Chapter 21: A beautiful proposal, a ring, and a flower
86_86297 "Qi Family? ā
"Qi family?"
Yun Zirao, who was also in the Li Mansion, looked at the housekeeper Li Qiao who was standing in front of her, and when she heard what he said about the Qi family, she was a little in a trance, and after thinking about it carefully, she remembered that she was at the plum banquet, and finally, a person named Qi Jue from the Qi family stood up and helped the Lu family speak, and later left with the Lu family.
"This morning, the old slave went to the tea house to get tea for the old man, the people in the tea house are discussing, the Qi family bought the Lu family's big house, let the Lu family live in peace, the tea house listened to the old slave and asked the old slave to bring a few words to Miss Table, saying that the Qi family has colluded with the Lu family's second room in recent years, and bought hundreds of acres of fertile land in Yu County, Lanling City, and this year's harvest is quite rich, a few days ago, Qi Yue, the head of the Qi family, and the second son of Lu were secretly spying in the wing of the tea house, and the words mentioned King Lie!"
Yun Zirao turned her head and glanced at Jin Aotian, and the two of them had a little understanding in their eyes.
"Thank you, Uncle Qiao, I know."
"Rao'er, it seems that King Lie has lost the Lu family and caught up with the Qi family, what is the relationship between the Qi family and the Lu family?" Jin Aotian frowned, about the Lu family, he already knew that the evidence of the collusion between the Lu family and the Lie King and the Lu family's dozens of acres of fertile land deed gave the Li family two holy decrees, and at the same time solved the problem of the Jin Emperor's poverty in the north every year, and further confirmed the existence of the hidden soldiers under the Lie King, which can be said to be indispensable.
It's just that I didn't expect that as soon as the Lu family fell, a Qi family came next, Jin Aotian's eyes were deep, and there were thousands of thoughts in his mind, and if the Lie King didn't get rid of it for a day, he would ......
"The second lady of the Lu family is a concubine of the Qi family, when she was young, her mother was killed by the wife of the Qi family, and she was in the Qinglou, and was favored by the second son of Lu, and redeemed herself and went back to be a concubine, and later the second lady of Lu died of illness, because she gave birth to Miss Lu, married King Lie as a side concubine, and was raised to be a wife, and her mother was also raised as a flat wife in the Qi family!"
I have to say that the second lady of the Lu family is also a person with a lot of experience, I am afraid that the Qi family will buy land in Yu County, and she will not be able to get rid of it, the relationship between King Lie and the Lu family is from the good land of the Lu family, this point, the second lady of Lu must know something, now that King Lie has lost the fat of the Lu family's good field, he will naturally choose to abandon the Lu family and choose another family, and this Qi family just came in handy.
"Zirao, just now my father and I went to the City Lord's Mansion to check, the title deed of the good land in Yu County, Lanling City has become the Qi family four years ago, and the landlords and tenants who originally owned those good fields are either dead or missing, and I am afraid that there are no more people who are still in Yu County!" Li Hua hurried back from the fried chicken restaurant, obviously, he also heard the news of the discussion in Lanling City, and in order to confirm the news, he also went to the City Lord's Mansion on purpose.
"Cousin, is Deputy City Lord Meng here?" The Qi family bought land, there must have been a lot of things happening here, and the evil things of killing people and setting fires must have been done, but these things, why didn't the City Lord's Mansion receive the news at all?
Or is there a moth from the Lu family or the Qi family in the City Lord's Mansion?!
"The archives of the City Lord's Mansion on the land records of the Lanling City Store have always been taken care of by Meng Dong, the henchman of the deputy city lord Meng, this time there was a problem, the deputy city lord Meng was furious, and after a thorough investigation, he learned that Meng Dong had already been bought by the Lu family and the Qi family, over the years, the archives have changed a lot, and the Qi family has no less than ten shops in Lanling City, and they are all prosperous shops, the original owners of these shops are no longer in Lanling City, whether they are dead or alive, there is no way to know!"
"What a family! The ambition is obvious, it seems that this Qi family probably knew about the collusion between the Lu family and King Lie, and began to prepare early in the morning, just waiting for King Lie to find him, I am afraid that even if King Lie does not find the Qi family, the Qi family will eventually have to hook up with King Lie one day! Lord Wang, the Wang family and the Lu family in Lanling City are gone, but this Qi family is more ferocious than the Wang family and the Lu family......"
Yun Zirao looked at Jin Aotian's gloomy face, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious, the situation of the Li family has just improved, and the news that the Li family has spread outside about Li Peng is that the poisoning has been deep, and now, what the Lie King is waiting for must be Li Peng's death, so as to support the Qi family to take the throne!
