The wind

Li Longsha wrinkled her milky white face, pursed her mouth, and grabbed Xiao Zhouheng's cuff with one hand: "Mr. Jueyan, Longsha's cat is lost. Mr. Jueyan, help Longsha find it." Look for it." A few maidservants trotted over from a distance, and the first one wanted to take Long Sha back: "Miss Twenty, I'll find this maidservant for you, don't bother Mr. Jueyan."

"No." Long Sha avoided the maidservant, "Mr. Jueyan must be found by Long Sha."

"Here." The leading servant girl showed embarrassment, and looked at Li Longsha embarrassingly, "Miss, you have just recovered from the cold, so you should not stay outside for too long, go back with the servant girl."

Long Sha didn't want to, so she burst into tears.

"Stop crying, Miss, Xiaosheng is now looking for a cat with Miss." This Miss Longsha's voice was as loud as that of the second child in Jiuchun Tower. Xiao Zhouheng felt a shock and pain in his temple when he heard the crying, he raised his eyes and asked The maid asked, "Why did Miss lose her cat?"

The servant girl sighed: "A few days ago, the young lady suffered from the wind and cold, so the cat was raised by another servant girl in the servant's room. Today, the young lady is in better health, so she wanted to see the cat, but when the cat came in, she didn't know what to do. What a surprise, I scratched several servants and ran out of the window. The servants hurried out to look for them, and they searched for two hours, but they still couldn't find them."

The lion cat raised by Li Longsha is snow-white with a pair of mandarin duck eyes and a docile personality.

The servant girl showed a twisted smile: "It was given by the master when the young lady celebrates her birthday, and the young lady cherishes it very much."

Xiao Zhouheng knew how important the cat was to Li Longsha without his father's company, but he was anxious to meet Li Yunyi, so he had to deal with the matter first, coaxed Longsha a few words, and left.

Arriving at the study where Li Yunyi was, after a maidservant informed, there was a reply from the door, and Xiao Zhouheng pushed the door open and went in.

I saw Jialan standing behind Li Yunyi, her Qianqianyu hands gently rubbing the acupuncture points on her head.Jialan, who was born graceful, and Li Yunyi, who closed her eyes and thought at the moment, contributed to a painting.

The characters in the painting look like immortals, but it's a pity that Xiao Zhouheng didn't care to look at them.It has long been heard that Li Yunyi, the sixth young master of the Li family, is a generation of Yao Hua Qishu, who is merciful in every way, but treats women no matter how poor or poor, and is as gentle as water; The twelfth young master Li Yunmo was tricked by him and died early, and the thirteenth young master Li Yunguang who could have stayed in Jinling as an errand was also pushed out by him to Wuling, a relatively remote Dingzhou...

After Xiao Zhouheng entered Li's mansion and made friends with him, he felt that he was indeed a beautiful man, and he didn't feel that he was as unbearable as the rumors or anything.

But now, Xiao Zhouheng felt that he might be wrong.

When Li Yunyi heard the sound and saw the person coming, his peach blossom eyes were half closed, and a beautiful smile appeared on his lips: "Sit down, and let Mr. Jueyan have tea."

"Go ahead, I'll talk to Mr. Jue Yan for a while." Li Yunyi turned his head to Jia Lan and said, and then lightly pecked the jade hand that caught her, Jia Lan's cheeks flushed brightly, and he left in a hurry All blessings, and trotted away.

"Thank you sixth young master." Xiao Zhouheng took a panoramic view of the sixth young master Li Yunyi's small movements just now, felt a little embarrassed, took a sip of the tea cup brought by the maidservant, and felt that the tea was very bitter, but still Reluctantly swallowed it down.

"Mr. Juyan likes this tea."

Before Xiao Zhouheng could respond, Li Yunyi continued: "This is similar to my eighth brother, he also thinks this tea is good today." He lowered his eyes: "This is brought back from Changzhou, if Jueyan Mister likes it very much, next time I can bring some for Mister Jueyan."

"How dare you be troublesome." Xiao Zhouheng didn't know what kind of medicine Li Yunyi was selling, so he could only wave his hands.

"Small things." Li Yunyi poured half a cup of tea, held it to his lips, lowered his eyes and smiled faintly, "Mr. Jue Yan is still used to living in the mansion."

"Young master Lao is concerned, everything is fine."

"It's so good." Li Yunyi put down the teacup, looked away from the table, landed on Xiao Zhouheng, and waved his servant out, "It's not for any other reason to invite Mr. Jueyan to sit down today, just to ask Ask if you have thought about that matter with Mr. Jue Yan before?"

Xiao Zhouheng didn't expect Li Yunyi to mention such a thing, and his whole body froze for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Li Yunyi smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Mr. Jueyan, don't be cautious, just say what you want."

"Xiaosheng is absolutely not worthy of Miss Yue." Xiao Zhouheng was even more startled, and after pondering for a moment, he reluctantly said, "To marry Xiaosheng is to be frivolous and wronged Miss."

