He rubbed Xiaohuan's head habitually, but he hadn't seen him for half a month, and the familiar and no longer familiar movements actually felt a bit unfamiliar.
The most caring one was his own maid, just seeing her made her feel at ease, Li Yi picked her up and turned around on the spot, the little maid was so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head.
She pinched her small face and asked, "Did you not eat well these days, why did you lose so much weight?"
"Really?" The little girl's eyes were bent into crescent moons, and two shallow dimples appeared on her little face.
She was already a little baby fat, and she always hoped to become as thin as the young lady and the second young lady, and to become the pointed chin that my uncle likes.
"Really." Stretched out a finger and tapped on her forehead, looked up at the woman who was walking towards this side, the two looked at each other and smiled, a thousand words were spoken in silence.
"Yi'er is back." The old lady came out with a smile on her face, and said, "Whatever you are standing outside, come in quickly."
When speaking, his eyes did not move away from Ruyi's body.
Obviously, the old lady was very satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law. Li Yi saw a hairpin on Ruyi's head that she had never seen before, and it was not new. It was very likely that the old lady gave it to her.
It is the customary way of the old lady to express her love by giving away things if she disagrees with her.
"My lord, what kind of viscount have you really become?" When the old lady was holding Ruyi's hand and talking, Lao Fang sat next to Li Yi and asked in a daze.
Li Yi casually threw the waist card to him, and Lao Fang looked over and over - but didn't see a reason.
Although I can't read, my uncle said yes, it's really unpredictable. Half a year ago, I was a poor scholar who was tied up the mountain with my own hands, and suddenly became a nobleman in the capital. Looking back, I feel a little embarrassed.
"When you come to the capital this time, don't go back again. Yi'er has now been knighted by His Majesty, and will soon settle down here. You two should also consider the matter of the child." The old lady brought up the old matter again, I can't wait to hug my great-grandson the next day.
Ruyi blushed, and after the old lady finished speaking, she ordered the servant girl to open a small box on the table, take out all the bracelets and Zhuchai inside, and try them one by one...
In the courtyard, several maids gathered together and whispered together, looking inside from time to time.
"I heard that Mrs. Young Master is coming."
"What did you hear? It's basically talking with the old lady inside."
"The young master looks talented, but what does the young master's wife look like?"
"That's needless to say, just look at the second young lady. How far can the two sisters go?"
"I saw it, I saw it just now, the young master's wife and the young master are a perfect match—it's a pity that we have no chance."
…
…
Since the old lady's birthday banquet last night, the young master, who has not been back to the Li family for a long time, has once again become a man of the hour in the Li family's population.
I heard that because of the young master's face, Prince Ning and Princess Yongle sent people to celebrate the old lady's birthday. The sandalwood seal master of Hanshan Temple even came in person to offer congratulatory gifts. Many people said that the young master's handwriting is better than Zhao's. Chun's is even better, they don't know who Zhao Chun is, they just know that the young master is much more powerful than they seem.
Of course, the most shocking thing is that His Majesty conferred the title of viscount on the young master, just like the master, but the young master is still so young...
Li Yi couldn't live in his Viscount's mansion today, although he wanted to, but according to the rules, he had to wait until someone from the palace came to inform him.
In the afternoon, I took Ruyi to meet my grandma's family. They didn't know that she had become a Viscount.
I have lived in the capital for decades, and I want to leave suddenly. Of course, it is not true to say that I have no regrets.
The old man didn't seem to care about whether to leave or not, he just held his and Ruyi's hands tightly together, choked up and speechless.
After all, the lie still can't be kept for a long time. Every time he avoids talking about a certain issue, the old man seems to have realized something, and there are more and more silences.
Back at Li's house at night, the four of them were in the small yard, and it seemed like they had a home again.
The little maid obviously held back a lot of words, and she hardly stopped after she opened her mouth. Most of the things she said were about what happened in Qing'an Mansion in the half month after Li Yi left.
In the Oiran Competition of the Shangyuan Festival, Lu Qiaoqiao finally won the leader, but the most famous one is Zeng Zuimo, the former number one Qing courtier of the Qunyu Academy. A talented man with the same name as the uncle wrote a lot of poems for her, and many people opened her eyes. He paid a sky-high price just to see her, but she disappeared in Qing'an Mansion after she had redeemed herself, and the Goddess of Luoshui became a legend...
This matter is probably the entertainment headline in Qing'an Mansion during this time, even Xiaohuan has heard about it, of course, what interests her the most is the talented man with the same name as my uncle...
Zeng Zuimo actually redeemed herself, Li Yi was very surprised, but thinking about it this way, there is a reasonable explanation for all her actions, that is, before the oiran contest, she had plans to redeem herself, and she didn't even think about promoting Fame, because the price of redemption would be higher.
Li Yi was a little ashamed. She was kind, but almost messed up her big event. Li Yi felt that she must have scolded him behind her back.
However, she has actually left Qing'an Mansion, and the chance of seeing her again in the future may be very slim.
Thinking of this, an inexplicable sense of loss appeared in Li Yi's heart.
The little maid continued: "Also, that old storyteller sent a lot of money to the family..."
Old man Sun's dream of opening theaters all over the world, I don't know where he has come. When he left, he told him not to be too eager to expand, and steady and steady is the last word.
In the future, it won't be convenient to write scripts for him. On a whim, he wanted to develop a plan similar to the entertainment industry in this world, but this trip to Beijing disrupted the plan.
Leave it to Old Man Sun to figure it out for himself. The old man is in good spirits, and it looks like he can still fight for many years. As for how he will develop in the end, let's just wait and see...
The business of Qing'an Mansion needs to be managed by a trustworthy person. If the business in the capital is started, whether it is the Ruyilu, spirits, or Goulan that cooperates with Prince Ning's Mansion, it will not be very important, it is better to have all of them If you invest in other places, you may have to go back in person for this matter.
Most of the things that Xiaohuan said were actually related to him. As for the change of prefect in Qing'an Prefecture and the promulgation of some new decrees, things like these seemed not so important.
There is one thing that is very important. The last time I was delayed because I came to Beijing in a hurry, this time it is impossible for any reason to be an obstacle.
Running all the way was tiring enough for the little maid, Xiaohuan fell asleep leaning on her arm while talking, Li Yi carefully picked her up, put her on the bed in the room, covered her with the quilt, When you close the door and walk out, prepare to complete that one unfinished life event.
Walking into the yard, I happened to see Ruyi being dragged back to her room by Miss Liu Er, who said that the sisters hadn't seen each other for half a month and had a lot to say—sisters love each other deeply, which is normal.
Li Yi gritted his teeth, glared fiercely at the yard next door, and made up his mind that he would not pay back the money owed to Miss Liu Er even if he was killed!
