Chapter 161 Fish

Wei Shuisheng changed his clothes and came out, went to the second gate with Li Xiaoyao, and rode away with Nanning. Li Xiaoyao breathed a long sigh of relief and strolled to Mr. Fan's yard with a smile. Shuisheng can worship the Marquis of Jingjiang, but it is difficult to find such a good thing with a lantern!

Li Xiaoyao sat on the kang in Mr. Fan's room again, poured two cups of tea and drank it. He breathed a long sigh of relief. Then he said just now, "Just now, Nanning came to spread the prince's words, and there are changes. Mr. Liang also wants to follow him to Liangdi. In addition, the prince found Mr. Jingjianghou to study articles for his brother. At this moment Brother Shuisheng has followed Nanning to Liangwang's mansion. Today, he will go to Jingjiang Houfu with the prince to visit his teacher. Mr. Fan's eyes lit up and said with a smile, "This is an excellent thing!" You don't know that this official is the most important thing about being born as a teacher. If you don't talk about it, it's just the top three people, Tanhua and Bangyan. This is a rare glory and very people can bear it. The origin of these two top and third rankings is much worse!" Mr. Fan said with emotion: "Alas! As soon as Huang Bang came out, this origin is nailed to the body and can no longer be changed. Even if you become the prime minister later, you are still a Jinshi or the same Jinshi. This background is still despised. Naturally, you can't be the prime minister. Since it is an imperial examination, you must be a scholar!"

Li Xiaoyao glanced at Mr. Fan, who suddenly sighed, raised his eyebrows and asked slowly, "Sir, how many A did you take that year?" Mr. Fan suffocated in his throat and said in a muffled voice for a long time, "Three top names." Li Xiaoyao said a long 'oh'. Mr. Fan relap the kang and said hatefully, "When it comes to the teacher, I have studied hard since I was a child. I think I was also born in Xieyuan, but I have been tested all the way from a poor and remote country. How can I have a chance to worship those famous scholars? He was born as a scholar, but he lost his teacher and had no support. He has been an official for more than ten years and suffered unspeakably! Alas!" Mr. Fan sighed depressedly again. Li Xiaoyao looked at him silently. Mr. Fan sighed a few times, sighed a little sulked, and waved his hand and said, "Don't mention this, how can you talk about aquatic things here? There are many old sayings! Shuisheng kung fu is good. Wuju is the host of the Ministry of War. Originally, 70% read kung fu, and 30% read articles. Shuisheng now worships Shui's family. In this subject, one A dares not say that one and the two A are stable, which is a good thing! Good thing! Shuisheng was elected, and their brothers will be really stable in the army in the future. Li Xiaoyao nodded to express his approval. Mr. Fan breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back comfortably. Looking at the smiling Li Xiaoyao, he suddenly asked, "What are you going to do next?"

"Look for a good family for Brother Shuisheng. As you said, Brother Shuisheng has good talent and will not make contributions sooner or later." Li Xiaoyao said with a smile, "As for the eldest brother, I plan not to let the aquatic brother and the eldest brother be separated for a while. The brothers will take care of each other and earn some credit and come back to plan separately. This is also what the aquatic brother means, but I haven't discussed it with the eldest brother yet." Mr. Fan looked at Li Xiaoyao with complicated eyes and whispered to himself for a long time, "You are a high-hearted and easy-hearted." Li Xiaoyao tilted his head and looked at Mr. Fan. After being silent for a long time, he replied in a low voice, "Sir also knows that when our brother and sister were in Lijia Village, they didn't even plan to leave home, but they asked for a safe and warm meal, but the village was slaughtered, and his father, mother and two brothers died tragically. Only five people escaped from the village, and hundreds of people in Lijia Village. It became the sacrifice of the royal struggle for power and profit. I fled to Taiping Mansion. My brothers and I worked to earn money. All my plans were just to earn some money to open a preserve shop and live a stable and prosperous life. However, the brothers were trapped in the battle between the north and south of the State of Wu, so they had to flee to Zhengcheng to fall into the grass and become a bandit. Even as a bandit was also on the chopping board of officers and soldiers. Meat, the leader of Sun in Dongshan was trained and purified by General Yuan. My brother, and Sister Zhang can survive safely. He also knows how difficult it is. Li Xiaoyao paused. Although she intervened in the matter of Sun's leader, it was General Yuan's coveted wealth, but sooner or later.

Li Xiaoyao lowered her head and was silent for a moment, and then said, "Sir, isn't she forced to be helpless when she comes to this Kaiping Mansion? At that time, my husband resigned and returned to his hometown, but he just wanted to live a safe life, but this safe life is a luxury in this troubled world. What can he do in such a troubled world? Either squeeze up desperately to the ground where it is not easy to be a fish, or maybe it will become the fish in someone else's bowl as soon as you open your eyes!" Li Xiaoyao's voice gradually fell down. Mr. Fan's fingers trembled and put down the cup. The corners of his eyes were rubbed several times. After a long time, he sighed. His wife and children made fish!

