Chapter 754: Hot-Blooded Youth

Li Yi looked at him with a smile and said, "Actually! I've already figured out where the money will come from, so don't I want to discuss it with you? It is... It's the pair of crystal balls and crystal Buddha beads, anyway, it's useless to put them at home, I'm going to take them to the auction house for auction, if the market is good, wouldn't the money exchanged be more than these three thousand taels? What do you think, my lady? ”

Wanru's face sank suddenly, and he said reluctantly after a while: "Speaking of which, you are still fighting the idea of these things." ”

"Alas! I didn't take it out so I wanted to give it to my wife on her birthday this year. Last time, you auctioned off the donation to the victims of the disaster in southern Sichuan, but fortunately, it was returned to us. This time, we will auction donations to the victims of the South China Sea again, and I am afraid that they will never come back. ”

Li Yixiang said with a smile: "No matter how precious things are, they can't be eaten as food, my mother has it and it doesn't have much impact, but the victims of the South China Sea are waiting for the rice to be cooked, and the money obtained after the auction doesn't know how many victims can be saved?" You're going to settle this account, right? ”

It was as if he sighed again and said, "How can I be reluctant to do such a meritorious thing?" Alas! I'm just a little reluctant, I'm afraid I'll have to rack my brains again about what kind of gift to prepare for my wife. Alas! It doesn't matter now, I said official, when you use it, just take it. ”

Li Yi smiled and said, "When the auction has money, all the donations will be made to the victims of the South China Sea, and you won't need to use your small treasury." Your parents' house is gone, and my mother's gifts are indispensable, isn't that the best of both worlds? ”

As if annoyed, he said, "Okay! All right! Hurry back to your duty! If you keep talking, I'm going to be annoyed by you. ”

Li Yi grinned and stood up, Shi Shiran walked out of the mansion, rode on Lu Guangtu's so-called official horse, and rushed towards the Duanqing Gate of the Imperial City.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Yi explained the affairs of the Hanlin Academy to his subordinates early and walked towards Xing'anfang on foot. When I was walking on the road, I remembered that Lu Guangtu's mansion didn't know where it was!

It's just like hearing that it's only one street away from the Shanxing Marquis Mansion, and it doesn't take long to walk all the way to the west. Anyway, I have nothing to do, and I don't bother to find someone to ask, just look for it.

As soon as I came to Xing'an Street, I suddenly heard someone shouting behind me: "Runzhi! Runzhi! ”

Li Yi looked back and saw an elegant-looking young man coming from the side of the road, shouting his name, and walking towards this side unhurriedly.

Li Yi looked carefully and saw that he was about the same age as himself, with thick shoulders and back, a plump figure but never fat, a round and shapely face, and sharp eyes as if he could see through people's inner world.

When Li Yi was strange, he had already walked to Li Yi's side and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I was thinking about going to Guangtu early and seeing you early, but I didn't expect to meet you just after I went out, hehe!" Runzhi, I haven't seen you in the past few years, but it makes me want to die! ”

Li Yi showed a warm smile on his face, but he secretly calculated it in his heart. When he said this, it seemed that he was also going to Lu Guangtu's mansion as a guest, and among the people invited by Lu Guangtu, only Liang Song and Zhou Keming themselves had not seen each other.

And it is said that Liang Song is already thirty-six or seventeen years old, and he usually does not smile, so the person in front of him can only be Zhou Keming, who works in Si Tiantai.

Li Yi smiled and said: "Are you pinching your fingers, I will definitely pass by here at this time, so you are here to meet you?" Hehe! ”

The man smiled slightly and said, "I don't have that ability yet, even if it's my grandfather, I'm afraid he won't be able to count you walking on that road!" Hehe! If you don't go home, let's go together! The provincial light map complained that we didn't go over to help earlier. ”

Hearing this, Li Yi already knew the identity of this person, he was not Zhou Keming, who else could he be. His grandfather Zhou Jie was the Si Tian Jian Cheng of the previous dynasty, and he came to Lingnan to avoid chaos, but he was invited out of the mountain by Liu Yan and served as the Si Tian Jian Shaoqing of the Han Dynasty, and he is about 90 years old this year.

And his father Zhou Maoyuan is also in Si Tianjian, and his position is probably second only to his father's Si Tianjian Cheng. As for Zhou Keming himself, although he works in Si Tiantai, a subordinate of Si Tianjian, I don't know what he does.

Li Yi smiled happily: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but your figure is getting more and more plump, hehe!" ”

Zhou Keming smiled helplessly: "Then what's the solution!" Si Tiantai is a quiet place, there is nothing to do during the day, but at night it is accompanied by the stars, there is nothing to do all year round, and you can't get it if you don't want to get lucky! ”

"Alas! I can see that you are in good shape, and you are taller than before, so it seems that this experience is beneficial! ”

Li Yiwan said with a smile: "It's really not good for the two of us big men to judge each other as soon as we meet, hehe!" I don't plan to go home either, so let's go together! ”

Zhou Keming nodded and said: "The brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, although they are all in the capital, they are usually busy with their own work, how can they have the opportunity to get together!" ”

"I heard that Brother Jian asked for an errand to interview and observe the envoy in the South China Sea, and he has been gone for half a year, and he has not returned to Beijing until now!"

Li Yi nodded and said, "Yes!" I knew about this after I returned to Beijing, there are still frequent floods in the South China Sea, and Brother Jian is a warm-hearted person who must bow down to everything and can't be idle, seeing the tragic situation in the South China Sea, he still doesn't go around to help the people! ”

"It's just that I'm also embarrassed for him, I want power or not, I want money without money, and it's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and he doesn't have the final say for such a big cost."

Zhou Keming sighed and said, "Alas! He didn't have any good solutions, and the people of the South China Sea would have to suffer for a long time. I heard that the imperial court was very taboo about this matter, and not only did not allow the people of the capital to discuss it, nor did the officials disclose the news in private, and even arranged for the yamen of the Xingwang Mansion to set up a checkpoint in the south to strictly prohibit the hungry people from the South China Sea from entering the capital. ”

"Alas! It is said that Liu Bogu and Liu asked for orders several times, but they were all vetoed by the emperor, and only some insignificant grain was distributed to the South China Sea every once in a while, and the others did not see any effective measures. If this continues, alas! I'm afraid anything can happen! ”

Li Yi smiled and kindly reminded: "Talking about the government and slandering the court is not what you, a Tiantai official, should do. It's okay for our brothers to talk about it, you must not say this in front of others, this matter can be big or small, if it is listened to by people with ulterior motives, you will be full of mouth and can't tell clearly. ”
