Xu Hui glared at her eyes, is it just a mere number, is 300 jin a small number?

His Majesty Li Er laughed and said, "Xiao Zhao loves his sister, and the beloved concubine should be happy. Well, three hundred guan is not expensive. This strange stone must be hard to come by, but there is no one in the world who wants to find the same one."

Xiao Zhao nodded his head repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, I think so too."

Xu Hui rolled her eyes helplessly, but she really liked this stone, and the brackets under it were also exquisitely made, complementing the stone.

Xiao Zhao's eyes rolled and said, "Your Majesty, sister, and the gifts to His Highness the Princess, how about sending them to me?"

This is the rhythm of running away. Xu Hui had to nod because of His Majesty Li Er's presence and said, "Go, don't forget to start tomorrow and go to the palace to study."

"I know, I know." Xiao Zhao's head was lit up happily, greeted two palace servants, and walked out of the palace gate with a few boxes.

Seeing that the little sister had left, Xu Hui turned to His Majesty Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, are you here to rescue Xiao Zhao?"

Alas, His Majesty Li Er waved his hand, and his feet were still moving, and he smiled and said, "I'm just walking around and I happened to see Buer serpent in the courtyard. Thinking that I haven't seen Xiao Zhao for a long time, I came in and take a look."

Xu Hui smiled and looked at His Majesty Li Er with that look, as if saying: It's a good make-up, do you believe it yourself?

His Majesty Li Er laughed and said, "Xiao Zhao is smart and knowledgeable, so why should you be too harsh? If it is a boy, you let him pass the imperial examination; this is enough for the Nuwa family now."

Xu Hui pursed her lips and said, "Although Your Majesty is right, you can't indulge her too much. You can't listen to her words, but it's not good to spend money."

His Majesty Li Er nodded and stopped arguing with Xu Hui. However, he thought to himself: I am afraid that you, the sister, don’t know how much money the Xu family has. If you know, you wouldn’t think that hundreds of stakes are a big sum.

In order to change the topic, His Majesty Li Er asked casually: "I was talking to Buer outside just now. Listen to her, why does the Xu family have a rule that girls are not allowed to get married until fifteen?"

Xu Hui smiled and said, "Is Xiao Lang's rule? Is it a few words in the letter that said that the girl is too young and has not grown up, and early marriage is harmful but not beneficial."

"If it's a late marriage, wouldn't my Tang Dynasty's population grow even slower?" His Majesty Li Er disagreed and shook his head and said, "Is this a matter of Qi Lin's opinion?"

Xu Hui said: "This is not all Xiaolang's idea. He is still young, how can he understand these things? He heard that Lu Yuxian often had a difficult childbirth, and often had tragedies in which mother and son died. He thought it would be better to get married late."

After pausing, she added: "Lu Yu Xiansheng also used an example. There is a term in Go that is 'first and later, later first', and early marriage and late marriage each account for one."

His Majesty Li Er pondered for a while and said, "As for Go, I know that 'first and then,' and it's explained in the "Chess Sutra".

After pausing, His Majesty Li Er seemed to have some understanding and said, "I understand something about what Immortal Lu Yu is pointing to."

Xu Hui didn't care about this, after all, she had never experienced it before. Seeing that His Majesty Li Er explained it clearly, she did not mention this matter. Sitting in front of the tea set, she carefully made up the fragrant tea and gave it to His Majesty Li Er.

"Well, the taste is very good." His Majesty Li Er took a sip and praised: "What kind of tea is the beloved concubine? I don't seem to have eaten it."

Xu Hui smiled and said, "This is a tea produced in Wuling Mountain brought by Qiqi. Although it tastes good, it has no reputation."

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "If it were Qi Lin, he would definitely give him a good name and make up a story to double the value of this tea produced in Wuling Mountain."

Xu Hui blinked her big eyes and said, "It's not good to have too expensive tea, so the common people won't drink it?"

