Last time, Qiuqiu missed the registration time, but this time she was fully prepared and arrived at the foot of Lingyun Peak Mountain several days in advance.
In the evening, Li Yi and Zhang San went to Lingyun Peak, and Qiuqiu lived alone in Li Yi's room.
The room is still the same as before, and the furnishings are still the same, nothing has changed.
It's just that in the original bamboo tube, there are more picture scrolls tied with silk threads.
Qiuqiu opened them one by one and saw that they were all portraits of her.
Nine, ten, eleven, all different shapes, lifelike, each with a smile and carefree.
Qiuqiu pouted, what does Li Yi mean? Knowing that she would live here, he deliberately put these paintings here to show off so that he could tell her that his painting skills were top-notch!
Qiuqiu tied the portraits one by one and put them back in the bamboo tube.
She went to bed, the quilt pillow bed, and she could smell a faint scent of jasmine in everything.
She put a big question mark in her heart, why does Li Yi like jasmine so much?
The next day, Zhang San stayed in Lingyun Peak, and Li Yi came back to accompany Qiuqiu.
Qiuqiu wanted to ride a horse alone, and the plan to go to the neighborhood was broken.
Protected by the southeast and northwest, Li Yi is by her side, and he will go wherever she goes.
The purpose of visiting in autumn and autumn is actually to see the palace of Emperor Yong.
Li Yi objected and said: "What's so beautiful about the palace, it hasn't been built yet, and there are people guarding it around." ”
Qiuqiu didn't listen and insisted on going, but Li Yi had no choice but to take her.
The address of Emperor Yong's palace is not far from Lingyun Peak, and it didn't take long to arrive on horseback.
There are officers and soldiers guarding all around, and there are wooden signs everywhere that read, "The palace is important, and idlers are not allowed to enter".
Li Yi took Qiuqiu up to the nearby hill and looked down on the entire palace.
The whole palace area is huge, there are front gardens and back gardens, main halls and secondary halls, as well as back mountains, hot springs, artificial lakes, and even a racecourse.
A huge building that costs money and labor, rises from the ground in a curse, supervised by the sixth prince Li Jin himself, built for nearly three years, the exterior has been basically renovated, only the interior hardcover.
Qiuqiu looked at the top of the hall, the people who worked hard, and secretly thought in his heart, the second uncle is a carpenter, he should be working in the palace, Uncle Tianbao is a hard worker, and those who bear the mud and stones must be there.
When Emperor Yong built this palace, he not only collected silver from the people, but also collected labor from the people.
Qiuqiu's second uncle Yao Erbao, cousin Yao Tianbao, and some strong men in the village were all recruited.
The men who were conscripted had not returned home once in three years, and they had not been heard from in the absence of any news of life or death.
Their family members can go to the government every month to receive a meager subsidy.
Qiuqiu and Li Yi went down the mountain, and her mood became inexplicably heavy.
I heard the fifth sister say that aunts Liu Chunhua and Liu Qunxiang often cry behind people's backs.
Three years of life and death are boundless, and I don't think about it.
According to internal sources, among the laborers who have been isolated from the world for three years, some of them are dying every day.
Overwhelmed and exhausted, he was beaten to death by the overseer, died by mistake in operation, and died of all kinds of deaths, but the palace was not built and the government did not announce it.
Li Yi held Qiuqiu's hand and comforted her: "Don't think about it so much, Uncle Erbao and Uncle Tianbao, they will be fine." ”
Qiuqiu held Li Yi's hand, no wonder he didn't want to bring her, it turned out that he thought she would be sentimental.
On June 25, Li Yi didn't see anyone all day, and many people came to the foot of Lingyun Peak, adults and children, bustling.
They all came from afar to send their children to Lingyun Sect to learn art.
