Chapter five hundred and forty-seven chatting to death!
"Uncle Li, the latrine, the latrine is in front." A few steps behind Li Yi, the veiled maid lowered her head and whispered.
"Why are you here?" Li Yi turned around and looked at her and asked.
The maid's body trembled slightly, and her voice was a little panicked, "Uncle Li, slave, I don't know what you are talking about?"
"I asked, how come you are in Kyoto and at the residence of Prime Minister Qin?" Li Yi looked at her and asked: "Liu Mei, where are your parents?"
The maid's body trembled again, but she also knew that her identity could not be concealed no matter what. She slowly took off her veil, and you could see that she looked pretty, but the scar on her face was extremely dazzling.
And her appearance is not unfamiliar to Li Yi.
"Dead, all dead..." She said with a complex expression and a sad voice: "I encountered bandits on the way to Beijing. My parents died. I was rescued by a passing caravan. Later, I couldn't help it.
The steward of the Qin Mansion took pity on me... and I've been here forever."
Li Yi looked at the woman in front of him. She was young, but she had a vicissitudes of life on her face. He could not connect her with the arrogant girl in Liuye Village a year ago.
If I remember correctly, this girl named Liu Mei should be the daughter of Ruyi's nominal third uncle. When they were in Liuye Village, Xiaohuan and the others never dealt with each other, but it was more expressed in their dissatisfaction with their words.
There is no such thing as cynicism or deep hatred.
Later, because of the incident involving the Green Forest strongmen, Ruyi's uncles and uncles took money from home to avoid disaster, left Liuye Village, and settled down separately.
Strangely enough, Li Yi never saw them again after that day until he saw Liu Mei here.
In this way, the third uncle and the third aunt are no longer alive. When Li Yi recalls it now, he can only remember that he was a thin man. He didn't talk much and seemed to be a little afraid of his wife. The third aunt was quite nice.
It's amazing that I can stand at the door with my second aunt and argue for half an hour without losing anything, but now...
So many things have happened in this year, and for him, these are already long-distant memories.
The grudges with the Liu clan also turned into dust a long time ago.
Li Yi looked at her, thought for a moment and asked, "Then what are your plans for the future?"
"Plan?" A smile appeared on Liu Mei's face, but it was uglier than crying, "I, I'm already like this, what else can I plan to do..., I, I'm pretty good like this now."
Li Yi glanced at her again, shook his head, and walked back along the way he came.
Liu Mei turned around, until his figure disappeared, and still stood there for a long time, her face turned gray.
She could still remember at this time that one day about a year ago, when her mother came back from outside, she seemed a little unhappy.
Later, I found out that Sister Ruyi had snatched the village husband from outside and brought back some of their plans. During that time, she did remember that her mother was thinking about their two acres of thin farmland for many days.
At the beginning, she saw the stronghold's husband a few times.
The general impression was that he was a thin, weak scholar, but very handsome. At that time, she would occasionally think that she would marry someone like this in the future. He looked very comfortable and different from all the people in the village, but
Be rich...
Later, I gradually realized how powerful the scholar was. He could write poems, teach, and make money very well. Everyone was saying that Sister Ruyi had found a treasure. She was actually a little envious at that time.
Later, he started selling candied haws, and his family followed suit... Later, he became the county captain, and the situation in Liuyezhai became different.
Later, she left the village with her parents and went to a neighboring county. After settling down, she did not deliberately inquire about the news there. Later, she made some small money selling candied haws, so she thought of coming to Kyoto to join relatives, and by the way, she made some money selling candied haws.
If the candied haws business continues, who would have thought that something like that would happen on the road, and later that relative would...
She endured a lot of hardships in those days, and finally came to the Qin family. She finally had a place that could protect her from the wind and rain. Although she was always being called around by others, she would not ask for extravagant things now.
what.
I once thought about marrying a handsome young man, but this idea has not occurred again for a long time.
Then she heard some news, the Chang'an County Count, the popular man in front of His Majesty, the Three Heroes of Kyoto, defeated the people of Qi, and even your own young father-in-law, you suffered a lot at his hands. Every time I think of this,
Her heart would become a little complicated. If they had not left that day, would things have been different?
However, there are no ifs in the world after all. She touched the scars on her face, put on the veil again, lowered her head and left silently.
Meeting Liu Mei in the Qin Mansion was naturally beyond Li Yi's expectation. She was an old friend. If Ruyi Ruyi or Xiaohuan knew the news, I wonder what would happen.
Those old grievances in the past are no longer worth mentioning now. However, this is the Qin Mansion. If he behaves too special towards her, it will not be a good thing for her. This can only be done for now.
When he was walking back, he "accidentally" met a servant of the Qin Mansion and asked him for directions. Only then did he realize that he had gone wrong, so he walked back three to five feet and disappeared behind a moon gate.
"Miss Xiaomei?" The man guiding the way scratched his head and nodded slightly.
"Wu Er, why aren't you feeling better yet?" A voice came from not far away, and Wu Er quickly responded: "It's coming, it's coming..."
He glanced in a certain direction, turned around and ran quickly.
…
…
"I've kept Prime Minister Qin waiting for a long time." Li Yi walked into the hall and said with cupped hands.
"It doesn't matter." Qin Xiang waved his hand, not minding it at all, and said, "The tea may be getting cold. I'll have someone make another cup."
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't bother me. In fact, I don't drink tea much on weekdays."
He really rarely drinks tea. As for Qin Mansion's tea, he can't drink it. Who knows if there are any additives or something in it? It's not like judging a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart.
Prime Minister Qin may not be able to do it, but some people really can.
"I wonder what happened to Prime Minister Qin?" After Li Yi sat down again, he asked straight to the point.
Prime Minister Qin took a sip of tea leisurely and asked casually, "Uncle Li is a rare young talent in our country. What do you think of the recent political affairs?"
Li Yi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it, I've never been to court..."
Qin Xiang's hand that put down the teacup froze slightly.
He actually intends to recruit Li Yi today. Judging from his observations in the past few months, he can really be regarded as the number one young person in Jingguo. He is deeply attached to the Holy Spirit and is highly valued by His Majesty.
He is inextricably linked to Jiangmen, and he has a close relationship with Li Xuan, the crown prince of Prince Ning. Prince Ning’s influence in the court cannot be underestimated. What’s more, Prince Li Xuan also has the support of the Wang family and other wealthy families behind him. If he can
Let him be loyal to His Highness the King of Shu, so why worry about failure?
Of course, this kind of thing cannot be said clearly, and he did want to make a roundabout way, but the first sentence of County Uncle Li made him chatter to death. He was unprepared for a while, his train of thought was disrupted, and he didn't know what to do at this moment.
