Chapter 175 Abacus
The 15th was the Flower Festival, and it was also the day when Dr. Jiang returned home. But when the palace door fell, he did not see Dr. Jiang return home. Li Xiaoyao frowned and looked at the shaking red lanterns in the yard. He was irritable and anxious. Half a month had passed since he arrived in Taiping Mansion, and he didn't even have the exact condition of Wu Huang. Find out! Li Xiaoyao threw the note in his hand into the evolutionary paper basin, picked up the tea, and put it back impatiently. He straightened his waist and was stunned for a moment. He shouted at Danyue and ordered, "Please come in, Dachang, Xiaoning and Xiao'an. We have something to discuss." Danyue answered through the curtain and hurried out to call people.
It's not good. In the long run, the three of them followed Danyue into the house. Li Xiaoyao sat on the couch and motioned them to sit down. He turned his head and told Danyue, "Make a pot of tea, call Shanghai Tang, and look back and forth." Danyue hurriedly built a pot of tea, took three fine porcelain cups, and made tea for Changyuan and others. They went to the east wing to call begonia. The two took needles and threads and looked leisurely guarding them one after the other.
Li Xiaoyao picked up the cup and drank a sip of tea. He glanced at the long-term and others and whispered, "Today, Dr. Jiang has not returned to the house. Emperor Wu's illness is afraid that it will be repeated. We have been in Taiping Mansion for more than half a month. How is Wu Huang's illness? There is no truth! Today, we have to discuss it carefully and find a way to find out how Wu Huang is sick!" With long-term shame and panic, he quickly stood up and arched his hand to plead guilty. Li Xiaoyao waved his hand impatiently: "Now the most important thing is to find out Wu Huang's condition quickly. This is not your fault, nor is it time to admit your mistake." Changyuan's face turned slightly red. He quickly sat down and turned his head to look at Xi'an. Xi'an lowered his head and thought for a moment. Looking at Li Xiaoyao, he suggested, "Why don't I sneak into the palace to explore."
"No! At this time, the palace must be heavily guarded. If you don't guard against us, you have to guard against the eldest prince! Wu Guifei is thoughtful. This method doesn't work. If she can't find anything, maybe she will fall into it. Li Xiaoyao refused. Nanning nodded and agreed, "The girl is right. This method is too risky. Besides, in case you lose your hand, you will leak the bottom." Xi'an lowered his head and didn't insist. In the long run, he frowned and tried to think of ways. After thinking about it, he had nowhere to say it! Li Xiaoyao looked at the three people with a bitter face one by one. He sighed heavily for a long time and waved his hand helplessly and said, "Forget it, I'm also too anxious. Take your time to think about it. If you go on, everyone should be cautious and do things with your eyes and ears. Well, you can go down and have a rest. Xi'an will go to Fahua Street Medicine tomorrow. The city should turn around and find out if anyone in the palace has come out to buy any medicine. The dead horse is regarded as a living horse doctor. Maybe he can find some letters. Xi'an agreed and withdrew from the main house with Changyuan and Nanning. The three went out of the hanging flower door, looked at each other a few times, sighed and went back to rest.
There is no way to go. In addition to Li Xiaoyao, there are also water rocks in Liangdi.
Shuiyan put his hands behind his back and sighed, and kept turning around in the overlooking the mountain garden. He received the uncle's instructions. Before he came, he was full of guarantees! The old man mentioned this marriage to the second master a year ago. The second master did not say no, but also acquiesced. Now he came to ask for a period to discuss the ceremony. Originally, he wanted to be a very simple and one-sentence thing, but it was just a hard trip. How could it become like this? Just that day, he mentioned a sentence and made a gray face. After that, he didn't find a chance to say this again. The second master stared at him with such a cold face. How dare he say half a word! But this matter can't be delayed any longer. The old man is still waiting to talk! Shuiyan stamped his feet, took a few breaths, patted the folding fan in his hand, and strode to the Mingjing Hall.
The three small inverted rooms outside the Mingjing Hall were full of Hou Jian's Liangdi officials. Shuiyan smiled kindly, arched his hand politely, and hurried through the inverted room without copying the corridor, but went straight from the yard to the door of Mingjing Hall. The little man at the door reported, raised his hand and respectfully raised the curtain. Shuiyan took a deep breath and summoned up the courage to lift his feet into the Mingjing Hall.
Su Zicheng sat behind the long case and listened attentively to Yu Yuanshan's clear and fluent account book. Yu Yuanshan's eyes saw Shuiyan come in and his voice paused. Su Zicheng scolded impatiently, "I miss you!" Yu Yuanshan owed his body calmly, turned over the account book in his hand and continued to report the account.