This Qi family is bigger than the Lu family and the Wang family, the family business is bigger, and the food in the hands of the King Lie wants, and the Qi family is alert and good at enduring hibernation, more low-key than the Wang family and the Lu family, but the ability is more than a hundred times stronger than the Wang and Lu families, Wang Shigui can't do a single thing, the Lu family because of Yun Zirao and Ouyang Chenfeng's gags, deliberately cheating, and the whole family business is decaying, this Qi family is like the savior of the Lie King, and the Lie King naturally has to be firmly grasped in his hands.
With the big fat of the Qi family, going to the Wang family and the Lu family, the two burdens, King Lie is like losing the sesame seeds and hugging the watermelon, such a good thing really makes Yun Zirao angry.
"Xiao Yun'er, you are so good at pitting people, this Lu family and the Wang family have been bleeding three feet by you, this Qi family is not as good as ......" Ouyang Chenfeng's eyes flashed, thinking of the silver and those valuable treasures in the Lu family and the Wang family, Ouyang Chenfeng smiled, this silver came too fast and too easy!
"No, this time, we may be able to go through the Qi family and find the location of the Lie King's hidden soldiers!" Yun Zirao's mind turned, and then said: "Last time at the plum banquet, between the words of the two young masters of the Lu family, there was a lot of bullying and hegemony under the banner of the Lie King, maybe we can take advantage of this, first ruin the reputation of the Lie King, and then Ouyang Gongzi can use various means to suppress the Qi family's shop, as for the good land over there in Yu County, if the good land becomes a wasteland......
"Xiao Yun'er is Xiao Yun'er, I thought of the idea so quickly, the Golden Emperor and the regent have Xiao Yun'er as a military advisor, not to mention a Qi family, a martyr king, I'm afraid that there are three or five more, and they are not Xiao Yun'er's opponents!" Ouyang Chenfeng leaned back on the chair behind him, and his lazy and bewitching posture made Yun Zirao's head appear black.
Yun Zirao glanced at Ouyang Chenfeng, and said angrily: "Ouyang Gongzi is too elevated to me, I am only responsible for talking on paper, as for how to do it and how to prepare, it is your business, what I care about is just the Li family!" ā
Jin Aotian held Yun Zirao's hand, and looked at Yun Zirao with his eyes, full of heat and pride.
The day before Chinese New Year's Eve, Wang Xiang rushed back to the capital with Jin Aotian's letter, and the action against the Qi family gradually began.
And this time, the curtain opened, and finally closed, it took a long time.
The sound of firecrackers brings the New Year, and laughter ushers in the New Year.
On the day of Chinese New Year's Eve, early in the morning, the whole Li Province was busy, and Yun Zi raised yƬ and brought everyone from the other courtyard to the Li family, and the Meng family also followed.
Loei can be described as the most lively Chinese New Year's Eve in more than a decade.
Li Peng, Meng Huai and Hua Xiaoyao all gathered in the study to drink tea and write couplets.
Jin Aotian, Ouyang Chenfeng, Feng Xiaochen, Yi Qingfeng and Li Hua all arranged the dining room and lanterns under Yun Zirao's arrangement.
Yun Zirao, Li Mengshi, Mrs. Meng, Meng Yuan and Meng Le chatted and gossiped in Haitang Garden.
Anfu and Li Qiao's housekeepers led a group of subordinates to be busy in the kitchen.
The meat bun is with a big black, slippery here, where to see, running around, so unhappy.
In Begonia Garden, Li Meng and Mrs. Meng held hands, smiling and not knowing what they were talking about.
"Sister Yun, the poems you wrote last time at the plum banquet were written down by my sister after she came home, and she hung them in the room every day to read them!" Meng Le is still young, innocent and cheerful, with a bit of a child's heart.
The staff of the Meng Mansion is simple, which makes Meng Yuan and Meng Le's temperament kind and simple, and there is a lot less darkness.
"It seems that my poems are really good, if I have the chance, I will definitely go to Feng Mo Xuan and ask Mo Gongzi to send me a plaque of poetry to hang at home......" Yun Zirao touched her chin, and her narcissistic tone made Meng Yuan and Meng Le laugh.
"As long as Miss Yun speaks, Fengmo Xuan will not be happy!" Meng Yuan covered her mouth and smiled and joked with Yun Zirao, her eyes were full of appreciation and joy.
"That's it, last year, my sister won the leader of the couplet, and Mo Gongzi brought a lot of gifts to the Meng Mansion, and the above were all pairs of sisters at the plum banquet! My sister is so happy, she has been hiding in the room, and I am not allowed to see it, but this year with Sister Yun, Mo Gongzi has not ......"
