"Gifts, gifts!" Li Xiu shook the recliner and whispered, he is now lying under a willow tree in front of the yard, because it is a new yard, there are no big trees in the yard, and several trees that have just been moved have also been cut off from branches, and it is estimated that it will take at least next year to form a shade, so when Li Xiu wants to enjoy the coolness, he can only go to the shade in front of the yard, the trees here are specially left by him, in order to have a place to rest in the hot summer.

"What to give? Cake? Although it is novel, it is just a delicious pastry, and the grade is a bit low, and it does not show sincerity. Perfume? It seems that high-purity alcohol and various spices are used, which I don't understand at all. Clothes, bags? Even if it can be designed and manufactured, it must be appreciated, and in ancient times, it seemed a little strange for a big man to give these things to a woman......" Li Xiu said to himself while thinking, and many of the gifts he thought of were immediately rejected by him.

"Master, you've been talking about it since yesterday, what are you talking about?" Yuechan came over at this time and poured Li Xiu a bowl of sour plum soup to relieve the heat and asked, It's just May, and the weather is already hot.

"Yuechan, if it's your birthday, what do you want the master to give you?" Li Xiu suddenly said at this time, he was also stumped by Princess Pingyang's birthday gift, and he didn't have any clue from yesterday to now, so he asked Yuechan's opinion.

"Ahh I? Yuechan suddenly turned red when she heard this, but she still thought seriously for a while, and then she whispered very shyly, "As long as it is a gift from the master, no matter what Yuechan likes!" ”

"Huh? Bai asked! Li Xiu also smiled helplessly when he heard this, no matter what era, giving gifts to women is the most nerve-wracking problem.

"Master, it's really not good, let's go to the West Market again, there are rare treasures from all over the world, and there is also the East Market, I heard that there are all kinds of gold, silver and jade there, maybe you can find a gift that suits your heart?" Seeing the expression on Li Xiu's face, Yuechan also guessed what he was thinking, and immediately opened her mouth to propose.

"This ......" Li Xiu also thought about it seriously when he heard this, although those gifts were not bad, but he always felt that something was missing, "Let me think about it again, if I really can't think of it, then I can only go to the two cities for a turn!" ”

Hearing Li Xiu say this, the well-behaved Yuechan did not persuade again, and handed the sour plum soup to Li Xiu at the moment, Li Xiu took it and drank it all, the cold and sweet and sour taste made people feel that the heat disappeared, but this year's summer came too early, it was so hot in May, if you wait until July, I don't know what it will be like to be hot?

Just when Li Xiu finished drinking the sour plum soup, Yuechan packed up her things and was about to go home, suddenly she only heard a noisy sound in the distance, it seemed that there were horses' hooves and wheels, as well as the shouts of people, as if a convoy was coming from a distance, which made Li Xiu also sit up from the recliner a little strangely, he was quite a long distance away from the main road here, and there was only a small road leading to him nearby, so there should be no big convoy?

Li Xiu's doubts didn't last long, only to see a convoy suddenly turn out of the woods at the end of the path, and one after another carts full of things were driven out, and finally there were a total of ten carts, and the drivers on the carts were all dressed in uniform clothes, and it seemed that they should be the house slaves of a certain powerful family.

"What is this for, is it who is going to move the family to the neighborhood?" Li Xiu looked at the ten big cars coming in front of him and said in surprise, each car was loaded with things, he really couldn't think of any other reason except to move, but he hadn't heard of anyone building a new Zhuangzi nearby?

"Master, this is not like moving, you see that all the boxes they pulled on the car are big boxes, and there are straw between the boxes, and the valuables should be pulled inside, should there be any powerful people who enter Beijing, and they are not familiar with the road and go to the wrong place, right?" Yuechan also guessed at this time that the things she was moving and pulling were more messy, unlike the car in front of her, which was all packed in a unified big box.

"Could it be that someone gave the princess a gift in advance, and ended up in the wrong place?" Li Xiu thought of a possibility at this time, but there are still nine days before Princess Pingyang's birthday, and it is too early to give gifts at this time, and there are so many gifts, if it is not for her loved ones, I am afraid that Princess Pingyang will not accept it at all.

But as soon as Li Xiu's words fell, he suddenly saw a knight rushing out of the opposite convoy, and immediately an old man with gray hair saw Li Xiu and immediately laughed: "Little Brother Li has been good lately, the old man has come to give you a gift today!" ”

Du ...... Uncle Du? Li Xiu was stunned for a moment when he saw this old man who took the lead, and then said with some surprise, the person who came was Du Fuwei, who was awakened by him last time.

