As soon as Zhang Ruolan entered Yingtianfu, she was personally accepted into the yamen by Huang Zong. And Li Qingzhao declined the invitation of Huang Zong and his wife, and took his maid Xiaoqing alone and stayed in the Niu Inn.

At this time, the Niu Family Inn is no longer what it was a month ago. After the chaos was quelled, Boss Niu kept publicizing that Yue Fei had been injured in his inn. As Yue Fei and the Protector Army became more and more popular in Yingtian, the business of the Niu Family Inn became better and better.

Half a month ago, the Niujia Inn moved to the vicinity of Bafang Building, and the business became even more popular. Boss Niu deliberately went to the military camp to protect the people and asked Yue Fei to inscribe his inn. Yue Fei was also not polite, and wrote the four big characters "feel at home" with a pen, which was framed and pasted by Boss Niu and pasted on the gatehouse of the inn. Boss Niu and his wife are very good at doing business, and they really do the service of being at home, and in a short period of time, they have become one of the most famous inns in Yingtianfu.

Boss Niu had a pair of businessman's eyes, and when he saw Li Qingzhao's noble temperament, he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, arranged an upper room on the second floor, and sent his little daughter to serve Li Qingzhao in person, and secretly instructed, "Girl, keep your eyes open, this lady is a famous lady at first glance, and her every move is knowledge." Learn hard, we are small families, we can't afford to hire a female gentleman, and if we want to learn the etiquette of a big family, we can only learn it secretly. ”

Miss Niu didn't have any opinions. She said in her heart that even if she was not as good as this nobleman, she could surpass the maid of her family. Although Xiaoqing is young, she is picturesque, which makes Miss Niu very envious. But she may have thought too much, and when she poured tea for Li Qingzhao, she accidentally knocked the teacup to the ground. As a result, Xiaoqing was invited out of the house with a smile.

Li Qingzhao stood in front of the window, looked at the long skirts on the street, sighed and said, "The villagers here are really happy, and they can live a peaceful life." ”

Xiaoqing continued, "Madam, why don't we live here too." Wait for the prime minister to pick you up, and then we'll go back. ”

Xiaoqing really wants to stay here. On the day of the Chuzhou rebellion, the little girl was frightened. Shivering, he hid in Li Qingzhao's arms, for fear that the rebels would break into the house. Xiaoqing is thirteen years old this year, and she is said to be a maidservant, but in fact, Li Qingzhao treats her as if she has come out.

On the way from Chuzhou to Yingtian, the little girl didn't know how many human tragedies she had seen. The wandering dead, the ruined villages, the bandits, the bandits, the bandits, the starving corpses on the roadside, the herds of wild dogs and wolves, all made this thirteen-year-old girl fall into nightmares.

Until entering the realm of Ying Heaven and Earth, all the scenes have undergone a great transformation, as if from hell to the world. Although there are traces of war, smoke is rising in most of the villages, soybeans and sorghum are about to ripen, and the villagers they meet on the road are full of hope in their eyes, and they don't seem to be worried about the nearby rebels at all. Those rebels did not dare to pour into the realm of heaven and earth.

After entering Yingtianfu City, the dense crowds on the street, the dense shops on both sides of the street, the various signboards in front of the shops, and the hawkers carrying burdens along the street all made the master and servant go back to Bianliang a few years ago.

Everyone yearns for the Peach Blossom Land in troubled times, so Xiaoqing has this to say. It's just that as soon as her words fell, she saw Li Qingzhao frowning. Xiaoqing was so frightened that she quickly stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to speak again.

Li Qingzhao came to Yingtian, originally wanting to meet Yue Fei, who was revered by Meng An and others. But when I think about being a woman, it is always inappropriate to go to the barracks to meet a general. Even if the general is twenty years younger than himself. It would be nice if Zhao Mingcheng was also there.

Thinking of his father-in-law, Li Qingzhao was even more upset. Later, Li Qingzhao decided to wait for a day, and Huang Zong and his wife should come over tomorrow, and meet with them when the time comes.

Miss Niu was standing at the door of the inn very angrily, scolding herself in her heart, "It's so stupid, it's not even good to pour tea." Isn't that little girl only a teenager? Look at how clever people are. ”

At this moment, Miss Niu saw Li Bashao and Li Xiao'e walking towards their inn. Immediately put the unhappiness in his heart out of the nine clouds, and hurriedly stepped forward and shouted the eighth master.

