Mrs. Li's fierce gaze gradually dimmed, and her whole body seemed to be deflated. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

She lowered her head and muttered, "That's right, I did it...... If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have to have to stay alone in this world...... It was my fault...... It's all my fault......"

As he spoke, he couldn't cry, and tears fell on his knees one by one.

"Madam, the old slave knows that you are bitter in your heart." Mother Ann took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, "Everything has a cause and an effect, who can predict the things in this world in advance, you don't have to blame yourself for the fault." You have been good enough to Miss over the years, and you can live up to the trust of the old people, not to mention ...... It's a different time! ”

"It's not the same as it used to be...... It's not the same ...... past."

Mrs. Li was in a trance and recited this sentence repeatedly.

An's mother thought that she understood this truth, and her eyes finally showed a hint of relief.

She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, and was about to say a few more words of comfort, when she saw Mrs. Li's originally erratic eyes become firm little by little.

"Even if it's not the same as it used to be!"

Her hand grasped the corner of the table tightly, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of desperate stubbornness: "No matter what, I will never watch Guan'er suffer the slightest grievance." ”

Ann's mother was stunned and speechless.

On the day of Qu Fu's marriage, Qu's mansion was really full of guests, and the crowd was like a weave.

Li Guan got out of the carriage with Mrs. Li.

She was quite depressed now, she didn't plan to come today, but her mother didn't know what to think, and she actually said that this kind of banquet was very boring, and it was interesting to have her to talk with her...... She had no choice but to join in the fun.

"Mrs. Li, you're here!"

A woman wearing a garnet, red peony, and a flower-woven gold-woven jacket greeted them, greeted them with a smile, and instructed the maid to lead the attendants down to rest.

Li Guanxu helped Mrs. Li, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be Mrs. Dong.

It turned out to be Mrs. Dong Second Lady at the door to greet the guests!

Li Guan couldn't help but be surprised, and then relieved.

Qu Fu is now alone, and there is no woman in charge in the inner courtyard, so she can't let her subordinates come to receive guests. Since the marriage was given by the emperor, the person who organized the wedding is probably also what he refers to. It's just that I don't know if this matter was requested by Qu Fu himself, or if the emperor took the initiative to take care of it......

But it's no different, it's all good things with the halo of the king.

Second Mrs. Dong is the daughter-in-law of Princess Chaoyang, and Princess Chaoyang is the emperor's sister with a noble status......

Li Guan smiled slightly and stepped forward to salute Second Mrs. Dong.

Everyone exchanged two words of greeting, and the maid led them to the place where the guests were feasted.

This mansion was newly given by the emperor, and traces of repair can be seen in many places, but it is still full of flowers, shady trees, and beautiful scenery.

The place where the guests feasted was called Shibajintang, and the noise inside could be heard from a distance.

As soon as Mrs. Li appeared, people who knew each other immediately came up to greet her.

If Mrs. Li introduced someone to Li Guan, she would come forward to greet her, otherwise she would follow Mrs. Li quietly without saying a word.

Several times she saw that Mrs. Li was happy with others, and wanted to find a place to stay by herself, but Mrs. Li seemed to be always paying attention to her, and whenever she showed a little intention to walk away, Mrs. Li would pull the topic on her, so that she could not avoid it.

Li Guan didn't like this kind of noisy occasion, and at first he could force himself to smile and deal with a few words, but gradually he was a little bored, but he wanted Mrs. Li to notice, and he was very depressed.

She looked around and saw several girls sitting in the corner chatting, none of them she had ever seen.

Why hasn't Manqing come yet......

Li Guan couldn't help but slander in his heart.

She didn't want to come today, but for some reason, Mrs. Li, who has always been easy to talk, was very resolute this time, so she didn't come with her.

His ears were filled with the chatter and laughter of others, and Li Wan felt that his head was starting to hurt......

At this time, a little maid came over to deliver refreshments, and she leaned into Mrs. Li's ear and whispered, "Mother, my daughter wants to go for convenience." ”

Mrs. Li was talking to a lady, and when she heard that she had him, she immediately asked the little maid to take her.

The little maid led Li Guan through most of the courtyard to a corner gate in the west.

"Miss Li, inside is Gongfang."

Li Guan said: "You go and get busy, I don't have to wait here." ”

The little maid hesitated.

"Today, your mansion is holding a happy event, there are many things, you go to work first, and I will go back by myself later." It's just such a small distance, are you still afraid that I will be lost? ”

The little maid had a lot of things to do, so after thinking about it for a while, she nodded and said, "That maid will retire first." ”

"Go ahead."

When she was far away, Li Guan collapsed.

Li Wan walked out of the courtyard, and when she came just now, she saw a small forest next to her, and planned to go there to be quiet for a while.

The forest was really quiet, and the noise in the Zhijin Hall was faintly heard, like another world.

Li Wan walked around the forest, found the best-growing tree (the appearance association can't do it), spread the handkerchief he carried under the tree, and sat down.

It's not that she wants to do it, but when she goes out to a banquet, even if she doesn't care about her image, she has to take care of Mrs. Li's face, in case her clothes get dirty, it's not good.

