Chapter 9 The Wind Rises and the End of the Wind

Shen Pozi fish is very good, especially the roasted fish head and fish tail, which is extremely delicious, Li Xiaoqi suspects that she has been rich in the past, Shen Pozi is the same as her, she loves to eat fish head and fish tail, for this, Shen Pozi is not less emotional, there are countless sadness in the emotion, not mentioning herself, but only saying that Li Xiaoqi is rich and noble.

Li Xiaoqi nested in Mrs. Shen's house and ate the fishtail slowly, listening to Mrs. Shen's nagging: "This girl's family, but you have to hold on, look at this Liu Niangzi, what is this?" People are not ghosts, they are not ghosts. ”

"Brother Huang, didn't he marry Mrs. Liu?" Li Xiaoqi said vaguely, and Mrs. Shen glanced at Li Xiaoyi:

"What is this called? Three media and six hires, from the grass post to the full moon ceremony, there are many ceremonies to be passed in the middle, the more comprehensive the number of gifts, the more valuable and complete the dowry, the more noble the girl's family, the louder the marriage in the past, the girl's family marries, it can be like this once in a lifetime, you see, this Liu Niangzi, even a sedan chair did not sit on! just went to a bed, then Huang Da said to her, you see, she will beat and scold, she will scold, she didn't ask for it? Well, what's the matter? This Liu lady, but saying that a wife is a wife, and a concubine is also a concubine! ”

"No one else is to blame for this." Li Xiaoqi muttered in a low voice:

"That's it, where is the blame for others? If you want to blame, you can only blame her father, alas, her father, a pair of bastards and fools! Look at it, that Liu Er, you know that you eat and drink to death, Mrs. Liu, alas, the girl follows her mother, this is true, this Huang Da is a deep thought, this Liu Niangzi understands a little, and since then she has been living with Huang Da with all her heart, and Huang Da can't treat her badly, you see, confused, right? You have slept with someone else and married, and you still think about others in your heart, if you are in a big family with strict rules, you will sink into the pond! No wonder Huang beat her! Speaking of which, it's really not Huang Da's fault, last night, Huang Da brought a bottle of wine, and even the dishes were prepared by Liu Niangzi! ”

"How do you know?" Li Xiaoqi hurriedly swallowed the fish meat in his mouth, asked with wide eyes, Shen Pozi coughed uncomfortably, walked to the door and looked around:

"My sister, grandma said to you, don't be as stupid as Liu Niangzi in the future, that day you and your brother went to see the light and didn't come back, I got older, this light also saw more, but I didn't have the spirit to see, so I closed the door to do needlework, it didn't take long for the palm lamp to come, then Liu Er came back, Huang Da took a pair of cards to greet him, said that it was the brand of Hu Jifen tea shop, someone else gave him, he made an appointment with someone else to eat and drink, and he couldn't go, so he gave Liu Er, that Liu Er was greedy for this stuttering, took the sign and left, alas!" Shen Pozi sighed: "How can there be a cheap advantage in this world, Huang Da watched Liu Er go out, picked up a dead wind lamp from the house and hung it at the gate of the courtyard, took a bottle of wine and entered the door of Liu's house, Liu Niangzi came out once in the middle, her face was red, and she was hugged back by Huang Da from behind as soon as she went out, and then after that, Liu Pozi came back, the light in the house has never been extinguished, you see, this Huang Da has a heart. ”

Li Xiaoqi ate the fish slowly, pondered, and looked at Mrs. Shen thoughtfully, Mrs. Shen stretched out her hand and nodded Li Xiaomi's forehead, and laughed: "This girl is smart!" Grandma likes you to be so smart! This Huang Da has already calculated, and he doesn't know what to say to deceive Liu Niangzi to eat wine with him, but that Liu Niangzi is stupid like that, and it is easy to deceive, spent a few dollars, and sent Liu Er to Hu Ji to eat and drink, this is not counted, you see, he hung a lantern at the gate of the courtyard first, and the lights in the house were not extinguished, he just wanted people to watch, he slept in Liu Niangzi's house, and Liu Niangzi had to marry him! ”

Li Xiaoqi spit out the fish bones in his mouth: "This Huang Daken is so calculating, he should also have a heart for Liu Niangzi, since he married Liu Niangzi, why shouldn't he be better to her?" ”

"Hearted?" Mrs. Shen shook her head while laughing, laughed for a while, sighed heavily, looked at Li Xiaoqi, and solemnly confessed: "Sister, you can listen well, if this man is really good to you, that is, he respects you everywhere, and everything follows the rules. Don't be fooled by all that rhetoric! ”

"Grandma, don't worry! In the future, if any man dares to calculate me like Huang Da, I will make him a eunuch! ”

Mrs. Shen laughed out loud with a 'poof', and stepped forward to knock on Li Xiaoyi's head: "You dead girl, you know what a eunuch is!" This is not what the girl's family should say, but you can't talk nonsense, the girl's family, reputation is the most important! ”

That night, in the middle of the night, the courtyard door was suddenly knocked hard, screaming to open the door, Li Xiaoqi woke up suddenly, hurriedly dressed, grabbed the purse containing silver and tied it around his waist, jumped out of bed, ran to the window to look outside.

Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng and others have already gotten up and opened the door, Huang Yuanshan also went out of the house while wearing clothes, seven or eight officers and soldiers came in the courtyard, the chief of security held a booklet in his arms, followed closely behind and also entered the courtyard, the chief of the security guard lit the houses, one by one said who lived and where it came from, the leading officers and soldiers listened to the words of the chief of security, and motioned a few soldiers to enter the houses to check it out, Li Xiaoqi seemed to be extremely timid and shrunk on the bed, the soldiers came in with torches, looked at Li Xiaoyi, grinned, turned around and went out.

After a while, the small courtyard was searched, and a group of officers and soldiers poured in like a tide, and then retreated.

Huang Yuanshan watched Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng bolt to the courtyard door, the people in the courtyard went back separately, Li Xiaoqi stood at the door of the inner room with his shoes in tow, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's the Assassins." Li Erhuai's face was excited, and while listening to the movement outside with his ears sideways, he continued to guess: "Listen, the movement outside is very big, this assassin must be powerful, maybe it is the emperor who stabbed him, otherwise how can there be such a big movement?!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense! It's a terrible thing! When you go out tomorrow, no one is allowed to talk nonsense! Hear no! Li Zongliang had a cold face, looked at everyone and commanded, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly nodded and agreed: "I will definitely be obedient." ”

Li Erhuai shrunk his neck and muttered in a low voice: "I'll just tell you, anyway, I'll be with you every day, and I won't ask." ”

Wei Shuisheng motioned for Li Xiaoqi to go back to sleep, turned off the lights, and listened attentively to Li Zongliang for a long time, until it was quiet in all directions, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and lay down to sleep.

The next day, the entire Taiping Mansion began to be lively before dawn, as if the search at night was a dream.

As soon as Li Xiaoqi sold a few copies of Ejiao dates, the shopkeeper Zheng beckoned to her: "Xiaoqi, come here, come here." ”

Li Xiaoqi hurriedly came over with the tray, and the shopkeeper Zheng reached out to take the tray in Li Xiaoyi's hand: "Master Zhijing is in the car outside, tell you to go over and say something, go quickly, I will help you collect the things." ”

Li Xiaoqi was surprised, he had been pushed out by the shopkeeper Zheng, outside Changfeng Building, there was a large and delicate paulownia cart parked, Zhijing lifted the curtain and beckoned to her with a smile.

Li Xiaoqi hurriedly took two steps forward, jumped into the car, Zhijing and Mr. Lin sat on the left and right in the car, Li Xiaoqi half-knelt, straightened to salute, sat down on his knees, and looked at the two of them suspiciously, although Zhijing said that he was still smiling, but there was a hint of heaviness in his smile, Mr. Lin's face was extremely gray, lazily leaning on the back pillow, looking at Li Xiaoyi, and said straightforwardly: "Xiaoqi, Zhijing and I will leave for southern Sichuan in the afternoon, you come with me, this Taiping Mansion will not be too peaceful in the future, come with me." ”

Li Xiaoqi was stunned, and subconsciously shook his head: "Thank you, sir, I want to be with my brothers." ”

"You and your brother come with me, I will arrange a way for them to come from, you can rest assured, I will not treat you and your brother badly." Zhijing squinted his eyes, raising his mind without saying a word, Mr. Lin paused, and then said: "Girl, come with me, Zhijing and I have left this Taiping Mansion, who else can protect you, follow me, you will be older in a few years, if you are willing to follow me, I will not treat you badly, if you are not willing to accompany me as an old man, I will prepare a dowry and send you out like a daughter." ”

Li Xiaoqi just came to his senses, and was stunned by what Mr. Lin said, he already knew that he was a daughter? ! Alas! Sure enough, he couldn't hide it from the discerning person, Li Xiaoqi looked at Mr. Lin and shook his head firmly: "Thank you, sir, I can protect myself, everyone has their own ambitions, my brother and I are not willing to be attached to others, thank you Mr. for your love." ”

Li Xiaoqi paused, looked at Mr. Lin with a disappointed face, was silent for a moment, turned his head to look at Zhijing, and suddenly asked, "Last night, the Taiping Mansion searched for assassins, did anyone die?" ”

Zhi Jing opened his eyes fiercely, collected the smile on his face, looked straight at Li Xiaoyi, was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Su Zicheng was assassinated, I heard that he was injured." ”

"Didn't the princess and the concubine leave the Taiping Mansion after leaving Beiping Kingdom? It wasn't assassinated in the Taiping Mansion, how did he fall in the Taiping Mansion and search for the assassin? Is this also the reason why the gentleman is in such a hurry to set off? Li Xiaoqi simply asked directly, Zhi Jing straightened up, stared at Li Xiaoqi for a while, turned his head to look at Mr. Lin, and said hesitantly: "The guards of the Beiping Kingdom chased the assassin all the way, saying that they watched the assassin escape into the Taiping Mansion, and I set off with Mr. Lin because of this, not because of this." ”

Zhijing sighed softly, paused, and looked at Li Xiaoyi: "Girl, do you also feel that there are big twists and turns in the middle?" This is not simple, implicated in a wide range of people, but I am afraid that each family can not be less, Mr. Lin and I do not want to make chips for others, but if people must use them as chips, and can not do it, rather than being in a dilemma, it is better to escape. ”
