Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 254 Uncle Li’s Night Attack

That night, Liang and Li Wan, mother and daughter, sat together and talked about everything. Unconsciously, I said that I didn't go to bed until late at night, because I got up early, so it was a bit late.

After breakfast, when my sister-in-law Liu and her sisters Li Qi and Li Wen gathered together, it was already past midnight. Li Wan told the Rongguo Mansion at night that the rules were two meals at three o'clock every day, so it was a good time to come over for a visit.

Then Mrs. Liang said to Mrs. Liu, "Would you like to go with us?"

Mrs. Liu was quite cautious and said: "I feel uncomfortable living in Brother Jian's house. I will go to live in the old house in two days. I have no relatives in Rongguo Mansion, so I'd better go to my sister-in-law for a walk."

Mrs. Liang thought about it and said, "That's alright." In a blink of an eye, he saw Li Qi and Li Wen, who couldn't help but feel a little disappointed on their faces, so she smiled and said, "I heard that most of the girls from the Jia family are pretty, so why don't you let them come with me to have a look? It’s also like handing over multiple handkerchiefs.”

Mrs. Liu felt troubled and saw that her daughter was eager to give it a try, so she reluctantly agreed.

Fu Qiufang came in and replied, "Old madam, everything is ready. Tuyi asked the boy to carry it with him, and the old madam went straight to visit with my eldest sister."

Mrs. Liang also had mixed feelings in her heart, so she said: "That's fine, I'll leave early or late, but I have to go for it. Let's go."

At that moment, Fu Qiufang sent Hong Yu and Xiang Ling to accompany them, and together with Liang, Li Wen and Li Qi, they boarded the sedan near Yimen. They walked out of the mansion from the middle gate and headed towards Rongguo Mansion.

Li Wan sent Biyue a message early in the morning and arrived in front of Rongguo Mansion in a blink of an eye.

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

But he said that everyone in the Rongguo Mansion was busy that day. Although Liang was only a fourth-grade respectful person, there was a saying that mother is more valuable than her son. So Li Weijian treated Liang like his biological mother, from Jia Mu to Wang Xifeng. Dare to neglect.

Yesterday, they tidied up in the afternoon, and when they got up early in the morning, they sent servants to wash the door and the road with water. The girls were all dressed up carefully. Although the precious jade was wearing a scalded face, it was also dressed up like a peacock spreading its tail.

After breakfast, they all gathered in Rongqing Hall. Baoyu jumped up and down again, scratching his ears and cheeks with joy.

The little girl Tanchun smiled as she watched Baoyu play with her treasures. She looked around and suddenly saw her second sister and Daiyu both wearing makeup.

Daiyu's upper body is made of light gold and peach red flowers, with a cinnabar middle coat underneath, and a pink horse-faced skirt on the lower body; looking at the second sister to welcome the spring, the upper body is a pea green satin folded branch Yingchun embroidery with lapis lazuli trimmed round collar robe, and the inner part is White cross-collar jacket and beige pleated skirt.

Tanchun then asked in a low voice, "Why is Sister Lin so solemn today?"

Why else? Brother Jian once said that his eldest aunt Liang had raised him, and she wanted to leave a good impression when meeting her for the first time.

Thinking like this in my heart, I felt a little warm in my ears, but how could Daiyu have the temperament to suffer from her words? He immediately smiled and said, "Third sister still talks about me, so you don't do the same?"

"Huh?" Tan Chun felt embarrassed. Although I didn't dare to hope too much, I got up early to dress up, and Tanchun was still very serious about it. At this time, I wore a round-neck robe with pink, pink and white phoenix tail patterns on the upper body, and a white collared brown horse-faced skirt. This set of clothes was new for my birthday this year, and I had never worn them even on the day I gave birth to my son.

Tanchun's mind changed quickly and he smiled and said, "I've grown taller again. I've been looking around for it, but isn't this the only one left?"

Daiyu said obliquely: "Third sister said this as if I have lost my stature."

Only the little girl Xichun frowned and muttered: "If I had known that my sisters would be so solemn, I would be the same as a new born baby."

Daiyu and Tanchun immediately started giggling.

At this time, Jia Mu could not bear the entanglement of Baoyu, so she sent Yuanyang: "Go ahead and have a look. It's almost time, why haven't you come yet?"

Yuanyang agreed and was about to turn around to explore when suddenly a woman walked in happily and said, "Old lady, eldest lady, madam, Second Grandma sent word that Liang Gongren has arrived."

"Oh?"

Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang quickly stood up and said, "Old lady, let's go and greet you."

