"Okay!" Li Wenshan's voice was trembling.

"Pull the hook!" Li Xia stretched out his little finger. Li Wenshan reached out to hook his sister's hand with great solemnity and shook it hard. No matter how difficult it was, no matter what sacrifices he had to make, he would protect his family and his younger brother.

younger sister!

The attentive Li Dong discovered that after talking to his sister for a while on the deck, the fifth brother was in a daze and lost his mind. Li Dong couldn't help but ask what the two said. Li Wenshan and Li Xia shook their heads together, "Nothing!"

"

………………

In the evening, Li Xueming, the newly appointed magistrate of Hengshan County, came back from visiting friends. He first went to the boat next door to visit Mrs. Zhong, who was more seasick than Li Xia's wife, Mrs. Xu.

on board.

Several children gathered around their father in the back cabin in front of Mrs. Xu's bed. Mrs. Xu was so seasick that she lay down and couldn't get up as soon as she got on the boat.

Mrs. Xu is in good spirits today. She is leaning on the bed, looking at everyone with a smile on her face, and saying a few words from time to time.

"You have lost weight in the past two days," Mr. Li looked at Mrs. Xu distressedly, "If I had known you were so seasick, we should have gone overland."

"I'm fine. It's fine. The road trip is bumpy. Brother Shan and Sister Dong are fine. What about Brother Lan and Axia? Seeing the children uncomfortable is not as uncomfortable as myself." Mrs. Xu's voice was weak.

, but his tone was full of hope and happiness, "Seeing the four children doing well, I feel that everything is fine."

"I think so too," Mr. Li's smile spread out from his eyes. He looked at the four children sitting or standing crowded around him one by one. The more he looked at them, the happier he became. "This time I brought some articles from Brother Shan.

When Mr. Jiang looked at it, Mr. Jiang kept praising him, saying that it was the first time that a fifteen-year-old could write an article like this, and he was exaggerating."

Master Li twirled his beard and spoke modestly, but the look on his face showed no sign of humility. Li Xia looked at his father speechlessly. It turned out that his father was so proud of his fifth brother...

"You also know that when it comes to reading, Brother Lan is a bit more spiritual than Brother Shan! Brother Shan is better because he is majestic, but Brother Lan is smart and elegant..." Mr. Li looked at his eldest son for a while, and then

Look at my little son, the more he praises him, the more energetic he becomes. My mother-in-law, who is lying on the bed, doesn’t even feel seasick anymore!

Li Xia's eyes almost rolled out of his head. My father's leprous-prone son has serious problems!

"You know how to love your son!" Mrs. Xu scolded, "I think Sister Dong is the best. Thanks to Sister Dong helping me these years, which girl is as sensible and considerate as our Sister Dong?"

"What about me?" Li Xia sat in front of the bed with his feet splayed, his arms resting on his mother's bed, his chin resting on the back of his hands, and he looked at her mother's mouth and asked.

"Our A-Xia is the best!" Mr. Li laughed, "Even the fortune-teller said that our A-Xia is a dragon and a phoenix, which is a very precious destiny! Well, except for being naughty, we are good at everything!"

Li Wenshan's expression froze, and he looked at Li Xia intently. The dragon and the phoenix were in auspicious shapes, so precious that they couldn't be described...

After returning from this trip, Mr. Li did not go out again. He watched his two sons and two daughters reading and writing every day. Not long after lunch that day, he heard a loud inquiry from the shore: "Is this Mr. Li from the Yongning Mansion?"

Master’s ship?”

Li Wenshan suddenly rushed to the window, opened the window and leaned out to look out. The Wutong trees across the boat had already picked up the words, "Exactly!"

"Better greetings to the third master! Mr. Zhao, the elder has sent the younger one over to say hello to the third master."

Hearing Zhao Da's words, Li Wenshan froze all over. After a long while, he twisted his neck and looked back at Li Xia.

Li Xia bit the tip of her pen and looked at him calmly.

"Sister Dong, take your younger brothers and sisters to the back cabin." Master Li ordered. The boat was very small, and the front cabin had to be used to entertain guests.

"I'm here to accompany my father and learn how to treat others." Li Wenshan requested hurriedly. Mr. Li nodded, a layer of depression and gloom appeared on his face. Whenever anyone comes to the house, it's a night owl and it's no good!

"Greetings to the third master, greetings to the fifth master!" Zhao Da entered the cabin and kowtowed neatly to say hello.

"Brother, what's the big deal for sending you all the way here?" Mr. Li's tone was distant and cold, but Mr. Zhao seemed completely unaware, "It's not too far to go back to Mr. Third. I set off early in the morning and welcomed ten more people.

We turned back a few miles away, otherwise we would have arrived half an hour earlier. The eldest man was promoted to Jiangnan East Road Transport Envoy and took office at the beginning of the month. He knew that the third master would definitely pass by Jiangning Mansion when he went to Hengshan County, so he counted the days and sent the little one away.

Come and greet the Third Master."

Li Wenshan was even more shocked. He tried his best to keep his face straight so as not to show any abnormality. His face was so tense that it almost twitched.

In the past few days, he thought about Axia's words over and over again. The more he thought about it, the more impossible he thought it was. How could such a thing really happen in the world when a person dies and his soul comes back? But now, he has no doubt at all. The uncle has really been promoted.

Jiangnan East Road transfer envoy! My uncle really sent someone!

"The eldest master sent me here to invite the third master's boat to stop at Jiangning Mansion Pier for a day. The spring scenery in Jiangning Mansion is just right at the moment. The eldest master wants to invite the third master to come ashore to enjoy the scenery and talk about evacuation. The eldest master

I also invited some old friends to have a few drinks together." After a pause, Zhao Da looked up at Mr. Li and said with a smile: "The uncle said that although Jiangning Mansion is very close to Hengshan County, we can wait until the third master arrives to take office.

After receiving the seal, everyone has to abide by their duties. No matter how close they are, it is hard to see each other from home. It is only at this moment that I can meet and talk to the third master. The first master has not seen the third master in more than ten years, and even

It’s missing.”

Mr. Li has a straight face and is expressionless. Does he miss him? What a joke!

"I appreciate your eldest uncle's kindness, but the term is urgent..." Mr. Li was about to refuse firmly. Li Wenshan was anxious. He and Axia were thinking hard about how to get help from the uncle. Now

The opportunity comes to my door, but my father wants to refuse it. This is not okay!

"Dad! No matter how anxious you are, there is no need to worry about it. I heard that Jiangning Mansion has beautiful scenery in the world, and my son has long wanted to see it. Dad, why don't you take your son there?" Li Wenshan interrupted Mr. Li.

begged.

Zhao Da looked at Li Wenshan in surprise, quickly leaned over and smiled and said: "What the Fifth Master said is absolutely true. There is a saying in Jiangning Mansion: In spring, the cow head begins to bloom and in autumn, the clouds rise. The scenery of Niu Shou Mountain in spring is excellent. Even in the city of Jiangning, it is everywhere.

It’s such a beautiful sight, the locals say they haven’t seen such beautiful spring scenery this year for ten years.”
