Li Mingqi has been living in a manor outside the city, and a new town has been built around her manor.

Some time ago, the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Province followed Xiang Nan to Anton, causing the people gathered around Miss Li to panic, and many people ran back to the city.

But Li Mingqi and many family members still live in the manor, and they are not afraid of the reduction of soldiers and horses, and they also plan to hold a martial arts competition outside the manor, so that these soldiers and horses can show their strength, and many large families are invited to participate, and the victors can be rewarded by Miss Li.

Big families now have a lot of guards, and these guards are the treasures of these people, the kind that are easily not exposed, and the government will not give them to them.

But participating in Miss Li's martial arts competition will have the advantage of attracting them.

"First, you can be familiar with the Li family's soldiers and horses, and your feelings are cultivated in your comings and goings."

A wise old man from a large family told his family.

"Of course, this troubled world is bullshit, but something is better than nothing, in case Taiyuan City is broken in the future, we can escape with the Li family's soldiers and horses."

"Second, the soldiers and horses of the Li family have been trained by Li Feng'an for ten years, and they have killed people in battle and have very few opponents.

"Third, Miss Li's reward is very rich."

The family members were a little embarrassed to hear this, they didn't want to covet these small profits.

"Don't be in vain." The wise old man glared and scolded, "Whose family's family business is saved from small money." ”

The old man was right, the family members nodded one after another, and some children bit their fingers and interjected: "But, can you win?" ”

The children interjected to make the adults angry, and they were thrown out, and the family discussion was over.

There are more than one family in Taiyuan Mansion with wise old people, and many families have responded to Miss Li's call to show their skills outside the manor.

And there is no need for children to worry, Miss Li's reward is not only for the winners, but also for the participants.

The martial arts exercises outside Miss Li's manor twice a month have made this place more lively than before, with galloping military horses, archery skills, spears and swords, dust and passion flying together, attracting officials from Taiyuan Mansion to watch.

After the competition, some people hid the rewards, and many more directly turned them into rice grains and gave porridge on the spot, attracting more displaced people, and the displaced people who survived shouted the names of these good people to express their gratitude.

Every time at this time, Li Mingqi, who was sitting on the high platform outside the manor, would smile, and the rich ladies who were surrounded by him would sigh: "They should be grateful to the eldest lady." ”

Li Mingqi said with a smile: "In troubled times, helping the people unite people's hearts is not something that can be done by one person, and everyone needs to work together." ”

At the end of the second competition of the month, the winner showed his reward, the loser reaped the gratitude of the people, the government was satisfied with the joy and stability of Taiyuan Mansion, Miss Li and the ladies ended the viewing and left the high platform to return to the manor.

They looked at the excitement of the audience, and the excitement of the audience also looked at them.

The stones dug from the mountain are built into a high platform, and a wooden frame is built on the high platform, and in the summer the white veil is hung with flowers, and in the winter the white cotton cloth is hung with various dried flowers, and the ladies dressed brightly and with jewels walk in the middle of it, like a place of gods.

This scene is also the grand scene of Taiyuan Mansion, the people gathered outside the manor are waiting to watch, and there are many literati and ink writers who write poems and paintings to describe, the ladies of Taiyuan Mansion are proud to be able to walk on the high platform, and who can go to the high platform is decided by Miss Li.

"I've never seen this kind of scene in peaceful times."

"The eldest lady of the Li family, whose nickname is Xian'er, is really an immortal."

"The Xiang family is blessed."

Those who left came back secretly, more than before, everyone praised and envied, and the old lady of the Xiang family personally took a car to visit Miss Li.

"For Xiang Nan to send the soldiers and horses, I am actually very worried, the reputation that I have easily accumulated will be ruined, I didn't expect you to think of a new way so quickly." Old lady Xiang felt guilty and relieved, "It's really worthy of being a child of the Li family." ”

He didn't say that it was the eldest lady of the Li family, but that the child of the Li family, Li Mingqi understood the kindness of the old lady Xiang, smiled happily and shyly, how to respond to the praise of the elders, she couldn't be more skilled, and coaxed the old lady Xiang to be happy.

