Since Asu worshiped Li Mi as his father-in-law, Li Mi was also warmly invited by He Erniang to join the Li Family Grange in the canal repair project. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

How smart Li Mi is, under his guidance, the canal quickly completed the preliminary work such as water source selection and design, and the water source was still selected in Hongshan Lake, although the soil near Hongshan Lake is relatively hard, but Li Mi helped them find a relatively loose place to excavate, and the progress of the construction of the new canal was not affected by the soil quality, which made He Erniang and them very happy.

The project is in full swing, and it is optimistically estimated that it can be completed before the Spring Festival, Aso doesn't want to rush back to Lingzhou, and He Erniang is a total, and I think it's better to wait for the canal to be completed and then go back to Lingzhou for the New Year, anyway, there is a father-in-law here to chat and talk, and the nearby environment is also very good, and it is difficult to come out once.

He Erniang was not reluctant, so she wrote two letters out, and the content was roughly the same. One was sent to Mrs. Wang, and the other was sent to Li Guangbi in the capital, informing him of the construction of the canal, and mentioning that Aso was fortunate enough to recognize a knowledgeable father-in-law here, and prepared to return to his home in Lingzhou after the canal was completed. As for the true origin of this stepfather, Mrs. Wang and He Erniang naturally don't know.

But when the letter arrived in Chang'an and was in the hands of Li Guangbi, the meaning became different.

Li Guangbi looked at what the letter said, Asu's father-in-law was called Li Mi, and he was shocked, could this Li Mi be the sixth grandson of Li Bi of the "Eight Pillars Kingdom" in the Western Wei Dynasty, who was deeply appreciated by Tang Xuanzong and ordered him to treat Zhao Hanlin as a subordinate official of the East Palace, and later resigned and returned to the field because of Yang Guozhong? He Erniang's letter was naturally unclear, and Li Guangbi didn't want to ask directly in the letter, I was afraid that I would only know the reason for this matter if I asked Asu in person.

It's November now, Wuju people and scientific examinations have started to register, Li Guangbi thought that Li Xiang would probably leave here in a few days to register for the exam, Li Guangbi had just bought a house in Chang'an, and he was resting and arranging it, why not let Asu help tidy up the house, just let Li Xiang bring her over, some words, you have to say it in person.

So Li Guangbi repaired a letter to Mrs. Wang and He Erniang respectively, saying that it was approaching the end of the year, and the house here had been found, but it had not yet been arranged, and he hoped that Li Xiang would bring Asu with him when he came here to register for the martial arts exam, and let Asu be responsible for helping Zhang Luo tidy up the small mansion here.

Strive to clean up the house in Chang'an as soon as possible, and the old lady and Mrs. Wang of Lingzhou can be escorted by Li Yizhong before the New Year, and the family can reunite in Chang'an for the New Year.

During these days, in addition to occasionally following He Erniang to supervise the construction of the canal, Asu followed Li Mi to visit the lake and mountains, and chatted with the sea in the south and the north, but Li Mi has a free and easy personality, the four seas are his home, and he likes to visit famous mountains and rivers. I don't know when I will come back, Aso can't help but feel a little lonely again.

A letter from my uncle this morning broke the loneliness, because the letter was followed by my second cousin Li Xiang. He Erniang received Chang'an's letter on the front foot, and was discussing with Asu when to leave, when Li Xiang's horse came to the front of the yard.

"Auntie, my aunt asked me to come here to pick up Asu and go to Chang'an together." Li Xiang ran directly to the subject when he entered the door, and smiled at Asu after speaking.

Asu was both happy and suspicious in his heart, of course it was good to go to Chang'an, not to mention that Chang'an is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, how prosperous, that is, he could go over there to see Li Hui, Asu was very willing in his heart, but why did he suddenly call her to go alone, could it be that he proposed to repair the canal, and his uncle noticed that he was talented, haha. Thinking of it, the corners of Asu's mouth couldn't help but smile smugly.

As soon as Li Xiang saw Asu's secretly silly appearance, he deliberately teased her and asked, "Asu, are you very happy to think of going to Chang'an with me, I am so overjoyed, I am embarrassed to look at it, girls still have to be reserved." After speaking, he deliberately winked at Asu, with a smug look.

Asu randomly rolled his eyes, how could this Li Xiang feel so good about himself at any time, and hurriedly said, "I won't go on the road alone with the two of you, Ah Niang, you have to send me another person, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be angry on the road." ”

He Erniang looked at the pair of children arguing with each other, and thought in her heart, it would be good for Asu to marry this second cousin in the future, this time is a good opportunity, but it is true that although they are relatives, after all, it is not good for two people who are still young boys and girls to travel alone, and it is still a little inappropriate for lonely men and widows to go on the road together.

So she hurriedly went to the inner room to call Xiao Ju over, He Erniang took Xiao Ju's hand and said, "Xiao Ju, this time I went to Chang'an, I will trouble you to take care of Asu along the way." ”

Xiao Ju was excited when she heard this, and hurriedly nodded, she had only been to this Li Family Grange when she was so big, she could go to Chang'an to see it, and if she didn't have the opportunity to come, she immediately promised, "He Erniang rest assured, Xiao Ju will definitely take good care of the little lady and keep the little lady eating for nothing." ”

As soon as these words came out, He Erniang and Li Xiang laughed, Asu's face turned red, and he said angrily, "Xiaoju, what do you mean to be white and fat." You're not going to raise pigs. ”

"By the way, Asu, I heard A-Niang say that you have recognized a stepfather here, and when you go to say goodbye to your stepfather, take me to meet you too." Li Xiang suddenly remembered Asu's adventure at this time, and when He Erniang's letter praised Li Yu's character like that, he was very curious and wanted to meet him.

Who knew that Asu listened, but replied helplessly, "Unfortunately, my father-in-law went out for a long trip yesterday." Second cousin, I really didn't lie to you, my father-in-law, is a real hermit master, his whereabouts are erratic, and I don't know where he went or when he will come back. ”

Looking at Li Xiang's expression of disbelief, you lied to me, He Erniang also hurriedly explained, "Erlang, Asu really didn't bluff you, Mr. Li is really going out, just see you next time." ”

Li Xiang had to sigh when he heard this, "It seems that I have no relationship with the master, so it's okay." Assuna, let's pack our things early and set off early, but it's getting colder and colder every day. ”

"Do you want to leave today? Isn't it too hasty. Aso wondered.

He Erniang walked over, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Erlang is right, let's go early, you don't have many things, Xiaoju and I will go to help you clean up, and bring some dry food to eat on the way, it will take several days to go along the way." After that, he hurriedly beckoned Xiaoju to go out and get busy.
