Liaozhai Great Sage

While talking, Fu Yuechi pulled his sister, but when he saw Li Xiuyuan, he shouted happily: "Brother-in-law, my sister and I are here."

When Fu Qingfeng saw Li Xiuyuan, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. After all, she and Li Xiuyuan had only made a marriage contract, and they hadn't gotten married yet. The little girl kept calling her brother-in-law like this all day long, for fear that others would not know. When I saw Li Xiuyuan for the first time, I was very embarrassed.

"Yuechi, can't you be quieter? This is a yamen, and you don't want anyone to notify you. If you just barge in like this, be careful that you will be arrested at this moment, and a daughter's family should pay attention to self-cultivation, after all. You are not considered a child anymore." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Hee hee, I got it, brother-in-law, then I won't do it next time." Fu Yuechi smiled, not knowing if he listened or not.

Fu Qingfeng knew the general situation very well, and saluted politely: "I have met Mr. Li."

"What Mr. Li, sister, you should call her husband." Fu Yuechi said aside.

Fu Qingfeng blushed, and stared at him: "What nonsense, I, Mr. Li and I haven't married yet, and still, haven't married, how can we call you husband." After talking about it, he was also very embarrassed.

"Brother-in-law, let's go out to play. I've been locked up at home by my father during this time. It's rare to come out today." Fu Yuechi said.

"Mr. Li is busy with business, how can I go out with you to play, Mr. Li, my little sister has such a personality, so don't take it to heart." Fu Qingfeng apologized.

Li Xiuyuan said: "It's okay, I just happen to be fine now, I'll let someone take care of the official business, how can I refuse your kind invitation because it's rare to meet you today?"

He is also a bit guilty now, if he knows that he has asked Qiurong to help him with his official duties, who knows what will happen.

This has to be done slowly.

"That's great, since that's the case, what are you waiting for, brother-in-law, let's go." Fu Yuechi said with a smile, and couldn't wait to pull Li Xiuyuan out.

Fu Qingfeng shook his head, he had no choice but to follow.

But in her heart, she also hopes to get along with her husband more. How can she not feel lovesick when she stays in the mansion during this time? Word.

If it wasn't for the fact that the marriage has already been settled, she is already a member of the Li family, and the big thing in her heart has been decided, maybe she is more anxious than her playful little sister.

Li Xiuyuan hurriedly took the pair of sisters out of the magistrate's yamen, he could go anywhere, sooner or later there would be trouble here.

The prosperity of the capital has long been experienced.

Even though it was the Shangyuan Festival fire that burned nearly half of the south of the city, but other places seemed to be unaffected, what should be done, what should be done.

Under Fu Yuechi's pull, Li Xiuyuan started to play in the capital, sometimes to buy pastries and honey, sometimes to watch tricks, and sometimes to buy some household items.

Several people talked and laughed along the way.

In particular, although Fu Qingfeng doesn't speak much, he has beautiful eyes, and when he looks at Li Xiuyuan, he is satisfied, sweet and admiring.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li, please don't be offended by Mr. Li. Father's temper is like that. He still cares about Mr. Li, but he cares about you, and he is always worried that Mr. Li will do something out of the ordinary. I often fight against you, Mr. Li, just yesterday, my father wrote a letter to defend you, Mr. Li, before all the officials impeached Mr. Li."

On the way, Fu Qingfeng said suddenly, ready to explain to his father when both of them were in a good mood.

Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "Master Fu and I just disagree on political views, and we have no grievances with each other. He knows this, and I know this too. Wasn't he very happy to help me with government affairs when I was in Jinling City? And If it wasn't for fear of implicating me, why would you delay my marriage on purpose? This is because Mr. Fu was afraid that he would be dismissed from office and implicate me."

"Maybe the conflict between Mr. Fu and I can only be reconciled after he resigns from office and goes into seclusion. Qingfeng, don't worry. It is common for the son-in-law to disagree, and we are all reasonable people. What will happen."

"Master Li can think like this, and I feel at ease." Fu Qingfeng said with a slight sigh of relief.

"Hey, brother Li, look, I met you here."

Suddenly, a scholar came towards him from the street next to him. When he saw Li Xiuyuan, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Xiaosheng Zhu Yu, I have met Miss Qingfeng and Miss Yuechi."

