When Li Luan'er passed, Li Mei was helping the Qin family find good things in the treasury to make financial gifts, and the two of them were dusty, and when they heard the girl's report that Li Luan'er was coming, they hurriedly cleaned up.

This is not a bystander's house, Li Luan'er is not a guest, she didn't have to wait to go to Qin's house, and she commanded the girl to bring her tea, snacks and other things.

When Li Mei and Qin passed, Li Luan'er was eating and drinking, and when she saw the two of them coming in to say hello, she continued to enjoy food and tea.

Qin Shi was a little amused, sat down and said, "Don't you have any money to eat in your house?" And they came to my house to beg for food? ”

Li Luan'er put down the pastry in her hand: "No, it's really because the dim sum made by my aunt is so delicious that I can't wait to live here and not leave." ”

Li Mei clapped her hands: "That's the case, you can stay for a long time, my mother and I are nothing, I'm just afraid that my brother-in-law and little nephew will think about you." ”

"At most, bring your brother-in-law and them, I'm afraid that you will be annoyed for a long time." Li Luan'er took a sip of tea and smiled, and said to the Qin family: "I'm here to find Mei girl, I'll take her out to play for a while, and if the aunt has something, please take care of herself." ”

Qin also thought that Li Luan'er was going to take Li Mei to attend a banquet somewhere, and he didn't want to do it, so Li Luan'er took Li Mei to leave in a car, and he didn't go far, and went to Fengyi Garden, now Li Luan'er has a private room in Fengyi Garden, as soon as she passed, the guy immediately took her and Li Mei into the private room, and after a while, the round table in the private room was full of all kinds of food.

Li Luan'er led Li Mei to eat some snacks and dried fruits, and asked with a smile: "Mei girl, now that your brother's family affairs have been decided, it is time to be busy with your family affairs, do you have a favorite candidate?" ”

Li Mei blushed instantly, and after a long time, she whispered, "Never." ”

"Really?" Li Luan'er asked again: "If you really don't have it, I can find you a good family, don't worry, I will find you a good family." ”

Li Mei's body stiffened a little, and it took an unknown amount of time before she waved her hand: "Sister, it's better not to worry about it, I, I, I have taken a fancy to someone." ”

"Tell me about it, and I'll give you a good look." Li Luan'er was smiling on her face, but she was very vigilant in her heart, and said in her heart that it seemed that Li Mei really took a fancy to that new science and technology scholar, but she didn't know what her character was, Li Mei, a stupid girl, was not deceived.

Li Mei was a little ashamed, lowered her head and said in a low and slow voice: "His family is far away, it is Lingnan, the family is very poor, his father went early, only a widowed mother pulled him to grow up, fortunately there are still some fields at home, relying on the harvest in the field and his mother spinning and weaving to earn some money for him to study, I knew him before Yuan Chunqiu, but I didn't know if he could pass the exam, so I didn't dare to tell my family, and I was afraid of affecting him, so I hid it, and now he is admitted to the Jinshi, I think I will tell my mother about it in a few days, Now that my sister is asking, I don't have anything to say. ”

The more Li Luan'er listened, the heavier her mood became, and the more she listened, the more she felt that the new science and technology scholar had some questions: "What is his name and how did he get results in the scientific examination?" How did you recognize him? ”

Li Mei smiled, mentioning this new science and technology jinshi with a little happiness on his face: "His name is Li Hongzhi, I heard him say that this time he was in the second list of Jinshi, but because of the water and soil, the ranking is not very high, it is difficult for him, he entered Beijing last year, has been setting up a stall in the capital to write some letters for people to maintain, rented a house in Beijing to live, that day I went out to buy some small things, did not bring a girl, I don't want to be many people on the street, touched a pickpocket and stole my money bag, I bought a few food but had no money to pay the bill, It happened that the stall selling food was next to the stall where he wrote letters, and he was about to cry when he saw that I was anxious, so he kindly helped me pay the bill, and I ...... Later, I returned the money to him, and we met each other after coming and going. ”

