In the American shipbuilding workshop, Qi Niang did not direct the craftsmen to transform the interior of the workshop on the spot, but was staying at her residence in the workshop, holding a pen in her hand and carefully drawing a design drawing. In the past few days, she stayed in the shipbuilding workshop every day and had a deeper understanding of shipbuilding. As a result, it inspired her and made her think of a new ship shape. So she put down her work and drew this ship shape. After all, shipbuilding is like painting, and inspiration is fleeting.

But at this moment, the door of the room was suddenly opened, and then the two of them walked in one by one. Qi Niang was full of body and mind at this time, and she didn't notice anyone coming in at all.

"Shhh, let's not disturb her, otherwise Qi Niang will curse people!" The woman in front saw Qi Niang's appearance, and hurriedly turned her head and whispered to the man behind her, and at the same time made a ban on voice. The two of them were Hen'er and Shangguan Yi and his wife. Today, they came to Qi Niang to discuss with her about credit for the fishing boat.

Hen'er is Qi Niang's best friend, so he naturally knows her temper best. For example, in the current situation, Qi Niang is devoted to the design. No one can disturb her at this time, otherwise it will disrupt her thinking, which will make Qi Niang in anger, and even Li Xiu will be scolded, so Hen'er dare not disturb her at this time.

Shangguan Yi was originally looking for Hen'er today, so when he heard Hen'er's words, he naturally didn't dare to speak out. The two of them found a place in the room to sit down, and then waited for Qi Niang to finish painting.

However, designing a boat is not an easy task. Sometimes it is common to work for several hours in a row. Hener was prepared for this. He took two books from the bookshelf next to him, and then sat there with Shangguan Yi while reading and waiting.

"Bang~" Before Hen'er and the others waited for too long, suddenly someone suddenly pushed open the door and then walked in. This made Hener frown. He couldn't figure out who had the courage to break in and disturb him? But she was also a little surprised. After all, there were Fat Sister and others guarding outside. Apart from her, Fat Sister wouldn't let anyone in easily.

However, when Hean'er saw the person coming in clearly, he was shocked and even had the urge to escape, because the person coming in was Li Xiu with a gloomy face. Thinking of her helping Qi Niang escape from Chang'an, she was afraid of being blamed by Li Xiu. Although she had known that there would be such a day, she didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Li Xiu suddenly pushed the door and came in. Qi Niang, who was designing the boat, was also startled and was about to get angry. However, when she saw that the person coming in was Li Xiu, she was as scared as Hen'er's reaction, so scared that she even wanted to escape. However, when she saw Li Xiu's gloomy face, she did not dare to run away no matter what.

However, Qi Niang's reaction was much faster than He'er, and she quickly reacted from the shock. Not only did she not run away, she also ran up enthusiastically and hugged Li Xiu's arm and said coquettishly: "Brother, why are you here? I miss you so much these days!"

"Hmph, I think you don't want me to die, but you don't want me to die, so no one will care about you anymore!" Li Xiu did not take Qi Niang's trick at all, but instead snorted coldly and said angrily. Qi Niang ran away from home and was very angry. He was worried and angry along the way. At this time, he naturally had no good expression when he saw Qi Niang.

"Brother~, I'm just staying at home and I'm not willing to let Sister He'er go out to relax, so I'm so obedient along the way and never cause trouble for you." When I said this, Qi Niang suddenly found that He'er and Shangguan Yi were also here. She hurriedly pointed at them, "If you don't believe me, ask Sister He'er and Brother-in-law Shangguan, they can prove what I said!"

Seeing Hen'er bringing disaster to her, Hen'er couldn't help but give her a blank look, but then she took the initiative to step forward and salute Li Xiu and said, "Sir, I'm wrong. Qi Niang ran out and I didn't send her home. Please punish her!"

"Forget it, although you are wrong with this matter, at most you are just an accomplice, and the main culprit is still Qi Niang. When I go back, I must lock her up for half a year!" Li Xiu did not blame Hen'er. After all, Qi Niang ran away from home and was all her own idea. Later, Hen'er just couldn't bear to refuse Qi Niang, so she took her away. And thanks to her taking care of Qi Niang on the way, otherwise with Qi Niang's temperament, I wonder how many things would happen along the way?

"Half a year of confinement? Brother, you should kill me!" Qi Niang couldn't help but shouted in despair when she heard Li Xiu's words. Although she knew that there would definitely be a punishment when she went back this time, she didn't expect that the elder brother would be so cruel that he would take her half a year at once.

"What's the name? It's already considered a slight loss to lock you up for half a year. If it weren't for your sister-in-law and the others who pleaded for you, I would have wanted to lock you up until you get married!" Li Xiu glared at Qi Niang again and said.

