Chapter 52: New Year's Gift
"Who do you say is the ignorant stupid woman in the countryside!" Liu Wenli's face was crimson, "There is still a humility behind the elder and younger, just like the concubine is always a head shorter in front of the concubine, you dare to be rude when you see the master's house, aren't you afraid that my father and mother will blow you out and die outside!" β
Zhao Zhu's eyes froze, and his fingers moved again.
Lu Li hurriedly blocked Zhao Zhu's gaze, signaled him to be quiet, looked at Liu Wenli's eyes with a smile, and was not angry at all, "Could it be that I am really knowledgeable, when will you be able to open your mouth and shut up and scold people?" Cousin, you haven't been engaged yet, and today this word is out, how can you find your in-laws? β
There is no girl who has not been out of the cabinet who is not shy about finding her mother-in-law's house, Lu Li's words attacked Liu Wenli's shortcomings steadily and ruthlessly, and Liu Wenli's angry voice trembled, "What's your business!" β
"Again," Lu Li took a step forward, his face sank, "I told you a long time ago, it's not that I want to live in your house, it's your father and mother who don't want me to leave, as long as you say that your father and mother don't need to be urged, I will leave immediately." Liu Wenli, are you a little too forgetful? β
Hearing this, Liu Wenli sneered and laughed, "Some people think too highly of themselves, I'm afraid they don't know what's going on." Mother Wang, talk to this shameful thing. β
Mother Wang stepped forward, her face smug and colorful, "I want to teach Young Master Lu to know that today is the eighteenth day of the lunar month, and the New Year's gift of the Ping Wangfu has not yet come." Now there is no snow on the ground, no wind on the sky, and the road is easy to walk, and the limousine can't arrive, and it is estimated that it will not be able to arrive this year. β
Liu Wenli raised her chin and said in a mean voice, "Did you hear it, your fiancΓ©e's name is not good for the prince, and the prince doesn't want you anymore!" You've been playing majesticly in my house for ten years, look how you still shake this time! β
"Didn't the New Year's gift of King Ping's Mansion come?" That prince finally decided to quit his family? Lu Li was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes were shining, great! King Ping's power is powerful, if he proposes to withdraw from his family, he doesn't need to think hard about it, it's not too beautiful!
Liu Wenli was stunned when she saw him, thinking that he was afraid, and she was even more confident, "No one will like a person like you who is indiscriminate and camping around, and it is so wise that the prince doesn't want you!" β
Lu Li was happy in his heart, which did not mean that he was willing to quarrel with Liu Wenli. He didn't want to know why Liu Wenli came over again to choke, anyway, his line had been buried, Qin Lurou was already dissatisfied with Liu Wenli, women's affairs were the most chaotic, and one day Liu Wenli would be troubled by Qin Lurou.
Now he just wanted to end the matter quickly, so he simply lowered his voice and threatened, "You came today just to quarrel with me?" Have you forgotten about the twenty-third day of the winter month? β
When he mentioned the twenty-third day of the winter month, Liu Wenli's pupils shrank, and she suddenly remembered that there was this one! This thing has her handle!
"You dare to talk nonsense!" Liu Wenli bit her lip, there was a strong threat in her voice, she paid a few hundred taels of silver for this, Lu Li must not dare to talk nonsense!
Lu Li crossed his arms and touched his chin, "Whether you dare or not, it depends on my mood." I'm not in a pretty mood right now......"
Liu Wenli's body shrank.
When Mother Wang saw Liu Wenli's appearance, she knew that this young lady was afraid that she had a bad past with Lu Li, and it was her chance to come out!
She held Liu Wenli's hand with a solemn expression, "The old slave persuaded Young Master Lu to understand some proportions, and he was angry with Miss, but it is not something that the young master can afford." β
"I'll use you, an old minion, to teach me the rules?" Lu Li sneered, "What's the matter, Mother Wang doesn't think it's enough to break her front teeth?" β
Mother Wang glanced at Zhao Zhu, who had a gloomy expression behind Lu Li, her body tensed, but she thought that this time was different from the past, Lu Li's status had been lost, so she simply straightened her back, "The old slave is not talented, and he also knows that this is the Liu family, not surnamed Lu, no matter how majestic the young master is, Prince Ping didn't give a New Year's gift."
Before the words fell, suddenly a palm wind struck, and her body was swept straight to the wall, and she fell to the ground with a 'snap', with a crisp sound.
She struggled twice and then didn't move, as if she were dead.
Liu Wenli looked at Zhao Zhu who was doing it in a daze, and couldn't take her eyes off.
This man...... So cruel, so domineering, so ...... Handsome!
Zhao Zhu noticed Liu Wenli's gaze, his eyes narrowed slightly and his murderous aura was sharp, Liu Wenli shrank in fright and turned her gaze away.
