Chapter 111 This girl is really brave
Li Mulan's expression froze, and the people around her were trying to hold back their laughter, except Huo Yuanruo who laughed out loud.
"Hahahahahaha... Little grasshopper, you are really smart. This time, junior master has played a big trick on you. Do you know who it is?" Huo Yuanruo kept the secret.
The little grasshopper looked curious, "Who?"
Huo Yuanruo looked unfathomable and said, "Don't call me Yuanyuan anymore."
The little grasshopper ignored him and looked at his master, saying flatteringly, "Master, tell me, who is the unlucky one this time?"
Li Mulan coughed awkwardly, "Ahem, you are listening to Yuanyuan's nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense," Huo Yuanruo pulled the little grasshopper over unconvinced, "Let me tell you, this guy is not a nobody. Does the Assassin's Alliance know?"
"The Killer Alliance? Isn't that Long Yi's old boss? How did they offend the master?"
"Well, it's a long story. Anyway, they definitely didn't get anything good. The guy surnamed Lei was even beaten up by my master. He suffered a great loss."
The little grasshopper nodded with a stern look, "That's more like it. They deserved it for daring to go against their master. When Long Yi comes back, let him go to the assassin alliance's lair."
Li Mulan was speechless. All of them were just trying to save money. "Okay, didn't you say you were here to give me some money? Give it to me."
The little grasshopper blinked innocently, "Didn't the master just say that he had money? Then I won't give it to you this time. It just so happens that I have seen two good businesses that require investment in the early stages."
Li Mulan choked, "That seems to be my money, right?"
The little grasshopper said seriously, "It's the master's money, but the master doesn't know how to manage money, he just spends it, the little grasshopper has to earn more money back, this kind of investment is indispensable."
Li Xun rarely saw his niece being embarrassed, so he said with some amusement, "Lan'er is still doing business?"
Li Mulan shook her head. "I don't have time. It's all the fault of the little grasshopper. He is a natural businessman, but he is too stingy."
The little grasshopper looked at Li Xun with a smile, "Second Master, you don't know, my mistress is just a little lazy, but she has a good brain. Every time she gives some ideas, she can make a lot of money, but..." The little grasshopper showed a distressed expression, "She is really good at spending money. Alas, I can only work hard to make money."
"Oh? I just heard Lan'er say that you are from Jiangnan?"
"Yes, Jiangnan is a wealthy place, and it's easy to make money there. Now our business has grown to a considerable scale."
Huo Yuanruo snorted, "It's quite large. Let's see what you can do."
The little grasshopper immediately retorted, "That's right. I am now a big shot in Jiangnan. Everyone who sees me will call me Li the Great Shopkeeper."
Li Mulan laughed out loud, "Oh, Mr. Li, thank you for your hard work in making money for me. Keep up the good work and expand our business territory. I am just waiting for the day when I can lie down and rest."
The little grasshopper looked at his heartless master with some regret, "Master, please use your brain once in a while and find more ways for me to make money."
"Puchi," even Li Xi couldn't hold back this time, and then meeting Li Mulan's depressed eyes, he hurriedly explained, "Sister...sister, I'm not laughing at you, it's just that this little grasshopper is so funny."
Little Grasshopper looked at Li Xi's familiar face and felt particularly friendly. He was indeed the twin brother of the master. "It is an honor for Little Grasshopper that the young master finds me interesting." Then he took out a thick stack of banknotes from his arms. "You are the master's brother, and you are also half of Little Grasshopper's master. The master must have never given you a gift. You can keep this and buy anything you like. The master is generous and usually doesn't think of these things."
Everyone was stunned, especially Li Mulan, "You gave my silver quite easily."
"Hey, isn't that your brother? Are you still reluctant to let him go?"
"Then why didn't you give it to me when I asked you for it just now?"
"How can it be the same? The young master is obviously not the kind of person who squanders money, unlike you. If this money is in your hands, haha, I don't know how long it will last."
Li Mulan stopped talking, too lazy to speak, "I have a headache, I'd better go back and rest first." Then she looked at Qingyu, "Sister, call me for dinner."
Qingyu laughed, "Go ahead." Then he looked at Uncle Zhang and Little Grasshopper, "Uncle Zhang, you guys should go and have a rest too. You must be tired after all the journey."
Zhang Yi nodded, grabbed the collar of the little grasshopper who was trying to get close to Li Xi, said hello to Li Yi and others, and left.
Li Xi was stunned when he saw the silver bills that the little grasshopper had forced into his hand. He had never seen so many silver bills in his life.
Huo Yuanruo's eyes were full of envy, and he said in a sour tone, "This little grasshopper is very stingy. I have never received a single ounce of silver from him. He always cheats me. But he is generous to you."
Li Xi was a little at a loss, "This... this is so much silver, what should I do?"
Huo Yuanruo was confused, "What should I do? Spend me."
Li Xi turned to look at his own father, and Li Yi just smiled and said, "Your sister's money, just take it."
“But…but this is too much.”
Huo Yuanruo curled his lips. It was not a lot at all. It was just enough for him to buy a few pieces of clothes.
Li Xun gave him some advice, "If you don't know how to deal with it, just give it to your mother."
Li Xi immediately seemed to have found a way out, and trotted off to find Zhang. Huo Yuanruo looked at his back as he left, and shook his head helplessly, alas, he would still have to pay for meals in the future.
Li Mulan originally wanted to go back to her room, but happened to meet Chu Chenfeng and He Tian on the way. She was a little confused. How could He Tian get together with this person? No wonder she rarely saw him in the past two days.
Chu Chenfeng noticed the person coming at the first moment, "Miss Li, did you just come back from outside?"
Li Mulan smiled brightly at them, "It's Uncle Chu and Senior Brother He, how come you are together?"
He Tian found her eyes rolling around and found it a little funny, "We just happened to meet."
Li Mulan curled her lips, thinking that no one would believe it, but she didn't say anything.
Chu Chenfeng continued, "I have already discussed this with Li Taifu. We have to set out at the end of the morning hour tomorrow. We probably won't stop for the rest of the journey. I wonder if Miss Li has any other plans?"
"I don't have any plans. I've already prepared everything I need." Suddenly she thought of something and looked at Chu Chenfeng. "Uncle Chu, that's great. I have a question for you."
Chu Chenfeng raised his eyes, "Miss Li, please speak."
"Uncle Chu is the regent's man. Do you know that after my grandfather and his family return to Kyoto, will their previous property be returned? If not, how will such a large family live? My grandfather was wrongly accused in that incident and suffered so much in vain. The regent should make some response, right?"
The corner of He Tian's lips twitched. Wow, this girl is really brave. She asks for money so confidently.
