Master fake high cold

Mu Lan walked in nervously, and when she saw someone at the door, she subconsciously stepped back and hid behind a tree.

"Miss, just listen to the old slave's advice and get married according to the master's arrangement."

An elderly man's voice came over in a calm manner.

Mu Lan frowned, urging marriage?Mrs. Li seems to be five years older than her, maybe 25 this year.

She was hesitating whether to continue listening to the corner, when she heard a cold and pleasant voice: "Please tell the housekeeper to tell father, I have my own plans, so I won't bother the family."

"Hey, it's always procrastinating like this. You can ask the old slave what to say." The housekeeper sighed for a long time, as if he was used to returning without success, he hurried away with his head down.

Mu Lan was startled, and silently went around the tree to hide, fortunately she was not found, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

"who?"

A questioning voice sounded behind him, causing Mu Lan to turn her head in fright.

He saw Li Jubai standing outside the door.

The eyebrows are lightly drawn, the eyes are like autumn water, the corners of the lips are slightly pursed, even if the face is displeased, Mu Lan is a little surprised.

Even though she had a slight impression in the original owner's memory, and even though she was used to seeing ladies and gentlemen in the capital, she was inevitably absent-minded for a moment.

how to say?

This female wife is different from others, it seems that the word Qingao is engraved in her bones, she is obviously a beauty, but because of this arrogance, she seems a little inaccessible, she is the kind of beauty that can only be seen from a distance.

"I didn't eavesdrop on purpose, I...I came to you...to borrow money from my master."

Mu Lan panicked, and opened her mouth to explain herself completely.

"Come in." Li Jubai's eyebrows stretched out, his face was still cold, but he didn't intend to care about it.

She had a bad reputation in the first place, and she had a slight impression of this student. It seemed that she was from a poor family, but she was not very motivated.

The courtyard in winter is a bit bleak, especially in the north, Mu Lan looked up at the bare branches, just like her mood at the moment, sad, no, desolate, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

She cheered herself up from the bottom of her heart, don't be afraid, you are the majestic lady of Shangshufu, you have even met the princess, are you still afraid of the teacher in this small county school?

However, it didn't seem to have any effect, and I still couldn't control my guilty conscience.

It must be because the original owner did something bad, although she just kissed him twice in a daze.

The two sat down facing each other. Li Jubai was holding a booklet and a pen in his hand, and handed it over when he reached the blank space. His tone was rare and gentle: "You write the IOU yourself, just list the name and the number."

Mu Lan made up her mind and stopped being hypocritical. She took the pen and obediently wrote the IOU. When the amount was written, she paused and looked at the woman in front of her.

Mrs. Li seems to be very rich, so can she borrow some more, and then go back to the capital with the money, and then send someone to return it after returning to the mansion.

But I changed my body, what if my parents don't recognize me?

And that doggy fiance, maybe he is still staring at the Shangshu Mansion?

Her fingers trembled, and then she asked cautiously: "Master Li, can I borrow 100 taels? It's possible that I can't pay you back in a short time?"

Li Jubai's eyes flickered. Usually, the children from poor families would borrow dozens of taels at most, but this student only opened his mouth for 100 taels. Although she didn't want to speculate on others with malice, she always felt that this person might have borrowed and not repay.

She doesn't feel sorry for her own money, but she is just worried that pampering students like this will easily encourage them to get something for nothing, and do things according to their ability, such a sum of money, the person in front of her may not be able to return it.

So, for the first time, she opened her mouth to ask what the silver was for: "What are you going to do with the 100 taels? If it's really justifiable, then you can."

Gentlemen love talents and get them in a proper way.

As a teacher who preaches and teaches, Li Jubai hopes that students can give themselves a reasonable reason.

Mu Lan clenched her pen tightly, thinking of what to do with it, she naturally went back to the capital to recognize her parents and avenge herself.

But can this kind of words be said?I'm afraid that as soon as I say it, I will be sprinkled with talisman water and arrested as a ghost.

She immediately let go of her anger: "I made a mistake. I didn't borrow 100 taels, but ten Wen. This time, Xiu Mu will return it to Master when he comes back."

100 taels into ten renminbi, this gap is not unusually large, but Li Jubai didn't say anything, she is not curious about other people's affairs, everyone has their own secrets, it is impolite to ask rashly.

Mu Lan honestly wrote ten cents, then handed back the pen and booklet.

Her mind relaxed a little, she involuntarily sniffed her nose, there was a nice cold fragrance in the room, mixed with a faint fragrance of ink, and the smell of saponins used in washing clothes.

Mu Lan froze for a moment, she didn't notice it before, it seemed that her sense of smell had become much more sensitive.

Li Jubai glanced briefly, closed the booklet, counted out ten pennies from the money bag at his waist, piled them into a pile, put them in his palm, and then stretched out his hand.

Mu Lan stretched out her hand in a daze, and picked up the ten-cent coin from Li Jubai's hand, touching her palm with her fingertips, even though it was short, she still felt the warmth that belonged to the other party.

Li Jubai looked at the person who was sitting at the table in a daze for some reason, and it was almost time for the lecture, so she couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything else?"

Mu Lan raised her eyes to stare at Li Jubai, and said in a strange way: "Master, do you need my help?"

"You help me?" Li Jubai's face was calm, and suspicion flashed in his eyes. Could it be that this student is talking nonsense, and he just borrowed money, so he can't figure out who is helping whom?

"Yes, I want to help you." Mu Lan nodded firmly, and the idea that popped up in her heart became better and better.

"What do you want to help me?" Li Jubai asked directly, but in fact he really didn't understand, what did the student in front of him suddenly want to help her with?

Mu Lan didn't go around around the corner, and expressed her thoughts: "I can marry you, and I can marry you, so my wife doesn't have to be urged to marry by the family. When do you meet someone you like, or don't need me to help you?" Yes, you can reconcile at any time, I only need 100 taels of silver as a reward, what do you think?"

She is simply too smart, in this way, she can help her master solve her urgent needs, and at the same time earn enough money to go back to the capital. Even if there is any accident after returning to Beijing, she doesn't have to worry about not being able to make it, killing two birds with one stone.

Li Jubai's complexion changed slightly, and he said with a half-smile: "Not at all, firstly, I don't want to use marriage as a joke to deceive the elders in my family, and secondly, we don't know each other well, do you understand what I mean?"

The implication is, who knows what you're planning, what to do if you lure a wolf into the house, although she is worried that the older she is, the more pressing the family will be, but she will not act blindly and marry an irrelevant person.

"Isn't that good? In fact, we can slowly understand that I really don't have any malicious intentions." It's just a lack of money, Mu Lan forced a smile, come on, such a brilliant idea, it's useless to think about it, it seems that the road back to Beijing There is a long way to go.

Seeing her melancholy expression, Li Jubai hesitated inexplicably for a while, thinking of the housekeeper, nanny and others who routinely come to be lobbyists every day, as well as his reputation after being annulled by the Shao family.

An unknown woman who will take away her husband's family's luck, even if her family is well-off, doesn't have many good choices.

Those who are willing to ask for marriage or marry into a family have so far not been worth entrusting.

In Baiyue, a woman who is still unmarried at the age of 25 is already very provocative, and with such an unknown reputation, if she drags on, she may be married to a widower.
