After playing with the little girl for a while, Li Zexuan was no longer sleepy. So, he carried Lan 'er and left the room.
Under the care of Xiao He and Xiao Xi, the siblings washed up and went to the front yard to have breakfast. However, they bumped into San Bao.
"Hey, San Bao? Are you feeling better? "
"Yes, Young Master. My body is very strong. I've almost recovered since last night!"
San Bao quickly scratched his head and said with a silly smile.
"Hey, look at what you're capable of! Later, go to Butler Wang to get three strings of money as a tip! Thank you for your hard work yesterday! "
Li Zexuan took a closer look and realized that San Bao was really fine. He waved his hand and brought Lan 'er to the front hall.
"Thank you, Young Master! Thank you, Young Master! "
San Bao was very surprised and thanked him profusely. When the other servants saw this, they looked at San Bao enviously. This tip was equivalent to a few months of their salary!
…
In the front hall.
The family of four was having breakfast happily.
Mrs. Li hadn't seen her son for three days. Yesterday's dinner and today's breakfast were very sumptuous. They were all Li Zexuan's favorite dishes.
Li Zexuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If he ate like this every day, it wouldn't take long for him to become a big fat man. By then, Chang 'an would have one less handsome man ~ ~ Tsk tsk!
"Xuan 'er, come and drink some mushroom pheasant soup. This pheasant was sent over by your in-laws yesterday!"
Mrs. Li scooped some soup for her son with a smile. Li Jingmo, who was sitting at the side, was naturally left out. Not only that, because Mrs. Li stood up to scoop some soup for him, Mr. Li couldn't even pick up any food. He could only eat the white rice in his bowl silently.
"Okay, okay, mom, you shouldn't eat too much for breakfast!"
Li Zexuan quickly said.
"Who said that I shouldn't eat too much for breakfast? That's nonsense! "
Mrs. Li rolled her eyes at her son. Although she said that, she still put down the spoon and sat back down.
"Haha, that's right. Mother, you just said that this pheasant was sent by Han Lizheng, but why didn't he come in person?"
Li Zexuan asked as he ate.
"Haha! Isn't this all because of you? "
Old Man Li, who had been eating silently at the side, said, "I heard that Han Li has been busy preparing for your marriage with Han girl these past few days. At the same time, he often goes to the neighboring Plum Village to check on the situation of the chicken farm there. He's so busy, how could he have the time to come over and deliver pheasants to you? This pheasant was hunted by the Han Village's farmer. After he gave it to Han Lizheng, he couldn't bear to eat it, so he asked someone to send it over! "
"Oh, I see!"
"Brat, what have you been doing in the workshop recently?"
Li Jingmo took a bite and asked.
In the past, the Li family had always been particular about not talking while eating. Ever since Li Zexuan returned, he had led the entire Li residence astray.
"Hehe, it's nothing. I was just bored and made some small things to play with!"
Li Zexuan explained casually.
"Brother, what's so fun about it? Lan 'er wants to play with it too! "
"Mm, okay, I'll teach you later!"
…
After breakfast, Li Zexuan didn't forget that he had something important to do today. He called San Bao, Xiao He, Xiao Xi, and Lan 'er over, then took out a telegraph and a few spare batteries. He said to them, "Send these things to the Han family. I've already put the instructions and code book of the telegraph inside. Xiao Xi, you know more about the telegraph. If Yuxi doesn't know how to use it, you can teach her!"
"Yes, Young Master!"
"Lan 'er, don't run around. Do you understand?"
"Hehe, I know! Brother is so long-winded! "
Li Zexuan couldn't be bothered to banter with her. He looked at San Bao and said, "San Bao, ask a few guards to go with you later and protect Miss's safety!"
Li Zexuan didn't plan to let Lan 'er go with them. However, he couldn't resist the little girl's pestering. Now, he could only arrange a few more people to take care of her.
"Mm, Young Master, don't worry. I will definitely not let anything happen to Miss Lan 'er!"
San Bao patted his chest and promised. His loyalty to Li Zexuan was unquestionable. He was almost equivalent to Li Zexuan's number one "henchman".
"Mm, go quickly! Xiao Xi, remember to send me a telegram when you arrive! "
"Yes, Young Master!"
…
A group of people drove the carriage out of Yongle Lane and went straight to the west gate of Chang 'an City.
Li Zexuan estimated that Xiao Xi and the rest wouldn't be able to reach the Han family in less than two hours. (After all, the road from Chang 'an City to the Han family village wasn't wide and flat. It wasn't easy to walk on it.) So, he went back to his room to catch up on his sleep. For the past three days, he had been working overtime and didn't have much time to rest. Today, he wanted to sleep for the whole morning but was woken up by Lan' er.
Since the telegram machine was in his room, he would be able to hear Han Yuxi's message immediately.
Li Zexuan slipped back to the west courtyard, closed the door and windows, and started to sleep.
Eat and sleep, sleep and eat. If Old Man Li was at home and knew about this, he would probably scold Li Zexuan for not doing his job properly and being a good-for-nothing.
Li Zexuan laid on the bed and fell into a deep sleep after a while. This speed of falling asleep, no matter who it was, they would have to admit defeat.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden intermittent "Di Di Di" sound. He woke up abruptly and knew that Xiao Xi and the rest had arrived at the Han family village.
Li Zexuan walked quickly to the long table where the telegram machine was placed and started to record the telegram. Perhaps the person who sent the telegram wasn't very familiar with it. So, it took almost 15 minutes for the short message to be sent.
Luckily, Han Yuxi's side was slow. Li Zexuan had come into contact with telegrams in his previous life, but this was his first time making one! His speed of recording the code was also very slow. After he finished recording the code, Li Zexuan flipped open the code book and started to translate the telegram.
His speed was faster because he was the one who wrote the code book. He couldn't say that he remembered everything, but at least he was very familiar with it. After a while, Li Zexuan translated the contents of the telegram.
"Young Master, I am Xiao Xi. We have a safe journey and have arrived at Young Madam's house. Young Madam is learning how to use the telegram machine!"
Just a short thirty words, but there were almost seven hundred codes. Li Zexuan sighed in his heart. This telegram machine was still not as convenient as a phone!
"Heh, this is really greedy. You already have a telegram machine, why do you still need a bicycle?"
Li Zexuan laughed and shook his head. He thought for a while, then looked at the code book and sent a telegram. "En, take care of Lan Er. Don't let her run around. Also, tell Yuxi not to rush and learn slowly. I can wait!"
