In May, Mama Zhang began to be busy preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival again, sending gifts to the water family, taking back the gifts, and then sending people over to send thank-you gifts, the willow alleys at this time, and the previous quiet is not compared, the people who want to send the gifts do not know how many times, and the gifts to be received are more, and the gifts are always sent to hurry over to return the gifts, but it is not good to make people feel frivolous, this time back and forth, the house is busy one by one, Mama Zhang and Mama Lu, Wisteria discussed, reported to Li Xiaoyi, and picked some servants to buy back, I really can't handle it.

Counting the days, the officials of the Ministry of Rites who rushed to Wudi to ask about the assassination should also pass Zhengcheng, Su Zicheng and Su Ziyi picked an auspicious day, and prepared to set off for Huaiyang after the Dragon Boat Festival, and came back from Ning Wangfu, Su Zicheng called Li Xiaoqi over and asked, "Has Wei Shuisheng recovered a little?" ”

"It's much better, I still practice a sword with my left hand in the morning these days, and I practice a few pages in the afternoon, thank you, Lord Wang." Li Xiaoqi replied with a smile, Su Zicheng nodded with satisfaction, looked at Li Xiaoqi and suggested: "After the first battle on Huainan Road, we have to recuperate for a while, I think, let Wei Shuisheng follow Shui Yan to lead the messenger, although it can't make a big contribution, there is also a saying when it comes to rewarding meritorious deeds, and after the war, find a suitable messenger, this is also a saying, what do you see?" ”

"Thank you, I can't ask for it." Li Xiaoqi smiled with a smile on his face, and simply agreed, Su Zicheng breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Let's set off on the evening of the sixth day of the new year, and the auspicious time that Qin Tianjian is optimistic about is not a few days, you go back to prepare and prepare, bring a few more girls to wait, this trip is not as good as you go to Taiping Mansion, you can bring as many things as you want." Li Xiaoqi looked at Su Zicheng stunned, forget it, let's go, big brother and they, as well as Brother Shuisheng, are all on the battlefield of Huainan Road, and he is also uneasy to stay in Kaiping Mansion, it is better to go over and watch closely, maybe he can help something, as for business, alas, this is not a hurry, let's delay it first, just right, see if there is any business that can be done on Huainan Road•••••• Li Xiaoqi smiled and nodded, Su Zicheng beckoned her to go to the map of the east wall, pointed to the big map of Huainan Road and whispered: "I have discussed it with my eldest brother, This trip should be resolved quickly, take down Huainan Road as soon as possible, can not leave room for scheduling for Empress Dowager Wu and the eldest prince, after taking it down, no matter what, it is necessary to suppress and stabilize the people's hearts as soon as possible, the meaning of the eldest brother, this matter is handed over to you, he said that you are at least better than me, and I also mean this, the eldest brother has already watched the household department select the appropriate state and county officials. Li Xiaoqi choked in his throat in one breath, looked at Su Zicheng and shouted in a low voice: "There is no one in Beiping?" Do you want me to take care of such a big thing? ”

"There are people, but I don't like them." Su Zicheng dusted off his robe and replied, Li Xiaoqi even blinked his eyes and didn't say anything for a long time.

In the evening, Li Xiaoqi got out of the car in the second gate, and dragged his steps to visit Wei Shuisheng in the lotus garden first, Wei Shuisheng just wrote two small letters, Li Xiaoqi picked it up and praised it non-stop, Wei Shuisheng laughed: "This is still a good word?" When did Xiao Mi's praise become so worthless? ”

"It's very good, it's better than what I wrote, it's all good words!" Li Xiaoqi said very seriously, the begonia who was sending the red date soup in suddenly laughed, Wei Shuisheng also smiled and shrugged his shoulders, several people laughed for a while, drank the red date soup, Li Xiaoqi said Su Zicheng's arrangement, Wei Shuisheng reached out and gently patted Li Xiaoyi's thin shoulder, and said in a sad whisper: "Look at your skinny, although it is said that it is a quick battle, no matter how fast it is, it will take half a year, the city is easy to fight, and how much effort does it take to straighten out the broken city?" Little one, alas! The second brother doesn't know what to say! ”

"It's okay, anyway, the prince said, this trip is no better than going to Taiping Mansion, you can bring more girls, bring more things, I just thought about it, anyway, the two of us went to Huaiyang and Huainan Road, and there are not many people in the house, I will bring them all, and then pack up ten cars and eight cars of things, just as a tour of the mountains and rivers, Brother Shui is not that he doesn't know me, he will enjoy it the most, it's okay!" Li Xiaoqi smiled and comforted Wei Shuisheng, Wei Shuisheng sighed and nodded.

"There is one more thing, you are not as good as before, this hand is not enough, besides, the body is not fully recovered, you have to have a few capable little guys to wait, our family is late, this person is not strong, I want to ask Shui Tong big \ / Grandma to ask a few reliable and stable little guys for you to use, do you see if it's good?" Li Xiaoqi looked at Wei Shuisheng and discussed, Wei Shuisheng blinked, Li Xiaoqi pursed his lips and said in a low voice with a smile: "I heard that the mother-in-law of the family who accompanied the seventh lady to marry has already prepared, let her send a few over and you can use it first, anyway, sooner or later." Wei Shuisheng's face suddenly flushed, and he tried to say casually: "You arrange it." Li Xiaoqi stood up with a smile, said goodbye and went back to wash and eat.

