Jiang Rucheng has an important thing in mind, and he doesn't know how to eat.

It was easy to finish eating, everyone drank tea and talked, and he waited for a long time and didn't find a chance to talk to Li Hanyao alone. He had no choice but to go to another room, and ordered a little girl to call his sister Jiang Rulan to come, took out the drawings from his sleeve and gave her an explanation.

Jiang Rulan agreed solemnly.

In the evening, she quietly handed over the drawings to Li Hanyao.

Li Hanyao was overjoyed and hurriedly hid it.

After Mrs. Jiang left, the maids and daughters-in-law all fell asleep, Jiang Rulan approached Li Hanyao's ear in the quilt, and whispered: "Big brother wants me to tell you: You can't talk about shipbuilding in the future, and you can't show people the pictures you draw." No matter who asks you, you say it's all gone. Grandfather is going to trouble you! ”

Li Hanyao hurriedly asked, "Why?" ”

Jiang Rulan said: "Because our family's shipbuilding technology is not passed on, our daughter can't learn it, but our son can learn it." The concubine can't learn, but the sister-in-law can learn. ”

Li Hanyao was confused about this during the day - in the Li family, she could learn whatever she wanted, and said busily: "My grandmother asked me to learn." ”

Jiang Rulan pouted and said, "That's to coax you to play." ”

Li Hanyao didn't know what to say.

I heard Jiang Rulan tell in my ear: "You secretly hid the drawings, and when you grow up, let's open a shipyard and build our own shipbuilding." My aunt's family has money, and all the money will be yours in the future. I'm afraid I don't have as much money as you when I grow up. There are many sisters in our family, and we have few dowries. In the future, you will pay the capital, I will give the secret, and build the ship! I secretly learned from my eldest brother, and I learned everything you didn't have time to learn......"

She thought the plan was perfect.

As everyone knows, this plan leaks from all sides.

Li Hanyao nodded after hearing this.

After breakfast the next day, Li Zhuohang said goodbye to his father-in-law, mother-in-law and eldest brother.

Mrs. Jiang hugged Li Hanyao and was reluctant to let go, telling her to come back after the New Year; Mrs. Jiang prepared a lot of earthen gifts, and directed the servants to load them and transport them to the dock; Jiang Rucheng and other brothers and sisters all came to see Li Hanyao, and each had some earnest goodbyes.

Jiang Rucheng looked at his cousin who was about to leave, his thoughts were complicated and difficult to understand, he seemed to be relieved, and he seemed to be a little reluctant and couldn't figure it out.

Jiang Rulan bit Li Hanyao's ears for a long time.

Li Hanyao turned her face and saw Jiang Rubo, and immediately said, "You haven't finished copying the four books yet." Don't be lazy, be sure to copy it. As he spoke, he turned to Jiang Rucheng and said, "Brother Cheng, you help me keep an eye on Brother Bo and don't allow him to rely on him." ”

Jiang Rucheng looked at the red mark on the tip of her nose, a little distressed and guilty, although Jiang Rubo caused this injury, but he also failed to fulfill his responsibility to take care of it, otherwise how could Jiang Rubo have the opportunity to trip over his cousin? He said: "Sister, don't worry, I'm staring at him, he doesn't want to be lazy." When he copied it, he kept his sister to check it. ”

Li Hanyao said: "Well, I'm going to check." ”

Jiang Rubo was so angry that he didn't know what to say, and suddenly blessed his soul, and brought out the words that his grandfather taught him last night: "Thank you, sister." If my cousin is admitted to the Jinshi in the future, my sister will force it out. I thank my cousin in advance. ”

Li Hanyao smiled and said proudly: "That's." ”

Jiang Rubo: "......"

He's sarcastic!

Don't you hear the sarcasm?

In the end, everyone said goodbye.

On the Jingjiang River, the Li family's boat was sailing against the wind.

In the middle cabin, Li Zhuohang hugged his daughter, facing a three-legged elephant trunk bronze smoker, while keeping warm, and asked her about her situation in the Jiang family these days.

Li Hanyao chattered and said: On the first day of arrival, she played against Brother Cheng, played cards with her cousins, and was bullied by Jiang Rubo when she played snow on the second day, she captured Jiang Rubo, and later learned shipbuilding with Brother Cheng in the Library Pavilion.

Li Zhuohang asked: "Do you like your grandfather's house?" ”

Li Hanyao smiled: "I like it." The brothers are very good, and so are the sisters. ”

Li Zhuohang was silent——

Daughter, it's really lonely.

He said, "Daddy found you a few maids to study with." ”

Li Hanyao said: "Okay." ”

She didn't have much interest in the new maid, so she asked, "Daddy, are we still coming to my grandfather's house for the New Year?" ”

Li Zhuohang thought for a moment and said, "I'm not coming." ”

Li Hanyao asked: "Don't pay New Year's greetings?" ”

Li Zhuohang said fiercely: "No." ”

Li Hanyao was a little lost.

Back in Jingtai Mansion, Li Hanyao did not feel bored because of the abrupt separation from her cousins, on the contrary, she was very busy. In addition to the daily schoolwork, her father and mother helped her pick a maid, and she also had to follow the palm.

