"Master Zeng, Mrs. Chen?"
Li Yi held the two letters, with a hint of surprise on his face. If Miss Chen San had something to do, she would just say it when she met here on weekdays. It's more like Chen Yu's style.
What else did Zeng Shichun write in his letter, which should be handed over to him through Zuimo
Li Yi opened Zeng Shichun's letter first, and there was only a piece of letter paper inside, with big characters written on it, "The Cui family wants to move, be careful of the Chu family."
The literal meaning is that the Cui family has been silent for so long, and they are about to take action, and they are asking him to beware of the Chu family, Chu family, Chu family... It sounds familiar. Could it be that the actions of the Cui family have something to do with the Chu family?
Taking a closer look, I found four words at the bottom of the letter paper, "Burn after reading".
Don't worry about burning, Li Yi put the letter aside, and opened another one. The handwriting on the letter was crooked, like a dog crawling. It was definitely not written by Ms. Chen San, but it was the same as he guessed.
"Keep your heart in the face of confusion, treacherous and chaotic politics, so that you can do it yourself."
Although Chen wrote a few more words than Zeng Shilang in the matter, the meaning expressed was somewhat blurred.
The meaning of Yinghuo Shouxin is obviously that the death of the emperor has anything to do with the treacherous and chaotic government. Could it be that Chen Ge also studied the constellations in his work, intending to overturn the unreliable conclusions made by the predecessors
Besides, when Her Majesty the Empress is in court, how can there be any treacherous and sycophants in the court, who dares to mess up the government
Taking a ten thousand step back, even if there is a traitor, the one who should be worried should be the traitor himself, what does it have to do with him, why let him do it for himself
Looking away again, there are also four words at the bottom of the letter paper, "Burn after reading".
The two sent letters to him at the same time, obviously they hadn't passed it before, and it seems that the love affair between Zeng Shilang and Chen Ge that was rumored in the court was not completely groundless, this tacit understanding, ordinary people can't compare.
Zeng Zuimo looked at him, and asked worriedly, "Is there something important?"
Li Yi shook his head and said, "It's just a trivial matter, don't worry, your husband is very powerful."
"Who's worried..." Zeng Zuimo glanced at her, his voice was weak, "Whose husband are you..."
"Okay, it's getting late, it's time to go back." Li Yi shook his head. In the end, he still didn't want to force her too tightly. At most, he just delayed a little more time every day and ran on both sides. Before leaving, he reminded her: " By the way, remember to burn those two letters."
Zeng Zuimo nodded, watched him walk out of the courtyard, then picked up the two letters, turned and walked towards the kitchen.
The next moment, Li Yi's figure appeared in front of her again, and said with a smile: "The next time we meet is next year, why don't you kiss me goodbye?"
…
Li Yi still took Chen Chong and Zeng Shichun's reminders to heart.
The Cui family has been inactive for so long, and this time the grand court meeting is approaching, and officials from all over the country are coming to Beijing one after another. An ordinary small matter may have a huge impact, so we must guard against it.
But it is impossible to deal with them in advance with only a confidant and guarding their hearts without knowing what their specific actions are. If there is a reliable undercover agent in the Cui family, that would be great...
However, it doesn't matter if the Cui family takes action. Only with action can there be a way to deal with it. With Chen Jishizhong and Zeng Shilang here, if the Cui family can turn the tables, it means that the king of Shu has the favor of heaven, and maybe he will God damn it...
"Uncle."
When he got to the side of the carriage, Lao Fang called out.
Li Yi looked back at him: "What's the matter?"
"Face." Lao Fang only said one word.
Li Yi reached out and wiped his face, and asked, "Is there any more?"
Lao Fang nodded: "You can go."
On the last day of Jinghe's three years, Li Yi sat in the carriage, sorting out the big and small things that happened this year.
The birth of the young master and the young mistress of the Li family is the biggest joyous event in the family; after going through all kinds of hardships, he and Zui Mo finally achieved a positive result, although there is still some distance from the result, but it is only a matter of time; Her Royal Highness is in charge of the government, and the people's will, The overall situation is gradually stabilizing; Yongning's psychological trauma is gone, Tsundere Lolita is a year older, Miss Liu Er has also grown up, her temperament has become gentle recently, and even Lao Fang has become more sensible...
It seems to be full of expectations for the future...
…
There are many customs on New Year's Eve, and they are very troublesome. From noon onwards, the whole family starts to be busy.
The maids and servants cleaned the whole house, the floor was spotless, and the pillars outside could show people's shadows when they got closer.
As for pasting couplets, window grilles and hanging lanterns, there is no need to borrow other people's hands.