"Go quickly, go quickly."

At that moment, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang led Sanchun, Daiyu, Baoyu and Baochai, as well as the maids and women, and walked forward chattering.

At this moment, Wang Xifeng was waiting in the south hall. The sedan just came out of the uncle's house, and Wang Xifeng got the message. Since all the people coming this time were female relatives, it was not easy for Jia Lian to greet them, so the job fell on the second grandmother, Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng immediately came out of Deyimen to greet him.

Because of Li Weijian, the central gate of the Rongguo Mansion was opened wide, and General Lai, the general manager, welcomed him in with four sedan chairs and saluted all the way to the ceremonial gate before leaving.

Hongyu hurriedly ordered the maids to open the sedan curtain. First came Liang, followed by Li Wan, Li Qi, and Li Wen.

Wang Xifeng led Ping'er and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Greetings, Mr. Gong."

Li Wan hurriedly supported Mrs. Liang and said, "Mother, this is my sister-in-law. Her maiden name is Wang. We all call her Brother Feng."

Mrs. Liang smiled and said: "You look like she is refreshing. This girl is good."

Wang Xifeng blushed at the praise and said with a smile: "Look what Gongren said, I am already this old, how can I still be considered a daughter?"

Mrs. Liang said: "How talented you are, don't you look like a daughter to me?"

After talking and laughing, Wang Xifeng met Li Qi and Li Wen again, and hurriedly let the group of others into the Yimen. As soon as I entered the Deyi Gate, I ran into Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and others.

Mrs. Liang was extremely disgusted with Mrs. Wang, but she still kept a smile on her face. She met Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, and led her two nieces to come forward to greet them.

Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang praised a few words and turned to call Baoyu, only to see Baoyu hiding among the sisters in a daze, staring straight at Li Wen and Li Qi.

In Baoyu's eyes, he saw two girls walking towards each other. They were about the same size and shape. Even their faces were almost similar, like a pair of lotuses tied side by side. After careful observation, I saw that the two of them spoke and acted appropriately, and their movements could not hide the aura of the scroll. Baoyu was even more delighted.

At this moment, I was secretly thinking, it would be great if a girl like this could live in Grand View Garden.

Mrs. Wang called her several times, but seeing that Baoyu was still indifferent, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Li Wen and Li Qi looked over and saw the naughty boy with half of his face burned looking at them in a trance.

Li Wen was a bit cold-tempered and could not help but frown secretly; Li Qi was a bit more cheerful and couldn't help laughing when she saw this, and said to Li Wen in a low voice: "What kind of young master was born with a jade in his mouth? I think he is an idiot!"

As soon as he said this, Li Wen couldn't help but hide his face and smile.

Mrs. Wang said to Mr. Liang in shock: "My dear, please forgive me, my son is the most evil of all. He usually has a devil-like temperament, but now his soul has flown to nowhere!"

Baochai hurriedly came over quietly, gently pushed Baoyu's back, and whispered: "I'm calling you."

Baoyu staggered a step, then came to his senses, hurriedly came to Mrs. Wang, hurriedly greeted Mrs. Liang, turned around and stared at the two sisters again.

Wang Xifeng, who was on the side, saw that it was really shameful, so she said: "I see people are recognizing each other like this. It will be dark when the recognition is complete. Madam, madam, why don't you ask me to come and see the old lady?"

Mrs. Xing smiled and nodded: "This is the right thing. Mother, let's go now?"

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng looked at him sideways, Yingchun was too embarrassed to see anyone, and Mrs. Liang's face became stiff.

"Okay, okay." She said in reply, feeling disgusted in her heart. It was rare that she agreed with Li Shouzhong for once.

Li Wan vaguely mentioned in the letters that this eldest lady came from a small family and was not very alert. Mrs. Liang never expected that Mrs. Xing would be so confused!
Because I couldn't help but feel happy that Li Shouzhong sternly rejected the marriage between brother Jian and the second girl, and even then he called him his 'mother-in-law'. If they were to get married, who knows how many jokes would be caused!

Mrs. Xing had another thought in her mind.

The elder Jia She suffered a stroke for a long time, and he was constantly receiving acupuncture and decoction at home every day. Perhaps the doctor Wang really had the right treatment. Now, although the elder Jia She is paralyzed and unable to get out of bed, he can still speak vaguely.

Yesterday, I heard that Mr. Liang had arrived in the capital. Jia She spoke vaguely for a long time before Mrs. Xing understood what he meant. He was just taking this opportunity to finalize the marriage between the second girl and Li Weijian.

