Just a few months ago, he was living a life of eating and waiting to die, lying in the yard basking in the sun every day, teasing the little maids, telling stories to the naughty children, all for the last piece of chicken and tenderloin on the plate.
The leisurely life of the second young lady as she battles wits and courage.
I don’t know when this all started to change.
The money he makes is getting more and more, the people he knows are more and more noble, the money at home is piled up like a mountain, and he talks and laughs with the princess and the prince all day long. The carriage of life starts to go in the direction that he did not expect, and the horse rides away from the dust.
, I can’t even pull it back.
I thought I could make some money and be rich - I was kidnapped a few days ago and almost lost my life. This time, dozens of people came to kill me. I have never experienced such an exciting thing in my life...
Gunpowder was invented, and new troubles came one after another. Although I don't know how much the emperor would attach importance to this thing, no matter what the outcome was, it was probably impossible for him to live as he had before.
Moreover, what happened today also gave him a warning.
Whether it is cooperation with Prince Ning's Mansion or friendship with Li Xuan, they are all illusory in fact. If used as a trump card, sooner or later he will die miserably.
I used to be really lazy and used to think simple when thinking about things. Now it seems that I am a bit too naive.
…
…
The oil lamp on the table exploded into a lantern. Li Yi rubbed his swollen eyebrows, and the area on his lower abdomen that had been injured began to hurt again.
After all, his injury has not fully healed yet, and it is not suitable for too strenuous movements. However, today he has no choice but to rush around all the time. In order to make gunpowder in a hurry, he has not even had time to take a bite of food. At this moment, the old injury
There were signs of recurrence, and I was feeling unbearably hungry in my belly, and there was also a weak labor pain in the back of my neck.
Li Yi touched the back of his head, a look of shame and annoyance appeared on his face.
Today, in front of so many people, I was knocked unconscious by Ruyi. It was a great shame and humiliation.
If he can't revive his husband, he won't want to hang out in this family anymore.
Of course, knocking him out is not the point. The point is that her attitude towards the whole thing is really annoying.
There was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door, and then the door was pushed open. Liu Ruyi walked in with a tray in her hand, placed a bowl of steaming vegetarian porridge on the table, and said softly: "Uncle Fang said that my husband
I haven't eaten all day, I just cooked some porridge, please drink it while it's hot."
Li Yi looked up at her without speaking or making any movement.
Liu Ruyi knew that he was angry. Thinking of what he said just now, such as "we will settle the accounts later," her eyes dodge a little and said, "My husband, please remember to have some porridge early. I will leave first."
When she was about to open the door and escape, an arm stretched out from behind and pressed against the door. She turned around in a panic and almost touched the tip of Li Yi's nose.
"Don't you have anything to say to me?" At this time, in the room with flickering lights, the postures of the young men and women resembled a movement called "bidong" in later generations. Judging from the situation at this time, it was said that
It should be more appropriate to call it "Men Dong".
The expression on Li Yi's face was very serious, without a trace of cynicism. Liu Ruyi's answer was very important to him.
"It's very late, sir... Sir, please rest early." The expression on Liu Ruyi's pretty face became even more panicked. When she was about to escape from the other side, Li Yi's other hand pressed over her.
The palm that should have been pressed against the door was pressed against her chest because of her sudden movement.
Liu Ruyi's body froze, and after a startled expression on her face, her pretty face immediately turned blood red. She raised her head and looked at Li Yi, her voice was trembling and she was about to cry, "Mr. Sir..."
At this time, she was just a shy ordinary woman, how could she look like a great master?
However, when she raised her head and looked into Li Yi's eyes, she saw something different from before in his eyes as deep as a pool of water.
Understanding the hidden emotion in Li Yi's eyes made her body tremble, and her face gradually turned from blushing to pale.
It seems that something extremely important to her is leaving her...
"I..." She bit her lower lip tightly, lowered her head and said, "I know I was wrong."
…
…
Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and something seemed to be relieved in his heart.
He looked at her and asked, "Tell me, what's wrong?"
After I finished speaking, I noticed something was wrong with the touch of one palm. When I looked down, I couldn't help but be startled.
No wonder my hands feel so soft...
"I shouldn't have knocked my husband unconscious." She said softly before raising her drooped head.
"What else?" He couldn't back down at this time. Li Yi pretended not to notice that a hand was placed where it shouldn't be, and continued to ask.
Although she shouldn't have knocked herself unconscious, this was only a superficial reason. As the saying goes, husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they will separate... Bah!
Husband and wife are one body. If there are any difficulties, we can discuss them together and solve them. There is no need for chauvinism. If she knocked herself unconscious and sent her down the mountain at this juncture, is it because she has never regarded herself as a husband-in-law in her heart?
"Also..." Liu Ruyi thought for a moment and said, "I should not make the decision on my own and give those who leave ten taels of silver per household as settling-in allowance..."
"What?"
Li Yi's eyes widened, "The settling-in fee of ten taels of silver?"
He calculated in his mind, if the Liu clan members plus the villagers had ten taels of silver per household, wouldn't they have spent nearly three hundred taels of silver today?
This prodigal bitch, how many times does he have to blackmail Li Xuan to earn back three hundred taels of silver?
When it was done, she sent it out to the back garden of the big house.
Li Yi felt extremely painful in his heart.
"Anyway, they can be regarded as being dragged down by my concubine..." Liu Ruyi sighed and said.
"Forget it, I won't do it next time." Three hundred taels of silver is just three hundred taels of silver. If you lose the money, you can earn it back. Those people are gone, and things will be quiet in the future.
Liu Ruyi lowered her head, and Li Yi put his hand on her chest. When both of them stopped talking and shifted their attention, the atmosphere gradually became awkward.
Her stomach growled twice. Li Yi pretended not to care and took his hand away from her chest. Liu Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly, "Master, please drink the porridge quickly. It will get cold soon."
Li Yi nodded. He was indeed hungry now. After the scene just faded away in his mind, his appetite also recovered a lot.
I finished the porridge quickly, touched my lower abdomen, and frowned slightly.
"Did the wound start to hurt again?" Liu Ruyi asked worriedly from the side.
"A little bit." Li Yi said.
"My husband will lie on the bed first, and I will use my true energy to help him comb himself." Liu Ruyi put away the dishes and chopsticks and said.
Whenever Ruyi helped him sort out his meridians, it was probably when Li Yi felt most comfortable. Her hands seemed to have some kind of magic power that could minimize the pain.
Li Yi lay on the bed with his eyes closed. While he was enjoying himself, the fatigue caused by running around all day gradually came over him.
When Liu Ruyi retracted her hand, she saw that he was breathing evenly and had fallen asleep. She was stunned for a moment, and a blush suddenly appeared on her pretty face. She turned her head and looked around for a few times, took off her embroidered shoes, curled up at the foot of the bed, and curled up.
With her slender legs and hands wrapped around her, she looked quietly at his stretched out brows.
Her pretty face was sometimes shy and sometimes confused. She didn't know how long it had been. She looked in the direction outside the door like a thief, then lay down next to Li Yi, sleeping with her clothes on. After taking a sideways look, she slowly closed her eyes.
Eyes closed.
At this time, the girl sitting in the courtyard stared blankly at the full moon in the sky, and occasionally glanced at the door not far away. Until the lights in the room were extinguished, no one came out of it, with a pretty face on her face.
A hint of surprise appeared, and her beautiful eyes suddenly widened...
[ps: After thinking about it for half an hour, I decided to use this chapter name. After all, sharing a bed is different from consummating a marriage. The latter is a chapter name that has been passed over a period of time, so it should not be considered a headline...]
