Chapter 346: Rejoice
"You girl, I haven't said anything yet, but you're going to be upset first."
Ruizhu's words made Li Luan'er feel a little better, and she couldn't help but joke with her: "Yes, I'll talk to your uncle when he comes back, so that he can have time to talk to you about a good mother-in-law." ”
The angry Ruizhu stomped his feet: "The slave and the eldest lady are serious, and the eldest lady is joking." ”
"Isn't this a serious thing to say about the in-laws?" Li Luan'er smiled: "Okay, I also know that your uncle has no intentions, but he is in a bad mood." ”
Ruizhu pursed her lips and smiled: "When my aunt comes back, I want to be in the mood of the eldest lady." ”
Li Luan'er didn't say anything to her, she asked Ruizhu to put down the bed tent, she took off her shoes, socks and coats, only said that she was sleepy, and fell asleep on the bed in the dark.
When Li Luan'er woke up, it was already three poles above the moon, she looked at the moonlight outside through the window, sat up in her cloak and shouted, "Ruizhu, what time is it?" ”
"Big lady, it's the beginning of the morning at this time, Mrs. Xushi asked someone to bring dinner, the big lady is sleeping soundly, the slave asked someone to serve it first, the big lady and wait, the slave went to ask someone to warm up some food." Ruizhu took a few steps over and lifted the bed net, and said with a smile while serving Li Luan'er to get up.
Li Luan'er slept for so long, and her stomach was hungry, so she waved her hand and asked Ruizhu to make her food.
Ruizhu went out with a smile, and after half a pillar of incense, he came in with a food box, at that time, Li Luan'er had already lit a candle, Ruizhu put the meal on the small table, Li Luan'er looked, but saw a plate of small pastries filled with fruit, a plate of fried dumplings, a plate of spring rolls, a large plate of fragrant soup dumplings, and a large pot of lean porridge.
The aroma of the meal went straight to Li Luan'er's nose, ticking her gluttony, Li Luan'er picked up a soup bag with chopsticks and ate it, Ruizhu took a bowl and filled a bowl of lean porridge with her and handed it over, Li Luan'er took it and took a sip: "This is Aunt Zheng's craft, I eat it sweetly." ”
"Exactly." Ruizhu laughed out of a dimple: "Aunt Zheng heard that the eldest lady wanted to eat, so she made it herself, and the slave also followed and tasted two fried dumplings." ”
"If you're hungry, eat some." Li Luan'er picked out some food to give to Ruizhu, and Ruizhu hurriedly excused herself: "The slave has already eaten, where will I be hungry, the eldest lady should eat quickly, the food will be cold for a while." ”
Li Luan'er didn't say anything, lowered her head and ate quickly, but with a pillar of incense, she swept away all the meals and touched her stomach: "It's still Aunt Zheng who knows the amount of food I eat, and the rice I get is just right." ”
After eating, Li Luan'er sent Ruizhu away, and she patiently practiced spiritual power, but she always remembered the letter written by Li Chun, and she couldn't practice anything, so she had no choice but to give up.
When Li Luan'er woke up on the second day, she thought about going to the old mansion to meet General Yan, and by the way, she didn't go back for a few days, and she should also ask the elders to see her, but before she cleaned up, she received a letter from Yan Chengyue.
The letter didn't say anything, only that he would come back in five or six days, Li Luan'er read it and put it away, and made up her mind to wait for Yan Chengyue to come back and ask him what Li Chun meant in the letter.
After reading the letter, Li Luan'er packed up and got into the carriage and went back to the old house, first greeted General Yan, played a game of chess with the old man, and then went to the back house to see Lin, sat with her for a while, and saw that Lin didn't say anything sour, Li Luan'er also said some good things with a smile.
Before lunch, Li Luan'er went back to Li's house, and as soon as she got home, she discussed with Mrs. Jin to prepare some gifts for Mrs. Gu.
Mrs. Jin has practiced medicine everywhere over the years, and those big families have also gone a lot, so she is knowledgeable about these etiquette, and she has put forward a lot of suggestions to Li Luan'er.
After Li Luan'er was ready, she discussed with Mrs. Gu, and finally decided on a gift, in order to make Mrs. Gu look good when she went to Wang's house, Li Luaner went to the woodware shop and the porcelain kiln to walk around, specially designed some paint, carved beaded wooden boxes and some exquisite porcelain, and spent a lot of money to ask the craftsman to make it in the shortest time.
The beads inlaid on the wooden box are all found from the Gu family, and the Gu family's business is now managed by Mrs. Gu and Gu Ming, Li Luan'er wants to use the beads, so naturally it doesn't cost anything, and it is more than half lower than the price on the market, so those wooden boxes are extremely valuable, and they really don't cost much silver.
After these packages were done, Li Luan'er wrapped all the gifts, and made them very exquisite, and the lady Gu was full of love, and she was almost reluctant to give them away.
Li Luan'er prepared early, and her movements were fast, but she was in time.
She prepared the gifts here, and the queen mother called the eunuch to announce the decree, and set a time for Mrs. Gu to go back to the king's house to recognize her relatives.
Mrs. Gu got the will, and when she thought of going to Feng'en Mansion, and thought that there were all her flesh and blood relatives, she was excited and worried for a while, and she couldn't sleep for several days, Li Luan'er had no choice but to discuss with Mrs. Jin, and the two of them helped her take care of the child and told Mrs. Gu to rest more.
