Chapter 127 Happy for Helian Yue
Chapter 127 Happy for Helian Yue
Zhang Chunhua's heart pounded as she watched his retreating figure. Luckily, her son didn't mention the silver note, otherwise, what would she say?
Actually, she had discovered the rat hole before and was going to fill it in, but since she didn't have anything valuable in the house, she decided to leave it as it was.
Who would have thought that these beasts would actually chew up the banknotes!
Her son will definitely be angry when he finds out, but where is she going to get so many banknotes? I'm really furious with her!
Lin Huaizhi collapsed into the dormitory as soon as he entered and gulped down several large glasses of water. Lu Bai stared at him in disbelief, "Huaizhi, what happened to you? You just went to buy medicine, how did you end up like this?"
Lin Huaizhi rushed in without noticing anyone else in the room. Hearing his question, he stammered, "I...I...I accidentally tripped and fell on my way back."
"Could you help me ask for two days off? I'm really not feeling well and would like to rest in my dorm."
He looked at Lu Bai pleadingly, and Lu Bai sighed and nodded in agreement when he saw his miserable appearance.
"Did you buy your medicine?" he asked again with concern. Lin Huaizhi's face darkened for a moment, then he smiled and replied, "I bought it. I'll be fine after I use it."
"You absolutely must not tell anyone about this," he added to Lu Bai.
Once it has rested, we'll go find Guo Wencai and try to squeeze some money out of it. How can it buy medicine without money?
As more and more people came to Jun'an Hall for treatment, Wen Luozhi played chess with Mo Li in the backyard.
"Miss, I'm feeling much better now, so please let Xiao Li go back with you."
Although Mo Zhengfu was some distance from the table, he could still see the chessboard clearly. He never imagined that a little girl could have such superb chess skills.
Wen Luozhi stopped what she was doing and looked at him with a smile. "If you're not worried, then I really will take him away."
This morning, Xiao Hu kept insisting on coming to town with her, which gave her a real headache.
"Miss, you may take Xiao Li back with you. Once this old man recovers, he can come and help you with chores."
Wen Luozhi recalled that when he came in, he was holding a book of poetry. She had tested Mo Li before, so she figured his grandfather's knowledge must be quite good.
"Let's talk about this after you've fully recovered. I have my own plans."
Mo Li had already jumped off the stool and started packing his things. He had been getting along very well with Yun Hua these past two days, and now that he was gone, he could help take care of his grandfather.
It was also Grandpa's idea for him to go back with Miss early, and he had to listen to Grandpa.
The little one was slow at tidying up, so Wen Luozhi took out paper and pen and made some revisions. What she was holding was the design of the restaurant's interior.
Mo Zhengfu found it truly strange. Looking at the building on the blueprints, he couldn't help but say, "This building is already a bit too complicated. If some of the decorations were removed and it were made simpler, it would look much more comfortable."
His bedroom was simple, probably because he was used to seeing those things and now felt a bit dizzy when he saw the blueprints.
Wen Luozhi's eyes lit up upon hearing this; how come she hadn't thought of that!
She was only thinking about adding something to make the restaurant look more upscale and classy, but she never thought of the phrase "understated luxury with substance"!
She brought the blueprints closer and handed the pen to Mo Zhengfu, saying, "I suppose you've seen a lot in your life, sir. Why don't you give me some pointers?"
Mo Zhengfu smiled and took the pen. Looking at the drawing, he couldn't help but praise her several times before making some minor modifications.
After Mo Li finished tidying up and the two finished their discussion, Wen Luozhi picked up the revised drawings and couldn't help but sigh.
Old ginger is spicier! People who've eaten salt their whole lives are just different!
She looked at Mo Zhengfu with admiration; she wouldn't believe he was just an ordinary old man now!
When it was time to leave, Gu Yunqi wanted to go back with Wen Luozhi, but she wanted to refuse. Instead, she carried out a lot of large and small bags from the house and said ingratiatingly:
"Look, Luo Zhi, I've prepared so many things for your aunt and the others! You can't let my good intentions go to waste!"
Jun Qianzi found his fawning manner utterly unbearable, so she said to Wen Luozhi with a hint of helplessness, "Just agree to him, otherwise I'm afraid I won't have a peaceful day."
He looked at Wen Luozhi for help, and Yunhua also came over and shook her hem, "Sister Luozhi, please agree to Brother Wang Liu's request. He'll drive Master crazy if he stays at the clinic."
Unable to bear the pitiful sight of the two masters and disciples, she could only nod, but then called Jun Qianzi aside and asked, "Do you still have that thing you wore on your face when you came to my house yesterday?"
The face was so realistic that she was startled when Jun Qianzi put it on. If he hadn't taken it off in front of her, she really wouldn't have believed it was a person.
"I only have enough for A-Yue, nothing else."
Upon hearing this, Wen Luozhi patted his shoulder and sighed, "I just wanted to get it for him. It's not a good idea for the two of them to stay inside all the time if that guy comes to my house."
The orchard project is almost finished today. We need to settle everyone's wages and then start building the houses.
There will be many people at home, and there's too much to say in a short time. With people coming and going, it's better to come out on my own than to be discovered by others.
Once Helian Yue put on that realistic face, he could move around freely, which was better than being cooped up in the house.
Gu Yunqi wasn't one to just sit idly by and watch the commotion outside; he probably couldn't resist either. Helian Yue could at least keep him in check.
Upon hearing that it was for Helian Yue, Jun Qianzi happily went inside to fetch the item and finally handed a delicate brocade box to Wen Luozhi.
"You need to wash your face with warm water before using it so that it adheres better."
He gave a few more instructions, but Gu Yunqi found him too long-winded and called Wen Luozhi over to urge her to get on the carriage quickly.
Before they even left the town, they ran into Zhang Chunhua again. Gu Yunqi ignored her and ran straight over, kicking up a lot of dirt. Zhang Chunhua spat twice and cursed at the carriage.
I don't know where this brat found her groom. Not only is he ugly, but he also seems blind! Can't he see that she's a grown woman standing here?
Gu Yunqi hummed an unknown tune as he drove the carriage, feeling quite pleased with himself.
On his way back yesterday, after hearing what Wen Zi'an had said, he was worried that this fierce girl still had feelings for that young scholar!
Judging from the ferocity with which she struck today, she clearly has no affection for him whatsoever! He felt a pang of pain for the young scholar just watching those blows.
Hehe, now it's all good! I never thought she would even think of getting a mask for A-Yue so he could go out and move around!
That also shows that she still has feelings for A-Yue, right? That makes things easier!
As long as it's not just Ah Yue's wishful thinking, he's happy for his good brother.
Inside the carriage, Wen Luozhi was playing with the mask in the brocade box, secretly marveling at the wisdom of the ancients.
She didn't even have such a good item in her system, so Jun Qianzi must have spent a lot of money on it.
Mo Li stared curiously at the mask in her hand, thinking of the child who looked exactly like him.
Could it be that he also has this on his face?
