Happy Little Scholar

Li Yi's feelings for Qing'an Prefecture are naturally not comparable to those of Kyoto.

Even though Kyoto is more prosperous than here, it does not have Liuye Village, Ruyifang, Goulan, or theaters. Even the name of the brothel does not sound as good as Qunyuyuan.

After two months of running around, Li Yi had enough fun, but he was also exhausted. Now he just wanted to go home as soon as possible and have a good sleep on that familiar bed.

The carriage went straight into the city gate. Li Yi did not know how many times he had walked this street. In two or three months, even the street vendors had not changed much. Li Yi even saw a big bull in a constable's uniform wandering on the road. The door of Ruyifang was closed. The fat shopkeeper of the cloth shop next door moved a chair and sat at the door of the store, continuing to sigh for the deserted business in the store------everything was the same as when he left.

The honest man left halfway, and Li Yi had to drive by himself. The carriage finally stopped in front of a large mansion. There were no adults at the door, but a few half-grown children were playing.

Lao Fang left Kyoto earlier than them to take everyone here. Now two months have passed. They must have arrived in Kyoto a long time ago, but this place doesn't look like it's uninhabited. I don't know why.

Seeing Li Yi and the others get off the car, the children immediately stopped playing and hid behind the gate. When they saw them coming inside, they immediately scattered and ran deeper into the courtyard.

As soon as the four of them stepped into the house, a figure came out from inside. The girl named Yang Liuqing was slightly startled, and then said in surprise: "Master, uncle, you are back!"

------

The room and the yard are cleaned every day, even cleaner and tidier than when Li Yi left. Yang Liuqing learned that after Lao Fang and the others left, the task of looking after the house was given to her and the children.

These orphans no longer have to beg for a living. The more honest ones do some simple work in the theater, and the rest are not idle. The older children take their younger brothers and sisters out to sell candied haws every day. The money they earn is enough to support all of them and there is a surplus.

"Master, after you left, Mr. Sun from the theater and the steward of the palace will send some silver every half a month. It's all here." Yang Liuqing asked several boys to move a few boxes out of the room and explained.

Li Yi was not surprised that the Ning Palace would send money every once in a while. For the other money, Li Yi remembered that when he left, he asked them to use it all to run the theater. The only one who had the power to decide who the money belonged to was Wan Ruoqing.

However, when he came here, he heard that the theater of Mr. Sun and his team had opened all over Qing'an Prefecture. It seems that the profit brought by the theater is more than he imagined. Under the premise of ensuring continued expansion, there can still be so much surplus.

He didn't need so much money for the time being. If nothing unexpected happened, the perfume business he was cooperating with Li Xuan and the princess in the capital should be booming now. In the future, money would only flow into the family, and no matter how much money he had, it would not be of much use.

I thought I would have to clean up after returning, but I didn't expect to have such a diligent nephew. Li Yi could lie down and sleep when he returned to the room. In the past two months, under the guidance of the cheating map, he didn't happen to encounter an inn every day. Sometimes he had to sleep in the wild. Later, Li Yi simply made a few simple tents, but how could a tent be as comfortable as a bed?

Even the quilt had just been dried in the sun. He was too lazy to take off his clothes, shoes and socks, and lay down directly.

After two months of bumps and displacement, there were few such comfortable moments. After a while, he fell into a deep sleep.

When he opened his eyes again, the fatigue accumulated in these days was swept away. He walked out of the room and found that the sky was getting dark.

Yang Liuqing was practicing sword alone in the yard. Although Miss Liu Er had not officially acknowledged this disciple, she would teach her a few moves from time to time before. Although the two were not in name of master and disciple, they were in fact master and disciple.

So Li Yi also picked up a cheap nephew for nothing.

Although his uncle's ability might be probably or maybe------Okay, Li Yi admitted that he really couldn't beat Yang Liuqing, but who made him have a powerful sister-in-law?

For Yang Liuqing, Li Yi still had some appreciation and even admiration in his heart.

Among the people he knew, if she was second in persistence and diligence, no one could be called the first.

In the days when Miss Liu Er did not agree to accept her as a disciple, she came here to clean up early in the morning and left in the evening. She persisted for a long time. Whenever she had free time, she was seen practicing sword outside. The frequency was not only far more than Li Yi himself, but even Miss Liu Er was not as good as her.

Perhaps this was one of the reasons why Miss Liu Er changed her original intention.

Seeing Li Yi coming out of the room, Yang Liuqing hurriedly stopped and said, "Master and uncle have returned to Liuye Village. Let me wait for you to wake up and tell you."

Li Yi nodded, indicating that he knew.

Liuye Village is where Ruyi and the others grew up. Of course, they have to go and see it this time. Even Xiaohuan mentioned it countless times along the way. I'm afraid there won't be so many opportunities to come back in the future. On the way here, they agreed that they would stay in the village for a few days this time.

Liuye Village carries too much for them. This is the childhood memory of the three sisters. Li Yi doesn't plan to join in the fun.

He slept for a long time and felt a little hungry. He planned to go out and find something to eat.

He used to walk the road from the house to Ruyifang out of habit, and now is no exception. Ruyifang is not open, and Li Yi does not plan to cook by himself. He enters from the entrance of the nearby Wa City and walks to the door of a courtyard. He finds that the door is only half-closed. Li Yi pushes the door gently and enters. There is a faint light coming out of the inner room. He originally planned to go in, but suddenly he seemed to smell something and sniffed. The next moment, a surprised expression immediately appeared on his face.

He did not choose to go straight, but turned into a small room next to him. After entering, he found that this was the kitchen. At this time, the sky was darker. Although it was not pitch black in front of him, it was difficult to see things clearly.

Fortunately, what Li Yi was looking for was not difficult to find. He followed the smell and opened a food box on the table. The long-lost familiar smell immediately became strong.

Osmanthus cake, osmanthus cake made by Wan Ruoqing, Li Yi will never forget this taste.

He was a little hungry, so he couldn't wait to pick up a piece, then the second piece, the third piece, the fourth piece...

At this time, Li Yi, who was focusing all his attention on the food in front of him, didn't realize that a delicate figure had quietly come behind him.

Looking at the shadow in the kitchen, the girl showed a horrified expression on her face, holding the wooden stick tightly in her hand, and quietly approached the shadow.

There is a thief!

This was her first feeling!

Come in without saying hello, hiding in the kitchen in a sneaky way, who else could it be but a thief?

As long as she shouted a few times, someone next door would hear it, rush over to catch the little thief and send him to the government, but before that, she had to teach this daring guy a lesson.

Finally, she walked to the shadow with her back to her, gritted her teeth, raised the wooden stick in her hand, and swung it hard at the little thief!
