Li Xiaoqi patiently listened to Mrs. Shen's words, Mrs. Shen seemed to remember something, and continued with a hint of mystery: "Only a month or two after Mrs. Xiao's sudden death, Prime Minister Lin Cheng decided on the girl of the Yang family, and it was decided that something happened that day, and this was the case that the house sent a lot of people out, and I was sent out that time. Listen to me, this has to start from the beginning," Li Xiaoqi hurriedly took a cup of tea and handed it to Shen Pozi, who was about to make a long speech, Shen Pozi took the cup and drank two sips of tea, and then said: "Xue Hua is about the same age as me, and the mansion that I entered with is all needlework, I am from a poor background, she is not, her father was originally a five-grade official, and then he made a mistake, anyway, there are a lot of twists and turns in the middle, she was born very ordinary, but she is doing a good needlework, so she has to rely on a good needlework to support herself, usually like to read books and read poems or something, Once let Mrs. Xiao see it, the two chatted about the book, chatted for a long time, Mrs. Xiao took pity on her, transferred her out of the sewing room to see the study, and often talked to her when she was idle. ”

Li Xiaoqi was moved when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What happened to Xue Hua here?" Did you survive? ”

"Nope! Do you want to survive? She rushed up like this, she didn't plan to come back alive, she stabbed her throat with scissors on the spot, and blood was splashed all over the house. Only then did I know that what Xue Hua said was true, this person who has read the book just understands, you see, Mrs. Xiao brought so many mothers-in-law and girls from her mother's house, and in the end, she desperately said a fair word for her, and it turned out to be only one Xue Hua, so I tell you, this girl is not credible, whether it is available or not, you can't see your background, you have to see if you are intimate or not, whether you respect you and obey you from the bottom of your heart, I think your girls are good, and those two grandmothers are good, they understand much better than me. Shen Pozi's words changed suddenly, Li Xiaoqi laughed when she heard it, and pushed Shen Pozi while laughing: "It turns out that Grandma has gone around in such a big circle to teach me a lesson!" ”

"What is a lesson for you, I think of Xue Hua and Mrs. Xiao, sad!" Mrs. Shen was pushed by Li Xiaoqi and shook and laughed, and while the two were talking and laughing, a little girl outside said a few words to Danyue, and Danyue hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Girl, Sister Wisteria asked people to report that Yu Yuanshan sent a congratulatory gift, and now I will meet you outside." ”

"Just say I'm not home!" Li Xiaoqi waved his hand without looking back, Danyue bent his knees and retreated, and just walked a few steps, he was called back by Li Xiaoqi: "Slow!" You wait first. Li Xiaoqi put a finger between his eyebrows, thought about it carefully, looked up at Danyue and ordered: "Please wait for him in the main hall, I will be there in a while." Danyue agreed to go out to pass the word, Li Xiaoqi let out a long sigh, looked at Shen Pozi and sighed: "I originally just wanted to make some money, withdraw and regress in a few years, and get away with the world, but at this time, I was supposed to be alone, but I ended up being alone, and I didn't even have a place to borrow a piece of silver. Li Xiaoqi sighed and stood up as she spoke, Shen Pozi looked at Li Xiaoqi inexplicably, Li Xiaoyi's words, she didn't understand very well, how did this borrowing money and forming a party get together? Forming a party? What is a clique?

"Grandma have a good rest, I'll go to see someone, what does Grandma want to eat, what she wants, just tell Mama Zhang, who dares to be disrespectful, you secretly tell me, you can't let Grandma suffer half a grievance here!" Li Xiaoqi stood up and explained, Shen Pozi also stood up with the armrest of the chair, and said with a smile while sending Li Xiaoqi to the outside of the courtyard: "Don't worry, you are good to me, no one in this mansion dares to wronged me, and it is too late for Ba to take it!" ”

Li Xiaoqi said goodbye to Mrs. Shen and came back, first went back to the half-acre garden to change her clothes, and came out to the main hall with wisteria and light moon.

Yu Yuanshan was sitting on the right chair in the main hall, and when he saw Li Xiaoqi coming in, he hurriedly stood up and bowed his hand, Li Xiaoqi took half a step to the side and said with a smile: "Lord Yu is polite, please take a seat." Yu Yuanshan politely, stood beside him with his hands down, watched Li Xiaoqi sit down on the top, and then carefully sat down sideways, and congratulated: "Congratulations to the fifth master." ”

"It's just a seal, but Lord Yu is now deeply respected by the prince and takes care of Liang's wealth, I want to congratulate Lord Yu on being talented." Li Xiaoqi smiled politely, Yu Yuanshan hurriedly bowed and smiled: "Thanks to the Fifth Master's teaching, if it weren't for the Fifth Master to teach us to experience the difficulties of the people's lives, we wouldn't be able to understand the true meaning of helping the world, it's all the Fifth Master's teaching." ”

