Chapter 97 Appointment
The next morning, Wisteria came in with a brocade bag, Li Xiaoqi got up late, was having breakfast, caught a glimpse of the familiar brocade bag, motioned Wisteria to put the brocade bag on the couch and asked, "Nanning sent it?" ”
"Yes! Said to come back early tomorrow morning to pick it up. Wisteria replied, carefully put the brocade bag in his arms beside Li Xiaoyi, Li Xiaoqi slowly drank a bowl of porridge, the corner of his eyes looked at Wisteria, his heart moved slightly, and he turned his head and ordered: "Look at a few pieces, if there are less, I will go out after reading it, if there are more, come back and look again, I still have something to do." ”
Wisteria agreed, pulled out the brocade bag, and sorted out the documents inside in a moment: "A total of fourteen pieces, not much." ”
"Hmm." Li Xiaoqi put down the bowl, took the handkerchief and wiped his hands, watched Liuyun and Tingzhu carry the dishes and chopsticks down with the kang table, motioned to Wisteria to hand over the paperwork, crooked on the pillow, and looked carefully one by one, Wisteria made tea and brought it over, and stood next to him with his hands down to listen to the instructions, Li Xiaoqi finished reading the paperwork, handed it to Wisteria and instructed: "This excerpt for disposing of the prisoners of Liangdi, it looks like the day was a month ago, why did you send it over?" Come over from Nanning tomorrow, you can ask him. Wisteria lowered his hand and agreed, Li Xiaoqi jumped off the bed, and instructed as he walked: "I'll look for Sister Fan to eat at noon, don't wait for me, you can do it yourself." ”
Li Xiaoqi came out idly, asked a mother-in-law, and ran all the way to the east courtyard.
Everyone in the east courtyard was there, and as soon as he saw her come in, Lu Feng jumped up and pointed at her and shouted, "You only came when everyone is gone!" Wake up at dawn, sprinkle and sweep the court! This is the ancient precept, look at you! Every day! Li Xiaoqi clenched his fists in front of his chest, squinted his eyes and stared at Lu Feng, staring at Lu Feng's words behind him, swallowing back stiffly, and turning a big corner vaguely: "I got up quite early." Li Zonggui laughed out loud, Li Xiaoqi snorted at him, came over and squeezed Li Zongliang to sit on the couch, turned his head and asked, "Who is here?" Nanning? Water rocks? ”
"It's Nanning, who came over and passed on the words of the prince, saying that he had placed me and a few Shui Sheng in the Huwei Army of the Fourth Army, and appointed me as the commander, and Shui Sheng them, as well as Tie Mu, appointed the head of the capital, and the letter of appointment was also brought over, and it was there." Li Zongliang pointed to a few rolls of brocade, Mr. Fan was about to take it and hand it to Li Xiaoyi, Li Xiaoqi waved his hand, what's so nice about this?! He only looked up at Li Zongliang and asked, "When will you take office?" ”
"Say it's with us, but since you've made up your mind, it's as soon as you can, I've already told Nanning, I'll rush over early tomorrow morning, the Huwei army is now stationed one hundred and fifty miles west of Kaiping Mansion, although it's not far, but you can't say that you will come back, you have to worry more about things at home."
"Well, what about the gentleman? How did you settle it? Li Xiaoqi casually agreed, looked at Mr. Fan and asked, Mr. Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "On the way, the prince sent someone to ask me, and the second master of the water also asked me before, I refused, I have been out of Wu country, and then I have been out of Beiping, this is always a little bit of nostalgia, I am also old, and I don't have those ambitions, forget it, An Ansheng is the best to support the elderly." ”
"Mr. taught the eldest brother how they were officials, how did they teach?" Li Xiaoyi's topic jumped very quickly, Mr. Fan glanced at Li Zongliang, and said helplessly: "This is the way of an official, and it is useless to just talk about it. ”
"How can Mr. be willing to let the eldest brother fall all the way and break his head and bleed all the way to learn to be an official? Mr. is in his prime, and it is too early to retire, I think, Mr. might as well go to the army with the eldest brother and be a gentleman's staff member for the eldest brother. Li Xiaoqi said with a smile, Li Zongliang hurriedly turned his head, looking at Mr. Fan expectantly, Wei Shuisheng hurriedly stood up, and signaled Li Erhuai and Li Zonggui, and looked at Mr. Fan to the end, Mr. Fan was stunned for a moment, pointed at Li Xiaoqi with his hand, and before he could speak, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly smiled and said: "A son-in-law is half a son, this is half of a son-in-law, and in the future, he will inherit two families, and Mr. can't say the word 'no'!" ”
Mr. Fan turned his head to look at Li Zongliang, who was full of anticipation, sighed and agreed: "Okay, it's just right, so I don't have to worry about being at home." Li Xiaoqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Mr. Fan was willing to follow, she let go of seventy or eighty percent of her heart, the eldest brother was too loyal, and he had never entered the official career, this official doorway, even if he had never heard of it, if Mr. Fan refused to go, she had to follow all the way by herself, and now Mr. Fan is willing to follow the best, she can stay in this Kaiping Mansion, stay by Su Zicheng's side, there are people in the court who are good officials, at least they will not be slandered and suppressed.
