Since it was a gift from Young Madam, Dali happily accepted it.
"Thank you, Young Madam! Young Madam, you're so nice! In the future, if there's anything you need, feel free to instruct Dali. Dali did not study much, but he had the strength to do hard work!”
Li Shishi covered her mouth and laughed. She had a good impression of this honest Dali.
At this moment, Li Shishi looked at Si Zhou curiously and was very surprised."Are there only the two of you here? Is there no one else?"
Dali shook his head." No, just me and Young Master!"”
"Why didn't you hire someone to look after such a big yard?" Li Shishi was even more surprised.”
Why didn't he hire someone to look after him?
Of course, it was to make it easier for him to run away. He was too lazy to spend money!
Just as Lin Beifan was about to find an excuse, Dali replied,""Young Madam, Young Master said that we are both men. We can take care of ourselves. There's no need to hire anyone!”
"You're not inviting anyone?" Li Shishi was even more shocked.”
How could he not invite people?
Officials were all busy with official business. If they didn't hire people, would they be able to handle it?
Moreover, some people of status had to pay attention to appearances, especially officials.
Even a small ninth-grade official would hire a few people to make a scene, take care of his daily life, receive guests, and so on. Otherwise, others would look down on him.
Besides, you've already been greedy for so much money. What's the big deal in taking out a little money to hire someone?
However, after thinking about it, he did not ask.
This was because the two of them weren't familiar with each other yet. Would it be annoying to break the pot and ask?
At this moment, Lin Beifan took out some silver and said,""Dali, it's rare for someone to come home. Go buy some good wine and food!”
"Alright, Young Master. I'll go buy it right after I put down the clothes!”Dali took the money and ran away.
Only Lin Beifan, Li Shishi, and Xiao Cui were left.
Li Shishi pondered for a moment and smiled,""Sir, can you bring me around?”
"Of course!" Lin Beifan nodded.
Then, Lin Beifan brought Li Shishi around.
Along the way, Exemplary Lee realized that there was no one else here, and there didn't seem to be anything valuable.
The only commendable thing was that the courtyard was clean and tidy.
Because the courtyard was large and there were few people, the environment was very quiet.
This made her curious about Lin Beifan.
It was rumored that Lin Beifan was a corrupt official. He had embezzled a huge sum of money as soon as he became the top scholar. He even dared to take the money of the censor. It could be said that he was insatiable and had no respect for the law.
But now, it didn't seem like it at all!
Which corrupt official wouldn't enjoy himself after taking money?
He couldn't even be bothered to invite servants!
He didn't look like an official at all!
Compared to the other officials, it could be said to be very shabby!
At this moment, Lin Beifan had already led them to an elegant room and said,""Miss Shishi, this is your room! It used to be the residence of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the wife of the Left Prime Minister Quan. I've already asked Dali to tidy it up. You can move in!”
"Thank you, my lord!" Li Shishi bowed slightly.
"And Xiao Cui, your room is next door!”Lin Beifan said.
"Thank you, my lord!" Xiao Cui beamed with joy.
"You guys take care of it first. If there are any problems, come and find me!”
"Master has already made thorough arrangements. How could I trouble you with such a small matter?" Li Shishi shook her head.”
"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first! I'll call you for dinner!"
Li Shishi looked at Lin Beifan's departing figure with a complicated look in her eyes.
It was dinner time soon.
There were two tables. Lin Beifan and Li Shishi sat at one table, while Dali and Xiao Cui sat at the other.
There was good wine and dishes on the table. There were chicken, duck, fish, and some seasonal vegetables. The wine was top-grade rice wine.
However, when she saw the dishes on the table, she was stunned.
Because it was far from what she usually ate.
She usually ate chicken, duck, fish, and other meat, but she only ate the most essential parts. The plate was very exquisite, and there was plenty of dipping sauce. Just one look was enough to fill one's appetite.
Unlike now, when a pot was served, there was no dipping sauce, and some meat had not been cleaned yet.
The wine that he usually drank was of the highest quality. It was crystal clear and sweet, leaving a lingering aftertaste.
Unlike this rice wine, which was a little turbid and bitter.
Li Shishi put down her bowl and chopsticks and asked,""Sir, do you usually eat this?”
Lin Beifan shook his head.”
"I knew it!" Li Shishi secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Usually, I can't even afford to eat meat, let alone drink wine! It was also because he was now an official and had a salary that he could eat better! In addition, you guys are here, so today's food is more extravagant!”Lin Beifan smiled.
Looking at Lin Beifan's pure and innocent smile, Li Shishi was in a daze.
At this moment, Dali, who was munching on meat, nodded and said vaguely,""Yes, in the past, Young Master and I relied on each other and were used to living a hard life. It's already good enough to eat meat once a month! Unlike now, where there was meat for every meal! It was the first time he had such a rich experience! That's why I said that studying has a future! Hehe!"
Li Shishi was even more dazed.
If it was possible for Lin Beifan to lie, then it was unlikely for Dali. This was because this person looked silly and dazed. He couldn't hide anything and couldn't act so truthfully.
Li Shishi fell into deep thought. It was understandable that she had not had a good life in the past, so she ate almost nothing.
But now, you've already been greedy for so much money. Why are you still suffering?
Where did you use the money you stole?
