Chapter 398: Is It Sick?
"Second sister, look at you like this, what do you think is written in the holy decree!" Li Minghao asked with a blink of eyes and a little innocent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Li Yuxin smiled embarrassedly when she heard Li Minghao ask like this, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, I was scared to death when I just received the holy decree, I thought that the holy decree was written to marry the eldest sister to Liu Changyu!"
"Liu Changyu, what you are talking about is the legendary Liu Changyu who is rich and rivals the country," the prince on the side asked with some curiosity after listening to Li Yuxin.
"The prince knows him," Li Yuxin asked with some curiosity after hearing this, but before the prince could answer, he lowered his head and said to himself, "Look at my memory, didn't the emperor just give him a marriage not long ago, how could my father-in-law not know him."
After listening to Li Yuxin's self-questioning and self-answering, the prince couldn't help but pout, and then said with some disdain." That Liu Changyu's father-in-law doesn't know, but he has heard of it a long time ago, but even if he hasn't seen it, he is not a high-ranking official, he is just a trader, it is nothing at all, and you said about the emperor's decree to give him marriage, my father-in-law has heard of it, but I heard that it seems that the five princes who went out to play wrote a letter to the emperor to give him a marriage, otherwise only with Liu Changyu's identity as a vendor, even if he really has a lot of money, the emperor will not personally give him a marriage. β
"Father-in-law, you are talking about giving Liu Changyu a marriage, not what the emperor thought but the five princes begged, why is this, could it be that the five princes know Liu Changyu..."
Where would Wang Gonggong answer Li Yuxin's question from the village aunt, so he replied impatiently, "Why do you ask so much about Liu Changyu, or do you have anything to do with Liu Changyu?" β
Li Yuxin heard Wang Gonggong ask this, afraid that he would think too much, so he quickly shook his head and shut up and stopped talking.
Seeing this, the prince didn't bother to bother with her, thinking that since the holy decree had been read, there was nothing for him to stay, so he said to Li Yuxin, and began to beckon a group of guards to prepare to leave for Beijing, but he didn't take two steps surrounded by everyone, as if he thought of something, he stopped and suddenly turned back to Li Yuxin and said" By the way, my father-in-law just remembered something, when he came, the emperor had instructed me to bring some soybean oil that was mentioned in the holy decree when I went back, and you should still have it at home, if you have more, I can take it back to the emperor to taste. β
Li Yuxin was stunned when she heard her father-in-law say this, and said in her heart, why hasn't the emperor eaten their soybean oil, if it is true, then how could he make an order to seal Li Yuqing as an imperial businessman, and regularly pay tribute to the palace every year Soybean oil, thinking of this, Li Yuxin became more and more confused.
Looking at Li Yuxin, who was stunned from time to time, the prince looked very impatient, and couldn't help urging again, "Why are you stupid, if you have any, don't move to prepare."
After Li Yuxin reflected, he hurriedly said: "How much does my father-in-law want, don't hide it from my father-in-law, my family also just planted beans last year, and we can eat soybean oil, plus we don't plant much, and this year's output has not been produced, so there is not much." β
"It's okay, just put a little bit on us, we don't have a place to put it anyway, you just need to remember to prepare more next year and don't forget to pay tribute." β
Li Yuxin nodded quickly when she heard what the princess said, then went into the house and took the key, led them to open the small door and entered the warehouse that had been converted from the old house, and after walking a few steps inside, she pointed to a few porcelain clay pots against the corner of the wall and told them that they were filled with soybean oil.
Wang Gonggong glanced at it and didn't say anything, and directly beckoned the guards behind to move forward, Li Yuxin saw that they were afraid of moving too much, and looked distressed, so she let them move by themselves, and she led Li Minghao to wait outside.
They didn't politely say that they didn't move much, but you and I had a can, and in the end, they were left with the original leftover and less than half a can of oil.
Li Yuxin didn't know that they were so ruthless, or she only saw it after sending them back to see, this look can make her feel distressed, but there is no way to feel distressed anymore, so she can only comfort herself secretly, fortunately, new beans will be beaten down after a while, and it will be enough for her and Li Minghao to save some food now.
In fact, what Li Yuxin didn't know was that although the emperor asked the prince to bring some soybean oil back for him to taste, he was actually rewarded with silver, but the prince thought about the hardships he had endured along the way, and when he saw that Li Yuqing's family knew that it was not a big family, the mountain was high and the emperor was far away, so he thought that no one knew about it anyway, so he secretly nested himself.