His Majesty Li Er also blinked his eyes and smiled without saying a word. The common people can’t afford to drink tea, so just drink something else. When there was no tea in the past, didn’t they live like that too!

Seeing Xu Hui lowering his head to make tea again, his focused and quiet expression made His Majesty Li Er finally not talk about the assassination of Xu Qilin's mansion.

…………………

As night fell, a man came to Du He's mansion, and immediately made the atmosphere in the study become strange.

Du He had a gloomy face. He listened to the report of this confidant servant, but he felt secretly glad in his heart.

Since sending people to bribe assassins to Ganzhou to assassinate Xu Qilin, Du He has been restless and even feels regretful all the time.

It’s okay. It’s true that you have a relationship with me, but it’s a bit too much to kill him. The only thing I blamed was that I was so angry that I came up with this trick.

But the person has already set out, and it is not only difficult to recall it, but he still cannot escape the relationship after the news leaks.

Therefore, these days, Du He has been thinking about it and sometimes wakes up when he sleeps at night.

Now, things finally came to an end. Although it was not the most satisfying Du He, he could still feel relieved even after the consequences were eliminated.

"I found an assassin who contacted the middleman. Now both the middleman and the assassin have-" The disciple reached out and made a cut-down move, "This matter has no evidence and no future."

Du He breathed a sigh of relief, his face calmed down, and nodded and praised: "Well done, I'll give up this matter. I don't want to hear any more related words in the future."

The guest hurriedly bowed and said, "Du Lang, don't worry, this matter is broken in someone's stomach, and no one knows about it."

"Okay." Du He smiled and said, "Tomorrow, we will pay 200 trump cards from the account in the mansion, so let's have a good rest in the capital!"

"Xie Dulang." After thanking the guest, he stepped back.

Du He thought about it and felt that the guest was left for the time being, and then listen to the news. Moreover, there was no more middleman and assassin, and there was no evidence to report it to him.

This client not only had a relationship with him, but also worked very hard, and Du He was really reluctant to get rid of him.

Besides, Xu Qilin was fine and there were no clues. After a long time, no one would mention it again and no one would follow it up again.

Well, it doesn't matter if you fail.

Du He sat down, relaxed his body and nerves, and finally could sleep peacefully.

…………………

There is no reason to guard against thieves every day.

Just as Du He thought, he could not find clues, find traces of the assassin, and could not think of who would harm him, so Xu Qilin had to give up.

Life is on the right track again, and the regular routine seems to be living the day over and over again.

Cotton harvests were packed and sent to the workshop, and busy weaving began again; grain was counted and stored, trade became more active, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

According to the promise, Jiangnan in the Shushang River has been built, and Xu Qilin is not in a hurry to go back.

In his letter to Li Sipang, Xu Qilin learned that the "Kuodizhi" will be compiled in a few months. In other words, Li Sipang will get another big lottery.

And this big lottery is another great excitement for Li Chengqian. Perhaps it is possible that he began to embark on the road of rebellion because of this.

In other words, the fifteenth and sixteenth years of Zhenguan were sensitive periods. Li Chengqian was no longer having fun, but began to really commit suicide.

You said this guy didn't know anything about himself, others didn't understand, and his father didn't know it, so he was an expert in coup.

Just the rotten garlic that Li Chengqian had won over, and he was thinking of putting his father under house arrest. He ascended the throne to the emperor, which was too naive.

Therefore, Xu Qilin didn't want to wade into this muddy water. If possible, it would be best to return to the capital after Li Chengqian died.

Of course, it depends on His Majesty Li Er's intention. If he was summoned back, he would have thought of a few ways to stay out of the matter.

The Western Regions are temporarily in the stage of consolidation of operations and there will be no major issues. His Majesty Li Er's eyes are probably about to turn to Liaodong, and Xu Qilin can take the initiative to volunteer to go to Hebei Road to prepare for the conquest.

