Chapter 144: Abacus

Li's eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and she saw that Le Hou had not spoken, "Master Hou, what's wrong with you?" Why don't you speak? Saying that, Li reached out to help Le Hou straighten his clothes, "Master Hou, the button on your neckline is in the wrong position, and the concubine will help you re-fasten it." ”

"No, you don't." Le Hou hurriedly retreated, "Ben Hou will come by himself." ”

Lehou hurriedly walked to the inner room and watched the bronze mirror re-fasten the neckline.

Le Hou sorted out his thoughts, and when he went to the second outer room, there was no expression on his face, "Let's go, time is pressing." ”

Seeing this, Li hurriedly followed Lehou out.

When he arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion, Le Hou said, "Hua'er and your mother make a carriage, Jun'er, are you good at riding a horse with your father?" ”

After the New Year, Le Jun will be fifteen, it is his unruly temperament, he said happily, "Okay, father." ”

Li and Lehua got into the carriage together.

Looking at the smile in Li's eyes, Lehua said, "Mother, what my daughter said is right. Thou hast followed thy father's instinct and did not confront him. No matter how big the thing is, it will slowly pass. ”

Li thought about it, and it was indeed like that. She grabbed Lehua's hand and said with a smile, "My mother has lived for most of her life, but she hasn't seen Hua'er thoroughly." Hua'er, you are proud of your mother! ”

"Mother," Lehua pursed her lips and said coquettishly, "In fact, it's not my daughter's ability, it's my daughter's upbringing from the palace." ”

Lehua's wedding date is set for the sixth day of October this year.

Last month, the palace sent a low level of parenting grandma to teach Lehua the rules. Li is very happy, which represents the royal family's attention to Hua'er.

Unlike Yueqing, it only took three months from engagement to marriage. Not to mention that there will be a nurturing grandmother to teach her the rules!

The engagement is married within three months, which is to be criticized in the family. People in the world will more or less marry a woman with some contempt, and will think that she has committed something to marry so eagerly.

However, because it was a royal marriage, Chu Yueqing married the fifth prince.

The public opinion of these two things is too big, and the world can't remember how long it took for Chu Yueqing to get married.

There are also speculations. Maybe the concubine of the Lehou Mansion has already had a marriage contract with the fifth prince, but it is just a late decree...

Li and Lehua sat in the carriage and talked, and before they knew it, they arrived at Li's mansion.

The Li Mansion is located on Hongfang Street in the east of the capital. Hongfang Street is close to a riverbank, and every year it is the time of the Lantern Festival. Flaming red lanterns of all kinds are scattered along the embankment.

There are also many restaurants on Hongfang Street, and every year during the Chinese New Year, they will hang round and large red lanterns on the doors of their shops.

This is the origin of the name of Red Square Street.

The Li Mansion is on the northernmost boundary of Hongfang Street, where there is no water. There is only a flat land.

A hundred years ago, a wealthy businessman from the south bought the flat land and built several exquisite mansions on it. Originally, those houses were for the rich merchants to live in. However, it is rumored that one year, the rich merchant suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Twenty years later, the government took those houses back and resold them.

Li got out of the carriage and saw the unique door corner design of his house. said with a smile, "Hua'er, don't look at your grandfather's Fangzi realm, which is not the best in Beijing. However, this house is unique and exquisite, and the house in Beijing is not as good as the house. ”

Lehua smiled and agreed, "Mother is very true. ”

But in my heart, I said, isn't it just a good-looking house? After she marries the third prince, she will want as many as she wants!

Le Hou Ye and Le Jun dismounted together and walked towards Li and Lehua.

Lehou stood still. Coughed slightly, "Let's go in." ”

Guarding the gatehouse of the Li Mansion, I saw Lehou and the Li family coming. I sent the little doorman around me to report early.

The courtyard of the Li Mansion is not big, not for a while. The doorman came out with Li Shilang and Li Qing.

"Uncle," Li Qing shouted happily before he approached, "Auntie, Cousin Hua and Cousin Jun are here." ”

If it were a change to previous years, Li Shilang would definitely stare at Li Qing fiercely and not let him be so enthusiastic. However, this year, Knowing Lehou came with him. He didn't stop Li Qing.

Although he didn't expect Lehou to help his grandson, there was no need to offend him. If Brother Qing really fell into Le Hou's eyes, maybe he would help two in the future.

Li Shilang's mind turned quickly. He didn't like Lehou in the past, because Lehou didn't give him face. Now, since Le Houken took the initiative to show favor and conformity, he naturally would not turn him away.

Almost all people thought that Lehou came this time to show his goodwill.

Lee's too. She took Lehua to the backyard to see her sister-in-law, and said proudly, "Master Hou was too busy in previous years, so he couldn't pay a visit with me." This year, the border war is stable, and Hou Ye doesn't have to rush back in such a hurry. Didn't you just come back with me? ”

In the past, because Lehou did not accompany her back to her parents' house, Li's sister-in-law excluded her a lot.

This time, it was not easy for Lehou to accompany her, and the Li family naturally wanted to win back a city in front of her sister-in-law.

Li's sister-in-law's surname is Sun, and she is the daughter of a colleague of Li Shilang.

Before the Li family got married, the relationship between their aunt and sister-in-law was actually quite harmonious. really had a plan, or after the Li family got married. First of all, the Li family married Gaomen, and when he returned to the Li Mansion every year, he always had a high-spirited attitude, and the Sun family was disliked.

Then, it was Li's eldest brother, Sun's husband, who died of illness in the thirteenth year of Emperor Mo. The Li family shirked it for various reasons, but they didn't even worship.

Since then, there has been a gap between the two. If Li doesn't come back, Sun will lose her two sentences.

This time, Sun didn't care about Li's show-off, she smiled, "Lord Le Hou is really good to you, and sister-in-law is naturally happy for you." ”

… The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Sun called her daughter over, "Sister Nan, this is your cousin Hua." You take her to our house for a walk, and my mother has something to say to your aunt. ”

Li Nan is a posthumous daughter, and she is just thirteen this year.

Her face is still childish, and she still looks like a child.

Lehua looked at her as if she were a child. He was kind to her and went out with her.

Not long after Li Nan and Lehua walked out, Li put away her smiling face, and she said, "Sister-in-law, do you have anything to say to me?"

Sun was not surprised, she took a sip of tea slowly, the smile on her face was inconvenient, she said, "Sister Nan'er will turn thirteen in April this year, and she has reached the age when she should say goodbye." ”

Li's face turned slightly, "Sister-in-law, do you want me to help?" ”

"You're willing to help, of course it's best." Sun smiled.

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that? No matter what my sister says, she is my eldest brother's daughter, and I, as an aunt, am naturally willing to help manage her marriage. As long as my sister-in-law doesn't blame me for overstepping, it's fine. Li smiled.