Mrs. Xing was very happy. Ever since the eldest master became paralyzed, Mrs. Xing had been anxious and uneasy. She was afraid that one day the eldest master Jia She would leave and she would not find herself in trouble. If you get Li Weijian, a son-in-law who rides the dragon, no matter whether it is Mrs. Wang or Sister Feng, you should not be too harsh on her.

Everyone was thinking, talking and laughing. Wang Xifeng pointed out the scenery along the way, passed the hanging flower gate, and entered the Rongqing Hall in a blink of an eye.

Sister Feng took the first step and said with a smile: "Old lady, Liang Gongren is here, and there are two girls with jade and gold looks. The old lady will be happy to see them!"

At that moment, Yuanyang helped Jia Mu stand up to greet her. Mrs. Liang followed Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang into the interior. She smiled and bowed to Jia Mu: "Old lady, I'll give you my regards in this compartment."

"An, An, please get up quickly." Jia Mu said with a smile on her face, "We haven't seen you for a few years, but I still look like you are the same as before."

Mrs. Liang said: "The old lady is the one. Now, it can be said that she has a childlike appearance, and she has really become an old fairy."

"Hahaha, don't hold your tongue. Brother Feng, please take a seat quickly."

At that moment, Mrs. Liang led Li Wen and Li Qi forward to see the gift. Mother Jia was really overjoyed when she saw the two girls, who were like lotus flowers. She hurriedly called the mandarin ducks to find two kinds of noodles from his box and gave them to the two girls as a meeting gift.

Afterwards, the younger generation came up one by one to recognize people and pay tribute. The first one was Baoyu. Mrs. Liang praised it casually but didn't care at all.

So what if he was born with a jade in his mouth? Maybe better than my own brother Jian? Moreover, this Baoyu has a bad temper. If he had been born under his knees, he would have been beaten to death by his master Li Shouzhong!

After Baoyu passed by, Wang Xifeng took Yingchun and introduced her: "Gongren, this is Yingchun, the second girl in the family."

Yingchun felt uneasy in her heart. She bowed down cautiously and said, "I've seen Mr. Gong."

Mrs. Liang concentrated her mind and looked carefully, and saw that this woman had a peach blossom face and a plump figure. She looked slightly older than others, so she asked, "How old are you?"

Yingchun was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak, so Wang Xifeng said: "I just passed my seventeenth birthday."

Mrs. Xing on the side said quickly: "It's time to become a calligrapher."

Mrs. Liang smiled and nodded, but did not agree aloud. At the moment, she only handed over the maid as a gift.

Seeing this, Mother Jia was secretly annoyed that Mrs.

Mrs. Liang joked: "What the old lady said is that they are all the flesh and blood that fell from her own body. This word means that the flesh and bones of a person are separated, and I feel very sad when I think about it. If you live comfortably in your husband's house, that's fine. If you don't feel comfortable, that's it. , thinking about it in my heart, I’m afraid it won’t be easy either.”

Although Mrs. Wang smiled apologetically on her face, she didn't know in her heart that this statement was aimed at her? However, today, because of Li Weijian, no matter how different the Liang family's status is, only the old lady can suppress the whole family.

Jia Mu understood what he said, but it was difficult to refute it. Although she was very proud of her grandson-in-law Li Wan, how could Mother Jia not know what kind of life Li Wan had lived before? Because he could only vaguely agree twice, it was considered as exposing the matter.

Yingchun bowed her head and quietly withdrew, and met with Li Wen and Li Qi at the side. Before returning, Wang Xifeng hurriedly invited three girls, Tanchun, to come to see the gift.

Tanchun was youthful and lively, with a refreshing and heroic spirit between his brows. He stepped forward and greeted him generously, and Mrs. Liang was overjoyed when she saw it.

He smiled and said, "This girl seems to have a good life and a kind face."

Tan Chun was overjoyed and blurted out: "I see that Mr. Gong has a kind face." After saying this, she immediately regretted it, but saw Mrs. Liang pulling her and praising her: "Good, it shows that we two are destined to be together." She turned around. Then he said to Jia Mu: "Seeing these three girls, it's like looking into a mirror. They are no different from my temperament before I left the palace."

Jia Mu also said: "Don't say she is a respectful person. This girl is smarter and stronger. Even the old woman makes me very proud of her."

Although Mr. Liang liked to explore Chun's temperament, he didn't know how to stay long. After saying a few words, he immediately let him meet Li Wen and Li Qi.

Because Xichun was still young, although Xichun's temperament had become much more cheerful since the incident with the Ningguo family, he was still a little cold, because Liang only praised her slightly and didn't mention it.

