"Master, time is urgent, let's set off tomorrow morning." After discussing with the young man for a while, the old man surnamed Li came over and said.
"Tomorrow is tomorrow." Li Yi waved his hand. Since he can't leave in a few days, it doesn't make any difference whether it is tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Go early and return early, and you are still waiting to go home to do business.
"Well, tomorrow morning, we will come to pick you up." After the old man said something, he and the young man withdrew.
Pack up early and set off early tomorrow morning. If the journey goes well, you should be able to reach the capital in five days.
"Uncle, where are you going?" After the two walked away, Xiaohuan looked down at Li Yi, and asked in a low voice, with a nervous tone.
Li Yi patted her little hand and said: "Don't worry, my uncle just went to the capital to do something, and he will be back soon. I will bring you the rouge from the capital, and the rouge gouache from Wanhuazhai, but you can only get it in the capital." Sell."
Last time, Li Xuan sent a few boxes of high-quality rouge. It is said that it is specially provided by the palace. It is very precious. Only the Wanhuazhai in the capital sells it. After being sad for a long time, Li Yi originally planned to ask Li Xuan how many more boxes, but later found out that there were not many such things in the palace, and the last few boxes were all given to him last time.
Xiaohuan nodded with some disappointment. Although she has wanted the rouge from Wanhuazhai for a long time, she still hopes that the uncle will take her and the young lady to watch the lanterns together during the Lantern Festival in a few days, but the uncle will leave tomorrow. , No matter how beautiful the lantern is, it's meaningless.
Whether it is to repay the favor or seek peace of mind, no matter what the reason is, this trip to the capital is inevitable. Even if Li Yi plans to return immediately after the old lady's birthday is over, I am afraid it will take at least half a day. For more than a month, these days when he is not in Qing'an Mansion, there are some things that need to be explained before leaving.
The first thing to do, of course, is to go to the county government to ask for leave.
This is simple. Speaking of it, the sick leave granted to him by Her Royal Highness has not disappeared, and now he is sick to work, and his salary is doubled...
You only need to tell Magistrate Liu, and he will take care of other things properly.
County Magistrate Liu had nothing to say about this county lieutenant who hardly appeared in the county government.
Of course, he would not put Li Yi in the same position as the former County Captain Zhou, not to mention that the background and background of the two people are far apart. Can't fault it at all.
These days, under the instruction of the magistrate, in several counties under the jurisdiction of Qing'an Prefecture, those who have county captains will send the county captains here, and those who do not have county captains, the county magistrates will come in person. Conducting on-the-spot investigations, before leaving, he intentionally left a few guards behind, staying in the county government office to study and reform. The good law and order in Anxi County has been widely publicized as an example. This is the first time that County Magistrate Liu has been an official for many years. Such a bright face...
Li Yi came out of the county office and walked straight towards the theater.
Wan Ruoqing and old man Sun also want to inform them that the expansion of the theater should be stopped these days, and the existing site should be well managed first. If the foundation is unstable, there is a great possibility that it will collapse completely in the future.
"Hey, don't worry, my lord, with our current manpower, operating the existing theaters inside and outside the city is already the limit. There are many people who want to join in, and they just let them do odd jobs and do trivial things. I have enough food to eat, and the several stewards are now starting to train their own people, and when they are capable enough, they will be sent out... "
Old man Sun was spitting all over the place, with an excited expression on his face, he painted a grand blueprint for Li Yi in a few words. It seemed that he wanted to open theaters in all the state capitals of Jingguo in his lifetime.
Everyone is busy, even Wu Er, who has just joined the theater, is no exception.
The boss of the Wu family continued to do the business of escorting goods and collecting information from various sources in the martial arts. The anecdotes about martial arts and the ranking of masters have been completely handed over to Wu's second hand. The storytellers under him, Using the fastest speed to make up various jokes about martial arts, the list of martial arts heroes changes three times a day, and its influence is not only limited to Qing'an Prefecture, but also has a lot of popularity in several neighboring state capitals.
Wan Ruoqing is still so bright and charming, but the whole person has become much clearer, Li Yi frowned, and said: "The things about the theater, just let the people below do it. You just need to control the overall situation and avoid going out." Any big mistakes are fine, don’t worry too much.”
Li Yi's original intention was just to let them use their abilities to change their embarrassing lives, but he never thought that the small Goulan at the beginning would develop into such a behemoth as it is now. Wan Ruoqing's body is already weak. It is not worth the candle.
"Understood." Wan Ruoqing smiled and nodded.
It is beyond her expectation that the theater can have the scale it is today. They have put in a lot of hard work step by step to this day, and naturally they cherish it very much. They have personally handled all major and minor matters. I really want to make some achievements, let him see...
"That's right, sister Ruoqing wakes up before dawn every day, and stays up late, and has lost a lot of weight these days!" The girl named Xiaozhu said angrily.
Li Yi patted her on the shoulder and said, "From now on, you will be Sister Ruoqing's personal manager, and the monthly allowance is the same as those of those in charge. The only thing to do is to watch her carefully and not allow her So tired, understand?"
"Understood!" The girl blushed, patted her small chest, and assured her: "Don't worry, I will definitely make Sister Ruoqing fat and white, just like before—no, she was too thin before, Get a little fatter than before!"
Li Yi smiled, then looked at them and said: "I have something to go out for a while, what's the matter these days, you two can discuss it, if you encounter any trouble that can't be solved, go to the county government to find Liu Butou …”
…
…
When passing by the gate of Qunyu Courtyard, Li Yi stopped for a moment, hesitating whether to go in and say goodbye, but the girl standing at the gate soliciting customers had already greeted her with a smile on her face.
"Young master, do you want to come in and play..."
Seeing the girl talking, and the white powder on her face falling down, Li Yi immediately stopped hesitating and strode away.
It's only been away for half a month, so there's nothing to say goodbye to, the things have already been sent to Xiaocui, at most, when he comes back, treat her to a meal and apologize in person, shouldn't it be sincere enough
Stepping into the house, Ruyi was helping him pack his things. There was already a bulging bag on the table, and she was putting a few ingots of silver into another small bag.
"These..." Li Yi pointed to the baggage, and Ruyi explained: "It's just a change of clothes. It's inconvenient to use bank notes. The journey is far away. The husband should bring more silver. The old lady celebrates her birthday, so she should buy something decent. don’t be laughed at by others…”
"By the way, my body is inconvenient. Let Ruyi and my husband go to the capital together. I don't know what will happen along the way. With Ruyi here, I can always protect my husband well..."
Seeing her tidying up and chattering, a generation of peerless masters, showing the posture of a little woman, Li Yi stood where he was, slightly dazed.
The scene at this time was really like before her husband left for a long journey, a heart worried about his little wife, and it was also a feeling that Li Yi had never experienced in his two lifetimes.
It was the first time I saw the woman who smashed the wooden table with her palm and said "Concubine, Liu Ruyi".
