Chapter 74 Nameless Dining Hall (24)

“You can understand it, but don’t you think that the words are a bit too plain?” Li Yannian asked curiously.

Du Mumei’s eyes flashed with the light of excitement and he nodded vigorously. “Mmm mmm, I feel that it is easier to read than any other book. Did you really write it?”

Li Yannian almost blurted out “yes”, but she was still not that thick-skinned. She shook her head and replied: “Of course I didn’t write it, it’s just that my friend’s hands and feet aren’t good, I wrote it for him.”

Du Mumei looked at her contemptuously. “With your writing, you have really wasted your efforts on this book. “How about this, leave the manuscript with me and I’ll rewrite it for you.”

Li Yannian saw that she usually acted like she was completely in love with someone, and couldn’t really believe that she would be so reliable with her homework, “Can you do it?”

“Hmph, I’ll be better than you.”

As she said this, she jumped down from the bed and jumped to the study table. Du Mumei used the old ink stone to hold her hand and formed a row of extremely delicate and pretty little talismans.

“I can’t tell, but you really have some skills,” Li Yannian said as he placed his hands behind his back and looked. Don’t mention it, the words Du Mumei wrote were much better than his own Glyph Devils.

“Sis, are you awake? Come down for breakfast.”

Before the two of them could finish their conversation, Mao Dou had already started calling for the morning.

“Let’s go down to eat first. We’ll talk about the matter of copying books later,” Li Yannian replied as she went downstairs and pulled down Du Mumei’s handwritten copy that she was unwilling to let go of. With half pulling and half dragging it, she finally managed to get her down.

At the dining table, Du Mumei was still unwilling to give up. She fully displayed the natural talent of a merchant’s daughter, hitting Li Yannian left and right as she tried to probe him.

“Red Bean, where does this friend of yours live? Her story is so beautiful, I was so focused on it, and it hurt half of my heart. Tell me, can you take me to see someone after breakfast?”

Li Yannian laughed coldly in her heart. If you want to see Aunty Qiong Yao, then you have to learn how to travel, register to be a Taiwanese tourist group, and take a plane. In the end, you have to see if she’s willing to meet an enthusiastic reader.

“This friend of mine is shy and does not want to meet strangers. I promised him before, so I’m sorry, I can’t tell you.”

As for the book of interest, Du Mumei did not know what it meant to give up, so she continued to use it. “I think your friend’s book is very well written, and the girls around me must also like it. Why don’t you discuss it with your friend and see if she is willing to sell the manuscript to our family? I’ll tell my parents when I get back, and get half of the people in the bookstore to print out the books. “Our family is different from the Gu family, we are famous for our wide hands, like your friend’s book, I can guarantee your safety for you, or at least pay you 10 gold taels.”

“Ten taels!” Although Black Bean and the others did not know what the two were talking about, but when they heard that it was only an idle book, Miss Du actually dared to say that it was worth ten gold coins, which was more than the amount of money that the Gu family had for every month.

Du Mumei looked at the crowd with a little complacency. After drinking a mouthful of hot porridge, her eyes suddenly stopped when she was looking around Zhao Xu. Her eyes clearly flashed with the words “This Young Noble is so handsome”.

Li Yannian was speechless towards this Hua Chi, the 10 taels of gold was very attractive for her, just that she had been too busy recently and did not have much time and time on her mind, she would not be able to produce the entire book soon.

With her hesitation, Du Mumei’s heart skipped a beat, “10 gold coins is really a lot. My big brother’s amount of money has never exceeded this amount. I really like Princess New Moon, why don’t you tell your friend and let her think it over? Even if she doesn’t do business with us, let her finish the story quickly. If you can’t copy it in time, I’ll cover my eyes and listen, then I’ll write the entire story for you in silence later on. ”

Li Yannian looked at the infatuated girl in front of him speechlessly. With this kind of ability, what was there to worry about?

“We’ll talk about it when I meet someone.”

“Then when are you going to see her?” Du Mumei was not easy to deal with and immediately asked.

Black Bean and the others knew that there was no such thing as “her”. Most likely, the words they had just exchanged were from the books that Li Yannian had gotten from the gods.

He didn’t know how to help, so he could only wait quietly for Li Yannian to reply.

“Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, maybe this month I won’t be able to go. Who knows, there are so many things at home, I’m not free every day. He also wanted her to have time. Young miss, everyone needs to work hard in order to eat their fill.

Du Mumei cut him off in disbelief, “10 taels of gold would save me a lot of effort. “I don’t believe it, just wait and see. I’ll ask my parents later, they’ll definitely buy your script.”

Li Yannian laughed: “Sure, then I’ll wait for you to buy more and give me a better price. Ten taels of gold is all my friend’s, I can run errands for both of us, at least it’ll bring me some benefits, right?”

However, Du Mumei was not in a hurry to bid. She said reservedly, “If we can get the script, there will naturally be benefits for a middle-class man like you. You should first talk about this with your friend, of course, it would be better if we could invite some people to the Bookstore to discuss it in detail.”

Li Yannian did not plan to continue talking to her like she was talking to a ghost wall. She smiled but did not say anything, her head lowered as she focused on eating her porridge.

After breakfast, the injured one was heavier than Du Mumei, but the driver, who did not have much feeling of existence, insisted that he was much better now. After a night of rest and recuperation, he was determined to return to the Clear Water Town with Black Bean.

Black Bean advised the driver. It wasn’t that the shop was temporarily short of a person, but it was fine for him to drive the ox-cart to the Du Jia Village to take his place. But the coachman wouldn’t agree.

Li Yannian looked at his pale face, then at Du Mumei’s arrogant and indifferent face, and sighed in her heart. No matter who it was, watching people’s faces eat and drink, their days would always have their own difficult points.

