The farmers in Zhuangzi, where the Viscount's Mansion is located, are living very comfortably these days.
On a hot day, when there is nothing to do, go to the newly built hook bar in front of the village to watch a show, listen to music, and spend a copper coin to buy a bowl of mung bean smoothie. Not to mention how comfortable it is.
I don’t know why, even at noon, there is not much feeling of stuffiness inside Goulan, but it is very cool. The mung bean smoothie sells for ten coppers a bowl outside, and the local farmer can enjoy it for one penny. Speaking of this
Sir, who in the village doesn't want to praise me?
And those villagers who helped in Goulan even saved a copper. They could even hold a piece of ice to cool their mother-in-law and children when they went home. Ice is a rare thing in hot weather. I heard that only palaces can bring it.
It only exists in this village, and for this reason, the villagers’ gate has received countless envious looks from neighboring villages.
The servants of the Li family are naturally the most comfortable.
Even the maid who cleans the courtyard can wrap a piece of ice in a brocade handkerchief and hide it in her arms. If she is thirsty or hot, she can go to the kitchen to get free mung bean soup, which is all iced. She can sit on the porch and enjoy the coolness while chatting.
There is no need to worry about being scolded by the master.
As long as your eyes are bright, your hands and feet are diligent, and you do your job well, even the most serious Butler Li will not criticize you.
When I work as a servant in the Viscount's Mansion, I have more time to rest than work every day. I had never thought that being a servant could be like this. Every minute I feel as if I have reached the pinnacle of my life. I can live this way for a lifetime.
Li Yi found that he might have gotten used to being busy in Qing'an Mansion, so he felt a little itchy after only a few days of free time. While preparing for lessons, he was thinking about other things.
Li Xuan threw the account books of many shops to him, and Li Yi just flipped through them and threw them all there.
The hotter the weather, the better the sales of perfume and wishful dew, and money is brought back by the truckload. Li Yi is considering whether to further expand the scale of the ice-making workshop. Mung bean smoothie is sold to ordinary people, and ice cubes are sold at high prices.
If you give it to those who are not short of money, such as dignitaries in the capital or the emperor, you should be able to make a lot of money.
The initial construction of Goulan was relatively expensive, and now we need to use all available means to make money.
Old Man Sun and the others have now initially established a foothold in Kyoto, but due to manpower constraints, they cannot continue to expand. It may still take a long time to reach the grand level of Qing'an Mansion.
He has always been concerned about Yongning's illness, but there has been no gratifying progress so far. She is still very resistant to outsiders and has never even said a word to him.
After sorting out his thoughts, Li Yi found that he still had a lot to do...
Just when Li Yi was writing those strange numbers and symbols on the paper, in the palace, Jin Wang Li Han ran into a palace sweating profusely, shook a certain prince who was taking a nap, and said: "Li Xiang
, have you done all your arithmetic homework?"
"Brother Emperor, what are you doing?" A boy of about seven or eight years old said dissatisfiedly as he rubbed his sleepy eyes.
"Don't ask so many questions, tell me, did you finish your arithmetic homework?" Li Han asked anxiously.
"No..." the young man said vaguely, turned around and fell asleep again.
"That's good, that's good!"
Li Han ran out quickly and quickly rushed into another palace.
Not long after, he ran out of the palace, with a smile on his fat face, and murmured: "Sister Shouning, Li Xiang, Li Mo, they didn't do it, and neither did anyone else, so what should I be afraid of?"
, can he still beat all our tricks?"
For a moment, Li Han felt relaxed, and walked swaggeringly towards his palace with his hands behind his back.
The weather is as hot as ever, and today's ice cream has long been gone. There seems to be a lot of it in Yongning, but he doesn't dare to grab it anymore...——
"Mr. Chang, long time no see." When he saw Chang De at the palace gate, Li Yi raised his hand and said hello.
"We haven't seen each other for a long time. Mr. Li traveled far enough this time." Chang De said calmly.
Li Yi had long been used to the eunuch talking in such a shady manner, and the next moment he heard him say again: "Your Majesty wants to see you, come with me."
The old emperor summoned him at the right time. He came out of home in the morning and deliberately didn't eat breakfast. He was really hungry now.
"Okay, no need to be more polite." When he walked into the palace, before he could salute, Emperor Jing waved his hand and asked, "Is there really something wrong with the pill I took?"
Emperor Jing was leaning on the bedside, his complexion undoubtedly much different from the last time Li Yi saw him.
Li Yi looked at Li Xuan and Li Mingzhu standing by the bed, then at Emperor Jing, and said helplessly: "That elixir will not be beneficial to your Majesty's condition."
"Okay, I understand, you can go down." Emperor Jing said with a trace of imperceptible sadness in his eyes, waving his hand.
Li Yi and the others exited the palace, and Li Xuan said: "Including the imperial doctor's order, all the officials of the imperial medical office have been fined for half a year. Now that what has happened, it is impossible to hide it from the emperor."
Li Yi waved his hand, this ending is already very good. It is better to be fined for half a year than to lose his head. The officials of the Imperial Medical Office are not sure how to celebrate now.
In this case, it is up to the old emperor to decide whether to take drugs or not. He is now going to take care of King Jin - to teach the princes and princesses. Yesterday, he asked Li Mingzhu to ask the old emperor for instructions. Li Yi quickly walked in the direction of Bowen Hall.
Go.
At this time, in the main hall, Emperor Jing looked in a certain direction and murmured: "Is the so-called immortality really an illusion?"
"Your Majesty, don't you already have the answer in your heart?" A voice came from the other side, and a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a blue robe came out from behind the pillars of the hall.
The middle-aged Taoist priest had black hair, a ruddy complexion, and no wrinkles, but the vicissitudes of life in his eyes were completely inconsistent with his appearance.
"How is it?" Emperor Jing looked away and looked at him and asked.
"Can't see clearly." The middle-aged Taoist priest shook his head and said.
Emperor Jing asked suspiciously: "Is there anyone whom Taoist Yuan can't see clearly?"
The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and said: "The way of heaven is unpredictable. If I can see one or two out of ten thousand, I have received a great blessing. What's more, since Your Majesty decided to let me see him, then I don't want to see him."
, to His Majesty, what is the difference?"
Emperor Jing did not ask any more questions this time, with a thoughtful expression on his face. The hall fell into a long silence again——
Today's Bowen Hall is not hot. The princes and princesses enjoy privileges after all. Huge ice cubes are placed in the ice mirror. In the four corners of the hall, there are eunuchs holding huge feather fans, sparing no effort to fan the air. There is a natural cool breeze in the hall.
Xixi made the princes feel that this place was much better than the palace where they lived.
"Today is the first time for class. Please hand in the homework I left a few months ago." Li Yi sat in front and glanced at the princes and princesses and said.
Jin Wang Li Han sat below, twitching his lips in disdain.
No one takes your words seriously, let’s see how you end up soon!
At this moment, Princess Shouning stood up and walked up with a thin booklet in her hand.
Then there is King Fu Li Xiang.
Longevity King Li Mo.
Princess Chengyang.
Princess Yongtai.
…
…
Li Han looked stupidly at the brothers and sisters who stepped forward and handed the thin book in their hands to his husband, and was stunned for a moment.
"Liars, they are all liars!"
After a moment, his expression turned angry, and when Li Yi looked at him, the anger immediately turned into panic...
"His Royal Highness King Jin, where is yours?"
When this demonic voice came, King Jin couldn't help but shudder. He no longer considered the issue of trust between people, because that thin booklet had been published a few months ago.
, he tore it into pieces together with the textbook...
