Li Xu ordered someone to clean up the house and invited Miss Li in to talk.

Miss Li shook her head: "After all, this is the place arranged by the government for you, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for me in the past, if I am criticized, it will not be worth the loss, I have found a courtyard in the city, the ninth brother will come with me!" ”

Li Xu nodded, the clan sister has always been thoughtful, and she is impeccable in her work, and he never needs to worry about these details.

Li Xu followed the carriage to the courtyard, tidied up his clothes, and then walked into the house to talk to Miss Li.

Miss Li raised her eyes and looked at Li Xu: "Ninth brother, has you encountered anything difficult?" ”

Li Xu shook his head: "No, the case in Changzhou is going well, and we are going back to Beijing." ”

A look of joy appeared on Miss Li's face: "When we entered Jiangyin, we heard that the ninth brother did a good job on this errand, and he will definitely be rewarded by the imperial court after returning to Beijing.

When the ninth brother was a child, I said that among the many descendants of the Li family, only the ninth brother can have some ability in the future, and whether our Li family can gain a foothold depends on the ninth brother.

The imperial court also has a vision, there are so many people in the criminal department, why do you prefer the ninth brother to come, but also because of the talent of the ninth brother, wait for me to go back and tell the ancestors about this happy event, so that the brothers of the Li family can also learn from the ninth brother. ”

Li Xu took a sip of tea: "Sister don't say this, I'm just icing on the cake, no matter who the court sends to this case, it will be like this." ”

Miss Li nodded: "I know, I'm also happy in my heart, I said a few more words, the current situation naturally can't be ostentatious, or step by step steady." ”

Li Xu raised his head: "Are you okay at home?" ”

"It's good," Miss Li looked at Li Xu carefully, "It's you, it seems that life is not going well, and you should be happy to solve such a big case." Li Xu seems to be in good spirits, but there is a faint sadness between his eyebrows, if it weren't for someone who knows him, he can't see the clues, and he is really tired.

Miss Li is already a lot older than Li Xu, so she is not shy about speaking: "What is the matter, you might as well say it, and I can help you think of a way together." ”

"It's okay," Li Xu put down the cup and raised his head, the strange emotion between his eyebrows had been swept away, "Eldest sister doesn't have to care, some things haven't been straightened out, it's good to figure it out." ”

Miss Li stared at Li Xu for a moment, her expression was slightly hesitant, but she still spoke: "Looking at the way you are now, maybe you shouldn't mention this matter, it's not a good time......

"What does the eldest sister want to say?" Li Xu's expression was calm, he was not shocked, and his eyes were clear, as if he would not disturb his thoughts because of anything.

Miss Li thought for a while and finally said: "The Kong family came forward to tell you about the family, you have also seen the young lady of this family, that is, the third miss of the Yu family, this time it was the Yu family who asked someone to find the Kong family to say that it is not easy for the woman's family to be like this, and with the Yu family's business in the north, it will definitely be a big help for you in the future."

Miss Yusan's father and brother, are guarding the pass in northern Xinjiang, I heard your brother-in-law say, that is also a young and promising general, Miss Yu San is also deeply favored by the elders at home, quite good at taking care of family affairs, when her father and brother are not at home, the inner house of the Yu family has to help Mrs. Yu take care of it, our family banquet guests have also invited Miss Yu San, Miss Yu San looks soft, although she is not good at dancing with long sleeves, but she just handles it just right.

My aunt and I both thought it was very good, but I didn't know what you were thinking, my aunt asked me to come and talk to you, you don't need to decide immediately, you can think about it first, and when the elders in the family officially ask, you can ......"

"The eldest sister has pushed this family business!" Without waiting for Miss Li to finish speaking, Li Xu spoke.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Miss Li was a little surprised, and said after a while: "You don't like Miss Yusan's temperament?" I didn't expect Li Xu to refuse without thinking, "Tell the eldest sister, what kind of wife do you want?" ”

His wife's room? He hadn't thought about it carefully before, maybe Miss Yu San was already very good, when he was in Northern Xinjiang, he heard the eldest sister mention Miss Yu San, and he didn't sound emotional at the time, but he didn't care much from the bottom of his heart, but now he has an inexplicable rejection and boredom.

tried his best to control it, so he didn't show it in front of the eldest sister.

Maybe the eldest sister is right, now is not the time to say this.

Li Xu said: "Eldest sister, I have already told my father that I want to start a business first and then start a family, there are still so many brothers in the family who have not married, even if I am later, it is normal." ”

"Okay then," Miss Li didn't persuade again, "I will write a letter home and ask the Kong family not to help with this, the two families are always in-laws, and if you really mention it, there will be inconvenience in the future." ”

"Then I'll bother the eldest sister." Li Xu bowed his head and saluted.

"Ninth brother," Miss Li said, "do you have someone you like?" Whose family is it? I am really happy, I can tell my aunt that our family will ask someone to talk about it. ”

When it comes to marriage, Li Xu's reaction is so intense, and after thinking about it, this is probably the reason.

Li Xu paused slightly, and looked at Miss Li again: "If there is really one in the future, I will go and ask the eldest sister for help." ”

"Very well," Miss Li nodded, "I will believe you." ”

After saying this, Miss Li laughed: "I finally met, I will ask someone to cook some food for you to eat, I will leave early tomorrow morning, you are busy in the yamen, you don't have to come to see me off." ”

Li Xu said: "So fast. ”

Miss Li pursed her lips: "No, there is still an urgent matter waiting for me to go over in Anqing Mansion, if it weren't for the fact that I came to see you, I would have arrived today." ”

Li Xu said: "I'm tired of the eldest sister." ”

"The family will be divided when they say kind words," Miss Li said, "Auntie asked me to bring a lot of snacks at home, if I don't give them to you, will I take them to Anqing Mansion?" ”

While he was talking, the housekeeper's mother came and said, "The meal is ready." ”

"Let's go," Miss Li got up, "the food cooked by the cook at home will definitely meet your appetite." ”

After eating, the two sisters and brothers talked for a while, and Li Xu got up to say goodbye.

Li Xu's figure gradually faded away, and Miss Li let people tie up the door.

"It seems that the ninth brother is very difficult to deal with this matter," Miss Li said, "I don't know if it was the woman of that family who made him think about it like this." ”

The housekeeper's mother couldn't help but say, "Didn't the ninth master say no?" ”

"This is the trouble part," Miss Li shook her head, "Obviously there is, but he denied it, which shows that in his heart, he can no longer mention it to outsiders, and he is only afraid of it." ”

"That'...... What is the eldest lady going to do? ”

Miss Li raised her head and looked at the sky: "If you can help, you naturally have to help, and if you can't help, you have to let him die, I think people will never make mistakes, and Jiulang will definitely have a great future in the future, but at the same time, ...... There can't be too many ties, if you want to be a master, where is it easy, everyone wants the best of both worlds, but how can there be so many happy wishes in this world. ”

……

Li Xu walked all the way back to his residence, and the cool breeze at night seemed to freeze his whole body.

I don't know how long I walked, but I finally arrived at the door.

"Master Li, you shouldn't have come back on foot without riding a horse, right?" Chang Yue's voice sounded.

Li Xu looked forward and saw Chang Yue standing not far away.

"I have something to tell you," Chang Yue suddenly lowered his voice, "You must be very concerned, it has something to do with that Miss Xu, and now in this Changzhou City, apart from you and me, there will be no third person who knows." ”
