Travel to ancient times and make a fortune

Chapter 176

The two met again after a long absence and chatted a lot while sitting in the elegant room of the teahouse.

About some of Li Xiao's daily life after arriving in the capital, and about some of the complicated relationships in Hu Die's family.

There seemed to be many differences, but during the chat, they could feel that the friendship between the two had not changed due to external factors such as time and family background.

"It's really great to meet you. It just so happened that my parents and third brother went to my future third sister-in-law's house to propose marriage. I will introduce you to each other in the future. My future third sister-in-law wants to come to visit Sister Hu Die. If you see it, you will definitely like it!" Li Xiao said with a smile.

To be honest, Hu Die is actually more than a month older than Min Shulan.

"Brother Li is getting married? So soon?" Hu Die was still a little surprised, "I thought that at least your second brother should get married first!"

"Why not the eldest brother?" Li Xiao was curious.

"Brother Li, the eldest brother only sees books and can't see women except Aunt Li and you." Hu Die curled his lips and said.

"I bet that Brother Li will be the last one among you brothers and sisters to get married!" Hu Die said confidently.

When Li Xiao heard this, he found it funny and at the same time had to agree with Hu Die's point of view.

His eldest brother really doesn't seem to care much about his marriage!
Moreover, every time I asked him about his future sister-in-law, he would always say the same thing. If he said it, he would not say it.

But the second brother is not necessarily much better than the eldest brother, right?

After all, isn’t it said that it is most difficult for rough men in the military camp to get married and get a wife?

Li Xiaoliao didn't know that not long after she had this idea, she was unexpectedly slapped in the face by her own brother.

The two chatted for a long time in the teahouse. Seeing that it was almost noon, they went to Jixiang Restaurant to have a meal together. After the meal, they reluctantly said goodbye for a while.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, just after breakfast, Hu Die hurriedly entered the door of Li's house, um, with a carriage of gifts prepared by her father.

"Hu Die, you came as soon as you said you would. Why are you bringing all these gifts?" Li Yuan said disapprovingly.

Although their family now knows that Hu Die is valuable, in their eyes, Hu Die is just like a daughter of the family. How can their own daughter bring so many gifts home?
"Uncle, aunt, these are just ordinary things. In Liuning, you treat me like a daughter. What's the fuss about this 'girl' bringing something home?"

"If you don't accept it, you will have sex with me!" Hu Die stared at Li Yuan with a deliberately aggrieved face.

Li Yuan couldn't stand being stared at, and was finally defeated. He said with a helpless smile: "Okay, aunt, accept it, I won't be related to you!"

"You should stay for lunch, aunt will prepare something delicious for you!"

"Okay! It's been a long time since I've eaten the food cooked by my aunt. I'll be able to enjoy it soon!"

While the three of them were chatting and laughing, a deep and deep voice came from outside the house.

"Mom, do you have anything else to eat?"

The sound is very magnetic and stable, giving people a sense of security and solidity.

As soon as Hu Die turned her head and looked in the direction of the sound, she saw a tall figure opening the thick curtain and walking in.

Li Qingbai was supposed to go home last night, but something temporarily delayed him, so he simply came back today.

I didn't eat anything when I set off, and I missed breakfast when I got home, so I thought of coming over to my mother's place to ask for some food.

He didn't expect to see another girl's house at his mother's side!

"Second brother, why are you back at this time? Haven't you eaten yet?" "Well, I had something to do last night and couldn't come back. I rushed back in the morning and haven't eaten yet. I wanted to come over to my mother's place to find some food."

After Li Qingbai finished speaking, he looked at Hu Die where Li Xiaorang was sitting, "I don't know if this young lady is here, but I was rude. I hope you can forgive me!"

Hu Die was a generous and cheerful person. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Brother Li is seeing someone else. Uncle Li, Aunt Li and I have met Yu Liu Ning and have known each other for a long time. We are like family members."

"Brother Li is a little brother, just like Hu Die's brother. There is nothing rude about the brother meeting his sister." After saying that, he smiled at Li Yuan and said: "Aunt Li, I'm right. Bar!"

Li Yuan has lived in the countryside for a long time. The so-called "great defense of men and women" in the countryside is not as important as the nobles in the capital, so Li Yuan quite agrees with Hu Die's words.

Li Xiao, on the other hand, saw that his family still had a problem: there were still too few servants.

Small manpower means that many "positions" require "part-time work".

Just like just now, because my mother planned to keep Hu Die for lunch, she asked Chun Cao Dao Kitchen to inform the kitchen in advance so that the dishes could be prepared in advance so that she could get started directly when she came over.

When the second brother came over, Chuncao had not come back yet, so no one reminded the people in the room that Li Qingbai was over.

As for Li Qingbai, naturally there was no way to know, except that there were other ladies present in the room.

This is still quite taboo in the elite circles of these aristocratic families in the capital, especially for Hu Die, who is still an unmarried woman, so she must pay more attention to her reputation.

After temporarily suppressing what was in his mind, he took a closer look and found that Hu Die was lagging behind in speaking, and his second brother's steady eyes suddenly brightened slightly, then quickly disappeared again.

Because the spring grass had not returned, Li Yuan got up and brought over the warm radish and lean meat porridge.

"You can eat some to fill your stomach first, and you can have an early lunch later."

As he said that, Li Yuan placed a small table for Li Qingzhu at the end of the kang and let him eat there.

She continued chatting with her two little girls.

Hu Die really didn't care that Li Qingbai was there, so she almost thought of him as nothing during the whole process. It wasn't until Li Qingbai put down the bowls and chopsticks after finishing eating that the sound of movement reminded her of that person.

"Brother Li eats so fast?" Li Qingbai put down his bowl and chopsticks. Before Li Yuan spoke, Hu Die subconsciously spoke first.

"Well, I got used to it in the military camp. I couldn't change it at home and made the girl laugh." Li Qingbai said with a chuckle.

"Brother Li is out again, just call me Hu Die." After saying that, he raised a big smile.

Li Xiao watched the exchange between the two, thoughtfully.

After eating and drinking, Li Qingbai naturally had no reason to stay in Li Yuan's house, so he cleaned up the dishes and left.

Hu Die left after lunch, taking away most of the car's return gifts, as well as some of Li's little thoughts.

After Hu Die left, Li Xiao just returned to the house when Li Qingbai came over.

"Second brother, what's wrong?" Li Xiao asked pretending to be curious.

"Well, second brother wants to talk to you about Hu Die." Li Qingbai said directly.

"Hu Die?" Li Xiao asked with a question mark on his face, "Flower Butterfly or Pink Butterfly?"
