Chang Anqing

Chapter 64
Early the next morning, when Li Sui just got up and was letting the maid serve and dress up, she heard a hurried voice, as if someone had lifted the curtain and entered, before she could turn her head and the maid saluted.

"Baby lady-"

Just when Li Sui turned her head, she saw Yang Baoying came in anxiously, looked at the people in the room next to her, and swallowed what she wanted to say. Li Sui naturally understood why Baoying came, so she scanned the room. Glancing at the people in the house, he said, "Yu Nu will stay and serve and dress up, and the others will go down first."

Seeing that everyone was leaving, Li Sui looked at Baoying, whose eyes were dripping with sweat, and said, "I came here so early, can I have food?"

Looking at Li Sui, who was calm as usual, Baoying was stunned for a while, then shook her head, Li Sui smiled and said to the maid who was lifting the curtain and went out: "Put the rice on, and add another pair of bowls and chopsticks."

When the servant girl bowed respectfully and retired, Baoying on the side could no longer sit still, and immediately stepped forward and said anxiously: "I heard from the servant girl in the courtyard this morning that cousin Jin proposed to the saint yesterday and wanted to ask to marry you. Is this true?"

It was rare to see Baoying in front of her looking like this, Li Sui nodded "yes", then pulled her to sit next to her and said, "I heard from my aunt about this when I came back from the palace yesterday."

Seeing Li Sui's calm eyes signaling Yu Nu to continue putting on her hair and make-up, Baoying realized that she seemed to be a little too flustered, so she managed to calm down, but the worry in her eyes did not diminish.

"What did Madam say?"

Seeing Yu Nu's pair of skillful hands neatly combing her buns, Li Sui picked up a simple white jade bell hairpin and compared it on her temples, and leisurely handed it to Yu Nu and let her put it on. Then he turned his head and said, "Auntie let me rest assured."

"Okay, why did it happen so suddenly, and I never heard the slightest bit of wind before."

Baoying was talking on the side, when she suddenly thought of something, she stepped forward and said, "Could it be that cousin Jin also likes you?"

Hearing Baoying's words, Li Sui immediately "puchi--" smiled, and seeing Baoying gave her an angry look, she said, "My good sister, please stop guessing."

"Can--"

Seeing what Baoying wanted to say, Li Sui suddenly covered the back of her hand and said, "Don't worry, although I grew up in the Taiwei's mansion, I'm still in the Li family. As long as Aye and the others don't let go, can others force me?"

Hearing Li Sui say this, Baoying finally let go of her heart and said in her voice, "That's good. When I woke up today and heard it, I couldn't care less, and I just thought I heard it wrong."

Li Sui's heart warmed when he heard the words, but he joked on his lips: "You didn't always worry about my marriage, but now you have raised your eyebrows, why are you so fiery."

Baoying heard the words, and immediately blurted out: "Although I am worried, I also hope that you can marry the person you admire, don't be like—"

Speaking of this, Baoying suddenly paused, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, and then she changed the subject and said, "Cousin Jin is good, but I can see that you have nothing to do with him. mutual affection."

Hearing these words, Li Sui glanced at Baoying beside her through the Linghua mirror. In silence, she gently stretched out her right hand to hold Baoying's hand and said, "Don't worry too much."

"Sir, it's alright."

Hearing Yu Nu's soft call, Li Sui pulled Baoying up and said, "Let's go, let's go to my aunt's place after eating."

Baoying nodded, Fang and Li Sui walked out hand in hand, and saw that only Yu Nu was serving by Li Sui's side, so she asked, "Why don't you see Nian Nu?"

"Niannu went out to buy something and came back in a while."

Seeing Li Sui say this, Baoying didn't ask any further questions. The two of them just had breakfast quietly and went to the Chaolu Courtyard.

However, I didn't want to see that the Chaolu Courtyard would be very busy today. Several ladies in the mansion had arrived. Li Sui looked at Lang Xiawu pressing down on all the servants, and he was already thinking about it. He must have heard yesterday's news. Come to hear clearly.

When the curtain was lifted, everyone looked at her. Compared with the seriousness in her aunt's eyes, Mrs. Cao, who was next to her, looked at her like she liked it more and more, with a kind smile that couldn't be concealed on her face. .

Seeing this, Li Sui brought Baoying forward as usual, and saluted respectfully and with dignity, and listened to Mrs. Li: "Get up."

"A'man's dress today is pretty good-looking, and it makes people more agile and beautiful, and it even compares the autumn colors."

