080-for-tat
At this time, after the song was finished, Rouge got up and saluted, and then gently withdrew.
Li Minde suddenly stood up and said, "Third sister, I forgot my cloak and want to go out to get it." β
The cloak was obviously placed on the carriage, how could it be forgotten? Li Weiyang wanted to know, who is this rouge and why did he attract Li Minde's attention?
It's just that in front of the two spirits, she didn't show anything unusual, but smiled: "Go ahead." β
The ninth princess jumped up: "I'll go with you!" β
Who knew that the next moment, she screamed, and Li Weiyang said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, princess, I was careless." β
Li Weiyang actually spilled the teacup in his hand on the beautiful skirt of the ninth princess.
The Ninth Princess pursed her lips, as if she could hang an oil bottle: "You are really clumsy!" She obviously didn't realize that Li Weiyang didn't want her to go with her, so she did it on purpose.
The ninth princess was taken to another room to change clothes, and in addition to the next person, there were only three people with different expressions left in the room.
Tuoba Zhen suddenly laughed and said, "The three of us seem to be particularly fateful. β
It's fate, it's still fate. Li Weiyang smiled coldly, turned his head to look at the river, and then suddenly asked, "What is that?" β
Tuoba Yu followed her eyes and looked over: "Oh, that's the Yufeng Tower, built on an island in the middle of the river, and it looks very beautiful at night." If you're interested, you can go to the island another day. β
Li Weiyang smiled slightly and said thoughtfully: "This is a good place. In the words, there is another layer of meaning.
Tuoba Zhen's eyes flickered, and he seemed to be slightly shocked, but he said lightly: "What do you mean by this?" β
Li Weiyang glanced at him and said with a smile: "This place is good because of the terrain. This river is formed by the intersection of Linshan River and Amber Lake, if you can dig a long canal at the lowest part of the watershed, you can connect the two major river basins of the Luojiang River and the Lijiang River, and it is also navigable and irrigated, you say, is this a good place? β
Tuoba Zhen's face changed suddenly, he didn't know how Li Weiyang knew, but this was indeed his original idea, but he hadn't had time to implement it yet, once it was really implemented, then he could completely control the transportation of the two rivers basin in his hands, and his financial resources would be greatly enhanced, far exceeding Tuoba Yu and others. It's just that he didn't think of a way not to alarm others to get this place, but he definitely couldn't let others take the lead, and after being shocked, he immediately said: "If this idea can be implemented, then why hasn't it been done for thousands of years?" Don't be whimsical, it's just nonsense. β
Li Weiyang smiled slightly: "Is it whimsical, His Royal Highness understands best." In ancient times, there was a famous Xianyuan Yan, which divided the Lujiang River into inner and outer rivers, controlled the amount of irrigation water, and still had the role of flood control, transportation and irrigation, as for the huge stone beam of the span of the Luzhou Jiangdong Bridge, it was even more breathtaking, since these projects that could not have been completed by manpower have been saved, what is incredible! β
Takubama always had a smile on his face, but now he couldn't smile.
He suddenly felt cold.
Li Weiyang looked at him as if he knew what he was thinking, and even knew his every step, and gave that kind of look, as if he had been chilled.
Tuoba Yu keenly sensed that the atmosphere between the two of them was wrong, and was about to say something, when someone suddenly said outside: "The ninth princess said that she had a stomachache and ran out of the window!" β
This naughty girl! Tuoba Yu didn't have time to think of anything else, so he quickly stood up and said, "The county lord will sit down for a while, and I'll go out and look for it." β
Li Weiyang smiled and said, "Your Highness, the Ninth Princess must have gone to the carriage to find my third brother." β
Tuoba Yu hesitated, he wasn't worried about what Tuoba would do, after all, this restaurant was his own place, Tuoba really didn't have the courage to look for trouble here, but - left Li Weiyang here, is it really good? While thinking, he whispered to the guards outside the door: "Pay attention to the movement in the house!" β
Then, Tuoba Yu quickly went downstairs. For a while, there were only two people left in the room, Tuoba Zhen and Li Weiyang, Li Weiyang stood up, she was not interested in sitting at the same table with such people.
