Looking at the letters from Li Chengdao and others, Princess Pingyang was crying in a mess. Li Xiu could only sit aside and patiently comfort her. It took a long time to stop Princess Pingyang from crying. Then Li Xiu immediately helped her put away the letter so that she would not be sad again.

However, during dinner, the fourth sisters of the genius and Qi Niang did not come, saying that they were uncomfortable, which made Li Xiu a little helpless. It was understandable that the fourth sisters of the genius did not come. After all, after receiving a letter from their mother and brothers, they would definitely cry like Princess Pingyang, but Qi Niang didn't come?

With the above question, Li Xiu went to Qi Niang's place after dinner. As soon as he arrived at Qi Niang's yard, he saw her little best friend Hener standing in the yard and rushing into the room immediately when he saw him coming in. As a result, he heard the "crackling" sounds in the room, and he didn't know what the two of them were doing.

When Li Xiu walked into the room, he found Qi Niang lying on the bed, and Hen'er was sitting beside the bed. The two of them looked at him with a smirk, but under the quilt behind them was bulging, with a corner of the letter paper exposed. In addition, Qi Niang's eyes were also red, and it seemed that she had just cried. You can guess without asking that it must be because of Li Chengdao's letter.

"Qianniang, why don't you go to eat? Are you feeling any discomfort?" Li Xiu asked deliberately pretending not to know.

"Well, I feel a little uncomfortable. Just take a nap. Don't worry, brother!" Qi Niang smiled reluctantly again, and the tears on her face had not been wiped dry yet, and she didn't blink at all when she told the lie.

"Okay, Qi Niang, just have a good rest. Hen'er, don't bother her, go out with me!" Li Xiu watched Qi Niang grow up, and this little girl is twelve years old, barely entering the rebellious period. She is very stubborn. As long as she doesn't want to say, no one can ask what she wants to ask. Instead, she can find some news from Hen'er.

Hen'er didn't expect Li Xiu to pull him out. It was too late when he realized that he was too late. Qi Niang wanted to stop him at this time, so she could only wink at Hen'er desperately, hoping that her best friend could take care of her mouth.

Li Xiu pulled Hen'er out of the yard, then suddenly stopped and looked at Hen'er with a smile. Hen'er said that Hen'er is already fourteen years old this year. Compared to Li Xiu's first appearance when he saw her, Hen'er has now opened up all of a sudden and has become much whiter. Although he is not very beautiful, he is quite pretty and looks like a big girl.

"Hen'er, your birthday will be in a few months. You will be fifteen, right?" Li Xiu said with a smile at this time, and his expression was as kind as possible. He was He'er's teacher, but He'er's brother. In Li Xiu's heart, He'er was his sister like Qi Niang.

"Yes!" Hen'er nodded nervously when he heard Li Xiu's words, because Li Xiu's appearance made her feel a little uneasy, and she seemed to feel like a disaster was coming.

"It's so fast. I didn't expect you to be a big girl in the blink of an eye. Uncle Ma mentioned to me before the New Year, saying that he wanted to find a husband for you after the New Year. When you are fifteen years old, you will get married. However, I didn't expect that Uncle Ma went to the coal mine in the north of the city before the Smallpox, and he can't come back now, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, I still have me. I happened to hear that there are a few young heroes in the new Jinshi this year. Why not just choose a husband for you from among them?" Li Xiu said with a smile on his face.

"Sir, I really don't want to get married now. Let's talk about Qi Niang. Just ask, I will definitely tell you everything!" Hen'er is also a smart girl. She immediately understood what Li Xiu meant, and then sold her very unkindly Suo Qi Niang. After all, compared to her best friend's privacy, her second half of her life is more important.

"Haha~, the child is teachable! It's worthy of being a student I taught!" Li Xiu saw Hen'er's performance and praised her shamelessly, and then asked very seriously, "Hener, tell me, did Qi Niang cry before?"

