From today onwards, Li Yi planned to raise Miss.Liu like a pig for a long time.
The contents of this bowl of medicinal cuisine were very rich. Ordinary people might not be able to withstand the effects of the medicine, but with Miss.Liu's physique, there was no need to worry about the problem of not being able to withstand it. With all kinds of tonics, the sooner her body recovered, the sooner she could go back.
He served a bowl of porridge to Miss.Liu and himself and sat in the yard. The man named Lin Yong walked in from outside. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Li Brothers, have you eaten?"
Li Yi nodded and looked at him. "Brother Lin, do you want a bowl?"
The big man waved his hand with a smile and said, "No need, no need. I've already eaten on the way here."
Li Yi looked at him and asked, "Really?"
…
"Delicious, it's really delicious!"
Lin Yong put down the bowl, wiped his mouth, and praised, "I didn't expect Li Brothers to know how to cook, and your cooking skills are so good. If your sister-in-law had half of your cooking skills, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."
Seeing him licking his lips, Li Yi asked, "Do you want another bowl?"
"Enough, enough …" Lin Yong smiled and waved his hand. "I can't eat any more."
…
When he ate the second bowl, Lin Yong's hands finally slowed down. While eating, he said, "I've seen those scholars often say that 'the kitchen is far from the kitchen'. Li Brothers, you are different from them. Miss Liu followed you because of her good fortune in her previous life. She didn't choose the wrong person."
Li Yi looked back. Fortunately, Miss.Liu's body hadn't recovered yet. Otherwise, this Brother Lin would definitely come in vertically and leave horizontally.
Recently, he often saw Lin Yong these days.
The things in the jewelry store were very valuable. Losing any one of them would be a big loss.
Not to mention, if they were to encounter a group of bold people who would openly rob them, the loss of a single store would mean that everyone in the Lin Family would have to starve for a whole year.
Therefore, the Lin family arranged a lot of guards in every store. The Fanglin Court next to it was under Lin Yong's responsibility.
"Those fellows at home don't have any other skills, but they know how to stab their own people in the back. These few days, they said that Young Miss spent eight thousand taels of silver to buy a decoration, and they said that they hired an outsider to be their accountant …"
Lin Yong said, "If Li Brothers hear any rumors, don't mind them. They are just idle all day."
Li Yi couldn't be bothered with the matters of the Lin Family. Naturally, he wouldn't care about it.
That Miss Lin obviously had some tricks up her sleeve. It shouldn't be a problem for her to deal with those people.
In the past few days, he accompanied Miss.Liu to chat, sleep, and when he was really bored, he did some accounting. He was idle, but he spent his money quickly. In a few days, he spent another 200 taels of silver. Buying medicine really burned money.
He had free time, but he didn't stop practicing.
His inner strength had almost caught up, but his experience and moves were still very lacking. Miss.Liu was injured, but it didn't stop her from sitting at the side and giving pointers.
When he turned around, he saw Lin Wanru standing at the door in a daze. A trace of surprise appeared on Li Yi's face. He said, "Miss Lin, what's the matter?"
Lin Wanru came back to her senses and shook her head. She said, "It's nothing. I'll leave first."
It was just that every time she was upset, she would come here out of habit. This time, she forgot that she had arranged for the eloping couple to stay here.
"Miss Lin, wait a moment." Li Yi called out to her. He walked back into the house and took something out.
He handed her the account book that Lin Wanru gave him a few days ago. He said, "These two accounts have been checked. The details are in here. Miss Lin, take it back."
Lin Wanru nodded, took the account book, and turned to leave.
She had just sent the account book a few days ago. An accountant would need at least half a month to check all the accounts of the Lin family for an entire year.
Moreover, Lin Wanru knew very well that he had been around Miss Liu for the past few days. He had been taking care of her in every possible way. How could he have had the time to check the accounts?
Fortunately, he had already checked the accounts. He had only sent them for others to see so that they wouldn't gossip behind his back. Now that he had achieved his goal, he naturally had to take back the accounts.
"That's right, who is Lin Shuwen?" Li Yi suddenly asked when Lin Wanru was about to leave.
Lin Wanru turned her head and said, "My second uncle. What's wrong?"
"Nothing …" Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Goodbye, Miss Lin."
"Raise your hand a little higher. Did you not eat?"
"Too slow. If you met a true expert, your head would have fallen off before you could stab with your sword."
"This time, it was too fast. I didn't see it clearly. Let's do it again."
… …
As Lin Wanru walked out of the courtyard, she heard Miss Liu's voice coming from behind her. She looked behind her, shook her head, and left.
The way this young man and woman interacted with each other was hard to understand. The woman was extremely beautiful, but her temperament was a little cold. She seemed to be fond of playing with knives and swords. Elder Lin had also said that she was a martial artist …
As for that scholar, she had never seen him read a book. Every day, he was busy in front of the stove. According to Brother Lin, the food he cooked was very delicious. Even the chefs of the restaurants couldn't compare. He didn't look like a scholar at all.
Although he wasn't a scholar, his handwriting was so good that it was as good as the heavens. In private, she had also compared the words' a beauty meets for a thousand years' to the calligraphy and paintings in her family collection. She felt that those words were not inferior to some famous calligraphers in the Qi Kingdom …
However, although it was strange, that scholar treated Miss Liu extremely well. If her aunt had met such a person in the past, she probably wouldn't have died with a grudge.
Some thoughts emerged from the depths of her heart. Lin Wanru shook her head and suppressed those thoughts.
What she needed to worry about at the moment was another matter.
The people in the family, led by Second Uncle, had brought up some matters. In front of everyone, some of their words were very unpleasant to the ears.
It was obvious that they were fighting for power. The second and third branches didn't have many resources in their hands. It was understandable that they wanted to force her to give up some of her power.
Although she wasn't afraid of them, she naturally didn't want to see the peace in the family broken.
"Did you hear? Young Miss hired an accountant from outside. I don't know anything about him."
"I heard. He was placed next to the shop. I saw him the last time."
"I also heard that Young Miss has an affair with that scholar …"
"It can't be. Then what should Young Master Bai do?"
…
When Lin Wanru walked in from outside, she saw the servants in the residence gathered together and whispered. When they saw her walking over, they quickly dispersed.
Her expression didn't change as she walked straight back to her room.
She placed the account book on the table and opened a book of poems. Not long after, a maid came in from outside and said, "Young Miss, Second Master wants you to go to the meeting hall."
"Got it."
Lin Wanru nodded and stood up. Her wrist accidentally brushed against the side of the table and an account book was accidentally swept off.
She bent down to pick up the account book. When she saw a few pieces of paper fall out, she was slightly startled.
"Lin Shuwen."
At first glance, she saw a name written densely on that piece of paper.
She also picked up the other pieces of paper. After looking at them carefully for a while, she put the account book to the side.
It was only now that she finally understood what that scholar meant when he asked that question …
