Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 253 Liang Gongren comes to Beijing

After pleasure, before going to sleep.

Hongyu got out of bed, pulled her shoes to the table, reached out and turned the valve, the leak was sealed, and the carbide lamp went out in an instant. Under the moonlight, he quietly returned to the bed. The cricket pupa lay in Li Weijian's arms, with a blush on his face, and he was speechless for a long time as if he was reminiscing.

After a moment, he said: "I'm going to Rongguo Mansion today. I heard from Sister-in-law Qin that Caixia was let out of the mansion by my wife."

"Ah."

Hongyu said: "My second grandma went to talk to my wife the day before yesterday, but she still refused. I don't know why she changed her mind."

Li Weijian finally gathered some energy, hugged Hongyu and said, "There's a reason for this." Hongyu always had a tight-lipped tone, similar to Fu Qiufang, so Li Weijian told the story about the witchcraft inside, and directly told the story. Hongyu was stunned for a while.

"Is there such a reason? Then why didn't the Second Grandma just tell the wife?" After saying this, she suddenly realized, and said: "Yes, now the Second Grandma and the wife are at odds with each other. With the Second Grandma's temperament, it is definitely I won’t tell my wife.”

"Ha." Li Weijian laughed without saying much.

More than that? Mrs. Wang thought she was smart and got a monk to join her. Both of them said it was evil, so the poisoning incident naturally became a "fake". Therefore, even if Mrs. Wang knew who harmed Baoyu, she could only deal with it secretly without any clear evidence.

It was estimated that Mrs. Wang had probably guessed who was doing it. Seeing Wang Xifeng move out Jia Lian to bring Caixia and Laishun together, she simply followed the trend and let Caixia out of the house.

As for Aunt Zhao, I'm afraid Mrs. Wang won't be able to handle her easily. If Aunt Zhao is dealt with, where can she find another concubine as stupid as Aunt Zhao? If she wanted someone smart and capable, wouldn't Mrs. Wang have to put more thought into it?
Although Baoyu is rotten, with Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan comparing it, will it not be that rotten?
On the other hand, Ma Daopo, who encouraged Aunt Zhao to poison her, was afraid that she would not be able to please her afterwards!
Hongyu was smart, and with just Li Weijian's sneer, he roughly understood Mrs. Wang's thoughts after thinking for a long time. I couldn't help feeling cold in my heart, thinking that Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan would have a very difficult time in the future.

Suddenly, she remembered that she had not been interested in seeing Miss Lin earlier, but she liked Miss Bao more. She thought she spoke well and handled things thoughtfully. Now that I think about it, it was a big mistake!
Miss Lin is full of joy and anger, but Miss Bao hides it in her heart. If such a person becomes the mistress of the house, with a friendly smile on her face, but turns her head and stabs her secretly, it will be impossible to prevent her.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but wrap his hands tightly around Li Weijian's arms, thinking to himself: Thanks to the Fourth Master's ability to recognize people, he was afraid that he would see through the two's character early on, so he chose Miss Lin regardless of it, right?

Li Weijian didn't know what he was thinking, so he just said: "Just watch, there are still twists and turns in this matter."

Hongyu said: "I think so... Caixia was poisoned by Aunt Zhao's orders. Aunt Zhao must take action to protect her."

Li Weijian yawned and said, "Go to sleep. Tomorrow I will have another day with those Hanlin officials, and the day after tomorrow I will go to Leting."

Hongyu suddenly raised her head and said, "Fourth Master is going out again? How long will it take this time?"

"I'll probably be back in about ten days."

Now that the Armed Forces' new fire gun is on the right track, it is limited by raw materials and can only produce more than fifty guns per day. This time, Li Weijian went to Laoting Iron Mine to build an open-hearth furnace. Just the day before yesterday, he built the first open-hearth furnace in the steam engine factory. It ran smoothly for several days, and the daily steel output increased significantly.

In addition, the imperial government invested 10,000 yuan for 20% of the shares, and Li Weijian invested 10,000 yuan for the same 20%. Cao Yunsheng spent 8,000 taels of silver to buy all the oil wells in Yan'an, and built a kerosene factory next to the steam engine factory. , it will be available for sale next month or so.

