The little maid fell asleep in the rocking chair.
Although winter has not yet entered, but in the afternoon of autumn, when the sun is gradually slanting to the west, the weather is still a bit cold. Her thin body is curled up in a chair, her eyebrows are slightly frowned, and she may feel a little bit of coolness in her sleep .
Li Yi shook his head, took off his outer robe, and covered her body, Xiaohuan's frowning eyebrows gradually relaxed.
Through the arch between the inner and outer courtyards, one can see a graceful figure, and without going back to the room to change a robe, he walked to the arch and looked over.
The woman in white dances with the wind, her posture is graceful, looking from a distance, she seems to have a faint sense of being out of the world, just like the fairy in the cloud, she will go away with the wind in the next moment...
Li Yi had to admit that after these days, her Tai Chi was already more proficient than herself.
"My husband is back, have you eaten yet?" Liu Ruyi actually noticed Li Yi's appearance very early on, but she couldn't interrupt her practice. At this moment, after finishing her momentum, she turned around and said, "If there is no one, the concubine will go right away." Do."
Li Yi touched his stomach subconsciously. Because of his bad mood, he really didn't eat today.
"Sir, wait a moment, I will do it now."
Liu Ruyi already understood, she smiled and walked towards the kitchen.
It didn't take long for Li Yi to gobble up a bowl of noodles. He didn't realize just now that after Ruyi raised it, he felt unbearably hungry, and the bowl of noodles soon bottomed out.
"Xiaohuan washed Xianggong's official uniform just now. I'm afraid it will be dry tonight. Remember to bring it when you go down the mountain tomorrow.... Xianggong doesn't know how to use knives. I'm afraid you won't be able to use that waist knife, but you still have to carry it with you. It will be useful... In addition, it is better for my husband to learn a set of sword skills, and it is somewhat dangerous to hunt down robbers. Some bandits are from the green forest, and their martial arts are good. When you are on business, you must be careful." When Li Yi was eating, Liu Ruyi was talking softly beside him.
"Ruyi is also idle at home. You might as well let her stay with your husband. Even if you really meet a green forest tyrant, you can handle it."
Although the position of county lieutenant is a little more dangerous than other officials, it is not that exaggerated. If catching a thief could be life-threatening, the former county lieutenant would have died countless times.
Moreover, although these matters are under the jurisdiction of the county captain, the people who implement them are the arresters below.
At that time, throw all the things to Li Mingzhu, no matter what kind of princess she is, if she cheats herself, she must be prepared to be cheated by herself.
Li Yi shook his head and said: "It's not necessary, I don't know how long this inexplicable county lieutenant can be... Forget it, let's not talk about it, let's go out and walk."
Of course, I don't have the slightest interest in what people are forcing to do. I don't know how long it will take for the higher-ups to dismiss him if he becomes a county lieutenant and doesn't do anything with his salary
This is a relatively safe method that Li Yi thought of on the way back, not only won't go to jail, but can completely get rid of this burden.
The two came out from the yard, their figures gradually walked away. At the same time, a young man walked out from the next room, looked at their backs, his face was gloomy, and he punched the wall with his fist, dust fell down Come.
…
Autumn is getting stronger, the leaves on the trees begin to fall, and the chill atmosphere becomes more intense in the afternoon.
"My husband doesn't seem to like being an official." The two were walking on the small road behind the stockade, some distance away from the stockade, with the gurgling stream on one side, Liu Ruyi spoke softly.
"Yeah..." Li Yi sighed, and said: "What's so good about being an official? It's far less comfortable than it is now. I still think that when I have time in the future, I can go outside for a walk, venture into the rivers and lakes and so on. It's not in vain Walking around in this world, now I can only think about it... "
"The mind is not in the court but in the rivers and lakes. Xianggong really doesn't look like a scholar." Liu Ruyi looked at him and said with a smile.
"The rivers and lakes are so interesting, not much more interesting than the court." Li Yi actually had a little hope of becoming a generation of heroes, "Fresh clothes and angry horses, holding swords to the end of the world, just like the heroes in the novels, Is there any hero who guards the county government all day long?"
Liu Ruyi just smiled: "Master, don't be deceived by those stories. There are no heroes in the rivers and lakes. A group of green forests and grasslands can call themselves knights. What they do is murder and arson. There are countless people who deceive the world and steal their names."
"Is that so..."
The painting style of Jianghu in this world seems a bit different, but the flame in Li Yi's heart was still not extinguished. When the two walked to the end of the path and were about to turn back, Liu Ruyi pointed to a stone tablet in the field and said: "That's where my parents' graves are."
Only then did Li Yi notice that there were many stone tablets like this on this open space, and he could vaguely see words engraved on the nearest stone tablet.
Li Yi guessed in his heart, could this be Liu's ancestral grave
Since I passed by the cemetery of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, it would be unreasonable to go and pay my respects.
Today is not a special day, just passing by, the two of them didn't prepare anything, they just simply bowed, and when walking back, Liu Ruyi rarely talked about the things of the previous generation.
"In my grandfather's generation, the stockade was not what it is now. The troubled times have just ended. Although the cottage was disbanded, the habits have not changed. I heard that when the father married the mother, there was no order from the parents at all. The words of the matchmaker, the grandfather let People put down the bride price at their mother's house, and when they steal it, they leave..."
Up to now, when it comes to "stealing people", she no longer has to shy away from anything.
"I don't know what my father and mother were like at the beginning, but later, they came here like this."
Only then did Li Yi know that snatching relatives was a tradition of the old Liu family. Thinking about it this way, he just happened to catch up.
Chatting about trivial matters along the way, Li Yi was a little surprised. Up to now, she hadn't asked what happened to this inexplicable county lieutenant, and she seemed to accept it.
This made the explanation he had prepared, but he didn't have a chance to say it.
It was windy outside, and when he walked to the door, Liu Ruyi came over to help him tidy up his clothes, and said: "My husband has somehow become a county captain, and I was actually very surprised. Thinking about it later, if Xianggong really became a county captain, then After I become a concubine, won't I be the county lieutenant's wife?"
When it came to this, even she couldn't help laughing.
Li Yi was stunned, and after a long time, he turned his head to look at him, and clasped his fists with a strange expression.
"Mrs. County Lieutenant, disrespect, disrespect..."
"you are welcome… "
She arched her hands like a Jianghu person, with smiles on her brows and eyes.
