"Wu Shishi Teng actually has other plans. Is he going to wait for Li Shimin to change his mind?" Li Xiu couldn't help but ask in confusion when he heard Ma Ye's words. However, with his understanding of Li Shimin and his familiarity with the history of later generations, it should be impossible for Li Shimin to change his mind?

"Hehe, although Warriors are greedy for official positions, they are not so stupid. The reason why he stayed in Chang'an and refused to leave was actually mainly because he was delaying time!" Ma Ye smiled mysteriously at this time.

"Procrastinate time? What's there to delay?" Li Xiu became increasingly confused when he heard this.

"Didn't I just say that the situation in Lizhou is not good. Since Li Xiaochang's death, his subordinates have not been liquidated, but have been mainly appeased by the King of Qin. Unfortunately, someone is secretly provoking trouble, so the situation in Lizhou is very tense now. If the warrior went to Lizhou now, maybe the situation there would be suddenly erupting as soon as he arrived in Lizhou. At that time, he would have to bear this responsibility, so I'm sure that no matter who forces him now, he will not set off!" Ma Ye explained with a faint smile.

"So that's it!" Li Xiu nodded when he heard this, and finally understood what Samurai was thinking, but he was even more disdainful of Samurai. For his own interests, he ignored the lives and death of the people of Lizhou. If the matter broke out over there, I wonder how many people would be involved by this?

Nanshan is not very far from the Princess Villa. After all, they are all in the south of the city, only about seven or eight miles apart, and the speed of the carriage is not slow. Therefore, in a short while, the two of them arrived at the foot of Nanshan. This was the only way to enter Nanshan. There was also a stone tablet at the intersection with the two big words "Nanshan" written on it. Behind the stone tablet are small paths leading to the villas on those small hills.

The carriage went up the mountain along a small road. When Li Xiu saw the scenery outside the window, he suddenly felt very familiar. After a while, he realized it and said to Mr. Ma with a strange look on his face: "Uncle Ma, isn't this road leading to our Nanshan Villa? I remember you bought this villa. I once came with the princess."

"Yes, the villa we sell is on the top of this hill, but by chance, Lao Wu's villa is next to our villa, and it's still our neighbor." Mr. Ma smiled again and said, and Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh that he was really coincidental when he heard this.

The carriage went up the mountain along the curved mountain road, and finally stopped in front of a villa near the top of the mountain. After going forward, it was Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang's villa. This villa was bought by Ma Ye very generously after making money from the coal mine. It occupied the best mountain top and the scenery was extremely beautiful. Unfortunately, too many things happened during this period, and Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang had no intention of living here for a while.

Compared with the villa on the top of the mountain, the villa of Samurai is not bad at all. Through the tall lintel, you can see the buildings inside it are stacked. The Wu family was originally a wealthy businessman. When Li Yuan raised his army, Samurai had funded a lot of military funds, so after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Samurai also received several times of return.

The servants of the Wu Mansion in front of the door immediately came forward when they saw Mr. Ma. At the same time, someone turned around to report. After a while, the warrior came out with a bright smile and said, "Brother Ma, Prince Li, please come in quickly. At this time, I'm afraid that only you dare to visit Mr. Wu!"

When Samurai said it at the end, the smile on his face was a bit bitter. After he was demoted from the capital these days, he had seen too many favors and warmth. Even some people who had begged him for doing things dared to roll their eyes on him, but he had no choice but to go home and sulk, but he couldn't eat or sleep, and he got much older in just a few days.

"Shu Wu relaxes his mind. People will always encounter unsatisfactory things in their lives, but with your talents, there will definitely be a day to turn things around in the future!" Li Xiu also smiled and clasped his fists. Although he didn't think so in his heart, he still had to say these scenes.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Warrior indeed showed a happier smile. He felt that Li Xiu's friend had not been in vain, but then he smiled bitterly and said, "The prince consort should be changed to the future. There will be no Wu Shangshu in this world in the future, only one Warrior will be the governor of Lizhou."

"Brother Wu, you don't have to pay too much attention. Although Chang'an is good, it will be subject to too much constraints in the court. Maybe after you arrive in Lizhou, you can show off your strength!" Mr. Ma also persuaded.

