This winter's snow has melted into snow, and the road is a little drier.

Looking at the gloomy weather, Mrs. Jin calculated according to her previous experience that this snow must not be small, and she didn't know how long it would take, so Li Luan'er took advantage of the snow to go into the city, bought a lot of things, and visited Yan's house to give Mrs. Jin a new medicine.

Originally, those pills were sent to the capital, and General Yan ate them well, so he sent a letter, saying that the Li family would bring him some if he still had them, and of course, what came with the letter was the generous gift of the Yan family.

Mrs. Jin and General Yan are acquaintances, and Li Luan'er likes the old general as a person, so naturally she has more pills, no, it is ready, and Li Luan'er sent it to the Yan family.

Steward Zhou took the pills, and sent some fresh things from Beijing, including two satins of excellent color, some fine white cloth, and a set of finely made official kiln tea sets, and a jade pendant with a very good texture for Li Chun.

Li Luan'er didn't refuse, took the things and put them away, and saw that Steward Zhou's face was a little dark, and his expression was shriveled, so he asked, "Uncle Zhou, but what's going on lately?" I see your face is very bad. ”

When she asked, Uncle Zhou could be regarded as looking for someone to complain, and immediately pulled Li Luan'er into a warm room, and asked someone to serve tea before sighing: "It's not all for the young master." ”

"Young Master?" Li Luan'er pondered: "What's wrong with Yan Chengyue?" ”

Uncle Zhou frowned, with a bitter face: "The eldest lady may not know, I am not the steward of the Yan Mansion in Phoenix City, I was the steward of the Yan family in the capital, I have an insider who is the nurse of the eldest young master, I also grew up watching the eldest young master, to say something disrespectful, I look at the eldest young master, it is really closer than my own boy, the eldest young master broke his leg back then, and my wife cried to death, I can't wait to replace him, I feel uncomfortable." ”

Only then did Li Luan'er understand the status of Steward Zhou in the Yan family, so she said, how can Steward Zhou be in charge of the affairs of the Yan Mansion, it turns out that there is also a reason for this.

"Although the eldest young master is the eldest son of the master and the wife, but as soon as he was born, he was held by the old man and the old lady, and the age of the eldest young master and the second young master are similar, the master and the wife poured all their thoughts into the second young master, and the relationship with the eldest young master was very tight, when the original eldest young master was good, because he was indeed much better than the second young master, the master and the wife did not dare to have other thoughts, but as soon as the eldest young master broke his leg, the master and the wife were ...... Alas, now that the young lady of the Zhang family is gone, and she thinks about the young master's good, and wants to come up, you say, how can a person like the eldest young master be arrogant and natural, how can he want that kind of woman, just the master and the wife......"

Li Luan'er understood and dared to love, this Yan Chengyue turned out to be a tragic character whose father does not love his mother and is unkind, his parents have always loved his second brother, and for his second brother Yan Chengke, they used him to make a fuss and pave the way for his second brother.

The Yan family was originally a family of military generals, lacking the help of Wenchen, while the Zhang family was Wenchen, the old man of the Zhang family had many protégés, and he was very prestigious in Shilin, Yan Chengyue's parents wanted to make a fuss about Yan Chengyue's lifelong events, ease the relationship with the Zhang family, and ask Yan Chengyue to marry Zhang Wei, who had no women's morality, so that Yan Chengke's road to Qingyun would go a little more steadily and faster.

Yan Chengyue was originally disabled, and he was extremely unhappy, but now that his parents are cheap, this is even more uncomfortable, and his parents, for the sake of the second son, completely ignore the feelings of the eldest son, and they are really not worthy of being parents.

However, Li Luan'er is not easy to say anything, there are more eccentric parents in the world, who can manage it, besides, this is someone else's housework, what can she do except listen to a few complaints?

"The eldest young master is bitter in his heart, and he even said to Yan Yi that if there is no old man to protect him in the future, in order to live more comfortably, he would rather become a monk, you say, you say, if this is not really chilling, how could he say such a thing."

Steward Zhou and Li Luan'er are familiar with each other, and they also know that Li Luan'er has a tight mouth, so naturally any bitter water is poured out: "I feel sorry for the eldest young master in my heart, but as a subordinate, there is really no way except to worry about the eldest young master." ”

Hearing this, Li Luan'er had to persuade a few words: "Uncle Zhou doesn't have to worry so much, I see that General Yan is strong, he is definitely a long-lived person, with him, it is enough to protect the eldest young master of your family, and besides, the eldest lady of the Zhang family has withdrawn once, and she has divorced again, presumably her reputation is not very good, and after a long time, the old lady in your house will never think about marrying the Zhang family again when she listens to the reputation of the eldest lady of the Zhang family." ”

Speaking of this, Li Luan'er actually laughed: "Besides, if the eldest young master of your family marries the eldest lady of the Zhang family, what kind of woman should the second young master marry?" You know, the eldest young master is the grandson of the eldest house, how can those younger brothers under him marry wives, why can't they go past him, your house, but not only your master's family, then the second master and the third master's family have no sons? ”

