Shen Lao Er smiled and said, "Yes, just some small ideas."
Madam Yang was equally astonished: "Second brother, how did you do that?"
Shen Lao Er explained, "I made the headboard a movable part, and installed a support bracket to support the weight of the bed and provide stable support when the bed is raised. The rocker arm is connected to the headboard by gears and has a buckle that can be locked when the rocker arm is stopped."
Yang and Liu were completely confused, but Lili understood.
Second Uncle, you're a professional!
"Second brother, your skills are amazing! You're even better than those master craftsmen!"
Shen Lao Er scratched his head: "Sister-in-law, you're joking. Are you looking for Li Bao? I'll be going now, you two chat."
Shen Lao Er huffed and puffed as he carried the small bed away. Liu Shi sighed for a while before pulling Li Li aside to talk about serious matters.
"Li Bao, do you know who this young master Gu is?"
Pear's eyes darted around as she pondered what to say.
Tell them this is His Highness the Crown Prince?
Isn't that a little scary?
However, Liu quickly answered her own question: "Never mind, I guess they're someone with a powerful background. The more I know, the worse it is. I'd better not say anything."
Lili laughed.
My aunt really knows a lot.
"Don't worry, Auntie, he's a good person!"
"Really?" After receiving another affirmation from Lili, Madam Liu felt much more at ease. "It makes sense. That prefect is really a scoundrel. We common people are already suffering so much, yet he still tries to find ways to exploit us. The fact that this young master is thinking of this shows that he can't be too bad a person."
Lili asked thoughtfully, "Has Uncle made up his mind?"
Mrs. Liu nodded: "Yes, he said he's decided to give it a shot. If he succeeds, great; if he fails, it's okay. Anyway, our Li Bao said our family will be fine, right?"
Liu carefully observed her expression, trying to confirm whether Lili's statement that the Shen family was alright was true.
Lili smiled broadly and said without hesitation, "That's right!"
Both Yang and Liu breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's coming soon."
"What?" Liu asked.
“People,” Lili smiled.
The next morning, just as Chen and Shen Lao Er left to visit Chen's parents' home with Shen Jiawen and Shen Jialu, two uninvited guests arrived.
Lili was focused on feeding Houfu in the yard when a soft laugh came from behind her.
"Oh." A pair of black deerskin shoes appeared in Lili's line of sight.
Lili turned around and saw a person wearing a moon-white robe, the hem fluttering in the wind, the faint cloud patterns on it revealing the owner's elegant taste.
"It's mud."
Gu Ziyi smiled faintly as he looked at the little dumpling in her new clothes.
The pale yellow dress, its color resembling the first blooming forsythia, is delicate and bright, exuding the freshness and vitality of spring.
The skirt is embroidered with exquisite patterns, like the blooming flowers in a spring garden, delicate and vivid.
Just like this little dumpling, bright and lively.
"Long time no see." Gu Ziyi chuckled and ruffled Lili's hair.
Last time, Gu Ziyi angered Lili, and Lili had a lot of complaints about him.
But Lili wasn't one to hold grudges, and her anger had long since dissipated.
The most important thing is...
This little boy is the most handsome person he has ever seen in a long time!
Her face was fair, her features delicate, her eyebrows slanted upwards, and her eyes were as bright and deep as stars.
His nose was straight and firm, like a mountain range.
Her jet-black hair was tied up high and secured with a white jade hairpin. A few wisps of hair fluttered in the wind in front of her forehead. Her thin lips were upturned, holding a faint smile, making her look extremely gentle.
"Zongzhi, a handsome and dashing young man, raises his cup and rolls his eyes at the blue sky, as radiant as a jade tree standing in the wind." Lili was somewhat stunned and murmured involuntarily.
"You can recite poetry at such a young age?" Gu Ziyi laughed, her smile deepening, clearly pleased. "A compliment?"
Lili shook her head: "No, Lili just thinks you're good-looking!"
Gu Ziyi laughed heartily: "Really? It's an honor for me to have Lili like my appearance."
His words, however, left Lili completely bewildered.
Zhui Feng was terrified as he followed His Highness. He had been following His Highness for so long, but he had never seen His Highness so shameless.
Your Highness is now even playing with children; perhaps you're under too much pressure lately and have nowhere to release it?
Lili pouted, squatted down to continue feeding Houfu, and asked, "Is your cough almost better?"
Gu Ziyi also squatted down and gently patted Houfu's head: "That's about enough, Lili is concerned about me?"
Lili gave him a complicated look. This person clearly didn't have lung disease, so why would he risk his health to pretend to be sick?
But when she thought about his identity, Lili seemed to understand everything.
Lili sighed, "Your Highness, I know you have no choice, but there should be a limit. Don't really kill yourself."
Gu Ziyi was taken aback.
Zhui Feng was so frightened that he drew his sword: "How dare you! Who gave you permission to speak so recklessly!"
Just then, Shen Jialuo came out with a bowl of rice porridge: "Li Bao, I brought some rice porridge to feed Houfu!"
As soon as Shen Jialuo ran out, she saw two strange strangers in her yard. The older one was carrying a shiny sword.
The tip of the sword was actually pointing at Lili!
Shen Jialuo was so frightened that she dropped the bowl, spilling rice soup all over the floor. She stammered, "Who...who are you?!"
After saying that, he ran behind Lili with a look of grim determination and opened his arms wide: "You are not allowed to hurt my sister!"
Lili quickly stood up: "Brother!"
Gu Ziyi frowned, gave Zhuifeng a reproachful look, and said coldly, "Zhuifeng."
Zhui Feng hesitated for a moment, then sheathed his sword.
Lili herself wasn't scared. After several meetings, she had figured him out perfectly. Zhui Feng was highly skilled in martial arts, but his mind...
Well, I can only say that they are wholeheartedly protecting their master.
However, Shen Jialuo was clearly quite frightened. Seeing that Zhuifeng had sheathed his sword, he immediately pulled Lili a great distance away from the two of them, asking warily, "Libao, are you alright?"
Lili comforted him, "I'm fine, bro, they're not bad people."
"I'm sorry," Gu Ziyi said in a low voice, "I didn't keep a close eye on him."
Lili shook her head: "As long as I lose money, that's fine."
Gu Ziyi was taken aback, then burst into laughter.
Shen Jialuo's shout clearly alerted the rest of the Shen family. The first person to rush out was Old Lady Shen, followed closely by Madam Yang and Madam Liu.
"Libao, what's wrong?" Old Mrs. Shen rushed out and saw the two people in the yard. After a moment of surprise, she immediately reacted and shielded the two children behind her.
The courtyard gate was closed, and judging from the two men's clothes, they were clearly wealthy and powerful, and not ordinary people.
The younger one, with his back to them, hands clasped behind his back, was dressed in fine clothes and possessed an extraordinary air.
