Chapter 197: The Festival
Chapter 197 Festival
"Hmm."
Cheng Ke hugged Li Xiaonuan, leaned on the pillow, his face gradually became solemn, turned his head to look at Li Xiaonuan, and said in a low voice:
"Xiaojing's temper, his backyard, I'm afraid that right and wrong are indispensable in the future, let's stay away, my father also said this, now my aunt is in the palace, as long as there are no accidents, they are very stable, Xiaojing and I have grown up together, at least in the past 20 years, you don't have to think about it."
Li Xiaonuan listened intently to Cheng Ke's fragmentary words, nodded slowly, and promised in a low voice,
"yes, I see."
"King Jing's Mansion needs to add some happy events now, that is, in the past few months, the Sun family and the Dai family should have a happy news to come out, once they have children, ......"
Cheng Ke paused, turned his head to look at Li Xiaonuan, and his voice was almost inaudible,
"It's nothing for a while, maybe it's going to be in the future, naturally everyone has their own thoughts, Princess Jing,"
Cheng Ke paused and said in a deep voice:
"Meng Guogong's family is the ancient Wang clan of the Yuanhui Dynasty, Princess Jing's brothers are all competitive, Princess Jing is okay, the Sun family and the Dai family are happy, King Jing's mansion is afraid that they will have to carry people in, and there are already people who have already been selected and prepared."
Li Xiaonuan sighed with pity on her face,
"King Jing's backyard, what kind of chaos has to become! Alas!"
"It's not messy, what's so messy? Which one isn't like this? As long as you follow the rules, there's nothing to mess with. ”
Cheng Ke said nonchalantly, Li Xiaonuan looked at him speechlessly, slowly raised his eyebrows, leaned into his ear, and asked in a low voice:
"When I was in the Gu family before, I heard that my father had more than one concubine, but now there is only one Xu family waiting with him, is it a rumor or a ......?"
"Hmm."
Cheng Ke slowly rubbed Li Xiaonuan's earlobe, and said casually:
"There is a famous aunt around my father, there are four before and after, the first two, one surnamed Cao, one surnamed Yang, was originally a big girl in my father's house, my mother carried my aunt after entering the door, the aunt surnamed Cao died many years ago, Aunt Yang is still living in Xirong Courtyard now, and there is an aunt, surnamed Chen, who was originally a maid next to her mother, who has been sick for many years, and has been taken care of by Aunt Yang, raised in Xirong Hospital, Aunt Chen gave birth to a child, or a boy, grew up to half a year old, and died of illness."
When he was half a year old, he contracted the disease and died? Li Xiaonuan was puzzled and was about to ask carefully, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, what are you doing about this?
Cheng Ke paused, and then said:
"There is another one, that is, Aunt Xu, who is also my mother's maidservant, my mother is in charge, and she is an aunt to her father, and she is also Xuyi's biological mother."
Li Xiaonuan nodded slowly, her mood was depressed and depressed, and she lay on Cheng Ke's chest a little listlessly, losing her interest in talking.
Cheng Ke raised his head slightly, looked at Li Xiaonuan, laughed, stretched out his hand to scratch her cheek, and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, the two of us, just me and you, if you don't like it, we don't want those concubines to have a room, you are jealous, it's really ...... Alas!"
Cheng Ke laughed and sighed heavily, Li Xiaonuan raised his head, looked at Cheng Ke, and was silent for a long time before he said in a low voice:
"Now, I believe you."
"What do you mean by this? Will you not believe it after a while? ”
"That day, the master told me that even if I know that the end is the end, I must walk through it and take a good look at the scenery on the road."
Li Xiaonuan stretched out her fingers, pressed Cheng Ke's lips, and said slowly:
"Even if you know how to do it in the future, let's be together today, if we can be happy for a day, then have a good and happy day, next to it, I don't want to think about it now, let's talk about it then, life can always go on."
Cheng Ke straightened up, looked down at Li Xiaonuan lying in his arms, and was stunned for a long time, speechless for a while.
She was always cautious like a fox on ice, listening to the movements around her with her ears open, but if there was the slightest mistake, she was ready to escape.
Cheng Ke sighed heavily and patted Li Xiaonuan's back gently, he had guarded her for so many years before he kept her by his side, and he couldn't let her escape anymore no matter what.
At the end of Shen, Li Xiaonuan watched people clean up the flower hall in the front yard, set up a red copper hot pot, and used it as a place for Cheng Ke and Zhou Jingran to feast and drink, and chose a warm pavilion in the inner courtyard to let people clean it up, set up a hot pot, and prepare for himself and Sun's dinner.
Seeing that the people were almost cleaned up, I went to the kitchen to personally watch the people prepare the ingredients for the hot pot, and prepared a few cold dishes with fresh wild vegetables, and watched the people prepare four or five kinds of dim sum and various porridges, and saw that everything was in order, so I breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled Cheng Ke to look everywhere, and then told my mother-in-law to go to the Mid-Mountain Residence to invite King Jing and Sun.
Li Xiaonuan welcomed Sun in the weeping flower gate, and Sun greeted Li Xiaonuan politely and went to the cloak in the warm pavilion.
Li Xiaonuan went up and let Sun's head go, Sun insisted on sitting down, Li Xiaonuan sat opposite Sun, and said with a smile:
"First, we live in this village in the countryside, and second, I don't know those etiquette, so let's eat and talk at will, okay?"
Sun nodded again and again in agreement,
"It's the best of those rules, and it's the most uncomfortable."
