Yueyao didn't finish the painting until late at night.

After Xiang Wei finished reading the painting, she said, "Girl, let's hide this painting!" "Jiang Tingzheng's shortcomings can all be avoided, so this painting looks like an immortal descending to earth, truly flawless. Moreover, Yue Yao also painted Tingzheng's peach blossom eyes very vividly, looking at those eyes, Xiang Wei Zhen was worried that her soul had been snatched away.

Yue Yao smiled: "This child is really the wrong child. Xiang Wei, who do you think is better than Tingzheng and Hou Shizi of Yongding? ”

Xiang Wei thought for a while, and finally shook her head helplessly: "There is no comparison." "Although both of them are very good-looking, they have their own characteristics.

Yue Yao thought that the next time she saw the Hou Shizi of Yongding, she would definitely see and listen more, and then compare it with Tingzheng when the time came.

Early the next morning, Yue Yao led Tingzheng to the Li Mansion. When I arrived at Li's house, I didn't need to report it, and I was directly led to the backyard by my mother-in-law.

Yue Yao was wearing a dress forged by water clouds, embroidered with a low-key and delicate silver peony pattern. The cuffs and hem lightly outline an elegant auspicious cloud pattern, simple and elegant. Yueyao's current clothes are all made in the cloth workshop, and these clothes are mainly chic and elegant, because such clothes are very suitable for Yueyao's temperament. Combed a meniscus bun, the bun was pinned with a jade hosta that could drip water, and a gilded filigree dotted emerald pearl phoenix was inserted on the left, and a pearl tassel the size of a grain of rice hung down under the step. In addition, Yueyao also wore a string of agarwood carved Buddha beads on her wrist.

Compared with Yueyao, Tingzheng is much simpler. Ting Zheng was wearing a royal blue round-necked robe, accompanied by a jade pendant around his waist, and a purse hanging; The hair is fixed with a black jade hairpin. However, Ting Zheng looks good, no matter how simple he wears, he looks good.

One of the sisters and brothers has an outstanding temperament, and the other is invincible in beauty, and the two are going to blind people when they stand together. Mrs. Li looked at the two sisters and brothers, and was really amazed for a moment.

The siblings saluted. The two of them were pulled to Mrs. Li's side, and said with a smile: "Yueyao, I haven't seen you for a few years, and she has grown into a big girl." Tingzheng is the same, and he has grown a lot taller. In Mrs. Li's heart, Tingzheng is her youngest son.

Yue Yao said with a smile: "Aunt is also getting younger and more beautiful. Yueyao's words are really not a compliment, but because people are in good spirits on happy occasions, they look younger than a few years ago.

Mrs. Li and Yue Yao hadn't spoken more than ten words when they heard a loud voice outside: "Mother, I heard that Tingzheng is coming." ”

It was Li Han who spoke, and when he entered the house, he first saluted Mrs. Li and Yueyao, and then pulled Tingzheng to go out.

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Go ahead!" ”

Li Han tugged on Tingzheng's arm and said as he walked: "It's a shame that I miss you so much, I've been back for a few days, and you only came to the door today." ”

Ting Zheng explained in a low voice: "I only came back from the barracks yesterday, but I took four days off and had time to gather." "The Xiao Cavalry Camp is not allowed to ask for leave, but Ting Zheng has not come back from vacation before, so this time it is better to say that it is a holiday.

Yue Yao vaguely heard Li Han muttering that the three-day vacation was too little, and smiled lightly. She entrusted Tingzheng to the Li family back then, and this decision couldn't be more correct.

Mrs. Li pulled Yueyao and asked about the past few years, especially about the resignation. The news of Yueyao's resignation spread to Liangguang, and Li Guoxun wrote a letter at that time to ask Shen Qian what was going on, and later lost his temper because of it. Because of this incident, the relationship between Li Guoxun and Shen Qian has faded a little.

Yue Yao didn't hide it either, and told the matter from beginning to end. Yueyao said very carefully, but she was impartial, and she didn't add fuel and vinegar, nor did she blame the Shen family.

After listening to this, Mrs. Li said softly: "It's okay to retire from this family business." "Mrs. Li has always been optimistic about this family business, because she knows that with the character of the Mu family, if Yueyao marries into the Shen family, she will definitely be wronged.

