Chapter 246: The Newcomer
Zhang Ying sat in a sedan chair into a small house not far from Cui's house, and when she got off the sedan chair, she looked at the suffocating house with disgust, and she became more and more disgusted with Cui Zhenggong who had fallen to such a point.
After straightening her clothes, Zhang Ying slowly walked into the main hall, seeing that Cui Zhenggong and Song didn't know what they were talking about, she suppressed the troubles in her heart and went over to pay respects, Song didn't seem to expect her to come back so quickly, and asked, "Are you back so early?" You didn't stay at Li's house for dinner? Or did you not go at all? ”
Zhang Ying endured it so that she didn't sneer: "My daughter-in-law went, and I rushed back thinking that there was no one to take care of me at home." ”
"Why is there no one to take care of it at home?" Song Shi made a cold face: "What's the use of telling you about you, asking you to participate in the wedding banquet is not to give gifts, but to ask you to stay in the Li family for a while, it is best to have a relationship with Li Luan'er, if the Li family goes to any distinguished guests, you can also show up, so as to find more help for Gong'er, you are born to keep face, you will do it, you will regret it in the future." ”
Originally, Cui Zhenggong wanted to come back if he came back, but when he heard Song say this, he thought about Zhang Ying's temper again, and he also understood in his heart that Zhang Ying was afraid that she was not worried about the fact that no one at home would return, she was unwilling to be embarrassed in front of Li Luan'er, and she was not willing to slap the Li family, so she rushed back for the sake of face.
"That's what Mother said." Cui Zhenggong also lowered his face: "Zhang, why are you so unvirtuous?" ”
Zhang Ying was full of anger, she said in her heart that I am really not virtuous, where do I dare to be virtuous, Li Luan'er was so virtuous before, didn't you ask your Cui family to take a break? I'm going to be really virtuous, maybe I won't be as good as Li Luan'er.
But she didn't dare to say this, she could only think about it in her heart, Zhang Ying beat her spirit: "Xianggong, I'm ...... Where would I not worry about Xianggong's future, but didn't you see how arrogant that Li Luaner was, when he saw me, I didn't say that he asked me to enter the door, but humiliated me, and he didn't even let Xianggong go, no matter how good my temper was, I couldn't stand it. ”
When Cui Zhenggong heard this, he thought of Li Luan'er's current appearance, and his expression suddenly dimmed: "Okay, it's not your fault, you go back to the house to rest first." ”
"Okay." Zhang Ying smiled and turned around with the girl and went out.
As soon as she left, Cui Zhenggong looked at the Song family: "Mother, Li Luan'er is ruthless and doesn't want to have anything to do with us anymore, this Li family, let's not have anything to do with it in the future." ”
The Song family was a little unwilling, but thinking of Li Luan'er's ruthlessness, he beat the drum in his heart, and he was unwilling to respond.
Speaking of the Li family, she is easy to entertain the guests, and many of the guests who are drunk at home are carried into the carriage and sent away, Li Luan'er turned around and commanded the people to clean up the leftovers, and Mrs. Jin asked Mrs. Gu and the Qin family to drink tea together, and in the evening, Li Luan'er and Li Mei watched the subordinates clean up and down the house.
Rubbing her somewhat sour neck, Li Luaner took the gift slip and went back to the room.
She sat cross-legged on the bed, put a small table in front of her, a few snacks and a pot of tea on the table, Li Luan'er was busy and almost didn't eat anything this day, and now she was hungry, and she felt that she could eat even a pig.
She twisted the snack in one hand and put it in her mouth, while looking at the gifts and gift money registered on the gift list.
While watching, Li Luan'er converted the value of these things in her heart, and added them all the way, and the final number she got was even a big surprise to herself.
She didn't expect that Li Chuncheng would receive such a few things, not to mention anything else, just saying that the gift money is enough for the family to live for several years, and the valuable gifts received in the treasury are even more valuable, if they really exchange them for money, it is enough for them to spend for a lifetime.
The things rewarded by the official family alone are worth a lot of money, plus General Yan, General Gao and Lord Wu all gave generous gifts, in addition, the Gu family and the Pei family also gave a lot of valuable things, and the gifts from the Xing family and the Hu family were not thin, as well as Yu Xi......
In addition to these people, there were also a lot of items sent by the guests who couldn't even be named by Li Luan'er, and the number of scattered items was quite amazing.
She looked at it for a long time, and finally put away the gift list with a sigh, planning to hand it over to Mrs. Gu in a few days.
It stands to reason that Li Luan'er should be happy with the gifts received at home, but she can't be happy no matter how she lives, speaking of which, this is all debt, the Li family is a person who respects me a foot and I respect people, others have given generous gifts, and if there is anything red and white in the family, they will also give a big gift, and these gifts will be thicker in the future, so she can't calculate whether this is a profit or a loss.
Li Luan'er only thought about it for a moment and put these things behind, she thought that she would work hard to save more good things in the future, otherwise, although there was no shortage of gold and silver at home, it was rare to be able to buy good things.
You said the gifts from the storeroom......
Oh, that's not allowed to be given away, most of the gifts are sent by acquaintances, if there is something you take to give, it will inevitably be seen by people, so it is not beautiful, it is crossed to send, and it is not possible to say that people can see it, it is better to keep it for their own use, and then store some things for gifts.
