Mingtao Villa outside Hangzhou, early the next morning, Ming Shaoping went to the villa to ask for a meeting, the Empress Dowager Jin sent people to ask questions and give tea as usual, but they didn't meet, King Qin sent a small servant to the academy to take leave, which is a common practice.

Ming Shaoping kowtowed outside the door of the villa, and when he returned to the post house, Li Wenlin hurriedly dragged his bloody legs and went to Wansong Academy to find his cousin Li Wenshan.

Li Wenshan was not in the academy, the old man who answered looked impatient, if he was not there, he was not there, how did he know why he was not there? Without waiting for Li Wenlin to ask again, he slammed the door shut.

Li Wenlin held back his anger for a while, and hurriedly sent someone to report to Ming Shaoping, who was waiting in Deyue Tower, and Ming Shaoping hurriedly sent someone to find Zheng Caosi and Mr. Qin to inquire where Li Wenshan was.

Mr. Qin was not in Hangzhou City, and Zheng Caosi got a letter from somewhere, saying that Li Wenshan did not follow the prince back to Hangzhou City yesterday, and he was still at home in Hengshan County at this time.

Ming Shaoping hurriedly asked Li Wenlin to go to Hengshan County and bring Li Wenshan over.

Li Wenlin gritted his teeth and got on the horse, and halfway through the run, he met Mr. Qin, who was going to Hangzhou City leisurely, and heard that Li Wenshan was not in Hengshan County, so he got off the horse and got into Mr. Qin's car, and Hengshan County did not need to go, and went directly to Hangzhou City to turn back.

It's almost noon for this toss.

After Mr. Qin learned from Li Wenlin's mouth in a few words that yesterday's hundreds of miles of empty running came and went, he knew everything he should know, and immediately understood that Li Wenshan was dodging, this evasion, I am afraid that it is still the meaning of the prince.

Mr. Qin had a bottom in his heart, accompanied Li Wenlin to eat a sumptuous meal in Lin'an City, which is only available in Lin'an, and found a bone-setting doctor in Lin'an City, smeared Li Wenlin's two grinding thighs with ointment, and then got into the car, and slowly entered Hangzhou City all the way, and it was already dark.

Ming Shaoping waited almost all day in Deyue Tower, sending people to Hengshan County one by one, Hangzhou to Hengshan County, back and forth, the best horse, the fastest two hours, the first trip did not find anyone, the second trip did not find, but the second trip just came back, Li Wenlin also arrived.

Ming Shaoping was covered in the smell of medicine, there were no clothes on his legs, only a thin quilt, a painful death and a bitter general-like Li Wenlin, his head was dizzy one after another.

Early the next morning, they had to leave for Mingzhou, and his schedule was limited.

………………

Mr. Qin sat on a common paulownia cart and watched Ming Shaoping's motorvoy leave the east gate of Hangzhou, and the horses trotted all the way away before ordering to go back.

Back in the rented courtyard, Mr. Qin sat under the porch, looked at the ginkgo leaves that had fallen on the ground, and after a while, he called Ji Da in and ordered: "You immediately go to Jiangning Mansion, meet the eldest master, and tell the eldest master that the fifth master returned to Hangzhou City yesterday afternoon, and accompanied the prince to Hengshan County, and he came back late yesterday, and he didn't go to the academy today." The third master went to the academy and didn't find him, and then he was in Hengshan County, and he met me on the way to Hengshan County, and when they returned to Hangzhou City together, it was very late, and early this morning, the third master had already set off for Mingzhou with the young master Ming. ”

Ji Da listened attentively, repeated it again, saw that Mr. Qin nodded, lowered his hand and retreated, came out to lead the horse, and went to Jiangning Mansion.

………………

Li Caosi sent Ji Da down to rest, and sat on the top, his face a little cold.

After sitting for a while, Li Caosi got up and entered the back office, Mrs. Yan saw that his face was wrong, so she hurriedly sent away the girls, personally made tea and handed it to Li Caosi, looked at his face and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Mr. Qin sent Ji Da over just now...... Li Caosi drank half a cup of tea, relieved his breath, and said what Ji Da brought over, his expression was gloomy, revealing a trace of annoyance and loss, as well as other indescribable tastes, "Qin Qing and I have known each other for more than 20 years, and I actually ......"

Li Caosi let out a long sigh, Mrs. Yan was stunned for a moment, and asked a little uncertainly, "What did the master say?" Mr. Qin? ”

"Well, Qin Qing has already voted for the fifth brother." The gloom on Li Caosi's face was even thicker.

Mrs. Yan couldn't believe it, stood there for a while, sat sideways next to Li Caosi, just about to speak, saw that the cup in Li Caosi's hand was empty, hurriedly got up and made a cup of tea for him, and sat down again, her heart had already turned a few more times than just now, "Master, I think this is a good thing, first of all, you are not wrong Fifth brother, our Li family, the next generation will definitely be able to come out of the blue, this is a good thing." ”

"That's what you said." Li Caosi wanted to laugh, but sighed. It would have been nice if it had been his own child.

Mrs. Yan also felt very sour in her heart for a while, and said with a forced smile: "Second, Mr. Qin and the master have known and intersected for so many years, what kind of person Mr. Qin is, the master is clear, what kind of person the master is, Mr. Qin also knows that with him by the side of the fifth brother, he is always much better than others." ”

Li Caosi didn't speak, and sighed slowly.

"Don't tell the truth, when I think of the next generation of the Li family, the most outstanding one, was not born by us, I ...... It's sour, I'm not like the master, I'm a little worse in my heart, but sour is sour, Dali'er I know, from our eldest brother to the fifth brother and the sixth brother, they are all brothers who can't be kissed anymore, and they are all a family. ”

Mrs. Yan continued, and Li Caosi sighed again, "Human nature, I am also sour, alas." It's not because of this, it's because of Qin Qing...... Forget it, I don't want to think about it, when Qin Qing asked me to pick someone for the fifth brother, I let it go, saying that those people will be the fifth brother's people in the future, let me want to open some, I thought at the time, how could I not think about it? Can I not think about it? It's really on the head...... Alas! I didn't expect Qin Qing ......"

Li Caosi sighed one after another, and Mrs. Yan looked at Li Caosi and sighed.

"Don't worry, I'm just talking to you about these words, evacuating, evacuating, and I'll be able to talk to you about these celebrations. I can think about it, Qin Qing took the initiative to go...... I know, this is all inevitable, if this person is sent out, or my person, the fifth brother can't accept it, that's not good, don't worry, I can think about it, it's a little ...... Alas. ”

"If you think about it again, you're still sad." Mrs. Yan answered.

Li Caosi wanted to laugh, but sighed again halfway through the laugh, and patted Mrs. Yan's hand, "You and I are husband and wife, this is the same heart...... Okay, I'm not sad, don't be sour, who let us not give birth to a good son. ”