In addition to watching the bimonthly martial arts competition, Li Mingqi also had a feast with the female dependents, rode a horse to hunt, and drove through the city of Taiyuan Mansion by car, so that the people could see her and feel at ease......

"Miss is working too hard." Nian'er said distressedly.

Li Mingqi, who had soaked in a hot bath with dried flowers and changed into a homely dress, her face was flushed, becoming more and more delicate, her fingers poked Nian'er's head, and said, "It's not hard, and it's not like Miss Minghua who sacrificed her life." ”

Nian'er pouted: "It's someone else who sacrificed his life, and it's the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Road, Huainan Road, and Southeast Road, and the fourth master is proud." ”

"Family, my sisters, I'm proud too." Li Mingqi staggered out with a small hand stove.

Miss is smart and broad-minded, Master Li Si, who is an elder, is a small-bellied chicken intestine and short-sighted broken-mouthed woman, Nian'er is proud and contemptuous, straightens her back and follows Li Mingqi to the inner room.

The small round table outside was full of dazzling displays, which used to be used only by her alone, but now there was one more person sitting.

"His Majesty in Linzhou only eats two meals a day, and only uses meat once a day." Master Li Si looked at the food on the table, the small plates and small bowls were not large, but all of them were made of expensive materials, and the soup added to a bowl of three quail eggs did not know how many chickens and ducks were used to make the soup, "Are you so extravagant and wasteful?" ”

Li Mingqi sat down: "What about people?" Why don't you add chopsticks to your uncle? ”

"At this time, it's past the meal, probably thinking that the fourth master has already eaten." Nian'er said without being salty, and then shouted outside, "Add chopsticks to the fourth master." ”

Master Li Si said: "No need, I can't eat it." ”

Nian'er was not polite at all, and waved her hand to the maid who had just walked in with chopsticks, and the maid withdrew.

Li Mingqi didn't give in anymore, and took chopsticks and ate a small plate: "Uncle, Your Majesty's frugality and my extravagance are actually the same. ”

Li Fengjing really admires his niece now: "How can you say anything reasonable?" ”

"Listen to me." Li Mingqi pinched the chopsticks, and his eyes were focused and careful to put vegetables into the small plate, "Your Majesty's thrift is to share the joys and sorrows of the people in the world, and my extravagance is to attract more people to share the joys and sorrows, I have money, everyone believes that we have the ability and strength to protect the safety of everyone with soldiers and horses, and the rebels will also be afraid, just like Mrs. Chu did." ”

Nian'er nodded on the side: "Mrs. Chu Guo is called extravagance, soup porridge, buy rare treasures, everyone is saying now, Miss is the same as Mrs. Chu Guo." ”

Master Li Si seemed to be waiting for this sentence, and said with a smile: "Yes, so Xiang Gongzi stayed in Anton for the sake of Mrs. Chu Guo and did not return." ”

Nian'er was ashamed and wanted to scold: "You! ”

Li Mingqi stopped her, glanced at Fourth Master Li and said angrily: "Fourth Uncle, is this what an elder should say?" Isn't that ruining the reputation of the eldest lady? ”

Master Li Si was choked and sneered: "It's not that I'm corrupt, you are the eldest lady now, but you didn't keep your husband well, if Xian'er was here, it wouldn't be like this." ”

Li Mingqi said: "Fourth uncle, I also want to invite Xiang Gongzi back, but this is not my own person, it is our Li family's business, if you don't help, you have to see jokes." ”

She also hit a rake, and Master Li Si knocked on the table with his fingers: "It's you who don't listen to me, I said that I shouldn't let those soldiers and horses go, if he doesn't have soldiers and horses, what will he do to show off in front of other women?" You can have a snack, that Mrs. Chu is not an ordinary person, she likes beautiful men, even Han Xu, an official of the imperial court, can bow down under the pomegranate skirt, Xiang Nan, a young man who has never seen the world......"

He didn't say a word again, and the next words were not suitable for the elders to say.

