"How could I sleep so long?" Xu Shiyan sat up a little confused, rubbed his head and muttered, "My head is so uncomfortable." ”

Li Yungui looked at Xu Shiyan dotingly, and chuckled: "It's probably because you slept late yesterday and got up early this morning, plus you're already tired all day, so you're tired." ”

"Cloud returns." Xu Shiyan was silent for a while, and suddenly called out, his face was pale peach, but his eyes were bright and looking at Li Yungui, "We are married." ”

"Hmm." Li Yungui's smile penetrated his eyes, and his voice was light and shallow, like a light feather falling, which made people itch for a while, "We are married." ”

Xu Shiyan stopped talking, just smiled and looked at Li Yungui, and the temperature in the carriage gradually rose, and at this moment, Arnold meowed impatiently.

After sleeping for so long, he was already hungry, but when he was woken up and had to watch people show affection, Arnold felt really uncomfortable.

It was this "meow" that brought back Xu Shiyan's thoughts. She blushed and reached out to pick Arnold up, and stared at Arnold with wide eyes, as if embarrassed and annoyed: "You stinky cat." As he spoke, he cautiously glanced at Li Yungui, who was sitting on the opposite side, and was relieved when he saw that Li Yungui was lowering his head and didn't look at this side anymore, turned his body a little sideways, and nodded Arnold's head with his other hand, and said: "The more I grow up, the more I don't see it, it's all bad for me, I didn't take you out if I knew it." ”

When Xu Shiyan said this, his voice was extremely low, and Arnold knew that she was afraid that Li Yungui would hear it, so she specially lowered her voice. But he also clearly saw that when Xu Shiyan said this, the corners of Li Yungui's mouth quietly rose.

Because the groom is the son of the Xu family, he has been trained by the Xu family since he was a child, and he is loyal to the Xu family, and this trip, or the road taken by this elopement, was personally drawn by Xu's father after studying for a long time and handed them to Li Yungui, and Li Yungui got the three maps and combined them to make a new route map.

So in fact, except for Li Yungui, even Father Xu didn't know where they were.

Moreover, the Xu family has been in business for generations, and Xu's father has followed the family caravan all over the world since he was a child, and after so many years of experience, the road map drawn is naturally unimaginable to others, so along the way, Xu Shiyan not only had a good time, but also was not disturbed by the outside world at all.

And so slowly passed three months.

In the past three months, Xu Shiyan has been emotionally aroused at the beginning, and then slowly became a little absent-minded, Arnold knows that Xu Shiyan is homesick and family.

And Li Yungui naturally saw it, but Xu Shiyan didn't say anything, so he didn't ask.

What's more, in fact, Li Yungui doesn't know how to answer, if he tells the truth, then Xu Shiyan will go back no matter what, in that case, everything he did before will be meaningless.

Moreover, Li Yungui also doesn't know the situation of the Xu family and the Li family now. He and Xu Shiyan left, leaving a mess for the family, although Xu's father repeatedly emphasized to him that it would be able to solve it smoothly, but he still had some worries in his heart.

On the map handed to him by Xu's father, most of the stops noted were remote characteristic towns, and the roads they traveled were mostly country roads, and the simple customs along the way also brought the problem of news blockage, so that he had no place to inquire about the situation of the Li and Xu families now.

His parents were still in prison when he left, and I don't know if they have been released now.

However, he trusts his father, and he also believes that the trumped-up charges that the emperor has given his father will definitely be cleared.

After all, his father's fairness and honesty were well-known not only in Yangzhou, but even in Kyoto. If the emperor really wants to move his father, even if the ministers of the court and the central government do not protect his father, the people who have benefited from his father and his prime minister and grandfather will definitely help him.

It's just that he still has to find out about the situation in the end, and he is a little uneasy if he doesn't hear the news that his father and mother are fine.

Li Yungui was in a relaxed mood after making up his mind, and at this time, he happened to enter another town, and the coachman stopped in front of an inn with a carriage.

Li Yungui got out of the car first, and after standing next to the carriage and carrying Xu Shiyan to get out of the car, he gave the coachman silver to buy some things, and then walked into the inn with Xu Shiyan.

This town is not as quiet as the towns they have been to before, but it is more crowded because of its seaside location. Therefore, the inn is not deserted, and because it is noon, many people gather here to eat and it is very lively.

Because the space was not enough, Xiao Er had to let the two of them share a table with three people dressed as businessmen sitting by the window.

Fortunately, Li Yungui and Xu Shiyan are not pampered people, and the three businessmen are also enthusiastic and bold people, so although the five of them are sharing a table, they are gradually able to chat a few words.

Just as the meal was coming to an end, a few people suddenly sat down next to them, and after ordering the food, they began to talk to themselves.

And what they were talking about was actually the matter of the two families of Qin Du Li and Xu.

