Chapter 11 Victoria's Secret
Last time we talked about Xiao Ye surviving the disaster, and a group of people were playing happily in the small broken courtyard. Li Yi enjoyed this process very much, so let’s continue.
Bai Ling ran away with a red face after Ruyun exposed her thoughts. Ruyun pulled Xiao Ye up from the ground and said, "Alright, Li Yi has already appreciated your feelings. If you keep kneeling like this, do you want to get married?" Xiao Ye's face was flushed as if steam was coming out of it. "Hey, what's wrong with you? Your face is so red, maybe you caught some disease in prison? Go find a doctor!"
Ruyun teased, and Bailing said coquettishly: "Sister Ruyun, please stop making fun of others!" The girls made a fuss for a while, and Bailing said: "Master Li, we are going to take Miss Ye'er to take a bath, do you want to come too?"
When Li Yi heard this, he turned around and left! It's not that he didn't want to go take a bath with the girls! Ah! Go and have fun, but she was afraid when she saw Ruyun standing by and watching coldly! Fourth-rank warrior, are you kidding? Send him to the west in a minute! Therefore, Li Yi, who had the heart but not the courage, returned to the courtyard. There were people in the courtyard waiting for him to celebrate, naturally, they were Chen Liang and Fang Zhuo.
The stone table in the courtyard was ready with wine and food, waiting for Li Yi to come back. Li Yi didn't hesitate to sit down, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating. Chen Fang and the other two smiled and started eating together. The three of them ate and chatted. Fang Zhuo asked, "What did Yang Huai say to you afterwards?"
"He told me that if I wanted to become an official, he would help me." Chen Liang asked, "What did you say?" "I thanked him for his kindness, but I don't want to be an official."
Fang Zhuo was relieved and smiled: "Little friend Li, do you really not want to be an official?" Li Yi looked up at Fang Zhuo and asked: "Master Fang, what's good about being an official?" Fang Zhuo smiled and said: "Nothing good, you see, I also resigned and came here."
Chen Liang said, "You're resigning, aren't you? You came here because you couldn't make it anymore!" Li Yi tried to smooth things over, "Master Chen, you've made up your mind. As the saying goes, don't hit someone in the face, don't expose their shortcomings when you're talking to them, don't embarrass Master Fang."
Fang Zhuo smiled and said, "Master Chen is right. I can't make it any further. It doesn't matter if I don't want to be an official! It's good to have you two here with me."
Li Yi looked at Fang Zhuo and asked, "Master Fang, do you think Yuwen Ye will stop?" Fang Zhuo shook his head and smiled. Li Yi nodded and said, "I also thought that Yuwen Ye would not give up, but I didn't expect how he would retaliate. He hasn't settled his account yet, and Xiao Ye's revenge has not been avenged yet. I have to find a way to help her understand this matter thoroughly!"
Fang Zhuo nodded and said, "Well, Yuwen Ye is a simple-minded man with no scheming. He is dissolute and narrow-minded, and he will never achieve anything great. But his father, Yuwen Tian, is quite capable. He once worked in the Ministry of War and was good at deploying troops. As for the weaving bureau's purchaser who committed suicide in Qing'an, how could Yuwen Ye just ignore it? He will definitely send someone to inquire about it, and you will definitely not be able to hide it by then. You should make plans early."
Li Yi smiled and said, "No one knows a son better than his father. How could Yuwen Tian not know what his son is like? If he doesn't discipline his son and still comes to trouble me, it proves that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked! There is no good person in the Yuwen family of Qingzhou!"
Fang Zhuo stroked his beard and said, "The subsequent troubles have just begun. You have to think about how to place Xiao Ye and how to protect yourself."
Li Yi nodded and said, "Thank you Master Fang for reminding me. I have made arrangements for Xiao Ye. As for the back-up plan of Yuwen Tian and Yuwen Ye, I haven't figured out a solution yet. But for now, I can only wait and see and see what happens." Chen Liang smiled and said, "Little friend Li is thoughtful and good at planning and layout. He has arranged all matters very well and even set up a way for Yang Huai. He is no worse than Brother Fang."
Fang Zhuo nodded and said, "Yes, that's true. If it were you, I would say you should join my Confucian School of Tricks and use your intelligence and talent!" Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Master Fang, you think highly of me. I am used to being lazy and don't like to use my brain. I would worry less if I can and live a more carefree life."
