When a woman is pregnant, her emotions will inevitably become sensitive.
Li Yi didn't feel too obvious a difference from Ruyi's body, but it didn't mean that he could be careless as usual, and he would still take care of handling some small emotions seriously.
The old emperor had acquiesced in his paternity leave, and didn't send anyone to come back. Even the academy didn't urge him, and it was a happy thing for Li Yi not to see Lao Chang's face.
Miss Liu Er has always been restless, but these days it is rare to calm down, maybe she was stimulated by the Taoist nun, and she practiced kung fu every day, and she would drag him to practice from time to time, in the name of gaining actual combat experience, The increase in actual combat experience was not obvious, but the butt pain became more obvious every time. Li Yi felt that she was taking revenge.
Except for human sandbags, Li Yi has nothing to do these two days. He is mostly cooking and chatting with him, reading some books on prenatal and postpartum care, and leaving the other things to Lao Fang.
Among them is the purchase of a house in the city, surrounded by beautiful mountains and rivers, which is good for physical and mental health.
Although this place is not far from the capital, it is still outside the city. There is no place to go around. I always stay at home, and I will inevitably feel depressed. Li Yi plans to move there as soon as possible, so that it will be more convenient for him to do things.
The place he likes the most should be Furong Garden, Qujiang Bieyuan and other geomantic treasures. It's no wonder the officials are not crazy.
These days, he often sees the sloppy old man at home. He thought that he was entrusted by his second uncle to go all the way to Qi country. Now it seems that this is not the case.
Seeing through and not telling, with a grandmaster by his side, the safety factor immediately went up to a higher level. He originally thought about whether he could be dealt with with a bunch of big white rabbits, but now even these things are saved.
Although it's fine to be idle at home, the things to do are still piling up.
For example, the glass business with the Wang family, the ready-made clothes, embroidery, military rations with the eldest princess, and even the perfume, soap, ruyilu, etc. that have already formed a scale and do not need him to manage. As for doing everything by myself, there is still a need to understand.
Although these things were to be done sooner or later, they were not urgent, and Li Yi naturally postponed them.
There are things to do and people to meet.
When the carriage passed through the capital city again, seeing the complex flashing across Li Yi's face, the slovenly old man finally understood that there was indeed a blockage here, but it wasn't the road that was blocked, maybe it was something else.
…
"Zui Mo, do you still remember that when you were young, you liked to eat Xu Ji's candied fruit the most... At that time, your mother was afraid that you would break your teeth and wouldn't allow you to eat it, so you secretly saved money and slipped out, and almost got your teeth smashed." I caught it, but it scared the whole family..."
In Yangliu Lane, in a small courtyard in the depths, a middle-aged man in a blue robe stood there with a smile on his face and said: "A few days ago, I have been looking for the previous shop, and I have searched all over the place. I couldn't find it in the whole of Kyoto, and I only found out yesterday that it was Xu Ji who changed his name later... "
He put a paper bag on the stone table, opened it and said: "It's on the other side of Xingping Street. It's called Fuji now. When I came here just now, I bought some by the way. Try it, is it the same taste as before?" …”
Zeng Zuimo looked at the paper bag on the table, looked at the candied fruit inside, a trace of bewilderment appeared on his face, mixed with some memories that were so long ago that she couldn't remember them clearly.
How long ago was that
Eleven years, twelve years, or thirteen years
At that time, her mother was very strict with her, and being able to eat Xu Ji's candied fruit was probably the happiest and happiest thing for her...
However, this small wish was not likely to come true. At that time, although his father was not a high-ranking official, his family education was very strict, and even the candied fruit from Xu Ji was not worth much, but if he really wanted to have a good time, he still had to eat it. The second uncle secretly bought it and stuffed it for her, and hid in the quilt at night to eat...
At that time, she and her second uncle were not what they are now.
However, things in this world can never go back to yesterday, let alone thirteen years ago
Seeing that she was unmoved, the middle-aged man had a slight gloomy look in his eyes, but he concealed it well and said, "Tomorrow is the Zeng family's family feast, you..."
"I have a lot to do tomorrow..."
Zeng Shichun froze for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's okay, there will be opportunities in the future."
He looked at the sky and said, "Second Uncle still has work to do, so let's go first and come to see you tomorrow."
Only when the middle-aged man turned to leave, Zeng Zuimo raised his head and glanced, a trace of pain flashed deep in his eyes.
"It's in the past… "
Wan Ruoqing walked over from the house, looked at her with distress, put his palm on her shoulder, and said softly.
Some dusty memories emerged from her mind, Zeng Zuimo bit her lip, her face turned pale, she tightly held Wan Ruoqing's hand, nodded, "It's all over..."
Li Yi walked to the gate of the small courtyard, guessing that Wan Ruoqing and Zeng Zuimo should not be there at this time, hesitated for a while, and when he was about to knock on the door, the courtyard door opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man in a blue robe came from inside. walked out.
Li Yi paused slightly when he stepped forward.
The minister of household department, Zeng Shichun.
Why is he here
When Zeng Shichun walked out of the courtyard, he probably regarded the young people outside the courtyard as some crazy bees, waves and butterflies. This kind of people appeared frequently in the near future, and he had encountered them countless times.
His eyes didn't even stay on the man's face, and he simply passed by.
However, after walking two steps, he seemed to remember something and turned his head abruptly. At this time, the young man had already entered the courtyard, and the courtyard door was closed.
Zeng Shichun froze in place, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Crazy bees, waves and butterflies? If it was just crazy bees and butterflies, it would be impossible to enter this courtyard. That person just now... was it him
When Li Yi walked into the yard, closed the door, and walked in, he was still thinking about why he met the right servant of the household department here.
If he remembered correctly, the other party seemed to belong to the Cui clan, a staunch supporter of the King of Shu.
Although there was no direct confrontation with him in the court, he still had the impression that this person had a high status in the lineage of the King of Shu.
What puzzled him was that without the permission of the two of them, it was impossible for idlers to enter this courtyard, and Zeng Shichun alone...
Temporarily unable to figure out these things, thinking about what Xiaocui should know, Li Yi walked through the Moon Gate, saw a figure sitting by the stone table in front of him, and said, "Xiao..., Zuimo?"
Xiao Cui said halfway through these two words, only to realize that the person sitting there was Mrs. Zeng, her brain was short-circuited, and she changed her words suddenly, sounding like "Xiao Zui Mo".
Zeng Zuimo and Wan Ruoqing raised their heads at the same time, and the atmosphere in the courtyard began to become a little awkward.
After Li Yi's footsteps stopped, he showed a bright smile, waved his hand, and said, "You are all here—what a coincidence!"