"If this is not the case, if it is the prosperous times of peace and Qingming, I would rather do business, make a lot of money, do good deeds, and accumulate virtues, and earn a reputation for charity. Maybe I can earn the archway of a good family, have enjoyment and leisure, and become a good man. Why do I have to do blood all day long?" Li Xiaoyao continued in low voice, and Mr. Fan waved his hand sadly: "Don't mention this, don't mention this! Man is a knife, and I am a fish! What's the way to do this troubled times? Don't mention this!"

Li Xiaoyao poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Mr. Fan. Mr. Fan took the tea and drank it all, as if he was stuffy in his chest. The two lines of tears rolled down all the way. After a long time, he waved his hand and choked and said, "I'm old! Look at me, I'm not promising, I just think about it, I don't want to talk about it anymore! When are you leaving?

"Tomorrow night." Li Xiaoyao turned around and found a handkerchief and handed it to Mr. Fan. Mr. Fan took the handkerchief and pressed the corners of his eyes hard. After a long time, he took a deep breath and his tone gradually calmed down: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"It's not urgent. Anyway, we have to leave sooner or later. We will go back early and return early. Erhuai and Tiemu's marriage, as well as Jiang Shuncai and Mingwan's marriage. At that time, the gentleman will help host the host. I will let Mother Zhang and Mother Lu take care of the trivial matters at home. There are Zhang Gouzi and Zhao Liushun outside. The head of the matter should help make an idea. " Li Xiaoyao changed the topic quietly. Mr. Fan took a deep breath and nodded and promised, "Don't worry, Erhuai's marriage won't you come back?"

"I won't come back. It will take a month or two, and it won't take half a year in total. Forget it." Li Xiaoyao replied with a smile, "Hurry up and work hard and earn some credit when you have something to do now. I can't be a staff member in the Liangwang Mansion for a lifetime. When we all stand firm, I will retreat and concentrate on doing business to make money. With these credit, I will be better off the big tree of Liangwang Mansion." Mr. Fan smiled, shook his head gently and said, "Don't plan too well. If you can earn credit, you are a useful person. If you are useful, you have to retreat, but it's not so convenient!" The Su brothers are not good with each other!"

"I know, do you want to seek skin with the tiger, but the Su brothers are still gentlemen among politicians and have room for negotiation." Li Xiaoyao replied with a smile. Mr. Fan raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and nodded with approval: "What you said is that there is no perfect solution. Be careful about everything, and don't be too sharp. If you plan to retreat, you must leave a line in everything, and!" Mr. Fan looked at Li Xiaoyao, and his words suddenly stopped. After looking at Li Xiaoyao for a moment, he whispered, "Alas! It's not appropriate to say this directly to you, but you are not an ordinary woman, Xiaoyao. Now that you are like this, it will be extremely difficult to get married in the future. I don't think King Liang has the intention to accept you to enter the house. You should have a plan for a long time. If you plan to enter the house••••••"

"I won't be a concubine, and I won't enter the royal palace of Liang!" Li Xiaoyao answered firmly. Mr. Fan sighed gently and nodded and said, "I knew that if you don't enter the house, you have to leave a better way out of everything. It seems that you have also thought about this. I won't say more. You are a successful person."

"Thank you, sir." Li Xiaoyao lowered his head, scratched his fingers across the edge of the cup, and thanked him in a low voice. Mr. Fan looked at Li Xiaoyao, picked up the teapot to help Li Xiaoyao's cup refill the tea, and poured another cup for himself. The two drank a cup of tea silently. Li Xiaoyao stood up and said goodbye, "I'll go back first. Even if I say goodbye to my husband today, I won't come tomorrow. " Mr. Fan straightened his upper body slightly, nodded with a smile, and watched Li Xiaoyao put on his cloak and go out. After a long time, he sighed heavily, leaned back to the pillow, and looked up at the painting beam and came to be distracted.

Li Xiaoyao returned to the half-mu garden wrapped in his cloak, washed it clean, took the red date tea handed over by Begonia and drank it while ordering, "Call M Mother Zhang and Mother Lu to come in." Haitang agreed. In a moment, Mama Zhang and Mama Lu came in. Li Xiaoyao retired from the maids and looked at the two and said with a smile, "I'm going to go to Liangdi with the prince tomorrow night. It will take half a year to come back. I'm going to take two maids there. Who do you think it is appropriate to take?"

Mant Lu turned her head and looked at Mant Zhang. Mant Zhang Mantha took a look at Mant Lu and thought about it carefully and suggested, "The fifth master is going to Liangdi. I'm afraid that there is something wrong with the food. Why don't it be better to take Shanghai Tang?" Li Xiaoyao looked at Mother Lu. Mother Lu hurriedly agreed, "I also think so. The other one is better to bring Danyue. The fifth master must be a confidential matter when he goes out with the prince. Danyue's words are not tight. This is one. Second, Danyue's needle and thread is good and his heart is careful."

"Well, that's true. Wisteria will stay to take care of this yard." Mother Zhang agreed, and Li Xiaoyao nodded with a smile: "Okay, that's it. Let's ask Wisteria and Danyue to come in. After I leave, I will trouble the two Mothers in big and small things at home. There are also a few marriages. Please pay more attention to the two Mothers." Mother Zhang and Mother Lu hurriedly bent their knees and said that they didn't dare. Seeing that Li Xiaoyao had no other confession, they withdrew and called Wisteria and four others to go in.
