Happy Little Scholar

After being caught eloping, Li Yi could no longer continue his romantic life.

Qing'an Prefecture and Kyoto are both among the most prosperous cities in Jingguo, with frequent trade. There are always ships on the river. They are now on a medium-sized passenger ship.

When he sneaked out in the morning, he did not alarm Miss Liu Er and Xiao Huan because they left earlier than him and lived in the compartment next to her and Ruyi.

Only then did Li Yi recall that Xiao Huan looked at him strangely in the past few days and often ran to Miss Liu Er's room, but because the little maid was always well-behaved, he did not suspect anything at all.

Now that I think about it, they should have known about this plan a long time ago.

Xiao Huan might be really angry, and now she is hiding far away and ignoring him. This is the first time this has happened.

There is no such thing as a honeymoon in this world. Don't they really think that he is going to elope with Ruyi and abandon them?

Li Yi walked over, looked at her and asked with a smile: "What's wrong, are you still angry?"

Hearing the voice of the son-in-law, the little maid's face was happy, but thinking of the second lady's instructions, she immediately frowned and turned her head away from him.

Li Yi turned around again and pinched her face, "Are you really angry with the son-in-law?"

The little maid's face was very fleshy, especially when she was in Liuye Village, Li Yi liked to pinch it very much, but later, I don't know what happened, life got better and better, but her cheeks were no longer as baby fat as before, and slowly shrank down, and the oval face had a tendency to turn into a melon seed face, less cute, but more watery, the little girl was about to become a big girl.

Li Yi looked at her slightly pouting little mouth, and what emerged in his mind was the situation of several people getting along day and night in the past six months. At this moment, there were only four people in the room, as if after going around in circles, everything returned to the starting point.

The little maid finally turned her head and looked at him with her big watery eyes, and said in a crying voice: "Son-in-law, do you and the young lady not want us anymore?"

Her voice was full of sadness, like a little animal that was ruthlessly abandoned.

For her, that was the truth.

Son-in-law and the young lady were everything to her. If they left, leaving her and the second young lady in Kyoto, even if they could eat delicacies from the mountains and the sea every day and have maids and servants to serve them, what was the point?

Looking at her eyes filled with mist, Li Yi suddenly felt a little distressed, and a strong sense of guilt surged from his heart.

He seemed to have only considered himself and Ruyi, but ignored the feelings of Xiaohuan and Ruyi. Their way of thinking was completely different from his own. Leaving like this without a sound might really make them think more about things.

"No, son-in-law and the young lady will take you wherever they go in the future." Li Yi put his arm around her shoulders and patted her gently.

"Really?" The mist in the maid's eyes was still there. She stretched out her hand to wipe her eyes, and the dimples on her face were revealed.

"You stopped crying so soon?" Li Yi looked at her in surprise, "You actually learned to pretend to cry and act pitiful. Who taught you this?"

After being exposed by Li Yi, the maid's face flushed and she ran away in a hurry.

Ignoring her little thoughts, Li Yi sat back at the table and continued his unfinished work.

The distance from Kyoto to Qing'an Prefecture is not that far. If you go straight down the river, you can reach it in just one day and one night.

However, this passenger ship is not transporting any important supplies, and there is no urgent matter. Naturally, there is no need to go so fast. It will take about three days to arrive slowly.

Li Yi was not in a hurry to travel this time. He had long wanted to see the famous mountains and rivers in this world. On the table was a simple map that Li Xuan had obtained. It mainly drew the waterway between Qing'an Prefecture and Kyoto.

The maps of this world are far less detailed and standardized than those of later generations. Generally, only government offices and the imperial court will use them. They are practical, either based on mountains or water. There are no satellites available, and they are all measured manually. Li Yi marked several stars on the map, representing several important cities in Jingguo, and connected them with lines, and finally formed their route map from Kyoto to Qing'an Prefecture.

He planned to stay in these places along the way for a day or two, to see the mountains, waters, and scenery, to see the differences in the appearance of beauties in different places in Jingguo, and to enjoy life.

The ideal in the previous life was to make enough money and then travel around the world, see different scenery, feel different customs, and "experience" beauties from all over the world------Of course, the last ideal could not be realized in the previous life, and the possibility of realization in this life is not great. People should still be down-to-earth, cherish life, and stay away from beauties...

"Young Master is really gone?"

Butler Li Bo held a letter in his hand, stunned in place, with some disbelief on his face.

The young master's past behavior had already made him feel willful enough, but he didn't expect that he still had a very superficial understanding of the young master's willfulness.

How should she explain this matter to the old lady?

All the maids and servants in the Viscount's mansion, including the guards, did not know when the master and his wife left. Let alone the maids and servants, the guards would probably feel a burning pain on their faces.

Their duty was to protect the master's family. Now that everyone had run away, who would they protect?

Uncle Li held the letter in his hand. The letter only said that the young master and the young mistress would return to Qing'an Mansion, and they should not worry. As for when they would return, they did not know.

When he drove to Li Mansion to inform the old lady, he still had a face full of tears.

Just leave, at least tell them, and bring a few guards with you. How could a master leave without saying goodbye?

The young mistress and the others are all women. What if something really happens?

"What? Gone?"

Li Xuan jumped off the carriage, stood at the door of the Viscount's Mansion, looked at the servants in the mansion and asked, "Where did you go, and when will you be back?"

The servant could only shake his head helplessly. He only knew that the Viscount, the Viscount's wife, the second lady, and Miss Xiaohuan all disappeared this morning, leaving only a letter to Li Butler. As for more things, he could not get in touch with them.

Li Xuan broke into the mansion with some disbelief, and walked out of it with a confused face after a long time.

"You're leaving just like that!"

He originally wanted to talk to Li Yi about some of his new ideas and have a meal, but he didn't expect to get such news.

This made him feel disappointed immediately.

"Go back to the mansion!" He looked back at the Viscount's mansion and got on the carriage with some depression.

"You're leaving just like that..." Not long after, in the deep palace, Emperor Jing looked at the paper on the table, and his face showed a helpless expression.
