The room was quiet, and the Li Mansion of the Li Dangjing clan was missing, and it was much more deserted. Throughout September, the Lee Mansion was immersed in an atmosphere of pathos.

Li Ying was dressed in white, it was already October, and it was very cold in the capital. She has never spent the winter in the capital, and there is no snow in Yingdu. It's cold, and so is my heart.

Cui Xiang hurriedly took out a cloak and tied it to Miss, and said in her mouth, "Miss, the weather is cold, you have to be careful of catching a cold! Look at what you are wearing, just a few clothes, they look cold." ”

"I'm not cold", Li Ying said lightly, "What about the eldest brother?"

"Master Hou went out early in the morning", Cuixiang replied, "I didn't leave anything, so I took the big housekeeper Li Wei with me." "Li Bu is already a protector, and the servants in the family have long since changed their words.

"Where's my sister-in-law?"

"Madame...... Mrs. Qian entertained guests in the Little Flower Hall, and her mother came to visit her", Cui Xiang sighed secretly, why couldn't she change it! In the past, the title "Madame" was exclusive to Jing's family.

Li Ying lowered his eyes and looked at the green bricks underground, the Li Mansion had been changed to the Protector's Mansion, and even the plaque had been changed. She inexplicably remembered a sentence, once a son of heaven and a courtier.

Su Gu originally stayed by her side, but she went back to Yingdu on the order of the queen to do business, and she couldn't come back for a year and a half. Before she left, let Cuixiang take good care of the young lady and wait for her to come back.

Qian had just become the hostess of the Protector's Mansion, and she easily ignored Li Ying. The rules set by the Prospect clan for Li Ying are now all invalid, and the Qian clan can't control Li Ying's head. She can't manage it, and she doesn't dare to manage it.

If Qian's personal maid hadn't come, she would have saluted Li Ying respectfully, "Miss, my wife is entertaining guests in the flower hall, please come over with me." She added, "It's Madame's mother." ”

"I see, I'll be over in a moment. Li Ying looked at Ruofei in front of him, with a pair of very big floating eyes, delicate and clever, looking at his body bones, like a southerner. Qian's mother's surname is Fang, let's call her Mrs. Fang, and her current destiny is not as high as her daughter's.

If it is not a retirement.

"Miss, if this is not, is there something wrong?" Cuixiang looked at Miss Ruofei and asked puzzled.

Li Ying shook her head, just curious, isn't the Qian family worried about putting such a beautiful maid by her side? Li Ying shook her head again, she believed in her eldest brother and the ancestral teachings of the Li family. The ancestral precept is that if you have no children at forty, you can have a concubine. It seems to be an injustice to men, but it actually prevents family chaos. All the chaos starts from within. If you go outside, you must first settle inside, which is the truth.

Li Ying went to change clothes first, but changed from homely white casual clothes to white dresses for hospitality. Li Ying has to serve filial piety for three years, that is, twenty-seven months.

Walking to the door of the flower hall, Li Ying found that there was no one to guard it, and it was possible that Qian asked the little girl who was guarding the door to get something. Li Ying was about to enter the door, but he heard Fang's loud laughter, and the sharp laughter went straight into people's ears, "Hahahaha, my daughter, you are really lucky, you have been in the door for less than a month, and you are already Mrs. Hou! Your father has been in the officialdom for more than 20 years, I don't dare to think about it."

Although there was no schadenfreude, Li Ying listened uncomfortably, which her father had bought with his life. However, it was unfortunate for Li Kangjing, but Qian was lucky. didn't have a mother-in-law on her head, and became Mrs. Hou.

"Mother, don't say that", Qian stopped, "be quiet." ”

The husband relented and coughed twice.

"Wait a while, Ying'er is here, you have to pay attention", Qian Shi did not instruct.

"Okay, my province's, my province's," Mrs. Fang said impatiently.

Qian looked at his mother like this, and he was helpless.

Mrs. Fang fiddled with her hair ornaments, and suddenly said, "Your little sister-in-law should also be in tune, right?! Hey, you have to keep filial piety for three years, this must not delay her marriage, and she will become an old girl by then, but it is not easy to find a partner!"

Qian said helplessly, "No, no! I mentioned this matter to my husband, and my husband told me not to worry, saying that it was that the woman in Yingdu only got married at eighteen or nineteen, and it was still early, and he wanted to keep his sister-in-law for two more years." ”

"Tut-tut, this can't be done! Yingdu is the rule of Yingdu, but now it's in the capital. The girls in the capital are not married to each other, and they are already optimistic about each other before they get married. Mrs. Fang retorted, "You have to persuade your husband that the woman will not stay, and she will stay and stay as an enemy." ”

Qian was silent.

When Mrs. Fang saw it, she knew that her daughter was unwilling, so she persuaded, "Amu, you listen to me." Marry your sister-in-law early, so that I can rest assured. Looking at your cold-faced sister-in-law, I'm worried that you'll be angry. She sighed again, "You don't know, serving your mother-in-law and sister-in-law is a difficult thing in the world." Your mother and I are from the past, and I have been grinded before. As he spoke, he picked up a handkerchief and wiped away his tears.

Qian watched his mother cry and ripple, after all, he couldn't bear it, "I know, I know." ”

Seeing her daughter nodding, Mrs. Fang immediately burst into tears and laughed.

Cuixiang originally wanted to persuade the young lady not to listen to the indecent manners, and not to look at the indecent ones, but when she heard it, she clenched her fists. On the contrary, Li Ying's face was calm, signaling Cuixiang not to be impulsive. Li Ying walked away with Cuixiang and stopped halfway. After waiting for a while, I saw the little girl guarding the door hurriedly trotting in with a fruit bowl. Li Ying then walked in the direction of the flower hall.

Cuixiang stopped Li Ying, "Miss, let's not go!"

Li Ying shook her head, "Mrs. Fang is just a guest, we also have to pay attention to hospitality!" Looking at Cuixiang's appearance of being wronged for herself, she comforted, "Qian, she doesn't have such a big ability." You don't have to listen to and believe it, you have to see what she will do in the future. Action is the most practical. ”

Cuixiang nodded and followed in Li Ying's footsteps. Suddenly, she felt that the young lady was too sensible. In the past, she was still playing with the little princess in front of Li Dangjing, but now it seems that she has all converged.

The little maid guarding the door saw Li Ying coming from a distance, and hurriedly sang and shouted, "Miss Li Ying is here, hurry, please come in." Ran out of ten steps to greet Li Ying.

As soon as Li Ying entered the door, she was baptized by Mrs. Fang's loud voice, "Oh, I haven't seen you for a long time, Ah Ying seems to have lost a lot of weight", she changed her sad expression and clasped Li Ying's hands, "Poor Ah Ying, it's really ...... to have no father and mother all of a sudden." Before he could say this, he was interrupted by Qian.

"Mother", Qian Shi said busily, "You want Ah Ying to come in and sit down, and we can talk again." gave Mrs. Fang a look, and Mrs. Fang let go of Li Ying stupidly.

Cuixiang was dumbfounded, but she didn't dare to show it. One set in front of people, one set in the back. If she hadn't heard those words just now, at this moment, she would have believed that Mrs. Fang was sincere.

Li Ying sat down as usual.