Li Luan'er was thinking about what to say to Mrs. Gu, asking her family's antique shop and pawnshop plus Western goods shop to keep some attention, and there were some good things for her to prepare, when she heard Li Mei's voice outside: "Sister Luan, I'm here." ”
"Come in." Li Luan'er was busy putting away the gift list, jumped out of bed and said with a smile.
Li Mei pushed the door in, frowned and said to Li Luan'er: "Sister Luan, hurry up and take a look, my brother and Brother Li Chun are all drunk, just now we were busy cleaning up the house and didn't care about looking for them, and when I found them, they were lying in the wing room and falling asleep." ”
As soon as Li Luan'er heard this, she hurriedly pulled Li Mei and walked out, complaining as she went: "My brother and the rich brother are too, and you have to drink more leisurely, what's the point of getting drunk, the rich brother is fine, it's a big deal to sleep for two days, but my brother still has a cave room today, what should I think if I drink like that and call my sister-in-law?" ”
Li Mei also nodded, but still argued a few words for the two elder brothers: "Sister Luan also knows that there are many guests today, many of them are familiar people, and our family is small, Brother Li Chun and my brother don't know how many tables to toast, this alone can make people drunk, not to mention that there are still some people who make a fuss, didn't you see, I heard Ma Fang say, that Lord Wu is too different, and he actually poured Brother Li Chun several glasses of wine noisily." ”
Li Luan'er frowned even more when she heard this, and made a note of Lord Wu in her heart.
The two of them entered the wing room while talking, and saw two people on the kang, Li Chun was wearing a bright red groom robe lying on the bed and sleeping dead, Li Fu was also wearing a festive dress, the whole person was lying on Li Chun's stomach, and his hands were still gesturing: "Drink, who said I can't drink it......"
Li Luan'er's brows tightened even more, and she turned back to Li Mei and said, "You go and ask Ma Fang to get two buckets of hot water and put them in the bathroom, and then find two clean clothes to prepare, by the way, go back and talk to your sister-in-law, and say that my brother has drunk a little too much today, sober up first, and then go over after a while." ”
Li Mei nodded when she heard this, and turned around to order.
Li Luan'er took a few steps, and carried Li Fu and Li Chun into the bathroom one by one, and the two large buckets of hot water she saw had been placed.
Li Mei was a little dumbfounded when she saw Li Chun and Li Fu being thrown into the bucket so lightly by Li Luan'er: "Sister Luan, this, this ......"
"The smell of alcohol is stinking." Li Luan'er wrinkled her nose in disgust: "Ma Fang, you bring two people in to help them take off their clothes and wash them well." ”
"Yes!" Ma Fang came in with two servants.
Li Luan'er took Li Mei out, Li Mei was still a little unconscious, and her mouth was thinking: "Wash, wash......"
It took a lot of effort for Ma Fang to wash Li Fu and Li Chun and change their clothes, and after helping the two people out, Li Luan'er took two bowls of unpleasant decanting soup, pinched the noses of the two of them in a few steps, and poured them down one by one.
It didn't take long for Li Fu and Li Chun to start coughing violently, and after coughing for a while, they came to their senses.
Li Chun opened his eyes in a daze, looked left and right, and saw that he was sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, and Li Luan'er was looking at him coldly, and was immediately startled: "Sister, sister......"
Li Luan'er stretched out her hand to help Li Chunlai: "Brother, you finally woke up, your sister-in-law is still waiting for you in the new house, hurry up and lift your hijab, if it's too late, be careful that your sister-in-law ignores you." ”
One sentence frightened Li Chun, and he stood up with a miserable face and ran to the new house: "Sister, the bride ignores it and intercedes." ”
Li Luan'er ignored him and glanced back at Li Fu: "Brother Fu, you should also be sober, hurry up and go back to clean up, be careful of Feng Ming'er's headache." ”
"Alas!" Li Fu felt deeply ashamed, and promised to go back with a red face.
Li Luan'er whispered behind him: "You are still young, drink less in the future." ”
Li Fu lowered his shoulders even more: "Sister Luan, I know." ”
Li Luan'er shook her head with a wry smile, touched her hungry flat belly, and didn't call anyone, she went to the kitchen alone to find some food to fill her stomach.
waited until midnight, Li Luan'er saw that there was nothing wrong in the new house, and heard the person in the corner reply that Li Chun and the bride were very harmonious, so she was relieved, changed her clothes and went to bed.
On the second day, Li Luan'er woke up early in the morning, first went to Mrs. Jin's room to say hello, and saw that Li Fu's family also came early, she went to ask Li Lianshu and the Qin family to say goodbye, a few people sat around and had breakfast, and Ruifang said back and forth that Li Chun and Mrs. Gu were here.
Mrs. Jin asked someone to hurry up and invite her in, Li Luan'er also looked over attentively, and saw Li Chun helping Mrs. Gu to enter the door with a smile on her face, and when she crossed the threshold, Li Chun also gently told Mrs. Gu to be careful, and Mrs. Gu was also full of shyness, and seemed to be very satisfied with Li Chun.
Seeing the sweetness of the love between the two, Li Luan'er felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, as if a well-raised child had become someone else's family...... R1152
