Happy Little Scholar

He rubbed Xiaohuan's head out of habit, but he hadn't seen her for half a month, so the familiar action felt a little strange.

The most caring one was his own maid. Just seeing her made him feel happy. Li Yi picked her up and turned her around. The little maid was so embarrassed that she couldn't even lift her head.

He pinched her little face and asked, "Did you not eat well these days? Why did you lose so much weight?"

"Really?" The little maid's eyes curved into crescents, and two shallow dimples appeared on her face.

She had some baby fat, and she always hoped to become as thin as the young lady and the second young lady, and become the pointed chin that the son-in-law liked.

"Really." He stretched out his finger and tapped her forehead, looked up at the woman who was walking towards him, and the two smiled at each other, and thousands of words were said without words.

"Yier is back." The old lady came out from inside with a smile on her face and said, "What are you doing standing outside? Come in quickly."

When she spoke, her eyes did not move away from Ruyi.

Obviously, the old lady was very satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law. Li Yi saw a hairpin on Ruyi's head that he had never seen before. It was not new either. It was very likely that the old lady gave it to her.

Giving gifts when there was a disagreement, giving anything valuable, was the old lady's habitual way of expressing love.

"Son-in-law, have you really become a viscount?" When the old lady was holding Ruyi's hand and talking, Lao Fang, who was sitting next to Li Yi, asked mysteriously.

Li Yi threw the waist card to him casually, and Lao Fang looked at it over and over again - he couldn't figure out what it meant.

Although he was illiterate, if the son-in-law said it was, it was true. It was really unpredictable. Half a year ago, he was still a poor scholar who was tied up on the mountain by himself. He suddenly became an aristocrat in the capital. Looking back, he felt quite sad.

"Don't go back after coming to the capital this time. Yi'er has been conferred a title by His Majesty and will soon be able to settle down here. You two should also consider the matter of having a child." The old lady brought up the old matter again, wishing that she could hold her great-grandson the next day.

Ruyi blushed. After the old lady finished speaking, she ordered the maid to open a small box on the table, take out all the bracelets and red hairpins inside, and try them one by one...

In the yard, several maids gathered together and whispered, occasionally looking inside.

"I heard that the young master's wife is here."

"What do you mean by heard? She is actually talking to the old lady inside."

"The young master is very handsome. I wonder what the young master's wife looks like?"

"Of course, just look at the second lady and you will know. How can the two sisters be so different?"

"I saw it. I just saw it. The young master's wife and the young master are a good match------It's a pity that we have no chance."

Since the old lady's birthday banquet last night, the young master, who had just returned to the Li family not long ago, has once again become a celebrity among the people of the Li family.

It is said that because of the young master's face, the Prince of Ning and Princess Yongle sent people to congratulate the old lady on her birthday. Master Tanyin of Hanshan Temple even came in person to present gifts. Many people said that the young master's handwriting is better than Zhao Chun's. They don't know who Zhao Chun is. They only know that the young master is much more powerful than they think.

Of course, the most shocking thing is that His Majesty actually conferred the young master a viscount title, the same as the old master, but the young master is still so young...

Li Yi cannot live in his viscount's house today. Although he also wants to, according to the rules, he needs to wait until the palace sends someone to notify him.

In the afternoon, I took Ruyi to meet my grandmother's family. They didn't know that they had become viscounts yet.

After living in the capital for decades, it would be untrue to say that I didn't feel reluctant to leave suddenly.

The old man didn't seem to care about leaving or not. He just held his and Ruyi's hands tightly together, choking and unable to speak.

A lie can't be concealed for long. Every time he avoided talking about a certain issue, the old man seemed to realize something and kept silent more and more.

When they returned to the Li family at night, the four of them were in the small courtyard, and they felt like they were at home again.

The little maid obviously held back a lot of words. After opening her mouth, she almost never stopped. Most of what she said was about some things that happened in Qing'an Mansion in the past half month after Li Yi left.

In the Lantern Festival, 6 Qiaoqiao finally won the first prize in the Oiran Contest, but the most famous one was Zeng Zuimo, the former top courtesan of Qun Yuyuan. A talented man with the same name as his son-in-law wrote many poems for her. Many people offered sky-high prices just to see her. However, she disappeared in Qing'an Prefecture after redeeming herself. The goddess of Luoshui became a legend...

This incident was probably the entertainment headline of Qing'an Prefecture during this period. Even Xiaohuan had heard about it. Of course, what interested her most was the talented man with the same name as his son-in-law...

Zeng Zuimo actually redeemed himself. Li Yi was very surprised, but thinking about it this way, all her actions had a reasonable explanation, that is, before the Oiran Contest, she had the intention to redeem herself, and did not think about improving her reputation at all, because the price of redeeming herself would be higher.

Li Yi was a little ashamed. He had good intentions, but he almost messed up her big thing. Li Yi felt that she must have scolded him behind his back.

However, she actually left Qing'an Prefecture. The chance of seeing her again in the future is probably very slim.

Thinking of this, Li Yi felt a sense of loss inexplicably.

The little maid continued: "Also, the storyteller sent a lot of money to the family..."

Old man Sun's dream of opening theaters all over the world, I don't know how far it has come. When he left, he told him not to be too eager to expand, and steady and steady is the hard truth.

In the future, I can't write scripts for him conveniently. On a whim, I wanted to show a plan similar to the entertainment industry in this world, but my plan was disrupted by this trip to Beijing.

Let Old Man Sun do all these. The old man is in good spirits and it seems that he can still struggle for many years. As for what he can develop in the end, let's wait and see...

The business of Qing'an Mansion needs to be managed by a trustworthy person. If the business in Beijing starts, whether it is Ruyi Lu, strong liquor, or the brothel that cooperates with Ning Wangfu, it will seem less important. It is better to invest all of them in other places. Maybe I have to go back once for this matter.

Most of the things Xiaohuan said were actually related to herself. As for the change of the prefect of Qing'an Prefecture and the issuance of some new decrees, these things seemed not so important.

One thing was very important. Last time, I was delayed because of my hasty trip to Beijing. This time, no reason could be an obstacle.

It was tiring enough for the little maid to run all the way. Xiaohuan fell asleep on her arm while talking. Li Yi carefully picked her up and put her on the bed in the room. He covered her with a quilt, closed the door and walked out, ready to complete the unfinished life event.

When he walked into the yard, he happened to see Ruyi being pulled back to her room by Miss Liu Er, saying that the sisters had not seen each other for half a month and had a lot to say------sisterly love is deep, this is normal.

Li Yi gritted his teeth and glared at the yard next door fiercely. He made up his mind that he would never pay back the money he owed Miss Liu Er!