"I'm not getting married!" Qi Niang couldn't help but vent her anger when she heard this. After saying that, she turned her head aside, as if she didn't plan to pay attention to Li Xiu, the ruthless brother.

Shangguan Yi kept watching Li Xiu teach Qi Niang a lesson. It was not until then that time that he had the opportunity to come forward to salute Li Xiu, and he admitted his mistake to Li Xiu like He'er. Although Qi Niang came with them, the main thing was that Qi Niang and He'er were the ones who were the decision of this matter, so Li Xiu had no reason to blame him.

"By the way, Youshao, aren't you in Haiyan County? Why did you have time to come to Suzhou?" Li Xiu chatted with Shangguan Yi for a few words, and then asked strangely. After all, Shangguan Yi had just arrived in Haiyan County to take office, so there must be a lot of things to be busy with, so in his opinion, Shangguan Yi shouldn't be here?

"Sir, my husband and I are here to ask Qi Niang for help today, but I didn't expect that you are here too!" Before Shangguan Yi could speak, Hen'er rushed to tell them about their purpose. Shangguan Yi next to him also briefly introduced the situation in Haiyan County, which made Li Xiu finally understand the purpose of their coming here.

"Haha~, since Hen'er, since you two are here to discuss business, let's talk to me. Some fishing boats are not a problem at all. Of course, I am very interested in the canned seafood in your place!" As soon as Hener and Shangguan Yi finished speaking, Zhang Shiyi walked in from outside the door and laughed. Li Xiu was walking too fast just now, so he landed behind. It was not until he heard the conversation between Hener and the others that he walked in. After all, he liked such a profitable business the most.

Hen'er also knew that Qi Niang only designed the ship, and business matters were always managed by Zhang Shiyi's generation, so she nodded, then pulled Shangguan Yi and Zhang Shiyi out to talk, leaving Li Xiu and Qi Niang in the room so that the brother and sister had time to spend together alone.

Seeing that everyone else had left, his anger was almost gone. After all, Qi Niang was his only sister. He was angry just now, but when he saw Qi Niang seemed to have lost weight and was darker than before, he couldn't help feeling a little distressed. After all, the weather in the south was hotter than in the north, and Qi Niang followed Hener all the way and worked hard all the way. After coming to Suzhou, he had never been idle, so naturally he was thinner than before.

"Qianniang, it's really a mess that you ran away from home this time. You shouldn't be so willful again in the future. Do you know?" Li Xiu spoke again at this time, but his tone obviously softened, and he was no longer as full of anger as before.

"I understand." Qi Niang also felt that the elder brother's attitude was a little softened, and she nodded honestly. Then she suddenly looked up and said, "By the way, brother, why did you come? Sister Yue Chan is going to give birth too?"

When Qi Niang ran away from home, she had already planned to be pregnant until Yuechan was pregnant. She thought Li Xiu would not chase him so easily, so she seemed so shocked when she saw Li Xiu just now.

Li Xiu couldn't help but get angry when he heard this, but then he calmed down again and said slowly: "This time, Yue Chan and the others came with me for your business. Anyway, it was a bit boring to stay in Chang'an, so I took them out for a while, maybe I'll stay in the south for a while!"

"Really? That's great! Are Jin'er and Ping'anlang and others here too?" Qi Niang couldn't help but shouted in surprise when she heard Li Xiu's answer, and almost jumped up happily. If Li Xiu decided to live in the south for a while, she could transform the shipbuilding workshop at will according to her own ideas, and even guide the craftsmen to build the most ideal sea boat in her heart.

"We're here. This time our family has almost moved our family. I guess we'll go back next year or the next year. Just then, His Majesty wants me to enter the court again, so I'll take this opportunity to avoid the limelight." Li Xiu had nothing to hide from his sister, and told the truth now.

"Hehe~, I think this is the real reason why you left Chang'an, brother. After all, your temperament is definitely unwilling to be like those of Fang Xiang, and you are buried in the document every day!" Qi Niang is worthy of being Li Xiu's own sister, and she guessed Li Xiu's true thoughts at once, and Li Xiu did not deny this.

After Qi Niang knew that Princess Pingyang and the others had also come, she immediately took him to see a few sisters-in-laws. She had already thought about it. As long as there were a few sisters-in-laws, she would beg them by herself, so she would definitely let her brother relax her punishment. This is not the first time she has used this method. In the past, several sisters-in-law would plead for her every time she had trouble.

At the same time, in a yard near Quanzhou Wharf, the young man who had just arrived here some time ago was sitting there tasting tea. A middle-aged manager stood there and said to the other party respectfully: "Young Master, I wonder what are your requirements for this time?"
