Li Hongruo really would not make such a mistake, but those who are interested in instigating and concealing it.

For this matter, Xiaoqi wrote a letter to ask Li Hongruo to come to Beijing.

After listening to Xiaoqi's obscure explanation, Li Hongruo was furious and said that he believed in the wrong person. Who did he believe in the wrong person? The answer is Meishi, Dafang.

Didn’t the Mei family take over the Zhao family’s operating rights on the Changhe River earlier? The passenger ships on the Changhe River naturally had to pass their hands. Someone from the Sun family happened to be buying and selling on the Changhe River, and they climbed up to the Mei family after a while, so these things happened today.

Although Li Hongruo knew that Mei was jealous, she was a family member and she rarely said to match her, so she agreed. She asked her husband to inquire about the Sun family in private. She heard that she had served as an official in the past, so she felt a little relieved. When she went to Qinchuan last time, she "she" passed by Qingzhou and saw that the girl looked really good, and she looked like Xiaoqi between her eyebrows and eyes. She was kind-hearted and thought that she could get along with Xiaoqi in the future. The future of Chang'an was still Li Chu, the uncle. If the wife could get along well with her aunt, wouldn't she get twice the result with half the effort?

Since he had such selfishness, he naturally couldn't care about other aspects, but he was so shameless. He wanted to go to Qingzhou to curse, but was stopped by Xiaoqi.

This marriage is related to the future of Chang'an, and you must be cautious and cautious. Don't make a statement. Find a trustworthy person to inquire about the Sun family. If the outside world wronged them, then you will find a way to resolve the rumors. If the outside world did not wronged them, then talk about the matter of reconciliation. There are two types of reconciliation. One is to settle the marriage quietly, and the other is to settle the marriage with a big fanfare, depending on the other party's attitude.

It happened to be a few days after that, and Li Chu was about to come back. He was his uncle and had to listen to his opinions. Li Hongruo trusted this younger brother quite well, so he pressed his anger and waited for his younger brother to return to Beijing.

Li Chu arrived in the capital on the sixth day of the fifth month. When he entered the capital, he went to the palace to report his work. He didn't know what he talked about in the palace. He didn't go home until the fifth day of the seventh day of the lunar month. He simply cleaned up his body and fell asleep.

Knowing that he has worked hard these days, Xiaoqi didn't even let Brother Heng come to the main hall, for fear of disturbing him to sleep.

Li Hongruo came twice in the morning. Seeing Li Chu asleep, he didn't dare to bother him. He just sat with Xiaoqi in the east wing for a while and then went there embarrassedly.

Li Chu slept until the beginning of the afternoon. After waking up, Xiaoqi took his plain home clothes and asked him to change into it.

After putting on his clothes, he went to the yard to stretch his fists and feet, then went to the next door to see Brother Xuan, and asked about Brother Heng’s studies at the dinner table.

Xiaoqi took the opportunity to tell him about the marriage in Chang'an and also told him his thoughts.

Li Chu thinks it is feasible. It is better to find out what is related to the reputation of a girl. It is better to act in a low-key manner. Even if you can't become a relative, try not to harm the reputation of the girl.

"My elder sister came twice in the morning. When she saw you asleep, she didn't dare to call you up. Should I ask someone to call him now?" Xiaoqi was smearing his forehead and gestured on his forehead while he was raising his head.

"Let's talk about it when you have dinner to call Chang'an together." Li Chu said.

"Can you eat at home tonight?" There is a little excitement in the novelty.

Her expectant eyes made Li Chu feel that something extraordinary had been done. She was so happy to have a meal at home, so she sighed that she had too little time at home. "I will be buried at the end of the fifth day tomorrow, and I will enter the palace at the beginning of the hour of Hai tonight, so I can catch up."

Xiaoqi nodded happily and continued the needlework on his hands.

"Last night - King Jin talked to me about something." He thought for a while, and felt that he still wanted to talk to her. "In recent years, there have been frequent rebellions in Jiazhou, southwest, which has caused great trouble to the court. King Jin wants me to go over and guard for a while."

Jiazhou? "It's the Jiazhou that is southwest of Yuzhou, near Nanyue?" is indeed a very remote place.

"Yeah." Looking at her.

"If I remember correctly, it's less than twenty years since Jiazhou recovered it?" I remember that when I was a child, Yuan Ren always said the Jiazhou war in front of her, and she didn't listen carefully.

"The late emperor was busy with the Northern Expedition, and the generation of Jiazhou did not take care of it. So for twenty years, there have been troubled people and troubled things. The King of Jin planned to rectify it." He was sent to guard because he was always tough, and the place just needed a tough person to shock it, which was the best place for him to recover.

"But aren't you used to fighting in the north?" Although she didn't understand war, she knew that everyone had their own style of fighting. He had been in the Northern Expedition Army. Will he backfire after suddenly changing to the southwest?

"..." I didn't expect her to notice these things, "I did stay in the Northern Expedition Army for a long time, but don't forget my background. I joined the army from the Qinchuan family army. What's the best thing about the Qinchuan family army?"

