sister-in-law

Chapter 148 Still Broken Shoes
At this time, the snow was several inches deep, leaving clear footprints where the feet walked.

None of the strings of footprints, or the prints of women's embroidered shoes or men's boots, were so peculiar.

Among the many footprints, the string of strange footprints is like a string of wind chimes, floating on the snow.

The string of footprints was tapered in front and a semicircle in the back, and there seemed to be no footprints in the middle. Gu Zhang and Li Fuan had never seen such footprints, so they couldn't help but wonder: what kind of animal footprints are these?

Gu Zhang thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure it out. He patted his forehead and suddenly had a sudden inspiration. He smiled in surprise and said, "Your old lady must be on crutches."

"Nonsense, the old lady has never used a cane!" Li Fu'an was furious, and stared back at him, "What's more, the old lady will never come out on this day!"

Is Gu Zhang's head stuffed?Otherwise, how could you come up with such a bad idea?
Gu Zhang also stared, and shouted back unceremoniously, "If it's not a crutch, what is it? Could it be that there are some wild animals in your home?"

As a hunter, he has a deep sensitivity to wild animals. As soon as he finished speaking, he looked around and sniffed lightly.

Li Fu'an was also a little nervous, if any beast really broke into the back house, it would be a disaster.Look at the footprints, this beast is also very big, the back house is full of female relatives and maids, what's wrong with it, how shameful are they for Duke Cheng's mansion?

He exchanged a solemn look with Gu Zhang, told the servants around him to be vigilant, and strode towards Ming'an Hall.

They have to go there quickly, if they are late, they will be in trouble.

The two rushed forward, and Li Fuan took Gu Zhang to Ming'antang by taking a small path.Li Congwu took the children of the aristocratic family on the right path and left.

Arriving at Ming'an Hall, and entering the living room where birthday worship is held, only to find that there are people crowded with laughter and laughter.

Both Gu Zhang and Li Fu'an were stunned, it seems that no beasts broke in here?What kind of animal did the footprints I saw just now belong to?

The two of them didn't dare to make it public, for fear of scaring the women's family members, they had to kowtow to the old lady first, and then stood politely under the old lady's hands, listening to her inquiries.

Su Ruoli was originally huddled in a corner, but as soon as these two people came in, she quickly lowered her head, not wanting them to notice.

Gu Zhang didn't know that Su Ruoli came here today, but Li Fu'an knew that Li'er was able to come today because his grandmother asked his eldest sister to write a post, nothing more than to see Li'er's appearance character.

For him, if he wanted to marry Su Ruoli, he had to get the family's consent.Otherwise, even if Li'er could marry in, life would be difficult.

Li Fu'an and Mrs. Li standing behind her grandmother looked at each other quietly, and when Mrs. Li pouted in the corner, Li Fu'an understood, smiled and looked sideways, and saw that slender figure was being surrounded by a plump figure in front of her. The old woman was half blocked, and she couldn't help laughing secretly: It seems that she is afraid of such a big occasion, and I don't know if his grandmother has seen her?
But since his mother knew about this girl, then his grandmother must have seen it before, so I don't know if he made things difficult for her?
He was overjoyed in his heart, and that handsome face became more and more beautiful, making those women in the boudoir bite their fingers and chuckle, hoping that he could take a look at him.

Helpless, Li Fu'an's mind is full of Su Ruoli's beautiful image, and his eyes are naturally aimed at Su Ruoli, how can there be room for other women?
But the plump woman in front of Su Ruoli was elated after seeing Li Fuan.We all know that the youngest son of Duke Cheng's mansion is both civil and military, and he is a once-in-a-century talent.Now seeing this appearance and this figure, he is even more satisfied from the bottom of his heart.

Didn't expect it to look like this!No wonder it is widely rumored in Beijing that the youngest son of Duke Cheng's mansion is one of the most beautiful men, it really is worth seeing once.