Tuoba Zhen suddenly said, "County Lord, have you ever heard a story?" β
Li Weiyang turned his face, raised his eyebrows, and Tuoba Zhen poured himself a glass of wine: "There was a very strong monarch in the previous dynasty, who personally sent troops to attack southern Xinjiang, but unfortunately he failed repeatedly, and the rear was defeated, and countless people persuaded him to withdraw the army, but he insisted on refusing, just wandering outside the military tent, and then left the word chicken ribs on the ground, and others were puzzled. Only one smart man listened, immediately went back to pack up, others asked him why he wanted to go, he said that the emperor has already said, chicken ribs are tasteless, abandon the pity of the meaning, His Majesty XiΓ is at the time of retirement has sprouted, but still undecided, will definitely retire in the future, so make plans early. When the others heard this, they felt justified and prepared to withdraw. When the emperor found out about this situation, he was amazed, "Speaking of this, Tuoba Zhen said: "What do you think the emperor will do with that smart man?" β
Li Weiyang smiled and said: "I don't know what that monarch will do, but I know that if you change to the Third Highness, you will definitely kill anyone who can guess your thoughts." β
Tuoba Zhen didn't blink his eyes: "That's right, when the two armies are fighting, the commander has not yet given orders, smart people are smart, affect the morale of the army, and discourage them. Therefore, it is better for a person not to be too smart, even if she is really that smart, she should not show this kind of cleverness in front of others, if it causes death, it is too unworthy. β
Li Weiyang sneered: "I'm sorry, I don't have time to listen to His Highness's story here. β
Tuoba Zhen drank a glass of wine, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Li Weiyang, I'm not talking about stories, but about the history that really happened, and history is a strange thing, it won't be repeated in many years, assuming that you are that smart person, do you think I will kill you?" β
At this moment, Li Weiyang really saw the killing intent in Tuoba Zhen's eyes.
Of course, Tuoba Zhen will jump to his feet in a hurry, because the plan to open the channel is what he will do in the future, but now that the Seventh Prince knows in advance, he will definitely not be able to do it. Li Weiyang knew what a blow she did to Tuoba, but she just did it, and she did it in front of him, just to make him mad.
The current Li Weiyang has a very strong feeling of pulling the tiger's whiskers and has a great sense of accomplishment. Of course, this is also an extremely dangerous thing, and if you don't get it right, you will be crushed.
Li Weiyang smiled slightly, there seemed to be a flame dancing in her clear eyes, she suddenly took two steps forward, put her hands on the table, looked at Tuoba Zhen face to face, and said softly: "Third Highness, I advise you not to act rashly, whether it is to kill me or hurt the people around me, otherwise, you will definitely regret your decision." β
Tuoba Zhen's voice was almost frozen into icicles: "Li Weiyang! You really don't care about anything?! β
Li Weiyang curled his lips and said: "Wrong, I care a lot, especially my own life, so don't scare me, Your Royal Highness, I don't need to be scared, if you accidentally leak some things that shouldn't be said, I'm afraid that Your Royal Highness will give me this cheap life to be buried!" With that, she let go and turned to leave.
Tuoba Zhen couldn't believe it at all, he didn't believe that Li Weiyang would know so many things, he only thought that the other party was threatening him and intimidating him, and even he felt that Li Weiyang was just a little clever to guess his plan about this river, so he didn't put this threat in his eyes, but blocked Li Weiyang in front of the door with an arrow step, blocking Li Weiyang from leaving the only exit: "Li Weiyang!" You stop! β
Tuoba Zhen looked at Li Weiyang intently, as if he wanted to tear her whole person apart, with strong resentment. Bai Zhi in the room was stunned all of a sudden, she was far away, and she couldn't hear what Miss and Tuoba Zhen said, but seeing the gaffe of the Third Highness, her heart swelled with infinite fear. And Zhao Yue on the side, his hand was already on the long sword.
