"Let's close the door early today, there shouldn't be many guests on Chinese New Year's Eve, and after a few days of rest after the year, it's time to start busy again."

When she walked out of the hook bar again, Li Yi was holding a bunch of things in her arms, most of which were scripts, which she was going to take to Yangliu Lane to read in the past few days.

Wan Ruoqing shook his head and said: "Tomorrow is the first day of the new year, you can rest for another day, after the second day of the new year, there will be more guests, until the Lantern Festival, you can't be idle, the guests in these days in previous years are worth a few months on weekdays." ”

"Silver can never be earned, so we lose the original intention." Li Yi shook his head, and when he wanted to speak again, he suddenly threw the stack of books in his hand into the air, leaned over and held an old man who was on crutches and almost fell, and then stretched out his other hand to let the stack of books fall steadily in his hand.

"Old man, are you alright?" Seeing that the old man was standing firm, he let go of his hand and asked.

The old man waved his hand, looked him up and down a few times, and said, "Young man, you have good skills......

Li Yi looked at him, the wrinkles on his face were like tree bark, and from the physiognomy, he looked older than his second uncle, and said in surprise: "I don't know how old the old man is?" ”

The old man smiled on his face like a dead tree, stroked his beard, and said, "The old man is seventy and three this year. ”

As soon as the old man said this, even the face of Wan Ruoqing on the side appeared with surprise.

Ordinary people can live to the age of fifty, which is already considered a high life, and the age of the sixtieth birthday is even rarer, and if they can live to the age of ancient times, they are already regarded as an ancestor.

Li Yi also knew the meaning of thirty-three out of seventy in this world, and wondered: "Why is the old man alone outside, and your family?" ”

The old man always had a smile on his face and said, "Hehe, the old man is just bored at home, and he goes out to shop alone." ”

As he spoke, his eyes remained on the young man in front of him.

Looking at the youngest marquis in Jingguo, Dr. Jin Ziguanglu, known as the first genius in Jingguo, Li Yi, who is unparalleled in poetry and writing, and who is well versed in scriptures and righteousness------ is also the minister that Cui Qingze said.

From the incident just now, he already had a preliminary understanding of him, but it was too early to draw a final conclusion.

Hence the scene he just had and the temptation he was about to make.

He looked at Li Yi and said with a smile: "You ......"

"Hehe, the old man continues to shop, let's go first, there are many people on the street, remember to be careful when the old man walks, but don't fall down again......"

Li Yi smiled the same, glanced in a certain direction, turned his head to look at Wan Ruoqing, and said, "Let's go." ”

The old man stood on crutches in the street, his eyes looking ahead, until the figures of the young man and the woman disappeared, and his open mouth slowly closed.

A middle-aged man walked out from the direction that Li Yi had just glanced at, and said with a stunned expression: "Father, this is ......"

The old man's face showed a look of thought, and after a while, he asked, "The old man fell just now, is it a little fake?" ”

"Ah......h

"Isn't it?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said in a low voice, "Yes......"

……

"It's too fake." Li Yi shook his head and said, "Didn't you notice just now?" ”

Wan Ruoqing shook her head and said, "No, when I found out, you had already helped the old man up." ”

Li Yi shook his head and said: "Although the old man is not young, his body is very tough, that crutch can be thrown away, he actually fell down on purpose just now, and ah, there is another person next to him, who is watching us in the dark, it is likely to be his comrade......"

Although the old man just now is very old, when it comes to acting, he may not even be as good as a trick, if it is in the future life, it will definitely belong to the kind of person who touched porcelain and was beaten to death.

A look of doubt appeared on Wan Ruoqing's face, and she said, "Ah, but why did he ......?"

"You, you're just too good-hearted and too simple." Li Yi looked at her and said solemnly: "Now that the world is declining, people's hearts are not ancient, and there are many tricks for those bad people, just like the old man just now, if he said that he was knocked down by us, said that he had serious internal injuries, and pulled us on the street to prevent us from leaving, and let us pay a lot of silver, what should we do?"

Besides, he still has a fellow party in the shadows, and when the time comes, we will help him commit perjury, and we will go there to reason? ”

"Huh?"

A look of disbelief appeared on Ruoqing's face, she really hadn't thought about this, but such an old man, even when he arrived at the official mansion, he also had to sit in front of the hall, and even the county order had to salute and serve carefully, if they were really convicted, then ......

Recalling the kind old man just now, she looked at Li Yi and asked unconvincedly, "But, that old man just now, doesn't he look like that kind of person?" ”

"Then do you believe him or me?"

"Believe in you."

"That's right, I won't lie to you." Li Yi nodded with satisfaction, and then admonished: "It's a good thing that you are kind-hearted, but you must also keep an eye on everything, don't be deceived by some ill-intentioned people......"

Wan Ruoqing nodded obediently and said, "I know......"

……

"You really won't be there today?"

Yangliu Lane, in the small courtyard, Li Yi has confirmed with Zuimmo many times.

She shook her head and said, "But it's over, I'll stay here to accompany Sister Ruoqing, you don't have to worry about us being lonely here, the sisters in the goulan are all together at night, and the sisters who can't go home in the shop are also coming together, so it's more lively than your family." ”

Li Yi shook his head and corrected, "It's our family." ”

She glanced at him and repeated, "Your family." ”

Li Yi raised a hand and asked, "Whose home?" ”

Zeng Drunken Moqiao's face flushed, and a strange feeling came from a certain part of his body, which was his usual method when correcting himself, gave him a blank look, and said, "Your family! ”

……

"Our Family ......"

After a few snaps, he leaned on Li Yi's arms with a blushing face, and whispered: "Don't, don't be like this, Sister Ruoqing is still at home." ”

"She's going to take a shower, and she won't be able to get out for a while." Li Yi looked around and said, "Except for Xiao Cui who is hiding behind the tree, no one sees it." ”

"Cui?" Zeng Zuimo hurriedly came out of Li Yi's arms, carried the hem of his skirt, and ran under the laurel tree in the yard.

"Little ---- Green ----"

"Ah, Miss......"

The little girl's panicked voice didn't take long to come, "Miss, I ...... it on purpose, ah, no, I ...... it on purpose, ah, Gongzi Li help!" ”

Xiao Cui was dragged into the room by her and what Li Yi did is not clear, not long after, I saw Xiao Cui running out with a red face and covering her buttocks, and after a while, Zui Mo also walked out of the room.

"Here's for you." She handed an envelope to Li Yi.

"What is this?" Li Yi was surprised: "What is there to say, you can't say it in person......"

"This ...... was given to you by Lord Zeng." After she finished speaking, she handed him another letter and said, "This is the ...... given to you by Mrs. Chen."