"..." The journey is like a mountain. If you ask her how Qin Chuan embroidered a needle, she can say a few words, "There are many mountains in Qin Chuan, is it a way to play on the mountain?"

"Mountain style...this sentence is very wonderful to summarize." Li Chu felt that this statement was very novel.

Xiaoqi secretly stuck out his tongue at himself, saying that he seemed to have accidentally said something advanced, "Just know what you know, I have no objection. Wherever you go, I will go wherever you go." The husband and wife are following, anyway, she doesn't want to stay in the capital alone. Just kidding, this is the den of a dragon's and tigers!

Li Chu was afraid that she would not want to go to such a remote place to accompany the army, so he prepared a lot of righteous words, but unexpectedly he was so easy to talk about...

*******

After the funeral, the period of stopping the spirit is. How long does this period last depends on the right time, place and people, that is, the heavenly appearance, earthly energy, and the current situation in the country.

According to the calculations of the Taishi Bureau, the burial was buried on the sixth day of November in the country's fortune. The new sage lord issued an edict - half a year later, the mourning period will be granted, and the thirty-six days after the following burial is limited to thirty-six days.

Then came the throne ceremony of King Jin—

The officials in the capital were busy, and they were simply rotating wheels.

The old master of the Wei family failed to wait for the new master to succeed to the throne and passed away at the end of May. To show his respect for the Wei family, the new master went to the Wei family to pay homage.

In front of the old master of the Wei family, the new master and Li Zhendao, the head of the Li family, and Moqiu Shen, the head of the Mo family, had a long talk until late at night. Three days later, the new master ascended the throne, changed his lunar name, and was amnesty for the whole world.

Hongfu gave birth to a baby boy on the sixth day after the new master ascended the throne, named Xie Yunlu.

Because all banquets were prohibited during the national mourning period, Xie Jitang did not dare to make a big splash, and even did not dare to dye the red eggs. He only cooked two pots of cooked eggs and gave them to relatives and friends who came to see the children.

After the child was full of months, the heat was particularly strong, so Xiaoqi took the mother and son into the back garden - the place where they lived was not transparent and too stuffy.

"This grape was just sent by Aunt Fan. I have been using ice cubes to save you. You have just passed the confinement period and are afraid that it will not be good if you eat it." Xiao Qi reminded Hongfu to eat less cold food, and reached out to take the baby in her arms and hold it in her arms to tease her.

Hongfu, who was standing beside him, looked at the grapes and sighed, "The late emperor stopped his spirits, and this year the ice cellars in each prefecture have almost been collected in the palace, and there is rarely anything left."

Fang Ru, who was beside her, handed a round fan to Hongfu, "No, it's not. It's still very hot this summer. There were some ice left in the Mo family. I was afraid that the two brothers would be hot, so I secretly sent half of the car. It happened that the eighth aunt from the East Mansion saw it. She wanted to go half of it, and didn't dare to use the rest often. She could only put some in the copper pot at the head of the bed while my brother was sleeping at night."

"Grandma Eighth Grandma? Why did she come to our side?" Hongfu was surprised.

Fangru glanced at the outside and whispered, "I borrowed money."

"The last time the birthday gift was so ugly, I came here again?" Hong Fu.

"Last time, it was a method of surrendering her mother-in-law, but this time it seemed to be true. It was said that the saint was checking the old accounts of the past years. The Zhou family was eager to block the deficit and was eager to use the money for a while. The third house was just emptied by the Zhao family. Now there was no money for her, so she had to borrow it from the big house and our house." Fangru curled her lips, "I used to have fewer doors in our house, but now my sister-in-law called her sweet." The eighth aunt looked down on their wife's background. She used to ignore them, but now she was able to be a low-key man.

Hongfu looked at Xiaoqi. Such servants can only say some gossip and relieve their anger. What should we do if we really need to do is to make the decision.

Xiaoqi smiled and didn't say whether to borrow it or not. In fact, Li Chu had already said hello to her. The court was investigating the old case. The new lord wanted to remove some old ministers and leave his position to his confidant. As the favorite minister of the late emperor, Zhou Yanlong might have to do his business sooner or later.

For the Li family, Zhou Yanlong's pawn was considered useless, but given his in-laws with the Li family, the Li family would definitely not let him return it too ugly. It still has to borrow it. It is just that before borrowing, he must play a role at least, otherwise it will be useless to waste the time and money spent by the Li family on him.

As for what the function was, Li Chu didn't say it, just told her to respond for the time being, and at the same time she had to clarify the difficulties of our family.

Xiao Qi realized the conclusion that he cried poorly!

Therefore, after Li Xiruo asked to borrow money, she first said that brothers and sisters should be helping each other, and they must have helped each other. However, afterwards, they contacted Dayuan. The family spent a lot of money to comfort Qinchuan's military and civilians. In short, we were very poor, but we would find ways to sell blood to raise money to save the Zhou family's life.

After doing this, Xiaoqi suddenly felt that he was hypocritical and even a little vulgar.

They did pay a lot of money in the battle of Dayuankou, but afterwards, Hei not only paid back the money, but also gave them an extra 5,000 taels for the purpose of settling down...