After a few days of laziness, there are no gods here, so it’s time to implement the industrial revolution step by step.

After saying this, Li Weijian fell into a deep sleep after only a moment. Hongyu was tossing and turning more and more. After she slapped her face, her parents finally relaxed and stopped saying weird things. As for the matter of worshiping the second grandma as godmother, it naturally ended without any problem.

Hongyu asked her mother and heard that the Rongguo mansion was getting worse and worse. She wanted to take her two elders out of the mansion to enjoy their happiness. Lin Zhixiao's family was slightly moved, but Lin Zhixiao didn't know what to think and refused. After thinking randomly for a long time, Hongyu secretly thought that no matter what, she followed the fourth master. Even if the Rongguo Mansion was in trouble, she could always ask the fourth master for help to rescue her parents.

Thinking of this, Hongyu raised her head and kissed Li Weijian twice before curling up on his arm and falling asleep.

Turning around, Wang Xifeng came this afternoon.

Because Fu Qiufang went to the factory to do an accounting and didn't come back, the reception fell on Hong Yu.

Seeing that it was Hongyu, Wang Xifeng took his hand and smiled and said: "If I had known you were so smart, I would have forced you to stay for two years no matter what. Now I only have a mediocre person beside me who can still handle me, and there is no other person I can like. "After a pause, he added: "That's all, I just said a few sarcastic words. If you follow brother Jian now, your future will be a hundred times better than if you follow me."

"Second Grandma was joking." Hongyu also liked Wang Xifeng's thoughtfulness and straightforwardness, and they talked happily with her. After a long while, he asked: "Qian'er, I heard from my mother that Caixia wants to ration Laishun?"

Wang Xifeng snorted coldly and said: "When you come to Wang's house, please go to the second master. The second master thinks that he is my roommate after all, so he can't help but talk to Caixia's parents."

"What did Caixia's parents say?"

"Reluctantly, I finally agreed." After a pause, Wang Xifeng frowned and said: "This morning, the master said again, saying that Caixia is still young, so even if she wants to marry someone, she has to stay for two more years. "

Hong Yu's heart trembled, and the fourth master was indeed right. It must have been Aunt Zhao who had tricked her into talking to Master Jia Zheng, which delayed the matter.

Wang Xifeng said quietly: "I am just a matchmaker. The marriage has been decided. What happens next depends entirely on the couple."

Hongyu smiled apologetically and said, "I hope I will remember my second grandma well."

Wang Xifeng shook his head and said: "That is also a bastard business, I don't count on it."

While they were talking, they heard movement outside. They expected Li Weijian to be back. Wang Xifeng and Hongyu hurriedly stood up to greet him. As soon as the two arrived in the courtyard, they bumped into Li Weijian who was returning.

Then they greeted each other and returned to the main room. Bi Tong served the tea, and after sitting down, Wang Xifeng said: "Your second brother was originally going to invite me today, but now that I have taken on the role of the heir, there are constant chores in the house every day. The boss has parents in the west and the family has shortcomings. It is annoying to me." . No, the sixth house is divided, and it’s up to your second brother to deal with it.

I couldn't get away, so I had to come alone. After a pause, he said sincerely: "Brother Jian saved my life. There is nothing my second sister-in-law can do, so she can only host a banquet to entertain me." Will Brother Jian be free tomorrow afternoon? "

Li Weijian smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law is going out now. I have to go out on business tomorrow morning and won't be back until ten days."

"Huh? This is not a coincidence."

"It's fair to say, but I don't have to worry about being late for such a good meal. I'll just remember the banquet for now. I'll definitely bother my second sister-in-law when I come back."

Sister Feng smiled brightly and said, "Look, Brother Jian can still speak. In that case, I won't force it. I'll wait until Brother Jian comes back."

After lingering for a while, Wang Xifeng immediately stood up and left.

After seeing off Wang Xifeng, Hongyu turned back and said, "It's weird. Second Mistress pushed Second Master Lian out to fight with his wife. What's the reason for this?"

Li Weijian reached out and pinched Hongyu's little nose and said, "I want to go."

