"We know late, Kaiping Mansion should have already issued a copy of the official document, and those who take the martial arts examination are few poor and rich are too late, so it's too late." Li Xiaoqi drank peanut soup and replied with a smile: "Poor and rich in martial arts, I thought about this a while ago, it would be good if this martial arts could be tested earlier, this martial arts scholar came out, just pull it out and use it." Luo Yan didn't know what to hear, Danyue blinked twice, and said with a smile: "Then let's hurry back, otherwise it will be so scary for the soldiers to panic." ”

"Well, take pen and ink, I'll write a letter." Li Xiaoqi drank the peanut soup and ordered, Begonia took the bowl, Danyue and Luo Yan were busy taking out the paper and pen, grinding the ink, and laying out the golden chestnut paper, Li Xiaoqi grabbed the pen and adjusted the breath, thought for a while, and slowly wrote: "The letter is received, the martial arts are in advance, and this martial artist can be released to experience one or two when he comes out, the prince is really wise!" I plan to rush back to see Brother Shui take the exam, enter Beiping in ten days, and then return directly to Kaiping Mansion, and wait for you in Huaiyang for a long time. After writing, I picked it up and frowned and read it again, until it was a last resort, she really didn't want to lift the pen, this word was written, and the more I looked at it, the more I couldn't see it! Li Xiaoqi folded the letter, put it in an envelope and sealed it with a lacquer seal, called Xi'an in, and told him to send it out quickly.

Mr. Lin and Zhijing rented a courtyard with a large garden in Kaiping Mansion, settled down for a while, and sent people to keep an eye on King Ning's Mansion and King Liang's Mansion every day.

Dongping hurried all the way back to Kaiping Mansion, first went straight to Ning Wangfu to deliver Su Zicheng's message, received Su Ziyi's instructions, and then went out to rush back to Liang Wangfu, delayed for a long time, out of the side door of Liang Wangfu, went straight to Willow Hutong, Willow Hutong Li Mansion is also Wei Shuisheng at this time, Sister Zhang and Mrs. Sun have become relatives, and they have moved into their new houses to live, Li Erhuai and Zhang Tiemu are in the army, Sister Zhang and Mrs. Sun have just finished raising silkworms in Zhuangzi, and now they are taking Mrs. Sun to look around at the shop, If you want to open a small snack shop, it is rare for you to have time to go to Willow Hutong if you are busy, anyway, there are Mama Zhang and Wisteria and others watching in the house, Wei Shuisheng is going to Jingjiang Houfu to study literature during the day, and it doesn't matter if you go or not.

Dongping arrived at Willow Hutong, the porter was busy and respectfully stepped forward to greet him, today is also a coincidence, Mr. Fan rushed back the night before yesterday to make a dead wife, that is, the family was delayed for two more days, Wei Shuisheng took a day off in Jingjiang Hou Mansion today, and was next door to Mr. Fan Mansion to talk to relieve depression, Dongping secretly said that he was lucky, and hurriedly turned to the Fan Mansion next to him, and went in to accompany Mr. Fan and Wei Shuisheng to gossip for a long time, vaguely Li Xiaoqi made a great contribution in Taiping Mansion, and now he has left Taiping Mansion safely, and is on the way back to Kaiping Mansion, Mr. Fan breathed a long sigh of relief, twisted the rosary in his hand, closed his eyes and recited a few words of Buddha, since the New Year, he took refuge in Buddhism, but Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng and others took care of his body, and did not allow him to be vegan, he is also an open-minded person, and he is a vegetarian on the first and fifteenth days of the new year. Wei Shuisheng breathed a sigh of relief, stood up with a smile on his face, didn't speak, just slammed at Dongping to the end, and sat down again, Dongping was busy returning the salute, and chatted with the two for a long time before he said goodbye, went back to Liangwangfu and brought the chef Dayu, did not dare to delay, and set off to Huaiyang that night.

Mr. Lin got the report, pondered for a long time, and discussed with Zhijing in a low voice: "This person's name is Dongping, he is the first person to use next to Liang Wangye, he went to Ning Wangfu, this is common sense, back to Liang Wangfu, it is also common sense, what to do in Liushu Hutong?" Went in for more than two hours, you see, he arrived at the door of Ning Wang's Mansion at the end of the morning, came out, returned to Liang Wangfu after two quarters of an hour, came out at the end of the afternoon and went to the Willow Hutong, came out of the Willow Hutong, and left Kaiping Mansion at the end of the unitary period, you see, half of the time was delayed in the Willow Hutong, this place must be the most important place. ”

"Well, to put it mildly, these little guys are the best at figuring out the master's preferences and intentions, and they have spent all this effort in the willow alley, this willow alley must be the most important place in King Liang's heart, or there are people or things, do you find out the ins and outs of this family?" Zhijing shook the futon in agreement.

"It sounds like ordinary, the two houses are two families even one, I heard that the original mountain bandits were which place, attached to the king of Liang, and followed the king of Liang into the Kaiping Mansion to settle down, this group of mountain bandits said that there are dozens of people, there are several big surnames in it, one surname Li, one surname Wei, one surname Fan, and one surname Zhang, and many female dependents, surnamed Fan has read books, is a military advisor, now in addition to female dependents, half of these mountain bandits are farming in Zhuangzi outside the city, half into the Fourth Army, I heard that the surname Li made a command, fragmentary, I don't hear anything useful. Mr. Lin was a little irritable, and Zhijing laughed: "Why is there nothing useful?" A nest of mountain bandits, just such an idea, and they don't have any great skills, but they can let King Liang personally bring them back to Kaiping Mansion, and they also become commanders! How many weird things are in the middle, and they are not useful? Seeing this, I reckoned that the cause must be in these women! Let people inquire carefully, among the mountain bandits, are there any female dependents who have entered the Liang Palace! ”

"That's right!" Mr. Lin flapped the folding fan in his hand again and again, raised his voice and called a few people to come in and gave instructions carefully.

