Chapter 283 Hi

Li Xiaonuan turned his head to look at Cheng Ke, Cheng Ke was wide-eyed, listening to Qianyue's reply outside the curtain with admiration, this Qianyue really inquired about the girls in the house! Seeing Li Xiaonuan looking at him, he hurriedly turned his head and said with a smile:

"I've seen this Lin Huaiye a few times, it's a rare one, and he deserves it."

Li Xiaonuan breathed a sigh of relief, raised his eyebrows, Nunu mouthed, and motioned to Cheng Ke to instruct Qianyue, Cheng Ke's interest suddenly rose, coughed lightly, and commanded in a deep voice:

"Thank you for your hard work, there is still a messenger, it is very important, you have to do it quickly, you have to do it well, Yuanshan and Luochuan should get married, and both of them also have a favorite person, that is, the bamboo leaves and bamboo green around the young lady, these two happy events, I will hand them over to you Zhang Luo, you remember, it is not a marriage, it is according to the marriage rules of ordinary people, three media and six ceremonies, one can not be missing, this big matchmaker, you also do it together, and when you go out later, you will go to Yuanshan and Luochuan first, and go out of fifteen, just hurry up and Zhang Luo up, change Geng post, and make a small decision, There are a lot of serious things, so it's hard for you, and when you get married, let the two of them thank you well. ”

Qian Yue raised her head violently, opened her eyes wide, and looked at Cheng Ke and Li Xiaonuan who were blurred in the silk curtain in amazement, and reacted instantly, and hurriedly shouted:

"Let me be a matchmaker!? This will not work! How is this going to work?!I ......"

"You're the best! Hurry up and spread the word first, this matter must be done, go ahead. ”

Cheng Ke interrupted Qianyue's words, and resolutely waved his hand and ordered,

"can be a matchmaker, but a person who is respected by both families, you see, the prince has been a matchmaker several times, this matter is not wronged by you."

Li Xiaonuan smiled and answered,

"Master! Not for that, I ......"

"What are you? Who better fit than you? Okay, let's go down and spread the word, and let the two of them treat you to a drink. ”

Cheng Ke didn't allow Qianyue to say any more, waved his hand again and again, Qianyue swallowed his saliva heavily, rubbed out of Qinglian Courtyard with a distressed face, and went to the outer courtyard to find Yuanshan and Luochuan to pass the word.

On the fifth day of the first month, it was the day of hospitality in Runan Palace, Li Xiaonuan got up before dawn, first took Lan Chu and Tian Mama, sat in a sedan chair to check everywhere, returned to Qinglian Courtyard, Cheng Ke had already left, Li Xiaonuan had breakfast alone, changed into a pink purple forging tight-fitting jacket, a white background embroidered dark purple floral wide skirt, tied a dark purple palace silk, and wore a dark purple silk white fox cloak, out of Qinglian Courtyard, to the main courtyard.

At the end of the morning, the cars of the ladies of each family arrived outside the second gate one after another, and Li Xiaonuan stood in the second gate with the maiden mother-in-law, smiling and politely greeting the ladies and ladies of each family.

Mrs. Zhenninghou arrived the earliest, got out of the car, saw Li Xiaonuan, and greeted her affectionately, took Li Xiaonuan's hand, and said a few homely words enthusiastically, seeing that the car of Mrs. Yao Guo and Mrs. Yan Chengxiang arrived, she hurriedly signaled Li Xiaonuan, and followed the mother-in-law who was entertaining guests to the flower hall inside.

Mrs. Yan Cheng's car was in front, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly took a few steps forward and helped Mrs. Yan Chengxiang get out of the car, Mrs. Yan Chengxiang was full of smiles, looking Li Xiaonuan up and down,

"I haven't seen you for a while, and I wanted to ask you to come to our house to play for a day, but when I think about it, your mother-in-law is the most lazy, this is the New Year, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."

"Madame thinks of it, you should send someone to call me, so that I can hide by Madame's side for a day with this!"

Li Xiaonuan helped Mrs. Yan Cheng, and replied with regret, Mrs. Yan Chengxiang laughed loudly, stretched out her hand and patted her arm,

"It's not this reason, if you want to be lazy in the future, just tell me, I'll pick you up every day to play, you kid, it's more painful than Wan'er."

Li Xiaonuan smiled and sent a few steps, watched the hospitality's mother-in-law lead Mrs. Yan Cheng in, and then came back, greeted Mrs. Yao Guo with a bow on her knees, and thanked politely:

"I'll ask you for a free run, those books are excellent, I can't even put them down."

Duchess Yao Guo's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, the smile on her face suddenly brightened, and she stretched out her hand to pull Li Xiaonuan,

"If the princess likes me, I'm relieved, come,"

Duchess Yao Guo turned around and called Miss Yao Si, who was following closely behind her,

"Hurry up and give the princess a salute, this is because the princess loves you."

Miss Yao Si bent her knees deeply with joy on her face, Li Xiaonuan smiled and raised her hand to signal, and turned her head to look at Duchess Yao Guo,

"A good girl like Miss Four, whoever sees it loves it, Madame will go first for a cup of tea, and when we are free later, we will talk again."

Duchess Yao Guo agreed again and again with joy in her eyes, said goodbye to Li Xiaonuan, and followed her mother-in-law to the back flower hall.

Li Xiaonuan stood in the second gate, greeted the ladies of the family, and let everyone go to the flower hall, until the time was right, to see that the people were almost there, and then took the girls and women to the flower hall with sore legs.

