Chapter 166 Difficulty

Li Xiaoyao frowned slightly and was silent for a moment before looking at Manager Sun and asked, "I remember that the ancestral home of the Yan family is from Taiping Prefecture?"

"Yes, the people on the edge of Taiping Mansion and the county now live far away from the county. Lord Yan's family has settled in Taiping Mansion since the last generation." Manager Sun explained carefully. Li Xiaoyao nodded, leaned back, put himself comfortable, and whispered, "Uncle Sun carefully talked about the situation of the Yan family."

"Okay, the Yan family is a big family, but Lord Yan is not a prosperous person. Lord Yan has started a family since the grandfather of Lord Yan. At the beginning, Lord Yan's grandfather was a gold and silver craftsman. He also walked around the streets with a picker. Later, the business became better and better, and it developed. With more money, it cost money. Son, let the two sons get rid of their books. Unfortunately, although the two sons studied very hard, their foundation was much worse. After more than ten years of the exam, they achieved nothing. After the death of the old man, the two sons separated. Lord Yan was the son of the second son. The strict family had two sons and the second son of the second son. Among the five sons of the third generation, Lord Yan is the concubine. After the birth of his son, his father and biological mother have died young. Now there is only an old lady in the second house. Lord Yan has been smart since he was a child and is loved by his grandfather and father. This direct mother has not treated him well. Now the family is also happy and filial. Manager Sun said it in great detail,

"Who is the best friends with Lord Yan and the Wu family?"

"I made friends with the fourth son of Marquis Wu, the uncle of Wu Guifei's uncle. The two of them are in the same department. I heard that this fourth son had great hands when he was young and often couldn't make ends meet. There was nothing else in Lord Yan's family, but there was no shortage of money, and there was no shortage of holes for him. In this way, the two of them could not go back. Lord Yan relied on him. The fourth son of the Wu family's eunuch's journey is also smooth. Now the four sons are a court official in the Ministry of Ceremonies. The two of them often have a banquet and drinks. The four princes often come to Jiangnan Square. The hands are very big. After eating the accounts, Lord Yan came to get the silver account. Manager Sun didn't know whether it was a bitter smile or a smile and shook his head. Li Xiaoyao listened attentively and asked, "Why don't I seem to have heard of this?"

"The fourth son was born by the second stepwife of the Marquis of Wu. The second wife gave birth to the fourth son in the second year and died in childbirth. In less than half a year, the Marquis Wu married the current wife. He is also pitiful and he is not talented. I heard that the Wu family doesn't pay much attention to him." Manager Sun explained that Li Xiaoyao exhaled gently, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. Everyone in this family had a bad account that could not be raised.

Before the two finished their words, Zhao Wuge came back with breathlessly. Xi'an took the medicine and fried them. Zhao Wuge took two or three green cloth bags from the shopkeeper Sun's car and carried them into the main courtyard. Manager Sun turned his head and saw the green cloth bag in Zhao Wuge's hand. He raised his hand and patted his forehead and smiled, "Look, I'm busy. Talking to the fifth master•••••”

"Uncle Sun can't call him the fifth master, but a girl!" As Brother Zhao handed the green bag to Li Xiaoyao, he solemnly corrected it. Manager Sun quickly changed his words and said, "Yes, yes, it's a girl. Yesterday was the Zhonghe Festival. According to the rules of Taiping Mansion, I had to send hundreds of grains, melons and fruit seeds to get an auspicious one. I prepared it for the girl yesterday. Today, I brought it here. As soon as I heard that the girl was ill, I forgot to do two. Clean!"

"Auspicious? What's the auspicious method? Li Xiaoyao opened the green bag, looked at the grains and melon seeds inside and asked. Manager Sun coughed a few times in embarrassment and explained, "Seeds, have children, that's probably what it means." Li Xiaoyao raised her eyebrows and raised the bags of seeds and said, "I think it's better to take this kind back and transfer it to Sister Sun and Sister Zhang!" Brother Zhao grinned and said, "This is the girl's. Aunt Sun and Sister Zhang's Uncle Sun also prepared it. Yesterday, he said that he wanted to find someone to take it over!" Li Xiaoyao put the seeds on a few with a smile and looked at Zhao Wuge and ordered, "You can't be idle. Go to Dachang and ask him to choose two people for you. There is nothing at home. You can find Danyue and Haitang for the list of things here." Brother Zhao simply answered and turned around and went out to be busy.

Li Xiaoyao watched him go out, turned to look at Shopkeeper Sun and asked in a low voice, "How are the people over there?"

"All right, the girl is relieved. She is very polite and doesn't care much about everything. A while ago, a clerk came and was about to discuss with the girl. I wanted him to do the fifth brother's errand and let the fifth brother come back to follow you. I heard that she went to eat military food. The girl has a lot of things now, and there is no one around her who can't do. Those... ••After all, it's not as good as the fifth brother, Jiangnanfang, and the girl also knows that, that's it. Manager Sun's voice was as low as a whisper, and Li Xiaoyao nodded: "You are thoughtful. It's best for the fifth brother to come and help me. Jiangnanfang, let them find someone else to help you. At the end of this year, I want to pick you up and see everyone. If you come back after the New Year, you have to be able to walk away." Manager Sun nodded quickly: "I know what the girl means. Don't worry." While talking, Xi'an fried the medicine and sent it over. Danyue and Haitang took the garbium and tea. Li Xiaoyao drank the medicine with a bitter face and rinsed his mouth. Manager Sun saw that Li Xiaoyao was tired and did not dare to delay any more. He got up and said goodbye. Li Xiaoyu raised his hand and stopped him and said, "If Uncle Sun sees Lord Yan these days, he will come over by the way. Tell Lord Yan about seeking medical treatment in Pingfu. Manager Sun agreed and left and went back to Jiangnanfang.

