Chapter 43 Clearing Obstacles and Letting Go
After drinking and eating, Daiyu took out a piece of paper and handed it to Yan Li, and asked Zijuan to come in and take two ingots of silver and pushed them to Yan Li, saying: "This is what I owed you before, and I will make it up in full today." Come on, please accept it, otherwise we won't talk about it!"
Yan Li couldn't help frowning when he heard this, but he didn't say anything. He took the piece of paper to look at it, and saw that it was densely packed with various expenses for the purchase of Fenglianzhuang's small house, shops, fields, etc., which surprised Yan Li. Yes, the above amount was not what I reported to Daiyu, but the real price.
Daiyu saw that he was surprised, and explained: "I don't want you to work hard and pay for me. I really can't afford such a favor. It's better to settle the accounts clearly, so that you and I can get along with each other frankly."
After hearing this, Yan Li knew that it was because of his mother, so he nodded and said: "That's fine, so as not to embarrass you." After finishing speaking, he asked Zijuan to get a pen and ink, and signed on the paper without hesitation. .Zijuan handed over the silver at the right time, and Yan Li was not polite, took it casually and nodded to Daiyu, "So, our previous entanglement in money and relationship has been completely cleared up, and you don't need to feel indebted to me any more." Let’s stand up and be a man in the future!” After speaking, he said goodbye and strode away.
After Yan Li left, Daiyu let out a sigh of relief.Zijuan asked what was wrapped in the handkerchief, so Daiyu opened it for Zijuan to see, and told the origin of the bracelet. After hearing this, Zijuan couldn't help clapping her hands and said, "This is a good deal." Now, the girl can feel at ease from now on!"
There was also a faint smile on the corner of Daiyu's mouth, but she always felt that Yan Li's mother's attitude changed too quickly, and she couldn't adapt to it for a while, and she always felt that this matter was not that simple, and she was afraid that Yan Li had concealed some truth .
Let's talk about Yan Li.After coming out from Daiyu's house, she really entered the first house at the entrance of the alley.As he said, it was a mess inside, Uncle Li, Aunt Li, Song Er, and Bai Er, the two servants, were all rushing to arrange things.Yan Li stood by and watched for a while, then shook his head unconsciously and said, "This family still lacks a few careful girls!"
Aunt Li heard this, and hurriedly said: "That's right, women are always careful, and they are more patient than men when doing things like cleaning and tidying up."
Song'er listened at the side, and couldn't help interjecting: "Since you have such a meaning, why don't you call some from home? I think Zhao'er is very good, he is practical and willing to work, and he doesn't like to show off. He is very appropriate." people."
After hearing this, Yan Li nodded his head and said: "Since that's the case, you'll run for me tomorrow and call Zhao'er over, and let her choose one of the four new girls to come over with her. This side is in charge of serving tea, pouring water, and sweeping the yard. As for Aunt Li, you can work in the kitchen with peace of mind from now on." Song'er heard this, and hurriedly agreed, and Aunt Li was also full of joy, thanking Yan Li several times. Compassionate, happily continued to work.
After everything was settled, it was time to turn off the lights and go to bed. Song Er fetched face wash water for Yan Li, and asked curiously while waiting for Yan Li to wash his face: "I'm going to miss Lin today, can I send the things out?" ?”
Yan Li nodded triumphantly.Song'er was really happy for the master, but she still asked uneasy: "Then she didn't suspect anything?"
Yan Li thought for a while and said, "There should be no doubts. Anyway, she didn't ask much, so I didn't say much."
"Then how does the young master want to explain to his wife?" Song Er worried.
As soon as this incident was mentioned, the smile on the corner of Yan Li's mouth gradually faded, and after a long silence, Fang said: "As a son, it is reasonable to say that you should not lie to your mother, but the matter is special, and I didn't care about it so much at the time. As long as the old man let go, I must not miss this opportunity. As for the matter I promised her, I have only one solution after thinking about it, and that is to personally persuade Miss Qi to let her give up voluntarily. !"
"This... Miss Qi has a deep-rooted affection for the young master. Besides, you have agreed to her terms. If you want her to give up voluntarily, I'm afraid it will not be so easy!" Song'er couldn't help worrying.
Yan Li smiled and said: "At this point, I have no choice but to give it a go. In short, I don't want Miss Lin to be wronged!"
The next day, Yan Li and Song'er rode back to the city early in the morning, but Yan Li didn't go home, but only sent Song'er to the house to return to Ming Wei Madam to take Zhao'er and one of the maids over. As soon as he entered the city, he ran away from Song'er, went straight to the house of his friend Ye Mozhi, and went to discuss with Ye Mozhi's mother about adopting Daiyu as his daughter and preparing for his marriage in the next year.
This came and went, and it was noon on the second day.When Yan Li returned to the new house, Song'er had brought Zhao'er and another girl, Shun'er, to wait for a long time.
When Zhao'er saw Yan Li coming back, he hurriedly brought Shun'er to kowtow.Yan Li told her about the matters that he would be responsible for here in the future, and then asked Zhao'er, "How is everything at home?"
Zhao'er hurriedly said: "Everything is fine! It's just...that Sister Qing'er's situation is a little bit bad!"
When Yan Li heard the word "Qing'er", he felt a little blocked, but when he heard that she was in a bad situation, he couldn't bear it and asked, "What's wrong with her?"
Zhao'er said: "My wife assigned her to Mother Zhao's son Fu'er. Who knew that Fu'er was lazy, greedy, and suspicious, so since she married Qing'er's sister, she beat or scolded her, and Qing'er My sister's body is often bruised and purple, it's very pitiful..."
After Yan Li heard this, he sighed unconsciously: "She, she always likes to play tricks on others on weekdays, but she never thought that she would end up being tricked by others for the rest of her life. It's really... a self-inflicted crime!"
"But Sister Qing'er is really pitiful. She often sneaks up to me and cries, saying that she regrets being too ignorant before, and wants to ask the young master for help. Young master, look..."
"At this point, what else can I do? I can't interfere in other people's housework, right?" Yan Li said helplessly, "Unless they give her a divorce paper, I can't save her either!"
"If you want to get her divorced there, I'm afraid it's impossible. After all, that Fu'er has too many bad deeds. Who would dare to marry him if you know the details? That's why Sister Qing'er made a mistake, so she was assigned to him, otherwise... ...Ah..." At this point, Zhao'er couldn't continue, so she let out a long sigh and silently lowered her head to wipe away her tears.
To be honest, Yan Li heard that Qing'er suffered so much, and it would be false to say that he didn't sympathize. After all, Qing'er has served him for all these years, and he has worked hard without merit. Although he likes to play tricks, it is not a big mistake. The situation is really embarrassing.But sympathy is sympathy, so what can he do?After all, she is already the daughter-in-law of someone else's family. Although he is the master, it's not easy to extend his hand to other people's housework, right?Therefore, after thinking about it, Yan Lisi still couldn't make a move, so he gave up with a long sigh.