And he even looked at her, could it be that he was interested in her daughter?

As soon as the woman turned her head, she saw that her daughter's head was drooping low, her delicate face was flushed red and was about to bleed. Guang Guang looked at Li Fu'an's daughter, and said with a low smile: "Look, what does this young master look like? If you like it, mother will let your father find a way when she comes home!"

The woman also thought that Li Fu'an was looking at him, caring about herself, she was happy and nervous at the same time, she smiled coquettishly, stared at Li Fu'an with dead eyes, and said coyly: "But it's up to the parents!"

So, is this willing?
The woman was overjoyed, and she was thinking about how to trust the old lady of the Li family and Mrs. Li so that they could be in-laws by then!
Just when the woman was thinking about being happy, she heard a woman in charge outside come in and say: "Old lady, the stage is ready, and the Duke is leading people to wait."

Mrs. Li hurried forward to help Mrs. Li, "Mom, let's go over."

Mrs. Li greeted all the female relatives with a smile: "It's my old man's birthday today, please trouble everyone. It's just snowing outside, let's go watch the show and have fun!"

All the female relatives stood up with smiles, watching Mrs. Li surrounded by maids and women, wearing a golden cloak trimmed with pearls, went to the door and walked away in a soft sedan chair carried by two people.

Everyone hurriedly followed along with the girls and women holding umbrellas, but the road was slippery in snowy weather, and the ladies and ladies were all right with the girls and women.It's just that those maids and women who dare not walk on the cleaned stone road in the middle are suffering. On a snowy day, they still wear blue cotton shoes, and they will slip and slip when walking on the slippery road.

There were so many people, three or four girls fell to the ground as soon as they left the door, and even the madam and young lady who were supporting them were knocked upside down, so embarrassed!
After everyone had left, Su Ruoli came out slowly from the corner, and walked out with Ling'er.

Seeing this scene outside, I just feel ridiculous.Fortunately, she was wise, and in the winter, she drew a picture when she had nothing to do, and asked a carpenter to carve the wooden high-heeled soles for her.Perfect for this snowy day.

Ling'er was holding an oiled paper umbrella, and Su Ruoli leisurely followed behind the group of people, listening to the sound of falling down from time to time, she felt surprisingly happy!
As he was walking, a tall figure suddenly blocked the way in front of him. Since he was walking with his head bowed and an umbrella was placed on his head, Su Ruoli could only look up.

"Li'er, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" A clear and magnetic male voice came from above her head, it was Li Fu'an's.

At this time, he was wearing a sable velvet cloak, a layer of snow fell on his shoulders and head, and he didn't open an umbrella, just stood there, staring at Su Ruoli.

Su Ruoli thought about his feelings for her, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, the group of people in front had gone far away, and Li Fu'an didn't bring his servant to follow, so Su Ruoli felt relieved.

So he walked around him and replied casually: "Really? I didn't want to come, I thought it had nothing to do with your family, and I couldn't climb such a high family. But your eldest sister wrote the post herself, no Come on, it seems that I am hypocritical."

The clear and clear voice was like big pearls and small pearls falling on a jade plate, mixed with giggling laughter, which made Li Fu'an's heart feel particularly ironed, and the expression on his face softened accordingly.

"Today is my grandma's [-]th birthday. I specially invited you here because I want you to meet them..." Li Fu'an said carefully. Although he was afraid that Su Ruoli would be angry, he felt that he was hiding it. Sooner or later, she would have to know, so she told her why she invited Su Ruoli today.

Su Ruoli's eyes jumped suddenly: just to say, why did the old lady look at her with an imperceptible hostility at that time?It turns out that the granddaughter-in-law is here to see each other?
It's ridiculous!Although I am not a lady of every family, am I also a person who comes and goes when he is called?

Besides, since when did she want to marry Li Fu'an, does she need him to be affectionate?

