Chapter 13 Invitation

It's a small, rudimentary iron box.

Banqin took it and gave it to Cheng Jianniang.

Cheng Jianniang stretched out her hand to open it, her usual indifferent complexion changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.

What is that? Banqin looked from the side and saw a long paper tube in the open box, bulging, weird, and exuding a strange smell.

"What's your last name?" Cheng Jianniang raised her head and asked.

Li Mao was slightly stunned, he stared at the little lady with the courage to star, and naturally saw the surprise flashing in the little lady's eyes, and knew that he had guessed correctly, but he didn't expect that the next moment she didn't ask about this thing, but asked herself.

And it's a bit ridiculous to ask, what's the last name?

"A certain surname is Li, and his name is Mao." Li Mao replied.

Shicai has already reported it, and it seems that this little lady didn't take it to heart at all.

"The surname is Li." Cheng Jianniang repeated, looked at Li Mao, and paused for a moment, "The original surname is Li, or do you plan to change your surname in the future?" ”

Li Mao asked this sentence messily.

How could anyone ask such a thing?

Is this scolding, deceiving teachers, and destroying ancestors? Probably not, right? If there is no injustice or hatred, you won't come up and scold people, right?

Or rather, it's a stupid remark...

This little lady used to be a fool, although it was said that she was ignited by the gods... Although it is said that he has been taught by a famous teacher, and he has learned so many magical skills, he is still different from ordinary people....

How to deal with fools Li Mao doesn't know, but thinking about fools are all mentally incomplete like children who will never grow up, Li Mao has a six-year-old daughter, and he still knows how to deal with children.

Dealing with children. Just follow her literal answer or question.

"I've always been surnamed Li. I am the seventh concubine of the Li family's fireworks and now long house. So he replied earnestly. I don't plan to change my surname in the future, unless I commit a heinous sin and be removed from my ancestors..."

"If you are excommunicated, what do you want to have your last name?" Cheng Jianniang immediately asked.

This time, even Banqin looked sideways, and looked at Li Mao with a little worry.

Will you faint or walk away in shame?

Her lady's sometimes speaking style is really not something that ordinary people can bear.

"In addition to the clan, I am still surnamed Li..."Li Mao said with the corners of his mouth pulled.

Cheng Jianniang sighed and looked at the iron box in her hand again.

"I'm not in the business." She said, pushing the tin box back. "This can't be a business either."

This can't be a business...

That's right, if she thinks the same as she thinks, she really can't do business.

Seeing that the girl here was about to send off the guest, Li Mao was a little anxious and a little panicked.

"Lady, lady, you recognize this, right?" He said.

The lady just glanced at it, didn't say a word or ask this, why did he say that the lady recognized it? Banqin was a little puzzled, and turned her head to look at Cheng Jianniang.

Cheng Jianniang nodded.

"I recognize." She said.

Good, honest!

Li Mao couldn't help but take a step forward.

"That. Lady, I can't do it right. It doesn't always work, I... I don't understand," he stammered.

"What do you want to do with it?" Cheng Jianniang asked.

Li Mao was stunned.

"I don't know...," he said.

Banqin frowned again, what is this called? Don't know what to do to do this?

She looked at Li Mao, and saw that this person's expression was really a little confused, and she frowned, as if she really didn't know.

"You don't even know what to do with it, so how do you know if it's okay?" Cheng Jianniang asked.

Li Mao was stunned again.

"It's not that I don't know what to do with it, I just don't know... I don't know," he said, as if he didn't know how to describe it, and in a hurry, he seemed to depict something, but he didn't know what it should be.

The moment he raised his hand, his eyes became clearer.

"yes." "I really don't know how to use it," he muttered, "so it's no wonder it's always wrong." ”

Get up and run.

Banqin looked at the man who went out with a gust of wind, and the girls and guards in the yard were also stunned.

Stunned, Li Mao ran back with a bang.

