Chapter 209 undercurrent

"We know it late. Kaiping Mansion should have issued a residence copy * a long time ago. There are fewer poor people and more rich people, and it's not too late." Li Xiaoyao drank peanut soup and replied with a smile, "Poor Wenfuwu? I thought about this a while ago. If only this martial arts could have been taken earlier. This martial arts scholar came out and just pulled out to use it." Luo Yan didn't know how to hear it again. Danyue blinked her eyes twice and said with a smile, "Then we'd better hurry back, otherwise it would be more scary to panic."

"Well, take the pen and ink, and I'll write a letter." Li Xiaoyao drank peanut soup and ordered. Begonia collected the bowl. Danyue and Luo Yan were busy taking out the paper and pen, studying the ink, and laying the golden chestnut paper. Li Xiaoyao grabbed the pen tone and breath. After thinking for a while, he slowly wrote: "I have received the letter, and the martial arts move in advance. This martial arts scholar can be released to practice one or two. The prince is really wise! I plan to rush back to see Shuisheng's exam, enter Beiping ten days later, and then return directly to Kaiping Mansion to wait for you in Huaiyang for a long time. After writing, she picked up and frowned and read it again. As a last resort, she really didn't want to mention the pen. The more she read this word, the more eye-catching it became! Li Xiaoyao folded the letter, put it in the envelope and sealed it with lacquer seal. He asked Xi'an to come in and ordered him to send it out quickly.

Mr. Lin and Zhijing rented a courtyard with a large garden in Kaiping Mansion. After settling down for a while, they sent people to stare at the Ning Palace and Liang Palace every day.

Dongping rushed all the way back to Kaiping Mansion. First, he went straight to the Ning Palace to send Su Zicheng's message and received Su Ziyi's instructions. Then he went out and rushed back to Liang Wangfu. After a long time, he went out of the side door of Liang Wangfu and went straight to Liushu Hutong. At this time, only Wei Shuisheng lived in Li's house in Liushu Hutong. Sister Zhang and Mrs. Sun became married. , have moved into their new house. Li Erhuai and Zhang Tiemu are in the army. Sister Zhang has just finished raising silkworms in the village with Aunt Sun. Now she is taking Aunt Sun to look around the pavement and want to open a small snack shop. It is so busy that it is rare to go to Willow Hutong. Anyway, there are Mother Zhang and Purple in the house. Teng and others watched that Wei Shuisheng would go to Jingjiang Houfu to study literature during the day, and it didn't matter whether he went or not.

Dongping arrived at Liushu Hutong, and the porter came forward to greet him affectionately and respectfully. Today, Mr. Fan rushed back the night to celebrate his late wife's death, but his family was delayed for two more days. Wei Shuisheng asked for a day off at the Marquis of Jingjiang today. At this time, he was talking with Mr. Fan in the Fan's house next door to relieve his depression. Dongping secretly said that he was lucky. , hurriedly turned to Fan's house next to him, went in and chatted with Mr. Fan and Wei Shuisheng for a long time, vaguely revealing that Li Xiaoyao had made great achievements in Taiping Mansion. At this time, he had left Taiping Mansion safely and was on his way back to Kaiping Mansion. Mr. Fan breathed a long sigh of relief, twisted the rosary in his hand, closed his eyes and read a few words of Buddha. In the first year, he converted to Buddhism, but Li Zongliang, Wei Shuisheng and others cared about his body and did not allow him to be completely. He was also an open-minded person, only on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year. Wei Shuisheng was relieved and stood up with a smile on his face. He didn't say anything. He only bowed to Dongping to the end and sat down again. Dongping was busy bowing back and chatting with them for a long time before leaving. He went back to Liang's mansion with the chef Dayu and did not dare to delay. He set off for Huaiyang that night.

Mr. Lin got the report, pondered for a long time, and discussed with Zhijing in a low voice: "This man is Dongping, the first useful little man around Prince Liang. It is common sense for him to go to Ning Wangfu. It is also common sense to go back to Liang Wangfu. What should he do in Liushu Hutong? It took him more than two hours to see. At the end of the day, he arrived at the gate of Ningwang Mansion and was just coming out. Two quarter of an hour later, he returned to Liangwang Mansion. At the end of the afternoon, he came out to Liushu Hutong. He came out of Liushu Hutong and left Kaiping Mansion at the end of Youyao. Look, half of the time he was delayed in Liushu Hutong. This place must be very important. "

"Well, it is said that these little men are best at figuring out the preferences and intentions of their masters. Since they have spent these efforts in Liushu Hutong, this willow Hutong must be the key point in the heart of King Liang. Or if there is someone or something, can find out the context of the family?" Zhijing shook the futon and agreed.

"It sounds like it's normal. The two houses are two houses in a row. When I heard that the original mountain bandits were attached to King Liang, I followed King Liang into Kaiping Mansion and settled down. These mountain bandits said that there were only dozens of people. There were several big surnames, one surnamed Li, one surnamed Wei, one surnamed Fan, another surnamed Zhang, and a girl. The family member, Fan, has read books and is a military division. Now, except for the female family, half of these bandits are farming in the village outside the city, and half have entered the upper four armies. I heard that Li has become a commander. It is fragmentary, and I can't hear anything useful. Mr. Lin was a little irritable and smiled intelligently: "Why is there nothing useful? A nest of mountain bandits, such an ideas, don't have much ability. How can King Liang bring him back to Kaiping's mansion in person and become a commander! How many strange strangenesses are there in the middle, and it is still useless? Looking at this, I calculated that the reason must be on these women! Let people inquire carefully if any of the bandits have entered the Liangwang Mansion!"

