Chapter 45: Sister
Li Guan was slightly surprised: "How do you know ......?"
"Oh, it was your guard. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In this way, Li Wan smiled. She had indeed asked Fan Weijie to tell her guards before, so that they would not be in a hurry.
"Linzhi, do you know Miss Li?" Lin Chengyun asked.
Dong Linzhi nodded and said leisurely: "I just don't know if Miss Li still remembers me?" ”
Li Guan frowned, thinking to himself what are you pretending to be stupid, they only met in Qu Mansion not long ago, and they drank together......
"The third master is famous, his demeanor is outstanding, and it is unforgettable." She smiled politely and detachedly, and played Tai Chi with Dong Linzhi.
Lin Chengyun secretly said "huh" and looked at Li Guan with interest.
Famous?
Dong Linzhi laughed in his heart, it is better to say directly that I love to cause trouble......
He waved his hand generously: "Awards, awards." ”
Li Wan didn't believe that with Dong Linzhi's cleverness, he couldn't hear the meaning of her words, and smiled noncommittally.
Chen Haoran listened to their conversation, and couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart, just now he saw the guard carriage in the house at the door, he just asked casually, the guard said that his cousin was visiting the academy, and he would come out in a while, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Qinsi Hall was not closed to go for a walk, and then accompanied his cousin back to the house by the way, but he was excited to pull them around the house. He doesn't know how many times he has visited the academy, I'm afraid he is more familiar than himself as a serious student, what else is there to visit?
Something flashed in his mind, and before he had time to think about it, he only listened to Dong Lin's words: "Haoran, we have known each other for so long, and I haven't visited my aunt yet." It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, how about today? ”
Only close friends will visit their elders at each other's homes.
Chen Haoran was overjoyed when she heard this: "Okay, my mother will definitely be very happy to find out." ”
Li Guan was about to go home, so he went with them.
In the main hall of the east courtyard, you can sit at a large black lacquer round table of more than ten people, Dong Linzhi, Mrs. Li, Mrs. Chen, Chen Haoran, Li Guan and others sit together, the table is full of delicacies, and the newly brewed Huadiao wine is sweet and mellow.
Dong Linzhi really lived up to his "reputation", with his identity, he flattered people but did not twist it. He was good-looking, his smiling eyes were shining, and his mouth was even more smeared with honey, which made Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Li say that their hearts are full of joy.
Mrs. Chen's bad identity was too obvious, but Mrs. Li had no scruples, and pulled Dong Linzhi's "virtuous nephew" and "virtuous nephew" shouting affectionately.
Chen Haoran clinked glasses with him excitedly, thinking that the third master really regarded himself as a friend.
Li Wan felt that everyone was taken crooked by Dong Linzhi, and only he was the only one at the table who was normal, so he calmly instructed the maid of the cloth vegetables to serve her a bowl of soup.
She didn't plan to get involved in today's incident, but because of Dong Linyi's "fate", her mother dragged her here......
However, the kung fu of a meal, from the master to the maid, was fooled by Dong Linzhi, and only outsiders did not understand the inside situation, so they passed on the people like wolves and tigers.
Dong Sanye is clearly a personable noble son......
Li Guan saw that the situation was getting more and more weird, and his face couldn't help but show a little suspicion.
The rumors can't be groundless, even if they are exaggerated, they are not so outrageous. Dong Linzhi is clearly pretending to be a good person, but why did he do it?
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.
What is there in the Li family that is worth thinking about him, asking him to bend down and please him so much.
Could it be that he really regards Chen Haoran as a close friend, so he loves the house and Wu?
"Cousin!" Just as she was secretly entangled, Dong Linzhi suddenly stood up with a wine glass, staring at her with bright eyes.
Huh? What's the situation?
Li Wan was stunned.
Mrs. Li and others were also confused by his "cousin" shout.
Dong Linzhi's white jade-like face was slightly red, and his bright eyes were full of sincerity: "I regard Haoran as a younger brother, and his cousin is naturally my cousin." He stretched out his hand and patted Chen Haoran, who was full of sluggishness, and then said to Li Guan, "Cousin, we are also destined, I don't have a sister, from today on, you are my sister-in-law!" Come, brother, toast you! ”
The room full of people was stunned by his words.
Dong Linzhi, the youngest son of Princess Chaoyang and the emperor's nephew, wants to treat me, a person who can't beat me, as his own sister!
I don't know how Princess Chaoyang felt when she heard her son's words.
Li Guan's eyebrows twitched, this person is really a muddy ......
Mrs. Li looked at Dong Linzhi's sincere expression, as if she had thought of something, and suddenly the corners of her eyes were slightly wet.
She turned her face sideways, wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, and then looked at Dong Linzhi with a straight face: "What the third master said just now is it true?" ”
Li Guan sighed in his heart and looked at Mrs. Li in disbelief.
Dong Linzhi's eyes flashed with ecstasy, and he said with a serious face: "How can I talk nonsense about this kind of thing, don't worry, Madame, it will definitely be serious." ”
That's not nonsense, so what's the point?
Sure enough, people are shameless and invincible in the world!
Li Wan couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart and looked at Mrs. Li anxiously.
Mother, don't mess with him.
Mrs. Li took her hand and said, "Guan'er, this is your fate with the third master...... " After saying that, a sigh surged in her heart.
