Chapter nine hundred and sixty third meet
"Sir, Qi Niang!" When Li Chengdao saw Li Xiu and Qi Niang, he couldn't help but excitedly stepped forward and shouted loudly. This was his merchant ship. When he saw them, Li Ke's arrival forced him to leave temporarily. However, he did not go too far. In fact, shortly after Li Xiu and Qi Niang returned to the dock again, he found a child, so he sent a letter to Li Xiu and the others, and asked them to meet on their own boat.
When Qi Niang saw Li Chengdao, she was excited to rush over, and then plunged into his arms and hugged him tightly, she was unwilling to let go. Although Li Chengdao was also very excited to see Qi Niang again, she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when she saw Li Xiu still next to her. She was neither hugging nor hugging.
Seeing this, Li Xiu sighed helplessly, and then turned around very tactfully. As a result, Li Chengdao finally understood Li Xiu's intentions. At the same time, he became bolder and hugged Qi Niang with his arms. Moreover, it was the first time he felt so happy since he escaped from the Central Plains.
After a while, Qi Niang let go of her arm, then turned her head to look at her elder brother Li Xiu with a little embarrassed look. However, when she saw Li Xiu's back to her, her little face turned red with shame, and she felt that she was so impulsive.
At this time, Li Xiu also heard the voice behind him. He slowly turned around and pretended to be nothing happened. He looked at Li Chengdao and scolded: "Chengdao, you are too rash, how could you run to the dock in Yangzhou so boldly? Ke'er had already seen your back just now. I'm still worried that he will recognize you!"
"What sir taught me is that I was really careless this time, but this time I came to catch up with my adoptive father and grandfather. They both brought people to Zhongyuan in advance. I chased him all the way but never caught up. A few days ago, we arrived at Liuliuqiudao and learned from my righteous brother that his adoptive father and others came to Yangzhou, so I chased him, but I haven't found them yet!" When Li Chengdao talked about the affairs of the bearded guest and Li Yuan, his face also showed an anxious look.
"Your Majesty and Uncle, don't worry, I've seen them before. They came here mainly to pick up Mr. Pei this time. Their ship is called Yulong. It should have stopped on a berth on the easternmost berth of the dock. It should not have left yet!" Seeing Li Chengdao's anxious look, Li Xiu spoke.
"That's great, it's good that grandfather and adoptive father are fine!" Li Chengdao heard that Li Xiu had seen Li Yuan and the Guest, and immediately said that he had traveled thousands of miles to chase him from America to the Central Plains. What he was afraid of was something unexpected about Li Yuan and the Guest. After all, they were not young anymore, and if something happened, it would be bad.
"By the way, sir, why are you and Qi Niang in Yangzhou, and how can you be with the third... brother?" Li Chengdao suddenly asked again at this time, but when he asked Li Ke, he was a little hesitant. After all, the grudges between the two families were too great. However, thinking that Li Ke was only six or seven years old and was ignorant at all, and as juniors, they did not need to bear the grudges of the previous generation, so he used the title he used to call Li Ke.
When Li Chengdao heard Li Chengdao ask about the reason why he came to Yangzhou, Li Xiu couldn't help but look at Qi Niang next to him. At this time, Qi Niang blushed and didn't even dare to look at Li Chengdao again. She lowered her head and said nothing. It seemed that she had handed everything to Li Xiu to explain.
Seeing Qi Niang's shy look, Li Xiu suddenly smiled jokingly, and then deliberately said: "I came to Yangzhou to have official duties. The main purpose is to check which city in the south is suitable for opening a bank. As for Qi Niang, he followed me out to relax because he was too bored at home."
"Brother, you... you didn't say..." Qi Niang heard that Li Xiu did not mention that she was going to America at all, but said that she was coming out to relax. This made her look anxiously raised her head to argue. However, when she saw Li Xiu's joking eyes, she immediately understood that he did it on purpose. She couldn't help but look at him angrily, and then she felt very shy, so she simply shook her sleeves and hid behind Li Chengdao.
"It turns out that the gentleman brought Qi Niang to relax, but this is good, and it is really not good to stay at home all the time!" Qi Niang knew that Li Xiu was joking, but Li Chengdao believed it. When he spoke with a loss, he did not notice any strangeness between Li Xiu and Qi Niang.
"Idiot, you really believe it!" As soon as Li Chengdao finished speaking, Qi Niang, who was hiding behind him, patted his back and reminded him angrily.
"What does it mean? Sir, do you come here for another purpose?" Li Chengdao was also confused by Qi Niang at this time. He turned his head to look at Qi Niang, and then looked at Li Xiudao with confusion on his face.
"I hope to come here just because of official business, but someone at home was clamoring to go to America and refused to get married. In desperation, I had to send her here so that she could take the boat to America!" Li Xiu sighed deliberately at this time, but at the end, he suddenly felt sad again. After all, although seeing Li Chengdao was happy, it also meant that the time for the separation of their brother and sister was about to come.
As Li Xiu said, Li Chengdao felt a "buzzing" sound in his mind, as if all the blood in his body surged onto his head, and his face turned red with excitement. After a while, he stammered and said: "Sir... what do you mean is Qi Niang... Qi Niang want to follow me to America?"
"You said, Qi Niang is so old, and if she doesn't get married, she really can't get married. I can't let my sister be an old girl for the rest of her life, right?" He suddenly felt angry in his heart, even if the other party was his student, he still felt unhappy. In fact, his mentality was understandable, just like when his father-in-law married his daughter, he usually had no good feelings for his son-in-law.
"Great, thank you sir!" Although Li Xiu's tone was not good, Li Chengdao was still very excited when he heard this. He even stepped forward and knelt down in front of Li Xiu and shouted loudly. He knew more than anyone else about Li Xiu's love for Qi Niang, the sister, and it was really a very painful decision to make him agree to marry Qi Niang to him, so Li Chengdao was also full of gratitude to Li Xiu at this time.
At this time, Qi Niang woke up from the joy of seeing Li Chengdao. Now she heard the elder brother's words and thought that she would be separated from her soon, which made her suddenly feel sad. Especially when she saw Li Chengdao kneeling down to thank him, she felt her nose sore. She also walked up to Li Chengdao and knelt down to Li Xiu together. After all, their mother passed away early and Li Jing didn't like them. It can be said that the elder brother raised her as both a mother and a father. When she thought of this, she couldn't help but cry.
