Chapter 162: Hatred

Li Luan'er got out of the gate of the Xing family, and after getting into the carriage, she couldn't figure out why Xing Hu seemed to care about the Gu family very much.

Seeing that Xing Hu hated the Jun family very much, and the words he said seemed to be very righteous, but Li Luan'er understood that this Xing Hu could be the confidant of the first emperor, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, not only would he not be suspected and belittled, but he would have to be more reused, and his scheming would not be less.

It stands to reason that such a person must be cautious in marrying a bride for his son, but looking at the appearance of the Xing family and his wife, they are willing to accept the marriage without even inquiring about the Gu family, isn't it, what else is there to pay attention to here?

Li Luan'er couldn't think through it for a while and didn't think about it anymore, so she told Xiao Ping to go back quickly.

When I got home, it was already half an afternoon, although the heat subsided a little, but in the end it was a summer afternoon, the weather was still very hot, Li Luan'er wanted to freshen up and rest for a while, but thinking about Gu Xin's marriage, she simply didn't go home, and called someone to knock on the door of Gu's house.

It was also too hot, the Gu family was in the house to cool off, Li Luan'er entered the house, and saw ice basins placed around, and for a while the heat disappeared, and a cool wind came to the face.

Mrs. Gu was eating with Gu Xin with a chilled watermelon, and when she saw Li Luan'er coming, she hurriedly gave in, but it happened that Li Luan'er drank a lot of wine, and she was thirsty, so she didn't shirk, so she asked the girl to take the big watermelon, and put it in the basin with a knife.

Gu Xin had never seen such a way to eat watermelon, he was curious and fresh for a while, and he clamored to try it, so he asked Mrs. Gu to give a lecture before stopping.

Mrs. Gu looked at Gu Xin pouting and looking angry. couldn't help laughing: "Are you Sister Li the same as you, she just came in from outside, and she didn't eat much cold food, so naturally she ate so many watermelons, and you only ate a lot." If you eat half more, will you still die? ”

In a word, the bluffing Gu Xin didn't dare to say much, but looked at Li Luan'er pitifully.

Li Luan'er laughed while eating: "You don't even look at me, and I won't eat with you no matter how pitiful you are." ”

Gu Xin simply twisted his head to the side and ignored Li Luan'er, while Mrs. Gu laughed: "The eldest lady has a spring color. But I ate wine. ”

Li Luan'er touched her cheeks, only to feel that her face was hot and hot, thinking that she had drunk too much and had her face on her face, so she also smiled: "Exactly, I'm going to visit an old home today." was dragged by his wife to eat a few more cups, no, he went up. ”

Gu Xin couldn't care about being angry when he heard this, so he hurriedly ordered the girl to get into the water coolly, and took a new handkerchief to serve Li Luan'er to wash her face.

For a while, Li Luan'er washed her hands and face, picked up half a watermelon and ate it, and ate a few bites. Then I looked at Mrs. Gu: "I heard my sister-in-law say yesterday that Mrs. wants to go on a blind date with her, but it just so happens that the old family I went to today has a son who is the same age as the sister-in-law, and I look very good." I mentioned it to his wife, who also likes the temperament of the sister, so she wants me to be a matchmaker. ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Xin covered his face in shame and stomped his feet: "Sister Li, you ...... Did you deliberately embarrass others? ”

After speaking, he quickly dodged out, but Mrs. Gu's face was happy: "Is what the eldest lady said true?" Who is the other party? What is the population of the family, and what is the temper of the lady......"

I asked a lot of questions. Mrs. Gu asked Li Luan'er, who didn't know how to answer.

She thought for a while before smiling: "Naturally, it's true, speaking of his family, Mrs. Lai should know something." It's the family of Lord Xing, the squire of the military department, who has just taken office, and the one I want to match with my sister Xin is the second son of his family. This second son does not like martial arts, but is quite talented in the article, and is now studying in the academy, it is said that he has been admitted to show his talent and fame, and he is really a good candidate when it comes to the foundation. ”

The joy on Mrs. Gu's face froze for a while before disappearing without a trace: "This ...... Qi Da is not a coincidence. ”

Li Luan'er understood that Mrs. Gu was obviously afraid that Gu Xin, the other party's high-ranking family, would suffer, and with the previous affairs of the Jun family, Mrs. Gu was extremely reluctant to marry Gu Xin to Gaomen.

