Chapter 118
"Sister, I can also write. Why buy someone else's? Why don't Xiao An come and write for my sister?"
Li Yuezhu looked at his younger brother's cute little face, touched his head and smiled.
"Children's words are unbridled, uncle, don't be offended."
Ma Yuan finally calmed down. Seeing this girl's calm demeanor, he couldn't help but take a high look. He didn't know which family this girl was from. She was really powerful.
"Miss, just call me Ma Yuan." Ma Yuan stood up and saluted Li Yuezhu.
"Ma Yuan is not talented. Of the two options given by the girl, I naturally chose the second one. I wonder when the girl can start working?"
Li Yuezhu smiled slightly, knowing that this was the result. Ma Yuan was not stupid, so he naturally knew which of the two options was more suitable for him.
"We can start work after the decoration of this house is completed. I will open up a space on the third floor. You can work here temporarily."
Li Yuezhu thought for a while and then said, "You can finish writing at home during this time and send it here."
Before Ma Yuan left, Li Yuezhu gave him another two taels of silver as a deposit. Li Yuezhu stood high and watched Ma Yuan leave with a lot of gratitude.
Feng Binghe came over from behind and said, "You girl, you are pretending to be a big business again."
"What did the old man say? How can Yuezhu do such incredible business at such a young age?"
Feng Binghe listened to Li Yuezhu's denial and did not continue to investigate. Instead, he discussed the layout of the shop with him.
When Li Yuezhu led Xiao An home, it was completely dark and his mother and brother had already finished their meal.
Li Yuezhu looked at several baskets placed in the room. They should have been brought out by Li Yuezhu in the morning. They were filled with lotus pods, lotus flowers, and lotus leaves. It looked like they were brought by Xiaojiu.
"Everything in your house was sent by the Chen family's servants, saying they were trophies for you."
Zhou didn't know what a trophy was, so she told Li Yuezhu exactly as it was.
Li Yuezhu's eyes lit up as she looked at this large handful of lotus flowers and leaves: "Mother, I'm going out and will have dinner when I come back."
Mrs. Zhou saw her daughter running out in a hurry, shouting at the back: "Where are you going, little girl? It's not safe at night, come back quickly."
"I'm going to our neighbor's house, so mother doesn't have to worry."
When Li Yuezhu finished saying this, she had already run out of the door. Mrs. Zhou shook her head, her daughter was getting older, she could no longer control her, and she no longer listened to her.
"Bang bang bang"
Li Yuezhu held a handful of fragrant lotus leaves in her left hand and a small basket of lotus pods in her right hand, and knocked on the door.
"Xuan Yue, open the door quickly, it's me!"
Xuan Yue in the room here, even if she didn't know who was outside, could guess that it was the little girl who was coming when she heard the knock on the door.
"Come, come, you little aunt, don't be anxious."
With a creak, the door opened from the inside. Xuan Yue stuck her head out and looked at the pitch-black street. There was only such a little girl. She couldn't help but sigh that this girl was really too brave.
"What are you doing, girl? It's late at night, and my young master is ready to go to bed." Although Xuan Yue said so, she still invited Li Yuezhu in with a smile.
"Brother Jinyan is going to bed? Does he usually go to bed so early?"
"How can that be impossible? Because of the cough, the young master often can't fall asleep at midnight, but it makes me anxious to death."
Xuan Yue took the basket carried by Li Yuezhu, and when she saw that there were dozens of lotus pods in it, she immediately grinned from the corners of her mouth to her ears.
"This lotus pod is a rare thing. I haven't eaten it yet this year."
Li Yuezhu was even more happy when he heard this: "Really? Then you will benefit from me."
The two of them walked to the door of the living room while chatting and laughing.
Jinyan was lying on the soft couch with a book and reading when he heard the noise outside. As soon as he heard it, he knew it was the little girl coming. The corners of his mouth that were originally bitter because of the medicine now turned slightly sweet.
meaning.
"Brother Jinyan, brother Jinyan, Zhu'er is here to see you."
Li Yuezhu jumped into the room and smelled a strong medicinal fragrance, while brother Jinyan was lying lazily on the soft cushion.
The corners of his mouth were a little white and his face was sallow, which made Li Yuezhu feel heartbroken.
"Brother Jinyan, is your cough still not well?"
Li Yuezhu carefully sat on the other side of the soft couch. Jinyan sat up from the soft couch and looked carefully at the beautiful girl sitting next to him.
"It's okay, brother, this is an old habit, and I have been used to it for a long time. Xiao Zhu'er, why is Xiao Zhu'er still coming to visit brother at such a late hour?"
Li Yuezhu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he mysteriously took out a large pot of lotus flowers and leaves from behind.
She didn't even think about how such a large handful of things could be covered by her small body. Jinyan saw the large cluster of flowers behind her as soon as she entered the door.
"Where did Xiao Zhuer get this?"
Li Yuezhu smiled mysteriously: "Today, Xiaojiu and I went boating on Honghu Lake. The scenery there was so beautiful. We didn't come back until the evening, and then we hurriedly picked so many lotus leaves. No, Xiaojiu
They were all delivered to me."
Jinyan felt extremely happy as he listened to this little girl's thoughts. It had been a long time since anyone had been nagging like this in his ears.
Li Yuezhu picked up the lotus seeds, peeled off the outer skin, and held them one by one in the hands of Brother Jinyan: "These lotus seeds are a good thing. Brother Jinyan needs to eat more."
"Not only does it nourish the spleen, stop diarrhea, clear the heart and nourish the mind, it can also treat palpitations and insomnia. Although the lotus seed heart in the middle is very bitter, I must eat it. It has the effect of nourishing the heart and spleen."
Jinyan looked at the little girl who was peeling lotus seeds for him and smiled knowingly. He touched her furry little head and said, "Xiao Zhu'er is now a little doctor. He actually understands everything."
Li Yuezhu raised his face and said proudly: "No, don't look at who I am!"
Xuan Yue, who was standing nearby, almost cried when she saw such a heartwarming scene. Today is the anniversary of the death of the lady. Just a moment ago, the young master was feeling sad. Today is the most painful day for the young master every year.
Jinyan actually doesn't like eating these lotus seeds. They are a bit hard and not helpful for digestion, so Jinyan ate very little before. Today I saw this enthusiastic little girl taking out the seeds one by one and putting them in one by one.
No matter how unpleasant the food is in his hands, he will enjoy it.
After handing all the lotus pods in the basket to brother Jinyan, Li Yuezhu picked up a bottle with peonies on it and inserted all the lotus leaves in his hand into it. He also took some water from outside and poured the water into it.
Pour it into this bottle and clap your hands to consider it done.
"It is straight in the middle and straight on the outside. It has no vines or branches. The fragrance becomes clearer from a distance, and the pavilions are clean and planted. It can be seen from a distance but not played with."
Li Yuezhu clapped his hands and placed the vase in a place that was difficult to reach: "Then put it here."
Sitting on the soft couch, Jinyan's eyes were already shining. Although that sentence described the lotus, it was also a metaphor for a person's elegance, purity, and steadfast character.
"Is this lotus really as good as Xiao Zhu'er said? Why does Xiao Zhu'er love this lotus so much?" Jinyan's eyes flashed, guiding him intentionally.
