Text Chapter 175 Abacus

The fifteenth is the Flower Dynasty Festival, and it is also the day when Imperial Physician Jiang returns home, but he waited until the palace gate fell, and he didn't see Imperial Doctor Jiang return home, Li Xiaoqi frowned, looked at the swaying red lanterns in the courtyard, and was irritable and anxious, half a month had passed since he arrived at the Taiping Mansion, and he didn't even inquire about Emperor Wu's exact condition! Li Xiaoqi threw the note in his hand into the paper basin in annoyance, picked up the tea, put it back irritably, straightened his back, was stunned for a moment, and raised his voice to call Danyue and ordered: "Please Da Chang, Xiao Ning and Xiao An come in, there is something to discuss." Danyue agreed through the curtain, and hurriedly went out to call someone.

After a while, the three of them followed Danyue into the house quickly, Li Xiaoqi sat on the couch, motioned for the three of them to sit down, turned his head and instructed Danyue: "Make a pot of tea, call it Begonia, look at it before and after." Danyue was busy building a pot of tea, took three fine porcelain cups, poured tea for Changchang and others, and called Begonia in the east chamber.

Li Xiaoqi took a sip of tea from the cup, his eyes swept over the long term and the others and whispered: "Imperial Doctor Jiang did not return to the house today, Emperor Wu's illness is only afraid of recurrence, we have been in the Taiping Mansion for more than half a month, how sick Emperor Wu is, there is no trace of faith!" Let's discuss it today, and we must find a way to figure out how sick Emperor Wu is! In the long run, he was ashamed and worried, and hurriedly stood up, arching his hand and about to ask for guilt, Li Xiaoqi waved his hand irritably: "Now the most important thing is to quickly find out Emperor Wu's condition, this matter is not your fault, and it is not the time to admit your mistake." Chang Yuan's face was slightly red, he sat down busily, turned his head to look at Xi'an, Xi'an hung his head and thought for a moment, looked at Li Xiaoqi and suggested: "Or I will sneak into the palace to investigate." ”

"No! At this time, the palace must be heavily guarded, not to guard against us, but also against the eldest prince! Wu Guifei is thoughtful, this method doesn't work, you can't detect things, maybe someone has fallen in. Li Xiaoqi categorically refused, and Nanning nodded in agreement: "The girl is right, this method is too risky, besides, if you miss it, you will lose the bottom." Xi'an hung his head and didn't insist anymore, twisted his eyebrows and frowned for a long time, trying to think of a way, thinking about it, there was nowhere to go! Li Xiaoqi looked at the three of them one by one, all of them were thinking hard, sighed heavily for a while, waved his hand helplessly and said: "Forget it, I'm too anxious, think about it slowly, tell it to go down, everyone must be cautious, do things with your eyes and ears, okay, you go down and rest, Xi'an will go to Fahua Street Medicine Market tomorrow to take a good turn, and ask if there are any people in the palace who have come out to buy what medicine, dead horses are regarded as live horse doctors, maybe you can find some letters." Xi'an agreed, and withdrew from the main house with Changchang and Nanning, and the three of them went out of the weeping flower door, looked at each other a few times, sighed and went back to rest.

Distressed and unable to speak, in addition to Li Xiaoqi, there is also Liangdi's water and rock.

Shui Yan put his hands behind his back and sighed, and kept turning around in the courtyard of Shantao Garden, he came under the orders of the uncle, and before coming, he was full of guarantees! This family business, the uncle mentioned it to the second master a year ago, the second master didn't say no, but also acquiesced, this came to ask for a period, discussed the matter of the ceremony, originally thought of a very simple, one-sentence thing, but it was just a hard run, how did it become like this? Just mentioned it on the day he arrived, and made a gray face, and after that, he didn't find a chance to mention it again, the second master stared at him with a cold face, how dare he say half a word! But this matter can't be delayed any longer, the uncle is still waiting for words! Shui Yan stomped his feet, exhaled a few times, patted the folding fan in his hand, and strode towards Mingjing Hall.

The three small inverted seats outside the Mingjing Hall were full of Liang Di officials from Hou Jian, Shui Yan smiled kindly, bowed his hands politely, and hurriedly walked through the inverted seat room, and did not take the verandah, but went straight from the courtyard to the door of the Mingjing Hall. The little guy at the door raised his voice to report, raised his hand and respectfully opened the curtain, Shui Yan took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to raise his feet and enter the Mingjing Hall.

Su Zicheng sat behind the long case, listening intently to Yu Yuanshan's clear and fluent account book, Yu Yuanshan saw Shui Yan coming in out of the corner of his eye, his voice paused, Su Zicheng reprimanded impatiently: "Miss you!" Yu Yuanshan owed a debt with a calm face, flipped through the account book in his hand, and continued to report the account.

