Wei Shuisheng changed his clothes and came out, went to the second gate with Li Xiaoyi, and rode away with Nanning, Li Xiaoqi breathed a long sigh of relief, and walked to Mr. Fan's yard with a smile. Brother Shui can worship under the Marquis of Jingjiang, such a good thing is difficult to find with a lantern!

Li Xiaoqi sat on the kang in Mr. Fan's house again, poured two cups of tea and drank it, breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said just now: "Just now Nanning came to pass on the words of the prince, and there are changes, Mr. Liang is also going to follow to Liangdi, and the prince has also found Mr. Jingjiang Hou to study articles for Brother Shuisheng, and at this time Brother Shui has followed Nanning to Liang Wangfu, and today I will go to Jingjiang Hou's Mansion with the prince to apprentice." Mr. Fan's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "This is a wonderful thing!" You don't know, this is an official, the most particular about the birth of the teacher, the first class does not talk about it, on the champion, Tanhua and the three of the list, this is a rare and extremely honorable, very people can bear it, the second and third top two on the list, it is much worse! Mr. Fan said with a lot of emotion: "Alas! As soon as the yellow list came out, this background was nailed to the body, and it can't be changed anymore, even if you become a prime minister in the future, the same Jinshi is still the same Jinshi, this background is still looked down upon, and naturally the same Jinshi can't do the prime minister's job. ”

Li Xiaoqi looked at Mr. Fan, who was suddenly emotional, raised his eyebrows, and asked slowly, "How many grades did Mr. take the exam back then?" Mr. Fan suffocated in his throat in one breath, and only after a while did he say in a muffled voice: "The top three first." Li Xiaoqi let out a long 'oh', Mr. Fan slapped the kang table heavily, and said hatefully: "This is speaking of the teacher again, I have studied hard since I was a child, and I think I was also born in Xie Yuan back then, but I came out of the poor countryside all the way, how can I have the opportunity to worship under those famous scholars?" Born in the same jinshi, he lost his teacher and had no support, and he was an official for more than ten years, and he was miserable! Alas! Mr. Fan sighed depressedly and abnormally, Li Xiaoqi looked at him silently, Mr. Fan sighed a few times, sighed a little sullenly, waved his hand and said: "Don't mention this, how can you talk about aquatic things, it's here?" There are a lot of old sayings! Aquatic kung fu is good, martial arts is presided over by the Ministry of War, it was originally seventy percent to look at kung fu, three percent to read articles, aquatic now worship under the water family, this subject, a first class dare not say, a second class is stable, this is a good thing! Meddlesome! Shui Sheng was moved, and their brothers were really stable in the army in the future. Li Xiaoqi nodded his head to express his approval, Mr. Fan breathed a long sigh of relief, leaned back more comfortably, looked at Li Xiaoqi who was smiling, and suddenly asked: "Aquatic has been lifted, what are you going to do next?" ”

"Find a good family for Brother Shui again, you also said that Brother Shui Sheng is talented, and it is not a matter of time before he makes a contribution." Li Xiaoqi smiled and said: "As for the eldest brother, I plan to not let Brother Shui and the eldest brother be separated for a while, the brothers take care of each other, earn some credit and come back and then plan separately, this is also what Brother Shui meant, but I haven't discussed it with the eldest brother yet." Mr. Fan looked at Li Xiaoqi with complicated eyes, and only after a while did he whisper to himself: "You are a high-spirited person, and your heart is easy to hurt." Li Xiaoqi tilted his head to look at Mr. Fan, and was silent for a long time before he replied in a low voice: "Mr. also knows that when our brothers and sisters were in Lijia Village, they didn't even have any plans to leave home, but they asked for peace and warmth, but the village was slaughtered, my father, mother and two brothers died tragically, and only five of my brother and I escaped from the village. But the war between the north and south of Wu State, the brothers were trapped, and they had to flee to Zhengcheng to fall into the grass, even to be a Kou is also the meat on the chopping board of officers and soldiers, and the leader of Sun Da in Dongshan was cleaned up by Yuan Dashuai's training, my brother and I, as well as Sister Zhang, they can survive safely, how difficult it is Mr. I also know. Li Xiaoqi paused, although she intervened in the matter of Leader Sun's affairs•••••• but this matter is Yuan Dashuai's coveted wealth in Dongshan, but it is only a matter of time.

Li Xiaoqi hung his head and was silent for a moment, and then said: "That's Mr., now that you have arrived in this Kaiping Mansion, aren't you also forced to be helpless?" Mr. resigned and returned to his hometown at that time, but he just wanted to live a peaceful life, but this peaceful day is a luxury in this troubled world, what can be done in such a troubled world? Either squeeze up desperately and squeeze to a place where it is not easy to be fished, or •••••• maybe you will become a fish in someone else's bowl as soon as you open your eyes! Li Xiaoyi's voice gradually lowered, Mr. Fan's fingers trembled and put down the cup, the corners of his eyes twitched a few times, and only after a while did he sigh, his wife and children made fish!

