finally realized what happened.

He cleared his throat and asked, "Um..., there is an important guest at home, do you want to go out and meet him?"

The voice in the mist paused, and then came again: "Go out."

Li Yi turned around decisively, without any hesitation, and when he closed the door, he carefully asked, "Um, do you want more hot water?"

...

Walking into the yard, he saw the little maid still standing there. Before he could speak, Xiaohuan covered her stomach and said with a bitter face: "Son-in-law, I, I have a stomachache, I will go back to my room first..."

Watching her slip away quickly, Li Yi was surprised: "Stomachache? It shouldn't be these days..."

He looked back at the door of Miss Liu Er's room, and decided to wait for her here.

Not long after, Miss Liu Er, who had changed her clothes, came out.

She didn't mention what happened just now, but looked at Li Yi and said calmly: "She came to the house?"

Li Yi was stunned when he heard this. No way, she could even guess this?

Seeing Li Yi's expression, her eyes fluctuated for a moment, and she asked again: "The painting hidden in your study is her, right? You have known each other for a long time?"

"Ah?"

"I tied you up to the mountain and separated you. If it weren't for me, you and her would have been... If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have cared about it, and I wouldn't have any reason to object." Miss Liu Er looked at him and said, "But you shouldn't have kept this from me. Next time, if you keep it from me like this... I will never talk to you again."

"Ah?"

"What?" She took a deep breath and said, "Let's go, Go meet the second wife of the Li family."

"What second wife?" Li Yi looked at her in surprise and said, "Miss Lin has come to Kyoto. I came to call you and take you to see her. What are you talking about?"

"Ah?"

"Ah what? What did you mean by what you just said?"

Miss Liu was stunned. After a moment, she waved her hand and said lightly, "Nothing, let's go."

When walking with her, Li Yi seemed to understand something. He suddenly stopped and looked at her, promising, "Don't worry, next time, next time, next time, next time..., I will not hide it from you, I swear..."