I saw Du Fuwei throw off the team behind him and come to Li Xiu, and immediately threw the saddle and dismounted and hugged Li Xiu and said: "Little Brother Li, thank you for waking up last time, the old man finally let go of a big stone in his heart, and the court did not cross the river to tear down the bridge, and he was also very generous to the old man and the brothers of the Jianghuai Army, although it was a pacification strategy, but the old man was finally relieved, and this time he also came to thank Brother Li!" ”

When Du Fuwei said at the end, he was so excited that he wanted to salute Li Xiu, which made Li Xiu also startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said: "Uncle Du is too polite, although you and I are very different in age, but we are familiar at first sight, and I can't sit idly by and ignore the matter of Uncle Du, not to mention that I just reminded a few words, I don't deserve such a big gift from Uncle Du!" ”

"Deserved! Deserved! Originally, I should have come to thank Brother Li a long time ago, but in order to wait for the things sent by the brothers over there in Jianghuai, I delayed for a few days, and the things just arrived this morning, Brother Li, how about you look at the gifts from the elder brother? When Du Fuwei said this, he proudly pointed to the convoy behind him, these were all thanks gifts he gave to Li Xiu.

However, Li Xiu saw the ten piles of big cars like a hill coming in front of him, and he couldn't help but say with some shame for a while: "Uncle, is your gift too heavy, when I saw your convoy just now, I thought someone was moving?" ”

"It's not heavy, it's not heavy at all, speaking of which, the Jianghuai area is extremely rich, especially there are a lot of maritime merchants who also have to pass there, although the old man is not a person who loves money, but just the good things that others gave me filled several warehouses, these cars of things are picked out by me, I hope Brother Li will not dislike it!" Du Fuwei is very heroic, he is a bandit, he pays attention to drinking wine and eating meat in a big bowl, and he also gives gifts affordably.

Li Xiu is not a person who twists and turns, and he also understands Du Fuwei's temper, since he sent it, if he doesn't accept it, I'm afraid the other party will be unhappy, so he didn't give in at this time, and asked Yuechan to lead these big cars into the door, and he himself personally accompanied Du Fuwei to the living room to sit down.

"I heard that Uncle Du was rewarded with a large number of fiefs by His Majesty, and everyone said that you are the first landlord of our Tang Dynasty, and you haven't come here to congratulate Uncle Du yet!" As soon as Li Xiu sat down, he immediately laughed at Du Fuwei, last time he heard Princess Pingyang talk about Du Fuwei, it is said that his fief is more than Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.

"Haha, money and land are all things outside the body, it is better to have it, it doesn't matter if you don't, the old man also wants to open it during this time, and then he will honestly stay at home and tease his grandson, and there are also some injured old subordinates who also need to be taken care of, Your Majesty rewarded me with so much land, but I can also use it!" Du Fuwei also said with some emotion at this time.

Before he let go of the Jianghuai Army's military power, he still had a lot of reluctance in his heart, but when he really let go, he felt as if he had unloaded the burden of Wanjun on his shoulders, and the whole person felt much more relaxed.

"It's good that Uncle Du can think like this, but how is the handover on the Jianghuai Army's side, is there any problem?" Li Xiu suddenly thought of a question at this time, and asked with great concern at the moment, what he was most worried about was Du Fuwei's old friend Fu Gongyou, in history, it was this person who falsely passed on Du Fuwei's orders, which led to the rebellion of the Jianghuai Army, and Du Fuwei's death was unknown.

At the mention of the handover of the Jianghuai army, Du Fuwei's brows couldn't help frowning, and only after a moment did he speak: "After deciding to delegate power, I personally wrote a letter to my righteous son Wang Xiongli in the Jianghuai army, and when the holy decree arrived, he also handed over the military power very happily, but I have an old brother who is reluctant to hand over the military power, even if I write to him it is useless, and he is still in a stalemate with the imperial court." ”

"Isn't it Fu Gongyou?" When Li Xiu heard this, he immediately asked, compared to Du Fuwei, Fu Gongyou is the real ambitious, even if he knows that his strength is very different from that of Datang, he is still willing to rebel like Fei'e fighting fire.

"It's indeed him, Brother Li is really well-informed!" When Du Fuwei saw Li Xiu, he immediately guessed that it was Fu Gongyou who refused to hand over power, and he looked at him in surprise at the moment, but thinking of Li Xiu's great name in the capital, even the crown prince and the king of Qin were vying to recruit him, so such a person naturally couldn't wait to ignore him.

For Du Fuwei's praise, Li Xiu just smiled and didn't say anything, Fu Gongyou was unwilling to hand over power, which would definitely have some impact on the handover of the Jianghuai Army, but Du Fuwei's main forces were handed over to Wang Xiongsao, since the other party had handed over power, then the troops in Fu Gongyou's hands should not be much, so he was afraid that he would not be able to make any big waves.

Then Li Xiu chatted with Du Fuwei a few words, and it was about to be noon at this time, so Li Xiu asked Yuechan to prepare wine and food, Du Fuwei also wanted to make a good friend with Li Xiu, and he was happy to stay, but after the dishes were served, Li Xiu suddenly smiled mysteriously at this time: "Uncle Du, last time you were taken in on the road, and you also used tiger meat to entertain you, and I also prepared a good thing today, I think you will definitely like it!"
