Chapter 9
"Happy, happy!"

A large pot of light salt water was drank by Jiang Li in one gulp, and he felt that his whole body was transparent, and he couldn't tell how smooth and happy he was.

Although nine-breath convincing can instantly repair physical damage, it cannot replace drinking water and food.

A martial artist tempers his body, and his sweat keeps evaporating. If it is not replenished in time, it can be fatal.

"Chuchu, you really don't have to worry, I'm not sad or depressed now, on the contrary, I'm happier and more practical than every day before!"

Jiang Li put down the kettle, pinched Chu Chu's face, and said ferociously: "Also, young master is very hungry now, if you don't fill up any more rice, be careful that I will eat you in one bite!"

"Chu Chu is not delicious, it's thin and small, the chicken has been stewed in a casserole for an hour, I'll serve it to you!"

Chuchu broke into a smile, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and quickly turned around to prepare lunch.

"The little girl is very thoughtful."

Just as Jiang Li walked back to the room, he couldn't help smiling knowingly when he saw the warm water for washing and changing clothes that Chuchu had prepared for him.

If it weren't for his difficult situation, the eldest lady would always regard him as a thorn in her side, Jiang Li actually liked this kind of life very much.

It has its own courtyard.

There is a little maid who cares sincerely and serves tenderly.

There is no need to worry about expensive houses and bride price, let alone worry about running away halfway.

Compared with the impetuous and materialistic world of the previous life, this place may be more suitable for him.

It's a pity that there are always people who don't want him to be stable and peaceful.

In the past few days, he stayed behind closed doors, but the maids in Da Furen's courtyard came to his door to inquire about news from Tie Ba and Tie Jiu more and more frequently.

The tree wants to be calm and the wind does not stop.

It's just that until the end, no one knows whether the wind is more violent or the tree is stronger!

Jiang Li took off his shirt, revealing his increasingly muscular body. Although he had only practiced martial arts for a few days, his body was not slow to become strong.

Scooping up warm water from the large wooden basin in front of him, Jiang Li washed off the sweat and dirt on his body, and changed into the dry clothes he had prepared earlier, feeling refreshed.

"My lord, let's eat!" Chu Chu also came in with dishes, which were neatly placed on the desk.

Jiang Li sat down, opened the casserole, and the delicious aroma came out. On the clear soup, there were golden-colored chicken soup oil beads, the chicken was tender and cooked, and the bone was fragrant, with a faint smell The medicinal fragrance of Codonopsis Astragalus.

Next to the casserole, there are two plates of green and tender vegetables, a small bowl of pickled vegetables and two bowls of rice.

On the second day after he taught Tie Ba and Tie Jiu a lesson, the two of them handed over 150 taels of silver they had collected overnight to Jiang Li.

Although these taels of silver were not enough to compensate for the money withheld from Jiang Li over the years, Jiang Li also knew that even if the two of them were killed, it would be difficult to get more compensation.

150 taels of silver is not much, but for Chuchu, it is an unprecedented huge amount of money.

The little maid put all these coins into the small wooden box under the bed, and sometimes Jiang Li could faintly hear the sound of counting the coins in the next room when he was sleeping.

Close your eyes, you can still think of the money fan with crooked brows and eyes.

Jiang Li asked Chu Chu to buy some beautiful dresses, but the little girl was reluctant to spend an extra copper coin for herself. The money was used to buy meat, herbs, and dishes to nourish Jiang Li's body.

"It's so fragrant and delicious!"

Chu Chu picked up a piece of chicken and impatiently put it into the small mouth of the cherry while blowing.

The chicken is tender and the soup is delicious.

The little servant girl frowned, and praised vigorously in a vague way: "Chu Chu's craftsmanship is great!"

"Jiang Li, come out quickly, the lady wants to see you!"

Jiang Li picked up the bowls and chopsticks, but before he could pick up some food, the gate of the small courtyard was pushed open, and three arrogant women in white fur coats strode in.

They are gorgeously dressed, with silk floral patterns embroidered on their dresses, and the white fur that covers their bodies is worth thousands of taels of silver.

"Xueliu, Misty Rain, and Siyun, three big girls condescend to come here at the same time, which is rare!"

Hearing the sound, Jiang Li put down his chopsticks and walked out of the hut. The person he recognized was the personal servant in the Da Furen's courtyard.

