When it snowed heavily at dawn, Li Guan sat up from the bed with a yawn, leaned on the head of the bed in a daze, and lay down again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xun Fang, who came in to call her to get up, smiled helplessly, walked to the side of the bed and whispered, "Miss, it's time to get up, aren't you going to Zhou's house for a banquet today?" It's too late to get up. ”

Li Guan snorted twice: "If you are late, you will be late, just to create an arrogant image, so as to be embarrassed by the Zhou family......"

What is this talking about, Xun Fang couldn't cry or laugh, sat on the edge of the bed and tucked the quilt for her, and withdrew.

Seeing her shaking her head and coming out, she smiled and said, "Miss regrets it, don't you want to get up?" ”

Xun Fang nodded and said, "Miss has been sleeping until early afternoon lately, and yesterday I wondered how she could agree to go to Zhou's house for lunch, it turns out that she didn't plan to arrive on time at all!" ”

Chu Fang raised her eyebrows: "That's it, Miss has the intention to play the Zhou family, so the shelf naturally has to be sufficient, otherwise how can Zhou Tai and his wife believe that our young lady has the ability and confidence to speak in front of Shen Guogong?" ”

They smiled and said a few words, carefully prepared the clothes and jewelry that Li Guan was going to wear today, and instructed the people at the post station to prepare the carriage and wait for Li Guan to get up.

Li Wan really slept until the beginning of the afternoon before she reluctantly got up, and listlessly let Chu Fang and Xun Fang dress her up.

When he went out, he happened to encounter Feichen coming out to pour ashes, and as soon as he saw Li Guan, who was surrounded by Xunfang, Chufang and Jiang Ning, who was walking out of the courtyard, his eyes widened like a ghost, and he froze in place with the incense burner, until Li Guan's figures disappeared at the gate of the courtyard, he came back to his senses, and ran back to report to Shi Yue.

"Childe, childe, the minion told you something new!"

Shi Yue was studying an endgame in front of the chess game, and said without raising his head when he heard the words: "What's new?" ”

Feichen put the incense burner on the high table in the corner of the wall, ran to the kang and talked about the scene just now: "The slave went out to pour the ashes of the furnace, and it happened that Miss Li was served by the three of them to go out, that posture is not an exaggeration to describe it as arrogant, if it wasn't for the slave who knew in advance that it was them, he wouldn't dare to recognize it at all!" ”

"Oh?" Shi Yue finally raised her eyelids and glanced at him.

Feichen immediately said with great interest: "Miss Li wore a gold gown with roses and purple embroidered flowers all over the place today, a silk cloak with white mink fur on the outside, a complicated high bun for the first time, and a crested hairpin with a bright red gold ruby inserted in it, which looks jeweled and bright, making people feel that they don't know where to put it!" We've known Miss Li for so long, when have you ever seen her high-profile? The clothes she usually wears come and go in those few colors, either moon white or bean green, not to mention the style, at most with a hem on the skirt, what is the difference between walking on the street and the passerby? Childe, you said that Miss Li was dressed up so grandly, where are you going? Who is there in Jiyang City who deserves her such solemnity? ”

Shi Yue held on to the chess piece and smiled lightly, and said leisurely: "Whoever comes to us is the most diligent, she is the one who will go to meet." ”

The most diligent?

Feichen tilted his head and thought for a while: "We have lived in this post station in Jiyang City for seven or eight days, except for Lord Xun, Miss Bai, and Miss Liu...... And that Mrs. Zhou, no one else has come......" He scratched his sideburns and said strangely, "When Lord Xun and Miss Bai came, we all met, Miss Li has always been dressed casually, it seems that only Mrs. Zhou is there...... But Mrs. Zhou is just a family member of a small Jiyang County Commander, and she deserves so much attention from Miss Li? ”

Shi Yue stared at the chessboard and pondered for a moment, then dropped lightly, and then said casually: "Dressing up to attend the other party's banquet does not necessarily mean that you pay attention, and it may also be other intentions." ”

Feichen blinked, other intentions? What is the purpose?

He couldn't think of it.

Shi Yue concentrated on himself, and without saying more, Feichen had no choice but to retreat for unknown reasons.