Lu Li frowned slightly and looked at Zhao Zhu, a little disapproving of his actions. No matter how bad the other party is, she is also a woman with little power, which is not good.
Zhao Shu took it for granted, without any remorse, thinking that there was nothing wrong. A slave is a slave, so that if you don't like it, you can kill and resell it at will, dare to be rude to your master, and it's not too much to feed the dog.
Lu Li suddenly felt tired and didn't want to entangle with Liu Wenli anymore, "Since the Ping Wangfu has not yet sent a New Year's gift and is about to retire, I have lived here enough...... Cousin Lao said to my uncle and aunt, and I also want to change places. β
"You should have known each other like this a long time ago!" Liu Wenli sneered.
"ButβI don't live because I don't want to, cousin, don't get me wrong." Lu Li squinted at Liu Wenli, "This gate of the Liu family, as long as I step out, I will never come back." β
"Phew! Who is rare! Liu Wenli finally achieved some goals today, and she felt a little proud of her eyebrows. I was about to taunt a few more words, when I suddenly saw the eldest girl next to her mother, Xing'er, hurriedly pushed open the door, and a large number of people entered the courtyard, including her mother.
"Mother?" Liu Wenli had a surprise smile on her face, could it be that her mother knew what she was doing and supported her?
She walked briskly, "Why are you hereβ"
Before the words fell, there was a crisp sound of "pop", her cheeks ached, and she involuntarily tilted her head.
"Mother!" Liu Wenli stroked her cheeks and looked at Feng in shock, her mother actually beat her! My mother never hit her!
Feng's willow eyebrows were raised, and he severely reprimanded Liu Wenli, "Li'er is your cousin, how can you be so rude!" β
"What kind of sub-artist is he...... Syllable! Another slap in the face.
Liu Wenli's tears fell, "Mother's ......"
Feng's beautiful eyes closed slightly, suppressed her distress, and eased her voice slightly, "Your cousin is the fiancΓ©e of King Ping, how can he be rude!" β
"But the royal limousine ......"
"It's an adult's business, how can you, a child, be involved? Go while standing! β
Feng's eyes signaled Liu Wenli to be obedient, although Liu Wenli was unwilling, she had always listened to Feng's words, and took a few steps back to stand up.
Feng Shi pinched the handkerchief on his hand, adjusted his expression, and then looked at Lu Li with a smile, and took a few steps forward, "Li'er has just arrived home, are you tired?" How about going out on this trip? You child, don't send a letter when you come back, so that your aunt can send a car to pick you up. β
If you are courteous to others, you will ask for something.
Although Feng did not give gifts, he walked to this desolate courtyard, greeted him cordially, and beat his daughter with his own hands, which was almost impossible for her.
So...... She must have asked for help?
Lu Li's eyes flashed, he smiled with beautiful little tiger teeth, and replied politely, "Because I didn't go far, I didn't dare to say anything for fear of disturbing my aunt." β
"Your child is still a foreigner, and you have lived together for ten years, and your aunt is such an unkind person?"
I have to say that Feng is very good at talking, and she is very good-looking, and she knows how to use her advantages, and she is very kind in a few words, and it is difficult for people to refuse.
"Your cousin is young and ignorant, and I spoiled her in the past. Now it's almost time to get to the end, it's time to discipline strictly, you are an elder brother, you can't overdo it, when your aunt is not free in the future, don't be too troublesome, continue to help......"
In just a few words, Feng Shi transformed the atmosphere into a relaxed and harmonious one, without being stiff at all.
Lu Li kept a light smile and didn't speak, waiting for Feng to clarify his intentions.
It was difficult for him to open his mouth like this, but she was waiting for help, and she couldn't care so much, so she paused for a moment and said, "The New Year's gift of the Ping Wangfu has arrived." β
"It's time for the New Year?" Lu Li frowned, didn't he say he wouldn't come, why did he come again! So do you want to quit your family? It's torture!
He slandered for a long time, put his careful thoughts aside, only to realize that Feng Shi looked at him with a gaze that was a little wrong.
He carefully observed the Xia Feng family.
Feng's skeleton is small, beautiful and gentle, and it is very decent when you see it, but today it is a little different.
She was wearing an apricot red skirt with a silk armor, which was very colorful, so he didn't pay attention for a while, in fact, Feng's spirit was not good. It is not difficult to find that there is blue and black under her eyes, although she has applied powder, she can still see the clues when she is close. There are also obvious red bloodshots in the eyes, the water color is insufficient, and the face is drier and yellow than usual.
Looking at her handkerchief again, one corner was stained with ink. According to the careful Cheng DΓΉ of her character, she couldn't even notice such an obvious stain, which should be very difficult for her to be distracted. As far as he knew, Feng didn't like to practice calligraphy and painting, but often looked at the account books, these ink ...... Is it stained by looking at the account books?
There are pleats on the clothes, and it is obvious that I came to myself without changing them, so anxious......
