Grandma Shen pulled Li Xiaoqi to sit down on the edge of the bed, ordered the needlework, lit the lamp, and said in a low voice while doing needlework: "In the evening, as soon as you left, Liu Eryi arrived home, that Huang Da, carrying a bottle of old wine and a piece of silk cloth, went over!" It didn't take long for the surnamed Huang to be beaten out by Liu Er, a piece of material was thrown out, sprinkled and sprinkled, sprinkled on the ground, Liu Er jumped outside and scolded, it turned out! Grandma Shen stopped her needlework and turned her head to look at Li Xiaoyi, her eyes full of mystery and schadenfreude, "The one surnamed Huang actually asked for her own marriage!" Tell me, what kind of reason is this! How can anyone ask for a marriage for themselves?! No matter what, I have to hire a matchmaker, this is my own door to say goodbye to myself, my wife has lived these years, it's the first time I've seen it! ”

"That's right, this is not in accordance with the rules, it makes people laugh, in fact, this matchmaker, you don't need to look outside, Grandma is suitable, but it is not better than rushing to the door by herself!" Li Xiaomi's mind turned quickly, looked at Shen Pozi, and said with a smile, Shen Pozi suddenly found a bosom friend, clapped her hands, and agreed repeatedly: "That's it!" I'm not greedy for his idea of thanking the matchmaker, this is not a matchmaker and can't get married, look, isn't this stiff now?!It's all neighbors, how can we meet again in the future? This Huang Da, no father, no mother, no one to teach, acting with your brothers and sisters, the difference is one underground and one in the sky! ”

"Then Brother Huang, just listening to Second Uncle Liu's scolding? It's really enduring. ”

"That Huang Da is not a good stubble! The temperament is cloudy, gone, came out of the second room of Liu, locked the door and left, I didn't ask for the material, or I cleaned it up and stuffed it into him through the crack in the door. ”

"Oh, Mrs. Liu is also good-looking, it's getting late, grandma, you should go to bed early, this light is dim, don't do it for too long, otherwise your eyes will be broken." After listening to the gossip, Li Xiaoqi jumped up and said goodbye, Shen Pozi hurriedly stood up, stretched out her hand and brushed Li Xiaoqi's clothes: "Grandma is fine, you wait!" Mrs. Shen said, took out a palm-sized indigo silk purse from the sewing basket, and stretched it out for Xiao Mi to look at: "Look at it, isn't this so?" ”

Li Xiaoqi took it and looked at it, and thanked with joy on her face: "Grandma is really amazing, that's it, it's better than I thought, thank you, grandma!" ”

"Thanks what! How can I see it so much, hurry back and rest, it's cold, grandma took advantage of the good sun today, stuck the soles of her shoes, and the sticky ones were thick! Make a few pairs of thick shoes for your brothers and sisters to wear. ”

"Thank you Grandma for remembering, tomorrow I will ask my eldest brother to send the shoes money."

"Alas, this little girl, Grandma just stuck the soles of her shoes, so you asked the eldest brother to send money, I don't know, I thought you and Grandma were close!" With a smile on her face, Mrs. Shen gently twisted Li Xiaomi's cheeks, joking happily, Li Xiaomian pinched her purse, came out with a smile, and turned into her room.

The next day was the day when Princess Funing got married, Li Xiaoqi calculated, only took three catties of Ejiao jujube the day before, sold out early, rushed home and changed into a white summer cloth jacket, a pair of indigo pants, took half a tael of silver, and put a few big coins into an indigo purse, went out, and ran to Yicheng Tower.

Yicheng Tower is already crowded with people, Wu is open, Taiping Mansion is one of the world's most luxurious and lively places, the royal ceremony, never forbidden the people to watch, sometimes, this ceremony is more like a folk festival in general.

Li Xiaoqi squeezed in the direction of Yicheng Tower flexibly like a swimming fish, and squeezed for more than a quarter of an hour before squeezing to the bottom of Yicheng Tower, where four or five Kong Wu guys stood in front of Yicheng Tower, blocking the crowd watching the excitement, so as not to let them squeeze in, disturbing the distinguished guests who booked a lot of money.

Li Xiaoqi squeezed in front of a guy, sweat oozing from the corners of his forehead, and asked with a smile, "Has Master Zhijing arrived?" He was the one who told me to come here to find him. The guy was stunned, and was about to answer, when a shopkeeper-like person behind him had already answered: "It's Li Wuye, right?" Mr. Lin has already explained, please come in with me. ”

The first time he was called 'master', Li Xiaoqi had a strange feeling in his heart, the guy turned sideways, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly went up the steps, followed the shopkeeper to the inside, went upstairs, and the shopkeeper led the two into the easternmost private room: "Fifth master, please, this is the best one we have here, with an unobstructed view, but you can always see the Golden Water Gate." The shopkeeper introduced with a smile as he walked, and when he arrived at the door of the private room, he lifted the curtain and watched Li Xiaoqi go in, before retreating.

The private room is very spacious, much more spacious than the Changfeng Lou Fuzi A room, there is a carved lacquer round table in the middle, the table is full of all kinds of snacks and fruits, Mr. Lin is sitting on the top, is drinking tea and chatting with Zhijing, Li Xiaoqi came in to see the ceremony, Zhijing pointed to the opposite side with the pu fan in his hand: "Don't talk about those false courtesies, sit down, what tea do you want to drink today?" Longjing? This snow bud is really good today, try it? ”

"Hmm." Li Xiaoqi nodded and agreed, and Chang Sui stepped forward to pour tea, Li Xiaoqi picked it up and sniffed it, and slowly took a sip.