The three of them walked in while talking, and finally came to the living room to sit down. The maid immediately served tea, using the fried tea from Li Xiu's family. Now this kind of tea has become popular in the entire aristocratic class. As the saying goes, "If you have something to do with the superiors, you will have to be even more serious." This also caused many wealthy businessmen from the ordinary class to start drinking fried tea, but the price of fried tea is not low, so ordinary people still can't afford it.

"Brother Wu, do you have any plans to go to Lizhou?" Mr. Ma savored the tea ceremony at this time. He used to not like stir-fried tea, but after a long time, he could drink some of it slowly. He couldn't say he liked it, so he could only say that he didn't hate it.

When Master Ma mentioned his visit to Lizhou, Warrior immediately sat upright and said to Master Ma with a cautious look: "Brother Ma, I am now under the wall and pushing everyone. In such a large Chang'an City, I can't even find someone who can trust me. After thinking about it, I'm afraid you can only help me!"

"Oh? Why are you busy?" Ma Ye couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Li Xiu before asking. In fact, he and Li Xiu were a little nervous. After all, they just came to visit the Samurai for favors and had no other thoughts. If the Samurai really asks them to do something very difficult, they don't know how to refuse?

"I'm ashamed that the situation in Lizhou is not very stable, and I have to take a lot of risks when I go there. What's more coincidental is that Wu's wife has just found out that she is pregnant with a child. Speaking of which, she has given birth to two daughters in a row and always hopes to have a son. Moreover, she is not young anymore. I am worried that there will be danger for her to follow me to Lizhou, so I decided to let her stay in Chang'an with her children, and ask Brother Ma to take care of her in the future!" The warrior bowed and asked Mr. Ma at this time.

When the warrior asked him to take care of his family, Ma Ye was relieved. He immediately agreed generously: "Brother Wu is so polite. Mrs. Zun is also my sister-in-law. If they have any problems in the future, they can come to me or Li Xiu. Anyway, as long as we can do it, we will never refuse!"

Seeing Ma Ye patted his chest and agreed, Wu Shi Teng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although he had many shortcomings, he had one advantage, that is, he valued his family very much. Even if Yang was Hou Na's wife, he would not dislike the other party at all, but was still very loving.

However, Yang was not young anymore and was pregnant. It was really not suitable to be exhausted. In addition, the situation in Lizhou, he decided to let Yang stay in Chang'an with his children. He was worried that their mother and daughter would be bullied when he was not around, so he thought of asking Mr. Ma for help because he knew Mr. Ma's temper and would definitely do what he agreed to.

"Thank you, Brother Ma!" The warrior solemnly bowed to Mr. Ma at this time, and then he sent someone to bring Yang and a few children to let them salute Mr. Ma. Li Xiu also took this opportunity to meet Wu Mingkong again. The little girl also recognized Li Xiu, and even remembered that his name was Li Xiu. So when he saw Li Xiu jumped over, Li Xiu also liked this smart little girl very much. After obtaining Yang's consent, he hugged her and sat on his lap to tease her.

"Mr. Li, I heard you just had a child?" At this moment, suddenly, the warrior's wife, Yang, asked.

"Yes, my wife Pei gave birth to a son some time ago!" Li Xiu said with a smile.

"That's really congratulations to the prince-consort!" Yang also showed an envious expression when he heard that Li Xiu's wife gave birth to a son, but at this time she hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Prince Consort, I think you seem to like a little girl very much. If you don't dislike it, I wonder if we can let us kiss you and marry Mingkong and your child?"

As soon as Yang said that, Li Xiu and the other two in the hall were stunned for a moment, and then the Samurai Tsubasa said with a deep face: "Madam, don't say such words randomly. The son of the prince consort will definitely be among the people in the future. How can Mingkong be worthy of it!"