Lu Li glanced at Liu Wenli, she didn't have any new clothes on her, and her jewelry didn't look like she was preparing for the New Year, Feng Shi was ...... Short of money? What's missing? The New Year's gift of the Ping Wangfu is a charcoal in the fire, she has long been used to it, she should be happy, and she hurriedly found herself to do it......
Oh...... Lu Li squinted his eyes and touched his chin with his hand, he understood that there must have been an accident in the New Year's ceremony, and this accident was related to him.
Put aside the stall with King Ping in advance, the withdrawal of relatives can not be solved in a moment and a half, and there is an opportunity to pinch the Feng family at present, of course you can't let it go.
Lu Li's smile was as bright as the winter sun, "Isn't it okay for my aunt to pick up the New Year's gift?" It's like this every year, and you don't have to tell me this year, I trust my aunt the most. β
Since last month, Lu Li seems to have changed as if he has changed people, and there are many guns and sticks in his words to bury people, Feng Shi has been choked by him once and felt uncomfortable for several days, and this time if he didn't have a way, he wouldn't have sent it to the door for others to step on.
But time has changed, and she really has to tie up with this kid today in order to pass this year.
Feng's silver teeth gritted and endured and endured, as if he didn't hear Lu Li's ridicule, and said with a smile, "The palace steward said that he would only give a New Year's gift if he saw you." She began to praise Lu Li, and if she wanted to make people happy, she might be willing to be obedient, "It can be seen that the prince cares about you very much, and he is afraid that the Liu family will snub you, so he has to let the housekeeper confirm it first." You, even if you have a good fortune, such a good family, such a noble person as your husband, don't forget your aunt when you marry into the Pingwang Mansion in the future, your aunt will have to take care of you! β
Lu Li didn't listen to the coaxing at all, of course, it was also Feng's sycophant patting the horse's hooves, the last thing Lu Li wanted to do was to marry King Ping, so he simply accepted the smile, "What did my aunt coax me to do?" Obviously, King Ping doesn't like me, and he is about to quit with me, everyone in the family knows about this, and my cousin came to scold me for moving out, and I also agreed, I will move out immediately, and I will not go to the door of Liu's house in the future. β
"You believe this tongue-chewing word!" Feng glared at Liu Wenli, and his voice was slow, "Your cousin is not sensible, don't be like him, if you feel wronged and want to leave, then you will take care of your aunt wherever you go, no matter what, your aunt will not do that conscience-losing thing sorry sister!" β
"This family affair was ordered by your mother, the prince will not regret it, you should also follow your mother's will, and you can't let her be sad underground......"
Lu Li glanced at Feng, Feng's expression was quiet, as if he didn't mean to say it, in fact, he deliberately brought it up, and pressed him with his dead mother, if he was a filial person, he should know what to do.
And the predecessor has always been very filial......
Lu Li snorted coldly in his heart, and continued with the words, "Speaking of which, I was too young when my mother died, I didn't remember what she looked like, and I didn't even have anything to think about. If I could have a memory or two of my mother's relics, my mood probably wouldn't be so intense......"
Feng Shi shook his hand. This kid is on his nose and face, and he wants Miao's relics!
She didn't want to give it all the time, but she also used this to pinch Lu Li, and leash him for a long time, don't run around, don't talk nonsense, and ensure that she can marry him to the palace. Now it seems that if you don't give a little, this kid will not be obedient......
Feng Shi thought for a while, and said with a difficult face, "What does your mother mean, when you go out, I will give you things...... My aunt has always remembered that I didn't dare to disobey my sister's will, but seeing you miss your deceased mother every day, my aunt is also very distressed...... It's better to give you half of it than this, and my aunt will give you half of it. In this way, you have a relic to remember, and your aunt is not against your sister's will. β
Today's incident is an unexpected surprise, Lu Li didn't think that he had to take this opportunity to restrain Feng, Feng is a person with a very good idea, no matter how difficult things are, he will carefully weigh them, and the result may not be good if he takes too much.
Moreover, he was also very curious about this New Year's gift.
With a decision in his heart, he looked at Liu Wenli and then at Wang's mother.
Feng Shi immediately said, "Li'er is disrespectful to you, and you will be punished by your aunt's family law, with ten canes, and you can only leave the room after being grounded for a month." As for Mother Wang, the slave bully, such a slave Liu family would not dare to use it. β
Lu Li stood in place for a long time before he reluctantly said, "Since my aunt has asked for help, although I am apprehensive, I dare to see this palace steward." β
Feng Shi was immediately overjoyed and waved for people to invite.
The steward arrived soon, and he didn't see anyone in the small courtyard, but first saw Zhao Zhu, who was standing behind a young man next to the door of the room, tall and strong, with a sharp momentum, and a murderous aura.
Mother, how could the prince be here!
The steward's knees weakened and he knelt down, "The little one has seen the prince-" made a strategy