Two days after Shui Yan's letter was sent to the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, the joint excerpt of Yu Yuanshan and others was also copied to the desk of the Marquis of Anyuan.

Shui Yan was affectionate and respectful all the way, and led Jingjiang Hou into the inner study, An Yuanhou sent the little girl waiting in the house, and handed Shui Yan's letter and the excerpt of Yu Yuanshan and others to Jingjiang Hou: "Look at this, the excerpt will take two or three days to be submitted, this is Erlang asked someone to copy it and hand it over quickly." Jingjianghou took the letter and the excerpt, read it at a glance and ten lines, read it carefully, handed the letter and the excerpt to An Yuanhou and asked, "What does the eldest brother mean?" ”

"There is some truth in what Erlang said, these two children have grown up, and they know that paying attention to everything and focusing on the details is better than anything else!" An Yuanhou gently patted Shui Yan's letter and said with relief, Jingjiang Hou turned his head to look at Shui Li, who was sitting next to him, and gently patted him with a folding fan and smiled: "You have a son like this, it is gratifying, Da Lang is relaxed, and casual, talk to his own family, feel free!" Don't be so meticulous. Shui Li smiled respectfully, moved his body, or sat upright, Jingjiang Hou smiled helplessly and shook his head, An Yuanhou looked at his son with love and satisfaction in his eyes, waved his hand and smiled: "Leave him alone, he followed the uncle, and he has already learned such a decent character, what Erlang said has some truth, this Li family Xiaowu, it is indeed not to be underestimated, but this is a trivial matter, this joint excerpt is a big deal!" An Yuanhou raised the fold and shook it and said, Jingjiang Hou nodded approvingly: "This fold is up before Enke again, once it is presented, I am afraid that one stone will hit a thousand waves!" ”

"Well, let's get this fold first, this is the first hand, this subject, the Guo family is up and down, this action is too big." An Yuanhou answered, Shui Li bowed slightly, and took over the words: "The Guo family's actions, the uncle saw it in his eyes, and he was very angry, saying that the imperial examination is a national talent ceremony, and it is not a family name to covet. Jingjiang Hou clapped his hands with a folding fan, and said with a face full of approval: "This is what Lao Cheng said about the country, and the uncle said it!" ”

"Well, this fold came at the right time! Our Beiping has gone through several generations of Ming Jun, the accumulation has been thick, from the first filial piety, began to plan to open up the territory and merge the territory, the second master is even more blue, but two years, on the merger of Beining and Liangdi. When An Yuanhou said this, as if he thought of something, he turned his head to look at his son Shui Li, who was busy owing his body, and said with a smile: "The reason for the advance of the martial arts is indeed because the second master wants to use troops, and I heard the uncle say that the second master has set off to transfer troops along Rucheng and Huaiyang, and is ready to send troops from Huaiyang to Huainan Road when the war between Chizhou and Taiping Mansion is in full swing, and seize Huainan Road to fight the land and sea routes to the south." The Marquis of Jingjiang listened to the excitement and almost danced, An Yuanhou twisted his beard and smiled: "Take the Huainan Road, one can encroach on the land of Wu, and the other can take the land of Jing and Jing, and the unification of the world in Beiping is just around the corner!" Our Shui family has to keep up with the pace of the uncle and the second master, look at things and see people must not be confined to one place and one house, this vision should be relaxed and far-reaching, one comes and goes, the country employs a lot of people, and secondly, the uncle and the second master must gather the hearts of the world's scholars, and it is necessary to regard the world's scholars regardless of region and origin. ”

"What the eldest brother said is very true, it should be like this!" Jingjiang Hou hurriedly patted the folding fan in agreement, Shui Yan glanced at Shui Yan's letter, hesitated and said: "If anyone mentions the credit of the Li family's trip to the Taiping Mansion??????

"It's okay, firstly, the trip of the Li family's junior five to the Taiping Mansion is unknown, and it is impossible to say, secondly, this is the second master's family affairs, we can't meddle in the family affairs of the uncle and the second master, this is a big taboo." An Yuanhou said firmly, Shui Li thought about it, nodded with a smile, Jingjiang Hou seemed to think of something, looked at Shui Li and asked: "Erlang went to Yuanfeng City to inquire about the second master's marriage, did he have a reply?" Shui Li replied with a wry smile on his face: "How can there be a reply, the uncle also wrote four or five letters to urge him to ask about this matter, and the second master did not reply a word, he said before leaving, he had to arrange this matter by himself, and the uncle now has to help him perfunctory in the palace, look at this, this family matter has to wait until the second master receives Huainan Road and comes back!" This drag, another half a year! ”

"Alas, the second master has been such an eccentric since he was a child, and it seems that he has become more and more eccentric in the past two years, but the uncle has a good temperament, square and gentle, and ?????? in the future Alas, it is enough for the ministers! Jingjianghou sighed and complained, An Yuanhou frowned, looked at his younger brother and warned in a low voice: "Be careful! This is not something that courtiers can discuss! Don't say anything like that again! Jingjiang Hou hurriedly nodded in agreement.
