Happy Little Scholar
Chapter 178: The Emperor’s Grace
The two eunuchs who delivered the imperial edict could not stand Li Yi's extremely resentful eyes. After announcing the imperial edict and rewarding, they could not wait to leave the courtyard and galloped away on their horses.
This time, they still did not receive any thank-you gifts. They no longer cared about this. They just hoped that they would not encounter such a hard job again in the future...
In fact, Li Yi wanted to give the two eunuchs who delivered the imperial edict a little bit of appreciation at the beginning. After all, they came from the capital and were tired all the way. It would not be too painful to give away dozens of 10,000 taels of gold.
But who would have thought that 10,000 taels would become one tael. Wouldn't it be a loss to give more?
He didn't know that those who received rewards in the past valued the emperor's gift itself, and didn't pay much attention to money. From ancient times to the present, I am afraid that only he has such an alternative idea in his heart.
The long-awaited Jinshan flew away, and Li Yi was a little disappointed. It was a false joy. He felt a little disappointed. It was true that those who read less would suffer. Who knew that even the rewards here were so routine. Ten thousand gold coins were ten thousand copper coins. It was so empty and pretentious. Why didn't he just say "reward ten thousand copper coins"?
Forget it, since the emperor thought that his life was only worth one or two gold coins and a few acres of land, what else could he say?
It seems that we can't expect pie in the sky. A happy life must be created with our own hands...
When Liu Ruyi and her three daughters walked to the door of their home, the people outside the door had not dispersed yet.
Looking through the gate, you can still see a pile of neatly placed cloths. I heard from the adult who read the imperial edict just now that His Majesty the Emperor also rewarded Ruyi's husband with a full hundred acres of good land. You must know that good land is not like the land in the village. It produces more grain every year. If there were so many good lands in the village, the previous life would not have been like that.
"Ruyi is back!"
Seeing Liu Ruyi and her sister coming over, everyone hurriedly made way for them, looking at them with envy in their eyes.
The two helpless children in the past have now become successful, and no one can bully them casually.
"Ruyi is back."
"Go back quickly, another person from the capital just came to your house!"
"This time he gave you a lot of good things!"
"..."
Everyone was talking at once, with expressions of envy and awe.
It is said that the emperor's grace is great, but why does it always fall on Ruyi's son-in-law?
It has only been a few days, and His Majesty the Emperor has granted him an official position and land. Ruyi's husband has received "holy favor". He will be a high official in the future, and they may also get some light.
Thinking of their previous embarrassment for Ruyi and her sister, some people regretted it.
At the beginning... they were really blind!
Liu Ruyi saw so many people gathered at the door at first, and thought something big had happened at home. She was a little anxious. After listening to them, she was relieved, said a few polite words to everyone, and hurried into the yard.
Xiaohuan was holding the things she had bought at the foot of the mountain in her arms, and she hurried into the yard. She tripped over the threshold without paying attention. Fortunately, Liu Ruyi supported her in time.
Li Yi stood in the yard, looking at the pile of copper coins, and the more he looked, the angrier he got.
If he kept it, he would always think of this infuriating thing. If he threw it away..., he couldn't bear to...
"Husband, this is..."
Liu Ruyi walked into the yard, and the first thing she saw was the silk cloth. She walked to Li Yi, and her pretty face was full of confusion.
She knew that Li Yi was rewarded with the title of county lieutenant, and it seemed that it was because he wrote an article------Why this time?
Originally, she just thought that maybe her whole life could be plain and simple, but since a decision made a few months ago, her whole life has changed dramatically, and she is a little uncomfortable.
"I accidentally did something that benefited the people, and these are all rewards from His Majesty the Emperor." Li Yi sighed and said.
"How can you say that you benefited the people..." Liu Ruyi smiled. She was used to Li Yi's words, and asked in confusion: "Since it is a reward, why is your husband frowning?"
"Too little..." Li Yi's voice came slowly.
The expression on Liu Ruyi's pretty face froze. She actually complained that the emperor's last time was too little?
If the current emperor knew his idea, would he take back the reward?
However, thinking that he was reluctant to be appointed as an official last time, it is not so strange to have such an idea.
Xiaohuan looked at the fine silk cloth in the yard and muttered to herself. If she had known that there were so many fabrics at home, she would not have bought them in the city just now. She worked hard to carry them up, and found that there was already a pile of fine silk cloth in the yard.
So much cloth is enough for the three women in the family to make hundreds of sets of clothes. Li Yi did not plan to keep the things given by the emperor at home, and there was no spare space. He asked Xiaohuan to give a piece to each of the sisters he knew well. There were still many left, and he planned to take them down the mountain to sell them when he had a chance. The silk cloth given by the emperor should be sold at a higher price, right?
The emperors of Jingguo have never been so narcissistic that they have to ask others to keep the things they have given. It is not uncommon to give the emperor's rewards to others or sell them for money. Although the emperor always feels uncomfortable when he knows about it, it is not a crime.
There is only half a month left before he takes office. In recent days, Liu Ruyi has obviously been much stricter in his training.
In addition to some basic skills, Li Yi has recently spent about an hour every day to learn a set of swordsmanship.
The position of county lieutenant is still somewhat dangerous. It is better to improve your combat effectiveness. In case of an accident, you still need to have some self-protection ability.
Fortunately, although the growth of true qi is slow, the speed of learning moves is still very scary. Li Yi only needs to read a sword manual once and he can imitate it in a similar way.
Of course, it is only similar in appearance. In Liu Ruyi's opinion, it is full of loopholes. Every time she sees it, she will point it out for him mercilessly.
If there are mistakes, they must be corrected. In martial arts, Liu Ruyi can't tolerate any sand in her eyes. Li Yi was still mocking Liu Taiyi before, and this time he finally understood his previous mood.
Whether she is really strict or revengeful, at least she is very responsible in teaching him martial arts. Li Yi didn't care about the previous things. He just asked her a question about whether the chicken or the egg came first, and then walked out of the yard slowly.
"Son-in-law, you are here?"
Walking through half of the village, he walked into a relatively dilapidated courtyard. An old man with gray hair was sitting in the courtyard, holding carpentry tools in his hands, busy with something.
Hearing the sound, he turned around and saw Li Yi. The old man immediately put down the workman in his hand, stood up and said with a smile.
"Han Bo, how is the thing I asked you to make last time?" Li Yi put down the bag of rice and flour in his hand and asked with a smile.
Han Bo was the carpenter who helped him make the rocking chair. In fact, at his age, he is far from being an old man in the future. It's just that the average life expectancy of people in this era is not long. After the age of 30, they can touch their beards and call themselves "old man". Perhaps because of the hardships in their lives, Han Bo is in his early 50s, his hair is already gray, and the whole person looks much older.
"It's been ready for a long time, just waiting for son-in-law to come and pick it up." Han Bo smiled and said kindly.
