"That's right." Li Can was amused by his blushing, and deliberately teased him: "Brother Chen, can you do it?"
Chen Nianli's face turned even redder: "I used to do this when I was a kid, but I don't know if it can still be done now."
"You knew it when you were a child?" Li Can looked at him with wide eyes: "Really?"
She was just joking and didn't expect Chen Nianli to really know how to do it.
In her opinion, Chen Nianli, a cautious and polite person, must have been very well-behaved when he was a child, so he could actually go into the water to catch fish?
"I grew up on Zhuangzi when I was a child. I played with the children, climbed trees and went into water." Chen Nianli smiled and replied in a low voice.
"That's it." Li Can waved the cut branch in his hand: "Then do you want to try pricking it?"
"Okay." Chen Nianli nodded.
He agreed and was suddenly shocked. He was a scholar and shouldn't be so playful.
But when Li Can opened his mouth, he somehow managed to agree.
He told himself in his heart that he would not do this next time. The most important thing for him right now was to study hard and get a good reputation so that he could stand out in the future and be on par with Li Can...
Of course, this last matter was something he didn't dare to think deeply about.
"Let's go to my yard." Li Can greeted him with a smile and left first.
She had already prepared a lot of small crucian carp in the large water tank in the yard, just for practice.
"Is this sharp enough?"
Standing by the water tank, Li Can showed the tip of the branch to Chen Nianli.
"Okay, let me try." Chen Nianli took the branch.
Seeing that he was calm and calm, Li Can couldn't help but hold his breath. When he caught a glimpse of his handsome profile, he couldn't help but be startled. Chen Nianli was really fair, and his facial features were also exquisite. He looked not much inferior to Zhao Zhi.
"puff!"
The branch in Chen Nianli's hand was submerged into the water. When he lifted it up again, it was empty.
Li Can laughed: "Brother Chen, I didn't get hit!"
Chen Nianli blushed and turned his head to look at her.
"Brother Chen must have not caught fish for a long time, so his hand is raw. Don't worry, try again." Li Can pointed to the water, smiled and opened his mouth to help him out.
Chen Nianli looked at her smile and felt a little dazed for a moment. It was a smile that came from the bottom of his heart. Her little face showed a faint halo in the sun. She looked more and more pure and flawless, and her black eyes curved into crescent moons were clear.
To be clear, there is no sarcasm at all.
Seeing such a smile, the embarrassment in his heart instantly dissipated, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"I haven't done anything for many years. Let me try again." He held the branch tightly.
"puff!"
This time, there was a small flapping fish stuck on the top of the branch.
"Wow, brother Chen is so awesome!" Li Can clapped his hands repeatedly and looked at him with bright eyes: "I have been practicing for a long time but you can hit it right away! It's really amazing!"
Chen Nianli felt a little embarrassed when she praised her: "Actually, there is a way to help the seventh girl catch fish faster."
"What method?" Li Can naturally asked.
"Let me use the dagger." Chen Nianli looked at the branch in his hand.
Li Can gestured to Tang Cake.
Tang Cake handed over the dagger.
Chen Nianli cut open the sharp end of the branch and divided it into eight petals. Each end was shaved thin and sharp.
"You can try it." Chen Nianli handed the branch to Li Can.
"This should be enough." Li Can held the branch with confidence.
Why didn't I think that it could be cut like this before? If you spread it out like this, you will always end up with a blind cat and a dead mouse.
"Boom!"
She used too much force and hit the edge of the water tank.
Tang Qiu was the first one to burst out laughing. Everyone said that girls are smart, but there are some who are not good at it. In terms of martial arts talent, she is much better than the girl!
Someone laughed, and everyone else laughed too.
Chen Nianli also showed a slight smile: "Miss Qi, don't be anxious, take your time."
"Don't laugh, you're not ready just now. Let me tie one for you to see." Li Can rolled up his sleeves and stared at the water tank.
The water tank returned to calm, and the little fish that had just sunk slowly floated up again.
Li Can chose a corner with many small fish and poked a branch straight into it.
