Red apricots make spring

Chapter 138 Hanlin Mansion
Sure enough, the road was uneven and someone stepped on it, but when this person stepped on it, didn't he pay attention to whether there was dog poop under his feet?A scum like Li San doesn't deserve sympathy at all, so Xiaohuan couldn't understand why anyone would complain for him?

"This voice—" Gentle paid attention to another aspect, why did he feel that this person's voice was like Xiaohuan lowering his voice when he was wearing men's clothing, and there was a female accent in it that couldn't be concealed?
Curiously, she raised her eyes and looked out, and saw a handsome young man in white, holding a gold-sprinkled folding fan, half-hidden his face, and appeared on the stage.It's a pity that he can't see his face clearly, only his skin is delicate and his eyes are particularly radiant.Gentle eyes moved down and stayed on his chest. He saw that his clothes were loose and did not reveal his figure, but occasionally a gust of wind blew the clothes along the lines of his body. The outline of his chest was not suitable for his thin body. His body seemed to be a little swollen, and he knew in his heart that this person was a woman disguised as a man.

Looking at the two people accompanying her, they are not tall and have a beautiful appearance, especially the beard on their lips, which is black and shiny. No matter how fake it looks, it is clearly refitted by two maids. There is no taste of 300 taels of silver here.

Encountering this situation, Lu Ce's expression did not change at all, he only glanced outside, and said indifferently: "It's easy to say, I will always pick people to bully."

The young man in white choked when he heard the words, put away the folding fan with a "swish", and said with a muffled snort, "That's right, you are the kind of person who only knows how to bully the common people. Wagging its tail as well."

Gentle frowning, this is too much, but this person is coming for Lu Ce, she can't intervene, but just looked at the neck of the boy in white, and saw that it was flat, without the appearance of Adam's apple, she couldn't help shaking Shaking her head, she felt that this little girl was too inexperienced in modification, she didn't even know how to wear a dress with a higher collar to block her.

Lu Ce still had things to do, so he didn't have the mood to fight for this quick talk, but people all over the street were blocking the crowd to watch, and the carriage couldn't move on, so he had to dodge and get out of the car, looked at Li San and said, "Your leg is broken. ?”

Li San used to see the wind to make the rudder, and originally wanted to slip away, but now seeing someone standing up for him, he thought in his heart that he should continue to pretend to say anything, even if he couldn't get money from the owner of the carriage, the one would fight for him His little white face looked very deceitful, and he might be able to give him a few pennies so that he could go to Zuixianglou to have a good meal or two, so he clutched his right leg and groaned: "Fuck... fold... Heartache..."

Lu Ce said nothing, just walked towards Li San slowly.

Li San was startled, and hurriedly said, "What are you doing...what are you doing...I'm in pain..."

Even the boy in white frowned, and shouted to Lu Ce: "Don't tell me you broke his leg, do you still want to beat him in public?"

Lu Ce ignored her yelling at all, just squatted down in front of Li San, reached out and took out a gold leaf from his bosom, held it in front of his eyes and said, "If your leg is not broken, this gold leaf is yours." , if it’s broken, it’s gone.”

When Li San saw Jin Yezi, his turbid eyes lit up, he hesitated for a while and said: "Is this true?"

"With so many people watching, will I rely on you in public?" The corners of Lu Ce's lips were slightly raised, and the smile on his face was like a spring breeze.

"I..." Li San licked his lips and said, "The legs are not broken." In order to prove that he was not lying, he immediately got up from the ground, bounced around twice in front of the carriage, and stretched his face shyly. He shot and said, "Give me the gold leaf."

Seeing this, the boy in white didn't know whether he was ashamed or annoyed, his face suddenly became ugly, and he couldn't even utter a word.The onlookers also booed repeatedly, and some people said: "Look, I will say that he is extorting money!"

"Very good!" Lu Ce nodded, and put the golden leaf into his arms.

Seeing this, Li Sanyi said anxiously: "You...you lied to me!"

"Who lied to you?" The smile on Lu Ce's face gradually faded, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed Li San's skirt, lifted him up, and quickly reached out to pat his right leg, only to hear a soft "click" , followed by Li San screaming again, looking at it, his leg must have been broken this time.

"The leg is not broken, the gold leaf is yours." Lu Ce said, he lifted Li San to the side of the road, threw him lightly on the ground and said, "If you do evil things, just break one leg, it will be considered cheap for you. After finishing speaking, he clapped his hands and turned back to the carriage.

"Everyone, the fun is over, give way! Everyone give way!" The coachman also felt his breath, and shouted cheerfully, waiting for the crowd to disperse, and continued to drive the carriage forward.

