Li Yaonan was very busy. The last time her husband gave birth, she was helped by Zhang's sister-in-law. This time, there were only two big men, he and Sun Ruisi. The little husband had to take care of him, Eunuch Shun had to entertain, and the guests had to be greeted. Regardless of east and west, he really can't do anything about internal affairs.

Eunuch Shun didn't care about his negligence, and instead helped a lot. As for the guests, as long as Eunuch Shun went to that stop, he would definitely be the object of fawning. Within a day, Eunuch Shun received a lot of gifts. Slightly apprehensive, for fear that Li Yaonan would sue the emperor, but later saw that he didn't care about it, and turned a blind eye to it, Eunuch Shun smiled and said that he is a smart man, he is no longer soft-hearted when accepting gifts, and he is extremely satisfied with Li Tong's judgment in his heart.

Lin Yixuan didn't wake up until the next day, when Li Yaonan heard the servant's report, he hurried over.

Lin Yixuan was lying on the bed, looking at the child beside him tenderly. There were still some wrinkles on the little baby's face, and the facial features were somewhat similar to his own.

Li Xu was so curious that he stretched his head to look at his younger brother, blushing and said: "He is so young, he is not as good-looking as Xu'er, nor as smart as Xu'er."

Seeing his son's serious face, Lin Yixuan pretended to be serious, burst out laughing, barely supported his body, touched Li Xu's head, and said softly: "Our Xu'er is the smartest, he must be a good brother, the one who teaches the younger brother Daddy will leave the responsibility to Xu'er, okay?"

When Li Xu heard this, he puffed up his chest and felt that he had a great responsibility. The little jealousy just now was swept away in an instant: "I will take good care of my younger brother and teach him to read the Three Character Classic."

Lin Yixuan smiled softly, and praised: "Our Xu'er is the most capable."

Li Xu was very proud, his father still valued him, and his younger brother would never be able to compare with him, with a bright smile on his small face, he made a generous decision to share his father and father with his younger brother.

"What are you laughing at?" As soon as Li Yaonan entered the door, he saw that the room was harmonious and harmonious, and sat down beside her husband, and asked with concern, "Is your body feeling better?"

Lin Yixuan smiled and nodded: "I'm still a little weak, it will be fine after a few days, don't worry."

Li Xu raised his chest and looked up at his father like a little adult: "I will take care of them."

Li Yaonan was merciless, pinched his son's face, and chased him away: "Your father is weak, don't make him too tired, go out and play."

Li Xu pursed his lips, thought for a while with his little head, and said obediently: "Dad, Xu'er is coming to see you this afternoon."

Lin Yixuan smiled, propped himself up, and stretched out his hands to gather his son's clothes: "Don't be too naughty, do you know that you have to take someone with you?"

Li Xu nodded solemnly: "Xu'er knows, Xu'er is going to endorse the book, and Xu'er is going to teach his younger brother."

"Good boy!" Lin Yixuan's smile became softer, and his bloodless face looked more vivid.

Li Yaonan glanced at him reproachfully: "Don't move around, lie down." Saying that, he hugged Fu Lang's body and laid him gently on the bed.

Seeing this, Li Xu no longer dragged his father to talk, turned his head to look at his father, and saluted in a manner: "Xu'er will leave."

The nanny led Li Xu out of the bedroom, Li Yaonan sighed in his heart, children in ancient times were indeed precocious, and smiled at Fu Lang: "You taught Xu'er very well."

Lin Yixuan pursed his lips and smiled, with undisguised pride on his face: "Xu'er is already smart."

Li Yaonan laughed loudly, looked at the little boy beside the bed, and felt soft in his heart: "I'm so sorry for you."

Lin Yixuan shook his head lightly, with a touch of sweetness on his face: "I am very happy to be able to bear children for my husband."

"It's my good fortune to marry you. I've already sent a letter to my mother-in-law. Don't worry about family affairs. The most important thing is to take care of yourself. Don't be too spoiled with Xu'er." Li Yaonan carefully told her, with a look of dissatisfaction on her face.

Lin Yixuan gave him a half-smile, glanced at him, and said angrily, "Xu'er was shocked yesterday, how did you become a father, this morning, the child came to me with red eyes, it made me feel distressed."

Li Yaonan coughed dryly twice, with a embarrassed look on his face, there were too many things to do yesterday, and he really ignored his son.