She slowly raised her hand, and all the maids gathered around and stretched their necks to look.
"Pap-ta-ta-ta-"
Two small fish perched on the branches and swung their tails.
"I got it! There are still two!" Li Can held up the branch and pointed it at the candy ball proudly: "See, let you laugh at me again."
"The girl is so awesome! I'm a slave and shouldn't laugh at girls." Tangqiu praised her with a smile.
"Of course." Li Can stretched out the fish in front of her: "Take it off, I want to play and go to the East Palace later."
I'll go and show it to Zhao Zhen later, huh.
"Girl, the great master sent someone to send sand oranges back to the girl from the Southland."
There was a boy saluting at the entrance of the courtyard, holding a bamboo basket in his hand.
"Bring it in." Li Can ordered and then asked, "Do you have a letter from home?"
"Yes, the family letter has been sent to the eldest lady." The boy returned.
"I know." Li Can waved his hand: "Go ahead."
Candy carried the basket to Li Can.
Li Can raised his hand to lift the cover on the basket, took out a sand orange and handed it to Chen Nianli: "Brother Chen, here it is."
"I won't eat it, Miss Seven, please eat it." Chen Nianli waved his hands repeatedly.
"But you want me to peel it off for you?" Li Can asked him, fluttering her long eyelashes.
"No, no need." Chen Nianli was afraid that she would really peel it off, so he hurriedly took it.
Li Can peeled off one by himself, and after a while he peeled off a clean piece, put it in his mouth, curled his eyes and smiled: "Sweet."
"Miss Seven, let's eat. I'll go to the tribe to study first." Chen Nianli saluted her.
"Take some and eat them on the way." Li Can quickly gave him some small oranges.
Chen Nianli couldn't refuse, so he had to thank him and take it.
Li Can ordered some sand oranges to be packed and kept for later when he went to the East Palace. He also asked someone to give some to his grandmother and aunt, and then he grabbed the branches and continued playing.
In the past, if there were any rare and good things, she would give some to the He family and sisters Li Xiangnan. After knowing their true identities, she never gave them anything again.
This is so good, there is no need to give out good things anymore.
＊
Chen Nianli had just left Luming Courtyard, and not far away, someone ran out of the diagonal thorn.
Chen Nianli paused at his feet.
Li Lainan stared at him with red eyes, her pretty face full of resentment and grievance.
"Fifth girl." Chen Nianli asked her to block the way, bowed slightly and bowed, then walked around her.
"Chen Nianli, stop!" Li Lainan shouted.
"Is something wrong, Miss Five?" Chen Nianli turned around and frowned slightly.
"Did you just go to accompany Li Can again?" Li Lainan stepped forward and asked.
"What does it have to do with Miss Five?" Chen Nianli frowned even more.
"What did Li Can give you?" Li Lainan stepped forward and grabbed him, rummaging through his sleeves: "Is it Sand Orange? Don't think I didn't see it. You two are so affectionate and laugh so happily!"
She deliberately waited to meet Chen Nianli in the garden and wanted to go to ethnic studies with him, but she unexpectedly bumped into the scene where Chen Nianli was getting along with Li Can.
When Chen Nianli was with Li Can, he was smiling, shy, and gentle. Compared with when he was with her, they were completely different.
How is she inferior to Li Can? Is Chen Nianli going to treat her like this?
She felt sour, jealous, and a hundred dissatisfied.
"Fifth girl, men and women are not allowed to be intimate, please respect yourself!" Chen Nianli backed away repeatedly, and the words in his mouth could not be said to be unimportant.
But Li Lainan didn't care at all and took out all the oranges in his sleeve pocket and threw them to the ground.
"Chen Nianli, you are ungrateful. He said that if I hadn't mentioned Li Can in front of you, it's not certain whether you mother and son would have been able to enter this house!" Li Lainan was very angry and brought up the past: "Now that you have come in, stay
Now that I'm down, my wings have hardened, so treat me like this!"
