She and I subconsciously stopped and looked at each other, and I immediately said, "What are you going to ask me?"

她沉默了一下,然后说道:“你记不记得,令堂给我取这个名字,是有什么深意的吗?”

“…”

I was stunned for a moment: "Deep meaning? What is the deep meaning?"

When she heard me say this, her shoulders immediately drooped and said, "You don't know either."

I was still a little confused: "What does it mean?"

Liu Li said: "The mountain director of your academy is particularly polite to me. I heard that for so many years he has been guarding the students and cleaning and repairing this house, but never letting others move in. All of this made Nian Yun and I live in. I just said that it was because of my father, but he said that my name was given by the eldest lady of the Yan family and it was of great significance, so he could make an exception to let me move in."

"oh?"

I looked at her in surprise, and was a little confused for a moment.

Liu Li...What is the significance of this name?

But for two words, the first word is still the surname of their Liu family, and the rest is Li.

Li, does this word have any meaning?

But when I asked me, I knew nothing. After all, I was too young at the time. I had forgotten all the situation when I met. How could I know about this?

I subconsciously turned my head to look at Qinghan. He thought I was asking him, and frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Maybe, it is because your mother's status in Xichuan, especially in the minds of the students of the academy. Her status is very high, even like a teacher, so Nan Zhenyi said that."

“…it should be the case.”

After all, they are nostalgic people, otherwise I would not find any other explanation.

When Liu Li heard him say this, he whispered: "If this is the case, I really have to be grateful to Lingtang, Mrs. Yan. Unfortunately, I was too young at the time and I can't remember many people and things here."

Indeed, Uncle Ai also said that when she followed Liu Shizhou to Xichuan, she was very young and had not even left her head, so she didn't have much impression of her younger brother, and she didn't even have the same feelings as Liu Yi, which was understandable.

But now, I looked at her hesitantly and looked at Qinghan again.

At this moment, the blue cloth curtain on the door of the inner room was lifted open again. When he looked back, he saw that Pei Nianyun had walked out of the inside, holding a box of snacks in one hand. Liu Li hurriedly said, "What are you doing here? Aren't you letting you eat well inside?"

Nian Yun walked over to himself, put the box of snacks on the table, and then pushed it to us.

Qinghan and I were both stunned, and looked at him with wide eyes. Liu Li was also stunned for a moment and said softly: "Nian Yun..."

Pei Nianyun said stiffly: "Eat."

A smile suddenly appeared on Liu Li's face, and he immediately hugged him with one hand, then turned around and said to us: "He asked you to eat his food, he did this for the first time!"

"Really?"

"Well, he rarely even me. He doesn't like this when he touches his things."

As she said that, she hugged Pei Nianyun excitedly, her eyes curled up and said, "It's great, he's much cheerful than before!"

Qinghan seemed a little moved and said, "It depends entirely on the careful care of His Highness by Concubine He."

Liu Li's eyes were a little red. She hugged Pei Nianyun, stroked his intention with one hand, and said, "I have no other thoughts now, only Nianyun. As long as I can raise him safely, I will be satisfied. As for other people and things, I don't care."

“…”

When I heard her words, I was silent for a while, and then whispered: "God will definitely not let you down with the help of Concubine He's devoted efforts."

Although Liu Li is not a very enthusiastic person, after all, she still feels different when she meets "old knowledge" like us in a foreign land. She keeps us for lunch and dinner. After dinner, she also strolls around the yard with Pei Nianyun for a while. We only say goodbye as the dusk falls.

Before leaving, she asked me to come down to see her and Nianyun more when I was fine, and I agreed.

On the way back, Qinghan was still walking in front. I held his hand and followed behind. Watching him stretching out his hands to push away the grass and trees in front, as if he had broken a path for me. The feeling made me feel very at ease. After walking for a while, he said, "After we go back to the mountain, you will also say hello to Susu and the people she brought, and let them give more things to Hepeng and the Second Prince, so that she would not have to ask her maid to buy anything outside. It's a big deal."

I looked at his thin back: "You seem to have a good impression of Concubine He."

"It's not a good impression, but she's a very gentle person."

