The Duchess achieved her goal and left with her daughter-in-law with a smile on her face, leaving the rest with different faces. The old lady stared at Li Changle for a while, and then sneered, and said, "What are you doing stupidly, let's disperse!" ”

Everyone retreated one after another, Li Weiyang and Li Changle walked out one after the other, Li Changle said goodbye to her as usual and said, "Third sister go slowly." ”

Rao is a cheeky person like Li Weiyang, and he can't help but feel a little flattered, after the two turned their faces, the eldest sister has never been so kind to her, so she just smiled faintly and turned to leave.

Li Changle looked at the other party's back, revealing a thoughtful expression, and waited until Li Weiyang completely disappeared into the corridor, her eyes still did not take her eyes off.

Since the morning, the entire Li family has fallen into a burst of low pressure, Li Xiaoran learned about the Jiang family's semi-forced sending of Li Changle back one step earlier than the old lady, of course he didn't want to see this embarrassing daughter again, but the things in the back house are also related to the game above the court, he retreated this step, naturally because the Jiang family gave him greater benefits, but these, how can he explain it to his mother and family? However, he didn't expect that this low pressure in the house lasted until dinner, and finally broke out.

Because the ninth aunt and the seventh aunt have to take care of the children, the old lady specially allowed them not to serve when eating, and the fourth and sixth aunts have been fighting with each other like black-eyed chickens recently. So at dinner, it was Mother Luo who served the old lady with vegetables, and it was the girls who served them, and she didn't hear a trace of coughing on the table from beginning to end, and it was as quiet as if no one was there.

Li Xiaoran glanced at Li Changxiao, who was eating with his head down, and coughed softly, Li Changxiao raised his head suddenly, and saw his father staring at him, and suddenly panicked, thinking of what he had told, he hesitated and turned his head and said: "Old lady, today is the fifteenth, the night of the full moon, the ...... that should have been reunited."

The old lady frowned, as if surprised: "If you have anything to say, don't babble." ”

Li Changxiao quietly glanced at Li Weiyang, but saw that the other party's eyebrows were quiet, as if he didn't understand what he meant at all, and couldn't help but be ruthless, and said: "Everyone is here, but the eldest sister is missing, she is lonely, blame the pitiful, ask the old lady for grace-"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. The second lady sneered: "The fourth lady is really kind-hearted, the eldest lady made a mistake, the old lady can let her come back is already a blessing, you still want her to eat at the table with us, this is really an inch!" ”

Li Changru also smiled on the side: "Yes, fourth sister, the old lady is in a bad mood when she sees her, you better stop talking nonsense, eat your meal!" ”

Li Changxiao smiled with infinite embarrassment on his face, looked at Li Xiaoran, and then looked at the expressionless old lady, tears were about to fall for a while.

Li Xiaoran looked at Li Weiyang, as if expecting her to say something, but Li Weiyang didn't look at him at all, just quietly drank the winter bamboo shoot soup in the bowl without raising his head, Li Xiaoran felt displeased, this girl is so smart on weekdays, can't she see what she means today, she really doesn't know how to lift! In Li Xiaoran's view, children must follow his mind and do things, and there should be no superfluous thoughts at all, otherwise it will be disobedience and unfilial piety! He had a cold face, coughed, turned his head and saw the old lady looking at him, and immediately showed a smiling face: "Old lady, Chang Xiao is right, the family should have been reunited a long time ago." ”

The old lady looked at him coldly, the two eyes met in the air for a moment, after all, it was Li Xiaoran who was defeated, he looked at the plate of chrysanthemum fish in front of him, and said silently: "Please also ask the old lady to understand her son's difficulties." ”

The old lady was stunned and didn't say a word for a long time.

When Li Minde heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly, he looked at Li Weiyang opposite, but saw her shaking her head gently at him, so he held back what he wanted to say and didn't say a word.

Li Weiyang sighed in his heart, Li Xiaoran was tough a few days ago, and now that Jiang Xu has returned to Beijing, he has softened, no, maybe some kind of agreement has been reached between the scheming Jiang Xu and his father, no matter what, Li Changle must stay, this is an unchangeable fact, no matter how unwilling the old lady is. If that is the case, why should she obstruct it?

