[Red House] Li Changan

It was autumn, and the fields were full of waves of rice and grain waiting to be harvested. On the ridges of the fields, there were children catching loaches in the mud ditches with their trousers on their heels.

Daiyu raised her hand to brush off the hair sticking to her cheeks, only to feel the autumn wind blowing away, blowing away the haze of the past few days.

When you come to these places when you are in a bad mood, you can open up your mind a lot.

"No wonder you were able to buy the Lin family's house. It turns out that you still hold so much rent in your hands. I'm afraid it's more than that?" Daiyu looked back at Li Chang'an and said with a smile: "Mr. Before you leave, will you tell me how much property you hold in your hand?"

Li Changan led Daiyu to the field, couldn't help laughing: "It's not just to tell you, these things are all for you in the future."

for her?

These are all for her?Daiyu was startled, but didn't react for a while.

She knew that Li Changan cared about her, and also knew that what Li Changan said was not false, but how could she manage so many tenants and other shops that she didn't know about.

Especially since she has never been exposed to these, even if she learns, it will take some time.

"Zhao Qing is here, wouldn't it be good to let Zhao Qing take care of it?"

"I'm going to ask him to help you, but you have to do it yourself. These rents are recorded by every household. You only need to check the accounts every month to see that they are all collected. There are still those who cannot pay the rent. It’s not that you can’t postpone it, it’s just that there is a way of doing business, and it’s not difficult to repay what you borrow, but if you can’t pay back after three to five months, it’s probably an old man.”

Li Changan explained to Daiyu as he walked, seeing the surprise on Daiyu's face, he said softly: "I still have a shop in the city, it's not an expensive business, it's a weapon shop, you just need to pay attention to it every month. Just check the account."

There really is a shop?Still in Yangzhou city.

Daiyu was surprised, but also felt that Li Changan was really a "rebel" person.

But whoever was born in an official family like Li Chang'an, who would start from scratch to make a living by himself, who would not rely on the influence of his family to plan his future.

Unexpectedly, Li Chang'an not only gave up his official career, he even looked down on the scientific examination.

If she—

Suddenly a thought came to Daiyu, and Daiyu stopped and looked up at Li Changan.

If Li Changan didn’t marry her, then Li Changan would—really don’t plan to join the army or take scientific examinations, marry a well-matched person or someone he likes, run one or two shops together, and spend the rest of his life collecting the rent every month.

Perhaps, one day when the business grows bigger, it will become a wealthy businessman.

"What's the matter?" Li Changan stopped and looked at Daiyu: "If you are tired, let's take a rest."

Daiyu lowered her head, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Li Changan's life must be unhappy in his heart, and he was farther and farther away from the life he wanted to live.

The tip of the nose is slightly sour, and I feel my heart is blocked.

She knew that these were not her reasons, so Li Changan's desire to join the army was not born overnight, if these things did not happen, Li Changan would also join the army.

But she still couldn't help but feel sad. What Li Changan had thought about before was a simple and comfortable life with three or five rooms and a small courtyard.

"Master." Daiyu leaned into Li Changan's arms and buried her head, "You..."

Li Changan was stunned, not knowing why Daiyu was wronged suddenly, after regaining his senses, he stretched out his hand and patted Daiyu's back lightly, and coaxed softly: "It's rare to see a lady acting like a baby, it seems that she wants me to carry you over."

"Who told you this?" Daiyu was full of words, all of which were shattered by Li Changan's words, and the melancholy just disappeared in an instant.

I really don't know whether to say that Li Changan is too transparent, or that he is incomprehensible.

After loosening her grip on Li Changan's skirt, Daiyu raised her head to look at the person in front of her, and couldn't help but smile.

"If you go from here, don't you want to go to the farmhouse?" Daiyu backed away from Li Changan's arms, looked around, and found that many people were looking at them, and some even greeted Li Changan.

It seems that Li Changan often comes here.

Looking at Li Changan curiously, Daiyu asked, "Do you come here often?"

"I come here two or three times a month, mainly to see the harvest of the farmers. If the harvest is not good, my rent will naturally not be collected. After careful calculation, there should be—"

Li Changan thought for a while before saying: "Calculated carefully, it has been more than three years."

"Where did you get your money?"

"Win the bet."

What?Is there still such a way to win capital?When Daiyu heard this, she couldn't laugh or cry, she didn't know whether to say that Li Changan was lucky, or that God really favored him.

However, if you want to change it to something else, probably the money is not capital, but sitting on nothing, or squandering it. Li Changan is really talented in business if he can think of using it as capital to buy land and open a store.

The two walked on the field ridge one after the other. From the field ridge to the path, they could already see the smoke rising from the kitchen. It seemed that they were about to prepare lunch.

The countryside is really suitable for living in seclusion. I only worry about three meals a day. I work and sleep at sunrise.

"Thinking about what?"

"I used to think about it when I was in Jia's mansion. If one day, I could reconcile with—" Daiyu paused, and seeing the expression on Li Changan's face, she couldn't help smiling, and said angrily, "Isn't that young? I always think it's unrealistic." I always thought that it was a lifetime, but later I realized that it was just a lifetime that I thought about alone.”

Half a year ago, Daiyu would never have imagined that one day when she brought up the matter of Jia's house, her heart would be so calm that she would not be able to make any waves.

I have complained, hated, and loved, and looking back now, I am really trapped in a cocoon, and I have implicated myself.

She is no longer there, she has her own life to live in front of her, and important people to like, why bother to cling to the past.

"It's not necessarily that he treats you with a lie, but that place is not suitable for you." The jealousy on Li Changan's face quickly flashed: "In the palace——"

"kindness?"