Li Weiyang stared at him coldly, for some reason, her kind of eyes made it difficult for Tuoba to breathe for a moment.
Tuoba Zhen gritted his teeth: "Without my permission, you dare to go?!" β
Li Weiyang smiled, stretched out his slender fingers, and brushed away the little wine stain on Tuoba Zhen's chest: "Third Highness, you take your Yangguan Road, I cross my single-plank bridge, remember to stay away from me, don't follow me like a pug all day long, I hate you very much, from the first time I saw you, remember!" After saying that, she patted Takubazhen on the shoulder as if very gently, and then spared him in a dashing manner, and threw it away like a stinky rag.
Tuoba Zhen was left in place, a cold wind blew, he only felt cold from head to toe, just now, he clearly saw a bone-chilling chill in Li Weiyang's eyes, that kind of breath, as if it did not belong to a living person, as if it was ...... She is a ghost who climbed up from the eighteenth floor of hell and demanded his life!
Walking through a door, Li Weiyang didn't go downstairs, suddenly pushed open the door of the elegant seat next to him, and said with a smile: "Your Highness Seven, does it feel good to eavesdrop?" β
The person who was supposed to go to find the Ninth Princess sat for a long time, with a guiltless smile on his face, and raised his glass: "The county lord is so daring!" β
Li Weiyang sneered, turned his head and said, "Zhao Yue, watching outside, if there are any idle people waiting to come in, don't be killed!" β
"Yes." Zhao Yue and Bai Zhi retreated together.
There were only two people left in the room, Li Weiyang and Tuoba Yu.
Tuoba Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What, the county lord guessed that I was next door early in the morning?" β
Li Weiyang sneered: "If the princess is lost, there will naturally be guards to find her, since you know that Tuoba is really uneasy and kind, naturally you won't let me be alone with him, right?" β
Tuoba Yu smiled: "The county lord still knows me very well. β
"It's a pity that I still misread you!" Li Weiyang said coldly, "I thought that after the last incident, even if we couldn't trust each other, at least we were allies, but you were doing this kind of thing!" β
Tuoba Yu's cold face flushed, but he had to admit that he couldn't fully trust Li Weiyang, so he could only say, "I didn't mean that." β
Li Weiyang suppressed this breath in his heart, in fact, Tuoba Yu had every reason not to believe her, you must know that the prince's struggle is sinister, if Li Weiyang is a supporter of Tuoba Zhen, deliberately make the appearance of falling to Tuoba Yu, and then sell good to him through the last incident to gain trust, it is not impossible! has been a mortal enemy for life, and Li Weiyang knows that Tuoba Yu is not so gullible.
Therefore, she eased her displeasure and said in a deep voice: "I know that it is not so simple to get His Highness to trust me, so I have prepared a lot of things to win His Highness's trust as evidence. β
"For example?" Tuoba Yu suddenly became interested in what she said.
"The third prince is fraternal and respectful to the emperor on the surface, but in fact his ambition has long been there. Not only has he colluded with officials in the DPRK and China, but he has even had dealings with the rivers and lakes. In particular, there are many capable people in his house, and the most powerful of them is known as having four generals, three sages and two daughters. The four generals are Li Jing, Mu Yang, Zhou Heng, and Lu Lu, the four of them are proficient in the way of using soldiers, especially Li Jing, thirteen years ago, in the name of Li Ming, in the battle with southern Xinjiang, killed five hundred and six people in a row, called the 'Outer Heavenly Dragon' in the army, he once led thousands of troops and horses, and was majestic, but eight years ago because of a drunken delay in the military aircraft, he was expelled from the barracks. Later, Tuoba Zhen helped him forge his identity to participate in the martial arts, and successfully entered the military department, and now the military department joins the army. Mu Yang was ostensibly a weak scholar, and received an idle position in the Yushitai, helping His Majesty XiΓ draft documents and sing praises of virtue, but as early as the age of sixteen, this person entered the Cao Gang as the deputy gang leader in the name of Mu Yicheng. Zhou Heng was originally a son of a family, but when he was the first emperor, his whole family was framed, and all one hundred and nine mouths were beheaded, he escaped because he was just born, and then he grew up in the wilderness, eating the wolf's heart and the tiger as a companion, and was later subdued by Tuoba Zhen, and tried every means to forge his identity and send it to the forbidden army, and now he has become the deputy commander of the northern branch of the forbidden army. Lu Lu is a street hooligan, but he has extraordinary communication skills, has a wide range of contacts, plus is ruthless and flattering, he is now arranged in the spy camp, specializing in assassination. β
Li Weiyang smiled and came one by one. Tuoba Yu took a deep breath and put his hands behind his back, only for a moment, then put them to the side of his legs, and then tugged them into his sleeves. Because, even he doesn't know those things.