"If it weren't for this, if it was in the prosperous era of peace and Qingming, I would rather do business, earn a lot of money, do good deeds, earn a charitable reputation, and maybe earn the archway of a good house, and enjoy and leisure, and be a good person, why do you want to spend all day thinking about blood on your hands?" Li Xiaoqi continued in a low voice, and Mr. Fan waved his hand sadly: "Don't mention this, don't mention this!" Man is a sword, I am a fish! What is the way to •••••• in this troubled world •••••• troubled times? Don't mention this! ”

Li Xiaoqi poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Mr. Fan, Mr. Fan took the tea and drank it all, sighed as if he had vomited all the stuffiness in his chest, and the two lines of tears rolled down all the way, and only after a while did he wave his hand and said in a choked voice: "Old!" You see that my •••••• is not promising, I just want to •••••• the past, don't talk about it, I don't want to think about it! When are you leaving? ”

"Tomorrow night." Li Xiaoqi turned around and found a handkerchief and handed it to Mr. Fan, Mr. Fan took the handkerchief, pressed the corners of his eyes hard, and took a deep breath for a while, and his tone gradually calmed down: "Why are you in such a hurry?" ”

"It's not in a hurry, anyway, I have to leave sooner or later, go early and return early, the family affairs of Brother Erhuai and Tiemu, as well as the family affairs of Jiang Shuncai and Mingwan, Mr. will help preside over the host when he arrives, I will let Mama Zhang and Mama Lu take care of the trivial matters at home, there are Zhang Gouzi and Zhao Liushun outside, and Mr. will help him get an idea on a major matter." Li Xiaoqi quietly changed the topic, Mr. Fan took a deep breath again, nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, you won't come back?" ”

"If you don't come back, it will take a month or two to come and go, and it won't be half a year in total, forget it." Li Xiaoqi replied with a smile: "Hurry up and take advantage of this time to have something, work hard, earn some credit, I can't be a lifelong staff member in Liang Wangfu, and when we all stand firm, I will retreat and concentrate on doing business to make money. Mr. Fan smiled, shook his head lightly and said: "Don't plan too well, if you can earn credit, you are a person who is of great use, and a person who is of great use has to withdraw and regress, but it is not so convenient!" The Su brothers are not easy to get along with! ”

"I know, do you want to be with the tiger, but the Su brothers are still gentlemen among politicians, and there is room for negotiation." Li Xiaoqi replied with a smile, Mr. Fan raised his eyebrows, thought about it, and nodded approvingly: "What you said is that there is no perfect way to do anything, be careful in everything, don't be too sharp, if you have plans to retreat, you must leave a line in everything, and!" Mr. Fan looked at Li Xiaoyi, and when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly stopped again, looked at Li Xiaoqi for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Alas! It stands to reason that it is inappropriate to say this directly to you, but •••••• you are not an ordinary woman, Xiaoyi, you are like this now, it will be extremely difficult to marry in the future, I don't think King Liang has the intention of accepting you into the mansion, you have to have a plan in advance, if you plan to enter the mansion••••••"

"I won't be a concubine, and I won't enter the Liang Palace!" Li Xiaoqi replied categorically, Mr. Fan sighed lightly, nodded and said: "I know that you are high-spirited•••••• if you don't enter the mansion, you must leave a way back in everything, it seems that you have also thought about this, I won't say more, you are a successful one." ”

"Thank you, sir." Li Xiaoqi hung his head, crossed his fingers across the rim of the cup, and thanked him in a low voice, Mr. Fan looked at Li Xiaoyi, picked up the teapot to help Li Xiaoyi's cup refill the tea, and poured himself another cup, the two drank a cup of tea silently, Li Xiaoqi stood up and said goodbye: "I'll go back first, even if I resign from my husband today, I won't come tomorrow." Mr. Fan straightened up slightly, nodded with a smile, and watched Li Xiaoqi put on his cloak and go out, only after a while did he sigh heavily, leaned back on the pillow, and looked up at the painting beam.

Li Xiaoqi wrapped his cloak tightly and returned to the half-acre garden, washed up, took the red date tea handed by Haitang and instructed while drinking: "Call Mama Zhang and Mama Lu in." Haitang agreed, after a while, Mama Zhang and Mama Lu came in, Li Xiaoqi retreated from the girls, looked at the two and said with a smile: "I will leave tomorrow night to go to Liangdi with the prince, and it will take half a year to come back, and I am going to bring two girls over, you see, who is appropriate?" ”

Mama Lu turned her head to look at Mama Zhang, Mama Zhang glanced at Mama Lu, thought about it carefully and suggested: "The fifth master is going to Liangdi, but I'm afraid that there will be something unpleasant in the food, why don't you bring begonias?" Li Xiaoqi looked at Mama Lu, and Mama Lu hurriedly agreed: "I think so too, the other, it's better to take the light moon, the fifth master goes out with the prince, it must be a confidential matter, the light moon is less tight-mouthed, this is one, second, the light moon has a good needle and thread, and the heart is fine." ”

"Well, that's right, it just so happens that Wisteria stays to take care of this yard." Mama Zhang agreed, Li Xiaoqi smiled and nodded: "Okay, then that's it, call Wisteria and Danyue to come in, after I leave, the big and small things in the family will trouble the two grandmothers, and there are a few family affairs, please also ask the two grandmothers to bother more." Mama Zhang and Mama Lu hurriedly bent their knees and said that they didn't dare, and when they saw that Li Xiaoqi had nothing else to explain, they quit and called Wisteria and the other four to go in.