The old lady finally let out a long sigh. According to her heart, it is impossible for the Li family to forgive such a daughter who has lost her morals and demerits, but her son insists on it, but she feels unbearable - "Forget it, let her eat together." ”

After a while, Li Changle came to the table with low eyebrows and saluted the old lady and Li Xiaoran, Li Xiaoran didn't look at her, but said, "Sit down." ”

After Li Changle saluted, he did not sit down in his place, but walked over lightly and said, "Old lady, granddaughter will cook for you." "The sound is soft and gentle, and it feels as if it is a beautiful fairy music.

The small bowl in Luo's mother's hand paused, and looked at the old lady tentatively.

The old lady said coldly: "No need. ”

A little light appeared in Li Changle's eyes, and he looked at Li Xiaoran as if asking for help, how could Li Xiaoran not understand what she meant, if she couldn't re-establish the status of the eldest lady in front of everyone, then her coming back would be equivalent to being in the cold palace, he remembered Jiang Xu's words, gritted his teeth and said, "Old lady-"

The old lady sighed, not wanting to embarrass her son, and nodded, "Give it to her." ”

Luo's mother handed the small bowl to Li Changle, Li Changle smiled, and then scooped a spoonful of winter bamboo shoots and chicken soup according to Luo's mother's original cooking.

The old lady glanced at it and said, "My body is weak and cannot be replenished, this chicken soup is so greasy, it makes people lose their appetite when they look at it, so don't worry about it." ”

Li Changle hurriedly pleaded guilty: "My granddaughter doesn't know that the old lady has been unwell recently, please forgive the old lady." ”

Li Minde's spring-like eyes were full of mockery, looking at this beautiful eldest sister, looking at her aggrieved expression, it was really disgusting like eating a fly.

The second lady sneered: "Miss, no one blames you for being clever and behaved, but you shouldn't let the old lady eat casually regardless of her physical condition, if she eats something, can you take care of it?" ”

Li Changle bit his lip and said with tears in his eyes: "Old lady, it was my granddaughter who was negligent for a while, and she will never do it again." ”

As she spoke, she took a piece of fragrant sea bass steamed in water and sent it to the old lady's bowl: "You can taste this." ”

The old lady glanced at it, closed her eyes lazily, and said disgustedly, "I don't want to eat." ”

Mother Luo said with a smile: "Miss, the old lady has been unwell recently, and rarely eats chicken, duck and fish, you are-"

Li Changle was not discouraged, and said softly: "This table full of meals, most of them are meaty, naturally not appetizing, if the old lady does not dislike it, the granddaughter has already prepared a new meal for you, please taste one or two." ”

The old lady frowned, and was about to refuse, but she heard Li Xiaoran persuade her: "Old lady, since it is Changle's intention, you should give it a try." ”

The old lady glanced at Li Xiaoran, and after all, she didn't say anything more about refusal.

Li Changle said to the sandalwood beside him: "Let them send things up." Sandalwood answered, and after a while, a girl rushed in, holding a delicate food box in her hand, and Luo's mother ordered people to remove most of the dishes on the table and replace them with the food that these girls took out of the food box.

The second lady glanced at it, sneered, and said, "What does the eldest lady mean by this, aren't you still chicken, duck and fish, and what flowers can you eat, could it be that you feel that the chef in our house is not hearty, and specially invited the chef of the Heavenly Palace to cook for the old lady?" ”

Sure enough, the dishes on the table were the same as the ones just now, and although the colors were brighter and the appearance was more delicious, there was nothing special about it.

Li Changle smiled and said, "I naturally don't dare to deceive the old lady," she said, and she sandwiched a piece of ham with attractive color and aroma and sent it to the old lady's bowl.

Mother Luo frowned, and was about to refuse for the old lady, but the old lady's heart moved, but she had already clamped it and slowly sent it to her mouth, and then she didn't open her mouth for a while, and everyone looked at her nervously. The old lady actually showed a satisfied look and said, "The taste is indeed very good. ”

The old lady has always been extremely picky, and the cooks in the house are all masters invited from all over the country, but she has never received a word of praise from her, and there are only a handful of dishes that can make her nod.

When Li Weiyang heard this, he couldn't help but glance down at the dishes on the table, revealing a thoughtful expression.

