The baby is all there, the princess is still in the routine

Ning Changle was confused by Xiao Li's "Brother Changle" and took him back to Ningfu.

Xiao Li saw the garden-like mansion with towers and pavilions, and groups of servants, as if he wanted to settle here.The anger that had just subsided came out again.

Xiao Li yin and yang said strangely: "Brother Changle. Life is very comfortable. Looks like it's not worse than the time in Wangfu."

Ning Changle smiled: "There is no one around to sneer and sneer, it is indeed a lot smoother."

Xiao Li has never been better than Ning Changle when it comes to choking people's skills.

Xiao Li's face turned crimson with anger, Ning Changle hooked the corners of his lips happily: "There is a courtyard in the south, I'll let someone clean it out, you are staying there for the time being, if you need anything, just tell Steward Feng."

Steward Feng is about forty years old, he is calm and down-to-earth, and his mouth is strict.Ning Changle only found a suitable candidate for the job two months ago.

After Ning's Bank opened a branch in Lin'an, Ning Changle started the rice business again.

All aspects have just been on the right track, Ning Changle handed over the responsibility of the chief steward to Steward Feng.After settling these things, Kankan set off to rush back to the capital, but met Xiao Li on the way, and turned back again.

"The Lin'an state capital is not far away. Once you've settled down, I'll ask the housekeeper to take you there." Ning Changle said.

"Where is your residence?"

The yard is spacious and large.Xiao Li didn't care much about how far he was from Ning Changle's residence.

Ning Changle raised his chin, Xiao Li looked along, the two yards were separated by a rockery in the garden, it would take an incense stick of time to walk.

This is how much you don't want to see yourself?

Xiao Li blinked, and put on a very aggrieved look: "No need to bother Brother Chang Le so hard, Qing Mu and I will just settle down, if there is any wing room left in your yard, we will live in it.

Brother Changle has been away for four months, and he didn't give any news, but my brother misses him very much, so we can get closer so that we brothers can catch up on the old days. "

Ning Changle rubbed the goosebumps on his body, and they panicked.

"Qing Mu, what unclean food did your prince eat recently?"

Qing Mu scratched his head in embarrassment: "I think you're going crazy."

"Shut up." Xiao Li blushed with embarrassment.

"Forget it. There are still two vacant rooms, Steward Feng, please let someone clean it up." Ning Changle said helplessly.

Xiao Li raised his eyebrows, it seems that the act of acting coquettishly and cheating that mother said really works.

Prince?Butler Feng was terrified when he heard that.

The old man of his family was young, but he acted vigorously and resolutely. In just a few months, everyone in the entire Lin'an business community knew his strength.Unexpectedly, the master and the royal family and nobles are called brothers, and their speech and behavior are quite intimate. The master is really not simple.

Butler Feng didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately asked someone to do it.Ning Changle's Xinyue Pavilion is already tidy, it just needs to be cleaned carefully and some new bedding added.

In a short time, the room was tidied up.

"You have been on the road for several days, take a nap first, and I will ask the servant to deliver food to the house later."

Ning Changle stood up and was about to leave when someone grabbed his sleeves firmly.Xiao Li's eyes were wet, mixed with reluctance, grievance and longing.

Ning Changle was startled, his heart softened suddenly, and he said softly: "Let go, I won't disappear."

Xiao Li let go of his hand as if he had just woken up from a dream, and with red ears, he answered "OK".

Jiu An followed Ning Changle out of the room, and quietly asked the master: "Master, the prince seems to be a little different."

"What's the difference?"

Ning Changle was in a good mood, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he asked with interest.

Jiu An affirmed: "Weak."

"Weak?" Ning Changle asked in confusion.

"To the young master, let alone domineering, sometimes I feel like a cockfight, always provoking you. When I meet again today, I look in your eyes, like an abandoned kitten, weak and pitiful."

Jiu'an rubbed his chin and shook his head: "My lord is so pitiful. When I met you, the tiger turned into a milk cat."

Ning Changle lowered his head to straighten the wrinkled cuffs just grabbed by Xiao Li, his voice was a little sour, "If that's the case, how could he make up so readily? He hasn't written to me for so long."

Jiu'an sighed silently, thinking that the master has been busy day and night in the past few months, opening and expanding stores non-stop, in fact, it is to finish the business in Lin'an as soon as possible and rush back to the capital.

She saw the master sitting at the desk several times, holding a pen in a daze, and she was so angry that she refused to write letters.

It's really awkward, both of them are awkward.

After Xiao Li rested, he went to say hello to Ning Changan before going out, but when he found that he was not there, he asked Steward Feng to find out that Ning Changle was greeting guests in the living room.

He tentatively asked: "What guest? Could it be someone who came to say hello?"

Butler Feng did not doubt that he was there, and replied extremely respectfully and politely: "There are indeed many people who came to say goodbye, but they were all rejected by the master. The guest is our largest ship in Lin'an, Fan Shidong, the young owner of the Fan's ship. He is dissatisfied with the distinguished guest , the villain is the butler that Young Master Fan introduced to Master."

Ning Changle's temperament is more vigilant than a cat, if the relationship is not close, he will never use someone introduced by others.

Fan Shidong!

Xiao Li put the name in his mouth, gritted his teeth, and asked the housekeeper to take him to see Ning Changle without any explanation.

Xiao Li stepped into the hall door, looking sharply at the strange man, who looked like a dog, and looked to be in his twenties.

Xiao Li's vigilance suddenly became full, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Brother Changle, this person is..."

Xiao Li's eyes were too sharp, and Fan Shidong felt fear for no reason, staring at him like a wild beast, and his throat might be bitten at any moment.

Who is this man?Why are you so vicious towards him?

