"Has he always been like this?" Li Yaonan frowned and asked in a troubled tone.
Guan Tianyou shook his head. He had no idea. He smiled and replied, "Mr. Huang is very quiet. Since he came to the government office, he has done almost nothing and has not had much contact with us."
Li Yaonan was speechless. He had no contact with the yamen runners. One could imagine how transparent Mr. Huang was. How had he offended him? Li Yaonan was really impressed.
Guan Tianyou pestered Li Yaonan, asking him about gambling techniques in a roundabout way, with an attitude that was flattering and fawning. Lord Li was left staring blankly, unable to understand when the relationship between his nephew and Lord Li had become so good.
Li Yaonan did not hide it and would occasionally give some advice when he was in a good mood.
Guan Tianyou benefited a lot and was very flattering to Lord Li. His brother-in-law scolded him a few times, which was not very painful. Lord Li was very angry and helpless, but he could not really do anything to his nephew. It can be said that apart from Lord Huang, Li Yaonan's life in the government office was very comfortable. Of course, Lin Yixuan's recent activities also contributed a lot. She helped her husband to build a lot of relationships. Although the relationship between colleagues was still not very good, as long as he did not meddle in other people's business, others would not openly target him.
Another day passed by, Li Yaonan closed the file and walked out of the government office slowly. Seeing Mr. Huang's figure, he unconsciously quickened his pace. Here he comes again. Li Yaonan was very worried. He felt like he was being followed by a shadow. He was really sick of it.
Lord Huang stared at Li Yaonan with a tearful look, as if he had a thousand words to say. It was not until Lord Li gradually walked away that he came to his senses with a look of loss on his face and walked home in a daze.
Guan Tianyou accidentally saw this scene, and his mind was instantly opened up. He couldn't help but wipe a tear of sympathy for Lord Li. Several yamen runners gathered together and whispered about the two or three things that Lord Huang and Lord Li had to say. This posture, this rhythm, is definitely a woman-dry affair!
Although Lord Huang is a man, everyone knows that Lord Li likes Shuang'er. Except for the inability to have children, Lord Huang is not much different from Shuang'er.
Gossip is not only for women. The bored men in the government offices are more interested in gossiping and talking about the love affairs of their superiors. They chatter about them with relish, and only pretend to be serious when they see the parties involved, turning their heads and talking about something else.
The rumors about Li Yaonan spread throughout the yamen in just one month. Some people laughed at him, some were curious about him, and some sympathized with him. It was unknown what bad luck Lord Li had to meet such a great person.
Li Yaonan felt very bad, but he would never bring such bad emotions home.
"Father."
"grown ups."
"grown ups."
Three children were playing in the yard. When they saw him, they ran over from a distance. Li Yaonan touched his son's head and his upset mood gradually eased.
"Father, I'm an adult now." Li Xu looked unhappy, thinking that patting the head was an act towards a child.
Li Yaonan laughed and tapped him: "No matter how old he is, he is still my son."
Li Xu was very dissatisfied, pouted his lips, and corrected: "I am a man, father can't treat me as a child."
Li Yaonan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "If you are not a child, then what are you?"
"I..." Li Xu stuttered, glanced at his small arms and legs, and said confidently: "I will grow up, father, you are not allowed to touch my head, my son must learn to be dignified now."
Li Yaonan burst out laughing: "You know what dignity is."
Li Xu nodded seriously and said clearly, "My father is very majestic. Mr. Sun said that majesty is momentum and authority. First of all, you must be strict with yourself, so that you can control your subordinates in the future and become a useful person."
Sun Ruisi? Li Yaonan was quite surprised. He didn't expect that he had such a good relationship with Xu'er.
"When you understand the ways of the world and learn to look at problems from various angles, your father will respect you." Li Yaonan said with a smile, without undermining his son's confidence.
Li Xu smiled happily, but no matter how hard he pretended to be an adult, he could not hide the fact that he was still a child.
Li Yaonan smiled and shook his head, patted his son on the head, and ignored his dissatisfied look: "Go play."
The three children cheered, and Li Xu quickly forgot his previous complaints. With the company of children of the same age, Xu'er became much more lively.