On this day, when it was the day of Mrs. Gu's confession, she got up early in the morning, Li Luan'er helped her find a few clothes to try on, and finally settled on a water red silk shirt, under which was a green onion and yellow Luo skirt covered with a silver-red trimmed embroidered magnolia flower, and put her long hair in a startling bun, wearing a red gold carved flower inlaid with emerald wings, and a red gold carved tassel hairpin was inserted on one side.
Li Luan'er personally found fat powder to put on good makeup for Mrs. Gu, this dress made Mrs. Gu even more delicate, with some wealth and nobility, but also saw some freshness.
After cleaning up, Mrs. Gu went out with the two girls, and Li Luan'er kept sending her out of the door and told her a few words before returning it.
Mrs. Gu went and didn't come back until mid-afternoon, Li Luan'er saw that although her eyes were red, she was smiling, and she was full of light, so she knew that this was very good, and she was relieved.
Waiting for Mrs. Gu to rest for a while, she came to look for Li Luan'er, and her sister-in-law sat down and talked for a while, Li Luan'er knew that just a few days after they were preparing gifts, the Queen Mother first summoned the people of the Wang family, and told the Wang family that she had found Wang Wu'er and her daughter, and asked the Wang family to prepare to recognize her relatives, after that, the Queen Mother and the official family summoned Zhong Mingpeng and his wife respectively, and Zhong Mingpeng's errand after entering Beijing was also decided, he entered the Ministry of War, and he was supposed to be the head of the Ministry of War. actually got an errand with him for the right attendant of the military department, but the original right attendant was found by the official family to find a reason to attack.
After learning about this incident, Mrs. Gu was still a little uneasy, afraid that the official family would have an opinion on her because of this, and she felt that because she called someone a good official, she was always uncomfortable.
Li Luan'er smiled after hearing this: "Sister-in-law don't worry, I know the right waiter of the military department, it turns out that Lord Xing also told me that the right waiter of the military department is old, a little confused, not only greedy, but also occupies a position and does not do business, the original official family has long looked at him unpleasantly, but there is no agreeable person to take over, and now it is about to see that Uncle Zhong's character and talent are good, which is why he took the position of the right waiter, although the official family said that he is the cousin of his sister-in-law, but he has to be the emperor of the Dayong Dynasty first, and he will not abolish the public because of personal interests." ”
Li Luan'er's words soothed Mrs. Gu's heart very much, so that she was not so worried.
After that, Mrs. Gu told some things about the Feng'en Mansion, in the mouth of Mrs. Gu, those people in the Feng'en Mansion are all good, especially the old country grandfather loves Mrs. Gu very much, the uncle and the eldest lady of the Wang family are also very kind people, cousins and cousins are also very good, and the gifts of the eldest lady Gu were also sent out, which was very loved by the Wang family.
Listening to Mrs. Gu's narration, Li Luan'er was also relieved, and said to Mrs. Gu with a smile: "Sister-in-law now has a lot of relatives, not only Uncle Zhong is close to take care of her, but also has a family of relatives, and from now on, there are many places to move around, but there is no need to worry about the Gu family looking for trouble." ”
Mrs. Gu also smiled: "I think the same way, after all, my father doesn't have me in his heart, although I say that I am cold to him, but I also want him to live better, I can't bear to pay my aunt, but I can't bear my father's sorrow, no matter what I say, Brother Ying is always born to Aunt Fu, and now I want to open it, I won't bully Aunt Fu and them, but I won't pay attention to them, they should all be strangers." ”
Li Luan'er saw that Mrs. Gu was cheerful, and knew that she must have many relatives, and she had a bottom in her heart, plus someone loved her, so she should have thought about it completely, and she no longer prayed for Gu Cheng's little fatherly love.
Li Luan'er and Mrs. Gu talked about the people and things of the Wang family, who knows, the outside has already been turned upside down because of this matter.
Zhong family
Zhong Mingpeng has been in a very good mood these days, and today is the case, so he went to the Yamen of the Ministry of War to report, and talked to Xing Hu for a long time with Li Luan'er's relationship, and invited his colleagues to eat and drink in Derui Building, and returned home after contacting the relationship.
Because he drank too much wine, Zhong Mingpeng was a little drunk, and he was a little unstable at the foot of the door, and the two family members took him to Ying's courtyard. How do you drink like this? ”
Zhong Mingpeng choked at his feet, and grabbed Ying's hand: "I'm happy, I'm really happy, I met Lord Xing from the Ministry of War today, you don't know, the relationship between Lord Xing and the Li family is not ordinary, as soon as he heard that I am the uncle of the wife of the Li family, he is very close to me, and introduced me to many colleagues, no, I am a newcomer, naturally I want to pay for food and wine......
Ying smiled and helped Zhong Mingpeng to lie on the bed, took off his shoes himself, took a warm handkerchief and wiped his face while saying: "Come to think of it, we are stained with the light of my niece, these days, I always think, what if, ...... It's hard to guarantee that others won't say that we rely on nepotism......"
"What is this called?" Zhong Mingpeng is not such a pedantic person: "Others can't rely on it even if they want to, you say, I never expected that Sister A would be the queen mother's sister-in-law, Wan'er actually recognized her relationship with the queen mother, now that I think about it, it's really like a dream." ”
When Ying Shi heard this, he only felt funny: "Yes, it's like a dream, but it's a good dream, no matter what you say, with this relationship, Ah Lang can always show his mind, and we don't have to live hard in Lingnan." ”
Zhong Mingpeng just laughed while lying down, laughing and laughing louder and louder: "I, I'm just thinking about how the Gu family has to regret it now, then Gu Chengzhen really lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame seeds, and pushed a good noble person out of the door, but asked me to pick up the ready-made cheap." ”R1152
