The ancient life of a master craftsman

Time flies to July, Li Enbai and the others have moved to a new house for some time, and Liu Mingxi's letter is long overdue.

Li Enbai opened a short one-page letter with few words and no envelope. It congratulated him for being the first in the government examination, but it has been two months since his first place in the government examination. Something else is right.

He frowned, "Sir, did Chang Le encounter any trouble?"

Liu Chuncheng just came back yesterday, looking thinner than before he went to the capital, his face was tired, accompanied by light cough from time to time.

"Chang Le... is fine now." Liu Chuncheng coughed, "Don't worry about Linfeng, Chang Le is not an incompetent person."

Li Enbai saw that his brows were frowning, and knew that he was also worried, but he couldn't tell the specific situation. It seemed that Chang Le's current troubles were rather special, and it was not suitable for him to know, so he stopped asking about Liu Mingxi.

"Mr. fell ill on the way, but have you seen a doctor?"

Liu Chuncheng coughed a few times uncontrollably, "It's okay, it's an old problem."

"We still have to listen to what the doctor says, sir, and take care of your health." Li Enbai advised.

Liu Chuncheng had no choice but to say, "I've seen it, just take it easy."

"Mister, don't be tired these days, so you can give birth." Li Enbai seemed to think that it was useless to say him, "Housekeeper! Butler!"

The butler pushed the door open with a smile and came in, "Master Li, this old slave is here."

"Housekeeper, please take care of Mr. Dian recently, eat, take medicine, and sleep on time, don't get tired, keep a good mood, and the most important thing is to ask the doctor to see you on time." Li Enbai read one by one.

The old butler smiled even more heartily, "Hey, the old slave has made a note."

"If you don't do it, you can ask the boy to tell me. I will write a few books to persuade you and bring them to your house to read. If you don't take good care of your body, I will read it for a day. The annoying husband will send me to the house." Get out the door." Li Enbai said something that seemed threatening with a serious expression.

The old housekeeper was happy to see the result, and immediately replied, "I remember, if the second master refuses to rest, I must immediately ask the young man to report to your house."

"Uncle Quan." Liu Chuncheng yelled in disapproval, obviously feeling ashamed in front of the juniors.

"Sir, you are resting and recuperating. Naturally, the housekeeper won't let anyone come to me. Otherwise, I will invite you to stay at my house for a few days. Maybe I can change the environment, feel better, and get better soon." Li Enbai invited, I missed the Wenju Banquet before, so it would be nice to stay for a while.

"Not for the time being. I'll take care of the affairs of the house first, and I'll visit your place after a while." Liu Chuncheng took a sip of water to moisten his throat, which was uncomfortable due to coughing.

"Sir, be careful not to get tired." Li Enbai knew that no amount of persuasion would work, so he could only look at the situation of the husband.

He left with worries about Liu's uncle and nephew, and burned the few words of the letter at Liu Chuncheng's request before leaving.

After he left, the old butler brought the boiled medicine into the study. The old butler had a kind face and looked at Liu Chuncheng as gently as he looked at his own child.

"Second Master, Young Master Li is a good person, and he is very filial to you." The old butler waited for Liu Chuncheng to drink the medicine, and told him what Li Enbai had just said to him outside the study.

"He asked the old slave to find two ewes, saying that goat milk is the most nourishing for the body, and he was afraid that you would not like the smell of goat milk, so he also gave the old slave two prescriptions to get rid of the smell." The old housekeeper tidied up The medicine bowl seems to just say how filial Li Enbai is.

"Uncle Quan, Linfeng is not my disciple, so the word filial piety cannot be used." Liu Chuncheng emphasized.

The old butler replied with a smile, "Old slave knows, this old slave just sees that young master and young master Li are like brothers, so he uses filial piety to describe young master Li's concern for you."

Liu Chuncheng pressed his forehead, his spirit was a little sluggish, "Why does Uncle Quan have to make such a big circle? I'll just drink the goat's milk."

"Hey, this old slave is going to prepare it now. From now on, I will bring it to you every night before going to bed."

