Good luck every time

The marriage of Li Shiliu and Sun Xiaoxian was soon settled.

However, Sun Laoqi required the other party to strictly follow the process and not make any mistakes or omissions.

The entire wedding process would take at least half a year.

However, Li Shiliu was not in a hurry at all.

He is not only tactful but also patient.

Not to mention the matter of getting married, just for Li Ruyi's invisible and intangible future, he dared to be the third brother's apprentice for such a long time. You can tell that he is not an ordinary person!

However, fate is hard to explain.

Li Ruyi felt that Li Shiliu was rare, but she was more compatible with Li Er. As long as Li Shiliu was under her command, he would never be able to surpass Li Er.

When some things are taken to the extreme, it is no longer a question of ability.

Li Shiliu knew it clearly in his heart.

But he doesn't care!

The days passed slowly as Li Ruyi ate melons and felt anxious.

The corn in the field was harvested, and the yield was indeed much reduced.

Li Ruyi's beets were not greatly affected, but after this year, she would not be able to grow so many beets.

The imperial court stipulated that every household must grow 80% of their land for grain, and the remaining 20% ​​could be used to grow other things.

If Li Ruyi wants to maintain the current amount of beets every year, he has to get the villagers to grow them together.

This is simple. After all, she has experience and knows roughly how many beets can make one pound of syrup. As long as she calculates the price, she will know the reasonable purchase price.

When she figured it out, she went to find the village head and Li Dasheng.

In the first year, everyone didn't know the situation and might not be willing to grow beets, so they needed someone with prestige to come forward and help mediate.

In fact, Li Dasheng did not have this ability, but Li Ruyi was just pretending, and she never thought of relying on the Li family.

Sure enough, the village head was much more reliable than Li Dasheng. He quickly found several families and made arrangements to grow beets next year.

Li Ruyi is about to start making sugar again.

When Han Shian came back, Li Ruyi was so sleepy that she almost fell into the sugar pot.

Li Ruyi didn't know why he came back so late, but she immediately handed over the work in her hands and followed Han Shian to the river.

Han Shian saw her yawning while walking and asked her.

"Why are you so sleepy? How long has it been since you had a good sleep?"

Li Ruyi nodded.

"Well! I want to find an opportunity to go to the capital city and see if I can sell these candies for a good price."

Han Shian looked at her.

"How many days have you not slept?"

Li Ruyi's brain reacted slowly and he thought for a while before speaking.

"Three or four days! But I meditate every day."

Meditation does not replace sleep for her, it just makes her body last longer.

"Master doesn't care about you either?"

Why didn’t Granny Ding say anything?

But time waits for no one. After paying the taxes, the villagers had little left over.

She had to prepare quickly.

"That's right! By the way..."

Li Ruyi didn't want him to ask any more questions, so she changed the subject.

"Why are you back at this time?"

Han Shian was silent for a moment before speaking.

"I found a job. I'm going to work as a staff member for the county magistrate in the county government office."

This time it was Li Ruyi who was stunned.

"Why? You won't take the imperial examination anymore?"

The wind blew through the two people's hair. The autumn heat was about to leave, and the wind by the river was cool, blowing away a lot of beauty.

"I will still participate in the imperial examination, but I don't want more people to die!"

Li Ruyi suddenly understood. She turned her head and looked at the sparkling river surface.

The county magistrate does not know how to be an official.

But Han Shian can.

For the first time in his life, Li Ruyi became curious about his past life.

She wanted to know what kind of life the people there led after Han Shian arrived in that remote small county and became a ninth-rank official.

“Is this your ideal?”

Many people worked as staff for powerful people before they became famous.

But among those powerful people, the magistrate of a small county is definitely not included!

Han Shian was very calm and he agreed softly.

"Ok!"

Li Ruyi sighed.

"As long as you have a plan in mind, if there is any way you can use me, just ask."

Han Shian smiled immediately.

"I will be busy in the future, so I can't take care of the salt tax for the time being, but I have already informed the people in the county government, so you can go and collect it yourself in the future."

After speaking, he added another sentence.

"If you give me the capital, you don't have to give me five strings of cash every month in the future!"

The entanglement between the two is getting deeper and deeper. Han Shian knows that even without the salt sticker, Li Ruyi can't get rid of him, so let it be!

But Li Ruyi thought about it and refused.

"That's it! If I don't share the money with you, I won't have peace in the village."

She is a member of the Li family and is familiar with the village head. Because of Han Shian, she also dragged the Han family into the battle.

No matter how deep the hostility of Patriarch Han towards her was, when the time came when he needed Li Ruyi's help, he would have a way out, and the people of the Han family would be used by her sooner or later.

But if Han Shian leaves at this time, her relationship with the Han family will change.

Five strings of cash a month was not much for her.

Han Shian wanted to say that as long as the two of them didn’t say anything, no one would know.

But when he thought about it, it was a bit ridiculous to buy out Li Ruyi's bottom line with such a small amount of money, so he didn't say anything more.

The two of them sat quietly for a while. It was so boring that Li Ruyi tilted his head and dozed off.

Han Shian held her head.

Li Ruyi suddenly came to his senses again.

"You are too tired, take a rest!"

Without this sleepiness, Li Ruyi might have been able to hold on for a while, but this sleepiness was too sweet and Han Shian's voice was so gentle that she felt sleepy again as she listened.

Li Ruyi simply lay down on the yellowed grass and fell asleep as soon as he turned over.

Han Shian looked at the dark circles under her eyes, shifted his gaze away, and sat quietly not far from her.

The surface of the river was blown by the wind, creating layers of fine water shimmers.

Li Ruyi didn't sleep for long, only about half an hour.

She stretched, yawned, and looked up to see Han Shian turning his gaze towards her.

From her angle, she could just see that Han Shian's eyelashes cast a shadow on his eyes, making his eyes look dark.

Li Ruyi reached out and patted him.

"I feel more powerful when I think of you working hard too!"

Her voice was hoarse, as if she had just woken up, and there was a sense of intimacy in her casualness that others could not feel.

They have one of the few great blessings in this world.

There is also a tacit understanding that others will never be able to understand.

Han Shian smiled.

"Let's go! Stop working so hard! No one can carry all the people on their shoulders. It won't be a problem if you do less!"

Li Ruyi sat up and stretched.

The two of them then returned to Sanjia Village side by side.
