The car went out of the city gate, Li Zongliang sat in the car, Mrs. Fan straightened up slightly from the corner of the carriage, looked at Li Zongliang with a panicked face, Li Zongliang sighed, poured a cup of tea from the warm hole and handed it to Mrs. Fan, and said in a low but gentle voice: "Drink a cup of tea, rest assured." Mrs. Fan's fingers trembled slightly and took the cup, and Li Zongliang said softly: "And rest assured, I will send you to live in the Han Cicada Nunnery outside the city for a while, Xiao Mi has already greeted the owner of the nunnery, and you will cultivate in the nunnery." Mrs. Fan looked at Li Zongliang with a frightened face, her hands trembled so much that the tea in the cup was splashed, Li Zongliang reached out and took the cup, motioned for her to wipe her hands, sighed, and was silent for a long time before whispering: "Xiao Yu said that the master of the nunnery, Qingshen Shitai, is a profound Taoist, you should learn from Shitai, learn Buddhist scriptures, and learn the principles of being a person." Mrs. Fan was speechless in fright, subconsciously clasped her hands in front of her chest, and looked at Li Zongliang with pleading eyes, Li Zongliang lowered his head, poured another cup of tea and handed it to her: "Drink, moisten your throat." ”

Mrs. Fan took the cup with trembling fingers, drank it in one gulp, held the cup tightly and looked at Li Zongliang, Li Zongliang looked at her calmly, and after a long while, she continued: "Are you afraid this time?" Mrs. Fan's lips trembled, tears poured down her face, Li Zongliang sighed with helplessness in pity: "I told you, Mr. told you, you should be on the sidelines." Mrs. Fan raised her hand to cover her face, sobbing silently, Li Zongliang watched her cry silently, and when her crying gradually stopped, she said tiredly: "Don't cry, I have to leave early tomorrow morning to rush back, there is going to be a war, if I •••••• you an ignorant woman, I will keep my duty in the future!" Peace! The aquatic life has a broken hand, and in the past few days, as soon as I close my eyes, I dream that you are buried in a pool of blood. Li Zongliang looked at Mrs. Fan, who was trembling non-stop, paused, and then continued: "It's not that I saved you this time, it's that Xiao Mi didn't plan to be ruthless at all, you are stubborn and stupid, I have to make it clear, in the future, whether you can come out of the nunnery depends only on yourself." Li Zongliang looked at Mrs. Fan, who was looking at him with tears on her face, and continued in a low voice: "There are some words, I will tell you today, our brothers and sisters escaped from Lijia Village, until now, several lives and deaths, far from the ordinary brother and sister affection, Xiao Yu protects a few brothers, my eldest brother has no ability, I can't protect her, but I must not break her heart, if she thinks you can't be her sister-in-law, you can't do it." Li Zongliang's words were emotionless, Mrs. Fan looked at Li Zongliang in disbelief, Li Zongliang met her gaze and asked, "Do you understand this time?" ”

Mrs. Fan nodded mechanically, Li Zongliang leaned back tiredly, closed her eyes and stopped talking, Mrs. Fan looked straight ahead with a dull gaze, stunned like a puppet.

The assassination case, the trial was lively, but the case was closed quickly and silently, Mr. Lin and Zhijing were detained in the dungeon, Su Zicheng ordered to go down, the two asked for pen, ink, paper and inkstone, just send it in, Mr. Lin was overjoyed, but Zhijing was sad and desperate, and couldn't help but write papers, was he afraid that they would commit suicide or go crazy, would they be so immortal in this life?

The seal on the gate of Fan's house was also quietly torn off, and Li Xiaoqi ordered someone to circle the garden of Li's mansion in the past, divided the two mansions into almost the same size, and instructed Zhang Gouzi to go to the Yamen of Kaiping Mansion to re-do the title deed, so that the courtyard was sealed and temporarily immovated.

Come back in the evening, Li Xiaoqi and Wisteria closed the door and carefully calculated the account for a long time, only sighed, she didn't want to be sloppy in Brother Shui's house, but the price of the house was not sloppy, and the 20,000 silver borrowed had already been given to Luo Yan and Zhang Gouzi to do business, and now the daily expenses of the family are huge, a patient, the family welcomes guests every day, and the aquatic family affairs are exquisite, and the gifts have to be given every other day, she never thought that there are so many back and forth gifts to get married! That's a lot! Li Xiaoqi fell on the couch in annoyance, Wisteria looked at her with a sad face, thought about it and suggested: "Girl, or, let's take care of the etiquette we have received for a while, especially those medicinal materials, I and Mama Zhang have looked at them carefully, they are really very good things, this thing, when it grows, it will turn to ashes, I don't know how long it has been collected before this is brought to our house, who knows if it is fresh or not?" It's still good to sell! Li Xiaoqi raised his hand and stroked his forehead, and praised with a smile: "Wisteria, you are getting better and better at talking, let's sell the gifts given by others, not for money, but for fear that the medicine will turn into ashes!" Who knows how long that medicine has been out for a long time!? That's a good thing to say! Sell it, sell it, not only medicine, but also sell other things that can be sold, you discuss this matter with Mama Zhang, you know better than me, and you have to sell things, and you can't lose face! Wisteria blushed and said angrily when Li Xiaoqi said: "The girl understands in her heart, and she has to say it!" ”

