The old man fell into a deep sleep, and his aunt was packing things in the house. The little fat man Li Yingcai and Duan Wu sat on the big stone at the door, showing off and taking out their treasured delicacies one by one. No one knew what he could hold in his arms.
There were so many things hidden, and the fragrance spread far away, attracting several children to hide aside and swallow their saliva.
"Come on, you're welcome, let's eat."
He generously pushed all the things to the Dragon Boat Festival, patted his chest and said, "I still have a lot at home. I'll treat you to something more delicious next time..."
After thinking for a while, he added, "But you also have to treat me to your noodles."
Food is still a big temptation for children. Finally, a little girl about seven or eight years old walked over slowly, pointed to a pastry in a paper bag, and said: "Brother, can you give me this?"
Do you want to eat?”
The little fat man showed a kind smile on his face and said simply: "No!"
Seeing the little girl go away with her mouth pursed and tears shed, the little fat man curled his lips. The reason why he gave these good things to Dragon Boat Festival is because he is the eldest brother's sister, that is, his own sister. Don't think that he didn't have it just now.
When I saw her among the people surrounding the Dragon Boat Festival, I wanted to ask myself for something to eat. What a beautiful thought!
"Master, do you want to discuss this matter with your family?" At the door, the old man surnamed Li looked at Li Yi and said with a troubled face.
"Why discuss?" Li Yi looked at him and asked.
The old man surnamed Li sighed and said: "In fact, the family has helped them a lot over the years, but it has never been made public, otherwise it will cause greater dissatisfaction in the Chen family. Once they become serious, why
The family will face greater troubles.
It's not impossible for the young master to take them back home, but at least he has to discuss it with the old lady or the second master. Many people in the Li family are worried about what happened back then. If the young master keeps it quiet like this
, you will encounter considerable resistance.”
Hearing this, Li Yi shook his head and said, "I have no plans to take them back to the Li family."
The old man was stunned when he heard this, and when he was about to ask, Li Yi was already instructing the Li family guards who came this time to go find a sedan on the street. The remaining guards asked them to walk in from the alley and guard the
here.
"What happened to the He family?"
"I don't know, why are there so many people here? Someone else is looking for trouble?"
"Their family has always been very evil. Who knows what happened, but from the looks of it, they are planning to move?"
"So what if they move. I heard that the He family offended a certain powerful person in the capital. I haven't seen how they came here after so many years. Even if they move away, I'm afraid they will end up with the same fate."——
People who also lived in the alley kept coming to the door, looking in the direction of He's house, pointing, and talking quietly.
One of them, a middle-aged woman wearing a coarse cloth skirt, saw the battle in front of He's house. After her face changed several times, she quietly walked out of the alley.
At this time, Li Yi and his two children were already walking on the street.
Seeing the patched clothes the little girl was wearing, Li Yi frowned and planned to take her to a tailor shop first.
Due to the lack of a unified sizing system, there are no ready-to-wear shops on the streets here. Clothes are generally made to measure and need to be made in advance.
There are many clothes in the tailor shop, which are all made by others. It is not difficult to find something suitable for a little girl.
"Sir, this is a reservation made by another customer and cannot be sold. Otherwise, measure the size of this little girl first, and then choose a piece of fabric that you are satisfied with. Two days, just two days, after two days, you
Come and pick it up again to make sure your clothes are ready!" the shopkeeper of the tailor shop said with an embarrassed look on his face.
However, the troubled look on his face disappeared when he saw the ingot of silver on the table.
"These clothes look great on the little girl. There are a few more good ones here. Do you want to see them again, sir?" He wrapped up a few clothes together and sent Li Yi out of the door with a flattering look on his face, "
Young Master, please go slowly and welcome to come again next time!"
The distance between the ugly duckling and the white swan is actually only one piece of clothing.
A new piece of clothing and a few pieces of suitable jewelry can complete the perfect transformation from a little beggar to a little princess.