The words of the Warrior also represent Ma Ye’s thoughts, and he also showed a disdainful expression when he heard this. Although the Warrior’s status is not low, anyone with discerning eyes can see that the decline of their Wu family is almost certain, while Li Xiu is an exception to the Tang Dynasty. Although he does not have any serious position, he has a good relationship with Li Shimin, and secondly, he has married Princess Pingyang, and even has a wife in addition to the princess. This special identity almost destined to be extraordinary. His son will definitely not be much different in the future. The daughter of the Wu family is indeed unable to reach the top.

In contrast, Li Xiu was shocked. It was not an accident or contempt, but was really scared. Thinking about Wu Meiniang's methods in history, his son couldn't stand it. Moreover, he didn't have much demands on his son. As long as he was safe, it would be fine. A woman like Wu Meiniang would definitely be unlucky, otherwise the family would not be able to be peaceful.

Thinking of this, Li Xiu immediately made up his mind to refuse. Of course, he couldn't speak so straightforwardly, so he looked up and said, "Madam Wu, it's not that she is ruling, but she has a close friend. His daughter is just about the same age as my son. Some time ago, my wife also discussed with the other party's wife to make a baby marriage. However, my friend is not at home, so she has been delayed for the time being, so please forgive me!"

Li Xiu was also forced to do so, so he took out the fat girl from Zhang Shi family as a shield. Anyway, Qu Yi did mention this matter, so it cannot be considered a lie. In comparison, Li Xiu would rather his son marry the fat girl from Zhang Shi family than he would never want his son to marry a wife like Wu Meiniang. Except for Li Shimin and his son, ordinary people can't stand such a woman.

When he heard Li Xiu's words, the warrior also showed a disappointed expression. Although he scolded Yang just now, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. Although he was a little arrogant, Li Xiu seemed to like his daughter every time he saw him. Maybe there was a chance of success, but unfortunately Li Xiu refused in the end.

In contrast, Yang did not show a disappointment expression for Li Xiu's rejection, but instead bowed to Li Xiu respectfully and continued: "So that's the case. It seems that Mingkong does not have this blessing. However, I heard that Li Jijiu is knowledgeable and talented, and likes to teach children in the family to study. And even women can follow you to study. I wonder if Mingkong has this blessing?"

As soon as Yang said that, Li Xiu's face changed, and then he looked at Ma Ye, with surprise in his eyes. They did not expect that Yang, who looked gentle and virtuous, had such a scheming. What kind of child relatives just now might be fake, and it was probably her real purpose to propose studying from Li Xiu.

"This..." Li Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly at this time. Unexpectedly, he was actually presented by a middle-aged woman who never went out for many years. He had rejected Yang once just now. If he refused again at this time, it would be a bit unkind. But if he agreed, if he had a student like Wu Meiniang, he would not know how much trouble he would cause him in the future?

Just when Li Xiu didn't know how to reject Yang, Wu Mingkong, who was sitting on his lap, raised his fat little face and said angrily: "Don't your uncle like Mingkong?"

It is normal for Li Xiu to have a friendship with the warrior and Wu Mingkong to call Li Xiu "uncle", but it is really surprising that he said such words from a two-year-old loli.

"How could it be, my uncle likes Mingkong very much." Facing the pure and flawless eyes of a child, Li Xiu could not say the three words "not like".

"Why don't my uncle want to accept Mingkong as a student?" Wu Mingkong asked again with big eyes and a naive face.

"Oh, no..." Li Xiu was speechless when Wu Mingkong asked for help. He looked at Ma Master, but found that Ma Master was also helpless at this time. This made Li Xiu smile bitterly in his heart, and he had to admit his fate and said, "Uncle, naturally, is willing to accept Mingkong as a student, but you are too young, and I'm worried that you won't learn."

"Mingkong is very smart. I can recite a lot of "Thousand Characters" if I don't believe Mingkong recites it to you: the world is mysterious and yellow, the universe is vast and vast. The sun and the moon are full, and the Chen is surrounded by a row of stars..."

Wu Mingkong's speech was not very clear, but he could recite the Thousand Characters with great silence. He memorized it until the middle section of "the foundation of the prosperity and business is incomplete", and he began to hesitate and could not recite it. However, it was already very rare for a two-year-old child. Even in later generations, a child of this age could recite an ancient poem to become a capital for his parents to boast about.