The old lady said: "Where is this ham, it tastes so refreshing." ”

The second lady was not convinced, and also put a chopstick into her mouth, and sure enough, she ate a different taste, this thin slice of ham, but the aftertaste is longer and fragrant and appetizing, which makes people want to eat it again, she couldn't help frowning, and deliberately said: "It's not good!" ”

Li Changle smiled on his face, and did not answer directly, but took a chopstick of shiitake mushrooms and diced mushrooms to the old lady, and said, "You taste it, my granddaughter promises that it will never make you feel greasy." ”

When the old lady heard this, she couldn't help but take a bite, and was stunned, the usual diced mushroom chicken was stained with the taste of chicken and oiled, she always felt greasy, but what she ate today was completely different, not only refreshing and delicious, but also fragrant, so that she could hardly help but look at the dish: "How is this done?" The taste is so special. ”

Li Weiyang finally opened her mouth to say a word, her voice was slow but sure: "Eldest sister, these dishes are vegetarian food." ”

Li Changle didn't expect that the first person to guess would be Li Weiyang, who didn't taste a mouthful, so he suppressed his surprise in his heart, but said with a slight smile on his face: "Third sister has a good eye, this table of dishes is indeed vegetarian." ”

The old lady still didn't believe it, and put a few chopsticks in her mouth one after another, but she still didn't eat it, so she had to ask: "I have eaten vegetarian food in many places before, but I have never tasted such a good taste, how do you make these?" ”

Li Changle said with a smile: "My granddaughter is on the mountain these days, and she is bored every day except for eating fast and reciting Buddha, and then she simply learns to make vegetarian food with the master on the mountain. In fact, the practice of this vegetarian meal is also very simple, the main ingredients are wild vegetables, three mushrooms, six ears and all kinds of tofu These simple things, as long as they are done well, not only save money but also have a beautiful color, flavor and taste. ”

"You made these dishes yourself?" The old lady looked at the table of dishes and only felt incredible. Li Changle has always boasted of being noble, his ten fingers do not touch the spring water, and he occasionally cooks a soup to make a look, but he can really make such a table of vegetarian dishes, which is really incredible, is she really changing her mind and being a new person this time?

"It's all made by my granddaughter, but without the guidance of the wonderful master in the nunnery, my granddaughter wouldn't be able to make such an authentic vegetarian meal." Li Changle is very humble and authentic, with a gentle and low profile.

Li Changxiao couldn't help but be curious, picked up a piece of chicken leg, tasted it, and then showed a surprised expression: "Sister, how do you make this chicken leg?" How can there be bones? ”

Li Changle smiled softly: "Fourth sister, take a closer look at this chicken leg bone, what is it?" ”

Li Changxiao tasted it for a long time, and finally shook his head, Li Changle stretched his eyebrows and said: "I put the net winter bamboo shoots in water and cooked them, took them out and cut them into strips, made chicken leg bones, and then put bamboo shoots in the tofu clothes, put the filling in the center, fold the buns on both sides, and make a big and a small chicken thigh, put it in the oil pan and fry it until golden brown, isn't it exactly the same as fried chicken legs?" ”

Everyone else tasted it, and then couldn't help but show an expression of admiration, everyone here has eaten vegetarian food, but they have never eaten such a delicious vegetarian vegetarian food, even if it is the most amazing master in Anguo Temple, I am afraid that it will be beyond the reach of the dust.

Li Xiaoran rarely showed a smile on his face: "If you can calm down in the morning, you won't-" He said halfway through his words, and sighed softly, "Since you are back, you are not to blame for the previous things, you can serve the old lady well." ”

Li Changle showed an even more humble smile on his face: "Yes." ”

Li Minde's brows tightened imperceptibly, this Li Changle was really the same as before. Whether it is speech or demeanor, it is more beautiful, nobler and softer than before, if Li Changle was a peony in the past, now this proud peony has become a fascinating and elegant orchid, especially the kind of shame with gentleness and loveliness, Chu Chu pity with a weak demeanor, I am afraid that people feel unbearable.

Li Weiyang smiled slightly, ordinary vegetarian food is cooked with vegetarian chicken, duck and vegetarian fish in vegetarian oil, imitating only the shape of chicken, duck and fish, it is difficult to imitate the real taste, it looks like a meat dish, but it tastes like a vegetarian dish, of course it will not be delicious, but Li Changle's table dish is painstaking.