After listening to Fang Ru and Hongfu's gossip during the day, when Li Chu returned home in the evening, Xiaoqi told him about his self-deprecation.

Li Chu thought carefully for a while, "If you feel uneasy, just think about the soldiers who died in battle in Dayuan. If Zhou Yanlong treated us sincerely, he should have written to the court in the morning, saying that state affairs are more important than power struggles. He is an important minister of the court. Although his words cannot control the late emperor, he can put pressure on him. However, his choice is to shrink and watch the show, which is not as good as Wan Mujun. People send people from Yangcheng to send letters of war overnight."

His words woke Xiaoqi up, "Well, I feel happy when I say that. I will slowly delay my change with his family tomorrow." Today is one thousand taels, and tomorrow is one thousand taels.

He took his clothes and put them on the screen, turned around and wanted to leave, but he pulled them closer and his chin was against his chest.

Because the national mourning period was taboo, the couple had to sleep in separate rooms during these days. He simply didn't even touch her bed. After dinner every day, he went to the study in front of him to sleep. He lived such as the ascetic life in the past three months.

To be honest, this is quite inhumane for young couples, especially when there are only lonely men and widows. If you don’t have bad thoughts, bad thoughts will come to your door by yourself, swaying in your head, swaying with a left punch and a right kick to challenge you.

Finally, Li Chu took a deep breath and sat in the bathtub.

Xiaoqi also stood at the scene and then put away the robe on the screen, changing the topic, "I have found out about the Sun family clearly. The girl has indeed run away secretly, but it is not as rumored outside. I heard that the Sun family originally gave him some money to seal the equestrian coach's mouth and sent someone to send him to the northwest. However, he secretly returned with the caravan within half a year. If he couldn't cheat people, he talked everywhere, which harmed the reputation of the Sun family's girl." A small head came out from behind the screen, "The Sun family told her elder sister that she was willing to spend her family's fortune as a dowry. She also said that this matter was easy to deal with. As long as we responded, they would sue the equestrian coach into the yamen with a piece of paper, causing him to be guilty, and the girl's reputation would naturally be restored."

Li Chu snorted coldly, "No matter how much money you give, you can't mess with this kind of thing."

"I think so too, but I always feel that my elder sister has some ideas. No wonder she thinks too much. My elder brother-in-law's family is already weak. After receiving the position in the past two years, she has frequent contacts. Not only did she not save money, but she has paid a lot of money. Among the three children, only the second child is worry-free. My eldest brother-in-law lives a hard life in her in-laws' house. She comes over to ask for some help from now on. Now she still has the cost of marriage in Chang'an, which is really difficult. I also want to find an opportunity to help her, but you know the elder sister's temper. "I still think that she looks down on her if she gives too much, "I understand her thoughts, too.

Fa, she was thinking about Chang'an's future. Chang'an has reached this point and will definitely become an official in the future. With the Sun family's family as a backing, she will not be held back in the officialdom in the future. "The bigger the official, the more powerful people they make, the more they will spend. For example, in their mansion, the less than 70,000 or 80,000 yuan the money they spend every year on socializing and handling. I am afraid that even the northwest wind will not be able to drink it with the little salary given by the court. Otherwise, since ancient times, the powerful and noble families have been aristocratic families, and there are not many generations of accumulation. Who can stand firm at the peak of power by individuals alone?

"It's so messy at the beginning. Chang'an will go up in the future. Is it nice to drag such a reputation? This is called quenching thirst, so she can give up this idea as soon as possible!" When things got to this point, Li Chu thought the marriage must be settled!

Xiaoqi put the clothes on the screen and took the nightgown from the closet and handed them over, "The eldest sister was confused for a while, but the eldest brother-in-law was not confused. I heard that he went to Qingzhou the day before yesterday and wanted to get the letter of recruitment. The Sun family was unwilling to do so. He even said that he was trying to force their girl to death by relying on his power." Whose power? Naturally, he is his uncle, the county prince.

"So what if you give me a fight?" This kind of daughter is a disaster when she gets married. Just look at the big house of the East Mansion, you can tell how many troubles a person has caused?

Xiao Qi said worriedly, "This is something that cannot be explained. If you do it too urgently, it will splash yourself in mud. It will make you look good on the surface. If the girl is unable to think about it and really does something stupid, this life will not only be counted on Chang'an, but also on you. You are now in the process of recovery and will be going to Jiazhou soon, so why bother causing this trouble?"

"..." She said it was quite reasonable. Now that the new master has just ascended the throne, he was about to give him some face. At this time, isn't he trying to slap the new master in the face? "You can do it, and in addition, the marriage in Chang'an, please help me see. There are few people in my elder sister." The in-laws I found are really not allowed to be on the table.

"Ah? I want to be a matchmaker again?" Last time, for the sake of peace of mind, she almost grew white hair, and another one came?

"You will come to find your wife in the future, so you should try it in advance." After choosing a son-in-law and choosing a daughter-in-law, they will have to experience these two things sooner or later.
