Chapter Eighty-Seven: Bad Water
Late Winter shook his head gently,
"If you can't get out of your naturalization, I haven't thought about it, what can you do if you get out of your naturalization? Not to mention the difficult days outside, without the master, do you really think you will become the master? Flat-headed people, anyone can be bullied a few times, you can only endure it, I don't have any ability, and I don't have that ambition, I will follow the girl in this life, and when the girl gets married, I will go with the past to be a companion, anyway, I will not leave the girl. ”
Li Xiaonuan was stunned, tilted his head to look at the end of winter, and said with a smile:
"I think about it, I still owe you ten taels of silver a month, and I don't know if I can pay it back in the future."
At the end of winter, he was stunned, and then he remembered this old saying, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh, nodding his head again and again and said:
"That's what I'm thinking about, and I can't leave the girl anyway, otherwise, who will give me the ten taels of silver a month?"
Li Xiaonuan laughed for a while before continuing:
"If that's the case, then the Sun family doesn't need to mention it, besides, if the Sun family is the eldest son, it's okay, the second son, forget it."
The end of the winter smiled and nodded, Li Xiaonuan thought about it, and then said:
"The other two, the family background is almost the same, it depends on the person, this person didn't see it, I don't dare to comment indiscriminately, so let's talk to the ancestor tomorrow, let these two people come in and take a look, how about it?"
"This matter is still going to alarm the old ancestor?"
At the end of winter, he was a little anxious, Li Xiaonuan nodded seriously,
"Such an important matter, naturally you have to be cautious, if the ancestor is willing to help you take a look, it will be even better, the ancestor must be more accurate than me."
The end of the winter thought about it, nodded writhingly, and said in a low voice:
"The girl is quiet, don't let others know."
"Don't worry."
Li Xiaonuan agreed with a smile.
The next day, Li Xiaonuan found an opportunity to tell Mrs. Li about the end of winter, Mrs. Li was very interested, called the two of them to come over and asked carefully for half an hour, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly found a little girl to call the end of the winter, Cuilian gossiped and enthusiastically accompanied the end of the winter to hide behind the screen, and also followed for half an hour.
When I returned to Songfeng Courtyard in the evening, my face was crimson at the end of winter, I sent Xiaoyu and others away, and waited for Li Xiaonuan to bathe and wash alone, Li Xiaonuan soaked in the bucket and asked with a smile:
"Which one do you fancy? Tell me about it first. ”
"I listen to the girl."
Said with a red face at the end of winter, Li Xiaonuan laughed,
"I naturally have an idea for you, so you have to tell me first, which one do you think is better?"
At the end of winter, Ai Ai whispered:
"I ...... Listen to the girl, it's all good. ”
"It's all good,"
Li Xiaonuan dragged a long voice, as if embarrassed,
"If you marry both, it doesn't seem to be easy, but it's difficult."
Stamping up at the end of winter,
"The girl is not serious again"
Li Xiaonuan leaned back on the bucket and laughed,
"Well, it seems...... Not like ...... Said fat. ”
At the end of winter, he tried to pretend to be casual, Li Xiaonuan raised his eyebrows, and turned his head to look at the end of winter,
"The end of winter is really good, you can see at a glance that it's not as fat as you say, who isn't as fat as you say?"
"The girl is really"
At the end of winter, his face was flushed with shame, and he was a little anxious, Li Xiaonuan smiled enough, and then said slowly:
"My ancestor and I, like you, have taken a fancy to that Ruan Dafu, that Ruan Dafu, he is a little richer, but he is not fat, but,"
Li Xiaonuan paused, and then said with a smile:
"There aren't many cooks who aren't fat, and if you let him work more and eat less in the future, he will probably be better. That Ruan Dafu, looking at the face is a kind-hearted person, not much to say, but can say everything on the point, the ancestor is satisfied, so he asked people to go to Yunshui to inquire again, all said that he is popular, capable and willing to endure hardships, the account is very clear, has been helping the chef to manage the dishes and sparse the account, I think he is a good temper, generous and gentle, you are a little anxious, you have to find a good temper, can be treated, in the future you can live a comfortable life. ”
Listening carefully at the end of winter, she nodded hurriedly, Li Xiaonuan looked at her with a smile in her eyes, and then said:
"That Wu Qiming, everything is excellent, but it is too good, people's temperament is a little high, the ancestor said that looking at his face, some of his natural coldness looks, I can't see this, I just think that his heart is too high, his heart is too high, and there will be many unsatisfactory places in the future, and he will feel unsatisfactory from time to time, such a day is uncomfortable regardless of whether he is rich or poor."
The end of the winter thought for a while, and said in a low voice:
"What the girl said is, this person, I know enough, I listen to the girl."
Li Xiaonuan sighed, gently patted the water with his hand and sighed:
"Someone snatched the best and most powerful person around me, and I still have to help him with someone and money, what kind of world is this?"
At the end of winter, she was stunned, and only reacted half-loudly, laughed out loud, straightened up, no longer answered Li Xiaonuan's words, and helped her wash her hair neatly.
