Autumn is crisp, under the bright sunshine, Jin'er, Ping'anlang, Mian Niang, Wu Mingkong and Li Lizhi are playing games, Princess Pingyang and Yi Niang are sitting in the small pavilion next to them, chatting while embroidering, looking at the children from time to time, and Li Xiu who is lying on the chair basking in the sun, and the delicate face can't help but show a little smile.

Jin Er and Ping An Lang are very lively and active, and their bodies are also very healthy, although the three girls of Mian Niang, Mingkong and Lizhi are a little older than their two brothers, they are also considered to be the same age, so the five little ones quickly became acquainted, and they were on a rampage at home every day, and they were dirty all day long, and they had to be washed twice to wash them in the bath at night.

Su Niang's chili sauce business is also doing well, just opened the sales channel at the beginning, as soon as the store in the West Market opened, the chili sauce on the market was sold out, in addition to the merchants, many nobles will also send people to buy some to eat at home, which is also thanks to the promotion of Li Shimin and Pei Lin and others, attracting many people to imitate, so that the nobles also set off a trend of eating chili peppers.

Su Niang's business is profitable, and her husband Wang Dalang's health is also recovering well, although he can't do heavy work, he can help her take care of business matters, and the family is also happy, Li Xiu has visited them a few times before, and when he saw that the haze on Su Niang's face finally dissipated, he was relieved.

The smallpox in Qingtian County has finally passed completely, but the matter of vaccinating cowpox is still in progress, Li Shimin plans to inoculate most of the people under the rule of the Tang Dynasty with cowpox, so that there is no need to worry about smallpox outbreak in the future, but because the production of cowpox powder is limited, if you want to complete this goal, I am afraid it will take a long time.

It was also in these months that there was a thing that made Li Shimin and Li Xiu very happy, that is, Xue Yantuo was finally moved by the Tang Dynasty, and took advantage of the opportunity of Jieli's defeat to attack Jieli, and as a result, he captured Jieli's four places one after another, and almost took away nearly half of the grassland under Jieli's rule, which made Jieli also very angry and began to organize troops to counterattack, and now the two sides are fighting in full swing on the grassland, which is also the situation that Datang wants to see most.

Whether it is at home or in the court, Li Xiu has felt very comfortable in the past few months, so his life is also very leisurely, usually teasing children, sleeping lazy, etc., even he feels that his life is simply too decadent.

"Master, there is no one outside!" At this moment, I saw Yuechan suddenly walking quickly, and then whispered in Li Xiu's ear.

"Who?" Li Xiu asked lazily, he didn't even open his eyes, it was so comfortable to bask in the sun in this weather, he felt as if his whole body was about to melt, and his limbs were soft, as if he didn't need a trace of strength.

"Master Qiqi, the person who came is a little maid, saying that she is asking to see her for the lady of her family, but she refuses to say which lady it is?" When Yuechan said this, she also peeked at Princess Pingyang and Yi Niang not far away. A little maid came to ask to see her master, and said that she came for her family's lady, which made Yuechan feel sour in her heart, thinking that Li Xiu had provoked some immodest woman outside?

"What? A little maid of unknown origin came to see me? Li Xiu finally opened his eyes when he heard this, and looked at Yuechan with an incredible expression, this is a little indescribable, but he has always been clean and self-conscious, let alone the women outside, and he has never even touched the beautiful Yuechan in front of him.

"Sir, do you want to see it?" Yuechan glanced at Li Xiu again at this time and said, she actually knew that Li Xiu was not a merciful person, but women were jealous and didn't have any reason at all, so she was full of complaints now, obviously she guarded him every day, but she was still preempted by other women.

"No, a little girl who doesn't even want to say where she came from, why should I go to see her, where did she come from!" Li Xiu's heart trembled when he was seen by Yuechan's resentful gaze, and then he refused, joking, if he really went to see this little girl of unknown origin, I am afraid that even if there is nothing, he will not be able to explain it clearly.

Hearing Li Xiu's refusal, Yuechan was obviously relieved, but then she spoke again: "Master, the origin of that little maid is unknown, I originally wanted to drive her away, but she said a place name, saying that the master would definitely see her after hearing it!" ”

"Oh? What place names? Li Xiu couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard this.

"Baqiao." Yuechan replied softly.

Hearing the name of Baqiao, Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, although Baqiao was not very far from his home, but the last time he went to Baqiao, it was the last time he saw off Xuanzang, but Xuanzang has been gone for a few months, according to the news he received, Xuanzang is estimated to be almost at the Yumen Pass.

