Although the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Shangyuan Festival, but according to the habits of the Tang Dynasty, there are lantern festivals on the fifteenth and sixteenth days, so in the eyes of ordinary people, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month is actually the Shangyuan Festival, and because the sixteenth is the last day of the Shangyuan Festival, the lantern festival on this night is even more lively than the fifteenth, everyone seizes the opportunity of this last night to play and frolic, after all, after today, they will have to wait for a whole year before waiting for the next opportunity to go out freely at night.

Although I had already enjoyed the lantern festival yesterday, but just after dinner, Qi Niang still left with great interest, and when she left, she also pulled the hateful children away, looking at their talking and laughing, I don't know how long I want to play?

"It seems that Hate'er's marriage has finally come to an end, and the husband will pay more attention to the young man named Shangguanyi for Hate'er, nothing else, the key is that the character is absolutely sloppy!" Princess Pingyang saw the back of Qi Niang and Ha Er leaving, and immediately smiled and told Li Xiu, who was eating next to her.

"Don't worry, Uncle Ma has told me many times, and there will be no mistakes!" Li Xiu also put down his chopsticks at this time and replied with a smile, he also agreed very much with this marriage, but it was okay to get engaged, if he wanted to really get married, he still felt that he had to wait until he was eighteen years old, and he needed to communicate with Ma Ye in the future.

"That's good, but Hate usually don't have too much contact with the other party, so as not to cause any gossip, although we are not afraid, but it is always a trouble." Princess Pingyang told again at this time.

"Giggle~, my sister is too worried, Hate Er didn't go out to see that Shangguan Yi today, but went with Qi Niang to accompany Qu Yi and their mother and daughter, planning to go shopping on the street together!" At this moment, Yi Niang, who had not spoken, suddenly interrupted Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang with a smile.

"What, Qi Niang and Hate Er went to accompany Qu Yi's mother and daughter, how could they be together?" Princess Pingyang also asked in surprise when she heard Yi Niang's words, in her mind, Qu Yi's mother and daughter were accompanied by Zhang Shiyi, why couldn't it be Qi Niang's turn and Hate Er to accompany her?

"I understand, it can't be that Zhang Shiyi went to the coastal area again and is not at home, right?" Li Xiu felt a flash of inspiration in his mind at this time, and immediately spoke.

"I went to the coastal area, is it related to the incident that my husband told me yesterday?" Princess Pingyang also reacted immediately when she heard this, and said with a surprised face.

"What did my husband and sister say, it wouldn't be that you also know about Qi Niang and the Zhang family?" Yi Niang was stunned for a moment when she heard Princess Pingyang's words, and then asked tentatively.

"Yes, I already told Xiuning last night, but you are really, such a big thing, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Without waiting for Princess Pingyang to answer, Li Xiu preemptively said that Yi Niang knew about this matter earlier than he knew.

"Husband, you can't blame me, although I knew that Qi Niang and Qu Yi were discussing business before, but I thought the two of them were just making a small fuss, but I didn't expect the two of them to make such a big deal!" Yi Niang also said with a look of grievance at this time.

It turned out that after Qi Niang learned shipbuilding from Yu Wenyi, she once asked Li Xiu for a shipbuilding workshop, so that she could build the ship she designed, but Li Xiu did not agree at that time, and Qi Niang came to beg Yi Niang, just because Yi Niang's tea business expanded everywhere, and someone once mortgaged a shipbuilding workshop to her, so she gave it to Qi Niang.

With a shipbuilding workshop, Qi Niang began to hand over the ships she designed to the craftsmen in the workshop, although she had not been to the workshop, but asked Yi Niang to help send a loyal steward to manage on her behalf, and at the same time supervise the craftsmen in the workshop to build ships, and then launch the ship, and then find out the problems according to the actual navigation of the ship, collect them and hand them over to Qi Niang, so that Qi Niang can accumulate enough experience and improve it.

Although Qi Niang is young, but extremely intelligent, and is a high disciple of Yu Wen Yi, now even Yu Wen Yi said that he can no longer teach Qi Niang, which shows Qi Niang's talent in shipbuilding, before she just lacked practical experience, now with the improvement of experience, the design of the ship is becoming more and more exquisite, not only fast, but also high load, the operation is simpler.

With the improvement of shipbuilding quality, the business of shipbuilding workshops is getting better and better, many maritime merchants are admiring and ordering ships, but shipbuilding is a big project, not a day or two can be completed, and the scale of this shipbuilding workshop is not much, it can not meet so many orders, so many maritime merchants are also looking for no way.

Originally, Qi Niang only cared about her shipbuilding technology, and she didn't care much about the business of the shipbuilding workshop, and she didn't care about how much money she could make, after all, she was not short of money, but it was a coincidence, once a maritime merchant didn't know how to find out that the shipbuilding workshop was related to Li Xiu, and it just so happened that this maritime merchant used to often do business with bearded customers, and Zhang Shiyi was very familiar with him, and he was also in a hurry to use the ship, so he asked Zhang Shiyi to get the sea ship in advance through his relationship.

