Chapter 97 Appointment

The next morning, Wisteria came in with a brocade bag. Li Xiaoyao got up late and was having breakfast. He caught a glimpse of the familiar brocade bag and motioned Wisteria to put the brocade bag on the bed and asked, "Is Nanning sent it?"

Yes! He said he would come to pick it up early tomorrow morning. Wisteria answered and carefully put the brocade bag in his arms beside Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao slowly drank a bowl of porridge and glanced at the wisteria at the corners of his eyes. His mind moved slightly. He turned his head and ordered, "Look at a few things. If there are less, I will go out after reading them. If there are more, come back and have something else to do."

Wisteria answered, opened the brocade bag, and straightened out the documents inside in a moment: "There are 14 pieces in total, but not many."

"Hmm." Li Xiaoyao put down the bowl, took the veil and wiped his hands. He looked at Liu Yun and the bamboo lifting the bowls and chopsticks together with the kang table, motioned the wisteria to hand over the paper and tilted it on the pillow. He looked carefully one by one. The wisteria made tea and brought it over, and stood by the side to listen to the instructions. Li Xiaoyao finished reading the paperwork and handed it to Wisteria and ordered, "This It's been a month since the day of dealing with the prisoners of Liang. Why did they still send them here? Nanning will come tomorrow and ask him." Wisteria lowered his hand and agreed. Li Xiaoyao jumped out of the bed and said as he walked, "I'm looking for Sister Fan to have dinner at noon. You don't have to wait for me. You can help yourself."

Li Xiaoyao came out leisurely, asked a woman, and ran all the way to the east courtyard.

Everyone was there in the east courtyard. As soon as he saw her come in, Lv Feng jumped up and pointed to her and shouted, "You didn't come until everyone left!" At dawn, we will sweep the court! This is an ancient saying. Look at you! Every day!" Li Xiaoyao held his fist on his chest and stared at Lv Feng. He stared at Lv Feng's words behind him and swallowed back, and turned a big bend vaguely: "It's quite early." Li Zonggui laughed. Li Xiaoyao hummed whitely, came over and squeezed Li Zongliang to sit on the couch, turned his head and asked, "Who is here?" Nanning? Water rock?"

"It's Nanning. He came here and spread the prince's words, saying that he had placed me and several Huweijun of the Upper Fourth Army, appointed me as a commander, Shuisheng, and Tiemu. He also brought the letter of appointment, and there." Li Zongliang pointed to a roll of brocade, and Mr. Fan was about to take it and hand it to Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao waved his hand. What's so beautiful?! He just looked up at Li Zongliang and asked, "When will you arrive?"

"It is said that it is up to us, but since I have made up my mind, I will not be late. I have told Nanning that I will rush there early tomorrow morning. The Huwei Army is now stationed 150 miles west of Kaiping Mansion. Although it is not far, it can't be said that I will come back. You should worry more about the family."

"Well, what about you, sir? How did I arrange it for you? Li Xiaoyao casually agreed and looked at Mr. Fan's question. Mr. Mr. Fan shook his head with a wry smile: "On the way, the prince sent someone to ask me, and the former second master of water also asked me. I refused. I was an official in the State of Wu and then in Beiping. I was always a little worried. I'm old and don't have those ambitions. Forget it, An'an It's best to give birth and old age.

"How did you teach them how to be officials?" Li Xiaoyao's topic jumped very fast. Mr. Fan glanced at Li Zongliang and said helplessly, "This is an official way. It's useless to just say it. If you fall too much and hurt, you will learn it."

"How can you be willing to be an academic official who fell all the way? My husband is in his prime, and it's still too early to retire. I think it's better for him to go to the army with his eldest brother and be a gentleman's staff. With a gentleman supporting him all the way, the eldest brother's career will be much smoother. Li Xiaoyao said with a smile. Li Zongliang hurriedly turned his head and looked at Mr. Fan expectantly. Wei Shuisheng quickly stood up and motioned Li Erhuai and Li Zonggui to bow to the end. Mr. Fan was stunned for a moment and lit Li Xiaoyao with his hand. Without waiting for him to speak, Li Xiaoyao quickly smiled and said, "A son-in-law, this But half of Mr.'s son, and in the future, he will inherit the two families. Sir, can't say the word 'no'!"

Mr. Fan turned his head and looked at Li Zongliang, who was full of expectation, sighing and promised, "Well, it's just right, so that I won't be worried at home." Li Xiaoyao breathed a secret sigh of relief. Mr. Fan was willing to follow him, so she let go of her 70 or 80% of her heart. The eldest brother is too loyal and has never entered an official career. Even if he has heard of this official, he has never heard of it. If Mr. Fan refuses to go, she has to follow him all the way by herself. Now it is best for Mr. Fan to follow him, and she can stay in Kaiping Mansion. , stay with Su Zicheng, there are people in the court who are easy to be officials, at least they will not be slandered and suppressed.

"When Cheng Wang comes back, I will send him to the army. His skills have changed slightly and are more euphemistic, which are very useful." Li Xiaoyao thought for a moment and then said. Wei Shuisheng nodded and agreed, "What Xiaoyao said is reasonable. We can't fight hard for a long time. In the future, we can't be a brave army, a daredevil army, and a wise army."