The old butler happily went out with the medicine bowl in his hand. Seeing his happy appearance, Liu Chuncheng had no choice but to let him go. He opened the hidden compartment under the desk, and there were several letters painted with wax inside. He was a little stunned by the familiar handwriting of the four words "Immortal Parents Enlightenment".

How long has it been since you saw this handwriting?

a year?two years?He couldn't remember it himself.

It used to be that the day and night were not enough, but now this piece of letter feels sour, sweet and bitter in my heart, and the past is more and more clear.

It turns out that I never let go, and I never want to let go.

He tried several times, but he still didn't dare to open the envelope to see what was written inside, so he could only close the hidden compartment dejectedly and exhale deeply.

Looking up at the beams of the house, his eyes were straightened, as if he had gone through all the scenes of the year, cutting the knife in his heart again and again, the more painful the more clearly he saw.

Liu Chuncheng, Liu Yixian, are really shameless people through and through!

Li Enbai was driving a carriage, and when he was about to get home, he just saw a man dressed as a matchmaker leaving from the door of his house. He seemed to have spotted his carriage and was walking towards him.

"Master Li..." Matchmaker Zhang waved her festive red cloth scarf, and called Li Enbai in a too high voice.

Li Enbai drove the carriage past without looking sideways, ignored her, and parked the carriage at the door, "Shuangzhong, come and move things."

Zhang Jiuxian heard his voice, came over and opened the door, "Master, the little master is waiting for you in the east room."

"Wait for me?" Li Enbai looked at the sky. Today is a little earlier than before. If you don't come back late, then something has happened. Go to the backyard."

"Got it." Zhang Jiu pushed open the door and let him in first.

Li Enbai entered the door and went directly to Yunli. Naturally, he didn't see Zhang Jiu behind him with a sullen face, glaring at the matchmaker who came back, and when Li Enbai entered the east room, he immediately closed the door halfway, "Matchmaker Zhang, my master doesn't see any guests, please come back!"

Shuangzhong didn't move anything when he came out, he drove the carriage directly to the backyard, he would rather spend more effort to move from the backyard to the front yard than give the matchmaker a chance.

Matchmaker Zhang acted as if she didn't know that she was unpopular, and tried to persuade her with the appearance of someone who had experienced it, "Hey, brother, you should go and call Master Li again. I, Zhang Xique, came to announce the good news to Master Li. It's not a big deal for you to stop, Master Li will definitely punish you if he finds out."

Zhang Jiu frowned tightly. The matchmaker Zhang spoke in a high-pitched and strange tone, which made people feel uncomfortable, "No need, the host doesn't see any guests. Please come back, matchmaker Zhang."

"Hey, why are you so sluggish, little husband? You can count what Mr. Li's husband said? Of course you can't. Mr. Li is the master. Go and call Mr. Li, otherwise you Let me go in and I'll talk to Master Li myself." Matchmaker Zhang wiped the sweat from her forehead with a red cloth towel, annoyed at Zhang Jiu's indiscretion.

Zhang Jiu still refused. Seeing that Shuangzhong had already driven the carriage to the back door, he withdrew to the courtyard gate, "Sorry, the Li family's inner house is up to the young master, please walk slowly." Then he closed the door directly

Matchmaker Zhang stomped her feet angrily, "Bah! A little brother, you still want to occupy Mr. Li by yourself? You really don't know your head! When Mr. Li passes the exam for a scholar, let's see if you are still a little brother." Cut!" Cursing non-stop, but she thought she was whispering, but it was a loud voice.

Zhang Jiu, who opened the door inside and heard clearly, was furious, but he didn't know how to get out of it. It was Li Enbai who learned what happened, and an order to open the door solved his entanglement.

"Zhang Jiu, go to the kitchen and bring a basin of dirty water and pour it on me!" Li Enbai's voice was cold.

"Hey!" Zhang Jiu hurried to fetch the dirty water.

The matchmaker also heard Li Enbai's words, but she didn't hear clearly, she just felt like she was carrying water or splashing something, she suddenly felt bad, she put oil on her feet and hurried away.

Zhang Jiu brought out the water, but the matchmaker had disappeared long ago. He put down the water basin, and after looking for a long time, he couldn't find the matchmaker, "You ran so fast!"