Hearing Mrs. Cao's compliment, Mrs. Li's smile did not diminish, but the bottom of her eyes was a little cold. Seeing everyone agree, Li Sui came forward to hold Mrs. Li and let Mrs. Li pull him to sit. Beside her, she said with a smile in her eyes: "Mrs. Xie praised me, this dress was chosen by my aunt, so it can be seen that my aunt loves me."

Seeing Li Sui in the seat skillfully not answering Mrs. Cao's words, Mrs. Cui, the third wife watching the play, couldn't help but smile and glanced at Mrs. Cao, who was covering up the unnaturalness, and then looked at Mrs. Li and said, "No way. , The person who loves our Man the most in this family is none other than the eldest lady, I'm afraid that even Erlang Saburo will have to eat it when he sees it."

Hearing this, Mrs. Li glanced at Mrs. Cui, how could she not understand the meaning? Although she didn't like Mrs. Cui in ordinary times, she felt that Mrs. Cui's words were rarely in her heart, so she looked at Mrs. Cao with a smile on her lips and said: " Aman is the sweet girl in the palm of our Li family, how does Erlang Saburo compare with Aman?"

After saying that, Mrs. Li took Li Sui in as if she was sympathetic and sighed: "Thinking about Aman's going to leave the cabinet in the future, I feel like marrying a daughter. The good boy is."

Hearing the four words "the family is right" in Li's mouth, Cao's smile froze, but Cui, who was opposite, glanced at her with a smile. Although she looked away calmly, she couldn't see the irony in it. clear.

Thinking of this, Mr. Cao clenched his hands, and although he was smiling, his heart was already on fire with anger.

At this moment, Li Sui was silent and did not say much, but he caught Baoying's worried eyes, and the unconcealed look of the county head Rong'an next to Cui Shi.

When everyone left, Mrs Cao still kindly pulled Li Sui and said a few words under the corridor, and then finally left.

"This is what Mrs. Taiwei said. Mrs. Cao doesn't seem to be planning to give up."

Hearing Baoying's words, Li Sui shook his head with a smile. Cao's family was looking forward to the stars and the moon. How could he give up easily after looking forward to such a good situation?

Now Yang Jin is a marquis, which is a bit higher than Yang Yan.

If you marry her again, the tide will rise and the boat will rise. Cao's next step is to seize the position of the prince. How can she not be moved by such a good prospect as the mother of the future prince.

……

In this room, seeing that Madam Cao was so angry just now, she was full of sullen anger. Although she never let it out, her feet were getting worse and worse. The confidant Wen Niang on the side saw it and comforted her carefully: "Madam, don't be angry, the eldest madam is afraid now. Yu Dalang's exploits can only benefit from his words."

Sensing that Cao's eyes softened a little when he heard the words, and there seemed to be a bit of arrogance that could not be concealed, Wen Niang continued: "Now we just need to find a way to settle this marriage, and everything will be a matter of course, when the time comes, we will Even if the eldest lady disagrees, you have to agree."

Hearing Wen Niang's words, Mrs Cao gradually slowed down and stopped under the porch, watching the colorful butterflies flying outside the porch and the autumn lights blooming with exotic flowers, but she didn't have the slightest interest in enjoying it.

"Of course I know this truth, but after all, the lieutenant has promised to help us."

Speaking of this, Mrs Cao sneered and said, "Miss Li is just relying on the huge Li family. Without the support of the Li family, how could she dare to talk to me like this with a cowardly and useless Yang Yan?"

Why put it on her head?

When Wen Niang heard this, she already understood Cao's next words, and there was a hint of secret light in her eyes, and then she stepped forward and said: "If the captain is willing to help us, this is God's will, but we still need human effort. ."

"Artificial?"

When Cao shi heard the words, his eyes were lightly raised, only to see Wen Niang's eyes moving slightly, and her voice was even softer. Almost only Cao shi could hear the words: "Madam, if the boat is done, the Li family has to answer."

Hearing Wen Niang's words, Cao Shi's pupils lit up, and he realized it immediately. When they looked at each other, an imperceptible arc appeared on the lips.

"But it's so risky, if people know about it, I'm afraid that marriage won't turn out to be revenge--"

Seeing that Mrs. Cao was still a little worried, Niang Wen's eyes narrowed slightly, she stepped forward to support Mrs. Cao and comforted her as she walked, "Don't worry, Madam, the servants will make this matter go unnoticed, and no one will be able to find out. ."