What else? I'm afraid Wang Xifeng was heartbroken last time, but now the two of them are probably in the same bed but have different dreams, right?

After this day, Li Weijian was about to set off early the next morning. As a result, he led a group of guards and honor guards out of the mansion when he saw someone shouting on the roadside.

Li Weijian opened the curtain and took a look, only to see the servant beside Tan Chun. Li Weijian immediately stopped the carriage, and the waiter hurriedly caught up with him, handed him a sachet through the window, and said: "Fourth Master, this is the peace charm my girl asked for yesterday afternoon. I heard that Fourth Master is leaving early in the morning. , hurriedly sent me to see off Fourth Master."

Tanchun... I guess the little girl felt that she owed a lot and had nothing to repay, so she had to ask for a peace charm to express her feelings.

Li Weijian took the sachet, pulled it open and saw that it was indeed a peace talisman. He smiled and said, "Thank you for taking the trouble, third sister. Go back and tell third sister that I will accept it." After that, he hung up the peace talisman. At the waist.

When the servant saw this, he immediately smiled and left.

..................................................................

Tongzhou, Zuixian Tower.

Ding Rusong twisted the peanuts and threw them into his mouth. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Hearing the footsteps approaching, he turned around and saw Wu Haining coming up the stairs, wiping sweat from his forehead.

"It's only April, and it's so hot that it can kill you!" Wu Haining complained, and he pulled up a chair and sat down, picked up the teapot, poured a cup, and drank it all in one gulp.

Ding Rusong raised his eyes and said, "No?"

Wu Haining shook his head and said, "Just wait, it's only the eleventh day of the month, and the letter said it's mid-April, so it probably won't arrive until the fifteenth or sixteenth of the month."

Li Weijian did not return to Leting at this time. He had made an announcement before leaving. Since Fu Qiufang had seen the tenth day of the lunar month, he hurriedly sent Wu Haining and Ding Rushong to Tongzhou to wait.

The two of them lived near Zuixian Tower, and they could see the pier when they looked up. But when an official ship docks, one person will be sent over to check it out.

Ding Rusong smiled and said, "Then wait a few more days."

Wu Haining shook his head, took out a newspaper from his pocket, and read it as if he was about to read it. This boy was proud of Li Weijian's instructions and studied with Jia Lan every day. Although his handwriting was like an earthworm crawling, he could still read a newspaper even if he was just guessing.

After just a few glances, Wu Haining frowned with a "tsk" sound.

Ding Rushong said in awe: "What did the superiors say?"

Wu Haining put down the newspaper and thought for a moment before saying, "Second brother, do you still remember Jia Fuzun?"

"The one in Jinling?"

"That's right!" Wu Haining raised the newspaper in his hand and said, "I don't know who this person came from, but now he is on the job of the Minister of War."

Ding Rusong blinked and said, "Good guy, you can reach the sky in one step."

Wu Haining shook his head and sighed: "Being a serious Jinshi is different after all."

Ding Rusong was happy when he heard this: "Is it possible that you also want to pass the Jinshi examination?"

Wu Haining learned the Beijing accent and said: "Me? Grandma! That gentleman's lectures are like a heavenly book. Only Langeer and the master can understand them. I'd better go to the army in two years. I can't kill generals and seize them. Flag, meritorious deeds, and a wife."

Ding Rusong spat: "Bah, I see you are daydreaming all day long."

Wu Haining smiled and said: "Master said it right, this person has no dreams, how is he different from a salted fish?"

Suddenly he looked out the window and said, "Another official ship is coming."

Ding Rusong nodded, opened the bowl, and threw in two dice. Wu Haining hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, my luck is too bad today, why not change the dice."

Ding Rusong snorted and laughed: "What? You want to fool me again with lead-filled dice?"

Wu Haining said with a sneer: "How dare I do anything in front of my second brother? Look, the dice are guaranteed to be real."

After throwing two dice, he shook the tureen and opened it. Wu Haining was happy: "Hey, four, five, nine, this luck has indeed come."

Ding Rusong smiled and said nothing. He covered the bowl and shook it a few times. When he opened it, there were two six o'clock.

Wu Haining blinked, cursed and got up and went downstairs.