Shuiyan smiled and glanced around at the corners of his eyes. He moved to the side as if nothing had happened. He moved to Dongping and stood with his head down. Yu Yuanshan glanced at Shuiyan, as if it was faster than he had just read. After reading much, Yu Yuanshan finished reading the high number on the account and looked up at Su Zicheng and said, " Prince, judging from the numbers, there is no big change. It is 20% less than last year, which is also common sense. Liang Di went through military affairs last year. Fortunately, last year's wind and rain were smooth, but it was reduced by 20%. Su Zicheng gave a gentle 'um' sound, and An Zaihai, who stood two or three steps behind Yu Yuanshan, answered with a smile and said, "What Lord Yu said is that not only this, but also less than 30% less than usual. Liang Di is becoming more and more stable, which is all due to the Prince's benevolence." Su Zicheng said 'um' again, and his face seemed to soften a little. He turned his head and looked at Shuiyan and asked, "What can I do for you?"
"Yes." Shuiyan replied with a smile, looking at Yu Yuanshan and An Zaihai, but did not say any more. An Zaihai quickly turned his head and looked at Yu Yuanshan. Yu Yuanshan was looking at Su Zicheng carefully. An Zaihai also quickly moved his eyes and also looked at Su Zicheng waiting for him to speak. Su Zicheng tilted at Shuiyan and said lightly, "If you have something to say, I have a lot of things. Very." Shuiyan looked at Su Zicheng helplessly, turned his head and looked at Yu Yuanshan and An Zaihai, who were standing silently, and swallowed again. This was simply intentional! Shuiyan was slandered, but he didn't dare to delay his words. He bowed more than half and said with a smile, "It's the old man who asked me to ask the second master. It's more than half of February. It's really time to be very tight. If the second master has something to say, he has to hurry back. It's already in March." Shuiyan was shrouded by Su Zicheng's cold eyes, and the words became more and more vague.
"Didn't you see that I was busy?" Su Zicheng scolded fiercely with his teeth. Shuiyan swallowed heavily and didn't know what to do. Su Zicheng raised his hand and patted the high folds, documents, account books and so on the long case in front of him and shouted, "I'm so busy. You're idle, and you still have time to tell me about the female love here!" Shuiyan swallowed his saliva with difficulty. How did this become a child's love? After a moment of silence, Shuiyan smiled and laughed a few times. Looking at Yu Yuanshan's exaggerated jokes, he said, "The second master's words are interesting! The second master is not small. He is not a son who has a family and a career. Haha, ah, don't you think so? How can this be a love affair? It's not a big deal." An Zai Chongshuiyan smiled and smiled as if he was very agreeing with this, but his eyes were staring at Su Zicheng. Yu Yuanshan had a serious face, arched his hand, and said in a daze, "Second Master Shui dare not comment on this. I feel that a man should start a career first and then start a family. If he can't start a career, he wants to What do you do at home?
Shuiyan didn't know what to say. He stared at Yu Yuanshan and only felt that he didn't know how to come out. An Zaihai was stunned. He blinked a few times and lowered his head. The prince didn't ask him. He was not going to say a word. Su Zicheng breathed a sigh of relief, slanting Shuiyan with a smile, waved his hand and ordered, "Well, I don't have time to chat with you about this matter. The day after tomorrow, Lv Feng came, and you are just the right pair with him. You two are very interesting. Well, I will fulfill your friendship and pick up Lv Feng." Shuiyan looked at Su Zicheng in distress and didn't dare to say anything more, let alone disobey his intention. He bowed his head and agreed, pulling his shoulder and exiting.
Yu Yuanshan and An Zaihai withdrew and went out of Shantao Garden. An Zaihai hurriedly grabbed Yu Yuanshan, pulled him to a secluded corner, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you talking so much?" Master Shui, how can we offend him? You are not reckless. What the hell is going on? Yu Yuanshan looked at An Zaihai with deep eyes. An Zaihai pushed him and said impatiently, "You, me, Qian Qian, and Tang Gongsun, the four of us are grasshoppers on a rope! More than a dozen captives of Liangdi, only four of us have surrendered, in Liang, alas! Not to mention, in Beiping, we are not from Peiping. If the four of us don't help me, I will hold you tightly, not to mention the future, it's just life..." An Zaihai raised his hand and scratched his neck, with a low 'cluck' sound.
Yu Yuanshan looked around vigilantly, leaned over to An's ear and whispered, "Brother An was confused for a moment! What did the second master of water say to the prince? It's a matter of marriage! If the prince becomes a relative, the fifth master is still outside and hasn't come back yet!" An Zaihai blinked quickly for a long time, swallowed his breath, looked at Yu Yuanshan and smiled bitterly, "You also think too well! How can the fifth master be there? This family is the first...
What's wrong with the family? Can't the golden phoenix fly out of the cold door? What does the fifth master want? I think the fifth master is worthy of the prince!" Yu Yuanshan's eyes were a little arrogant. After a few angry words, Yu Yuanshan lowered his eyelids and paused, and his voice eased: "If it's someone else, this prince, as long as the prince is willing, who can change his mind?"
"And Prince Ning••••••"
"Oh!" Yu Yuanshan sneered, "If Lord Ning can be the master of our prince, then the second master of water still has to run like this?" An Zaihai twisted his short beard and almost couldn't twist it. He suddenly realized that he nodded and smiled repeatedly, "If this is the case, what else will we worry about in the future? We are serious from the Fifth Master's family! Let's go and call Lao Qian and Brother Tang to come to my place for a drink! Let's have a good chat!"
