After Li Siye said this, he felt Uncle Jiang smile.

"How?" Li Siye said.

"Brother Li," Uncle Jiang said, "We have known each other for so many years, and we didn't know that you were so pedantic, before the Empress Dowager married the emperor, the ancestor of the Zhang family was just a nobleman." ”

After saying this, Uncle Jiang suddenly became meaningful: "Could it be that your Li family has to have a nobleman, so you dare to think about this, after what happened last night, I understand it, what's the use of being cautious?" I don't know when disaster will strike, and those people have no scruples about attacking me, not because I'm a nobody......"

Li Siye originally had some doubts in his heart, feeling that Uncle Jiang was a little different from the past, but now he understands that Uncle Jiang was in a mood because of last night's events.

As soon as Li Siye thought of this, he only heard the little guy next to him come and say, "The ninth master is here." ”

"Ninth brother." Li Siye walked out quickly.

When the two brothers met, Li Siye immediately stretched out his hand and hugged Li Xu's shoulder and patted it, and the two brothers looked very enthusiastic.

Li Xu smiled slightly: "After the fourth brother came to Beijing, I was busy in the yamen and couldn't come back, so our brothers have a good talk tonight." ”

Fourth Master Li nodded: "The ninth brother has lost a lot, is it because the yamen is too busy?" When I came to Beijing to listen to my mother mention King Jian's rebellion, I knew how dangerous it was, but fortunately, my mother and you were safe and sound, but ......" Li Siye remembered that the clan sister did not continue.

Among the brothers, he is the closest to the ninth brother, although he is not as smart as the ninth brother, but he knows the benefits of reading more, so he often asks the ninth brother for some knowledge, and the ninth brother can always patiently tell him, and he is not afraid that he is too slow in this regard.

Uncle Jiang also stepped forward to greet Li Xu.

The three of them went into the house together to talk.

Uncle Jiang knew why Li Xu came, so he told Li Xu what he said to Lord Huang of Shuntian Mansion.

Li Xu listened to Uncle Jiang mention the Song family: "Xu ...... Did Grandma Song ask you anything? "She is now married to Song Chengxuan, and she is no longer Miss Xu.

The court also gave her a title, and she would follow Song Chengxuan to Changzhou to take office in the near future.

Although a long time has passed, Li Xu's heart should have been calm for a long time, but every time he mentions something about her, he is still inevitably touched.

Her life is very comfortable, she has everything she wants, and after returning to Changzhou, the southeast is their world, and when they come to Beijing again, how can they be subservient to others.

The emperor didn't know that after punishing King Jian, the southeast left one of the biggest disasters, and when Song Chengxuan was strong and strong, he would inevitably return to Beijing as the king of Wei to take revenge.

"Grandma Song asked me if the person sent to keep an eye on General Han had returned."

Uncle Jiang's voice interrupted Li Xu's thoughts.

Li Xu raised his head, there was no wave in his eyes, Xu Qinghuan would ask this, he was confirming the identity of those who assassinated Uncle Jiang last night.

Li Siye said: "It must be the Han Shen general, and the eldest sister is also Han Shen Jiang, otherwise he would not have killed Uncle Jiang." That's the best explanation.

Li Xu did not continue with Li Siye's words, but looked at Uncle Jiang indifferently: "Uncle Jiang knows the Jiao family in Shanxi?" ”

Uncle Jiang thought for a moment, and quickly shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Li Xu said: "He is also a merchant who transports grain in exchange for salt. ”

Uncle Jiang and Fourth Master Li looked at each other, their eyes facing each other, and both of them were at a loss, obviously not knowing anything about it.

Uncle Jiang said: "Is there anything wrong with that Jiao family?" ”

Li Xu didn't talk much: "Since you don't know each other, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

After speaking, Li Xu stood up and prepared to leave.

"Li Jiuye," Uncle Jiang stopped Li Xu, "have you heard that Nan Zhili will reduce salt introduction?" Don't have so much food for the Northern Frontier Guard? ”

Li Xu looked at Uncle Jiang with clear eyes: "Where did you get this news from?" ”

Uncle Jiang pursed his lips: "I wanted to ask the uncle of the Song family today, although my family has a marriage contract with the third room of the Song clan, but it is the first time that the uncle of the Song family's room is unfamiliar, so he didn't speak."

This year, whether it is the government or the local health office, the merchants are not allowed to transport grain out, and the grain was collected by the imperial court last year, and according to the annual practice, it should have gone north a long time ago.

If Nanzhili can't change the salt in the future, the fourth master and I will have to find another trade route. ”

Nan Zhili refused to release grain.

Li Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, Uncle Jiang deliberately revealed the situation of Nan Zhili to him, and he refused to release grain because he had other thoughts.

Song Chengxuan left the grain in Nanzhili, apparently to use it to raise soldiers.

Li Xu stood up: "The imperial court did not order the reduction of the armaments of Northern Xinjiang, so there is no need to believe those rumors." ”

Uncle Jiang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine." ”

Li Xu looked at Li Siye: "Father and mother will go back to Taiyuan tomorrow, and you should go back early." ”

After speaking, Li Xu left the Jiang family.

When he was a little farther away from the courtyard of the Jiang family, the yacha stepped forward and announced: "My lord, there is news from the Shuntian Mansion that General Han is already being pursued everywhere. ”

Li Xu nodded to indicate that he already knew.

Xu Qinghuan and Song Chengxuan believe that the murderer is General Han Shen?

Li Xu suddenly reined in his horse and turned his head to look at the Jiang family's courtyard, Xu Qinghuan had always thought it through, how could she easily come to a conclusion? Today, the uncle of the Jiang family deliberately mentioned the situation between the north and the south in front of him, obviously deliberately mentioning him not to meddle in the matter in front of him.

Why?

The answer seems to be on the horizon.

Li Xu tightened his fingers slightly.

……

The small courtyard of the Li family.

When Li Xu entered the door, he saw Mrs. Li busy.

Mrs. Li took people to pack up the cages, and she had to put all the belongings with her own hands.

Li Xu stepped forward to persuade: "Mother should rest more." ”

"It's okay," Mrs. Li said with a smile, "and it's almost done." ”

The housekeeper's mother immediately said: "The eldest lady is not worried about handing over these to us to clean up, especially the items of the ninth master...... Even the utensils in the study were brushed by the eldest lady herself. ”

"Xu'er loves those," Mrs. Li's eyebrows were full of loving expressions, "I remember that Xu'er liked Duanyan and Lao Mo when she was a child, but he refused to say that once I saw a piece of Duanyan from the ancestor of the Li family, and I tried every means to come, and Xu'er still uses it." ”

Li Xu helped Mrs. Li to sit on the big kang near the window.

Mrs. Li continued: "Later, Master Xuezheng gave Xu'er a piece of inkstone, which is much better than the one handed down by the Li family, I asked Xu'er to change it, but Xu'er refused, only saying that what was passed down from the ancestors should be cherished. ”

After Mrs. Li finished speaking, she raised her bright eyes and looked at Li Xu carefully: "Xu'er is right, how can the family business passed down from the ancestors be lost, the elders have treasured it for many years and used so much effort......

Future generations should go on well, so that they can feel at ease. ”

Mrs. Li's eyes were slightly red as she spoke, but she smiled to cover the past, and looked at Li Xu again: "My Xu'er has had great ambitions since she was a child, and my mother believes that so many years of hard work will not be in vain. ”
