Chapter 353: An Invitation from King Chen's Mansion
The Li family took the two Zhen Bing sisters, led by the maid, all the way to the flowers and willows, bypassing the pavilions and pavilions, and slowed down on the shore of the blue lake.
Tsk, such a big lake, two courtyards of Amber Mansion have been built on top, and the Guogong Mansion is really willing. You must know that every inch of land in the capital is expensive, and I don't know how many officials are still crowded in cramped courtyards, and there are not a few who can't afford to buy houses and have to rent them.
The maid who led the way thought that Li was looking at the crowded Lingyin Pavilion at the other end of Bibo Lake, so she explained: "Today, the second son invited his classmates to come to the house to play. β
"Which one is the second son of the house?" Li unconsciously stretched his neck to look.
The maid smiled: "The one who wears the azure straight jacket is it." β
It happened that the man wearing the azure shirt walked out of the pavilion and stood by the lake to admire the blue lotus in the lake with his friends.
Li Shi looked at it from afar, although he couldn't see it really, but he also felt that the man was long and jade, and he was handsome and extraordinary.
She was in a good mood and walked a little brisker.
"Ma'am, it's here." The maid led the Li family in, and saw Zhen Miao standing up to greet her.
She wore a half-worn homely shirt, loosely tied in a fallen horse bun, and did not bring gold and silver jewelry, but only used a string of big red coral beads the size of lotus seeds and rice to decorate her hair bun, with coral ears of the same color, bright and shining.
Li's eyes rolled around the coral beads, and said with a smile: "The fourth aunt and grandmother are getting better and better." β
"Second aunt, please sit, fifth sister, sixth sister, you also sit." Zhen Miao politely invited Li to sit down, guessing her intentions.
It can't be that the front foot spreads her reputation for being domineering, and the back foot comes to apologize, isn't it sick.
"Fourth aunt and grandmother, the second aunt came today to apologize to you."
Zhen Miao's face twisted, barely out of shape, and said with a dry smile: "What did the second aunt say." β
Li sighed deeply: "It's not Ling'er's child, he was beaten by you that day." Maybe I wasn't convinced, so I couldn't help but say it. The second aunt heard about it later, and she was so angry that she couldn't do it. How to say that she is also my niece, her mother's thin skin is not good, and the second aunt will compensate you for her. β
Zhen Miao smiled faintly: "Second uncle, how can I worry about her little girl." β
If you hit a dog, are you not allowed to bark? She's not so domineering.
"Just don't care, just don't care." Li smiled, and the topic changed, "Fourth aunt and grandmother." Your new brother-in-law, is it okay to get along? β
"Oh, the third brother and sister are sensible and polite, very good." Zhen Miao couldn't guess the meaning of the Li family anymore.
Li asked casually: "Why is it that the second son of the house has not yet decided to marry, and the third son has become married?" β
In front of Sister Zhen Bing, Zhen Miao didn't want to lose face with the Li family, and explained lightly: "The third brother is a military attachΓ©, and he can't tell when he will go to the battlefield, so it's better to get married and have children as soon as possible." The second brother devoted himself to studying. I heard the second aunt say that I would try it later after him. β
Li's eyes rolled and sent Sister Zhen Bing out: "Fourth aunt and grandmother, the second aunt will come here today." I have a lot to say to you, I think it's just the right day, and the two sisters are bored listening to us, so let them go out for a walk. β
Zhen Miao frowned slightly. still turned his head to Ah Luan and said, "Take the two girls out for a walk, just near Qingfeng Hall, don't go far." β
Wait for Zhen Bing and the two to leave. Li quickly revealed his true intentions: "Fourth aunt and grandmother, what do you think of the second son and Bing'er?" β
Zhen Miao was stunned: "What did you say?" β
Li pursed his lips and smiled: "I'm looking at it from a distance today, the second son of the house is good, your fifth sister is discussing marriage, there are always unsatisfactory places in those people who look at each other, these two sons are very good in character, appearance, and knowledge, if the two of them become them, you will also have someone to talk to in the future." β
"Second uncle, fifth sister and I are cousins, how can we marry into a family."
In fact, Li had thought about this problem before, so after Luo Erlang was raised, she didn't think about it, but Zhen Bing couldn't say that it was a suitable person, so she rushed to the doctor. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Luo Erlang, who has a fame, is indeed an ideal son-in-law.
Li Shi smiled a little embarrassedly: "This is not unprecedented, besides, in the future, we will all have to divide the noble family, so it will be nothing." β
Zhen Miao secretly rolled her eyes and decisively refused: "Second uncle, this matter is too ridiculous, don't mention it in the future." β
Li's idea was frustrated, and he said goodbye with a forced smile on his face.
"Then I'll send the second aunt out." Zhen Miao got up to send him off.
When they were sent to the gate of the hospital, they saw Sister Zhen Bing and Luo Erlang standing not far away, Luo Erlang was holding the white cat in both hands and was about to hand it to Zhen Bing.
"Bai Xueβ" Zhen Miao's heart sank and shouted.
The white cat heard the familiar sound, kicked his hind paws, scratched a few blood marks on the back of Luo Erlang's hand, broke free while he was in pain, and ran lightly and jumped into Zhen Miao's arms.
"Meow-" The white cat stuck out her tongue and licked her fingers, and screamed aggrievedly.
Zhen Miao soothed Shun Shun Mao and walked over with it.
"Sister-in-law." Erlang looked at Zhen Miao, his long eyebrows raised slightly, and he seemed to be smiling, "Today's eldest brother Mu Xiu, I'll invite him over for a drink." β
Zhen Miao had a cold face: "Your eldest brother went out early in the morning." β
"Oh, that's not a coincidence."