"Young Master Zhu." Fu Qingfeng hurriedly saluted.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Brother Zhu, why haven't I seen you recently? Didn't the Lantern Festival fire also burn down your house? Are you okay?"

Zhu Yu smiled and said: "Thanks to Brother Li, everything is fine. These few days I have been helping with disaster relief and saving the people with several elder brothers in the clan. I haven't seen any movement from the imperial court. I can't wait for the imperial court's decree forever." Well, otherwise, I don’t know how many people will be homeless. I heard that brother Li has become the magistrate? I’m really sorry. I have been planning to congratulate you with Brother Zhang and Brother Qian these days, but there are really many things , can’t get away, brother Li, please don’t blame me.”

After finishing speaking, he bent down and saluted again to express his apology.

Li Xiuyuan smiled wryly and said: "If this is a good thing, I should be the one who entertains you, but the prefect is a hard job, can't you see it, Brother Zhu?"

Zhu Yu sighed and said: "I heard from several officials in the court that all the officials are impeaching Brother Li. It seems that Brother Li may not be able to hold the position of magistrate for long. He should return to Yangzhou to feel at ease. One day Brother Li will remember to call me when he goes back, I feel that staying in the capital is a waste of time, why not follow Brother Li to Yangzhou to do something practical for the people."

"If that day comes, why is Brother Zhu missing?" Li Xiuyuan said.

"That's the Zhu Mansion over there. Since we met Brother Li today, why don't you go and sit down, drink a cup of tea, and rest your feet?" Zhu Yu invited.

Zhufu?

Li Xiuyuan's expression moved slightly: "But Master Zhu's residence?"

"Exactly." Zhu Yu nodded.

"In that case, then I should really go to see Old Master Zhu." Li Xiuyuan said.

Zhu Yu's eyes lit up; "That's just right, I will recommend you, brother Li, and Mrs. Zhu is at the residence right now."

After walking forward for a while, he saw the Zhu Mansion.

But when Li Xiuyuan just came, Zhu Qian, Mr. Zhu and several scholars and scholars were already waiting at the door, as if they knew that Li Xiuyuan would come today.

"Master." Seeing this force, Zhu Yu hurriedly respected him.

"The late student met Old Master Zhu." Li Xiuyuan also saluted.

Zhu Qian's eyes were a little dignified and he said: "Zhu Yu, please entertain these two girls, Mrs. Li, I have already expected to visit the old man today, can I invite Mr. Li to have a meeting alone?"

Li Xiuyuan was a little puzzled, why would Old Master Zhu predict that he would come today?

Even with the techniques of deduction and calculus, it stands to reason that he can't figure out his whereabouts today.

"I dare not refuse the invitation of the elders, Master Zhu please."

Although he was puzzled in his heart, he still complied, and then turned to Qingfeng on the left and right, Yuechi said: "It's getting late now, if I don't come back later, Qingfeng, you can take Yuechi back first, so as not to go home at night , let Master Fu worry."

Fu Qingfeng nodded.

"Master Li, this way please." Zhu Qian gestured with a wave of his hand.

Li Xiuyuan walked in Zhu's mansion and asked curiously: "Old Master Zhu seems to have known about my return a long time ago. I don't know who warned the police? Why did you invite me today?"

Zhu Qiandao: "The ancestors entrusted the dream and dared not neglect. They would rather believe in what they had than in nothing, but they didn't want Master Li to really come today. Today's invitation is nothing else, but in the dream the ancestor once said that he would invite Mr. Li to the ancestral hall for a visit." sit."

"Master also believes in ghosts and gods?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

"This old man believes in ancestors, not ghosts and gods." Zhu Qian said.

Li Xiuyuan couldn't help laughing when he heard the words. This sentence showed that Zhu Qian and Master Zhu also believed in the existence of ghosts and gods, and they were not that kind of pedantic literati.

Zhu's mansion is very large, and an ancestral hall was built in a certain garden, and all the ancestors of the Zhu family were enshrined.

On weekdays, only the clan elders take care of it, and ordinary people are forbidden to enter and leave. During important festivals, all members of the Zhu clan will come to worship.
