After thinking about it again, Qi Niang finally decided to hand over Li Chengdao's letter to Li Xiu, and after saying that, she threw down the letter and ran away, because she was afraid that she would not be able to control herself, so she peeked when Li Xiu opened the letter, in fact, she has been fighting with herself for the past few days, and she wanted to secretly open it many times to take a look, but in the end she still restrained her desire.

Li Xiu was also a little surprised when he picked up Li Chengdao's letter on the table, he didn't expect Li Chengdao to write a letter to himself before leaving, but it has been a few days, and Qi Niang actually gave the letter to herself, I really don't know what she thinks?

The fire paint on the envelope was intact, it seemed that Qi Niang had indeed not opened it, at that moment he tore open the envelope, took out a thin piece of letter paper from it, opened it and took a look, as a result, Li Xiu's face immediately became very complicated, after a while, he gently closed the letter, and then put it on the fire candle next to it and lit it until the letter was burned to ashes, then he let out a long breath, and then sat there silently.

In the next few days, everything was calm on the sea, and Li Xiu's fleet also entered the Yangtze River smoothly, and then docked at Suzhou Port.

Although this Persian mission lost two ships, there were still a lot of people on the only remaining boat, and they also brought a lot of gifts to Li Shimin, after all, they originally wanted to invite the Tang Dynasty to send troops, so they naturally prepared a lot of gifts, Alda originally wanted to move the gifts on the ship, but was stopped by Li Xiu, because they returned to Chang'an mainly by water, although the Persian ships could not be used, but they only needed to move things to the flat-bottomed boat prepared by Li Xiu.

It is precisely because of this that in the end, Alda only led the people of the Persian mission to get off the ship, and then followed Li Xiu to Suzhou City, at this time Li Xiu and Zhang Shiyi also found that there were many Persian Hu women in the Alda mission.

Originally, Li Xiu thought that these were the maids brought by Alda, but later he found that one of these Persian women was tall and wearing a gauze and was dressed extraordinarily, and the other bearded women were also surrounding her, and it seemed that she should be a noble woman, and even Alda was very respectful to this woman, and the carriage that Li Xiu prepared for them was also the first to board this mysterious woman.

Li Xiu was also very curious about the mysterious woman who appeared in the Persian mission, but Alda didn't explain, and he was embarrassed to ask.

At that moment, Li Xiu took Alda and his party to the outside of Suzhou City, when the majestic Suzhou city wall appeared in front of Alda's eyes, these Persians all showed shocked expressions, and when they entered Suzhou City, they saw that the streets were lined with shops, and the traffic was endless, Alda and his party were simply stunned, even the mysterious woman sitting in the carriage also opened the window to look at Suzhou City, a pair of big blue eyes full of curiosity and surprise.

After a while, Alda seemed to wake up from the shock, and then asked Zhang Shiyi in a low voice, Zhang Shiyi also answered, and then the expression on Alda's face was even more shocked and envious, which made Li Xiu ask Zhang Shiyi curiously: "What did Alda say to you?" ”

"It's nothing, he asked me how our Datang's Chang'an is better than Suzhou, and I told him that in a city like Suzhou, we have at least dozens of Datang, and there is no way to compare with Chang'an." Zhang Shiyi replied with a smile.

Hearing Zhang Shiyi's words, Li Xiu laughed, because he knew that Zhang Shiyi was obviously a little exaggerated, although Suzhou could not be compared with Chang'an, but it was also one of the famous commercial cities in Datang, maybe there are dozens of cities in Datang that are similar to Suzhou in terms of population, but they can rarely be compared with Suzhou in terms of economy, not to mention anything else, the people of Suzhou City are far beyond the average level of Datang in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, which is the embodiment of Suzhou's economy.

Zhang Shiyi has a lot of industries in Suzhou, and there are several houses alone, so he temporarily arranged Alda and his party to rest in a house near his home, and Li Xiu also agreed with Alda that they would leave for Chang'an in three days, so they could take advantage of these three days to take a turn in Suzhou and feel the customs of the Tang Dynasty.

And when Li Xiu took Qi Niang back home, Qi Niang was called by Princess Pingyang, and then reprimanded her fiercely, although Li Xiu hid from Yiniang and Yuechan, but at this time they all knew, after all, such a big thing could not be concealed at all, fortunately Qi Niang came back safely, so they followed Princess Pingyang to teach Qi Niang a few words, and then began to help her intercede with Princess Pingyang, after all, they are such a sister-in-law.

However, this time Li Xiu had already made up his mind that he must teach Qi Niang a lesson, so after coming back, he immediately issued a grounding order to Qi Niang, no matter what the reason, she must stay at home, even if it is a shipbuilding workshop, she can't go, which makes Qi Niang's little face fall all of a sudden, and she wants to ask for mercy pitifully, but Li Xiu doesn't give anyone face, not even Princess Pingyang, and finally this matter is settled.