Shui Yan laughed with him, glanced around the corners of his eyes, pretended to be casual and moved his steps to the side, until he moved to Dongping with his head hanging his hands, Yu Yuanshan glanced at Shui Yan, as if he was reading faster than just now, and it didn't take long for Yu Yuanshan to finish reading the high number on the account, looked up at Su Zicheng and said: "Lord Wang, from the numbers, there is no big difference, it is two percent less than last year, it is also common sense, Liang Di went through military affairs last year, fortunately, the wind and rain were smooth last year, but it was reduced by two percent." Su Zicheng said softly, and An Zaihai, who was standing two or three steps behind Yu Yuanshan, said with a smile: "The minister seconded the proposal, what Lord Yu said is very true, not only this, but the number of students who rushed to Enke this year is only less than thirty percent less than in previous years, and Liangdi is becoming more and more stable, which is all due to the benevolence of the prince." Su Zicheng said 'um' again, his face seemed to soften, he turned his head to look at Shui Yan and asked, "Is there something wrong with me?" ”

"Yes." Shui Yan replied with a smile, his eyes were aimed at Yu Yuanshan and An Zaihai, but he didn't say any further, An Zaihai hurriedly turned his head to look at Yu Yuanshan, Yu Yuanshan was looking at Su Zicheng carefully, An Zaihai was also busy looking over, and also looked at Su Zicheng and waited for him to speak, Su Zicheng leaned at Shui Yan, and said lightly: "If you have something to say, hurry up, this king has a lot of things." Shui Yan looked at Su Zicheng helplessly, then turned his head to look at Yu Yuanshan and An Zaihai, who were standing with their hands hanging down and silently, and swallowed their saliva again, this is simply deliberate! Shui Yanxin was slandered, but he didn't dare to delay more, he was more than halfway through, and said with a smile: "It's like the uncle asked the second master, it's more than half of February, it's really time to be tight, the second master has •••••• to talk, and he has to rush back, it's all in March." Shui Yan was shrouded in Su Zicheng's cold gaze, and the more he spoke, the more vague he became.

"Don't you see that this king is busy?" Su Zicheng scolded fiercely with his teeth, Shui Yan swallowed his saliva heavily, and he didn't know what to take, Su Zicheng raised his hand and patted the tall folds, documents, account books, etc. on the long case in front of him and shouted: "Master is busy like this, you are idle, and you still have the time to tell Master about this child's affection!?" Shui Yan swallowed his saliva with difficulty, how did this become a child's love? After a moment of silence, Shui Yan smiled with a smile on his face, laughed dryly, looked at Yu Yuanshan and said in an exaggerated joke: "The second master is just funny when he talks!" The second master is not young, starting a family, and he is not a son, haha, ah, you say yes? What kind of love is this for children? It's also a big deal, isn't it. An Zaihai Chong Shuiyan accompanied a smile on his face, smiling as if he was very much in agreement with this, but his eyes were staring at Su Zicheng, Yu Yuanshan had a serious face, arched his hand, and said a little stunned: "Second Master Shui doesn't dare to comment on this, I think that a man's husband, you should start a business first, and then start a family, if you can't start a business, what do you want the family to do?" ”

Shui Yan didn't know what to say, stared at Yu Yuanshan, only felt that he didn't know how to poke out this breath, An Zaihai was stunned, blinked a few times, lowered his head and lowered his hands, the prince didn't ask him, he wasn't going to say a word. Su Zicheng breathed a sigh of relief, leaned at Shui Yan with a smile, waved his hand and ordered: "Okay, I don't have time to talk to you about this idle matter, the day after tomorrow Lu Feng is here, you and him are exactly a pair, you two are very interesting, okay, I will also fulfill the friendship between the two of you and pick up Lu Feng." Shui Yan looked at Su Zicheng in distress, didn't dare to say more, and didn't dare to go against his intentions, so he bowed his head and agreed, pulling his shoulders and withdrawing.

Yu Yuanshan and An Zaihai withdrew and walked out of Shantao Garden, An Zaihai hurriedly grabbed Yu Yuanshan, pulled him to a secluded corner, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you talking too much?" The second master of Shui, how did we get offended? You're not reckless, what the hell is going on? Yu Yuanshan looked at An Zaihai with deep eyes, An Zaihai pushed him, and said impatiently: "You, me, Qian Qian, and Tang Gongsun, the four of us are grasshoppers on a rope!" There are more than a dozen captives in Liangdi, just the four of us have surrendered, in Liang, alas! Don't mention it, in Beiping, we are not from Beiping after all, if you don't help me and I help you hold it tightly, not to mention the future future, it is your life••••••" An Zaihai raised his hand and made a neat virtual scratch on his neck, and his mouth was low with a 'cluck' sound.

Yu Yuanshan looked around vigilantly, leaned over to An Zahai's ear, and whispered, "Brother An was confused for a while, isn't it!" What did the second master of the water say to the prince? It's a matter of getting married! If the prince becomes a pro-•••••• the fifth master is still out and hasn't come back at this time! An Zaihai's eyes blinked quickly for a long time, swallowed, looked at Yu Yuanshan and smiled bitterly: "You also think too well!" How can the fifth master •••••• identity to be there, this ••••••"

"What's wrong with Mendi? The cold door can't fly out of the golden phoenix? What does the fifth master want, I think the fifth master is worthy of the prince! Yu Yuanshan's eyes were a little proud, and after a few words of anger, Yu Yuanshan lowered his eyelids and paused, and his voice softened: "If it is someone else, this family is •••••• but the prince, as long as the prince is willing, in this world, who can change his mind?" ”

"And Lord Ning••••••"

"Huh!" Yu Yuanshan sneered: "If Lord Ning can be the master of our prince, then Second Master Shui still needs to make such a trip?" An Zaihai twisted his short beard, which was almost uncontrollable, and suddenly nodded and smiled: "If this can be done, what are we worried about in the future••••••?" We are serious and come from the five masters! Let's go, call Lao Qian, and Brother Tang, come to me for a drink! Let's have a good chat! ”
