Chapter 29: Writing a Letter

Wang Manqing hesitated: "But grandmother ......"

"If you are worried about the old lady's displeasure, you can hide it from her first. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Li Wan hurriedly said, analyzing the pros and cons for her with a clear idea, "You think, the old lady is old after all, maybe one day he will ...... You've done your filial piety all the years you've been by her side, and it's time to think about yourself. Why did your second uncle and second aunt dare to marry you to the Jin family? Isn't it because except for the old lady, they are your only elders, and they can decide your marriage at will. But you still have your grandfather, only he is willing to stand up for you, and your uncle and they all have to stand aside! ”

Speaking of this, her heart moved: "It is estimated that the Jin family wants to marry you, and it has nothing to do with your grandfather's family......"

"You mean......" Wang Manqing reacted immediately.

Li Wan nodded.

"So you have to tell your grandfather about your current situation. He was willing to help your mother back then, and now he will definitely not watch you being bullied, after all, you are his granddaughter! ”

"That's right, my grandfather and grandmother loved me the most when I was a child." Wang Manqing's eyes were a little moist, "When I used to have birthdays, they would send people to send me gifts, and after my father died, they would send letters every month." My mother was sick, and my uncle and aunt came to the capital to see us in person......"

She thought of the warmth between her relatives and the grievances she had suffered in the house over the years, and couldn't help but sob.

Li Guan wiped her tears with a handkerchief and held her hand with pity.

Wang Manqing cried for a while, felt better in her heart, and glanced at Li Wan with some embarrassment.

Li Wan looked at her with a smile, his eyes were very soft and warm.

Wang Manqing said: "But how can I send a letter to Jiangnan?" ”

"I can find someone to send it for you, you can write it directly!"

Wang Manqing didn't know what Li Guan could do, but after this period of getting along, she also saw that Li Guan was not as simple as it seemed, and she had a lot of trust in her heart, and said, "Okay, I'll come to you when I finish writing the letter." ”

She looked at the account book in her hand: "What about this?" ”

Li Guan smiled: "The most important thing now is to contact your grandfather's family, this is not in a hurry." ”

Wang Manqing said: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

Li Wan saw her trusting eyes, and felt a little strange in his heart.

At this time, Xun Fang came in and said, "Miss, Miss Six, do you want to pass on lunch?" ”

"What time is it?"

"It's past noon."

Li Wan said to Wang Manqing: "Then let's have lunch first." ”

Wang Manqing nodded.

After lunch, Wang Manqing remembered the variety of flavors of cakes that Li Guan said last time, and was so excited that she pulled Li Guan and ran to the kitchen to find Hui Niang, and the three of them spent an afternoon in the kitchen.

Mrs. Li knew that Wang Manqing was coming, so she ordered the big kitchen to make a sumptuous dinner and send it to the Remnant Lotus Pavilion.

When the lanterns were first on, Wang Manqing returned to the Rongning Marquis Mansion with two newly made cakes and a box of exquisite pastries made by Hui Niang.

The next day, Li Guan had lunch and planned to go to his mother to say goodbye.

When she entered the courtyard gate, the maid in the main courtyard respectfully welcomed her in.

Two eight or nine-year-old boys were playing in the yard, and Li Wan asked, "Are you there?" ”

The maid smiled and said, "Gu Gongzi came to find the third young master, and came to greet Madame by the way." ”

Gu Chengyu is here?

Li Wan paused, and was a little hesitant to go back to the Remnant Lotus Pavilion first and come back in the evening.

At this time, the maid had already said: "The previous lady was still talking about you, young lady, please come in." Then he stepped forward and opened the curtain for her.

Li Wan had no choice but to gather his thoughts and enter the house.

Mrs. Li was sitting on the kang near the window, talking to Gu Chengyu, who was wearing a blue lotus-colored treasure pattern brocade robe, and Li Zhi was sitting next to her, playing with the corner of her clothes a little bored.

The maid said, "Miss is back!" ”

Li Zhi raised his head, his eyes lit up, and he rushed over and threw himself into Li Guan's arms.

Li Wan liked his younger brother to be close to him, and touched his head with a smile before stepping forward to salute Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li glared at Li Zhi with a smile, and then said to Li Guan with a smile: "Why did you come here at this time, have you had lunch?" ”

Li Wan smiled and nodded: "I've eaten it." ”

Mrs. Li pointed at Gu Chengyu and said, "Gu Gongzi, you've seen it." ”

Li Guan turned sideways towards him: "Li Guan has seen Gu Gongzi." ”

Gu Chengyu stood up and shouted "Miss Li" with a smile, still as gentle and humble as she had in her impression.

Mrs. Li looked at the two people who looked at each other and smiled, a hint of discoloration flashed in her eyes, she stretched out her hand to pull Li Guan to her side, and said to Gu Chengyu: "Since you follow Wei Jie and Yue'er to call me aunt, treat Guan'er as your sister, 'Miss Li' and 'Gu Gongzi' listen to it!" ”

The tone is very affectionate.

Li Guan's face showed undisguised surprise, when did his mother become so familiar with Gu Chengyu?

Gu Chengyu was also surprised, but after seeing Li Guan's expression, his heart moved slightly, and he smiled: "What my aunt said is true." Then he shouted "sister" to Li Guan.