Yue Yao blinked, could it be that she had misheard.

Mrs. Li smiled: "I have known Mrs. Shen since I was a child, but I don't have a deep friendship, but I know her temperament well. Although Cong Hao is a good boy, marrying into the Shen family with your temperament will definitely be a loss. ”

Yue Yao lowered her head and didn't speak. Although she hated the Mu family, Yueyao never said bad things about another person in front of anyone. Of course, Xiang Wei is a special case and should be excluded.

Mrs. Li felt a little pity in her heart: "In the past two years, has Master Ma ever said to you?" ”

Yue Yao took the initiative to say: "Yes, but I am not satisfied." In April, the prince of Yongding Hou also came to the door to propose, but I refused. ”

Mrs. Li naturally knew about this, and asked with a smile, "Why did you refuse?" The prince of Yongding Hou is a rare talent. ”

Yue Yao shook her head and said: "I know that the prince of Yongding Hou is very good, but I have self-knowledge, and it is no problem for me to take care of my own small family, but if I want to take care of the affairs of the Hou Mansion, I can't take care of it." Yueyao also has a meaning in this, that is, people who are too complicated are not suitable for her.

Mrs. Li patted Yueyao's hand: "The backyard of the Marquis of Yongding's Mansion is very complicated, and ordinary people can't control it, you are right to refuse this marriage." ”

Yueyao told Mrs. Li some interesting stories she encountered, which also made Mrs. Li laugh, and the two got along very well.

Li Guoxun took over the household department, and he had to go home very late every day, so Yueyao didn't see Li Guoxun either.

When Yueyao left, Mrs. Li said with a smile: "When your Uncle Li is done, you will come back then." Li Guoxun has always been very concerned about Yueyao, but he really can't spare time.

Yue Yao returned to the Ma Mansion, but Ting Zheng did not go back with him, but stayed in the Li Mansion. For Tingzheng, living in the Li Mansion made him more comfortable.

Xiang Wei said with a smile: "I didn't expect that after five years of separation, Mrs. Li is still so kind to you." "The Li family is rising day by day, and it is really not easy for Li Guoxun and Mrs. Li to be so good to Yueyao and Tingzheng.

Yue Yao smiled lightly: "It's rare." "If you want to say who Yueyao is most grateful for, it is not Luo Shao, but Li Guoxun. Li Guoxun treated them like his own children and sisters, especially Tingzheng was carefully taught by Li Guoxun, otherwise Tingzheng would not have grown up so well.

Xiang Wei thought for a while and said, "Girl, Tingzheng is in the Li Mansion every day, are you not jealous?" "Xiang Wei sometimes really thinks that Yue Yao's attitude towards Ting Zheng is very weird. said that she didn't pay attention to Tingzheng, but she was very concerned about Tingzheng's affairs. said that she attaches great importance to Tingzheng, but she can put Tingzheng in the Li family for three or five years, this sister is really weird.

Yue Yao smiled: "As long as Ting is right, it will be done." ”

When Tang heard Yueyao return home, his face was a little complicated. It is not simple for Yueyao to make good friends with one by one, first Jingning Houfu, and then Hubu Shangshu Mansion. Is this a coincidence? Tang didn't believe it was all a coincidence: "I may have lost my eyes." Yueyao has always given her the feeling that she is arrogant and dustless, but now she finds that Yueyao is actually very scheming and discerning.

Su Zhu now feels that it is not a question of whether Yue Yao has vision or not, but to solve the matter of the Zhu family. When Mrs. Zhu returned home, she said that Yueyao's eyes were higher than the sky, but she didn't expect this to spread outside. If this is known to the master, I don't know what will happen.

Tang snorted coldly: "Let her go!" "Tang used to want to be a matchmaker, but he also thought that the Zhu family was good and promising. The Zhu family is good, and it is also a help for her. Unexpectedly, after Zhu Hang became a jinshi, her aunt changed all of a sudden, and she began to have no one in her eyes. After this time, she no longer had expectations for the Zhu family.

Su Zhu sighed slightly.

