Chapter 12
After dinner, Yan Lifang came back with a tired face.Song'er hastily went up to pick up Ma Zhuang, Yan Li frowned and said, "Why are you here? But did your wife tell you to come?"
Song'er hurriedly said: "Yes, Madam has been unwell for the past two days, so she asked me to come and look for the young master to go back!"
Yan Li hurriedly asked: "What disease do you have? Have you seen the doctor? Have you taken any medicine?"
Song'er said: "I don't know the details, young master, I'd better go back and see for myself."
Yan Li could only nod his head and said: "It's getting late today, it's really too late, let's leave early tomorrow morning." After finishing speaking, he stepped into the main room, Song'er hurriedly asked Qing'er to pour in the washing water, and after Yan Li finished washing, Yan Li asked some more about family matters before letting Song'er go to rest.
After Song'er went out, Yan Li opened the bag that he brought back today, and took out a stack of receipts from it, thinking that thanks to the busy schedule these days, at least he should get everything done today, otherwise the family I don't know how many days it will take to come back, I'm afraid Daiyu can't wait!Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked Aunt Li to go to the backyard to pass it on, and then Fang came to Daiyu's room with the stack of bills.
At that time, Daiyu was reading a book under the lamp. Seeing him coming in, she hurriedly got up and gave up her seat.When Zijuan served tea, Daiyu asked, "Mr. Yan, do you have any clues about what Daiyu entrusted you with?"
Yan Li sighed helplessly: "You are very concerned about this matter. It seems that you can't wait to move out from my place so that you can live a free and comfortable life!"
Daiyu blushed a little after hearing this, and for a moment didn't know whether to answer "yes" or "no". "
Yan Li smiled and waved his hands and said: "Forget it, don't embarrass you, hurry up and take a look at these deeds, with these things, you can live in your own home for a long time in the future." , Hastily unfolded those bills and pushed them to Daiyu.
Daiyu was overjoyed, and hurriedly moved the candle to take a closer look, and saw not only the house deed, but also the land deed in the stack of bills, she was surprised, and hurriedly asked: "This land deed is also for me?"
Yan Li nodded and said: "Yes." Then he explained, "I bought this for you on my own initiative, a total of [-] mu of land, although not much, but it is all good land, and the rent collected every season can protect you Food and clothing all year round. In addition, I also bought a silk and satin shop for you in the city, and I also used the original people to run it for you, so that you can not only use the material to make clothes conveniently, but also have a certain amount of money every year. You keep the proceeds for later use."
Daiyu was moved when she heard his thoughtful thinking, and her eyes were slightly warm, and she said, "Thank you for your trouble! But I don't know which village is the yard I bought for me? How far away from here?"
Yan Li smiled and said: "Not far, it's just next door to my house!"
"What? You mean...the house is right next door to yours?" Daiyu was startled again, and hurriedly asked, "Which house is it? East or west? How could it be such a coincidence? We want to buy a house. It happens to be sold too!"
Yan Li smiled and pointed to the back and said: "It's not on the east or west, but behind this house! ——Actually, the owner of the house wanted to sell it two years ago so that he could go to the city with his son to enjoy life, but the buyer didn't want to buy it." It’s easy to touch, it’s easy for someone to ask, but I can’t pay much, so I just put it on hold, and I went to talk to him and it’s done.”
Daiyu hurriedly said, "Have you ever treated others badly?"
Yan Li said: "Don't worry about that, anyway, I don't spend my money, how could I treat others badly?" After speaking, he hurriedly laughed, "I'm just kidding, this house cost 20 taels in total."
After hearing this, Daiyu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Fortunately, you didn't cheat others, otherwise I will live in peace in the future!"
This is the first time Yan Li sees Daiyu smile, seeing her face shy when she smiles, especially the small dimple on her lips, like a dream, like a celestial being, her heart flutters for a while.
Daiyu didn't notice that Yan Li was absent-minded, she just stared at the bills in front of her and checked them one by one. After confirming that they were correct, she raised her head and asked, "Young Master Yan, you must have spent more than two or two hundred to buy these things? How much more is it?" , I’ll make it up for you.”
Yan Li hurriedly lowered his head to hide his gaffe, and after a while he raised his head and smiled and said, "Miss Lin, you have been in the boudoir for a long time, so you don't know the market conditions. In fact, it only cost five or sixty taels of silver to buy a house, land, shop and two maids. The 60 taels you gave, there is still a lot left! It’s just that we need to renovate the yard in the future, and put in some decent furniture, etc., which will also require a lot of expenses, so I won’t refund you for the time being, until everything is done. I will settle it for you when it is finished, and when the time comes, more money will be refunded and less money will be made, what do you think?"
Daiyu heard that what he said was reasonable, nodded again and again, and said: "Since this is the case, Mr. Lao Yan will worry about it. When everything is over, Daiyu will definitely thank you!"
When Yan Li heard that Daiyu wanted to thank him, he felt a deep smile on the corner of his mouth, and deliberately asked, "What is Miss Lin planning to thank me for?"
"This..." Daiyu was slightly embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.Zijuan, who had been silent by the side for a long time, was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Yan Li who was joking, and then Daiyu who was embarrassed, and couldn't help but burst out laughing .
Daiyu turned her head and stared at her, and said angrily, "Zijuan, there are guests here, why are you so unruly?"
Zijuan managed to hold back her laughter, and said to Daiyu, "Girl, I am Mr. Xiaoyan. This man is too real. The girl said she would like to thank him, but he didn't even have an excuse, so she asked the girl to thank him. You said it's not true." ?”
After hearing this, Yan Li was so embarrassed that black lines appeared on his face, so he had to stand up and said, "Then Miss Lin, please forgive me for being rude!" Then he said, "It's getting late, and you should go to bed earlier. Besides, someone came to my house to send a message , I have to go home, it will take three to five days at most, and I will be back in a day or two at least. If the house is vacant, let them live in it first, and move in together after the yard you set up is tidied up."
After hearing this, Daiyu quickly agreed, and said "be careful on the road" again, and Yan Li left.
