A few days later, Mrs. Sun took a fancy to a house, Tiemu rushed back and glanced at it a few times, everything was good, Sister Zhang didn't dare to say more, Zhang Gouzi and Zhao Liushun helped to Kaiping Mansion to set up a deed, and began to repair and clean everywhere.

There are still two or three days before December, Lu Hua and his party arrived at Kaiping Mansion, early this morning, Li Xiaoqi sat in the east wing, listening to the movement outside with his ears, and after a while, he heard Dongping's respectful voice coming: "Uncle Lu, please here." ”

Li Xiaoqi hurriedly jumped up, tiptoed to the window, looked out through the thin window crack, Dongping walked in front with a slight sideways body, and led a tall and sturdy middle-aged man in, the man was wearing a royal blue silk dark pattern fox fur cloak, his steps were steady, and the navy blue robe inside was exposed during his actions, and his face was four or five points like Lu Feng's, not like the grinning and indifference on Lu Feng's face, Lu Hua's face was square, and his expression was calm and serious, and the whole person looked full of momentum. Lu Feng followed his brother without squinting, his whole body was full of flying and shrugged down, and he didn't know where he was lying down, his usual tiredness, laziness and that no one cared about it were all gone all of a sudden, looking at him as a gentle and elegant countless good young man, Li Xiaoqi raised his eyebrows high, almost laughing out loud, no wonder Lu Feng looked like that when he mentioned his eldest brother, it seemed that he was really scared.

When Lu Hua walked under the window of the east wing, his footsteps seemed to pause, and his eyes swept sharply towards the crack in the window, Li Xiaoqi was startled, and hurriedly held his breath and flashed out of the window, and stood for a moment before reacting, the house was so dark, where could he see the house clearly? Li Xiaoqi exhaled softly, no wonder Lu Feng was afraid of him, it was really not simple, this Heavenly Master's home was worthy of its reputation.

Lu Hua went in for a full hour or two, together with Lu Feng, half a step behind, and followed Su Zicheng out, Lu Hua and Su Zicheng laughed happily, Lu Feng followed behind in a regular and honest manner, and went out of the hanging flower door, Li Xiaoqi opened the window wider, and aimed at the three of them from a distance, but he didn't dare to stick to the window to take a closer look.

The three of them went out, and they didn't come back until the evening, Li Xiaoqi slowly packed up his things, ready to go back, just out of the gate of Liang Wangfu, a brocade coat and brocade hat, dark and bright eyes, flexible and unusual little guy rode a horse, jumped off the horse neatly at the gate, and went straight to Li Xiaoyi. The small one is the second master's little house, our second master is the second master Lu, the second master sent a bag to the fifth master, and the small one went to Willow Hutong and didn't find the fifth master, the little one was lucky, so coincidentally met the fifth master here. Luo Yu said while holding a very small box in his hand, Li Xiaoqi took the box, before he could speak, Luo Yu continued: "Our second master asked the little one to say to the fifth master, and then went to see the fifth master, our second master also asked the little one to say to the fifth master, everything was fine on the road, and he was not very tired, but he followed the master all the way, the second master said that the fifth master knew, and it was sad to follow the uncle, and the second master also said••••••"

Li Xiaoqi laughed out loud, what kind of master is what kind of little guy there is! Li Xiaoqi interrupted Luo Yu's words and asked, "You are Second Master Lu's little servant, and you came with Uncle this time?" ”

"Back to the fifth master's words, yes! There are four of us guys, two of us are here this time, and there are two ••••••" Luo Yu asked a question and answered ten, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly raised his hand to stop his words, and hurriedly asked, "What's in this box?" ”

"Back to the fifth master, the little one doesn't know, our master didn't say anything, only let the little one have to hand it over to the fifth master, saying that the fifth master will know it when he sees it, saying that it is an old account owed before, and our master also said ••••••"

"I know, Luoyu, your name is so good, the second master gave it to you?"

"Back to the fifth master, no, the second master originally called Brother Parrot, saying that it is best to use this name for the small one, but our lady hates to use birds and flies the most, there is a reason here, it is said that the second master was born, and the old lady gave him a life, saying that he couldn't commit flying immortals outside the sky, why is it not good to be small, I don't know, just ••••••like this" Li Xiaoqi raised his hand to cover his forehead, and was amazed when he heard it, Lu Feng has always been impressive, he is a little guy, it is simply amazing, how can there be such a rapping person? Where did Lu Feng find such a living treasure? Li Xiaoqi laughed while stopping Luoyu's words and ordered: "Okay, thank you for this trip, go back and tell your second master, the fifth master is fine, he will come over to talk when he is free, there is nothing to do, you go back quickly." ”

"Yes! When the little one went back, he told our master that the fifth master was fine, and if our master was free, he would come to talk to the fifth master. ”

"That's it, let's go back quickly." Li Xiaoqi hurriedly nodded in response, Luoyu shook it to the end, took two steps back, pulled the horse, turned over neatly and ran out on the horse, Li Xiaoqi exhaled in amazement, got into the car with the box and sat down, opened the box, and saw a stack of silver tickets neatly placed inside, and a piece of paper was placed on the silver ticket, with a few words written on it: "The silver has been returned!" Ha ha! Li Xiaoqi shook his head with a smile, nodded, and sure enough, it was 10,000 taels of silver, Li Xiaoqi shook the silver ticket and thought about it for a long time, took out 3,000 taels and put it back in the box, and stuffed the other 7,000 taels into his purse in one place.