Li Guoxun came back very late this day, and when he had supper, Li Guoxun remembered that the two sisters and brothers of Yueyao came over today. So after finishing the supper, Li Guoxun asked about Yueyao and Tingzheng's situation.

Mrs. Li smiled: "Yue Yao and Ting Zheng are both here. Ting Zheng stayed in the Li Mansion today, and he was with Han'er! ”

Li Guoxun pondered for a moment and said, "Yueyao's marriage, what does the Ma family say?" "Shen Conghao has already decided to get married, and he will get married after the year. Yueyao's marriage has not yet been announced, and I don't know how Ma Chengteng became someone's uncle.

Mrs. Li shook her head and said, "I didn't ask about this. It's just that I think Yueyao's marriage is not easy to handle. ”

Li Guoxun was a little surprised: "Hasn't that kid come out of the shadow of retreat?" "If that's the case, it's going to be difficult.

Mrs. Li smiled and said: "That's not true, Yueyao also took the initiative to tell me about quitting her relatives today, which shows that she has already let go." It's just that this child is talented, and ordinary people don't deserve it. And I listened to what she said, she didn't want to marry into the high gate, saying that there were many rights and wrongs in the high gate, and she couldn't adapt to it. "Mrs. Li doesn't think that Yueyao can't adapt to the complicated environment, Yueyao herself is already in a complicated environment, but she still hasn't lived well.

Li Guoxin frowned: "That's a troublesome matter." "Even if the girl wants to marry low, it is impossible to be too low, and it will definitely not be possible to lower too much. But Yueyao is unwilling to marry high, this is not high, but it will be troublesome.

Mrs. Li reassured: "Don't worry, you can always find it if you look for it slowly." ”

Li Guoxun didn't speak again, but after going to bed, Li Guoxun suddenly said, "Madam, what do you think of Yueyao?" ”

Mrs. Li didn't understand what she meant, and said directly: "Very smart, very capable, and all of them are first-class in appearance and talent." ”

After hearing this, Li Guoxun said, "Madam, what do you think if you tell Yueyao to Han'er?" "The eldest has already married, the second Li Zhen has already been married, but Li Han's family affairs have not yet been decided.

Mrs. Li didn't expect her husband to hit her son with his idea, and she didn't know how to reply.

Li Guoxun thought for a while and felt that this idea was very good: "Han'er's temperament is jumpy, and Yueyao's temperament is calm, which just complements each other." ”

Mrs. Li hurriedly said: "There is no urgency in this matter, it is not too late to ask Yueyao and Han'er what they mean when the time comes." Mrs. Li knew her husband's temperament, and this would not be able to dispel her husband's thoughts.

Mrs. Li was so worried that she didn't sleep well all night. It's not that Mrs. Li doesn't look down on Yueyao, it's just that she really didn't think about letting Yueyao be her daughter-in-law.

On the second day, Li Guoxun went on a business trip. Mrs. Li told her confidant about this: "Yueyao, this kid is smart, capable, and skillful, and has a good temperament, good looks and handsome, I really can't find fault with it." But to tell her to Han'er, I always felt that it was inappropriate. "This daughter-in-law who married back is naturally a husband and a child, but Yueyao is obsessed with painting, can she be a good helper with this appearance? Mrs. Lee was skeptical.

Mrs. Li's confidant said with a smile: "Madam, Miss Lian is a very smart girl, and she is also very assertive. You can find an opportunity to pass through these words and see what Miss Lian thinks herself? "The Li family is the master, if the master decides to pay attention to hiring a girl for the third young master, it is useless for the lady to object. Instead of hitting it hard, it is better to see what Miss Lian means first. If even the girl is interested, the orphan of the deceased is different from the future daughter-in-law, and when the time comes, the attitude will be put out, and the girl will naturally measure it herself. But if even the girl doesn't want to, then there is no need to worry. The master can be the master of the third young master, but he can't be the master of the girl.

Mrs. Li frowned unconsciously when she heard Yueyao's assertive words, but she still nodded: "Find a suitable opportunity, you can pass this out." "Let's see what Yue Yao means first, and if Yue Yao agrees, then tell my son about it. If Yueyao didn't agree, Mrs. Li didn't plan to tell Li Han about it.