Mrs. Gu didn't care what Mrs. Li Luan'er thought, and she didn't have much leisure to explain to Mrs. Gu that the children of the Han family were sometimes not good people, so she could only smile and say: "I told Mrs. about this, how to wait for Mrs. to make an idea, there is only one thing, Lord Xing agrees, and is also very optimistic about Sister Xin, and also said that when she has a few days of leisure, she will ask Mrs. to take Sister Xin to Xiangguo Temple for incense, and when the time comes, Mrs. Xing will also take her son-in-law to go, so that the two of them can take a look, if you think it is good, this matter will be talked about further, if it is not matched, Bento doesn't have such a thing. ”

Mrs. Gu was obviously very worried, and thought for a while before saying, "I'll discuss it with Ming'er in a while, and wait for the eldest lady to reply tomorrow." ”

Li Luan'er nodded when she heard this: "Then I'll wait." ”

After talking about this marriage, Li Luan'er didn't mention the Xing family's affairs again, only bowed her head and ate a watermelon, feeling a lot happier in her heart, plus there was no one next to the Gu family, but there was a lot of money, and the layout everywhere was also comfortable.

When she was about to go out, Mrs. Gu asked someone to take out a small parasol, there are paper, there are oilcloth, and silk, these umbrellas are small and exquisite, and they are painted with various graphics, especially the silk ones, which are inlaid with a lot of jewelry, which looks very rich, Mrs. Gu smiled and handed these umbrellas to Li Luan'er: "This is Xin'er has to draw pictures in her spare time and ask people to do it, I see it is good, so I asked the people in the shop to make some, you take it home to play." ”

Li Luan'er opened an umbrella and looked at it, and was amazed, only saying that the modern parasols are weak, and it should be said that the modern daughters who show off their wealth also see what kind of life the ancient daughters lived.

"I look at this umbrella is really good, I want to enter the palace in a few days, I don't know what to send with my sister-in-law, but it happens that this umbrella is exactly what I want, if Mrs. asks the shop to get some more delicate, I will bring it into the palace to play with my sister, I can't say, this is a good deal."

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she was overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "I'll ask the people in the shop to collect more jewelry." Then ask Xin'er to draw more pictures, get some delicate umbrellas out, take them when you enter the palace, and distribute them more, if you are a virtuous concubine, you will also feel good. That's the creation of our family. ”

Li Luan'er responded for a while, and told Mrs. Gu about the styles of several umbrellas, and then returned home with an umbrella.

The Gu family is really a sincere person, and there are really a lot of umbrellas for Li Luan'er, Li Luan'er went back and picked one with Mrs. Jin first, and then picked the purple bamboo to make noodles with Li Chun. He left a handful of azure silk with pearls after the rain for his own use, and the rest of them were not more expensive and were distributed.

From Aunt Zheng in the kitchen to Ma Xiaoya, everyone has a share, and these happy individuals are really smiling.

On the second day, Mrs. Gu came to the door and said that she was willing to marry the Xing family. Li Luan'er should go down and go to Xing's house again, and pulled this line for the two families.

She is a character who does what she says, she promised Mrs. Gu in the morning, and in the afternoon she personally found the Xing family, and discussed with Mrs. Xing that she would go to Xiangguo Temple every two days to offer incense, so that a pair of children of the two families would look at each other, and when the matter was decided, Li Luaner would go back with some materials sent by Mrs. Xing.

