On the way home, Li Xiu told Princess Pingyang and Ma Ye about how he was held hostage by the bearded guest, but when Ma Ye heard that Li Xiu was inexplicably driven off the boat by the bearded guest, he immediately patted his thigh and said: "The news of the bearded guest is really well-informed, yesterday the princess and I found out that you may be held hostage by the bearded guest, so we guessed that he might take the waterway, so we blocked all the rivers near Chang'an, and it is estimated that he also found that he could not take you away, so he deliberately let you go!" ”

"Not necessarily, the bearded guest is unpredictable, and since he can be the king overseas, he must have a lot of helpers, although I ordered the river to be blocked, but the bearded guest's ability, it is not impossible to take a person out of the Central Plains, so I think the bearded guest may have temporarily changed his mind.

"Uncle Ma and the princess's speculation is possible, but what the specific reason is, I'm afraid only Uncle He knows, but it is estimated that he will never say it." Li Xiu also said helplessly at this time, he didn't know why the bearded guest let him go, which made him feel very passive, and he could only try to stay away from the bearded guest in the future, because he didn't know when the bearded guest would arrest him on a whim.

The distance of dozens of miles is not too far, when Li Xiu and the others returned home, it was not yet noon, Li Xiu originally planned to move today, and planned to hold a housewarming banquet at noon, but now it is too late, so it can only be postponed until tomorrow.

"Master, are you alright?" As soon as Li Xiu entered the house, he immediately saw Yuechan and Liu Er stepping forward and asking with concern.

"Hehe, sir, what can I do, it's just that I had a few more drinks on the boat, so I delayed the time to come back." Li Xiu smiled and said, he was afraid that the two maids would worry, so he didn't plan to tell them the truth.

"But...... But don't you drink, sir? "Liu'er is okay, but Yuechan is not so easy to fool, she immediately exposed Li Xiu's lies, but she knows that Li Xiu doesn't drink a drop of alcohol, even if she eats with Ma Ye, she never drinks, but after finishing speaking, Yuechan felt very uneasy, worried that Li Xiu would be angry, and rubbed the corners of her clothes nervously for a while.

"This ...... Hehe, the situation the day before yesterday was special, the uncle was going back overseas, and I couldn't drink it, master, but I got drunk after just a few drinks. Li Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile again, lying does not change his face, this is the most basic quality in the business field.

Seeing that Li Xiu didn't look like he was telling a lie, the naïve Yuechan finally dispelled her suspicions, and hurriedly prepared lunch for Li Xiu at the moment. ”

"Haha, my brother went to send off that curly bearded uncle yesterday, and I forgot to say hello to Qi Niang in advance at that time, I will definitely not be so careless in the future!" Li Xiu hugged Qi Niang and said happily, and then saw the elegant Princess Pingyang, which also made Li Xiu feel extremely satisfied, this is the life he wants, as for the development of the ocean, it is still left to people like bearded guests.

finally coaxed Qi Niang, Li Xiu invited Princess Pingyang to stay and eat together, this is not that she regretted eating at Li Xiu's house once, not to mention that Li Xiu was almost tied up overseas, so Princess Pingyang also wanted to accompany him for a while, so she nodded and agreed.

Today, Yuechan is still preparing hot pot, in fact, when Li Xiu was preparing to hold a housewarming banquet today, the hot pot was the main dish at the banquet, but unfortunately it couldn't be done, but some materials were prepared in the kitchen, so the hot pot was ready quickly.

Princess Pingyang is still eating hot pot for the first time, but she was quickly conquered by the taste of hot pot, Qi Niang is the same, from the beginning of the small mouth has not stopped, in fact, women seem to like to eat hot pot, such as Yuechan, Liu Er and helmets and other maids, also moved a stool to sit outside, around a stove to eat non-stop, chirping and talking more than the birds in the trees are happy.

After lunch, Li Xiu pushed Princess Pingyang to the river for a walk, at first, neither of them spoke, and after a while, Princess Pingyang took the initiative to speak: "Li Xiu, it is too dangerous to deal with people like the bearded guest, I think the plan to offer high-yield crops to the imperial court is forgotten, I will think of other ways." ”

Since she knew that Li Xiu was kidnapped by the bearded guest, Princess Pingyang was also very self-blaming while worried, because she thought that Li Xiu was taking the risk of dealing with someone like the bearded guest in order to help her dissolve her marriage with Chai Shao, and if Li Xiu was really taken hostage overseas, I am afraid she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

"Xiuning, don't worry, Uncle is a lover, let me go this time, he shouldn't tie me up next time, and he has clearly told me that he will go to the Americas no matter what he goes back to help us get those high-yield crops back, so we just need to wait patiently." Li Xiu only had time to tell Princess Pingyang the good news at this time, after all, there was Ma Ye before, and it was really inconvenient to discuss this.