Li Luan'er and his entourage nodded their heads: "Look at this person, it's not bad, but if you only know him, if you talk about marriage, we have to inquire clearly, in the end, this is a major event in a lifetime, and his family is far away, we don't know what the situation is, after all, we don't know the roots, if you marry in the past, it will not be good if there is a good one." ”

Li Mei is also reasonable: "I also know that my heart is tight, and I also know that my sister is for my good, and my sister just needs to inquire about the good and bad, and I will listen to my sister." ”

"You're reasonable." Li Luan'er is very satisfied, in the end, Li Mei didn't get dizzy because of any love, for a man and his family, Li Luan'er was still thinking about what would happen if the surnamed Li really fascinated Li Mei, but now looking at Li Mei is still very sensible, so, she is also relieved.

After talking about the matter, Li Luan'er also listened to some dramas happily, Li Meiyuan also likes to listen to dramas, and this Fengyiyuan is not once or twice, so she simply listened carefully.

After listening to the play, the two of them ate some snacks and left from Fengyiyuan, only to go out of the door of Fengyiyuan, and met Li Hongzhi and an extraordinarily dressed person who was about to enter the door, Li Hongzhi stopped when he saw Li Mei and Li Luan'er, and greeted the two with a decent smile on his face, calling him Miss Li.

Li Mei was a little ashamed, and nodded at Li Hongzhi: "Li Gongzi is good." ”

Li Luan'er is now closer, and he began to pay attention to this Li Hongzhi, seeing Li Mei greeting him, he also nodded, the person next to Li Hongzhi kept staring at Li Luan'er, but at this time he exclaimed: "Yingwu Hou? ”

Li Luan'er smiled, turned her head and asked the man, "Who is this son?" ”

The man smiled and waved his hand: "How can Yingwuhou recognize the following, it is Yu Entong below, the Yu family's big house, thank you Yingwuhou for mentioning his mother, if there is no Yingwuhou kind help, I'm afraid it will still be ...... in the next place."

"Well, let's not talk about that." Li Luan'er didn't wait for Yu Entong to finish speaking, then smiled and waved her hand: "What to mention or not, I just happened to meet it, I still have some things with my sister, and I will leave first." ”

Yu Entong knew that Li Luan'er was probably reluctant to mention that matter again, so he smiled and watched Li Luan'er and Li Mei leave.

That Li Hongzhi waited for Li Luan'er and Li Mei to leave before asking Yu Entong: "Brother Yu, is that the famous Yingwu Marquis just now?" ”

"Isn't that her?" Yu Entong smiled: "There are a few heroic marquis under you that day, except for her, where can others afford the word heroic." ”

"In this way, that Miss Li is the sister of Yingwu Hou?" Li Hongzhi was very surprised, and said softly: "I didn't know that she was still the sister of the concubine, and it was really ...... that she had that background at home."

Yu Entong glanced at Li Hongzhi: "Brother Li and that Miss Li are?" ”

Li Hongzhi smiled, a little proud: "That's the person who is happy with the next heart, and the next is happy with Miss Li, but he still has time to show his family." ”

"Congratulations to Brother Li." Yu Entong was really happy for Li Hongzhi when he heard this, and said while entering Fengyi Garden: "The brothers and sisters of the Li family are very good, and I don't know why, the brothers and sisters of his family are all very good-looking, I have also seen the new Jinshi of the Li family, she is really handsome, this Li girl is also extremely beautiful, plus such a background, if Brother Li really marries her, it can't be said that she will really soar." ”

Li Hongzhi was even happier when he said this: "How dare you, how dare you, I just have a similar temperament with Miss Li, I told Brother Yu about this matter when I was close to Brother Yu, and asked Brother Yu to help me keep it secret first, and then talk about it when this matter is done, otherwise I will talk nonsense everywhere if the marriage is not successful, and it will not ruin Miss Li's reputation." ”

"Extremely, extremely." Yu Entong smiled and nodded: "Without the consent of the little lady, it is not a gentleman's work to shout everywhere." ”

At this time, Li Hongzhi and Yu Entong were talking about Li Mei, and Li Luaner and Li Mei were also talking about Li Hongzhi after they got into the carriage.

