Chapter Twenty-Four: The Past

In the main room of Ronghui Courtyard, Le Xi sat at the round table, staring at the blue and white soup bowl in front of him.

In my mind, there was a scene of Le Yu calling himself on the fork in the road.

Stopped her, asked her if she bumped into Le Yan in Wufuyuan yesterday, and asked her personal maid how she got to Lancuiyuan.

She truthfully said that she did see Le Yan, but before she could say any more, this Le Yu left in a hurry. What did the strange look at her mean before leaving?

Yesterday, I obviously chattered about a chopstick dish for her.

This brother's actions, why she doesn't understand it more and more.

Le Xi thought about it, and she didn't even notice that Li entered the house, but it was Qiu Ju beside her who saluted Li that made her come out of her thoughts.

"Mother, what's wrong, are you in a hurry? The face is not very good. Le Xi raised his eyes and saw that Li's face was a little blue.

Li pursed his lips and shook his head, sat down in the golden silk nanmu official hat chair, and then sent the maids in the house, leaving Mother Xu alone.

Lexi blinked, her bright eyes flashing with doubt.

At this time, Li asked Xu's mother. "The eldest girl is going to come to my name, do you remember when you mentioned it earlier."

When Le Xi heard this, he opened his mouth in surprise.

"Ouch, my good young lady, why did you bring this up again?" The steady mother Xu was so frightened that she shouted out the name of the Li family before leaving the cabinet, "Madame came in person last time to persuade you, why are you ...... now?"

Mother Xu said, and suddenly paused when she noticed that the expression on Li's face was becoming more and more serious, and then said in surprise: "Could it be that the old lady left you and your uncle behind...... Uncle agreed?! ”

Seeing that Mother Xu was startled and caring, Li waved his hand and said, "Uncle didn't agree, I can't remember for a while, when was the first time I mentioned this matter." Look, it scares you. ”

Hearing that the matter was not finalized, Xu's mother sighed and patted her heart, saying that it really scared her. Then I thought about it for a while, and then I told Li about the time.

The first time Le Yan came to the Li family was when Le Yan was eleven years old.

In the winter of that year, Li suffered from a cold and lingered ill for more than a month. In those days, no matter how big the wind and snow were, Le Yan came to Ronghui Courtyard to serve the Li family with decoction.

An eleven-year-old girl came to take care of her grandmother every day with a red nose and a blue face.

People's hearts are flesh and blood, how can the Li family not be moved.

So, after recovering from her illness, Li went to Le Shaoyuan and said that Aunt Le Yan had been gone for so long, and she had been teaching by her side. And that Xiao Li is also her sister-in-law, and she already has blood relatives, so it is better to go directly to her name as a concubine. In the future, it is better to talk about a good family.

At that time, Yuefu was still a marquis, and Le Shaoyuan agreed at that time, and asked the old lady who was still alive for instructions.

When the old lady heard this, she glared at her directly, but she didn't say why.

Xu's mother said that she remembered that the uncle was later called by the old lady alone because of this incident, and he dropped the tea bowl and trained for a whole day, and when the uncle came back, his face was so black that he was almost as black as the bottom of the pot. At the same time, the uncle also brought back two pieces of news.

The first is the relationship between Le Xi and the prince of the country, and the second is that the old lady instructed that Le Yu should not say his relatives before he was eighteen years old.

Then Li's mother heard about this and went directly to persuade Li to dispel this idea, and then the matter has been put on hold. After Le Shaoyuan inherited the title, the old lady was already immortal at that time, and the Yu family mentioned it, but how did it happen later, Xu's mother couldn't remember it clearly.

This is the third time I've mentioned it. After hearing this, Li lowered his head and muttered for a while, got up and said that he was going to the small study to find Le Shaoyuan, and hurriedly stepped out of the door. Mother Xu hurriedly followed.

Le Xi was stunned when he heard it, and his mouth never closed.

Eleven years old...

When she was eleven years old, she also matched her brother to kick the shuttlecock and play rope flipping with her.

It's not quite possible to achieve such sensibility and thoughtfulness.

Is it really precocious for the ancients?

Moreover, there was the matter of her marriage before and after, and the strange conditions for Le Yu to say that she was married. To mention a daughter to Le Yan is also for family affairs.

Yu mentioned this matter again today, and his original intention remained unchanged.

Le Yan calculated her for a good reputation, and she should also be able to fight her relatives with virtue.

But could it all be so coincidental? This connection actually has a terrible feeling that has been planned for a long time.

Le Xi thought about it, and couldn't help but think of Le Yan's appearance of hiding needles in cotton these days, talking and doing things without revealing a drop of water. In this scorching July day, Leng Buding shivered with a chill on his back.

This Le Yan, is she really hiding her mind so deeply?!

Thinking of this, Le Xi couldn't sit still, and hurriedly went to the small study with his skirt. She wanted to tell Le Shaoyuan and Li that it made her feel terrible speculation.

When Le Xi arrived at the study, Le Shaoyuan had already learned from the Li family that there was still such a thing going on, and he also felt that it was too much of a coincidence.

It's just that he doesn't remember anything about the past. I want to know why the old lady was angry at that time, Le Xi's family affairs were set so early, but Le Yu chose to stipulate the age and said that it was difficult to say that the reason for the relationship.

However, with this matter, the three of them have deeper thoughts about Le Yan.

Le Shaoyuan had suspected that there were two things related to Le Yan, and after this incident, he felt the need for in-depth investigation. However, she didn't talk to Li's mother and daughter, but just asked the two to pay attention to her actions.

I can't find the end of the matter, so I have to press it down first.

With Yu's instructions, Li wanted to start the matter of making incense and traveling, and he had to prepare clothes for the trip, so he pulled Le Xi out of the study. Le Shaoyuan continued to read the newspaper in the study.

In the flower hall of Ronghui Courtyard, the Li family listened to the steward's report on the things prepared during the previous offerings, and made additions and decreases as appropriate. Le Xi and Le Yan are measured in the side wing.

After setting the size, the two of them each chose the fabric style that suited their hearts and returned to the flower hall.

Li finally arranged affairs at this time, and just took a sip of tea, when he saw Le Xi come in, he smiled in the corner of his eyes.

"But the choice? Let's hear what it's like. ”

"I can't remember so many names, so let's let this lady tell your mother." Le Xi walked behind Li with a smile, naturally took the fan in Chunya's hand, and gently fanned Li Shi.

Behind Le Yan's well-behaved Fu body, she stood aside with her hands lowered and pleasing to her eyes.

Qu Niangzi first respectfully greeted the salute, and then held the flower sample and selected the two sisters one by one.

Li looked sideways and found that Le Yan's choice was all plain, and the patterns were delicate but not outstanding. With Yu's previous instructions, Li simply said to the lady of Naqu that Le Yan had changed all the options, and she would do it according to the most emerging style and pattern in the capital now, and she wanted to be gorgeous and extravagant, and the girls of Daobo Mansion were always dressed so plainly.

Qu Niangzi smiled in response, re-wrote down Li's request and left.

Le Yan heard that Li had only changed the style she had chosen, and she was filled with joy and excitement in her heart, and thanked Li with a flattered look on her face.
