Chapter 382: It's Awkward!
"Thank you, Uncle Du." Although Du Ruhui did this and signaled himself not to be polite, Li Yi still smiled and hugged his fists and saluted, and after putting the basic politeness in place, he sat down again.
couldn't Du Ruhui say that there was no need to be polite, Li Yi believed it, giving Du Ruhui an impression that he didn't know how to be polite.
For Li Yi's insistence on such a performance, Du Ruhui was very satisfied in his heart.
Although he is not a very old-fashioned person, since ancient times, the etiquette of "respecting the old and loving the young, and being courteous to a gentleman" has been deeply rooted in his heart.
Li Yi is a junior, and he is an elder, Li Yi's gift should also be deserved.
Therefore, Du Ruhui did not continue to struggle.
"Virtuous nephew, why did you suddenly remember today that you came to the old man's mansion?" Sitting on the big seat of the main house, after taking a sip of tea, Du Ruhui asked with a smile.
At the same time, Du Ruhui's expression turned his head with a touch of deep meaning and glanced at Du Xiaomei who was bowing her head next to her.
Du Ruhui's eyes were naturally seen by Li Yi.
It was just an instant that Li Yi understood what Du Ruhui meant by this sentence.
Suddenly, Li Yi couldn't laugh or cry.
"Uncle Du, don't be sarcastic about Bo'an, Bo'an has already made a mistake." Li Yi hurriedly admitted his mistake, "In the future, Bo'an will definitely pay attention and will not ignore the little sister." ”
Seeing this, Du Ruhui smiled happily on the spot.
"Virtuous nephew, I didn't mean that!" Du Ruhui immediately shook his head and vetoed, and then, he looked at Li Yi with a smile and reminded loudly, "It's you, as a big man, but it's hard to chase a gentleman and a horse!" ”
“…… Yes, Uncle Du, Bo'an knows! Li Yi smiled and nodded.
"Hmm." Du Ruhui nodded with satisfaction.
He turned his head with a smile, looked at Du Xiaomei, who was full of shyness and even lowered her head, and did not continue to talk about this topic, but turned to Li Yi and asked: "By the way, you said that there is something important just now, what is it important?" ”
Although Du Ruhui is now recuperating at home and is no longer above the court, Du Ruhui still knows some things in the world.
And now, with the channel of "Chang'an Daily", almost all the major events in the world can be known by Du Ruhui.
Moreover, when Fang Xuanling couldn't make up his mind, he would come to Du Mansion in person to discuss the affairs of the court with Du Ruhui, and let Du Ruhui make a decision.
Therefore, Du Ruhui is now, although he is recuperating at home, he is not a person who knows nothing.
Seeing this, Li Yi didn't bother with anything else, but said directly to the point: "Uncle Du, that's the case, today Bo'an entered the palace to face the saint, and he has proposed to the saint to let Du Gou lead the troops to the waters of Dengzhou and Laizhou to exterminate the pirates there, and the saint also agreed in person." ”
After a pause, Li Yi then continued: "As long as Du Wei can successfully complete this mission, then he can make meritorious contributions and resume his previous official position." ”
"Huh......?" As soon as he heard Li Yi's words, Du Ruhui was a little stunned, looked at Li Yi with a surprised face, and asked out loud, "In the waters of Dengzhou and Laizhou, there are pirates?" ”
"Well, exactly!" Li Yi nodded solemnly, his face was no longer the smile he had before, but a somewhat serious look.
Then, Li Yi continued: "And this time, Bo Anxin guessed that the local government must have colluded with the pirates. Otherwise, they would not have forced the women of good families in Dengzhou to marry pirates, in order to obtain temporary peace. If Bo'an hadn't heard about this matter himself, Bo'an wouldn't have believed it! ”
"Who did you listen to?" Du Ru squinted his eyes and looked at Li Yi with a serious face.
It was really the news that Li Yi said, which shocked him too much.
"Uncle Du, Bo'an is also a woman who escaped from Dengzhou, and she knows it." Li Yi did not hide it, and simply told Du Ruhui all the things about Jiang Yuxiang truthfully.
After Du Ruhui heard this, he instantly became silent.
Not only did he not think of this in his heart, but this surprising news was completely unexpected by Du Ruhui.
He also did not expect that the people of the government in the waters of Dengzhou and Laizhou would dare to collude with pirates and oppress the people in the waters of Dengzhou and Laizhou.
And let a weak woman who was powerless flee to Chang'an City from Dengzhou.
This way of escaping, for a weak woman, how hard it is, how disappointing!
