Chapter 264: Hanlu
Li Wan dragged a pillow behind his back, leaned on the head of the bed and watched Fang peel roasted sweet potatoes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"Don't you think it's strange how there are sweet potatoes in a charcoal bag?"
"It's kind of weird." "The slave asked the person who sent us charcoal, and he said that he didn't know. The charcoal we used was all transported from Jiyang County, and these two sweet potatoes may have been accidentally mixed in. It's just two sweet potatoes, and it's normal that no one notices. ”
Li Guan smiled: "Yes, it's just two sweet potatoes, it doesn't matter where it came from." ”
She peeled the sweet potato and put it in a small dish and handed it over, she took it and took a bite, it was fragrant and sweet, and immediately hooked out the gluttonous worms in her stomach, and she didn't care about the heat, so she ate the sweet potato in a big gulp.
"Miss, eat slowly, be careful of choking." Chu Fang smiled, poured her a cup of tea, and then quickly peeled another sweet potato.
"This is for you and Xunfang to eat, I'll eat one is enough." Li Wan saw that she handed over the sweet potato again, so he hurriedly said.
In the case of this kind of steamed porridge, it is also a good thing to eat a roasted sweet potato once in a while to satisfy your cravings.
Chu Fang said with a smile: "When I was a child, my family was poor, and I either ate corn buns or sweet potatoes all year round, you like to eat this roasted sweet potato, but the slave maid and Xun Fang are not interested." ”
Li Guan smiled wryly: "Yes, then I'll eat it myself." ”
Two days later, the victims of Duoshi Town were basically settled, and Li Guan and others came to Jiyang County with the Golden Crossbow Camp and lived in the post station in the city, while Bai Weiwei returned to her home.
Since entering the city, the people of the Golden Crossbow Camp have disappeared without a trace like water dropping into the sea, Yu Fengyao is even more of a dragon who has not seen the head and the tail, and he has not seen anyone all day, Li Guan has no intention of staying in Jiyang County for a long time, and wants to go to Jinan to find Gu Chengyu and Dong Linzhi as soon as possible.
She asked the guards of the Golden Crossbow Camp who were following them to bring a message to Yu Fengyao, and after a long time, Xun Li hurried to see her.
Without waiting for her to speak, Xun Li said: "Miss Li, what Grandpa Guo means is that you still recuperate in Jiyang for a while, and if you have any needs, we will try our best to meet your requirements." ”
This undoubted tone made Li Guan very unhappy, she kept a calm face and did not hide her dissatisfaction at all: "I have no other requirements, I want to leave for Jinan immediately." ”
"Miss Li, don't embarrass us, this is Grandpa Guo's decision."
Is he Yu Fengyao the king of heaven? The tube is so wide!
Li Guan sneered: "Where is he, I want to see him." ”
Xun Li smiled kindly, and said politely and respectfully: "Grandpa Guo is busy with affairs, and he is not in Jiyang County for the time being, you can tell me if you have something." ”
Tell you?
You can't be the master, so why should I waste my saliva.
Li Guan snorted, not wanting to play Tai Chi with him anymore, serving tea to the guests.
The room was really boring, Li Guan was drowsy with a miscellaneous book, he obviously slept enough in the morning, but he was sleepy again at noon, and he had to sleep all afternoon after taking a nap.
Chu Fang and Xun Fang couldn't help but be very worried, and privately asked Dr. Wu who came to diagnose Li Guan's pulse.
Dr. Wu said: "Her body is too weak and her energy is low, so she will naturally sleep more." You don't have to worry, let her sleep if she wants to, it's good for her to get more rest, but you still have to be active and active, such as taking a walk. ”
Chu Fang and Xun Fang took his words to heart, and when Li Wan finished taking a long nap, they persuaded her to go out for a walk.
They had been staying at the inn for two days, and Bai Weiwei had come once, brought her grandmother's handmade shortbread, and warmly invited them to play at home when they left. Anyway, being idle is idle, Li Wan wants to go to Bai Weiwei's house to sit down.
She dressed up and went to the next room to invite Shi Yue to come along.
Feichen opened the door and respectfully invited Li Guan in.
Like her room, Shi Yue's room also burned a warm charcoal basin, he wore a homely cyan muslin round-necked robe, sat on the warm kang by the window, and Uncle Yong served tea on the side, looking leisurely and content.
Seeing Li Guan enter, he smiled and shouted "Sister Li", and asked Li Guan to sit on the kang, looking pleasant, with a kind of calmness of "if you come, you will be safe".
There is no rush to visit relatives and friends in Tai'an.
