Another New Year is coming. According to the past habits, Li Zhang summoned all his brothers and sisters to Huiweizhai for a New Year's Eve dinner. In the past two years, these brothers and sisters have married one after another. I won't talk about Li'er, Douzi, Wild Gou and Xiuxiu, but there is only one person who has not gotten married, and that is the ugly mother who is in trouble.

Speaking of which, the ugly girl is indeed not good-looking. She could have plastic surgery in later generations, but now she has no choice. Moreover, the ugly girl is very capable. Now she is in charge of Qianxing with Huozi and Douzi. With her current status, ordinary men cannot catch her eyes. Li Zhang doesn't know how many times she has kissed her, but she just disagrees, and Li Zhang has no choice for this.

However, during the Chinese New Year, Li Zhang also privately warned other brothers not to marry in front of Chou Niang. Chou Niang was also open-minded and was not eager to get married. He even said in private that he did not want to get married. This made Li Zhang think of Miaoyuan, and he really didn't know how the women around him had such thoughts?

After the New Year, the Chinese New Year is the Spring Festival. However, Miaoyuan and Qingzhi have just given birth this year and are both recuperating at home. Yan Niang has been feeling a little uncomfortable these two days, and it seems to have signs of pregnancy, but it is still not sure, so Li Zhang originally planned to stay at home with his wife and children.

But unexpectedly, An Ran is older. Although she doesn't know the significance of the Lantern Festival, she knows that it's very lively outside these two days, and there are many snacks and toys she likes, so she insists on going out to play. In desperation, Li Zhang can only take her out with her in person. Speaking of which, this is the first time that their father and daughter went out alone to play, which is quite interesting.

An Ran looks very much like Li Zhang in both appearance and personality, or to be precise, she looks like Li Er. Both aunts and nephews are cheerful and lively, so Li Zhang brought An Ran to the street, and the girl's little mouth never stopped. She clamored for this and then asked for that. In order to let her daughter enjoy the beautiful scenery at night, Li Zhang simply let her sit on her neck, so that the little girl's vision would be higher.

At the beginning, the little girl was very happy. She bought things and asked the guards behind to take a lot of things. Although An Ranxiao looked very delicate, the little girl actually knew how to bring gifts to Qingzhi and Yan Niang, and even had gifts to her little brother in her infancy. Of course, Li Zhang, the father, had many gifts, which made Li Zhang feel that his daughter was like a little angel. If possible, he really wanted to give all the beauty in this world to his daughter as a gift.

However, the child's energy comes and goes quickly. When the third day of the game, An Ran has already started to doze off. The wet nurse behind wanted to take it, but was rejected by Li Zhang. Instead, she personally held the little guy in her arms and prepared to go home to rest.

However, at this moment, Li Zhang suddenly heard a familiar voice and shouted: "Brother Li?"

Li Zhang also heard the sound at this time, but when he saw the person who called him, he was so scared that he almost ran away in panic. He never dreamed that he would meet this person in the capital!

Li Zhang wanted to escape at this time, but he was embarrassed. After all, he had already seen him, so he could only show a stiff smile to the other party and said, "Brother Rupei, why are you in the capital?"

I saw that the person who called Li Zhang was a young and handsome man. Although there were many young and beautiful girls on the Lantern Festival, the appearance of this man was no worse than those women. Li Zhang was even more impressed by this man because he was the ex-husband of Empress Cao, Li Zhi, and Li Zhi had no other problems, but one thing was that he was a good manly style, especially last time he showed great interest in Li Zhang.

"It's really Brother Li, it's great. It's true that I'm lucky to meet you thousands of miles away. I didn't expect to meet Brother Li in the capital!" When Li Zhi saw Li Zhang, he couldn't help but scream excitedly, and then quickly stepped forward. At this time, Li Zhang also found that Li Zhi was alone and had no other companions beside him except two servants.

When Li Zhang heard the sentence "I am destined to meet each other for thousands of miles", he couldn't help but feel a toothache. Although the other party was saying the truth, he always felt that it was awkward to use it here. However, Li Zhi quickly thought of another thing, and asked again: "Brother Li, have you returned to the south? Why did you appear in the capital again?"

At that time, Li Zhang's pseudonym was Li Wei and said that he was going to Hangzhou to worship his ancestors. Now, looking at Li Zhi's appearance, he probably didn't know Li Zhang's true identity, so Li Zhang did not say it out loud, and said, "I came back early this year, and my family's business expanded to the capital, so I have been staying in the capital for more than half a year. I wonder why Brother Li, you are here?"

Li Zhang is also very curious now. You should know that Li Zhi is Queen Cao's ex-husband. Even if Zhao Zhen does not pursue the matter, Li Zhi should not appear in the capital, so as not to be reported by someone. If Zhao Zhen finds an excuse to punish him, no one will save him.

"Don't mention it, I was also driven to the shelves. I had no choice but to come to the capital. And after today's separation, I don't know if I will have a chance to see Brother Li again in the future..." Li Zhi smiled bitterly at this time, and then he explained the reason why he came to the capital. Li Zhang was also very surprised after hearing this, because he didn't expect that Li Zhi came to invite the capital and was actually related to him?

It turned out that Li Zhi's father Li Shiheng had been sent to Liao Goryeo, which was the last time the Song Dynasty sent envoys to Goryeo. Later, the two countries cut off exchanges, of course, it was just official exchanges, and there were still a lot of commercial exchanges among the people.

Previously, Li Zhang suggested that he could contact Goryeo secretly, and to make the subtle situation between Goryeo and Liao. As long as the Song Dynasty encouraged him a little, Goryeo might send troops to remove the nails of Liao's country south of the Yalu River. If you want to persuade Goryeo, the candidate for this envoy is very important. However, Li Zhang never expected that the last envoy selected by the court was Li Zhi in front of him.

"Originally, the court wanted my father to go there again, but my father was old and got a serious illness last year and could not travel far. In the end, I didn't know what to do. The court actually ordered me to be appointed as an envoy. After going through thousands of mountains and rivers, the situation in Goryeo is not clear, and I don't know if I can come back safely?" Finally, Li Zhi sighed and said again.

Li Zhang was also moved when he heard this. Although Li Zhi was a child of an official, Li Shiheng's official position was not high and far from being a child. Li Zhi was not from a Jinshi. Don't talk about his experience as an envoy, he didn't even have the experience of being an official. Generally speaking, it would be impossible to send him as an envoy unless he was...

Thinking of one of the possibilities, Li Zhang couldn't help but smile bitterly. If this is the case, it would make sense.