"Fourth uncle, what you said I was not happy to eat." Li Mingqi spoke softly and cut with a knife, "You better go back to the barracks first." ”

The scenery of the barracks is occupied by this manor, Li Fengjing didn't plan to leave again when he came today, he was just about to speak, and someone outside the door hurriedly ran in.

"Miss." He shouted, and when he saw Li Fengjing after shouting, he added, "Fourth master, it's not good." ”

"The rebels are coming?" Li Mingqi and Li Fengjing spoke in unison, and people also stood up at the same time.

Nian'er stepped back behind Li Mingqi with a frightened expression.

"No, it's not." The person who came waved his hand, swallowed his saliva, and looked strange, "It's the Xiang family who is getting married." ”

Li Mingqi and Li Fengjing glanced at each other with surprised expressions.

"I haven't heard of it." Li Fengjing said, "Does the Xiang family have a marriage?" ”

The Xiang family doesn't have a branch, and there should be a mess of the sidelines, but .....

"They have to tell Miss about their marriage." Nian'er leaned over and said, "Even if Miss doesn't go, they will be proud of it." ”

Li Mingqi nodded.

"No, not a sideline." The person who came took a breath and said, "I saw that Master Xiang's people went to greet him." ”

Master Xiang Wu relied on Xiang Nan to occupy an important position in the Xiang family, and the younger generations of the side branch got married, but he couldn't be invited.

Li Mingqi's face became solemn.

Someone stumbled in again: "Miss, yes, it's Xiang Nanxiang's son." ”

This is really a big joke, Li Mingqi stood in the hall, laughing for a while.

......

......

"I thought it was a joke." Thinking of this, Li Mingqi wiped his tears, and Pear Blossom looked at the hall with rain, "If you want to get married, you must give me the letter of resignation first, right?" ”

Master Xiang Wu said embarrassedly: "Xian'er, no, it's not a wife, it's a concubine." ”

Li Mingqi said: "Take a concubine? The concubine also wants me to drink a cup of tea, right? You also need to let me know in advance, at least let me have time to change my clothes and meet the new person, right? ”

She stretched out her hand to wipe her tears and shouted for her thoughts.

"Did I wear my makeup? Am I going to disgrace the Xiang family? Wouldn't I be laughed at when I met someone new like this? ”

The people in the hall were even more disturbed by the girl's sarcasm.

"No, eldest lady, it's not a concubine." An old man stood up and said.

"That's a wife." Li Mingqi sat still, "It stands to reason that I should leave immediately and give up my position, but when I go back, I must give my brother an explanation to Jiannan Dao, right?" ”

"It's not for Xiang Nan, it's actually for Xiang Bei." Another old man said.

Li Mingqi looked at them: "Who is it for?" Haven't you discussed it yet? ”

"It's a bit complicated to say." Everyone said in a mess, "Miss, you come in first, and we'll tell you slowly." ”

"You don't need to tell me, I'll tell her."

A crisp voice came from outside.

Everyone in the hall looked over, and Li Mingqi also turned around and saw a woman in a red wedding dress walking at the gate of the courtyard.

The sunlight reflected in the jewels on her head and body shone on her face, and because of the light, her ordinary appearance became a little dazzling.

"I'm married to Xiang Nan's son now, and I can be regarded as a concubine." She said as soon as she took a step, her voice like a bean sprinkled all the way, "When I give birth to a son, and my son is passed on to Xiang Beigongzi, I will follow my son over, and it will have nothing to do with Xiang Nangongzi." ”

Li Mingqi's apricot eyes stared at the round cherry blossoms when he listened, and his lips opened slightly, this, what is this! And also.....

"Who are you?" She asked.

"I am Qi Acheng, and my father is Qi Mountain, the envoy of the Southeast Dao Jiedu." Qi Acheng walked to the foyer, looked at Li Mingqi and smiled, "It's also the Metropolitan Governor, alive." ”

Li Mingqi got up from the stool, and the old men of the Xiang family in the hall took a step back.

The daughter of the real Metropolitan Governor, so fierce.
