Early in the morning of the third day, Li Guan and others went on the road back to Beijing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After three or four hours of bumpy carriages and horses, they finally arrived in the capital at noon.

Li Wan said goodbye to Ye Zicheng and others at the city gate, Dong Linzhi still wanted to follow her, but she scolded him back: "After going out to play for so many days, don't you have to go back to see your parents and brothers and report your safety?" My mother must have prepared a table of delicacies waiting for me to go back, so what's the matter with you following me? ”

Dong Linzhi was speechless in shame.

Li Guan turned his head and left.

Back at the Remnant Lotus Pavilion, Li Guan couldn't wait to instruct Hewang: "Quick, take Feng Shizi's name card to Gu Mansion to find Gu Gongzi, just say that I have come back, ask him when he is free, I want to make an appointment with him to meet at the brewing house." ”

Hewang smiled and nodded, went to the study to get the name card, and asked Rong Er to pretend to be a little guy and go to the Gu Mansion.

As soon as Rong Er left, Mrs. Li sent someone to invite Li Guan over for lunch.

Chu Fang and the others were busy serving Li Guan to freshen up and change clothes.

"Oh, by the way, Miss, the ibis girl has returned to Beijing!" Taking advantage of the combing of his hair, he said to Li Guan.

Li Guan was taken aback: "When?" Where is she? ”

"She arrived as soon as you went out on the front foot that day." Chu Fang smiled, "Miss Ibis originally wanted to surprise you, but I didn't expect it to be so unlucky. Knowing that you had gone out to play, the girl went back to Meng's house, saying that she would come back to see you at the Lotus Pavilion when you came back. ”

Li Guan smiled: "What a surprise, every time she comes, she makes me uncomfortable!" Fortunately, she spends most of the year in Jiangnan to take care of business, otherwise I would have to be annoyed by her! ”

Chu Fang knew that she was showing her intimacy with the ibis, so she said: "The ibis girl has a lively temperament, with her, the house is always full of laughter, much more lively than usual!" The slaves and maidservants are looking forward to her return! ”

Li Wan thinks about it, not to mention picking up them, even the little maid below also likes the ibis language, because every time she returns to Beijing, she always brings a lot of fresh gadgets, and snacks are even more about car outfits. She is generous and generous, every time she comes back, the house is like a festival, and everyone is happy!

For a while, everyone was happy when they thought of the ibis.

With this happy mood, Li Guan packed up and went to Mrs. Li's house.

As soon as they met, Mrs. Li took her hand and asked her if she was tired on the road and if she was frozen and hungry on the mountain.

Li Zhizhu curiously asked her if she had been having fun these days, and whether she had hunted any prey with her own hands.

Li Guan picked a few interesting things to tell them, and they had a good meal.

Returning from Mrs. Li's place, Li Guan was about to take a nap, and as soon as he undressed and lay down, he heard a commotion in the courtyard.

With the hearty laughter of the woman like a silver bell and the sound of the maids saying hello, a red figure rushed in from outside the door and rushed directly to Li Guan's bed.

Li Guan was lying on his side with his eyes closed, looking like he was asleep.

Someone came to her and laughed: "Miss, don't pretend, Chu Fang said that you just lay down, how could you fall asleep so quickly!" ”

Li Guan opened his eyes and propped up his upper body, and said with a straight face: "As soon as I come back, I will be noisy!" No matter how you go, you are so much moving, for fear that others will not know that it is you! But as soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh first.

The woman in red sitting on the edge of her bed, that is, the ibis, pouted, "You dislike me every time!" I'm going to be! ”

Li Wan knew that she was messing around with herself, and was about to make fun of her, when Hewang, who had just come in from outside the door, reprimanded: "What are you, yours, do you talk to Miss like this?" Knowing that the young lady is resting, you still come in and shout, I think next time you should order Rong Si and them to shut you out! ”

The ibis's mouth pursed higher, and he complained to Li Guan: "She murdered me!" ”

Li Wan has always indulged her, and immediately put his arm around her shoulders and looked at the crane: "It's okay, it's okay, she's joking with me!" "A look that is very protective of her.

Crane Wang shook his head helplessly.

Li Wan asked the ibis: "Why did you come here so quickly?" I don't seem to have someone go to the Meng family to spread the word, right? ”

Ibis smiled proudly and said, "I went out to talk about business this morning, and I happened to pass by here on the way home, thinking that maybe you have come back, so I simply came in to have a look, but I didn't expect you to be really at home!" Chu Fang said that you also just came back at noon, I think we call it telepathy! ”

"What telepathy!"

Li Wan laughed wildly, lifted the quilt and got down from under the bed, and Hewang hurriedly stepped forward to serve her to change clothes.

When the ibis saw it, he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror and helped Li Guan sort out his clothes.

Li Wan looked at her bright eyebrows, and asked with a smile, "What business are you going to talk about today?" ”

Ibis carefully buttoned the plum blossom button on her collar for her, and said mysteriously: "A big business!" If you knew, you'd be shocked! ”

"Big business?" Li Guan raised his eyebrows: "What big business?" ”

Ibis covered her lips and smiled, and instructed Zhu Fang: "Go and bring up the sugar-fried chestnuts I bought, and make a cup of Biluochun!" Then he reached out to help Li Guan, "Let's go sit outside and talk while eating." ”

Li Wan followed her out of the bedroom and sat on the kang outside.

The sugar-fried chestnuts with blue and white entwined branches were already placed on the kang table, and the ibis first picked a large one and peeled it for Li Guan to eat, and then said: "Do you know about the snow disaster in Shandong this year?" I heard that Jinan, Linyi, Weifang and other places were not spared, except for those high-ranking families and landlords and squires, ordinary people were displaced, starved and frozen, and could not even eat a meal of gruel. The prefect of Jinan was ineffective in disaster relief, and for fear of being blamed from above, he even concealed the disaster, and when the news came out, nearly 2,000 people had starved to death in Jinan alone. When the imperial court found out, the prefect of Jinan was dismissed, and the political envoy of Shandong Province was ordered to personally direct the disaster relief, and also allocated silver from the treasury, and ordered the household department to prepare food and send it to Jinan as soon as possible to solve the urgent need......"

Li Wan listened, his face gradually smiled, and he gently threw the half-peeled chestnuts in his hand back on the plate.

When Ibis asked her, "How much money do you guess the imperial court took out this time to provide disaster relief", she was expressionless, and asked instead of answering: "Have you seen Qin Yu?" ”

Hearing her mention Qin Yu's name, Ibis Yu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you know about this, I thought you didn't know!" ”

She looked at Li Guan excitedly, and then said, "Then do you know the amount of disaster silver?" That's the number! She shook her three fingers, "Three million taels!" Three million taels! I didn't expect the court to be so generous this time, and I took out three million taels of silver just to buy food! ”

The ibis was full of emotion, and did not notice Li Guan's surprisingly calm expression.

Needless to say, Li Guan already knows what the big business she is talking about.

But even so, Li Wan still wanted to confirm whether it was as she thought, so she asked, "Have you already negotiated with Qin Yu and let the Meng family take over this business?" ”

PS: Well, it's very gratifying to see that the collection is slowly increasing...... It would be even better if the testimonials could keep up......