Seeing that Li Yunyi held up the teacup again without saying a word, Xiao Zhouheng said again, "Even if Xiaosheng is willing, Miss Zhuoyue absolutely cannot agree."

Hearing what Xiao Zhouheng said, Li Yunyi put the teacup in his hand on the desk, his hand was a little strong, making some noises, which made Xiao Zhouheng's heart skip a beat.

"How do you know she doesn't want to."

As soon as the words fell, Li Yunyi felt that something was wrong. Li Yunyi said again: "Forget it, it seems that I messed up the mandarin ducks. I heard some rumors in the market and believed them to be true. I was reckless."

"Don't dare."

Li Yunyi then asked several children about their recent studies.After a few words, the two of them had nothing to say.

Xiao Zhouheng has been sitting on pins and needles since hearing the rumors, and finally finished answering Li Yunyi's words, that is, he didn't hear the order to evict the guest for a long time, and he didn't see the person mentioning Yuying's death yesterday.After another long silence, Xiao Zhouheng dared to say, "Xiaosheng has other things to do, can we go first, and we will meet Sixth Young Master some other day..."

Li Yunyi raised his eyes from the desk, glanced at Xiao Zhouheng, and nodded slightly, agreeing.

The heavy wooden door was closed, and Li Yunyi closed his eyes again. After a while, he raised his hand and closed the desk, "How about the capital? When will Seventeenth Brother return home?"

After leaving the main study room, Xiao Zhouheng realized that his hands were still trembling.

For some reason, since dozens of years ago, Li Yunyi has intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the matter of Miss Sixteen Li Zhuoyue's upcoming marriage.At the beginning, it was just mentioned, but later she said that she would like to marry Li Zhuoyue to Xiao Zhouheng.

This made Xiao Zhouheng extremely panic, not knowing why Li Yunyi mentioned marriage.

Li Zhuyue is the daughter of the arrogance in the boudoir, no matter how many people I would like to marry with, I can't get high, how could it be my turn, after all, I am just a poor literati with an inch of land and a house.

Today's refusal was in line with my own heart, but it also refuted Li Yunyi and even Li Zhuyue's face.Thinking of Li Yunyi's words and deeds last night yesterday, he suddenly felt that this was most likely Li Yunyi's trick, to scare himself, if he didn't respond to him today, he would send himself to the government.But after thinking about it, it's really not wrong to go around a lot just to let him marry Li Zhuoyue.

Xiao Zhouheng felt a little remorse in his heart, since the so-called Zhuoruo Princess incident happened in the capital, his original intention of returning to Jinling was to find a job, save enough money, and abide by the ten-year agreement with Yin Jiuchu About, from now on far away.

But I didn't know that I just returned to Jinling, and before I even settled down, I learned that the person was going to get married, and the woman was also the daughter of a wealthy businessman, who was in the same family as the Jinling Yin family who opened calligraphy and painting. On the day when Yin Jiuchu got married, he sent a congratulatory gift, but it was a pity that the congratulatory gift was expensive, and the shy Xiao Zhouheng put down his dignity and went to Li's residence as a teacher, and compiled a local chronicle called Jinlinglu by the way. In exchange for a meager reward.

That's why Yin Jiuchu asked Yin Jiuchu to help him find books. Firstly, it was really necessary to look up the information, so he took this opportunity to hope to get closer to Yin Jiuchu again.

Xiao Zhouheng didn't want others, especially the master of Li's family, to know that he was still employed by the Book Bureau. Firstly, it might be because of the arrogance of a scholar in his bones, and he was afraid of attracting gossip; secondly, in recent years The subtle change in the Bureau of Authors was out of the intention of avoiding suspicion; this is why I stayed empty and did this in secret.

Obviously next month when the manuscript is handed over, and the Li Mansion distributes the monthly money again, the money for the congratulatory gifts will be basically saved up. Unfortunately, now Xiao Zhouheng has to face the crisis of leaving the Li Manor early—if Li Yunyi hadn’t made the decision, then It was because Yin Jiuchu found one less book for himself a few days ago, and he didn't want to bother him anymore, and he wanted to try his luck when he heard that Wenshan Building in Li's Mansion was also the place where books were collected. .

Unexpectedly, he didn't find the book, and he became a murderer for no reason.

While thinking about it, Xiao Zhouheng raised his eyes, only to realize that he walked along the garden corridor into a garden in the inner mansion without knowing it, and was hidden by fake stones, and no one saw him.Xiao Zhouheng was about to go back, but heard noises.

Mrs. Zeng at the other side of the false stone had a headache today because of the burnt smoke in the room, and she was angry with hatred in her heart. When she came out of the yard, she saw the fourth wife, Mrs. Liu, who was laughing. Her laughter attracted Mrs. Zeng even more. Distraught, Mrs. Zeng opened her lips and said, "I heard Sister Liu's laughter from a long distance away, what good news did you get so happy today, would you like to tell my sister?"

