"You haven't learned anything else, but you have imitated your father's lazy temper." The old lady looked at him and smiled: "Forget it, your second uncle can stay in this position for dozens more times."
If you don't want to be here, don't be. Just don't forget that this is your home no matter what time you are."
Seeing the old lady's loving smile, Li Yi felt warm in his heart. Although he lacked the fiery family affection for the Li family, the old lady and the others did not treat him or his family any differently.
It is possible to become the head of the Li family, within the scope of his ability, but he will not sit idly by and watch the decline of the Li family.

No matter how grand the banquet is, it comes to an end. Late at night, the thoughtful guests gradually dispersed. Li Yi sat alone on the porch, staring at the sky in a daze.
He was probably somewhat mentally prepared for all this. Fortunately, Ruyi and Xiaohuan were coming soon. As long as they were around, to him, it didn't make much difference whether he was in Qing'an Mansion or the capital.
Being carefree and living as you please is just a beautiful yearning of people, and no one has ever realized it. Although being remembered by the princess and the emperor can sometimes be very annoying, it is not completely without benefits.
In the past, even if you were selling candied haws on a stick or bottles of wish-fulfilling dew on the street, some people would get into trouble. Now that you have the status of a county lieutenant or county son---you can at least sell candied haws-glued and wish-fulfilling dew with peace of mind.
It's just that the location has changed from Qing'an Prefecture to the capital.
It's a pity that the lease term of Ruyifang is still more than half a year. If the whole family has moved here, won't the money be wasted?
In addition, there are theaters that have opened all over Qing'an Prefecture. The wealth that took half a year to build is all in Qing'an Prefecture, but now it is necessary to start over in the capital... With the title, there is also a big house, maids and servants
It's definitely indispensable. At least a few guards should be recruited - Li Yi seemed to see money flowing out like water.
With the meager salary provided by the imperial court, it is not easy to support so many people--it has been a long time since I have been short of money.
"Aren't you going back again?"
Miss Liu Er was sitting on the wall, dangling her calves and looking up at the sky.
"Who said that, it's just one more house in the capital. You can go back whenever you want, and stay there for as many days as you want." The county son is neither a hostage nor a prisoner. Personal freedom is not restricted, as long as it is not always
If you hide in Qing'an Mansion and don't return to Beijing, there won't be any problems.
"After I move here, I want to choose a yard first." After a long time, Miss Liu Er's voice came again.
"No problem, I can let you pick first." Li Yi stood up, walked to the wall, raised his head and said, "However, in return, shouldn't you also reciprocate a little bit, such as..."
Miss Liu Er bent her legs, narrowed her beautiful eyes, held the hilt of the sword, and looked down at him, "Like what?"
"For example... I don't have to pay back the fifty taels of silver I owe you." Li Yi looked at her and said.
"It's one hundred taels." Miss Liu Er reminded.
"You agreed?"
"disagree."
"Then there's no need to talk."
"Old rules." Miss Liu Er jumped down from the wall and threw the sword in her hand to him.
"Let's take action."

Miss Liu Er is a very principled person. As long as Li Yi can defeat her, she will never say "no" to Li Yi's decision.
Regrettably, Li Yi has discussed matters in this way many times, and Li Yi has never won.
Early the next morning, a servant from the Li family came over and informed him that someone was coming from the palace.
The eunuch who delivered the order yesterday said that he needed to enter the palace this morning, but he didn't expect it to be so early. Li Yi sleepily put on the knight's uniform, and it actually fit him perfectly. It looked better than the county captain's clothes.
It looked better and seemed to use more sophisticated materials. Surrounded by the old lady and everyone, it left the Li Mansion.
Until now, Li Yi knew nothing about anything else except that he was sealed off from the county, which was not far from the capital in Chang'an County.
Last night I fought 300 rounds with Miss Liu Er. I slept relatively late, so I was woken up early in the morning. I sat in a sedan, feeling drowsy. The old emperor was quite considerate. There was a brocade couch inside the sedan.
, very comfortable, but the place is a bit small, so you can only curl up your legs when lying down, but at least there is a place to sleep, and after a while, Li Yi entered the state of sleep.
The swaying of the sedan chair was very regular and comfortable. Li Yi only remembered that after entering the palace, the old emperor entrusted him with important tasks and rewarded him with a lot of things. The money was piled as high as a mountain.
The beautiful maids rewarded ten of them. Impressed, she fully assisted him in governing Jingguo, eliminating internal and external troubles, quelling rebellions, and single-handedly promoted Jingguo to carry out two industrial revolutions.
The country has achieved unprecedented unification. No one dares to disobey the guns and guns...
Later, before Emperor Jing died, he named him a king with a different surname, making him superior to one person and inferior to ten thousand people, and then--then he woke up.
Somewhat impatiently, he knocked off the eunuch's hand that was shaking his shoulder, wiped off his saliva, and walked out of the sedan. He suddenly felt refreshed and had a good night's sleep after returning to his cage.
"Master Li, we're here." The smile on the eunuch's face was very kind.
Li Yi looked around. He was in a quite spacious courtyard. There was a row of rooms on the opposite side. People came in and out quite frequently. No matter what, it didn't look like a place where the emperor lived.
"Where is this place?" Li Yi looked back at the eunuch and asked, could he have gone to the wrong place?
"Shangshi Bureau." The eunuch replied.
"Shangshi Bureau?" Li Yi looked at the dressing of the people coming in and out, and immediately understood that this should be a place similar to the imperial dining room, and the smell wafting from the room was quite fragrant.
Not bad, the old emperor actually understood humanistic care. Knowing that he had not eaten breakfast, he specially asked someone to take him to the imperial dining room to rest his stomach. In an instant, the emperor's favorability in Li Yi's heart went up to a higher level.
"Well, what kind of breakfast do you provide here?" Li Yi casually called a servant and asked.
It's not easy to come to the palace. The royal chef in the palace should be almost the top chef in the world. The food he makes will definitely taste good, but you have to take this opportunity to see it.
I just don’t know if I can take it away and let Ruyi and Little Fatty try it.
The servant who was stopped by Li Yi had a dull look on his face. He didn't know how to answer and didn't dare to talk nonsense. He couldn't afford to offend someone wearing such clothes.
"Ahem, cough, Mr. Li, you are not here to eat." The eunuch coughed twice and said.
"Why did you bring me here if you didn't want to eat?" Li Yi asked with a frown.
"Hee hee, you're here, make me hot pot!" A bouncing figure came in from outside. When he saw Li Yi, his eyes suddenly turned into crescents.
"Meet the princess!" The little girl came over, and a large number of people knelt around her.
Li Yi also has a title now. He doesn't have to kneel when he sees the princess. He resisted pinching her face twice and asked: "If you want to eat hot pot, go to your brother Xuan's place. I have other business to attend to."
"I don't!" Princess Shouning curled her face and said, "Sister Huang and Brother Xuan said that the hot pot you make is more delicious."
"Prince Li." The eunuch looked at Li Yi with a smile on his face and said, "Your main business is to cook for the princess - this is your Majesty's order."
When Li Yi heard this, his expression froze.
Did you wake him up so early in the morning just to make hot pot for this little girl?
What on earth was the old emperor thinking?
Is this dignified fifth-grade Viscount the one who cooks for your royal family?
In ancient times, King You of Zhou Dynasty smiled in favor of his concubines and played tricks on the princes with beacon fire, which led to the destruction of the country. Today, Emperor Jing summoned the son of Chang'an County to the palace just for a hot pot meal...
Such a foolish king is simply the second King You of Zhou. This Jingguo will surely perish sooner or later!