"Lord Yu is serious••••••" Li Xiaoqi and Yu Yuanshan politely came and went, chatted for more than a quarter of an hour, Li Xiaoqi turned the topic to what he wanted to say: "•••••• talking about this business, I think of something, these days I am trying to raise a few taels of silver to do a few big business, I don't know if Lord Yu has a suitable person to introduce, however, I don't plan to let people buy shares in this business, this silver is borrowed, it is only a year, the annual interest rate is ten or fifteen, if it is a person who is familiar with Lord Yu, Just give it to others. Yu Yuanshan looked at Li Xiaoyi, with a sense of exploration in his eyes, Li Xiaoqi picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and explained indifferently: "You also know, our brothers and sisters did not go to Kaiping Mansion alone, when they came, they took a lot of brothers, although they have now become a family, but this industry has not yet been established, since the brothers have followed me, they naturally want them to live a good life, and take them to find a long-term way to make money, in addition to this, there are other things, all of them are silver, and the silver I have on hand has not been enough, That's when I started the idea of doing business, but you have to have capital to do business. Li Xiaoqi and Yu Yuanshan said homely, Yu Yuanshan hurriedly bowed and smiled: "This is the fifth master's righteousness, but also our blessing, if this silver is too much, I dare not say, 20,000 silver is not a big amount, the fifth master does not know, although I and Qian Qian Qian are poor, Tang Gongsun Tang Da's family is only well-off, but An is rich in Hai'an, the population of the An family is not large, for three generations, only to come out of An Daren a fame, An Daren from the dragon, the family put him in Kaiping Mansion house, put the old housekeeper here, If it is very convenient to use silver, I will go to the great butler of An. ”

"Isn't Lord An still in Liangdi?" Li Xiaoqi asked strangely, and Yu Yuanshan replied with a meaningful smile: "Although several of them are in Liangdi, they have entrusted me before they came, no matter what they do, just listen to the dispatch of the fifth master." Li Xiaoqi let out a soft 'oh', picked up the cup, and nodded with a smile while drinking tea: "Then it will bother Lord Yu." Yu Yuanshan's face was relaxed with joy, he stood up and arched his hand and said: "Then I will retire first, as early as today, or later tomorrow morning, and I will come back next morning." Li Xiaoqi then stood up, politely sent two steps, and instructed the mother-in-law standing at the door to send Yu Yuanshan out of the gate.

Shui Yan hurriedly arrived at the gate of Liang Wangfu, saw Su Ziyi's car was parked at the door, and rushed in, sure enough, Su Ziyi and Su Zicheng took several generals to close the door to discuss matters, Shui Yan had to enter the flower hall outside the Hanging Flower Gate, patiently drank tea and waited, waited for nearly an hour, the Hanging Flower Door was opened from the inside, not long, Su Zicheng accompanied Su Ziyi out of the Hanging Flower Gate, Shui Yan hurriedly greeted him out to meet the ceremony, Su Ziyi had a relaxed smile on his face, looked at Shui Yan and smiled: "Is there something wrong with the second master?" This trip should be careful, don't lose the face of your master. ”

"Uncle Xie teaches, uncle rest assured!" Shui Yan bowed and respectfully agreed, Su Ziyi gently patted Shui Yan's shoulder with a folding fan, turned his head and talked to Su Zicheng and walked out, Shui Yan followed cautiously and respectfully, sent Su Ziyi into the car, and then turned back behind Su Zicheng and entered the Hanging Flower Gate, Shui Yan turned his head to look, took half a step forward, and said in a low voice: "Second master, just after the fifth master said that there was an emergency, I went over." Su Zicheng's footsteps stopped suddenly, turned his head to stare at Shui Yan and asked, "What's wrong?" Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

"Don't worry, there's nothing urgent, it's not a big deal, it's just a matter of silver." Shui Yan hurriedly explained, and when Su Zicheng heard the silver, he turned his head a little uncomfortably, and asked as if relieved, "What's wrong with the silver?" Is she still short of silver? ”

"It's not just a shortage of silver, this urgent matter is to borrow 20,000 silver from me••••••

"It's only 20,000 silver, and you still have to tell me about it?" Su Zicheng frowned slightly and interrupted Shui Yan's words, Shui Yan swallowed in distress and explained: "If it is about 20,000 silver, why do you need to tell the master, I immediately asked the account office to bring the silver ticket to her, but she said •••••• she said that she wanted to do business." ”

"Well, I've heard her talk about business." Su Zicheng said indifferently with his hands behind his back, Shui Yanhu looked at Su Zicheng suspiciously and asked in a low voice: "Then she wants to open the hook bar, and the master also knows?" ”

"What? What's on? Su Zicheng shouted suddenly, Shui Yan hurriedly took half a step back, looked at Su Zicheng with a face full of disbelief, and nodded affirmatively: "Master heard right, Fifth Master, she wants to open a hook bar, and said that she wants to be the most skilled and best hook bar in the world, I have to come and ask the master to show me." Su Zicheng's chest rose and fell sharply in a few words, his face rose red, a girl's house, open the tick bar! What the hell is she trying to do?

"Don't lend her money! Don't borrow a tael! Su Zicheng gritted his teeth and pointed at Shui Yan and ordered, Shui Yan nodded with a wry smile, he guessed this before he came.
