Li Yi's feelings for Qing'an Mansion are naturally not comparable to those in Kyoto.
Even though Kyoto is more prosperous than here, there is no Liuye Village, no Ruyifang, no Goulan, no theater, and even the name of the brothel does not sound as pleasing to the eye as Qunyuyuan.
After two months of running around, he had enough fun, but he was also very tired. Li Yi just wanted to get home as soon as possible, lie down on that familiar bed and have a good sleep.
The carriage entered the city gate and went straight. Li Yi walked down this street countless times. In two or three months, even the vendors setting up stalls on the roadside had not changed much. Li Yi even saw some people wearing police uniforms.
Daniel was wandering on the road, the door of Ruyifang was closed, and the fat shopkeeper of the cloth store next door moved a chair and sat at the door of the store, continuing to sigh at the lackluster business in the store - everything was just like when he left.
The honest man left halfway, and Li Yi had to drive by himself. The carriage finally stopped in front of a large house. There were no adults at the door, and there were a few half-year-old children playing around.
Lao Fang left Kyoto one step ahead of them and wanted to pick up everyone here. It has been two months now. They may have arrived in Kyoto long ago, but this place does not look like it is uninhabited.
Don't know exactly why.
Seeing Li Yi and the others getting out of the car, the children immediately stopped playing and hid behind the gate. When they saw them walking inside, they immediately dispersed and ran deeper into the courtyard.
The four of them had just stepped into the house, when a figure came out to greet them. The girl named Yang Liuqing looked slightly startled, and then said in surprise: "Master, uncle, you are back!"——
The room and yard were cleaned every day, even cleaner and tidier than when Li Yi left. From Yang Liuqing's mouth, I learned that after Lao Fang and the others left, the task of looking after the house was given to her and these children.
These orphans no longer have to rely on begging for a living. The more honest ones are doing simple jobs in the theater. The rest are not idle either. The older children lead their younger brothers and sisters to sell candied hawsers and make a profit every day.
The money supports them all and there is still a surplus.
"Uncle, after you leave, Mr. Sun of the theater and the steward of the palace will send some money every half month, and it's all here." Yang Liuqing asked a few boys to move a few boxes out of the room and explained.
It was not surprising that Prince Ning's Mansion would send money to Li Yi every once in a while. Another sum of money, Li Yi remembered, was used by them all to run the theater when he left. The only person with the power to decide the ownership of this money was
Like a queen.
However, when I came here, I heard the man say that Old Man Sun and his theaters had opened all over Qing'an Prefecture. It seemed that the profits brought by the theater were more than he imagined. Under the premise of ensuring continued expansion, they could still
There is so much surplus.
He doesn't need so much money for the time being. If nothing unexpected happens, the perfume business he is cooperating with Li Xuan and Her Royal Highness in the capital should be booming now. From now on, money will just flow into his home, no matter how much money he has,
Not of much use.
I thought I would have to clean up after coming back, but I didn't expect that with such a diligent nephew, Li Yi could lie down and sleep as soon as he returned to the room. In the past two months, under the guidance of the deceptive map, not every day
He happened to encounter an inn, and sometimes he had to sleep in the wild. Later, Li Yi simply made a few simple tents, but how could a tent be as comfortable as a bed?
Even the quilt had just been dried in the sun. He didn't even bother to take off his clothes, shoes and socks, and lay down directly on it.
After two months of ups and downs and wandering, there were few moments of comfort like this. After a while, he fell into a deep sleep.
When he opened his eyes again, all the fatigue he had accumulated over the past few days was gone. He walked out of the room and found that the sky was already getting dark.
Yang Liuqing was practicing swordplay alone in the yard. Although Miss Liu Er still did not officially recognize her as her apprentice, she would teach her two moves from time to time. Although the two of them did not have the title of master and apprentice, they had the actual status of master and apprentice.
So Li Yi picked up a cheap apprentice nephew for nothing.
Although his uncle's skills may be about - well, Li Yi admits that he cannot beat Yang Liuqing, but who told him to have a powerful sister-in-law?
For Yang Liuqing, Li Yi still had some appreciation and even admiration in his heart.
Among the people he knew, in terms of persistence and diligence, if she was second, no one could be called first.
In the days when Miss Liu Er did not agree to accept her as her apprentice, she came here to clean up every morning and left in the evening. She persisted for a long time. Whenever she had free time, she would be seen practicing swordsmanship outside. The frequency was not only
Far more than Li Yi himself, even Miss Liu Er is not as good as her.
Perhaps this was one of the reasons that made Miss Liu Er change her original intention.
Seeing Li Yi walking out of the room, Yang Liuqing hurriedly stopped and said, "Master and uncle have returned to Liuye Village. Let me tell you when you wake up."
Li Yi nodded, indicating that he understood.
Liuyezhai is the place where Ruyi and the others grew up. Of course they have to visit this time when they come back. Even Xiaohuan mentioned it countless times along the way. I'm afraid there won't be that many opportunities to come back in the future. On the way here,
They agreed that they would go back to the village to stay for a few days this time.
Liuye Village carries too much for them. This is the childhood memory of the three sisters. Li Yi does not intend to join in the fun.
He slept for a long time and was feeling a little hungry. He planned to go out and find something to eat.
He used to walk this section of the road from the house to Ruyifang, and now it is no exception. Ruyifang did not open the door, and Li Yi did not plan to cook by himself. He went in from the entrance of Wa City next to it and walked to a certain place.
In front of a courtyard door, he found that the door was only ajar. Li Yi gently pushed the door open and went in. There was a faint light coming from the back room. He originally planned to walk in, but suddenly he seemed to smell something and sniffed.
The next moment, an expression of surprise appeared on his face.
Instead of going straight, he turned around and entered a small room next to him. After entering, he realized that this was the kitchen. The sky was getting darker at this time. Although it was not completely dark in front of him, it was still difficult to see clearly.
Fortunately, what Li Yi was looking for was not difficult to find. He followed the smell and opened a food box placed on the table. The long-lost familiar smell immediately became rich.
Osmanthus cake, just like the osmanthus cake made by Qing, Li Yi will never forget this taste.
His stomach was already a bit hungry, so he couldn't wait to pick up a piece, then the second, third, and fourth piece.
At this time, Li Yi, who was all focused on the food in front of him, did not realize that a delicate figure had quietly come behind him.
Looking at the black shadow in the kitchen, the girl had a look of horror on her face. She held the wooden stick in her hand tightly and quietly approached the black shadow.
There is a thief!
This was the first feeling in her heart!
He came in without saying hello and was so sneaky that he didn't know what he was doing hiding in the kitchen. Who else could he be but a thief?
As long as she screamed a few times, someone from the next door would hear her and rush over to catch the little thief and send him to the government. However, before that, she had to teach this daring guy a lesson.
Finally reaching the dark figure with his back to her, the girl gritted her teeth, raised the wooden stick in her hand, and swung it hard at the little thief! (.)