After a long while, Ding Rusong was wondering why he still didn't turn around. Suddenly, a boy came up the stairs quickly and said happily: "Second brother, fourth brother said he saw the old lady and asked you to come over quickly!"

"Oh?" Ding Rusong suddenly became energetic. He stood up and quickly went downstairs. He led seven or eight servants, pushed aside the people coming and going on the pier, and arrived at the pier in an instant.

A fourth-rank officer came off an official ship and was about to collide with Ding Rusong and others. Suddenly, a servant came forward and pulled the servant aside.

The boy said angrily: "Why should I let him? My master is the prefect of Changzhou!"

The young official was not worried and said with a smile: "Yes, your master is the prefect of Changzhou. Do you know who that person is?"

"What's the origin?"

"Second-class Jinglingbo, Doctor of the Military Academy, and the steward of Uncle Li's family."

The young man wanted to argue, but was stopped by his master behind him: "Come back now. It's okay if you are someone else. Uncle Jingling has a grudge against the elders of Jiangnan, so why not give in?"

Ding Rusong and others also knew the rules and hurriedly came forward to apologize and said: "I have offended the master. It is actually my master's aunt who arrived today. We were a little anxious and offended the master."

The Lord of the mansion stroked his beard and said, "No problem," and then said, "Come to Japan and I will pay a visit to Uncle Jingling."

Ding Rusong said: "This... I'm telling you the truth, my master rushed to Laoting on errands and never mentioned when he would return."

"It doesn't matter, I have to stay here for a month or two."

After respectfully accepting the prefect's name card, Ding Rusong rushed to the front. Wu Haining asked, "The old lady is really on the boat?"

Wu Haining pointed to the slowly moored official ship and said, "On that official ship, I just saw the two girls."

Everyone waited for a long time. When the sampan was set up, the porters first carried the luggage down, and then the people on the boat began to get off.

A few servants took the lead, followed by the maids who helped the two girls and two women get off the boat one by one. Wu Haining had sharp eyes and waved from afar: "Madam, girl, this way!" Liang and her widowed siblings got off the boat hand in hand. Seeing Wu Haining rushing forward, he immediately laughed: "You look like a monkey, why are you still so bad-tempered? I also said that I arrived early, and Brother Jian didn't have time to send someone."

Wu Haining smiled, led a group of servants to come forward to greet him, and then said: "Back to the old lady, I told you early in the morning that my aunt sent us to greet you yesterday. Coincidentally, the old lady arrived after only one day of waiting. .”

Ding Rusong also said: "Old madam, the pier is dirty and the carriage is waiting outside. Let's leave quickly."

Mrs. Liang agreed, turned to her siblings and said, "Look, Brother Jian is so thoughtful."

The woman smiled reservedly and said, "I have to trouble Brother Jian this time... I saw him being naughty when I was young, and I even scolded him. I feel a little embarrassed when I think about it."

Liang said angrily: "My nephew, Brother Jian, how can he remember this? Besides, not to mention you, I often scolded him. Are you still kissing me now?"

The woman smiled and nodded, saying nothing.

At that moment, everyone was waiting out of the pier. Four carriages were parked outside. Mrs. Liang was thinking about chatting on the way, so she took two carriages.

It was noon at this time, and the carriage was churning all the way, heading towards the capital. At first, he didn't feel it in Tongzhou. It was only when he got to the official level that Liang noticed the difference. He said curiously: "It's strange that this carriage doesn't bump."

Wu Haining, who was riding with him, came back and said with a smile: "Old madam, this is what I can do. It is said that the frame is made of spring steel for shock absorption, and latex tires are replaced, doesn't it stop bumping?"

Mrs. Liang lamented: "Ever since Brother Jian has known how to make progress, I knew that he would definitely have a future...but I didn't want him to be like this!"

No more words were said on the road. Near the end of the Shenshi period, the carriages and horses entered the inner city and turned onto Ningrong Street in a short while. A servant came galloping to report the news, because the central door of Jinglingbo's mansion was opened. Fu Qiufang led a group of concubines and servants on both sides. When the carriage and horses stopped, they bowed down and said: "I am Fu, Mrs. (Lin and others) have met the old lady."

