Happy Little Scholar

On the seventh day of July, after the three princes of Qi State left Kyoto, the remaining envoys of Qi State who stayed in Jing State soon embarked on their return journey.

This invisible confrontation between the two countries still ended in Qi's disastrous defeat.

The war was defeated, both the civil and military tests were unsuccessful, and one of the envoys actually died in an internal fight. This time, the envoys of Qi State were completely humiliated and had no face to stay in the capital of Jing State. They hurriedly left early the next morning. Leaving Beijing.

When their carriages and horses left the city, although the streets in Kyoto were not deserted, the onlookers also blocked the streets at the entrance of the city.

For most people in Jingguo, it seems that Jingguo has been suppressed by Qi in all aspects since they were born. Over time, they have become accustomed to this.

However, all this changed in the second year of Jinghe.

From the beginning of the year to now, everything that has happened related to Qi State has happened one after another. After careful consideration, the people of Jing State were surprised to find that Qi State did not seem to be so terrible...

Whether on the battlefield or elsewhere, the people of Qi will be defeated and defeated. It is not as difficult to defeat as they imagined.

Under the dazzling light of His Majesty today, Jingguo seems to have become more powerful than ever before. There is County Uncle Li in literature, Crown Prince Li Xuan in military affairs, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. Although the three of them are still very young, they have been greatly affected by this incident. CUHK has shone brightly and entered the eyes of the people of Kyoto.

The legendary stories of the three people are circulating everywhere in the streets and alleys. Uncle Li is talented, His Royal Highness is a god in military warfare, and the eldest princess has unparalleled martial arts skills, and she is not inferior to other women...

Of course, this does not exclude the court’s intentional guidance.

Winning or losing is naturally important, but more importantly, we must let the people of Kyoto and even the entire Jingguo know that they won, and they won beautifully. We must let them know that His Majesty is wise and great. Under the wise and mighty Majesty and the outstanding ability, Under the leadership of the courtiers, this country is getting better and better, its national strength is prosperous, talents are emerging in large numbers, and it has reached a new level...

…

…

The talented County Uncle Li didn't know that he was already very popular in Kyoto. He was standing in the yard and watching more than a dozen eunuchs moving boxes one by one from outside.

The little princess wants to leave the palace to come here for treatment, but it is a big deal. There are regulations on food and use, so there is no way to do it casually. Although the little princess will only arrive tomorrow, early this morning, the people in the palace are with the count. The front door of the house was busy with people moving in and out, going back and forth to the small courtyard he had set aside for Yongning. It was annoying to watch.

"Uncle Li County, this is a gift from Her Royal Highness the Princess." When the two eunuchs brought in a big box again, they walked up to Li Yi and said without moving it into the small courtyard.

Li Mingzhu had nothing to give her any gifts. Li Yi opened the box and looked at it. He was also surprised by the treasures inside. He wanted to express his gratitude for nothing. It was either this or that... In short, Her Royal Highness the Princess suddenly became so generous. He was not used to it for a while.

"Did your Highness the Princess say anything else?" Li Yi asked, looking at the two of them.

"No." The two shook their heads.

"Then let's move in first." Li Yi waved his hand. There is no reason not to accept the gift he sent to her door. When we meet next time, I will ask her what kind of gift she gave. By the way, there is also the matter of Tai Chi. I also returned it yesterday. I didn't have time to ask her.

With Uncle Li watching over the house, there won't be any problems. Chinese Valentine's Day is a women's festival, and Miss Liu Er is unusually not busy today. She went to the temple with Ruyi Xiaohuan, and there were a series of activities when she came back, which had nothing to do with her. , he planned to see how Zeng Zuimo's bra was doing.

When I walked out of the mansion, I saw a figure lingering under some willow trees opposite the gate. I walked over and asked in confusion: "Why are you here?"

Hearing Li Yi's voice, Liu Yishou stopped hurriedly and opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything. The expression on his face was a little awkward.

"Why, encountered another difficult case?" Li Yi looked at him and asked.

Liu Yishou was no stranger to this state. When he was in Qing'an Mansion, he would always have this expression every time he encountered a difficult situation and a case came to him.