There are some things in the world that no one in the world can know except Tuoba Zhen.
Li Weiyang knew it clearly, and she continued to say: "The three sages are Gao Cheng, Jing Neng, and Sun Song, Gao Cheng is good at strategy, and he is currently a staff member of the Prince's Mansion; Jing Neng is good at imperial arts, and is currently the young master of the crown prince; Sun Song's three-inch incorruptible tongue dares to be the first in the world, at present, it seems that he is just a flower Tai Sui, but at the critical moment, his three-inch incorruptible tongue can lobby the world's subjects for his master and make great contributions. As for the two daughters, one has become His Majesty's new favorite, and the other is ...... Now the mansion of the five princes ......"
Tuoba Yu stood up, his face no longer in shock: "Do you know what you're talking about?" β
Li Weiyang smiled: "I know you don't believe that Tuoba really has such power, but he has been doing things for himself over the years with the help of the prince's financial resources and the queen's power, as well as Concubine Wuxian's background, and his acting skills are too good, and the queen's mother and son have really been coaxed by him for so many years." β
Tuoba Yu had a strong premonition in his heart, and he knew that everything she said was true, because these things were not fabricated out of thin air at all. But he felt that she was a bit alarmist, that every prince had a group of followers, that there were hidden stakes planted in other people's houses, and that he didn't think it would be so terrible.
Li Weiyang knew that he wouldn't believe it, nor would he understand how terrible this group of people was, so she said slowly: "These people are just the tip of the iceberg. He buys what he can, and persuades what he can't, and kills if he can't. I know that every prince has his own power and secret stakes, which can be bought by money, but people's hearts are not something that can be measured by money. I dare say that no one has such good patience and perseverance as him, because not everyone loves money, if you meet someone who doesn't love money, can you be like him and go seven days and seven nights without sleeping to collect other people's beloved things and send them to him? In order to recruit a person, can you not hesitate to sweep the graves of relatives who can't be sacrificed for that person every year? Can you match those reckless brothers? In order to achieve the goal, he can ignore nothing, be afraid of nothing, Seventh Highness, you can't do this, this is because you are from too good background, without your command, there are a large number of people who come to help you one after another, but can they be loyal to you and loyal to death? Therefore, at this point, you cannot compare with him, whether it is you, the crown prince, or the fifth prince. β
Tuoba Yu only felt a hint of coldness, and rushed up from his spine. He originally only thought that Tuoba was really in the process of helping the prince and gradually started to think about it, who knew that he had already premeditated, but he was just treating the prince and the queen as pawns, no wonder, no wonder he could pretend to be extremely filial in front of the queen, and extremely obedient to the prince, it turned out that he was a wolf who couldn't be raised.
Tuoba Yu sat quietly for a while before he said, "I believe you, but I want to know, how many people know about this matter?" β
Li Weiyang smiled and said, "Except for the Third Highness who just slammed the door in anger and walked away, there are only you and me left." β
Some of these people have not yet played their due role, but at the critical moment, many inconspicuous figures will become the key to Tuoba Zhen's seizure of the throne.
Tuoba Yu took a long breath and said, "Will you sue anyone else?" β
Li Weiyang understood what he meant, so she shook her head: "No fourth person will know about this matter." β
Tuoba Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he didn't know how Li Weiyang knew about this, but everyone has their own secrets, as long as what she said was true, what did it matter how she knew, and most importantly, she couldn't tell anyone else about these chips.