"Carefree? I'm curious about how carefree Master Li is." Ruyun's voice came. The three saw that Ruyun didn't stand up. The latter took a seat, stretched out his hand and pointed. A branch broke by itself and flew towards Ruyun. It kept cracking during the flight and finally turned into a pair of chopsticks and fell into his hand. Ruyun began to pick up the dishes. Li Yi wanted to like, collect and forward this operation, but when he saw that the other two didn't show any surprise, he pretended to be calm and pretended nothing had happened.
The three of them became four, still chatting while eating. Ruyun said, "Li Yi, what do you want to do with Xiao Ye?" Li Yi didn't even look at her and said directly, "Didn't we agree before that you would pay for her to open a shop, specializing in selling your women's clothing, and the income would be 50-50. This is a sure win!" Ruyun rolled her eyes and said, "Do I care about that little bit of money?"
"That little money? Sister Ruyun, Xiao Ye is famous now. If she opens a shop to sell clothes, it will definitely sell well and make a lot of money. I'm letting you make a lot of money for nothing!" "Li Yi, don't lie to me! The money from selling the shop and buying goods is not even worth it! And you're making money for nothing! Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid?"
"I say, Yun San Sui, are you really incapable of calculation or are you just pretending that you can't calculate? The only one who takes care of Xiao Ye Zi's business is the girl in your building. You set up a store for Xiao Ye Zi and then sell the goods yourself. The pocket money you give to the girl goes back into your pocket. You can't figure this out, right?" Ru Yun was confused, but the idea of self-production and self-sales and money going back into your pocket seemed to make sense, but she was too embarrassed to ask for clarification, so she said, "Is that so? Okay, then I'll just accept it reluctantly."
"Speaking of which, this good business is handed over to you, don't just think about taking advantage, you have to take care of Xiao Ye. Yu Wenye must have a backup plan!" "Do you need to tell me that? Do you think I am? Li Yi, what did you call me just now? Yun San Sui? Have you had enough of living?"
Li Yi clasped his fists and begged for mercy: "Sister Yun, I wish you good luck. Please forgive me for what I have done. When I succeed in the future, I will definitely remember your kindness!" Ruyun rolled her eyes and said: "You are the one who wants to succeed. Dream on."
Chen Liang said, "Ruyun, what you said, you haven't seen what Li Xiaoyou is capable of?" Liu Ruyun chuckled and said, "Capability? If he really had ability, why would he be driven out, unable to find a job, and sleeping on the street, suffering from cold and hunger?"
Li Yi shook his head and smiled, "Why mention the past? Things are different now. We are in high places singing about the beauty of the world, drinking wine in the courtyard and singing about the mountains and rivers. Chen Liang picks up his brush and splashes ink, Fang Zhuo has a good strategy when making his move, Ruyun is chivalrous and punishes the evil, and finally Ye'er is exonerated. This is the right time to celebrate, and I'll raise my glass to drink with you!" As he spoke, Li Yi raised his glass to toast the three people, and the three of them drank up the wine in the glass.
Ruyun smiled and said, "Now that the atmosphere is right, Li Yi, sing a song for us!" Fang Zhuo and Chen Liang also joined in the fun. Li Yi smiled and took out his zither, set it up and started playing and singing. It was Jay Chou's song "Red Dust Inn":
The end of the world is the wind and sand, the story of the mortal world is called concern
Fengdao is hidden in the ordinary people's east fence, and the ancient temple with idle clouds and wild cranes
The reason why fast horses fight in the arena is nothing but fame and fortune.
How can a person who has the country in his heart be happy and carefree? I only want to grow old with you.
The sword is unsheathed, who will laugh at the grudges? I only want to hold you in my arms today.
The wind in the Red Dust Inn is like a knife, and the rain falls suddenly, and fate knocks
No matter who is the most powerful in the martial arts world, I will only bow down to you
Cross the deserted village and wild bridge to find the ancient path away from the world
Far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, willow catkins are floating, holding your hand and being free
The window lattice under the eaves reflects the branches obliquely. I sit on the ground with you and drink tea
I use fine brushwork to record you firmly. I don't pick up the brush for elegance.
Under the lamp, I sigh that my beauty is approaching the sunset. I say that fate is like meditation, and I don’t speak.
Your tears are like pear blossoms, sprinkled all over the paper. Love and hate are like freehand landscape paintings.
The sword is unsheathed, who will laugh at the grudges? I only want to hold you in my arms today.
