Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 13 Revenge
Seeing their sisters talking and laughing all the way in, the second wife, Mrs. Bai, also had a smile on her face, and said:

"Miss Wei is here!"

"Today my aunt made you my favorite sweet and sour carp, sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root, and Dongpo pork in ginger sauce. Come, hurry up and take a seat!"

As soon as the words fell, a figure flew over.

"Third! Why did you come—!"

Li Pu, with a handsome face, approached Li Taiwei and said dissatisfiedly:

"I have looked at you back and forth three times! If my mother didn't allow me to go to the Spring Garden, I would have gone to look for you early in the morning!"

The Spring Garden was the courtyard of their long house, and when Bai saw Li Pu's unruly appearance, his face became tense.

"You forgot what your third uncle said to you yesterday? Your aunt is not in good health, so you are not allowed to make trouble with her! Tell your third uncle to throw him into the Zhuangzi later!"

Li Pu fears Li Taiwei's father the most, and Li Xiang's ability to torment people is so varied that you can't guard against it!
Seeing Li Pu calm down, Bai's face eased, and the family sat down.

The maid set out the dishes and jade chopsticks.

"Why doesn't Second Uncle have dinner in the mansion today?"

Seeing that the main seat was empty, Li Taiwei turned her head to ask Bai.

Bai Shi smiled wryly:

"Your second uncle stayed with me at my mother's house for the past few days and missed a lot of official documents. Today I went to the Yamen before dawn."

The second uncle, Li Qin, works in the Ministry of Rites as a servant. Although the official position is not big, it is a hard job.The whole day is very busy, especially when the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the sacrifices in the palace are complicated, and there is no chance of making any mistakes. I am afraid that I will be staying in the yamen for the next few days.

Li Taiwei nodded, and asked his brother Li Rui's recent situation.

"My eldest brother will be able to return home in a few days, and I will tell you in detail later!"

Li Pu raised his head from his rice bowl, blinked at Li Taiwei, and then got another eye shot from Bai Shi to stop him.

"Your mother has been recuperating for the past few days, and the servants may not be able to take good care of her. You come to Auntie's place to eat, and there are only one more pair of chopsticks left and right. You must not be polite to Auntie."

Mrs. Li smiled and thanked.

Bai's work is thoughtful and appropriate, and she is kind, Li Taiwei is very willing to get close to her.

Since Zhaohe gave birth to her, she has been taking care of her body, and the matter of being in charge of Zhongfu has fallen to her second aunt.The second aunt is modest and modest, and always discusses with her mother on any important matters, and the sister-in-law is very close.

In the previous life, not long after her mother passed away, her grandmother also fell ill. The entire backyard of the Hou Mansion was carried on her shoulders by Mrs. Bai to take care of everything.Even in Shengjing City, who doesn't praise Li Bai's virtuousness!

After dinner, Li Taiwei accompanied Bai's mother and daughter to talk for a while, thinking about Zhaohe's pregnancy, she found a way to return to the Spring Garden.

Li Pu offered to send her back, but Bai couldn't stop her.

Just after leaving Qiutang Courtyard, Li Pu looked Dafu up and down, and said curiously:

"You brought this back from Xiliang?"

The appearance of the Xiliang people is somewhat different from that of the Han people. Their skin color is whiter, and the outline between their brows is deeper, especially those amber eyes, which are crystal clear and shimmering like waves.

Li Taiwei's mother, Zhaohe, looks like her grandmother, Princess Yi'an, who was the most beautiful woman in Xiliang back then, and she surprised many princes and nobles when she came to Dazhou to get married!

Li Taiwei also has a pair of amber eyes. Her face is seven parts like a mother and three parts like a father. Except that her skin is obviously fairer than ordinary Han people, her appearance is closer to Han people.

This face of hers, so to speak, if she hadn't been protected by such a valuable identity, she wouldn't have been robbed by others many times!
Before Li Taiwei could speak, Dafu glanced at Li Pu and said bluntly:
"This is the heartless brother that the Princess said?"

Li Pu choked, coughed repeatedly, pointed at Dafu with one hand and said to Li Taiwei:
"You...you...look at her! Is there no rules? If you work in Qiutangyuan, you may be scolded and cried by my mother many times a day!"

