Chapter 318: Under the Night
Today's Gathering Paradise is extraordinarily lively, except for the hired workers who come and go, that is, those officials and relatives who come to the Gathering Paradise by carriage and horse. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since most of the women and children are invited, most of the people who serve and serve are naturally daughters-in-law.
However, it is inevitable that some people are planning to use this opportunity to go on a blind date.
Therefore, Li Xiaonuan has already drawn the boundary between men and women in advance.
Fortunately, the barbecue area of Juyuan is divided into three areas, which are surrounded by a small pool. In this way, it is avoided that men and women are placed in the same place.
As the carriages entered the paradise, Li Xiaonuan was also busy.
Originally, she was the most impatient to receive those individuals. But for the sake of the future development of Zhou Village, Li Xiaonuan had to come forward.
Fortunately, Mama Jin has experience in this area, and she doesn't need Li Xiaonuan to worry much.
Today's guards in Paradise were borrowed from outside by Tian Guards. As for who borrowed it, Li Xiaonuan didn't know. Anyway, it's not those who were exiled by Li Xiaonuan.
"Mo Yun, I always feel that someone is looking at me, glaring at me very resentfully. But every time I look back, I can't see who it is. Can you help me keep an eye on it? I don't want anything to happen today that will affect the future development of our village. "Sang Moyun was pulled hard by Li Xiaonuan to help.
After stealing a gap, Li Xiaonuan told Sang Moyun about his worries.
Since the last time she had this feeling, Li Xiaonuan has this uneasy feeling every time she comes to Ju Paradise.
"Really? Then I'll have to take a good look. I said you, when you find something abnormal, you should clear the scene. Just tell me now, what's the use. Sang Moyun pouted, feeling that Li Xiaonuan was really careless.
"I didn't think much about it at the time, I thought it was those people who wanted to see the county lord." Li Xiaonuan didn't want to spoil today's atmosphere, so she made a joke.
"Hmph, you can be poor. When something happens, I'll see what you do. Sang Moyun looked to the side and went to the Ueda guard.
Li Xiaonuan shrugged helplessly, folded up his spirits, and went to greet those nobles.
It was still early in the morning, and all the guests had just gone out after breakfast. Therefore, Li Xiaonuan did not let people start roasting immediately.
So, those ladies and ladies all formed groups in twos and threes and began to visit the Gathering Paradise.
On the side of the female dependents, of course, Li Xiaonuan personally led the team and introduced them to the scenery in the paradise. Even, Li Xiaonuan also gave a rough introduction to the future prospects of Zhou Village.
Due to the fact that there were more people, Li Xiaonuan and Sang Moyun couldn't finish greeting. So, Li Xiaonuan invited Zhou Fangfang and Zhou Jingjing to be tour guides.
Coupled with Li Xiaonuan's arrangements a long time ago, the waiters in various places, those ladies and ladies did not feel neglected.
"That little girl is the sister of Tanhua in your village. Look at this talent, can you talk about people? While laughing with Li Xiaonuan, Mrs. Prefect looked at Zhou Fangfang and asked meaningfully.
Yes, in February, Zhou Fangfang's brother explored flowers in high school. Now, Zhou Fangfang can be regarded as an official lady.
"She, I heard that their family has already helped her marry in the capital. is a cousin of her future sister-in-law's maternal grandfather's family, the third son of Jing Zhaoyin. When Li Xiaonuan heard the news, he was taken aback.
Zhou Fangfang is the same year as Xiaogang and is only twelve years old this year. Dating at this age, in Li Xiaonuan's opinion, is too young.
"Oh, is this true? That's a shame. My dog, who is also thirteen years old this year, thinks they are a good fit. Unexpectedly, someone actually took the lead. The prefect's wife covered her mouth and smiled.
However, there was not much regret in his eyes. Probably this kind of person is used to hiding his inner thoughts.
Next to her, Mrs. Tongzhi, there was a delicate little girl standing next to her, who seemed to be only about ten years old.
The girl twisted her handkerchief and glanced at the prefect's wife, and said to the same lady sullenly: "Mother, I want to go over there to see the fish." ”
I don't want to go to the lotus field with them. Mrs. Tongzhi glanced at the little girl in surprise, and then nodded helplessly in agreement.
Li Xiaonuan called Zhou Jingjing and asked her to take the little girl to the pool.
Of course, seeing that little girl left the team, the other two or three little girls also made excuses to follow.
"These little girls just don't like to be with us old guys." The prefect's wife said again.
"Madam, look at what you said, among our ladies, you are the youngest." Mrs. Li Zhixian said teasingly.
The group walked to the lotus field, and the scene was quite spectacular. Of course, the number of maids and women who are waiting is a little more.
Since the lotus flowers are not yet in their peak season, there are not many flowers. However, the lotus leaves that cover the flower fields are indeed comfortable and enjoyable.
The group talked and laughed on the covered bridge in the flower field, first from the lotus field to the wheat field, and then from the wheat field along the creek and river beach back to the edge of the pool.
Some ladies are curious about the sunflowers that Li Xiaonuan planted. But because the flowers have not bloomed, Li Xiaonuan doesn't know how to describe it.
