Later, Qi Qingchu didn't want to argue with his teacher anymore, he was afraid that the more he said, the more wrong he was.

Although he didn't completely agree with his teacher's words, he could only say that he partially agreed and some disagreed.

After the beginning of spring, Li Jicai will take office and will not stay in the capital.

In the state of Chu, there are still a few women who enter the court as officials, especially like Li Jicai, there are some children of high-ranking families, who may be able to enter the inner courtyard of the palace as female officials, but they can't easily go to the court.

Unless something great is done.

Only real merit will be convincing.

Their tea soup had already cooled down when they were chatting, and because of the existence of Master Zhuo in the Taoist temple, they actually prepared some good vegetarian dishes.

At the moment, they haven't had dinner yet, so Master Zhuo naturally wants to keep his proud protégé in this Taoist temple for a few days, and it's not too late to leave when the time comes.

He asked Qi Qingchu about it, and said that it was not so busy these days, and they hadn't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they should have a good get-together.

Qi Qingchu also readily agreed, away from the officialdom, and many redundant things no longer thought about, no longer bothered, watching this sea of clouds churning on this Wusong Mountain, looking at this strange pine and strange stones, looking at this different scenery, it was also relaxing.

When the snow falls, the next day is sunny and the sun rises, and the scenery is even more beautiful.

There is nothing big going on on the side, so let him go.

On the second day after Qi Qingchu left the capital, Li Jicai was also released. She returned to her small courtyard and wanted to spend a year in her own place, and when the year was over, she would go to do big things and get down to business.

She hadn't been back for a long time, and when Li Jicai pushed open the crumbling wooden door, a rotten smell rushed into her nose.

The yard was overgrown with weeds, and the small vegetable patch had long been deserted, and the mottled black dirt exposed under the snow-covered surface seemed a little desolate and lonely.

The situation does look like it is in the middle of nowhere. If it's not in the capital.

Since Li Jicai and they left this small courtyard that day, everything is still well preserved, but it is not popular, maybe it is just like when they left, Li Jicai himself does not remember it too clearly.

But no matter what, it's good to be back.

What a luxury it would be to have a home in this place where there is nothing and no one knows.

Even if she returns to modern times, Li Jicai is not much happier than now, and she can only comfort herself like this.

Biyu and Biluo stood behind Li Jicai, although Jiang Xihu also wanted the two of them to take care of Li Jicai, but Li Jicai insisted that no one needed to take care of them.

But the sisters Biyu and Biluo still insisted on following Li Jicai.

They were afraid that Li Jicai would have no food, no clothing, no use, and no sleep at night in his original place, so they came with their baggage.

Li Jicai was the first to step in, pushed the door to the left and right, and then turned to Biyu and Biluo with a smile and said, "Is it that the thief also thinks that my family is too poor, and no one has stolen anything in this house?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the door that had just been pushed aside by Li Jicai collapsed with a bang. Li Jicai was taken aback.

Biyu and Biluo were also so frightened that they hurriedly took several steps back and looked at Li Jicai, and burst into laughter for a long time.

"In disrepair, in disrepair! Stand still. Li Jicai patted his chest, and then said to them as if comforting.

"Yes, miss." Biyu and Biluo laughed for a long time before they could barely stop laughing, and then nodded in agreement.

Li Jicai scratched the back of her head embarrassedly, she just wanted to say that her small courtyard is really strong, and no one came to steal it, it is a miracle, it seems that the security in this capital is really good.

But it's good that she didn't say it, if she said that the door collapsed, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?

But it's only been less than a year, and this door has already broken like this, and it seems that someone has to find someone to fix it.

Li Jicai forgot that she had lived in this small courtyard for many years, and Mrs. Fan was not very particular when she lived alone before, and it was an old house for decades.

They came out of the Four Princes' Mansion in the morning, so it was more than enough time to find someone to repair the door in the afternoon. After all, it is slightly better to walk in all aspects during the day, than to find it in the dark at night.

Li Jicai was also very grateful, the fourth prince Jiang Xihu was able to change his temperament and was willing to let her come out and stay by herself.

It's just that what Li Jicai doesn't know is that when someone was in secret, he had already helped the family to guard the home.

Stepping through the barren courtyard, Li Jicai did not rush into the house, he leaned over to see the only well in the courtyard, the area around the wellhead was dark, and the snow on the well platform had not yet melted, but the water in the well still looked clear and clean, and it could be seen on the human face.