Li Pu spoke very quickly, Dafu couldn't understand, blinked and looked at him curiously.

Li Taiwei paused, turned her head and glanced at Li Pu maliciously, and said:
"Dafu is a close attendant given to me by my grandmother. Her grandfather is the Cangnan King of Xiliang and my grandfather's cousin. Speaking of which... her status...is probably even more precious than yours!"

After hearing this, Li Pu was stunned for a moment, quickly withdrew his fingers, and glanced at Dafu again, he couldn't help wondering whether Li Taiwei's words were true or not.

Could this chubby girl really be a "Princess Princess"?
"Tell me, what are you looking for me for?"

At this time, Li Taiwei was focused on Zhaohe, and his pace quickened a little.

Li Pu was staring at Dafu, and when he came to his senses, he had already taken a few steps, hurriedly strode forward, put his hand around his mouth, and deliberately lowered his voice and said:

"Do you want revenge?"

Li Taiwei was startled: "How to say?"

Li Pu smiled charmingly and said:
"My elder brother will be back in two days. I heard that the kid from the Lu family was ordered to return to Beijing this year. He is probably going to run for the Jinwu Guard..."

"Isn't our eldest brother working in the Ministry of War now? Then find an excuse... Hehe... It's easy!"

When Li Taiwei heard this, his brows and eyes widened!
How could she have forgotten that the old widower in her previous life was the Jinwu Guard who ran for election in September?
In the previous life, Lu Xiao took the lead, and it was a sight to behold!Since then, the old widower has been promoted all the way, and Jin Wuwei has been gradually taken into his hands.

If she can strike first this time...

Li Taiwei also laughed, patted Li Pu on the shoulder, and said with satisfaction:
"It's rare that you have such a heart! If this matter is settled for me, even if you let grandma know about your martial arts in the future, I can also give you some ideas!"

"really?"

Li Pu was overjoyed, staring at Li Taiwei with starry eyes.

"Third brother! You are not allowed to deny it!"

What is Li Taiwei's identity!Not to mention that he was able to get away with being beaten by the eldest son of the Lu family, and even got a compliment from his grandmother!
No matter how bad it is, there are Princess Showa and Li Xiang behind her!As long as Li Taiwei is willing to accept his disaster...

The more Li Pu thought about it, the more reliable he felt, and he immediately puffed up his chest:

"Third brother! You just wait for your brother to avenge you!"

After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.

Li Taiwei shook his head when he saw that he was out of shape.

"Princess."

Nian Xia approached from the Hanging Flower Gate, her face became tense, she looked left and right, and then said:

"Princess, this maidservant just went to Hua'an Hall to inquire about it. I heard from Nanny Sun that half of the jewelry sent by the palace at the beginning of the year was given to Aunt Xue by the old lady, and the rest has not been touched... Now I still collect In Curry."

"I asked Nanny Sun again. In the past six months, Huichun has never gotten a hairpin from the old lady of Hua'antang... Princess..."

Nian Xia bit her lip, her eyes were stained with panic.

Xue Suqin?
Li Taiwei's eyes were stained with sternness.

In this way, the hairpin on Huichun's head can only be rewarded by Mrs. Xue!

The eldest maid in her mother's room actually accepted Xue's gift secretly without telling everyone.
Li Taiwei didn't notice this in her previous life, but now thinking of her mother's unknown pregnancy, her eyes turned cold.

"Princess, Huichun has been in the mansion for many years, and she has quite a lot of face in front of the wife. Is there any hidden secret in this?"

Nian Xia was a little uneasy.

She and Huichun have served his wife for many years, they are usually considered close, she can't believe that Huichun can do such a thing as betraying her master.But what the fourth girl said earlier made her unable to argue for Huichun.

Li Taiwei sullenly said:
"From today onwards, there is no need to ask her to take care of Yunshuiju. I have to keep my mother's pregnancy from her for the time being."

"If she's a good person, I won't treat her badly, but if she really thinks about it."

Li Taiwei didn't say a word, looking at the trembling branches in the wind, he narrowed his eyes.
