But said that on this day, Li Luan'er instructed Ma Fang to send the Dong family, who took her silver but did not take good care of her father's grave, to prison, and was just about to talk to Yan Chengyue about repairing the archway, when she heard a girl outside: "Grandma, Liu Shun's family asks to see." ”

This Liu Shun's family is the housekeeper in the old house in Fenghuang County, she is clean and neat, and she is very convincing to the public.

Li Luan'er asked someone to bring her in, and this Liu Shunjia entered the house with his head bowed with his post, and after walking a few steps, he saw Yan Chengyue wearing a cyan shirt, his black hair was loosely pulled, and he walked out of the house with a free and easy demeanor.

She didn't dare to look at it, so she quickly lowered her eyebrows and saluted.

Yan Chengyue just waved his hand, and when Liu Shun's family entered the house, he asked Li Luan'er to say goodbye, and sent the post to him: "Grandma, this is the post that the Tao family asks to see." ”

"Tao?" Li Luan'er took a sip of tea with her bare hands, and her brows furrowed: "I haven't heard of it." ”

Liu Shunjia smiled: "Speaking of which, it can be regarded as an old relative of our family, when our ancestors rebelled with Emperor Taizu, this Tao family gave some because of some family wealth, and later Dayong Chu built the Tao family and also sealed the official, and the ancestor married the little lady of the same family as a brother-in-law, the original relationship was not bad, but the Tao family was a little snobbish, and slowly looked at our family as if there was no successor, and it was more and more estranged." ”

"I see." Li Luan'er nodded to show that she understood, thinking in her heart that this kiss is really old, who can still remember the kiss that was married more than a hundred years ago until now, that is, these old people in the family still have some impressions because they often do things, but this Tao family is not good to think about. It doesn't matter what you can't see.

I listened to Liu Shun's words again: "The old man of the Tao family was also an official before, and the old man of the Tao family also passed the examination, and then the old man Tao resigned for some reason and returned to live in the county, but it was only three years ago. ”

"Let's put the post away, and I'll discuss it with him when the uncle comes back." Li Luan'er glanced at Liu Shun's family: "You told the people of the Tao family that we just came back, and the family is busy, and we will invite them to come to the door after the house is sorted out in two days." ”

The Liu family smiled and said that they knew, and quit very measuredly.

Li Luan'er picked up the post and looked at it twice. He laughed and put it down again.

Then she dressed up and went to the secluded temple to see the monk who the host had invited her. He also promised to donate how much sesame oil money he would donate, and then he agreed with the monks on the day of the practice.

Naturally, this puja will be held in a secluded temple, and Li Luan'er will give out the silver. The monks of the hermitage temple helped. In addition, one of the qiē food and accommodation in the meantime is also in the secluded temple. Now that Li Luan'er is not short of money, coupled with what Li Feng'er said, she decided to do nine days of ritual in a row. There are a lot of days, and the expenses during this period are naturally more, but fortunately, Li Luaner doesn't care, and both sides are happy.

When Li Luan'er went back, Yan Chengyue was already at home, only saying that the craftsmen had been found, and Ming'er began to repair the archway.

Yan Chengyue took the post and looked at it twice and threw it aside: "It's an old family after all, it's not good for us to close the door and not see it, it's not a big deal, if they want to come, come on, you work hard for a day, get some vegetables to greet his wife for a day." ”

Li Luan'er nodded yes, and discussed some family matters with Yan Chengyue before falling asleep.

Two days later, Li Luan'er asked someone to send a post to Tao's house, asking Tao's family to come back every two days.

After that, she wrote a recipe for the kitchen to prepare, and asked someone to tidy up the garden, and prepared to entertain the wife and girl of the Tao family there.

After two or three days of hard work, on this day, the Tao family came to the door, Li Luan'er got up early in the morning to prepare, and in the middle of the morning, the people of the Tao family really came.

But it was the uncle of the Tao family who brought his eldest son, and the eldest lady who came with the second lady's family.

Uncle Tao has a son and two daughters, the eldest daughter is the biggest, now it should be almost thirty years old, has already promised people, these two ladies are the youngest, but also seventeen or eighteen years old, and they have also reached the age of marriage, but these two ladies are concubines, the eldest lady is holding the marriage of the second lady, so that she is not high or low until now.

Li Luan'er has figured out the situation of the Tao family in the past few days, and when she saw the eldest lady enter the door, and saw her with a seventeen or eighteen-year-old beautiful lady, she knew that this must be the second lady, she stepped forward with a smile: "Our family has not been in contact for many years, I am the new daughter-in-law, I have never seen you, and the rude is still looking at Haihan." ”

The eldest lady of the Tao family smiled: "Don't talk about you, I can't recognize all the people in your family at such an age." ”

As she spoke, she looked at Li Luan'er a few more times, and smiled extraordinarily charitable: "It is said that the Yan family has picked up a treasure, and that the Yan family's grandmother is good and capable, I can't think of how good it is, but when I see it today, I can't even speak, I really can't find a word to describe it from the book, and I can only say a good word." ”

Li Luan'er knew that she was good at flattery, and she didn't take it seriously, so she just smiled and invited them into the house.