Lin Yixuan didn't really blame her husband, he had already heard the matter of the emperor bestowing letters, and said with a smile: "Chun Xian and Xia Yu around me are quite capable, and I will leave it to them to host the three banquets. .”

Li Yaonan didn't know what to say for a while, originally he didn't want her husband to be tired, but who knew he still had to worry about it, and the child's three feasts had to be done, and now he had just stood on his feet, and Eunuch Shun was also in Tongju Mansion, so he was in love with him It should be a feast for the guests.

Lin Yixuan seemed to know what her husband was thinking, and said softly: "Chunxian Xiayu has experience, so I can't bother me, but you, don't be too tired these days."

Li Yaonan smiled casually: "Don't worry, after the child's three banquets, the house will close the door to thank guests, so I won't be tired."

Lin Yixuan nodded, showing a little tiredness on his face.

Li Yaonan comforted softly: "Sleep, I will leave when you fall asleep."

Lin Yixuan pursed his lips and smiled, and slowly closed his eyes, the smell of her husband made him feel very at ease.

After Fu Lang fell asleep, Li Yaonan didn't delay, hurried to find his son, praised him greatly, seeing his son became lively, he felt relieved, he was indeed not very competent as a father.

The youngest son's name, after discussion, Li Yaonan and Lin Yixuan named him Xi, which means bright and prosperous.

On the day of Li Xi's three banquets, Tongpan Mansion was very lively, and there were guests from some towns next to Yuxi. Li Yaonan knew very well that this was thanks to the emperor's blessing. When Xi'er was full moon, the news would spread even further. Tongpan Mansion will definitely be more lively.

Tired for a whole day, Li Yaonan announced to close the door to thank the guests, the reason is that there is no family member at home to entertain.

Everyone expressed their understanding of this, it's not that no one thought about giving Li Tongpan a concubine to take care of the inner courtyard, but when they thought of the tigress in Tongpan's family, they all retreated. He's not worth it.

Li Yaonan finally calmed down, but what made him speechless was that her husband became awkward and resolutely refused to let her husband enter the room.

The last time the little husband gave birth, Li Yaonan then went to Suzhou to rush for the exam. Naturally, Lin Yixuan was not afraid that his husband would see his dirty and messy appearance, but this time it was different. Everyone was in Yunnan, and he himself was dirty and smelly. Lin Yixuan firmly forbade her husband to see her.

Li Yaonan was helpless, he couldn't laugh or cry about the husband's reason, whether his little husband should be so cute, after thinking about it, Li Yaonan still complied with him, since it was the wish of the little husband, as a husband, he must obey it.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Mother Lin arrived with her people, and Li Yaonan completely relaxed. At the same time, it was time for spring plowing.

Eunuch Shun has been very busy these days, and there are many people fawning on him. Under Li Yaonan's intentional or unintentional indulgence, Eunuch Shun got a lot of money. This trip to Yuxi was not in vain, and his relationship with Li Yaonan has gradually become familiar.

On a sunny day, Li Yaonan explained the affairs of the yamen, led a group of people, and took Eunuch Shun to the countryside for a walk. While walking, Li Yaonan explained, telling him the structure and principle of the terraced fields.

Eunuch Shun listened very carefully, he knew that he would report these things to the emperor when he went back, and he would not be sloppy at all.Seeing the prosperity of the people, Eunuch Shun's eyes were wide open, the fields in the Yuxi Mountains were really different from other places, and he took a high look at Li Tongpan in his heart, and vaguely understood why the emperor valued him so much.

Li Yaonan then took him to the home of the mountain folks to experience the customs of the people in the mountains. Li Yaonan occasionally mentioned that the emperor might like the folk customs. Both of them are smart people, so they don't need to speak too clearly. Shun Gonggong understands. As the emperor's personal servant, how could he not understand the emperor's mind.

The group visited Yuxi for more than ten days, and the mountain people expressed their warm welcome. The girl put on the most beautiful clothes, and the young man showed his bravest side. At night, the bonfire banquet sang and danced. Also showed a sincere smile.

Li Yaonan curled his lips, feeling quite happy, he believed that no matter how dark a person is, there will always be a good side in his heart, he doesn't need Eunuch Shun to speak well for him, as long as he doesn't trip him up.

Back at the yamen, after resting for two days, Eunuch Shun bid farewell, he had been out for too long.

Li Yaonan thought for a moment, then asked to stay: "Eunuch, why not stay for a few more days, I will sort out some things, and ask Eunuch to help present it to the emperor."