Li Wan smiled quietly, sat on the edge of the kang, and said, "Since you are also idle, do you want to go to Weiwei's house with me to sit down, stay in this small post station all day, people will be moldy." ”
She thought that Shi Yue would refuse politely, but she didn't expect him to frown slightly: "Sister Li, your body is so weak, it's freezing outside, don't go out." If you really want to play with the white girl, just ask her to come over. ”
Li Wan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "My body is fine, you don't have to worry." I just think we're in trouble with Vivi in Battlestone Town, and yesterday she brought her grandmother's handmade shortbread to see us, and we should also visit her home. ”
Chu Fang also helped to speak: "Shi Gongzi, it was Doctor Wu who said it, let Miss move appropriately." It only takes half an hour's drive from the post station to the white girl's house, and the slave maid has already put on her cloak and gloves, so she will not let the young lady freeze. ”
Hearing that it was ordered by Dr. Wu, Shi Yue's expression relaxed, and he smiled: "Since this is the case, then I will go with you." ”
The atmosphere in the city was a bit bleak because of the snowstorm, but it was a paradise compared to Battlestone Town.
The Bai family's rice shop is open on East Street, with two open storefronts, and the person who looks at the shop is a man in coarse cloth clothes.
"Isn't this Miss Li and Shi Gongzi?" He saw Li Guan and Shi Yue getting off the carriage, and hurriedly wiped his hands to welcome them out.
"Uncle Guang." Li Wan and Shi Yue greeted with a smile.
Uncle Guang warmly invited them in and said, "You two are here to find our girl, right?" It's unfortunate that the girl is not here at this time, you can sit down for a while, and I will go and get the girl back. ”
If you visit suddenly, you will indeed encounter this situation, but they are all here, so why do you want to meet Bai Weiwei.
Li Guan and Shi Yue sat in the wing room in the backyard of the rice shop and waited for Bai Weiwei to come back.
But after a cup of tea, Bai Weiwei came back.
She was very happy to see Li Guan and Shi Yue, but there was still a little anger between her eyebrows, Li Guan couldn't help but wonder and asked her why.
Bai Weiwei was obviously very angry, and when she saw Li Guan take the initiative to ask, she no longer restrained her anger, and said, "Didn't I mention to you, do I have a good sister named Liu Hanlu?" ”
When chatting, Bai Weiwei did talk about her good sister Liu Hanlu, they are neighbors, Liu Hanlu's father is a teacher, and he has a reputation for showing talent, and the Liu family can be regarded as a "scholarly family". Liu Hanlu is literate and literate, knowledgeable, and a very good girl.
Li Wan nodded: "I remember, what's wrong with her?" ”
Uncle Liu met Zhao Juren in the south of the city by chance some time ago, and Zhao Juren's son fell in love with Hanlu at first sight and visited him every once in a while. Hanlu has been engaged to her uncle's eldest cousin since she was a child, and she was supposed to get married next year, but her uncle and aunt heard about Zhao Gongzi from somewhere, thinking that Hanlu and Zhao Gongzi were not involved and wanted to withdraw from her relationship with her cousin. Uncle Liu came to the door to explain in person after knowing it, and learned that Hanlu's uncle and aunt had asked for his son to marry the eldest daughter of the owner of Qianji Silk Village in Chengxi, and the two families had exchanged Geng posts, and they were going to be hired one day. ”
Bai Weiwei's delicate and graceful face was full of anger, and her delicate voice was a few degrees higher than usual, as if she was the one who was divorced.
"Hanlu thought she would marry her cousin since she was a child, and when she learned about it, it was like a bolt from the blue, but she fell ill in bed after two days, and I went to see her before, she was so thin that she couldn't look like her, lying on the bed crying silently, and her eyes were swollen from crying. Her uncle's family is just a pawnshop, and Uncle Liu reluctantly agreed to this family affair because of his relatives and his deceased wife's wishes, but he didn't expect her uncle and aunt to be so ruthless, saying that they would quit the marriage, and they also publicized Zhao Gongzi and Hanlu's affairs everywhere, so that relatives and friends in the neighborhood knew about it. If it goes on like this, how will Hanlu talk about family affairs and how to marry in the future? ”
She said and looked at Li Guan: "Xiaoguan, do you say that Hanlu's uncle's family is very hateful?" ”
Belch......
Li Wan nodded: "If it's really like what you said, then Miss Liu's uncle and aunt are really wrong." ”
When Bai Weiwei heard this, she immediately seemed to have found a soulmate, and talked to Li Guan about Liu Hanlu.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and Li Wan has never been interested in other people's parents, let alone a stranger who has never even met in person.
She was not interested in Liu Hanlu's affairs.
Because it was a matter of her daughter's family, Shi Yue sat silently next to her and drank tea, which seemed very leisurely.
Li Guan was very narrow-minded, and took advantage of Bai Weiwei's time to drink water to moisten her throat and smiled: "Xiaoyue, why don't you speak, didn't you say that you wanted to eat the shortbread made by Weiweizu's mother before you came?" ”
Yes?