Early the next morning, the Ministry of War sent Wei Shuisheng's assignment to Liushu Hutong, and the soldiers on Huainan Road were secretly prepared.

In the afternoon, the steward of Shuitong Mansion found Shui Yan and found Li Xiaoyi, and asked when she would return to the house, saying that Shuitong Da/Grandma had wrapped some brown seeds with her own hands, and wanted to send some samples to the fifth master, Li Xiaoqi looked at Shui Yan and smiled: "Shen Zheng will go back before, but the host and guest are at your place, and it is not interesting for me to go back early, and I will also ask you for personal favors, let others go back as soon as possible." Shui Yan shook his head while laughing: "The Seventh Lady is so stable and personal•••••• Li Xiaoqi looked at Shui Yan, suddenly smiled all over his face, looked solemn, closed his eyes, put his hands together and prayed: "Gods and Bodhisattvas, please give Shui Yan of Kaiping Mansion a marriage of knowing and loving each other, Amitabha!" Shui Yan looked at Li Xiaoqi dumbfounded, Li Xiaoqi opened his eyes and smiled: "Okay, I have prayed for you, and when you are haunted by your dreams, you will be able to understand the Seventh Lady." Shui Yan couldn't laugh when he heard it: "Listening to what you said like this, it's like you're haunted by a dream, you know?" Li Xiaoqi's face froze, took two steps back, turned around and left with a smile, ignoring his words.

Li Xiaoqi just returned to Willow Hutong to change clothes, Shui Tong entered the second door, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly greeted out, Zhang Mama cleared the second door clearly, only herself and Begonia, Qingcheng two waiting, Shui Tong with a helpless smile and Li Xiaoqi salute, Li Xiaoqi stretched out his head to look at the car and smiled: "Sister Lian is also here?" Before the words fell, the curtain of the car was lifted, Shui Liantong blushed, and tried to get out of the car calmly, Li Xiaoqi stepped forward and held her and smiled: "I will leave for Huaiyang with the prince in a few days, thinking that you should also come over and talk to me, why did you come today?" Shui Lian hurriedly explained: "I came to talk to you, where do you want to go?" Li Xiaoqi pursed his lips and smiled without saying a word, Shui Tong followed closely behind and laughed: "It's not that there are three hundred taels of silver here!" Shui Liantong blushed, twisted her head and simply stopped talking.

Mama Zhang walked far ahead, leading the three of them to a quiet flower hall not far from the second gate, bent her knees far away, and retreated, Wei Shuisheng greeted the door of the flower hall, her face and demeanor were naturally full of unnaturalness, and she saluted the two of them, Li Xiaoqi let go of the water lotus, turned around and pulled Shui Tong and smiled: "Big / Grandma, I just want to ask you for help, these flowers are blooming well, let's talk while admiring the flowers?" Shui Tong stopped, turned his head to look at the flower hall with open windows on all sides and Mama Zhang, Haitang and others standing far away, and said with a smile: "The fifth master is a caring person, if there is anything, the fifth master just say." Li Xiaoqi pulled Shui Tong, walked a few steps to the side, and whispered about finding a proper little boy for Wei Shuisheng, Shui Tong smiled and agreed: "How can it not work?" It's up to me! ”

"Then I'm relieved, in addition to this, there is another thing, one is the house where Brother Shui got married, I originally thought, Brother Shui and I are in Kaiping Mansion, the matter of this house looks at the purchase of a very bento, now you see, there is no one in the family who can call the shots, this matter will be entrusted to the big / grandma, we must pick a satisfactory house, turn around I let the housekeeper under the door, called Zhang Gouzi, go to the house to see the big / grandma, buy the house to repair, please also big / grandma worry about pointing him." Li Xiaoqi then entrusted, Shui Tong nodded again and again: "Don't worry, I originally discussed with the seventh sister, I want to put it in the •••••• is nothing else, just a heart, and then I talked to the second master, the second master said that it is not necessary, the fifth master must have already succeeded, this house is put there, it is not good to talk about it when you look back, and it also hurts the face of the second master and the fifth master, I think about it, it is better to fold it into something else, the fifth master just rest assured, the fifth master and the Shui family are just begging the two of them to be good, and this matter will be left to me, The fifth master has been very thin for a while, I brought some bird's nest and red ginseng over, I know that you are not lacking, but I do my best, remember to maintain more, if you don't maintain it when you are young, you will know that it is bitter when you are old••••••" Shui Tong agreed, and told Li Xiaoqi trivially, Li Xiaoqi looked at her with some surprise and smiled: "Big/Grandma, why do you ••••••talk too much!" ”

"Really?" Shui Tong touched his sideburns a little embarrassed: "No wonder Ah Ming always thinks I'm verbose, it seems that I'm really in the grade, and the words have come up, the fifth master doesn't know, the mothers-in-law who do things in the Salesian Bureau have to be verbose, and they can't do the idea without saying a word••••••" Li Xiaoqi didn't interrupt her, just smiled and listened to her talk about the trivial things of the Salesian Bureau, it seems that she is now lively and angry, when she first met, how could she have the heart to speak?