The prosperity of Gan and Su prefectures has proved Xu Qilin's management ability. In order to learn from the lessons of Emperor Yang of Sui, His Majesty Li Er would probably agree with Xu Qilin's request.

So, Xu Qilin is now waiting for the court to arrange it. It’s okay if you ask me to go back, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t go back.

Crack! In the light of the hunting knife in Fang Er, a small tree was cut off from the waist. Xiao Qi and Xixi on the tree next to him were so shocked that they flew around and sang around the garden, and they did not dare to fall down for a long time.

"There are only a few trees in the garden, and you have cut three of them." Xu Qilin complained to Fang Er, who walked over proudly, "Is there not enough wooden targets for you to cut?"

Fang Er waved his hand and said with confidence: "Some family thinks it is more powerful to cut down trees!"

Xu Qilin rolled his eyes and felt that he should give the house two axes and let him go to the mountains to log wood.

Fang Er walked closer, sat in the chair next to him, took the teapot, and poured it into his mouth.

Xu Qilin shook his head, ignored this fool, took the paintbrush and continued to complete the work.

The human face on the paper has been formed, and it is a cute girl, sticking out her tongue playfully. Although it has not yet been colored, it looks very much like Xiaoye's image.

"Whose girl is this?" Fang Er wiped the water stains on his mouth, looked over and asked curiously.

Xu Qilin replied casually: "I forgot to see it somewhere, and I just thought it was very cute, so I just drew one."

Fang Er didn't ask in detail, turned to look at A Ke in the distance, lying in the hammock, and couldn't help but say, "Why is A Ke so fond of basking in the sun? It's strange?"

Are there few strange places? Xu Qilin smiled, too lazy to answer this question.

Xiaoye likes the sun so much, and even her mood is related to the weather. Qinglang is cloudless, and when the sun is bright, she is particularly happy; when the clouds are dense, she is a little melancholy.

Yes, it’s melancholy. Xiaoye also had the emotions that originally belonged to A Ke, which made Xu Qilin feel somewhat strange.

According to his guess, although the two souls are together, they will still be affected by this.

Xiaoye has inherited A Ke's skills and can sing and play the piano. But she just doesn't like to open her mouth or do things, but she is fascinated by listening to others' singing.

Looking at Xiaoye's playful image on the paper, Xu Qilin couldn't help but sigh quietly. No wonder Daya was not very happy. She could never see her own girl's appearance again, and loss was inevitable.

"Borrow some two chunks of money." Fang Er took a rest for a while, then walked towards the training ground, and said to Xu Qilin casually.

Xu Qilin hesitated for a moment. He didn't care about the two-character money, but felt that Fang Er had been tricked for so long, which was really pitiful.

"I said—" Xu Qilin couldn't help but persuade: "Don't play mahjong with Ajiani and the others. I play every night, are you tired of it?"

Fang Er stopped, smiled at Xu Qilin, and said, "Do you think someone doesn't know that A Jiani is cheating? It's just a little money, just to have fun."

Xu Qilin couldn't help but open his eyes wide and looked at Fang Er with some admiration. This guy seemed stupid, but in fact he had some brains and eyesight. It was really convincing to be able to endure it and not say it.

Fang Er waved his hand and walked straight to the training ground. He stole a horse, exhaled and kicked the wooden target man.

Not long after, A Ke walked over with a dark face and complained before he even approached, "If you practice martial arts, practice martial arts. What are you calling? It's so quarrels that people can't even burn the sun."

Fang Er smiled silently, but ignored it, his eyes widened, and he fisted with luck, and suddenly broke the wooden target.

Well, this hard qigong is a bit hot. Xu Qilin nodded secretly. Fang Er would not starve to death even if he went to the street to sell Dali Pills!

Seeing Fang Er ignore him, Xiaoye turned his direction again and came to Xu Qilin. He saw the portrait he was painting at a glance, and couldn't help but make a surprise sound.

"Do you know?" Xu Qilin teased with a smile: "This girl's tongue can spit very long, but I didn't dare to draw it!"