As soon as Li Luan'er entered the carriage, she pulled down her face, and she looked very angry, and Li Mei, who was frightened, lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.

When the carriage was moving, Li Luan'er let out a long sigh, took Li Mei's hand and said gently: "Mei girl, this Li Hongzhi is not a good person, I think you should break off with him." ”

One sentence is like five thunders for Li Mei, she is heartbroken and confused for a while, and a little embarrassed for a while, she wants to shake off Li Luan'er's hand but she doesn't have the guts, she just asked in a daze: "Why, isn't it because his family is poor, I am not afraid of poverty, my family is also poor, my brother can't even afford to read, the clothes we wear are patched, three meals a day are not continued, it is not as good as his family, besides, he is now admitted to the Jinshi, he can always change his family situation, and I will not suffer anything." ”

Li Luan'er shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Silly girl, your sister, am I so dislike the poor and love the rich?" ”

"Then why did my sister break him up with me?" Li Mei was even more confused.

Li Luan'er pulled Li Mei and listened to her carefully: "You listen to me, I heard you say that this situation of Li Hongzhi has a deep impression of him, and the situation in his family shows that he is a proud and talented, such a person will never live under people, since you like him, our family has no door view, and we will not marry you to a wealthy family, so I don't have anything to do with you, but now I saw him, and I completely changed my mind." ”

"Why?" Li Mei asked loudly, becoming more and more incomprehensible.

Li Luan'er said carefully: "His father died early, there was only a widow mother in the family, and his mother worked hard to raise him, and provided him with school and even scientific examinations. ”

Li Mei was silent when she listened, Li Luan'er saw that she was a little stunned, so she said: "This is not a small expense, it all depends on his widowed mother to maintain, to be honest, it is too hard, if he is a good one, he should help his mother well, but I look at his palm is smooth, except for the slightest callus in the place where he holds the pen, it means that he has not done any work, and I am afraid that he has not even washed his clothes, and he has not even done food, Mei girl, your brother is also from poverty, and your parents are both in your family and you help to do some housework, Doesn't your brother do any work, compared to him? ”

Li Mei, who was attracted by these words, also thought about it, thinking of her brother Li Fu, Li Mei burst into tears: "My brother has been working since he was a child, whether he is working in the field or cooking at home and doing housework, he is a good hand, but later with the support of his sister, he went to the county school, and every time he went home on vacation, he also helped his father to work in the fields, and my brother's calluses on his hands were made by doing work, and I ......"

After Li Mei spread out her hands, there were many calluses in the palms of her slender and white hands: "He is actually ...... I didn't pay attention to it before, according to my sister's statement, he actually asked his mother to take over all the work in the family alone, and he didn't have any help, how can such a selfish and unfilial person be a good person. ”

The party said that Li Mei and his party cried, and finally hid their faces and cried.

Li Luan'er listened to her crying sadly, and patted her on the shoulder carefully: "My sister is a smart person, I just think through a sentence, so good, it shows that you are a clear right and wrong, and you will not be deceived lightly." ”

There is only one sentence that Li Luan'er never told Li Mei, that is, or Li Hongzhi's mother is a beloved son who is obsessed, and always looks forward to her son's success, so she doesn't ask Li Hongzhi to help with the work, and wants to make him famous on the gold list, but how can such a mother teach a responsible son? And the widow who dotes on her son like this probably has some psychological problems, if you marry into such a family, not only to deal with a husband who has no sense of responsibility, but also to deal with always looking at you unpleasantly, and thinking that you are a mother-in-law who robs her son, for a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no problems.

Li Luan'er didn't want Li Mei to suffer like this, so she would tempt Li Mei to think of Li Hongzhi as a hypocrite who was not filial to her mother and was extremely selfish. R1152
