Chapter 20020: Then she'll whisper in her ear again today.
Li Yue'er discovered that Su Rou had been writing her a course schedule for a long time, and her stepson Shi Yi had been waiting quietly outside for just as long.
It wasn't until Su Rou left the main hall that her stepson turned around and looked at her.
He didn't look at them, only at Su Rou.
Li Yue'er carefully put away the form and stood at the entrance of the main hall to offer a bow as she saw Su Rou out of the hospital.
Today is just the list of apprentices to be accepted; classes will begin tomorrow.
Su Rou nodded and smiled in return, then slowly stepped down the stairs, her elegant demeanor captivating all who looked at her.
Shi Yi lagged half a step behind Su Rou, and without even saying goodbye to Li Yue'er, turned and left with Su Rou.
Li Yue'er didn't react, but Dan Sha frowned slightly as she looked at Shi Yi's back. When she saw Li Yue'er looking over with a puzzled and curious expression, Dan Sha explained in a cold voice, "You are the mistress's person."
Regardless of whether Shi Yi is arrogant and aloof or genuinely lacks manners, he should not underestimate Li Yue'er.
Li Yue'er paused for a moment, then realized what was happening and smiled, "Maybe he's just shy and forgot."
It's also possible that they looked down on her awkward status.
Dansha didn't say anything more, but curtsied to Li Yue'er, "If Miss Yue'er has no other instructions, I will go and report back to the mistress."
The mistress kept her behind to watch Li Yue'er and Su Rou discuss the course arrangements. Now that Su Rou has left, Dan Sha can no longer follow Li Yue'er.
Li Yue'er nodded, "Go ahead, I'm just about to go back to the courtyard."
Dansha was going to the study in the middle courtyard, while Li Yue'er was going to the three-person room in the back courtyard; they were going in two different directions.
Once she had walked a distance, Li Yue'er looked around and, seeing that no one was around, couldn't help but secretly imitate Su Rou, learning how she moved with graceful steps.
Compared to the other girls in the alley, Li Yue'er always thought she was quite well-mannered and graceful. But after meeting Sister Su today, she realized that she was still far from being a true lady.
Li Yue'er couldn't help but look at her palms again.
When Sister Su picked up her pen to write, Li Yue'er noticed that her fingers were slender and her palms were clean and soft, unlike her, who had calluses and rough palms from years of hard work.
I don't know how the mistress, who is so picky and demanding, could tolerate her hands...
Li Yue'er blinked and touched her face with both hands; it was indeed a bit rough.
It seemed as if the mistress's hand was touching her body, with a slightly rough feel, but at that time she was trembling all over, feeling as if the mistress's fingers were setting fires everywhere, so she didn't have time to feel these things carefully.
Realizing she had gone astray, Li Yue'er quickly lowered her hand and coughed twice to quell the heat on her face.
"Moon".
Aunt Qiu was waiting for her a few steps away.
Li Yue'er's eyes lit up, and she lifted her dress and ran towards Aunt Qiu.
Today she wore a pomegranate red fitted long dress and her hair was styled in a single bun. Although she didn't have any hair ornaments, it was precisely this simple and elegant outfit that highlighted the vibrancy of her dress. The bright red dress also made Li Yue'er's skin look fair and rosy with a healthy complexion.
She's a grown woman now, but she's still the same as when she was a child.
Aunt Qiu's expression was gentle, but she pursed her lips to suppress the smile at the corner of her mouth. She took out two pieces of candy from her purse and handed them to Li Yue'er, deliberately saying in a deep voice, "Did you know that Aunt Qiu had candy in her hand, which is why you ran so fast?"
No, that's not true.
Li Yue'er's face flushed slightly, and she retorted, "I'm not Xing'er or Xiaoxiao."
Aunt Qiu laughed, "What's the difference between you and those two? You're all young girls."
She reached out and tucked a stray strand of hair behind Li Yue'er's ear, telling her the good news she had brought, "I went to your house this morning. Xing'er was in much better spirits. When she saw me, her eyes were bright, and she kept asking me how you were doing, holding my hand."
The candy in Li Yue'er's mouth tasted bitter despite its sweetness. "What about my mother?"
Aunt Qiu said, "She has lost some weight, but thankfully she is healthy."
