Li Xiaoyi's fingers lightly tapped on the armrest of the chair, obliquely tilting Huang Yuanshan, as if he was hesitating in his heart, Huang Yuanshan's heart sprouted a trace of hope, gradually, that hope sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, like a river bursting its embankment, Huang Yuanshan was on the ground, kowtowing desperately, and his forehead was dripping with blood.

"Put a dress on him." Li Xiaoqi smiled and looked at Huang Yuanshan, who was knocking on his bloody face, and ordered, Nanning picked up a robe and threw it on Huang Yuanshan, Huang Yuanshan cried excitedly and wrapped in a robe, his hands trembled and his eyes were dazzled, and he couldn't find where the collar and sleeves were for a long time, Li Xiaoqi was not in a hurry, he picked a preserved peach from the box held by Haitang and bit it slowly, and looked at Huang Yuanshan finally put on his clothes, and then said lightly: "Sister Liu also gave birth to a son for you?" ”

"Yes, Aunt Hui, yes." Huang Yuanshan hurriedly replied, Li Xiaoqi looked at him with the corners of his eyes, the corners of his mouth turned down, and he said to himself with a hint of regret: "Count yourself lucky, if you don't have this child, just find a good family for Sister Liu." Huang Yuanshan shuddered, shrank down, and didn't dare to answer, Li Xiaoqi stared at Huang Yuanshan thoughtfully, Huang Yuanshan was stared at by her and was terrified, his upper teeth kept knocking his lower teeth, and he trembled and said: "The little •••••• is for the daughter-in-law•••••• son, aunt, and grandmother, beg your aunt and grandmother to ••••••."

"What do you ask me to do with your daughter-in-law and son?" Li Xiaoqi sighed, as if giving up the idea just now, and said in annoyance, Huang Yuanshan kept kowtowing, Li Xiaoqi stood up, turned around a few times with his hands behind his back, looked at Huang Yuanshan and asked, "You haven't been home for a few days?" What does your daughter-in-law and son eat? What about half a year's worth of food at home? Huang Yuanshan trembled and didn't dare to answer, what did his daughter-in-law and son eat, how did he know, for most of the month, he couldn't even support himself, Li Xiaoqi snorted coldly and said: "If you die, Sister Liu will remarry with the child, and Xu will have a better life." Huang Yuanshan was distracted for a while, Li Xiaoqi sighed again, and then said: "Forget it, Sister Liu is also a stupid person, drag a child again, forget it, okay, my aunt and grandmother are good people to the end, and then I will find a way for you to make money, I heard that you specialize in selling those things that come from unknown sources?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Huang Yuanshan hurriedly replied,

"Well, listen, my aunt is doing a small business now, just to collect some things from the palace to give away, no matter what, of course, the more precious the better, my aunt has silver, but there is too little place to spend money, give you three days, if you can find a piece and a half, even if you are still a little useful, your aunt will leave you, and in the future, you will do the work of collecting things for your aunt and grandmother, if you can't find it, alas! Then I had to find another home for Sister Liu to remarry. ”

"Auntie and grandma rest assured! You'll find it! Small acquaintance with several palace attendants, small acquaintance! My aunt and grandmother are the little reborn parents, and they are ••••••"

"Phew!" Li Xiaoqi took a heavy 'bah' and interrupted Huang Yuanshan's words: "Don't spoil my aunt and grandmother!" Just like you, be your parents and be embarrassed to the sky! ”

Huang Yuanshan shrank his neck and didn't dare to make a sound, this aunt was ruthless and moody, Li Xiaoqi exhaled and said hatefully: "You are a scumbag, if it weren't for Sister Liu•••••• hum!" Li Xiaoqi sat back on the chair, took the tea and drank two sips, looked at Huang Yuanshan and asked in a gloomy voice: "You are such a smart person, tell me, what does your aunt do for a living?" Huang Yuanshan kowtowed, he didn't dare not answer, but he didn't dare to answer, Li Xiaoqi smiled lightly: "Sure enough, he is a smart person, he knows what his aunt and grandmother do, then you yourself know what to say and what not to say." Saying that, Li Xiaoqi threw a small piece of silver to Huang Yuanshan and instructed: "This is for you to raise your daughter-in-law and son, and your aunt and grandmother will give you this chance, you can do it yourself!" Huang Yuanshan swallowed his saliva, his fingers trembled so much that he could barely hold the small piece of silver, and nodded like a kowtow worm and asked: "Auntie, if you have a •••••• and a letter, how can you find the little •••••• ••••••?"

"You don't need to look for it, someone will naturally look for you!" Li Xiaoqi said, while standing up, Begonia waited for her to wear a hat, Li Xiaoqi walked out of the yard without looking back, Huang Yuanshan blinked his eyes and didn't react, and was put into a black cloth bag and thrown into the car, I don't know how long it took to turn around, how many miles it walked, before it was poured out of the bag and kicked out. Huang Yuanshan got up with his hands and feet, turned his head left and right, recognized that this was not far from the back door of Fengle Building, staggered two steps to the wall next to him, closed his eyes and let out a sigh, opened his eyes and looked at the broken silver in his hand, raised his hand to try to take a bite to see if it hurt, and saw at a glance that the skin that had been brushed off was still a red hand, his nose was sore, no need to bite, this nightmare is real.