I don't know where the manhole cover went, and I used to be afraid that the dog would drill into the well when I was at home, so I specially found a cover for the well.

The three of them stepped on a lot of footprints in the courtyard, revealing a solid black ground, the soil was a little greasy, and people had to be careful when they went up, as they might fall if they were not careful.

"This, I don't know if I can live in this house, this house is a little broken, or you two should go back to the house first." It's better to live in a luxurious and spacious mansion than in this little rundown compound!

And she got the kitchen to boil water, and then clean it inside and out, after all, she still had to live here for more than two months.

Biyu told the truth, when she came to the small courtyard that Li Jicai said, she was still a little shocked when she saw this bleak and dilapidated scene.

I finally understood why Li Jicai didn't have a fight at all, they had heard the master say it before, but they felt that Li Jicai's origin was very mysterious, and there must be some power behind it or a very high status of origin.

It's just that Li Jicai showed a strange affinity, which made them feel a little flattered, after all, when the master asked them to take care of Li Jicai, they used the word Miss, which explained everything.

Later, I gradually learned and then learned about her background.

"Miss, do you really want to stay here tonight? It seems that it needs to be repaired, and the slave and maid will call someone, and the master has arranged for manpower, just outside, guessing that the young lady may need help. ”

Li Jicai was more or less happy when he heard that there was help outside, but he felt that this was his home, and he was a little embarrassed to bother others.

But just when she was still hesitating, Biyu turned around lightly and walked out.

Also, she really needs someone to help her look at the beams and structures in this house. If she was halfway through her sleep, she suddenly fell off a beam and hit her, wouldn't she die on the spot?

Bi Luo clutched the burden tightly in her hand, she could no longer remember when she had lived in such a deserted-looking house, and she felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

"Biluo, the kitchen is over there, you go to the kitchen with me to boil some water first, let's dust it first."

Li Jicai didn't rush into the house, she was afraid that she would arch to ashes after entering, and she was also afraid that she would collapse the other doors when she went in again, and it would not be good to hit people again.

"Hey!" Bi Luo didn't think much about it, and when she heard Li Jicai call her, she answered her without hesitation, and then followed him and walked towards the kitchen on the right.

This time, Li Jicai opened the door extremely carefully, and the kitchen door was also closed, Li Jicai gently pulled open half of the door, and then took the lead to walk in, Bi Luo followed behind her, and also walked in.

On the ground, between the pots and stoves, and everywhere on the stove, a layer of very obvious whitish ash has accumulated.

It had been in the dust for a long time, and I could be sure that no one had ever entered, and it was as if time had stood still.

When Li Jicai saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel a little lost, after all, he once broke out of his own world in this small kitchen, opened Suiyuanju, and started a business.

I used to sweat and research all kinds of products here, and I thought it should be the time when I worked hardest.

"Miss, you seem to be very nostalgic for this place!" Bi Luo stood aside, not knowing where to start, and was afraid that she would move too much and startle the dust in this place.

But it was embarrassing just to watch from the side, so Bi Luo simply took the initiative to provoke the topic and talked to Li Jicai, who was standing next to her with his back to her.

Li Jicai was falling into the memories of the past at this moment, and he was in a trance.

Hearing Bi Luo's question, she thought for a while and said, "If nothing happened to me, maybe I would have stayed here for the rest of my life." ”

"Accident?"

"Hmm...... You stay here first, I'll fetch water. Because she knew that Bi Luo was not very familiar with this place, Li Jicai did not plan to let her do these things.

I used to cook well, and when Mrs. Fan was there, when Li Ji was there, wasn't it all her Li Jicai who took the initiative to take care of it.

Now that the people are gone, they can't take care of them if they want to.

"Miss, you let the slave and maid come, where do you say? Slaves and maids to do it. As soon as Bi Luo heard her say that she was going to fetch water, she immediately hurriedly came over, how could there be any reason to let the master do rough work? Although she hadn't carried water for a long time.

Li Jicai's hand no longer knows when he has already taken the bucket for carrying water.

"No need, you're not familiar with this place, I'll just come, I can use the stove, right?"

"Miss, it will." Burning a fire is a trivial matter, and Biluo will naturally know how to do it.

While they were talking, Jasper had already walked in with someone.

The three big men have a simple look, and Li Jicai wants to laugh when they see it.

"Since you've invited someone over, let's bother a few people to help me overhaul my home!"