When she heard that Li Bashao and Li Xiao'e had come to see Li Qingzhao, Miss Niu was even more surprised. In her opinion, the eighth master is the most noble person in Yingtianfu, but she didn't expect to use a word to invite when she came to see this Li Qingzhao.

Boss Niu heard Li Bashao's laughter, hurried over early, and when he heard Li Bashao's intention, he couldn't help but secretly praise his vicious eyes. The person who lived in his inn was indeed a nobleman.

When leading the Li father and daughter to the upper room where Li Qingzhao lived, Li Qingzhao was standing at the window and pondering. Li Bashao clasped his fists and shouted at Li Qingzhao, "Mrs. Zhao." ”

Li Qingzhao looked down, and the first thing he saw was Li Xiao'e in a moon-white silk shirt, and secretly praised, such a beautiful girl. Then I saw Li Bashao with a red face.

Li Qingzhao hurriedly walked downstairs and said a little excitedly, "It turns out that Uncle Li is still living in Yingtian." ”

It turned out that Li Bashao returned from sailing more than ten years ago, and his family was very rich, so in order to avoid the crime of being guilty, he went to Bianliang to find a backer. Because Zhao Mingcheng's father Zhao Tingzhi was still a scholar at that time, Li Bashao went to Zhao's mansion several times with a lot of money. At that time, Li Qingzhao had just married Zhao Mingcheng, although he was famous all over the world, he was still a literary young woman with great curiosity.

Of course, it was said that it was to invite dinner, but in fact, Li Qingzhao wanted to ask Li Bashao about the strange things about sailing to the sea. When he heard Li Bashao say that there were really whales as tall as buildings on the sea, Li Qingzhao couldn't wait to go to the sea himself.

Li Bashao was flattered at the time, thinking that he was a maritime businessman, and he could be invited to dinner by the prime minister's son-in-law. Although the prime minister's son has a cold appearance, the prime minister's daughter-in-law is approachable, without any discrimination against businessmen, and is commensurate with Li Bashao as an uncle. When he heard Li Bashao talk about having a little daughter who was a few years old at home, he immediately gave Li Bashao a jade pendant. The jade pendant has a dream-like order engraved by Li Qingzhao himself. And said to Li Bashao with a smile, this jade pendant will be given to Sister Xiao'e.

Li Bashao is a grateful person. Although Zhao Tingzhi looked down on him back then, he did not accept his refuge, but finally threw himself into the Taiwei Gao Yu Mansion. But Li Bashao did not hold a grudge against Zhao Tingzhi. After all, Zhao Tingzhi himself is a fictitious prime minister, and everything depends on Cai Jing's face. He only remembered Li Qingzhao's gift of jade pendants. And firmly believe that his daughter Xiao'e is a blessed person. At a young age, she can receive a jade pendant miniature carving presented by the talented girl Li Qingzhao, and she will definitely be a talented girl in the future. In fact, the material of the jade pendant given by Li Qingzhao is not particularly good. But Li Xiao'e has always hung the jade pendant around her neck and regarded it as a treasure. Because Li Xiao'e has especially admired Li Qingzhao's poetry since she learned that Li Qingzhao had called her sister.

After learning that Li Qingzhao had come to Yingtian, Li Bashao immediately led Li Xiao'e to visit. Although the Zhao family and the Li family are now down, in Li Bashao's eyes, Li Qingzhao is still the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family that he is most grateful to. In Li Xiao'e's eyes, Li Qingzhao is still the big sister she admires the most.

Li Qingzhao has an amazing memory. As soon as he saw Li Bashao, he recognized that this old man with white hair was Li Bashao, who had told him about the strange things at sea more than ten years ago.

When Li Xiao'e saw the peerless Li Qingzhao, she was already so excited that she couldn't help herself. stepped forward and bowed down, "Sister Qingzhao, sister Xiao'e is polite." I didn't expect to be able to meet my sister in my life. ”

Li Qingzhao was stunned for a moment, because she didn't know Li Xiao'e. But immediately guessed that this was Li Bashao's youngest daughter. When Li Xiao'e took off the jade pendant around her neck and let her watch, Li Qingzhao said with emotion, "Time is like flowing water, and you are white in the blink of an eye." Unexpectedly, the little girls in Li Lao's mouth have become peerless beauties. ”

When he saw that Li Xiao'e's head was still combed in a girl's bun, Li Qingzhao was a little surprised. Because of furniture like Li Bashao, Li Xiao'e is extremely beautiful, and she should have married a wife a long time ago.

