Splendid spring returns

Chapter 162

Difficult, too difficult.The only advantage is that she is in the dark and Concubine Liao is in the light.The old godly woman probably never imagined in her dreams that her daughter-in-law would dare to kill her. It is a heinous crime for a daughter-in-law to harm her mother-in-law, and she will be cut into pieces.Over the years, I have only occasionally heard of sons killing their parents, but never of daughter-in-laws daring to kill their parents-in-law.

While Xin Nian was thinking, he saw Li Zhi walking in from the courtyard, with a small face flushed red whether it was sunburned or for other reasons.

"Lichi, come in."

Xin Nian saw that there seemed to be shame and annoyance on her face, so she called someone in, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter? Who offended our girl Lizhi?"

"It's nothing." Li Zhi smiled "puchi": "Auntie, do you still remember the nerd who fell off the tree last time we went outside the second gate?"

"Oh, remember, is that Zhao Chu? He is not a bookworm. I heard from the prince that he is the most active among those few moves."

"No wonder, I just said he was a little out of tune."

Li Zhi stroked the handkerchief in his hand, recalled Zhao Chu's words and deeds, couldn't help laughing and said: "I went to the second gate to ask Mama Li for the eyebrow pencil she lent me, but when I came out, I saw this guy at the second gate When he saw me, he said he had something important to inquire about. I thought these were guests after all, so I didn’t want to offend them, so I had to go over. As a result, he asked me about the third girl, and involved his friend. What Jiang Yan replied, he praised the other party's integrity. Hmph! It's obvious that the drunkard's intention is not to drink, I think it should be that he wants to win our three girls, so I told him to concentrate on studying, then he will be thoughtful, and he should go to high school I'll talk about it later. As a result, he said, "Tomorrow's Dragon Boat Festival, let me get a few more rice dumplings for him in the kitchen. Auntie, listen, what are you talking about? It seems like we have treated him badly every day. Auntie...Auntie... ..."

"Oh." Xin Nian snapped back to his senses, and said with a smile, "Isn't it just a few zongzi? I think he likes to eat them, so you can give him a few more. It's not worth much."

"I don't want to go, I'll find two boys to deliver the dumplings, otherwise I will be seen and gossip. Grandma and Aunt Qiu and the concubine have sent countless eyeliners to watch us. If they know that I am going to deliver the zongzi, can they forgive me?" Me? I don't mind, I'm afraid they will use me to find my aunt's bad luck, so why bother."

"Well, you're thoughtful." Xin Nian nodded: "Forget it, since we're talking about the kitchen, go over and have a look and ask Sanniang to make one or two hundred more fancy rice dumplings, and I'll keep them as gifts."

"Yes."

Lizhi turned around and went away, and here Xin Nian touched his chin and said to himself: "I think the prince probably hinted at Zhao Chu, he asked someone to inquire about the character of the third girl, and praised Jiang Yan for being upright, this is obviously a match It means that he is a delicate-minded person. If he hadn’t seen through Jiang Yanhui’s attitude, he wouldn’t be so positive. This is telling me that Jiang Yanhui’s going back there is no problem. It’s just that he can clearly say this to the prince. , why do you have to convey it through the mouth of Lizhi? This kid, he must have some thoughts about Lizhi, right? "

Xin Nian suddenly remembered that when she heard Yaya’s voice rushing over that day, this Zhao Chu was bowing and bowing to make amends to Yaya, salivating and calling Sister Lizhi, begging her not to blame her. Combined with today's strangeness, she couldn't help but feel a little ghostly in her heart.

"Lichi is two or three years older than him, and he's a slave. Even if he doesn't have a slave status, he can't be a high-ranking man. If you want to be his concubine, that's not okay. It's good to have a wife like me. If someone like Liao Jiaru is on the stall, why not wait to be killed? No, no, no."

"What's wrong? I saw you shaking your head like a rattle at the door."

Gu Changting's voice came from the door, Xin Nian got up quickly, and said with a smile, "Why are you here at this time? Have you finished dealing with the outside affairs?"

"It's approaching the Dragon Boat Festival, and there's nothing else to do, so I'm here to have a look."

Xin Nian knew it was because he had just taken over the warehouse, so he was afraid that those people in the mansion would deliberately refuse to accept it in order to please Concubine Liao and the Liao family, and came here to support him, because he smiled and said: "Alright, it's rare to steal half a day's leisure from Fusheng. The good tea you gave me yesterday, I brewed a pot when I got up, you have a taste."

While the two were drinking tea, Gu Changting asked her what was wrong again.Xin Nian talked about the lychees, and finally sneered, "I think this Zhao Chu's mind is a bit too active. What he said is just like you, why he deliberately provokes the lychees, and he has some bad intentions to keep them in place. You It's best to warn him, don't think that you are a romantic talent, and you want to take advantage of a girl, even if you want Lizhi to be her concubine, I am not willing."

Gu Changting coughed, stroked the teacup in his hand, and said softly, "I don't want to be a concubine, so... what if I'm a regular wife?"

"Real wife?" Xin Nian was taken aback for a moment, and then he said angrily, "Are you crazy or am I? Or is that Zhao Chu crazy? What is his identity? Li Zhi is just a slave, even if he is released from slavery, he will be highly valued." not on."

Gu Changting nodded and said, "I also think that kid is crazy. But...it's not like there's love at first sight in this world, don't you think?"

Xin Nian looked at him with a half-smile, put a cherry into his mouth, and said leisurely: "I think, ninety-nine percent of the love at first sight you men talk about is just love at first sight."

Gu Changting chewed the cherries, and argued inarticulately: "Then Zhao Chu may be the one left."

Xin Nian looked Gu Changting up and down, and suddenly frowned, "You didn't discuss the third sister's marriage with me, why are you so enthusiastic about Zhao Chu? Is there something you are hiding from me?"

"How come? I just said it casually." Gu Changting spit out the cherry pit and thought: Zhao Chu, you can either wait for the gold list title honestly or rely on your own efforts. I can't guarantee whether you will be beaten or not. This king can only help you here.

*****************
"It rained a few times after the Dragon Boat Festival this year, and there have been two or three more rains since the Ghost Festival a while ago. It seems that this year must be a bumper harvest year, right?"

"Whether we have a good harvest here, what matters? What matters is the south. Haven't you heard that Huguangshu, the world is full?"

"You can't say that. Could it be that the people here are struggling? If there is a good harvest, they will be richer, right?"

Xin Nian and Aunt Gu, Aunt Qiu and Liao Shi went to the concubine's courtyard to pay their respects. They met on the way, although each other hated each other's death in their hearts, they both pretended to be harmonious on their faces, chatting with each other. .

When I came to the concubine's courtyard, I saw the big tent in the courtyard open, and Concubine Liao was sitting inside drinking tea and eating snacks.
