Let's talk about today

By the time Li Jinzhao finally read through the thick volumes of ledgers, it was nearly dusk again.There are five errors in the account, and the other four are all good, which is not a big amount.Only the Qinyun yarn purchased years ago is not too small a sum.

Zhao Nong...Zhao Nong.

Zhao Nong has not been here for two days.

He paced back and forth, slapped the palm of his hand with the handle of the fan, repeated many times, and suddenly said to Liu Gu in a hurry: "Liu Gu, talk to the other guys. The door can be closed in a while, earlier Go back." Before Liu Gu agreed, his voice faded away, and he disappeared into the hurried shadows.

Zhao Nong has stayed in Jinxiu Pavilion longer than Liu Gu. He has personally checked the accounts over the years.Zhao Nong has always been prudent in his work, but this time he made such a mistake.

Li Jinchao sighed and came to the door of Zhao Nong's house.He knocked on the door, and after a while it was Zhao Nong who opened it.The moment he saw him, Zhao Nong's face turned pale, but he didn't have the courage to close the door.

"Zhao Nong." Li Jinchao called him.

Zhao Nong's lips trembled, "Master, I..."

Li Jinzhao blinked, "Do you know why I'm here?"

Zhao Nong knelt down in front of him, "Master, please let me go. My mother was seriously ill a year ago, and I couldn't find such a large amount of money for a while, so I thought of cheating on the account. I, I really can't help it!"

Li Jinzhao was startled: "Then why didn't you come to Jinxiu Pavilion these two days?"

Zhao Nong raised his head, blushing all over his face, "I'm afraid that you will transfer me to the government, my lord. There...it's not a place for people to stay! My lord, I have old and young, and I'm a bitch. Consumption, I really can't..."

He made a move and said softly, "Get up first. I won't hand you over to the government." Only then did Zhao Nong get up slowly.With his gentle and jade-like face unchanged, he took off the money bag and handed all the money to Zhao Nong without any money left, "Go see a doctor for your mother and wife."

"Son..."

Li Jinzhao sighed softly, then turned around without leaving a trace, "You won't come to Jinxiu Pavilion from now on..."

At dusk, there is a dead tree beside the desolate courtyard, and the crow on the dead tree makes a desolate cry.Zhao Nong still kept the action of picking up the money, his hands trembling, and his dejected expression remained unchanged.And Young Master Jin Yi went away against the setting sun, so harmonious.

Li Jinzhao didn't go anywhere else, and went home alone.The boy in green who opened the door had a heavy expression on his face. Li Jinzhao thought something important happened at home, so he couldn't help asking, "What happened?"

The young man in Tsing Yi shook his head like a rattle, hesitatingly said: "My lord, the young master is here..."

Li Jinzhao's movements paused, and then he showed a reassuring smile to the boy: "Young Master is a good talker, don't be nervous."

The young man in Tsing Yi faltered and said: "But... but the young master has been waiting at our house for a day..."

Only then did Li Jinchao feel that the scenery in front of him was dark.

"Why didn't anyone tell me?"

The young man in Tsing Yi hesitated to speak, but finally couldn't help defending himself, "Look, I'm so excited to see the young master...forgot..."

Li Jinzhao felt that the road ahead was dark. Even though the young master treated him well and gave him a expensive folding fan, it didn't mean that his relationship with the young master could be so good that he wouldn't be angry for a day.He is not like Jiang Leqi, who can say anything, even if Li Jinchao's skills are good, he can't see many contents of his expression clearly.

"Forget it, have you prepared meals for the young master?"

He couldn't hear the rumble in his ears, so he just walked towards the hall in a daze.In the daze, there came a clear voice, with three points of uncertainty.

"now?"

Li Jinzhao came back to his senses, raised his eyes and looked ahead, and saw Xia Houyuan leaning against a pear tree in elegant white clothes, tall and tall, elegant and elegant.The willow shoots were on the moon, the stars were bright, Li Jinzhao walked over quickly, and said in a low voice, "Do it."

Xia Houyuan smiled happily, "I think the pear blossoms are blooming well."

Compared to Xia Houyuan's relaxed and joyful expression, Li Jinzhao looked ashamed, "Yes, I have been waiting for a long time."

Xia Houyuan smiled nonchalantly, "It's the same when I see you now. In fact, I took the liberty to bother you."

Li Jinzhao looked at the sky, then at Xia Houyuan's clothes, which seemed a little thin, "Go inside, the night is cool."

A little maid served tea, and Li Jinzhao handed it to Xia Houyuan himself. When he accidentally touched his finger, he felt a chill, and a burst of guilt surged in his heart.

"I actually want to ask a question today." Xia Houyuan flicked the tea foam away, watching Li Jinchao's expression from the corner of his eyes, but he couldn't see the man drinking tea with his head down.

Li Jinchao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this young master waited for him and only asked one question a day, it seemed that this question was unusual.He was thinking about what questions the little marquis would probably ask and how he should answer, although he looked very calm, but in fact he was a little anxious.

Xia Houyuan glanced at him expressionlessly, "Why are you nervous today?"

"Uh..." Li Jinchao raised his head and smiled at him, "I'm not nervous."

A smile floated on Xia Houyuan's face, "The tea is so hot, you hold it so tightly, it's not nervousness..."

"..." Li Jinzhao felt that his palms were scorching hot. He put down the tea quickly, his palms were already red from the heat.

The young master's observation skills are so...

Xia Houyuan put down his teacup, stared at him with bright black eyes, and his thin lips were light pink, "Today, do you still remember... have you seen me?"

Li Jinzhao was startled and shook his head, "I have no impression."

Those bright black eyes seemed to dim again.

Li Jinzhao thought about it and replied: "I had a serious illness when I was young, and I can't remember some things when I was young."

Xia Houyuan stood up, "Then I'm bothering you so much today, come back another day."

"Do it..."

Xia Houyuan turned around, "Are you busy today?"

Li Jinzhao sighed, "I'm going to Wuzhou in two days." After speaking, he added by accident, "Would you like to come?"

After he finished speaking, he bit his tongue with regret, and he was relieved when he saw Xia Houyuan's expressionless expression, and quickly added, "If I'm joking, when you come back from Wuzhou, let's have another banquet."

Xia Houyuan showed an extremely bright smile, "See you at Qingming Bridge in two days."
