capital girl

Chapter 48

Zhang Xiulan looked at Li Yulou in embarrassment, scolding herself for being useless, usually praising her daughter for being sensible, and scolding her son for being useless, but at the critical moment, she actually made a move and asked her daughter to be a concubine for the third prince to protect her son and the whole family idea.

But she couldn't say that yet, so as not to hurt her daughter's heart.

"Then wait and see! If you go out to sea by boat to hide for a while, the third prince can't stay in Xiuzhou forever." Zhang Xiulan suggested.

Li Yulou is a smart person, with just one look from her mother, she knew what her mother was thinking in her heart, and she was still a little sad.

Her mother usually scolds her younger brother the most, but in fact she loves her most. At critical moments, she is the one who will be abandoned.

But she also knows that women are like this. If you knock on the door of any family and ask, maybe ninety-nine out of ten people will give up their daughters.

Knowing the result clearly, Li Yulou didn't think too much about it, let alone worry, it's not that her mother doesn't love her, it's just that she loves her younger brother more.

It is said that the human heart itself is biased.

"Don't worry, mother, I will find a way by myself. When it is a last resort, I will not implicate my brother, and yours..."

"Yulou, mother doesn't mean that..." Zhang Xiulan looked at Li Yulou awkwardly and embarrassingly, how could she forget that this daughter is too smart.

This time it was Li Xu who was extremely angry, "How can my daughter of Li Dongtang be a concubine for others, so what if she is a prince?"

Zhang Xiulan rushed forward and knocked Li Xu to the ground, gagged his mouth, and ordered the mother-in-law to drag him into the study.

"Are you going to die?" Zhang Xiulan scolded angrily with her eyes wide open, "There are so many people around the door, it is treasonous to hear your words, what should you do if you are heard by the third prince and the imperial concubine?"

"That's right, my daughter Li Dongtang just can't be someone else's concubine."

"Then you can't be so noisy, he is the prince, what do you say!" Zhang Xiulan lost her strength and sat on the chair next to Li Xu and sighed, "If you offend the prince and concubine, our family still has a way to survive." ?"

"Then they can't take my daughter as a concubine by force. This is a robbery of a commoner girl. I will file a complaint when I go to the capital to beat Dengwengu." Li Xu said angrily.

"Do you think you can get out of Xiuzhou?" Zhang Xiulan said, "You have to go out if you go to Beijing to sue the imperial court. Any checkpoint will stop you, put a big hat on you and put you in a cell..."

"I can't even die." Li Xu blushed from being blocked by Zhang Xiulan, and said with his neck stuck.

"Okay, if it doesn't work, let's go to sea. I have contact with the shipping caravan. Let's go to Nanyang..." Zhang Xiulan said, stood up and went out.

Apart from studying, this husband has thoughts that would rather be broken than broken.

After the third prince gave the gift, Li Yulou seemed to have become the third prince's concubine. Some people even said that when the third prince married the head wife and opened a mansion outside, Li Yulou would be the side concubine and reach the sky in one step.

Unexpectedly, Li Xu became even more famous. Many people praised his scholarship and literary talents. Recently, he has been constantly invited. He is not here to drink and compose poems, or to talk about calligraphy and painting there.

The business of her shop has inexplicably improved, and the fabric merchants from the capital even made a special trip to her house to buy fabrics.

There are even rumors that the imperial concubine once attended a banquet wearing clothes made of her family's purple silk yarn, which made her family's purple silk yarn popular again.

Her father was busy with socializing every day, and seemed to have forgotten that his daughter could not marry the third prince as a concubine.Because her mother's business is booming, she doesn't even mention her affairs.

Li Yulou stood on the pole where the fabric was dried and looked at the next door, wondering when he would see the young man from Zhilan Yushu.

The boy finally appeared, standing in the yard watching her.

She thought she was dazzled, so she rubbed her eyes, but luckily, the boy was there.

A bright smile suddenly appeared on Li Yulou's face.

The boy's cheeks were reflected in the sun, revealing a bright luster.

Even the half-worn robe could hardly conceal the brilliance emanating from his body, no matter from which angle he looked at it, he was perfect and impeccable.

Li Yulou's cheeks were warm, and he quickly averted his greedy eyes.

"Chuntao, follow me..." Li Yulou hastily shouted to Chuntao, who was sitting there with her legs crossed and eating melon seeds.

Chuntao hurriedly threw the melon seed skins into the garbage dump beside her, and said yes, she squatted on the ground and raised her arms upwards.

The helpers in the nearby workshops stared straight at him.

Sister Chuntao's breasts are getting hotter and hotter.

Chuntao ignored the children and reached out to catch Li Yulou.

"I'm leaving..." Li Yulou said and left the back workshop, went into the kitchen and took a few snacks made by her mother, wrapped them up, and then went to Doctor Song's house next door.

Dr. Song is out for a visit, but there is no one at home.

"Shigu..." The girl's smile was like fireworks blooming on her face, her voice was clear and sweet, like a drop of nectar on a bamboo leaf in the morning.

The girl's eyelashes trembled and lifted upwards, like a fairy dancing. Under the eyelashes, a pair of eyes were watery, and one could see the joy floating in the deep eyes with a clear glance.

The young man stood at the door, clasping the door knocker with his slender and fair fingers, making the rusty door knocker seem to shine, adding a bit of ancient charm.

The young man's face was pale, and he couldn't see any joy or anger, but the joy that couldn't be concealed in his eyes was like a clear spring bubbling out of the mountains.

"Why did you suddenly come back?"

Li Yulou walked into the courtyard as he spoke.

"I haven't been back for several days, come back to see foster father..." Meng Shiyu said as he followed the girl's hopping steps.

"Doctor Song is very good. I will come to see him every two days to bring him water and food. Don't worry, I will take care of him. You can study at ease. In a few months, Chunwei will be here. By the way, when are you leaving for the capital?" Li Yulou looked at Meng Shiyu and asked.

"One or two more months, it won't be too long..." Meng Shiyu replied.

"I'll help you prepare what you need to bring. Don't worry about the money, I have a lot of private money, and I'll bring it for you. It's a lot..." The girl opened the food box and gave it to Meng Shi as she spoke. Rain for snacks.

The boy stood against the light and helped the girl block the direct sunlight. Under the shadow, the smile in the girl's eyes was brighter than the sun.

"Aren't you worried that I'll leave with your money and never come back?" Meng Shiyu asked while taking a piece of mung bean cake.

"No, Shi Yu is not such a person..." Li Yulou raised his eyebrows, his eyes were full of trust.

Fool... Meng Shiyu murmured in his heart.

"I have enough money, so you don't need to prepare..." Meng Shiyu said.

"If you are poor at home and rich when you go out, you must bring more. I have made up my mind, and I will save some for you in the bank, so that it is safer to prepare..."

Meng Shiyu knew that she would not believe her saying that she was not short of money, so she asked instead, "Have you had a hard time recently?"