A small face was colder than the ice and snow outside, Su Ruoli raised her chin slightly, staring at Li Fuan's with a pair of cool and penetrating eyes, the corners of her lips raised, revealing a sneering smile, "I said Second Young Master Li, General Li, when did this girl say that she was going to marry you, did you need people from your family to look at her secretly? I thought I was really asked to come to pay respects to your grandmother's birthday. I messed around for a long time Did you make me look ugly?"

Su Ruoli was really annoyed, she had seen such blind dates before, not to mention that the ancient aristocratic families were not busy getting married, and usually there were elders who brought their children of the right age to participate in various events. The banquet, in fact, also has the purpose of a blind date.

Even those female relatives who bring their daughters to pay their respects to their birthdays now have such thoughts in mind, right?

It's just that it shouldn't be, Li Fu'an didn't tell her beforehand, but directly pushed her to his grandmother and mother, what did he take her for?

Li Fu'an's face was reddish, and he was a little embarrassed, "Li'er, don't be angry! It's not that grandma and mother want to make things difficult for you, but that if you don't marry me now, you will probably enter the palace. Are you willing to enter the palace to serve the emperor?" , to be one of the six courtyards of the Sangong?"

What Li Fuan said was the truth, but the meaning revealed in those words made Su Ruoli unable to accept it.What do you mean you have to marry him if you don't enter the palace?Does he think too well of himself?
Tilting his head, Su Ruoli smiled, "Li Fu'an, I didn't realize that you are still a narcissist before? Don't I have no other way out except marrying you? Marrying someone like you What's the difference between being a wealthy family and entering the palace? Even if your desire to marry me is true, can your grandmother, mother, and sister agree? How can you protect me from living in such a deep house?"

At this point, if the bloody facts are not revealed, Li Fu'an will not give up.

In fact, from today's incident, Su Ruoli can see that it is not easy for Li Fu'an to marry her, and it doesn't matter if he says it alone.If he can do whatever he wants, why bother secretly calling her to let his grandmother see her?

It can be seen that the ancestors of the Li family would not agree.

Li Fu'an stood there with an ugly expression for a while, his chest fluctuated a little, clenched his fists for a long time, and said hoarsely: "Grandma loves me so much, she will definitely agree!"

"Really? Then I'll have to wait and see!" Su Ruoli said coldly, and walked forward with Ling'er.

What she wants is to be a couple forever, even if it is so simple, this wish is not easy to come true!

How could such a lintel of the Li family allow an abandoned woman like her to enter the house?
She believed in Li Fu'an's affection, but she couldn't accept such a big family.

Man said that there are shrewd and sophisticated ancestors in the Li family, and tricky boudoir ladies, even if there is no one, there are mothers-in-law and concubines, and there will be all kinds of concubines in the future.

She is living a good life, but why bother to find this sinner?
It's not that Li Fu'an doesn't understand, it's just that he loves Su Ruoli deeply and cannot let go.Besides, he is an ancient man, how could he think what Su Ruoli wanted?
He thought that relying on his family could protect her life, so why would she not do it?

When Su Ruoli walked away, Li Fu'an looked at her beautiful back with a sense of loss, and smiled wryly.

Su Ruoli's words have already expressed her feelings.All she wanted was a simple and happy life, but could he give her such a life?

Even if he could give it, would his family members be willing to give it?
He was still full of enthusiasm, but now he didn't know whether it was the cold wind and snowflakes blowing for a long time or was hit by Su Ruoli's words, he felt cold all over.

A moment ago, he secretly abandoned Gu Zhang and waited deliberately for Su Ruoli by himself. At that time, he cheered and jumped like a young boy who had just learned the taste of love.

At this moment, he seemed to have fallen into a hole in the ice!
He couldn't figure it out. Didn't his grandmother and mother not like what he liked?

Li'er is such a beautiful person, why don't they like her?
In the front hall, the hall is open and bright, and the earth dragon is burned, making it warm as a spring day.