Li Xiaoqi laughed enough, got up and came back from bathing and washing, Shen Pozi was standing outside under the eaves porch and gossiping with Mama Lu, seeing Li Xiaoqi coming out, she smiled and lifted the curtain and came in, Li Xiaoqi let Shen Pozi sit, looked at her carefully and smiled: "Haitang said that Grandma is busy doing this and that in the kitchen every day these days, are you in good shape?" I'm tired and sick again. ”

"Okay, it's good morning, I haven't done anything, why are they willing to let me do it? After they got it done, I put it in the pot with my hands, how can I be tired? Mrs. Shen took the tea handed by Qingcheng, took a sip and said with a smile, Li Xiaoqi saw that Mrs. Shen looked good and was in good spirits, and she didn't say anything about it anymore, the two said a few words of gossip, Mrs. Shen drank tea, as if she had something on her mind, Li Xiaoqi looked at her, and retreated Qingcheng and the others smiled: "Grandma has something to say to me?" Mrs. Shen laughed, put down the cup, and sighed at Li Xiaoyi: "You girl, you all say that there are seven tricks of exquisite heart, you have to have nine tricks!" ”

"Well, nine out of ten tricks are clear, and none of them are clear." Li Xiaoqi smiled and continued, Shen Pozi laughed, the two laughed for a while, Shen Pozi moved to Li Xiaomi's side, sighed and said, "I heard what they said about the Fan family." Li Xiaoqi looked at her, waiting for her to say, Shen Pozi shook her head and smiled: "In the past, when Mrs. Xiao was alive, she once said that this person is studying and doing learning, either he simply knows how to read, or this knowledge has to be deep, and he is most afraid of those who seem to be able to understand and don't understand. Li Xiaoqi laughed and nodded again and again: "You are very right." Mrs. Shen dusted off her clothes and said with a smile: "I haven't seen Mrs. Fan, your eldest brother is a sincere person, this person is your eldest brother's favorite?" ”

"Hmm." Li Xiaoqi nodded in response, Shen Pozi looked at Li Xiaoyi, leaned her head forward and said with a smile: "Grandma told you, Grandma can see it clearly, your elder brothers, the most understanding and thoughtful, is your second brother, and your fourth brother, your eldest brother is true and sincere, and your third brother is a disobedient, this is his blessing." Li Xiaoqi exhaled and nodded helplessly, Shen Pozi patted Li Xiaoyi's hand and said in a low voice: "Ago, our house sent a gift to the Shui family, I went over to see it, the seven ladies of the Shui family are generous and clear, this is good, and the aquatic life is worthy of her." Li Xiaoqi smiled and muttered: "I know what Grandma means, if it is the eldest brother, this family business is not suitable." Mrs. Shen smiled, didn't say yes or no, and only followed her words and continued: "I heard that you sent Mrs. Fan to the nunnery to copy scriptures and cultivate your mind?" ”

"Hmm."

"That's good! Accumulate more blessings, I am such a thought, or, I will go to the nunnery to accompany her, first, although it is a nunnery, it is not good to live alone, second, I also talk to her, although grandma said that she has not studied, do not understand those Dali, but I have lived a handful of years, seen more, and experienced more. Mrs. Shen said gently, Li Xiaoqi looked up at her, was silent for a moment, and asked directly, "Mama Zhang persuaded you to go?" ”

"That's not it, Mama Zhang is a shrewd person, how can she persuade me to do this? No one persuaded me, it was my own thought. Mrs. Shen hurriedly waved her hand and explained, Li Xiaoqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thought about it and said: "Grandma, you go to accompany her, that's her blessing, I can't ask for it, but the life of Hancia Nunnery is very hard, and Master Qingshen is too temperamental and strict, you are old, how can you stand it?" This will not work! ”

"It's okay, you haven't suffered as a grandmother? Grandma has suffered a lot, this is nothing, Grandma also happened to want to cultivate blessings in the nunnery, and cultivate a great fortune for the next life! Shen Pozi smiled, Li Xiaoqi looked at Shen Pozi, slowly turned her mind, and was silent for a long time before she spoke: "Since Grandma has made up her mind, I think so, Grandma's age, can no longer go to suffer from the cold cicada hermitage, Grandma don't live in the nunnery, it is a rented yard on the edge of the nunnery, I asked Mama Zhang to find two proper mothers-in-law to take care of you, you go over and talk to her sooner or later, anyway, she usually has to do a lot of homework and labor, and the time to sit down and talk is limited, she doesn't know you, she doesn't ask, and you don't mention the origin." ”

"That's done." Mrs. Shen thought about it for a while, and readily agreed: "Since I said so, this matter can be done as soon as possible, you are busy with you, I will go to Mama Zhang to discuss, find a good yard, and move over in the next two days." Mrs. Shen stood up as she spoke, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly followed her and got off the bed, sent her out of the half-acre garden all the way, stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched her go away, looked up at the stars in the sky for a while, and then kicked in.