"Yes, Qi Niang received a letter from Chengdao to her before, but when she came back, she looked and cried. Finally, she said she wanted to write a reply to Chengdao. I originally wanted to read it, but she didn't let me read it, and asked me to look at her, so I don't know what she wrote." Hen'er replied honestly.

"Did Qi Niang say anything besides writing a letter?" Li Xiu frowned slightly when he heard this, and asked again after a while.

"This..." Hen'er also showed a memory expression when he heard Li Xiu's inquiry. After a while, he seemed to think of something and answered, "When Qi Niang read Chengdao's letter, she did say some words to herself, such as whether to build a ship, design the fastest ship, and also talked about many plans for a shipbuilding workshop, etc."

"Shipbuilding workshop? What kind of shipbuilding workshop?" Li Xiu couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard Hen'er's last words. He had never heard Qi Niang mention the shipbuilding workshop with him.

"It's a shipbuilding workshop. Qi Niang learns to build the fastest ship in the world, so it's so convenient to go to America to see Chengdao, so naturally, it needs a shipbuilding workshop. A few months ago, Qi Niang finally had her own shipbuilding workshop. Although she said the conditions were average, she could barely use it." Hener blinked at this time, and looked at Li Xiu in surprise. She thought Li Xiu had known about this for a long time?

"I know all of this. I asked who gave her money to build a shipbuilding workshop?" Li Xiu asked again angrily when he heard this. Last time, Qi Niang had mentioned to him that he wanted a shipbuilding workshop, but he did not agree, and he also told Princess Pingyang not to give it to her for the time being. Li Xiu did this and was worried that Qi Niang would run to the beach when she had a workshop. He, as a brother, was worried.

"It was not bought by Qi Niang for money, but by Mrs. Pei for Qi Niang." Hen'er answered again. As Qi Niang's best friend, she still knew a lot of inside story, but she didn't know that Li Xiu knew nothing about this. After all, a shipbuilding workshop is also a big industry.

"What? Did Niang Yi give it to Qi Niang?" Li Xiu was shocked when he heard this. The cost of a shipbuilding workshop was not a small amount. Although Niang Yi made some money, she was far less profound than Princess Pingyang. So Li Xiu never thought that Niang Yi would have money to help Qi Niang build a shipbuilding workshop.

"Yes, Qi Niang had begged the princess before, but the princess said you would not let the princess help Qi Niang. As a result, Qi Niang was angry and begged Mrs. Pei. As a result, Mrs. Pei agreed immediately and gave a shipbuilding workshop to Qi Niang within a month. It was said that it was in Guangzhou, and there were hundreds of craftsmen in the workshop. Although the scale was not very large, it could meet Qi Niang's requirements." Hen'er replied again.

"How is this possible? How could a lady in the qin have so much money? How could she build a workshop for Qi Niang so far away from Guangzhou?" Li Xiu heard this and said to herself in disbelief again, "No, I have to ask her!"

Speaking of this, Li Xiu immediately turned around and left, which finally made Hener breathe a sigh of relief. Then he turned around and ran into Qi Niang's room. She didn't resist the pressure and leaked some of Qi Niang's affairs. She had to say to Qi Niang in advance. Even if she blamed herself, she would have to make her a little prepared, so as not to be caught off guard by Li Xiu in the future.

While walking towards the yard where Niang Yi lived, Li Xiu was also thinking about Qi Niang's affairs. Qi Niang used to be obsessed with Li Chengdao, but he always thought that it was because the two children had known each other for many years and were classmates, so this was normal. However, Li Chengdao had been away for so long, even if the relationship between ordinary children was deep, they would become a little alienated due to distance.

But what Li Xiu didn't expect was that Qi Niang's longing for Li Chengdao did not weaken with time. Instead, she insisted on learning to build a ship and was preparing to go to Li Chengdao in the future. This was no longer a simple relationship between children.

Although Qi Niang was only twelve years old, the girls in ancient times were precocious, and some girls even got married at the age of twelve, which made Li Xiu suddenly alert. What if his sister really had some other feelings with Li Chengdao, what should he do, the elder brother?
