"Second Master Shui also said the same thing to me vaguely today." Wei Shuisheng smiled, Li Xiaoqi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Second Master Shui is sincere." As he spoke, he called Qingcheng to come in and change the hot tea, the two talked and laughed and gossiped for a while, Wei Shuisheng told Li Xiaoqi to rest early, get up and go back to his yard.

In the study room in King Ning's mansion, Su Zicheng and Su Ziyi stood side by side in front of the entire map on the west wall of the study, pointing to the map and talking to his brother about his plan for the battle on Huainan Road, Su Ziyi listened attentively, and asked a sentence or two of details from time to time, the two of them said that the twilight outside the window was falling, and the dim map in the house could not even be seen clearly, Su Ziyi patted his younger brother's shoulder appreciatively and said with a smile: "It has been honed, if you can take down Huainan Road along the line of Suzhou, Sizhou, Zhenzhou, and Runzhou, the four states will be stationed, connected into a line, and you can attack and retreat and defend. Huainan Road can be held steadily, and after taking down Huainan Road, the officials must hurry up to keep up, and stabilize people's hearts. Su Ziyi said, raised his voice and called the little guy to come in and light the lamp and candle, the little guy lit the lamp and candle, changed the hot tea and came up, and retreated to the door with his hand down.

Su Zicheng sat on the armchair, took a few sips of tea with a cup and said with a smile: "Xiao Qi suggests that after taking down Huainan Road, a subject will be opened immediately, and the old officials of various states and counties will be allowed to refer to it, and Huainan Road will use this subject to take the small officials, I think this idea is excellent, and the eldest brother will send a few people from the Ministry of Officials to preside over this exam after a while." Su Ziyi was stunned and asked, "If you don't open Enke, what kind of official exam will you make?" ”

"The meaning of the small one, the scholars are clear and righteous, pay attention to integrity, we took the Huainan Road, reduce the grace, let the scholars see that we put the people first, is the lord of Qingming, this is to give them a step and reason to belong, this is the time, should not be too hasty, so after taking down the Huainan Road, it is not appropriate to rush to open Enke, as for the small officials, one end is connected to the official, the other end is followed by the people in the market, can not enter the scholars and the like, these people are heavy and profitable, in fact, the people only want a stable and prosperous day, as for who is the emperor, but not much care, Therefore, it is more conducive to winning the hearts of the people by opening the official examination, and after the official examination, these small officials will be filled in the yamen of various states and counties, and our officials will be sent over again. Su Zicheng explained carefully, Su Ziyi listened intently, while slowly drinking tea, after listening to Su Zicheng, he looked him up and down a few times and asked with a smile: "You can't think of such a detail, this is Li Xiaoyi's words?" ”

"Well," Su Zicheng nodded and admitted, Su Ziyi sighed: "This girl is smart and natural, the trip to the Taiping Mansion, borrowing the wind to raise fire, I didn't expect her to force Lin Cheng to death, she is so quick to change, accurate in judging the situation, people are amazed and convinced, it is your blessing to have her help." ”

"Big brother, I was about to discuss this matter with you," Su Zicheng put down the cup, looked at Su Ziyi and said solemnly, Su Ziyi hurriedly signaled him to say, Su Zicheng thought about it, and then said cautiously: "Big brother also knows that the current situation in Wu Kingdom, as well as Huainan Road, Xiao Mi has made great contributions, although she is a daughter, and the trip to Taiping Mansion cannot be publicized, but she must be rewarded for this great achievement." ”

"Didn't you say that you would reward him with gold and silver?" Su Ziyi asked a little strangely, a trace of embarrassment flashed on Su Zicheng's face, Su Ziyi raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "She refuses?" ”

"No•••••• no, where would she refuse, I don't think it's appropriate, this merit should not be paid with gold and silver, I mean, according to her credit, it is not too much to be named a lady." Su Zicheng vaguely vaguely understood Li Xiaoyi's attitude, Su Ziyi raised his eyebrows, slanted at Su Zicheng, thought about it and smiled: "Madame is a little too much, I think, if you really think that the seal is appropriate, just start with the third lady." ”

"That's it!" Su Zicheng hurriedly agreed: "This number, let's call it Hui'an, smart and peaceful." ”

"Wisdom is wisdom, but tranquility is not." Su Ziyi looked at Su Zicheng and said in a slow whisper, Su Zicheng picked up the cup and drank the tea, but pretended not to hear, the two brothers drank a few sips of tea in silence, Su Ziyi asked with a smile: "The relatives of the Guo family, what are you going to do?" Su Zicheng seemed to have heard something disgusting and annoying, his face flashed with irritability, and he didn't look at Su Ziyi, put the cup on the table, and said impatiently: "This Guo family is too restless!" ”

"Well, it's not a big deal." Su Ziyi's tone was indifferent: "And Li Xiaoyi, have you made up your mind?" ”

"Almost, wait for Xiao Mi to enter the mansion and then mention the Guo family's family affairs." Su Zicheng lowered his eyelids, but said in a very blunt tone, Su Ziyi's brows were almost twisted into one place: "You give her a seal from the third grade, and then let her go into the house, and then you •••••• in the backyard"