Zhen Miao glanced at Sister Zhen Bing.
The two families are in-laws, and it is not considered polite for Sister Zhen Bing and Erlang to meet, but with Li's words first, she has to guard against it.
Erlang smiled: "As soon as I came over, I saw them chasing my sister-in-law's white cat." The two girls are sisters-in-law's cousins, right? β
Zhen Miao looked at him and nodded reluctantly.
Erlang's eyes swept over the eager-eyed Li family, and he had a plan in his heart, and said to Zhen Miao: "Sister-in-law, since the eldest brother is not here, and there are friends waiting, I will go back first." β
He said and looked at Sister Zhen Bing: "The two sisters should also be careful, this white cat looks well-behaved and docile, but it is actually very naughty." β
As soon as he said this, the two sisters' eyes unconsciously fell on the back of his hand that was scratched with blood by the white cat.
Erlang didn't care at all, nodded politely, turned away, and fell in the eyes of others, free and easy.
Zhen Miao secretly hated this man for being amorous, and hurriedly sent Li's mother and daughter away.
When he turned back, Erlang came out of the corner and looked at Zhen Miao with a smile.
Zhen Miao watched him approach with cold eyes.
Erlang smiled before speaking: "I forgot to say one thing to my sister-in-law." β
"What's the matter?"
"After the younger brother was raised, there was a lot more entertainment. Now my sister-in-law is in charge of the house, and I want to ask my sister-in-law to raise my moon silver to the next level. As he spoke, he stared at Zhen Miao with playful eyes.
"I was negligent, and I'll talk to the bookkeeper when I turn around."
"Then thank you sister-in-law." Erlang bent the corners of his mouth, "Oh, my sister-in-law's two younger sisters are rare guests, so they will come often in the future, right?" β
After he finished speaking, he left with a smile on his lips.
Zhen Miao bit her lip and couldn't help shouting, "You wait." β
She walked over and looked at Erlang: "Erlang." If you mess around, don't blame me for being polite. β
Erlang chuckled: "The younger brother doesn't dare, the lesson of the sister-in-law, the younger brother has always kept it in mind." β
He walked away, leaving Zhen Miao's expression changeable.
Ah Luan came over: "Grandma, are you okay?" β
"It's fine." Zhen Miao gritted her teeth and said, and when she returned to the house, she was depressed.
The muddy water in the second room, whoever wades into the troubled waters, who causes a commotion. The second aunt came up, she was really not afraid of God's opponents, but she was afraid of pig teammates!
The more Zhen Miao pondered it, the more she felt that Erlang was going to be a moth. When Luo Tianhui came back, he was still frowning.
"What's wrong?"
Zhen Miao thought about it, and although she felt ashamed, she still told Li about coming to the door. said: "I think Erlang wants to beat my cousin's idea, he has a bad stomach and a bad heart." It's just that my second aunt is a fool, if she really relents and marries my cousin, wouldn't she be guilty? β
Luo Tianhuo smiled: "Are you worried about this?" Don't worry, the second aunt will be picky when she turns around. β
Zhen Miao saw that he was smiling strangely, asked the reason, and muttered: "Is this possible, aren't you afraid of those people getting in?" β
"No, don't you know who the second aunt is, now that Erlang is in the middle of the move, there are so many people who want to get married, she naturally has to wait for Erlang to win the Jinshi again, so that she can be carefully selected."
As long as she waits for the spring of the next year, presumably the second lady who built the Anbo Mansion is afraid of Erlang, so how can she marry her daughter.
Sure enough, in the following days, the matchmaker almost stepped on the threshold of the Guogong Mansion, and Tian saw that the woman's background was getting better and better, but he stopped all his thoughts and waited for the next year.
The new daughter-in-law has the blue eyes of the old lady, and the son has a bright future, because of these, the second master Luo and she have also regained their former respect for each other, and Tian's face is often smiling.
The heat gradually faded, and soon it was September, the blue sky was like washing, the yellow leaves were piled up, and the scenery everywhere had already shown the autumn mood.
There was news from King Chen's Mansion that one of King Chen's concubines had added a daughter to him.
Zhen Miao threw aside the beautifully embossed post and asked Luo Tianhui: "Three days later?" β
"You don't want to?"
Zhen Miao pouted: "Of course I'm too lazy to look at her." β
She took a small hammer and smashed the walnuts angrily, Luo Tianhuo took the small hammer with a smile: "Be careful to smash your hands." β
He smashed it a few times, but felt that it was not easy to get his hands on, so he simply abandoned it and pinched it directly with his fingers.
The hard walnut shells were pinched open, revealing the intact walnut flesh, and a small bowl was peeled off in a short time.
He listened to Zhen Miao quietly, picked up the walnut meat and fed her, and when Zhen Miao found out, a bowl of walnut meat had already bottomed out.
Zhen Miao held her stomach: "I'm going to use it to make walnut cakes, just eat it?" β
"It's okay, I'll peel it for you." Luo Tianhuo pinched a walnut in each hand, pinched it lightly, peeled it off, and showed off, "How about it, I'm better than a hammer, right?" β
The corners of Zhen Miao's mouth stiffened.
Luo Tianhuo was full of interest: "Look, I can still pinch three at the same time with one hand!" β
Zhen Miao's expression distorted.
It's enough, what is there to show off, is there a big difference between pinching one and pinching three at the same time, and walnuts are not in a hurry to be reincarnated!
But she, who has not digested breakfast and eats half a bowl of walnuts, I am afraid that she will have to grow another half a catty of meat.
But in this way, a lot of the unhappiness caused by that post has dissipated.
In the blink of an eye, it was three days later. (To be continued......)
