Chapter 59 Removal of Uniforms

Like last year, Li Xiaonuan lived on the boat, and in the middle of the night, it began to drizzle, and the rain beat the canopy densely, exuding a hint of coldness and desolation.

Early the next morning, everyone surrounded Li Xiaonuan through the muddy fields, worshiped his parents in the rain, returned to the boat, the boat lady hurriedly untied the cable, set off to rush back, at the end of the winter and a few girls were busy waiting for Li Xiaonuan to change into clean clothes and shoes, Li Xiaonuan held a cup of hot tea, comfortably leaned on the couch in the cabin, and slowly read the book.

The boat girls wore robes, simply propped up the boat very fast, just after the end of the afternoon, they entered Yunpu Town early, stopped the boat at the Yunjian Inn Wharf, and prepared to rest at the inn for a night.

Holding an umbrella at the end of winter, Lan Chu helped Li Xiaonuan, and the group got off the boat, entered through the back door of the inn, and went straight to the small courtyard rented by Steward Liu in advance.

In the drizzle, there was no one on the dock of the Yunjian Inn, and suddenly, a figure flashed quickly behind the stone pile of the bolted cable, his clothes were soaked and sticking to his body, barefoot, closely following a few rough mothers-in-law of the ancient family, slightly bowing his head and following the mother-in-law into the inn, the guy guarding the door of the inn, looked at the woman who was following closely behind, soaked clothes, and looked at each other suspiciously, but did not dare to question.

Li Xiaonuan entered the guest room, Xiaoyu and Qiuye hurriedly went to the back of the courtyard to prepare hot water and pack up things, and waited for Li Xiaonuan to go outside at the end of winter, changed his shoes, and Lan Chu made hot tea and brought it up.

Li Xiaonuan had just sat down, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a soaked, barefoot woman flashed into the house, turned around and hurriedly closed the door, and knelt on the ground with a "plop", panicked and kept kowtowing.

Li Xiaonuan stood up suddenly, Lan Chu and Dong Mo hurriedly blocked in front of Li Xiaonuan, and when they saw the woman who came in kneeling on the ground, they just kowtowed, the two breathed a sigh of relief, their bodies relaxed slightly, and Dong Mo pointed at the woman and scolded:

"What do you do? How did you get here? Don't get out of here."

The woman raised her head, her face covered with stains, and pleaded in a nervous voice:

"Please, girl, take me back to Shangli Town, beg the girl to take me back, and repay the girl by being a cow and a horse in the next life"

"How did you know we went to Kamisato?"

Late Winter asked in surprise,

"The boat where the girl got off has the emblem of the ancient family"

Li Xiaonuan stretched out her hand to pull away Lan Chu, looked at the woman kneeling on the ground, the woman saw Li Xiaonuan poking her head out, hurriedly kowtowed again, moved forward, raised her head, and looked at Li Xiaonuan earnestly, Li Xiaonuan looked her up and down, melon seed face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, eyes are extremely clear, although the face is dirty, the skin is tender and delicate, the birth is extremely bright and beautiful, the fingers are slender and white and tender, although the clothes are wet and dirty, but they are all silk materials with good texture.

"Whose girl are you? How did it end up here? Where's the girl who waits for you? ”

Li Xiaonuan asked in a thin voice, the woman was slightly stunned, bit her lip, looked straight at Li Xiaonuan, and said in a low voice:

"Don't dare to hide it from the girl, my name is Mei'er, I am a girl in the Feihong Mansion in Shangli Town, I was wrapped up in this Yunpu Town to play, I don't want Mei'er to be reckless, I bumped into the benefactor, I took off my shoes, went to the hairpin ring jewelry, and pushed it to the shore, Mei'er had to hide on the dock of this inn, hoping to meet a kind person and take Mei'er back to Shangli Town."

At the end of winter, his eyebrows raised, and he turned to look at Li Xiaonuan, anxious,

"This kind of person is not what the girl should see, so I'm going to call someone and drag her out"

"Wait"

Li Xiaonuan stretched out his hand and grabbed the end of winter,

"It's just a girl, you wait a minute."

At the end of winter, Li Xiaonuan paused to look at the nervous painter, and asked with a smile:

"Which one brought you to this Yunpu Town?"

Hua Mei'er hesitated slightly, and said in a low voice:

"It's the eldest son of the Cheng family of Zhangfu in Yuezhou Mansion."

"You offended him, he asked people to take off your shoes, go to your valuable things, and then drive off the boat, so it will be difficult for you, is he asking you to do something to apologize, and you refuse to do it?"

Hua Mei'er's face turned red, looked at Li Xiaonuan, bit her lip and nodded, and said in a low voice:

"Although we are prostitutes, we are not all faceless"

Li Xiaonuan was stunned, thought for a while and asked:

"Where is that Zhang Gongzi's boat moored now?"

"It's at the cloud dock two miles away."

Li Xiaonuan lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, Zhang's house, it was okay, but her boat returned to Shangli Town and was directly berthed at the Gufu wharf, this painting Meier came out of the Gujia, if people saw it, they were afraid that it would be hindered by the reputation of the Gufu, Li Xiaonuan thought about it, made up her mind, and said with a smile:

"It's not that I don't want to take you back, but it's really inconvenient, this ship leaves this inn dock and goes directly into the inner courtyard of the ancient mansion, or else, so be it."