The wind in the Red Dust Inn is like a knife, and the rain falls suddenly, and fate knocks
No matter who is the most powerful in the martial arts world, I will only bow down to you
Cross the deserted village and wild bridge to find the ancient path away from the world
Far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, willow catkins are floating, holding your hand and being free
No matter who is the most powerful in the martial arts world, I will only bow down to you
You look back so charmingly, I smile with tears in my eyes
The wine flags rustle in the wind, the sword is unsheathed, the grudges are over
The charm of music lies in its appeal. The three people heard different scenes in this song. Chen Liang heard the memories and love and hatred in the painting; Fang Zhuo heard the helplessness and unwillingness of leaving Beijing to avoid the world; and Liu Ruyun remembered the old things with Nangong Ting and the past wandering around the world. When Li Yi absorbed the talent into his body and sat back in his original seat, Chen Liang asked with a smile: "What is the name of this song?"
Li Yi replied, "How is "Red Dust Inn", do you three like it?" Ruyun sighed, "I really don't understand, you are a scholar who has never been to the rivers and lakes, but you can write lyrics and music with such artistic conception! Alas!" Fang Zhuo raised his glass and said, "'How can a person with the country in his heart be happy and carefree' is well said! Come, Li Xiaoyou, I toast you a glass!" Chen Liang also raised his glass and smiled, "Let's toast to Li Xiaoyou!"
Liu Ruyun drank a sip and said, "Teach this song to Bailing later and ask her to sing it to me. Speaking of Bailing, what are you going to do?" Li Yi asked, "Sister Ruyun, this is boring. You told me not to hit on your girls, and now you push Bailing to me. What do you mean?" "It wasn't me who pushed her. It was her own idea. No, Li Yi, don't tell me you don't have feelings for Bailing."
Li Yi thought for a moment and said, "Which man doesn't like pretty girls? Bailing is pretty and can sing. If you say you don't have any interest in her, then there must be something wrong. I just didn't dare to think too much about it before, for fear that you would chop me with your sword." "Aren't you afraid that I will chop you now?"
"I'm scared! So now I still don't dare to think about it!" "Oh, oh, oh, you make it sound like I'm the one who broke up the couple. You two should handle your own affairs. I don't care about anything. But Li Yi, let me be frank. You have tricked Bailing into getting her, but you have to treat her well." Li Yi looked at Ruyun, who asked, "What are you looking at?" "You look like an old woman to me!" "Li Yi! You!" As soon as Ruyun raised her hand, Li Yi ran back to the house...
The next day, early in the morning, Xiao Ye arrived at the gate of the courtyard. Chen Liang and Fang Zhuo woke up early and welcomed Xiao Ye into the courtyard. Xiao Ye, who had washed away the bad luck, had restored her appearance and dressed up specially for the day. Chen Liang and Fang Zhuo were about to wake up Li Yi, but were stopped by Xiao Ye. They understood Xiao Ye's good intentions and sat with her in the courtyard for a while.
Li Yi woke up and walked out of the hut in dishevel. Seeing Xiao Ye and the other two, he hurried back to tidy up his clothes. Fang Zhuo saw how Li Yi looked just now and laughed, "This little friend Li is really hard to figure out. Sometimes he is a gentleman, but sometimes he has no sense of propriety!" Chen Liang recalled the conversation between Li Yi and Ruyun at dinner yesterday and laughed, "Yes, Brother Fang, I agree with what you said. This kid is crazy from time to time, which is not normal."
Li Yi straightened his clothes and apologized, "I'm sorry, I have the habit of going to bed late and getting up late, so I lost my composure a little."
Little Leaf bowed and said, "My benefactor, I..."
Li Yi waved his hands and said, "Don't call me that. It makes me uncomfortable. You should call me that as before. It makes me feel more comfortable. When you call me that, I can always remember what your mother said yesterday."
Xiao Ye's face turned red all of a sudden, and she asked softly, "What did I call you before?"
Li Yi thought for a moment and said, "You used to call me Li."
Chen Liang and Fang Zhuo laughed when they heard this and said, "Miss Ye'er used to call you Li Xiaoyou like this?"
Little Leaf said shyly, "Then I will call you Master Li from now on."
Li Yi smiled and said, "Okay, I will call you Xiao Ye from now on. By the way, you came just in time, I have something to talk to you about. Come on, follow me back to the room, let's not talk about those empty words, let's get down to business!"
When Chen Fang and the other two saw Li Yi dragging Xiao Ye Zi towards his room, they were both confused. What did this mean? What the hell was this? Sexual compensation? The two of them felt it was impressive.
