The next day, after Saitama greeted Shi Shi, he played with Tong Ge'er for a while, and then returned to his courtyard and began to draw up a list of guests according to the old lady's suggestion. She called Li Yi's nurse, Mother Shen, to ask if she knew about the past treat. However, this Shen's mother was only in Li Yi's yard, and she didn't know anything about these things in the Guogong Mansion, and Saitama had no choice but to let her go back.

She thought about it carefully, and the first thing she wanted to invite was the closest relatives of the two families, including the Lian family's mother's family, the Huang family's mother's family and her own family. The second is the same noble family as Grandpa Guo, who wants to be in Pingyang Houfu or something. The other is Grandpa Guo and Li Yi's friends and colleagues, who among these people may have to ask Li Yi to know. And because Li Yi does not hold any substantive position now, his colleagues can only discuss with Li Yi carefully. finally had a general framework, but what gave her a headache was that she never thought of who her grandmother said she should invite to the weighty guest, and she didn't have a clue until Li Yi came back in the evening.

"What's the matter, what's upset?" Li Yi asked with concern.

"Grandmother said she was inviting a weighty guest, but I didn't think of who would be the right one to invite. ”

"It's not simple, is the eldest princess suitable?" Li Yi said disapprerovingly.

"I also know, but the eldest princess didn't go to Jiangnan with Prince Rong, and I'm afraid it's not easy to invite. ”

"The eldest princess is back these days, and King Rong will also be invited. As for the matter of inviting the eldest princess, I'm afraid you will have to use your brains. But I think if you're sincere, there's nothing you can't do. ”

"That's great, it's a big problem. Saitama said excitedly.

"Look at your pleasure. Li Yi smiled and patted Saitama on the shoulder. Saitama was in a very happy mood because Li Yi's words suddenly solved the problem that had plagued her for a day. After dinner, he pulled Li Yi to discuss the list of guests for the banquet to see which friends Grandpa Guo and Li Yi needed to invite.

After the two agreed, Saitama wanted to transcribe the list, but Li Yi kept urging him, so he had to go to bed to rest. The next day, after I got up, I carefully transcribed it. I don't feel at ease after that. I check it with autumn frost delicately.

However, Lian's side felt that Saitama had not moved at all in the past two days, presumably because he didn't know how to start, and he was secretly proud of his good plan. So I wanted to find an opportunity to humiliate her, so I deliberately chose to send someone to find Saitama when Grandpa Guo was there.

She also knew in her heart that this title of her family was already in Li Yi's bag, but what made her unwilling was to hand over this huge family property to Li Yi, so she thought that she could always hold the power of the family. Leave Li Yi and them an empty shelf.

As for those possessions, the best thing is, of course, to subsidize their own family. Although Lian's mother's family is also a Hou mansion, her brother is not good at handling general affairs, there are few people working in the house, there are many people eating, and they don't know how to be thrifty, they still live a luxurious life, and they inevitably eat grain, and now they barely rely on some granges left by their ancestors to live. Several sons and nephews are not very competitive, and they inevitably ask her to help them in terms of money.

Originally, when Li Duan was there, Lian's help to his mother's family was still average. Now that Li Duan is not there, whether there is a son left, Lian's family has intensified his efforts to send money to his mother's family. She clearly knew that once Saitama took charge of the family, her deficits would be found out sooner or later, and Guogong would not spare her at that time. That's why she thought about putting Saitama together, so that Grandpa Guo would still put the power of the family in her own hands.

When Saitama finally prepared the list, she heard that the Lian clan had sent someone to find her, so she immediately changed her clothes and went to the Lian clan's courtyard with Que'er. After Saitama entered, he found that Grandpa Kuni was also here. I can't help but feel a little weird. She didn't say anything, only saluted Grandpa Guo and the Lian family.

"Yu'er, why haven't I seen your letter in the past few days. I heard that you returned to your parents' house yesterday?"

"Yes, Yu'er hasn't seen her grandmother since she came back from Shandong. So I went back yesterday. ”

"I haven't seen the matter of the banquet yet, it's rare that you still have the heart to go back to your parents' house. Brother Yi is also a little too laissez-faire. Lian clearly asked Grandpa Guo to see how unreliable Saitama was, and sure enough, Grandpa Guo frowned slightly after listening to Lian's words, and his gaze at Saitama was also a little dissatisfied. How could Saitama not see Lien's intentions, so he said:

"Aunt is right to blame, Yu'er is really stupid. After only being busy booking the list of guests for such a long time, I'm afraid it's really going to delay a big event. ”

"What, you have drawn up the list?" Lian couldn't believe that such a young girl who was not deeply involved in the world had drawn up a list in a short period of time.