"I haven't done anything to the fifth girl, and I ask the fifth girl to be careful with what I say." Chen Nianli told her that she was very angry, and the disgust in his eyes could hardly be hidden. However, he had a good temper and believed that he was a man and did not have the same experience as the girl: "
From now on, if nothing happens, please don’t look for me, Miss Five."
He just said that, hummed softly, and walked away.
Li Lainan stood there, watching his leaving figure, stood for a moment, squatted on the ground and cried.
"Girl..." Ashuang, the personal maid, wanted to speak out to persuade her, but she was afraid that she would be scolded if she said the wrong thing, so she stood aside and hesitated.
"Girl, let's go back." Arling was a little bolder and stepped forward to help Li Lainan.
"Why go back? I want to see what Li Can's little bitch can do!" Li Lainan stood up suddenly, threw her away, and headed towards Lumingyuan angrily.
A Ling and A Shuang looked at each other. No one dared to persuade them, so they had no choice but to follow them with a few maids.
＊
Li Can was in the yard, and after playing for a while, a maid came to report that Li Lainan had blocked Chen Nianli's way in the garden, and the two were entangled.
"Girl, what I said last time was right. The fifth girl is unusual for Master Chen." Cantang rolled her eyes and said with a smile.
"Don't say such nonsense in front of the girl." Tanggao gave her a warning look.
"What's wrong with me telling the truth?" Candy pouted, a little unhappy: "It's not too much."
Let’s talk about sugar cakes again.
"I know." Li Lainan spoke first: "Maybe it's because the Chen family brother is so good-looking that the fifth sister charmed him?"
Just like her, she could be in a daze for a long time just looking at Zhao Zhen's side face. She could probably guess that Li Lainan often pestered Chen Nianli because he admired Chen Nianli.
Chen Nianli's character is pretty good, but how could her good mother agree to this?
Not to mention that Chen Nianli's family is now poor. Even if he were to go to high school, Mrs. He would not agree. After all, Chen Nianli was alone and had no one to rely on in the court. How could Mr. He trust his precious daughter to such a family?
"That's about it." Tangtang saw that his idea was recognized by the girl, and he couldn't help but proudly raised his chin towards Tangtang.
Tang Cake glared at her angrily.
"Li Can, get out of here!" Li Lainan rushed into Luming Courtyard angrily.
Li Can turned around, her delicate and delicate face full of surprise, and asked her in a soft voice: "Fifth sister, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?"
She knew that the softer she was at this time, the angrier Li Lainan would be.
It's been too long since I've been able to take care of mother and daughter. I just have free time today, so let's take care of it.
As long as Li Lainan is so angry that he loses all reason, she can take the opportunity to deal with Li Lainan.
Tang Qiu took a lunge from the side and stood in front of Li Can.
Li Can pulled away from her and looked at Li Lainan with a smile. Tang Qiu blocked her and the good show could not be performed.
"You can still laugh? You shameless thing!" Li Lainan pointed at her and yelled: "You brought your man to your yard early in the morning. What kind of ecstasy soup did you give him? He actually treated you like that.
I!"
Although Chen Nianli was not close to her on weekdays, he was still polite.
Today, he was very rude and walked away with his sleeves rolled up. She could never forget the look of disgust when he left.
Of course, she placed the blame on Li Can.
In fact, she had been following the two of them just now and knew that Li Can didn't say anything.
But so what, she just wanted to vent her anger. Li Can was always easy to bully. She couldn't lose her temper at Chen Nianli, so why couldn't she deal with Li Can?
"What did Fifth Sister say?" Li Can looked at her in confusion: "Brother Chen just played with me to catch fish for a while. Fifth Sister, do you want to play? Come and join us!"
As she spoke, she pointed the branch towards Li Lainan and greeted her with a smile.
"You can still laugh!" Li Lainan grabbed the branch, raised his hand and threw it in front of her.
Li Can saw the opportunity and stretched out his foot.
She sighed in her heart. Li Lainan really couldn't hold up the wall with mud. She stood here and hit Li Lainan, but Li Lainan couldn't hit her and had to lift her feet by herself.
