Liu Pan'er nodded, "I have a way, although it is related to Li Yuanqing, but in another direction." Don't worry, I'll read the letter first. ”

Liu Paner took the identity document and handed it to the messenger Qian Dapeng, "I'm tired." ”

Qian Dapeng smiled and said: "Madame is polite, if Madame has a letter or something to give to Li Qianhu, she can send it to the post station in Cuiyang County within three days." At that time, the subordinates left Cuiyang County and took things away along the way. ”

Hearing this, Liu Paner's eyes lit up again, and she smiled happily, "Isn't it faster than we usually send letters through the post station to bring things to the northwest through you?" ”

Qian Dapeng nodded and replied affirmatively: "Mrs. Hui, if it is just a letter, through my side, it will be delivered to the Northwest City in about ten days and twenty days." If it is a large package, it can only be transported together through the carriage of the post station, and it will take a month and a half or two months to go there. ”

When Liu Pan'er heard this, she knew in her heart, "I see, trouble Qian Zhuangshi." I will deliver the letter to the post station tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and when you leave the post station, be sure to check whether the letter from my house is there. ”

"Yes, ma'am, I wrote it down." Qian Dapeng responded, and then said goodbye and left.

Even if Liu Pan'er stays for dinner, "Qian Zhuangshi is in a hurry, stay and eat and then go back?" ”

Qian Dapeng excused, "No, there are friends waiting in the county, thank you for your kindness." ”

Seeing Qian Dapeng say this, Liu Paner didn't continue to keep it, and then put five taels of silver in his purse, handed it to Qian Dapeng, and said: "Hard money strong man, be careful, don't be respectful, please accept it." When Qian Zhuangshi went to the northwest, he must have told Li Yuanqing that everything was fine at home. ”

Qian Dapeng was not polite, and took it, it was very hard along the way, with a silver ticket on his body, and he was frightened. Give the reward, and he will take it; If he doesn't give a reward, he doesn't want it.

After Qian Dapeng left, Liu Paner got a letter and a silver ticket of two hundred taels. This silver ticket, go to the Hengtong Money Village in the county seat, and you can take out the silver.

Li Dabao urged, his face eager, "Mother, what did Daddy say in his heart?" ”

Village Chief Li was also quite anxious, "Look, tell me how Yuanqing is in the northwest?" When will I be able to come back? ”

Liu Pan'er opened the letter, looked at the not-so-beautiful font on it, read it carefully, then folded it up, and said to Li Dabao: "Your father said in the letter that he went to his hometown to deliver a letter and silver, but his hometown was sent to the northwest for disaster. Later, when I received our letter, I learned that we had come to Cuiyang County to settle down. After that, he said that there are frequent wars in the northwest and he can't come back, so let's not worry. Also, send me some silver so that I can take good care of you. ”

Hearing this, Village Chief Li smiled, "It's good that Yuanqing is safe, now it's a thousand households, and in the future, our Li family may be able to produce a general!" ”

Liu Pan'er nodded, her mood was not high, and she forced a smile, "In short, it is difficult for him to be alone in the northwest, and I can't do anything else, so I can only take care of the four children." ”

Village Chief Li thought so deeply and praised Liu Pan'er, "Yuanqing's family, you are a good one, Yuanqing can marry a good daughter-in-law like you, it is a blessing that he has accumulated in eight lifetimes." Since Yuan Qing is fine, then I am relieved. Write a letter to Yuan Qing, explain it for me, and ask him to take care. When he came back, I invited him to drink. ”

Liu Pan'er responded and nodded sullenly, "Well, I know, Uncle Village." ”

Village Chief Li and the others saw that Liu Paner's mood was not high, thinking that Liu Paner would not be in a high mood because her husband Li Yuanqing could not come back and would continue to fight in the northwest.

They are not people without eyesight, knowing that Li Yuanqing is alive and promoted, they leave satisfied.

After the outsiders left, Li Dabao secretly looked at the letter in his mother's hand and asked in a low voice, "Mother, can I read the letter?" ”

Liu Pan'er nodded, and handed the letter in his hand to Li Dabao, "Look, your father is indeed powerful, he is a thousand households who have won many battles, and he may be able to become a general like what he told the village chief in the future." ”

Li Dabao took the letter, read it carefully, and found that there were still some words that he didn't recognize, but most of them knew it, and he could vaguely understand its meaning in connection with the context.

Li Xiaobao stood on the chair, tilted his head sideways, looking at the letter, although he could also recognize some words, but he had already learned the meaning of his father's letter from his mother, so his attention was all on the font, "Daddy's words are not as beautiful as mother's handwriting." ”

When Liu heard this, he sighed, "Actually, I can't blame your father, your father could read when he was a child, but your grandparents didn't let him read, let alone buy him paper and pen to practice calligraphy. The master of the school said, your father can be admitted to Xiucai, but not only did they not give him money for the exam, but also seized his identity documents, so that he could not take the exam, and they also did everything possible to squeeze the money he earned by copying books. If there were conditions, your father would have been admitted to the fame a long time ago. ”

Li Dabao sighed, "Daddy is so pitiful, fortunately, he has a good life and marries a good daughter-in-law like his mother." With us children, Xiaobao in the future, you should study hard, be admitted to Jinshi, and make up for your father's regrets. ”

Li Xiaobao nodded and clenched his little fists, "I will definitely work hard." ”

Li Nan tugged on his mother's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Mother, did Daddy ask Anan?" Now Anan is not a milk doll, she has grown up, she is good-looking and cute. ”

Liu Pan'er bent down slightly, stretched out her hand to twist Li Nan's nose, and chuckled, "Of course I said it, and I also said that I must make good clothes and food for Anan, and I also have to teach Anan to practice martial arts, so Anan can't be lazy in the future, you know?" ”

Li Nan was happy when he heard the previous words, and when he heard the content of the last martial arts practice, he suddenly felt unhappy, and pouted: "Now I think my father still doesn't mention me in the letter, just think about me in my heart, I don't need to practice martial arts." ”

Liu Paner shook her head and smiled, "As long as you are clever, you will be lazy." Okay, I'll discuss things with your aunt, Xiaobao, you take Anan out to play. ”

Although Li Xiaobao also wanted to stay and listen, when he saw his mother's serious face, he had to nod, "Okay, Anan, I just heard the hen clucking, let's go pick up the eggs, and let the mother give you your favorite steamed eggs at night." ”

Li Nan, who originally wanted to rub beside Liu Paner, had big eyes lit up, "Mmmm, brother, let's go, I want to pick up the biggest and most beautiful eggs, and make my mother's favorite steamed eggs." ”

Sister Mao'er knew that Madame was going to talk, and she followed the children out.

Only Liu Paner, Li Dabao, Li Rong, and Liu's mother and daughter were left in the house.

Even with Li Yuanqing's letter, it did not dilute the fear that Old Man Li and Mrs. Li were going to come to Jixiang Town.

Everyone was silent, but Liu Pan'er smiled, "Don't be discouraged, when I heard Li Yuanqing's letter just now, I thought of an excellent way to guarantee that I can protect any of you, including me, of course." ”

Liu Shi was surprised, his face was puzzled, and asked Liu Pan'er, "Brother and sister, say it quickly, what good way did you think of?" ”
