But in this way, the house is also quiet and comfortable.

Looking for a warm day, Shi Liu asked to prepare a carriage and take Chen Xiaoli to Zhong's house to visit Li Xiang.

Li Xiang's home is in a village on the edge of the town.

It took less than half an hour for the carriage to arrive.

The Zhong family is also a blue brick house in the village.

When the carriage entered the village, it attracted the attention of many villagers.

When they arrived at the door of Zhong's house, the carriage stopped, and Shi Liu and Chen Xiaoli both put on their hats and got out of the carriage.

The two of them each carried a basket, which was covered with a cloth, which blocked the curious eyes of the villagers.

The coachman removed two large cages from the carriage and followed him into the gate of the Zhong family.

Li Xiang was picking vegetables in the yard, and a little boy of three or four years old was playing with a tiger head doll next to her.

Shi Liu lifted the curtain of his hat and shouted, "Mother." ”

"Xiaoqing!" Li Xiang stood up in surprise and wiped her hand on the apron on her waist.

"Quick, come in and sit down."

Then Li Xiang saw the coachman carrying a big box cage in, and said to Shi Liu unhappily: "Come on, why are you so expensive." If only Xue ......"

Shi Liu directly interrupted her: "Mother, let's go into the house and talk." I've brought everything with me, and if you don't want it, I'll lose it. ”

In the Zhong family, Shiliu didn't stay long, and left without even seeing his stepfather.

Li Xiang's youngest son is very fond of this big sister who brought him a lot of novel toys, and he was still reluctant to give up when Shi Liu left.

The people in the village were very suspicious of the two girls who came after a while and left.

After knowing that it was Li Xiang's second daughter who came to see her, she was envious and jealous.

However, Li Xiang is actually very worried about her second daughter, after all, she actually left the Xue family, how will she live in the future?

It's just that her daughter also has a good idea, and she can't worry about it if she wants to.

I could only sigh helplessly.

When the word reached the ears of the Zhong family's married daughter, it was already four days later, and she immediately came to her parents' house.

Li Xiang was not stingy, and directly gave her three clothes.

These styles of material are very novel and valuable to the farmer, after all, the cheapest one costs three or four taels of silver.

can get three bodies, and Li Xiang's stepdaughter will no longer want more.

Li Xiang got two cages, but after so many years and so many years, it was not in vain that he grew older.

I still know the truth of Shengmien's fight against Mimi.

It is better to give it slowly in the future than to hollow it out all at once.

Shi Liu knew that she had grown up, but he was also happy for her.

After all, only when she stands up on her own can she live a good life.

Otherwise, no matter how much they do for her, it won't help.

Jiuwu really flew away and flew to the capital, so Shiliu's life was still very stable.

Time flashed and it was the day of spring.

Shi Liu thought to himself: I don't know if the Ninth Five-Year Plan has flown to the capital. But make sure to catch the exam time. In this way, we can ensure that Xue Xiuming is not on the list.

(^)，

dared to dump her, she naturally had to mess with his future before she was willing.

Of course, maybe he didn't need to make a move, and he himself fell off the list because he was messing with Chen Xuerou day and night and ruining his studies.

But this kind of thing is naturally as safe as possible.

"Second sister, why are you standing in the yard, be careful of the wind." Chen Xiaoli came in from outside and saw Shi Liu standing motionless next to the cypress tree in the courtyard.

Shi Liu smiled: "It's okay, it's going to be spring, where is it so easy to get cold." ”

"It's early spring, it's cold." As she spoke, she stomped her feet and rubbed her hands.

Looking at her appearance, Shi Liu couldn't help but laugh: "What are you going to do, freeze yourself like this." Come inside and get warm. ”

"I didn't go anywhere, I just asked Mrs. Shen to take me to the shop outside."

"Did you buy anything good?"

Chen Xiaoli shook his head: "How can there be so many novelties." That's all it seems. ”

Shi Liu nodded and followed her into the house.

She knew that Xiaoli was just looking for an excuse to go out to the post station to send a letter to Zijuan's cousin.

Of course, her deed has long been removed from the official office and changed gears.

Sometimes Chen Xiaoli also secretly thinks about her father, mother, brothers and sisters,

But this longing was always quickly scared away by their desire to keep her as a concubine.

Because every time I think of them, I think of what they say to her from time to time.

However, she still sent a letter to her biological parents in Xue Mansion to report her safety,

But he didn't tell them the address to reply to the letter, only said that he was okay now, so that they didn't have to worry about Yunyun.

When spring passed and summer came, Chen Jizu came back and brought her a handwritten letter from Li Zaimin.

The two siblings sat on a stone bench in the open garden.

It wasn't until she finished reading the letter that Chen Jizu asked, "What do you think of his proposal?" ”

Shi Liu put down the letter, looked up at him and asked, "It seems that he told you about this, so what do you think?" ”

"What your task is, you know best. It's just that from my past experience, it's really a good way to go. At least it will help you get the job done. ”

Hearing his answer, Shi Liu was silent for a long time and sighed: "If he can overcome all difficulties, carry a sedan chair eight times, and Ming Media is marrying, I will agree." ”

When Chen Jizu heard her request, he couldn't help but smile: "That's how it should be." ”

"You just came back from the capital?"

"Hmm. Before meeting Li Zaimin, I went to see my eldest sister, and her life is much better than yours. ”

Shi Liu raised his eyebrows: "Do you think I'm having a bad time like this?" ”

"Huh...... The task is almost out of reach, and I can't see what's good. Chen Jizu immediately said bluntly.

Speaking of this problem, Shi Liu is actually very depressed, why did Chen Xuerou suddenly come out to stir up the situation?

Chen Jizu said seriously: "Otherwise, you should go to Yongding Mansion first." Li Zaimin Chunfu has passed, and he is a second-class jinshi. Xue Xiuming......"

Speaking of this, he stopped and looked at Shi Liu, and there was still a little disapproval in his eyes.

"He's off the list? Hehe, that's great news. Shi Liu didn't mind the fact that he knew that he had made a move, and asked, "You mean that Li Zaimin will go to Yongding Mansion to take office?" ”

Chen Jizu shook his head: "He should stay in the Hanlin Academy for a year before seeking a foreign position." ”

"Okay, then I'll go." Shi Liu nodded directly.

Whatever his reasons for letting her go over there, the mission is half-dead now anyway, so let's go.

Then he thought of another Chen Xiaoli, and said with a headache: "Xiaoli was willing to follow me out of Xue's Mansion at that time, I will have to leave, and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to take her." ”

"It's convenient for her if she wants. If you don't want to, let her stay here by herself. I'm not bad for her dowry. ”

"Okay, I'll ask her."

Chen Jizu looked at her and thought of himself, the same tasker, the same contradiction.
