Happy Little Scholar

The girl named Xiaozhu watched Li Yi take away the remaining sweet-scented osmanthus cake together with her handkerchief, and the figure quickly disappeared from the door, with a stunned expression on her pretty face.

The story is only half told, and it stops at the most critical moment, unable to hear the rest of the story, which makes people feel itchy and uncomfortable.

"This young man doesn't mean what he says..."

She clearly said that after eating her sweet-scented osmanthus cake, she would tell a good story... The girl clenched her pink fists tightly, bit her lower lip lightly, and murmured in a low voice.

Watching the scholar accept the reward money, turn around and leave quickly, several men who were attracted by the story of "Painted Skin" also stayed in place.

"What the hell is this?"

Just as the story was tickling me, the storyteller ran away irresponsibly. Have you ever considered the feelings of the spectators?

How could this young scholar be more hateful than the old storyteller on the stage?

"Yuzhu, who is that person?" The old man who was telling the story just now came down from the stage, walked to the girl's side, glanced in the direction of the door, and asked.

Although the story hasn't been finished yet, no one here is listening to him. I wanted to come over and ask for details, but I didn't expect that the scholar who disrupted the situation slipped away so quickly.

Before the girl had time to reply, the man who was scared by her just now spoke hurriedly.

"Old man, don't talk about the story you just told. If you can tell "Painted Skin", hurry up and tell us a part. The reward is indispensable for you."

The man took out a handful of copper coins from his arms and slapped them on the table, staring at the old man closely and said.

"Yes, yes, that scholar was so unruly just now. He ran away in the middle of his speech, which made the listeners feel itchy. You should quickly continue where he left off."

There was a look of astonishment on the old man's face, and he couldn't understand what these people were saying.

"What did they let themselves talk about? What kind of skin did they have?"

Does he know what kind of skin it is?

…………

I originally wanted to come here to listen to music and watch singing and dancing, but I didn't catch the good time and met a chattering old man. The only harvest was these sweet-scented osmanthus cakes.

The sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by Wan Ruoqing is really delicious. The next time I meet her, I have to ask her how to make it. I will teach Xiaohuan when I go back. You can make more and take it with you. There is nothing in this era. There are all kinds of snacks. If you get hungry while at the county office, you can eat a few to satisfy your hunger.

There was nothing to do, so he just strolled here. This tile-roofed house can also be regarded as a large entertainment venue in Qing'an Prefecture. It is an extremely wide square with various tile-roofed houses built. In addition to large and small hooks used for performances, Outside, there were also many merchants, with a variety of goods on both sides. Li Yi stopped for a moment outside a few hook bars. There were singers, actors, swords swallowed in their mouths, and boulders broken in their chests. It was dazzling to see.

It has to be said that people in the city are more playful than the villagers in Liuye Village and know how to have fun for themselves.

Although it is still daytime, many people have gathered here, making it a good place to spend some time.

Li Yi walked around a few more places, looked at the sky, and guessed that it was almost time to get off work. After patrolling outside for so long, it was time to go home for dinner.

As he turned back and passed a certain brothel, a girl who was standing at the door to receive customers suddenly noticed and hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his arm.

"Sir, come in and play..."

The slurping sound gave Li Yi goosebumps all over his body, and he hurriedly threw his arm away from her hand.

The brothels here are not as high-end as Qunyu House. There are no courtesans to accompany you to sing poems and songs, talk about life and ideals. The purpose of men coming here is very simple, which is to satisfy their physiological needs.

Li Yi had endured more than 20 years in his previous life. He had only experienced a few months in this world, and his physiological needs were not that strong. What's more, no matter what, he couldn't tell his first time here!

The heavily made-up brothel woman saw that the handsome young man in front of her didn't seem to have that kind of intention, and wanted to give up, but she was unwilling to do so. It was difficult to meet a customer with such an outstanding appearance here, so she simply gritted her teeth and said: " Young Master, come in with me, I..., I won’t take your money.”

Although as a prostitute, she was engaged in the sex business, she would feel a little bored when facing those old and ugly clients every day. If she could go to Wushan with such a young man, she would be willing to pay him. Also willing.

Don’t charge money…

Li Yi was shocked by these words. It turned out that what Li Xuan said last time was not a lie to him. He could really go to the brothel without paying...

But the current situation is a little different. This woman with shining eyes didn't give him such a big discount because of some poem or article. It was probably because---he had the potential to be a pretty boy?

He seemed to be running away from the woman who was soliciting customers. The woman seemed to be very disappointed, and in the end she even showed her intention to pay him back. After Li Yi apologized repeatedly, he left in a hurry.

He secretly sighed in his heart, the young ladies in this world are really passionate and unrestrained...

After leaving Wa City, I no longer had any intention of shopping anymore. When I returned to the county government office, I went directly to the back office and asked Lao Fang to go back with me.

"Sir, Brother Fang went out to buy things." When Lao Fang was not there, a yamen servant ran over and said.

Lao Fang had nothing to do in the county government office all day long, but he was quite familiar with these government officials. He called them "Brother Fang" every day.

"Forget it, when he comes back, tell him that I will go back first."

Based on Li Yi's understanding of Lao Fang, after buying things on the street, he might spend a long time shopping, so he was too lazy to wait for him to come back.

He rented a carriage from the car dealership and drove slowly out of the city. At the same time, in Liuye Village, Xiaohuan looked a little anxious.

The little rabbit that her son-in-law gave her was lost.

"Why don't you go outside and look for it? Maybe it ran away because it was hungry." Liu Ruyi looked at her and comforted her.

"No, I just fed it this morning."

Xiaohuan's voice was filled with tears. She had raised the rabbit for a long time and had developed feelings for it. She was very upset when she lost it for no reason.

In the past, even if she let the rabbit out, it would only move around in the yard. Sometimes it would run out, but it would not run far and would run back on its own after a while. Today, she had searched the yard and the surroundings, but still found nothing.

"I still can't find it. Maybe it ran away secretly." Liu Ruyi walked in from outside. She had expanded the scope of the search, but still couldn't find the rabbit.

Although Xiaohuan was reluctant to believe it, she knew that the rabbit was originally caught outside, and it might have its own family. If someone wanted to separate Xiaohuan from the young lady and her husband, she would definitely be very sad.

"I hope the little rabbit can find her family..." The little maid sighed and murmured.

…………

"Sir, will I wait here tomorrow morning?" The man from the carriage company sent Li Yi to the foot of the mountain, and asked before leaving.

"No need." Li Yi waved his hand. The last time he nailed the horseshoe on the horse, the horse seemed to be scared and never ran wild in front of him again. He honestly stopped jumping around. When he went out tomorrow, he could ride it.

The man drove the carriage back, and Li Yi walked alone on the mountain road, thinking that he still had to walk a long distance to get back to the village, and he had to hurry up to realize his ideal of buying a big house in the city.

Liuye Village was a bandit village before. When the village was built, it was natural to consider whether it would be easily destroyed by the government troops. Along the way, there were rugged mountain roads. Some places could only accommodate one person and one horse. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack. As a bandit village, the location was not bad. But as a village, hiding in the mountains, it was extremely difficult to travel. It made sense that several generations were so poor.

"Hehe, Lieutenant Li, why didn't Fang Lao San follow you today?"

Li Yi walked through a dense forest and suddenly heard a sound from the forest. He paused and looked up. He saw a man walking out of the forest, looking at him with a smile.