Li Xiaonuan sighed for a long time, waited for the end of winter to wash her hair, and rolled it loosely, before turning his head to look at the end of winter and asking:
"When are you going to get married? Your dowry, everything else is easy to do, that is, those embroideries, it will take some time, from Ming'er, let Lan Chu help you embroider together, in our yard, she can get by with needlework, in fact, Mama Wei's needlework is the best, but unfortunately she has been busy in the embroidery workshop, and she is not empty. ”
"My mother embroidered these things a few years ago, and it's pretty much the same."
At the end of winter, he said in a low voice, Li Xiaonuan raised his eyebrows, nodded, thought about it, and said with a smile:
"The ancestor said, your dowry, she will give you a reward according to Cuilian's example, so be it on the dowry, no more, it's not good to overpower Cuilian, I'll give you two hundred taels of silver to press the bottom of the box, this, you have to make a fortune in a muffled voice, but you can't say it."
At the end of winter, his eyes were shining and moist, and his subordinates kept rubbing Li Xiaonuan's body while whispering:
"If my mother hears that the ancestor will accompany me to give a dowry according to Cuilian's example, I am afraid that I will wake up laughing at night with joy, the girl doesn't know, the ancestor has always been generous, a few close girls get married, and the dowry that accompanies the dowry is not comparable to the ladies of the general rich and noble families, besides, don't mention the silver, just this decent, there are few people in the house who can get it, with this, everything is enough, the two hundred taels of silver, the girl don't give it."
At the end of winter, he looked at Li Xiaonuan sincerely, and then said:
"There is no impermeable wall, if the matter of these two hundred taels of silver spreads, wouldn't it become a girl and lose face to the ancestors? Anyone who knows, they have to say that the girl is not sensible, where can she do it? Besides, if I really don't have any money, come to the girl, and the girl can use my silver less? If the girl wants to reward me with silver, there will be more opportunities in the future, but she will not give it at this time. ”
Li Xiaonuan looked at the end of winter in a daze, tears suddenly welled up, and he nodded with a smile, his voice was a little choked,
"You're right, I didn't think it through, Sister Late Winter, I really can't bear you to go."
At the end of winter, the tears also fell one by one, and he hurriedly wiped Li Xiaonuan's tears with a cotton handkerchief, and comforted him with a smile:
"The girl drove me away, and I couldn't go, I haven't gotten the ten taels of silver per month, I haven't gotten it yet, and I'm still following the girl on an errand."
Li Xiaonuan nodded with a smile.
After a few days, Mrs. Li asked the outsiders to send more than a dozen little girls about ten years old in, and asked Tingbo to choose more than a dozen children from the family who were about ten years old in the house, and sent them to Songfeng Courtyard together, and told Li Xiaonuan to pick some girls to call.
The girl in the Songfeng Courtyard, Xiaoyu and Xiuwen have been married years ago, and now there are only three left: the end of winter, the beginning of Lan and the autumn leaves, fortunately, Li Xiaonuan is free to be frugal in everything, and more than half of the time is in Ruixuan Hall, and the three of them are also busy, but outside the year, they will get married at the end of winter, and the autumn leaves are the same age as the end of winter, and they are also going to get married.
Li Xiaonuan followed the meaning of Mrs. Li, carefully selected four little girls from more than 30 girls, two outsiders sent in, two children from the family, all handed over to the end of the winter ****, around the end of the winter, after thinking about it, Li Xiaonuan, and handed over the person to Lan Chu to ****, and he only watched from the side.
When the autumn is getting stronger, the chrysanthemums in the back garden of the ancient mansion bloom extraordinarily brilliantly, when the crabs are fat in September, Gu Yunhuan invited Li Xiaonuan to go to the garden to taste the crabs and appreciate the chrysanthemums, the two walked around the garden, Gu Yunhuan either thought this place was calm, or that place was cool, picked and picked, or went to the Songfeng Courtyard, the two of them admired the chrysanthemums scattered all over the yard under the eaves corridor, and slowly ate the crabs.
Gu Yunhuan was in a trance, and gradually became depressed again, Li Xiaonuan sighed secretly, listening to the meaning of the ancestor, Gu Yunhuan and Runan Wangfu are only afraid that it will be difficult to achieve, if this is the case, you have to think of ways to persuade her, and if she continues to indulge like this, it will not be good.
Li Xiaonuan turned her head and looked at Gu Yunhuan thoughtfully, how many times had she met Cheng Ke, and how much did she know about him? The lover in her girl's feelings, I'm afraid that most of the ingredients of her own imagination are the majority, since it is mostly imagination, then, imagination can be incomparably beautiful, and naturally it can also be incomparably ugly.
Li Xiaonuan squinted her eyes slightly, slowly pondered for a while, turned around, motioned for Lan Chu to retreat with the little girl, looked at Gu Yunhuan with a smile and said:
"The candied fruit of the Runan Palace, there is really no sour taste at all."
Gu Yunhuan straightened up slightly, his interest increased, and he nodded and said:
"No, it's really not sour at all, and I don't know how to make it."
"It's simple, I asked her mother at the end of the winter, saying that it's okay to soak it in honey, it's strange that the young master likes to eat such sweet things."
Gu Yunhuan's body moved slightly, his eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and he said with a smile:
"I didn't notice that he liked to eat these things."