Fan Shidong didn't know why, so he looked at Ning Changle questioningly.

"Fan Shidong, shipping partner."

Ning Changle pointed at Xiao Li again, "Xiao Li, my... sworn brother."

When Ning Changle said the word "righteous brother", Xiao Li's ears twitched invisibly, and his heart was about to vomit to death. The good "husband" became "righteous brother".

"Since he is Wan's brother-in-law, he is also Fan's brother-in-law. Brother Xiao Li, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Fan Shidong closed the swaying jade fan, clasped his fists and saluted.

Younger brother?It's awful.

Xiao Li snorted coldly: "You can't afford it."

Fan Shidong's face was dull and he was extremely embarrassed. He somehow offended Ning Changle's brother-in-law.

"Xiao Li!" Ning Changle scolded coldly.

Ning Changle's voice was annoyed, Xiao Li shut up aggrievedly, and gave Ning Changle a gouging look in his eyes.

Fan Shidong thought to himself: This Xiao Li looks vicious, but he really listens to Chang Le's words.

He tried to ease the atmosphere and said: "You said that you will leave Lin'an for a while, I haven't slept well in the past few days. I am so happy to hear that you have gone and returned. I specially set up a banquet in Tianxiang Tower, please my younger brother. Let's drink together."

Drink together?Xiao Li's nerves were violently provoked, the veins on his forehead bulged, he grabbed Ning Changle's wrist, gritted his teeth and said, "Ning Changle, are you drinking with him?"

"Drink tea together." Ning Changle patted Xiao Li's hand away, speechless.

"Yes, my wording was not precise enough. This..."

Fan Shidong pondered for a while, and said, "My dear friend, why don't we go together?"

Ning Changle: "He doesn't need it."

Xiao Li's face was extremely ugly, and he said angrily: "I heard that the food in Lin'an is the best in the world, and I just want to taste it, thank you Brother Fan."

"What about your business?" Ning Changle asked with a half-smile.

Xiao Li was taken aback, and said falteringly: "I see that Brother Fan is quite close to each other, why don't we all get together in another day?"

Ning Changle blasted Xiao Li out.

With a sullen face, Xiao Li went to Lin'an Prefecture with Qing Mu.

Lord Li of the Zhizhou, Lord Wei, the chief of the Lin'an Navy, and a group of bureaucrats were waiting here early.

After a brief ceremony, Xiao Li sat on the head, his face was stern, showing the majesty of the superior.

"My lords, tell me why the [-] sailors in Lin'an can't beat the mere [-] water bandits?"

Xiao Li's eyes seemed to be substantively oppressed, abruptly forcing the officials present to break into a cold sweat.

Li Zhizhou secretly pushed the head of the guard.

The Chief of the Guard City bowed his hands, looked carefully at Xiao Li's face and said: "His Royal Highness, this group of water bandits are tough, their warships are well equipped and equipped with firearms, our warships are really hard to get any favors from.

Moreover, he has been entrenched here all year round, and he knows all the waterways very well. The subordinate officials have sent ships repeatedly, but they have not found a hiding place. They are very cunning.The next official is incompetent, please forgive me. "

"Take me to the navy stationed in Hong Kong, I want to see for myself. In addition, sort out the documents and files of the battles with the water bandits over the years, and send... to the Ning Mansion. The family in Hedongfang." Xiao Li said .

Ningfu?All the bureaucrats looked at each other in blank dismay. They heard that King An had never been to Lin'an, so how could there be any acquaintances?

It was getting dark, and the night market was set up on the street. The vendors were clamoring to attract customers, and the aroma of food permeated the whole street.

Clutching his hungry stomach, Qing Mu murmured: "My lord, let's buy some snacks. The reception banquet arranged by this group of Laoshizi officials doesn't care about their fill at all, and they keep drinking too much."

The reception banquet was arranged in the Fengyue Tower, and the dishes only looked good, and the portions were not enough.A dozen beauties came, and according to Li Zhizhou, they were all top prostitutes and dancers in Lin'an.

At the end of the banquet, Li Zhizhou also arranged a fragrant room for Xiao Li to choose at will.

Xiao Li declined several times before he was able to escape.This is the custom of receiving banquets of local officials. Although Xiao Li hates it, he doesn't want to criticize it in public.

The emperor did not increase his troops. He needed to rely on the local navy to defeat the water bandits, and it was not appropriate to fight against local officials.

There was a faint smell of sweet-scented osmanthus wine wafting over Xiao Li's nose, Xiao Li followed the smell and came to a small shop.

"Guest officer, you have a taste of Jiu Niang Yuanzi. It's fragrant, waxy and sweet, and it's delicious when it's warm." The peddler said with a smile on his face.

Xiao Li had never eaten this kind of local snack, so he ordered two bowls, one for each of Qing Mu.

The small balls made of glutinous rice flour are white and tender, with the aroma of wine and sweet-scented osmanthus fused together. After one bite, it is extremely smooth, delicious and sweet, as if a warm current rushes into the stomach.

"Pack a bowl." Xiao Li liked it very much, and wanted to bring it back for Ning Changle to taste.

"Guest officer, we don't pack it. It's inconvenient to have soup. If you like it, you can drink two more bowls." The vendor said shyly.

"Jiao Niang Yuanzi, add a bowl together." This is not easy, just take it back directly.

After Xiao Li paid the copper plate, he took up a bowl of steaming rice balls, and covered the top of the bowl with his sleeve to prevent dust from falling into it.Stimulate internal strength and maintain temperature.

Qing Mu imitated the example, and brought a bowl of rice balls prepared with wine to give to Jiu'an.

Xiao Li hurried all the way back to Ning Mansion, his heart was jumping with joy, his expression was flying high, hoping that Ning Changle would also like it.