"Where's the list?" Qi Guogong asked. Saitama presented the list she had prepared. Qi Guogong first looked at the hairpin flower, and sighed a little, in the end, it was a girl from a scholarly family, this is a good handwriting. When he looked at the list carefully, he was immediately amazed again. This list not only lists the guests to the banquet very thoroughly, but also marks the relationship between the people at the back, so that it will be clear at a glance when ranking the seats.

"You made this list alone?"

"Yes. But I also asked what Xiang Gong meant. Is there something wrong?" Qi Guogong did not answer Saiyu's question immediately, but thought that Li Yi and his wife were really human figures, both of them were young, but they were both so capable, and the Guogong Mansion was in their hands, I am afraid it would

"No, that's good. Madame, look at it. Qi Guogong handed the list in his hand to the Lian clan.

Lian Shi was shocked when she saw it, she really couldn't find anything wrong with this list, but when she saw the name of the eldest princess on it, she not only secretly laughed and said that it is known that the eldest princess has never attended these banquets, and Saitama actually wanted to invite the eldest princess, which was really ridiculous.

"What, you're still going to invite the eldest princess?"

"Yes. ”

"Do you know that the eldest princess never attends such a banquet?"

"This?" Saitama only knew that the eldest princess was not easy to invite, and he really didn't know about the fact that the eldest princess never attended the banquet, and he didn't hear Li Yi talk about it. But she remembered that she lived in the eldest princess's mansion in the past, and the lonely life of the eldest princess, so she felt that she should be allowed to come to the lively and lively, it was better than being lonely like a person.

"Young people have no experience in doing things, and they like to be ambitious. Don't think that Brother Yi and King Rong have a good relationship, so they can invite Princess Dongchang. Lian said cool words, Qi Guogong felt that Saiyu had done a good job, so he felt that he should help Saiyu, so he said:

That's it. Just remove the eldest princess, and what's there to fight about. ”

Lian knew that Qi Guogong was excusing Saitama, so he snorted coldly and said nothing. But I heard Saitama say:

"Great uncle. Yu'er once had a relationship with the eldest princess, and was rescued by the eldest princess, Yu'er was willing to give it a try and personally invited the eldest princess. Even if the princess is reluctant to come, it can be regarded as a show of our affection for her. ”

Saitama actually didn't have the bottom in his heart to invite the eldest princess. But she didn't want to bow to the Lian clan in front of Qi Guogong, so she volunteered to take on this task. And she remembered that Li Yi also agreed with the matter of inviting the eldest princess yesterday, and what Li Yi said to her yesterday, so she decided to give it a try.

"In this case, you can try it, after all, it is a very face-saving thing to invite the eldest princess, and it can be regarded as the best in the capital. ”

"Yes, uncle. Saitama bent down and saluted, and the corners of Lian's mouth twitched when he heard this, but there was nothing he could do. It seems that she still underestimated this girl a little, and this first time she was a little disadvantaged, and she couldn't give her any chance to turn over later.

"When you draw up this list, you should ask more people, so that you don't have to work so hard alone, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and you must learn to brainstorm. Qi Guogong said casually.

"Yes, Uncle taught me. Yu'er knows that she will definitely do it in the future. However, the eldest aunt did not go to the temple to make a vow in the past two days, and also went with many housekeepers. So......" Saitama stopped and didn't say. Only then did Qi Guogong understand that the Lian clan did not mean anything to help Saiyu, and the matter was not what he imagined, the Lian clan was willing to hand over the power to Saiyu, and this matter was probably what the Lian clan thought of.

Saitama took his leave and left Lien's courtyard. When I passed by the garden, I saw a little girl of five or six years old sitting in the pavilion in the garden, although surrounded by maids and maids, she looked very lonely. Saitama took a closer look and it turned out to be Sister Lian, the poor little girl who had been slapped by the Huang family by the lake back then was deeply imprinted in Saitama's mind.