After hearing Madam Zeng's words, Mrs. Liu immediately stopped laughing, reluctantly moved to Madam Zeng's face slowly, and reluctantly saluted, "Sister, you're being polite."

Seeing Mrs. Liu's appearance, Mrs. Zeng was even more angry. She felt that she didn't take herself seriously: "My sister has been away from her mother's house for ten and a half months this time, so she is not afraid of losing face if it spreads."

"Don't worry about my sister." Mrs. Liu, the fourth housekeeper, is not a vegetarian either, "My sister still has to worry about her own affairs, so why bother my sister."

Mrs. Zeng snorted coldly, turned around and left, but when she turned around, something seemed to have fallen out of her long gown.

Lingjuan, the maid beside Mrs. Liu, was impatient, and immediately picked up the thing, took a look in her hand, and handed it to Mrs. Liu who was beside her with a strange cry.

Madam Liu flipped her bare hands, covered her mouth with the maidservants beside her and laughed, Madam Liu is a high-ranking military official, her nature is naturally a little bolder than Madam Zeng, who was raised in her boudoir since she was a child, and the corner of her eyes twitched: "Sister But can't be idle? Watch this to relieve boredom."

Mrs. Zeng frowned, and took a sneak peek, she couldn't help but blushed, and saw that Mrs. Liu was holding a thin booklet, on which there were pictures of erotic men and women lying on their backs or lying down, and there was no hair anywhere.

"Create something out of nothing!" Mrs. Zeng snatched it away and spat calmly, "Damn it!"

"My sister thinks that she is still a little girl in her early twenties, and she just waits for the master to return to the mansion to give birth to a few more. Maybe the master will straighten up my sister when he is happy."

This also just hit Madam Zeng's sore spot, and she couldn't help but said: "My sister was joking, I don't know why the concubine cleaned up the mess yesterday."

Hearing the quarreling of the two wives, Xiao Zhouheng naturally wondered what the familiar booklet was, and when he took a closer look, he was so startled that he almost fainted. The Fengyue book borrowed here?

But how could this love affair be on Mrs. Zeng?

Xiao Zhouheng was afraid that others would see him, so he hurriedly left there. Seeing this, Xiao Zhouheng's mind became more chaotic, and he avoided several fake stones and low trees, and suddenly heard a few little maids whispering, Xiao Zhou Heng raised his eyes, and saw a bloody varnished object hanging from a tree not far away, with four legs limply hanging down.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like the cat of Miss Twenty, Li Longsha.

The cat seemed to have died not long ago, and there were flying insects attracted by the stench all around.

What's going on here?If Li Longsha saw such a scene, wouldn't she want to cry again?Xiao Zhouheng didn't care about his stomach churning, hurried to the room, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked Bie Hong: "Is there a cat seller in Jinling City?"

Bie Hong stopped what she was doing, and turned her head to stare at the flustered Xiao Zhouheng, with a hint of surprise in her black and white eyes: "Mr. Jueyan wants to buy a cat?"

Xiao Zhouheng was vague, but asked Bie Hong to continue.

"What kind of appearance does Mr. Absolutely Yan want?"

Xiao Zhouheng hesitated for a while, but still revealed the characteristics of the cat: "Long hair and white mandarin duck eyes."

Don't lower your eyes and think for a while, then read Xiao Zhouheng's words again, and shouted again: "Could it be that lion cat like Miss Twenty!"

"Ancestor! Please keep your voice down." Xiao Zhouheng was startled and waved his hands repeatedly.

This ignited the door of Bie Hong's endless chatter, rambling a bunch of useless things, and didn't mention that there were cats for sale for a long time.

"However, Miss Twenty's cat was brought by the master from Jiang's residence last year. It's hard to find such a good-looking cat elsewhere. I don't know if Jiang's residence still has cats now, even if Mr. Jueyan is raised. go……"

Seeing Bie Hong's saliva flying everywhere, Xiao Zhouheng not only couldn't listen to a word, but also became a little irritable, and suddenly remembered that this was the only way for Li Longsha to leave the room, if she didn't quickly unload the corpse Come down, if the servant girl in her room saw it and said it, it would be really over.

So he got up quickly, left behind the chattering Bie Hong, and went out again.

The author has something to say: Xiao Zhouheng asked Yin Jiuchu to help him find books mentioned in Chapter 6.

The fourth wife, Mrs. Liu, returned to her natal family in Jiangbei and mentioned it in the mouth of the fifteenth young master Li Yunwei in Chapter 4.

The Fengyue book that Xiao Zhouheng lent to the eighteenth young master Li Yunwu is mentioned in Chapter 5.

Newly mentioned young masters: Tenth Young Master Li Yunhong & Twelfth Young Master Li Yunmo.