Li Xiaonuan paused, and under the disappointment of Mei'er, her eyes lit up again, Li Xiaonuan looked at her with a smile and said:

"You take a bath with me, I'll find you a pair of clean clothes and shoes that the mother-in-law wears, you change them, I still have a few taels of broken silver here, you take it out and hire a boat, and let the boat lady send you back to Shangli Town overnight, do you think it?"

Hua Mei'er breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly kowtowed and thanked her, Li Xiaonuan turned her head and ordered the end of winter:

"Sister personally take her to the clean room to bathe, take a set of grandma's clothes and give it to her, you find a suitable pair of shoes for her to wear, and then take two taels of silver for Miss Mei'er to hold, well, let's bring a few snacks for her, all packed up, you quietly send her to the dock behind the inn."

At the end of winter, she bent her knees and agreed, and Hua Mei'er kowtowed again, and followed Late Winter to the back clean room to take a bath with grateful eyes.

Li Xiaonuan leaned on the bed in the guest room, a little restless waiting for the end of winter to come back.

Half an hour later, the end of winter hurriedly entered the house, Lan Chu let her in, hurriedly closed the door, and the end of winter smiled and bent his knees to report:

"It's all right, I sent her to the dock behind this inn, but it happened that there was a boat there, and she was willing to go to Shangli Town, and I watched the boat go before coming back."

Li Xiaonuan breathed a sigh of relief, threw down the book in his hand, stood up, stretched his waist, and said with a smile:

"Okay, don't mention this matter again, just don't have it."

At the end of winter, Lan Chu bent his knees and agreed, Li Xiaonuan walked around the room, relaxed, and continued to read leisurely lying on the bed.

In June, the whole ancient mansion was busy, after the ceremony, that is, in addition to the ceremony, up and down the house, the curtains, furnishings, window screens, clothes and shoes in all parts of the house had to be replaced, and it was busy for more than a month before it was replaced.

Li Xiaonuan sat on the bed wearing a pale yellow soft silk shorts and pants, wrapped in a thin floral crepe silk quilt, reached out and stroked the silk tent hanging in front of the bed, and sighed with satisfaction.

"I just like this stuff made of silk."

At the end of the winter, he laughed and shook his head, and Lan Chu said with a smile:

"I like it too"

The end of winter pushes the beginning of the orchid,

"Go outside and order moxa smokers"

Lan Chu went out with a smile, Li Xiaonuan took a lotus green silk cushion and put it behind him, took a book, and read the book comfortably by the candlelight at the bedside.

The girls in the ancient mansion are also like summer flowers, the colors are bright, and they are filial, and the girls and maids who have reached or passed the age in each courtyard also have to be married, or let go out to marry on their own.

Mrs. Zhou sat in the east wing of Ruixuan Hall, and carefully discussed the marriage of several big girls with Mrs. Li.

“…… Mama Zhou begged me, and wanted me to point out Lan Zhi to Steward Liu's eldest son, called Liu Yuanhai, and now the big tent room in the house is learning to make accounts, and I think the two of them are both of the same age and appearance. ”

Old Madam Li nodded slowly,

"The eldest grandson of Steward Liu? That kid looks good, is this what Mama Zhou means, or does the two families mean? ”

"I asked Mrs. Wang to come in and ask, and Mrs. Wang also agreed, looking at it like that, I can't be more satisfied."

Mrs. Zhou replied with a smile, and Mrs. Li nodded with a smile,

"That's good, although it is the master's family to get married, but it is best for people to be consensual, if it becomes a grudge, a good thing can become a bad thing."

"What the mother said is very true, and the daughter-in-law has written it down."

Mrs. Zhou respectfully agreed, and said a few more girls' marriages, Mrs. Li asked carefully, nodded and agreed, the two discussed the matter of a few big girls' marriages, Mrs. Li straightened up slightly, looked at Mrs. Zhou and said in a low voice:

"These are all trivial things, but Yunshan, she is sixteen this year, you have to pay attention to the family negotiation quickly, and make up your mind, it will take a year or two to prepare the dowry, otherwise it will be in a hurry."

Mrs. Zhou nodded busily,

"What my mother said is that these days, I am also thinking about this and want to discuss it with my mother."

Mrs. Zhou paused, looked at Mrs. Li cautiously, and then said:

"Speaking of which, it's the people in the capital, let's know more about the roots."

"The people in the capital are naturally good, but we are now avoiding our ancestral hometown, and we don't plan to go back to the capital for a while, if we want to say goodbye to Yunshan in the capital, it is inconvenient to come, and second, it is not appropriate, you also know, what we avoid."

Mrs. Zhou's face turned pale, and her face darkened miserably, Old Madam Li glanced at her, sighed, and then said:

"There are also a lot of famous families in these two Zhejiang roads, and there are a lot of people like ours who live in two places in the capital and ancestral home, I have a fancy to two or three, you can listen to it."

Mrs. Li picked up the cup, took a sip of tea slowly, and then said:

"One is the Zhao family in Huzhou, and it is also the family of our two Zhejiang Road, there are countless talents in the door, the current head of the family is Zhao Taifu who has just returned home, I fancy it, it is Zhao Changchen, the eldest son of his family, is the eldest grandson of Zhao Taifu, this Zhao Changchen is seventeen years old this year, last year's examination of the tribute student, I heard that when he was in the capital, he also discussed a few family affairs, he was picky about it, the Zhao family style is rigorous, the rules are heavy, this is an excellent family affair."
