Early the next morning, Li Xiaoqi changed his long shirt, looked around in front of the bronze mirror, ordered to take out a folding fan, and pretended to shake it in his hand, Haitang couldn't stop laughing: "Don't shake the girl, no matter how you shake it, it's the girl's house!" Li Xiaoqi glanced at her, 'snapped' the folding fan, lit a few begonias and turned his head and instructed Wisteria: "Prepare two small clothes for each of them, they must be clean and good-looking, and follow me out in the future!" Wisteria raised his eyebrows, and Qingcheng clapped his hands excitedly and exclaimed, "That's a good idea!" A girl is a girl! ”

Danyue put the strange-looking gold bills sent in by Zhang Gouzi in a delicate huanghuali box and held them in front of Li Xiaoyi, Li Xiaoqi knocked on the box with a folding fan, reached out to take it and held it in his hand, and went out with a smile with bent eyes.

As soon as Li Xiaoqi got out of the car in the second gate of Liang Wangfu, Dongping and Nanning hurriedly greeted him, lined up in a queue and said auspicious words: "Congratulations to the fifth master!" Congratulations to the fifth master! ••••••”

"Alright, alright! Don't be improper! Congratulations! Li Xiaoqi was busy laughing and returning the salute indiscriminately, Nanning looked at Li Xiaoqi and said with a smile: "The fifth master can't fool the little ones, this time he must be rewarded, such a big happy event, the fifth master can't be stingy!" Li Xiaoqi looked at the Dongping people who were standing in a row and stretched out their hands to beg for rewards, took half a step back, and solemnly thanked them: "This is all the love of the big guys, but the word 'reward' is not worth it, they are all partners, who rewards whom?" Why don't we have fun together, how about I invite everyone to Fengle Building to celebrate and celebrate in the evening? Dongping and Nanning glanced at each other, nodded and smiled: "It's better to be respectful than to obey!" ”

Nanning took half a step forward and reached out to pick up the box that Li Xiaoqi was holding in his hand, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly shrank back, and said with a mysterious smile: "This is a gift I prepared for my master, I have to personally entrust it to be respectful, hehe, don't touch your hands, lest you ••••••" Li Xiaoqi looked at the box in his hand, with a wicked smile on his face, Nanning looked at Li Xiaoyi, turned his head to look at Xi'an, and hurriedly stepped back, looking at the girl's smile, this box must not be a good thing.

Dongping and Beiqing were on duty, Dongping led Li Xiaoqi into the courtyard, passed the weeping flower gate, Li Xiaoqi stopped Dongping, held the box with one hand, shook the folding fan with the other hand and shook it, all the way to the main house, the little guy at the door of the main house saw Li Xiaoqi coming, and did not report, only opened the curtain, Li Xiaoqi was slightly stunned, his footsteps did not hesitate, he still held the box with one hand, and shook the folding fan with the other hand into the house.

Su Zicheng put down the pen in his hand, looked up at Li Xiaoyi, Li Xiaoqi stopped four or five steps away from the case, 'snapped' and accepted the folding fan, holding the fan in one hand, holding the box in the other hand and saluting the salute, Su Zicheng raised his hand, looked at the folding fan in Li Xiaoyi's hand, and looked at the box she was holding in her other hand, Li Xiaoqi held the box and put it on the case, and said with a smile on his face: "This is a gift I specially brought to the prince, the prince doesn't know, I saw this thing, and the first one thought of the prince, it's so suitable!" Wang Ye take a look? Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoqi suspiciously, looked at the box again, reached out and held down the box and was about to open it, but stopped, raised his hand and pointed to the folding fan in Li Xiaoyi's hand and said lightly: "This fan is rough, and it doesn't match your clothes, Dongping!" Su Zicheng raised his voice and called Dongping to come in and ordered: "Go and bring the box of ancient fans on the Baibao grid in my house to match clothes for the fifth master." Dongping simply agreed, and withdrew a few steps to get the fan, Li Xiaoqi shook off the folding fan, and while fanning it a little sullenly, he gestured to Su Zicheng with a pout: "Don't you take a look?" ”

"Hmm." Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoqi and slowly opened the box, there were four golden cancans in the shape of feces next to each other I don't know what it was, Su Zicheng hurriedly looked away, desperately suppressed the nausea surging in his heart, and looked at Li Xiaoqi for a long time before he spoke: "Let people rush to fight it out last night?" Li Xiaoqi stared at Su Zicheng tightly, smiling brightly but did not answer, Su Zicheng pushed away the box, stood up and walked to Li Xiaoyi, stared down at her for a while, took a deep breath and said, "How much silver do you want to do business?" I give it to you, what business do you want to do? Salt tea and horses are all up to you, in Beiping, what do you want to do is not easy? Li Xiaoqi took half a step back, looked up at Su Zicheng, and said seriously and solemnly: "I want to be free, the freedom you promised me, I will earn the silver myself, I will work hard for what I want, I will be your staff and courtiers, I will do my duty as a courtier, you are the duty of a monarch, the so-called monarch, ministers, you can't treat the staff and courtiers as concubines in the backyard, can you get your words from the staff of Liang Wangfu?" ”

Su Zicheng was a little embarrassed in anger, staring at Li Xiaoqi and speechless for a while, Li Xiaoqi took another half step, met Su Zicheng's gaze and said with a bright smile: "I'm a stupid person, I can only do a good job as a staff, shouldn't the prince just look at whether I'm a staff member or not?" When I return home, do I love the landscape or play the flowers, whether I read books and recite poems or walk cocks and dogs, as long as I abide by the law, should the prince also live his own life by me? Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoqi directly, his heart was churning like frying, and he was speechless for a while.

