Happy Little Scholar

A woman in a light blue constable outfit walked into the store. Lao Fang paused as he stretched out his hand towards the wine jar. After a moment of hesitation, he turned to look at Li Yi. Tian'lai' novel

Today, Li Yi was actually just waiting for the female constable to take away the Ruyi Dew, and then he could close the store and go back to the village. He was thinking that if she didn't come after dinner, he would send someone to send her to the county government office. Now he saved himself the trouble.

He put down the spoon in his hand, stood up and took out the Ruyi Dew that had been prepared for her from the counter. When he handed it to her, he subconsciously said politely: "Has the constable eaten yet? Otherwise, have some food here before leaving?"

Whether in the original world or now, this sentence is a very common greeting.

Food is the first necessity of the people. Whether you can fill your stomach is related to survival, and it is also the most concerned issue for people in ancient and modern times.

Therefore, when meeting, they often ask "Have you eaten?" "Do you want to have some food at home" to show their concern for each other.

Over time, it became a convention, and it gradually became the most common greeting when people met each other.

The standard response to this greeting is "Thank you, I've eaten", and the two exchanged a few more polite words and then parted. One was enthusiastic, the other was polite, and both the host and the guest were happy.

Li Yi waited for the female head constable to refuse to leave, and then quickly finished his meal and went home. Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, when he looked up, he saw her looking at the egg fried rice on the table. The next moment, she turned her head and looked at him and said lightly: "Okay."

The smile on Li Yi's face froze on his face, and he felt like he had shot himself in the foot.

The female head constable's behavior was not routine at all, which made him a little unresponsive for a while. He was stunned for a long time before he said: "Then, you sit down first... I'll go get you some rice."

After all, she had done him a favor twice, and Li Yi would not be stingy to treat her to even a bowl of egg fried rice. After a brief accident, he turned and walked towards the kitchen.

The female police officer walked to the table, put her sword aside, sat down casually, and looked at the fried rice on the plate. A rare look of doubt appeared in her eyes.

From childhood to adulthood, she had tasted everything from delicacies to street snacks, but this kind of food in front of her was the first time she had seen it.

Just smelling this unique fragrance made her appetite tremble.

Since the female police officer sat opposite him, Lao Fang began to feel a little embarrassed.

One reason was the other party's identity, and another reason was the pressure he felt from her.

This female official was a master.

Lao Fang knew in his heart that if someone who could make him feel this way really started a fight, he would probably not be able to beat her.

"Do you have wine?"

The female police chief saw the wine jar on the table, her beautiful eyes lit up slightly, she reached out to take the wine jar, after opening it, the wine aroma overflowed, a trace of surprise appeared on her face, she picked up the wine jar, took a gulp, a blush appeared on her pretty face, wiped the corners of her mouth, and couldn't help but sighed: "Good wine!"

When Li Yi walked into the store again with a plate of egg fried rice, he saw this scene.

It seems that regardless of gender, regardless of alcohol tolerance, the people of the old Li family love fine wine. This female police chief usually has a cold face like Liu Ruyi, but when she saw the fine wine, she immediately changed her appearance.

"Where did you buy this wine?" The female police chief put down the wine jar, looked up at Li Yi and asked.

"Home-brewed." Li Yi put the egg fried rice on the table in front of her, sat back to his previous position, and started eating.

The wine she just drank had been distilled several times, and it should be about 40 degrees. Lao Fang had a headache for two days a while ago, and he didn't drink for a long time. He recovered in the past few days, but it seems that he won't be able to drink this wine today.

Without waiting for the female head constable to speak again, he continued: "If you want to buy it, wait a few days, Ruyifang will sell this kind of wine."

The woman opposite heard it, and didn't ask anything else. After taking another sip of wine, she put the wine jar beside her, tasted a bite of egg fried rice, and her beautiful eyes lit up again.

He looked up at Li Yi in surprise. Whether it was Ruyi Lu, strong liquor, strange paintings on the wall or the food he had never seen before, there were quite a few strange things around this scholar...

Lao Fang was not very happy with this meal. He met a female head constable who was eating for free. The wine he had finally asked for from his son-in-law was occupied by her, and she had no intention of returning it. Originally, the meal for two people was divided into one portion by her. Lao Fang was not full, and he was depressed. Even the meal was tasteless.

After eating and drinking, the female head constable went to patrol the streets as usual. She had a good alcohol tolerance, and maybe even Lao Fang could not compare with her. She drank all the small jar of strong liquor, but she could still remain calm. She should patrol the streets. Maybe Jingguo did not have a rule that constables could not patrol the streets after drinking, but these were not what Li Yi could worry about.

After buying some things on the street, he and Lao Fang closed the shop, rented a carriage from a car dealership not far from the shop as usual, and drove out of the mansion slowly...

Back to the village, when passing by the school, Li Yi stood outside the door and listened for a while. Qin Qing was teaching the naughty children to recite "Disciples' Rules".

Education should start from childhood. Although he didn't know what kind of path they would take in the future, being looked at by pairs of Confucian eyes for so long, and being called "sir" respectfully from the heart, it was still worth it for him to do something for these children.

"The Rules for Disciples" is the enlightenment reading material chosen by Li Yi for the naughty children. It has a catchy rhythm, simple and popular text, close to vernacular. While learning calligraphy, they can also learn the principles of dealing with people and various common sense of courtesy. The naughty children are still young, and it is important to cultivate good three views. In order to prevent them from becoming people like their parents when they grow up, they must establish these correct concepts from an early age.

In order to increase the fun, Li Yi compiled all the allusions originally used in "The Rules for Disciples" into short stories. Every day, Qin Qing taught the naughty children a few sentences, and then interspersed a few stories, such as Zhou Chu's elimination of harm, fighting tigers and dragons. The naughty children like to listen to such stories the most, so that they remember them more firmly.

Of course, even in today's feudal orthodox era, Li Yi still does not want the naughty children to become people who are loyal and filial when they grow up. What he taught them has been greatly deleted and modified to conform to the mainstream Confucian thought of this era, but it will not seriously suppress the nature of the naughty children.

After listening outside the school for a while, the naughty kids were all well-behaved. Qin Qing read a sentence, and they read a sentence. The school was in good order, no different from when he was there.

Then he went to the workshop to have a look. The daily demand for Ruyi Lu was not small, but the village had limited manpower, and everyone was working hard. Fortunately, this situation should not last long. Li Xuan would send people to observe and learn the distillation method in the next two days. After a few days, the shop of Prince Ning's Mansion would open, and the pressure here would be reduced to a minimum.