After coming out of the jewelry store, Li Yi pinched her little face and said, "She's just too thin. She needs to eat more in the future to gain weight."
The little fat man agreed very much with this sentence. He patted a whole chest muscle and said proudly: "That's right, only by eating more can you grow as strong as me!"
The little girl nodded, secretly deciding in her heart that she would not eat more in the future...
He held Li Yi's hand tightly, fearing that he would disappear as soon as he let go, just like he suddenly appeared.
If her brother disappears, no one will buy her new clothes and beautiful jewelry. Thinking of what she just saw in the mirror, I feel happier than ever before.
After renting a courtyard in an inn and paying the deposit, Li Yi returned to the street with his two children.
They were not suitable to live in the Li family, but if they lived outside, they would have to worry about retaliation from the Duke's government.
I found someone on the street and asked for a certain address. I bought two dough balls from a stall on the roadside, one for each person. The little fat man bit off the head of the dough dough in one bite and muttered about the honey inside the noodles.
There is less of it, no taste...
Li Yi was thinking about other things.
Because he received a modern education, he has always believed that elopement is very romantic. What modern people pursue is free love, and they have promoted the ancient story of elopement for love to a very high level. Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wen
I don’t know how many people have been envied by the story of "Feng Qiu Huang".
However, the reality is cruel. Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun have been such a couple throughout the ages. In the end, Zhuo Wenjun needed to sing "I wish to have the same person, and we will never be apart" to make Sima Xiangru change his mind...
Even this ending is a good one. Li Yi looked through the criminal files in Anxi County. Due to the elopement, there were countless cases where the man was expelled from the clan and the woman was forced to sink a pond and fill a well.
Like my parents, the ending is actually quite happy.
After all, the two of them escaped from the shackles of their families. Although their lives in Lijia Village were difficult, they should still be very happy in their hearts. This could be felt in his memory.
However, in the distant capital, there are still some people who are suffering undeserved suffering on their behalf.
The Chen and Li family lost face because of what happened, but it was a small matter.
What are the other members of the He family guilty of? Will they suffer twenty years of revenge?
What mistake did that young lady from the Chen family make that ruined her lifelong happiness?
Thinking about it this way, Li Yi couldn't even blame the Chen family too much.
With his status, he naturally cannot blame his parents.
"What a sin..." The stories were all lies. He no longer believed in romantic love stories. Li Yi sighed deeply in his heart and stopped thinking about it.
At this time, they had arrived in front of a magnificent mansion.
"Stop, who are you and what are you here for?" The young concierge was sitting on a chair leisurely drinking tea. When he saw someone walking up the steps, he immediately came over.
"Please go in and report that a friend of His Royal Highness is here." This is the first time Li Yi has come to the Prince's Mansion. The concierge is very strange and is not originally from Prince Ning's Mansion.
The concierge glanced at the three of them. A young man and two children. What kind of strange combination is this?
There is not even a follower around, so it must not be a noble status...
He claims to be a friend of His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness has only been in Beijing for a few days. Apart from the palace, the place he often goes to is the Crown Prince's Mansion. Where do he have any friends? This guy is not pretending to be a friend of His Highness the Crown Prince to fight with the emperor, right?
Having been a concierge for many years, he has some ability to judge people. Who is His Royal Highness? The friends he knows are naturally rich or noble. It is impossible to pretend to have the temperament of a superior person. The person in front of him is
Do you really think that you can pretend to be a friend of His Royal Highness just by wearing a decent outfit?
"Go, go, go, stay where you can. His Highness the Crown Prince is very busy. How can he meet everyone..." The concierge waved his hand impatiently. There are countless people who want to visit the Crown Prince every day. If every one comes,
Man, if he even bothered His Royal Highness once, he should have packed up and left long ago.
What's more, this guy doesn't even have the most basic greetings and lacks the most sincerity!
"You bastard, what are you talking about?" The young concierge was about to go back and continue drinking tea. Before he could turn around, someone kicked him on the butt, and his whole body immediately turned into a gourd.
