Chapter Eleven Showdown
Back at He's mansion, Li Yang turned around and walked towards the backyard.
It is the autumnal equinox and the fruit trees on both sides of the courtyard are full of fruits. Mrs. He sat under the shade of the tree, tilting her head to look at the account book in her hand.
"Madam is in poor health, so you should pay attention to rest on time!" Li Yang came to Mrs. He with a cup of tea. He smelled the musk emitted by her body, and felt a sense of peace of mind.
"Where did you go to play in the afternoon?" Mrs. He raised her head and smiled, her smile as if she was a flowery person, her tone was indescribable, and the whole courtyard seemed to have a crisp laugh.
"I just went around the mountains and forests next to me and prepared to catch some wild game to replenish my wife's body." Li Yang said with a flattering smile.
Mrs. He twisted Li Yang's face, then pouted her delicate little mouth, and complained: "You kid, you are mysterious all day long. There are many poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains and forests. What should I do if I get hurt?"
Seeing Mrs. He's doting tone, she treated herself as a child to coax her. Li Yang's body was stiff and she was so embarrassed.
"I like children the most!" Mrs. He said with a sad expression: "It's a pity that I'm not good at my stomach, otherwise I wouldn't have lived alone in Nuqing County."
Speaking of this, Mrs. He seemed to have fallen into deep thought, and after a while, she said: "It won't take long, I'm afraid that the unfaithful man will bring the fox charming son back to divide the family property. Unfilial piety is the greatest thing, but I'm sorry to their He family!"
Speaking of this, Mrs. He pinched Li Yang's face, picked up the account book and looked at it: "Little monkey, can you tell the words?"
Li Yang nodded after hearing this: "Although I was a child, I had difficulty making a living, I also knew the importance of reading and literacy. So when I had the opportunity, I would go to school to take classes, so I also recognized a few superficial big words."
"Yes, although you are young, you are smart and hardworking. What's even more rare is that you understand the importance of reading and literacy!" Speaking of this, you smiled and said, "My mother's surname is Zhao. When she was young, her family was prosperous. She was also a family of officials in the upper class of the capital. She also had a special teacher. Unfortunately, she encountered troubled times and her family fell into trouble. Overnight, her family was fired and I fell into the streets. It was then that I met that dead man.
Li Yang was silent when he heard this. Faced with such sensitive topics, he really didn't know what to comfort him.
"Where has Mr. He gone? Why haven't he come back for so many years?" Li Yang asked after a while.
"That dead man raised a fox in the provincial capital. I was not upset, so I simply moved back to my hometown! He runs the He family's business, walks outside to deal with off-site affairs, and I live here, running industries near Nuqing County, and is responsible for managing the He family's accounts." Mrs. He sighed, breathing slowly like orchids, accompanied by the fragrance, made Li Yang, the old otaku who had been for many years, weakened his body.
"If a person wants to achieve great achievements, he must know the words and words. The reason why the dead cannot do without me is that I know the words and words, proficient in the numerology, and manage all the accounts of the He family! Every expense on the dead can't be hidden in my eyes!" Speaking of this, a hint of sadness appeared in Mrs. He's eyes: "But last year I heard that the bitch had a pregnancy, and in recent months, he has become more and more restless and has started to interfere in the family affairs, making small moves."
"You have been in He's mansion for some time. Since you know the text and literacy, how about helping me manage the He family's accounts?" Mrs. He sighed and said, "It's a pity that I have no great knowledge. Otherwise, with your intelligence, you will definitely have a great future."
"If my wife hadn't been helping her frequently in recent years, Xiao Liuzi and I would have starved to death. It would be great to be able to help her." Hearing this, Li Yang naturally agreed.
"Silly child, I'll tell you that my wife has a divorce, or call me godmother!" Mrs. He smiled and joked.
"Although I look tender, I am already fifteen years old. If I call my godmother, wouldn't I call my wife old? In my opinion, I'd better call her sister." Li Yang grinned and showed her white and neat teeth.
"If you don't say it, I forgot to ask. You are really fifteen years old..." Mrs. He looked at Li Yang with surprise when she heard this, stretched out her white little hand and pinched his face, "This little face is tender, I thought you were only twelve or thirteen years old."
Feeling the tingling pain on his face, Li Yang's face turned dark and said to himself: I tell you that at such age, it is to let you pay attention to the defense between men and women, not to let you pinch my face at any time.
Although I was depressed, Li Yang did not forget the serious matter: "Madam, I came here to ask you for leave. I have some things for a while. I have to go out for a few days, as short as three or five days, and as slow as possible, as long as half a month. What do you think?"
"Go out? Where to go..." Mrs. He asked with a slightly confusion with her beautiful eyebrows.
"To be honest, my wife, I learned the ability to refine alchemy and make medicine with a Taoist priest You Fang for a while. However, I was young and had a low level of cultivation at that time, so I fell into begging for a living. Now I have achieved some results, so I want to go to the mountains to collect medicinal materials."
"Oh... you still have this skill, but the land of Xiangxi has always been in the mountains and dense forests, and it is extremely dangerous. In this way, what kind of medicinal materials do you need? Write a prescription for Butler He and ask him to buy it for you. Why do you have to go there yourself!"
Although Li Yang looked serious, Mrs. He didn't take it seriously, just to think that he was a child's character and was just a mess.
"Madam, please see..."
Since he decided to stay in He's mansion, some things were destined to be hidden. Li Yang did not defend himself and put them in the bag directly. The two grew in the wind and quickly turned into two giants, guarding Li Yang.
"This..." Even though Mrs. He was very knowledgeable, she was so scared that she staggered and almost fell to the ground when she saw these two strange beasts as big as a calf.
Li Yang was quick-witted and moved forward to support Mrs. He and comforted him: "Madam, don't be afraid, these two strange beasts are all protective spirit beasts I have conquered. They have a gentle personality and will not hurt people at will."
"The medicinal materials I need are not available at all in the shops, and with these two strange beasts protecting me, Mrs. shouldn't have to worry about my danger."
After all, it was not an ordinary woman. Mrs. He quickly came to her senses and sighed: "Well! Since you have such ability, what's there to worry about?"
As he said that, Mrs. He looked at Li Yang with complicated eyes and returned to her previous arrogance: "I have known for a long time that you are not an ordinary person, but I didn't expect you to have such skills. Since that's the case, why do you need to come to He's mansion to be a servant? Could it be that I'm a fun trick to deceive me, a woman."
"My wife misunderstood. She has been living for me. How dare she deceive her? Nowadays, warlords are separatist and the world is in chaos. If you can have a stable life in He's mansion, why should I go to that muddy water?" Seeing that Mrs. He misunderstood, Li Yang could only explain with a wry smile.
Seeing that Mrs. He was skeptical, Li Yang could only continue to explain: "I have been here in Nuqing County for several years. If I really want to deceive my wife, I don't have to wait until now."
"You little monkey, I'm telling me why you are mysterious all day long." Mrs. He has seen the world. Seeing Li Yang's bitter explanation, the suspicion in her heart gradually faded away.
Although she didn't deal with Li Yang much, as long as she wanted to inquire about the matter of Nuqing County within a hundred miles, she rarely had anything to hide from her. With Li Yang's ability, if she had any unspeakable purpose, she would probably not have to explain such a bitter explanation.
"Since you have something to do, go quickly. Remember to come back early and don't play wild outside..."
