Li Xiu had something to discuss with Qi Niang, but he had to wait until she finished her meal. Although Qi Niang protested many times, it had no effect. In the end, she had to sit down and have dinner obediently. Li Xiu also sat next to her and took food to her from time to time. As the saying goes, the elder brother is like a father, Li Xiu has always regarded Qi Niang as his daughter to raise her.

"Brother, we haven't eaten alone for a long time." At this moment, Qi Niang, who was eating, suddenly looked up at Li Xiu. She felt a little strange from Li Xiu's movements, and it also reminded her of when she and Li Xiu had just left the Li family, except for the two maids Yue Chan and Liu'er, the only brother and sister were born to each other. They usually eat like today. Every time Li Xiu would take her a lot of food, as if she was afraid that she would not be full.

"Yes, I took you out of the Li family. In addition to you and me, there were only Yuechan and Liu'er in the family. They were unwilling to have dinner with us no matter what. Now, so many years have passed, Yuechan has become your sister-in-law, Liu'er has married and has children, and you have grown up!" Li Xiu also remembered the situation at the same time and said with great emotion.

"Hehe~, except for four people, there were only the lazy dog ​​of mistress in our family. Unfortunately, she was taken away by Sister Liu'er later. I don't know how it is now?" Thinking of her original life, Qi Niang couldn't help but laugh like a silver bell.

The mistress is the puppy that Li Xiu was raising. Speaking of which, this dog was a little earlier than Yuechan and the others, but the dog was surprisingly lazy when it grew up. He didn't bark when he saw strangers. He was usually taken care of by Liu'er. Later, Liu'er married a guard at Princess Pingyang's mansion. He could not take the mistress away, but he had to take the mistress away. After all, she had been raising the mistress for so many years and had a very deep relationship.

"Miss San's life is good. She was pregnant some time ago and probably had to have another nest. If you like it, you will adopt one from Liu'er!" Li Xiu couldn't help but smile a little warmly when he mentioned the lazy dog ​​of the mistress.

The mistress is a bitch and gives birth to a litter of children every year. Although he is over ten years old now, he still has a female wind, which makes almost all of his children and grandchildren in villages with a radius of dozens of miles. Generally speaking, the lifespan of a dog is only about ten years, and the mistress is now at an advanced age, but its energy is not reduced at all. Li Xiu heard that some dogs can live to the age of twenty, and it is estimated that the mistress may be the kind of very long-lived dog.

"That's great. I must raise it more fatter than the mistress!" When Qi Niang heard Li Xiu agree to raise a dog, she also waved her fist excitedly.

But when he said this, Qi Niang suddenly seemed to have thought of something. She hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Brother, there is something... I want to tell you about it!"

"What's the matter?" Li Xiu was stunned when he heard this. Before he could say what he was going to say, he didn't expect that Qi Niang would have something to say to him first?

"This...that..." Qi Niang seemed very hesitant at this time, and even her face turned a little red, as if she was a little shy. After a while, she finally gritted her teeth and said, "Brother, I...I feel Chengqian is a little strange these days?"

"Why is it strange?" Li Xiu was also stunned when he heard this, and then asked.

"I... I can't say it either. Anyway, it's just a bit strange. For example, these days, he always talked about how Queen Changsun liked me, and also gave me gifts, all of which were hairpins, bracelets, etc. Last time he asked me to play alone, and even said that during the Lantern Festival in the year, I wanted to come to me to enjoy the lanterns. I thought something was wrong, so I didn't agree." Qi Niang also showed a confused expression on her face when she spoke at the end.

When Li Xiu heard this, he couldn't help but feel tears flowing down his face. His silly sister finally got enlightened and actually felt that Li Chengqian was chasing her. However, after being excited, he hesitated again, wondering if he should tell Qi Niang about this?

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Why don't you talk?" Qi Niang saw the expression on Li Xiu's face very strange, as if excited and relieved, and asked curiously.

"This..." Li Xiu hesitated again at this time, and finally made a decision and said, "Chengqian has grown up. His Majesty wants to let him get in touch with some government affairs during this period. He is under a lot of pressure, so it is normal for him to behave a little abnormal."

"Is that true?" Qi Niang said with some doubt when she heard Li Xiu's words. Her heart was all on Li Chengdao in America. Sometimes she was indeed a little slower, but her instinct as a woman still made her feel something was wrong.

"Of course, Chengqian is already an adult and has changed his behavior. It was precisely because of this that His Majesty decided to choose a concubine for him. When he has children, he may have little time to come to us in the future!" Li Xiu explained with a smile again.

Li Xiu finally decided not to tell Qi Niang the truth, mainly because he didn't want to put too much pressure on her. Even if she had noticed it, as long as she and Li Chengqian didn't tell her clearly, Qi Niang would only guess in her heart at most. Anyway, there would be no evidence for such a thing.

Sure enough, when he heard Li Xiu's explanation, Qi Niang looked at him half-believingly, but she didn't mention the matter again. Instead, she asked again: "By the way, brother, didn't you say that you had something to discuss with me? You can always say it now, right?"

When Li Xiu heard Qi Niang mention this, he couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression again. After a while, he said solemnly: "Qi Niang, although Jin'er and Ping'anlang are joking today, you are indeed not young anymore. Although my brother can't bear to leave you, he can't let you never get married for the rest of your life. So now is the time to consider your marriage!"

"Brother, haven't I said I don't want to consider this for the time being?" Qi Niang said unhappy when she heard that Li Xiu was about to say that it was her marriage. She knew that Li Xiu did not agree with her and Li Chengdao, but she recognized the other party again, so in order not to make Li Xiu angry, every time she mentioned the marriage, she said she didn't want to consider it.

"Qianniang, I know you like Chengdao. In the past, I really didn't want you to marry far away from America, but now you tell me honestly, are you really willing to go to America for Chengdao?" Li Xiu took a deep breath at this time, and slowly and heavily made it clear.