Thinking of Xuanzang, Li Xiu suddenly thought of the mysterious carriage that made Xuanzang turn back three times when he saw him off that day, and the woman in the carriage who had not shown up, could it be that the maid who came today was related to the woman of that day?

When Li Xiu thought of the above, the whole person stood up all of a sudden, and ordered Yuechan to take herself to see the maid, and Yuechan saw the serious expression on Li Xiu's face, and she didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and immediately led Li Xiu to the side hall in the front yard.

Li Xiu entered the side hall, and immediately saw a little girl standing in the hall, who was a little restrained, only to see that the other party was not very old, and it was estimated that he was only thirteen or fourteen, with temples combed on his head, and his round face and big eyes were quite delicate, but in a pair of eyes, he looked left and right, and his hands and feet seemed to have no place to put them, even if there was a chair next to her, she didn't dare to sit down. And when Li Xiu came in, she was even more startled, and then she lowered her head to look at her toes, not daring to look at Li Xiu at all.

"What's your name?" Li Xiu waved his hand to let the other people in the hall go down, but Yuechan insisted on refusing to leave, probably because he was worried about Li Xiu's safety, and Li Xiu did not insist on this, anyway, he would not hide anything from Yuechan.

"Slave...... The slave and maid are called Fuqin and worship ...... Meet the colt! Hearing Li Xiu's clan, I saw that the little girl's body trembled, and then stammered and replied.

"No need to be polite, what is the matter with you coming to see me?" Li Xiu sat down at this time and asked straight to the point, he had never seen this maid at all, but it also made him more sure that the other party was likely to be related to the woman in the mysterious carriage.

"Enlightenment...... The slave is here for my little lady today, and I want to ask the horse about a person's situation! Li Xiu's expression was a little serious, which also made the little girl a little nervous, but in the end she still mustered up the courage to say.

"Oh? Who do you want to inquire? Li Xiu asked again, but his voice became a little softer.

"Master Xuanzang! He left Chang'an before, I don't know what the situation is now? Perhaps he felt the change in Li Xiu's tone, which also made the little girl Fuqin a little bolder, and her speech became smoother.

"Sure enough!" Li Xiu couldn't help but say secretly when he heard this, and now it is certain that the little lady behind this fuqin is the woman in the carriage that day.

"Xuanzang is my friend, I do know something about the situation after he left Chang'an, but what is the relationship between your lady and Xuanzang, why do you want to inquire about his situation?" Li Xiu didn't tell Fuqin Xuanzang directly, but smiled and asked, he was really curious about how this woman met Xuanzang and how did she have a forbidden relationship?

Hearing Li Xiu inquire about the relationship between his wife and Xuanzang, Fuqin was a little flustered at first, but then calmed down, and saluted again: "The name of the horse is known in the world, and my lady has already heard of it, and he also praises the horse as a rare gentleman in the world, and the gentleman has the beauty of an adult. ”

"Hahahaha~, a lot of sharp words, but when you say it, you lose some momentum, so I can conclude that your lady taught you to say this, right?" Li Xiu couldn't help but laugh when he heard Fuqin's words, Fuqin was just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, and she didn't have much knowledge, so the above words didn't seem like she could say.

"The horse is wise, and I hope the horse will not be like us little women!" Although it was broken by Li Xiu, Fuqin spoke again without panic, because this sentence was also taught to her by her mother-in-law, in fact, before she came, her mother-in-law had already taught her what to say.

"What a smart woman, no wonder Xuanzang almost gave up going west, it's a pity! What a pity! Li Xiu naturally saw that Fuqin's words must have been taught by her mother, and he couldn't help but be surprised by this woman's cleverness, but then he thought that this woman actually liked Xuanzang, a monk, which made the two destined to be inseparable, which also made him feel sorry for the two.

"Okay, about your lady's matter, I won't ask, after Xuanzang left Chang'an, all the way through Qizhou, Yuanzhou to the west, although there are some difficulties on the way, but generally smooth, I recently received news about him, it was a month ago, when he had arrived in Liangzhou, calculate the time, it is estimated that he is now about to arrive at Yumen Pass, but he does not have a document to clear the customs, I am afraid it is not easy to get out of the customs!" When Li Xiu said the end, he couldn't help but sigh and said.

"Thank you, colt!" Hearing Xuanzang's news, Fuqin couldn't help but show an excited look, and immediately bowed to Li Xiushen, but when she said this, her little face suddenly showed a little hesitation, and after a while, she spoke again, "Don't be a cola, you are a friend of Master Xuanzang, I don't know if Master Xuanzang mentioned my lady to you when he left?" ”