At this time, in the courtyard of the Zhou family's house, which was located in the back of the Yahou in Jiyang County, Mrs. Zhou was anxiously asking her mother-in-law who had just gone out to look at the wind: "How is it, are you here?" ”

"No, the slave walked two streets in the direction of the post station, and she didn't see Miss Li's frame at all. Madam, do you think Miss Li is ...... Forgot? ”

"Impossible!" Mrs. Zhou immediately said, "Yesterday she promised in front of me that she was good, how could she change her hexagram temporarily?" Even if she can't come, she will send someone to say it, and it is too ...... to repentance without saying a word Our lord is the parent official of this Jiyang County. She said this, but her expression was a little uncertain, "You call two more people, and then take a look on the street, maybe her coachman doesn't know the road and is going wrong?" ”

What is the county office? Pull a random flower child on the street and ask, you know where it is.

The woman looked strange and walked away.

"Madam, the eldest lady has set the meal over there." The maid came in and said.

Mrs. Zhou nodded absentmindedly: "Then let the kitchen pass the meal." ”

The maid stood at the door and hesitated: "But the eldest lady just said that the warm pavilion is too stuffy, so let the banquet be placed in the flower hall......"

Mrs. Zhou was stunned: "Didn't you say that you would entertain those girls in the warm pavilion of the poetry meeting?" Why did you suddenly change your mind? Her slender eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her face was slightly displeased, "Her side of the table is in the flower hall, so where can I entertain Miss Li?" You go and tell the eldest lady that I will entertain distinguished guests in the flower hall at noon, and I can't use it for her there. If she thinks the warm pavilion is boring, she will burn two less charcoal basins and open a window to breathe. Saying that, he muttered in a low voice, "A few little girls play at home, where are they different......

The maid lowered her head, answered in a low voice, and walked quickly to the warm pavilion where Miss Zhou and the others were.

As soon as the curtain of the door was lifted, a hot air mixed with the fragrance of lilies came to the face, and the warm pavilion was as warm as spring, and four or five girls in red and green were sitting or standing, listening to a girl in a pink jacket singing in the center.

Seeing the maid come in, the girl in the pink jacket stopped: "How is it, is lunch ready?" After asking, without waiting for the maid to answer, he smiled at the other girls and said, "This poem will be sung here first, let's go to dinner first, and then continue after eating." ”

The girls said yes and let her get up.

A trace of panic flashed on the maid's face, and she stepped forward and said, "Miss, Mrs. is going to entertain guests in the flower hall today, do you see if lunch is ......?"

Before she finished speaking, Miss Zhou's expression immediately changed: "Distinguished guest? What kind of distinguished customer? How did I not know? ”

"This ...... It was the wife who said it, and the slave didn't know either. The maid's voice was like a gnat.

Miss Zhou showed a sneer on her face, turned her head and apologized to the girls: "There is something going on on my mother's side, I'll go over and take a look, and your sisters will have a cup of tea here first." ”

The people who can be invited by her to the family are very good with her, and they know the situation in her family, and they all say: "Then you go quickly, don't worry about us." ”

Miss Zhou smiled at them and walked out of the warm pavilion quickly.

As soon as she came out, the smile on her face disappeared, and she walked to the main room where Mrs. Zhou lived with a cold face.

Mrs. Zhou was waiting in the house, when she heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, and thought it was the mother-in-law who was looking at the wind coming back, so she hurriedly greeted the door.

"Madam, the eldest lady is here, and the slave can't stop it......" The little maid guarding the door said in a panic after her.

Mrs. Zhou unconsciously took a step back, and said to the people serving in the room: "Okay, let's all go down......"

A few maids were busy, and only one mother who had served Mrs. Zhou since she was a child was left.

"The eldest lady is here, please take a seat." The mother smiled humbly and quietly blocked Mrs. Zhou behind her.

It's a pity that Miss Zhou would put her as a servant in her eyes, sneered and waved her away, and said straight to Mrs. Zhou: "I heard the maid say that my mother wants to entertain distinguished guests in the flower hall, so the table in my room can't be placed in the flower hall." She slowly glanced around the room, "I don't know who your guest's name is, and where is he now?" ”

Li Wan has not heard from her until now, Mrs. Zhou is very suspicious that she is really not coming, and in the face of Miss Zhou's questioning, she lowered her eyes a little weakly: "Guest...... On the way...... It's almost ......."

"It's almost there?" Miss Zhou raised her eyebrows ridiculously, "What time is it now, is this guest planning to come to our house to wash dishes?" ”

That's a bit ugly.

Mrs. Zhou's face changed slightly: "Sister Lan, you ......"

"Sister Lan, you can also call it?" As soon as she spoke, Miss Zhou suddenly became angry, "I entertain a few sisters at home, you don't arrange a few maids to serve carefully, even if I want to set a table in the flower hall, I have to point fingers!" What kind of distinguished guest, just by virtue of the few vulgar relatives of your Li family, they are also worthy of being called the distinguished guests of my Zhou family? ”

Mrs. Zhou's face turned white instantly, and she staggered onto the armrest of the Taishi's chair.

