Shui Yan watched Lu Feng ride the dust and smoke and couldn't see it, so he shook the folding fan and sighed and returned to Shantao Garden. Uncle is a letter in two days, and it's true, only urging him, why don't you urge the second master to go? The two brothers are still not easy to talk? Shui Yan hadn't figured out the troubles of the envoy yet, and Dongping came over again to convey Su Zicheng's instructions, asking Shui Erye to set off early tomorrow morning and go to the six counties south of Liangdi to check the spring ploughing and persuade the farmers. Shui Yan blinked his eyes for a long time, and suddenly felt that it was not a bad thing to receive this errand, he was a little tired, but the uncle's errand envoy couldn't blame him, right!

In the Taiping Mansion in March, the spring is harmonious, everywhere is full of bright laziness, Li Xiaoqi slept enough, ate, watched the sunset in the distance, changed into an apricot yellow tight-fitting jacket, a primrose yellow embroidered colorful skirt, carefully looked at the soup full of a box of begonias, nodded with satisfaction, light moon and begonia carried the box out of the main courtyard, light moon helped Begonia put the suitcase, Begonia accompanied Li Xiaoqi to get into the car, Xi'an rushed to the car, Nanning and others guarded, as if you were leisurely out of the city gate.

The car got up quickly when it got out of the city, stopped not far from the courtyard of Luoyan, in the dark, Nanning and others carried the suitcase, protected Li Xiaoqi and Haitang, and entered the yard from the corner gate, and walked quietly to the main courtyard where Luoyan lived.

The courtyard was quiet everywhere, Nanning just walked to the main courtyard, the courtyard door opened silently from the inside, Luo Yan looked at Li Xiaoyi, took half a step back, bent his knees, and led Li Xiaoqi along the dark verandah all the way to the main house. Entering the house, Luo Yan closed the door, Begonia looked around with some curiosity, this room is now very richly furnished, Li Xiaoqi also looked at the furnishings in the house, and asked with a smile: "How is that son?" ”

"Eating, drinking, playing, and having fun is useless." Luo Yan replied disdainfully with a pout, Li Xiaoqi raised his eyebrows and smiled for a while and asked, "How about you?" ”

"It's hot and fresh, it's all right, it seems that this freshness can last for three or two months." Luo Yan let Li Xiaoqi sit on the couch, replied nonchalantly, Begonia looked around for warmth, opened the suitcase, took out the cup she brought, poured a cup of tea for Li Xiaoqi first, and then took a cup from the warm wall, poured a cup of tea for Luo Yan and sent it over, Luo Yan hurriedly stood up and took it, and said with a smile: "Why did my sister pour me a cup?" How can this be endured? We are all the girls of the fifth master, this is going to break my blessing! Haitang didn't know how to answer for a while, Li Xiaoqi pulled Luo Yan's sleeve and motioned her to sit back, and said with a smile: "It's nothing to pour a cup of tea between sisters, I have something to tell you." ”

Luo Yan sat down with a smile, Haitang took a small needle and thread from the suitcase, retreated to the armchair at the door of the house and sat on the needlework, Li Xiaoqi looked at Luo Yan and said in a low voice: "I want to borrow you to meet someone tonight, and you will go to rest after a while, okay, I'll leave directly, this is the first, the second thing, take advantage of the freshness of the son, let him help you get out of the Qian family, but, it's not okay to come out like this, I told you about the treasure chest last time, remember?" Luo Yan nodded hurriedly, Li Xiaoqi squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Just follow this way, I want to knock a treasure chest back from the Qian family, and let Qian Fuze get as painful as possible, just the same, get this thing back, you can keep a few things, and the rest is best for Gongzi." ”

"That's not too cheap for him! But let him get both people and money! Luo Yan was indignant, Li Xiaoqi pursed his lips and explained in a low voice with a smile: "I have inquired, his family is very strict with him, especially his aunt, you inquire, he is so gentlemanly, in addition to eating, drinking and having fun, there is no big evil in this Taiping Mansion, it can be seen that the family education is extremely strict, you rely on his power to knock the Qian family's flesh pain, and he took it again, this matter, and you, he will not mention it to others, especially the people in their family, in this way, you will have a lot less trouble here, and it will be more convenient when you turn back." Luo Yan reacted very quickly, and immediately understood what Li Xiaoqi meant: "I know what the fifth master means, I did the bad thing for him, and fed him the benefits, he had to keep it in his heart, but it was not good to talk about it!" The fifth master's method is allowed to be successful, the fifth master doesn't know, he doesn't have a lot of money, lucky to meet me like this, it's not difficult for him to save face everywhere! ”

Li Xiaoqi laughed, the two gossiped for a while, Changchang pushed the door into the house, stood in the main room and coughed lightly, Haitang hurriedly poked his head out, saw Changchang, and hurriedly turned around and reported: "Girl, here." ”

"Call in." Li Xiaoqi instructed Haitang, turned to look at Luo Yan and said with a smile: "You go and rest, when we see a good person, we will leave directly." Luo Yan hurriedly got up and agreed, and didn't look at the door for more than half a look, but hurriedly turned into the room, and went to rest in peace.