Li Xiaonuan's eyes were full of smiles, this Sun family is really fresh and cute.
The girl's mother-in-law sent all kinds of ingredients in, Zhu Qing and Yu cleaned their hands, took long chopsticks, and were about to come over to wait for the hot pot, Li Xiaonuan turned her head to look at Sun, and asked with a smile:
"You usually eat this at home, do you eat it yourself, or do the girls wait to eat it?"
Sun looked at Zhu Qing, who was putting slices of roe deer meat in the copper pot, and said hesitantly:
"Usually at home, I do it myself, and I also give my mother shabu, this, it's better to do it yourself."
Sun's voice gradually lowered, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop the bamboo green and jade buttons, and said with a long sigh of relief:
"I think so too, this hot pot, in fact, is really delicious when you eat it yourself, let's eat it ourselves, and eat it as much as you want."
Sun's smile overflowed all over his face, his expression jumped up, Li Xiaonuan stood up, looked at Sun, and said with a smile:
"My clothes, the sleeves are not convenient, anyway, it's warm in this house, so I'll go to this big coat outside, sister, don't blame me for being rude."
Sun's face relaxed and casually got up, and then stood up,
"I'm going to go for big clothes too"
The girl came up and waited for the two of them to go to the outside clothes, only wearing a small jacket and trousers, Li Xiaonuan simply asked people to move the hot pot to the couch and put a few big pillows, how comfortable and comfortable the two sat down, each picked what they liked to eat, and ate it in the hot pot.
After eating two bites, Li Xiaonuan put down his chopsticks and commanded with a smile:
"I almost forgot, there's still wine, let's have a few drinks"
Sun's face was full of salivation, and he was about to nod in agreement, but he stopped stiffly, looked at Li Xiaonuan, shook his head, and said in a low voice:
"Forget it, if you get drunk, you're going to be annoyed."
Li Xiaonuan's heart sank slightly, nodded, and diverted the topic,
"Today happened to hunt roe deer, otherwise, let's use fish soup as the base and shabu mutton, just a 'fresh' word"
"It's not, the fish and sheep are fresh, but unfortunately the taste is a little heavier......"
The two talked and laughed, eating hot pot, Zhu Qing brought up the chilled pomegranate juice, the two were full, leaned on the couch, watched the girl clean up, drank tea slowly, just gossiped for a while, the mother-in-law came in to report, and Zhou Jingran outside was ready to go back.
Li Xiaonuan hurriedly asked someone to come in with a wet handkerchief, Sun hurriedly cleaned his hands and face, hurriedly got dressed, and didn't have time to say goodbye to Li Xiaonuan, so he hurriedly ran out with the girl's mother-in-law.
Li Xiaonuan wrapped her cloak and sent her out, watching her rush out of the weeping flower door and run out, looking at it sadly for a long time, before slowly turning around and going back to the main house along the verandah.
When you are a girl, you are the treasure in the palm of your parents, the flesh of your heart, like a jewel, and when you get married, you have to wait for your husband and in-laws with trembling...... To do without yourself
Li Xiaonuan sighed and turned back to the main house, and didn't wait for Cheng Ke to come in, and went straight in to take a bath and wash.
Li Xiaonuan bathed cleanly, instructed Zhuqing to take out the half-used clothes and pants that he was familiar with and wear, and let the jade button follow the habits before the marriage, loosely braided his hair, and turned out of the clean room.
Cheng Ke had already bathed and washed, wearing a white silk shirt and pants, and was crooked on the couch flipping through a letter, when he saw Li Xiaonuan braided his hair and came out in half-used clothes, he blinked his eyes and looked stunned.
Li Xiaonuan looked at Cheng Ke with a stunned face, and became a little inexplicable,
"What's wrong with you? What's wrong? ”
Cheng Ke coughed a few times, hurriedly turned his head, and held up the letter in his hand,
"It's okay, it's okay, there's nothing wrong"
Li Xiaonuan looked at Cheng Ke suspiciously, Cheng Ke hurriedly stuffed the letter in his hand back into the box, covered the box indiscriminately, jumped off the bed, bent down to pick up Li Xiaonuan, and leaned over Li Xiaonuan's ear while walking to the inner room, and whispered:
"Let's rest, I miss you, I think it is uncomfortable."
Early the next morning, Li Xiaonuan was sore and soft, lying on the bed, no matter how Cheng Ke coaxed, he just refused to get up, and pushed Cheng Ke vaguely,
“…… You guys go hunting, I'm sick, you toss me**** I'm tired and sick, I'm asleep...... Don't go ......."
Cheng Ke half-pressed Li Xiaonuan, his fingers slid down her back to her waist, sighed with satisfaction, and said in a low voice:
"You're really not going? Well, you rest, I'll go hunting with Xiaojing, I'll hunt a fox for you and come back, take the skin to make clothes to wear? ”
"Uh-huh."
Li Xiaonuan agreed indiscriminately, pushing Cheng Ke with his hand,
"You hurry up, I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep......"
Cheng Ke reluctantly sat up, leaned down again, put it next to Li Xiaonuan's ear, gently bit Li Xiaonuan's ear, and whispered while laughing:
"You have a good rest, in the evening, let's try something else......"
Li Xiaonuan turned his head sideways, stretched out his hand to push Cheng Ke away, and pulled the quilt over his head
Girls, before getting married, were pearls, how did they become fish-eyed when they got married? Baoyu's words, men's sighs, women's sadness, who will say, how did they become fish eyes?
