Li Yi was very melancholy, very melancholy.
Just a few months ago, he was still eating and waiting to die, lying in the yard in the sun every day, teasing and teasing the little maids, telling stories to the brats, for the last piece of chicken and willow on the plate. The leisurely life of the second lady fighting wits and courage.
I don't know when it all started to change.
Earning more and more money, the people he knew became more and more distinguished, the money in the family was piling up like a mountain, talking and laughing with the princess and heir all day long, the carriage of life began to go in the direction he didn't expect, and the horse rode like a horse. , Radu can't come back.
Thinking that if you make a little money, you will be safe—I was kidnapped a few days ago and almost lost my life. This time, I was killed by dozens of people. I have never experienced such an exciting thing in my life...
Gunpowder was invented, and new troubles followed one after another. Although he didn't know how much the emperor would attach importance to this thing, no matter what the result was, it might be impossible for him to live as before.
Besides, what happened today also gave him a wake-up call.
Whether it is cooperation with Prince Ning's Mansion or friendship with Li Xuan, they are all illusory. If they are used as cards, sooner or later they will die miserably.
I was really lazy before, and I used to think about things in a simple way, but now it seems that I am a little too naive.
…
…
The oil lamp on the table exploded with a flickering light. Li Yi rubbed his swollen eyebrows, and the injured part of his lower abdomen began to ache again.
After all, his injury has not completely healed, and it is not suitable for too violent movements. However, today he has no choice but to rush around all the time, making gunpowder in a hurry, and he has not even had time to eat. At this moment, the old wound There are signs of relapse, and the stomach is also unbearably hungry, and there are also faint labor pains coming from the back of the neck.
Li Yi touched the back of his head, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
Today, in front of so many people, it was a shame to be knocked out by Ruyi.
If he can't revive Husband Gang, he won't be in this family anymore.
Of course, knocking him out is not the point. The point is that her attitude towards the whole matter is really annoying.
There was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door, and then the door was pushed open. Liu Ruyi walked in with a tray in her hand, put a bowl of steaming plain porridge on the table, and said softly: "Uncle Fang said that Mr. I haven't eaten all day, my concubine cooked some porridge just now, let's drink it while it's hot."
Li Yi looked up at her without speaking or moving.
Liu Ruyi knew that he was angry, and when she thought of what he said just now, "I'll settle the score later", her eyes averted a little, and she said, "Master, remember to drink the porridge early, and the concubine will leave first."
When she was about to open the door and escape, an arm stretched out from behind, pressed against the door, turned around in a panic, and almost touched the tip of Li Yi's nose.
"Don't you have anything to say to me?" At this time, in the flickering room, the postures of young men and women resembled a movement called "bi dong" in later generations. Judging from the situation at this time, it is called "bi dong". It should be more appropriate to call it "door knock".
The expression on Li Yi's face was very serious, without any hint of cynicalism. Liu Ruyi's answer was very important to him.
"It's late, Mr. Xiang... Please rest early, Mr. Liu Ruyi." The expression on Liu Ruyi's pretty face became even more flustered, and when she was about to escape from the other side, Li Yi's other hand pressed over.
The palm that should have been pressed against the door, because of her sudden movement, pressed against her chest.
Liu Ruyi's body froze, and after the expression on her face froze, her pretty face immediately turned blood red. She raised her head and looked at Li Yi, her voice was trembling, and she was about to cry, "Msg, Mrs...."
At this time, she is just a shy and ordinary woman, how can she look like a master
However, when she raised her head and met Li Yi's eyes, she saw something different from his eyes as deep as a pool of water.
After understanding the hidden deep emotions in Li Yi's eyes, her body shook, and her face gradually turned from blushing to pale.
It seems that something extremely important to her is leaving her...
"The concubine..." She bit her lower lip tightly, lowered her head and said, "The concubine knows it's wrong."
…
…
Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and something seemed to let go of his heart.
Looking at her, he asked, "Tell me, what's wrong?"
After finishing speaking, he found that the touch of one palm was not right, and when he looked down, he couldn't help being startled.
No wonder it feels soft in the hand...
"The concubine shouldn't knock out the husband." She said softly before raising her drooping head.
"What else?" He couldn't shrink back at this time, Li Yi pretended not to notice that a hand was placed where it shouldn't be, and continued to ask.
Although she shouldn't knock herself out, this is only the superficial reason. As the saying goes, husband and wife are like birds of the same forest, and when disaster strikes, each... Bah!
Husband and wife are one body, if there is any difficulty, we can discuss and solve it together, masculinity is unacceptable, this kind of juncture knocks herself out and sends her down the mountain, is it because she has never regarded herself as a husband-in-law in her heart
"Also..." Liu Ruyi thought for a while, and said, "I shouldn't make decisions on my own, giving those who left ten taels of silver per household to settle down..."
"What?"
Li Yi's eyes widened, "A settling fee of ten taels of silver?"
He calculated it in his mind, if the members of the Liu clan and those villagers added ten taels of silver per household, wouldn't they have spent nearly three hundred taels of silver today
This prodigal girl, three hundred taels of silver, how many times does he have to blackmail Li Xuan to earn it back
It's over, as soon as she gave it away, the back garden of the mansion was given away.
Li Yi felt extremely pained in his heart.
"Anyway, they are dragged down by concubines..." Liu Ruyi said with a sigh.
"Forget it, let's not take it as an example." Three hundred taels of silver is three hundred taels of silver. If the money is gone, you can earn it back. Those people are gone, and it will be quiet in the future.
Liu Ruyi lowered her head, and Li Yi put her hand on her chest. When the two of them stopped talking to divert their attention, the atmosphere gradually became awkward.
Her stomach groaned twice, and Li Yi pretended not to notice, and took her hands away from her chest. Liu Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and drink your porridge, my husband, it will be cold in a while."
Li Yi nodded. He was indeed unbearably hungry now. After the scene just now gradually faded in his mind, his appetite recovered a lot.
After finishing the porridge quickly, he touched his lower abdomen, frowning slightly.
"Is the wound starting to hurt again?" Liu Ruyi asked worriedly from the side.
"A little bit." Li Yi said.
"Msanggong lies on the bed first, and then I will use my true energy to help him sort out." Liu Ruyi said as she put away the dishes and chopsticks.
Whenever Ruyi helped him sort out his meridians, it was probably when Li Yi was most comfortable. Her hands seemed to have some kind of magical power, which could minimize the pain.
Li Yi lay on the bed with his eyes closed, while enjoying himself in his heart, the tiredness brought about by running around all day also gradually hit.
When Liu Ruyi withdrew her hand, she saw that he was breathing evenly and had already fallen asleep. She was startled for a moment, and a blush suddenly appeared on her pretty face. She turned her head and looked around, took off her embroidered shoes, curled up at the foot of the bed, and bent over. With slender legs, arms wrapped around her, quietly looking at his stretched eyebrows.
Qiao's face was sometimes shy and sometimes dazed. She didn't know how long it had passed. She looked in the direction of the door like a thief, lay down beside Li Yi, and slept with her clothes on. After looking sideways, she slowly closed her eyes. eyes.
At this time, the girl sitting in the courtyard stared blankly at the full moon in the sky, and from time to time glanced at the door not far away, until the lights in the room were turned off, no one came out from inside, with a pretty face. A hint of surprise appeared, and her beautiful eyes suddenly widened...
