A box of gold nuggets is very conspicuous in the room. It's not like Li Yi has never seen so much money, but a scene like this with a whole box of gold in front of him has only been seen in TV dramas.
When they were most short of money and manpower, they could only survive by selling jade pendants and selling poems. It was such a difficult time. It was only a month, and there was so much money here.
, I can already feel calm in my heart.
If it were anyone else, seeing so much gold, they would immediately turn into a nouveau riche, and would not feel happy if they didn't go out and spend a thousand or eight hundred taels of gold.
After covering the box and putting it under the bed, Miss Liu Er was doing Tai Chi slowly in the courtyard. This was already an improved version of Ruyi. It focused more on actual combat and the movements looked more aesthetic.
.
"Get ready, we'll go out soon." Li Yi looked at her and said.
"What are you going to do?" Miss Liu Er continued her actions and asked without looking back.
"I've made so much money, why don't I just buy something to squander it? Why can't I spend a thousand and a hundred and eighty taels..." Li Yi urged: "Hurry up, let's leave as soon as we finish eating!"
No matter in the past, now or in the future, women cannot resist the temptation of shopping. Even fairies like Miss Liu Er who don’t like the worldly fireworks occasionally like to go shopping on the street, even if what they buy back is just a bunch of useless things.
something.
Immediately, the plan for today was finalized. While Li Yi was busy in the kitchen, Lin Yong came over, leaned against the door, and asked: "Brother Li, are you okay after dinner?"
Li Yi didn't look back and said, "After dinner, I have to go out and buy some things."
Lin Yong clapped his hands and said: "Miss will be going out soon. Let me come over and ask you if you want to go out together?"
Ever since Lin Wanru paid him wages last time and was rejected by him, she would always do something intentionally or unintentionally.
For example, I would give Miss Liu Er a hairpin or a bracelet, or if I saw a beautiful dress when passing by a clothing store, I would buy it and give it to her, which is like a disguised form of compensation.
This kind of thing happens every few days, and Li Yi is used to it.
"Okay." Li Yi hesitated slightly and nodded in agreement.
For such a long time in the past, Miss Liu Er had been staying at home to recuperate from her injuries, and would occasionally go out with him. The only person she came into contact with on weekdays, besides him, was Lin Wanru, who came to talk to her from time to time.
Li Yiyou noticed that Lin Wanru didn't seem to have many friends with her on weekdays. Every day, it was the Lin family and the shop, and the two women, who didn't like to talk very much, actually established a strange relationship during this time.
Correspondence.
Of course, even though neither of them likes to talk, there are degrees of difference.
When she was with Miss Liu Er, Lin Wanru talked more.
Shopping with women is actually a very tiring thing, because they don't know how tiring it is at all.
When passing by the most famous rouge and gouache shop in Fengzhou City, Miss Liu Er and Lin Wanru went in, while he and Lin Yong could only wait outside.
Although there is no "no men allowed" sign outside this kind of shop, most men would choose to avoid it. The people inside are all women, and Li Yi doesn't like the smell of makeup and perfume.
Lin Yong squatted on the steps nearby and asked: "Brother Li, you are talking about such a small bottle of "perfume" and you actually dare to sell it for two taels of silver. These women are still rushing to buy it. I really don't understand what they are thinking.
Think about it!”
Li Yi lowered his head and glanced at him. If a rough guy like this could understand a woman's thoughts, the sun would probably come out in the west.
What's two taels of silver? A small bottle of limited edition Blue Enchantress in Jingguo's capital costs 200 taels of silver, but a large group of people are rushing to buy it. It's still priceless but not marketable. Even if you have money, you can't buy it. Qi Guo's
The perfume is just bought from Kyoto. You can buy a bottle for only two taels of silver, and you can't even get the money back. If the perfume sold by these black-hearted purchasing agents has not been diluted, the character "Li" will be written upside down.
Next to the shop is a tea stall. There are many customers at the tea stall, drinking tea and chatting.
Li Yi didn't want to listen to them. He estimated the days. They could set off back in half a month at most. This time they didn't enter Qi very far. If they went fast, they could reach Shuzhou in two days. Miss Liu Er
Under his careful care, my body is no longer a serious problem. The closer the day of return is, the more I look forward to it.
There were still some faint voices coming from his ears, such as "The corrupt official prince serves the country and the people" and so on. Lin Yong had a restless temper. Li Yi ignored him, and the old man beside him didn't know how to talk to him.
As he spoke, he simply moved his buttocks and leaned to the side.
"Not to mention, those people have really done a lot of good things for Fengzhou this time. Corrupt officials should be arrested. The more they are caught, the better. The more they are caught, the easier the lives of the people will be."
A young man dressed as a scholar glanced at him and said: "Although I say so, nothing is absolute. Such a big fanfare and war may not all be a good thing. It will throw the entire Fengzhou and several neighboring states into chaos.
It’s not a good thing for the people either.”
Someone said: "Yes, no official is corrupt. Big or small corruption will lead to the same result. In the past two days, no one from the county government has been handling the case, and bandits have become rampant. Every morning, people who go to the county government to report crimes are at the door.
There’s a long queue.”
…
…
They were all ordinary people, drinking tea and chatting. Lin Yong finally found someone who was willing to talk to him, so he simply sat by the tea stall and chatted enthusiastically with everyone.
Li Yi was leaning against a pillar, thinking about whether Ruyi would give birth to a boy or a girl, what name should be given to the boy, and what name should be given to the girl, when a voice suddenly came to his ears.
"Master, what do you think of the eldest prince's investigation of corrupt officials in Fengzhou?"
He turned around and saw an old man with half-white hair standing up next to the tea stall, looking at him and saying with a smile.
Li Yi looked him up and down and shook his head slightly.
The small notebook in his hand was probably not recording all the rumors he heard from the people of Fengzhou. The thin bamboo tube on his waist probably contained a writing brush. Look at this extremely familiar outfit. He was walking on the street.
Catch anyone and ask them for their views on government affairs...
The censors of Jingguo and Qiguo all had the same virtues, even if they had a little new tricks, they were also simple and rough in doing things, even if they were a little tactful, their identities would not be easily guessed.
You can't talk nonsense in front of the censor. These people are all informed by hearsay, which means that as long as they hear some news, whether it is true or false, they can openly speak out about it.
If Li Yi now said that the third prince of Qi, Zhao Yi, and the poet Zhao Xiuwen had been having some kind of illicit transaction for a long time, and a certain censor heard about it, it wouldn't be long before everyone knew about the two's liking for Long Yang.
You don't have to be responsible for what you say, it's the censor's prerogative.
"How else can I watch? Stand in front of my house and watch..." Li Yi glanced at him and said, "The officers and soldiers are arresting people outside every day these days, it's so lively..."
The old man was smiling and was about to answer the question and ask some questions. When he opened his mouth halfway, he didn't know what he wanted to ask just now.