The second lady smiled: "Miss, you can't hide such a good craft, teach your second sister more!" ”

Li Changru's smile was a little stiff, but he heard Li Changle say softly as usual: "As long as the second sister is willing to learn, I will naturally teach her." ”

Li Weiyang shook his head and said, "No matter how the second sister learns, I'm afraid she won't be able to learn." ”

Li Changru raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?!" Could it be that I'm not as smart as my eldest sister? ”

The smile on Li Weiyang's lips made people feel at ease: "The second sister misunderstood, Weiyang means that even if the eldest sister teaches you how to cook these dishes, the taste cannot be the same." ”

Li Changru didn't understand at all, and his face showed a blank look.

Li Weiyang smiled and picked up a piece of tofu and said: "Let's just say that this dish, it looks ordinary, but it actually requires more than a dozen pheasants to cook soup to match, think about it, how can this value be compared to ordinary vegetarian dishes?" I'm afraid that a dish will cost one or two silver, and this is only the cheapest one, and the rest of the dishes are all seemingly ordinary, but in fact they are extremely elaborate and expensive, how can the second sister do it? ”

When these words came out, Li Xiaoran's face sank, and the old lady's face also showed an expression of disbelief.

Li Changle's heart was slightly cold, but there was an appropriate smile on the corner of his lips: "The third sister is really a good eye." ”

Li Weiyang's expression was very calm, like a lake as clear as a mirror in autumn: "The eldest sister has won the award." In fact, these dishes of yours seem to be vegetarian dishes, but they are boiled out of the most essential soup of all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and added to various vegetarian dishes, which do not taste green vegetables and radishes at all, but are as delicious as bear's paw abalone, but if a table of dishes costs a hundred taels of silver, it is too luxurious. ”

Li Changle's face remained unchanged, and he said angrily: "The third sister is too exaggerated, but it is only a hundred taels of silver, with my Li family's family assets today, why should I be so petty?" As long as it is for the sake of my grandmother's filial piety, no matter how much money you have, it is worth spending, if you are reluctant to pay, I am willing to prepare for her every meal in the future. In this way, if Li Weiyang says more, he will be dissatisfied with the old lady's use of money, which is a big unfilial piety.

Li Weiyang showed a worried look on his face: "The eldest sister completely misunderstood what Weiyang meant, and now the Li family can certainly afford it, but it is for the sake of the wealth of the Li family that I will say these words, which has ruined the interest of the old lady and father, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

Li Xiaoran frowned and said, "Weiyang, what are you going to say?" ”

Li Weiyang said slowly: "Father, Your Majesty once said that you are the most incorruptible among all officials, when you were in office in Texas in the past, there were only three sets of winter clothes, and the meals were only five flavors, and the home was just a small courtyard with four or five entrances, which was extremely simple, and no one praised your honesty and nobility!" Now that my father is the prime minister, the situation of the family has improved greatly, and I should spend more for the old lady's filial piety, but-" He glanced at Li Changle and said: "If you let the people in Beijing know that the Li family now eats a hundred taels of silver in one meal, what will you say about your father?" ”

Li Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, and then his face began to become ugly, he glanced at the dishes on the table, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

In the end, Li Weiyang's eyes flashed and said: "When I think of this matter getting out, they will say that my father is a hypocrite and pretending to be honest, and my heart is very uncomfortable." For the sake of my father's honest voice, the evening festival, and the name behind me, don't just take into account the desire of the tongue in front of you, and let the old lady enjoy honor for the rest of her life is the most important thing! ”

Li Weiyang's meaning is obvious, if outsiders know that the Li family eats one hundred taels of silver in one meal, I am afraid it will cause an uproar, Li Xiaoran only needs to be in the position of prime minister for one day, and the old lady will have a good life one day, if her reputation is damaged for this little bit of food, it is really worth the loss, and it will become a laughing stock in the world!

Of course, the old lady understood what Li Weiyang meant, although she knew that Li Weiyang and Li Changle were not in harmony, but everything Li Weiyang said was for the sake of the Li family, so the old lady hesitated.

Li Changle's eyes were filled with a hint of coldness like water: "The third sister is a lot of worries, but it's just a table of dishes." ”

Li Weiyang sighed and said, "The Queen Mother's vegetarian banquet is only eighty taels of silver. ”

The old lady suddenly woke up, she frowned and looked at the dishes on the table: "Serve them all, I can't afford it." ”

The queen mother of the dignified calendar, running a table of vegetarian food is only eighty taels, but her diet for a first-class lady is even more luxurious than that of the queen mother, which is simply a crime against the wind!