The theater stage was set up on a shelf outside, and the female relatives and the male guests sat and listened to the opera separately through a few screens.

Su Ruoli sat in the corner, eating melon seeds and snacks in an inconspicuous and quiet manner.She couldn't understand what was babbling on the stage, but she didn't bother to pay attention.

Once it comes, it will be at ease, she has always been such a resilient temperament.

It's just that she is a little strange, why don't Li Lanxin and Li Lanfu not see Li Lanxin and Li Lanfu sisters on the [-]th birthday of the ancestor of the Duke of Cheng's mansion?
Ordinarily, their two granddaughters have to serve on the side in person, right?
Mrs. Li took the eldest daughter-in-law to chat with the female relatives, very enthusiastically, but she always glanced at Su Ruoli from time to time, which made Su Ruoli sneer.

Hmph, it's useless to look again!This girl can't afford to climb high!

After watching a hat show, all the female relatives got up and scattered, gathering together in twos and threes to talk.

Li Lanxin and Li Lanfu brought Brother Xin in from the outside, and everyone turned their attention to them.

Mrs. Li hurriedly beckoned to her two daughters, "Come here, meet the ladies!"

Li Lanfu walked over with a smile, but Li Lanxin hesitated for a while, but finally followed with her head down.

Sitting there, Su Ruoli saw the expression on her face clearly. She saw that Li Lanxin's face was bright and watery after applying makeup, but the circles under her eyes were red, and the undersides were black and blue. Can't stop it!
This little girl didn't sleep well last night?
Su Ruoli looked over with a smile, thinking secretly.For such a delicate young lady, what else is on her mind?

Li Lanxin seemed to have noticed her gaze, and turned her head to look at her. Seeing that it was Su Ruoli, the resentment on her face couldn't help but surprised Su Ruoli: When did he offend her?
Li Lanxin met several wives before walking towards her.

Su Ruoli just sit upright and see how this little girl wants to deal with her today?
Before she fell into the water last time, she clearly saw Li Lanxin looking at her with a cold face. If she didn't avenge her revenge, she wouldn't be Su Ruoli.

Seeing Li Lanxin walking towards this side, Brother Xin also followed, shouting, "Auntie, Auntie, wait for me."

Originally, Brother Xin was a boy and should follow his father, but since this was at his grandmother's house, he didn't pay much attention to it.Besides, he's only seven or eight years old, so it's no big deal.

Li Lanxin ignored Brother Xin, and walked over slowly step by step with a sneer on her lips.

Brother Xin ran fast, with sharp eyes, and immediately recognized Su Ruoli who was sitting there, and immediately rushed over happily clapping his hands, "Beautiful sister, you are here too? Listen to what mother said Uncle wants to marry you?"

One word stirred up a thousand waves!

Children's words are innocent, but they are the truth!
Immediately, all eyes in the hall were directed at Su Ruoli. If these gazes could be turned into sharp swords, Su Ruoli's body would be riddled with holes.

Many wives with their daughters looked at Su Ruoli viciously. Their daughters hadn't written a word yet. How could it be the turn of such a little girl from a small family who showed her face in public?

Su Ruoli smiled wryly, she didn't expect that such a brat would expose the fact that the Li family was so tightly guarded.

Hey, I have become the target of public criticism again.Although she doesn't want to be like this!
It is estimated that Chengguo government does not want others to know, right?If people find out that Li Fu'an has someone he likes, and she's a little medical girl practicing medicine, they will probably laugh out loud, right?

Who is willing to marry their daughter to a man who has their own hearts?No matter how good his family background is, no matter how noble his family background is, no matter how impeccable his character is?

Mrs. Li regained her strength after being dazed, and stared at Li Lanfu desperately, while laughing at herself, "Everyone, sit down, the fun has begun again."

Isn't it the beginning of the fun?
Su Ruoli couldn't help but want to laugh, what Mrs. Li said, no matter how it sounds, there is a layer of meaning in it.