Li Yaonan returned to the main courtyard, and before he even stepped into the room, he heard his youngest son's sweet voice.
"Daddy, daddy, I want a playmate too." Li Xi grabbed Lin Yixuan's hand and shook it vigorously.
"Dad, please give me a pony."
"Daddy, Daddy..."
"Hmm!" Li Yaonan coughed dryly and walked in slowly.
Lin Yixuan was surprised: "You're back?"
"Father." Li Xi immediately behaved himself and stood up straight with his small body.
Lin Yixuan's eyes were filled with tears, as if he had seen a savior. He was really annoyed by his young son's noise, and he was speechless about Li Xi's perseverance. If this spirit was used in other aspects, he would definitely feel very gratified.
Li Yaonan was satisfied. Ever since he spanked his youngest son, Li Xi had learned his lesson and behaved very well when facing him. He glanced at him calmly and asked, "Why are you arguing with your father again?"
"No." Li Xi shook his head, as if the person who just spoke was not him, and his big eyes rolled around: "I want to go find my brother to play."
Lin Yixuan was helpless with this child and privately thought that the child must have taken after his father, which was why he was so eccentric.
Li Xi's small body ran very swiftly and disappeared in a flash.
Li Yaonan was speechless. Is he that scary
Lin Yixuan sighed, and said half complaining and half amusedly: "I'm afraid only you can control him."
Li Yaonan thought for a while and decided that it was better to ease the situation than to block it. He suggested, "How about we give him a pony and let him raise it himself?"
Lin Yixuan glanced at him and said, "How old is Xi'er?"
Li Yaonan laughed and said, "Anyway, there are servants following him, so nothing serious will happen. It can also be considered as cultivating his sense of responsibility."
Lin Yixuan thought about it and realized that there was nothing he could do with his youngest son, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say. Xu'er is old enough now, so I'll give each of them a horse."
The couple talked for a while. Lin Yixuan looked at her husband from time to time. Li Yaonan felt uncomfortable being looked at by him. He touched his face and found that there was no spot.
Lin Yixuan turned away, thinking that she was being overly suspicious. Her husband always kept his word and would never do anything messy. She said, "By the way, Mr. Sun is not young anymore, do you have any plans?"
Li Yaonan was stunned, not understanding what he meant: "What's your plan?"
Lin Yixuan glared at him and said stupidly: "It's a lifelong event. You are the master of others, you have to think about them."
Li Yaonan looked embarrassed. Brother Sun was only 26 years old now. Why did he feel like an old man after hearing what his husband said? However, when he thought of the early birth and early childbearing in ancient times, he felt relieved. He got married at the age of 17 and had a child at the age of 18. Now he was only 24 and his two sons were running around.
"Do you have any good candidates?" Li Yaonan became interested. He knew that his husband would not bring up this matter for no reason.
Lin Yixuan was bright and sad. Her husband was really careless and reminded her, "Don't you realize that Mr. Sun is very busy recently?"
Li Yaonan suddenly realized and immediately became interested: "Tell me about it."
Lin Yixuan glanced at him and smiled, "I heard it from Chunxian. A young man from Yunjiazhai came to Dali to chase someone, but Mr. Sun was hiding from him. In my opinion, Mr. Sun is no worse than others except for his appearance."
Li Yaonan nodded. This was exactly the truth. If it weren’t for his disfigurement, he believed that Brother Sun would have achieved something great.
Lin Yixuan continued, "Chunxian saw someone crying yesterday, and Mr. Sun was trying to comfort her. But after he was done, Mr. Sun disappeared without a trace. What do you think is the reason for them to do this?"
Li Yaonan understood somewhat. Mr. Sun had been through too many things and was uncertain about his relationship, so it was understandable that he would hide. "I'll go ask him some other day. If Brother Sun is interested, we'll arrange their marriage."
Lin Yixuan nodded and smiled: "Okay, then I'll wait for the wedding wine."
Li Yaonan then remembered that he didn't know who the person was, so he asked curiously, "Which boy from Yunshan Village?"