"Le'er, Hugh is talking nonsense, Miss Yun, Le'er is not sensible, and she is open-mouthed......"
"It's okay, Sister Le'er is reckless and cute, I like it very much, it's just that Sister Yuan ...... to Mo Gongzi" Yun Zirao didn't ignore Meng Le's blushing cheeks and flustered eyes when Meng Le said Mo Ran a few times.
It seems that this Meng Yuan is interested in Mo Ran, a talented and beautiful woman, she is really a perfect match, but I don't know what Mo Ran thinks, maybe you can find a chance to ask!
"Miss Yun......" Meng Yuanjiao called out with disgust, and her face was already full of Feixia.
"Zirao, Yuan'er, what did Le'er say?" Li Mengshi and Mrs. Meng walked over, and the two of them were also beaming with joy on their faces.
"Auntie, Aunt Meng." Yun Zirao stood up and pulled two chairs for the two, and Zijin quickly served the two of them new tea.
"I didn't talk about anything, I just talked about poetry." Yun Zirao looked at Meng Yuan's panicked appearance and deliberately diverted the topic, Meng Le didn't dare to say more when she saw Li Mengshi and Mrs. Meng coming, it can be seen that this rule and etiquette really restrained her temperament.
"Shicai and your uncle also talked about the plum banquet, this year's plum banquet was thinking of finding a good family for Yuan'er, but the familiar families are all daughters, and those who have school-age brothers are either married, or they already have a target in the phase, no, I just talked to your uncle about Hua'er, and the relationship between Hua'er and the Lu family is gone, because it was because of ...... Now that the Li family and the Meng family are friendly, it would be great if they could come and kiss again! Mrs. Meng smiled and took Li Meng's hand, and said to Yun Zirao, Yun Zirao is now the princess of Jin Aotian in everyone's eyes, and she has been out of the cabinet, so she naturally talks about these things with her, and has a lot less scruples.
"Mother, my daughter is still ......" Meng Yuan listened to Mrs. Meng's words, her eyes darkened, and she was a little sad.
Yun Zirao saw it in her eyes, quite helpless, this ancient intimacy and inbreeding, it is really common, but it is just ...... Thinking of the two children of Zhou Changsheng's family and Uncle Wu's family in Yueshan Village, Yun Zirao was very sad, plus Meng Yuan was ruthless to Li Hua, and she belonged to someone else in her heart, if the two got married, wouldn't it be ......
Yun Zirao thought about whether to use Yi Qingfeng's influence in the hearts of the people of the Aoyun Continent to talk about the danger of close relatives, but after thinking about it, what if Mrs. Meng didn't believe it, or misunderstood her? There was a sigh in my heart, mixed with a little speechlessness.
"Zirao, what do you think about Hua'er and Yuan'er?" Li Mengshi looked at Yun Zirao with her head down and didn't speak, feeling that something was wrong, according to how she got along with Yun Zirao these days, Li Mengshi felt that Yun Zirao should be very happy about such a happy event, how could it ......, Yun Zirao was abnormal, which made Li Mengshi's heart a little uneasy.
After all, since Yun Zirao arrived at the Li family, this move is for the sake of the Li family, and unconsciously, the Li family is used to asking Yun Zirao about some things, whether it is an idea or an opinion, after asking Yun Zirao, I always feel more relieved.
Maybe this is a kind of dependence psychology, but for the Li family who was once injured, how precious this dependence is, it is incomprehensible to others!
"Uncle, my cousin's marriage, I think it's best to let my cousin decide for himself, the matter between him and Miss Lu, everyone knows that my cousin is deeply hurt, and in the matter of love, he is somewhat ...... In addition, the Li family is gradually getting better now, and my cousin is focused on the fried chicken restaurant and the hot pot restaurant, I am afraid that he has no intention of ...... "Yun Zirao's noodles are difficult, and there is a little consideration between words, not only for fear of making Li Meng's worried, but also afraid of making Mrs. Meng unhappy."
"Zirao is right, your cousin is ...... Alas......" Li Mengshi sighed, turned his head to look at Mrs. Meng, who also looked sad, "I'll explore Hua'er's tone another day, and now Hua'er is finally willing to go out of the house, I'm afraid of ...... when I'm in a hurry."
"What the eldest sister said is that I'm in a hurry, Hua'er's child is not easy, I know that Yuan'er is not in a hurry just now, not in a hurry!" Mrs. Meng knows Li Hua's situation very well in her heart, and she doesn't want to say much, after all, she also hopes that Meng Yuan can be happy, if Meng Yuan and Li Hua get married, life is not good, this is not what she wants to see!