Afterwards, he couldn't help but sigh: "In addition to this restaurant, I also have eighteen places to listen to the news, over the years, the information in my hands is innumerable and detailed, but from what you said, there are seventy volumes of files about Tuoba Zhen in my database, of which no more than two volumes are reliable, and the other files are all wrong clues deliberately laid by Tuoba Zhen. This person's scheming is really terrible. β
Li Weiyang smiled, just in terms of vision and judgment, Tuoba Yu may not lose to anyone, but when it comes to the patience of collecting information and the carefulness of arrangement, it is not as good as Tuoba Zhen. This is not surprising, ordinary people will not look down on a prince who is not a threat, including Tuoba Yu, he spent too much effort on others, completely ignoring Tuoba Zhen, but Tuoba Zhen is the opposite, he refuses to let go of any subsection, Tuoba Yu is careful, the Luo Guo Mansion has a big business, and there are always traces to follow.
"There are always people in this world who make you negligent, because they are too cunning and vicious, and they always hide in the shadows like poisonous snakes, biting you when you are not paying attention. But as long as you hold his seven inches, you don't have to be afraid. β
Tuoba Yu said: "I know all these people, but I only regard them as irrelevant characters, and even some people I can make friends." I made a big mistake, thanks to your reminder, this favor, I remember, he day you have any need, I should do my best. His expression was clear, as if he had said something insignificant.
But Li Weiyang looked at those stunning eyes, but knew what an important promise this was, she was silent for a moment, and said with a slight smile: "Thank you." β
"What you said to the third brother today," the sharp light in his eyes gradually softened, and he said slowly, "not to provoke him, but to win my trust." β
Li Weiyang just smiled, not sure or denial, after a long time, she looked at him again, only to find that he was staring at her quietly, and there seemed to be a soft light hidden in the depths of his eyes.
At some point, my interest in her turned into a strange affection. Tuoba Yu looked at her deeply and sighed: "You, ......" He wanted to say something more, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the rain outside, and couldn't help but stop, "I'll send you to the car." β
When I went out, the weather was still good, but now it was raining heavily, and the pedestrians who were enjoying the lights on the street avoided one after another, Li Weiyang stood at the door of the restaurant, and Bai Zhi said: "Miss, there is rain gear in the car, and the slave maid will go and get it." β
"Here it is." In Tuoba Yu's hand, he carried an umbrella that he had just ordered someone to take out.
Bai Zhi was about to go up to pick it up immediately, Tuoba Yu smiled and avoided it: "I'll come." β
The rain on the umbrella slid down against his cheeks, Tuoba Yu lowered his head, and his voice mixed with the falling rain drifted into Li Weiyang's ears: "The county lord can sleep peacefully after he goes back." β
His side face looked handsome in the rain, Li Weiyang smiled and said, "I hope so." β
Li Minde was waiting in front of the carriage, he had been out for an hour, but he never went back, Li Weiyang did not ask him a word, and got into the carriage.
Tuoba Yu smiled at Li Minde, but Minde showed a cold smile and then quickly got into the carriage.
The carriage drove towards Li's house, Li Weiyang saw through the curtain of the carriage that the tall figure was still in the rain, for some reason, there was no umbrella, it seemed to be looking in the direction of the carriage, and was distracted.
Li Weiyang paused, lowered the curtain, and Li Minde behind him said, "Third sister-"
Li Weiyang turned his head and looked at him: "What's wrong?" β
"Don't you ask me where I just went?"
Li Weiyang raised his hand and gently brushed away the thin rain on his shoulder, and said, "Go see that rouge?" β
Li Minde was stunned and could hardly say a word.
