Chapter 123 It's Junior Master, You Must Follow Me
Qingyu was happy for Li Mulan as she saw how well she got along with her sisters.
Then she was busy all the time. When she took a break, Li Mulan felt that her arms and legs were no longer her own. It was even more tiring than practicing martial arts.
And now she was tired and hungry, so she instinctively looked for Whisper, but couldn't find anyone. She touched her stomach with some grievance, ah... help!
Zhang Yi had gone out for a while before arriving at Li's house. He ordered a few tables of simple meals at the largest restaurant in Kyoto, and had them delivered to his house. The people arrived just at that time.
He found Qingyu and together they distributed the food to the various courtyards.
Then the two of them came directly to Li Mulan's yard. Li Mulan was slumped in a chair at the moment, with Huo Yuanruo and Li Xi beside her.
When Li Mulan saw Qingyu, her expression immediately became aggrieved, "Sister, where have you been?"
Qingyu laughed and showed her the food box in her hand, "I know our Xiaojiu is hungry, so I'm going to get you something to eat."
Li Mulan immediately perked up, "Sister is the best. I'm starving."
Zhang Yi went into the house and moved out a table. It was a bit old, but it could still be used after being cleaned.
Huo Yuanruo and Li Xi hurriedly helped to put the food in the lunch boxes on the table; they were also very hungry.
Li Mulan took a piece of bamboo shoots and pork with chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth. Oh my god, it smells so good. Then she said incoherently, "Does my parents have any?"
Qingyu handed a pair of chopsticks to Zhang Yi, "Yes, don't worry, all the courtyards have been arranged."
Li Mulan immediately acted like a spoiled child, "Sister, what would I do without you?"
Qingyu picked up a piece of sweet and sour carp with chopsticks for her and said, "This was not arranged by me. I was too busy. It was arranged by Uncle Zhang."
Li Mulan looked at Zhang Yi gratefully, "Uncle Zhang, thanks to you."
Although Zhang Yi treated Li Mulan as master and servant, it was more like an elder treating a younger person. "It's all my job. Tomorrow, I've asked someone to go buy some people. This big mansion will need a lot of people. Also, a lot of things in this mansion need to be replaced. I'll go buy them all tomorrow."
Speaking of buying people and things, Li Mulan asked, "Does Uncle Zhang have enough money?"
"It's enough for now. If it's not enough, I'll ask you for more."
Li Mulan thought about it and realized that in this era, buying a person might not cost much money, but furniture and the like would probably be quite expensive. She put down her chopsticks, took out a thick stack of banknotes from a small cloth bag and handed it to Zhang Yi, then looked at Qingyu, "Sister, give all my remaining banknotes to Uncle Zhang."
Although Zhang Yi hesitated, he still took it, "Do you need so many?"
Li Mulan smiled and said, "Before the imperial edict comes, I guess the Li family's property will not be returned. Each family has no money, Uncle Zhang, go and discuss with my second uncle and give some to each family first. As for furniture and other things, if you need to replace them, just replace them all, and don't wait to replace them later, it will be very troublesome to do it twice."
Zhang Yi smiled, "I just wanted to exchange for some small things first. If you do this, I don't think this silver will be enough."
Qingyu smiled and handed over a box, "How about these?"
Li Xi and Huo Yuanruo both looked up at the box, wanting to see how much money was inside.
Zhang Yi opened it in front of several people, "Wow, there are quite a lot. Was this sent by the Killer Alliance?"
Li Mulan continued to eat, "Yeah, I don't know if it's enough. If not, let the little grasshopper..." Speaking of the little grasshopper, "Hey? Where is the little grasshopper? Why didn't he come to eat?"
Zhang Yi explained, "He left as soon as he arrived in Kyoto, saying he was going to inspect the stores."
Li Mulan nodded. "You are really proactive. If the banknotes are not enough, let Little Grasshopper prepare some more."
"Okay, got it."
That night, everyone in the room went to bed early, probably because they were tired.
Li Mulan, Qingyu and Huo Yuanruo did not rest. The three of them climbed over the wall and went out under the cover of night.
Willow house.
Liu Sheng paced back and forth in the room, "Are you sure that Junior Sister said she would come in the evening?"
Ye Tianyu touched his nose and said, "Yes, Junior Master said so himself."
"Then why hasn't it arrived yet?"
Liu Sheng's wife, Xu, consoled him, "Why are you in such a hurry? Xiaojiu's family just arrived today, so they must have a lot of things to take care of."
Liu Sheng ignored his wife, "Hey, I told her to let her live with me, but she refused to listen. Really."
Liu Feng, who was still fidgeting on the thick cushion beside him, said, "Hey, Dad, why are you in such a hurry? Junior Master said he would come, and he will definitely come."
Liu Sheng ignored his disobedient son and looked at Ye Tianyu again, "I asked you to go to that house and see if you found anything?"
Ye Tianyu sat up straight, "Oh, yes, I asked people living nearby, and they said that the house has been empty. Two or three days ago, the housekeeper of the house had people buy a lot of things, saying that his master had returned."
"Bah, these two troublesome people are really here?" Liu Sheng began to pace back and forth again, "They didn't come to my house even though they came. Humph, they dare to hide from me."
Xu shook her head and laughed. In public, he was such a serious and upright dean of the academy and a great literary figure, but as long as his fellow senior brothers and sisters were involved, he became like a child, very immature.
"Who is it that dares to make my senior brother angry? Tell Xiaojiu quickly and Xiaojiu will help you deal with them."
Hearing the familiar voice, Liu Sheng was so happy that he trotted out the door, "Xiao Jiu is here, Xiao Jiu is here."
Li Mulan was dressed in red, with a simple hairpin in her hair, but she looked charming and lovely. Especially her pair of lively eyes, which added a bit of spirituality to her.
Liu Sheng looked the person up and down at him, his eyes full of love, as if he was looking at his own daughter, but he also complained, "Girl, why are you so late?"
Li Mulan stepped forward and took Liu Sheng's arm, "Oh, Senior Brother, I have something to do at home. I just arrived today and I'm busy. I'm almost exhausted."
Liu Sheng nodded to the whisper behind him, "Then I'll arrange for someone to help sort it out, but I'm sure you won't be happy about it."
"Oh, it's just a small matter, why do you need me?"
Xu also came out, her face full of tenderness, "Come in and tell me, what are you doing standing at the door?"
When Li Mulan saw Xu, she immediately let go of Liu Sheng's arm, rushed forward and hugged Xu's waist, "Sister-in-law, Xiaojiu missed you so much."
Liu Sheng looked at his loosened arm, somewhat dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything. Could he be asked to snatch someone from his wife? Forget it.
Xu poked her head and said, "You missed me? You've been missing me for two years before you came? I don't believe you."
Li Mulan immediately pretended to be pitiful, "I don't want to either. It's all Master's fault. He assigned me too many tasks. I didn't have the chance to come."
"Then why did I hear that you went to southern Xinjiang to see Xiao Ba last year?" Xu refused to listen and pretended to be angry.
Li Mulan choked. "It's not... Eighth Senior Brother is not feeling well. Master asked me to bring him medicine, so I went."
Liu Feng immediately exposed him, "Grandmaster clearly asked Second Uncle to go, but you, Little Uncle, insisted on going with him."