"How?" Zhijing asked with concern, Li Xiaoqi nodded,

"Well, it's delicious."

"I got some good pu tea a few days ago, and I happened to bring it today, if you don't like this, let someone make you pu tea." Mr. Lin looked at Li Xiaoqi and said casually, Li Xiaoqi nodded twice, "This tea is delicious, I don't understand tea, I just don't know how to praise it, that's it, thank you Mr. Lin." ”

Zhijing laughed and lit the food snacks on the table with a pu fan: "Eat first, the wedding is a faint thing, and it will take a while." ”

Li Xiaoqi smiled in response, poked his head, looked at the table, stood up, picked a plate of sheep's feet, and ate slowly, Mr. Lin drank tea, looked at her for a while, turned his head and continued to talk to Zhijing: "Are you really going to settle down and go to southern Sichuan?" ”

"Well, it's better to avoid it, now the dark tide is surging inside, it looks good on the surface, but it's very dangerous inside, I think it's good for you to go back to your hometown to live for a year or two." Zhi Jing waved the pu fan for a while, looked at Mr. Lin and suggested, Mr. Lin glanced at Li Xiaoyi, who was concentrating on eating sheep's feet, and replied with a 'hmm' voice: "Besides, when will you come back?" ”

"Come back when it's time to come back." Zhijing finished drinking the tea in the cup, turned around and instructed the servant: "Make a pot of tea." ”

The servant agreed, a moment of effort, replaced the simple stoneware cup, and poured Pu tea again for the three of them, Li Xiaoqi took a sip and squinted his eyes in enjoyment, the aftertaste at the root of the tongue, sweet and refreshing, the tea next to it can not be compared in any way, she once flew to Yunnan to buy those aged ripe Pu'er tea, this is her great love, Mr. Lin received Pu'er, better than the so-called best tea she bought back then, and these two are also very particular, what kind of tea to use what water, what utensils are very particular, From this tea to the elegant pot and cup, it can fit her heart, and it is really enjoyable to drink!

Zhi Jing looked at Li Xiaoqi who was enjoying himself, shook his head as if he didn't have anything, looked at Mr. Lin, and then said their gossip, "I heard that this Su Zicheng's kung fu is excellent." ”

"Well, I asked General Wen before, and General Wen is extremely jealous of him, and he is an extremely powerful corner, no less than his brother."

"When Su Ziyi destroyed Beining that year, he slaughtered Ning'an City, alas, sin, a hundred years of prosperity, ruined in one fell swoop, I heard that the blood of direct killing flowed like a river." Zhijing put down the cup and said with emotion, Mr. Lin's face was gloomy: "Beiping destroyed Beining, a full meal, quiet for four or five years, and it is almost digested at this time, that Su Ziyi is not a good stubble, I don't know what the idea is this time, I heard that after he slaughtered Ning'an City, his temperament has changed a lot, and now he has a generous reputation, hum!" Generous?! Mr. Lin showed a sneer on his face: "Their Su family, that Emperor Jian'an is really generous, but unfortunately it is useless to be generous, when he was young, he blindly listened to the death of the Empress Xiaoci, and the hundred officials only knew that there was filial piety, but they didn't know the emperor, and when the Empress Xiaoci died, they were at the mercy of their son." ”

"Today's queen has also given birth to a son and a daughter, I don't know what the qualifications of this queen and the emperor's young son are? If someone can give you some guidance and support this mother and son to get up, it will be the blessing of our Wu country. ”

Mr. Lin was silent for a long time, sighed long, and said in a low voice: "I talked to my uncle about this, and some people in the court have tried, but unfortunately the Su Ziyi brothers are already full-fledged, and the late Empress Xiaoci's mother's family is all over the government and the opposition, alas, it is difficult! ”

"There's always something to do."

"Hmm." Mr. Lin was silent for a long time, nodded, and Zhijing changed the topic with a hehe: "Let's worry about the ancients, don't talk about this, the Su brothers have come to ask to marry Funing, they just want to befriend Wu Guo, this time and a half, Wu Guo is fine, let's be free, and avoid this disaster in the court and the palace." ”

"You are very right, take care of the present first, lest you not be destroyed by outsiders, but will be killed by your own people first." Mr. Lin said with a smile, Zhijing patted the pu fan and stood up, walked to the window, shook the pu fan and looked downstairs, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly put down the chopsticks and wanted to stand up, Mr. Lin hurriedly raised his hand to stop her: "It's not time yet, you can eat with peace of mind, and it's too late to come over and see when you hear the cannon." ”

Li Xiaoqi nodded, sat back obediently, and continued to fight for that plate of deliciousness.

Mr. Lin walked to Zhijing and stopped, shook the folding fan, looked down at the crowded and lively street market, sighed long, and sighed in a low voice: "The imperial capital has been peaceful for a long time, the white hair hangs down, I only know how to inspire, I don't know how to fight, once the war starts, how is it good?" ”

Zhijing slowly shook the pu fan, but didn't speak, Li Xiaoqi looked at the sheep's feet on the surface and only focused on the sheep's feet in the saucer, but in fact, he listened intently to the words of the two, this filial piety queen, is it a great character, Ning'an slaughtered the city, is it like Yangzhou for ten days? The most incomprehensible thing is the slaughter of the city, the fight has been defeated, and then killed and robbed, and the robbers are killed, aren't they all their own people and money? It's boring.