When Eunuch Shun heard this, his heart moved slightly, and he agreed with all his heart. He thought that Mr. Li is a person who knows how to measure, and what he entrusts to him will definitely not disappoint the emperor.

Li Yaonan spent six days sorting out a set of business taxation plans, and drew down all the structural diagrams of terraced fields and waterwheels. By the way, he also prepared a manuscript of the Romance of the Gods, in the name of easing the emperor's boredom.

Eunuch Shun smiled meaningfully, Master Li is really a wonderful person, he does not forget to please the emperor while doing his official duties well.

Li Yaonan raised his eyebrows, everyone knew these things well, he didn't have any embarrassment about currying favor with the emperor.

After seeing off Eunuch Shun, Li Yaonan returned to his former leisurely life. In a blink of an eye, Li Xi's full moon banquet arrived. The Tongjuan Mansion was very lively on this day. Many guests from far and near villages and towns came, and even the governor sent someone to send congratulatory gifts.

Lin Yixuan finally stepped out of the room with the child in his arms, seeing her husband's playful eyes, her cheeks blushed instantly.

Li Yaonan didn't tease him anymore, the little husband in the province became furious, and when the time came, he would be the one who coaxed others, he stretched out his arms to hug the little husband, since he hadn't seen him for a month, he kind of missed him.

"Let's go out, the guests are still waiting." Lin Yixuan pursed his lips and smiled, his face was flushed, and he looked very good. Mother Lin took good care of him.

Li Yaonan nodded and smiled, embraced her husband and child and walked away.

The hall was extremely lively, Lin Zhiyuan and Yang Yi rushed over two days ago.Several hundreds of households in Yuxi, Li Yaonan also sent invitations, after the last time the loot was divided, they get along very well now.

"Master Li, congratulations, congratulations."

"Master Ling is really smart."

As soon as Li Yaonan entered the hall, he was surrounded by congratulations, the corners of his lips twitched unconsciously, Xi'er was still a little kid, how could he tell how smart he was.

The husband and wife were busy very late that day, and didn't rest until late at night.Fortunately, the first time was born, the second time was acquainted, and Lin Mu was there to help, although the two felt tired, they were not in a hurry.

The next day, Mother Lin bid farewell and left. Lin Zhiyuan was busy with business in Yizhou and could not leave for too long.

Lin Yixuan felt reluctant, Li Yaonan coaxed and coaxed him to smile again.

Time is like water, passing by in a flash, and it will be another year of harvest in a blink of an eye.

Li Yaonan was proud of his officialdom, and with the emperor's blessing, he was able to do things smoothly in Yuxi, and hardly encountered any opposition to every policy.

Lin Yixuan also began to walk around, meeting with the wives of officials, or holding banquets to connect the relationship between officials and family members, and lay a solid foundation for the husband in the officialdom.

In June of this year, Li Yaonan heard the news that Mr. Liao, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was promoted to Prince Taifu by the emperor.

Li Yaonan smiled unkindly, felt a little relieved, and mourned for Mr. Liao in silence. The crown prince Taifu has a good name, but in fact he doesn't have any real power, and he is still tied to the prince's boat. It is expected that Mr. Liao has a good relationship with the Northwest Army. He should be from the line of the six princes, but now he has become the prince and tutor. Two sides are not human.

However, the matter in Beijing has nothing to do with him, and Li Yaonan quickly put it behind him.Yuxi's farming is already on the right track, and Sun Ruisi is also taking care of the business. His current thoughts are all devoted to military supplies.

"Husband." Lin Yixuan pushed the door open and came in with dissatisfaction in his eyes. Husband has locked himself in the study for several days.

Li Yaonan frowned, writing and drawing with a pen, a large pile of parts was placed in a mess on the table.

"What is this?" Lin Yixuan picked up the drawing and looked at it carefully, then patted her husband vigorously.

Li Yaonan was taken aback, then raised his head: "Why are you here?"

Lin Yixuan glared at him angrily, and after he had been here for a long time, the husband found out, and said sullenly: "You locked yourself in the study, how could I not come and see it?"

Li Yaonan felt guilty for a moment, he was too focused just now, he really didn't notice someone coming, just thinking of his achievements, he immediately became elated again, and pointed to the blueprint to Fu Lang: "This is a Liannu, I plan to give it to my brother, if the border crossing happens In war, the eldest brother will also have an extra layer of protection."