Seeing the carriage go away slowly, the young man in white helped the wrong person, humiliated him in public, hated Li San so much, saw him still rolling and moaning loudly on the ground, rushed over immediately, He kicked hard on his body again, and said angrily: "Teach you to lie to me! Shameless!" After kicking and cursing, he still couldn't understand his hatred, reached out and tore off the jade pendant around his waist, and threw it to a follower beside him, saying: "Go and get Fan Yuanshan Call me! Teach him to see what kind of things are running around in the capital!"

On the carriage, Xiaohuan remembered Li San's ferocious expression when he robbed him that day, and felt that it was too cheap for him not to send him to the official, so he couldn't help but muttered: "Let's forget it like this?"

"Forget it, let's forgive others. Once his leg is broken, he will have to lie on the bed for at least three months. We don't know if he will starve to death. We have figured it out." Gentle said, Thanking Lu Ce, she knew that if she hadn't been with him, even if she bumped into Li San again, she wouldn't be able to catch this guy to see the official.

The carriage first passed the Hanlin mansion, and when they arrived at the place, the three of them opened the door and went in to have a look. They saw that the furniture inside was complete. They must have been cleaned by someone from the palace. But these things are not in a hurry, they can be added slowly, the most troublesome thing is that this house is too big!It is simply a large garden, with mountains, waters, pavilions and pavilions, and a large bamboo forest. No wonder there are a large bunch of keys, which are heavy to hang on the body.

The three of them wandered around for a long time before roughly turning around the Hanlin Mansion.What is a mansion? !This is a mansion!Compared with this place, those modern private villas are so small that they are not worth mentioning!Even Wen Wen and Xiaohuan's Zhao Mansion was quite big. Compared with this place, the area is still smaller, and the landscape is not as elegant.

Xiaohuan stuck out her tongue and said, "The size of this mansion is almost as big as the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Lu Ce shook his head and said, "It's a long way off. The Prime Minister's Mansion is at least two or three times bigger than here."

"It's so big, how will you clean it in the future?" Rourou was about to collapse!No wonder Lu Ce shied away saying that he didn't have the financial resources to maintain such a big mansion!I'm afraid that the money she earns from working hard for a month is not enough to hire someone to clean it.

"Buy some maidservants and servants." Lu Ce propped his elbows in one hand and his chin in the other, and said, "I'll just order it, ten is enough."

"Ten!" Wen Rou immediately squatted down when she heard the words, and took a branch to save money on the muddy ground.

"What are you doing?" Lu Ce asked in surprise.

"I'm trying to figure out how much these people have to eat in a month." Ruan Rou murmured, "Two people have to eat one stone grain a month, and ten people are five stone grains, which is equivalent to [-] copper coins. Wen, it’s just food, if you add dishes and seasonal fruits... Well, there’s no fish in every meal, so meat will always be indispensable, right? It’s going to cost six or seven dollars a month anyway.”

She threw away the branch in her hand, tsk-tsk said: "Wow, I don't know, I was shocked! This is not counting the principal needed to buy the maid and servant! Later, I have to give the servant monthly money, To make clothes for the four seasons, you need to give rewards during the festivals..."

"Sister, you haven't counted our own food." Xiaohuan said aside.

"Yes!" Rourou picked up the branch and originally planned to continue counting, but after thinking about it, she suddenly threw the branch aside, spread her hands and said, "I can't count it, my guy eats well, January It won’t cost much, now that you are added, and I’m used to a refined diet, what’s the price of abalone sea cucumber and shark’s fin bird’s nest? I can’t even afford it if I sell it!”

Well?Why is there no movement?Wen Wen raised her eyes in surprise, but saw that Lu Ce's iceberg face also turned black, gloomy, like the sky that was about to rain.

She swallowed her saliva and said in a low voice, "Why...don't talk?"

Lu Ce took a deep breath, and said angrily, "You treat me like nothing! Do you want you to raise me? Also, who told you that I want to eat abalone, sea cucumber, shark's fin and bird's nest? I will eat whatever you eat! "

"Oh—" Rourou had never seen him lose his composure like this before, he was a little stunned by the yelling, and Xiaohuan was a little at a loss standing beside him.

Seeing them in a daze, Lu Ce consciously lost his composure, calmed down his emotions, and said with a wry smile after a while, "Sorry, I shouldn't get angry. How about it, I will give you 50 taels of silver per month for your household in the future, and if it is not enough, ask me for it."

"It's okay, I made a mistake. I suddenly remembered that the only ones who need to move in now are me and you. My family has no reason to move in." Rourou stood up, clapped her hands and smiled: "I don't need to either. You raise it, and I will bear the monthly expenses by myself. As for the expenses of this house, you can buy as many people as you like, and I will carefully prepare the monthly accounts. your."

This should be no problem!After all, apart from the superficial intimacy between her and Lu Ce, she really has no ambiguity in private, so how could she let him raise her?Don't belittle your own identity!However, after she finished speaking, she suddenly felt that the atmosphere around her was a bit depressed again, and she glanced at Lu Ce guiltily, and she saw that his face turned dark again.