Lin Yixuan covered her mouth and smiled: "Don't you remember? Last year when we went to the mountains, someone offered wine to Mr. Sun at night, sang a love song, and even pulled Mr. Sun to dance."
Li Yaonan laughed. That was true. He still remembered that Mr. Sun seemed to have blushed at that time. He didn't expect that they still had contact now. According to his understanding of Brother Sun, if he really didn't want to, they should not have any contact anymore.
Lin Yixuan rolled her eyes, looked at her husband with a smile, and said softly, "Are you busy tomorrow?"
Li Yaonan thought for a moment. Apart from going to the government office, he had no other important matters tomorrow. He shook his head and said, "I'm not busy. What's the matter?"
Lin Yixuan smiled and walked closer to her husband, nestling in his arms, her eyes full of dependence: "I have nothing to do at home, I want to go to the government office to see you tomorrow."
"Okay." Li Yaonan replied with a smile. She liked her husband's wholehearted love. She gently embraced him and stroked his soft hair. She didn't consider why her husband proposed such a condition. She just thought that her husband was bored at home.
Lin Yixuan was smiling happily. He knew that Madam Wang was lying. Recently, when he went out, he always saw some eyes that seemed to want to say something but hesitated. He was wondering about this, but Madam Wang told him that her husband had someone in the yamen, which was nonsense.
After a moment of shock, Lin Yixuan just felt it was ridiculous. What kind of place was the yamen? Mrs. Wang didn't use her brain when she lied. Lin Yixuan took a heavy grudge against Doctor Wang, thinking that Doctor Wang was taking revenge on him for beating him.
Although she believed in her husband, Lin Yixuan still decided to go to the government office to take a look. There is no smoke without fire. Although her husband is upright, there is no guarantee that others do not have dirty intentions.
Lin Yixuan thought bitterly that whoever dared to mess with him would be killed on the spot.
The next day, Li Yaonan went to the government office and saw Mr. Huang's eyes full of resentment. He suddenly realized that his husband might be jealous. He felt funny and annoyed at the same time. What happened in the government office actually reached his husband's ears.
"Excuse me." Li Yaonan was in a bad mood and naturally had a bad temper. He walked straight past Mr. Huang and went into his room. With a "click", he closed the door.
The bailiffs in the yamen were whispering again.
Mr. Huang was greatly shocked. He stared at the door for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses.
Li Yaonan actually wanted to rush to Mr. Huang and ask him what he had done wrong. Wasn’t it okay for him to correct it
At noon, Lin Yixuan came over with a lunch box. The yamen runners had never seen him before, but this did not prevent them from knowing that the young man in front of them was either rich or noble and must not be offended.
Lin Yixuan got off the sedan chair and slowly walked into the yamen. His elegant manners and demeanor instantly stunned many people.
"Sir, who are you looking for?" Yang Erqiu smiled, without any trace of the fierceness that he had shown when he had just chased away an old man.
"I'm looking for Lord Li." Lin Yixuan said lightly, with a cold voice and a noble aura. Although there was no arrogance in his voice, it made people feel that he was unattainable from the bottom of their hearts.
"Please follow me, Lord Li is working." Yang Erqiu said with a smile, and he understood something in his mind. This young man must be Lord Li's wife. He is indeed a young man from a noble family. His aura makes people feel ashamed.
The bailiffs began to murmur, all with expressions of anticipation for a good show on their faces. They had heard that Young Master Lin was a tigress, and they wondered what expression she would have when she met Lord Huang.
Lin Yixuan's heart sank slightly. How could he not notice the little movements of the yamen runners? As the whispers came faintly, Lin Yixuan gnashed his teeth in anger, but his smile became more and more casual. He walked to the door of his husband, knocked gently, and walked in with a faint smile: "Husband."
Li Yaonan looked up, put down the pen and ink in his hand, and greeted him with a smile: "You are here."
Lin Yixuan nodded, put the food box on the table, and said with a smile: "These are all your favorites."
Li Yaonan chuckled and looked at his husband carefully. He found that his heart was not as calm as his expression. He smiled and asked, "Have you eaten?"