Yun Zirao breathed a sigh of relief, her thoughts were chaotic, she went to Uncle Wu's house with Yi Qingfeng in Yueshan Village before, and what she said to Yi Qingfeng on the way back, I don't know if Yi Qingfeng still remembers, it seems that she had better talk to Jin Aotian about it, this common-sense problem is better popularized, so as not to cause tragedy to happen again.
This time it was about her close relatives, and she couldn't ignore it anymore!
The lively and cheerful reunion of the Chinese New Year's Eve, in the Li family, the Meng family and the laughter of everyone in the courtyard, on the Chinese New Year's Eve, the self-service hot pot once again let everyone eat a refreshing meal, in addition to dumplings, a variety of dishes, rich and colorful.
"Mother, my uncle said to bring it up and set off fireworks, will you go?" The meat bun was holding something similar to fireworks in his hand, dressed as a big red lucky boy, shuttling through the crowd, and his smiling face made Yun Zirao's heart warm.
"If your mother doesn't go, you should be careful with the meat buns, and pay attention to your eyes and hands."
"Got it, mother!" The meat bun took the hand of Li Hua, who came over, and ran to the garden of Loei Province.
Jin Aotian stepped forward to hold Yun Zirao's hand, and mysteriously muttered in Yun Zirao's ear, "Rao'er, follow me!" ā
"Huh?!" Before Yun Zirao could react, she was pulled by Jin Aotian to Haitang Garden.
Tonight's Begonia Garden, very different, all four eaves are hung with red lanterns, at this moment the largest begonia tree in the middle of the Begonia Garden is full of ribbons, the wind blows gently, the ribbons flutter, like the shawl of the fairy above the nine heavens.
A burst of rich floral fragrance came from under the begonia tree, and when I got closer, it turned out to be a pot of peonies competing to open, with different colors and thousands of postures, and it was beautiful.
"This ......"
"Rao'er, there's more!" Jin Aotian gently slapped his palm twice, a figure flew over the branch of the begonia tree, the branches shook, and countless colorful butterflies flew out, colorful butterflies flapped their wings, flying on the peony flowers, Jin Aotian pulled Yun Zirao into the peony basin circle, the colorful butterflies noticed the arrival, and flew up one after another, or landed on the shoulders of the two people, or fell on the placket of the two people, and even a few bold ones, stayed in the palm of Yun Zirao's hand.
"It's so beautiful, Jin Aotian, did you arrange this?"
"Rao'er, will you marry me?" When Jin Aotian heard Yun Zirao's question, he took out the phoenix ring that he had personally drawn from his arms, and the skilled craftsmen of the palace bureau rushed to make it in a few days, knelt on one knee, with a pious and strict face, and doting eyes, kneeling in front of his most beloved "princess", swearing love!
The ingenious phoenix ring is carved with complex patterns, but Yun Zirao can see it very clearly, the pattern on the ring is a phoenix with wings ready to fly, looking up at the head, nine phoenix tails, the lines are tight, and the phoenix eyes are inlaid with a blood-red ruby, which is folded and shining under the light everywhere, reflecting the light.
"Jin Aotian ......"
"Mother, promise Daddy!" The meat bun was held in Li Hua's arms, and at some point, the people from the Li family gathered in Haitang Garden, Yun Zirao was speechless with excitement, the crystal in her eyes slipped unconsciously, turned her head to look at the happy meat bun, and nodded lightly at Jin Aotian.
Li Peng, Meng Huai and Hua Xiaoyao all smiled and nodded, their eyes were very satisfied with Jin Aotian's actions, especially Li Peng, after he listened to Li Tingxuan's "lie", he had always felt guilty about Yun Zirao in his heart, in his heart, when a woman gets married, she should be beautiful and beautiful, with red makeup, although he didn't know what was between Yun Zirao and Jin Aotian, but when he heard the words of secret marriage, Li Peng's heart ached.
Hua Xiaoyao touched his beard, looked at Jin Aotian, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, he could kneel on the ground and propose, such an amazing move, it was impossible to change to the man next to him.
Meng Huai's eyes widened even more, he admired Jin Aotian in his heart, and he also had a little unspeakable displeasure, after all, the machismo in his bones still lingered.
Yi Qingfeng and Feng Xiaochen only saw Yun Zirao nodding and left, two people who had never interacted with each other actually made an appointment to drink together, and Ouyang Chenfeng squinted at the pair of beautiful people in the peony, and his heart couldn't stop dripping blood.
It's all white flowers, more than 30 pots of rare peonies, which were urged to open in the greenhouse, and 999 colorful butterflies were caught from the hot spring villa in Wumeng Mountain, Tuguo, which ......
"Uncle, my mother agreed to my father's marriage proposal, will I be able to have a sister soon?" āā
