Li Guan resigned from Wang Manqing and returned to the Remnant Lotus Pavilion all the way. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At dinner time, Mrs. Li sent someone to invite her over.
Li Wan realized that she hadn't gone to ask for peace for several days, so she hurriedly packed up and took Xunfang to the main courtyard.
Li Zhizhu and a few little maids were building snowmen in the yard, and saw Li Guan happily pounced.
Li Wan hugged him affectionately, helped him wipe the thin sweat on his forehead, and said softly: "Seeing that you are sweating profusely, you will go into the house with your sister first to freshen up, and then we will have dinner later." ”
"I want to play a little longer! My mother said that she would wait for the eldest brother and father to come back before the meal! ”
"Big brother will be back tonight?" Li Guan was surprised.
"Yes, miss, the eldest young master sent a letter back this morning to say that he would go back to the house for dinner in the evening!"
Before Li Zhizhi could answer, a little maid behind him took the lead.
"That's right, that's right!" Li Zhizhu nodded unapprovingly.
Li Wan glanced at the maid: "I remember...... Your name is Lingyu? ”
The little maid didn't expect Li Guan to remember her name, so she widened her eyes in flattery, and said, "Miss Xie inquire!" The slave maid was originally called Erya, and after she went to the main courtyard to do things, the lady gave the slave and maid the name Lingyu! ”
Li Wan nodded lightly, said a few more words to Li Zhizhu, and stepped into the house.
Lingyu looked at her back, her face could not hide her disappointment.
When I entered the house, I saw Mrs. Li sitting on the kang and pointing to a pile of papers on the kang table to talk to Mother An.
"Miss is here!"
Mianyue was waiting in the house, and saw Li Wan saluting one after another.
Li Wan saluted Mrs. Li, sat down opposite her, and said curiously, "What are you doing here?" What are these paper heads? ”
"Look at this!" Mrs. Li smiled and picked up a piece of paper to show her.
Li Wan took it and glanced at it twice, and said with a smile: "Are you ready to marry your eldest brother?" ”
Mrs. Li nodded: "Zhiwei is not young, and it will be difficult to find a girl of the right age if it drags on!" ”
"You're too worried, with your eldest brother's talent and character, are you still afraid that you won't be able to find a satisfactory daughter-in-law?"
Mrs. Li thought of her handsome and capable eldest son, and nodded honorably.
The mother and daughter talked, and when Master Li and Li Zhiwei came back, they called Li Zhizhi into the house, and the family had dinner lively.
After the meal, the maid served tea, and Master Li talked about the snow disaster in Shandong: "...... Nine out of 10 families had their roofs crushed by the snow, and men, women, and children could only huddle into makeshift straw huts in the cold winter, and there was a shortage of food, winter clothing, charcoal, and fire, and it was said that many people froze to death and starved to death every day. Yesterday morning, the emperor ordered the Shandong political envoy to personally take charge of disaster relief matters, and also asked Shen Guogong to go to Jinan to supervise the disaster......"
Yu Fengyao went to Shandong?
Li Guan was slightly stunned, and listened to Li Zhiwei say: "With Shen Guogong here, I believe that the disaster relief will go smoothly!" ”
Master Li agreed: "That's right, Shen Guogong is vigorous and resolute, with him, the political envoy of Shandong will definitely work with a twelve-point spirit!" After speaking, he changed his words and said, "I just don't know how Lord Qin's side is going, the emperor ordered him to prepare disaster relief materials and send them to Jinan within a month, I met him this morning, he looked sad, it seems that things are not going well......
Li Guan couldn't help but regret a little when he heard this, he shouldn't have rejected Yu Fengyao's proposal in a fit of anger that day.
Although she is at odds with Yu Fengyao, the people of Shandong are innocent. Although the grain in the Meng family's treasury is not enough for all the victims to survive this cold winter, it is still possible to solve the urgent need.
Thinking of this, Li Wan couldn't wait to know what the situation was on Qin Yu's side.
After finding a space to speak, she got up and said goodbye, and hurriedly returned to the Remnant Lotus Pavilion with Xunfang, and told Hewang to find out the news.
In the afternoon of the next day, Crane Wang replied: "...... Jiang Bingsheng is still in the capital now, and after hearing the news, he personally visited Qin Yu. Perhaps it was the instruction of King Changshan, who offered to take over the matter of transporting the disaster grain as long as eight cents of profit...... I don't know what this Qin Yu thinks, he can't even look down on such good conditions, and politely rejected Jiang Bingsheng. Since the day before yesterday, Qin Yu's staff members have left for the surrounding townships and counties one after another, I don't know if they went to raise food. ”
"The surrounding townships and counties? Did he want to go around scavenging for food so that he could get enough food for the disaster? Li Wan raised his eyebrows incredulously.
Hewang also felt that this method was extremely unclever, and guessed: "Maybe he has some other way......
Li Wan was speechless for a while, and finally had to let Hewang send someone to pay close attention to Qin Yu's movements.
When he woke up in the afternoon, Li Guan was looking at the bright sunlight outside the window, and Mianyue suddenly came.
Li Wan didn't bother to get up, so he asked Chu Fang to go out to see what was going on with her.
“…… Anyway, they are also in-laws, and Gu Gongzi is close to our family, so Mrs. wants to send a proper person to visit Gu's house, and by the way, bring some medicinal materials to talk about it. Madame said that the young lady used a lot of medicine here, and the quality of the medicinal materials was better than that sold in the pharmacies outside, so she sent a slave maid to ask the young lady for some medicines such as notoginseng, Chuanxiong, and salvia...... Speaking of which, when Miss was sick a few years ago, Gu Gongzi also ordered people to send medicine and supplements twice in three days, and now we should also exchange gifts and ......"
Through the fan inlaid with colorful glass, Mianyue's soft voice can be heard clearly.
Li Wan was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Gu Chengyu's injury to spread so quickly, but one day, his mother heard the news and had to send someone to visit the patient. However, Mianyue said so much, and did not mention the reason for Gu Chengyu's injury, it seems that he has done a really good job of secrecy.
I don't know what's going on, Li Guan's heart is suddenly a little panicked.
Especially when she heard Mianyue talk about her illness, Gu Chengyu frequently shushed and asked for warmth, and she felt very irritable inexplicably.
Outside, Chu Fang smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry, it's just some medicinal materials, I'll let someone go to the warehouse to get it." I don't know when Madame plans to send someone to Gufu, if I'm not in a hurry, I want to wait for Miss to wake up and let me know if Miss wants to add something, and then I'll send it together. ”
"Don't be in a hurry, Madame said it's okay today or tomorrow morning!"
"That sister will go back first, and when I tell the young lady about it, I will personally send the things to the main courtyard in the evening!"
Mianyue agreed and said goodbye with a smile.
Chu Fang pushed open the door and said to Li Guan, who was leaning on the head of the bed, "Miss, Mianyue is gone." Do you have any instructions? ”
Li Guanlu's hand on the outside of the quilt gently rubbed the blue embroidered water lily quilt, and only after a while did he say, "It's okay, you can go down." ”
Zhu Fang said in a low voice, came out of the house, first went to the treasury to find out the medicine that Mrs. Li wanted, and then carefully packed it in a brocade box, prepared dinner and sent it to the main courtyard.
As soon as I cleaned up, I heard Li Guan shouting.
She walked into the bedroom quickly, only to see Li Wan carrying a small jacket and putting it on her body indiscriminately, and when she saw her come in, she hurriedly ordered: "Help me freshen up and freshen up, I want to go to Yefu!" ”
