Chapter 723: Temporary Substitute

Li Yi couldn't help but smile dumbly: "I see, hehe!" It seems that I am a little greedy and overdone. Oh! I don't know how much rice there is in this case? ”

Li Quan said happily: "The viscount who was awarded the title of the third master also makes a lot of progress every year!" Not only do they have 800 taels of silver and 120 stone rice every year, but also six pieces of cloth, a piece of silk, and 500 catties of charcoal, and their annual income has long exceeded that of ordinary five-grade Beijing officials. ”

Li Yi nodded secretly in his heart, becoming a viscount at such a young age is really incredible for some people. As Li Quan said, there are no titles for people with the rank of generals and squires, and it is not surprising that there are many people who are jealous of the hot eyes.

Although the income of this title is huge, he can't enjoy it alone, so it's best to hand it all over to Mrs. Liu, and save some people from gossiping.

Thinking of this, Li Yi smiled and said, "Since you have brought it, you will hand it all over to the mansion!" You tell Mrs. that we don't lack anything here, let's put it in the house and arrange for use! ”

When Li Quan heard this, there was a look of admiration in his eyes, but he said with a smile: "Although the third master is generous, the lady has already explained, and there is no shortage of money in the family. ”

"The little one has already been calculated, this time the third master received a total of 1,600 taels of silver, 240 stone rice, 12 pieces of cloth, 2 horses of silk, and 1,000 catties of charcoal. I'll bring someone to you later. ”

Hearing this, Li Yi couldn't help frowning and said: "Where do I use so much money and food, besides, it's useless to put it in my place, I'll go and tell my wife about it in a while, just put it all in the house." ”

Li Quan shook his head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Third master, don't be embarrassed for me, Mrs. has already arranged it early in the morning, and the little one can only do it." ”

Li Yi smiled and said, "Since you don't dare to call the shots, then I'll go to Mrs. and talk about it." ”

Just as he was saying this, he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting: "Runzhi! Runzhi! Wait for me a moment. ”

Li Yi turned his head and saw a carriage rushing on the street in the distance, a few feet away, there was a person sticking his head out of the window of the carriage and shouting continuously, and when he got closer, Li Yi saw clearly, but it turned out to be Chen Yongzhuo.

Li Yi was secretly amused in his heart, this master of the Hanlin Academy, shouting on the street, is really unorthodox, it seems that this old master is really cute!

Li Yi stepped forward, and Chen Yongzhuo also got out of the carriage, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said to Li Yi breathlessly: "Oh! Hehe! Runzhi! I'm really sorry, hehe! I'm going to come over to trouble you at this time, I hope you don't be surprised! ”

Li Yi smiled and said: "Lord Chen has an order, and the officials have no disobedience, but I don't know what Lord Chen is in such a hurry to come, what are his orders?" ”

Chen Yongclumsy smiled embarrassedly: "Alas! I'm going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing! Hehe! There is really something difficult to do, so I rushed over in the dust, hehe! You don't know, just now my carriage was about to leave the city, but it was caught up by Old Master Zou. The family is still waiting for me to rush back to the countryside for the Chinese New Year! ”

Li Yi was stunned and said, "What's so urgent?" It's all the New Year's Day, and it's really unreasonable to get you back quickly! ”

Chen Yong smiled bitterly: "It's not an important event, but... It's that Master Feng's grandmother has just passed away, and it is definitely impossible to come over tonight, and Old Master Zou is on duty in the palace again, and I have to rush back to my home in the countryside in a hurry, and the others are not in Beijing. ”

"Alas! During this Chinese New Year, Chongwen Academy stipulates that there must be a Hanlin bachelor on duty at night, otherwise there will be a very strict assessment, which has been precedent in previous years. Cough! I don't really know how to deal with this. ”

Li Yi couldn't help but suddenly realize, it turned out that Chen Yongclumsy came in such a hurry, he wanted to replace Feng Yuan at night, this Chinese New Year's Eve, who wants to spend it in the cold Hanlin Courtyard! It seems that he really can't find anyone, so he thought of himself as a 'newcomer'.

Thinking of this, Li Yi couldn't help but smile and said, "Master Chen, don't worry, aren't I just an idler?" Hehe! You haven't arranged for me to do anything this year, and I thought you were afraid that I would be too qualified, so you took care of me and didn't give me a ministry! ”

Chen Yongzhuo smiled awkwardly and said, "That's not it, hehe!" You came back from Yunnan with a tired saddle horse, and as soon as you arrived at the Hanlin Academy, I arranged for you to be on duty at night, which is really a bit unusual. So I thought I'd let you take a break first and wait until next year. Hehe! What I didn't expect was that I encountered this stubble again, and it seems that you can't do it without bothering you. ”

Li Yi nodded happily and said, "Don't worry, Lord Chen, there is no problem with this matter, I am also idle and bored at home, and I am looking for something to do!" Since Feng Yuan is grandmother has passed away, I'm afraid the family is also busy, so let him take a good rest at home and take care of the housework! Not only today, but I have taken all his nights for him this year, saving him from being restless. ”

Chen Yong said with humility: "I know that Runzhi is a refreshing person, then I will rest assured." Hehe! You're right, let Feng Yuan stay at home this year! He has a total of five nights this year, namely the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the third day of the new year, the seventh day of the new year, the eleventh day of the first month, and the fifteenth day of the new year. Oh! Also, you don't have to go too early tonight, just arrive before the hour. ”

After Li Yi readily agreed, Chen thanked him with a clumsy smile, hurriedly said goodbye to Li Yi, and got into the carriage.

Back in the house, Li Yi went straight to the back house of the inner mansion, no matter what Mrs. Liu said, he had to show an attitude that it really didn't matter if he had money or not, what he had in his hand was that he must let his family understand that his attitude towards money would never be careful.

When he came to the main room of the inner house, Mrs. Liu was drinking tea and laughing with Han Ji, Li Yi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mother, aunt, there is one thing I am about to return to my mother, I don't know ......."

Mrs. Liu chuckled and said, "I know what you mean, do you want to hand over all the income from the title to the mansion!" Hehe! Didn't I already say that? You keep it for yourself, and there is nothing lacking in the house, and you can buy some property by yourself, which can be regarded as living a good life. ”
