Chapter 675: Burn Yourself
"Look at it, look at it!"
The short-bearded man pointed to Lin Wanru's departing back, and said angrily: "This girl, it's really getting more and more disagreeable, do you still take us elders in your eyes?" ”
"It's already like this now, if it takes a few more years, when she gets married, this Lin family won't be surnamed Lin!"
"In the past two years, she has become more and more arbitrary."
"If this continues, the Lin family will become her Lin family alone!"
……
……
After Lin Wanru left, the council hall, under the leadership of the short-bearded man, immediately became noisy.
"Okay, okay......"
An old man sitting at the top of the place waved his hand, stood up and said: "Okay, it's not the first time you've seen her like this, the money that should be given to you is not less every year, just take the money honestly, and don't point fingers at business matters." ”
The old man glanced at everyone and walked out slowly with his hands behind his back.
The short-bearded man's face alternated between red and white, and after a moment, he waved his hand and said, "No matter what, I don't agree to let an outsider take care of the Lin family's account, I want to see what kind of sacredness she brought back!" ”
After speaking, he snorted coldly, brushed his sleeves and left.
In the small courtyard, a woman named Lin Wanru put two thick account books on the stone table and said: "During this time, there is no problem for you to stay in the Lin family first, but there must be a reason, otherwise there will always be some trouble, these two account books will be left with you first, if anyone asks, just say that you are my new account office, if you have any other plans in the future, you can leave at any time." ”
Li Yi nodded and said, "Thank you, Miss Lin." ”
"Don't thank me." Lin Wanru glanced into the room and said: "Although you are a scholar, but since you have come to this point, put away the set of weak scholars, and look like a man, in the future, the two of you will live and start a family, it is not as simple as studying, a woman, can do this step for you, I hope you don't lose her." ”
After she said this, she turned around and left, Li Yi stood in place in a daze, her expression a little dazed.
The man walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Miss's aunt was a scholar who eloped with a scholar despite the opposition of the family, and then the scholar had a new love, and then later, and then later, the end of that young lady was not very good......"
The man sighed and said, "I passed away within two years of returning to the house, and Miss was the closest to her before, so she has always had a prejudice against scholars." ”
A look of astonishment appeared on Li Yi's face, he didn't expect this Miss Lin to have such an experience.
In this way, if he and Miss Liu Er hadn't been misunderstood by her, I am afraid that they would not have been able to get such care along the way.
Dahan patted him on the shoulder again and said, "So, you should be kind to this girl, the most hated thing by my young lady is the person who abandons from the beginning." ”
Li Yi came back to his senses, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely treat her well." ”
"Brother Li, you are not that kind of person at first glance, I believe in you, otherwise, Miss would not take care of you like this." The big man smiled and waved away.
Li Yi shook his head, and when he was about to walk back to the room, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Stop."
He turned his head and watched as several figures stepped into the courtyard.
The leader is a middle-aged man with a short beard on his chin, and the two behind him are obviously lackeys and can be automatically ignored.
The middle-aged man glanced at him and asked, "You are the bookkeeper that Wanru invited?" ”
"Exactly." Li Yi replied.
The person in front of him seemed to have a trace of hostility towards him, from his name for that Lin girl, combined with the information he got from that man's mouth, it should be the "trouble" that Lin Wanru just said.
The middle-aged man looked at him, there was a hint of threat in his tone, and said: "I don't care what she promised you, I only advise you, I don't interfere in the affairs of my Lin family, young man, you should know what it means to set yourself on fire." ”
Li Yi waved his sleeves lightly and did not speak.
Ignored nakedly, a trace of anger appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and he said, "Do you know who I am? ”
"I don't know who you are." Li Yi sighed, pointed to the hem of his shirt, and said, "I only know what it is to set yourself on fire......
The middle-aged man followed the direction of his finger, looked down, and then his face changed greatly, only to see that he didn't know when, the hem of his shirt burned directly, and next to his feet, there was a pot for boiling medicine, and the fire under the pot was very strong at this time, and it burned to the hem of his clothes.
"Second master, there's a pond outside!"
A person next to him saw him laboriously unbuttoning a row of buttons on his shirt, and hurriedly said.
The second old man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he pulled out his legs and ran outside.
"I don't have the quality, and I don't know how to close the door." After the three of them left in a hurry, Li Yi walked over and closed the courtyard door, and when he walked back again, he waved his sleeves casually and blew part of the fire aside, and then just boiled it with a small fire for a while.
Miss Liu Er, who had changed her clothes, walked out, sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, and asked, "When are we going back?" ”
I can't always wear the clothes of the inn maid, when the girl Lin came over just now, she brought food by the way, and also sent her a few clothes.
"Wait until your injuries heal." Li Yi turned the fire and said.
I can't rush back for the time being, and now I have to find a way to get some silver.
Obviously, a sentence can decide a business of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but now the two of them together do not have a copper plate on their bodies, so they can't rely on that Miss Lin for everything.
Miss Liu Er is now weak, buy some precious medicinal herbs to make some medicinal food, presumably her injuries will heal faster.
And all these require silver.
These things will be talked about when we move out of the Lin family in two days.
After a while, Li Yi filtered the boiled medicinal juice into a bowl, walked into the room, looked at Miss Liu Er and said, "It's time to take the medicine." ”
Miss Liu Er looked up at him and stretched out her palm.
"There's only one left." Li Yi put the last toffee in her hand.
"Drink half of that." Miss Liu Er put away the candy and said.
Li Yi shook his head and said resolutely: "No, drink it all." ”
Miss Liu Er frowned: "Half." ”
Li Yi suddenly thought of something and asked, "Are you unable to use your true qi now?" ”
As if she had smelled something, Miss Liu Er looked up at him and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
"What do you say?" Li Yi looked down at her and said with a smile: "Open your mouth obediently......"
"You dare!"
"Are you open?"
"No!"
"Don't force me to do it myself......"
"Try it!"
"Try it, just try it."
"Let go of my ......, you wait, wait until I get better, I'll ......"
……
Outside the courtyard gate, Lin Wanru wanted to remind the scholar not to care about other people's words, listening to the faint voice from inside, she stood outside the door in a daze at the moment, and couldn't help but be a little red-faced.
She glanced inside angrily, and quickly turned away.
After a while, Li Yi walked out of the room, saw the two account books on the stone table in the courtyard, and walked over slowly.