"I've eaten." Lin Yixuan answered while helping him serve the food.
Li Yaonan secretly laughed and really liked the way his husband racked his brains for him. It was so cute no matter how he looked at it. Of course, he would never say this out loud.
Yang Erqiu had already found time to slip away. He had never realized that Lord Li was such a romantic man. The way the couple got along with each other made him feel sick. However, the daughter of the Marquis's mansion was indeed beautiful. If he could marry a wife like this, he would cherish her in his hands.
After dinner, the couple chatted for a while. Lin Yixuan looked around with his eyes darting around, but Li Yaonan pretended not to know and watched his husband's expression changing from time to time, feeling very amused.
Lin Yixuan sat in the room for a while, then simply opened the door wide. The view from inside the room was very good, and the situation in the yard was in full view.
Li Yaonan let him go. Lord Huang was a troublemaker and an official appointed by the imperial court. If he were to deal with him himself, he would have to be neither too heavy nor too light. His husband came at the right time. Li Yaonan suddenly felt that his husband was the best person to help him solve the problem.
Less than a quarter of an hour after the door was opened, Lin Yixuan clearly noticed that there was something wrong with the look in the eyes of an adult. He walked back and forth through the door twice and was about to come over again. Lin Yixuan's face was stern: "Is he sick?"
Li Yaonan spread his hands helplessly, looking very troubled. If only he knew, he could prescribe the right remedy.
When Lin Yixuan saw her husband's expression, she burst out laughing, laughing so hard that she bent forward and backward. She suddenly understood her husband's troubles a little. The worries in her heart were swept away. She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked fiercely at the person who came over again. No matter what he was thinking, it was wrong for him to look at her husband like that.
"Hey, come here." Lin Yixuan commanded and looked down at the person who came.
Lord Huang looked aggrieved, as if he was frightened by Lin Yixuan. His eyes became even more resentful, and he turned to look at Lord Li as if asking for help.
Li Yaonan stood still, he thought he really had no friendship with Mr. Huang.
Lin Yixuan was so angry that she laughed. She dared to look at her husband like that. It was a shame to expose the family's shame. "Pa pa pa!" Lin Yixuan closed the door and the window. "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
"You..." Lord Huang's eyes were red, and he looked like he was being bitten. Although he was trembling with fear, he still gritted his teeth firmly, saying that he would rather die than surrender.
Li Yaonan looked up at the sky in silence. How weak must Mr. Huang be, and how powerful must his imagination be to be able to make such an expression. He was definitely a white lotus. He had only seen it on his stepmother in his previous life. However, his stepmother was a fake white lotus, a tomboy. He wondered if this Mr. Huang was born with the aura of a moron.
Lin Yixuan was furious. He hadn't done anything yet, but he was showing off to anyone. His anger burned even more fiercely, and before he could make any move, he saw that Lord Huang had an accusatory look on his face, looking at Li Yaonan with extreme disappointment: "Lord Li, I thought you were a good official."
Li Yaonan was stunned. There was something wrong with the rhythm. Lord Huang actually spoke, and it was more than two words. His husband was really worth two. You know, he had asked for a long time, but Lord Huang didn't say a word.
Lin Yixuan's anger was rising: "Whether my husband is a good official or not is none of your business. The people will judge for themselves."
Master Huang was deeply distressed and heartbroken. Tears flowed out like a woman's. His angry eyes were full of accusations: "Master Li, you are so disappointing. How could you do this?"
Li Yaonan was puzzled. What had he done to anger God and the people that made Lord Huang act like a ghost every day
Lin Yixuan was so angry that he vomited blood. If it weren't for the wrong time and place, he would have wanted to beat the man down right now.
Mr. Huang plucked up his courage and looked at Li Yaonan again, his face full of disgust as if he was looking at some garbage.
The husband and wife looked at each other and thought that Mr. Huang's change seemed too fast.
"I once went to the capital to take the imperial examination. I heard about Lord Li's deeds and was in awe of him. I took Lord Li as my goal for life and vowed to be a good official who was not afraid of power. But I knew that hearing about you was not as good as meeting you in person. You are so disappointing. I am not ashamed to be associated with you."