Steward Zhou's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately stood up and saluted Li Luan'er: "I just complained a few words, but I asked the eldest lady to be heartfelt, the eldest lady has a clear heart, and she has solved my embarrassment for many days, I thank you here." ”

"They are all acquaintances, so why should Uncle Zhou." Li Luan'er also hurriedly got up and returned the salute: "As long as the affairs of the Zhang family are delayed, the older the eldest lady of the Zhang family is, the more anxious she will become, and it is impossible for her to wait for your eldest young master alone." ”

"Yes, I didn't think of it." Steward Zhou patted his head: "Yes, I will talk to the eldest young master in a while, so that the eldest young master can be relieved." ”

Li Luan'er pursed her lips and smiled: "What kind of person you young master are, what I can think of, how did he not think of it, you, too, are too worried." ”

When Steward Zhou heard this, he suddenly saw the sun as if he had seen the clouds, and his eyes lit up: "The eldest lady is right, this is right, it seems that I am a mediocre person who disturbs myself, it is really ...... Delayed the time of the eldest lady. ”

"What is this?" Li Luan'er waved her hand: "The snow outside is getting heavier and heavier, I have to hurry up and buy things and go back, otherwise, it will be difficult to walk on the road for a while." ”

"I'll ask someone to buy it for the eldest lady." Steward Zhou had no worries, a burst of relief, he thanked Li Luan'er for solving his problem in a few words, so he went out with a gust of wind, explained to the little maid at home, and bought all the things that Li Luaner lacked as soon as possible.

There are many shops in the Yan family, and there are all in the general family shops, and a few small people don't have much time to go out, so they get all the materials used in the daily life of the family.

Li Luan'er thanked Steward Zhou, loaded the things into the car, and drove away directly.

As soon as she left, Steward Zhou hurriedly went to Yan Chengyue, although he knew that Yan Chengyue was smart and should know many things, but he still couldn't bear the joy in his heart and wanted to talk to Yan Chengyue.

Steward Zhou is a good housekeeper who is conscientious, and his mother-in-law is also a loyal and gentle woman, taking care of Yan Chengyue wholeheartedly, otherwise, when Yan Chengyue came to Fenghuang County, the old general would not pick Steward Zhou to accompany him, Yan Chengyue also respects and trusts Steward Zhou, and compared with other subordinates, he is more close.

Steward Zhou waited in front of Yan Chengyue's room, waiting for Yan Yi's report.

After a while, Yan Yi came out and asked Steward Zhou to go in.

He came from the back door, the cold wind blew straight along the way, blowing through the thick cotton clothes, this time into the house, a warm wind blew, and it was sweating.

"Uncle Zhou is here, sit down." Yan Chengyue was practicing calligraphy, and when he saw Steward Zhou coming in, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

Where would Steward Zhou sit, standing aside and telling the general Li Luan'er about his visit, of course, including what Li Luan'er said.

Yan Chengyue listened, was silent for a while, and after I don't know how long, she muttered to herself: "What a smart lady Li......"

"What's more." Steward Zhou smiled and praised Li Luan'er: "The old slave thinks that he is not young, and he can be regarded as having seen a few outstanding characters, but he has never seen a person who can match the eldest lady, where is she only smart, she can be called extremely smart, the old slave really can't figure it out, the people of the Cui family were blind at the beginning, and they were willing to give up such a character." ”

"That's because they're not blessed." Yan Chengyue sighed: "Uncle Zhou, go more with the Li family in the future, if they have any difficulties, you can also help them, after all, there is this big lady, and the Li family will always be fine." ”

"The old slave understands." Steward Zhou responded with a smile: "The world says that only when the men in the family are outstanding can the family prosper, the old slave looks, if this daughter's family is extremely brilliant, it can also bring blessings to the family, young master, the Li family was so poor at the beginning, how much is this situation, it has become a rich family, how many people in this Phoenix City can't keep up, it's not all made by Mrs. Li, not to mention the Cui family, this Li clan, they are all blind, I can't say, they will regret it one day." ”

Speaking of this, Steward Zhou brought out another sentence: "Old slave look, Mrs. Li is from a prosperous family, whoever marries her will definitely prosper, and the young master will also look at it, if you don't ......"

He wanted to say, why don't you go to the Li family to propose marriage and ask to marry the eldest lady.

It's a pity that he was interrupted by Yan Chengyue sharply: "Uncle Zhou, don't say such things in the future." ”

"Yes, yes." A trace of distress flashed in Steward Zhou's eyes, and he quickly bowed his head in response, but he hated Zhang Wei even more in his heart for abandoning his young master back then.

If it weren't for her, if it weren't for the words she said, why would the eldest young master be like this.

Li Luan'er didn't know what the Yan family was saying about her, so she drove back home in a hurry when the heavy snow was approaching.

Before she could move the things off the car, she saw Li Feng'er coming out of the house with a cold face, Li Luan'er's heart was tight, and she couldn't bother to unload her things, so she pulled Li Luan'er into a utility room and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?" Are there people who don't open their eyes to come to our house to find trouble? ”RS