In a blink of an eye, Wang Xifeng led Daiyu forward again and said, "Gongren, this is the old lady's granddaughter, her name is Daiyu."

Although Daiyu was shy and uneasy at heart, she behaved gracefully and bowed down, saying in a voice like an oriole: "I've seen Mr. Gong."

Mrs. Liang saw that Daiyu was "like a delicate flower shining in the water when she is quiet, and like a weak willow supporting the wind". She also learned that she was Lin Ruhai, an orphan girl, and she couldn't help but feel pity for her. He praised: "Miss Lin is smart inside and beautiful outside. She is like a fairy who gave birth to her child. I don't know who in this world is worthy of her."

Saying this, Mrs. Liang felt regretful. It's a pity that Miss Lin is still in her filial piety period, otherwise she and Brother Jian would be a good match.

Daiyu blushed and said, "Young people are so complimentary. How can I be as good as you say?" She felt shy but also secretly happy.

Mrs. Liang ordered the maid to present the gift and said, "I will not tell lies in front of the old lady."

Jia Mu immediately smiled and said, "I don't know, my dearest, but I am most proud of this granddaughter."

Wang Xifeng also joined in the fun and said: "Ever since Sister Lin came to the house, the old lady has always regarded her as the apple of her eye. She held it in her hand for fear of falling, and held it in her mouth for fear of melting. Hey, she can make us our wives. My envy is broken."

Everyone laughed again. When Daiyu retreated, Baochai came forward again. When Mrs. Liang saw her red lips and white teeth and twitching eyes, she couldn't help but secretly thought to herself. It's no wonder that Brother Jian has always been involved in Rongguo Mansion. The girl in this mansion is really a real person. Outstanding.

Having just met Daiyu, she was already astonished, and now here comes another girl who is not much different from Daiyu.

After Wang Xifeng introduced her, Mrs. Liang saw that Baochai vaguely resembled Fu Qiufang's character, and couldn't help but praise: "This girl looks like an IKEA person who can live up to her standards and has a good sense of things."

Mrs. Wang's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she hurriedly said: "What my mother-in-law said is that my niece is a rare talent, and I couldn't bear to force her to stay for a long time just now."

Jia Mu heard the words but did not agree. She just smiled and said nothing. In the past, Wang Xifeng would have always wanted to help with a few words, but now there is a gap between the aunt and nephew, and Wang Xifeng has always disliked Aunt Xue and Baochai, so how can she be willing to help them now?

Because Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Finally I recognized her, old lady, I saw their little sisters were making out. The scenery in the garden is quite beautiful. Why not let them go to the garden together, so that the old lady can be with Gong Gong." Are you talking?"

Jia Mu nodded in agreement, and Wang Xifeng immediately led Yingying Yanyan to the Grand View Garden. The precious jade didn't have any consciousness at all, but it just disappeared along with it!
Mr. Liang was stunned! Looking at the thirteen or fourteen-year-old Baoyu, he feared that he had already known about the person's affairs. He had just looked directly at Li Wen and Li Qi before, but now he also followed them into the garden... What's going on?
Looking at the rest of the people in the hall, whether it was Jia Mu or Mrs. Wang, they all turned a blind eye. Mr. Liang couldn't help but feel contempt in his heart. Everyone thought that he was a family with great food, but who would have thought that he could be so rude!
Thinking about her daughter and grandson, Mrs. Liang held back her anger.

At this time, Jia's mother asked about Li Shouzhong's situation. Mrs. Liang came to her senses and answered them one by one, but her interest dropped a bit.

Let's not talk about the situation inside Rongqing Hall, but when a group of people entered the Grand View Garden, the jade and treasure man seemed to run to the front, pointing out the scenery one by one.

When they turned to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Baoyu pointed out: "This is the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and Sister Lin lives here." As he spoke, he shook his folding fan and said, "Only a person like Sister Lin, who is like the Xiaoxiang concubine, can do this." It’s a good place to live.”

Daiyu didn't answer, Baochai smiled quietly, Sanchun joked with Baoyu one after another, sisters Li Wen and Li Qi looked at each other, Li Wen was aloof and aloof, and Li Qi said: "What Concubine Xiaoxiang said But there are only Ehuang, Nvying, and Miss Lin, so maybe one of them will be forced in to form a couple in the future?"

Baoyu was in high spirits at this moment and was quite quick-witted. He shook his head and said, "Otherwise, Sister Lin has the beauty of Ehuang and Nvying, so why would she need to get married with someone else?"