"Liannu?" Lin Yixuan looked at him suspiciously. As the name suggests, a crossbow is a bow and arrow. What does Liannu mean?

Li Yaonan smiled proudly, picked up the parts on the table, assembled them into a crossbow, and demonstrated: "Look, a normal bow and arrow can only be shot once, but a continuous crossbow can fire three arrows in a row."

"This is..." Lin Yixuan was very surprised. Although he knew that his husband was talented and learned, he never thought that he also knew about weapons.

"Let's go, I'll take you out to have a look." Li Yaonan said happily, and pulled Fu Lang toward the door.

"Where are you going?" Lin Yixuan was curious, seeing her husband walking towards the stables, he hurriedly said, "Wait, I still have something to prepare."

"No need to prepare." Li Yaonan acted arbitrarily, a rare domineering once, got on the horse, held Fu Lang to his chest, and flicked the reins: "Drive!"

"Slow down." Lin Yixuan snuggled into her husband's arms, from the nervousness at the beginning to the excitement later, there was endless laughter along the way, and the feeling of galloping the horse turned out to be so joyful.

Li Yaonan rode a horse to the outskirts of the forest, clasped Fulang tightly to his chest, there was a lot of wild game in the forest, Li Yaonan patted Fulang to signal him to be silent, picked up his bow and crossbow and pointed it at a bush.

"Swipe!" A sharp arrow flew by, and the pheasant in the grass scattered away. Li Yaonan quickly aimed at another pheasant, and shot another arrow. Down, fell to the ground and did not move.

"It's shot, it's shot." Lin Yixuan was as happy as a child, shaking his husband's arm, quickly dismounted, and ran to pick up the spoils.

"How about it, my husband's head is not bad." Li Yaonan laughed loudly, with a bit of wantonness between his brows.

"En." Lin Yixuan nodded quickly, suddenly feeling that he knew very little about her husband.

Li Yaonan looked at her husband with a smile, and hung the pheasant on the horse's back: "If you like it, the weather will be cold in a few days, my husband will take you hunting."

"Okay." Lin Yixuan narrowed his eyes with a smile, and let his husband help him onto the horse, and the two of them rode back slowly on the same ride. The road was full of laughter and warmth, just like a beautiful picture scroll.

Lin Yixuan had already started thinking about what to eat tonight.

Li Yaonan was slightly regretful, stroking the bow and crossbow at his waist, and sighed: "If it can be changed to ten arrows in bursts, the power of the bow and crossbow will be even greater."

"Fire ten arrows in succession?" Lin Yixuan's eyes widened, he thought that firing three arrows in succession was already quite a feat.

Li Yaonan nodded, and said frankly: "According to the principle, it should be possible. At present, I have found some ways, but it still takes time."

Lin Yixuan's expression froze, and he suddenly remembered what her husband said before: "Are you planning to give it to eldest brother?"

Li Yaonan smiled slightly: "I'm a civil servant, holding a continuation crossbow is useless, why not give it to elder brother, if there is a war on the border in the future, it can also add strength to elder brother."

Lin Yixuan thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that Liannu's contribution will not fall to eldest brother."

Li Yaonan was a little surprised, the last time he went to Yizhou, his eldest brother had a good relationship with his colleagues, and regarding the terraced fields, if it wasn't for the fact that his eldest brother was promoted not long ago, according to what his colleagues said, his eldest brother could have been promoted.

Lin Yixuan sneered: "It is precisely because the eldest brother was promoted not long ago that the governor will say something. Who wouldn't say good words, but when it comes to reality, what do you think he will do?"

Li Yaonan was silent, but he didn't think of this, he thought he had a good eye for people, there was no need for elder brother's colleagues to lie to him, it turned out that someone else was lying.

When the two returned to Tongpan Mansion, Li Xu waited in the stables for a long time, staring at them accusingly: "Father, Daddy."

Li Yaonan got off the horse, smiled and picked up his son, alas, it's heavy again.

Li Xu stared at his father firmly, showing that I have a strong backbone, and said cautiously: "How can you not take Xu'er, Xu'er is the most obedient."

Li Yaonan laughed: "I will take you next time."

Li Xu was stunned, his little head couldn't figure it out, but his father actually agreed. What about the long speech he had prepared?

Seeing his son's stupid appearance, Lin Yixuan felt amused, and asked his servants to take the pheasant down, preparing to have a feast of pheasants tonight.

Li Xu was coaxed by his father, and soon became happy, watching his father's booty jumping and jumping, pestering his father to learn archery.