"Master, the fan has been taken." Dongping cautiously reported outside the curtain, Li Xiaoqi looked at Su Zicheng, who was staring at him with straight eyes, pointed to the door and said with a smile: "Your fan is here, call him in?" Seeing that Su Zicheng was still looking straight at himself, Li Xiaoqi moved uncomfortably, moved again, and simply replied for Su Zicheng: "Take it in." Dongping came in with the box, Su Zicheng came to his senses, took a few steps back and sat down on the chair, Dongping put the box on the case, glanced at Su Zicheng, and quickly and carefully retreated without waiting for the order, Li Xiaoqi opened the box, took a few folding fans and shook them open, and said: "This is called a fan, it is clearly an antique, such a fan is in your hand, and you don't even dare to fan it, forget it, it's better to have my fan, five big money for one, and I don't feel sorry if the fan is broken, and the prince can't use this fan for ordinary people." Li Xiaoqi said, put the folding fan back, closed the box, and said goodbye: "Thank you prince, the fan doesn't dare to be, there must be a lot of affairs in the next place, and I will retire in the next place!" ”

Without waiting for Su Zicheng to answer, Li Xiaoqi walked out of the house a few steps briskly, turned into his own room in the east chamber in a few steps, put down the curtain, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

In the evening, I picked up Wei Shuisheng out of Longmen and returned to Liushu Hutong, Mama Zhang had already prepared wine and food, Sister Zhang and Mrs. Sun also stretched their necks early and waited in the second gate, Li Xiaoqi asked people to call Zhang Gouzi and a few other people to come over, and had a lively meal.

The next day, the martial arts strategy was out of the list, Wei Shuisheng ranked tenth, Li Xiaoqi was overjoyed, Jingjiang Hou was very excited, and specially asked Shui Yan to come over to invite Wei Shuisheng to come over, Shui Yan and Wei Shuisheng accompanied him, Jingjiang Hou left a cup and a right cup, drunk and drunk, Jingjiang Hou was conceited and talented since he was a child, and he wanted to make a name for himself in the imperial examination, but unfortunately he was knighted without waiting for the end, and then although he was praised for his great talent, but no one dared to hand over his son who was going to go down the imperial examination to him to teach and guide, and the imperial examination was on the head, It is more secure and reliable to ask an experienced old master who can compose, this Wei Shuisheng is the first disciple of Jingjiang Hou to teach the imperial examination, and the first disciple is the first time he ends, he is ranked in the top ten, although it is a martial arts, but in the end he has only taught for two or three months, and he is a famous teacher no matter how he says! It's no different from being in 10th place!

Li Xiaoqi sent into the Liang Wangfu those who passed the strategy test secretly went through one by one, and the heart was slightly determined, the next martial arts test will be much simpler, but riding archery, foot shooting, sword and horse three, riding and foot shooting and nine in three, nine in five are very easy, most of them must be all in the middle, aquatic riding and foot shooting is also counted in the Huwei camp, maybe all in addition to playing some tricks, as for the knife and horse, with aquatic kung fu, it is safe and secure, plus the top ten of this strategy, A second-class is stable, Li Xiaoqi calculated and calculated, and his heart was determined, there is no need to worry about this end, the matter of watching the shed has not yet been settled, and he said everything that day, and then went to find Su Zicheng to borrow the shed, which can't be opened anyway, isn't it a self-defeating mouth? Forget it, let's think of another way, it really doesn't work, just in my own distant watchroom, I should look for a place to drink tea and talk.

Without waiting for Li Xiaoqi to make up his mind, Shui Yan went to the east chamber to find Li Xiaoqi and said with a smile: "The master has confessed to the envoy, on the day of the martial arts test, we have to watch it carefully, to see if there are any suitable people among those martial arts people, this is divided into two ends, they take the martial arts and scholars to them, let's see it, just right, I also need some hard-working, careful and hard-working people to escort the grain and grass here, the fifth master's side, if there is a clever change, find a few to make up for the espionage, this is the second master's explanation, the second master said, let's pick people in the watch shed of Liang Wangfu, The second master was going to watch the martial arts test with the uncle that day, not with us. Li Xiaoyi's heart moved slightly, thought about it and smiled: "Alas, it's really •••••• I also asked Shuilian and Shuitong Da/Grandma to watch the martial arts test together, this is really ••••••"

"Let them see it with us, the tent of King Liang's Mansion is spacious, and a few more are not too crowded, besides, they happen to be sisters in our mansion." Shui Yan smiled and said,

"That's fine!" Li Xiaoqi simply agreed: "I'll let people talk to Shui Lian and Shui Tongda/Grandma, and it's decided." ”