With such a skill, the clean room in the back has been cleaned up, and the kitchen has also been brought up with hot water. Li Xiaoyao soaked in a medicinal bath and lay down until ** fell asleep.

I slept until the next morning and woke up listening to the cheerful sound of birds outside the window. Li Xiaoyao stretched her sore body. Although her head was still heavy and her feet were much better than yesterday, she was much better than yesterday. When Danyue heard the noise, she came in and raised the curtain, carefully looked at Li Xiaoyao's face and said with a smile, "The girl looks much better."

"Did you two have a good rest last night?"

"Good! I slept soundly this night. I just told Begang that I slept to death last night, and I didn't know if the girl could sleep well at night. She said that she didn't know that she slept too deeply!" Danyue explained and answered. Li Xiaoyao said with a long breath and said, "That's good. If you can fall asleep, you can rest. If you can rest, you won't get sick. Let Xi'an give you two more pulses later. One disease is enough, but you can't get sick again!" Danyue squeezed her lips and smiled, took a pillow and put it behind Li Xiaoyao. She half sat up and suggested, "Is it okay for the girl to rinse her mouth first, drink a bowl of red date soup and then get up to wash?"

Li Xiaoyao smiled and drank soup, washed up and took medicine, and crooked to the couch under the south window of the east wing. Haitang smiled and reported: "Nanning came here in the morning and said that if the girl is energetic, she will tell them that she has something to report to the girl. "

"Let them in." Li Xiaoyao hurriedly ordered that Haitang promised to go out and call someone. Danyue took a cup of red date soup in a warm cup and put it on the table in front of Li Xiaoyao, and retreated back to clean up her clothes. Haitang led Chang, Nanning and Xi'an in. They saw the salute and looked at Haitang and withdrew from the house for a long time. Then they looked at Li Xiaoyu and reported in a low voice: "The girl asked me to inquire about it. Song Zhiqian in Taizhou has never gone out since he returned to the countryside. In the middle of last year, he received three disciples, plus his son, and taught them every day. These four students, Mr. Lin and Master Zhijing, didn't hear any useful letters here. They just said that they entered southern Sichuan the year before last. At the beginning of last year, they heard that they had left north and south of Sichuan, but now they don't know where they are. Li Xiaoyao frowned. Where can these two people go in such a situation as Taiping Mansion? Looking carefully at Li Xiaoyao, who frowned, and then said, "Miss Luoyan of the Red Mansion returned to Taiping Mansion with Qian Fuze at the beginning of the twelfth month of last year, but she didn't enter Qian's house. She didn't even enter Taiping Mansion. She rented a different courtyard under Baiyun Mountain and lived until now."

"Oh?" Li Xiaoyao put down the warm cup, looked at the long-term in surprise, and continued to say, "I heard that Qian Fuze's main room is jealous and fierce. When the concubine enters the door, she has to beat 20 sticks to lose her temper first. I heard from the woman in the courtyard of Baiyun Mountain that Luo Yan herself proposed not to enter the Qian family. Now Qian Fuze goes to the Baiyun Mountain courtyard every ten days and eight days. , stay for one night at most. Li Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment and sighed gently. They were all poor people!

"Let people look at this other courtyard and ask more about how Luo Yan is doing. Is there anyone who talks to her? She usually can't go out." Li Xiaoyao whispered and agreed in the long run. Li Xiaoyao was distracted for a while before turning around and then asked, "Is the Taiping Mansion stable recently?"

"A said that it was much more stable than the middle of the first half of the first lunar month. At the beginning of spring, the Taiping government government even dealt with the spring cattle randomly, but yesterday's Zhonghe Festival was more lively than the beginning of spring. It was said that the palace was still fighting grass as usual. I heard that the sages were going to sacrifice on the last Ding day, as if it had passed." In the long run, there was a doubtful report. Li Xiaoyao thought for a long time and looked at the three people waiting for a long time and whispered, "This is also uncertain. We know too little. In the long run, we will order them to go down and pay attention to all the places. First, all the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital, who go to the hospital normally every day and go home normally, don't care about him. They only look at those who stay. The imperial doctors in the palace inquired about who they are and what they are good at. How long they will go home. Second, they are closely monitored by Prime Minister Lin's Mansion, the Great Prince's Mansion and Wu Guifei's brother Wu's mansion. Who goes in and out, how long they go in, what gifts they have brought, etc. No matter how big and small they are, they should write them down and hand them over every day. Long-term, he agreed in a low voice. Li Xiaoyao turned his head and looked at Xi'an and ordered, "Give a message to Changming, and hide it first." Xi'an agreed. Li Xiaoyao lowered his head and thought about it. He sighed and ordered, "Let's do it first." The three agreed to quit. Li Xiaoyao turned his head and looked out of the window and sighed again. He could get far less information than expected, and the matter of Taiping Mansion was far more difficult than expected.