Li Changle showed a look of extreme regret on his face, and immediately said, "Old lady, it's all the granddaughter's fault." ”

The old lady looked at her coldly, and was about to say a few words, but Li Xiaoran sighed and said, "That's it, she is also kind." ”

Li Changle looked at the old lady expectantly with tears in his eyes, and the old lady said lightly: "That's it, no such waste of money will be allowed on the table in the future." ”

Li Changle hurriedly responded and said, "Yes." ”

Li Weiyang smiled faintly, if it were someone else, naturally there would be no financial resources to afford this kind of banquet, but Li Changle was very different, the eldest lady had already sent the valuable things of the Li family to her room behind her back, and it was not difficult to come to such a banquet for a year and a half, but she could invite the real vegetarian master to teach, her face was not enough, what she just said was what the master of Miaoxin in the nunnery taught her to do, this is pure nonsense, she went to meditate on her own life, the old lady chose the most dilapidated and poorest nunnery, What kind of master will come out to really have a ghost. However, Li Weiyang didn't want to demolish the other party, which would only make Li Xiaoran unable to get off the stage.

In the final analysis, Li Changle's ability to come back depends entirely on Li Xiaoran's attitude.

After dinner, Li Changle wanted to help the old lady get up, but the old lady's hand suddenly raised, beckoned to Li Weiyang, and said, "You girl, you don't have a little eyesight, don't help me go back!" ”

Li Weiyang walked up with a smile and gently held the old lady's arm.

Li Changle looked at the back of them leaving, hiding the tears in the corners of his eyes, Li Xiaoran on the side saw this situation, and felt pity for her in his heart, and said slowly: "Your father understands your intentions, but what you did today is really too wasteful, and spreading it will greatly hinder the reputation of my Li family, don't blame the old lady, she is also thinking about the Li family." ”

Li Changle was in tears, but he still suppressed his whimper, and said, "Yes, my daughter understands." ”

Li Minde looked at the father and daughter coldly, Li Changle's play is getting better and better, but I am afraid that there will be big trouble in the future.

Hexiang-in

The old lady picked up the teacup, gently blew away the heat, took a sip and said, "It's so light, this tea is good." ”

Li Weiyang said with a smile: "This is this year's new tea, which Princess Yongning sent over last time." "He said it was for her to be shocked.

The old lady nodded with a smile and said, "When I was young, I always liked to drink strong tea, and when I was older, I realized that it was better to have clear tea, which was light and had a long aftertaste." ”

Li Weiyang smiled but did not speak.

The old lady said slowly: "Weiyang, I agree to take your eldest sister back, do you complain about me in your heart?" ”

Li Weiyang smiled and said, "Old lady, granddaughter understands the hard work of you and your father. This morning, the posture of the Duchess was naturally prepared, if she openly refused, wouldn't the two families have to turn their faces? How can a granddaughter be a person who is illiterate? I think at this moment, the old lady's heart is even more uncomfortable than Weiyang, how can Weiyang block you. ”

Li Weiyang is right, the old lady is actually very unhappy in her heart, she is very glorious in her life, and she has never been coerced by others, but the Jiang family came to the door twice in succession, once to stuff the Jiang family's girls in again, and once to force them to accept Li Changle, which is really too deceitful! The old lady smiled bitterly and said, "You, a little girl, like thirty or forty years old, have no young anger at all." ”

Li Weiyang smiled and said, "Look at what you said, wouldn't I have become a sperm in this way." ”

The old lady laughed softly, but then she suddenly stopped smiling and said, "I'm too old to stand the toss, and I can't insist too much when I see your father begging me like that." ”

Li Weiyang smiled kindly: "Of course, the old lady's heart is towards the Li family, the father's affairs outside are complicated, it is inevitable that there will be places that cannot be taken care of, the family is all supported by the old lady, as long as the father's filial piety is there, where is the old lady intolerant?" No matter what the eldest sister does wrong, whether she is her closest relatives or flesh and blood, she can't be left out all the time! ”

