Looking at the letters from Li Chengdao and others, Princess Pingyang was crying in a mess, Li Xiu could only sit on the side and patiently persuade her, and it took a long time for Princess Pingyang to stop her tears, and then Li Xiu immediately helped her put away the letters, so as not to make her sad again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, at dinner, the four sisters and Qi Niang did not come, saying that they were uncomfortable, which made Li Xiu a little helpless, and it was understandable that the four sisters did not come, after all, after they received the letter from their mother and brother, they would definitely cry like Princess Pingyang, but why didn't Qi Niang come?

With the above question, Li Xiu went to Qi Niang after dinner, but as soon as he arrived at Qi Niang's yard, he saw her little best friend H'er standing guard in the yard, and when he saw him come in, he immediately trotted into the room, but he only heard a chaotic sound of "crackling" in the room, and he didn't know what the two of them were doing.

At that moment, Li Xiu walked into the room, and found Qi Niang lying on the bed, Hate Er sitting on the edge of the bed, the two looked at him with a smirk, but under the quilt behind them, there was a bulging bag, which also revealed a corner of letter paper, and Qi Niang's eyes were also red, looking like she had just cried, you can guess without asking, it must be because of Li Chengdao's letter.

"Qi Niang, why don't you go to dinner, is there anything wrong with your body?" Li Xiu deliberately pretended not to know and asked.

"Well, it's a little uncomfortable, just get some sleep, big brother don't worry!" Qi Niang smiled reluctantly again, the tears on her little face had not been wiped away, and she didn't blink at all when she told lies.

"Okay then, Qi Niang, you can rest well, don't bother her, hate her, go out with me!" Li Xiu watched Qi Niang grow up, and this little girl is twelve years old, barely into a rebellious period, and her temperament is very stubborn, as long as she doesn't want to say it, no one wants to ask, but she can get some news from Ha'er.

Hate Er didn't expect Li Xiu to pull himself out, and by the time he reacted, it was too late, and Qi Niang wanted to stop it too late, so she could only desperately glance at Hate Er, hoping that her best friend could manage her mouth.

Li Xiu pulled Ha'er out of the yard, and then suddenly stopped, looked at Ha'er with a smile, speaking of which, Ha'er is already fourteen years old this year, compared to when Li Xiu first saw her, she was black and thin, and now Ha'er has opened up all of a sudden, and the whole person is much whiter, although her appearance is not very beautiful, but she is also quite delicate, and she already looks like a big girl.

"Hate'er, it's your birthday in a few months, and you'll be fifteen by then, right?" Li Xiu said with a smile at this time, the expression on his face was as kind as possible, he was a teacher who hated Er, but he was also the brother of Hate'er, in Li Xiu's heart, Hate Er and Qi Niang were his sisters.

"Hmm!" When she heard Li Xiu's words, she nodded nervously, because Li Xiu's appearance made her feel a little uneasy, and she seemed to have a feeling of impending disaster.

"It's really fast, I didn't expect you to be a big girl in a blink of an eye, Uncle Ma mentioned it to me a few years ago, saying that he wanted to find a husband for you after the New Year, and when you turned fifteen years old, let you get married, but I didn't expect Uncle Ma to go to the coal mine in the north of the city before smallpox, and now he can't come back, but it doesn't matter, anyway, there is me, I just heard that this year's new science and technology Jinshi has a few young and handsome people, why don't you choose a husband from among them?" Li Xiu said with a smile on his face.

"Sir, I really don't want to get married now, let's talk about Qi Niang, just ask, I must know everything!" Hate Er is also a clever girl, and immediately understood what Li Xiu meant, and then sold the very unrighteous Qi Niang, after all, compared to the privacy of her best friend, the second half of her life is more important.

"Haha~, the children can be taught! Worthy of the students I taught! When Li Xiu saw Ha'er's performance, he praised her shamelessly, and then asked very seriously, "Hae'er, tell me, did Qi Niang cry before?" ”

"Yes, Qi Niang received a letter from Chengdao to her before, but when she came back, she cried while reading it, and finally said that she wanted to write a reply to Chengdao, I originally wanted to read it, but she didn't let me read it, and asked me to give her a lookout, so I don't know what she wrote." Ha'er replied honestly.