Long carrying Shen Pozi in, Begonia hurriedly stepped forward to help put it on the couch, and Xi'an, who followed closely, touched the bag of medicinal powder from his arms and handed it to Begonia, and said in a low voice: "Melt it with warm water and feed it." Haitang took the medicine bag, hurriedly poured half a glass of water out, poured the medicine powder into it, and shook it gently, Li Xiaoqi had already moved over and sat next to Mrs. Shen, stretched out her hand to hold her head, took the cup in Haitang's hand, and fed it little by little. Shen Pozi seemed to burp out of her throat, opened her eyes in a daze, and Chang Yuan and Xi'an saw that Shen Pozi woke up, quietly withdrew from the house in a few steps, and stayed outside.

Haitang poured another half bowl of ginseng soup, Li Xiaoqi held Shen Pozi's head, and said gently: "Grandma, drink ginseng soup, don't be afraid, it's me, Xiaoyi." Mrs. Shen had already drunk a few mouthfuls of soup in a daze, listened to Li Xiaomi's words, opened her mouth blankly, but forgot to drink the soup, Li Xiaomian handed the bowl to Haitang, and helped Mrs. Shen to sit up half-sitting, Mrs. Shen stared at Li Xiaomi, and finally reacted, but she coughed rapidly for a while before she spoke: "Really Xiaomi?" Why are you here? How did you get here? How can you come here •••••• this Taiping Mansion? You don't know? ”

"I know, Grandma, don't worry, say slowly, it's okay, I know everything." Li Xiaoqi stroked Shen Pozi's chest, gave her a breath, and explained with a smile, Shen Pozi took a deep breath and pointed to the bowl in Haitang's hand: "Give me two more sips!" Haitang hurriedly handed it over, Shen Pozi took it, drank it in two sips, smacked her lips, handed the bowl to Haitang, took a deep breath, turned her head carefully, looked Li Xiaoqi up and down, nodded lightly and said: "Look at you like this, life is good!" Your eldest brother is there too? Are they all right? How did you escape? How did you kill so many officers and soldiers? There are your pictures everywhere, I was scared and couldn't sleep for several nights, and when I closed my eyes, I saw you covered in blood•••••• Bah! Shen Pozi said the word 'blood', and was busy babbling to show that it didn't count, Li Xiaoqi laughed: "At that time, it was quite scary, big brother, they escaped from the barracks, and when they met with me in the land temple outside the city, they were chased by officers and soldiers behind, we ran fast, fled into the forest behind the temple, ran all the way, and escaped, and saw the portrait when we arrived in He County, my eldest brother and I didn't know what was going on, and we didn't know who killed the officers and soldiers, and put the account on our heads, and then we had to flee all the way, It was only after escaping to Beiping that it was safe. Li Xiaoqi said very simply the situation after escaping from the Taiping Mansion: "Later, the eldest brother and they found an errand and did a good job, and they took root in Beiping, the eldest brother has already set up a marriage, just wait for the end of the year's filial piety to get married, and the second brother Huai has married his daughter-in-law after the end of this year, and the relationship between Brother Shui and Brother Guizi has not yet been decided, and they are looking around." ”

Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and folded her hands together and chanted the Buddha: "Good people have good rewards!" What about you? How did you get here? Did your eldest brother come? ”

"I didn't come, I'm here to do a business, and I'll rush back to Kaiping Mansion when the business is done in a few days, grandma, please come like this, grandma don't be angry!" Li Xiaoqi accompanied him with a smile, and Mrs. Shen patted Li Xiaoyi's hand and smiled: "What are you angry about?" It's better to see you, to know how you're and how good they are than anything else! ”

"Grandma, will you go to Kaiping Mansion with me to care for the elderly?" Li Xiaoqi asked with a smile, Shen Pozi hesitated and was about to refuse, Li Xiaoqi continued: "Grandma doesn't have any relatives in this Taiping Mansion, the business I came here to do is very big, and there is something in the middle, and I have to ask Grandma for a favor." ”

"Just say it!" Mrs. Shen's answer was simply abnormal, and Li Xiaoqi didn't go around the corner, and said directly: "I know that Grandma originally did it at Prime Minister Lin's house, has Grandma seen Mrs. Xiao?" Mrs. Shen looked at Li Xiaoqi in amazement, and nodded with a little redness in her eyes for a while: "I've seen it, why haven't I seen it, Prime Minister Lin was not so developed at that time, and there were not so many people in the family, so many doors, I have seen it, and I have been dead for more than ten years." ”

"Grandma, Mrs. Xiao is only afraid that she is still alive, so she is cultivating in Qingfeng Nunnery not far from here, I just want to ask Grandma to see if it is Mrs. Xiao."

"Huh?!" Shen Pozi couldn't close her mouth in shock, Li Xiaoqi sighed softly, moved, leaned her head on Shen Pozi's shoulder, and sighed again: "Grandma, let's go and take a look, I really hope it's not Mrs. Xiao." Shen Pozi was stunned and nodded stiffly: "Okay!" I've got to check it out! You don't know, what a nice person Mrs. Shaw is! Good temperament, good heart, never detain people, these years, on her death day, I went to the temple to burn incense for her, she is still alive? How is it still alive? ”

Li Xiaoqi looked at Mrs. Shen, who was so shocked and a little incoherent, gently held her arm, and whispered: "Grandma, don't worry, eat something first, it's too late to rest and go again." ”