The old lady's eyes narrowed a little, but her eyes were reflected in the fluorescent candlelight, with a faint smile, "Your words are not only to protect your father, but also to save my face, in the end, it is not in vain that I love your heart." ”

Li Weiyang said with a smile: "Without the care of the old lady, where can Weiyang be where he is today." Being able to cook tea and water for the old lady is already God's love for me. ”

"What a talking kid." The old lady glanced at her twice, and said gently, "Your eldest sister is the daughter of the concubine, and she is so beautiful, your father has always put her in the palm of her hand and pampered her, naturally she is the first in this mansion, and she is extremely noble, but now, it is different, what she did, I will never forget it at all, our Li family is an innocent family, there has never been such a thing, keeping her life is already reluctantly for the sake of the Jiang family, although Concubine Wuxian has made a marriage contract, but there is a three-year mourning period, So we just made a verbal agreement, and we didn't make a marriage letter, I was just afraid that something would happen halfway, so I put her under my nose, and it saved her from being a ghost again, tarnishing the reputation of the Li family. ”

Li Weiyang bowed his head and looked humble, "What the old lady said is very true. ”

The old lady sighed slightly, and said softly: "Weiyang, even if the new lady enters the door, your status in the family will not change, plus you have the dignity of the county lord, in the future, your marriage will have to be the master, and others will not be able to interfere." ”

This is comforting himself, Li Weiyang understands very well, his heart is slightly warm, and he says: "Old lady, Weiyang understands." ”

The old lady said, "I've taught you to be wronged." But there are some grievances, since you are the daughter of the Li family, you have to suffer. If Changle finds trouble with you in the future, you can't bear it, just try to avoid her, and wait for Jiang Xu to leave Beijing. ”

Li Weiyang said sincerely: "The old lady is willing to teach Weiyang, and Weiyang is grateful. ”

The old lady laughed at this time, warm as a spring breeze: "It's best if you are willing to be considerate, okay, late at night, you can go back and rest early." ”

Li Weiyang stood up and said, "Please rest early, old lady." Then he stepped out lightly.

Mother Luo put on a robe for the old lady and said softly: "Old lady, you are today-"

The contemplation between the old lady's eyebrows was like contemplating the thin clouds above the moonlit sky, with a little indescribable emotion: "This house has been quiet for a year, and it is about to make waves again." ”

Mother Luo's heart froze, and she instantly became clear: "This-won't it." ”

The old lady slowly showed a determined smile: "These two girls are incompatible, how can they get along peacefully, not to mention that the water in this courtyard is already muddy, and it is even more unpeaceful now." ”

Mother Luo muttered: "But the slave maid has restrained a lot when she sees the eldest lady. ”

The old lady sneered: "Do you think Changle is stupid? She used to be just a mother who could do everything, and she gave birth to a good face, and others let her go wherever she went, so she was pampered and didn't know the depths, and now she has been in that nunnery for a year, and has been confined all the time, isn't it enough for her to think about it? The world is hot and cold, and she should always know how to behave in the future. ”

Luo's mother hesitated: "Does the old lady suspect that the original incident-"

The old lady smiled and said, "No matter how confused she is, she can't do such a stupid thing, so she naturally has a heart." ”

Mother Luo was very surprised: "Then why does the old lady still punish the eldest lady?" ”

The old lady said: "Don't say I'm ruthless, if she doesn't have bad intentions, others won't harm her." Since you don't have the ability, don't harm others, otherwise you will eat such a lesson! ”

Mother Luo was silent, she felt that the old lady was a little partial to the third lady, knowing that this matter had nothing to do with her......

The old lady said: "I know you want to say that I am biased, yes, I do like her more." Because she is isolated, if she wants to survive in the Li family, she must enlist my support, if I don't care about her, she will really be struggling. Because of this, she will try her best to take care of me, be considerate of me, and never relax at all. And Changle is both a concubine and a tough grandfather, their mother and daughter are respectful on the surface, but behind the scenes I don't know how many things I have done against my will, I naturally don't like her anymore, so I won't save her at the beginning. Moreover, a qiē has become a reality, and no one can save her at that time! ”

Luo's mother suddenly realized, "That's why the old lady will help the third lady, but now the eldest lady clearly knows that she is wrong......"