She leaned against the tree, rested the back of her head against the trunk, closed her eyes, and gently pressed her fingers on her temples.

Speaking of today's dress, it was Mrs. Li who carefully matched it for her.

Unlike the last time she went to Wu'anbo's mansion, Mrs. Li was completely selected based on her figure and temperament.

The light blue wide-sleeved jacket is covered with a vest woven with cordyceps on a pink background, and a white pleated skirt, which is elegant and lively.

Her hair was also combed into a high bun at the suggestion of Mrs. Li, and two pearl-inlaid combs and a green lotus-headed hosta were inserted.

Thinking of Mrs. Li's unusual behavior today, Li Guan felt slightly uneasy in his heart.

first dressed her up carefully, and then didn't allow them to come with her to serve, and insisted on taking her with her after arriving at Qu's mansion, it felt like a ...... I sincerely want to introduce her to that circle of noble ladies to her.

Although there had been similar things before, Mrs. Li's attitude had never been so eager as it is today.

Did the mother want to ......

Li Wan remembered that yesterday he listened to the gossip of Chu Fang and Xun Fang, and his mother recently began to make a marriage for the eldest brother, and today she came to the banquet, in addition to eating the wedding wine, she also wanted to see if there were any suitable girls......

You can't be trying to marry her, right?

Li Wan was taken aback by his guess, and his eyes opened suddenly.

Yes......

She couldn't help but whisper in her heart.

In front of him was an upside-down human face, and his dark eyes were like a clear spring, clear and transparent.

Even though Li Guan's heart was fluctuating, his face did not change, his eyes turned and he looked at the other party.

A boy of fifteen or sixteen years of age, with his feet hanging upside down from a branch, dressed in short gray brown, with a delicate scimitar pinned to his waist, and a scabbard made of cowhide, with strange patterns tattooed on it.

Li Guan's eyes swirled around, returned to his face, and looked at him quietly.

"What are you looking at?"

After a while, the boy finally couldn't help but speak.

I don't know if it's because he's still young, but his voice is unexpectedly crisp and good.

Li Guan hooked his lips: "See how long you can hold your breath." ”

This young man was able to come over without her noticing, in addition to having a little kung fu on his body, another reason was that he had been holding his breath, otherwise she would definitely feel his breath when his face approached Li Guan.

The young man's face showed a little surprise, and he neatly rolled down from the tree and stood five steps away from Li Wan looking at her.

Li Wan stood up with the trunk of the tree, carefully cleaned the dust on the hem of his skirt, and meticulously tidied up the placket.

The young man couldn't help but look puzzled.

Li Guan ignored him and lightly blessed: "This little boy, I still have something to do, go first." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

The young man quickly stood in front of her and said with a smile: "You are a little interesting...... What is your name? ”

Li Guan didn't know his identity and didn't want to entangle with him too much, so he said: "It's just a one-sided relationship, and the son doesn't need to know my name." ”

"Since it's the first time we're meeting, why don't you turn people away thousands of miles away. And, how do you know we won't meet again? ”

Li Guan didn't say anything.

The young man said, "You're here to drink the wine, right?" Which lady is it? ”

Li Guan saw that although he was dressed plainly, he talked and behaved generously, not like an ordinary person, and he didn't want to offend people easily and cause trouble for himself.

She was about to cope with two sentences when footsteps suddenly sounded behind her.

"Qu Jie, I'm sorry, I'm a little delayed, but I didn't mean to be late...... Hey? ”

Li Guan turned around following the young man's gaze and saw the person coming, his eyebrows moved slightly.

"Li, Miss Li? Why are you here? ”

"Li Wan has seen the third master."

Dong Linzhi held two jars of wine in his hand and looked at Li Wan in surprise.

"So you know each other?"

The young man looked at Li Guan and Dong Linzhi with a smile, and his eyes were very intriguing.

Li Wan smiled and didn't speak.

Dong Linzhi: "Yes, we know. Then he introduced Li Guan to the young man, "This is the daughter of Master Li, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites." ”

The young man suddenly realized and nodded at Li Guan: "Miss Li." ”

Since Dong Linzhi introduced it seriously, Li Guan generously saluted the young man: "The son is polite." ”

"Poof!"

Dong Linzhi suddenly burst out laughing.

Li Guan didn't know why, glanced at him, and secretly slandered "wrong" in his heart.

Dong Linzhi pointed at the young man and said, "Another one who was deceived by you!" ”

Deceit? What do you mean?

Li Guan looked at them in wonder.

The young man smiled and said nothing, and Dong Linzhi said: "This kid is the younger sister of Lord Qu, Qu Jie." ”

Younger sister?!

Female?!

Li Wan looked at the boy in disbelief.

She thinks she still has some eyesight, and if a man dresses up as a woman, she will not be unaware.

She couldn't help but look at the person in front of her carefully.

The body is quite tall, half a head taller than her, thick eyebrows and big eyes, the bridge of the nose is very straight, the skin is not very white, the black hair is coiled on the head with a wooden hairpin, and the eyes are particularly clear when looking at people, and the whole person feels very refreshing.

Whether it is appearance, words and deeds, how can there be a little bit of a woman's appearance?
