"What's the matter?" Li Xiu saw Qi Niang running over with the wedding dress in his hand, and couldn't help laughing at the moment, although the wedding dress is hateful, but Qi Niang is about to grow into a big girl now, and she is about to think about getting married, but when she thinks that her favorite sister is going to be snatched away by a stinky boy from another family, Li Xiu can't help but feel sour in her heart.

"Hehe, big brother, can you promise me one thing first?" Qi Niang did not immediately tell what she wanted to discuss, but stepped forward and hugged Li Xiu's arm and said coquettishly.

"Okay, don't shake it, you're a big girl, why are you still so unorthodox and let people see what it looks like?" Li Xiu opened his mouth to teach at this time, because he knew that as long as Qi Niang was coquettish, it would definitely be no good thing.

"What's the matter, you are my eldest brother, and I also know that my eldest brother spoils me the most, so eldest brother, can you promise me quickly?" Qi Niang continued to beg without caring at all, she was usually spoiled by Li Xiu, as long as she made a decision in her heart, she would pursue it with all her might, and she didn't care about other people's eyes at all.

"No, tell me what's going on!" Li Xiu would not fall for Qi Niang so easily, and refused ruthlessly at the moment.

"Big brother~~" Qi Niang used her coquettish trick again at this time, as long as she used this trick before, Li Xiu would spoil herself and promise herself.

"If you say no, you can't, either you tell me what is the matter first, or I refuse now!" Li Xiu refused again at this time, as Qi Niang grew older, this little girl's heart and eyes became more and more, Li Xiu had already suffered several losses before, so he would not get used to her now.

Seeing Li Xiu's attitude so resolute, Qi Niang also shook her arm angrily, she wanted to leave in anger, but she was a little reluctant, and finally spoke again: "I want to go to the beach to see my shipbuilding workshop!" ”

"No way!" Li Xiu knew that Qi Niang begged him for sure nothing good, speaking of which, Qi Niang had her own shipbuilding workshop a few years ago, and also cooperated with Zhang Shiyi, so that the sea ships built by the workshop sold well along the entire Datang coast, and also began to do some maritime trade business, but Qi Niang was a woman after all, and Li Xiu was not worried that she was alone outside, so Qi Niang had not even seen her own shipbuilding workshop until now.

"I knew that you wouldn't agree, big brother, but this time it's different, because I'm not going alone, but with Sister Hate'er, so you should rest assured, big brother, right?" When Qi Niang heard Li Xiu's refusal, she was a little annoyed at first, but quickly regained her composure.

"What? You go with Hate'er, isn't Hate'er going to get married? Li Xiu didn't react when he heard Qi Niang's words, and asked inexplicably with an inexplicable face, and even he wondered if Qi Niang was making excuses?

"Of course Sister Hya'er wants to get married, and after getting married, I will go to Suzhou with my brother-in-law to take office, and it just so happens that my shipbuilding workshop has moved to Suzhou, so I plan to go with Sister Hate'er, now you should agree to let me go, right?" Qi Niang said confidently at this time.

Li Xiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then remembered that Shangguan Yi was released as an official this time, in fact, he went to a county subordinate to Suzhou to make a county order, and a promising young official like Shangguan Yi generally needs experience in local governance.

"That's not good, Hate is married to her husband, what is your little girl, and Shangguan Yi must be busy when he goes to other places to be an official, how can he have time to take care of you?" Li Xiu quickly reacted, and then refused again.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, don't I have a little freedom?" Qi Niang thought that her reasons were sufficient, but she didn't expect Li Xiu to reject her, which made her hope turn into ice water, and the tears of anger were about to come out.

"Who said you don't have freedom, isn't Chang'an so big enough for you to play, and look at the other noble women in Chang'an City, which one can move around as freely as you do?" Li Xiu did not back down, even in the later life, it is not particularly safe for a girl to go out alone, not to mention that in an era like the Tang Dynasty, even if he brings more guards, Li Xiu is not at ease.

"Hmph, forget it if you don't agree, stingy!" Qi Niang was also angry and aggrieved when she heard Li Xiu's last words, but she stubbornly scolded Li Xiu, turned around and left with her wedding clothes, but shed tears while walking.

In fact, Qi Niang also knew that the eldest brother was already very indulgent to herself, as long as she didn't go beyond the scope of Chang'an, she could go wherever she wanted, but she had her own ideas and plans, and she couldn't tell Li Xiu, which caused a conflict between the two.

Looking at Qi Niang's stubborn appearance, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh helplessly, and wondered if he was too strict with Qi Niang? However, he would never agree to her going to Suzhou as a girl, even if she followed Ha'er and Shangguanyi.

However, if Qi Niang really wants to go, she can find time to accompany her in the future, and then bring her family with her, after all, I heard that the scenery in Suzhou is quite good, not to mention that Yangzhou is also next to Suzhou.

Thinking about Qi Niang's affairs, Li Xiu did not stop, and soon saw Ma Ye who was directing his subordinates to move things in the warehouse of the inner house, and there were more than a dozen big cars parked in front of the warehouse, and the cars were already full of things.

"Uncle Ma, are you going to give away all your belongings?" Li Xiu came to the sweaty Ma Ye at this time, and looked at his head of dirt and sweat and couldn't help but tease, Ma Ye had nothing to worry about before, and he had never accumulated any family funds, until he had a hate, he began to prepare a dowry for hate, but because the time was relatively short, the accumulated family funds were really not much, and now the treasury was about to be emptied by him.

"I'm still too little about this, do you, as a brother, also have to have some dowry?" Ma Ye glanced at Li Xiu at this time and said, his father married his daughter, he was both happy and sad in his heart, after all, his daughter was a member of another family after she got married, so his mood at this time was also very complicated.

"Of course, not only me, Xiuning and Yiniang have also prepared dowries for Ha'er, and I have sent them all, it will not be less than Uncle Ma's dowry!" Li Xiu said with a smile at this time.

As soon as he heard this, Ma Ye finally smiled a little, he didn't care about any dowry, but these dowries represented Li Xiu's intentions, indicating that Li Xiu regarded Hate Er as a sister, and it was not nice to say it, in the future, he and the county lord of Guanghua were gone, and there was also Li Xiu, the eldest brother, to support Hate Er, so there was no need to worry about Hate being bullied.

"Uncle Ma, has the date of marriage been set, and there are not enough people, I happen to be fine during this time, and you can tell me anything!" Li Xiu spoke again at this time.

"The date has been set, just on the twenty-fifth of this month, and now there are only less than ten days left to prepare, as for the manpower, there is no shortage of manpower, those old brothers in Wuzhizhuang also often come to help, and we are married daughters, there are not many places to be busy, but my son-in-law has more things to do, you are his boss, just help him with anything!" Ma Ye thought about it and spoke again.

"Don't worry about this, Shangguan Yi has always asked people to help, and his popularity in the Ministry of Agriculture is good, I heard that he is going to get married, and many people have run to help." Li Xiu said with a smile at this time.

"That is, my son-in-law not only has a good character, but also has top talents, and now he is going to be released as an official, and he has a bright future in the future, so those people in the Ministry of Agriculture naturally want to make more friends now." Ma Ye was also proud when he heard this, he has always been very satisfied with Shangguan Yi's son-in-law, after all, so many nobles wanted to marry their daughters to each other, but in the end, they still let themselves grab it.

However, when Ma Ye said this, he suddenly thought of something, looked around at the moment, and then pulled Li Xiu to a corner and said: "By the way, aren't you going to introduce that cotton seed from the Western Regions, it just so happened that our people came from the Western Regions with a message, you must be interested!" ”
