Li Zhuohang stopped from time to time to explain to his daughter how to deal with it on the chessboard.

At the beginning, Li Hanyao took advantage of the time to wait for her father after the child, hid her hand a few times shorter, and secretly rubbed her right wrist - it was really sore and painful! She loves to play chess, and after playing for a while, she fell into a trance, listened carefully to her father's chess theory, and unconsciously put her hands on the low table, and kept rubbing her wrists while going down.

Although Li Zhuohang was distressed when he saw it, he didn't break it.

After the next plate, Jiang inserted it in time and asked the maid to bring out some snacks and snacks, so that their father and daughter could rest for a while and eat something.

Li Hanyao saw that there was her favorite vegetarian chicken leg, and cheered: "Chicken leg!" ”

Li Zhuohang also smiled and said, "It's so fragrant." ”

Zheng's mother smiled: "This is what my wife did." ”

Li Zhuohang smiled: "Oh, I don't know if it's delicious or not." I deliberately made eye contact with my daughter, looking expectant.

Li Hanyao said: "It must be delicious." ”

Jiang said angrily: "You haven't eaten yet, you know?" It's gluttonous. While personally helping his father and daughter carry a chicken leg in the bowl.

Li Zhuohang was afraid that his daughter would not be able to use chopsticks because of her hands, and this was outside, so he didn't want to restrain his daughter, so he took the lead in grabbing the chicken leg with his hand and taking a bite, while signaling Li Hanyao to also grasp and gnaw with his hand.

Li Hanyao happily took a bite and felt that her lips and teeth were fragrant; Looking at the chicken leg again, there is actually shuttlecock meat similar to real chicken thigh, which is amazing. She chewed the vegetarian chicken legs, looked at the beautiful countryside on both sides of the "gallery", felt the breeze on the river, and said with satisfaction: "The vegetarian chicken legs made by my mother are the best!" ”

This time it's a sincere compliment.

Li Zhuohang glanced at his wife and said meaningfully: "Your mother has a secret recipe." So it's better than what the kitchen people make. ”

Li Hanyao hurriedly asked, "What secret recipe?" ”

Li Zhuohang leaned forward and whispered to her, "Add a secret seasoning." ”

Li Hanyao also asked in a low voice: "What seasoning?" ”

Li Zhuohang said mysteriously: "It's love, love for my daughter, love for my husband!" ”

Jiang was embarrassed and blushed.

Li Hanyao asked in confusion: "What is love?" ”

Li Zhuohang saw that his daughter didn't gnaw on the chicken legs anymore, his red lips and white cheeks were stained with some thick juice, and he looked at himself with a puzzled face. ”

Li Hanyao suddenly realized——

Love is vegetarian chicken legs!

Li Zhuohang almost choked.

……

After dinner, Li Hanyao insisted on learning calligraphy.

The sunset hangs on the top of the mountain, about to sink behind the mountain, and the afterglow shines on the water.

Li Zhuohang blew the hole flute.

The deep and melodious sound of the flute meandered along with the river, which also took away Li Hanyao's exhaustion and frustration, and made her feel at ease and fall into an ethereal realm.

The lamp was in charge, and Jiang urged his daughter to close the stall.

Li Hanyao refused, she now hated the two hands, hated the pen in her hand, and vowed to tame them, so she moved to the cabin and fought at night.

Li Zhuohang and Jiang were both on the side.

I don't know how long it took, Li Hanyao was tired and sleepy, her little head was a little, and she accidentally planted it on the table. She subconsciously raised her head to dodge, her hand shook, and the ink on the tip of the pen stained the tip of her nose, and she woke up. She didn't realize it, yawned, wiped her face with her little hand, wiped her face with black ink, and then continued to write.

Li Zhuohang and Jiang got up together.

Jiang gently hugged his daughter, Li Zhuohang went to pull the brush in his daughter's hand, and said softly: "Yao'er, sleep, write again tomorrow." ”

Li Hanyao half-closed her eyes, sensing that someone was about to grab the pen, her hand tightened, she clenched the pen, and said "mmmm" twice in her mouth, struggling: "Write, write ......"

Li Zhuohang's heart tightened, and he whispered: "Wash your face and write again." ”

Li Hanyao seemed to agree and let go.

Li Zhuohang gently pulled out the pen and rested it on the pen holder.