Qi Niang was locked up and confined, and Li Xiu finally put his mind at ease, of course, in order to prevent Qi Niang from escaping again, Li Xiu also sent additional manpower, such as the female guards in the house were transferred by him to one-third, these people stared at Qi Niang for almost twelve hours, and even her eating and sleeping were watched, anyway, she was not allowed to have any chance to escape.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, but Li Xiu couldn't leave, because he ignored one thing, that is, Yuechan's pregnancy, and it was a coincidence, on the morning of the third day, Yuechan suddenly felt a stomachache, and she was about to give birth.

Fortunately, the delivery room has been prepared for a long time, and Princess Pingyang and Yiniang also have experience in childbirth, and even Qu Yi came to help, and finally came to help, and finally waited until the afternoon, Yuechan finally gave birth to a daughter for Li Xiu, which made Li Xiu also happy, after all, there are already two sons, but there is only one daughter, Le'an, and now they have finally made up two pairs of children.

After the production was cleaned up, Li Xiu was the first to rush in, although Yuechan's face was a little pale, and the sweat on her forehead was not wiped clean, but she also showed a smile when she saw Li Xiu, which made Li Xiu feel a little distressed, and immediately stepped forward to hold her hand and comforted her a few words, at this time her daughter was also hugged by the midwife, which made Li Xiu even more happy, and she was reluctant to let go when she took it.

Looking at Li Xiu's happy appearance, Yuechan also showed a relieved smile, although she had long known that Li Xiu liked her daughter, but in the eyes of others, her daughter was not as good as her son after all, so Yuechan was a little worried just now, but now she finally put her mind at ease.

hugged her daughter and was intimate for a long time, but this wrinkled little girl didn't give Li Xiu face to her father, and after a while, she cried, and the midwife said that she was hungry, but it was not suitable to breastfeed now, so she gave the little girl some water, but she also drank with relish, and finally fell asleep.

Yuechan was also tired at this time, and fell asleep after drinking some honey water, Li Xiu gently put her daughter beside her, and then asked the maid to take care of their mother and daughter, and then quietly retreated, but at this time, someone immediately came to report, saying that Zhang Shiyi was also here and was waiting in the front hall.

"Congratulations Brother Li, I don't know if it's a son or a daughter this time?" When Zhang Shiyi saw Li Xiu coming in, he immediately bowed his hand to Li Xiu and said hello.

"Haha, it's a daughter, but I like my daughter more than my son!" Li Xiu replied with a laugh at this time.

"Although my daughter is good, she is always someone else's family, and I want to have another son in my dreams now, but I can't help it!" Zhang Shiyi still sighed when he heard Li Xiu's words, he and Qu Yi have been married for many years, but there is only one daughter, Maya, and now they are almost a piece of his heart.

"Eleventh brother, don't worry too much, speaking of which, you and Qu Yi are not very old, and even Qu Yi is a few years younger than Pingyang, and there will be time to have a few more children in the future!" Li Xiu also hurriedly opened his mouth to comfort at this time, as far as he knew, not only did Zhang Shiyi want a son, but the bearded guest also urged Zhang Shiyi to have a few more children many times, but it was strange to say, since giving birth to Maya, Qu Yi's stomach has not moved, and the couple are also very anxious about this.

"That's what I said, but sometimes I can't figure it out, just once in the Americas, Qu Yi was pregnant with Maya, but now after returning to Datang, she has never conceived a child again, I also looked for a doctor in private, but both of us have no problem with our bodies, and we have taken a lot of fertility drugs before, but they have no effect, I am really angry!" When Zhang Shiyi said the end, he couldn't help but pat the table next to him and said in frustration.

"No one dares to guarantee that there is such a thing as having a child, let alone you, I and Pingyang have always wanted a daughter, but now they can't conceive either, so this kind of thing depends on the will of God." Li Xiu also comforted helplessly at this time, now he is also forced by Princess Pingyang to drink medicine every night, which is said to be a secret recipe in the palace, and she also shared the secret recipe with Qu Yi, and it is estimated that Zhang Shiyi also has the same treatment as him.

Speaking of children, Li Xiu and Zhang Shiyi are also full of bitter water, and they are also chatting very speculatively at the moment, but at the end of the conversation, Zhang Shiyi suddenly remembered the matter of those Persians, so he spoke again: "Brother Li, now that your third lady has given birth, she will definitely not be able to move in a short time, what should those Persians do?" In addition, I have received a message from the Persians in the past few days, Brother Li, you will definitely be interested! ”