Daiyu couldn't help but said angrily: "Brother Bao, don't make fun of me again. Although I have some color, I don't have the virtues of both. How can I dare to have both?"

Baoyu nodded and said: "It makes sense -" and then looked at Li Qi and Li Wen on a whim: " - Otherwise, if the two sisters also live in it, wouldn't they also have such virtues?" Li Wen was secretly annoyed, and Li Qi smiled. Then he said: "Brother Bao is so strange. Our sisters are also living in the uncle's house. Why do we want to live in your home?" After a pause, he said with a smile: "Besides, Second Master Bao is older than me. , please note that there are some taboos, it is not good to hang out with sisters at home every day."

Baoyu, who was secretly proud of himself, felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his pocket. He was dazed for a moment and said angrily: "I am a pure and innocent daughter, but I don't want to be tainted by the common people!" After saying that, he left everyone and turned around. Then ran.

At this time, Wang Xifeng went to arrange a banquet and was not nearby. Sanchun called out loudly, but Baoyu didn't stop, so Xichun said: "Go and follow me quickly, lest Brother Bao gets confused again."

Tanchun turned to look at Baochai: "Sister Baochai, hurry up and chase her."

Baochai knew that when Baoyu lost his temper, he was afraid that no one could persuade him, so he said: "How could he ever listen to my words? If you ask me, it is better to chase Sister Lin. Baoyu will definitely listen to her words." Get in."

Seeing everyone looking at her, Daiyu frowned and said: "Sister Bao's words are so unreasonable. What does it have to do with me if he is angry with himself?" After a pause, he smiled sideways and said: "Let me see, who should do it?" Who should go if you have a good match? Hehehe..."

Baochai's thoughts were revealed by a word, and she immediately blushed with embarrassment, and immediately came forward to catch up: "Okay, let's see if I don't treat you well today!"

Daiyu walked around Sanchun with a smile, and said with a smile as she ran: "Good sister, please forgive me this time!"

Baochai refused to comply, but he was overjoyed at first: Daiyu really had no interest in Baoyu anymore! Then there was confusion. Could it be that Daiyu and Fourth Brother Jian were together?
It doesn't seem to be the case. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Liang Gongren came here for the marriage of fourth brother Jian. Although they were full of admiration when they saw each other just now, Liang Gongren also praised Tanchun and himself, so it could not be said that he had a special favor for Daiyu. Sister Bao was hesitant for a moment. She not only wanted to chase Baoyu, but also wanted to stay and inquire with Li Wen and Li Qi. Could it be that if she found out Liang Gongren's preferences, she would be able to leap over the dragon's gate?

Then Sister Bao thought about it again, as the saying goes, "Ten birds in the forest are worse than one in the hand", so she chased Daiyu and laughed and made noise for a while, but finally left everyone and went to chase Baoyu.

Daiyu and Sanchun looked at Li Qi and Li Wen at this time, only to see her elder sister Li Wen scolding her younger sister Li Qi: "You talk too much. How can you ever anger the host by being a guest?"

Li Qi argued: "Did I say it wrong? Our sisters live happily in a girl's house, but he is like a cat or a dog. He looks happy and wants to stuff it into the house. Why? Besides, I didn't say it wrong. .”

Li Wen pretended to be annoyed and said, "How dare you talk back? I'll tell my mother later and let her discipline you."

Li Qi suddenly pouted.

These words seemed to be scolding, but in fact, Li Wen used Li Qi's mouth to block everyone's mouth. The two sisters have an indomitable brother who looks after them, so they naturally look down on Baoyu who doesn't know how to look, not to mention etiquette and avoidance of taboos.

In the minds of the two of them, the precious jade is nothing more than a dandy's work that cannot be lifted by hand or carried on the shoulder. How can it be compared with Fourth Brother Jian?

Hearing this, Sanchun and Daiyu were both speechless. If this statement was a lie, one could still argue with it, but if the other person told the truth, it would be impossible to argue with it.

Tanchun then said: "Brother Bao has such a temper, let him go. Ahead is Ziling Island, where the second sister lives. Let's go and have a look."

The girls continued to stroll around the Grand View Garden, and an hour passed before they knew it. At this time, the past was talked about in Rongqing Hall, and the present was talked about.

Mrs. Liang then smiled and said: "To be fair to the old lady, I came all the way to the capital this time, firstly to see my daughter and grandson, and secondly because Brother Jian created such a family business and went to Qinghai last year. Once. Although the elders must be happy that Brother Jian is making progress, he can't help but feel anxious and really uneasy.