Li Weiyang smiled and said, "You didn't eat anything at the banquet just now, I ordered someone to bring some wine and food to the car, Bai Zhi." β
She called Bai Zhi's name, Bai Zhi immediately understood, and took out the dishes in the rosewood snack box one by one, Li Weiyang glanced at Li Minde's pale face and said: "It's raining at night, it's a little cold, why don't you put on a piece of clothing when you go out, forget it, take a sip of osmanthus stuffed, it's cold." β
Li Minde was stunned, Li Weiyang looked at him, this young man has a well-defined facial contour, and his facial features are mixed with the softness of a stunning beauty and the fortitude of a man. Her eyes smiled: "Why don't you come over quickly?!" β
Li Minde went over, but he didn't move with chopsticks.
"What are you thinking?" She flicked her fingers, and Li Minde felt a pain on her forehead, covering her forehead and whispering.
"Distracted again...... Looks like you're going to me! β
"I didn'tβ" He suddenly began to defend himself.
Li Weiyang suddenly smiled, although the smile was shallow and fleeting, it still made him dumbfounded.
"Don't say anything sorry for not being able to tell me the truth, though I hate to be ......foolish," she sighed, "Anyway, you only need to know one thing, and I will never blame you, even if you don't tell me the truth......"
Li Minde's pupils inadvertently shrank slightly, and a moving light flashed at the bottom of his eyes, but then he was shrouded in gloom.
Li Weiyang saw the expression in his eyes clearly, and couldn't help but find that her heart was surging with distress at that moment, but at the same time, she also felt strange, and she couldn't help but feel depressed. Has this teenager who has relied on her finally grown up? The feeling he gave her now was really getting harder and harder to fathom.
However, the next moment, Li Minde suddenly rested his head on her shoulder.
"What's wrong?" Li Weiyang was surprised.
Li Minde didn't speak, leaned his head on her shoulder and rubbed it, his eyes were sour, tears welled up, and his heart knotted at the thought that he was going to leave her in the end.
"Since you said that you have grown up, you will naturally have secrets, I don't ask you, you should be happy, which shows that I trust you." Li Weiyang pulled him up, stuffed the chopsticks back into his hand, and personally put a piece of sweet and sour sea bass into his mouth, "Let's eat." β
The degree of osmanthus brewed is not high, and it is sweet, Li Weiyang likes it very much, there are outsiders at the banquet just now, she is not good to drink, and now with Li Minde, she poured a cup and tasted it carefully. Drinking this osmanthus brew made her feel warm and warm all over her body.
Li Weiyang looked at the lingering rain outside the window, thinking of Tuoba Zhen's annoyed and angry appearance just now, he couldn't help but sneer, raised his wine glass and drank it all.
Li Minde stopped and turned his head to look at her.
"Third sister?" He had never seen her drink, still with such an expression, at a time like this.
Li Weiyang was stunned for a moment, reacted, and said with a smile: "I won't get drunk, don't worry, just drink a small glass." β
Li Minde glanced at her cup: "Haven't you already drunk three cups?" β
Li Minde took the cup in her hand and was about to put it down, but she quickly snatched her cup and drank it all again.
"Third sister?!"
"Huh?" Li Weiyang smiled, a strand of black hair curling across her crystal clear face. Under the candlelight on the carriage, her eyes were like smoke, tactful and light, and her expression was a hint of helplessness, "How did you become so talkative, butler!" β
Li Minde hurriedly lowered his head and saw her white fingertips holding a wine glass, the color of the wine was as bright as broken jade, but it was still stabbing his eyes brightly.
Li Weiyang seemed to be drunk, and fell limply on the seat, leaning right on top of him.
The rich fragrance of osmanthus flowers, mixed with the fragrance of her body, became a strange smell in the carriage, itching from the wings of his nose to his limbs and the bottom of his heart.
Suddenly, I wanted to rely on it all the time, but a voice reminded him all the time in his mind, don't covet, don't sink into this warmth...... Your savings will affect her, and even bring her countless dangers, this is not the place you should be, and you cannot afford to lose her completely.
Li Minde lowered his head, there was also a osmanthus brew in front of him, but he suddenly stretched out his hand, took the glass cup that Li Weiyang had just used, and poured a cup into his stomach, but he didn't know why the taste was completely different from what he drank before.
