His appearance made the originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly condense, but he didn't seem to hear it, walked straight to the table, and saluted Li Chengxuan first: "Xiao Yi, the grass people, is Yue'er's brother. Yue'er was fortunate to be upheld by the prince during her stay in Zhenhai, and the grass people thanked her here. ”

Since Xiao Yi appeared, Li Chengxuan had been looking at him, and only then did he retract his gaze and said lightly: "No thanks." ”

Xiao Yi looked at Li Wangzhen again, and said, "Thank you Xiushu." ”

Li Wangzhen smiled: "Why be polite between you and me." ”

Xiling Yue stood up suddenly, and said to Li Chengxuan enthusiastically: "Lord Wang, what did you just say?" Did you invite me to come to Beijing with you? As long as you take care of food and housing, the folk girls are extremely happy. ”

Li Chengxuan sneered: "When did this king shorten your food and accommodation?" ”

This sentence was extremely ambiguous, Xiao Yi's face sank, and asked Xilingyue: "You want to enter Beijing?" ”

"yes!" Xilingyue pulled Li Chengxuan up with a smile, "Lord Wang, the hour is almost up, isn't it time for us to leave?" ”

Li Chengxuan glanced at her and did not answer.

Xiao Yi frowned and reprimanded: "Yue'er, don't mess around, follow me back to Chengdu Mansion." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xilingyue hadn't spoken, but Li Wangzhen had frowned slightly: "Won't you send me back to Ziqing?" ”

Xiao Yi was silent for a moment, and said apologetically: "I want to send Yue'er home first." ”

Hearing this, Li Wangzhen turned his head out of the window to hide his disappointment.

Xiling Yue didn't hear it, and pulled Li Chengxuan's sleeve vigorously: "The prince should go, if you don't leave, you should have lunch." ”

Li Chengxuan still didn't move, only asked: "Where are you going, do you want to discuss with your brother-in-law?" ”

"Not necessarily."

"Nature."

Xi Lingyue and Xiao Yi answered at the same time, and the answers were diametrically opposite.

Seeing this situation, Li Chengxuan finally got up slowly and threw a sentence at her: "Come to me after you have discussed." Then he walked down the stairs.

Li Wangzhen obviously wanted to fight again, but was rejected by Xiao Yi:

"I'm sorry Xiushu, Yue'er has been away for too long, I'm really worried."

Li Wangzhen could only smile gently, showing a bit of everyone's beautiful bearing, and said softly: "I understand, you can come to Ziqing again after doing good things, my father said that I want to hold a wedding next spring." ”

"Okay." Xiao Yi responded without thinking.

When Li Wangzhen heard his sure answer, his heart also settled down, revealing a bit of expectation: "Then I'll wait for you in Ziqing." With that, he left, leaving the space for his brother and sister.

Xiling Yue kept looking out the window, forcing herself to ignore their flirting and scolding, until Li Wangzhen left, and then turned around, relatively speechless to Xiao Yi.

I don't know how long it took for Xiling Yue to say in a low mood: "Mrs. Li, she ...... She's a nice person, she's really better than me, you ...... It's a good match. ”

"A good match?"

As soon as the word "match" came out, Xiao Yi slowly closed his eyes: "Are you blaming me?" ”

Xilingyue shook her head: "I came to Zhenhai this time, thanks to her secretly helping me, otherwise I wouldn't be alive now." On appearance, intelligence, family background, and bearing...... In everything, I can't compare to her! ”

Xilingyue sniffed, holding back tears and concluded: "Yes, I admit defeat." ”

Xiao Yi opened his eyes suddenly: "You are never a person who gives up easily. ”

"And what do you want me to do?" Xi Lingyue suddenly became annoyed, "You and her are married, and your father-in-law has also come out of prison, everything is ...... It's a foregone conclusion, am I going to continue to brazenly pester you? ”

Xiao Yi didn't want to argue with her, so he held her right arm: "Let's talk about this matter when we go home." ”

"I'm not going back!" Xi Lingyue shook off his hand and said stubbornly: "I want to go to Chang'an, I want to overturn the case for my father-in-law, and I want to make 'Jinxiuzhuang' glorious again!" ”

"You don't have to do this, I've got you covered." Xiao Yi frowned and persuaded, "Besides, Chang'an's people are complicated, you are a weak woman......"

"So what, now that I know King Fu, he will protect me." Xilingyue didn't realize the lethality of this sentence to Xiao Yi at all, and said hatefully, "You don't have to worry about me, I have food and shelter, and I am very happy." ”

"Yue'er!" Xiao Yi scolded her in a deep voice, "Do you know what you're talking about? ”

Xilingyue had never seen Xiao Yi lose his temper with herself, and this was the first time. In her impression, Brother Yi is always kind and pleasant, even if she didn't send a letter to her father-in-law in time, even if her father-in-law went to prison, he never said a word of weight to her.

And now, sure enough, everything has changed! Her tears could no longer be contained, and the grievances she had suffered in Zhenhai these days poured out instantly, and she lay on the table and cried bitterly.

A gentle palm pressed against her back and gently patted her for comfort.

"It's my incompetence and it's all my fault." He had no choice but to blame himself.

Their Xiao family has been operating the Shu brocade "Jinxiuzhuang" for generations, and it is the largest imperial merchant in the Sichuan and Shu regions, and it has been in business for almost 100 years since the Xuanzong Dynasty. And the Xiao family is in Chengdu Mansion, and they are in the same place as the Jiannan Xichuan Jiedu envoy, so they have to "pay tribute" from time to time to win over the princes. In this matter, his father Xiao Zhiwu has always been very cautious and never participated in local military politics, lest he commit a big taboo. But I still didn't expect that Liu Bi, the envoy of Xichuan Jiannan Jiedu, who had only been in office for one year, openly rebelled last year and attacked Dongchuan to stand on his own. Today, the saint made a quick decision to march together to defeat the rebels with a three-way march, and easily captured Liu Pi alive.

At that time, he had been summoned to Ziqing to treat Li Wangzhen, and he still got the news through Li Wangzhen's mouth, so he immediately repaired the book to his father Xiao Zhiwu, but he was afraid that the letter would be seen by someone with a heart, so he hid this letter in the love letter he wrote to Xilingyue, hoping that Xilingyue could inform his father as soon as possible to mediate the matter.

However, Xiling Yue didn't realize how serious the matter was at all, and after receiving his letter, she only cared about rejoicing, and did not convey the letter as soon as possible. It's just a day late, his father Xiao Zhiwu was arrested and imprisoned, Xiao's house was raided, and Jinxiuzhuang was shut down one after another, on the grounds that he was funding Liu Pi to plot rebellion.

He Xiao Yi is just a powerless doctor, when disaster strikes, his father is arrested and imprisoned, and others are still far away in Ziqing, there is no way. He thought that he had two life-saving graces for Li Wangzhen, so he had to go for help, but Li Wangzhen refused. He hurriedly resigned, saying that he wanted to go home to rescue his father, but at this moment, Li Wangzhen's father, Li Shidao, the envoy of the Pinglu Ziqing Festival, personally came forward to stop him, saying that he could save his father Xiao Zhiwu from prison, but the premise was that he must marry Li Wangzhen.

Li Shidao even promised that after he and Li Wangzhen got married, he would personally come forward as the inspector of the school and the envoy of the Pinglu Ziqing Festival to help the Xiao family return to the position of the imperial merchants.