"Beijing has just leveled Liang, and there are two years of time to rest and recuperate. We need to take advantage of these two years to train our troops. This training is more important than fighting a war." Mr. Fan thought about it and said in a low voice. Seeing that their thoughts had turned to military training, Li Xiaoyao stood up and said goodbye, "You guys talk to me. I'll talk to Sister Fan."

Lv Feng jumped up and said, "I'll go with you!"

"Oh, I'm going to find Sister Fan. What are you going to do?" As Li Xiaoyao walked out, he looked at Lv Feng and asked. Lv Feng discussed behind him, "What should I say to those maids?" What does it mean? It's almost the Double Ninth Festival. I heard that the temple has been opening the forum to preach. There is a trade conference with Wan surnames. You can definitely find interesting things. Let's go shopping?"

Li Xiaoyao stopped and sighed sadly, "Where is silver? Let me tell you, my family is about to open the pot. I have to discuss the open source method with my future sister-in-law. Oh, by the way, you owe me a thousand taels of gold. When will you pay it back? Lv Feng choked and stared at Li Xiaoyao for a long time before saying, "Will you have no money? Just you, whatever business you want, won't the money come? Do you still remember my one? I'll return it to you when the eldest brother comes."

"When will your eldest brother come?"

"It's on the way. It's not an emergency. It's in the twelfth lunar month!" Lv's plump face is reluctant, and a little uncle is enough to have a headache, and there is such a big brother who can't laugh, alas!

"When will he come back? Are you still leaving?" Li Xiaoyao looked at Lv Feng with a wistful face and asked. Lv Feng exhaled, "I don't know. I can't say it in the letter, but I think I must go back. I definitely can't delay for a long time. My father must urge him to go back. It's not appropriate for him to stay here."

"What about you?"

Lv Feng looked at Li Xiaoyao, hesitated for a moment, and said with embarrassment, "I'm also thinking about this. The eldest brother must want to take me back. If he hadn't taken me back, he wouldn't have come here so soon. It doesn't matter if I go back, that is, why don't you go back with me? Let me tell you, there are many interesting places in Xinyang Mansion. We can play as much as we want. Xinyang is tired of playing. I'll take you to the sea. Haven't you seen the sea, have you? Let me tell you, the water is so blue that people can't believe it. You must like it when you take a boat in the middle of the sea and look around. Lu Fengyue said more and more excitedly, "Let's play all the way all the way!"

"Are you going to be the top player all over the world?" Li Xiaoyao glanced at him and answered slowly. Lv Feng smiled and said, "This is a small matter. By the way, how about it?"

"It's not good!" Li Xiaoyao didn't want to talk more about this topic. I don't know how long she slept in the clear and cold sea: "Will you pass the top card of Kaiping Mansion? If you haven't been there, why don't you go there quickly? I have a business and don't have time to talk to you. We eat early. If you don't come back at the end of the year, I won't wait for you to have dinner. Li Xiaoyao walked straight forward as he spoke. Lv Feng followed closely and was a little confused. This Xiaowu was awkward when he picked up the first card. It's really!

"Hey! Wait, won't you go to see the Wanxing deal? Maybe you can find a better flower than your last one!" Lv Feng took a few steps to catch up and said flatteringly. Li Xiaoyao stopped and looked at Lu Feng and asked, "Don't you have anything to do?"

"What do you think I can do?" Lu Feng spread out his hand and asked, "What's wrong with you?" I'll do it for you!"

"Well, you go and help me inquire about how much money a house like the Fan family next door costs, and then help me inquire about several silk and satin farms in Kaiping Mansion. Which one is the largest one? Is the silk sold in it from the State of Wu or from the weaving workshop in Beiping?" Li Xiaoyao simply ordered.

"What are you doing to ask about this? Want to do the silk business? This business is not easy to do. How can you have so much capital?

Li Xiaoyao looked at him helplessly: "You are going to do it for me!" Why do you ask so many questions? If you want to go, you'd better go and play with your top card."

"Okay, I'll go, I'll go!" Lv Feng hurriedly agreed and watched Li Xiaoyao turn into the small flower hall where Mrs. Fan took care of the housework, then threw a folding fan, swaying out of the door and strolled around the satin village.

Mrs. Fan had already finished doing a lot of family affairs. She was talking to Yueting to do needlework. Seeing Li Xiaoyao come in, she quickly got up and asked her to sit down and poured tea. Li Xiaoyao said that Mr. Fan would also go to the army tomorrow. She looked at Yueting and didn't talk any further. Mrs. Fan smiled and gossiped for a while and sent Yueting away. "In the morning, the second aunt told me that you slept uneasily at night and asked you not to be too tired. Go back for lunch. Go back quickly so that your second aunt won't worry."

Yueting rubbed up reluctantly and was about to speak when Mrs. Fan raised Yuyan to come in. As she pushed Yueting out, she told her, "Yuyan sent Yueting girl back. Don't be greedy and delay on the way, which makes the second aunt anxious." Yuyan agreed, and Yueting had to follow Yuyan out of the flower hall and turn the corner door back.