Huang Yuanshan looked at the silver in his palm blankly, and gradually felt that his stomach was burning like a convulsion, he was poured with I don't know how much ginger vinegar, Huang Yuanshan came up with a burst of nausea, bent over, his fingers picked at the crack in the wall, and vomited wildly in the dark. Vomiting a lot of sour water, although Huang Yuanshan's stomach was still twitching in pain, he felt much more comfortable, leaned against the wall and withdrew from the alley, standing on the corner of the street, the opposite Hu Cake Shop exuded a strong fragrance, Huang Yuanshan's stomach pumped even more, swallowed saliva one after another, moved his steps to the gold and silver shop next to him, exchanged the broken silver in his hand for copper coins, bought a pack of Hu Cakes, just took one and raised it to his mouth, suddenly stopped, looked left and right in fear, the king of Hades kept him for his daughter-in-law and son! Huang Yuanshan wiped off the saliva gushing out with his sleeve, shook his hands and put the cake back, and then moved his steps to the grain store next to him, the north and south goods store to buy some rice, grain, oil and salt with cash, and the powerful and airless shop guy sent it to the Su family's compound in Maoer Hutong, holding the cake himself, and moving it back home step by step, the daughter-in-law and son had to be respected by the king of Hades.

Li Xiaoqi returned to the yard, went directly into the clean room and washed up and down, changed into clean clothes and came out, crooked on the couch, looked at the begonia while drinking tea and said, "In the future, we won't eat roast duck." Begonia burst out laughing: "I thought the girl could really eat roasted whole people!" Li Xiaoyi's face was disgusting, and he waved his hand again and again and said: "Today is disgusting, let's eat vegetarian for a few days!" ”

"Well, okay, Nanning just bought a few cream crabs this morning and came back, so it's cheap and light moon." Haitang said with a smile, Li Xiaoqi hesitated and said, "Forget it, it's not enough to be vegetarian, fry that crab with salted egg yolk and eat it!" Haitang and Danyue couldn't stop laughing, Li Xiaoqi also laughed, and looked at the two of them while laughing: "Although the girl is disgusted today, she is in a good mood, and after being here for so long, this thing has finally seen a little crack!" Danyue went out to talk to Nanning, and asked him to send someone to Zhang Ji on Jinliangqiao Street to buy some fried lungs and come back for everyone to eat, that is a good thing that Taiping Mansion is famous for! Danyue said crisply, and went out to find Nanning to pass the word, Haitang looked at Li Xiaoqi and smiled: "The girl doesn't know, the day before yesterday said in the long run, it is most comfortable to go out with the girl to do things, the girl is not only capable, but also can eat, play and enjoy, they also follow the light, this trip is comfortable." ”

"Life is a few decades, it's very short, just be happy." Li Xiaoqi leaned back lazily: "I got up too early in the morning, I squinted for a while, and bought fried lungs and called me." Haitang agreed, took a thin quilt and covered it with Li Xiaoyi, closed the curtain lightly, and retreated to the door to do needlework.

In the evening, Xi'an sent a bamboo tube in, Li Xiaoqi picked up the bamboo tube, poured out a long scroll of letters, the letter was still written by Su Zicheng himself, first asked about the progress, and said that Mr. Liang was quite smooth in South Vietnam, and finally said that the preliminary examination of martial arts had been completed, Wei Shuisheng was skilled in swords and horses, both civil and military, and won Wu Jieyuan. Li Xiaoqi smiled and read these two sentences several times, let out a long sigh of relief, tilted his head and thought about it, and instructed Danyue to take a pen and paper, pick it up, pick it up, pick out a very thin sheep's hair, wet it with ink, first tried to write a few words, raised it and frowned, Danyue probed over to look at it, stayed for a moment, forced a smile and muttered: "The word girl is really •••••• unique style." ”

Li Xiaoqi sighed, the two lives were added together, and she had never written a good-looking word, Li Xiaoqi threw the pen on the inkstone, reached out and took Su Zicheng's letter, looked at the good-looking fly-headed Xiaokai on it, and then aimed at the last two lines, sighed, forget it, let's go back to two words, although this Xie Yuan •••••• although she believes that Brother Shui Sheng is indeed good at both civil and military affairs, but after all, he is from the army, from the fourth army to take this preliminary test, this Xie Yuan, no matter how good it is, is also seventy percent of the strength, three percent of the favor, there is this Xie Yuan at the bottom, This aquatic brother can at least get a jinshi, which is a big favor. Li Xiaoqi hung his head and thought about it for a long time, this letter is not good not to write.

Seeing that Li Xiaoqi picked up the pen again, she hurriedly stepped forward to study the ink again, Li Xiaoqi looked at the pen in her hand critically, frowned and ordered: "This is not good, is there any good one?" I'll pick a few more. Danyue pursed her lips and smiled, turned around and went in and came in with a box of pens, Li Xiaoqi dialed it around, picked a very thin wolf pen out, dipped it in ink, and thought about it with the pen against her cheeks, and decided to write it all the way back in the vernacular, those literary words, she seems to have no problem, but if you really want to make an article, it will be far away, it is better to simply go in the vernacular, and the short is also short, Li Xiaoqi made up his mind, took the pen, and slowly wrote: "The letter has been received, the matter has a little eyebrows, it is a long story, go back and talk to you in detail, it is best for the beam to not move for the time being, Thank you for informing Brother Shui Sheng of the good news. ”

Seeing Li Xiaoqi concentrating on writing a letter, Danyue had already quietly retreated to the door to guard, Li Xiaoqi wrote such a few words of vernacular with difficulty, put down the pen, read it again, rolled up the letter, Danyue took the sealing mud over, Li Xiaoqi carefully sealed it, called Xi'an to come in, Xi'an took a bamboo tube, scalded the paint seal in front of Li Xiaoyi, added a seal, put away the bamboo tube and withdrew.