Li Wan was stunned for a moment, just so inexplicable, she has another brother?

A strange feeling welled up in her heart, especially when she felt Gu Chengyu's brother-like gentle gaze, she felt even more that something was wrong.

In her heart, Gu Chengyu was just a teenager, and they were strangers not long ago......

Seeing that she was silent, Mrs. Li thought she was shy, and clapped her hands with a smile.

Li Wan had no choice but to squeeze out a smiling face and shouted awkwardly, "Brother." ”

Two days later, Wang Manqing came to Li Guan.

"The place where I live is inconvenient, so I didn't write it." She told Li Guan vaguely.

Li Wan knew what she meant, she lived in the warm pavilion in Wang Taijun's house, and there were people serving everywhere, and it was hard to guarantee that the content of the letter would make people peep.

"It's okay, it's the same now." Li Wan called Xunfang to prepare pen and ink, and went to the study with her.

Wang Manqing sat straight behind the bookcase, hesitant and didn't put down the pen for a long time.

Maybe she wasn't mentally prepared enough, after all, she hadn't been in touch for so many years, and it was really not easy for her to suddenly confess her heart to someone she didn't know, even if that person was the person who was most likely to plot for her now.

Li Guan glanced at Xun Fang and said with a smile: "I just got up and haven't eaten yet." You write first, I'll go get something to eat. ”

Wang Manqing didn't think much about it: "Then you can go quickly." ”

Xun Fang followed Li Guan out of the study, leaving the space for her and the personal maid Peony.

Although Li Wan made a temporary excuse, he did feel a little hungry, so he asked the maid to serve two plates of snacks.

She ate very slowly, firstly, because she was used to procrastination, and secondly, because she wanted Manqing to have enough time.

After more than half an hour, Wang Manqing finished writing the letter and came out of the study.

Peony handed her the letter that had been packed into the envelope, she took it and put it in front of Li Guan: "I'll leave the following things to you." ”

Her tone was very serious, and Li Wan hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I will have someone hand over the letter to your grandfather intact." Then he asked Chu Fang to keep the letter close and arrange for the proper people to be sent to Ningbo.

A worried look flashed in Wang Manqing's eyes: "...... Why don't you help me take a look...... I hadn't been in touch with my grandfather for years, and I didn't know if the words were appropriate. At first, he was a little hesitant, but then his tone became more and more affirmative, "Yes, you can help me take a look...... The matter involves the Jin family, so it is better to be cautious. ”

Everyone has things they don't want others to know, and Li Wan has always felt that even the closest people should respect each other's privacy. She regards Manqing as her best friend, and when her friend is in trouble, she should help her, but this does not mean that she can help Manqing make any decisions.

She stood as a bystander, and she could see the situation more clearly, if it was because she polished the letter to Qiao Siming, she could naturally analyze the pros and cons more thoroughly and persuade him to stand up for Manqing. But for Man Qing, this letter is not only a request for help, but also a venting of feelings.

She didn't want to give the feeling any utilitarian overtones.

"No need." She smiled at Wang Manqing, "My granddaughter's letter to my grandfather, even if I add ten sentences, it can't compare to you." Your grandfather will be glad to receive your letter. Without hesitation, he handed the letter to Chu Fang.

When Wang Manqing heard this, a small smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth, and the apprehension in her eyes turned into expectation.

Seeing that she had no objections, Chu Fang sealed the letter in front of them and put it in her sleeve pocket: "The slave will send the letter out now." ”

Li Wan nodded, and Wang Manqing said politely to her: "I'm sorry for you." ”

"Miss Six, don't say that, our young lady treats you as a close friend, and it is a blessing to be a slave who can run errands for you." She flattered her with a smile, and her face was full of smiles, and she became closer to Li Guan in her heart.

"Are you in a hurry to go back?" When Chu Fang left, Li Wan asked Wang Manqing.

"No hurry, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, if you're not in a hurry, you'll have dinner and leave. Hui Niang made a few new dishes, and the taste was very good. ”

Wang Manqing thought that it would be okay to go back, and she had to deal with those annoying flies, so she said, "Okay! The food made by Hui Niang is the most delicious. ”

Li Guan smiled and asked people to go to the kitchen to inform Hui Niang, and asked her to make a few fresh dishes for Wang Manqing to try for dinner.

Wang Manqing loves everything she eats for ten minutes, thinking that she has a good mouth today, and there is a solution to the affairs of the Jin family, her mood suddenly soared, she took a sip of tea comfortably, and sighed comfortably against the big soft pillow on the kang.

"Miss, do you still need to tidy up in the study?" Seeing that they were done, Shengfang asked.

After being reminded by her, Li Guan thought that when Manqing came, she was planning to tidy up the study with Shengfang Yuanfang.

She doesn't like to let the maid tidy up the study, so she plans to take advantage of the free time these days to sort out the study, and it is best to classify those calligraphy and paintings, so as not to get damp or moth-eaten.

"Let's put it there for now, let's talk about it in a few days, it's not in a hurry anyway." She said lightly.

Manqing is here, if she goes to the study now, she will definitely go with her. It is inevitable that there are some things in the study that are not suitable for her to see, and Li Wan doesn't want to do much.

"yes, your study is too messy, isn't it?" Wang Manqing couldn't help but be surprised when she thought of those books and scrolls that were messed up.
