I haven't been in the Li Mansion for a year, and it has changed a lot. Not only have the houses been widened, but many places have changed greatly.

Yue Yao entered the study, only to find that the study had also doubled in size, and the layout of the room had changed. Three rows of large bookshelves are neatly arranged on the north side, one row of shelves is full of books, a row of shelves are placed with objects such as inkstones and brocade boxes, and a row of household assets are placed with gold, jade and other objects, all of which show its elegance and exquisiteness.

Li Guoxin looked at Yue Yao and said, "Yue Yao, I have always treated you as a daughter. Li Guoxun had thought about taking Yueyao to Li's Mansion before, but Yueyao chose Mafu by herself, and he knew that Ma Chengteng also really felt sorry for Yueyao so he gave up this idea.

When Yue Yao heard this, she knew that Li Guoxun had something to ask her, and Yue Yao said sincerely: "Uncle, you are the person Yue Yao respects the most. "Without Li Guoxun's careful teaching, Tingzheng would not have been able to grow so well, and if she was to teach Tingzheng herself, she would basically have to teach crookedly.

Li Guoxun's face softened a lot, "Yueyao, then can you tell me, where have you been in the past few months?" Li Guoxun is not the kind of person who is curious and likes to get to the bottom of it, but he feels that he needs to ask about this matter.

Yueyao's heart was shocked, and her mind turned quickly, "Uncle, I went out to pick up the scenery in those months. This reason was already thought of by Yueyao.

Li Guoxun looked at Yue Yao steadily.

Yueyao felt very pressured, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Uncle, I asked He Yue about this, and He Yue also agreed." ”

An Zhichen said after half a sound: "I always thought you were a stable child, but I didn't expect that you would do such a foolish thing." "Li Guoxun is such a keen person, if he goes out to collect scenery and gets An Zhichen's consent, Yueyao can go in a bright and bright way, where do you need to go secretly. Now that Yue Yao has found such a flawed excuse, Li Guoxun understands that Yue Yao doesn't want him to know the truth, which also shows that this matter is definitely not simple, Since Yue Yao didn't say it, he wasn't ready to ask more.

Yueyao lowered her head, looking weak.

Li Guoxun didn't interfere too much, took out the box that Lian Dongbo had stored in his hand and gave it to Yueyao, and said: "Your father has 200,000 taels of silver in the box, and all the silver is now returned to you, how to use it, you can make your own decisions." "Yueyao is very good at managing money, and she is not a soft-eared person, and Li Guoxun is not afraid that she will be deceived.

Yue Yao said gratefully, "Thank you, uncle." ”

Li Guoxun sighed a little, if it was a friend, how good it would be to watch his daughter get married, "Are you ready to marry from the Lian family?" From Yueyao's previous resolute attitude, it is not difficult to see that she is actually jealous of the Lian family, and this time she is willing to marry from the Lian family, which makes Li Guoxin very surprised.

Yue Yao nodded, "I am from the Lian family, so naturally I should marry from the Lian family." "If she marries from Mafu, she will be pointed at when she goes out in the future, and her uncle will have to bear the burden at that time.

Li Guoxun hesitated for a moment and said: "I don't have a good relationship with Lian Dongfang, and you can't go to the ceremony when you get married this time." ”

Yue Yao always knew that the relationship between the two was not harmonious, "Uncle, after I get married, let Tingzheng live in Yuhua Hutong, and I can take care of him in the future." "It doesn't matter if the Li family can't attend her wedding, if the Li family can't attend Tingzheng's wedding, it will definitely be a pity, but these Tingzheng are independent, and those scruples don't exist.

Li Guoxun's face became softer and softer, "Okay, you want to get married, this piece of ink should be a gift from your uncle." ”

Yueyao didn't open it to see, how could the ink that could make Uncle Li give her as a wedding gift would be mortal. Yueyao actually thinks about it and finds it interesting. Men like to give her gifts to the four treasures of the study, and women like to give jewelry or jewelry, as if only the second old lady of the An family gave her jewelry.

Li Guoxun said that the Li family would not watch the ceremony if the relationship between the Li family and the Lian family was not good, and Mrs. Li would definitely not be able to add makeup at that time, so the gift was sent in advance, and Mrs. Li's handwriting was not small, and she gave a pair of superb black jade blue and white seed bracelets, and Wan Shi also said.

Yue Yao returned to the carriage and first looked at the gift given by Li Guoxun. Yue Yao was very surprised to see it, this ink is oval purple ink, one side is aimed at the double dragon play bead pattern, there is a regular script 'Dragon Fragrance Imperial Ink' in the middle, and the back is engraved with 'Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty' regular script.

Drizzle looked at the twin dragons playing with pearls, and was frightened, "Girl, this is a royal item, how could Lord Li give you such a thing?" "This pattern can only be used by the royal family, and others exceed the system, and if anyone is held accountable, it should be punished as a rebellion.

Yue Yao chuckled: "This is an antiquity, but it is a Tang Dynasty thing, don't worry." Yueyao really didn't expect Uncle Li to give her such a valuable gift.

Yueyao found that her collection was actually very rich, she had a lot of those precious inkstones, and there were also unique books, and people were overjoyed to find a unique book, just like she used to send those unique books to the money bank for storage, but now she has a box of unique ancient books in her hand.

Drizzle wasn't very interested in this ink or anything, "Girl, let's see what Mrs. Li gave the girl?" ”

With Yueyao's consent, Drizzle opened the box and looked at the box was a pair of superb black jade blue and white seed bracelets, the jade was moist and delicate, oily, smooth and moisturizing, warm and comfortable to the touch, well-polished, the inner ring was smooth, and the outer ring was slightly curved.

The bracelet is a "vessel that connects heaven and earth", a symbol of loyalty and beauty, and at the same time has the meaning of reunion and protection.

After receiving heavy gifts one after another, Yue Yao was a little afraid to accept any more gifts, but fortunately, before returning to Lian Mansion, Yue Yao only went to Jingning Hou Mansion once.

In late September, Yue Yao returned to Lianfu with a group of people. Yueyao's things in Mafu were all packed and sealed on the list and sent to Lianfu, and other precious calligraphy and paintings, as well as ink inkstones and those solitary books, were temporarily left in Mafu, and after they got married, they would move to Anfu.

Yueyao stood to Haitang Garden, and was a little reluctant to go.

Zhuang Ruolan said with a smile: "Yueyao, my sister-in-law will keep it for you, just wait for you to come back and live here." ”

Yue Yao shook her head with a smile and said: "No need, cousin-in-law don't have to worry about me, when I leave, I will live with Ke Yue or Yanqi, there are many people, and the house is easy to break up if it is empty for a long time and no one lives in it." "The house of Mafu is large, the population is small, and there is no problem with one person and one yard, but Begonia Garden is the best yard in Mafu, which should have been reserved for the girls in the mansion to live, she is married, how can she still occupy the yard.

Zhuang Ruolan smiled and did not object. If Yue Yao took it, she would definitely be empty, and now that Yue Yao proposed not to use it, she planned to live with her eldest daughter Ke Yue.
