Chapter 200 Business
Li Xiaoyao and his party are really like rich and noble children visiting relatives and friends. They walked slowly and comfortably on the way. They walked for seven or eight days in a row and entered Zhenzhou. Zhenzhou is only four or five days away from Yangzhou. They found Zhenzhou spies in the long run. Li Xiaoyao thought about these days carefully along the way and wrote crookedly in his pen. The long letter was handed back to Changyuan. In the letter, he said that he was to Wu Guifei, who is now the Empress Dowager Wu. He looked up and despised the eldest prince. It was suggested that Beiping should send troops to occupy Huainan all the way when Taipingfu and Chizhou were tired, so as to open up the land and sea roads to the south, so as to make the next layout of Beiping. Prepared. After sending a letter in the long run, Li Xiaoyao rested for a day in Zhenzhou and then set off.
When I arrived in Yangzhou, I received news from Changming and a reply from Su Zicheng. Compared with Li Xiaoyao and others, Changming's journey was much harder. When he passed by Zhengcheng, he was intercepted all the way by officers and soldiers. Fortunately, Changming and the dozen people he brought were brave men who had experienced hundreds of battles and rushed back. Fortunately, only two or three guards were folded in Beiping. Li Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief. Changming is the bright bait exposed on the surface. It is lucky to go back without much loss.
Su Zicheng wrote several pieces of the letter, which first expressed his approval of Li Xiaoyao's views, and then made her not allow her to stop in Yangzhou and return to Beiping via Huaiyang. He immediately set out from Liangdi to Huaiyang to inspect the garrison from Rucheng from Huaiyang to prepare for the next step proposed by Li Xiaoyao. Finally, Dong One by one, he said a few trivial things, including Lv Feng went back to Xinyang to get married. He thought Shuiyan was too annoying and sent him to Liangdi to persuade farmers. Another thing was that he had changed his name to Changming Mingzhu. Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes and stared at the newly released pearl uncle. He was stunned for a long time. He turned to look at Danyue and ordered, "Call Changyuan and Xi'an to come in, and Nanning!"
Waying for the three to enter the room, Li Xiaoyao shook Su Zicheng's letter and said confusedly, "My father's letter said that he changed his name to Mingzhu. Why can't I understand this? You have been serving me for many years. No one understands my thoughts better than you. Tell me, what does this mean? What's going on?" In the long run, she looked strange, and she wanted to laugh but did not dare to smile. With sympathy in her smile, she looked at Nanning and Xi'an and coughed and replied, "The girl said last time that she was not afraid of god-like opponents, but also afraid of pig-like teammates. I wrote more words to my master. Seeing the meaning, I am a little annoyed."
"Oh!" Li Xiaoyao seemed to be enlightened and agreed in a long voice. Nanning's heart jumped slightly and carefully glanced at Li Xiaoyao, who was full of smiles but his eyes were unusually cold. He hurriedly explained with a smile, "Girl, this is the rule of our march. The person responsible for the commander's guard is also responsible for writing down the changes in the war situation and reporting it every five days. , even if I go on an expedition, it's the same.
"Is this the rule when the prince went to Taiping Mansion to marry Princess Funing? One report on five days? Who should I report it to? The Emperor? Or uncle?" Li Xiaoyao asked step by step with a smile. Nanning coughed awkwardly, and Ai Ai explained, "I was married at that time. He didn't go on an expedition. How can he use this rule?"
"Oh!" Li Xiaoyao's voice dragged long, and finally turned around: "So that's it. It turned out that he went to Taiping Mansion to get married, but it's true. Later, he really married Liangdi!"
Nanning didn't dare to talk any more. He quietly stabbed him in the long run with his elbow. He bowed his head and fell to the ground. He looked up at Li Xiaoyao and explained, "The girl is angry, the little girl•••••"
"Get up! No need to explain, I don't blame you, and I can't blame you. Nanning said, first of all, this is the rule, and second, if you do this, you must have received your order. If you don't have ordered you, you can't do this more. Get up. Li Xiaoyao's eyes were full of fatigue. As he spoke, he motioned Nanning to help the long-term. Nanning hurried forward to pull up the long-term. Li Xiaoyao lowered his eyes and threw the letter into the brazier to burn. Looking at the long-term waiting three people, he whispered, "If there are rules, we naturally have to follow the rules. Naturally, what you have commanded, there should be a trace of It's a good job, but if there are no rules to look at it, and I haven't ordered it, so there's no need to bother you. Look, Changming made a shield for us this trip. This is already a thankless job. It's not easy for him to do this. Now he has no credit, but he has won the reputation of a pearl. Why bother. What?!"