At one time, she ordered someone to bring tea and snacks, and she greeted Mrs. Tao with a smile: "This is the new Longjing this year, I drink it well, you can also taste it." ”

Mrs. Tao took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and sat dignifiedly: "This tea is good, and the rare water for cooking tea is also good, but I don't know where to get it?" ”

Li Luan'er raised her eyebrows: "You don't know, there is a clear spring at the foot of Phoenix Mountain in the west of our county, and the spring water is excellent, and our family has always taken the water there for tea." ”

"It's really good." Mrs. Tao praised again: "This time I know, Ming'er asked someone to fetch water." ”

Li Luan'er looked at Tao Erniangzi again: "Erniangzi is really good, she looks bright, you are welcome, how about tasting the dim sum made by my chef." ”

Tao Erniang thanked her, took a snack and tasted it, only boasting that it was good.

After talking for a while, Li Luan'er invited Mrs. Tao and the second lady to play in the garden.

Mrs. Tao happily agreed, and the three of them took their respective girls to the garden.

The house in Fenghuang County of the Yan family is an old house, and it is inevitable that some places will be dilapidated, even if it is repaired in time, it is not as good as the house in Beijing.

Only the old house in Phoenix County covers a very wide area, and the area of the garden is also large, although there are no exotic flowers and plants, but because of the good planning, it looks very chic.

In the end, it is also the house of the military general's family, many tall ancient trees are planted in the garden, and the flowers planted are also less beautiful, only one place is separated by a fence, and a few precious peonies are planted in it, in addition to this, there are some spring orchids, and the rest are some flowers and plants that are easy to feed, but because the garden is large, the flowers and plants are planted in patches and are also very beautiful.

Li Luan'er invited Mrs. Tao and Mrs. Tao into a pavilion near the water, where there were already a few dried fruits from Fenghuang County, such as boiled chestnuts, walnuts, fried melon seeds, etc., and a pot of new tea.

The three of them sat down, and Tao Erniangzi pointed to the pond next to him: "The water in this pond is clean, much larger than my pond, if you plant lotus flowers, you should have the scene of infinite blue lotus leaves in summer." ”

Li Luan'er smiled: "I planted lotus, but it hasn't grown yet, but I can see the infinite blue of the lotus leaves, and I am afraid that the lotus flowers in the sun are not red." ”

"Why?" Mrs. Tao and Mrs. Tao asked together.

Li Luan'er said with a smile: "My uncle has always liked white lotus, a few years ago, when he was recuperating in the old house, he called all the white lotuses, but there was no red lotus." ”

"It's funny, too." Mrs. Tao also laughed: "My second lady has always liked the white lotus the most, and often says that the white lotus is quiet, but she is more gentlemanly than the red lotus." ”

"It's just that I think it's too plain." Li Luan'er shook her head with a smile: "But I can't resist my uncle, and I don't know how many years I can come back in the old house, so I will be cleaned up by him." ”

Speaking of this, Li Luan'er looked at the sky: "I fell in love with you at first sight, I just cared about talking, I forgot the time, and when I saw that it was time to eat, the kitchen should have prepared the meal, I saw that the sky was good today, and the scenery in this garden could barely be seen, so I might as well use some food here." ”

Mrs. Tao hurriedly agreed, and the second lady Tao got up and said goodbye.

Li Luan'er called the girl to set up the banquet, and saw Yan Chengyue and a short and fat man in his forties and fifties walking over, seeing Li Luan'er, Yan Chengyue smiled: "It's better that you are also here, Brother Tao and I avoided ......"

Mrs. Tao and Mrs. Tao have already come to see the ceremony, Yan Chengyue has to be polite to the two, Li Luan'er has also seen the Tao family's uncle, the Tao family's uncle is chubby, with a smile on his face, and he looks amiable like a laughing Maitreya.

He pointed to himself and Mrs. Tao: "My wife and I are so old, what do you want to avoid, and our two families are good families, and there is no one next to us here, it is better to eat together, I have an idea, we don't need a big round table, no eight immortal tables, just a few short, each person picks up a few dishes to eat, but also chic." ”

Since Uncle Tao said so, Yan Chengyue and Li Luan'er did not object, Li Luan'er asked Ruizhu to bring someone to move a few short dishes over to furnish them, and asked the kitchen to make a few other dishes and bring them up.

After a while, the five of them sat down, Yan Chengyue poured wine and drank with Uncle Tao, and Li Luaner also took a wine glass to pay tribute to Mrs. Tao.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Uncle Tao smiled and said: "This wine is good wine, but it's a pity that it is not accompanied by good songs and dances." ”

"Uncle." Mrs. Tao glared at him: "You still think this is a restaurant, you can find a dancer, you can stop." ”

"Stop, stop." Uncle Tao waved his hand: "It's all your own family, Zhi'er, you can sing a song with your father." ”

Li Luan'er felt bad when she heard Uncle Tao say about singing and dancing, and her face was even worse when she heard him ask Tao Erniang to sing, but the Tao family was a guest, and Li Luan'er was not good to attack in front of them. (To be continued......)