"I heard that the lady in Jia's mansion was pregnant but fell ill."

fall sick?

A flash of astonishment flashed across Daiyu's face, she suddenly remembered something, she shook her head and said, "That place in the palace, who knows if it's really sick or fake."

Li Changan looked at Daiyu in surprise, and then smiled—his wife is one of the few smart and stupid people in this world.

Holding Daiyu's hand tightly, Li Changan led her to the side alley, and stopped in front of a house.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door, seeing Daiyu's surprised face, Li Changan only smiled at her, signaling her not to worry.

"Who? This—"

"Second son!"

"Sister-in-law Wang, is your elder brother Wang here?"

"I'm in the field, I guess I'll be back soon." Sister-in-law Wang wiped her hands on her apron with a smile on her face, and hurriedly said, "Come in and sit down, don't stay outside."

Sister-in-law Wang greeted her, and when she saw Daiyu, surprise flashed across her face, she was both joyful and happy, and her smile deepened: "This fairy-like girl is probably the young lady whom the second son cares about day and night, right? Come on, hurry up!" sit in."

It turned out to be acquainted.

Daiyu glanced at Li Changan, seeing Li Changan entered the courtyard with composure, Daiyu had no choice but to follow, somewhat puzzled how Li Changan even had friendship with the people in this village.

"Brother Chang'an, you are here. You said last time that you are going to marry a wife, so you won't be able to come for a long time. This—" The five-year-old child ran from the wooden horse, still holding the candy in his hand, sticking Confused, he grabbed Li Changan's sleeve recklessly: "Is this the lady you just married?"

"Well, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Li Changan reached out to pick up the little boy, and glanced at Daiyu: "It's much prettier than the gods in the paintings."

"What kind of gods do you see in the painting? I've only seen ones in theatrical troupes."

"Douzi, you are so dirty, why are you still looking at people, you—come down quickly!" Sister-in-law Wang just looked up when she entered the kitchen and saw Wang Doudou being hugged by Li Changan, pouring water and scolding: "Come down, go!" Wash up and come back to see guests."

Li Changan didn't care, he waved his hand: "It's not a problem, Doudou is cute, but with this body, I'm afraid he was rolling around in the mud with someone grabbing candy, right?"

"In the past few days, these children have been going to the fields every three days. Every day they either pick up a pile of snails or a lot of loach and dried shrimps. They clamor to get them to eat, and they don't even look at how much they have. Where is enough to eat?"

Sister-in-law Wang said with a smile, "However, it's almost time to harvest rice. These children have somewhere to play. It's better to go to the river and the mountains."

When Wang Doudou heard that her mother was revealing her shortcomings, she wanted to stop her, but she didn't stop her even after saying a few words.

Daiyu next to her watched Li Changan teasing the child, and felt relieved in her heart. She thought that Li Changan didn't like children's temper. After all, besides being stable, Li Changan was very childish.

Unexpectedly, Li Changan not only likes children, but also likes them very much.

"Hurry up, call someone, call... Sister Lin."

"Sister Lin?"

"My wife, her maiden name is Lin, what do you want to be called if you don't call her sister Lin?" Li Changan put the child down, glanced at the black palm prints on the cuffs, and smiled helplessly.

This really went to the ground and rolled a few times, making this body dirty, really muddy.

Wang Doudou stared at Daiyu for a while, then suddenly blushed, then ran under the tree, squatted down beside the basin and washed her hands obediently, washing off the dirt on her hands and face one by one, and took a handkerchief Go wipe the mud off your body.

Li Changan stood there with his arms folded, raised his eyebrows with an expression of watching a play.

What tricks is this kid playing again?

"he--"

"This kid probably has some other ideas. Just watch and you'll know in a while."

Daiyu couldn't help laughing, she felt that Li Changan was really childish, with a prudent side, hiding too deeply, listening to this, it didn't look like a married man said it, but he could play with a five-year-old child for as long as he wanted Together.

He shook his head lightly, waiting to see what Li Changan said.

The two of them were talking in low voices, when Wang Doudou, who cleaned herself up a bit, ran over on short legs, and——

It's towards Daiyu.

"Sister Lin, are you really married to Brother Chang'an? How about you wait for me for a few years and I'll marry you!"

……

The air seemed to freeze for a moment, Daiyu stared at Wang Doudou, who was only waist-high, dumbfounded, and turned her head to look at Li Changan, who was even more shocked than her.

"You boy, what nonsense are you talking about? See if I don't punish you!" Sister-in-law Wang came out with hot tea, and when she heard this sentence, she put down the tea tray anxiously, and was about to pick up a wooden stick to teach Wang Doudou a lesson.

Wang Doudou hid directly until Daiyu stretched out her hand, poked her head out and said, "Mother, Sister Lin is beautiful, and I want to marry such a daughter-in-law in the future."

"How old are you, to think about these things, see if I don't teach you a lesson, you——!"

really-

Daiyu looked at Li Chang'an embarrassingly, seeing that Li Chang'an was still smiling, she gave him a shameful look.

What time is it, and you still have the mood to laugh, didn't you see that she was about to get into the cracks in the ground?

"You—you're still laughing!"

"Young lady is really popular." Li Changan smiled and took two steps towards Daiyu, put his hand directly around her waist, and pushed away Wang Doudou's hand with the other: "However, you will never marry her like this in your life."

After patting Li Chang'an's hand, Daiyu said angrily in a low voice, "What are you fussing about with the child..."

Hearing Daiyu's words, Li Chang'an said again: "Because she is mine, there is only one of you, Sister Lin, in this world."
