The negotiations between Yu Yuanshan and Shi Yu and others were settled in two days, Su Zicheng stopped step by step, reluctantly withdrawing from a city, slowly resting for a few days, and then withdrawing from a city, and then resting for a few days, until Nanyue carried this breath, a few hundred thousand fires a day to urge Lord Qian who was far away in Yangzhou, Lord Qian simply grabbed Shi Yu, sat in the Zhuangzi outside the city to urge Su Zicheng to withdraw the army, Shi Yu was very distressed, complained for days, and had long advised you to go down, that business agreement, you Nanyue will not suffer, You have to put it off again and again! That's the prince of Beiping who is under one person and above ten thousand people, and he has never been willing to eat half a loss, and now let him spit out the meat in his mouth alive, how easy is this? Although the princess said that the princess listened to the princess, the princess, why did she speak for you Nanyue? ••••••

After thinking about it, Fei Xin gave the emperor of Nanyue, and borrowed 50,000 taels of silver from Nanyue's big business in Yangzhou, and bought a jade Guanyin and sent it to Li Xiaoqi's Zhuangzi, sure enough, within two days, Su Zicheng's army withdrew to Beiping, and Lord Qian was relieved in one breath, and finally did not become a sinner of the country!

The war in Beiping and South Vietnam is over, and the world is really peaceful for a while, and the Lord Qian of Nanyue, Lord Song of Northern Wu and Lord Liu of Southern Wu have made a big deal, visiting the hermit Yiren every day out of the city, like to taste tea with good tea, love the elegant female trick, every day in the star picking building happy, just waiting for Su Zicheng and the Qin Cha of each family to rush to Yangzhou City to swear friendship from generation to generation, never to fight.

Su Zixin and his entourage went to the house to study for more than ten days, although Tian Fuzi treated the four of them extremely equally, or even more strict, but there are many students of the same age in the school, Su Zixin is weak, in fact, he is an excellent person to get along with, Guo Newei is careful everywhere, only looking at Su Zixin happy, Shui Jin is gentle and elegant, long-sleeved and good at dancing, a few people quickly mixed very well with the students, Li Xiaoqi has enough silver, the students of the school are under the banner of the literary meeting, Su Zixin gives money, and they will get together every few days, play and play, Momentarily happy.

Only Su Biruo is more distressed than happy, she has not learned much scriptures, please sir, but teach to recognize words, at most learn the four books of women and the like, this four books of women have not learned more, now follow the scriptures to make a fuss, this difficulty can not be said, Master Tian is not polite, every lesson must point her to ask, see her open mouth, although she is a daughter's family, did not open her mouth to scold and raise her hand to hit the ring board, but the laughter oozing out of the silence of the room made Su Biruo sit on pins and needles, on the ten days, then rubbed over to find Li Xiaoyi, said that he would not go to school anymore.

Li Xiaoqi sighed for a long time, and then asked gently, "Then what are your plans?" ”

"Me?!" Su Biruo looked at Li Xiaoqi in distress and blankly: "What can I plan?" I don't have to go to school, I don't have to go to school, and I don't have to do anything ••••••. Su Biruo's voice became lower and lower, Li Xiaoqi looked at her, and said gently and patiently: "This makes sense, we don't have to take any Jinshi exams, those subsets of scriptures and histories, you don't have to be proficient, but you always have to have something to do, stay in this Zhuangzi every day, it's always sad these days, if you go to Yangzhou City every day, your third uncle and they have to go to school, you are alone, what do you have to go shopping?" There is always something to do to pass the time, people like us, the most important thing is to make ourselves live well, what do you say? ”

Su Biruo hung her head for a long time, nodded slowly, shook her head again, and said in a low voice: "I don't know what to do." ”

Li Xiaoqi rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers in distress, and thought hard for a long time before he looked at Su Biruo and said with a smile: "Otherwise, you listen to see if it's appropriate, you don't know what you like or don't like at this time, then let's do this, try it again, if you like it, just learn more, if you don't like it, don't learn, okay?" Su Biruo nodded hurriedly, what's so bad about this?! Li Xiaoqi smiled with bent eyes, and then said: "Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, bow, horse, knife and gun, female red housekeeper, try them all!" Su Biruo thought about it, couldn't help but smile and nodded, but Li Xiaoqi became serious: "It's just the same, no matter what you learn, there is an entry process, whether you like it or not, you have to peek at the door to not make a wrong idea, no matter which one, you have to take it seriously, study carefully for a month, and then tell me if you like it or not." ”

Su Biruo was stunned, thought about it, there was nothing wrong with it, and nodded in response, Li Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Su Biruo and said with a smile: "You don't need to learn too much at one time, it's not good to work too hard, your third uncle will be able to write, if there is a fun place, you can also go to play with them, if there is anything lively and interesting in Yangzhou City, it is not good to miss it, and when your second uncle comes back, I am afraid that this Zhuangzi will also have a banquet from time to time, it must be very lively, if there is a little girl of the same age, you are the main family, and you want to help your second uncle entertain guests, and you are also very busy, I think so, learn three things a month, learn a month and then change, if you like something, leave Mr. to continue learning, if you don't like it, just change it, you see? ”