Long-term hanging his head and dared not say anything, Nanning glanced at Xi'an. Xi'an swept through Changyuan and Nanning, moved his feet slightly, and reported: "Girl, just got my master's order, I ordered the little ones to quickly protect the girl from Huaiyang to return to Beiping." Li Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief, tilted his head and replied, "Thank you very much. I know. You write a letter to me. I want to stay in Yangzhou for a few more days to see the governance and economy here. It will be of great use in the future." Xi'an lowered his hand and agreed. Li Xiaoyao didn't say much. He waved his hand to retreat the three people, stood up and walked around the yard. He turned back to the room and looked at Danyue and asked, "Where are Luo Yan waiting outside?"
Yes! I came here with Nanning and waited for a while. Danyue replied with a hurry smile. Li Xiaoyao sat straight in front of the dressing table and ordered, "Looking for plain clothes. Begonia came to comb my hair. There is no need to come in. I'll go shopping and eat with her, and you two will go together!"
"Let the begonia wait for the girl. I'm watching at home. This room is inseparable." Danyue replied with a smile. Li Xiaoyao waved her hand and said, "Don't look, those outside are all connoyans, thieves, and thieves and thieves. How can they need you? Hurry up and pack up. I'll take you to the most famous restaurant in Yangzhou for dinner and drink later!"
Li Xiaoyao changed a short crab shell tight short jacket, a blue-white embroidered dark flower skirt, a sheep fat jade hundred-flower hairpin, and a cyan hat. Danyue and Haitang followed him. Out of the yard, Luo Yan had already bowed his hand and waited by the second-door car. Seeing Li Xiaoyao coming, he hurried to greet him in a few steps and holding his skirt. Kneeling down and kowtowed, Li Xiaoyao quickly pulled her up and said with a smile, "Don't be polite. This is not a place to kowtow. When the heart is dressed, we still have to go shopping and eat." Luo Yan straightened up with a smile, bowed his knees and saluted. He rushed to open the curtain in front of Danyue and respectfully waited on Li Xiaoyao to get into the car. Danyue took the curtain from Luo Yan's hand and signaled her to get in the car: "Girl, I have something to say to you. Danyue and I sit in the back of the car."
Luo Yan got into the car and sat stiffly at the door of the car. Li Xiaoyao straightened her skirt, leaned back casually on the pillow, looked at the restrained Luo Yan and smiled and said, "You are the best at will. How many days have you been in Yangzhou? Have you ever gone out?"
"I haven't dared to go out for six days." Luo Yan moved slightly and replied with a smile. Li Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows and sighed, "Have you been bored in the inn for the past six days?"
"How can this be boring? Who goes out every day?" Luo Yan's words suddenly stopped and looked at Li Xiaoyao's embarrassed explanation: "The fifth master is naturally different."
"I do like to wander around. I like these people and things. It's very interesting. Maybe after watching it for another year or two, I don't like it so much. Well, let's not talk about this. I didn't have a chance to ask you in detail before. What do you plan in the future? "
"I follow the fifth master!" Luo Yan answered abnormally. Li Xiaoyao looked at her speechlessly, sighed and then asked, "I didn't tell you not to follow me. I'm asking you, what are you going to do with me?" What do you want to do?"
"What does the fifth master want me to do?" Luo Yan looked at Li Xiaoyao with full of trust and asked. Li Xiaoyao raised her hand and stroked her forehead and rubbed it for a long time before she said, "It's not what I asked you to do. What I ask you to do, you have to have your own ideas first. Oh, let's put it this way, such as Danyue, her idea is to marry an honest and stable person, be good to her, and accept one or two. It's okay to have a general room, but it's better not to take a concubine, and don't have a child that she gave birth to. After becoming a marriage, she will follow me as a housekeeper. In the future, the child will have a promising reputation. If it is not for studying, she will go to the house to wait on the little master. She feels that such a life is the most beautiful. I will help her find a good person in the future, and then she is not allowed to take a concubine. No Maybe there is a concubine's son and daughter, let her be the housekeeper, how about you? Do you want to do the same?"
Luo Yan was distracted and stunned for a long time. He looked at Li Xiaoyao and whispered weakly, "If I say it, Fifth Master, don't be angry."
"Well, you can say it."
"I just don't want to be an object, follow the fifth master, that is, to be a girl, and the fifth master also regard me as a human being. I feel that I don't want to marry. The fifth master knows that unless I marry a rough servant or a peddler, it's just a concubine. No matter how good a concubine is, it is a valuable thing. As a girl with the fifth master, I can dance and serve men. I don't know needle and thread, cook or be a housekeeper. If the fifth master thinks I can do anything, just send me to do something.
Li Xiaoyao looked at Luo Yan and thought about it carefully and asked, "Can you do business?" Luo Yan giggled and joked, "If the fifth master wants to open the hook, I think I can do it!"
"It's okay to open the hook bar, but if you want to open it, you have to make the best hook bar. You have to make Kaiping Mansion. No, the best hook bar in Beiping, preferably the best hook bar in the world, can you make it?" Li Xiaoyao asked with a smile. Luo Yan half opened her mouth in astonishment and looked at Li Xiaoyao who couldn't speak for a moment.