It so happened that my husband had been feeling well recently, so I had time to go to the capital. "

Jia Mu sighed and said: "It goes without saying that Brother Jian, there is no one more reliable than him. When the old prince was here, when did he go on an expedition, the whole family was not worried?"

After hearing this, Mrs.

How could Mrs. Liang be willing to spit? He just shook his head and smiled and said: "You can't help your mother when you grow up, let alone me as an aunt? To be honest with the old lady, since Brother Jian has made a career, there have been matchmakers in the old house for three to five days. My husband is a self-proclaimed noble man, this I don't like it, I don't like that one... Hey, I can't say, Brother Jian's marriage will have to be postponed for a few years."

Mrs. However, at this time, Jia's mother was talking about children with Mrs. Liang again. Mrs. Xing could not say anything for a while, so she could only feel anxious.

After a while, the maid Yuanyang came in and reported: "Old lady, Second Grandma sent word that the banquet is ready."

At this time, when she saw noon, Jia Mu smiled and said: "My lord is coming from afar, and I have prepared some wine at home to wash away the dust. It's not easy for my lord to refuse."

Mrs. Liang smiled and said, "Now that the old lady said that? I have no choice but to be respectful and obey orders."

At that moment, the mother-in-law and maidservant brought the table and table. Sanchun, Daiyu, and sisters Li Wen and Li Qi who were visiting the garden returned together, but Baoyu and Baochai were missing.

Mrs. Wang was puzzled, so Tanchun leaned over and whispered a few words. Hearing that Baoyu had lost face again, Mrs. Wang suddenly felt ashamed. Tanchun didn't say the reason. Mrs. Wang thought that eight out of ten times in the past it was because of Daiyu, and she suddenly felt secretly resentful.

Immediately, the dishes were served like water, and the twelve little actors raised in Lixiangyuan were invited to sing songs for fun. Not to mention the general enjoyment during the dinner.

This banquet lasted from noon to Shenshi. Liang drank a few more glasses, served tea after the table was removed, and chatted with Jia Mu for a while. Seeing that it was already getting late, she led the Li Wen and Li Qi said goodbye.

Jia Mu said, "Gongren lives next door. From now on, if we have free time to come and go, we should chat with my old lady."

Mrs. Liang agreed with a smile and was immediately sent away by Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang. Arriving in front of the ceremony gate, Mrs. Xing no longer cared about Mrs. Wang who was standing aside, and said, "How free are you, Mr. Gong, these days? I also want to entertain Mr. Gong."

These words made Mrs. Wang speechless for a while. When her mother-in-law came to visit her, she didn't offer any words of hospitality, but her sister-in-law got there first.

Mrs. Xing seemed to know that something was wrong, and quickly added: "Hey, I didn't mean to compete with my wife for the host, but I really have something to discuss with Mr. Gong."

Mrs. Liang had just seen the second girl Yingchun and decided that she was not a matron. At this moment, Li Weijian had not returned yet, and Mrs. Liang was thinking that if brother Jian came back, the matter would continue to go on, so it would be better if she stepped in to cut the trouble quickly. So he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll bother you again tomorrow."

When Mrs. Xing saw his response, she immediately beamed with joy.

On this day, the two mansions were noisy. Mrs. Wang wanted to teach Baoyu, but when she came to her, she saw the burns on Baoyu's face. She couldn't bear it and could no longer say the words of admonishment. Li Wen and Li Qi returned to the uncle's mansion. , and told the Liang family and Liu family about the dispute. Mrs. Liang was not surprised, but Mrs. Liu frowned.

She brought her two daughters to the capital this time because her daughters were old enough to find a good family. There is always some wealth after meritorious deeds in this Dao, and you are freed from the pain of running around for rice and food all day long, but unexpectedly, the noble disciples are so incompetent!

If the two daughters are indeed married off, there is no telling how much hardship they will suffer in the future. Because it was Mrs. Liu, she changed her mind slightly.

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

After all, Li Weijian still had not returned.

Mrs. Liang sent the servants in the mansion to send greeting cards to the two families early in the morning, and then went to the Rongguo Mansion for the banquet in the afternoon. Shen Chu went there, and Shen Mo returned to the uncle's house, apparently parting on bad terms.

When Fu Qiufang and other concubines did not dare to speak, sister-in-law Liu said: "Sister-in-law, is there something wrong with this? I must have discussed it with Brother Jian..."

Mrs. Liang said categorically: "It's time to break it off. Not to mention family background, just based on their character, those two girls are not a good match. Brother Jian is back, and it's up to me to tell the difference. He just doesn't recognize me as his eldest aunt. I admit it too."