The car returned to Willow Hutong, Li Xiaoqi held the box and went straight into the flower hall, Yueting saw Xiaoqi come in, hurriedly packed up the needle and thread, and ran out without saying a word, Mrs. Fan looked at her, gritted her teeth and didn't know what to say, Li Xiaoqi smiled and pulled Mrs. Fan to sit down, and handed the box over: "Sister, here is three thousand taels of silver, sister take it, one to supplement the family, if there is a surplus, just do the family affairs of Brother Erhuai decently, it is the first happy event in our family." ”

"Where did you get the money?" Mrs. Fan opened the box and took a look, looked at Li Xiaoqi suspiciously, and asked, "Now it's not as good as the mountain, this silver?" ”

"The silver is fine, my sister can use it with confidence." Li Xiaoqi replied with a smile, paused for a moment, looked outside the door and said with a smile: "Yueting is eighteen this year, right?" I remember that she is older than Mingwan, and she will be nineteen in the New Year, did Aunt Yan take a fancy to her in-laws? ”

"Not yet," Mrs. Fan replied a little uncomfortably: "Nineteen is not too big, the girl here in Beiping got married later than our Wu Guo, by the way, I can't see you for a while, you will be eighteen after the New Year, and you have to worry about your own affairs." ”

Li Xiaoyi's face turned cold, stood up, gently brushed his robe, looked at Mrs. Fan, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if I marry or not, what kind of life I want to live, what kind of life I want to live, can she do it?" You are also a person who has read books, you have not seen it, you should have heard and seen it, people can be compared? For example, Mr. Fan, can the porter old Yuan compare with Mr.? Whether it is the mother's family or the mother-in-law's family, obedience must be reasonable. Mrs. Fan's face turned pale when she heard this, Li Xiaoqi put her hands behind her back, squinted at her, was silent for a moment, and then said: "From today on, Yueting and Aunt Yan are not allowed to step into Li's house for half a step, and if you are too idle, you will have to make trouble, from next month, Sister Zhang's degree will be attributed to me, first cut all the degrees on the needlework room of Fan's house, and in the future, make your own clothes." Li Xiaoqi looked at Mrs. Fan, who was biting her lip, took two steps back and walked to the door, paused, turned to look at Mrs. Fan, and said slowly: "Look, if I am unhappy for a while, I can make her uncomfortable for at least a year, can she?" Let's talk about when she can protect herself from being embarrassed. ”

Mrs. Fan's tears rolled in her eyes, her lips trembled and she couldn't say a word, Li Xiaoqi looked at her silently, and said in a low voice for a while: "I'll send a letter tomorrow to let the eldest brother and Mr. Fan come back." With that, he turned around and walked out of the flower hall and went straight back to the half-acre garden.

After entering the courtyard gate, he greeted Liuyun and ordered: "Go and call Zhang Gouzi and Zhao Liushun to come and see me." Liuyun looked at Li Xiaoyi's face was not good, hurriedly agreed, turned sideways to let Li Xiaoqi go, and hurriedly ran out to call someone. Not long after, Zhang Gouzi and Zhao Liushun rushed in, greeted the salute with a smile, and reported with a smile: "Fifth master, we are lucky, at this time, we have found a few carpenters with excellent craftsmanship, and the things they have made are really speechless!" ”

"Well, if it's really good, just leave them, we have a lot of things to do, you two have worked hard for a while, but you have to work harder." Li Xiaoqi said with a smile, and Zhang Gouzi hurriedly promised: "The fifth master just commands!" What's so hard about this? It's not hard! It's all a happy event, this is our eldest sister and Brother Temu's business, not our own business! ”

"Well, according to that, this is also your own business, and by the way, the New Year is over, and you will get married in February next year, and this house or something will be handed over to the two of you." Li Xiaoqi instructed with a smile, Zhang Gouzi and Zhao Liushun looked at Li Xiaoqi blankly, and asked cautiously after a while: "Fifth master, Shuncai got married, and you also want to buy a house?" ”

"Well, buy it according to Tiemu's house, and furniture or something, also according to Tiemu, don't be good, can't be bad, how much silver will be used, you go directly to me to withdraw it, tomorrow the dog will go to the Huwei camp, tell Shuncai about this, ask him, his house furniture or something, let Mingwan and Sister-in-law Wu look at it."

"Hey!" Zhang Gouzi agreed crisply, Li Xiaoqi looked at him and Zhao Liushun, and said with a smile: "You have followed the fifth master and me, and you have worked hard all these years, the fifth master can't treat you badly, and in the future, you and Liushun, as well as the fifth brother, are all like this." Zhang Gouzi's face was flushed, and he stabbed Zhao Liushun, and without waiting for Li Xiaoqi to react, the two of them fell to the ground and kowtowed and got up neatly, and said with a smile: "I'll just say, it won't be wrong to follow the fifth master!" ”
