Chapter 178: The emperor's grace is mighty

Views:

The two eunuchs passing the decree couldn't stand Li Yiyou's extremely resentful eyes. After the decree was awarded, they couldn't wait to leave the courtyard and gallop away on their horses.

They still didn't receive any thank-you gifts for passing the decree this time, they don't care about this anymore, they only hope that they won't encounter such drudgery again in the future...

In fact, Li Yi originally wanted to give the two eunuchs a little bit of meaning. After all, the other party came from the capital and was tired all the way. With 10,000 taels of gold, it wouldn't be too distressing to send out dozens of taels.

But who would have thought that 10,000 taels would become one tael

He didn't know that the recipients of rewards in the past focused on the emperor's gift itself, but they didn't pay much attention to property. Throughout the ages, he was probably the only one who had such unusual thoughts in his heart.

Jinshan, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, flew away, and there was nothing to rejoice. Li Yi felt a little lost, and he would suffer if he didn't read a lot. Who knew that even the rewards here were such a routine. The sky has reached its extreme, why didn't you just say "reward ten thousand coppers" at the beginning

Forget it, since the emperor thinks that his life is only worth a tael of gold and a few acres of land, what can he say

It seems that we still can't expect the pie to fall from the sky, we have to build a happy life with our own hands...

When Liu Ruyi and the three daughters walked to the door of the house, the crowd outside the door had not dispersed yet.

Looking through the gate, you can still see a pile of neatly placed cloths. I heard from the lord who read the imperial decree just now that His Majesty the Emperor also rewarded a whole hundred mu of fertile land to the husband of the Ruyi family. You know Fertile fields are no more than the land in the stockade, which produces more grain every year. If there were so many fertile fields in the stockade, the previous life would not be in such a situation.

"Ruyi is back!"

Seeing sisters Liu Ruyi approaching, everyone hastily moved out of the way, looking at them with eyes full of envy.

The two lonely and helpless children in the past seem to have flown up the branches, and not anyone can easily bully them.

"Ruyi is back."

"Go back quickly, an adult from the capital came to your house just now!"

"This time I came to reward a lot of good things!"

"..."

Everyone was chattering, with expressions of envy and awe.

It is said that the emperor's kindness is mighty, but why does it always fall on Uncle Ruyi's head every time

It's only been a few days, His Majesty the Emperor has bestowed officials and rewarded land, such as the husband of the Yi family, this is a "holy family", and he will be a high-ranking official in the future, maybe they can also get involved some light.

Thinking of how embarrassing they were for Sister Ruyi, some of them regretted it.

Back then... I was really blind!

Liu Ruyi saw so many people around the door at first, and thought it was something serious at home, she was a little anxious, but after hearing what they said, she felt relieved, said some polite words to everyone, and hurried into the yard.

Holding in her arms the things she bought at the foot of the mountain just now, Xiaohuan also hurriedly ran into the yard, accidentally tripping over the threshold, but fortunately Liu Ruyi helped her in time.

Li Yi stood in the yard, looking at the pile of copper coins, the more he looked at it, the more angry he felt.

If I keep it, I will always think of this infuriating thing, throw it away..., and I can't bear to...

"Sir, this is..."

Liu Ruyi walked into the yard, and the first thing she saw were those silk cloths. When she walked to Li Yi's side, her pretty face was full of doubts.

She knew that Li Yi was rewarded as a county captain, and it seemed that it was because of writing an article—why this time

Originally, she just thought that maybe her whole life would pass smoothly, but since a decision a few months ago, her whole life has undergone earth-shaking changes, and she feels a little uncomfortable.

"Accidentally did another thing that benefited all people, and these were rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor." Li Yi said with a sigh.

"How can I say that I have benefited all people..." Liu Ruyi smiled, and was used to Li Yi talking like this, and asked suspiciously: "Since it is a reward, why is Xianggong so sad?"

"Too few..." Li Yi's voice came slowly.

The expression on Liu Ruyi's pretty face froze. She still thinks the emperor's reward is too small

If the current emperor knew his thoughts, would he take back the rewards

However, thinking of how reluctant he was when he was appointed as an official last time, it is not so strange to have such thoughts.

Xiaohuan looked at the fine silk cloth in the yard, and muttered in his mouth, if he had known that there were so many fabrics at home, he would not have bought them in the city just now, and carried them up with painstaking efforts, only to find that there were already so many cloths in the yard. A pile of fine silk cloth.

So much cloth is enough for the three women in the family to make hundreds of sets of clothes. Li Yi didn't plan to keep the things given by the emperor at home, and he didn't have any free space, so he asked Xiaohuan to send a piece of cloth to each of the sisters he knew well. , there are still a lot left, and I plan to have a chance to take it down the mountain and sell it. The silk cloth bestowed by the emperor should be more expensive, right

None of the emperors of Jingguo have ever been so narcissistic that they insisted that others give up what they had bestowed. It is not uncommon for the emperor's rewards to be given to others or sold for money. Although the emperor always felt uncomfortable when he found out, But it's not a crime.

There is only half a month left before he takes office. In the past few days, Liu Ruyi has obviously trained him much more strictly.

In addition to some basic skills, Li Yi recently spends about an hour every day learning a set of sword techniques.

The position of county lieutenant is still somewhat dangerous. It is best to improve your combat effectiveness. In case of accidents, you still need to have some self-protection capabilities.

Fortunately, although the growth of true energy is slow, the speed of learning moves is still very scary. Li Yi only needs a knife manual, and Li Yi can read it once, and he can imitate it in a decent way.

Of course, it's just a superficial resemblance. From Liu Ruyi's point of view, it's full of loopholes, and she will point it out mercilessly every time she sees it.

If you make a mistake, you have to correct it. In terms of martial arts, Liu Ruyi can't rub the sand in her eyes. Li Yi was still laughing at Imperial Physician Liu before, but this time he finally realized his previous mood.

No matter whether she is really strict or avenging her personal revenge, at least she is still very responsible in teaching him to practice martial arts. Li Yi didn't care about the previous things, but just asked her whether there was a chicken first. It was still the question of the egg first, so he walked out of the yard slowly.

"Grandpa, are you here?"

Walking through half of the village, I walked into a relatively dilapidated courtyard. An old man with gray hair was sitting in the courtyard, holding a carpenter's tool, busy with something.

Hearing the sound and turning around to see Li Yi, the old man immediately put down the buddy in his hand, stood up and said with a smile.

"Han Bo, what did you do last time?" Li Yi put down the bag of rice noodles in his hand and asked with a smile.

Han Bo is the carpenter who helped him make the rocking chair. In fact, at his age, he is still far from being called an old man in later generations, but the average life expectancy of people in this era is not long. After thirty years old, he can stroke his beard and call himself an "old man". Perhaps it was because of all the hard work in his life, Han Bo was in his early fifties, his hair was already gray, and he looked much older.

"It's ready a long time ago, and I'm just waiting for my uncle to pick it up." Han Bo said kindly with a smile on his face.
