"Master Ma is back?" Li Wenyi wasn't surprised, he just smiled and greeted him.
Instead, Master Ma stood up and bowed, saying, "This student greets you, sir. It seems you have already met your family? This must be the younger sister you often mention, right? Just as you said, she seems exceptionally intelligent."
Ye Shuang raised an eyebrow. Hey, this guy is not only good-looking and eloquent, but his voice is also incredibly melodious. Truly, a gentleman is like fine jade—that's absolutely true! "Greetings, Master Ma~"
Li Wenyi patted Ye Shuang's head: "Good girl, stay here with your brother for a while, okay? We'll go home for lunch later."
Now that she was already there, did Ye Shuang have any chance to refuse? She could only passively stay in Li Wenyi's arms, letting him lead her to sit behind another table, open the tedious official documents, and read them with him.
Ye Shuang has now learned most of the characters here. This official document is about the arrangements for the upcoming Lantern Festival. The county town is not small, with four main streets. It is about whether the lantern market will be held in the East Market or the West Market, when it will open and close, which locations should be guarded, and which locations do not need to be guarded. Ye Shuang is getting a little dizzy from reading it.
However, Li Wenyi patiently read through the document, then took out a map of the county to compare it with the map, and even discussed with Master Ma how to deal with various possible accidents. Since there was military assistance this year, these personnel should be used effectively.
In previous years, the Lantern Festival was always plagued by various accidents, big and small, such as lost children, stampedes, and fires. Due to a shortage of manpower, everyone in the county government was extremely busy. So how to arrange these people this year to ensure that accidents can be resolved as quickly as possible?
If this were in the world of cultivation, it would just be a matter of a magic spell. Ye Shuang is the least likely to be bothered with such trivial matters. But seeing Li Wenyi planning so seriously, she subconsciously used her divine sense to explore the entire county and simulated various possibilities in the places he mentioned.
But what's the use of simulating it? She doesn't have the right to say that right now! Ye Shuang suddenly realized that she was wasting her spiritual energy again. After a moment of silence, she found that she didn't feel regret at all, but only that it was worth it. Worth it for what? What's the point?
"Shuang'er?" Li Wenyi's gentle voice woke Ye Shuang from her reverie. "What are you thinking about?"
Ye Shuang revealed a childlike and adorable smile: "The Lantern Festival must be very lively, right?"
“Yes, you haven’t participated in previous years. The Lantern Festival is the most lively festival of the year here. Everyone comes to the streets to release lanterns, write wishes and prayers, and there’s a special lantern competition. There are also all kinds of vendors selling all sorts of little things. If Shuang’er wants anything, your brother will buy it for you.” Li Wenyi put down his pen, picked up Ye Shuang, and stood up. “It’s almost time. We should go home for dinner. Shuang’er, say goodbye to Master Ma.”
Ye Shuang looked at the gentle and refined Master Ma who was always smiling and said, "Master Ma, would you like to have lunch with us? My parents will definitely want to see you."
"Oh? Why is that?" Master Ma found Ye Shuang's mature demeanor quite amusing and asked in return.