I only heard one of them: "I don't know what mistake the Xu family made, it made the emperor angry in court, and the head of the Xu family seemed to have been ordered by the emperor on the spot and put in prison." ”

"Not only that, but I also heard that the emperor seems to be preparing to remove the Xu family as an imperial businessman." The other person casually sighed indifferently, "I think that the head of the Xu family has traveled south and north for the emperor for so many years, and I don't know how much profit he has made for the court, but in the end he ended up like this, it is really a companion to the king like a tiger!" ”

"It's not, my younger brother is on an errand in the Xu family, and I heard that the emperor was angry, but it was actually because of the Xu family's daughter." There is another humane.

"Xu's daughter? But is it the Xu girl who is rumored to be 'if you get this, you will not envy the Son of Heaven'? Someone wondered.

"It's not her. Listening to my younger brother, the emperor seemed to intend to let the Xu daughter enter the palace as a concubine, but the head of the Xu family deceived the emperor and said that the Xu family had already married, and secretly hurriedly found a home for the Xu family, and hurriedly married the Xu family before the Xu family daughter was in time, and let her run away with her husband. ”

"Alas! The Xu family really doesn't know what to do, what a great honor it is to enter the palace to serve the emperor, and it is no wonder that the emperor is furious when he does such a thing! ”

"I can't say that, the emperor is almost forty years old, and he can be the father of the Xu family at all ages, and the palace is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones. The Xu family is such a girl, and they spoil her like a baby, where is she willing to let her enter the palace to suffer that hardship. ”

There were many things said behind the table, but Xu Shiyan couldn't listen to a word. Her face was pale, and she buried her head and bit her lower lip to hold back the tears that gushed out, but the hand holding the chopsticks was shaking violently.

Li Yungui, who was sitting next to Xu Shiyan, changed his face slightly, but he pretended to be very good, and it didn't make people see it. He reached out lightly and put a chopstick dish into Xu Shiyan's bowl, which also blocked Xu Shiyan's trembling hand just right.

The three businessmen at the same table naturally heard these conversations, and couldn't help but sigh a little.

Li Yungui quietly tried to appease Xu Shiyan, but with a gentle smile on his face, he asked the three businessmen: "How much do the three brothers know about the Xu family affairs they are talking about, and can they tell them in the next two?" ”

The three of them glanced at each other when they heard this, and one of them sighed: "Little brother, in fact, there is nothing to hide, what happened in the Xu family has been spread all over our business circle." In order to prevent the Xu family from marrying the emperor, the Xu family spent so much effort behind their backs, you said that the emperor learned about it, how could he not be furious? ”

Before Li Yungui could speak, the other said: "Speaking of which, the reason why the emperor is so persistent in the Xu family's daughter, in addition to the rumored unparalleled talent, is probably because he is interested in the Xu family's property." ”

Li Yungui held down Xu Shiyan, who wanted to get up, and still asked modestly, "I don't know when this happened?" ”

"It's been almost half a month, and now in China, only those of us who are doing business here know about it. And we are here to find some special goods to enter Beijing to present to the emperor. When the Xu family really falls, there is a vacant imperial merchant, and we can also fight for it, you must know that the imperial merchant ......"

Before anyone could finish speaking, Xu Shiyan suddenly stood up suddenly, ignoring the puzzled eyes of others, and ran straight towards the backyard of the inn. Seeing this, Li Yungui had no choice but to apologize to the three businessmen with a smile, took out a large ingot of silver and put it on the table to cook money, and hurriedly ran to chase Xu Shiyan.

At this time, behind the inn, the carriage that Xu Shiyan was riding had been unloaded from the horse and put aside. Xu Shiyan ran into the stable and found his horse at a glance.

Xu Shiyan learned to ride a horse when he was a child, so he is no stranger to facing horses at this time. She quickly pulled the horse out of the stable, flipped over and pulled the reins to leave.

Li Yungui rushed out at this time, and when he saw the back of Xu Shiyan, who was riding a horse away, he shouted loudly: "Shiyan, you calm down......"

It's just that this sentence did not stop Xu Shiyan from leaving. Li Yungui scratched his head in annoyance, looked at the groom who had just returned with a bunch of things after procurement, sighed, and roughly explained what had happened, and then pulled out one of the packages containing money from the carriage.

"You put the things you purchased into the carriage, I will go to the world, if you want to go back to Xu's house, buy a horse and come back, if you don't want to, you can go wherever you go, and the things in the cart will also belong to you." Li Yungui also led a horse out of the stable, turned over and sat on the horse, "I will ride this horse away, you remember to buy this horse for me with the innkeeper." ”

After Arnold also jumped on the horse and nested in Li Yungui's arms, Li Yungui did not look back, and quickly rode his horse to chase Xu Shiyan.