The old lady smiled and said, "Let's see." ”

On the morning of Li Xiaoran's remarriage, the Li family was busy. Since the morning, the guests have arrived one after another, and in order to enjoy the guests and hosts, the Li family specially invited the popular opera troupe in Kyoto, so that the guests can watch the play first and wait slowly. When it was close to noon, the distinguished guests of the Li Mansion arrived, and the protégés of the emperor's grandson, the six Shangshu, and Li Xiaoran came to the door one by one and personally sent congratulatory gifts, which was a good scene of wealth and wealth.

It was busy until the sunset was slanting in the west, and the sky was full of red clouds, and the sedan chair entered the door at the hour. At this time, there was still a sea of people at the door of Li's house, just because when the eight-carried sedan chair was passed on the street, it attracted the envy of countless onlookers, because when ordinary people got married, they all sat in a four-carried sedan chair -- only the lady of the decree could sit in the eight-carried sedan chair.

Li Weiyang was in the courtyard, listening to the deafening sound of firecrackers outside, and couldn't help but concentrate, Li Minde sneered: "I went to see, the bride's head crown is decorated with heavy pearls and peonies, just looking at it makes me feel dizzy, and the big-sleeved dress on her body is made of real red silk silk, and the Xia curtain is embroidered with Yunxia Mandarin Duck text, which is extremely gorgeous...... The Jiang family is really willing to spend the money. ”

Li Weiyang smiled and said lightly: "It's not the capital, but the blood cost, this wedding dress is not something that ordinary brides can wear, and all she has on her are Mrs. Yipin's clothes." ”

Li Minde frowned and said, "I didn't expect the Jiang family to ask for a first-class order for her without waiting for her to enter the door." ”

A decree is a symbol of status, Li Weiyang's voice is extremely low, just enough for the people around him to hear clearly: "If it weren't for that, how could she suppress the county lord of the second grade?" ”

Li Minde's expression changed drastically, as if covered with a layer of white frost, Li Weiyang knew what he was thinking when he looked at his expression, shook his head and said, "Let's take a look again, things may not be as bad as we think." ”

Li Minde nodded, and Bai Zhi walked in quickly and said, "Miss, the old lady said that the bride has entered the wedding room, please go over with the other ladies to accompany you." ”

Li Weiyang nodded, and then said, "Minde, you go to the front to help greet the guests, I have to go over immediately." ”

After sending the bride into the cave room, Li Xiaoran just lifted his hijab and sat down for a while, and he was about to rush out to entertain the guests, and he had to toast his relatives and friends outside......

When Li Weiyang entered the house, he only heard a burst of laughter.

The bride sat quietly on the huge marriage bed, waiting in the most beautiful and dignified sitting posture, and the second lady next to her was smiling: "I thought that the eldest lady was outstanding, but I didn't want the new lady to be like a fairy in the sky, the old lady is really blessed!" ”

The old lady smiled and said, "It's the boss who is blessed." ”

The bride blushed, and then the girl at the door said, "Third Miss, you are here." ”

Everyone in the room looked at the door, Li Weiyang walked in with a smile and said, "I'm late, please forgive me." ”

The bride raised her head, only to feel a soft light shining in front of her, and a slender girl walked over. The pink face is full of spring, and the cherry lips are slightly open, but she is born with a pair of cold eyes, smiling at her kindly.

Jiang Yuelan couldn't help but hold her breath and showed a more gentle smile: "This is Weiyang." Although she is a bride, she is not cowardly and shy, she is generous and looks very decent.

The old lady smiled: "Yes, she is third." As he spoke, he beckoned to Weiyang and said, "Come, I've seen your mother." ”

Although Jiang Yuelan married Li Xiaoran halfway, she was a legitimate wife, Li Weiyang stepped forward and saluted, and said without half-awkwardness: "Weiyang has seen my mother." ”

Li Changxiao on the side secretly admired, and said in his heart that when he saw this young and beautiful stepmother, he felt bitter, and he was a little embarrassed to scream, but Li Weiyang seemed to be fine.

Li Changle watched silently, lowered his head, and didn't know what he was thinking.

The new lady Jiang Yuelan is delicate but not emaciated, her plump but not fat cheeks are flushed with peach-like ruddy, her two moon-like eyebrows are hanging down respectfully, her beautiful eyes are moving, her nose is carved out of white jade, shining with a jade-like light, and her cherry-like lips are pursed with a smile, with incomparable kindness, she is indeed a great beauty, only a few points inferior to Li Changle.