"In addition to writing letters, did Qi Niang say anything?" Li Xiu's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, and he asked again after a while.

"This ......" Qi'er also showed a reminiscing expression when she heard Li Xiu's inquiry, and after a while, she seemed to think of something and replied, "When Qi Niang read Chengdao's letter before, she did say some things to herself, such as what is going to build a ship, the fastest ship to design, and a lot of plans for shipbuilding workshops, etc. ”

"Shipbuilding workshop? What shipbuilding workshop? Li Xiu couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard Ha'er's last words, he had never heard Qi Niang mention the shipbuilding workshop to him.

"It's a shipbuilding workshop, Qi Niang learns shipbuilding, wants to build the fastest ship in the world, so it's convenient to go to the Americas to see Chengdao, so naturally you need a shipbuilding workshop, a few months ago Qi Niang finally had her own shipbuilding workshop, although she said that the conditions are average, but it can barely be used." Ha'er blinked at this time, and at the same time looked at Li Xiu in surprise, she thought that Li Xiu had already known about this?

"I know all of this, and I'm asking who paid her to build a shipbuilding workshop?" Li Xiu asked again angrily when he heard this, last time Qi Niang had mentioned to him that he wanted a shipbuilding workshop, but he didn't agree, and told Princess Pingyang not to give it to her for the time being, Li Xiu did this because he was worried that Qi Niang would run to the beach if he had a workshop, and he was not at ease as an elder brother.

"It wasn't bought by Qi Niang, it was given to Qi Niang by Mrs. Pei." Hate Er replied again, as Qi Niang's little best friend, she still knew a lot of inside information, but she didn't know that Li Xiu didn't know anything about this matter, after all, a shipbuilding workshop is also a big industry.

"What? Was it given to Qi Niang by Yi Niang? Li Xiu was taken aback when he heard this, the cost of a shipbuilding workshop is not a small amount, although Yi Niang has made some money, but it is far less profound than Princess Pingyang, so Li Xiu never thought that Yi Niang would have the money to help Qi Niang build a shipbuilding workshop.

"Yes, Qi Niang begged the princess before, but the princess said that you don't let the princess help Qi Niang, but Qi Niang went to beg Mrs. Pei in a fit of anger, but Mrs. Pei immediately agreed, and gave a shipbuilding workshop to Qi Niang in less than a month, I heard that it was in Guangzhou, there are hundreds of craftsmen in the workshop, although the scale is not very large, but it can also meet Qi Niang's requirements." Ha'er replied again.

"How is this possible, how can Yi Niang have so much money, and how can she build a workshop for Qi Niang so far away in Guangzhou?" When Li Xiu heard this, he once again said to himself with some disbelief, "No, I have to ask her!" ”

Speaking of this, Li Xiu immediately turned around and left, which also made Ha'er finally breathe a sigh of relief, and then turned around and ran into Qi Niang's room, just now she didn't resist the pressure and leaked some things about Qi Niang, she had to tell Qi Niang in advance, even if she blamed herself, she had to be a little prepared, so as not to be caught off guard by Li Xiu in the future.

Li Xiu walked towards the courtyard where Yi Niang lived, and he was also thinking about Qi Niang in his mind, Qi Niang had never forgotten Li Chengdao before, and he always felt that the two children had known each other for many years and were classmates, so this is also a normal thing, but Li Chengdao has been gone for so long, and ordinary children, no matter how deep their feelings, they will be somewhat alienated because of the distance.

But what Li Xiu didn't expect was that Qi Niang's longing for Li Chengdao did not weaken with time, but she still insisted on learning shipbuilding, preparing to find Li Chengdao in the future, which is no longer a simple relationship between children.

Don't look at Qi Niang is only twelve years old, but ancient girls were precocious, and some girls were even married at the age of twelve, which also made Li Xiu's heart vigilant all of a sudden, in case his sister really had some other feelings with Li Chengdao, what should he do as an elder brother?
