"Uncle Li, the hut, the hut is in front." A few steps behind Li Yi, the veiled maid lowered her head and whispered.
"Why are you here?" Li Yi turned around, looked at her and asked.
The servant girl's body trembled slightly, and her voice was a little panicked, "Uncle Li, servant girl, servant girl, don't you know what you are talking about?"
"I said, why are you in the capital, and at the Prime Minister's residence?" Li Yi looked at her and asked, "Liu Mei, where are your parents?"
The servant girl's body trembled again, but she also knew that she couldn't hide her identity no matter what, she slowly took off her veil, and it could be seen that her appearance was still pretty, but a scar on her face was extremely glaring.
And her appearance is not unfamiliar to Li Yi.
"Dead, all dead..." She said with complicated complexion and sad voice, "I met bandits on the way to Beijing, and my parents were both dead. The steward of the government has pity on me... I've been here all this time."
Li Yi looked at the woman in front of him. She was young, but her face was full of vicissitudes. No matter what, she couldn't connect her with the high-spirited girl in Liuye village a year ago.
If I remember correctly, this girl named Liu Mei should be the daughter of the third uncle in Ruyi's name. When she was in Liuye Village, she had never dealt with Xiaohuan and the others, but it was more manifested in her dissatisfaction in words And cynicism, if you want to talk about deep hatred, there is naturally no such thing.
Later, because of the gang of strong men in the green forest, in order to avoid disaster, those uncles and uncles of Ruyi took money from their families, left Liuye village, and settled down in their own homes.
Strange to say, since that day, Li Yi has never seen them again until he saw Liu Mei here.
In this way, the third uncle and the third aunt are no longer alive. Li Yi can only remember that he was a thin man who didn't talk much, and seemed a little afraid of his wife. Awesome, I can stand at the door with my second aunt for half an hour without losing the wind, but now...
So many things happened in this year, for him, these are already long memories.
And the grievances with the members of the Liu clan turned into dust a long time ago.
Li Yi looked at her, thought for a while and asked, "Then what are your plans for the future?"
"Plan?" There was a smile on Liu Mei's face, but it was uglier than crying, "I, I am already like this, what else can I plan..., I, I am fine now."
Li Yi glanced at her again, shook his head, and walked back along the way he came.
Liu Mei turned around until his figure disappeared, and stood there for a long time with a gray face.
She can still remember at this time, about a certain day a year ago, when Mother came back from outside, she seemed a little unhappy.
It was only later that I found out that Ruyi had snatched a villager from the outside and brought back some of their plans. During that time, she remembered that Mother had been thinking about their family's two acres of Susukida for a long time.
At the beginning, she had met the Mr. Yazhai a few times.
The general impression is that she is thin, frail and scholarly, but she is very handsome. At that time, she would occasionally think that she should marry this kind of person when she gets married in the future. She looks very comfortable and is different from all the people in the village, but want money...
Later, I gradually realized that the scholar was very good, he could write poems, he could teach, and he made a lot of money. Everyone was saying that sister Ruyi had picked up a treasure. At that time, she was actually a little envious.
Later, he sold candied haws, and his family also sold them... Later, he became a county captain, and the situation in Liuye village changed.
Later, she left the stockade with her parents and went to a neighboring county. After she settled down, she didn't deliberately inquire about the news there. Later, she made some money selling candied haws, so she thought about coming to the capital to join her relatives. The candied haws business will continue, but who would have thought that such a thing would happen on the road, and then that relative would also...
She endured a lot of hardships in those days, and finally came to Qin's house after many twists and turns. She finally had a place that could shelter her from the wind and rain. Although she was always ordered around by others on weekdays, now she will not ask extravagantly again. what.
I once thought about marrying a handsome young man, but this idea has not reappeared for a long time.
Then she heard some news, the county uncle of Chang'an, the celebrity in front of His Majesty, the three heroes of the capital, defeated the people of Qi, and even your own little father-in-law, you have suffered a lot under his hands, every time you think of this, Her heart would become a little complicated. If they hadn't left that day, would things have been different
However, there are no ifs in the world after all, she touched the scar on her face, put on the veil again, bowed her head and left silently.
Meeting Liu Mei in the Qin Mansion was naturally beyond Li Yi's expectations. She is also an old friend. If Ruyi Ruyi or Xiaohuan knew the news, they didn't know what would happen.
Those old grievances in the past are no longer worth mentioning now, but this is the Qin family, if I act too special to her, it will not be a good thing for her, and it can only be like this at present.
When he was walking back, he "accidentally" ran into a servant of the Qin Mansion and asked him for directions, only to realize that he had gone wrong, and walked back a distance of three to five zhang, disappearing behind a moon gate.
"Miss Xiaomei?" The man who pointed the way scratched his head and nodded slightly.
"Wu Er, why haven't you recovered yet?" A voice came from not far away, and Wu Er hurriedly responded, "Here we come..."
He glanced in a certain direction, turned around and ran quickly.
…
…
"Keep Prime Minister Qin waiting for a long time." Li Yi walked into the hall, cupped his hands and said.
"It doesn't matter." Qin Xiang waved his hand, not caring at all, and said, "The tea may be getting cold, I'll ask someone to make another cup."
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't bother, in fact, I don't drink much tea on weekdays."
He really seldom drinks tea. As for the tea from the Qin Mansion, he can't drink it. Who knows if there are any ingredients or something in it? Qin Xiang may not be able to do it, but someone really can.
"I don't know what's the matter with Prime Minister Qin?" Li Yi asked straight to the point after sitting down again.
Qin Xiang took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and seemed to ask casually: "Li Xianbo is a rare young talent in Jingguo, what do you think of recent government affairs?"
Li Yi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I didn't read it, I have never been to court..."
Qin Xiang froze slightly when he put down his teacup.
He actually intends to solicit Li Yi today. Judging from the observations of the past few months, the other party can really be called the number one young person in Jingguo. He is inextricably linked with Jiangmen, and he has a close relationship with Prince Ning's son Li Xuan. King Ning's influence in the court cannot be underestimated. What's more, Prince Li Xuan has the support of the Wang family and other powerful families behind him. Let him be loyal to His Highness the King of Shu, so why worry about the failure of the big event
Of course, this kind of thing can't be explained clearly, and he really wanted to evade a few words, but Li Xianbo's first sentence made him talk to death. He was unprepared for a while, and his thoughts were disrupted. How to ask.
