Chapter 13: Marriage

Before dinner, the maid in Mrs. Li's house suddenly came over: "The eldest young master is back, and the lady invites the young lady to come over for dinner." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li Wan had no choice but to freshen up again and take Xunfang and Chufang over.

When I entered the house, I happened to hear Li Zhiwei speak: "...... At that time, I will have to back up the congratulatory gift to go on a trip. Seeing Li Guan coming in, he nodded to her, "Sister Guan is here." ”

Li Zhizhi, who was sitting next to his mother, was bored, and when he saw Li Guan, he immediately ran to her side.

Li Wan smiled and touched his brother's head, stepped forward to salute, and led him to sit on the Taishi chair where Li Zhiwei bowed.

She smiled and asked, "What did the eldest brother say just now, what kind of congratulatory gift?" ”

"This morning, General Qu entered the palace to ask the emperor for peace, and the emperor gave him a marriage, and the auspicious day is set for the tenth day of the next month."

Li Wan nodded knowingly.

Mrs. Li was curious: "Which lady is the bride?" ”

The expression on Li Zhizhi's face suddenly became very strange: "...... It belongs to the Peiguo family. ”

"Pei Guo Gong...... No, I remember that Pei Guogong only has two sons, no daughters, how can I ......" Mrs. Li's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief, "Could it be that Miss Tong San, Tong Shuxian?" ”

Li Zhiwei nodded.

Mrs. Li and Master Li couldn't hide their surprise on their faces, and Master Li asked directly: "Do you hear clearly, is it really Pei Guogong's sister, that Tong Shuxian who reconciled with her husband?" ”

"Yes, General Qu said it himself."

Mrs. Li and Master Li were stunned when they heard this, and they didn't speak for a long time.

Miss Tong San of Peiguo Mansion is a celebrity in the capital, from the princess to the ordinary people, few people don't know, not because of how prominent her family background is, nor how outstanding her talent is, but a year ago, she and her ex-husband had a lot of trouble and left the case.

Although this Tong Shuxian was born in a noble family, she is very deviant, what three outlines and five constants, three from four virtues, in her eyes is bullshit, and she has no interest in marrying and having children. When Lao Pei Guogong was alive, he told her several family affairs, all of which were disturbed by her own, and then finally helped her marry the second son of Dali Siqing, or her mother forced her to die, so she married honestly. After only two years of marriage, the old Peiguo and the old lady passed away one after another, and she tried every possible way to reconcile with her husband. Her brother, the current Peiguo Gong, felt that she was insulting to the family and did not allow her to enter the gate of the Peiguo Mansion, so she took a few loyal servants to live in the marriage house, and did not save face for her brother at all. At that time, this incident was a joke among the people of the capital after dinner.

"Although this is a marriage from the emperor, that Miss Tong is a strong temper, if she refuses to marry......" Mrs. Li shook her head.

"Not really." Li Zhiwei pondered, "This family matter seems to have been requested by the general himself, and I estimate that he refused the emperor's knighthood at that time for this matter." Miss Tong's side should be willing, otherwise the general would not risk slapping himself in the face. ”

"That's right." Mrs. Li showed a look of sudden realization, "Now the Peiguo Mansion has a long face!" ”

Tong Shuxian is still a member of the Tong family in the end, and outsiders look at this family business, and in the end, it is the Peiguo Mansion and General Qu Da who get married.

Master Li nodded: "It seems that we have to prepare the congratulatory gift, this future general's wife is not a good one." ”

A few people began to think about what to send.

Li Guan sat there with his eyes and nose, as if he hadn't heard their words. She gracefully picked up the teacup, gently brushed the floating tea leaves with the lid, and took a sip, with the fragrance of Biluochun between her lips and teeth.

The corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook slightly, what a good tea!

After eating, Li Zhiwei returned to the barracks. Li Guan accompanied Mr. Li and Mrs. Li to talk, and then went back to the Remnant Lotus Pavilion.

The house is already ready with hot water for bathing.

In the clean room, behind the six-fold plain silk screen, there is a large bathtub made of cedar wood, which is steaming hot. Li Wan lay in, the hot water just overflowed her chest, and she sighed comfortably.

Xun Fang and Chu Fang came in to help her wash her hair. Li Wan still can't change the habits of his previous life, he has to bathe and wash his hair every day, Xun Fang and Chu Fang have been serving by her side since they were children, and their movements are very skillful.

Hewang took a new set of white silk nightdresses from the closet, put them on the tray, and carried them into the clean room.

The gauze tent hanging on the ground was half-hidden, and the scene inside was faint, she opened the tent and walked in, and put things on the round table next to the floor-to-ceiling mirror. Bypassing the screen, I saw Li Guan's right hand supporting her head, her left hand on the edge of the barrel, and in the mist, her skin was as smooth as jade and more delicate than the petals in the water.

Hearing the voice, Li Guan raised his eyes and glanced over, his originally clear eyes were misty and had a kind of gurgling luster.

Crane looked over, half-knelt by the bucket, and picked up the wooden spoon beside him to heat the water in the bucket.

