Li Li

Chapter 8

Xiao Yanjin didn't take him back after all, when Li Jiu said "Lili, cold", he put his hand on the door and didn't push it down.

His mind is clear, Li Li avoids him, what he does will only make him run away further and further.

Li Li never ran away before, and no one in the palace cared about whether he was cold or hungry. When Li Li sneaked over with food, he would steal a lot of things, and sometimes he would be beaten up if he was caught.

It's just that Xiao Yanjin took Li Li's kindness to him for granted, and kept asking for it like a maggot attached to a bone to suck up his flesh and blood, but he didn't like a person like him.

He looked down on Li Li, this man came in from a dog hole with a disheveled face and Xiao Yanjin stood in front of him, his eyes were dark, and it was as cold as the coldest climate in the twelfth lunar month.

At that time, he looked down on Li Li, just like the dust on the clothes on the ground, but he needed this person.

Xiao Yanjin's heart is very hard, Li Li said that his heart is like the ice in the ice cave, it's not that it can't melt, but the one who can melt is not himself.

Everyone has to despair once, disappear once, and die once before they can regain love and know the value of life again.

It's not that Li Li should be trembling when he possesses it again, but that he is walking on thin ice.

Xiao Yanjin was going to enter the palace, and before entering the palace, he ordered the housekeeper to wait for Li Li to wake up and deliver breakfast there.

The housekeeper couldn't figure out Xiao Yanjin's thoughts, and wondered how long the lord should play around to find her back this time?It's not that Xiao Yanjin didn't dote on Li Li before, but this kind of doting is like playing with a handy gadget. After two or three months of playing with it, the love will disappear.

The only difference is that Xiao Yanjin didn't think of any old feelings when she turned against someone, and gave things to people casually.

Humans have feelings and perceptions that can hurt, but things are dead.

Li Li had just woken up when the butler delivered the breakfast, Li Jiu wrung out a cloth towel and handed him to wipe his face.

The butler glanced over his wrist and put the breakfast on the table.He didn't know what to call him for a while, whether he should call him Li Li as before or change his name to Mr. Li.

"My lord ordered breakfast to be delivered."

Li Li yawned, with a very polite tone, without the slightest bit of arrogance like before: "Thank you butler."

"Hey." The butler responded, but didn't know what to say, he just said: "Then you can use it, I will step back first."

Li Li frowned, and smiled: "From now on in the mansion, I have to ask the butler to take care of it."

"Yes." Although he didn't like Li Li very much, he still had to pay back the favor when he was the butler.

Li Li thought about it all night, but no one else could ask, so she asked the butler: "Butler, may I ask you something?"

"what?"

"Where is Rong Sheng?" Maybe because he chewed on the name all night, he didn't have much emotion in it when he asked it, it was as plain as green tea and fresh water.

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, Li Li actually asked about this person: "Let's go, I left after a quarrel with the prince."

"Oh." Li Li was thoughtful: "Then why are they arguing?"

The butler didn't know what the quarrel between the prince and Mr. Rong was, but it was so loud that no one dared to go over. Mr. Rong left angrily, but the prince was depressed for a long time and didn't say anything.

The housekeeper was very disturbed, the prince liked Young Master Rong, Li Li had an attitude of wanting to kill Rong Sheng at the beginning, and troubled him every day, now when he asked Rong Sheng again, he did not let go of this person to some extent.

"I don't know either. We slaves can only ask about the prince's affairs."

Li Li nodded: "I understand."

I don't know what Li Li understands. The housekeeper thought about him coming back, and because of his temper, he didn't know how many troubles he should cause, so he persuaded him: "Li Li, you know the prince's temper better than anyone else, don't make him angry."

Li Li nodded: "Hey, I understand."

The housekeeper really didn't know if Li Li understood, after all, his temper was not easy to mess with.But what should be said has been said, what should be mentioned should be mentioned, and it is all satisfactory.

Li Jiu brought Li Li's breakfast in front of him: "Who is Rong Sheng?"

Li Li thought for a while: "Good man." A very good person, Li Li drank the porridge: "When you see him in the future, treat him well. Although he is a bit bored, he looks like others owe him all day. It looks like a few hundred taels of silver, and if you don’t care about others, you will hate it, but if you ask him for anything, he will be obliged to help.”

Li Jiu observes Li Li carefully, his family Li Li is the best at deceiving people.

Li Li knocked him on the head: "What are you looking at, I don't have any money on my face, and I won't lose any money if I look at it again."

He drank the porridge in two or three gulps: "Come out with me later."

"Um"

"Go and return the silver to someone else."

The place Li Li went was quite far away, and the more she went out of the city, the more remote she went.

Li Jiu's hand was being held, he saw that there were no people around, and couldn't help asking: "Li Li, how long do we have to go?"

"Soon." Li Li found the way: "It should be around here."

He just found the way from memory, and he didn't know if he made a mistake.

After walking for a while, we arrived at a small fishing village. The village is next to the river, and there are many fishing boats parked on the bank, drying their fishing nets.

Li Li still remembered the name of the fisherman who saved him, and when he asked someone, he took Li Jiu to the direction pointed by the other person.

The wall made of mud and rocks is not high, and it only reaches the neck. You can see the dilapidated small courtyard clearly when you look up.

Dried fish and fishing nets were drying in the yard, and some fruits and vegetables were planted on the side. Although it was dilapidated, it was cleaned up very cleanly.The door of the big house was open, and an old woman came out with a basin of clothes to dry.