Such a beauty has been left to this day, Li Weiyang can't help but wonder what the Jiang family wanted to do in the first place. In fact, there is one thing that even Li Weiyang doesn't know, Jiang Yuelan was originally prepared by the Jiang family to be sent to the palace, but unfortunately the eldest lady died, and such a good chess piece was sent to the Li family.

Li Changru saw Li Changle lowering his head, and had the heart to stab her, and said, "Eldest sister, is she missing your biological mother?" Alas, such occasions are indeed easy to touch the scene. ”

The old lady frowned, quite disliked Li Changru's mouth was not covered, and Li Changle over there did not refute a word, but showed a state of wanting to cry.

Li Weiyang looked at this play, and there was no gloating expression on his face, just a faint smile.

After all, the old lady reprimanded: "On the day of great joy, I don't know what to say and what not to say!" ”

Li Changru's face turned pale and he stopped talking. The second lady showed a displeased look on her face, but she didn't dare to argue with the old lady after all, so she pulled her daughter's sleeve and signaled her to endure it.

It's just that in this way, the atmosphere in the new house suddenly cooled down, and no one was willing to speak anymore. At this time, the new lady stood up, took the initiative to walk in front of Li Changle, and said softly: "I also lost my biological mother when I was young, so I can understand your feelings very well, plus your mother is my cousin, you and I were originally relatives, I married in, it is a kiss and a kiss, I will take good care of you for my cousin in the future, don't be sad." As he spoke, he even stretched out a pair of hands to hold her, and Li Changle really showed a touched expression.

The old lady covered the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Yuelan, I didn't expect you to be so sensible, and I will ask you to take care of it more in the future." ”

Jiang Yuelan's face was full of humility, and she said, "Yuelan will definitely do her best to be filial to the old lady and take care of her husband's children." Her tone was extremely sincere, her attitude was very respectful, so that people couldn't find the slightest fault, even Bai Zhi and Mo Zhu, who were standing behind Li Weiyang, were impressed by this beautiful appearance and generous demeanor of the new lady, and couldn't help but think in their hearts that the new lady and the original eldest lady were really two different people.

Li Weiyang watched this play, but couldn't help laughing, if you really want to talk about family affection, you can go behind people's backs to talk slowly, why bother in front of people? Is it Li Changle deliberately performing a play to ask for everyone's pity, or is it a play in which the two of them sing together and play on the spot? But in any case, the new lady's cousin is enough to get the perfect title, as a steproom who has just entered the door, she shows the greatest kindness to the children of the original match, and treats the concubines equally, and she is really an outstanding character.

Li Changle was full of tears and said, "Old lady, with a mother in the future, Changle will not feel lonely." ”

Li Weiyang smiled and said, "What the eldest sister said, not only my mother, but I won't make you feel lonely." ”

Li Changle seemed to be frightened, and quietly hid behind Jiang Yuelan, Jiang Yuelan smiled: "In the future, we will all be a family, this is natural." ”

The old lady smiled and said, "Yes, a family, it is good to be harmonious, I hope that from now on, our family can live in peace!" ”

Xifang's laughter suddenly spread far away, and Mother Luo, who was guarding the yard, glanced at the dark clouds in the sky and sighed softly.

------Off topic------

Someone asked yesterday, why didn't the Li family tell the Jiang family, the eldest lady was suspicious of a dark ghost before she killed herself, and Li Changle was kicked out of the house because of his bad morals? You must know that the Jiang family is not a reasonable family, this kind of reason can only take effect in the face of a family that is weaker than the Li family, the Jiang family doesn't care about you, directly use power to pressure you, use profit to lure you, black and white are reversed, the universe is reversed, Li Changle made a mistake, and he was wronged, and the eldest lady died, and he was also killed by your family. There are also people who question why the Li family wants to give in, give you an example, Huo Chengjun, the second queen of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun, is the youngest daughter of Huo Guang, a famous minister in the Western Han Dynasty, when the Huo family was at its peak, she poisoned the first queen and the prince, and the emperor was forbearant and loved as usual, but after the Huo family was wiped out, she immediately turned her face, and she became the only one in the Han Dynasty who was killed by the emperor's edict. But the prime minister.