Mrs. Liang got out of the car and saw that the mansion in front of her was vast and the leading woman was extremely quiet. She immediately stepped forward to help her with a happy face: "Get up quickly."

When everyone stood up, Mrs. Liang took a careful look at Fu Qiufang. She was indescribably satisfied and said with a smile, "No wonder Brother Jian accepted you first. It's really an IKEA room." As he spoke, he touched a button on his wrist. He came with a bracelet and put it on Fu Qiufang: "I have seen the first few girls, but you and Hongyu have not been seen."

Hongyu hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Old madam, I am Hongyu."

Seeing Hong Yu's cleverness, Mrs. Liang became more and more happy. She pulled the two of them and said, "Okay, okay." Then he took off another bracelet and put it on Hong Yu.

Seeing that there were passers-by everywhere, Fu Qiufang smiled and said, "Old madam, let's go inside and talk."

"it is good."

Immediately, the next group of people entered the gate and turned to the main house on the east road. Not to mention the placement and gatherings inside.

Let’s talk about Rongguo Mansion.

On this day, Wang Xifeng was chatting with Li Wan in the garden. Because of Li Weijian, the gap between the sisters-in-law was gone, and now they have a close relationship.

Just now I said it was a joke, but suddenly a mother-in-law came to report: "Two grandma, just now I saw a few carriages coming to Jinglingbo Mansion, and then the middle door opened, and Aunt Fu and others came out to welcome them."

"Oh?" Wang Xifeng was still thinking, but Li Wan stood up with joy: "Yes, mother must have arrived!"

Wang Xifeng suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Sure enough, Mr. Gong is here. Congratulations to my sister-in-law."

Li Wan was so happy that she didn't know what to do. She returned home only after she got married. Soon her father Li Shouzhong resigned and returned home. Apart from his brothers, he never saw his parents again in these years.

Because Li Wan was so happy that he was a little at a loss and couldn't help but look to the east.

Wang Xifeng said: "Sister-in-law, why don't you just go over and take a look?"

"This-" Li Wan hesitated. After all, she has become someone else’s daughter-in-law, so it’s hard to act as she pleases.

Wang Xifeng said: "Why are you so restrained? In the past, when my sister-in-law wanted to go, she would just go and see brother Jian. Now that Mr. Gong is here, why are you thinking so much? You can just go and I'll wait for you. Let’s talk to the old lady.”

Li Wan quickly thanked him, then led the maid and found Jia Lan and hurried to the next door. Wang Xifeng watched Li Wan go away, then got up and went to Jia Mu's courtyard to look for him.

At this time, the weather was getting hotter, and the screen in Rongqing Hall had already been removed. In the distance, Jia Mu was chatting and joking with Baoyu, Baochai, Sanchun and others. When Wang Xifeng entered, Jia Mu smiled and said, "I just mentioned your poor settlement. I didn't want to come here in a blink of an eye."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "I said it was so good that I sneezed several times in a row, and I said I caught a cold. It turned out that the old lady was talking about me."

"Haha... Look, isn't she just a rogue? If I tell her one thing, she has eight things waiting for me."

Wang Xifeng said a few words in anger, and then said: "Old lady, I just saw the door of brother Jian's house open outside. I think the old gentleman has arrived. My sister-in-law can't wait any longer, so I asked her to go and take a look first."

"Oh? Are you really here?"

Baoyu felt itchy hearing this and couldn't help but said: "Good sister, my sister-in-law said that her two cousins ​​are also traveling with her. Are they here this time?"

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "I've never seen it. People outside are talking about it, so how can I know?"

Baoyu hurriedly hugged Jia Mu's arm and said, "Ancestor, I think it's better to invite people to my home. There are so many houses on the left and right, and there are too many places to accommodate them."

Tanchun couldn't help but said: "Second Brother Bao, that's Brother Jian's aunt, aunt, and cousin. How could there be any reason for Brother Jian to come to our house instead of staying at home?"

Jia Mu patted Baoyu's arm lovingly and said, "You might as well be sensible, Tan Yatou. I'm so tired from traveling and traveling, so I hope to have a day's rest and come over tomorrow."

