Happy Little Scholar

"It's so lonely at home on New Year's Eve. Why don't you come together? It will be more lively with more people."

When Wan Ruoqing was cleaning up the dishes, Li Yi suddenly looked at her and said.

Ruyi had mentioned it to him several times, asking him to bring Zui Mo over that day, not at other times. On New Year's Eve, the family must be reunited.

It doesn't matter if one person comes, two people come, or three or four people. It's better to let them go together so that no one will be left alone at home.

Wan Ruoqing was stunned for a moment, then turned around and smiled, "It's not just us. There are many sisters in the brothel who have left their hometowns. We have already agreed to get together on New Year's Eve, so it won't be lonely... By the way, go and talk to Zui Mo, Zui Mo should go."

"It's already been agreed..." Li Yi heard this, nodded slightly, and said, "Then let's talk about it later. Will you still be here tomorrow? There are still a few scripts that I need to discuss with you."

Wan Ruoqing raised her head and asked him, "Will you come tomorrow?"

"Yes." Li Yi said a little embarrassedly: "I have never taken care of the brothel. Thank you for your hard work. There is nothing important recently, so I should help you share some of the burden..."

Wan Ruoqing smiled and said, "It's not that hard."

Li Yi shook his head. No one knew better than him whether she was working hard or not, but he didn't say much. When he got up and walked out of the door, he waved: "See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Wan Ruoqing raised her hand to signal, stood in front of the window, and waited until the figure disappeared before sitting back at the table, opening the drawer, taking out the book, and turning to the latest page.

"The third year of Jinghe, the twenty-eighth of the twelfth lunar month..."

Then, there were some happy things.

Downstairs, Lao Fang, who was holding a chicken leg in his mouth, was also very happy. He held another chicken leg in his hand, shook it in front of the sloppy old man, and asked, "Mr. Xu, do you want one?"

The sloppy old man glanced at him and said coldly, "Get lost!"

Lao Fang was not angry either. He shook his head and said, "Mr. Xu, why are you doing this? It's just a few teeth. Just pull them out. Why do you have to suffer this?"

Seeing that the sloppy old man was about to get angry, he hurriedly took two steps, handed over the chicken leg and asked, "Son-in-law, do you want to eat chicken?"

Li Yi shook his head and said, "Eat it yourself. I'm full."

Lao Fang looked up at the attic and nodded secretly. After such a long time, even if the son-in-law was hungry just now, he should be full now.

In front of the sloppy old man, he took a big bite of the chicken leg, then quickly followed Li Yi and asked, "Son-in-law, do you know what Mars guards the heart?"

"Mars guards the heart, where did you hear that?" Li Yi got on the carriage and asked casually.

"I heard it when I bought the chicken leg just now." Lao Fang replied, "But I didn't quite understand what they said."

"Mars refers to a star in the sky, and the heart, Antares, is also a star in the sky. Mars guards the heart means that these two stars meet in the sky." Li Yi thought about it and explained.

In fact, the two stars are more than 108,000 miles apart, and the volume difference is more than a trillion times, so how can they meet? The so-called Mars guarding the heart is just a visual phenomenon.

"It turns out that they are just two stars..." Lao Fang curled his lips and put his interest back on the chicken leg in his hand.

"It's not just two stars. Mars is called the star of disaster. Antares represents the emperor. The star of disaster meets the emperor, which means that the emperor will have a disaster..."

Mars guarding the heart is actually a kind of astrological feng shui. It's pure nonsense, but in the feudal era, many people believed in it. The court had a special department to do this kind of thing. It seemed to be called Sitianjian. When there was nothing to do, they would look at the stars and predict good and bad luck through the stars...

Lao Fang was surprised and said, "Is that star really that powerful? Is it true?"

Li Yi looked at him unhappily, "Of course it's nonsense, eat your chicken leg..."

This matter, to put it nicely, is called Mars guarding the heart. To put it bluntly, it means that the emperor will have a disaster and it's time for him to die...

Of course, there are so many emperors on earth, Jingguo, Zhaoguo, Qiguo, Wuguo..., which one will die depends on which of these emperors has good luck.

Li Yi was not worried about these. Although the old emperor was not in good health, he was recuperating now and would not die so soon. Besides, he did not believe this. Li Yi knew this when he was in Prince Ning's Mansion.

He did not think about this matter, waved his hand and said, "Go home."

Lao Fang nodded, wiped the grease on his mouth, and asked, "Which home?"

...

In Yangliu Lane, in the courtyard, Zeng Zuimo shook his head and said, "I won't go. I want to stay here with Sister Ruoqing."

Li Yi said, "You can go together."

She still shook her head. Li Yi looked at her and said, "You can't live here all your life."

"Why is it impossible?" She looked up and glanced at him, and said, "I'm here. Anyway, Sister Ruoqing is with me. I have something to do every day, and no one will bully me."

"Who will bully you..." Li Yi looked at her, thought for a while and said, "Besides, Ruoqing will get married one day. What will you do then?"

Zeng Zuimo was stunned. She really hadn't thought about this question.

Li Yi looked at her and said, "At that time, will you still live here with Xiao Cui?"

For some reason, she felt particularly uncomfortable when she thought of Sister Ruoqing getting married. A trace of thoughtfulness appeared on her face. She suddenly looked up at Li Yi and said, "How about you marry Sister Ruoqing too?" Well, the two of us take care of each other, and it’s the same no matter where we are..."

This time it was Li Yizheng's turn to be there.

Happiness came so suddenly, so Zui Mo is also so reasonable?

He thought for a while and said: "What you said is not without some truth...hiss..."

"Does that make sense?" She looked at him with wide eyes. Although she seemed to be smiling, the curve of the corners of her mouth was full of danger.

"What you said makes absolutely no sense..." Li Yi covered the soft flesh around his waist and said, "Have you ever asked Ruo Qing's opinion, have you asked me for my opinion..."

She looked at Li Yi, suddenly let go of her hand, lowered her head, and said softly: "Actually, Sister Ruoqing met you earlier than me, and I can see that she also likes you very much. She just never said those words It’s just hidden in my heart. We have always been together. Seeing her marry someone else will make me feel uncomfortable. Why don’t you think about what I just said. "

Li Yi shook his head and said with a serious face: "Stop talking nonsense. It's not good for Ruo Qing to hear such words."

Just jump into a pit once. How stupid can he be to fall down twice in the same place?

She looked at Li Yi, blinked, and then laughed, "Okay, okay, I was just joking, and I won't let sister Ruoqing know."

"Can such a joke be made casually..." Li Yi glared at her, gave her some serious ideological education, and then left with satisfaction.

Outside Yangliu Lane, when he got on the carriage, Lao Fang opened the curtain and asked: "Uncle, which home are you going to this time? Do you want to go to the palace?"

Li Yi waved his hand: "I'm not going, I'm really going home this time."

There are only two days left for the imperial meeting. Her Royal Highness must be very busy, and since there is nothing important, it is better to go home and celebrate the New Year in peace.

In the small courtyard, Xiao Cui poked her head out of the house for the first time. She finally couldn't help it and walked out and said, "Miss, what are you thinking about? It's cold outside. Just go inside and think about it."

After calling a few times, Zeng Zuimo realized it, nodded and said: "Well, let's go in."

She stood up, but her body suddenly fell to the side.

Xiao Cui hurriedly supported her and said with concern: "Miss, what's wrong with you..."

"Don't move, don't move..." Her voice was a little panicked, "Stand there, don't move, your feet are numb..."