As soon as Li Hanyao's strength was relieved, she couldn't support it, and fell asleep with her head leaning into Jiang's arms, and Wang's mother helped her wash her face in his wife's arms.

Li Zhuohang whispered beside him: "Use a hot hand towel to compress the girl's wrist."

Mother Wang hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

She brushed away the girl's thin, white, somewhat stiff little fingers, and burst into tears, "Good girl......"

The trip lasted more than ten days.

They arrived in Hecheng first, and Li Zhuoer and his wife took the first step, and they had already come to Hecheng, handed over the shop accounts to the new shopkeeper, and packed their bags and were waiting for them.

After the two sides met, stayed for one night.

In the evening, Li Zhuohang hosted a banquet for a merchant in the largest restaurant in the city, and in the evening he checked the operation of the shop and made some arrangements.

The next day, Li Zhuoer and his wife took their son Li Tianfeng on the boat and continued eastward.

After that, Li Zhuohang inspected several businesses under the name of the Li family one after another, and finally arrived in the capital city of Jingtai Mansion in Huzhou, where the Li family has a large workshop.

This workshop was owned by the Xie family, a textile family, during the Shunchang period. Later, the Xie family was defeated, the workshop was transferred, and the Li family took over.

The general name of the Li family is "Taiping Firm".

The Li family's house in Jingtaifu City is a garden building in the south of the Yangtze River: exquisite and small courtyards, mountains and rocks, flowers and trees, although it is not comparable to the natural scenery of Huangshan Mountain, but there is a hidden universe within a square inch.

Since their return, Li Zhuohang and his wife have been busy every day, dealing with the backlog of business and housework that has accumulated in the months since returning to their hometown, and Li Hanyao has been completely handed over to Wang's mother to take care of.

No matter how strong Li Hanyao is, she is a five-year-old child in the end, how can she endure this boring study life, and she has no brothers and sisters to accompany her. After winter, pockmarks hibernate. The weather was cold, and Wang's mother didn't even let out the door, almost driving her crazy.

When she was irritable, Mrs. Jiang came with her cousin and cousin. Needless to say, cousin Jiang Rulan is the best with Li Hanyao; Cousin Jiang Rucheng is also very good to her, he is a good brother who eats and plays with her and is also responsible for the aftermath.

Li Hanyao's days became exciting.

※

Jiang Rucheng is the eldest grandson of the Jiang family, the future young master of the Jiang family, at the age of ten, he bears the heavy responsibility of the family on his shoulders and has to learn a lot of things every day.

The Jiang family mainly built the shipbuilding industry and maritime commerce.

For as long as he can remember, Jiang Rucheng has seen all kinds of boats in his eyes, and what he hears in his ears is still boats, as well as everything about the sea.

The children of the official eunuch family learned the six arts of gentlemen, and Jiang Rucheng learned business and shipbuilding; Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are also learned, in order to cultivate one's self-cultivation. Learning shipbuilding did not really ask him to build ships, but to let him understand the structure of ships, and business was his main study.

His life is inseparable from water and boats.

Ever since he could walk, he has learned to swim.

Ten-year-old Jiang Rucheng is smart and steady, but this is just the appearance, he is inconsistent on the outside, and his actions are often unexpected, as slippery as a loach.

He was not very enthusiastic about reading, and often stayed in the study to study the elaborate models of large ships, and buried his head in the pile of drawings, which was a day.

This is his secret: it is difficult to skip school when reading, and it is not lazy to write and endorse; But studying shipbuilding is different, he can do nothing for a few days, and then make a sudden appearance. This degree is in his own control depending on the situation.

This secret was discovered by the cousin of the Li family.

This cousin is not only favored by her aunt and uncle, but also by all the elders of the Jiang family. The first time Li Hanyao came to Jiang's house, Jiang Rucheng was told by her grandmother and mother: to take her sister to play, and let her do everything. Li Hanyao is here, he doesn't have to study hard, just play with Li Hanyao.

Jiang Rucheng once wondered: Why are the elders so partial to their cousins? Even his own sister Jiang Rulan has to stay behind. Later, he overheard the conversation between his grandmother and his mother, and realized that they wanted to marry the cousin of the Li family. Recently, his mother's intentions were not concealed at all, and she told him directly.