The eldest lady came from a prominent family in the south, the family's power was deeply rooted and powerful, and she overshadowed the sky with one hand in the Hou's mansion, and even the servants and maids around her were arrogant and their eyes were high above their heads.

The children of Jiang Shirong's concubines also had to be polite when they saw these slaves.

"Jiang Li, I haven't seen you for a while, but you're having a great time!"

The maid named Xueliu frowned slightly, she smelled the fragrance wafting from the small courtyard, and covered her nose in disgust.

Only low class people would eat this kind of vulgar food. What they ate in Qiluanxuan were bird's nest sea cucumber and fine rice noodles.

"Chu Chu, help your young master get dressed quickly, the eldest lady doesn't want to see him looking so poor and destitute!"

Misty Rain was holding a red sandalwood tray, on which was neatly stacked a soft silk Confucian gown.

Jiang Li glanced at the Confucian robe, his eyes flickered, but he didn't speak.

This piece of Confucianism and Taoism was a reward given to him by the cultural envoy of the Confucian Temple for being No. 1 in the courtyard examination, but it was taken away by the eldest lady as soon as he returned to the mansion.

Jiang Lifang can only wear it during festivals or when important guests come to visit, so as not to lose the face of the Hou Mansion by wearing shabby clothes.

"boy"

Chu Chu hurried over to take the wooden plate, and looked at Jiang Li worriedly.

Every time the eldest lady summons Jiang Li, nothing good will happen.

"You obediently eat in your room, and I'll come back as soon as I go!"

Jiang Li smiled reassuringly. He looked at the impatient faces of Xueliu, Misty Rain, and Siyun, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't go back to the room. Instead, he untied his robe in the courtyard and changed in public.

"Jiang Li, what are you doing!"

The three women were all startled when they saw this, they turned their heads away quickly, angry, anxious and ashamed, they kept saying polite scum and shameless words in their mouths.

Jiang Li didn't care. In his previous life, although it was indecent for a man to show his upper body, it was very common.

What's more, this is his own courtyard, where he changes clothes, he does not need to seek anyone's consent and permission.

On the other hand, Xueliu, Yanyu, and Shiyun ignored the distinction of superiority and inferiority, and directly broke into his courtyard, yelling, bossing around, running counter to etiquette and rules, very rude.

In case he takes a bath in the courtyard, can he still be said to be a hooligan?
"I've changed, the three big girls will lead the way!"

Jiang Li put on his Confucian robe and said lightly.

"Leave after changing, be careful of the impatience of Da Furen, I will punish you severely!"

Xueliu, Yanyu, and Siyun turned around after hearing the words, and when they saw Jiang Li whose temperament had changed drastically, their eyes could not help but flicker.

Jiang Li is tall and tall, with temples cut like knives and eyebrows painted in ink. Under the slanting sword eyebrows, black eyes are shining with stars, as if there is a sea of ​​stars.

The three women just glanced at it, and they felt like they were about to fall into it and couldn't extricate themselves.

"It's a pity to have a good skin!"

Siyun muttered to himself, in terms of appearance alone, among Jiang Shirong's dozens of heirs, none could match Jiang Li.

It's a pity that this is a world where strength is respected, not appearance is justice.

"Master Jiang Li, the three big girls go slowly!"

When Jiang Li walked out of the small courtyard, Tie Ba and Tie Jiu, who were guarding the door, couldn't help trembling when they saw Jiang Li, and quickly lowered their heads.

"Tie Ba, are you cold? You are a martial arts slave, you can't stand the cold?"

Yan Yu glanced at Tie Ba who was tightly wrapped around her head, and couldn't help asking.

"The little one felt the wind and cold for the first two days, and his ears are a little bit cold!" Tie Ba quickly replied.

"waste!"

A gust of cold wind hit, and Misty Rain tightened the leather clothes on his body, and drifted past. He turned his gaze back, and saw Jiang Li, who was wearing only a silk Confucian robe in front of him, but with a straight back and striding forward, was slightly surprised in his heart.

Although this bastard looks weak, he seems to be very hardy!
It is said that a good man's body is like a stove, and it is a blessing in life to be able to sleep with such a man in his arms during the long cold night.

Just, what a pity!
