Travel to ancient times and make a fortune

Chapter 170 Assist
At first glance, everyone except Min Shulan looked curious when they saw Li Xiao being brought in by the maid.

Li Xiao had been warming up on the stove outside for a while, and now he had taken off his outermost cotton coat, making him look petite and exquisite.

"Sister Min, you have to coax me with delicious food today. I'm freezing all the way!" Li Xiao said coquettishly and jokingly as she walked towards Min Shulan.

Min Shulan naturally responded with "Okay, okay" and got off the kang at the same time. She and Li Xiao bowed to each other, and then took the person to introduce them to everyone.

"Come, let's get to know each other. This is my new little sister, Li Xiao, who is also the head of Liuning County whom the emperor personally made a few days ago~"

The remaining six people in the room are all people who can really play with Min Shulan on weekdays. They are all of excellent character.

Therefore, when they heard that Li Xiao was the newly appointed county head, there was no other unnecessary emotion in their eyes except surprise. Moreover, everyone sincerely said congratulations to her.

Min Shulan was very happy that her little sisters also liked Li Xiao, and then introduced her little sisters to Li Xiao.

They are called little sisters, except for Min Shulan, the 16-year-old Hanlin Academy editor Zhang's third daughter, who has not yet been married, and the other five are all married.

After everyone stood up to greet him, they sat cross-legged on the kang and chatted regardless of appearance.

It's freezing cold, so lunch is naturally the birthday party.

Lunch was eaten in the warm room of Min Mansion, and they were all juniors. Men and women were at each table, separated by a screen, but everyone could hear what was said.

Everyone is of the same age, and even though there is a difference between married and unmarried, it's not like they are a generation apart and don't talk to each other.

The whole birthday party was very lively. At the end of the day, not only Li Xiao was chatting with the little sisters, but Li Qingzhu was also chatting with the young master.

It can be said that this banquet allowed the Li Xiao brothers and sisters to officially integrate into the circle of young men and young ladies from aristocratic families in the capital.

After the imperial court sealed it, time seemed to pass faster.

On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the Li family went to the countryside to follow the local customs and spent a small New Year in the north.

On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, Li Xiao took Min Shulan and Li Qingzhu and went out to buy new year gifts.

No way, at Min Shulan's birthday party, I finally got to know a few big sisters, so I had to give them some gifts in the New Year.

This is why Li Xiao called Min Shulan, because they are all her handkerchiefs, so she must know everyone's preferences.

As for Li Qingzhu, he is just a tool person responsible for getting things!
Oh no, Li Xiao had to stop by and create some opportunities for the future third sister-in-law and third brother to be alone together.

Alas, it is really difficult for her to be her younger sister when she has a naive and naive brother.

Most parents worry about their children's marriage, but she, as a younger sister, has to worry about her brother's marriage. It's not easy.

It was not easy for Li Xiao, who was looking at jewelry with Min Shulan in the Zhenbao Pavilion.

There are a lot of jewelry in Li Xiao's small warehouse now, but most of them are gifts from the emperor. She dare not give away the things given by the emperor.

Glancing back sideways, Li Xiao saw that his third brother was not far behind him and there was no one else in the cubicle. Li Xiao asked Min Shulan deliberately and curiously.

"Sister Min, on your birthday, I looked at Mr. Xiao, and the way he looked at you was a little different. Is there something wrong?" After saying that, he winked mischievously.

Min Shulan didn't expect that Li Xiao would mention this matter, but she didn't think there was anything to hide, so she said truthfully: "My mother is afraid that if I delay it any longer, she will become an old girl and no one will want her. Thinking about Brother Xiao's character, His knowledge and family background are all very good, so he decided to let him come over."

After thinking for a while, Min Shulan added: "I have no romantic feelings for Brother Xiao, but according to what my mother mentioned yesterday, the Xiao family seems to be interested in getting married..."

Speaking of this, Min Shulan was also a little sad. She was a woman after all, and it was rare for her parents to let her be willful for so many years.

"Perhaps, after the new year, I may have to discuss marriage," Min Shulan secretly glanced at someone who didn't know what he was thinking, and Min Shulan was a little discouraged.

"After all, I'm already nineteen years old. I dare to wait, but my parents don't dare either." It is indeed rare in the Dali calendar for someone to not get married at the age of 19.

Li Xiao saw that his topic had made people sad, and saw that his third brother clearly wanted to say something, but pretended not to hear anything, and was helpless.

But when you have no choice, you can choose to urinate.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to push his third brother towards the girl, and smiled gently: "Third brother, help me stay with Sister Min for a while. I'm in a hurry, so come as soon as you go!"

Then he waved his sleeves, not taking away any sadness, leaving only the two people staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.

Suddenly, the two of them said at the same time: "You..."

After a slight pause, he spoke at the same time: "I..."

Two people: ...

"Oh, you should say it first!" Li Qingzhu couldn't stand the embarrassment.

"I, I don't have anything to say, I just want to ask, what do you want to say..." Min Shulan said a little embarrassed.

"Me? I don't have anything to say!" Li Qingzhu heard this and replied without thinking.

Li Xiao, who was about to listen to the corner:...

Oh my god, this third brother is not only stupid, he is afraid that he will be orphaned!

As soon as this idea came to my mind, I heard Li Qingzhu's somewhat arrogant voice: "If you insist on listening to me say something, that's not impossible."

Min Shulan, Li Xiao:......

"Although it was the day of your birthday that Mr. Xiao and I met for the first time. I can't say that we understand each other, but I think that Mr. Xiao seems to care about rules and etiquette. He speaks and does things in a strict manner, which is a bit boring."

"As for you, you live the most wanton life on weekdays and know etiquette, but you are not willing to be bound by etiquette. When you two look at each other, you are not the same person."

"If we have to form a couple, I'm afraid that the good couple will not become a good couple, but there will be an extra pair of resentful couples. Oh no, it should be an extra resentful wife. As a man, Mr. Xiao will not be tied down by a wife."

Li Xiao: She suspected that his third brother was using eye drops, but she had no evidence!

When Min Shulan heard this, she pulled her lips and said: "But you have to marry after all. Who should you marry?"

"This is wrong!" Li Qingzhu took the lead and said, "This woman must marry someone who likes her and likes her. How can she be so casual about it for the rest of her life?"

"But, I like him, but he doesn't like me!" Min Shulan looked straight at Li Qingzhu.

"This... where does this fool come from? Will he like you, Miss Min?" Li Qingzhu asked stammering, feeling a little weak.

"You!"

"you……"

After Li Qingzhu finished speaking, two voices sounded at the same time.

"Me?" Li Qingzhu's eyes widened and he confirmed in disbelief.