"Gentle?" This is the first time I have heard someone comment on Liu Li like this. In my impression, her indifference and coldness are almost the symbols of this person. I said, "Do you think she is gentle? Don't you think she is very cold and coldness?"

"..." He was silent for a moment and shook his head: "She looks very cold and cold on the surface, but I think that's just a mask of her. After a person may have endured too much suffering, he has to use such a cold and hard mask to protect himself. But she is a very gentle person in her heart, even much gentler than many people."

“…”

"If it weren't for such a person, he wouldn't have entered the world of the second prince." He said, looking back at me: "Just like you."

He smiled again: "Fortunately, no matter what you have endured, you never let yourself wear a mask."

I was shocked by what he said just now, looking at those smiling eyes, and after a while I said, "Who said that Yan Qingying in front of you may be fake."

He laughed: "Yes, yes, yes, yes. I want to be fake, too."

After saying that, he continued to hold my hand and walk forward.

When the two returned to the mountain, the sun had already set, but there was no need to worry. Susu had already carried the lantern to the steps of the grand hall and waited for us for a long time. From a distance, she saw many small flying mosquitoes flying around the lanterns. In the grand hall and on the wide platform outside, many students were pairing in groups, holding books in their hands, discussing fiercely.

As you go along, you can hear words such as "the world's trend", "Chu and Han compete", "Unified the world" and so on.

Everyone is preparing for tomorrow's argument.

When he arrived at the library, he found Xiao Yusheng. As soon as Qinghan met, he told him about Hepeng. Xiao Yu laughed and said, "Senior Brother Liu, you have finished saying this. In fact, after she lived there, I kept Wusheng guarding around me."

"oh?"

"After all, I am a queen. I can't have an accident in Xichuan, especially in the old lady's house."

Qinghan also smiled: "That's good, nothing happened, right?"

Xiao Yusheng paused and said, "There is nothing wrong when I guard silently, but he also found that someone had appeared nearby, as if he was peeking at them."

"Oh? Who?"

"I didn't find out clearly, but it seems that the other party saw that there were guards guarding him, and did not act rashly. Xichuan - After all, there are still some people who are hostile to the court. The senior brother said, just don't see each other during this period."

Qinghan also nodded. It was definitely not a good thing to have a conflict with the people in Xichuan at this time. He said, "Then let's work harder."

"Um."

We returned to our previous place. Because Susu came, Qinghan naturally found another empty house next to us to live in. When he moved in, I saw Chabixing's dejected look and could only smile bitterly.

And Susu, naturally, was just like the night before, bending the floor in front of the bed.

But I couldn't sleep a little, and after turning over in the bed for a while, Su Su listened to my movements and asked, "Is the eldest lady worried about anything?"

Of course I am worried that who will win and lose tomorrow's argument will be.

I thought about it and asked her: "Su Su, will you hope that Xichuan will unite with the court and may be under the jurisdiction of the court in the future?"

Su Su did not answer me immediately, but asked back: "Does the eldest lady hope this is the case?"

She asked this, and it seemed that the answer was clear.

I didn't say anything. Su Su was quiet for a while and said, "Actually, many people in Chengdu have been discussing this issue these days."

"Is that?" I held up and lay on the pillow and looked at her: "Everyone is discussing? What are their opinions?"

She quieted for a moment, looked at me with a little careful look, and I immediately said, "You said, it's okay."

Su Su then said, "Of course everyone doesn't want to."

“…”

"Without the imperial court, isn't our Xichuan good? Why should we let them take care of us?"

“…”

"Everyone says that if the head of the family is here and the Yan family is here, Xichuan has a backbone and there is no need for other backbones. Besides, if the court comes to take charge of us, wouldn't it be necessary to charge another layer of tax? Then who can bear it?"

By the way, the two points she said should be the main problems in Xichuan now.

For the Yan family, the court was an opponent of seizing power; for the common people, they would charge a layer of tax. These two issues are the most basic issues that Xichuan has been in opposition to the Central Plains dynasty for so many years.

To put it bluntly, the people of Xichuan called our Yan family the local emperor of Xichuan. Although they could not completely respond to each other, the emperor was also influenced by some important officials and censors in the court, but his power and enjoyment were similar.

No one is a fool, and no one is willing to divide the benefits he has obtained.
