The atmosphere in the Li family is different from the mansions of powerful officials outside. The adults in the family have a good temper, and even if the maids and servants accidentally do something wrong, they will not punish them excessively. Gradually, the servants are also relaxed. opened.
Of course, what needs to be done will still be done well, but the heart is relaxed, there is no need to worry about it, there must be great rewards every year and festivals, and two days of vacation are allowed every month. This kind of situation is impossible in any place in Kyoto.
But today, everyone was very energetic and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
This is the first day the second lady came back. If something goes wrong, my adults will not beat and scold them, but they will definitely deduct all their rewards for this month.
The maids were busy up and down, and occasionally glanced at a certain hall, thinking that the wife and the second lady were the first-class stunning people in the world, but the second lady was not inferior in the slightest, even the one who came with the second lady I don't know if she is Miss Wan from the third wife, and she is not an ordinary girl.
"Sister, please drink tea."
In the hall, Zui Mo held tea and handed it to Ruyi with a smile on his face.
Ruyi put the tea aside, stood up and took her hand, and said with a smile, "Your younger sister, you are welcome, come and sit down."
Although there was still one ceremony missing, it was only that one ceremony that was missing. The door of the Li family was easy to enter but difficult to exit. Once she entered the Li family, she would never want to go out again.
What happened yesterday was actually very simple. The Zeng Mansion was burned down by King Xin, and the Yangliu Lane was occupied by the relatives of the old Fang family. It was not very good to take two Yunying unmarried women to the inn in the middle of the night. If people criticize them, the best way is to take them home and resettle them.
The old lady who heard the news hurried over, worked until midnight, and rested here directly. By the way, the wedding date was finalized, which will be at the end of next month. The date was arranged by her old man in advance, and she has already missed it. A few good days and auspicious days have passed, and the next suitable one will be next month.
Zui Mo actually didn't think of this, but when the old lady opened her mouth, she couldn't refute, so she agreed in a daze, thus the scene in the morning happened.
To Li Yi's surprise, last night, Ruoqing didn't refuse to move in with Zui Mo. If she didn't nod first, Zui Mo probably wouldn't agree.
King Xin set it on fire—he couldn't bear to settle accounts with him.
Standing in the yard, Lao Fang looked at the three women who were speaking in low voices in the room, then at Li Yi, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, to be honest, did you ask someone to set that fire on purpose yesterday?" ?”
Li Yi frowned and looked at him, and asked, "Do I look like this kind of person? You also saw those dead men with your own eyes. Besides, I will let them take such a big risk?"
Lao Fang thought for a while, nodded, and asked again: "Then uncle, tell me the truth, is King Xin one of us?"
Lao Fang asked a good question, and even Li Yi himself had such a question at a certain moment.
"I suddenly couldn't bear it..." Li Yi thought for a while, and said, "Why don't we just break his legs?"
"You said you had two legs last night."
"... two legs?"
…
The incident of the Zeng Mansion being on fire, whether it was big or small, did not cause much commotion last night, nor did it cause much trouble during the day.
Of course, some people can't hide it even if they want to.
Zeng Shichun walked in in a panic, saw Li Yi, and asked straight to the point: "How is Zui Mo, are you not injured?"
Li Yi shook his head and said, "The house was burned, and no one was injured."
Where is the Zeng Mansion, Zeng Shichun showed a trace of sadness on his face, shook his head and said: "If the house burns down, it will burn down, as long as people are okay."
"Where's the arsonist, have you caught it?"
He only found out about this matter in the morning, and came here in a hurry, without going to the county government office to inquire about the situation.
Li Yi shook his head, "They are all dead soldiers."
"Dead man?" Zeng Shichun frowned, "Xin Wang?"
Even for the dignitaries in the capital, it is not easy to cultivate dead warriors. It takes huge resources to use dead warriors to set fires. Perhaps only those princes can do it.
If there were only clues about those dead men, it would be difficult to investigate the case. Even if King Xin could not win the crown prince, he was still a prince, and even if he was eventually found out, there would not be any excessive punishment.
Knowing this matter, Li Yi had his own thoughts, and Zeng Shichun didn't say much. After seeing Zui Mo, he left in a hurry.
Not long after, Li Xuan and the eldest princess came to the door at the same time.
Li Yi said in surprise: "It's only been a few days since the Great Court Meeting, you shouldn't be so free, right?"
"I already know the matter." Li Mingzhu looked at him and said, "Even if King Xin can be found in the end, I'm afraid there will be no results. Now the Great Court Conference is coming, and many officials are gathering in the capital. You must not mess around." Come on, the matter of Xinwang will be settled after the Great Court Meeting."
"Don't worry, I have my sense of proportion." Li Yi shook his head and said, "The most is just burning his Xinwang Mansion..."
"—"
Seeing that Li Mingzhu and Li Xuan were looking at him, Li Yi waved his hands and said, "Just kidding, arson easily hurts innocent people. Even if I break his legs, I won't do such a thing as arson."
"—"
"Let's not talk about this." Li Yi shook his head and said, "How about you, how are you preparing for that matter...?"
Li Xuan sat down next to him, took a sip of tea, and said, "Let's talk about the burning of Xinwang's mansion. Is there enough manpower? Do you want me to help? I can let them sprinkle fire oil from the sky..."
…
Kyoto's largest Goulan.
Xiao Zhu walked over with a teapot, pointed to a young man, and said, "Hey, that, your name is Xu Zheng, let them rest for a while and drink a glass of water, and then move later, don't worry."
The young man named Xu Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked with a smile, "Miss Xiao Zhu, where are you going to move to? Is it the Zeng Mansion? Why don't I let them send it there directly?"
Leaving Zeng's mansion aside, it's fine, but when it comes to Zeng's mansion, Xiaozhu showed an angry expression on her face, waved her hand, and said, "It's not Zeng's mansion, and I won't go to Zeng's mansion in the future!"
Xu Zheng asked curiously, "What happened?"
"You don't know, last night, we were about to go to sleep, some bad guys set off rockets in the dark, all the houses in Zeng's mansion were burned down, and the miss and I were frightened..." She patted her chest with lingering fear "I can't imagine, if we were all asleep last night, those bad guys wanted to burn us to death..."
Naturally, she didn't know how strong the guards inside and outside Zeng's mansion were. Even in the middle of the night, there were people on duty, so such a thing would never happen.
"Zeng Mansion—was it set on fire?" Xu Zheng was startled, lowered his head and asked, "Miss Xiao Zhu knows... who set the fire?"
"I don't know..." Xiaozhu shook her head, and seemed to think of something, and said, "It seems that some believe in the king and sent dead soldiers. Those people are too terrifying, and they are not afraid of death. I heard it too... , Hey, you guys have a good rest, just move quickly, just move it to the carriage outside, don't leave anything behind... "
"good!"
The young man responded readily, with a smile back on his face, and waved to the people behind him, "Be quick with your hands and feet, don't delay the girl's affairs..."
Xinwangfu.
"What, just burned down the house?" King Xin waved his hand when he heard the news from one of his servants, and cursed, "A bunch of trash, they can't handle such small things well, what's the point of being alive..."
"Your Highness, the guards in the Zeng Mansion are too powerful. None of our dead soldiers have come back. I'm afraid..."
King Xin waved his hand, "Forget it, let him be proud for a few more days..."
In Prince Xin's Mansion, a man who looked like a butler pointed to several servants who were moving things, and asked, "What are you moving?"
One of the servants smiled and said, "Go back to Butler Zhao, this is the spirit I bought outside today..."
"All right, all right, I see..." Butler Zhao waved his hands and told him, "Go and do your work, remember to be careful with your hands..."
