Old Sun never expected that the jars and clay pots that Li Man'er asked him to buy, which he mistakenly thought were burdensome, would actually come in handy in the end.
Lao Sun returned to Li Shu's residence and reported back: "Master Hou, the eldest lady packed her luggage immediately after listening to your instructions. She is only waiting for your words and can leave at any time."
Li Shu didn't expect that Li Man'er would respond so happily this time, and he couldn't find a reason to get angry. He could only snort with his nose to express his dissatisfaction.
Lao Sun was also impatient to see Li Shu like this. In his eyes, Li Shu was incompetent and a confused person who couldn't understand.
It's hard to tell who is good and who is bad.
"Master Marquis, the eldest lady asked me to remind you that the third master is still waiting for news about you at the inn! If you go to the old city, do you have to meet up with the third master? Should you ask the third master to accompany you, or should you ask the third master to turn around?
There must be an explanation when I return to Beijing."
Li Shu almost forgot about this.
The third wife is the only concubine of the Li family. She has been away from home for so many years and rarely in the capital. The relationship between the brothers is very weak.
Li Shu felt that if Li Nian stayed here, not only would he not be able to help, but he might even cause trouble. Li Nian was also a military commander, so what if he stayed and took away his credit? More importantly, Li Shu still wanted to stay in the old city.
After getting rid of Li Man'er, he was afraid that Li Nian's staying would ruin his good deeds and break his murderous intention, so he really didn't want to see Li Nian, so he ordered Lao Sun to make a trip to the inn to tell Li Nian,
He just said that he was fine and asked Li Nian to return to Beijing.
The old grandson was shocked. People said that a father and his son are brothers who fight tigers. The third master escorted the eldest girl all the way to Mobei to rescue people. It is hard work without any credit. It was so dangerous along the way, either wolves or barbarians.
There were also uncertain factors such as horse bandits, but in the end they were told to get out without even meeting him.
While Old Sun was stunned, Li Shu's impatient voice rang out, "Why are you still here? Hurry up and deliver the letter. Now the Xiao family is also eager for us to go to the old city quickly and won't stop you."
Lao Sun lowered his head slightly, turned around and went out without even saying a word. He quickly walked to Li Man'er's yard and told Li Shu's exact words with a dark face.
Li Maner knew what was going on as soon as he heard it!
That scumbag dad is afraid that Li Nian will take the credit.
And listening to Li Shu's intention, he was afraid that he would take action against him. He was afraid that Li Nian's presence would ruin the good deeds he wanted to do, so he thought of sending him away.
Li Man'er chuckled lightly, but didn't take it to heart, and said: "You can go there and tell the third master that I want to buy jars and jars, and ask him to send someone out to buy as many as you need. Also,
, the battle achievements are right in front of us, there is no reason not to go, let the third master prepare, and take Qingyan with him to gain some knowledge."
When Lao Sun was about to say something, Li Man'er said: "That's all, let the third master make his own choice. Explain the matter clearly to him. Whether to go or stay, follow his wishes."
Lao Sun had no choice but to report the news.
"Girl, what the Marquis has done is so chilling." After all, Liu Ya is someone close to Mr. Yu, and her heart goes to Sanfang.
Why did Li Nian escort Li Man'er to Mobei? To put it bluntly, wasn't it to save Mr. Hou's character? But when he turned around, the two brothers didn't even see each other, let alone a word of thanks.
"Huh, he's always been cold and cold." He's not very human yet.
Although Liu Ya was angry, she also knew that she was not qualified to judge Li Shu, so she could only stay angry.
"Is everything neatly packed?"
"Don't worry, girl, everything is packed." Liu Ya said, "Except for the medicine box, medicinal materials, and some of the girl's clothes, there are not many other things around."
Li Man'er nodded, "Then let's wait and leave here as soon as there is news from Lao Sun."
"Girl, I dare to ask, are you not afraid of going to the old city?" Liu Ya has followed Li Nian and his wife for many years. She has seen a lot in the military, and her sensitivity to war is much higher than that of ordinary people.
She saw a series of actions of the government office, some arrangements made by Xiao Rudi, and Li Shu's impatience. She also thought about the constant wars at the border every year, and those barbarians were not celebrating the New Year, so she had some guesses in her heart.
"What's so scary?" Li Man'er sighed softly, "If we can't stop the barbarians, Mobei, and even the entire country, will become a battlefield. That would be scary."
Liu Ya naturally knew how powerful it was, so she said nothing more.
Besides, Lao Sun left the government office and went straight to Li Nian's residence.
The Chinese New Year was about to come, but the inn they were staying in had no intention of closing down. Anyone who came to Mobei to do business at the end of the New Year, or had ulterior motives, could not make it, so they could only stay in the inn.
Celebrating the New Year here.
The owner of the inn was very hospitable, and in order to earn more money, he kept supporting the guests and did not give the guys a holiday.
When Lao Sun arrived at the backyard where Li Nian and others lived, he immediately found Li Nian and told him about the possibility of a war at the end of the year.
Li Nian looked a little excited, "Brother is back as before, presumably he will lead troops to fight against the enemy?"
"Yes! It's just that the Marquis doesn't want you to go there, so he asked me to bring a message to the Third Master to ask you to go back."
Li Nian frowned, then smiled, "What did your girl say?"
Lao Sun was a little helpless. He seemed to have sold it to Li Maner now.
"The girl said, let you make your own decision. You can go if you want, and stay if you want. But I also said before that with such a good opportunity, I want you to take Mr. Qingyan with you." Lao Sun said truthfully, and then said:
"Third Master, the eldest girl also wants to buy jars and clay pots. The more the better."
Jar, clay pot?
"What does she want with those?" The more, the better.
"The villain doesn't know." Old Sun said awkwardly: "The eldest girl is very mysterious and doesn't say anything. She just asked the villain to buy these things for her. She will take them to the old city for use."
Li Nian thought about it, Li Man'er never messed around, and what she wanted was definitely not a whim.
"If you do this, I will send someone to accompany you to buy them. Recently, we have been all over this area, and we may not be able to find out anything else. It is still very easy to buy jars and clay pots."
After hearing this, Lao Sun obviously breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you so much, Mr. Third, but I still need to ask Mr. Third to make an idea on whether to go to the old city or not."
Li Nian said: "During this period, Man'er has been talking back to her father a lot, right?"
The eldest niece is so good-natured, outstanding in everything, and has a strong temper, so I'm afraid she won't be able to bear all the things her elder brother does.
Lao Sun thought to himself, this is more than just talking back!
If it weren't for his bloodline, the Marquis would have died countless times. Several times, he saw murderous intent flashing in Li Man'er's eyes, and he almost took action.
"It's just that the father and daughter are having a quarrel." Lao Sun didn't want to say more, but seemed like a talkative woman.
