Happy Little Scholar

The farmers in Zhuangzi, where the Viscount's Mansion is located, have been living very comfortably these days.

On a hot day, there is nothing to do. It’s so relaxing to go to the newly built hook bar in front of the village to watch a show, listen to music, and spend a copper coin to buy a bowl of mung bean smoothie.

I don’t know why, even at noon, there is not much feeling of stuffiness inside Goulan, but it is very cool. The mung bean smoothie sells for ten coppers a bowl outside, and the local farmer can enjoy it for one penny. Speaking of this Sir, who in the village doesn't want to praise me?

And those villagers who helped in Goulan even saved a copper. They could even hold a piece of ice to cool their mother-in-law and children when they went home. Ice is a rare thing in hot weather. I heard that only palaces can buy it. It is only found in this village, and for this reason, the village door has received countless envious looks from neighboring villages.

The servants of the Li family are naturally the most comfortable.

Even the maid who cleans the courtyard can wrap a piece of ice in a brocade handkerchief and hide it in her arms. If she is thirsty or hot, she can go to the kitchen to get free mung bean soup, which is all iced. She can sit on the porch and enjoy the coolness while chatting. There is no need to worry about being reprimanded by the owner.

As long as your eyes are bright, your hands and feet are diligent, and you do your job well, even the most serious Butler Li will not criticize you.

Working as a servant in the Viscount's Mansion, you have more time to rest than work every day. I had never thought that being a servant could be like this. Every minute I feel as if I have reached the pinnacle of my life. I can live this way for a lifetime.

Li Yi found that he might have gotten used to being busy in Qing'an Mansion, so he felt a little itchy after only a few days of free time. While preparing for lessons, he was thinking about other things.

Li Xuan threw the account books of many shops to him, and Li Yi just flipped through them and threw them all there.

The hotter the weather, the better the sales of perfume and wishful dew, and the money is brought back by the truckload. Li Yi is considering whether to further expand the scale of the ice-making workshop. Mung bean smoothies will be sold to civilians, and ice cubes will be sold at high prices to those who are not short of money, such as dignitaries in the capital or the emperor, and they should be able to make a lot of money. Bundle.

The initial construction of Goulan is relatively expensive, and now we need to use all available means to make money.

Old Man Sun and the others have now initially established a foothold in Kyoto, but due to manpower constraints, they cannot continue to expand. It may still take a long time to reach the grand level of Qing'an Mansion.

He has always been concerned about Yongning's illness, but there has been no gratifying progress so far. She is still very resistant to outsiders and has never even said a word to him.

After sorting out his thoughts, Li Yi found that he still had a lot to do...

Just when Li Yi was writing those strange numbers and symbols on the paper, in the palace, Jin Wang Li Han ran into a palace with sweat on his head, shook a certain prince who was taking a nap, and said: "Li Xiang "Have you done all your arithmetic homework?"

"Brother Emperor, what are you doing?" A boy of about seven or eight years old said dissatisfiedly as he rubbed his sleepy eyes.

"Don't ask so many questions, tell me, have you done your arithmetic homework?" Li Han asked anxiously.

"No..." the young man said vaguely, turned around and fell asleep again.

"That's good, that's good!"

Li Han ran out quickly and quickly rushed into another palace.

Not long after, he ran out of the palace with a smile on his fat face and murmured: "Sister Shouning, Li Xiang, Li Mo, they didn't do it, and neither did anyone else, so what should I be afraid of?" , can he still beat all of us?"

For a moment, Li Han felt relaxed. He swaggered toward his palace with his hands behind his back.

The weather is as hot as ever, and today's ice cream has long been gone. There seems to be a lot of it in Yongning, but he doesn't dare to grab it anymore...

"Mr. Chang, long time no see." When he saw Chang De at the palace gate, Li Yi raised his hand to say hello.

"It's been a long time since we last saw each other. Mr. Li traveled far enough this time." Chang De said calmly.

Li Yi had long been used to the eunuch talking in such a sinister manner, and the next moment he heard him say again: "Your Majesty wants to see you, come with me."

The old emperor summoned him at the right time. He came out of home in the morning and deliberately skipped breakfast. He was really hungry now.

"Okay, no need to be more polite." When he walked into the palace, before he could salute, Emperor Jing waved his hand and asked, "Is there really something wrong with the pill I took?"

Emperor Jing was leaning on the bed, his complexion undoubtedly much different from the last time Li Yi saw him.

Li Yi looked at Li Xuan and Li Mingzhu standing by the bed, then at Emperor Jing, and said helplessly: "That elixir will not be beneficial to your Majesty's condition."

"Okay, I understand, you can go down." Emperor Jing said with an imperceptible sadness in his eyes, waving his hand.

Li Yi and the others exited the palace, and Li Xuan said: "Including the imperial physician's order, all officials of the imperial physician's office have been fined for half a year. Now that what has happened, it is impossible to hide it from the emperor."

Li Yi waved his hand, this ending is already very good. It is better to be fined for half a year than to lose his head. The officials of the Imperial Medical Office may not know how to celebrate now.

In this case, it is up to the old emperor to decide whether to take drugs or not. He is now going to deal with King Jin - to teach the princes and princesses. Yesterday, he asked Li Mingzhu to ask the old emperor for instructions. Li Yi quickly asked Walk in the direction of Bowen Hall.

At this time, in the hall, Emperor Jing looked in a certain direction and murmured, "Is the so-called immortality really an illusion?"

"Your Majesty, don't you already have the answer in your heart?" A voice came from there, and a middle-aged Taoist priest in a green Taoist robe walked out from behind the hall pillar.

The middle-aged Taoist priest had black hair, ruddy complexion, and no wrinkles, but the vicissitudes of life in his eyes were very inconsistent with his appearance.

"How is it?" Emperor Jing retracted his gaze from elsewhere and looked at him and asked.

"I can't see clearly." The middle-aged Taoist priest shook his head and said.

Emperor Jing was suspicious: "Is there anyone that Taoist Yuan can't see clearly?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and said, "The way of heaven is unpredictable. I can see one or two out of ten thousand, which is a great fortune. What's more, since Your Majesty has decided to let me see him, then what difference does it make to Your Majesty whether I see him or not?"

This time, Emperor Jing did not ask again. The expression on his face was thoughtful, and the hall fell into a long silence again.

It was not hot in the Bowen Hall today. The princes and princesses were privileged after all. Huge ice cubes were placed in the ice jar. In the four corners of the hall, eunuchs held huge feather fans and fanned the air with all their might. The hall was naturally cool and breezy, which made the princes feel that this place was much better than the palace they lived in.

"Today is the first class. Let's hand in the homework I left a few months ago." Li Yi sat in the front and glanced at the princes and princesses and said.

Jin Wang Li Han sat below and pulled his mouth with disdain.

No one took your words seriously. Let's see how you end it later!

At this time, Princess Shouning stood up and walked up with a thin book in her hand.

Then it was Fu Wang Li Xiang.

Shou Wang Li Mo.

Chengyang Princess.

Yongtai Princess.

...

...

Li Han looked stupidly at his brothers and sisters who walked up and handed the thin book in their hands to the teacher, and was stunned for a moment.

"Liar, all liars!"

After a moment, his expression turned angry, and when Li Yi looked at him, the anger immediately turned into fear...

"Your Highness Prince Jin, what about yours?"

When this devilish voice came, Prince Jin couldn't help but shudder, and no longer considered the issue of trust between people, because that thin booklet had been torn into pieces along with the textbook a few months ago...