"The bearded man agreed to go to the Americas so easily? Could it be that he also saw the role of high-yielding crops, so he wanted to save the people with this? Princess Pingyang was stunned for a moment when she heard Li Xiu's words, and then opened her mouth to guess.

"Hehe, the uncle may have the mind to save the people, and he also has the desire to seek fame, but I think it's more likely that he is too boring." Li Xiu said with a smile.

The bearded guest is a very complicated person, when he was young, he wanted to make a contribution, but when he met a person like Li Shimin, he had to go overseas, and even became the king overseas, but Li Xiu could clearly feel that the bearded guest was not very satisfied with his current life, and was even a little confused, and he didn't know what to do with his next life? Fortunately, he met Li Xiu at this time, and the appearance of America gave him a new purpose in life, which also made him make a decision in a short time.

"Bored? What is the reason for this? When Princess Pingyang heard Li Xiu's words, she couldn't help but look at him with wide eyes, her surprised look was actually really cute.

"Boredom is actually a very powerful reason, if you talk about the most boring people in the world, I'm afraid it will be the princess's father, that is, His Majesty the Emperor of our Tang Dynasty." Li Xiu smiled lightly again and spoke.

"My father? He has to be busy with so many government affairs every day, how can he be bored? Although Princess Pingyang was smart, she still couldn't understand the meaning of Li Xiu's words.

"Hehe, busy doesn't mean it's not boring, princess, you think, when Your Majesty first raised the army, there were anti-kings everywhere in the world, Your Majesty was facing one opponent after another, and Your Majesty must concentrate all your energy on dealing with these opponents, but when these opponents fell one after another, so that there was no opponent in front of Your Majesty, I am afraid that he would only feel 'draw his sword and look around at a loss' at this time."

When he said this, he saw Li Xiu suddenly smile and said, "What's more, Your Majesty has such an outstanding son as the crown prince and King Qin, and the King of Qin helps Your Majesty sweep away the enemy, and His Majesty ****** handles government affairs, which makes the entire Tang Dynasty thriving, but in this way, Your Majesty will probably only feel more bored." ”

Li Xiu is actually secretly changing the concept, the boredom in his mouth can actually be explained as the lack of life goals, many people have encountered this problem, such as some people set a lofty goal for themselves, and then worked hard for many years to finally achieve it, but when they reached this goal, instead of feeling happy, they felt very empty and confused, because they didn't know what they should do next?

"Draw your sword and look around?" Princess Pingyang carefully tasted the artistic conception in Li Xiu's poem, and finally sighed, and finally realized the meaning of boredom in Li Xiu's words, no wonder her father has slowly indulged in wine over the years, and the concubines in the palace have changed wave after wave, and it is estimated that it is likely to be affected by this mentality.

Early the next morning, Li Xiu began to prepare for the move, Yuechan and Liu Er kept going in and out of the room, and the things that needed to be taken away were wrapped into a burden, and Liu Boss and these tenants also came to help Li Xiu move things, during which Liu Boss also asked about Li Xiu's whereabouts yesterday, and Li Xiu also said that he was going to give it away, which delayed the time, after all, he didn't want Liu Boss and them to be involved in his own affairs.

Soon Princess Pingyang and Ma Ye also brought people here, and then the helmet and these maids also stepped forward to help, Li Xiu's house had not many things to move, and the new home also had new furniture, so it only took one trip to move the house, and then set up a table in the front yard of the new home, and the hot pots prepared in advance were brought up, and the side dishes were also sent up, in order to prepare for this housewarming banquet, Li Xiu even invited the chef of Princess Pingyang's family to come over to help.

Li Xiu and Qi Niang brothers and sisters are the masters, accompanying Princess Pingyang and Ma Ye in the living room, in fact, he didn't invite many people, except for the tenants in Zhuangzi, Li Xiu didn't know many people, only a few people who were familiar with Qin Qiong, Red Whisk Girl, etc.

Among them, it is inconvenient for the red-whisk girl Li Xiu to invite, after all, there is Li Jing here, and it is inconvenient for the red-whisk girl to come. As for Qin Qiong not being in the capital at all, Li Xiu only learned from Ma Ye when he came back yesterday that because Tuyuhun was about to send troops, Li Shimin had quietly led people out of the capital with Li Yuan's consent, which also made Li Xiu finally relieved, and he didn't have to worry about Li Shimin coming out halfway to sweep his own fun.

At the beginning of the banquet, Li Xiu and Ma Ye talked non-stop, Princess Pingyang took care of Qi Niang to eat, while whispering something to her, the two let out a crisp laugh from time to time, although this banquet was not staggered, but it seemed extremely warm, as if a family was sitting together.

But in this warmth, I suddenly saw Princess Pingyang's maid helmet running in small steps, leaning over her ear and whispering a few words, Princess Pingyang looked at Li Xiu who was talking to Ma Ye after listening, and then frowned and said to herself: "Why is he here?" (To be continued.) )
