Tianqing didn't follow in and closed the door from the outside.
Chen Li walked in, sat down at the desk, raised her eyebrows and looked at Pei Yu: "What book are you reading?"
Pei Yu didn't even frown, "Just take a look."
"Oh," Chen Li said with a playful smile, "Then you are quite amazing. You can even read a book backwards!"
Hearing her teasing, Pei Yu raised his eyebrows calmly.
The next second, the man calmly turned the book back and said, "Yeah, I think it's good to read it that way too."
Hearing this, I think it's quite normal, but the premise is that you have to ignore his red ears.
Chen Li couldn't help it, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. This man was really hypocritical and had a lot of tricks up his sleeve.
"Have you had your milk tea?"
Pei Yu closed the book and said, "Not yet, drink now."
I picked up the cup on the table and brought it to my lips and took a few sips. It tasted sweet, but since she made it, I liked it.
"not bad."
Then he drank it up one sip at a time. Chen Li took a sip and saw that Tianqing didn't scoop any honey beans for him. He probably didn't like it.
"By the way, what did you want to talk to me about?"
After he reminded her, Pei Yu remembered that he had something important to talk to her about, but he had indeed forgotten it just now.
"Well, I heard that your brother is going to take the entrance examination for Lushan Academy?"
"Um."
I nodded lazily. I wasn't surprised that he knew. After all, there was no need to hide this from others, so it wasn't surprising that he knew.
However, Chen Li suddenly remembered something and asked, "Do you have any shortcuts?"
Pei Yu laughed, "No, the entrance exam for Lushan Academy, held every five years, is very strict. Cheating is not allowed."
"At other times, admissions are not so strict, but there are thresholds."
"Well, Ajing has said this."
Pei Yu's originally bright mood suddenly turned bad again. A Jing, A Jing, he called her so intimately.
I couldn't help but think of how she always called me Master Pei or Pei Yu, why not A Yu or Zi'an!
A certain young master was so jealous that he was gushing out sour words. Only he knew how he felt.
"But there's no other way."
It’s true!
"Master Pei, can you tell me in detail?"
"Well, although cheating is prohibited, the examination papers from Lushan Academy in previous years have been leaked outside, and there are clues to follow."
After listening to this, Chen Li's eyes brightened up a bit. Although she believed in her third brother, there were many talented people in the Jiangnan region. It would be great if she could give him some special training!
"I've asked someone to collect it, and it will be delivered in the next two days."
After hearing this, Chen Li smiled suddenly. Her curved eyebrows and eyes made Pei Yu's heart beat faster. Even the two dimples on her lips were very obvious.
Chen Li fumbled with her fingers, suppressing the urge in her heart.
He was able to control his hands but couldn't control his heartbeat. He could feel that at that moment, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to burst out of his chest.
In this way, his eyes became more gentle and affectionate, and Chen Li couldn't help but be attracted, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became hot.
When I came back to my senses, my ears felt slightly hot, and I felt very annoyed. Why was I attracted to his beauty?
"Thanks."
Hearing his sincere thanks, Pei Yu nodded and chuckled, "You're welcome, it's just a small matter."
Although he said it was a small matter, Shen Li was not stupid enough to believe whatever he said. If that was the case, how could the Lu family, as the richest family, not collect it?
There must be some hidden secret in this, but since he didn't say it directly, I just pretended not to know. Anyway, he had already taken a lot of things from him, so at worst I wouldn't mention that request.
The main reason is that Master Pei gave too many things, and Chen Li would feel embarrassed.
"When are you leaving?"
Pei Yu thought for a moment and said, "It's snowing now, so it's inconvenient to travel. I'll take a boat to Yangzhou with Lu Jing and the others first, and then find a boat back from there."
Oh, so it’s only been two days.
"Okay, I'll be leaving first then."
There was an inexplicable feeling of heat in the room. After understanding the situation, Chen Li left and went to arrange for the servants she had bought today.
When he came to the yard, he saw the women standing in two rows. To save trouble, he called another man over.
Chen Li said calmly: "I didn't buy you back to be slaves. I want to open a shop. After a period of training, I will select some of you to work as shop assistants."
I found that after I finished speaking, the girls' expressions became a little panicked. After thinking about it for a while, I knew that they must have had some wrong ideas.
"Don't worry, this shop is a regular shop, similar to a pastry shop, but there are some differences, which you will know for yourself."
"Those chosen will receive a monthly stipend. As long as you work diligently and don't betray me, perhaps one day I will return your indentures to you."
The last sentence was like boiling water dripping into a frying pan, and everyone's expression changed instantly.
Although they have sold themselves into slavery now, if they can be freed from their status as servants, their descendants will no longer have to be slaves. Those who have the conditions can even send their men to take the imperial examinations, which is a good thing to bring honor to the family and change their status.
Feeling their eager gazes, Chen Li raised the corners of her lips slightly, "These are not empty promises to you, but you must remember that I hate betrayal the most. This is a taboo."
"Yes, miss."
After the knocking, Chen Li began to make arrangements and finally selected two people to be temporary managers.
"Qiuhua, Tonglu, you two will take charge of the management for the time being. Of course, I will replace you if a suitable person is found."
"Yes, miss."
Qiuhua and Tonglu felt the pressure instantly, especially the eager gazes around them, as if there were hungry wolves chasing them from behind.
This is exactly the effect Chen Li wanted. "Okay, do as I say."
These people's manners are impeccable, but let's put that aside for now and focus on other aspects.
After watching for a while, they left. If I stayed here, they would feel uncomfortable.
And don't underestimate these people. Although they are at the bottom of society, they are not stupid. Some of them are even very smart. They can understand things with just a little guidance and can apply what they have learned to other situations.
Chen Li pulled Bai Yao to talk about the store again. When she was almost done, she suddenly said, "Ayao, how about letting you manage my store?"
Bai Yao raised her butt and sat it down again. After Chen Li talked to her last time, she had thought a lot during this period of time, but she didn't know what to do next.
Her experience meant that she was destined not to be able to marry and have children like an ordinary woman.
"Ayao, a woman's life isn't just about getting married and having children. There are many other ways to live. She shouldn't be rejected as a good wife and mother."