She knew that Dong Linzhi's identity was sensitive, and she shouldn't let Guan'er have too much contact with him. But as long as she thinks of the suffering that Guan'er has suffered over the years, those days and nights when she was frightened and swallowed, she was so distressed that she couldn't help herself...... Just think about it, she comforted herself.
The imperceptible sadness in Mrs. Li's tone made Li Guan stunned.
Yes, really, aren't I and Dong Linzhi cousins...... really let him say it, fate ......
Li Guan lowered his eyes, and his heart was unbearable.
What's the use of talking about it now? The past is gone, she and Dong Linzhi can only be strangers, and too close interactions will only make people suspicious, but may invite trouble......
She closed her eyes vigorously, her heart was slightly determined, and she planned to explain it well, not only to push this matter away, but also not to let Dong Linzhi lose face.
When I looked up, I crashed into a pair of stumbling eyes. The frank and sincere gaze, like the rising sun on the horizon, is full of hope and yearning.
In an instant, Li Wan suddenly remembered the young man who leaned against the window and smiled silently on that sunny morning.
Her eyes widened.
"Cousin." Dong Linzhi shouted again, and the hand holding the wine glass was steady.
The ghost sent the gods, Li Guan picked up the wine glass in his hand and raised it towards him.
When she reacted, there was only a rich and sweet aroma of wine left in her mouth.
On the second day of the calligraphy and painting exhibition, Li Guan was dressing up properly and was having breakfast.
Chu Fang came in and said: "Miss, I heard the little maid in the main courtyard say that early this morning, the people from Princess Chaoyang's Mansion made a special trip to send a change of clothes to Dong Sanye, and the princess also asked her personal grandmother to thank Madame for taking care of Sanye......
Li Guan took the spoon in his hand.
As soon as the feast was over last night, my father returned. I heard that I knew that Dong Sanye was a guest at home, so I deliberately pushed the entertainment and rushed back. Dong Linzhi really gave him three colors to open a dyeing workshop, but his mother was just kind words, he really didn't treat himself as an outsider, and dragged his father to drink and chat until midnight, and of course rested in the guest room in the house.
The princess's mansion was also from him, knowing that he was drunk and unconscious, not only did he not send someone to take him back, but also said that he would trouble the mansion to take care of one or two......
Dong Linzhi has grown into such an unreliable character, which is all habitual!
Li Guan pursed his lips, finished breakfast two or three times, and took Chu Fang to Hengde Academy.
She went early, and Fan Weijie and the others hadn't come yet.
The calligraphy and paintings in the Qinsi Museum have been replaced with new ones, and she is secretly observing while reading.
She noticed that several people were standing in front of the same painting, not moving for a long time, staring at the painting, but glancing at the people around them from time to time.
Li Guan decided to give it a little try.
She looked at the goose-yellow floor-length skirt on her body, glanced at Chu Fang, and then walked lightly towards a person dressed as a Confucian farthest away from her.
Someone glanced at her, Li Guan pretended not to know, and walked slowly in the sparse crowd as usual, completely like an ordinary person visiting the exhibition.
Feeling that the gaze that fell on his body was gone, Li Guan smiled slightly, and his steps were more calm.
When he walked three steps away from the man, Chu Fang "accidentally" stepped on Li Guan's skirt, and Li Guan threw himself forward with a low shout.
The Confucian student, who was originally facing away from her and seriously appreciating the paintings, turned around sharply and held her up.
Li Wan grabbed his arm and stabilized his figure.
She only felt that the arms under her hands were tight and strong, holding her firmly and steadily, and she didn't shake for a moment.
"Oops!" As soon as Li Wan stood firm, he immediately took two steps back, pretending to be shy.
"Damn it! The slave was distracted just now and accidentally stepped on the skirt of the young lady, and the young lady forgives the sin! Chu Fang said with a frightened face.
Li Wan glared at her, and then apologized to the man with a light smile: "The maid is hairy, thank you for your help." ”
The man originally looked at them with wary eyes, but when he saw this, his face was relieved, and he nodded kindly, and did not make a sound.
Li Wan felt at least three or four unusual glances, she blessed the man, turned around and walked out.
Chu Fang hurriedly followed, and said carefully: "Miss, you don't see the exhibition anymore?" ”
"It's a shame on the dead, what else to see!" Li Guan scolded her in a low voice, and her steps became more urgent.
Chu Fang lowered her head aggrievedly and followed behind her.
The master and servant hurried out of the Qinsi Pavilion.
They walked straight out of the academy and climbed into the carriage.
Li Guan's face was already indifferent: "Go home." ”
Back at the Remnant Lotus Pavilion, Li Guan instructed Zhu Fang: "You go and tell Qing Yan, everything is going according to plan." ”
She sat on the Luohan bed, and Xun Fang took tea with her own hands.
"Miss, when you were away, Dong Sanye sent someone to come twice and asked when you would come back?"
Li Guan glared: "He hasn't left yet?" ”
Xun Fang nodded.
Li Guan had to put down the teacup and said impatiently: "What the hell does he want to do, it's endless!" ”
Xun Fang bowed his head and was silent.
At this time, the little maid came in and said, "Third Young Master, Third Master Dong is here!" ”
Li Guan's temper came up, and when he heard this, he threw a look at him, and he was so frightened that the little girl ran away.