When Wang Gonggong and others came over, the people in the village knew, but they didn't dare to come forward when they saw them holding knives in their hands, and when Li Yuxin sent Wang Gonggong away, all the people in the village rushed over, asking Li Yuxin what Wang Gonggong and others were doing here.
Li Yuxin thought that this was not a bad thing, so he told them about the emperor sealing their family as an imperial businessman, the countrymen had no knowledge, so they didn't know what the imperial merchant meant, so Li Yuxin patiently helped them explain it, and the people in the village were excited after hearing it, although it was said that Li Yuqing was named the imperial businessman, but for them it felt the same as sealing them themselves, because they all followed Li Yuqing, which can be regarded as both glory and loss.
Then he dragged Li Minghao into the house, sat in the living room and thought of Li Yuqing, thinking that Li Yuqing didn't know where she was now, how was she doing, she must not know that the emperor had appointed her to be the emperor's businessman, thinking about Li Yuxin becoming more and more uncomfortable, she felt that she had to go to Li Youcai's house at noon to see if Li Youcai had come back from the county seat, and if he came back, tell him about it, so that he could bring the news over when he went to the county seat again, and see who else could be dragged there to bring Li Yuqing, so that Li Yuqing could have a number in his heartγ
It didn't take much time to get the order, so there was still some distance before the time of the private school, but even so Li Yuxin didn't plan to go over, she thought that it would be better to take advantage of this time to clean up the house anyway, after all, Li Yuqing hadn't cleaned since she left.
After making up her mind, she first supported Li Minghao to read in her room, and then she began to work hard with water.
Since Li Yuxin's sister and brother were called away by the Sun family, Xue Rui's heart couldn't settle down, and he finally got out of school, and he didn't have time to send the students away one by one, so he couldn't wait to run to Li Yuxin's house, and even the villagers who came out of the field and were about to go home on the road didn't stop to say hello, and ran in front of those people with a "whoosh", and when those people looked fixedly, he had already run a long way, according to his speed, if there was a running competition in ancient times, he would definitely be able to win the championship.
rushed all the way to Li Yuxin's house, and when he arrived at the door, he didn't have time to catch his breath and began to knock on the door.
Li Yuxin had just finished cleaning and lighting a fire to prepare for cooking, and before he got out of the pot, he heard a knock on the door, and his subordinates couldn't help but wonder, and said secretly: Who came to knock on the door at noon, is there something important, thinking of this, he hurriedly extinguished the fire he had just lit, wiped his hands and trotted over to open the door.
Xue Rui didn't know what Li Yuxin was doing at home, he knocked on the door for a long time and didn't see anyone answering, and he became even more anxious, paused and knocked a few times, but no one answered the door, so he couldn't help but shout.
At this moment, Li Yuxin, who was trotting over to open the door, happened to arrive at the door, and when she heard the shouting Xue Rui, she couldn't help but be curious, she didn't understand why Xue Rui was not in the private school at noon and was preparing to eat at her house, so when she arrived at the door, she shouted at the door in disbelief, "Is it Xue Xiaofu?"
At this time, Xue Rui, who was in a hurry, suddenly heard Li Yuxin's voice from inside, and his face was happy, and he hurriedly replied: "Xin'er is me, you, you..."
Li Yuxin opened the door and saw Xue Rui standing at the door sweating profusely, looking very excited, so he frowned and asked a little puzzled, "Is there something wrong with Master Xue!"
Xue Rui heard Li Yuxin ask, coughed lightly twice in embarrassment, looked left and right, and said a little embarrassedly, "That's nothing, it's just that Aunt Sun told you to go home in such a panic in the morning, and I didn't say anything happened, so I took advantage of the time when the students came home from school to eat." After speaking, he paused and said, "By the way, Xin'er, you were busy inside just now, why didn't I knock on the door for a long time and didn't see you come and open the door."
