"Hmm? Little Yu 'er, it's already so late. Why haven't you gone back yet? "
After telling Li Tai about going to the north to set up a telegraph, Li Zexuan went straight to the editorial department of Datang Daily. At this time, the editorial department was still lit up (the workshop had already been electrified and it wouldn't be long before most of Lantian County would be electrified). When Li Zexuan walked in, he saw Little Yu 'er sitting on a chair and flipping through something. She was so focused that she didn't even notice that someone had come in. Li Zexuan couldn't help but quietly walk up to her and said.
"… Mister, you're here!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Little Fishy was shocked. She quickly put down the document in her hand and stood up, saying, "Little Four came over earlier and said that you had something important to make a copy of. I thought that since it was something important, it wouldn't be appropriate to leave it to the craftsmen. It just so happens that I'm also very familiar with our movable type printing method, so I stayed and waited for you!"
"You little girl!"
Li Zexuan shook his head and laughed, "This kind of work should be left to a reliable person. You're a little girl. If you don't go back at this time, wouldn't it be unsafe to walk at night?"
Li Yu didn't care and said, "What's wrong with that? Lantian County is mister's territory. The law and order here are very good. Could it be that there are criminals? Besides, I went to investigate the county magistrate of Hua County by myself. Didn't I come out unscathed? "
Hearing this, Li Zexuan couldn't help but stare at Li Yu angrily and said, "You little girl still have the nerve to say that. If Yuxi didn't mention this to me a few days ago, I wouldn't even know about it. Although you're a gold medal reporter personally appointed by the Emperor and can supervise all illegal things in the world, if you went to investigate the county magistrate alone, what would you do if the other party became desperate and killed you to silence you?"
In fact, ever since Li Yu was given the title of a gold medal reporter, she was not 'honest' at all. This girl would often mingle in the streets and restaurants. Whenever she heard of corrupt officials or illegal activities, she would either arrange for someone she trusted to investigate in secret or disguise herself and investigate on her own.
A few days ago, after Li Yu returned from the north, he heard that the people of Hua County were unable to receive any relief food. (After the locust plague, the imperial court distributed a certain amount of relief food according to the severity of the disaster.) When Li Yu heard this, he didn't know where he got his courage from. After a little preparation, he actually went to Hua County alone to secretly investigate!
Fortunately, the county magistrate of Hua County wasn't very vigilant. After Li Yu's identity was exposed, the Hua County Warden decisively sided with Li Yu. That was how Li Yu was able to find out that the county magistrate of Hua County had embezzled disaster relief food and escape unscathed.
Li Zexuan had also heard about this matter two days ago when he was chatting with Han Yuxi. At that time, he was really worried for Li Yu. He secretly wondered why this little girl was so bold. She always did things that ordinary people couldn't do.
"Cough cough! Mister, please don't mention this matter anymore. Aren't I fine now? "
Although Li Zexuan's tone was strict, the care and love in his words couldn't be concealed. Li Yu's heart was warmed, but she still acted coquettishly. She quickly changed the topic and said, "Oh right! Mister! Don't you have something to make a copy of? Quickly give it to me. I'll go and arrange it for you! "
Although Li Zexuan knew that Li Yu was deliberately changing the topic, he still took out the 《Six Armies Mirror》 from his chest and handed it to her. He said, "There's a lot of content. I estimate that you'll be done by midnight! After you're done, don't go back to the county. Go directly to Yunshan Courtyard. It's been empty recently! "
Ever since the Marquis' residence in Lantian County was built, the Li family's Yunshan Courtyard was rarely used. Even so, there were still maids taking care of and tidying up the place every day.
Li Yu was delighted when she heard this, but she said, "Erm, Mister, this isn't good, right?"
Li Zexuan said unhappily, "What's not good about it? But you're going back to the county in the middle of the night. Even if you don't meet any bad people, if you fall into a ditch, you won't be able to call for help! From the workshop to Yunshan Courtyard, there are street lamps all the way. There won't be any accidents! "
Li Yu smiled and said, "Thank you, Mister! Then I'll go make a copy of the book! "
After that, Li Yu took the 《Six Armies Mirror》 from Li Zexuan's hands and went out the door!
Looking at the girl's energetic back, Li Zexuan shook his head helplessly.
However, looking at Li Yu's state today, it seemed that she was slowly getting used to the position of the editorial department's supervisor. A few days ago, Ma Zhou went to Qingzhou to take up the position of the Provincial Governor. The entire editorial department's heavy burden fell on Li Yu's shoulders.
At first, Li Zexuan was worried that this girl wouldn't be able to handle such a huge pressure. However, after Ma Zhou left, the Datang Daily editorial department had been operating normally without any problems. This meant that Li Yu was slowly able to control this huge mess!
In the editorial department, Li Zexuan looked at the manuscripts on the various desks, as well as the previous issues of Datang Daily. Only then did he leave with his hands behind his back. After leaving the workshop, he rode on Da Bai and returned to the Marquis' residence in Lantian County.
…
"Husband, you're back? I'll go prepare some food for you! "
When he returned to the Marquis' residence, the sky was already dark. Seeing that Li Zexuan had returned, Han Yuxi quickly went up to him and said.
Li Zexuan came back too late, so no one waited for him to have dinner together.
Li Zexuan said casually, "No need to trouble yourself. Let the kitchen maid heat up the dinner. I'll just eat whatever I want!"
Han Yuxi frowned. However, seeing that Li Zexuan was so insistent, she couldn't persuade him. She could only let Xiao He instruct the kitchen.
After a while, the dishes were served. Li Zexuan picked up his bowl and started eating without caring about his image. This was only when they were a couple. When there were other people present, he still had to be careful about his image as Marquis.
Han Yuxi supported her chin and looked at the man in front of her without blinking. Although the way this man ate was not elegant at all, it didn't hinder her from liking him. She secretly thought that this was what it meant to be real and not fake!
(Anyway, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Li Zexuan is the best no matter what.)
Han Yuxi knew that Li Zexuan would leave Lantian County tomorrow to take up his position in the Black Armored Army. Therefore, in these last few hours, she couldn't bear to look away from Li Zexuan!
"Ahem! What's wrong? Wife? Didn't your husband wash his face this morning? "
Feeling Han Yuxi's gaze, Li Zexuan couldn't help but touch his face and look at Han Yuxi.
