Li Wan was worried about Wang Manqing's foot injury, and went to Jinxiang Houfu early the next morning. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Zhizhi got up in the morning and saw the tiger lamp at the head of the bed, and knew that his sister specially brought it back for him, so he was very happy, and after breakfast, he ran to the Remnant Lotus Pavilion with the lamp.
Knowing that Li Guan had gone to visit the door, he couldn't help but be very disappointed.
Mrs. Li was gossiping with Mrs. Chan when she saw him coming back sullenly and asked him what was wrong.
"Sister went to find Sister Manqing!" He pouted.
Mrs. Li smiled: "Silly boy, it's not like your sister won't come back, you just go down and go over!" As he spoke, he pointed to Chen Huiran, who was sitting on the brocade next to him, "I'll talk to your aunt, you can take Sister Huiran out to play." ”
When Li Zhizhi entered the door, Chen Huiran noticed that he was holding a particularly delicate tiger lamp in his hand, and his eyes lit up when he heard this, staring at him expectantly.
Li Zhizhu also likes to play with her, so he happily took her hand immediately, and the two went out happily.
Mrs. Chen pretended to be casual and said: "Wan'er and Miss Wang Liu are really good, I just went to the Lantern Festival last night, and I went to find her again today!" ”
"Not really!" Mrs. Li smiled disapprerovingly, "Guan'er also likes to play with Manqing's child, better than talking to others!" ”
Mrs. Chen saw that she had no mustard and secretly pursed her lips.
Li Guan came back after lunch in Jinxiang Houfu, and knew that Li Zhizhi had come to look for her, so he asked Shengfang to invite him over.
Li Zhizhi was building a snowman in the garden with Chen Huiran, and when he heard his sister telling him to go, he immediately took Chen Huiran and ran to the Remnant Lotus Pavilion.
Chen Huiran rarely came to the Lotus Pavilion, so she couldn't help but be a little restrained, so Li Wan talked to her cordially and asked the maid to prepare the snacks she liked. knew that she liked peach blossoms, and specially asked people to go to the warehouse to find a beautiful peach blossom lantern for her. After a while, she gradually let go of her hands and feet, and had a lot of fun with Li Zhi in the Remnant Lotus Pavilion.
It was getting late, and Li Guan left them for dinner.
Li Zhizhu often eats at the Remnant Lotus Pavilion, but Chen Huiran is the first time, and Li Wan sent someone to the East Courtyard to tell Mrs. Chen.
As soon as the words fell, a little maid came in and said, "Sister Lixiang next to Mrs. Gu is here!" ”
Lixiang came in with a smile on her face, first saluted Li Guan, and then said to Chen Huiran: "Miss let the slave maid be easy to find, Mrs. please go back for dinner!" ”
Chen Huiran looked at Li Guan.
Li Guan said: "I have already asked the small kitchen to prepare food, so let Huiran stay here with me for dinner!" ”
"This ......" Lixiang looked embarrassed, "The young master won't come back to eat tonight, if the young lady doesn't go back, then the lady will have to eat alone......"
Although she said this to Li Guan, her eyes glanced at Chen Huiran.
How could Chen Huiran bear to let her mother be alone, and immediately stood up and said goodbye to Li Guan.
Li Wan naturally wouldn't be reluctant, and asked people to send them out with a smile.
As soon as the person left for a while, Chu Fang suddenly said, "Ah, Miss Huiran forgot to take the peach blossom lantern!" ”
Li Wan hurriedly said: "They shouldn't have gone far yet, you send it to Huiran!" ”
Zhu Fang carried the lamp out of the Lotus Pavilion and chased after the garden.
After a few steps, she saw the figures of Lixiang and Chen Huiran, and she was about to stop them, but she saw the two of them stop and stand under the tree by the side of the road to talk.
Chu Fang lightened her steps and walked slowly towards them.
It's not that she wants to eavesdrop on them, it's just that Chen Huiran seems to be a little unhappy, and she thinks it's better not to rush in.
Shielded by the branches, they didn't find Chu Fang's figure.
Chu Fang heard Chen Huiran say sullenly: "...... Since my brother will be back for dinner tonight, why would my sister lie? My cousin was so kind to me that she deliberately left me to eat......"
"Good young lady, it's really wrong for the slave to lie, but the slave is also for your own good!" Lixiang said bitterly, "You stay in the Remnant Lotus Pavilion for half a day, if you even eat dinner there, your wife will be unhappy if she knows!" ”
"Why is my mother upset? Didn't she often say that in the future, our family would rely on the help of my uncle's family, so that my brother and I would be closer to my uncle's family? ”
"What Mrs. said is to let you and the young master get closer to your uncle, uncle's wife, and the two cousins, but I never mentioned Miss Guan!"
"What's the difference?" Chen Huiran was confused.
Li Xiang said earnestly: "Miss, although the master is gone, our Chen family is a scholarly family for generations, and you are a noble lady, even if the current situation forces you to live in your uncle's house, it is not comparable to those virtuous and talented concubines." Mrs. is right, now the young master has a bright future, and he is just around the corner, and you will marry into a wealthy family as a wife in the future, so you must not destroy your reputation and mix with those who are not careful in their words and deeds......"
Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, and then continued: "Miss Guan's reputation is lost, who doesn't know that this hairpin family in the capital doesn't know, you are close to her, to you, to our Chen family, it is a hundred harms and no benefits......
She clutched the lantern in her hand tightly, thinking resentfully, it turned out that Mrs. Gu's family actually treated Miss like this, Miss Bai has always taken so much care of them, and she never forgot to send someone to greet Miss Hui Ran during the New Year's holidays, and she was as good to Miss Huiran as her own sister!
and Chen Haoran, others don't know, the people in their Remnant Lotus Pavilion are clear, if it weren't for Miss, Dong Sanye would have been so rare to take care of him?
His Chen family said that it is called a scholarly family, and if it is ugly, it is a broken settlement in the countryside, what can it be considered in this capital where officials and nobles are everywhere? How dare you say that flying yellow is just around the corner? It's just Yoro's arrogance, ridiculous!
How unreasonable!
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, staring at Lixiang's eyes as if there was fire spraying, and she couldn't wait to rush up and slap her twice, so that she could take care of her stinky mouth!
But she knew that she couldn't do this, and this thing would only make Miss lose face!
She stood there with a pale face, watching Chen Huiran and Lixiang walk away.
Li Guan sandwiched a piece of chicken pieces from the taro fragrant chicken to Li Zhizhi, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Zhu Fang walking in with a stiff expression, and saw Li Guan looking at her, barely showing a smile.
"What are you doing?" Li Wan said strangely, "Didn't you ask you to send the lantern to Huiran?" Did you give it to her? ”
Speaking of lanterns, Chu Fang was angry, and said in a blunt tone: "No, I didn't catch up with anyone!" ”
Xun Fang glared at her and reprimanded, "Is this the attitude you should have when talking to Miss?" It's getting worse and worse! ”
"It's okay, it's okay!" Li Guan hurriedly helped Fang play the round, and then asked her, "What happened?" ”
She wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said, "It's nothing...... I'll go see if your medicine is ready! "Ran away in a hurry.
Li Wan was full of suspicions, patiently accompanied Li Zhi after eating, sent someone to send him back to Mrs. Li, and then asked Xunfang to call someone into the bedroom.