Baoyu suddenly became restless with joy and secretly wondered what kind of character Li Wan's two cousins ​​were.

After a long while, the maid of the uncle's house responded. Yuanyang brought the person in, but it was the ruby ​​from Rongguo Mansion.

After bowing down and seeing the gift, Hongyu said with a smile: "Old lady, my master's aunt Liang Gongren has just arrived at home. This person has just been settled after a long journey. My aunt sent me to tell you that I will come to visit the old lady tomorrow."

Jia Mu smiled and nodded: "I didn't make any excuses, but I went out of my way to say it. You go back and tell Brother Zhu's daughter-in-law that Brother Jian is not around, so why not stay in the uncle's house for a day and let them talk more?" say."

Hongyu agreed, resigned and left.

Wang Xifeng glanced around, Tanchun and Xichun were talking, Baoyu was so happy that the monkey seemed to be jumping up and down, Baochai was sitting quietly, sometimes echoing a few words to Xichun, but Yingchun... I don't know what to think of. What happened? His face turned red with embarrassment, and he became as restless as Baoyu.

Wang Xifeng couldn't help but joked: "Look at the second girl, why are you blushing now?"

Yingchun became more and more embarrassed and muttered: "I, I...it's just a little stuffy."

Tanchun secretly said with envy: "Second sister, my eldest sister-in-law said that Liang Gongren is the most generous. Second sister does not need to be so uneasy."

Yingchun couldn't bear to lose face, so she stood up and said she felt uncomfortable, so she hurriedly left.

Everyone laughed, but Jia Mu smiled reluctantly. Not to mention the difference between the concubine and the concubine, the second girl is too cowardly with her temperament, and I'm afraid she won't be able to get into the eyes of Mr. Liang.

With a shadow cast over her heart, Jia Mu suddenly lost interest and said, "You should disperse as well. You don't have to guard me."

Everyone agreed and immediately dispersed.

Seeing that Baoyu was still in a good situation, because he was still living in Mrs. Wang's room these days, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed, so he took the opportunity to go to Qixie Zhai to find someone to relieve his anger.

Sanchun and Baochai dispersed, and in a blink of an eye, everyone knew about Liang Gongren's arrival. In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Daiyu studied rouge with Wei Jianyu for a day, just so that she could make a handmade dress for Li Weijian one day.

She usually didn't like women's red because it inevitably caused more pinholes on her fingers. Wei Jianyu then advised: "Girl, there is no need to rush at this moment."

Daiyu laughed at herself and said: "Of course I know what my aunt said, but it's rare that I have such interest. Afterwards, I don't think I will even touch it."

Wei Jianyu smiled and said: "Girl's future does not depend on this female beauty. It would be great if she can embroider her wedding dress."

Daiyu's pretty face turned red at the words, but at this moment Xueyan came in happily and reported: "Girl, it's a happy event!"

Daiyu Nahan looked over, and Xueyan lowered her voice and said, "I just heard from Ying'er that Liang Gongren has arrived at the uncle's house just now. I heard that grandma has rushed there."

"Huh?" Daiyu was startled, and she couldn't help but have the desire of 'an ugly daughter-in-law meets her parents-in-law', and her face became increasingly red in an instant. He pursed his lips and didn't know what to do.

............................................................

Jinglingbo Mansion.

When the mother and daughter met, they hugged each other and cried, and then they cried and laughed, holding hands and talking.

Seeing that the two of them had calmed down a little, and seeing Jia Lan still standing aside with his hands tied, Mrs. Liang said: "Brother Lan, don't stay here anymore, go play with your two aunts."

Jia Lan happily agreed, turned around to look for Li Qi and Li Wen, and went to Huifang Garden for a stroll. The widowed Mrs. Liu, who was older than Mr. Liang, felt very tired at this time. After hearing that the courtyard had been tidied up behind her, she immediately got up and went to rest.

Li Wan and Liang were the only ones left in the main room, and Fu Qiufang and others also retreated. Then Mrs. Liang suddenly came to her senses and said with a smile: "We two are like doves occupying a magpie's nest."