Li Xiao'e is also exquisite, she can see what Li Qingzhao is thinking from Li Qingzhao's eyes, and immediately said proudly and shyly, I will marry Brother Yue tomorrow.

Li Qing took care of Li E's eyes when he talked about Brother Yue, and hurriedly asked, "Is it the Yue Tuan training envoy who writes down Jianghong that my sister wants to marry?" ”

Li Xiao'e asked anxiously, "Does my sister also know that poem?" Does my sister think that word is good? ”

Li Qingzhao directly gave a very high evaluation. "A swan song for the ages!"

Li Qingzhao's evaluation made Li Xiao'e dance excitedly. You must know that Li Qingzhao became a well-known talented woman in the world when she was a girl, and now she is over forty years old, and she has already established her status in the imperial and Song poetry circles. Since even Li Qingzhao said that Brother Yue's song is a swan song for the ages, it must be a swan song for the ages.

When Li Qingzhao was about to invite Li Bashao's father and daughter upstairs, Boss Niu brought Yue Fei in again. As soon as Li Xiao'e saw Yue Fei, she immediately walked up to Yue Fei and said excitedly, "Brother Yue, Sister Li said that your Man Jianghong is a swan song for the ages." ”

Yue Fei patted Li Xiao'e on the shoulder, telling her not to be so excited, bowed to Li Bashao, and then stepped forward to greet Li Qingzhao. Yue Fei originally wanted to call Mrs. Zhao Li Qingzhao, but Li Qingzhao opened his mouth first and smiled, "Yue Tuan Lian, you can just call my sister with Xiao'e." Hyo-e is the younger sister I recognized many years ago. Yue Tuanlian has an extraordinary bearing, and he will become a man of the hour in the future, and my sister Xiao'e is blessed. ”

Li Xiao'e saw that Li Qingzhao admired Yue Fei so much, and immediately had a happy expression on her face. Yue Fei doesn't like to hear others praise him. Hurriedly thanked. He came to Li Qingzhao to ask for something. It's not just to listen to Li Qingzhao's praise. Outside the Niujia Inn, there was a large group of Li Qingzhao's die-hard fans waiting for autographs. Just as he was about to speak, Li Qingzhao suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I'll go upstairs to get some gifts." He walked up to the second floor with light steps, and soon came out with two more scrolls.

Li Qingzhao handed over a scroll to Yue Fei, and a scroll to Li Xiao'e, and said with a smile, "Sister Xiao'e is going to marry tomorrow, and I have nothing to do, so I can only give you two calligraphy and paintings as a congratulatory gift." ”

Yue Fei opened the scroll and saw that the words were like flowing clouds and water, and his demeanor was in all directions, but it was the water tune song head written by Su Dongpo himself: When is the bright moon. Li Xiao'e's painting is Su Dongpo's own book Nian Nujiao: Da Jiangdong goes.

Su Dongpo's calligraphy and painting were extremely rare at this time, because not only the local literati of the Song Dynasty liked to collect Su Dongpo's calligraphy and paintings, but also the high-ranking people of the Wa Kingdom, Goryeo, Daliao, Dali, Annan and other countries were keen to collect Su Dongpo's calligraphy and paintings. With the help of his father Li Gefei, who was the light of the Great Su Sect, Li Qingzhao also collected four Su Dongpo's characters and three Su Dongpo's paintings. This time, I came to Yingtian and brought them all.

Yue Fei and Li Xiao'e didn't know about Su Dongpo's calligraphy and painting market, so they immediately accepted it calmly. But Li Bashao knew how valuable this gift was. He knew that his daughter liked Su Dongpo's poems, and he wanted to buy one for his daughter very early. But for a few years, I didn't buy a single one.

However, Li Bashao did not shirk this gift. Li Qingzhao said it herself, this is the dowry gift she gave to Yue Fei and Li Xiao'e. If you shirk, it will be ominous.

After Li Qingzhao sent out the congratulatory gift, he asked Yue Fei with a faint smile, "Yue Tuanlian came to the inn to find me, I don't know what you are doing?" ”

Yue Fei hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Sister Li doesn't know. Since Meng An returned to the camp and said the news that you came to Yingtian, the talents of the Protector Army want to see your demeanor. Now they are standing outside the inn door, I wonder if Sister Li can allow them to come in. ”