At first, Zhang Shiyi was also a little strange, and he couldn't understand how Li Xiu could have a shipbuilding workshop under his name, but since people opened this mouth, he couldn't refuse, so he asked his wife Qu Yi to come to Yiniang to ask what was going on, after all, he knew that Li Xiu's family's industry had always been managed by Yiniang, so in the end, he knew that this thriving workshop was actually made by a little girl like Qi Niang.

The bearded guest moved his family to the Americas, and almost all of his previous smuggling business was thrown away, after all, even his subordinates were gone, and the previous business naturally couldn't be taken care of, and Zhang Shiyi didn't have the ability to support it alone, so he was usually idle and bored at home, and after knowing Qi Niang's ability, he suddenly had an idea in his head, that is, to do business in partnership with Qi Niang.

Qi Niang's ability to build a ship is very powerful, now everyone is rushing to ask for her ship, Zhang Shiyi has a way, after all, although the bearded guest is gone, but the previous relationship is still there, Zhang Shiyi's business at sea is also clear, rather than letting others use Qi Niang's ship to make a fortune, it is better to cooperate with Qi Niang to run a business.

In this case, Zhang Shiyi personally discussed with Qi Niang, and asked Qi Niang to give priority to building some ships for him and forming a fleet to do business, the reason why he did this, in addition to not wanting to waste this opportunity, actually wanted to try his own skills, after all, although the bearded customer valued him before, he never let him take care of the business alone, and now that his father is not there, he also wants to prove his ability.

Li Xiu didn't know about the above things at first, until he found out that Qi Niang no longer talked about building ships and going to the Americas every day, which was strange, so he asked people to investigate, and it turned out that before he knew it, Qi Niang had become Zhang Shiyi's partner, not only had a shipbuilding workshop that had expanded several times in size, but also had half of the part of a sea fleet, of course, this fleet was run by Zhang Shiyi.

"Qi Niang's talent for doing business must have been learned from her husband, she is still a child, she has made such a big business, and her husband will not have to prepare a dowry for her in the future!" Yi Niang smiled again at this time.

"The dowry is still a trivial matter, I'm really afraid that one day she will suddenly have a whim and run to the Americas by boat!" Li Xiu said with a wry smile at this time, Qi Niang has a fleet, and Zhang Shiyi knows the route to the Americas, so as long as she wants, it can be said that she can go to the Americas at any time, which is what Li Xiu is most worried about.

"Husband thinks too much, Qi Niang is still young after all, and she has a deep relationship with you, how can she leave without saying a word?" Princess Pingyang also opened her mouth to comfort at this time, and it was inconvenient for her to express too many opinions on the matter of Qi Niang, after all, the other party was her poor nephew.

"Maybe!" Li Xiu said a little lonely at this time, Qi Niang is growing up day by day, and sometimes she no longer needs his brother to help her with ideas, although Li Xiu knows that this is a good thing, indicating that Qi Niang has grown up, but he can't help but feel a little lost.

After dinner, Li Xiu wanted to continue to take Princess Pingyang and them to the street to enjoy the lanterns, but they were not very willing to go out, because the lady felt lazy, Princess Pingyang also felt that it was not interesting, and a few children wanted to go out with great interest, and finally Li Xiu simply took a few children to go around in front of the princess's mansion, there are also many lanterns here, and these children did not want to enjoy the lanterns, but just coveted the lively atmosphere outside, and it was enough to buy some delicious snacks by the way.

When the children in the family were happy, Li Xiu took them back to the house to rest, but at this time, he suddenly received news from Li Shimin, it turned out that he had asked Li Xiu to go to Qujiang Pond to enjoy the lanterns again, just like last year.

Li Xiu was also sleepy, but since Li Shimin was invited, he had to cheer up and go out, and then came to Qujiang Pond again, only to see Li Shimin standing in a pavilion, admiring the flower boats in the pool.

"See Your Majesty!" Li Xiu entered the pavilion and saluted Li Shimin.

"No need to be polite, I came here to thank you this time, if you hadn't found out that Cheng Qian had run out without permission, maybe there would have been some big mess!" When Li Shimin heard Li Xiu's voice, he turned around with a smile and said.

"Your Majesty is polite, Cheng Qian is my student, and I am naturally responsible for him, but Cheng Qian is still just a child, it is inevitable that there are some different considerations, and I hope Your Majesty will not punish him too much!" Li Xiu was polite at first, and then pleaded for Li Chengqian.

"Don't worry, I didn't scold him much, but the queen trained him for a long time." Li Shimin seemed to know that Li Xiu would help his son intercede, and he said with a smile at the moment, and after speaking, he asked Li Xiu to sit down, and a few side dishes had been prepared on the table in the pavilion, and Li Xiu was not polite, and sat down to chat with Li Shimin.

In fact, Li Shimin was also bored in the palace, so he came to chat with Li Xiu in the name of thanks, after all, he, the emperor, rarely had a day to rest, but while chatting, Li Xiu suddenly thought of something he had been thinking about for a long time, maybe he could take this opportunity to talk to Li Shimin today?