After the words fell, Qingwen came in to report that Li Wan was here.

After a moment, Li Wan came in hurriedly with a frown on his face. Before he could sit down, he asked, "Did mother have a falling out with Dafang just now?"

Mrs. Liang sneered and said: "It's just a falling out! That Mrs. Xing is so unreasonable, as if she decided that Brother Jian is not the second girl and doesn't want to marry him, so she asked for a bride price. She really doesn't know what to say!"

"This……"

Seeing the dilemma on Li Wan's face, Liang said: "What are you afraid of? If your brother is so capable, if the Rongguo government dares to use you as a raft, I will ask Brother Jian to take you home to avoid this abuse." Angry!"

Li Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said: "Mother is too worried. How could I ever only think about myself? I am——"

Some words were not meant for outsiders to hear. Seeing Li Wan glance at her vaguely, Mrs. Liu immediately understood and immediately led Li Wen and Li Qi to stay away.

When only the mother and daughter were left, Li Wan finally revealed the story of Li Weijian, Daiyu, Yingchun, and even their marriage.

Mrs. Liang was surprised for a long time: "Why haven't you heard Brother Jian mention this?"

Li Wan said: "It was only decided when we passed through Yangzhou on our way back. Even Brother Jian has never read the letter. Who would have thought that Brother Jian's mentor would have such a plan?"

Mrs. Liang thought for a while and said firmly: "Even so, those two girls are not a good match. They are also legitimate children. If the mistress of the house has such a temper, won't the family be in chaos? Don't say that your father disapproves, even if I I can’t even pass this level.”

Li Wan could only sigh. I secretly thought that Brother Jian had originally planned to marry Daiyu and Yingchun together. With Daiyu in charge, Yingchun would just be a decoration. Now that my mother has intervened, it's hard to say what will happen next... I don't know what happened to the second girl when she heard about it.

But Mr. Liang didn't care about the welcome to the spring, and suddenly said happily: "Brother Jian really has good taste, and I think Miss Lin is a good one. It's a pity that she is a little weak."

Li Wan agreed, not daring to stay any longer for fear that the second girl would get distracted and cause trouble again. Because he quickly got up and left.

She returned all the way to the Grand View Garden and stopped briefly near Dezhujin Tower, where she heard faint sobs and voices of persuasion. I expected that the second girl had received news about the Spring Festival, but fortunately there were still others watching over her. Secretly thinking that nothing would happen to Yingchun for a while, Li Wan returned to Daoxiang Village.

The matter involved marriage, and Daiyu was confused because she couldn't persuade her. Baochai was still at Mrs. Wang's house at this time, but Li Wan avoided it again, because he only came to persuade Tanchun and Xichun.

Xichun is still young, so she talks to her second sister to welcome the spring. Although Tanchun is also trying to persuade her, she has mixed feelings in her heart. Although I shouldn't have extravagant expectations, I also thought that if Liang Gongren clearly rejected the second sister this time, then I...

Si Qi and Xiu Ju were also persuaded. Not to mention what Xiu Ju was thinking, Si Qi was thinking that if the matter between the second girl and Fourth Master Jian really fell through, could he find an excuse and simply be kicked out? Going out of the house? In this way, there is no need to guard the second girl who looks like a piece of wood anymore.

As for the second girl welcoming the Spring Festival, I won't mention her heartbreak, but she still has some thoughts in her heart. In her mind, Li Weijian was extremely capable. Since he had said that he would handle the matter, she had to listen to what he had to say. After crying for a while, the second girl stopped crying, persuaded Tanchun and Xichun to leave, and then curled up alone on the bed and read Li Weijian.

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

But it was said that it was dark that day, and Li Weijian had just entered the capital. All the way back to my home, I heard that my eldest aunt and others had arrived at home just after I entered the door, and I was immediately overjoyed.

Immediately without changing his robe, he happily went to visit Mr. Liang in the back.

It was already dark at this time, so it was naturally difficult to visit the small courtyard where the widowed aunt Liu and her two cousins ​​lived, so Li Weijian only went to Liang's courtyard.

When the two met, Li Weijian bowed and paid homage. Liang quickly picked it up, looked at it for a few times, and said happily: "It's taller and stronger. Good, good, good."

Li Weijian laughed and said, "Otherwise, how could my nephew dare to join the army?"

Liang immediately said with a bluff, "You are so brave! How can you be easy to deal with when the soldiers are in danger and in danger? That is to say, you are so lucky. If the war is unfavorable, how do you want me to explain to your parents? "

Li Weijian said with a smile: "Never again, aunt, don't talk about it anymore."