Li Yue'er felt relieved and took Aunt Qiu's hand as if she were her mother's, saying, "Thank you."
Aunt Qiu, "Why are you being so polite with me? How have you been lately?"
Aunt Qiu subconsciously looked Li Yue'er up and down again.
Li Yue'er smiled, took a half step back, and turned around to show Aunt Qiu, "This is a new gift from the mistress."
Aunt Qiu nodded, "It's good, but it's a bit small. Logically speaking, the household should make winter clothes for the three of you."
Li Yue'er said, "I hinted at it to the mistress, but I don't know if she'll understand..."
She was so cold yesterday, if the mistress still doesn't understand, then she'll whisper in her ear again today.
Seeing that Li Yue'er spoke so lightly and optimistically, Aunt Qiu felt even more sorry for her. She reached out and patted her head, saying, "I'll have Brother Mu visit your family often, so don't worry."
Aunt Qiu couldn't help with anything else, so she could only do what Li Yue'er cared about most.
Li Yue'er exchanged a few words with Aunt Qiu and then returned to the courtyard.
She's moving to Songlan Hall in the next couple of days. She doesn't have much stuff, so she doesn't need to pack anything in advance. However, she needs to finish embroidering the purse she's working on as soon as possible so as not to affect her class tomorrow. As for whether she'll continue to take on such casual jobs in the future, Li Yue'er plans to wait and see.
As the weather gets colder, Meng Xiaoxiao and Xu Xinmei don't like to go out.
Meng Xiaoxiao wore several layers because her clothes were thin; she wore spring clothes over autumn clothes, one layer on top of the other.
She frowned deeply, sighed, and let out a long breath, "Sister Yue'er, it's getting cold, the wind is starting to bite."
Meng Xiaoxiao pulled out her small bundle, wishing she could wrap the bundle itself around her body.
Xu Xinmei laughed at her for being silly, "Didn't you get a few coins from the three taels of silver you earned selling yourself to buy clothes? Well, you were sold into slavery by human traffickers, so naturally those heartless people wouldn't give you any money."
Her eyes darted around, and she looked at Li Yue'er. "Li Wuliang, it's understandable that Meng Sanliang doesn't have any money, but why don't you have any? I heard that you were sold into this family by your own parents."
Li Yue'er knew Xu Xinmei was waiting for her there. "I don't need it, I have clothes to wear."
She deliberately puffed out her chest and raised her head to show off the good fabric she was wearing.
Xu Xinmei, "..."
Xu Xinmei: "What's there to be proud of? She's just a tool in the hands of the mistress."
If Li Yue'er hadn't known how naive Xu Xinmei was, she would have thought Xu Xinmei knew something.
"I really don't want to share a room with you." Xu Xinmei put down her comb, her head full of jewelry, and went out in her new winter clothes.
Li Yue'er looked at Meng Xiaoxiao.
Meng Xiaoxiao stared at her nice clothes, her tone thankful, "It's good that you have clothes to wear, otherwise it would be so cold going out to work every day."
Li Yue'er's heart softened. "Actually, I don't wear clothes when I'm doing things."
Meng Xiaoxiao looked up blankly, "Huh?"
She's adorably silly.
Li Yue'er smiled and pinched her round face, assuring her, "In a few days you'll have thick new clothes to wear, and you won't have to wear these thin ones anymore."
Meng Xiaoxiao perked up, her big round eyes crinkling as she looked at Li Yue'er, "Okay!"
She didn't ask where the clothes came from, but trusted the person in front of her wholeheartedly, as if Li Yue'er's statement that she had clothes to wear meant she would definitely have clothes to wear.
Meng Xiaoxiao sat on the bed next to Li Yue'er, eating the candy her five-ounce sister had given her, and quietly watching her embroider.
Li Yue'er gently bit her lip and made up her mind. Tonight, she would pester the mistress to make Meng Xiaoxiao a winter outfit!
So, just as it got dark, Qu Rong had finished bathing and hadn't even left the bathroom when she heard that Li Yue'er had come over early on her own initiative.
Qu Rong, "..."
She couldn't have sex because of her period, yet Li Yue'er still came so eagerly; it could only be because she was greedy.