Li Li stood and watched, Aunt Sun was nimble, and she finished drying the clothes in two or three strokes and entered the room with a wooden basin.

Li Li pointed to the stone next to him and said to Li Jiu, "Climb up and throw the silver in."

Li Jiu was stunned for a moment: "Lili, don't you pay it back in person?"

Li Li raised her hand and knocked on his forehead: "Speak less and do more."

Li Jiu weighed the heavy purse, which contained 50 taels of silver.A fisherman can't earn 50 taels in his life, so why does Li Li owe them so much money?

Li Jiu forcefully threw the silver towards the big house, and with a bang, the silver bag landed loudly.

Aunt Sun in the big house heard the commotion outside and thought it was a child coming in to steal the dried fish. When she came out, she looked around and saw no one around, turned around and stepped on the silver bag at the foot of the house.

She picked it up suspiciously, opened a lot of silver in the silver bag, and chased it out quickly.

Li Jiu heard Aunt Sun's name called Li Li in the back, and looked up at Li Li. Li Li was in a good mood and hummed: "The crescent moon bends and bends, and the willow treetops hang in the sky. It's bright again when it reaches fifteen circles." , listen to me singing a song, the little lady is charming and playing the pipa. In spring, I think about it day and night, Mr., every year is a dream, how can the thin powder warm the bed, the wind and the snow and the moon It's so sentimental, the prince and grandson of Yunlou are scattered as dust, scattered as dust."

He didn't remind Li Li, actually Li Li could hear him, he really wanted to see Aunt Sun would send the money in by herself, pay back the money or something, but Li Li lied to him again.

After leaving the fishing village and entering the city, Li Li said, "I want to eat water chestnut."

"Is there any sale in the capital?"

"Yes." Li Li remembered several shops selling water chestnuts: "Go back and peel it for me to eat."

Li Jiu nodded: "Hey."

There is a snack shop next to the school, which sells water chestnuts.

Li Li weighed two catties and bought other snacks. When he turned his head, he saw Li Jiu leaning against the fence of the school and looking inside. The sound of reading aloud could be heard from inside.

Li Li threw snacks into Li Jiu's arms: "Carry it for me."

Li Jiu followed him step by step with snacks in his arms. Li Li bought him his favorite snacks. In the past, Li Jiu would sneak a little after he followed him, but this time his mind wandered to the school.

At his age, Li Jiuchang can only read a few words and understand numbers.If he had no choice, he would also like to go to school.

Li Li yelled, "Hurry up."

Li Jiu trotted to follow.

It was still early when they came out, and there were not many people on the street. When they came back, many people came out to go to the market, and it was prosperous.Li Jiu's eyes were dazzled by the carved BMW cars on Siqu Eighth Street. It was more prosperous than Rongcheng, and there were many gadgets he had never seen before.

Li Jiu looked at the lifelike clay figurine, he liked it in his heart but he didn't talk to Li Li.

The peddler who made the clay figurines smiled and said, "Little baby, would you like to buy one?"

Li Jiu looked at Li Li, was about to shake his head, and suddenly a voice came from behind him: "Boss, pinch some he likes."

Li Jiu turned his head, and it was Fang Cheng, his eyes immediately brightened.He liked Fang Cheng very much, Fang Cheng accompanied him all the way to the capital, bought him a lot of things, some of which he secretly hid from Li Li.

Fang Cheng turned his head and said to Li Li who was surprised: "Master is in Qingfang Building, let my subordinates invite Mr. Li to go up."

Li Li was extremely unwilling in her heart, but she also knew that Xiao Yanjin didn't like others to disobey him, and would only suffer if she disobeyed: "Li Jiu's clay figurine"

"You can just wait here." Fang Cheng politely asked another attendant to take Li Li to Qingfang Tower.

Li Li followed, with a bit of meaninglessness.

Qingfang Tower is a place where many high-ranking officials and dignitaries gather, and it is also a place where literati and elegant guests scoff at it.Li Li has been here several times in the past, and one of the people behind the chaotic and dirty Vanity Fair made of bright gold carvings and jade is Xiao Yanjin.

There is another door in Qingfang Tower leading to another luxurious place, but the attendant only led Li Li to the private room on the second floor.

Pushing open the door, there were quite a few people in the spacious private room, some in twos and threes, some he knew, some he had never seen before.There are piano girls playing the piano, and there are dancers dancing.

Xiao Yanjin was extremely conspicuous in the crowd, and when she saw Li Li with tired eyes, she became more energetic.

Li Li didn't understand why Xiao Yanjin asked him to come here, but he had seen more of these affairs than Xiao Yanjin, so he didn't panic at all.

Li Li walked in, holding in his hand the snacks that Li Jiu handed him when he was looking at the clay figurines. Compared with the delicacies here, they are too inconspicuous and ordinary.

Xiao Yanjin asked, "What are you buying?"

Li Li handed it over, with a flattering smile: "Buying Li Jiu's favorite snacks."

"What to eat?" A young man in brocade clothes came over, first Xiao Yanjin snatched it and opened the outer wrapping paper, and said, "Spiced broad beans, crabapple fruit, hemp yam, candied fruit, water chestnut."

He grabbed a handful of crabapple fruit, candied fruit and water chestnut and shared them with others, which made Li Li feel pain.

Xiao Yanjin raised her eyes coldly: "Who made you eat it?"