Zhao Yue was guarding outside the carriage, while Bai Zhi in the carriage picked the wick intently, but in fact, a strange feeling surged in her heart. The third young master, it seems to be different from before, originally he was a smart and innocent young man, but now when he is silent, he doesn't dare to talk to him, and he always feels that the strength and nobility that he slowly reveals in his bones are not there before. The corners of the eyebrows and eyes float with a faint and cold feeling that only adults can have. Will the death of the third lady really have such a big impact on him?
"Minde?" Li Weiyang seemed to be really drunk, tilted his head and screamed as if he didn't know him, his hand had already come up, and pinched his cheeks.
"Ahh
"To laugh, I love to see you laugh!" She reverted to a fierce appearance.
Looking at his flushed cheeks and spring-like eyes, Li Weiyang couldn't help but pinch hard with his fingers.
"Third sister, you're really drunk!" It's just like a different person! Li Minde was speechless, and his face was pinched into a bun.
Li Weiyang muttered: "Wine can forget your worries and relieve your sorrows, Minde, you should also drink a little, otherwise you will become old-fashioned at a young age, and it is terrible to grow up!" β
She only felt that the whole world was shaking, and she tried to open her eyes to look, only to see that Li Minde's face was completely red like a tomato. She let go, moved her body, and fell asleep at a more comfortable angle in her seat.
Li Minde looked at her sleeping face, suddenly laughed, and said in a low voice: "It's okay like this, as long as you're happy, it's okay." β
Tonight, he felt that Li Weiyang was in a particularly bad mood, although he didn't know why, but if he could make her laugh, he would do anything willingly.
Early the next morning, Li Weiyang was invited by the old lady to the Lotus Fragrance Courtyard.
People can't do everything smoothly at any time, even if Li Weiyang's organs are at ease, there are countless troubles coming to the door. When he saw the eldest lady sitting in the hall with her sick body strong, Li Weiyang smiled very respectfully: "Mother is also here, is she feeling better?" β
The eldest lady smiled and said: "After taking the doctor's medicine, it is not good, alas, my body and bones have always been weak, which is inevitable." β
Li Weiyang is a little strange, the eldest lady has always refused to show weakness in front of others, how could she run out with a sallow face?
In fact, last evening, Duchess Jiang sent someone to invite Li Xiaoran to talk about it, it was originally the same, it was a natural thing for the mother-in-law to let her son-in-law go over, and when the time comes, with the face of the Duchess Guo, Li Changle will be able to come back, but unfortunately, Li Xiaoran actually refused on the pretext of being busy with affairs. This incident made the eldest lady realize that Li Xiaoran was no longer the man who was inferior in front of the Jiang family ten years ago, maybe earlier, his resentment towards the Jiang family was buried in his heart, and it gradually broke out at this time.
In this way, she had to think of something else. So, even though she was about to fall down when she walked, she still managed to come.
"Now there are a lot of things in the house, I am upset, I have taken a lot of medicine, but it is useless," the eldest lady got straight to the point, and talked to the old lady about her illness, "I'm afraid it will take a long time to recuperate......"
When the second lady heard this, she immediately became energetic: "If the sister-in-law can't take care of the family, the younger brother and sister can share it for you......"
The second lady wants the power of the housekeeper, the eldest lady's face remained unchanged, and she said calmly: "I don't need it for the time being, there are still people who can be used under my hands, but the old lady is here to do her filial piety, and she wants her younger brothers and sisters to take care of it......"
The second lady's face is not good-looking, she doesn't want to hand over her power, and she still expects to throw all the filial piety to her mother-in-law, the eldest lady is really good at stealing and playing tricks.
The old lady twisted the Buddhist beads in her hand, as if she had not heard anything.
The eldest lady also remembered and asked Li Weiyang, "Will the lamp look good yesterday?" β
"Naturally, it's good-looking, but it's a pity that my mother is not in good health and can't go along." Li Weiyang's smile was very calm.