Shi Yue was suddenly asked, when did he say that he wanted to eat the shortbread made by Mrs. Bai?
Before he could speak, Bai Weiwei had already patted her head and said, "Look at me, just talking patronizingly, I forgot to invite you to sit at home." My grandmother would be glad to know you're here, so let's go home. ”
The Bai family lives in a small alley not far from Mipu, a small house with a single courtyard, where the three ancestors and grandchildren of the Bai family, Uncle Guang, and two little girls live.
Bai Weiwei's grandparents were really as Li Wan imagined, two kind-eyed and hospitable old people, and they were very welcome to her and Shi Yue's sudden visit, and after welcoming them to the house to sit down and watch tea, Mrs. Bai led the two little girls to the kitchen to get busy, and Old Man Bai chatted with Shi Yue.
Bai Weiwei took Li Wan to her room.
Bai Weiwei's bedroom is a typical girl's boudoir, warm and lovely, there are some needles and embroideries in the bamboo basket on the table, and Li Wan casually took a handkerchief and looked at it.
The white silk handkerchief was embroidered with a clump of bluegrass, and there was half a line of poetry—no one knew the valley of Lansheng, and the literate one only embroidered a little, but she still recognized the poem.
Li Wan raised her eyebrows slightly, she remembered that Bai Weiwei had said that she had never read a book, she had only learned a few words from her grandfather, and she could barely write her name, and the poems on her handkerchief were not like her style......
"Hey, do you like this handkerchief too?" Bai Weiwei came in with tea, and when she saw her holding the handkerchief, she asked with a smile.
"I'll take a look." Li Guan put the handkerchief back in the bamboo basket.
Bai Weiwei put the tea on the table, picked up the handkerchief and said with a smile: "This embroidery skill is good, right?" It's embroidered with dew, and it's not finished embroidering, and I accidentally got a little tea stain and can't use it, so I'm going to come and practice embroidery. But I'm clumsy, and no matter how much I practice, I can't compare to half of Hanlu. ”
Everyone has their own strengths, do women have to have excellent female celebrities?
Li Wan smiled disapprerovingly: "Compared to me, you are already very good, and I can't even embroider a complete leaf now." ”
Her expression was very relaxed, and she was not ashamed at all because she was not a good girl.
Thinking of her identity, Bai Weiwei couldn't help but be very curious: "What, don't you young ladies from big families in the capital need to learn female celebrity?" ”
"No, it's not." Li Wan smiled, "The capital is the same as other places, but all women have to learn female celebrities from an early age, like my cousin, girlfriends and sisters-in-law who have not passed through the door, female celebrities are all excellent, maybe I am the only exception." I also studied, but I always pierced my hands miserably, and my mother saw that I was really talentless, so she didn't force me. ”
"Then your mother is so good to you." Bai Weiwei's eyes showed envy, "I can't practice well, but my grandmother is afraid that I will be disliked by my in-laws when I marry in the future, so I have to practice every day, and I can't help it." ”
"Your grandmother is also afraid that you will be wronged in your in-laws' house in the future." Li Wan said with relief, and picked out an embroidery with obviously rough stitches to look at, "This is your embroidery, right?" I think it's pretty good, much better than my embroidery. ”
Although she knew that she was comforting herself, Bai Weiwei couldn't help but be happy.
The two of them talked about embroidery, until the little girl came and asked them out for dinner.
The Bai family's life is also tight now, but Mrs. Bai still prepared a table of good dishes to entertain Li Guan and Shi Yue.
Seeing the sharp shortbread in the small bamboo basket on the table, Shi Yue's eyes twitched almost invisibly.
"Come, Weiwei, you send these two bowls of dishes to Hanlu's family." Old Lady Bai said.
Bai Weiwei answered, took the food box she handed over, and went to Liu's house next door with a smile on her face.
It wasn't long before she returned.
Li Wan sat at the big round dining table with his back to the door, and heard her soft and cheerful voice coming from the door: "Grandfather, grandmother, Hanlu is here!" ”
Everyone looked towards the door, and the old lady Bai got up to greet her: "Hanlu is here, come and sit, come and sit!" ”
Li Guan swallowed the food in his mouth and turned his head to glance at the door.
I saw a girl about fifteen years old, wearing a moon-white dress and Bai Weiwei walked in side by side, she was petite and exquisite, her facial features were delicate and lovely, and there was a touch of sorrow between her eyebrows, which made people feel pity when they saw it.
It turned out that this was Bai Weiwei's knowledgeable and beautiful Liu Hanlu.
Although he didn't expect this Miss Liu to be as good as Bai Weiwei said, after seeing the real person, Li Wan couldn't help but be a little disappointed, glanced at it, and turned his head boringly.