This time, when the carriage was overturned, the coachman would inevitably be punished. At this moment, he was still covering his head to go back and notify the Du Family that someone was coming to pick him up. Black Bean helped others out of the kindness of his heart, showing that he was willing to help. Li Yannian immediately pulled on his sleeves, signalling him to stop persuading him.

“Brother, I think it’s like this. After you send this uncle back to the Manor, quickly return to the town once he’s delivered. The shop is quiet for a while, but if we drag it out, First Uncle and the rest might not be able to get busy. ”

Black Bean thought that there was a way, he nodded his head and said to the driver: “I see, Uncle Du, since you are injured on the head, you should at least be careful, I will drive you there, and go there early, so as to prevent the family from being late, and will have to stay in the town for the night.”

Before the coachman could reply, Du Mumei opened her mouth and leisurely said, “You take the carriage. If he walked on two legs, how long would he have to walk for? My mother didn’t see me all night, so the commotion in the manor couldn’t be small. “Whether or not your family’s work can be maintained will depend on whether this letter is delivered fast or not.”

The driver’s face instantly turned even paler, he only had enough time to shout “Miss” at Du Mumei, and the latter impatiently waved her away, “Enough, stop acting. If I go back too late, even if I want to protect you, I can’t avoid my mother.

No one needed to speak anymore. Black Bean quickly pulled the carriage driver and ran, looking as if he was the one who would lose his job.

After watching the ox-cart go into the distance, Li Yannian turned around and closed the door. She suddenly saw Du Mumei with a slightly cold and mocking gaze, and was actually shocked in her heart. In just two short days, this young miss had changed too many expressions in front of him. Li Yannian really could not understand her.

Du Mumei did not say anything. Li Yannian still had matters to attend to so he did not have the time to entertain her. She nodded at her, then pointed to the sofa in the living room: “If Miss Du is tired, sit down and rest.”

As he spoke, he began to walk towards the kitchen. Du Mumei immediately followed along. Seeing Li Yannian carrying the water back to the backyard, she also followed along.

Li Yannian thought it was funny, the young miss must have been bored and panicked, why did she have to follow him even when she went to the backyard to water? She didn’t take it to heart, and carefully sprinkled the vegetable patch with the ladle. When she turned around, she saw that Zhao Xu had ran into the inside of the courtyard at some point, and Du Mumei was standing beside him, chattering away.

The sun wasn’t poisonous in May, so Zhao Xu treated it as adding calcium when he came out to bask in the sunlight. Li Yannian did not care about them, turned and walked out of the courtyard, and started to tidy up the rooms.

When she finished wiping the table and chairs, she turned around and saw Zhao Xu and Du Mumei chasing after her, both of them looking like ghosts. Furthermore, for the first time ever, Zhao Xu’s face revealed an expression of slight annoyance.

Li Yannian felt some sympathy for Zhao Xu who was being pestered by Du Mumei, so she smiled and waved at him.

Zhao Xu walked over obediently. His eyes were misty, and when he focused on the people around him, even a fake child like Li Yannian couldn’t help but feel her heart thump twice.

“Why aren’t you practicing with Mao Dou today?” “Mao Dou, you can’t look anymore without me. Let’s go upstairs. I’ll call you for lunch later.” ”

Li Yannian knew that he could understand the word “upstairs”. Seeing that Du Mumei was about to follow Zhao Xu up to the second floor, she immediately stopped her.

“Miss Du, what do you want to eat in the afternoon? If it’s something that can be bought, then I’ll get someone else to buy it earlier as well. ”

Du Mumei scoffed, “In your crappy place, where can you go to get the Winged Abdomen if I want it? I know you don’t want me to follow him upstairs. But I just wanted to ask you, who is this person? It’s not like people like you have relatives. ”

Li Yannian thought, I was just afraid that you would skin me alive, so it would be hard to say it out loud, so I just smiled and said, “Left or right, it’s also not related to you. As for the population, I don’t need to report them to you one by one. As for the Pteryx, as long as you pay, it’s not like you won’t be able to find it. At night, your family will come to pick you up, right? If you really want to eat it, then I’ll lend you some silver and arrange it for you. It’s not impossible. ”

Du Mumei once again felt a stifling sensation in her heart from Li Yannian. She was originally only casually ridiculing him, but this time, it was true as she sneered: “Such big words. In that case, you just have to go and arrange it, and I’ll make some money with you in the future. For lunch, I did not think about anything else. Ginseng and chicken soup for nourishment, green onions and sea cucumbers for a plate of rice, abalone for any of three or five, at least Abalone s, no matter how young I was, I had never eaten them since I was young. My mother said that the Abalone are picky and picky, but I don’t want to make things difficult for you, so I had to make myself feel wronged. As for dessert, I don’t like it when I have a cup of sugar in my bird’s nest and there’s less sugar in it. Do you hear me? ”

Li Yannian purposely revealed a difficult expression: “Then I’ll go ask someone else …”

Du Mumei chuckled and said, “Alright, go ahead and ask. I can make lunch, and I won’t bully you, but five taels of gold is enough. “If it doesn’t work, I don’t want anything else from you. Kneel down and call me grandaunt three times.”

Li Yannian thought that with five taels of gold, even if she kneeled now, she would still kneel. But since the gambling house has been opened, haha, then I am really sorry. This young miss of the Du Family is probably going to fall over in anger again.

“Just shout!” However, if you lose, don’t go back on your words. ”

Du Mumei cried out, “I can still go back on your word. I’m afraid you’ll go back on my word! Fine, we can write it down in black and white, right? ”

Li Yannian was waiting for her words, waiting for the pen and ink to write the terms for Du Mumei, then pressed down the finger marks on each of them, causing the little demon in her heart to instantly reveal a proud smile.
