In the shipbuilding workshop in the Americas, Qi Niang did not direct the craftsmen to transform the interior of the workshop on the spot, but was staying in her own residence in the workshop, holding a pen in her hand and drawing a design drawing seriously, she stayed in the shipbuilding workshop every day, and also had a deeper understanding of shipbuilding, and the result inspired her, making her think of a new ship type, so she put down the work at hand and painted this ship type, after all, shipbuilding and painting are the same, inspiration is fleeting.

But at this moment, I suddenly saw the door of the room being opened, and then two people walked in one by one, Qi Niang's whole body and mind at this time were on the design, and she didn't notice that someone came in.

"Shh~, let's not disturb her, otherwise Qi Niang will scold!" I saw that the woman in front of her saw Qi Niang's appearance, and hurriedly turned her head and whispered to the man behind her, and at the same time made a silent action, the two of them were the couple of Qi'er and Shangguan Yi, and they came to Qi Niang today to discuss with her about the fishing boat on credit.

Hate Er is Qi Niang's best friend, naturally knows her temper best, such as the current situation, Qi Niang is devoted to the design, no one can disturb her at this time, otherwise it will disrupt her train of thought, which will make Qi Niang fall into a rage, even Li Xiu will be scolded, so Hate Er does not dare to disturb her at this time.

Shangguan Yi was originally begging for hatred today, so naturally he didn't dare to speak out when he heard the words of hatred, so the two of them found a place in the room to sit down, and then waited for Qi Niang to finish painting.

However, designing a ship is not an easy task, and sometimes it is common to work for several hours in a row, so H'er was prepared for this, took two books from the bookshelf next to him, and then sat there with Shangguan Yi while watching and waiting.

"Bah~" Before the two of them waited too long, they suddenly saw someone suddenly push open the door, and then strode in, which made Ha'er frown, I can't understand who is so bold as to break in and disturb? But she is also a little strange, after all, there are fat sisters and others guarding outside, except for her, I'm afraid that the fat sister will not let people in easily.

However, when Hate Er saw the people who came in, she was startled, and even had an urge to escape, because the person who came in turned out to be Li Xiu with a gloomy face, thinking that she had helped Qi Niang escape from Chang'an, she was also afraid of being blamed by Li Xiu, although she had known that there would be such a day, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.

Li Xiu suddenly pushed the door in, and Qi Niang, who was designing the boat, was also startled, and then was about to get angry, but when she saw that the person who came in was Li Xiu, she was the same as Hya'er's reaction, and she was so frightened that she even wanted to run away, but when she saw Li Xiu's gloomy face, she didn't dare to run anyway.

However, Qi Niang's reaction was much faster than that of hate, and she quickly reacted from the shock, not only did she not run at the moment, but she also ran up very enthusiastically and hugged Li Xiu's arm and said coquettishly: "Big brother, why are you here, I want to kill you these days!" ”

"Hmph, I see that you don't want to kill me, but want me to die, so that no one cares about you anymore!" Li Xiu didn't eat Qi Niang's set at all, but snorted coldly and said angrily, Qi Niang's running away from home can make him angry, and he was worried and angry along the way, and at this time, he saw that Qi Niang naturally didn't have a good face.

"Big brother~, I just stayed at home and was depressed, and I was reluctant to hate my sister, so I followed her out to relax, and I was good along the way, and I never caused trouble for you." When she said this, Qi Niang suddenly found that Ha'er and Shangguan Yi were also here, and hurriedly pointed at them and said, "I don't believe you ask Sister Ha'er and Shangguan's brother-in-law, they can prove what I said!" ”

Seeing that Ha'er led the disaster to herself, Ha'er couldn't help but glance at her, but then she took the initiative to step forward and salute Li Xiu and said, "Sir, I was wrong, I didn't send her home when Qi Niang ran out, please punish Mr!" ”

"Forget it, although you are also at fault in this matter, at most you are just an accomplice, the main culprit is still Qi Niang, and when I go back, I have to confine her for half a year!" Li Xiu didn't blame Qiniang, after all, it was all her own idea for Qi Niang to run away from home, and then Ha Er just couldn't bear to refuse Qi Niang, so she took her away, and thanks to her taking care of Qi Niang on the way, otherwise with Qi Niang's temperament, I don't know how many things will happen along the way?

"Half a year of confinement? Big brother, you better kill me! Qi Niang couldn't help but shout in despair when she heard Li Xiu's words, although she knew that she would definitely be punished when she went back this time, but she didn't expect the eldest brother to be so ruthless, and it would take half a year for her at once.

"What's your name, it's already light to lock you up for half a year, if it weren't for your sister-in-law and a few of them interceding for you, I would have locked you up until you got married!" At this time, Li Xiu glared at Qi Niang again and said.

"I'm not going to get married!" Qi Niang couldn't help but be angry when she heard this, and after speaking, she twisted her head to the side angrily, as if she didn't plan to ignore Li Xiu, the ruthless brother.

