The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 231

Fast forward to the New Year's Eve, although the town government's mansion has experienced many ups and downs this year, but fortunately, all the bad times have been turned into good fortune.After wading through these difficulties and obstacles, everyone's state of mind has grown.

In addition, Li Xiang had just arranged a marriage that made everyone feel satisfied. This year's reunion dinner with the family sitting together was also full of joy.

The wedding between Li Xiang and Pingyang is scheduled for the autumn of the next year. The Zhen Guo Duke's Mansion is a wealthy family, and Li Xianggui is the son-in-law. This marriage is also bestowed by the emperor.Li Xiang's marriage is naturally complicated and complicated. Although there is still more than half a year to prepare, everything has to be prepared urgently.

After the marriage decree came down, Concubine Lan specially invited the old lady to Prince Yong's mansion as a guest. The old lady was also very satisfied when she saw Princess Pingyang.

At the family reunion banquet on New Year's Eve, the old man couldn't help but kept talking about his grandson's marriage: "Although Xiang'er's Xianglan Court is very spacious, wouldn't it be a little wrong to live there after marriage?"

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, Li Xiang hurriedly said: "I'm used to living in that yard, even after I get married, I don't want to move any more."

After hearing what his son said, Duke Zhen said, "The courtyard is big enough. I think it will be enough to expand the garden at the back and renovate the main hall and side halls. If we build a new residence, the project will be huge. I'm afraid Too late."

Seeing that the father and son said this, the old lady didn't insist anymore, she just changed the topic and told the two granddaughters-in-law: "Wanning and Shu'er are going to have to work hard these days, and planning for the wedding is a lot of work. Let's discuss it together, if you have any doubts, feel free to ask me."

The two granddaughters-in-law agreed together.

Li Ling heard the old lady's words, and the big hand under the table quietly grabbed his wife's small hand, and said to the old lady: "My sister-in-law is neat and has prepared a wedding for me, so I understand everything. Shu'er Although she is young, she is careful and orderly in her work. She has been in charge of the house for the past two years and has established a prestige in the mansion. The third brother's marriage will naturally be handled with ease, so don't worry about it, grandma."

Li Ling was born with a cold face. Although his glacier face had softened to the greatest extent on such a happy family occasion, he still looked majestic and cold.

Such a serious person, on such a happy occasion, sat there with a sullen face and praising his daughter-in-law in front of the whole family.

It looked and sounded indescribably inconsistent and awkward.

As soon as Li Ling said these words, the originally lively table fell into an embarrassing silence.

Seeing that the crowd suddenly became unresponsive, Li Ling looked left and right, and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter? Why are everyone silent?"

Li Xiang quietly glanced at his brother and the helpless people, in order to ease the awkward atmosphere, he smiled and said: "It's rare to hear second brother boasting like that."

The third girl who was next to Li Xiang joked, "Second elder brother is clearly praising my two sister-in-laws, but obviously he praises second sister-in-law more. It sounds really haha, weird."

Xu Wanning answered with a cheerful smile: "How could your second brother sincerely want to praise me? Didn't you see that? He wanted to praise his wife, so it's not easy to say it directly, so he just brought me out as a foil. "

Hearing this, Li Ling smiled and said to Xu Wanning: "Sister-in-law, you have wronged me. I will always remember your hard work in organizing my marriage."

Xu Wanning didn't care about Li Ling's selling, she just smiled and looked at her uncles and sisters-in-law, and asked, "Tell me, did I wrong your second brother?"

Li Xiang had always been afraid of his elder brother, when he saw that he was going to stand in line, he immediately lowered his head, pretended to be confused and refused to express his opinion.

Seeing that Li Xiang was unwilling to offend anyone, the third girl didn't dare to offend her elder brother openly, so she just faltered and said, "Well, sister-in-law doesn't count as wronging second brother, oops! I'm still young, and I sometimes deal with you adults. I don't quite understand it."

Xu Wanning saw that the two uncles and aunts were so spineless and had no position, she looked at Murong Lizhu who was sitting next to the old lady unwillingly: "Cousin, what do you think?"

Murong Lizhu smiled faintly, and persuaded Xu Wanning: "For the sake of the second cousin's love for his cousin, the first cousin will let him go this time."

Murong Lizhu's words made everyone laugh out loud.

Xu Wanning also laughed, but her mouth was unforgiving: "It's a good thing that your cousin loves his wife, but he just used me as a foil."

Xu Wanning half-spoken, cast an annoyed look at Li Ling, and snorted: "Second brother, if you ask me for anything from now on, I won't be able to answer you."

Li Ling was picking up vegetables for Jingshu. Hearing this, he immediately put on a smiley face and said, "Your Majesty has a lot, so you really want to argue with me to the end?"

Xu Wanning glanced at the various dishes piled up like a hill on Jingshu's plate, and teased Li Ling: "Oh! Just take a look. Second brother, I didn't say you. With so many dishes, who can compete with your wife? No?"

She pointed to the small dish full of vegetables in front of Jingshu, and said with a smile: "Should someone fetch a big bowl, I don't think the small dishes in front of my younger siblings can hold it all."

Xu Wanning's words made everyone laugh again.

The third girl glanced at Li Ling, shook her head helplessly, and echoed with a bit of old-fashioned meaning: "My second brother is really protecting his wife to an outrageous degree, and someone really should take care of him." .”

Li Ling glared at his younger sister: "Isn't it enough to have my sister-in-law arrange me? Why are you still here to join in the fun?"

Li Xian picked up a large piece of stewed meat and put it into his wife's bowl beside him, and said with a smile, "Eat it quickly, you just like to offend people."

Xu Wanning took a bite of the stewed meat, chewed and swallowed it slowly, glanced at Li Ling who remained unchanged even after being teased by him, smiled and said to the old lady sitting above: "Grandmother, If the second brother is like this, you old man won’t take care of it.”

The old lady waved her hands with a smile and said: "You are so powerful that you can't control it, and I don't want to control it. Forget it, just let him go."

Murong Lizhu beside the old lady heard this, with a gentle smile on her face, she said to Xu Wanning: "Sister-in-law, this is the wrong helper, aunt always loves grandson-in-law more than grandson, she The old man can't wait to see his grandson protect his wife, so how can he care about it?"

After hearing this, Xu Wanning looked at Murong Lizhu with a smile and said, "Your cousin can understand."

The old lady looked at her grandniece at the side, smiled and said to Xu Wanning: "Your cousin has also reached the age of marriage, and when Xiang'er's marriage is over, your cousin should also pay attention to it."