Seeing the embarrassed expression on his face again, Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't be impatient. Investigate the most suspects one by one. You can't rush things like investigating cases. I really can't figure it out. Let's go out for a walk." , listen to the play, relax your mind, and you may have unexpected gains.”

Speaking of investigating cases, this kind of thing relies not only on ability, but also on luck and inspiration. Those basic things have been taught to him. Now, Li Yi can't help him much in these matters.

Liu Yishou was stunned for a moment and asked: "Didn't your Excellency say before that murderers often hide very deeply? We need to dig out deep-seated clues and don't be fooled by appearances. The most suspicious person is often not the murderer..."

"Did I say that?" Li Yi looked at him and asked.

"Yes." Liu Yishou nodded seriously.

"really have?"

"really have……"

…

…

"Wrong logic." Li Yi glanced at him and said, "In the future, don't go to Goulan to listen to stories or plays. They are all deliberately made up with bizarre twists and turns to attract customers. How can it be so bloody in reality? Investigate the case in a down-to-earth manner. Trust your own intuition. Whoever you think is the most suspicious will be close to ten..."

After Liu Yishou was stunned, he said: But didn't your Excellency just say, "If you are in a hurry about investigating a case, you really can't figure it out. You can go out for a walk and listen to the show..."

"Did I say that?" Li Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

"Just now..." Liu Yishou opened his mouth and looked up at Li Yi. After a moment, he smiled bitterly and said, "No..."

"That's right..." Li Yi nodded with satisfaction, patted his shoulder, and said, "The truth cannot be covered up. Believe in yourself... I have something else to do, so I won't keep you any longer. I'm leaving."

Liu Yishou smiled bitterly as he watched Li Yi get on the carriage. When he looked back again, a thoughtful look appeared on his face. After a while, this thought turned into enlightenment.

"Thank you for your advice, sir!"

He bowed in the direction of the mansion gate, turned around and got on another carriage. A man in gray gently whipped the whip, and the carriage quickly disappeared...

When Li Yi walked into the small courtyard, Xiao Cui and Xiao Zhu were climbing up and down a temporary colorful pavilion, tying colorful ribbons to wood while chattering about something.

"Where are your young ladies?" Li Yi asked while standing under the colorful pavilion.

"Sister Ruoqing is out, my young lady is painting in the room." Xiao Cui looked down and said, "We haven't finished the work yet, Mr. Li, go find it yourself..."

She said halfway, as if she thought of something, and immediately shut her mouth, hurried down the colorful building, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go tell the young lady."

This time there was no accident. When Li Yi walked into the room, Zeng Zuimo was dressed well and was painting on the prayer lantern.

Seeing Li Yi walk in, she didn't even raise her head and said, "What's the matter, tell me."

"What do you think about the bra?" Li Yi didn't mind her attitude, and walked over and said.

"Bah! Obscene!" Zeng Zuimo blushed, glanced at Xiao Cui, and saw that she was still confused, so he said: "Wait a minute, I'll finish painting these prayer lanterns first."

"It's still a long time before night, why rush?" Li Yi was going to go to the brothel later, and said: "It's still in time to paint later."

Xiao Cui stood behind him, pouted, and said: "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl can only meet once a year, and it's not easy to get to the Qixi Festival. Mr. Li, please wait a little longer. The lady will finish painting soon. The prayer lanterns are very important. If you delay, the Weaver Girl will not bless you..."

She wanted to say that if she delayed, the Weaver Girl would not bless her to find her ideal husband, but she remembered halfway that it was not appropriate to say these words to Li Yi, so she immediately closed her mouth and her cheeks flushed.

"What do you mean they meet once a year..." Li Yi shook his head, looked at her and said, "One day in heaven is one year on earth, and July is a whole month. In heaven, it's just a short time at noon. The Weaver Girl sees the Cowherd every day. Maybe she's tired of seeing him. How can she be in the mood to bless you..."

"One day in heaven is one year on earth..." After hearing Li Yi's words, Xiao Cui's expression froze. The old people in the brothels often said this. She blinked and thought about it, and found that what Mr. Li said---seemed to be really reasonable.

She suddenly felt a little discouraged, and immediately became less excited about the Qixi night that she had been looking forward to for a long time...