"Miss, it seems that it was a good move to help Tong Shuxian and Li. In this way, Qu Fu owes us a big favor. ”

Li Wan picked up a petal and sniffed it, and said, "Actually, no matter whether we make a move or not, Tong Shuxian can handle it herself, but it will take more time." ”

"But isn't the most important thing for them about time?" The gleam in Hewang's eyes flashed, "If we hadn't revealed the evidence of the Sun family's corruption to her, and she would have tossed it by herself, she would definitely still be the second young grandmother of the Sun family now, how could Qu Fu take advantage of the opportunity to return to the dynasty victoriously to ask for marriage." After this village, the emperor will not casually let the important ministers of the court marry a woman with a bad reputation. This favor, he owes it! ”

"Speaking of which, this Qu Fu is a long-term affection." Xun Fang continued, "After the defeat of the Qu family, the Tong family didn't miss the old love at all, and immediately withdrew from his marriage to Tong Shuxian. ”

"What's wrong with being married!" Chu Fang disagreed, "Tong Shuxian has become an old girl for him, and now she doesn't even care about her name for the sake of harmony, it can be seen that she is a loving and righteous person, and it is more than enough for him to be a general Qu!" If I were Qu Fu, I would marry her too! There was a bit of envy in his tone.

"Yo! Want to get married? Xun Fang neatly took a cotton towel to wrap Li Guan's hair, and quipped, "Hurry up Ming'er and ask Miss to find you a family affair, so that you don't blush here." ”

Chu Fang blushed suddenly: "You are talking nonsense! Miss, look at her! ”

Li Guan tilted his head and teased: "What, don't you want to get married?" ”

"I, I...... Ah! Chu Fang stood up and stomped her feet, "I'll go and see if Miss's medicine is ready!" He turned and ran.

Li Wan and the others laughed, and the little maid at the door was confused.

After bathing and changing clothes, Xun Fang handed over a two-finger-wide wooden card worn with a red rope, and Li Wan put it on his chest and habitually touched it. She sat down on the soft couch in the bedroom, and Yuanfang and Shengfang took a handkerchief to dry her hair.

Hewang brought a box of ointment, unscrewed the lid, and a refreshing fragrance overflowed. With a gentle movement, she used her fingers to apply the ointment to the scar on Li Guan's neck.

"This skin cream is really wonderful, the scar on the young lady's neck is almost invisible, and it is worthy of tribute." He Wang said happily that the young lady's skin from head to toe was fair and delicate, without a single flaw, and if she had a scar, she would be distressed to death.

When Li Guan heard this, he took a target mirror to take a photo, and sure enough, there was only a little trace, and he really couldn't see it if he didn't look carefully. She smiled with satisfaction, after all, she is a girl, and she still has a love for beauty.

In the morning, Li Wan was very normal in bed. The sun was getting high, and she slowly got up. After freshening up, Xunfang brought her two plates of snacks, and it was about to have lunch, so she automatically skipped breakfast or something.

While eating, Yaoyue suddenly came, and she saluted Li Guan with a smile: "The sixth lady from Rongningbo's Mansion sent someone to deliver a letter!" As he spoke, he handed her a large red and gold-sprinkled envelope.

"Ahh Did Manqing write to me? Li Guan was very surprised, and hurriedly took it, only to see the four big characters on the cover, "Guan Mei Qinqi". She couldn't wait to open it, took a quick look at it, and then smiled: "She asked me if I was cured, and asked me to go fishing tomorrow!" ”

Yaoyue said: "The mother who delivered the letter is still waiting in the main house, do you want to reply to the letter and let her take it back?" ”

Li Wan nodded, went to the study and wrote a letter, the content was roughly that his illness had been cured, thank her for her concern, and she would definitely go to the appointment on time tomorrow. Then he sealed it in an envelope and gave it to Harukatsu.

Haruka left with the letter.

In the afternoon, An's mother came again and asked Li Guan when he planned to go out tomorrow, who he was going to bring to serve, and where to meet Miss Wang Liu. Li Wan simply asked Xun Fang to write a list for her.

In the evening, Mrs. Li actually came to the Remnant Lotus Pavilion in person. Everyone was very surprised, usually, except for Li Guan going to the main house from time to time to ask for peace, everything was for the maid to pass the word, and Mrs. Li and Master Li almost did not come.

Li Guan served the tea with his own hands: "Do you have something to tell me?" ”

Mrs. Li smiled all over her face, took the tea and put it aside, and hurriedly said, "You and Miss Wang Liu met at your grandmother's birthday banquet, right?" ”

Li Guan was surprised, her mother never asked her much about it, what happened today?

She replied respectfully, "Yes, we were swinging together that day." ”

"What do you think of her?"

Li Guan thought for a while and said, "Miss Sixth is lively and cheerful, very talkative, and very good." ”

"Do you like playing with her, then?"

Yes? Li Wan was stunned and blinked suspiciously.

"I mean, do you really want to go fishing with her, or you can't say no." Mrs. Li's expression was a little nervous, and she couldn't help but hold Li Guan's hand, "You have never interacted with people before, and it is the first time that someone has come to the house to invite you, I ......"

Li Wan suddenly understood, and she held Mrs. Li's hand instead: "Manqing is a good girl, I like to get along with her." Last time, she said she wanted to come to our house to see the impatiens! Her tone was very sincere, and her eyebrows were full of joy, which gave her slightly pale face a kind of splendor like the winter sun.

Mrs. Li's eyes were sour: "Really, really? ”

"Hmm!" Li Wan nodded heavily.