Li Xiaonuan was typing the draft, thinking about how to sell those sunflowers, and there were bursts of cheers in the men's guest area over there.
The ladies craned their necks to find out what was so funny.
It's a pity that when this paradise was built, it had already taken into account the things that men and women avoided. So, no matter how much the ladies looked sideways, they could only see the back of the attic.
Those ladies didn't understand what was going on, but Li Xiaonuan vaguely heard Xiao Gang shouting "Yilou is awesome" and other words.
Could it be that Yilou is performing some tricks again?
Today, Li Xiaonuan asked Brother Xiaoyang to take Yilou to entertain male guests in the men's guest area, but it was not for Yilou to perform.
Because the men's area is really lively, those ladies and ladies have no intention of visiting the garden.
Li Xiaonuan looked at the sun and felt that it was not too early, so he took the group back.
When she returned to the women's hospital, Li Xiaonuan knew what had happened in the men's room.
It turned out that it was the little men in the men's guest area, who couldn't help but be fresh, and they were stunned to let people set up stalls and barbecue early.
Li Xiaonuan arranged today, there is a highlight of roasting whole sheep. Therefore, what the male guests applauded was Yilou's amazing sheep dividing skills.
In fact, it is the dismemberment of a roasted sheep. It's just that Yilou's dismemberment is very good, and he was stunned to remove the whole sheep from the sheep bones according to the texture, and he also talked about the truth.
The son of the prefect's wife also asked someone to send a piece of mutton to the prefect's wife. It is said that it is the most tender lamb tenderloin, which is roasted very tender and juicy, so that the prefect's wife can eat it while it is hot.
Li Xiaonuan looked at the slices of mutton that were neatly stacked on a white porcelain plate, and sighed again at Yilou's knife work.
After the ladies asked Ming Yilou's age, they strongly asked him to come over here to help the female guest roast the sheep.
However, how could Li Xiaonuan agree. After all, Yilou is a guest of the Li family, not a subordinate.
"I'm sorry ladies and gentlemen. Yilou is the lifesaver of our whole family, not a subordinate. So, we don't tell him to do the work. Li Xiaonuan smiled faintly.
Seeing this, the prefect's wife took the lead and said that she didn't understand the situation and took the risk.
But Li Xiaonuan could see from the disdain on those people's faces that they were unhappy in their hearts.
Also, Yilou just showed his hand in the men's guest area.
Seeing that the female dependents were dissatisfied, Li Xiaonuan neglected to deal with it. However, the links that should be there are not at all arranged.
For example, fishing under the weeping willows; Another example is playing chess and cards in the attic; Or, catch shrimp in the pool and grill yourself.
Of course, there are not many young ladies who fish. However, there are still many little girls who fish for shrimp and grill them by themselves.
Finally, after being busy for most of the day, Li Xiaonuan sent the group away when the sun was approaching the westward setting.
Although the previous incident in Yilou was a little dissatisfied. However, on the whole, today's barbecue in the garden was a success.
Many ladies have booked a time with Li Xiaonuan to hold a small party or something.
After sending away those ladies and ladies who spoke crookedly, Li Xiaonuan felt that the whole person was going to be tired and paralyzed.
I thought that today they only cared about taking care of those nobles, and they couldn't enjoy anything.
Li Xiaonuan instructed people to catch some fish and shrimp, and took out two specially prepared whole sheep, so that everyone present today could have a big meal.
"Sister, I'll go back and call my father and mother. You bake it first, and you must wait for me and Yilou to come back before eating. Xiao Gang looked at Li Xiaonuan excitedly and asked the whole sheep to be put on the rack, and then explained.
"You like to run around so much. I've already asked people to go back and call their parents before, so you can take them with you. Li Xiaonuan couldn't help pinching Xiaogang's face.
This kid has grown up, and there is not much flesh on his face, which is really not fun.
Xiao Gang let go of the side in disgust and said, "Sister, I'm so old, you are not allowed to pinch my face again in the future." ”
After speaking, Xiao Gang angrily asked someone to take the shrimp to roast. Yilou covered his mouth and smiled on the side, and also followed.
Since the guests were gone, there were many people in the garden, and soon the stalls were set up. When dusk came, Li Xiaonuan pulled Sang Moyun up to the attic, intending to rest for a while.
Dealing with those ladies today is really hard and laborious.
"Ouch, I don't understand most of those people talking." Li Xiaonuan lay down on the bamboo collapse under the back window and stretched.
"Hmph, what are you going to understand. Either overtly praise and belittle, attack each other, or all kinds of flattery and want to take advantage. Sang Moyun also lay down on the shelf bed behind the screen, and said quietly.
"Hey, dealing with them is more tiring than planting for a day. No, I'll have to squint for a moment. Li Xiaonuan said, and his brain became chaotic.
Behind the screen, Sang Moyun yawned and began to get confused.
Suddenly, a slender figure appeared at the door of the attic where Li Xiaonuan and the two were resting, and after looking left and right at no one, he quietly slipped into the room.
The figure who entered the house walked to the back window without stopping. At some point, the man had an extra sharp dagger in his hand. (To be continued.) )
