Li Wenyi picked up Ye Shuang, who had run out of her room, and asked, "Shuang'er, how is it? Do you like your room?"
Ye Shuang nodded earnestly: "I like it, brother is amazing!"
Madam Li also came out of the room, her face full of relief, but also a trace of worry: "Wenyi, this house must have cost you a lot of money, right? You just took office and don't have much money to begin with. We're only staying for a few days, why prepare so much? Wouldn't it be a waste after we leave?"
Li Wenyi stepped forward with a smile: "Mother, this house was originally prepared for each county magistrate. I arranged everything in the room myself, and it didn't cost much money at all. If you think it's a waste, why don't you and Father move to the county town with Shuang'er? That way, you can also keep an eye on me and make sure I don't waste money."
Li Mantian came out at this moment, patted Li Wenyi on the shoulder and said, "You've gone to a lot of trouble, but it's fine to move here. Your mother and I are used to living in the village. This is good. If your mother misses you, she can come to the county to keep you company for a few days."
Upon hearing this, Madam Li stroked her hair and smiled gently. "Wenyi is all grown up now, there's nothing to miss. Besides, Shuang'er is still so young, how can she be away from me for a few days? As for your father, if he misses you, he can come and stay for a few days."
Ye Shuang and Li Wenyi's gazes slowly shifted to Li Mantian, only to see him clear his throat and look around aimlessly, refusing to look at them.
Li Wenyi forced a smile: "Father, Mother, you two rest for a while. I'll take Shuang'er to the yamen for a stroll."
"Go ahead, go ahead." Li Mantian waved to him as if he had been saved. "Your mother and I will pack our things too. Remember to come back for dinner later."
"Yes, I saw the vegetable stalls on my way here. Oh my, those vegetables look so fresh and cheap. I have to hurry and buy some, or they'll be sold out soon." Li straightened her clothes, walked past the brother and sister and went out the door. But her back view looked like she was fleeing in panic.
Li Mantian was the same; he kept going in and out of the house, moving this and that, but he never looked at Li Wenyi.
Li Wenyi sighed slightly. Luckily, he had picked up Ye Shuang when he came in, otherwise he would probably have to go to the county government office alone now.
Before Ye Shuang could speak, Li Wenyi carried her out of the courtyard and headed towards the county government office. On the way, he suddenly asked curiously, "Shuang'er, did your parents mention me when we were at home?"
Ah... Ye Shuang tried hard to recall, and said with an embarrassed fake smile, "I think it was mentioned once or twice, right? Brother, I go up the mountain every day, and I don't spend much time with Father and Mother!"
Li Wenyi sighed. Not only did he fail to obtain what he wanted by taking the imperial examination, but he also indirectly lost his parents. Although he had a vague feeling about this before taking the exam, it had become particularly strong now!
It wasn't a good place to take Ye Shuang to play in the county government's courtroom, but the place where he often reviewed official documents was just right. When Li Wenyi went in, there was already one person sitting inside.
Ye Shuang looked over and saw that the man was exceptionally handsome. Although he was clearly a man, he looked like a woman. He could not be described as handsome, but rather as beautiful.