Li Lanxin's face was livid, and she pointed at Su Ruoli through gritted teeth, "Brother Xin, what nonsense are you talking about? She is worthy of it?"

Li Lanfu rushed over a long time ago, pulled the child over, and slapped his butt twice, "Damn child, let you talk nonsense, let you talk nonsense!"

The fact that there is no 300 taels of silver here makes all the female relatives look weird. Everyone has a feeling in their hearts. At that time, when everyone was paying respects to Mrs. Li's birthday in the living room of Ming'an Hall, someone noticed that Mrs. Li had held hands with her eyes. The hand of the woman who was sitting upright like a clock carefully looked at it.

Now that Brother Xin said it, everyone seemed to understand something.

It turned out that the Li family fell in love with a little medical girl.

So, surprised, funny, heartbroken... all kinds of inexplicable emotions hit the hearts of the wives and ladies, especially the plump woman's daughter, her face was so collapsed that she was about to fall off.

After a long time, Mr. Li didn't look at her, but at the little doctor girl behind her?
She has blinded her girlish Hanchun heart in vain!

Su Ruoli got up gracefully, dignified, elegant, proud...all the beautiful words in the world can't describe her demeanor at the moment!

Seeing her like this, Li Lanxin couldn't help being even more angry, and her mouth became vicious: "You, you are worthy to come to our house? How can a person like you dare to go out?"

"What's wrong with a person like me? I don't understand Miss Li's words, as if I was begging to come to your house? You know, it was your sister who personally posted a post asking me to come to the old lady's birthday! What's the matter? Li Is the girl trying to drive me away?"

For such a person who sprays feces all over his mouth indiscriminately, Su Ruoli has always been merciless.

What's the matter, she is also a person in the capital, Li Lanxin doesn't give her face so much, why should she give her face?

The female relatives seemed to have never seen such a fierce bickering, and they were stunned for a while.

I don't know who it is, and suddenly pointed at Su Ruoli's toes and yelled, "Wow, look at her shoes? They don't look like those in Beijing, they are so beautiful?"

Su Ruoli is a little funny, who is this, so weird?It's this time, and you still have to look at her shoes?

That's right, it is estimated that when Li Lanxin was scolding her, others were not idle, they must have looked her up and down clearly.

What's more, she is the protagonist today, and brother Xin yelled out that she is Li Fu'an's favorite, which made everyone angry.

So all the girls rushed up to see her boots.What's more, seeing that Su Ruoli was not liked by Li Lanxin, in order to curry favor with Li Lanxin, Su Ruoli actually asked Su Ruoli to show them his boots.

For women in ancient times, women's feet cannot be easily exposed.These people wanted her to take off her boots in public, what evil intentions!

Su Ruoli was quite rude to the person who had stretched out his claws towards him, and stomped down fiercely with his feet.

Hearing a few wow-wah screams, a few grinding claws stretched out quickly retracted, and they didn't dare to probe anymore.

Li Lanxin couldn't bear to glance at her extremely exquisite high-heeled boots, swallowed her stomach full of envy, and just stared at her viciously, "No matter how beautiful they are, they are also a pair of broken shoes, broken shoes that others don't want!"

These words can be described as extremely vicious, in front of so many people, if Su Ruoli hadn't been a time traveler and didn't care about these things, she really wouldn't be able to step down!

Seeing that Li Lanxin was so vicious, Su Ruoli was not angry, but just replied with a smile: "Oh, Miss Li, you are a little girl, so don't be too vicious? Be careful that you can't get married if you have abscesses! But Don't worry, this girl has a good medicine that can cure all diseases, if one day your mouth really rots, just come to me!"

She lightly smiled and patted Li Lanxin's shoulder, and suddenly leaned close to her ear, and said with a smile: "At any rate, we can be regarded as acquaintances, and it will be cheaper for you."
