"Be diligent with your hands and feet in the past two days. The whole house has to be cleaned up and down. If you do well, the monthly allowance will double." Viscount Mansion, no, the servants and maids of Earl Mansion Hearing Sir Alex's words, his heartbeat started to speed up, and even his eyes were red.
Damn it, it's only the beginning of the month, and this month's regular money has already doubled. If it goes on at this rate, the regular money they get this month is more than what they usually get in a year. many.
In fact, the regular money stipulated by the old housekeeper was simply a display. When meeting such a patriarch who doubled the regular money at the end of the month, any servant would be ridiculed.
Li Yi walked around the yard, waved to Lao Fang who was about to go out, and said, "Old Fang, let someone remove the corners of the table, the corner of the cabinet, the threshold... these are easy to trip over Everything is covered…”
"Uncle, it's not like we're full and have nothing to do, so what are we doing with this stuff?" Lao Fang curled his lips and said.
"If you ask you to take care of it, you can take care of it. How can there be so much nonsense? Just ask one more question, and you won't have to go to work in the city tomorrow. Why don't you take care of the fence at the head of the village?"
Lao Fang's complexion suddenly changed, and he said hastily: "Bao, let's do the bag now, it must be bagged! If we bump into each other while walking, it will be bad..."
Seeing Lao Fang running out to find someone in a panic, Li Yi sat on a stone bench in the yard, drinking tea and resting.
Miss Liu Er has hardly seen anyone these few days. Ruyi and Xiaohuan went shopping in the city, and he directed for half the morning by himself, and his mouth was indeed dry.
The old emperor was indeed a man of his word. On the second day after the literary examination, after all officials dispersed, his son of Chang'an county became the county uncle of Chang'an. Doubled, the promotion of the title does not seem to be of much use.
But these are not important anymore, the important thing is that Princess Yongning will come here for "treatment" in a few days, as for the people and courtiers are talking about the upcoming martial arts test, who cares
Not long after sitting down, Lao Fang came in again and said, "Uncle, there are people outside who say they are your friends, and they are waiting at the door now."
"I brought a present, it seems to be quite heavy..." After finishing speaking, as if thinking of something, Lao Fang added another sentence.
"Then invite someone in quickly."
It is a joy to have friends come from afar, even if they are far away..., especially friends who bring gifts and are very sincere, let alone neglect.
People like Li Xuan who never bring gifts and always like to order things from home are not welcome.
"I came here uninvited and called on you rashly. I hope Brother Li will not blame you." When the third prince of Qi Kingdom stood in the yard and cupped his hands at him with a smile, the expression on Li Yi's face was a bit stunned.
He never thought that the one who brought a generous gift to visit here was actually him...
"Why, Brother Li doesn't welcome Zhao?" The third prince of Qi State asked with a smile.
Li Yi finally recovered, stretched out his hand and said, "Please."
…
…
"I don't know why the third prince is visiting today?" In the living room, the two sat down as guests and hosts. After a maid served tea, Li Yi asked straight to the point.
He and the third prince of Qi had only met each other a few times, and although he didn't have any ill feeling towards him, but because of the opposition of identities, he couldn't be considered a friend. It stands to reason that he should hate himself for destroying his plan. Bar
But looking at the appearance of the third prince, he didn't seem to care at all, at least from the surface he couldn't guess what he was thinking.
The third prince of Qi waved his hand and said: "Brother Li, there is no need to see outsiders. There are no third princes here, only Zhao Yi."
Li Yi only knew that Zhao was the surname of Qi State, but it was the first time he knew the name of the third prince, but he was even more puzzled. The third prince looked familiar, but he and he seemed to be different. familiar
Zhao Yi smiled and said: "Brother Li, you don't have to worry about anything. Mr. Zhao is not a narrow-minded person. In those two competitions, Brother Li won the honorable and honest one. Even Xiuwen and Mr. Meng praised Brother Li very much. It is us You have underestimated the people of the world, and you will not be wronged if you lose these two games."
Li Yi didn't know what to say for a while. Could it be that the third prince gave such a heavy gift just to get close
"The third prince has something to say, let's just say it straight." Li Yi said again, after all, he still wants to hang out in Jingguo, and it's not suitable for him to get too close to the third prince.
If it weren't for Li Yi not really having a bad impression of him, and after getting rid of his position, he still admired him a little, he would have let Lao Fang see him off a long time ago.
The third prince seems to have a very good personality. Li Yi discovered it when he first met him. After stepping into this courtyard, until now, none of his expressions or movements have made Li Yi feel the slightest bit. Talking to such a person will naturally give people a feeling of spring breeze.
"Whether Brother Li believes it or not, I really want to make Brother Li my friend." Zhao Yi looked at him and said, "Zhao has met many young heroes, but after seeing Brother Li, he understands what is To be honest, brother Li was not born in Daqi but in Jingguo, Zhao is extremely regretful."
"The third prince is absurd." Li Yi had to admit that the third prince was very good at boasting. When he told the truth, his expression was sincere and his attitude was touching. He knew that the other party was the prince of Qi, but his favorability towards him was still the same. Cengceng up.
"If it wasn't for Qi Guo and Jing Guo's confrontation, you and I would definitely become close friends." Zhao Yi looked at Li Yidao.
"Unfortunately, there is no if." Li Yi said with a sigh.
"That may not be..." Zhao Yi smiled, and suddenly asked: "I heard that there is some disagreement between Brother Li, Qin Yu, the eldest grandson of Qin, and the King of Shu?"
Li Yi turned to look at him, Zhao Yi did not ask him to answer, and said with a smile: "No matter how you look at it, the King of Shu is the prince who is most likely to inherit the great rule, and the Qin family will definitely be in full swing in the future, I don't know Why did brother Li have a grudge against these two..."
Zhao Yi paused, looked at him with a slightly serious expression.
"Zhao just wants Brother Li to know that no matter whether there is such a day or not, I, Daqi, will always have a place for Brother Li."
Looking into Li Yi's eyes, Zhao Yi said seriously, took out something from his arms, and put it on the table between them.
"In Daqi, seeing this thing is like seeing Zhao. Brother Li put it away."
Li Yi looked at a dragon-shaped jade pendant on the table, thoughtful.
At this time, Zhao Yi stood up from the chair, sighed and said: "This time I stayed in Jingguo for a long time, and Zhao will leave tomorrow. It is a pity that I can't talk for a long time... I hope to see Brother Li again." day."
"Zhao still remembers that Brother Li still owes me a meal." He said something again and turned to leave.
"No, no, no..." Li Yi shook his head, pointed to Li Xuan who came in from the outside, and said, "There is the person who owes you a meal."