"Thank you for your advice." He said with a blushing face.

"Don't dare, I'm just asking the truth." Cheng Jianniang said, pushing the iron box again, "You forgot to take your things." ”

Li Mao looked at her and shook his head.

"If the lady doesn't dislike it, keep it." He said, kneeling down and kowtowing suddenly, "This was originally thought of when I saw the lady's fireworks, the ancients said that the word master, although he did not dare to call himself an apprentice, but Li Mao did not dare to deceive the teacher." ”

For apprentices?

Everyone in the courtyard was stunned.

Li Mao also seemed to know the absurdity of what he said, and immediately fled after speaking, as if he turned around and left, walked to the door and stopped.

"Lady, what's that person's surname?" He asked suddenly.

What the? Which one?

Everyone was still stunned, and Cheng Jianniang looked at Li Mao.

"The surname is Chen." She said.

Li Mao bowed and saluted.

"Li Mao remembered." He said aloud, turning and walking away.

Silence returned to the courtyard.

Banqin sat down on his knees and picked up the tin box.

"Lady, do you want to put it away?" She asked.

Cheng Jianniang stretched out her hand to take it and looked at it, looking thoughtful.

"Lady, what's this called?" Banqin asked.

"What's it called?"

"Oh Xiaofang, don't move, I can't move anything here..."

"Why don't you call it the princess?"

"Princess, what did your father say to you again? Are you going to calculate me again? ”

“… Hmph, I won't tell you..."

"Then I won't tell you..."

Cheng Jianniang covered the box and lowered her gaze.

"I don't know." She said.

Do you recognize it again but can't remember it? Banqin said in her heart, but she was afraid that she would be sad and nodded and asked what she would eat at night.

"Shiro-kun lives in a new house, and he is strange and boring, so we invite him to dinner." She laughs.

The maid of the house prepared for Master Cheng's family will be completed in two or three days. Now Cheng Shilang lives. I bought some new maids, and the small maid's yard was also sent over.

He rushed all the way from Jiangzhou. I definitely can't take care of my homework, and it's a blessing that I didn't drag down my body, so let him study hard, and it won't be long before next year's exam. Cheng Jianniang said.

Banqin nodded.

"I don't know if Shiro-kun can win." She said, while clasping her hands, she thought of something, "Lady, let's go to Puxiu Temple to make incense for Shiro-kun, right?" ”

"Yes. Yes, this is good, when you go, when you go. The maidservant heard it under the corridor and said busily, and asked the Huang family to join hands and invite, "The eldest lady will also go with you." ”

Huang, who was standing in the yard and watching the girl take the child to learn to walk, smiled.

"It's November, it's cold, and it's time to ask the Bodhisattva to bless me from chilblains." She said.

Cheng Jianniang nodded and said hello.

"You can only use Shiro-kun to get the lady out." The maidservant whispered to Banqin, who came out.

Banqin pursed her lips and smiled, and before she could speak, there was another knock on the door.

"Who's here at this time?"

Both of them looked over to them. The porter opened the door and saw a grinning chamberlain standing.

"Mrs. Cheng. The slave maid is from the Qingwang Mansion. He hurriedly said, holding a post, "King Qing and King Jin'an invite the lady to come to the banquet tomorrow." ”

King of Jin'an?

A group of people were busy inviting the waiter to come in, but the waiter smiled and waved his hand to accept the courtesy.

"Your Highness said that there is nothing else, just like the people, move to a new house, and want to invite the lady to sit and take a look." He said, "There is no one else, just invite a lady." ”

To pick up or not to answer?

Everyone's eyes fell on Cheng Jiaoniang, this lady almost never went out, let alone socialized with people.

Although the king of the county is not an ordinary person, this lady is not an ordinary person...

Bet with the emperor, learn calligraphy in front of the door......these things that other people don't even dare to think about, she just did what she said.

It is not uncommon to refuse an invitation from a county king.