"That's right!" Mr. Lin flew his eyebrows and patted the folding fan in his hand, raised his voice and called several people to come in and tell them down carefully.

Two days after Shuiyan's letter was sent to Anyuanhou's mansion, Yu Yuanshan and others' joint folds also copied Anyuanhou's desk. Anyuanhou Shui's master immediately sent someone to invite his younger brother Jingjianghou Shuiqing to visit the house.

The water steward was affectionate and respectful all the way, leading the Marquis of Jingjiang into the inner study. The Marquis of Anyuan sent the little servant in the room and handed the letter of Shuiyan and the folds of Yu Yuanshan and others to the Marquis of Jingjiang: "Look at this. It will take two or three days for the folds to be submitted. This is what Erlang asked Erlang to copy and hand over quickly." Marquis Jingjiang took the letter and the fold, read it at ten lines at a glance, read it carefully, handed the letter and fold to An Yuanhou and asked, "What do you mean, big brother?"

"There is some truth in what Erlang said. The two children have grown up and know how to pay attention to everything and look carefully. This is better than anything!" Anyuanhou gently patted Shuiyan's letter and said with relief. Jingjianghou turned his head and looked at the sitting waterhe next to him. He gently patted him with a folding fan and smiled, "It's so gratifying. Dalang is relaxed and casual. It's better for his family to talk casually!" Don't be so meticulous." Shuiqi smiled respectfully, moved his body, and still sat upright. Jingjianghou shook his head with a helpless smile. Anyuanhou looked at his son with love and satisfaction, waved his hand and smiled, "Don't worry about him. He has learned to be such a straight character with his uncle for a long time. Erlang has some truth. This Li's Xiaowu is really not allowed. I'm underestimated, but this is a small matter. This co-branded fold is a big deal!" An Yuanhou raised the fold and shook it and said. Jingjianghou nodded with approval: "This fold is before Enke again. Once it is presented, I'm afraid that a stone will hit a thousand waves!"

"Well, let's get this fold first, which takes the lead. In this subject, the Guo family is too big." An Yuanhou answered, and Shuiqi bowed slightly and took the words: "The uncle saw the actions of the Guo family and was very angry, saying that the imperial examination was a national talent ceremony, and it was not a family that could be coveted." Marquis Jingjiang clapped his hands with a folding fan and said with approval, "This is the words of the old man to seek the country!"

"Well, this fold came up at the right time! After several generations of Ming emperors, we in Beiping have accumulated a lot. From the beginning of kindness and filial piety, we began to plan to open up territory and merge the land. The second uncle is even more blue, but in two years, we have merged Beining and Liangdi. When Marquis Anyuan said this, he seemed to think of something. He turned his head and looked at his son Shuiqi. Shuiqi hurriedly owed his body and said with a smile, "The reason why the second master did advance is that the second master wants to use troops. I heard from the old man that the second master has set out along Rucheng and Huaiyang to send troops along Rucheng and Huaiyang, ready to send troops from Huainan from Huaiyang during the fierce battle between Chizhou and Taipingfu. Road, seize Huainan all the way to hit the land and sea roads to the south. Jingjianghou almost danced excitedly. Anyuanhou twisted his beard and smiled, "Take Huainan all the way, firstly, you can encroach on Wudi, secondly, you can take differences and Jingji, and Beiping will unify the world, which is just around the corner! Our Shui family has to keep up with the steps of the old man and the second master. We must not be confined to one place and one government. This vision should be relaxed and far away. First, there are many places to use people in the country. Second, the second master should close the hearts of the world's scholars, and must also treat the world's scholars regardless of region and origin. If they have merit, they will be rewarded. If this fold is revealed all over the world, it will be able to come back with a clear name for the old man and second master. This fold, I mean, is seconded by the Shui family.

"Big brother is right, it should be like this!" Jingjianghou hurriedly patted the folding fan and agreed. Shuiqi glanced at Shuiyan's letter and hesitated and said, "If anyone mentions the credit of the trip to the Li family's Xiaowu Taiping Mansion••••••"

"It doesn't matter. First, the Li family's Xiaowu's trip to Taiping Mansion is unknown and can't be said. Second, this is the second master's family affairs. We can't interfere in the affairs of the uncle and the second master. This is a big taboo." Anyuanhou said firmly. Shuiqi thought about it and nodded with a smile. Jingjianghou seemed to remember something and asked, "Erlang went to Yuanfeng City to inquire about the second master's marriage. Is there any reply?" Shuiqi replied with a wry smile, "There is no reply. The uncle also wrote four or five letters to urge this matter. The second master did not reply a word. He said before he left that he had to arrange this matter by himself, and the uncle now has to help him perfunctory the palace. Looking at this, the marriage will have to wait until the second master receives Huainan Road and comes back. ! This delay, another half a year!"

"Alas, the second master has been so strange since he was a child. In the past two years, he seems to be getting more and more strange. He is still good-mannered, square and gentle, and in the future... Alas, it's enough for the ministers!" Jingjianghou sighed and complained again. Anyuanhou frowned and looked at his brother and warned in a low voice, "Be careful! This is not something that ministers can talk about! Don't say such words in the future!" Jingjianghou hurriedly nodded and agreed.
