Chapter Thirty-Five: Coming to Xifeng
At this time, Qingqing was gossiping with Qi Xuan, and also called Ah Qi. Since Ah Qi entered the Ren Mansion, he has become a small servant in the mansion, and he has entered Qingqing's courtyard to wait. On weekdays, I don't often go into the inner room, but I just wait outside to obey orders, do chores, and run errands. Today, the three of them had a leisure, so they gathered together to talk. At this moment, I saw Mrs. Ren come in and smile happily. Mrs. Ren saw the master and the slave sitting and drinking tea together, but she seemed to turn a blind eye. only smiled and said to Qingqing: Qingqing, do you remember Li Qingmu? Today your father received an invitation from him to attend his father's fiftieth birthday. I have consulted with your father, and tomorrow you will leave, and I will stay at home to take care of it. If you want to come there, it is inconvenient for people who are not served, so you can take two girls and take care of them.
Qingqing heard this and didn't understand for a while. It was natural, she had forgotten the past, how could she still remember him. I saw that Mrs. Ren was a lot happier than before, thinking about why bother with her intentions, but to celebrate her birthday, I don't think it will take too much time, if I am not afraid of the day that my brother said, let him pick it up. After thinking about it, the corners of his mouth were already curved, and he smiled at Mrs. Ren: Since my mother has already arranged it, Qingqing will naturally leave with her father tomorrow. If you want to take a girl, it is Qi Xuan, and the little girl will be a seven.
Mrs. Ren originally thought that the little girl was the one, and since her daughter was selected, it was difficult to say anything, so she agreed to her wishes. Laughing: Okay, good!
Early the next morning, there was a carriage waiting in front of the door, three carriages, one for the old man to sit, one for Qingqing and Qixuan Aqi to sit together, and one for the birthday gift. After all, the two families are among the best families, how can the bride price be too pleasant, and it fills the entire carriage.
Wait until everyone is in the carriage. Just as she was about to travel, Mrs. Ren stepped forward and said: Master, this time I went to Xifeng, the matter of the shop is important, but the more important thing is Qingqing's marriage. You have to take good care of it, and don't lose your senses. After speaking, Master Ren naturally promised one by one. Then, Mrs. Ren went to the second carriage and said to Qingqing: Qingqing, take care of yourself, don't be stingy with what you need, even if you buy it, don't suffer yourself. Qingqing naturally agreed. Seeing that everything that should be said was said, I finally told the girl again: This long trip, I pointed out a few of you, and I let you go out because you are smart and sensible on weekdays. Then, a qiē to the master's good priority, don't hide a place to play by yourself, if the old lady has a little bad cuò, you can be careful of your skin!
After speaking, the girls didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly nodded in response: Yes, madam!
Between the hills and Xifeng, with the foot strength of the carriage, as long as you can identify the direction, it only takes one day, and you can reach it before sunset. In Xifeng, Master Ren has a few shops, close to the city gate, because it is convenient to take care of it, he has set up a mansion not far away, although it is not very spacious, but it is enough. The three carriages entered the city before the gates were closed, and went straight to the mansion. For half a month after that, Qingqing lived there.
Although there are still a few days before the date of the invitation, my friends have not seen him for a long time, and I will definitely talk about it when I come. So after the repair was completed the next day, Master Ren took Qingqing to the Li Mansion to meet him.
Let's say that in the Li Mansion, because Aoki is the new head of the family, since he came back from the hills, he has had to sort out and control many affairs, and he is too busy to deal with it for a while, and he has no time to take care of his father's chatter. And Li He saw that Aoki was handling business affairs in an orderly manner, although he was comforted, but he was a little annoyed that his son was careless in marriage. Aoki didn't know what his father meant. I originally wanted to wait until this busy period was over, and then I would clarify my mind to the second elder. Who would have thought that but waited for a piece of news, it turned out that Ren Qingqing had become the person who married the emperor of the hilly country. Although I felt sad for a while, fortunately, there were enough things in the shop, and I didn't have much time to think about those things when I had no time to spare. And about the Ren Mansion, and even the hilly country, Aoki didn't hear about it. Even so, his parents could see the difference. As soon as Li He mentioned the slightest thing about the marriage of a man and a woman, he excused himself to leave. As time went by, I saw that he spoke less and less, and was only busy with the business of the shop, and he lost a lot of weight. So he wanted to use his birthday to buy a banquet, and invited relatives and friends from all over the world to get together, mainly Ren Guiping, thinking that when the time came, he knew one or two.
Today, Master Ren brought his daughter, gave a greeting gift, and got into the carriage. It didn't take long to arrive at the Li Mansion. The little guy stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the little guy in the house heard that it was said that it was Master Ren from the hilly country, and he came to see his brother. The little guy listened, and when he raised his eyes again, he saw that it was indeed Master Ren, so he hurriedly opened the door and invited everyone in. Then, he hurried to the inner hall to inform Master Li. Master Ren and the others were led by another servant. From time to time, I saw Li He walking from the front road, and the two took a photo, both patting their shoulders to say hello, and talking with a smile. Li He saw that there was another person behind Ren Guiping, and when he looked at it, he saw a beautiful woman looking at him with a smile. Thinking that it was Ren Qingqing, she smiled and said: But niece?
Qingqing listened to the words, knowing that she was asking her, so she lowered her eyes and saluted, and replied: Qingqing has seen Uncle Li.
Li He smiled: Okay, good! I haven't seen you for a few years, and I have become brighter and brighter.
Master Ren said: Brother praised it falsely.
Li Hedao: What did Brother Xian say? If Qingqing is not good-looking, then there are not a few Peugeot in this Xifeng.
After speaking, he led everyone to the front hall. The little guy also made fragrant tea early and waited for the old man and others. When they arrived at the inner hall, everyone was seated. The little guy with the gift box also went down with the little guy.
After inviting everyone to drink tea, Master Ren said first: This time I came not only for my brother's birthday, but also because of the letter that my brother ordered his nephew to bring a few days ago. At that time, my younger brother had seen it earlier, but because he was busy coping with it in the coming day, he never replied. I came here today for that matter, and I ask my brother not to blame. So saying, he got up and bowed down.
Seeing this, Li He rushed forward to hold Master Ren's hand, and said with a smile: What did the virtuous brother say, if you can come, you can look up to being a brother the most, so why blame it. What's more, if you become an in-law in the future, there is no need to say this.
When Master Ren heard that, he also smiled and said: What my brother said is true. Then he followed the gesture and got up. The two also returned to their respective seats.
Master Ren said: Why don't you see your sister-in-law?
Li He sighed and said: She has been upset recently, and her body is already weak, and she can't get out of bed now, so she only lies in bed every day to recuperate.
Master Ren said: Why is my sister-in-law upset?
Li Hedao: It's not that rebel yet. Seeing that he was old, he wanted to find a family affair for him, but he always avoided talking about it, and he didn't say anything if he had anything to do with marriage. When I asked him what was wrong, he didn't say. I saw that he was preoccupied and thinning down day by day. When his mother saw this, she had to persuade her all day, but he vetoed it, saying that it was fine. Now he only comes back at dinner every day, and when her mother sees him like this, how can she not be sick?
Master Ren said: That's the case.
Everyone had nothing to say, so they drank tea. Li Hecai said: I finally came here, so I stayed for lunch. I'll send someone to call Aoki back, and if he knows you're coming, he'll come back." With that, he ordered the little guy to invite Aoki. Then he said: My mansion is not big, but there are several good places. Why don't you let the little guy lead Qingqing around?
Master Ren smiled: This is naturally good. Let Qingqing go out with the little guy.