"This group of scum scum in Dengzhou and Laizhou is simply a loss of conscience!" Du Ruhui immediately scolded.
At present, compared to the extermination of pirates and whether Du Wei can resume his official position, Du Ruhui is more concerned about exterminating pirates.
Because this is an unspeakable shame for Tang Guo!
Thinking of this, Du Ruhui instantly understood why Li Shimin immediately agreed to Li Yi's proposal and asked Du Wei to take people to the waters of Dengzhou and Laizhou to exterminate the pirates.
Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, it cannot be taken lightly, and they must be strangled from the cradle.
Otherwise, once this matter becomes a big problem, I am afraid that it will cause shock in the Tang Kingdom.
"Virtuous nephew, on this trip to Dengzhou, you must exterminate the pirates, and you can't leave them any chance to breathe!" Du Ruhui looked at Li Yi solemnly.
For Li Yi, he suddenly became the vanguard of the bandits in the waters of Dengzhou and Laizhou, and Du Ruhui couldn't cry or laugh in his heart.
After all, Li Yi was in the Wang family before, but he pit Li Shimin's nine boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and Du Ruhui also knew why Li Shimin let Li Yi go to Dengzhou.
For Li Shimin, the Tang Academy is now being built, and if Li Yi is allowed to continue to stay in Chang'an City, it will be a scourge!
It is better to let Li Yi go to the waters of Dengzhou and Laizhou, and bring back the gold, silver and jewelry obtained from the extermination of pirates to Chang'an to expand the construction of the academy.
However, for this point, Du Ruhui did not speak out and did not remind him.
"Don't worry, Uncle Du." Li Yi smiled and nodded, "Bo'an will definitely strike at this group of pirates, so that they will never have a place to turn over!" ”
"Well, it has to be done!" Du Ruhui nodded in agreement.
For Li Yi, Du Ruhui is very relieved.
However, for his unsuccessful eldest Du Gou, Du Ruhui was not very relieved.
Thinking of this, Du Ruhui told Li Yi again: "Virtuous nephew, after arriving in the sea areas of Dengzhou and Laizhou, if that bastard boy of my family does not listen to the command, you just have to beat him, and you must not let him make any more mistakes and waste this opportunity in vain." ”
"Well, don't worry, Uncle Du, Bo'an knows." Li Yi smiled and nodded, "And Bo'an also believes that Du Wei will know the measure." ”
"Well, if he can be so sensible, then it would be better!" Nodding, Du Ruhui got up from his seat.
glanced at Du Xiaomei on the side, then looked at Li Yi, and then turned around and left.
After all, early tomorrow morning, Li Yi will secretly leave Chang'an City, not to mention, at least for more than a month, Li Yi and Du Xiaomei will not see each other.
Du Ruhui left very emotionally, leaving the space for their young people.
At the same time, he also went to tell Du Wei, who was kneeling in the ancestral hall, to ask him to prepare well, he must fight this battle well, and he must not waste this opportunity.
Otherwise, if Du Gou wants to continue to be an official in this life, I am afraid that it will be difficult.
After all, before that, he violated Tang Law by lending money privately.
After Du Ruhui left, the housekeepers and maidservants in the house also left sensibly, leaving Li Yi and Du Xiaomei a perfect space.
"Third brother, are you going to Dengzhou early tomorrow morning?" Du Xiaomei looked at Li Yi with a red face, her eyebrows were full of affection, and at the same time she was very reluctant in her heart.
"Well, I'll leave before dawn tomorrow morning." Li Yi smiled and nodded in response.
Seeing this, Du Xiaomei no longer hesitated, and directly threw away the shyness in her heart, stepped forward in three steps and two steps, hugged Li Yi's back, and the whole person was stuck in front of Li Yi.
"Third brother, be careful when everything is done, my little sister is in Chang'an City, waiting for you to come back." Du Xiaomei said softly, her face was crimson and hot, and she hugged Li Yi's back with both hands, and she also used some force.
Li Yi shook his head, hugged Du Xiaomei's fragrant back, patted it gently, and kissed her at the root of her ear: "Don't worry, it's going to be fine, it's just a group of pirates, soon." ”
"Hmm." Being kissed by Li Yi like this, Du Xiaomei suddenly felt soft all over her body, but she still told with concern, "But third brother, you still can't take it lightly." ”
"Got it, silly girl." Li Yi smiled and nodded, and at the same time rubbed Du Xiaomei's little head, and said lightly, "Don't worry, it'll be fine." ”
Du Xiaomei enjoyed Li Yi's doting behavior very much, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.