In the summer, there is nothing to do, even if you go back, there is no work. Li Luan'er thought about going to Fengyi Garden to watch the play for a while, and with some refreshments, Xiao Ping drove the carriage in the direction of Fengyi Garden. Xing's house is not close to Fengyi Garden, and along the way, Li Luan'er went to the pickle garden to buy some small pickles, and bought a few freshly baked roast ducks at the Deshengli roast duck shop, and went to Guanjing Lane to buy some handicrafts and put them in the carriage. She felt that the addiction of shopping was over, so she urged Xiao Ping to leave quickly.

Coincidentally, there is a nursery office not far from the viewing alley. Li Luan'er casually glanced at it a few times when she passed by, and saw that it was really good to look outside the nursery bureau. The house is well built, and it has a very good face, but I don't know what is going on inside.

Although the Dayong Dynasty has advocated since the time of Taizu what the old and the young have to support, every big city has a childcare bureau to support those lonely elderly or lost children, and there are also many benevolent families who donate their unused things to the childcare bureau.

But Li Luan'er has been nurtured by some dark insiders in modern times, and has experienced those innocent children in the last days who deceived the dead by relying on their young age to pay for their lives, and really has no feelings about this place like the Nursery Bureau, and when she passed by, she just looked at it, and did not say that she wanted to donate anything.

She is indifferent, but Ma Xiaoya is the most emotional, seeing that she is about to pass the nursery bureau, she began to wipe a handful of tears: "The eldest lady doesn't know, the children here are really pitiful, many of them are disliked by the family because their daughters can't afford to raise them, or they are disabled, and there are also parents who died, although they can't starve to death here, but where have those children eaten a full meal......"

Listening to Ma Xiaoya's chatter, Li Luan'er thought of her grandfather, she grew up with her grandfather since she was a child, her grandfather is a very kind old man, and he is also very kind, although the salary is not very high, but every month he still saves a sum of money to donate to out-of-school children, and has not disclosed his name for many years.

But what about now......

Li Luan'er was full of longing for her family for a while, and when she heard Ma Xiaoya tell how difficult it was for those old people and children, she waved her hand: "Uncle Xiao, stop the carriage." ”

Xiao Ping agreed to stop the carriage, and Li Luan'er took Ma Xiaoya to get out of the carriage and entered a garment bureau not far away.

After Li Luan'er went in, he asked the shopkeeper to pick out some cotton clothes, and bought a lot of coarse cotton materials, and called Xiao Ping to let him take someone to the nursery bureau.

And Li Luan'er and Ma Xiaoya entered a dim sum shop again, bought some ordinary dim sum, such as twist flowers, sugar horns, mung bean cakes and other foods that ordinary people can afford, and asked the guys from the dim sum shop to go to the nursery bureau.

Before entering the door of the Nursery Bureau, I heard a burst of noise, Ma Xiaoya didn't go far inside with the snack, a group of children came running, and the snacks were robbed like a gust of wind, Li Luaner took the dim sum in the hands of the guys, and wanted to find someone to distribute it to the children, and heard a cry.

"I'm going back, I'm going out......"

This was a woman's mournful shout, and then a deeper male voice was heard: "What is the name of what the girl said, we didn't call you here, it was really the girl's master who sent you here, and we don't have the girl's deed of sale, so why do we talk about letting the girl out." ”

Li Luan'er wondered what was going on, and unexpectedly bumped out a woman with a cloak from inside, and the woman was a wolf, and rushed out, not wanting to see the road clearly, but she almost bumped into Li Luan'er.

Li Luan'er hid Ma Xiaoya and watched the woman fall into the soil with a cold eye.

The woman looked up with a dirty face, looking at Li Luan'er standing there with an indifferent face, and the director of the Nursery Bureau laughed: "This lady is ......"

Ma Xiaoya raised her head and said very arrogantly: "Our lady is the eldest lady of the Li family, and she is the sister of the virtuous concubine......"

Ma Xiaoya was stopped by Li Luan'er before she finished speaking, but she said it almost as well, the woman was jealous when she saw Li Luan as a child, and when she heard that she was the eldest lady of Li and the sister of the virtuous concubine, there was a trace of hatred in her eyes.