Li Yaonan glanced at him, squeezed his son's little arms and legs, defeated by his tears, and agreed to make a small bow and arrow.

Li Xu was very happy, hugged his father and kissed him hard, Li Yaonan was healed immediately, don't mention a bow and arrow, ten bows and arrows will be prepared for his son, a typical child control one.

Back in the bedroom at night, Li Yaonan discussed with her husband and decided to give the three-arrow crossbow to the eldest brother, and the ten-arrow crossbow as a backup. How proud you are, how miserable things will be in the future.

The next day, Li Yaonan sent the finished blueprints and a finished crossbow to Du Si's mansion.

In September, the elder brother sent the news that the Liannu was recorded as a great achievement for him. Since the Liannu is a dangerous item, it cannot be widely used by military households without the permission of the imperial court. It may take a little longer.

Lin Yixuan twitched the corners of his lips, it was also a great achievement last time.

Li Yaonan frowned and thought deeply, judging from Fulang's attitude, the war should still be a few years away, and the victory of the Great Jin was undoubted, but it was just an accident that would definitely happen in Yunnan. Li Yaonan glanced at Fulang quietly, but Li Yaonan did not ask after all.

It turns out that he thought too much.

Lin Yixuan threw the letter on the table and said with disdain: "I'm afraid the governor will be the first to shirk responsibility when the war breaks out."

Li Yaonan suddenly realized that Fu Lang knew my heart too well and said casually: "What do you think of the governor?"

Lin Yixuan's eyes were full of contempt, and his tone was even more contemptuous: "The governor eats fat belly and oily sausage, how can he care about the lives of the people."

Li Yaonan frowned. According to what Fu Lang said, the governor and governor are unreliable in future wars. What should the people of Yunnan do? He pondered, "I remember there are [-] soldiers at the border."

Lin Yixuan hooked the corners of his lips: "The general is the governor's brother-in-law."

Li Yaonan realized: "The governor's brother-in-law was defeated. In order to shirk responsibility, the governor will definitely set up a bureau. The governor of Yunnan escaped in front of the battle. The emperor was furious. The governor may convict him, but after the governor's incident, the crime should not be too serious. After all, the governor of Yunnan is A member of the first rank, his escape from the battle caused an irreparable situation on the battlefield. It is not the governor's fault. If I expected it to be correct, the governor would definitely atone for his sins and turn defeat into victory. "

Lin Yixuan's eyes widened, and he shut his mouth quickly, but he didn't say anything, why the husband's guess was exactly the same as the situation at that time.

Li Yaonan caught a glimpse of Fu Lang's appearance, secretly amused in his heart, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You think we should cut off the beard?"

Lin Yixuan faltered: "It's all your guesswork, how can you count it."

Li Yaonan didn't point it out, and said with a smile: "It's just a hypothesis, why bother to be so serious."

Lin Yixuan breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at her husband, saw that he was still the same as usual, secretly thought that he was overthinking, and immediately returned to normal, and said calmly: "How to assume?"

Li Yaonan took out a map and pointed to several places: "Suppose Dali falls after the governor escapes, and we will do our best before the governor."

Lin Yixuan frowned: "It's not Dali. The governor ran away after hearing the news. If the Qiang people really hit Dali, the governor would not be able to escape."

Li Yaonan silently remembered: "Where do you think it will be?"

"It should be..."

Li Yaonan and the young husband asked one question and answered the other. Unknowingly, the young husband suddenly realized that he had revealed the whole truth.

Lin Yixuan's face turned pale, and there was a little panic in his eyes.

"What's the matter with you?" Li Yaonan looked at him in surprise, and embraced Fulang affectionately, feeling a little bit regretful in his heart, the routine was too much, the little Fulang was never on guard against him.

"It's nothing." Lin Yixuan pretended to be calm, and looked at her husband carefully. Seeing that there was nothing unusual about him, she calmed down a little, and hugged his waist tightly: "I'm tired."

"Okay!" Li Yaonan smiled slowly: "Let's go to rest."

Lin Yixuan looked at him very seriously: "This is just a hypothesis, it doesn't make any sense, Yunnan is very peaceful now, let's not think too much."

"Okay!" Li Yaonan replied with a smile, the little husband is getting cuter and cuter, doesn't he know that he doesn't have 300 taels of silver at this time.However, the young husband can only be so full of mistakes and omissions only when he faces himself, Li Yaonan is very proud of this.