Li Yaonan was speechless, his whole expression was as if he was struck by lightning. Oh my god, what on earth is going on
Lin Yixuan's face twitched and her beautiful features twisted.
Li Yaonan said hurriedly: "I am indeed a vulgar man, and a bad man. I am not worthy of Mr. Huang's attention. Mr. Huang has served the country and the people. I admire him. I hope Mr. Huang will continue to work hard and don't bother me."
"No!" Lord Huang shook his head gently and advised earnestly: "Lord Li, it's good that you can correct your mistakes. I am not completely disappointed in you. I am very relieved that you can say that you are a bad person, which proves that your nature is not bad and there is still a chance to save you."
Li Yaonan wanted to go crazy and wanted to slap himself. You are such a talkative person. Oh, God, please take this lunatic away quickly.
Lin Yixuan was stunned. For the first time, she gained some new insights. She glanced at her husband with sympathy. How could she live with such a colleague
Seeing that Mr. Huang was about to give a long speech, Li Yaonan's face turned cold, and his aura was intimidating without anger. He scolded him sternly: "Mr. Huang, please stick to your duties in the future. It is not your turn to question what I do."
"You..." Lord Huang blinked, unable to believe that Lord Li was uneducated. He felt very hurt. Lord Li was clearly a role model for all the students, so why was he nothing like the noble and upright person he had imagined
"What do you mean? It's not your turn to interrupt my husband's affairs. If you do that, I'll dig your eyes out." Lin Yixuan immediately put on a ferocious look.
Mr. Huang looked at them deeply, a hint of determination flashed in his sad eyes, and he said, "I won't give up." Then he covered his face and ran out.
The bailiffs outside the door dispersed in a hurry. Li Yaonan gave them a displeased look, but he was not in the mood to care about it at this moment. Mr. Huang's halo of a saintly figure was really annoying.
Lin Yixuan sat in the chair in a daze, unable to understand how Mr. Huang had passed the imperial examination.
Li Yaonan pinched his cheek and said, "You're back to your senses."
Lin Yixuan's face was embarrassed. He did not forget his purpose today. Who knew that Mr. Huang would be such a top-notch person? He almost caused a big mistake.
Li Yaonan looked at him with a half-smile, and his mood improved a little. Although Lord Huang was mentally retarded, he also reminded him of one thing. Perhaps he should do something to improve his reputation in Dali. After all, his reputation in Yuxi was too loud. Who knows, someone might end up like Lord Huang. If he really disappoints people, it will not do any good to the image he has built up over a long period of time.
Li Yaonan frowned and thought deeply. The so-called celebrity effect has its pros and cons. It is indeed a little late to do practical things until next year. However, it is not easy to pluck feathers under the governor's nose. It is really worrying.
Lin Yixuan did not bother him, but began to think about how to find out the whole story. Although Lord Huang was not a threat, he was upset when he saw him, and he did not want his husband to be watched sooner or later.
When he left the yamen today, Li Yaonan breathed a sigh of relief, finally he didn't see that sad look.
The yamen runners laughed and made faces, and whispered gossip to each other, and occasionally a word that Lord Huang had been defeated could be heard by the husband and wife.
Li Yaonan was extremely depressed. Lin Yixuan didn't know whether to laugh or not. It was not that he was gloating, but his husband's trouble this time was really laughable. In fact, it could not be said that Lord Huang was defeated, but he was really convinced that someone could stump his husband and educate him ideologically.
After returning home and seeing his two sons, Li Yaonan relaxed. He spent some time with his sons, checked their homework, and had dinner. In the evening, he talked to Sun Ruisi. First, he paid attention to his life event, and then got to the point, how to improve his reputation and dispel the governor's doubts.
The author has something to say: Thank you, I will continue to work hard. o(n_n)o
This article has caused a lot of controversy, perhaps the author did not think it through enough, but in my mind, this should be the ideal little bottom. After marriage, one is in charge of the home and the other is in charge of the outside world. It does feel a bit like a romance novel, so please forgive me for that.