There is a stage in front of the flower hall, and a new miscellaneous drama is being staged lively, Li Xiaonuan looked at the clown on the stage from a distance bending his legs, squeezing his eyebrows and pretending to be a dwarf, pausing slightly, Zhu Qing followed Li Xiaonuan's eyes, and explained with a smile:

"This is called dwarf gong, I heard that it is extremely difficult to practice, and the troupe invited by our house is the best at this."

Li Xiaonuan let out a soft 'um', turned his eyes to look at the pianist drummers behind the stage whose hands and faces were red from the cold, turned his head to look at Zhu Qing and asked:

"What kind of food is prepared for the troupe in the kitchen?"

Zhu Qing was slightly stunned, turned her head to look at the mother-in-law who followed behind her, and the mother-in-law was busy taking half a step forward and replied with a smile:

"Mrs. Hui, as usual, pick some good dishes for them to eat if there are more dishes in the kitchen or those that have been taken down."

Li Xiaonuan looked at the stage from afar, sighed secretly, turned her head and instructed her mother-in-law,

"That's all cold dishes, you go to the kitchen to spread the word, let them make a few pots and send them to the troupe, the extra dishes can be used, don't use the leftovers, make them sumptier, and let the charcoal house send a few more charcoal pots to the stage, and then invite the troupe to the New Year in the back house, just like this example."

The mother-in-law respectfully agreed, and hurriedly ran down to pass the word.

Zhu Qing tilted his head to look at Li Xiaonuan, and said with a smile:

"The drama is the same as the prostitute, they are outside, and in other mansions, they are far worse than ours, and the young lady is always more merciful than others."

"I'm not compassionate, I'm just out of sight, and I don't want to see suffering."

Zhu Qing looked at Li Xiaonuan with some puzzlement, and Li Xiaonuan patiently explained:

"For example, just now, let's look at those plays, cold like that, and eat some cold dishes, the face must be bad, instead of this, it is better to send two charcoal basins and send some hot meals to make them more comfortable, then the complexion must be much happier, right? We don't care about those pots of charcoal and a little bit of food, and we exchange our eyes full of joy with things we don't care about, what's wrong?!"

Zhu Qing smiled and nodded,

"What the young lady said is very true, but we have earned it."

The group entered the noisy flower hall, Li Xiaonuan smiled and greeted politely all the way, and went to the main table in the innermost part of the east of the flower hall.

Li Xiaonuan stood beside the main table, waiting attentively for the princess and the old ladies at the main table, while paying attention to other places, nervously and busily waiting to entertain everyone.

At the end of the banquet, the girls shuttled back and forth, quickly cleaned up the flower hall, set the table again, served tea and snacks, and some of the female dependents began to get up one after another to say goodbye, Li Xiaonuan was busy sending out the female dependents of each family, some nodded goodbye, some were sent to the door of the flower hall, and some were sent directly out of the flower hall dozens of steps......

The few female dependents who stayed behind were in groups of three or five, more than half of them sat around the princess group, gossiping, some found a comfortable corner, sat and gossiped, and some gathered in front of the stage, watching the drama intently, probably wanting to go back after watching the play.

Li Xiaonuan looked at a quiet flower hall, breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly moved to the inverted seat room next to him, Zhu Qing had already led someone to prepare the meal, Li Xiaonuan sat down, drank half a bowl of soup, and put it down after eating a few mouthfuls of food, Zhu Qing watched the movement in the flower hall while probing his head, and persuaded with a smile:

"It's not too late for the young lady to take a break and then go over, I'll let the cicada wings and jade plates listen to the movement in the flower hall."

"Hmm."

Li Xiaonuan agreed, drank a cup of tea slowly, rested for a while, stood up and went to the flower hall.

The fourth lady of the Yao family sat in front of the stage, listening attentively to the play, twisting her eyebrows for a while and laughing for a while, Li Xiaonuan looked at it from a distance and smiled, in the end, it was the little girl's house, even if she had something on her mind, it was just for a while.

Duchess Yao Guo attached herself to the outermost part of the princess's circle, holding a cup in her hand, as if she was listening to everyone's gossip very intently, but her eyes kept slipping to the door of the flower hall, seeing Li Xiaonuan coming in, she hurriedly put down the cup in her hand, and was about to stand up, but she hurriedly paused, as if she was just moving and sat back steadily, picked up the empty cup, stared at Li Xiaonuan, and put the cup to her mouth and sipped it.

Li Xiaonuan looked at a few piles of women watching the play and gossiping from a distance, and instructed the maid to serve a few pots of new tea, change a few snacks, and let people send soup in.

“…… Our grandfather came back a few days ago, saying that he had seen the eldest young master of the Lin family who was good friends with the third son of the Tang family, and praised him a few times, what kind of character is good, he is good at learning, he has a good temper, and he looks good, but he is good everywhere. ”

"The Lin family?"

Duchess Yao Guo couldn't react for a while which Lin family this Lin family was,

"It's the Weiyuan Hou Lin family, this young master Lin said that he was the eldest son of the second room, what is Lin Huaiye, our lord usually praises anyone."

Li Xiaonuan looked at Mrs. Yao Guo carefully while talking, Mrs. Yao Guo thought about it carefully, looked at Li Xiaonuan and smiled,

"I also remembered, it's the son of Lord Lin, the squire of the Criminal Department."

At this time, the sun is shining outside the window of the player, and it is really happy to be able to bask in the sun in winter.

Well, if there is a reward for the powder, it will be the icing on the cake.