"Okay, thank you, Lord Wang." Cheng Jianniang said.

As soon as these words came out, the waiter couldn't help but let out a gaffe, and hurriedly took a few steps forward.

The maidservant hurriedly reached out and took the gilded invitation, and handed over a bag of money.

"There is Father-in-law Lao." She laughs.

The waiter was not polite, took Shi Li with a smile and turned away.

"Then I can only wait for the day after tomorrow to go to Puxiu Temple." Banqin said.

The handmaiden nodded.

"I'm going to say hello to the temple." She said.

Cheng Jianniang took the post and turned back to the house to continue reading.

Huang stood in the courtyard, looked into the house, and looked into the courtyard.

"But, I received an invitation from the palace." She said, "Should we be talking about going to Puxiu Temple tomorrow?"

"Prepare all the clothes and jewelry you want to wear tomorrow in advance, right?"

Huang said.

"Big lady, no." Banqin smiled.

"There are only a few sets of women's clothes, and if you change them, you don't change them." The maidservant also laughed.

"The same goes for jewelry, except for the little comb and hairpin." Banqin smiled again, "It's better to think about what to eat tomorrow morning." ”

Huang shook his head.

"I'll do what I can." She learned what Fan Jianglin often said, and clapped her hands at the children in the yard who were learning to walk, "Come, come, come to my aunt." ”

On the second schedule, Jiao Niang got up as always to shoot archery and eat, practiced calligraphy outside the door, and when all this was done, she changed her clothes again and pulled her hair and sideburns and went out.

"It's no different from going to Puxiu Temple." Huang shook his head and said, thinking of something and hurriedly reminding, "What about the congratulatory gift?" ”

How do you see Banqin, this girl empty-handed? I didn't see anyone else put it in the car.

"The lady has it." Banqin smiled.

Huang looked at Cheng Jianniang, also empty-handed, where to take it?

Cheng Jianniang smiled at her, stretched out her hand and shook it.

Nothing, huh? Huang was even more puzzled, and before he could speak, a horse galloped.

Qin Shisanlang pulled his horse down.

"You're going out?" He asked, somewhat surprised.

Cheng Jianniang nodded.

"So, I'm here to invite you to a banquet." Qin Shisanlang said with a smile.

"I have an appointment." Cheng Jianniang said.

Qin Shisanlang was a little surprised.

"And what about that night?" He asked with a quick smile.

"At night, I don't go out." Cheng Jianniang said.

After entering Beijing this time, she became famous, but she was quieter, and she used to go out for a meal, but now she is almost closed.

"Tomorrow noon." Qin Shisanlang smiled again.

Cheng Jianniang still shook her head.

"Tomorrow I want to go to Puxiu Temple to make incense, and I have set a vegetarian fast in Puxiu Temple." She said.

If it's settled, it's a vegetarian fast, Huang opened his mouth to speak, but was pulled down by the maid on the side in time.

The maidservant shook her head at her, and Huang stopped talking.

"Quit." Qin Shisanlang smiled, "It's my birthday tomorrow." ”

"That's not a coincidence." Cheng Jianniang said, and saluted again, "It's set, it's inconvenient to push." ”

Qin Shisanlang smiled and nodded.

"Okay, I know, you're the most disciplined, and it's all because I didn't invite you earlier." He said, turning over his horse, "Well, you can't live without a gift." ”

Cheng Jianniang smiled slightly, nodded with a salute.

"Okay." She said.

Qin Shisanlang smiled at her and bowed his hand, turned his horse's head and left, walked to the street and looked back again, and saw that the house of Yudaiqiao had been closed, and the carriage entourage that was going to the other side had merged into the street and gradually moved away.

The smile on his face faded.

"Rules, is it really not enough to have a little favor?" He said to himself, glancing in the direction behind him, "Or is it still not enough?" ”

He sighed, turned his head, and urged his horse away.