The couplet was written by Li Yi himself. After applying the paste, he moved a ladder and pasted it on. A little bit… "
The window grilles were made by Miss Liu Er. Li Yi only found out today that he had always underestimated Miss Liu Er.
A pair of scissors danced like a weapon in her hands, and Li Yi, who was so fast, couldn't see clearly. Soon, window grilles of various patterns appeared on her hands, and they were distributed to the maids to paste them.
Lin Wanru couldn't help much. Ruyi was decorating the ancestral hall, so she hugged Li Duan to bask in the sun in the yard. The little guy was very familiar with her now, but his hands were always dishonest when he was hungry, and occasionally let Li Duan A little embarrassing.
The New Year's Eve dinner in the evening was eaten by many people. In terms of the atmosphere, it was naturally much more lively than the previous two years. After that, they made dumplings together to watch the New Year. Eating dumplings on the first day of the new year was a long-standing custom in Jingguo.
After eating, it was still a long time before dawn, and the two old ladies couldn't hold on to that time, so they went to bed early, sat there and took a nap for a while at the Dragon Boat Festival, and were also taken down by the aunt.
After playing mahjong for more than half an hour, Li Duan was woken up by the sound of firecrackers outside, crying unceasingly, Ruyi hurried to coax him, but was entangled by him and couldn't get away.
Li Yi saw that Lin Wanru's face was also tired, so he cleared the table and said, "Miss Lin, go to bed too."
Lin Wanru got up to say goodbye, Li Yi felt a weight on his shoulder, and Xiaohuan fell asleep leaning on his shoulder.
After finally taking her back into the room, covering her with the quilt, and closing the door and walking out gently, the courtyard that was still bustling just now suddenly became silent.
The sound of firecrackers could be heard in the distance, and the sky flickered. It was the fireworks set off by wealthy people, illuminating the entire sky from time to time.
On the stone table in the courtyard, a blurred figure reflected by the flash of the sky looked at the night sky in a certain direction, and poured himself a drink.
"Still asleep?"
Li Yi walked over and sat down opposite her.
"Noisy." Miss Liu Er replied a word, Li Yi poured himself a glass of wine, and then asked: "Are you not used to so many people?"
"It's okay." Second Miss Liu took a sip of her wine and looked away from him again.
"There is wine but no food..." Li Yi looked at the table, shook his head, got up and left, and walked back after a while, holding a tray with several cold dishes in his hand.
Miss Liu Er didn't seem to be in a very high mood. Li Yi handed over a pair of chopsticks and said, "It's boring to drink alone. I'll drink with you."
"You?" Miss Liu Er finally looked away, looked at him, and asked, "How many drinks can you have?"
"Isn't it just stuffed grapes? How many glasses do you have? You underestimate me." Li Yi glanced contemptuously at the glass jug he usually used to hold stuffed grapes on the table, picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.
The spicy taste almost choked his tears out.
After covering his throat and coughing a few times, he looked up at her, widened his eyes and asked, "How much is it?"
"You can't drink it." Second Miss Liu stretched out five jade fingers and said, "Go to sleep."
This is looking down on people, Li Yi poured another glass, and said, "Isn't it just spirits, I'm not even afraid of you, I'm afraid of it?"
Second Miss Liu picked up the wine glass, respected each other across the table, and drank it down in one gulp.
Li Yi also drank it all in one gulp.
"Cough, cough..."
"Forget it, you'd better go to bed."
"I, I tell you, don't look down on people..."
"Then, come again..."
"Come again!"
…
"Ruyi, tell me, what's bothering you?" A moment later, Li Yi hooked Miss Liu Er's neck, his eyes blurred, "Whatever you want, what's there to worry about, tell me, what do you want?" , I can give it to you..."
Miss Liu Er frowned, stood up, supported his arm, and said calmly: "You are drunk, I will take you back to your room."
"I'm not drunk..." Li Yi waved his hand, looked at her, his eyes became serious, and said, "Do you know, in fact, you are the one I admire the most..."
"What do you admire about me?" Miss Liu Er frowned, and asked casually as she supported him and walked towards the door step by step.
"I admire you for being beautiful, good at martial arts, and so cool, the leader of the martial arts, you sound so majestic... Tell me, what are you worrying about?"
There was a hint of thought on Li Yi's face, and suddenly he became stunned, and said: "I see, it's because you can't beat Mingzhu..."
Miss Liu Er stopped in her tracks and frowned, "I can't beat her?"
"Oh, it's okay..."
Li Yi swayed, stood up straight, patted her on the chest, and said: "Although you can't beat her, you are bigger than her. No matter how much you practice, you will definitely catch up with her. She is forever!" Can't keep up with your... "