"Sister Lian, what are you doing sitting here alone?"

The little girl turned around. Seeing that it was Saitama, he quickly stood up and shouted:

"Auntie. ”

"Why can't this strange cold go to the room and stay here alone. When Sister Lian saw Saitama asking her, she couldn't say a word and lowered her head. Saitama knew that Sister Lian was now living in the Huang family's house, and she didn't know how much she had been wronged compared to when she was in the Lian family's house, so she didn't ask anymore at the moment.

"Go back quickly, I'm afraid it's going to snow on this cloudy day, and it's not a joke to freeze. ”

"Auntie, Lian'er still wants to sit for a while, Auntie let's go first. "Sister Lian'er's business is very low, almost unheard. Saitama looked at her lips purple, and her hands were cold to the touch, obviously cold, and knew that she had something unspeakable, so she said:

"Well, I know you're playful and don't want to go back, so why don't you follow me to my house to see your little brother. Sure enough, hearing Saitama's proposal, Sister Lian'er's eyes lit up,

"Really, can I go see my little brother?"

"Why not?"

"My mother never let me get close to my little sister. Sister Lian'er's voice became lower and lower.

Saitama remembered what happened and couldn't help but feel deep sympathy for this girl, how similar her childhood was to this little girl, only luckily she had a grandmother who loved her.

"Your mother is also afraid that your child is not serious, don't take it seriously. Of course, Saitama can't say that Huang is wrong, so he can only be perfunctory. Sister Lian was obviously not satisfied with such an answer, but she liked this gentle and beautiful aunt very much, so she didn't say anything, just looked at Saitama expectantly.

Saitama took Sister Lian'er's little hand and returned to her yard together, Saitama thought about asking the people around Sister Lian'er, so she asked Que'er to take Sister Lian'er to Tong'er's house to play, and called the maid who often followed Sister Lian'er to him.

"On such a cold day, how can Sister Lian be reluctant to go back outside?" asked Saitama. That maid Saitama knew that she was still more loyal and had a good heart, so she specially stayed. Sure enough, when the maid heard Saitama's question, she stayed in tears. She knelt down on her knees and walked beside Saitama and said:

"Ask the second grandmother to save the young lady. ”

"Hurry up and talk, what's going on?" Saitama hurriedly called Autumn Frost to pull her up.

"The second grandmother doesn't know, since the young lady lived in the yard of the eldest grandmother, she has not had a good day, she can't eat enough, she is often beaten, and even pricked with needles, you don't see that the young lady's body is injured, and the eldest grandmother is not allowed to say it. ”

"Why do you want to clean Sister Lian?"

"Since the death of the uncle, the eldest grandmother has been in a bad mood and often loses her temper, which makes her angry Sister Lian. Recently, I even said that I didn't want to see Sister Lian'er, and asked Sister Lian'er to go back every day when I was eating, so Sister Lian'er ......"

"I see. Saitama interrupted her words, in her mind, the Huang family is just a little distracted, people who like to talk about cool words, the last time I saw the Huang family beating Sister Lian, it was just to protect the child. But I never expected that the Huang family would be such a vicious person, and it was outrageous that a child could do such a thing.

"Second grandma, slave maid, please save Miss, if this continues, I'm afraid Sister Lian won't be able to survive. ”

"Did you tell Madame?" asked Saitama, and the maid shook her head.

Madame doesn't like the people around Sister Lian to go to her, she thinks that Grandma Xian and Sister Lian are both ominous people who hinder the uncle. Saitama couldn't help but sigh when she heard this, why is this child's life so bitter.

"Second grandma, the slave knows that you are kind and good to Miss, and now you are the only one who can save her. ”

"This matter is not something I can save if I want to, you should know that I don't have any position to blame my sister-in-law. ”

"Doesn't that young lady have to stay up like this?"

"That's not necessarily the case, it's just a long-term perspective, not in a hurry. Saitama comforted her.

"The slave thanked the second grandmother for the young lady. As he spoke, he kowtowed three times to Saitama, and Autumn Frost couldn't pull it.

"During this time, you try not to let the eldest grandmother catch any tricks, if she doesn't want to see you and let you come out, you can bring Sister Lian'er to me. ”

"Thank you, second grandma. Saitama didn't say anything, but began to plan how to help Sister Lian. (To be continued.) )