"Miss, you're going too far to say that!" The mother beside Mrs. Zhou said solemnly.

Miss Zhou glanced at her disdainfully: "The master speaks, how can you be a slave to interject?" ”

"The old slave doesn't want to talk too much, but what you just said, Miss, is really hard to hear. Mrs. said that she is also an adult who is married and carried into the door, it is your mother, how can you talk to your wife like this? ”

Miss Zhou sneered when she heard this, and said, "If you want to be my mother, it depends on whether she has that qualification!" The daughter of a lowly businessman, who has not yet taken off the smell of copper, dares to put her mother's score in front of me? Don't look in a mirror to get a good look at herself! ”

"You ......"

"Alright, Mom, don't say it." Mrs. Zhou closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and looked at Miss Zhou, "Miss, whether you admit it or not, I am your nominal mother." It doesn't matter if you hate me or look down on me, anyway, I didn't marry your father to please you. I didn't deliberately go against you today, I really wanted to entertain an important guest at home, and your father knew about it, or did he let me ......"

"Madam, Miss Li has arrived!" The mother-in-law's happy voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

Miss Zhou originally frowned and listened to Mrs. Zhou's words, but when she heard this, her face suddenly changed, and her gaze at Mrs. Zhou became as sharp as a blade, and she screamed, "Miss Li? ”

Mrs. Zhou was slightly stunned, and then realized that she had misunderstood, and was about to explain a few sentences, when Miss Zhou had already turned her head and rushed out.

"Quick, stop her!" Mrs. Zhou said hurriedly and chased after her in a panic.

Miss Zhou is angry, and even Mrs. Zhou has to give her three points, let alone those servants.

Seeing Miss Zhou running out angrily, they all retreated and bowed their heads to make way.

Miss Zhou ran all the way to the door of the hanging flowers.

A black-painted flat-headed carriage stopped at the door, and as soon as the gorgeously dressed girl got off the car, the mother-in-law at the door greeted her flatteringly: "Miss Li, you can count it, our wife has been waiting for a long time!" ”

The girl put on the mink cloak on her body, took the cloisonné enamel handstove handed by the maidservant next to her, and glanced at the woman with a proud expression: "Where is your wife?" Why didn't she come out to meet me? ”

When Miss Zhou heard this, her eyes were so angry that her eyes were on fire, what did she dare to come to their Zhou family to set up a score?

She rushed up and shouted, "Poor hoof, open your dog's eyes and see what this place is!" ”

Mrs. Zhou, who ran out behind her, heard this, and her eyes suddenly bloomed, and her legs were weak, if it weren't for the maid's quick eyes to support her, she would have sat down.

As soon as Li Wan got out of the car, she didn't expect that what greeted her was not the flattering face of the Zhou family, but the inexplicable contempt of a little girl.

She was slightly stunned, and her gaze slowly sank, as deep and unfathomable as an ancient well.

Mrs. Zhou walked over with the maid's arm and smiled reluctantly: "Miss Li, you are here." Let me introduce to you, this is our eldest lady, the single word named Lan. Saying that, he glanced at Zhou Lan, "Miss, this is Miss Li, hurry up and salute Miss Li!" ”

It's a pity that Zhou Lan's mind was on Li Guan, and she didn't notice her eyes at all, she still stared at Li Wan with her eyebrows up, and said disdainfully: "Are you from the Li family?" ”

Li Wan nodded lightly.

"Get out!" Zhou Lan pointed to the direction of the gate and said, "Our Zhou family is not just a cat or a dog can enter!" ”

"Sister Lan, shut up for me!"

Mrs. Zhou was almost fainted, stepped in front of her in two steps, slapped her raised right hand, and instructed the maids on the left and right: "Take the eldest lady back to the house immediately!" ”

Maids, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to be the first to step forward.

Zhou Lan glared at Mrs. Zhou and said sharply: "Li Xuelian, you dare to beat me?" What are you that you dare to fight ......"

"What are you doing? There aren't enough people burning a fire on the stove, right? Mrs. Zhou covered her mouth and scolded the maids.

Only then did the maids come forward tremblingly and grab Zhou Lan's hands and feet.

Zhou Lan was covered by Mrs. Zhou's mouth, kept yelling, struggling desperately, and even kept glaring at Li Guan.

Li Wan looked at the chaotic scene in front of him and stroked his forehead speechlessly.

She took two steps back, leaned on the wheel, and said lightly: "Escort Jiang, please let Miss Zhou calm down." ”
