Chapter 242 Master, what do you think of this number?
Li Mingxia thought about it and gave a number.
"One tael of silver, sir, what do you think of this number?" Li Mingxia said with a smile.
When Mr. Li heard the price Li Mingxia quoted, his expression became even uglier.
Tomorrow is the fifth day that Li Mingxia's family stays in the old house. Two hundred coins a day, five days is one tael of silver. Li Mingxia may not care about this tael of silver, she just wants to annoy Old Madam Zheng!
This girl hates us so much, Old Master Li glanced at Li Mingxia calmly and thought silently.
"Master, if you think it's expensive, forget it. After all, I can't just fool around when entertaining two young masters. The money for the dishes and other things is all here." Seeing that Master Li didn't say anything, Li Mingxia added.
"One tael of silver is still expensive? Miss Li, if you are willing to let Brother Zhengde bring me a meal every day, I am willing to pay ten taels of silver every day." Xue Li said immediately.
Li Mingxia smiled faintly and said nothing, just looking at Mr. Li.
"It's not expensive. How could it be expensive? It's what I deserve." Mr. Li forced a smile, his tone still gentle.
"In that case, please go out and sit down first. The kitchen is too small to accommodate so many people." Li Mingxia felt much better after getting a satisfactory answer, and smiled at Xue Li.
Xue Li was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something, and his eyes moved back and forth between Mr. Li and Li Mingxia.
"Okay, then we'll go out first. I'll trouble Miss Li today." Xue Li glanced at Song Li who was motionless, and said in a good mood.
Song Li's attitude is very clear. No matter how nice you, Xue Li, say, as long as you don't leave, he will not leave no matter what.
"Let's all go out. Zhengde, don't go. I need you to buy something for me." Li Mingxia said with a smile.
When Song Li saw that Li Mingxia left Li Zhengde alone, he knew that she must want to find out about Xue Li, so he quickly winked at Li Zhengde.
Li Zhengde didn't want to pay attention to Song Li at first, but when he thought of Li Mingxia's surprised expression after seeing those gifts, he knew that the things Song Li gave were definitely not cheap. In addition, no matter what, Song Li's attitude towards his sister made Li Zhengde quite satisfied. So after thinking about it, Li Zhengde spoke up: "Sister, Mr. Song only knows me. If you want me to do something, let Brother Song Li be here if it won't delay. Otherwise, it will be awkward for him to be alone outside. Is that okay?"
Li Mingxia didn't see the little tricks of Li Zhengde and Song Li. After listening to his brother's words, he felt that it made sense and it didn't affect anything, so he agreed.
"It's nothing. If Mr. Song doesn't mind the heat here, you can stay here. It's just a small matter. You don't need to tell me. You can make the decision on your own." Li Mingxia said.
As Li Mingxia said this, he felt somewhat relieved that his younger brother now understood the ways of the world. It was true that people still had to go to school and study. Seeing and learning more was much more useful than his own lectures.
"Sister, they are all gone. Do you have anything to ask me?" Li Zhengde waited for a while and seeing that Li Mingxia didn't tell him to do anything, he moved closer and asked in a low voice while helping Li Mingxia pick vegetables.
Li Mingxia nodded and glanced at Song Li. Seeing that he was imitating Li Zhengde in learning how to pick vegetables, he asked, "What's wrong with Xue Li? When did you two become so close? I didn't know."
Li Mingxia naturally didn't really think that the relationship between Li Zhengde and Xue Li was developing rapidly. To be precise, after Li Zhengde returned home, the only person who took the initiative to mention Xue Li to him was Song Li. If Li Zhengde really affirmed Xue Li's character, he would not have failed to mention it to him. It seemed that the words just now were just polite words made up by Xue Li.
I just don’t know why Xue Li said that. This is exactly what Li Mingxia meant when he asked Li Zhengde.
"How can it be easy? If it was true, why didn't you tell your sister?" Li Zhengde said without raising his head.
Seeing this, Song Li seemed a little puzzled and asked casually: "Then why did Xue Li say that?"
Li Mingxia was also puzzled, but instinctively felt that this person had no good intentions.
"I know that the most taboo thing for you scholars is to say bad things about your classmates in front of others or behind their backs, so you don't have to say it. I'll just give you a few words of advice." Li Mingxia thought for a while and spoke.
If Song Li was not here, Li Zhengde was his own brother and he could say whatever he wanted. But now he had to lay the groundwork like this, and Li Mingxia felt it was too troublesome.
"Since I am so close to Brother Zhengde, Miss Mingxia doesn't have to treat me as an outsider. It would be boring if we were to be so polite when talking in private." Song Li said seriously.
I have to say that Song Li is quite good at chatting. With just a few words, all the annoyance in Li Mingxia's heart was smoothed out.
"Since Mr. Song has said so, it would be bad if I still hesitate." Li Mingxia smiled.
"That's how it should be." Song Li also smiled.
Li Zhengde looked at his sister talking and laughing with Song Li, and his heart moved. He didn't know whether he was happy or unhappy at the moment.
"I don't know what Xue Li's purpose is, but this person gives me a very uncomfortable feeling. You two are fine with each other on a daily basis, but if you want to get closer, forget it. I'm afraid that you two will be cheated by others and count money for them."
Since Li Mingxia had already opened his mouth, he didn't care anymore and just said it all out: "I won't hide it either. I don't like people like Li Zhengxue the most. This Xue Li stays with Li Zhengxue all day long. How can he be a good person?"
Li Zhengde and Song Li nodded in unison after hearing this: "Ms. Mingxia is indeed very insightful. It is true. I knew about Li Zhengxue before I even knew Brother Zhengde. But at that time, his knowledge was just okay. Although I didn't like him, I thought he was a very motivated student and I admired him. But now it seems that this is not the case. Li Zhengxue has long lost his diligence and ambition. In my opinion, he was led by Xue Li."
"It's true that 'Birds of a feather flock together'. It's not entirely true to say that it's all Xue Li's fault. Li Zhengxue himself is a lazy, vain and greedy person. Otherwise, it would be in vain no matter how Xue Li guides him." Li Zhengde raised his head and looked at Li Mingxia and said.
"Sister, do you think I'm right?"
