Happy Little Scholar

"Master, time is urgent. Let's go out early tomorrow morning." After discussing with the young man for a while, the old man surnamed Li came over and said.

"Let's do it tomorrow." Li Yi waved his hand. Since he can't leave in a few days, it doesn't make any difference whether it is tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. He should go early and come back early, and he is still waiting to go home to do business.

"Well, we will come to pick you up early tomorrow morning." After the old man said this, he and the young man left.

Pack up as soon as possible and leave early tomorrow morning. If the journey goes well, you should be able to reach the capital in five days.

"Uncle, where are you going?" After the two of them walked away, Xiaohuan looked down at Li Yi and asked in a low voice, his tone a little nervous.

Li Yi patted her little hand and said: "Don't worry, I just went to the capital to do some things and will be back soon. I will bring you the rouge from the capital and the rouge and gouache from Wanhuazhai, which are only available in the capital." Sell."

Last time, Li Xuan sent a few boxes of high-quality rouge. It was said to be specially provided by the palace. It was very precious and could only be sold at Wanhuazhai in the capital. The little maid was reluctant to use it and hid it in the cabinet. As a result, it was destroyed by mice. Li Yi had been sad for a long time. He originally planned to ask Li Xuan how many boxes he wanted, but later he learned that there were not many of them in the palace and the last few boxes had all been given to him last time.

Xiaohuan nodded with some disappointment. Although she had wanted Rouge from Wanhuazhai for a long time, she even hoped that her uncle could take her and the young lady to watch the lanterns together during the Lantern Festival in a few days. But her uncle would be leaving tomorrow. , no matter how beautiful the lanterns are, they are meaningless.

Whether it's to repay a favor or to seek peace of mind, no matter what the reason is, this trip to the capital is inevitable. Even if Li Yi plans to just wait until the old lady's birthday is over before returning immediately, I'm afraid it will take at least half the time. I have been away from Qing'an Mansion for more than a month, and I still need to explain some things before I leave.

The first thing to do is, of course, to go to the county government office to ask for leave.

This is simple. Speaking of which, the sick leave granted to him by Her Royal Highness the Princess has not been used up yet. Now he is working while sick, and his salary has been doubled...

All you need to do is tell Magistrate Liu, and he will take care of everything else.

Magistrate Liu had nothing to say about this county captain who hardly appeared in the county government office.

Of course, he would not put Li Yi in the same position as the former Zhou Xianwei. Not to mention that the backgrounds of the two people were very different. In terms of Li Xianwei's contribution to the yamen alone, he was Can't fault it at all.

These days, under the instruction of the magistrate, several counties under the jurisdiction of Qing'an Prefecture have sent county captains to those who have county captains. For those who do not, the county magistrates have come in person to discuss the office model of Anxi County Government. We conducted an on-the-spot investigation and before leaving, we deliberately left a few officers behind to stay in the county government to study and reform. Anxi County's good public security was promoted as an example. Magistrate Liu has been an official for many years, but this is the first time. Such a bright face...

Li Yi came out of the county government office and walked straight towards the theater.

Wan Ruoqing and Old Man Sun should also tell them that the expansion of the theater must be stopped these days, and the existing site must be managed well first. If the foundation is unstable, there is a high possibility of complete collapse in the future.

"Hey, sir, don't worry. With our current manpower, we can't run the several existing theaters inside and outside the city. There are many people who want to join, but we just let them do odd jobs and do trivial things. There is nothing to eat, and several stewards are now training their own people. When they are capable enough, they will be sent out..."

Old Man Sun was spitting with excitement, and in a few words he painted a grand blueprint for Li Yi. It seemed that he wanted to open theaters in all the capitals of Jingguo in his lifetime.

Everyone is busy, even Wu Er, who has just joined the theater, is no exception.

The boss of the Wu family continues to be in the business of escorting escorts and transporting goods, and by the way, he collects various intelligence in the martial arts world. Anecdotes about the martial arts world and rankings of masters have been completely handed over to Wu Ersili and several storytellers under him. Using the fastest speed to compile martial arts events into various jokes, the list of martial arts heroes changes three times a day. His influence is not limited to Qing'an Prefecture, but also has a lot of popularity in several neighboring states.

Wan Ruoqing is still so bright and charming, but her whole person has become much thinner. Li Yi frowned and said: "Just let the people below do the theater things. You just need to control the overall situation and avoid accidents." It’s just a big mistake, don’t worry too much.”

Li Yi's original intention was just to let them use their own abilities to change their embarrassing lives, but he did not expect that the small Goulan at the beginning would develop into such a huge thing now. Wan Ruoqing's body was already weak, and if she collapsed from exhaustion, she would naturally The gain outweighs the loss.

"I know." Wan Ruoqing smiled and nodded.

The theater's current scale was beyond her expectations. Step by step to get to where it is now, they have all put in a lot of effort for it, and naturally they cherish it very much. They have personally handled everything big and small. More importantly, she I really want to make some achievements and let him see...

"That's right, Sister Ruoqing gets up before dawn every day and stays up until midnight. She has lost a lot of weight these days!" the girl named Xiaozhu said angrily.

Li Yi patted her shoulder and said: "From now on, you will be Sister Ruoqing's personal manager. Your monthly salary is the same as those of other managers. The only thing you have to do is to watch her carefully and not allow her to So tiring, do you understand?”

"I understand!" The girl blushed, patted her chest, and promised: "Don't worry, I will definitely raise Sister Ruoqing to be plump and white, just like before------No, she was too thin before, she should be a little fatter than before!"

Li Yi smiled, then looked at them and said: "I have something to do and need to go out for a while. If you have anything to do these days, you two can discuss it. If you encounter any troubles that cannot be solved, go to the county government to find Captain Liu..."

……

……

When passing by the entrance of Qun Yuyuan, Li Yi stopped for a moment, hesitating whether to go in and say goodbye, and the girl standing at the door to solicit customers had already greeted him with a smile.

"Young Master, do you want to come in and play..."

Looking at the girl talking, the white powder on her face fell down, Li Yi immediately stopped hesitating and strode away.

He was only away for half a month, what was there to say goodbye to? Xiao Cui had already sent the things over. At most, he could treat her to a meal when he came back and apologize in person. That should be sincere enough, right?

When he entered the house, Ruyi was helping him pack his things. There was already a bulging bundle on the table, and she was putting a few ingots of silver into another small bundle.

"These..." Li Yi pointed at the bundle, and Ruyi explained, "They are all some clothes for changing. Silver notes are not very convenient to use. The journey is long. Husband, bring more silver. For the old lady's birthday, you should buy some decent gifts, so as not to be laughed at by others..."

"By the way, I am not in good health, so let Ruyi and husband go to the capital together. I don't know what will happen along the way. With Ruyi here, I can always protect husband..."

Watching her packing and talking at the same time, a peerless master of a generation, showing a completely little woman's attitude, Li Yi stood there, slightly stunned.

The scene at this moment really felt like the nagging of a husband before he left for a long journey, and it was a feeling that Li Yi had never experienced in his two lifetimes.

The first time I saw the woman who smashed the wooden table with one palm and said "I am Liu Ruyi", it seemed like yesterday. I don't know when she started to become more and more like a little wife...
