The first thousand one hundred and ninety-six chapters if life is just like first sight
Qing'an Mansion is the second largest city in Jingguo after Kyoto. In recent years, it has become increasingly prosperous.
Of course, the name of the second largest city may no longer be worthy of its name. Today's Qing'an Prefecture is inferior to Shuzhou Prefecture in terms of population and economy, but its status in the hearts of the people of Jingguo is still not low.
The small Anxi County Government is regarded as a paradise by many officials.
There used to be a policeman here who became the Minister of the Ministry of Justice.
There was once a county magistrate here who was promoted to the Yin of Jingzhao.
One of the head catchers here served as the auxiliary princess.
A county captain here was named a one-character king.
The local official positions in Qing'an Prefecture have been regarded as a kind of springboard by the imperial court. Any officials who have completed their qualifications here will eventually rise to the top and be transferred to Kyoto.
Today is the happy day of Anxi County Magistrate Jiang Zian.
Of course, this joy is not the joy of a wedding, but the joy of a promotion.
Jiang Zian, the magistrate of Anxi County, was appointed as the magistrate of the capital one day ago due to his outstanding performance in office in the past few years and will be transferred to Kyoto in the near future.
"Congratulations, Mr. Jiang!"
"Congratulations to Lord Xijiang on his promotion!"
"Your Excellency, you will definitely be able to stand alone in the world when you go here. One day, I hope that Mr. Jiang will help you a lot..."
"Ashamed, ashamed, colleagues, please take a seat quickly..."
…
In a restaurant in Anxi County, Jiang Zi An was entertaining guests with a smile on his face.
At the door of the restaurant, a man carrying a baggage looked at the young man next to him and asked, "Uncle, do you want to come in and say hello?"
Li Yi smiled, shook his head and said, "No, let's go."
Today is Jiang Zian's big day. If he went in to say hello, what he would receive would not be a surprise, but a shock.
In the restaurant, Jiang Zian was socializing with several officials. When he glanced at the door of the restaurant inadvertently, he was suddenly startled, then put down his wine glass and ran over quickly.
He ran out of the restaurant and stood on the street, looking around blankly, but he could only see the bustling crowd.
Someone hurried out of the restaurant and asked with concern: "Mr. Jiang, what's wrong?"
Jiang Zian stopped on the street for a long time, then shook his head and said: "It's okay, let's go in..."
When he walked into the restaurant, there was still a look of confusion on his face.
He had really seen the figure of His Highness King Jing just now, but when he chased him out, there was nothing...
"It must be an illusion..." He smiled, turned to everyone and said, "Colleagues, Jiang is here to do the first thing out of respect!"
…
Ruyi Square.
Ruyifang is the most famous perfume shop in Qing'an Prefecture. The perfumes produced there have long-lasting aroma and pleasant taste, and are very popular among women.
Lao Fang stood at the door of Ruyifang, looked at Li Yi, and said with a smile: "Uncle, what the second lady said was right. Ruyifang sounds much better than your name of Liushenfang. If you had insisted on calling it Liushenfang,
Business is definitely not that good now.”
Li Yi didn't know if the store's business would have been so good if he had insisted on calling it Liushenfang, but he certainly wasn't doing so well. After all, he couldn't afford to offend Ruyi at that time.
Of course, he still couldn't afford to offend Ruyi now.
When Li Yi walked into Ruyifang, a young girl immediately came forward and asked with a smile: "This young master, what do you want to see?"
"just looking around."
Li Yi smiled and walked towards the back house.
Behind the shop is a small courtyard. For a long time, Li Yi would lie under the pear tree in the courtyard. There would often be a head lying there on the wall, listening to him telling ghost stories. At that time, Xiaozhu,
Before the bartending skills like now, a painted story could scare her into falling off the wall...
At that time, Ruo Qing and Zui Mo lived next to each other...
That was probably a rare and pleasant time in his life.
While Li Yi was thinking about this, the girl's voice gradually became clearer in his ears: "Young Master, Young Master, you can't come in here..."
When the girl saw the young man walking straight into the back house, and being blocked by the big man, the girl hurried back and said anxiously: "Shopkeeper, come out quickly..."
Soon, an old man hurried over with a slightly angry look on his face: "You..."
He only said two words, then stood there, his body trembling, kneeling on the ground, and said loudly: "See His Highness King Jing..."
The girl was stunned, her face turned pale, her knees softened, and she was about to kneel down when Li Yi supported her in time.
He helped the old man up and said with a smile, "No need to be polite."
The girl looked at him and trembled: "Jing, His Highness King Jing..."
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a tiger." Li Yi looked at her, smiled, and said, "You did a good job..."
He turned to look at the old man and said with a smile: "Give this girl ten times the monthly salary."
"Yes..." The old man responded in a daze, and Li Yi and Lao Fang had already walked out.
When the two of them came back to their senses, they hurriedly ran over, but the figure they had just seen was gone.
A look of reverence appeared on the girl's face, and she asked: "The shopkeeper, is that His Highness King Jing? He is so young..."
There was a look of memory on the old man's face and he said: "Although I have only met His Highness once, I will never forget it in my life..."
The girl thought for a while and then tentatively said: "Then what His Highness just said is ten times the amount..."
The old man knocked her on the head and said: "Your Highness has said it, so of course you are indispensable..."
…
Outside Qing'an City, Lijia Village.
Li Yi stopped in front of an isolated grave for a long time and cleared away the few weeds on the grave.
This is the tomb of his father whom he has never met. Jingguo has a custom of not moving tombs easily. Over the years, he has not made any grand repairs. He only told the old village leader not to let anyone approach this place.
Lao Fang stood in front of a dilapidated house and said, "Uncle, you used to live here, and it's not much better than where we live..."
Li Yi didn't have much emotion about the house in Lijiacun.
But this is the starting point of his life, so it is of great significance. I passed by this time, so I stopped by to take a look.
"You two, what are you doing!"
A hoarse voice suddenly came from behind the two of them.
Li Yi turned his head and saw an old man with white hair and beard, with a stooped body, walking slowly towards this side.
A smile appeared on his face and he said: "Old Muramasa, long time no see..."
"What did you say?" The old man squinted his eyes, looked at him closely, and said loudly: "Louder, I can't hear you!"
Old Muramasa obviously did not recognize him and did not hear what he said clearly. Li Yi came closer and said slightly louder: "Old Muramasa, don't you recognize me?"
"What, are you here to steal something?"
Old Cunzheng knocked his crutch on the ground and said angrily: "How dare you say anything about stealing something..."
He turned around and shouted into the distance: "Dazhuang and Erzhuang, you two come over quickly, catch these two thieves and send them to the government!"
Li Yi raised his head and saw two muscular men trotting towards this side.
He was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.
He patted Lao Fang on the shoulder and asked, "Don't run away yet, we're waiting to be caught!"
Seeing Li Yi walking away, Lao Fang froze on the spot, touched his head inexplicably, and ran forward after him.
The old man stood there blankly and murmured: "These two little thieves run really fast..."
…
Li Yi ran very fast and very far. He relied entirely on his body's strength. Only when he couldn't run anymore did he bend over and gasp for air.
The old man barely kept up with him. He was slightly out of breath and asked: "Aunt, uncle, why are you running so fast..."
Rumble…
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground beneath his feet suddenly shook.
A column of smoke billowed from the far end of the field of vision and stopped a few steps in front of them.
In the front, on top of a tall horse, a woman dressed in white looked down at them.
She looked around, looked at Li Yi, waved her hand, and said calmly: "Tied!"