Mrs. Liang reached out and poked Li Weijian in the forehead angrily: "You are already an uncle, why are you still so out of shape?"

Li Weijian said: "You keep tensing up in front of me. Isn't that unfilial?"

Liang was immediately amused. The two of them chatted briefly and then talked about the past two days. Liang then revealed the banquet hosted by Mrs.

Then he frowned and said: "——In my opinion, not only are those two girls not a good match, but their biological father and stepmother are not good either. I veto this marriage for you. Even if you are separated from me, it doesn't matter!"

"Ah?" Li Weijian was immediately dumbfounded and said, "Auntie, all you have to do is delay, why bother to refuse in person?"

Liang said: "If you have created such a family fortune at a loss, don't you think it's better to stop and suffer the consequences?"

"This..." This is the aunt who raised him. What could Li Weijian say? He originally thought of delaying it for another year or two, waiting for the Rongguo Mansion to fall, and then taking the opportunity to bring Yingchun into his family. Unexpectedly, the eldest aunt exposed the matter, but it was not easy to change.

Seeing that his mind was not in his right mind, Mrs. Liang said: "That's all, you just came back. You are so tired from the journey, go and have some rest first. Let's talk about anything you have to say tomorrow."

Li Weijian agreed, stood up and left.

Returning to the main courtyard on the east road, Concubine Ji and others came to greet him and helped him bathe and change clothes. At first, Li Weijian was still thinking that he was afraid that his second sister would not be able to think about the Spring Festival. Somehow, thinking about it turned into worrying about Daiyu.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Li Weijian couldn't hold himself any longer, so he got up and walked out.

Fu Qiufang hurriedly asked: "Where are you going, Master?"

"I'm a little bored. I'll take a walk and I'll be back in a while."

Leaving behind Fu Qiufang and others who were looking at each other in disbelief, Li Weijian walked all the way into Huifang Garden and arrived at the east corner gate of Grand View Garden in a blink of an eye.

At this moment, Li Weijian was in trouble again. He had never met Siqi this time, and he didn't know whether he had reached an agreement with Qin Xian's family.

At this moment, a female voice suddenly came from behind the door: "Yes, is it Uncle Li?"

"Yeah." Li Weijian responded in a muffled voice.

Immediately, there was a creaking sound, and the corner door was half opened, and a woman's figure poked out from inside, holding a lantern in her hand. She belonged to Qin Xian's family.

The two looked at each other, and Qin Xianjia muttered: "Uncle... but you want to go for a walk?"

Li Weijian felt at ease, guessing that Siqi had reached an agreement with Qin Xian's family.

He came closer and smiled: "Is it convenient to carve it? I'll find someone to talk to and then leave." As he spoke, he shook his sleeves and stuffed a fifty-tael silver barley.

Qin Xian's family was so excited that he immediately said, "Convenient!" He then lowered his voice and said, "Uncle, just walk close to the corner. It will be half an hour before my wife comes to visit, so I avoided it." , it will take another hour next time."

As he spoke, he opened the corner door and allowed Li Weijian to step in. He then walked forward to investigate for Li Weijian, and then urged Li Weijian to enter the Grand View Garden.

Li Weijian walked quickly, and the lights in each residence in the garden were bright, but the rest was empty. He expected that those maids and women would have found a place to drink and play cards, which was convenient for him.

After crossing Cuiyan Bridge in a moment, Xiaoxiang Pavilion was in front of him. Li Weijian gritted his teeth and quickly climbed up the hillside. He saw the constant shouting and shouting in the teahouse below, and expected that the maids and women must be gathering here to gamble.

Now I walked around the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, climbed over the stone wall, and reached the side window. Under the gauze curtain, I could vaguely catch a glimpse of the beautiful figure sitting inside.

Li Weijian reached out and knocked lightly on the window lattice. Suddenly he heard a "croak" sound, and then a parrot called out: "Snow Goose, lift the curtain quickly, the girl is here!"

The beautiful figure inside turned her head and said "naughty", but did not get up. When Li Weijian heard the voice, his heart suddenly surged with thoughts, and he immediately knocked on the window lattice.

"Huh?" The silhouette stood up, walked to the bed, opened the gauze curtain slightly, and met Li Weijian's eyes.

Daiyu hid her mouth and was startled, quickly turned her head and took a look, then opened the window and whispered: "Why is Fourth Brother Jian here?"

Li Weijian smiled and said softly: "I miss my sister."

Daiyu bit her lip and murmured, then looked outside again, then opened the window and waved her hand: "Come in quickly!"
