Happy Little Scholar

When he regained consciousness a little, he felt his whole head was swollen. He tried for a long time but couldn't open his eyes. He only heard a few intermittent voices around him. Tian Lai 『Novel

"The princess actually ate in the morning."

"She even drank a small bowl of yam and corn porridge."

"The prince was very happy and increased the allowance for everyone in the kitchen!"

After finally opening his eyes, he felt an unusual bitterness in his mouth and was very thirsty. At this time, a crisp voice rang out not far away: "The young master is awake!"

A hot towel was handed over, and Li Yi wiped his face randomly. Looking at the two maids standing in the room, he said in a hoarse voice: "Water..."

After a while, he took the teacup from the maid's hand and drank it all. He still didn't feel thirsty. After drinking several cups, the feeling of thirst subsided a lot.

At this time, a maid brought a tray covered with red cloth and said with a smile: "Sir, this is the thank-you gift that the prince asked me to prepare for you. Please accept it."

"Thank-you gift, what is that..." Li Yi had just woken up and his mind was still a little unclear. He casually uncovered the red cloth, and then he was almost dazzled by the neatly arranged silver ingots on the tray.

"Thank the prince for me!"

Li Yi took the tray from the maid with a smile on his face. The trace of sleepiness was immediately swept away, and even the whole person was much more energetic.

The maid was stunned when she heard the words, as if she didn't expect Li Yi to agree to this straightforwardly.

Just now, the prince had specifically told her that if the other party insisted on not accepting it, she must persuade him to accept it. For this reason, she made a little preparation in her heart.

The real situation made her a little stunned.

Isn't it said that scholars regard money as dirt... This young man doesn't seem to be like that...

Li Yi walked out of the Ning Wang Mansion with a small bag on his back, waved to the woman named Yanzhi behind him, and strode away.

He drank a sip of wine last night and fell drunk on the table. He was so embarrassed that he couldn't wait to leave the palace without waiting for the little prince to wake up.

The small bag on his back contained a full 110 taels of silver. Although it was only about 50,000 yuan when converted into RMB, it was indeed the first huge sum of money that Li Yi had received since he came to this time.

The son of a local tyrant must have a local tyrant father.

Li Yi likes such a generous prince. It's too troublesome to talk about feelings. It's better to talk about money directly.

His wallet was bulging, and even his heart was fuller.

I just don't know how anxious Lao Fang and the others would be if they didn't see me yesterday.

It's better to return to the village earlier.

In the Willow Leaf Village, the little maid sat in front of the door, her eyes were red and swollen, and the beautiful big eyes of the past had lost their spirit. She had two dark circles under her eyes and stared straight ahead.

Not long after, a sturdy figure came over from a distance. The big man surnamed Fang walked up to the little maid with a cloth bag in his hand, sighed, and said, "Xiao Huan, this is the money from selling candied haws yesterday, you take it back and keep it."

The girl didn't speak, bit her lips tightly, and shook her head.

"This idea was proposed by the son-in-law, and the icing was also bought by the son-in-law. We just put in a few efforts, and it's not safe to hold this money in your hands. You...you should keep it."

Old Fang put the cloth bag at the girl's feet, and finally didn't say much, turned around and slowly left.

The girl sat quietly in a familiar position, and it seemed that there was a figure beside her, like before, telling her those good stories and teaching her to cook delicious meals... That was almost the best time in her life.

Thinking that the figure would never appear again, the girl's nose couldn't help but feel a little sour, and she had to hold back her tears.

After all, she was only a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. After an unknown period of time, the tears in her eyes could no longer be controlled. She buried her little head between her legs, and a whimpering sound came over.

"Why is Xiaohuan crying? Who offended you?"

A voice suddenly came from the front, and the girl's body trembled. She raised her head suddenly and saw the face that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar.

A ray of light suddenly appeared in the girl's eyes, but it soon dimmed.

From yesterday to now, such scenes have appeared countless times, from the initial surprise to the final numbness, because she knew that no matter how real the illusion was, it was just an illusion after all.

Seeing the maid's tearful face, Li Yi's heart ached. He hurried over, wiped the tears from her face, and whispered, "Tell me, who bullied you? I'll help you vent your anger!"

The girl stared blankly at Li Yi wiping her tears. The real touch on her face made her realize that this was not an illusion.

"My dear!"

Tears welled up in her beautiful big eyes, and Li Yi instantly felt a delicate body in his arms.

The shy maid would never do such a thing. At this time, she seemed to have used up all her strength to hold his body, which made Li Yi a little confused.

At this time, the courtyard door opened from the inside, and Li Yi saw Liu Ruyi appear. She pointed at the crying little maid and asked, "What happened to Xiaohuan?"

Liu Ruyi stood at the door holding her sword, looking at Li Yi like that. Although there was nothing strange on the surface, her whole body seemed to suddenly relax.

The appearance of Liu Ruyi made Xiao Huan stop sobbing. She lowered her head and stood next to Li Yi with a red face, tightly tugging on the corner of his clothes and refusing to let go.

"Uncle!"

Lao Fang's gong-like voice came from behind, and anyone could hear the endless surprises contained in the voice.

"Uncle, you are back!"

Seeing that Lao Fang, who was as excited as if he had married several concubines, was about to give him a big bear hug, Li Yi immediately withdrew from Laoyuan with vigilance.

He had just enjoyed Xiaohuan's soft embrace, and he didn't want to let this guy Lao Fang touch him no matter what.

"Uncle, where did you go last night?" The bear hug didn't come through, and Lao Fang wasn't angry either. He looked at Li Yi and asked with confusion.

"Last night..." Li Yi was halfway through his words before he thought that it would be inappropriate for him to say that he went to a brothel to listen to music last night, so he said instead: "Last night... I got lost in the city last night. I couldn’t find you, so I stayed at the inn for one night and didn’t come back until dawn.”

From last night to today, Lao Fang has always believed that if it were not for him, his uncle would not be lost. He was deeply immersed in the torment in his heart and had no sleep all night. It was only when he saw Li Yi today that all the self-blame and regret were swept away. And empty, I feel that life is suddenly full of light again.

Li Yi took off the baggage from his shoulder, handed it to Xiaohuan, and said, "Take this back and put it in my cabinet."

Xiaohuan reached out to pick it up, but she didn't expect that the weight of the small bundle was much heavier than she thought. Inadvertently, the bundle fell from her hands and fell to the ground.

Wow!

The baggage spread out, and a pile of silver ingots rolled out from it. Under the sunlight, it almost dazzled Lao Fang's eyes.

Xiaohuan covered her mouth in surprise, her pretty face full of disbelief.

Liu Ruyi's hand holding the sword couldn't help but tighten, with a look of emotion on her face.

Not far away, Mrs. Wu walked out of the house and had just poured out a basin of dirty water. She suddenly felt something dazzling on the ground not far away from her, and couldn't help but turn her head to look...

Bang!

The copper basin in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