The eldest lady couldn't help sighing, "Yes, I used to take your sisters to see the lantern festival every year during the Lantern Festival, your eldest sister likes the lotus lantern the most, and she is reluctant to let go when she sees it......
She glanced at the old lady, but the other party didn't even lift her eyelids.
The eldest lady immediately felt a little isolated, I don't know when, in this family, no one paid attention to what she said, perhaps, they all deliberately ignored her.
In the past few months, Li Weiyang has been in the limelight in the Li Mansion, and the eldest lady is hiding in the room but is not idle, every time she hears that someone has come to invite the county lord to a banquet, she is angry and dies, but in just three months, she is so tired that she has a few more stars of gray hair on her sideburns, and she looks more and more old.
The eldest lady took out a Buddhist scripture from her sleeve and spread it out to show the old lady: "That kid is stupid, I heard that the blood scripture is pious, and he really pricked his finger and copied a copy of the Lotus Sutra for the old lady......"
The old lady didn't look at it, she got up early today, her eyelids were already closed, and she couldn't help interrupting, "What the hell are you doing here today......
The eldest lady's face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Old lady, Changle sent a letter saying that she had already repented, and begged the old lady to open the net and let her come back, I am not in good health, and I just need someone to serve me, can you bear to see me sick, and there is no one to serve the medicinal soup on the side of the bed?" As she spoke, she lowered her head and wiped her tears.
Li Weiyang looked at the eldest lady's face and couldn't help sneering, there are less than twenty or thirty girls in the Furui Courtyard, will the eldest lady not have someone who serves tea and water, and doesn't want to take this opportunity to get Li Changle back.
The old lady frowned: "I thought about letting her go, I've only been here for three months, can't I sit still?" β
The eldest lady said bitterly: "She has been pampered since she was a child, where has she suffered this hardship, the old lady is kind, let her come back, there are many people around me to serve." β
The second lady said coldly: "What did the sister-in-law say, you are not this daughter, the third miss, the fourth miss, and the fifth miss, can't they all take care of you?" You keep saying that you will treat the concubines as your own, and since you are looking for people who are sick, why don't you let them come? β
The second lady has always liked to demolish the eldest lady, and it is not surprising to put forward this opinion.
The eldest lady smiled reluctantly and said, "I'm afraid I've wronged these children." β
The fourth aunt hurriedly said: "Not aggrieved, not aggrieved, it is their duty to be filial piety in the lady's house." As she spoke, she glanced at Li Weiyang, "I just don't know how the county lord isβ"
Of course Li Weiyang will not refuse, she goes to the eldest lady's room every day to sit, the other party lives at least ten years less, and this is not something that can be refused, the mother-in-law is sick, and the daughter of the concubine goes to fulfill her filial piety, and there is nothing that cannot be said, although it is suddenly a little ......
A trace of something flashed in the eldest lady's eyes, and her mouth moved, as if she was about to open her mouth to refuse, but after all, she said, "What does the old lady mean?" β
The reasonable request of the old lady will naturally agree, so she nodded and waved her hand like a fly: "Okay, so be it." β
On the way back, Li Weiyang seemed very silent. Back in her yard, she took a book to her rocking chair to read.
Bai Zhi saw that she had something on her mind, and she didn't dare to stay away, so she held a flower bandage and accompanied her.
For a long time, Li Weiyang didn't say a word, and he didn't turn a page of the book.
An hour later, she suddenly put down the book, "Bai Zhi," there was a rare pause in her tone.
"Why would the eldest lady allow me to enter her room to serve the sick?" Li Weiyang seemed to be talking to herself, and as if she was talking to Bai Zhi, her fingers unconsciously groped for the pages, rolled them up little by little, and slowly put them down, which showed that her mind was also turning rapidly.
"I'm afraid the eldest lady is not happy, she doesn't like to see the young lady, the young lady went to see her that day, and the slave maid heard that she smashed a lot of things when she turned back." Bai Zhi whispered.
Li Weiyang replied, and then he was silent again. If the eldest lady wants to get rid of her, she doesn't have to go to such great lengths, if not, what is the idea?
