Three days later, the eldest master of the Li family and Mrs. Li suddenly came to visit Ning Mansion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Master Li and Mrs. Li went to Qixiang Courtyard first, exchanged pleasantries with Mrs. Ning, and then proposed to the old lady to take away Li Yuanjing and Li Yuanqian.

"The two children have been bothered here for a long time, and thanks to your careful care, it is time for them to go back too, or they will be too happy to go home." Mrs. Li smiled, "These two children usually cause you a lot of trouble. ”

Old Mrs. Ning smiled gently, "How come, the two sons are very sensible, and they have never been unruly, and they have been very well educated." Although they are going back this time, they can still come to Ningfu at any time in the future, and Ningfu is very welcome. ”

Regarding their request to take the Li brothers, Mrs. Ning naturally didn't say anything.

After seeing the old lady Ning, Master Li and Mrs. Li came out of Qixiang Courtyard and went to Peony Courtyard.

Aunt Li was still sad about Ning Jinrao's matter, and when she saw her brother and sister-in-law coming, she barely managed to hide her sadness and resentment, and invited her brother and sister-in-law into the house to sit.

"Did you get my letter?" Aunt Li asked faintly, "Why didn't you reply to me?" ”

Hearing this, Master Li's face was a little unnatural, but Mrs. Li looked surprised and replied, "Why, you didn't see the reply." Your brother and I have written three letters to you, wanting to discuss the details of the marriage proposal with you, but you have not received any of them? ”

Aunt Li was stunned for a moment, she really didn't receive it, "No." ”

Mrs. Li sighed, "No wonder you haven't replied to us again, it turns out that you haven't received our letter at all, alas, I thought that something went wrong on your side, so there was no movement, and your brother and I didn't dare to act rashly, worried that it would be too reckless to come directly to propose marriage, so I ...... I didn't come, but I didn't expect that Rao'er had already left a few days ago. ”

"Yes, Rao'er is already gone, we should have come over sooner if we knew this was the case." Master Li echoed.

Aunt Li looked at her brother and sister-in-law, and her tone was indifferent, "The matter has come to this point, it's useless to say anything, let's stop proposing marriage." My brother and sister-in-law finally came once, so let's have a meal at my place and then leave. ”

Mrs. Li Yu declined, "I won't eat this time, let's come back when I have a chance in the future, this time we came here to take Yuan Jing and Yuan Qian home, they have been away from home for too long, and your brother and I miss them too." ”

Hearing her say this, Aunt Li didn't say anything more to keep her, but just nodded.

"The two brothers live in Xian Accord not far away, I'll let Mother Sun take you to see them."

After Master Li and Mrs. Li left, Ning Jinhua asked, "Mother, are the two cousins leaving, and when will they come again?" ”

Aunt Li shook her head, "I don't know, I may not come again in the future." ”

Ning Jinhua lowered her head and pinched the handkerchief in her hand, feeling a little uncomfortable, she was reluctant to let Li Yuanjing leave. If only Li Yuanjing could marry her......

"Mother." Ning Jinhua cautiously opened his mouth, "Do you think that my uncle and aunt will come to Ning Mansion to propose marriage in the future?" ”

She tactfully asked the question in her heart, wondering if her cousin would come to marry her in the future. Although her cousin doesn't seem to like her very much right now, she believes that feelings can be cultivated, as long as there is an opportunity.

"Propose?" Aunt Li drank two large glasses of water in a row, and then put the teacup on the table with a snap, obviously a little angry, "Don't tell me about proposing, I feel uncomfortable when I talk about proposing!" ”

Seeing this, Ning Jinhua was very puzzled, what is uncomfortable about this?

Aunt Li narrowed her eyes, her eyes turned cold, "Hua'er, did you hear what your uncle and aunt said just now, they said that they originally came to Ningfu to propose marriage, and let the Yuanjing brothers marry you and Rao'er, all because I didn't reply to their letters, so they didn't come over as soon as possible......"

"However, we haven't received the letter at all, so how can we reply?" Ning Jinyun thought thoughtfully, "Mother, why did you say that the letter was not delivered to us, could it be that someone did something?" ”

Aunt Li closed her eyes in disappointment, "That's because they haven't sent us any letters at all, and your uncle is lying to me." ”

She never imagined that her good brother would cheat on her this time.

Ning Jinhua was very surprised, "Then why did they lie, is it because they didn't want to come to propose marriage at all, but they were embarrassed to say it clearly, so they lied to you and said that they had written several letters." ”

Aunt Li couldn't help but sigh, "Presumably because of this, they didn't want Yuan Qian to marry Rao'er, and they didn't want to make it clear, for fear that they would offend us, so they lied." ”

After that, a little sorrow appeared on her face, "This Yu family, it must be her idea, she is my good sister-in-law on the surface, but in fact, she hides her heart and eyes, and refuses to communicate with me at all." She must have let my brother lie to me, I have been with my brother for so many years, I know at a glance whether he is lying or not, how can they hide it from me. ”

Every time Master Li told a lie, his eyes would keep dodging, and his face would turn red, just now Aunt Li had already seen that something was wrong, but she didn't say it.

After this incident, Aunt Li's dependence and trust on the Li family has decreased a lot, and she understands that it is better to rely on no one than on herself, even if it is her own brother, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not have any outside intentions for her.

In the end, the only one who can really rely on yourself is yourself.

"Boom"

Just as Li was pondering, a little maid behind him came in to deliver hot water, and suddenly accidentally dropped the kettle on the ground, and the hot water in the kettle spilled all over the ground. The little maid was in a hurry, and the tea leaves in her other hand also fell to the ground.

Hearing this, Aunt Li frowned and shouted in a low voice, "What's going on." ”

"Auntie, Mother Sun asked the slave maid to come over to add tea and hot water, but the slave maid's hand slipped just now, and she startled the aunt, it's all the slave's fault." The little maid quickly admitted her mistake.

Aunt Li glanced at her, "Okay, hurry up and clean up, go out as soon as you're done, don't get in my way here." ”

The little maid didn't dare to say much, so she hurriedly wiped the water on the ground and picked up the tea again.

Aunt Li's eyes fell on the bag of tea, and she wondered, "Isn't this Junshan Silver Needle Tea, how can we have it in our yard?" ”

"This is sent by Mama Sun's brother, and Mama Sun said that we don't usually drink this tea in the yard, so I'll bring it to you to taste." The little maid hurriedly replied.

Aunt Li's mind turned, Junshan silver needle tea? In the entire Ning Mansion, only the Red Peony Courtyard would buy this kind of tea......