Shangguan Yi had been watching Li Xiu teach Qi Niang a lesson, and only then did he have the opportunity to come forward to salute Li Xiu, and also confessed his mistake to Li Xiu like Ha Er, although Qi Niang came with them, but this matter was mainly Qi Niang and Ha Er, and he couldn't say anything at all, so Li Xiu had no reason to blame him.

"By the way, You Shao, aren't you in Haiyan County, why did you have time to come to Suzhou?" Li Xiu chatted with Shangguan Yi for a few words, and then asked a little strangely, after all, Shangguan Yi had just arrived in Haiyan County to take office, and there must be a lot of affairs to be busy, so in his opinion, Shangguan Yi should not appear here, right?

"Sir, my husband and I came to ask Qi Niang for help today, but I didn't expect you to come, sir!" Without waiting for Shangguan Yi to speak, Ha Er rushed to explain the purpose of their visit, and Shangguan Yi next to him also gave a brief introduction to the situation in Haiyan County, which also made Li Xiu finally understand the purpose of their coming here.

"Haha~, since you two are here to talk about business, then tell me, some fishing boats are not a problem at all, of course, I am also very interested in your canned seafood!" As soon as the words of Hate Er and Shangguan Yi fell, Zhang Shiyi walked in from outside the door and laughed, Li Xiu left too quickly just now, so he fell behind, and it was not until he heard Hate Er's conversation just now that he walked in, after all, he likes this kind of money-making business the most.

Ha'er also knew that Qi Niang was only responsible for designing ships, and business affairs had always been taken care of by Zhang Shiyi on her behalf, so she also nodded, and then pulled Shangguan Yi and Zhang Shiyi out to talk, leaving Li Xiu and Qi Niang brothers and sisters in the room, so that their brothers and sisters could have time to spend alone.

Seeing that everyone else had left, the anger at this time was almost gone, after all, Qi Niang was his only sister, and he was angry just now, but at this time, he saw that Qi Niang seemed to be thinner, and it was darker than before, which made him feel a little distressed, after all, the weather in the south was originally hotter than in the north, and Qi Niang followed the hater all the way, and he was not idle after coming to Suzhou, so he was naturally thinner than the former black.

"Qi Niang, it's too nonsense for you to run away from home this time, you are not allowed to be so willful in the future, you know?" Li Xiu spoke again at this time, but his tone softened significantly, and he was no longer as full of anger as before.

"Got it." Qi Niang also felt that her eldest brother's attitude had softened a little, and she nodded honestly at the moment, and then she suddenly raised her head and said, "By the way, how did you come here, brother, isn't Yuechan's sister-in-law going to give birth too?" ”

When Qi Niang ran away from home, she had actually calculated that Yuechan was pregnant, and she thought that Li Xiu would not chase after her so easily, so when she saw Li Xiu just now, she seemed so shocked.

Li Xiu couldn't help but be a little angry when he heard this, but then he calmed down again, and then said slowly: "This time for your business, Yuechan and the others are all here with me, anyway, it's a little boring to stay in Chang'an, so I'll take them out for a spin, maybe they will live in the south for a while!" ”

"Really? That's great! Jin'er and Ping'anlang, are they also here? Qi Niang couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when she heard Li Xiu's answer, and even almost jumped up with joy, if Li Xiu decided to live in the south for a while, then she could renovate the shipbuilding workshop at will according to her own ideas, and even guide the craftsmen to build the most ideal sea ship in her heart.

"It's all here, this time our family is almost a family move, it is estimated that I will go back next year or the year after, it just so happens that His Majesty wants me to enter the court again, and I will also take this opportunity to avoid the limelight." Li Xiu had nothing to hide from his sister, and he told the truth at the moment.

"Giggle~, I think this is the real reason why you left Chang'an, eldest brother, after all, your temperament is definitely not willing to bury your head in the case every day like those people in the room!" Qi Niang is worthy of being Li Xiu's own sister, and she immediately guessed Li Xiu's true thoughts, and Li Xiu did not deny it.

After Qi Niang knew that Princess Pingyang and they were also here, she immediately pulled him to meet a few sisters-in-law, she had already thought about it, as long as a few sisters-in-law were there, she would definitely let the eldest brother relax her punishment, this method was not the first time she had used, every time she had trouble before, several sisters-in-law interceded for herself.

At the same time, in a courtyard near the Quanzhou wharf, the young man who had just arrived here some time ago was sitting there drinking tea, and a middle-aged steward stood there and said to the other party very respectfully: "Childe, I don't know what your requirements are for this time?" ”

"I brought some gold and silver from there, as well as some local specialties, which I need you to help me sell, and I also need a batch of excellent ships, after all, the shipbuilding capacity over there is not as good as that of Datang, and our ships are about to be scrapped after such a long voyage!" I saw the young man speak, and when he said this, a look of longing suddenly appeared on his face, and his eyes also looked to the far north.