The selection range of maids includes the sons of the Li family, as well as the daughters of weavers who have worked in the Li family's workshop for generations, and Ya Po also sent more than a dozen.

The girls were all between the ages of six and nine.

The first level is selected by Wang's mother; The person who won the test was taught by Li Zhuohang and Jiang Yuzhen for half a month, from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to needle and female red, all taught, and then assessed and screened out eight; Finally, let Li Hanyao pick it personally.

In the end, five girls were singled out.

They are Li Hanyao's maids, and they are different from ordinary maids, in addition to serving Li Hanyao, they also accompany the girl to study and study.

Li Zhuohang gave them names: listening to the piano, watching chess, appreciating books, appreciating paintings, and embroidering. As the name suggests, each of them is studying a major subject. If you listen to the piano, you are to accompany the girl to learn the piano, and she also has a talent in this area.

Among the five women, the painting and embroidery are all from the weavers of the Taiping Workshop, and they have a natural foundation in brocade design and embroidery; Watching chess and reading books are the sons of the Li family; The listening piano was picked from Ya Po's hand. Li Zhuohang didn't want to use outsiders, but he was very talented and gentle, so he left her behind. For this reason, she specially brought all her family members and placed them in the Li family's workshop to work, which can be described as well-intentioned.

Since then, Li Hanyao has five more little maids.

Before this, Li Zhuohang had already told Jiang Yuzhen about Li Hanyao's situation in the Jiang family, and the old lady Jiang's determination to get married.

Jiang Yu really knows that his father is a little utilitarian, Yao'er is very intelligent, and the dowry in the future will be amazing, and the adopted daughter of a family is begging for hundreds of families, and it is normal for his father to want to be close to each other; Moreover, his nephew Jiang Rucheng is also excellent and worthy of Yao'er, but the Jiang family uses this method, what does Li Zhuohang think?

Jiang Yu was really uncomfortable, and it was hard to say that her parents were not.

Li Zhuohang knew that she was sad, and persuaded her tactfully: "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are also reluctant to Yao'er, for fear that she will be bullied in the future, so let Cheng'er marry her." ”

He found a high-sounding reason for his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Jiang Yuzhen said in his heart: "I'm afraid there is also the meaning that the fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders." It is no different from the plans of those relatives of the Li family. ”

She said: "It's hard to meet in the future." ”

Li Zhuohang said: "I mean, try to take Yao'er to my grandfather's house as little as possible." One to avoid the matter; Second, since she was born as the only daughter of my Li family, she is destined to be coveted, so in order to avoid suffering in the future, I decided to take her with me from now on and train her personally. Before you become an adult, you should not appear in front of people. ”

Jiang Yuzhen was surprised: "Even if you take her by your side, how can you not show up?" ”

Li Zhuohang said: "If you take her openly, you will be in trouble." I'm going to let Yao'er pretend to be a little girl and follow me. Mowen Mowu has a younger brother named Mozhu. Go back and ask Butler Mo to pick up the kid. ”

Since then, Li Hanyao has turned into ink bamboo.

Inevitably leaving future troubles and being recognized in the future, Li Zhuohang and his wife modified her appearance: Mozhu had a black mole on her chin, and Li Hanyao also pasted a fake mole; Then paste the earring holes to cover the traces of wearing earrings; Then the tail end of the one-word eyebrow was thickened, and it was slightly raised upwards to draw two heroic sword eyebrows; Then the tail of the eye is lengthened, and the apricot eye is similar to the Danfeng eye; Two small horns are pierced on the head, and hair hangs down from the back of the head.

After dressing up, it is far from the original appearance.

At first glance, even Li Zhuohang didn't recognize it.

Li Hanyao was very satisfied with her father's arrangement.

She longed for the outside world and had ambition, so she followed her father to study hard and left the matter of going to her grandfather's house behind.

Hurriedly planted twice, Jingkang 20 years in May.

When the three-year appointment with Li Zhuoyuan arrived, Li Zhuohang felt that he was doing well, so he promoted him to the chief treasurer and oversaw all the Li family's transactions in Huizhou.

Li Zhuohang personally went to Huizhou to supervise the settlement of the matter.

He took Li Hanyao with him on this trip.

Li Hanyao, right now it's a little guy Mozhu.

accompanied by Wang's mother and granddaughter Ning'er, who was the maid next to his wife, nominally serving the master, but actually serving the girl.

Mo Zhu is not only serving by the master's side, but he is not badly dressed, and he is also a satin dress, combing the total horns, and he looks beautiful.

Since he is a small servant, he must do the work of a small servant, serving pen and ink, serving tea and pouring water on weekdays; When he went out, he sat on the wheel of a carriage, and sometimes simply rode a horse.

Although Li Zhuohang felt sorry for his daughter, he endured it patiently, and treated Mozhu in front of people, and only ordered Mowen and Mowu to take care of the "younger brother" as elder brothers.

At this time, in the northwest of Dajing, the capital.

When Wang Heng, the left minister of the court, and his wife, Liang Xinming, the priest of the country, were arranging for their thirteen-year-old son Wang Yan to go on a trip, and only ordered him to take an old servant on the road.
