Happy Little Scholar

Li Yi was very melancholy, very melancholy. 』

Just a few months ago, he was living a life of eating and waiting to die. He lay in the yard basking in the sun every day, teasing the little maids, telling stories to the naughty children, and fighting for the last piece of chicken and tenderloin on the plate. The leisurely life of the second young lady battling wits and courage.

I don’t know when this all started to change.

The money he makes is getting more and more, the people he knows are more and more distinguished, the money at home is piled up like a mountain, and he talks and laughs with the princess and the prince all day long. The carriage of life starts to go in the direction that he did not expect, and the horse rides away from the dust. , I can’t even pull it back.

I thought I could make some money and be rich - I was kidnapped a few days ago and almost lost my life. This time, dozens of people came to kill me. I have never experienced such an exciting thing in my life...

Gunpowder has been revealed, and new troubles are coming one after another. Although I don't know how much the emperor will attach importance to this thing, no matter what the outcome is, it is probably impossible for him to live as before.

Moreover, what happened today also gave him a warning.

Whether it is cooperation with Prince Ning's Mansion or friendship with Li Xuan, they are all illusory. If used as a trump card, sooner or later he will die miserably.

I used to be really lazy and used to think simply when thinking about things, but now it seems that I am a bit too naive.

…

…

The oil lamp on the table exploded into a lantern. Li Yi rubbed his swollen eyebrows, and the area on his lower abdomen that had been injured began to hurt again.

After all, his injury has not completely healed, and it is not suitable for too strenuous movements. However, today he has no choice. He has been running around. In order to make gunpowder in a hurry, he has not even had time to take a bite of food. At this moment, the old injury There were signs of recovery, and there was unbearable hunger in the belly, and there was also a weak labor pain in the back of the neck.

Li Yi touched the back of his head, a look of shame and annoyance appeared on his face.

Today, in front of so many people, I was knocked unconscious by Ruyi. It was a great shame and humiliation.

If he can't revive his husband, he won't want to hang out in this family in the future.

Of course, knocking him out is not the point. The point is that her attitude towards the whole thing is really annoying.

There was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door, and then the door was pushed open. Liu Ruyi walked in with a tray in her hand, placed a bowl of steaming plain porridge on the table, and said softly: "Uncle Fang said that my husband I haven’t eaten all day, I just cooked some porridge, please drink it while it’s hot.”

Li Yi looked up at her without speaking or making any move.

Liu Ruyi knew that he was angry. Thinking of what he had said just now, such as "we will settle the accounts later," her eyes were a little dodgey and she said, "My husband, please remember to have some porridge early. I will leave first."

When she was about to open the door and escape, an arm stretched out from behind and pressed against the door. She turned around in a panic and almost touched the tip of Li Yi's nose.

"Don't you have anything to say to me?" At this time, in the room with flickering lights, the postures of the young men and women resembled a movement called "bidong" in later generations. Judging from the situation at this time, it was said that It should be more appropriate to call it "Men Dong".

The expression on Li Yi's face was very serious, without a trace of cynicism. Liu Ruyi's answer was very important to him.

"It's very late, sir... Sir, please rest early." The expression on Liu Ruyi's pretty face became even more panicked. When she was about to escape from the other side, Li Yi's other hand pressed over.

The palm that should have been pressed against the door was pressed against her chest because of her sudden movement.

Liu Ruyi's body froze, and after a startled expression on her face, her pretty face immediately turned red. She raised her head and looked at Li Yi, her voice was trembling and she was about to cry, "Mr., Mr. Xian..."

At this time, she was just a shy ordinary woman, how could she look like a great master?

However, when she raised her head and looked into Li Yi's eyes, she saw something different from before in his eyes as deep as a pool of water.

Understanding the hidden emotion in Li Yi's eyes made her body tremble, and her face gradually turned from blushing to pale.

It seems that something extremely important to her is leaving her...

"I..." She bit her lower lip tightly, lowered her head and said, "I know I was wrong."

…

…

Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and something seemed to be relieved in his heart.

He looked at her and asked, "Tell me, what's wrong?"

After finishing speaking, I found something wrong with the touch of one palm. When I looked down, I couldn't help but be startled.

No wonder my hands feel so soft...

"I shouldn't have knocked my husband unconscious." She said softly before raising her drooped head.

"What else?" He couldn't back down at this time. Li Yi pretended not to notice that a hand was placed where it shouldn't be, and continued to ask.

Although she shouldn't have knocked herself unconscious, this was only a superficial reason. As the saying goes, husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they will be separated... Bah!

Husband and wife are one body. If there are any difficulties, we can discuss them together and solve them. There is no need for masculinity. She knocked herself unconscious and sent her down the mountain at this moment. Did she never regard herself as her husband?

"Also..." Liu Ruyi thought for a moment and said, "I should not make the decision on my own and give those who leave ten taels of silver per household as settling-in allowance..."

"What?"

Li Yi's eyes widened, "Ten taels of silver as settling-in allowance?"

He calculated in his mind that if each household of the Liu clan and the villagers spent ten taels of silver, wouldn't that mean nearly three hundred taels of silver would have been spent today?

This prodigal woman, three hundred taels of silver, how many times would he have to blackmail Li Xuan to earn it back?

It's over, with this gift, the back garden of the mansion was given away.

Li Yi felt extremely painful.

"Anyway, they are also dragged down by me..." Liu Ruyi sighed and said.

"Forget it, this won't happen again." Three hundred taels of silver is three hundred taels of silver. If the silver is gone, it can be earned back. After those people left, it will be quiet in the future.

Liu Ruyi lowered her head, and Li Yi's hand was placed on her chest. When the two stopped talking and diverted their attention, the atmosphere gradually became awkward.

The stomach growled twice, Li Yi pretended to be casual and took his hand away from her chest. Liu Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Husband, drink the porridge quickly, it will be cold soon."

Li Yi nodded. He was indeed a little unbearably hungry now. After the scene just now gradually faded in his mind, his appetite also recovered a lot.

He quickly finished the porridge, touched his lower abdomen, and frowned slightly.

"Is the wound area starting to hurt again?" Liu Ruyi asked worriedly.

"A little." Li Yi said.

"Husband, lie on the bed first, and I will use my true energy to comb your meridians." Liu Ruyi put away the dishes and said.

Whenever Ruyi helped him comb his meridians, it was probably the most comfortable time for Li Yi. Her hands seemed to have some kind of magic that could reduce the pain to the minimum.

Li Yi lay on the bed with his eyes closed. While enjoying it in his heart, the fatigue brought by running around all day gradually came.

When Liu Ruyi took back her hand, she saw him breathing evenly and had fallen asleep. She was stunned for a moment, and a blush suddenly appeared on her pretty face. She turned her head and looked around for a few times, took off her embroidered shoes, curled up at the foot of the bed, bent her slender legs, hugged her arms, and quietly looked at his stretched eyebrows.

Her pretty face was sometimes shy and sometimes confused. After an unknown period of time, she looked at the direction of the door like a thief, lay down beside Li Yi, slept with her clothes on, turned her head to look at him, and slowly closed her eyes.

At this time, the girl sitting in the yard stared at the full moon in the sky, and occasionally glanced at the door not far away, until the lights in the room went out and no one came out. A trace of surprise appeared on her pretty face, and her beautiful eyes suddenly widened...

[ps: After considering for half an hour, I decided to use this chapter title. After all, sleeping together is different from consummating the marriage. The latter is a chapter title for a while, so it should not be considered a title party...]