Li Xiaoyi's eyebrows fluttered, no wonder even the third uncle said that she was good, but she was really thoughtful and considerate, and every sentence made people happy, such an arrangement is really appropriate! Su Biruo nodded again and again, Li Xiaoqi looked at her, her eyes smiled more crookedly, and her voice became more kind: "In this case, let's not delay the time, let's start learning from tomorrow, we don't have the gentleman who paints the piano and chess, we don't have a good one in the house, we have to find a good one from the outside, don't be in a hurry, there are many masters of needlework in the house, I asked Mama Zhang to pick a few proper and careful, let's learn embroidery first, Wen Hanlin's handwriting, the emperor will praise him as soon as he sees it, you can learn to write with him, okay?" ”

Seeing Su Biruo nodded again and again, he smiled and said: "Embroidery, writing, well, choose one more, is it good to learn brocade?" ”

"Tapestry?" Su Biruo repeated in surprise, Li Xiaoqi looked at her, and patiently explained: "This brocade is the deepest and most interesting, you look at the silk yarn on your body, as well as the flower satin inside, all of which are woven by weavers, which are divided into countless processes, very interesting, this one, we can't learn in our house, it just so happens that I opened a weaving workshop in Yangzhou City, and half of the weavers in it are girls and daughters-in-law, you go there to learn, just the same, let's hide our identity, so as not to scare the little girls of those small families." ”

Su Biruo was excited when she heard this, and agreed repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I promise not to let them guess who I am!" Li Xiaoqi pursed her lips and smiled, and set an hour with Su Biruo to learn embroidery, writing, etc., Su Biruo happily went back to the yard, and told the girl and the grandmother to prepare needlework shed pattern pen, ink, paper, inkstone, cotton clothes, she is going to start learning the craft!

Mama Zhang watched Su Biruo walk out of the door with light steps, turned her head to look at Li Xiaoqi and said with a smile: "The princess really tried her best for the eldest girl. ”

"Alas, what's the way, fortunately, although she has a bad temper, her heart is pure, not the kind of hopeless, uncontrollable child, has the embroidery girl picked it up?"

"I picked it up, I am a native of Yangzhou, I have nothing to say about my craftsmanship, and the embroidered things are lively and cute, and I will be able to match the spleen and stomach of the big girl, and the person is also very cheerful and funny." Mama Zhang hurriedly smiled, Li Xiaoqi said 'um', looked at Mama Zhang and said with a smile: "I won't explain much, you look at it for me, as long as Ah Ruo likes these embroideries, it can be seen that it is bad, it doesn't matter what it can be embroidered into." ”

"Don't worry, the princess has explained all this, this embroidery girl is also a famous family who often walks on the door, and she knows very well that this rich and noble family learns craftsmanship." Mama Zhang smiled, Li Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief, looked out the window, frowned slightly, looked at Mama Zhang and asked in a low voice, "Second Master Lu is still drunk every day?" ”

"Well, yesterday according to the princess's orders, half a jar of water was mixed with the wine jar, and he didn't seem to drink it much, and slept on the boat for most of the day, and then came back and drank again." Mama Zhang also frowned and said in annoyance, Li Xiaoqi stood up, looked out the window for a long time, and commanded in a low voice: "Please Miss Liu come over and talk." ”

Mama Zhang agreed, and after a while, Liu Xiuyun came in and sat down a little dark, thin and haggard, took the cup and drank the tea slowly, and did not look up at Li Xiaoyi, the two silently drank tea for a long time, Li Xiaoyun put down the cup, looked at Liu Xiuyun and asked, "You say, what should I do?" It's not okay to go on like this, what can you do? ”

Liu Xiuyun spread his hands and said, "If I have a way, will I wait until now?" He doesn't eat oil and salt, he just drinks, how can he persuade the law about this? He understands everything. Li Xiaoqi looked at Liu Xiuyun with a sad face, Liu Xiuyun looked at Li Xiaoyun with a distressed face, the two looked at each other for a long time, Li Xiaoqi sighed long, and said in a low voice: "You write a letter to Lu Hua, tell Lu Feng about the situation, and let him deal with it." Liu Xiuyun stayed for a long time before she looked at Li Xiaoqi and asked with a wry smile: "Then why is this, do you want to write it?" ”

"No, Lu Hua is a smart man, you just talk about his current situation, we can't do anything." Li Xiaoqi lowered his eyes and said, Liu Xiuyun let out a long sigh: "My master said that this thing is the most unreasonable and hurtful, but it is best not to encounter it in a few lifetimes!" Li Xiaoqi raised her eyebrows, looked at Liu Xiuyun and opened her mouth, but she didn't ask anything, no matter how she heard her master's words, it was full of bitterness.

Liu Xiuyun stood up slowly, sighed again, lowered his head and said, "Then I'm going to write a letter, is there anything else?" ”

"No, Lu Hua should have known about other things a long time ago." Li Xiaoqi sighed and stood up, sent Liu Xiuyun to the door, stood for a while, shook his head violently, turned back to the house, spread out the yellow calendar, and carefully calculated Su Zicheng's itinerary, in half a month, he should come back.