Then, she mustered up the courage of her body, and then stood on tiptoe, coldly kissed Li Yi's mouth like a dragonfly, and then closed her eyes.
Li Yi saw that Du Xiaomei was so active today, so he didn't refuse.
After all, Du Xiaomei is a woman, and in this feudal era, it is very rare for a woman who has not yet come out of the cabinet to take the initiative to ask for a kiss.
Unless she really likes someone, and she has enough courage in her heart to do so.
The two began to entangle each other.
After a long time, Li Yi let go of his mouth, pinched Du Xiaomei's red little face, and said with a smile: "Little sister's kiss is so fragrant." ”
"The little sister's first kiss was finally handed over to her husband." Du Xiaomei lowered her head shyly, and the deer bumped into her heart with joy.
"Well, so am I." Li Yi smiled and teased Du Xiaomei.
"You are not your first kiss, your first kiss was snatched away by Xiao Wu a long time ago!" Suddenly, Du Xiaomei pretended to be slightly angry and glanced at Li Yi.
"......" Li Yi was speechless for an instant.
It's embarrassing!
God knows, how Du Xiaomei knows.
However, thinking about the relationship between her and Li Lizhen, the relationship has always been intimate and good, Li Yi guessed in her heart that Li Lizhen should have told her......
But seeing Li Yi's innocent expression, Du Xiaomei grinned "hee-hee", and she was no longer as shy as before.
Anyway, now, after the kiss, she and Li Yi are also engaged, and she will be Li Yi's person sooner or later.
It doesn't matter if the first kiss is not the first kiss.
"That's right, husband." But seeing that there was no one around, Du Xiaomei became a little bolder, so she simply changed her intimate title, blinked and asked, "Are you going to Dengzhou about this, have you told Xiao Wu?" ”
"No, what's wrong?" Li Yi looked at Du Xiaomei in surprise.
Du Xiaomei pouted slightly, then looked at Li Yi seriously, and said seriously: "Husband, it's not right for you to do this, if you leave quietly like this, Xiao Wu will definitely be sad and worry about you after he knows it." ”
"......" Li Yi looked at Du Xiaomei speechlessly, pinched her face, and said with a smile, "Aren't you jealous?" ”
"A little bit jealous." Du Xiaomei nodded, but then, she said with a relieved face, "However, Xiaomei and Xiaowu will not eat each other's vinegar." ”
"Why is that?" Li Yi was a little puzzled.
After all, in Li Yi's impression, women will not be so generous, not to mention, it is still Du Xiaomei and Li Liqing, one is the daughter of a heavy minister, and the other is the daughter of the royal family.
Li Yi really couldn't figure it out.
He didn't understand why when Li Shimin gave this holy decree, Du Xiaomei and Li Lizhen both accepted this holy decree very calmly.
And they don't make trouble, but are very quiet and well-behaved.
"Hee-hee, I won't tell you." Seeing that Li Yi was so curious, Du Xiaomei immediately pursed her mouth with a smile, then touched Li Yi's face, turned around and fled coquettishly.
Li Yi hooked Du Xiaomei's little waist, pulled her back, hugged her with his hands, and threatened with a wicked smile: "Little sister, if you don't tell me, don't blame me...... Now let's get the Fa right on the spot! ”
"Come on, little sister is waiting for her husband to do it!" Du Xiaomei stared at Li Yi without fear, her eyes blinked, and she pursed her lips slightly, which was very seductive.
"......" Li Yi was completely speechless, couldn't help swallowing his saliva, scraped Du Xiaomei's nose, and said angrily, "Little sister, you have learned badly!" ”
"Hee-hee." Du Xiaomei smiled happily, for this seduction, Li Yi did have no resistance, but Du Xiaomei knew that Li Yi would not do this.
Because Li Lizhen had already done this once before, but Li Yi didn't correct her on the spot.
After they discussed it with each other, they also knew that Li Yi liked this.
Seeing that Li Yi's face was full of uncomfortable and constantly swallowing saliva, Du Xiaomei also knew that she couldn't go too far, after all, men's tolerance was also limited.
"Husband." Du Xiaomei immediately changed the topic, and no longer continued to seduce Li Yi, but said very solemnly, "You go and say goodbye to Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu and I are waiting for you to come back safely." ”
"Well, okay." Li Yi nodded, rubbed Du Xiaomei's head, put it on her mouth by the way, and continued to take a sip greedily, and then turned around and opened Du Mansion.
Looking at Li Yi's departing back, Du Xiaomei rubbed her little face to calm herself down.
"Third brother, if you don't come back from Dengzhou for a day, I will pray for you every day!"
