Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 66
"Mrs. Gong Shao, wait..." Li Yu caught up.

"Brother Yu, what's the matter?" Gong Rou's eyes were shining, and she smiled more innocently than ever.

Li Yu took a breath and said solemnly: "Miss Gong San, please call me Mr. Li from now on."

Gong Rou's smiling face suddenly collapsed, she bit her lips and said aggrievedly: "Brother Yu, but what did Rou'er do wrong?"

"No no! Miss Gong San misunderstood, it's just that the general's mansion and your mansion have never had any in-law relationship, it's unreasonable to say brother Yu." Li Yu hurriedly explained, seeing Gong Rou crying, couldn't bear it but still said firmly: "This is for the sake of Miss Gong San's reputation!"

Lu Xinyan looked at Li Yu thoughtfully, this kid suddenly changed like this, could it be...

"Young Madam, can I take a step to speak?" Li Yu asked urgently.

"Master Li, this way please."

After the two walked a little farther, Li Yu saw that there was no one around, and said in a low voice embarrassedly: "Why isn't Miss Gong Si with you, is it uncomfortable?"

Miss Gong Si?Not the Fourth Aunt Gong?

Lu Xinyan remained calm, and also said in a low voice: "Si Gu did not have a good rest last night, so she went to the wing room to rest for a while. I think she is normal except for a little tired."

Li Yu hummed, and after hesitating for a while, she seemed to have finally made up her mind, "Young madam, I thought about it for two days after I went back that day. Since I lost the reputation of the fourth lady in the palace in a hurry that day, I should take responsibility for it." Some responsibilities, I can’t insult the name of my father, General Weiyuan, so I told my mother, who not only disagreed, but also locked up the yard where I usually mix incense. But I have made up my mind, yes It won't change easily."

"You want to marry Fourth Aunt?" Lu Xinyan asked directly.

Li Yu's ear tips were slightly red, and he nodded a little helplessly, "Yes."

"Do you like Fourth Aunt? If you like it, I support it. If you don't like it, I don't agree."

Just because out of the heart of saving people, I accidentally hugged her and was seen by others, so I'm going to get married?
Judging from Lu Xinyan's modern thinking, it is unbelievable no matter how you look at it!

She said in a serious tone: "In order not to insult your father's fame, you want to marry the fourth aunt into the family. Where do you put the fourth aunt? The greatest wish of a woman in life is to be with her favorite person, Fenghuang Yufei." , grow old forever! If you can't give Fourth Aunt these things, don't provoke her casually!"

"Young madam, I... I..., I understand what young madam means. Since I want to marry Miss Si, I think I must treat her well in the future." Li Yu took a breath and said honestly: "Although I can't say that I like Miss Si right now. Girl, but I don’t hate it, the most important thing is that I don’t have any other women in my heart, I... I am willing... to try..."

Li Yu was too ashamed to say the word "like" in the end.

However, he spoke so sincerely and frankly, which made Lu Xinyan think highly of him.

This silly boy treats people really!
Lu Xinyan's tone softened, "Master Li, this is a matter between you and Si Gu, I can't make any decisions for Si Gu."

"I understand." Li Yu said with a smirk: "I can't tell others about this matter, I can only talk to you, Young Madam, as long as you don't object or call me wishful thinking, I will be satisfied. Fourth Miss, we I will express my heart to her, and I will try my best to persuade my mother."

Lu Xinyan smiled slowly, "Then I wish you your wish as soon as possible."

"Young Madam Xie, the young ladies are still waiting for you, so I'll take my leave first." Li Yu said goodbye with hands in his hands, and walked towards Wu Sheng and the others.

As soon as he left, Gong Rou, who had been paying attention to the movement here, immediately came up to him, and said urgently: "Sister-in-law, what did Brother Yu just tell you?"

When Lu Xinyan chatted with Li Yu privately, Gong Yu and Gong Mei had already gone to Shuixie first.

She didn't answer Gongrou's words, but said with a half-smile: "Third sister, Mr. Li has just made it very clear. I hope you will call him Mr. Li in the future."

Since Li Yu has the intention to marry Gong Jin, if it happens, they will call her fourth uncle in the future, and explain it in advance so as not to be blamed.

This Li Yu looked soft and soft, but his thoughts were careful, and he was not as independent as he imagined.

Gong Rou bit her lips, "What did Mr. Li tell you?"

"It's nothing, I just asked about making incense." Lu Xinyan casually perfunctory her.