Li Yuxin heard Xue Rui say this, and immediately knew that he was caring about himself, and suddenly felt that his cheeks were slightly hot, afraid that Xue Rui would see it and hurriedly lowered his head, and then whispered a little embarrassedly, "Thank you Master Xue for your concern, in fact, it's nothing, but the emperor somehow knows that my family has soybean fried oil, and said that the dishes made with that soybean oil are better than those made from ordinary plate oil, so he decreed that my eldest sister should be the imperial businessman, and he will regularly pay tribute to the palace every year in the future." β
"What is a royal businessman" Xue Rui couldn't help but exclaim when he heard Li Yuxin finish speaking, he knew why Li Yuqing could be an imperial businessman, but he didn't expect that the fifth prince Mo Xuan could do this for Li Yuqing, it can be seen that the fifth prince Mo Xuan really liked Li Yuqing, thinking of this, he felt that it was a little dangerous for him to want to be with Li Yuxin again, and glanced at Li Yuxin in disappointment, only to find that Li Yuxin was also looking at him blankly, Xue Rui was stunned for a moment, and only then did he realize that he had just made a little gaffe, afraid that Li Yuxin would misunderstand and be busy and embarrassed to explain" I'm sorry Xin'er, I'm a little out of shape, but I was a little surprised to hear what you just said, I didn't expect your eldest sister to be so powerful that she could win the emperor's favor, but I have heard people say that the people or things that pay tribute to the royal family have to go through layers of screening, and Miss Li can squeeze in at such an age and will have a bright future in the future!"
Hearing Xue Rui say this about Li Yuqing, Li Yuxin felt happy in her heart, thinking that it was not the same thing to stand at the door and talk all the time, so she didn't think much about reaching out and took Xue Rui's hand and walked home.
Xue Rui didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly, and suddenly smiled like a flower, and obediently followed Li Yuxin inside.
Li Yuxin led Xue Rui to the living room and turned around to let him sit down, only to find that he was looking down at the smile below, Li Yuxin was a little curious about what was wrong with him, so he looked down in the direction he was looking at, and this look found that he had just unconsciously taken Xue Rui's hand in excitement, seeing this, Li Yuxin shyly shook off Xue Rui's hand, and began to be a little incoherent, "That, that little master Xue, you, you sit first, I, I, by the way, I'm still cooking, or I'll cook first" Saying that, he ran to the kitchen with a red face and no return.
Xue Rui saw that Li Yuxin just wanted to open her mouth to scream, but before the words came out, she had already disappeared, Xue Rui chuckled when she saw this, shook her head helplessly, and secretly said Li Yuxin is so cute.
Here Li Yuxin ran to the kitchen with a smoke, stopped and took two deep breaths to relax, but he didn't expect that not only did he not relax but his cheeks became hotter and hotter, and at the same time, his heart was pounding, Li Yuxin didn't know what was wrong, and subconsciously raised his hand to press the position of his heart, secretly saying that he was sick, otherwise why would he have such a reaction.
After a while, the symptoms did not improve at all, and suddenly she really wanted to see what she was like now, so she thought about it, walked to the water tank, opened the lid and looked inside, only to see the figure reflected in the water, her eyebrows and cheeks were slightly red, Li Yuxin was stunned when she saw this.
Besides, Xue Rui originally just wanted to come over to see how Li Yuxin was, but he didn't expect to be pulled into the house by Li Yuxin inexplicably, and what he didn't expect was that after Li Yuxin pulled him into the house, he left him in the living room and didn't ask.
Xue Rui originally thought that Li Yuxin was embarrassed, so he would leave first, but he didn't expect to wait left and right and not see Li Yuxin come back, as time went by, Xue Rui slowly couldn't sit still, "Because it's noon, he has to go back to cook and can't stay here for too long", so after thinking about it, he decided to get up and look for Li Yuxin. (In the past, when the farm was busy, Cao Cuihua took care of his and the students' meals at the private school, but now when the village is not busy, the children can go home and eat their own, so every day the villagers send some ingredients to him to cook for himself.) οΌ
Following the direction of Li Yuxin's run, Xue Rui easily found the kitchen in Li Yuxin's mouth, Xue Rui stood in the kitchen and looked inside, and saw Li Yuxin squatting in front of the stove with his back to him, and put firewood in it for a while, and he didn't know what was cooking in the pot, and white smoke was suddenly coming out.
Seeing this, Xue Rui chuckled helplessly, and said to Li Yuxin's back: "Xin'er, what are you thinking, you can't eat anything in the firewood hot pot anymore." β
Li Yuxin, who was thinking wildly, suddenly heard Xue Rui's voice and thought that he was hallucinating, so he looked back blankly, but when he turned around, he saw Xue Rui standing in front of the door and looking at himself with a smile, Li Yuxin was startled and immediately stood up from the stove.
"Xin'er was so engrossed in what was going on that she forgot what was cooking in the pot," Xue Rui said, lifting the hem of her clothes and stepping over the threshold.
When Li Yuxin heard Xue Rui say this, she immediately turned her face to look at the stove, and when she saw the pot on the stove that kept emitting white smoke, her face changed, because she suddenly thought of one thing, that is, she forgot to put rice.