"When Cheng Wang comes back, I will send him to the army, and his skills will change a little, and to be tactful, they are all extremely useful things." Li Xiaoqi thought for a while, and then said, Wei Shuisheng nodded in agreement: "What Xiaoqi said makes sense, blindly rushing and fighting hard can't last long, we can't be brave soldiers in the future, we can be brave soldiers, we are being smart armies." ”
"Beiping has just leveled the beam, there is a two-year gap to recuperate, we must take advantage of these two years to train the people and horses to come out, this training is more important than fighting." Mr. Fan pondered and said in a deep voice, Li Xiaoqi saw that their minds had shifted to military training, stood up and said goodbye: "You guys talk, I'll go talk to Sister Fan." ”
Lu Feng jumped up: "I'll go with you!" ”
"Hey, I'm going to find Sister Fan, what are you doing?" Li Xiaoqi walked out, looked at Lu Feng and asked, Lu Feng followed behind and discussed, "What do you say to those girls?" What's the point? It's almost Chongyang, I heard that the temple is opening the altar to preach the Fa in the past few days, and there is a trading conference for ten thousand surnames, and you will definitely be able to find interesting things, let's go shopping? ”
Li Xiaoqi paused and sighed sadly: "How can there be silver?" Let me tell you, my family is almost out of the pot, I have to talk to my future sister-in-law about the open source method, by the way, you owe me a thousand taels of gold, when will it be repaid? Lu Feng choked and stared at Li Xiaoqi for a long time before he spoke: "Will you have no money?" Just you, do any business, and the money will come? Do you still remember me? I'll pay you back when the big brother comes. ”
"When is your eldest brother coming?"
"It's on the road, it's not an urgent matter, it's here in the moon!" Lu Feng's face was full of reluctance, a little uncle is enough for a headache, and then such a big brother who can't laugh, alas!
"When is he coming? Still not leaving? Li Xiaoqi looked at Lu Feng with an awkward face and asked, Lu Feng exhaled: "I don't know, I can't say it in the letter, but I think I definitely have to go back, I can't delay it for a long time, my father must urge him to go back, it's not appropriate for him to stay here." ”
"What about you?"
Lu Feng looked at Li Xiaoyi, hesitated for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "I'm also thinking about this, my eldest brother definitely wants to take me back, if he didn't want to take me back, he wouldn't have rushed over so quickly, it doesn't matter if I go back, it's just •••••• or you go back with me, right?" Let me tell you, there are many fun places in Xinyang Mansion, let's play in Xinyang, you can play as much as you want, Xinyang is tired of playing, I'll take you to the sea to play, haven't you seen the sea? Let me tell you, the water is so blue that people can't believe it, take a boat in the middle of the sea, look around, that feeling, the world is vast, the water and the sky are the same, you must like it! The more Lu Feng said, the more excited he became: "The two of us play all the way all over the world!" ”
"You're going to be the number one in the world?" Li Xiaoqi looked at him and took a sentence slowly, Lu Feng smiled: "This is a trivial matter, by the way, how about it?" ”
"Not good!" Li Xiaoqi was reluctant to talk more about this topic, the blue sea, she slept in the clear and cold sea for I don't know how long: "Will you pass the top card of Kaiping Mansion?" If you haven't been there, you're so empty now, why don't you hurry up and go? I have something to do, I don't have time to pay attention to you, we have an early meal, and if you don't come back at the end of Shen, I won't wait for you to eat. Li Xiaoqi walked straight forward as he spoke, Lu Feng followed closely behind, a little confused, this little five, it was awkward to mention the top card, really!
"Hey! You wait, you don't want to take a look at the surname deal? You might even find a better one than the one you had last time! Lu Feng hurriedly walked a few steps to catch up, and said flatteringly, Li Xiaoqi stopped his steps, looked at Lu Feng and asked, "You don't have anything to do?" ”
"What do you think I can do?" Lu Feng spread his hands and asked, "Do you have anything wrong?" I'll do it for you! ”
"Okay, you go and help me inquire, how much silver does a house like the Fan family next door cost, and then help me inquire, there are several silk and satin villages in this Kaiping Mansion, which is the largest, the silk and silk sold in it are from Wu Guo, or from the weaving workshop in Beiping." Li Xiaoqi simply ordered.
"What are you asking about this? Want to start a silk business? This business is not easy to do, how can you have so much capital? ”
Li Xiaoqi looked at him helplessly: "You have to help me do it!" Why do you ask so much? If you want to go, you can go, or you should go and play with your first card. “
"Okay, I'll go, I'll go!" Lu Feng hurriedly agreed, and watched Li Xiaoqi turn into the small flower hall where Mrs. Fan took care of housework, and then threw the folding fan, swayed out of the door, and went to the silk village.
Mrs. Fan had already finished sorting out a few family affairs, and was talking to Yueting and doing needlework, when she saw Li Xiaoqi coming in, she got up and asked her to sit down, poured tea over, Li Xiaoqi said that Mr. Fan would also go to the army tomorrow, looking at Yueting, and did not talk any further, Mrs. Fan smiled and gossiped for a while, and sent Yueting and said: "In the morning, the second aunt confessed, saying that you sleep unsteadily at night, so that you don't get too tired, go back to eat at noon, you go back quickly, so as not to worry about the second aunt." ”
Yueting rubbed up a little reluctantly, and was about to speak, Mrs. Fan raised her voice and called Yuyan in, and explained while pushing Yueting out: "Yuyan send Yueting girl back, don't be greedy and delay on the way, let the second aunt be anxious." Yu Yan agreed, and Yue Ting had no choice but to follow Yu Yan out of the flower hall, turn the corner door and go back.
