Chapter one hundred and seventy-eighth imperial grace
The two eunuchs who delivered the decree couldn't stand the extremely resentful look in Li Yiyou's eyes. After announcing the decree and awarding the reward, they couldn't wait to exit the courtyard and galloped away on their horses.
They still didn't receive any thank you gifts for delivering the order this time. They no longer cared about this, and just hoped that they would not encounter such a chore again in the future...
In fact, Li Yi initially wanted to give the two eunuchs a small favor. After all, they came from the capital and worked hard all the way. With ten thousand taels of gold, it would not be too distressing to give away a few dozen taels.
But who would have thought that 10,000 taels would turn into 1 tael, and if you give it away again, you will have to pay for it?
He didn't know that those who were rewarded in the past valued the emperor's gift itself and paid less attention to property. Throughout the ages, he was probably the only one who had such an alternative idea in his heart.
The Jinshan that he had been looking forward to for a long time flew away, and his joy was in vain. Li Yi felt a little disappointed. He would really suffer if he didn't study enough. Who knew that even the rewards here were like this? Ten thousand gold is just ten thousand copper coins. Fake
When the sky was at its extreme, why didn’t you just say “a reward of ten thousand coppers”?
Forget it, since the emperor thinks that his life is only worth one tael of gold and a few acres of land, what can he say?
It seems that we still can’t expect pie in the sky. A happy life must be built with our own hands...
When the three Liu Ruyi girls walked to the door of their house, the people around the door had not dispersed yet.
Looking through the gate, you can still see a pile of neatly placed cloths. I heard from the Lord who just read the imperial edict that His Majesty the Emperor also rewarded a hundred acres of fertile land to the husband of the Ruyi family. You know
The fertile land does not produce more grain every year than the land in the village. If there were so much fertile land in the village, the previous life would not be like that.
"Ruyi is back!"
Seeing Sister Liu Ruyi approaching, everyone hurriedly moved out of the way and looked at them with eyes full of envy.
The two helpless children before have now seemed to fly onto the branches, and no one can bully them casually.
"Ruyi is back."
"Go back quickly. Someone from the capital came to your house just now!"
“I got a lot of good things this time!”
"..."
Everyone was talking with envy and awe.
It is said that the emperor's kindness is so great, why does it always fall on the head of Uncle Ruyi?
In just a few days, His Majesty the Emperor has given officials and land rewards, such as the husband of the Yi family. This is a "holy favor". People who will be high officials in the future may also be able to get involved.
Some light.
Thinking of the embarrassment they had caused Sister Ruyi in the past, some people felt regretful.
Back then... I was really blind!
At first, when Liu Ruyi saw so many people gathered at the door, she thought something big had happened at home, and felt a little anxious. After hearing what they said, she felt relieved, said a few polite words to everyone, and hurried into the yard.
Xiao Huan held the things she had just bought at the foot of the mountain in her arms and hurriedly ran into the yard. She tripped over the threshold without noticing. Fortunately, Liu Ruyi helped her in time.
Li Yi stood in the yard, looking at the pile of copper coins, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became.
Even if I keep it, I will always think of this infuriating thing, and if I throw it away..., I can't bear to part with it...
"Ms. sir, this is..."
When Liu Ruyi walked into the yard, the first thing she saw were those silk cloths. She walked up to Li Yi, her pretty face full of doubts.
She knew that Li Yi was awarded the title of county captain, which seemed to be due to an article he wrote - why this time?
Originally, she just thought that maybe her whole life would pass peacefully, but since a decision she made a few months ago, her whole life has undergone earth-shaking changes, and she is somewhat uncomfortable with it.
"I accidentally did something that benefited all the people. These are all rewards from His Majesty the Emperor." Li Yi sighed and said.
"How can you say that you have benefited all people..." Liu Ruyi smiled, she was used to Li Yi talking like this, and asked doubtfully: "Since it is a reward, why is my husband looking so sad?"
"Too few..." Li Yi's voice came slowly.
The expression on Liu Ruyi's pretty face froze, she still disliked the emperor for being less like last time?
If the current emperor knew his idea, would he take back the rewards?
However, remembering that he was unwilling to be promoted last time, it is not so strange to have such thoughts.
Xiaohuan looked at the fine silk cloth in the yard and murmured. If he had known that there were so many cloths at home, he would not have bought them in the city just now. After working hard to pick them up, he realized that there were already some in the yard.
A pile of fine silk cloth.
This much cloth was enough for the three women in the family to make hundreds of sets of clothes. Li Yi had no intention of keeping the things given by the emperor at home, and he had no free space, so he asked Xiaohuan to send a piece to each of his acquaintances.
, there is still a lot left, and I plan to take it down the mountain to sell it when I have the opportunity. The silk cloth rewarded by the emperor should be sold at a higher price, right?
The emperors in the history of Jingguo were not so narcissistic that they insisted on others giving their gifts. It was not uncommon for the emperor's rewards to be given to others or sold for money. Although the emperor knew about it, he always felt uncomfortable.
But it's not really a crime.
There is only half a month left before he takes office. In recent days, Liu Ruyi has obviously become much stricter on his training.
In addition to some basic skills, Li Yi also spends about an hour every day learning a set of sword techniques.
The position of county lieutenant is still somewhat dangerous. It is best to improve one's combat effectiveness. In case of an accident, one still needs to have some self-protection ability.
Fortunately, although the growth of Qi is slow, the speed of learning the moves is still very scary. Li Yi only needs a sword manual and can imitate it in a decent manner after reading it once.
Of course, it only looks like it. In Liu Ruyi's opinion, it is full of loopholes, and she will point them out to him mercilessly every time she sees it.
If you make mistakes, you must correct them. When it comes to martial arts, Liu Ruyi can't get rid of the sand in his eyes. Li Yi was still laughing at Dr. Liu before, but this time he finally understood his previous mood.
Regardless of whether she was really harsh or avenging personal revenge, at least she was very responsible in teaching him martial arts. Li Yi didn't care about the previous things. He just asked her for advice on which one came first.
There was still the problem of eggs first, so I walked slowly out of the yard.
"Uncle, are you here?"
After passing through half of the village and walking into a relatively dilapidated courtyard, an old man with gray hair was sitting in the courtyard, holding carpenter tools in his hand, busy with something.
Hearing the sound, he turned around and saw Li Yi. The old man immediately put down the man in his hand, stood up and said with a smile.
"Uncle Han, how did the things I asked you to make last time go?" Li Yi put down the bag of rice and noodles in his hand and asked with a smile.
Uncle Han was the carpenter who helped him make the rocking chair. In fact, given his age, he is far from being called an old man in future generations. However, the average life span of people in this era is not long. After thirty years old, people can touch their beards and call themselves "old man".
Perhaps because he has suffered a lot in his life, Uncle Han is in his early fifties, his hair has turned gray, and he looks much older.
"It's ready a long time ago. I'm just waiting for my uncle to pick it up." Uncle Han said kindly with a smile on his face.