"The third lady of the Guo family wants to learn from her mother everywhere, although painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, it can be seen that it is not a worry-free person, and the Guo family is so self-conscious, and it can be more comfortable if there is a small pressure!" Su Zicheng continued to say bluntly, Su Ziyi looked at Su Zicheng with a solemn gaze, and was silent for a long time before asking, "Then when do you plan to take Li Xiaoqi into the mansion?" Su Zicheng's face was irritable, he hung his head and picked up the cup, threw the empty cup on a few more, and called for someone to make tea, the little guy hurriedly rushed in to make tea for the two of them, and watched the little guy exit the study door, Su Ziyi paused for a long time before asking slowly: "You haven't told her yet?" Su Zicheng blocked his throat in one breath, pursed his mouth tightly and said nothing, not saying yes, not saying no, Su Ziyi sighed worriedly, looked at Su Zicheng and said in a low voice: "The affairs of the Guo family can't be dragged all the time, Guo Sanniang is not small, and it won't matter if it drags on any longer, my father has urged it several times." ”

"If she can't wait, let her marry first, their Guo family has a lot of girls, and then choose another one!" Su Zicheng lowered his head and said extremely irresponsibly, Su Ziyi choked on a sip of tea and put it in his throat, pointing at Su Zicheng for a long time before he spoke: "Then you are not small!" Su Zicheng hung his head and didn't answer Su Ziyi's words, Su Ziyi stared at him for a long time, sighed, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, you have established such a heart, don't delay, hurry up and find a suitable time to carry Li Xiaoqi into the house, not for others, but you are not young!" ”

Su Zicheng didn't answer, his head hung down as if it was lower, and there was a faint drop in his body, Su Ziyi looked at Su Zicheng inexplicably, and couldn't guess what he was thinking for a while.

Li Xiaoqi sent Wei Shuisheng away, went to the backyard to see Mrs. Shen, asked about her life carefully, talked with her for a long time, and told the little girl to wait well, and when she came back to eat, she could finally rest peacefully.

Wisteria sent a bowl of red date soup in, Li Xiaoqi took it and drank it, rinsed his mouth, took the book and read it for a while, suddenly remembered that Mingwan hadn't asked about it in detail, so he hurriedly put down the book, retreated from the little girl waiting in the house, left Wisteria alone, beckoned her to sit on the edge of the bed and asked in a low voice: "Mingwan, what's going on, you tell me in detail." Wisteria sighed first: "Alas! It's the word 'unlucky', the girl knows, in and out of the year, Grandma Wu has been in Fan Da/Grandma ••••••"

"Just call her Mingwan, it's all grandma, and it's dizzy to hear." Li Xiaoqi interrupted Wisteria's words and said with a headache, Wisteria pursed his lips, couldn't help but smile, and hurriedly agreed: "Yes!" Grandma Wu has been busy in Mingwan's new house, a few days after the girl left, Grandma Wu said that her chest was tight, and then it was flank pain, and then it was pain when she inhaled, and people couldn't get out of bed. The girl forgives her sins, and she should report this to the girl as soon as she returns••••••"

"You get up and speak, first explain the matter clearly, and then it's not too late to ask for sin, and then talk." Li Xiaoqi raised his hand to signal Wisteria, Wisteria hurriedly stood up, sat on the edge of the bed again, and then said: "Mingwan took the silver and asked people to go out to buy ginseng, but this year's old ginseng is surprisingly expensive, the kind that Dr. Qian said about a hundred years, all have four or five hundred taels of silver, Mingwan can't make up the silver, so he asked us again, I discussed with Mama Zhang, the girl is a kind-hearted person, if the girl is at home, she will definitely refuse to stand still, so she gave Mingwan the old ginseng we saved." Wisteria looked at Li Xiaomi's face carefully as he spoke, Li Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, looked at Wisteria and asked, "When will we have old ginseng?" Wisteria's eyes widened, and she was almost choked by Li Xiaoyi's words: "The girl is really •••••• magnanimous, at the end of last year, didn't Nanning follow the order of the prince to send you an old mountain ginseng, and a bunch of other big supplements?" said that it was to see that the girl's face was not good, and I was afraid that you would be tired, so I asked you to make up for it. ”

"Oh! I remembered that you and Mama Zhang did the right thing about this, no matter how valuable things are, they are not as valuable as people, you continued. Li Xiaoqi suddenly realized, waved his hand and commanded, Wisteria blinked, swallowed saliva and continued: "Mingwan got married at the earliest, this is the •••••• set by the girl" Li Xiaoqi nodded hurriedly to show approval.

"Grandma Wu ate most of an old mountain ginseng, and it was the day when Ming Wan got married, Mama Zhang and Mama Lu brought someone over to help, Grandma Wu was sick, Ming Wan was going to get married, the family had few people, and something happened in the chaos, Grandma Wu woke up in the afternoon, and there was only half of the old ginseng left, and only a few ginseng were left on the bedside, Ming Wan was anxious, and she rummaged through the yard regardless of it, and guess what's going on?" Wisteria looked at Li Xiaoqi and said angrily and with a smile: "The girl definitely can't think of it!" It turned out that the ginseng was taken to stew chicken soup by the Yueting girl! Ming Wan is also a powerful person, pulling Yueting's hair and beating it, causing a lot of trouble in the courtyard over there. Li Xiaoqi was dumbfounded when he heard this.
