Cheng'er was very happy, and was playing with his candy box, which was full of candy, and he was happy just by looking at it.

"Is this Cheng'er? Are you all this tall?"

Saying that, Mrs. Fang reached out and touched Cheng'er's head. Cheng'er didn't like strangers, so he quickly hid behind Zhong Li. Before he broke his head, he was actually not small.

The boys in the house were all enlightened at the age of four. Cheng Er also went to the clan when he was four years old. After breaking his head, he has not grown at all. He is very playful and can’t sit still during class. The most naive, but also the most cruel, they call him a little fool, and even make fun of him. The more times he is, the more afraid of people.

Later, Zhong Li didn't let him go to the school, and taught him to read and write by himself. After two years of raising him in the yard, Cheng'er became a little more courageous, but when he met strangers, he was still afraid.

Zhong Li pinched the little guy's paws soothingly, and asked him to call out to his aunt before saying, "Why is my aunt here? I should have come to the door in person, but when I left the house today, I brought Cheng'er with me, and it was not easy. "

Seeing her gentle attitude, Fang Shi was relieved, she was really afraid of Zhong Li's anger.

When Qiuyue went to the door to thank him, in fact, Fang Yuanyi had already come to the mansion quietly. He hesitated and asked for help from Mr. Fang, but he refused to say how much money he had embezzled, and what was wrong with the account book, Mr. Fang’s heart froze immediately.

It wasn't that Mr. Fang was out of his mind, and he didn't give Fang Yuan the right words, so he let them go back. One was a cousin who was not very important, and the other was a niece who was expected to marry a high school. It was clear at a glance who Fang would choose.

When Qiuyue inadvertently mentioned the shop's income, Mrs. Fang scolded them all over in her heart, only to think that they were so daring that they really wanted to die.

Naturally, she did not dare to cover up Fang Yuanyi.

When she came to see Zhong Li, she was also afraid of falling apart.

Although she is a little smart, she is not too bad. The main reason why she was lukewarm when she treated Mother Zhong was because her family was not wealthy. She was inevitably uncomfortable when she added a few mouths all at once. profit.

After Mother Zhong got married again, the contradiction between the two was much weakened, and she also benefited a lot from Mother Zhong's remarriage. Now, her attitude towards Zhong Li is somewhat flattering.

Along the way, Mrs. Fang got a lot of news from Qiuyue, but she never expected that the two of them would dare to be greedy for so much. Although she deserved their filial piety, she was only a drop in the bucket.

After the greeting, Mrs Fang said: "These two are so bold, I trust them! Don't spare them just because you are worried about your aunt, and let them make up for what should be made up, otherwise, in the future, when you go underground, your aunt will make up for it. I really don't have the face to see your mother."

Zhong Li smiled and said, "It's good that my aunt doesn't blame me."

Fang Shi naturally did not dare to blame her, and asked Fang Yuanyi to hand over the ledger.

It took Zhong Li a week to read through the ledger. They had sorted out the accounts from the previous year and last year. The two of them did a fair job on the fake accounts, but they didn't have time to fix this year's ledger. Naturally, there were mistakes. Not a lot.

In the end, they each made up more than 200 taels. Although it was far less than the greedy one, Zhong Li didn't pursue it any further. After all, one was Fang's cousin and the other was Fang's brother-in-law.

Zhong Li didn't use them anymore, she closed the shop directly, planning to rest for a while before reopening.

She has been busy for nearly ten days, and when she relaxes, she realizes that her body has never felt uncomfortable these nights.

For the next two days, Zhong Li was thinking about the store, and wanted to change to another business. Now that the store's reputation has already been ruined, if it continues to open, it is estimated that there will be no income, so it is better to start all over again.

She kept thinking about the shop and didn't pay much attention to other things. It wasn't until the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month when Qin Xing came over and asked her to go to Youfengtang, and she didn't know that Pei Xing was back.

Zhong Li's heart lifted instantly.

Chapter 10 Torn

Qin Xing didn't step into the backyard, but just stuffed a note to Qiuyue, left a sentence for your master, and left.

On the note, Long Feifengwu wrote the word "come here". At a glance, it was Pei Xing's handwriting. His pen was sharp and his handwriting was very atmospheric, with a sense of imposing manner like a rainbow.

Zhong Li couldn't help but glanced two more times before putting away the note. She went to his residence nervously. Youfengtang was in the far northwest corner. No one dared to run to him because he liked to be quiet. When Li entered, she was lucky not to meet the little servant girl.

The courtyard is as quiet as always, and there are very few people. The sun slants down from the southeast, and the warm light covers the courtyard, making it seem quiet and warm. Only the plum blossoms on the branches are happily stretching their muscles and bones. Extremely charming.

When Zhong Li came in, Qin Xing happened to be guarding outside, "Miss Zhong go in directly, the master is inside."

Zhong Li thanked him and walked in slowly.

Pei Xing's room was very deserted, with very few ornaments. It looked quite low-key. Only the original paintings on the wall could tell the master's extraordinaryness.

Although Zhong Li likes to paint, she doesn't dare to look at it too much. She lowered her eyelashes and walked into the room uneasy. After she came in, she looked up and saw Pei Xing at a glance.

He was leaning on the couch, the front of his clothes was slightly open, revealing a piece of snow-white tunic. He sat lazily and frowned slightly, revealing his unhappiness.

Pei Xing just came back from the palace, and he handled the case smoothly this time, but every time he entered the palace, his mood would be very bad, and after seeing the old lady come back, he could not relieve it.

He wanted to go horseback riding, but when he opened the closet to look for riding clothes, a begonia-colored dress caught his eye.

He left Beijing this time, and did not reveal his identity until the case was completed. Before leaving, he attended the farewell banquet of local officials. During the banquet, there were women dancing. At that time, those girls wore these dresses.

He just glanced at it, and someone offered the girl up at night. Qin Xing knew that he would never touch these people, so he drove them away. Unexpectedly, he bought the clothes quietly.

It was undeniable that the moment he saw this dress, what flashed in his mind was indeed the picture of Zhong Li wearing this dress.