Gong Rou doesn't believe it.

Although they were far away, she still noticed Li Yu's embarrassed look, so how could it be the expression of asking Zhixiang?
But Lu Xinyan didn't want to tell her, what can she do?

Gong Rou secretly gritted her teeth: The overall situation is the most important thing!

She put on a bright smile in an instant, "Sister-in-law, the princes and princesses have all gone to the waterside pavilion, shall we join in the fun?"

Lu Xinyan said: "I'm going to see Fourth Aunt, you go first."

"Then I'll accompany my sister-in-law to see my fourth aunt."

Lu Xinyan was noncommittal, "Let's go."

Going to the wing room, the servant girl of Wuyanghou Mansion said: "Miss Gong Si left a quarter of an hour ago."

"Sister-in-law, the fourth aunt probably heard that there is a game over there, and has already gone to the waterside pavilion, let's go quickly."

The water pavilion is already full of people, with men on the left and women on the right, separated by a screen inlaid with tulle in the middle.

There is a three-foot-high platform on the side, covered with a big red carpet, and several pear blossom wood screens with magpies climbing branches.

Lu Xinyan and Gong Rou found the exclusive seat in the Guangping Marquis Mansion, Jiang's Gong Yu and Gong Mei had already taken their seats, but Gong Jin was nowhere to be seen.

"Ma'am, have you seen Fourth Aunt?" Lu Xinyan asked politely.

"Didn't you go with you? Ask me what I do?" Jiang said angrily.

"Then I'll go find Fourth Aunt first."

"Sit down! The princes and princesses, Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Ge have already taken their seats, and we are about to announce the start." Jiang frowned, very impatiently, "This Wuyanghou Mansion, Fourth Sister is much more familiar with you than you, don't It's time for someone to find you."

When did the Jiang family treat her so kindly?Logically speaking, shouldn't she wish that she would disappear, and then be accused of having a private meeting?
Lu Xinyan blinked, and was about to speak, when Mrs. Cai's eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Cui, Mrs. Wuyanghou, had signaled the housekeeper to start speaking.

"It is really an honor to have all the princes, princesses, and young ladies come to the Hou's Mansion today. In order to increase the fun of today's dress-up competition, the old lady deliberately kept it from everyone. If there is any discomfort, please forgive me! This dress-up competition lasts for half an hour. You can sign up first, and then three suitable contestants will be selected by the princess, the old lady and the eldest lady. All the ladies and gentlemen present will vote, and finally the three The prince will determine the winner. The final winner will be rewarded by the queen with a pair of red emerald beads and crested golden steps! Sign up now!"

Hearing that the Empress had rewarded her with the red sapphire dripping pearls and phoenix-headed golden steps, the ladies who were not very interested at all became interested one after another.

The Marquis of Wuyang sent ten servant girls in pink clothes to ask row by row if they wanted to participate in the competition.

When we arrived at Guangping Marquis Mansion, before Lu Xinyan could speak, Gong Rou said loudly: "Sister-in-law, on the day of grandma's birthday party, after you helped grandma dress up, you surprised everyone. This time, I will participate no matter what, and win the grandma's birthday." Reward from the queen, to save face for our Marquis!"

Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Cai held this makeup contest. Lu Xinyan knew very well that she was repaying her contribution to Mrs. Cai's makeup, but it was not easy to reward her publicly, so she took the opportunity to hold such a contest and let her It is logical to get the reward.

Since she knew in her heart that if she didn't participate, she would really lose face to Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Cai.

And that step was given by the empress, it is of great benefit to her who is not obvious now, especially when she is separated from Miyata in the future, it is definitely a sharp weapon.

Lu Xinyan originally planned to participate, but Gong Rou was so big to help her hate, this thought...

As soon as Gong Rou's words fell, all kinds of strange eyes suddenly came from the left and right of the neighbors.

"Mrs. Gong Shao, are you going to participate?" the girl in pink asked, and when no one was paying attention, she winked quietly at her.

"Report the name for her." Jiang Shi said with dignity in the attitude of the head of the house, "Since you are here on behalf of our Houfu, naturally you have to do your part for the Houfu."

Lu Xinyan nodded to the girl in pink, and after she left, she smiled slightly, "Madam has confidence in me, so you're not afraid that I lose and lose the face of our Marquis Mansion?"

Jiang snorted softly: "It's just a registration, you may not have the opportunity to participate."

"It's just a name, why didn't the second sister and the third sister sign up?" Lu Xinyan asked lightly.