"Zhang Jiu, if a matchmaker comes to the door in the future, she will be driven out without asking why." Li Enbai said something, then went back to the house and closed the door.

In the room, the expression on his face eased a lot, he walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. On the bed was a Yunli who was "looking at the wall and thinking about it". He was sitting cross-legged, with his face facing the wall in the bed. A capital "I'm angry".

"Lizi, it's all right, don't be angry anymore." Li Enbai went to stop his shoulder, but he struggled to avoid it.

Pushing away Li Enbai's hand, Yunli didn't look back, "Don't talk to me, I'm too angry, you have to take it easy."

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, I told Zhang Jiu that if the matchmaker dares to come to our house in the future, let Zhang Jiu drive her out and don't listen to the matchmaker's nonsense, okay?" Li Enbai stopped his shoulder again.

Yun Li was actually not angry with Li Enbai, he was just angry with himself, but he didn't know why he was angry. After all, Brother En treated him really well and never went outside to attract others.

But there are still rotten peach blossoms who keep coming to the door, and he knows in his heart that after Brother En is admitted to the scholar, there will definitely be more cases like this than now.

He touched his stomach. It would be great if his stomach could live up to expectations, and he would have a baby sooner.

"What are you thinking?" Li Enbai turned him forcefully, "Whether there is a child has nothing to do with whether there is a third party between us."

It was only then that Yunli realized that she had said what was in her heart, "But if I have a child, others will not dare to use my inability to be born as an excuse for you to take a concubine."

When he raised his head, his eyes were red from crying, which made Li Enbai nervous, "Are you crying? Are your eyes hurting? I'll ask Zhang Jiu to get some well water to apply to you."

The well water is cold, which is suitable for cold compresses. Yunli touched his eyes, a little embarrassed. He didn't know that he was so angry, and the matchmaker didn't say too much. I couldn't stop crying.

"I'm fine, so I just cried a little bit, and I feel much better after crying." Yunli approached him, plunged her head into his arms, and refused to look up, it's a bit embarrassing for her to cry because of such a trivial matter.

Li Enbai touched the back of his head and ran down his hair, "Lizi, you have to know that what those people say are just excuses, there will be other excuses without children, and it's nothing more than dislike of poverty and love." rich, chasing fame and fortune."

"You have to straighten your back and be tough. No matter what others say, I only have you alone. The most important thing to me is you. What others say is just out of jealousy. You are sad. They will be proud." Li Enbai instilled in Yunli little by little thoughts that did not conform to the current etiquette.

When Yunli couldn't see it, a pair of indifferent and dangerous eyes appeared.

Under his touch, Yunli slowly fell asleep after a while. He had been busy in the factory during the day, and the matchmaker came to the door before he got home in the afternoon. He gave birth for a long time, and now he relaxes for a while. Just sleepy.

After coaxing Yunli to sleep, Li Enbai went to the living room, Zhang Jiu followed and asked, "Master, do you want some refreshments?"

"No need, Zhang Jiu, have you gotten acquainted with the villagers recently?" Li Enbai didn't want Yunli to sleep for too long, waiting for him to have dinner together.

"The Zhang family in the far south doesn't have much contact with each other, and the other villagers probably know each other well." Zhang Jiu went in without knowing it.

Li Enbai knocked on the table, "Recently, there must be a lot of young people in the village who are busy with blind dates, right? After all, our village is now a well-known wealthy village."

"My lord is right. The reputation of our village's wealth has indeed spread throughout the surrounding area. There are about 57 young men, girls and brothers who have tried marriages in the village. 20 of them have already engaged, and the remaining 37 are in full swing. I like it." Zhang Jiu said the news he knew.

"37 people, how many are men?" Li Enbai's fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if ringing someone's death knell.

"25 people." Zhang Jiu thought for a while and reported the number.

"More than half, very good." Li Enbai stopped knocking on the table, although he didn't make any sound when he knocked on the table, but when he stopped, Zhang Jiu felt relieved, "Call Shuangzhong, we Leave things to him."

"Hey, I'll call him right now." Zhang Jiu didn't dare to ask what it was, and always felt that it had something to do with Matchmaker Zhang's visit today.