Li Wan wiped his tears and said, "How can Brother Jian treat my mother? This is what my mother and I are like. If my mother gets angry, Brother Jian will be blamed later."

"Brother Jian... I don't know when he will come back."

At that moment, Li Wan asked about Li Shouzhong's situation and then asked his two brothers. He was relieved when he heard that they were all fine. Liang turned around and asked about Li Wan's situation.

Li Wan smiled and said, "What else can my daughter do? In the past, I only guarded Brother Lang, which was not interesting."

With her younger brother and sister Liu as a comparison, Liang knew that it was not easy to be a widow. He lamented: "It's a pity that Brother Zhu is not blessed."

Li Wan smiled bitterly and said, "It's better now. Thanks to Brother Jian's care, I split the shares with Brother Lan, and I can make a lot of money every year. He also found me a job as a teacher in the palace, and I work every day. I’m so busy, it’s easy to pass the day.”

Ms. Liang snorted coldly and said, "How do you think my mother-in-law treats you? Do you think I don't know?"

Li Wan had no other words to say except sighing.

Liang said: "Thanks to Brother Jian's help, your father is a Taoist scholar, otherwise he would take you back to Jinling no matter what."

Li Wan didn't say anything good about Mrs. Wang, only said: "The old lady still treats me well."

Liang said: "That's not the case. You think I will come to visit you tomorrow? All Rongguo Mansion can talk about now is the glory of our ancestors. If we really compare it, how can it be compared to Brother Jian?"

Li Wan didn't want to worry his mother, so he turned to him and said, "Mom, are you here because of brother Jian's marriage?"

Liang reached out and poked Li Wan between the eyebrows: "I knew I couldn't hide it from you." After a pause, he smiled and said: "Since brother Jian became an uncle, relatives and friends have come to visit, and everything he says is full of enthusiasm. Brother Jian. If you think about it, Brother Jian is now sixteen or seventeen, and he has reached the age to propose marriage.

I just found two suitable families, and I was thinking about Brother Jian and the second girl of the Jia family... I'm afraid that Brother Jian will really marry the second girl of the concubine. This is the wrong family, the wrong household, and the temperament is not suitable for the family. Brother Rijian said that he couldn't be dragged down by family affairs. "

Li Wan couldn't say what his sister-in-law was, so he said: "This... the second girl is a bit soft, but looking at it from the other side, she can be considered obedient."

Mr. Liang glared and said, "What's the point of just being obedient? How can a man not be lustful and lustful? If he just lets it go, won't Brother Jian be hurting his kidneys at his age? He is the only one left in the two houses in the capital. We need to find a girl who is sensible and can take charge of the family."

Li Wan mentioned Daiyu intentionally, but also thought that brother Jian and his mother must talk about this matter in person, so he agreed: "Mother is thinking about it as well."

Mrs. Liang added: "Your father heard that brother Jian had a close relationship with King Zhongyong, and that King Zhongyong had a daughter of the same age. He was afraid that brother Jian would become the son-in-law of that clan. Before leaving, he repeatedly asked, "What are you talking about?" I also need to persuade Brother Jian, it’s not easy to be the son-in-law of this clan!”

Li Wan blinked his eyes and suddenly wondered whether he should laugh or cry: "Where are you thinking, father? The prince is so attached to the princess's treasure that he can't even see his foreign husband. I heard from the princess that I met brother Jian once when he first came to Beijing, but never saw him again. Pass." After a pause, he added: "Besides, I don't think the princess has this intention either."

Liang asked a few more questions and immediately felt relieved: "That's good, that's good. In this way, it's easier to explain to others."

The couple talked for a while, and then Fu Qiufang came to invite them and held a banquet in the hall. Later, Hongyu replied and explained Jiamu's intention, so Li Wan half-heartedly refused to stay.

After dinner, the mother and daughter went to the small courtyard behind to talk privately. As evening approached, Jia Lan saw Li Wan on his left and Liang on his right.

When the lamp was turned on, the maid Suyun came over with a smile and said, "Grandma told Brother Lang to go home and live on his own."

Li Qi and Li Wen immediately laughed: "Poor Brother Lan, I just met my grandmother, and my mother doesn't feel any pain anymore."
