When he got up early to go to school, Li Zihan had already told Tang Xiaowan that today was a special day. His brother Li Zishen couldn't eat or even touch snacks. At most, he would drink a few cups of chrysanthemum tea.
However, this man had to cook himself in the evening.
Tang Xiaowan looked out the window, lost in thought, and felt a little touched in her heart.
Is it possible that you can watch me eat it when it’s ready?
There is nothing in Liyuan, why should I buy it?
Ingredients that are hand-selected appear to be sincere and are more likely to impress me. This guy can’t be so well-intentioned, right?
Hey, in fact, he is also quite good, although he is as smart and alert as an old fox and is not easy to see through.
But this feeling was fleeting. After taking a sneak peek at Li Zishen, Tang Xiaowan recalled being under house arrest, being monitored, being located, and the special scent of medicine when Meiyuan was attacked.
Red roses lose their fragrance instantly!
She touched the bridge of her tall nose, but glanced at the co-pilot: "Oh, it's so heavy to hold. Let's put it on the seat first."
The voice is sweet and soft.
"give it to me."
Li Zishen intercepted the red rose halfway, holding it tightly with his strong hands, and his bright phoenix eyes suddenly lowered slightly, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Tang Xiaowan: "..."
Tsk, what are you doing? Seriously, why do you have to cross your fingers in everything I do? Are you used to managing people in the company?
Hey, why do you have to pay so much attention to me?
In fact, ever since Tang Xiaowan moved into Liyuan, various little romances have never stopped.
Aside from the frequent delivery of clothes, shoes, and bags every three days, the flowers in the vases in the rest area on the second floor will be changed regularly every morning.
Tang Xiaowan remembered all these things.
But while she was moved, she also recorded every expense in her little notebook, planning to pay it back in full one day.
"Brother Shen, we're here."
As soon as Chen Xin finished speaking, Li Zishen stuffed the red rose back into Tang Xiaowan's arms: "Wait in the car and I'll be back soon, 20 minutes at most."
Immediately, the car door opened and the man left.
Tang Xiaowan: "?"
She thought the man was going to take her shopping with him.
Tang Xiaowan clung to the car window, looking at the retreating figures of Li Zishen and Chen Xin, feeling an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart.
It's really annoying. Why don't you take me for a walk?
Angry because I wanted to throw the rose into the passenger seat?
Tsk, it turns out you are a narrow-minded person!
After Tang Xiaowan finished speaking, she burst out laughing and rubbed her nose against the glass, as if she had discovered a new world, she was very proud.
She didn't expect that Li Zishen would care about such a trivial matter with her when he was childish.
…
Nanjiang Villa.
Wu Ma was in the bedroom, carefully wiping the solid wood box with relief craftsmanship.
"Miss Yi, if you are still alive, you should be 45 years old. Maybe you have several children. Don't blame me. I'm just a servant. I can't help it."
Wu Ma picked up a cup of chrysanthemum tea and drank it in one gulp.
Big tears flowed down her cheeks.
"I remember that in the past, when Mr. Li was alive, he often talked about your love for drinking chrysanthemum tea, saying that it improved eyesight and relieved inflammation. You may not know, but your little hobby has affected my young master Zi Shen. Since the child was three years old, Since then, Mr. Li has let him have two cups of chrysanthemum tea every day. Now Master Zishen is 25 years old. You see, how fast time flies."
She is sixty years old, with gray hair and bulging veins. She gently wipes the wooden box with her hands. Although it is shiny, she always feels that it is not clean enough.
It wasn't until twenty minutes later that Wu Ma carefully put the box back into the drawer and locked it again.
She has been in Bieyuan for more than half her life, so she may not have learned anything else, but she already has a deep understanding of what expressions she uses in front of others and what words she says on any occasion.
When she leaves the bedroom, she is Mrs. Li's right-hand man and the respected Ma Wu by the servants, instead of the weak Wu Lifang who is at the mercy of rich people.
Under the reading glasses, there is a pair of bottomless eyes, and a silver hairpin in the shape of a peony is inserted into the gray hair bun. Against the background of the cyan printed cheongsam, the whole thing looks both gentle and capable.
"Wu Ma, the people in the kitchen said that the meal is ready, let's go over there?" a servant said with a smile.
She is responsible for cleaning the first floor.
Not old, about 20 years old.
With a smile on her face, Wu Ma helped the little girl smooth her messy bangs: "I won't go. I was greedy and ate a few snacks in the afternoon, and I'm still holding on."
"Oh, I'll go there first."
"Go quickly and eat more."
As usual, Mrs. Li had an early dinner and very little. She only had a bowl of millet porridge and a few mouthfuls of spinach before leaving the restaurant and going to the small garden to watch the chrysanthemums.
I really like the water chestnuts I brought from Meiyuan. I peel and eat one.
Wu’s mother was shocked by her skillful movements!
"Madam, have you ever eaten water chestnuts before?"
Mrs. Li suddenly stopped and replied thoughtfully: "Well, I think I have eaten it two or three times. I bought it from Zhenshan. It has been so long that I can't remember clearly."
After hearing this, Wu Ma frowned slightly.
Water chestnuts are something only found in the south. The roots of water chestnuts grow in the mud, but the water chestnuts grow in water.
Therefore, its growth characteristics determine that the planting climate prefers warm and humid climates and should not be too cold, such as ponds or swamps in the south.
Even in Jincheng, which is close to the south, it is rare and needs to be transported over Nanshan Mountain and transported from Qingcheng.
Mrs. Li is a native of the north, and her skills are so skillful that Wu Ma is really surprised.
Although it has been 25 years since Mrs. Li married into the Li family, in these 25 years, Wu Ma has never seen the person in charge of purchasing buy water chestnuts, let alone eat them.
"Wu Ma, what's wrong?"
After coming back to her senses, Wu Ma smiled slightly, quickly picked up a water chestnut, and helped Mrs. Li peel it off: "It turns out that Mr. Li bought it for you. It's very kind to you."
Mrs. Li sighed softly: "Maybe."
Wu Ma did not answer the question. In her memory, the late Li Zhenshan hated water chestnuts.
"From today on, no one is allowed to buy water chestnuts, let alone eat water chestnuts under my nose, otherwise I will get out of the garden."
Mother Wu still remembers these words from 26 years ago.
That day was Li Zhenshan's 18th birthday, but he got very angry.
I don’t know which naughty child put four water chestnuts into the melon seeds, causing Miss Yi to prick her finger and bleed a lot.
That was her first time in Bieyuan.
Her long hair reaches past her shoulders, and her skin is as white as cream. She looks like a fairy coming out of a palace painting, gentle and beautiful.
"Zhenshan, I am too careless..."
"Sit down quickly and get some medicine. Don't get infected. It must be very painful after bleeding so much."
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all."
Wu Ma stood quietly holding the medicine box, not daring to say a word.
Li Zhenshan's temper is notoriously violent.
