Chapter 65: The Winner Is Decided

Li Miao has the support and support of others, and seems to have rediscovered the backbone.

She thought, Li Mu was right, before she quit the marriage, the county lord of Pingkang was satisfied with her, and a few times she was angry and cried, but the county lord came forward to reprimand Ling Xiao. And she was a frequent visitor to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion when she was a child, who likes what, she doesn't dare to pack a ticket to know everything, but it's no problem to vote for one or two.

Thinking like this, Li Miao was ashamed that her previous pattern was a little smaller, no wonder Ling Xiao said that she was not a gamer.

After thinking about it for two days, she talked to Mrs. Xing.

Mrs. Xing was quite surprised by her daughter's change, but when she thought of the pearl in her palm sacrificing for her mother's family, she was reluctant: "Miao'er, you can't listen to your brother's words, and you can't listen to them all, because you like Ling Xiao and stay with others, your mother is willing to fulfill you, but it doesn't mean that the Li family has to climb the high branches of their family." β€œ

Li Miao shook her head: "Mother, I have been thinking about it for a night, and now I want to have no dislike with Ling Xiao and I am afraid, but you want your daughter to give up, and your daughter is unwilling, when have you seen Ling Xiao peel chestnuts for which girl?" But why is it bad for me? I'm his cousin, and I've been playing since I was a child. There is a marriage contract again, which can be described as kissing and kissing, can't it be worth a foreign girl? β€œ

Mrs. Xing is a person who has come over, and the relationship between men and women is very transparent, she sighed, and wanted to retreat for a moment, but she couldn't bear to tell Li Miao the truth, "That's it, you let me think about it." β€œ

However, Mrs. Xing herself admitted that the most helpful to Li Mu's career was the Ling family, although her son was a military attachΓ©, she had the same selfishness as her parents in the world, and she didn't want her son to fight to the death on the battlefield, just thinking about it made her liver tremble.

"The county lord. Brother Xiao is in his twenties," Mrs. Xing sent a message the next day, and went to the Hou Mansion in the afternoon to accompany the lord of Pingkang County to have tea, "Miao'er, the son of her uncle's family, is eighteen this year, and the previous son came to report in person, inviting me and my lord Lang to drink full moon wine, I went, the big fat boy looked like a child, white and clean, not to mention how much people love." β€œ

"Really? I didn't hear you mention it some time ago, "The lord of Pingkang County was upright on his face, and his heart hurt, she was in a hurry on the shore." The people in the river were not in a hurry, "Since you said it, I will ask someone to prepare a gift for you." β€œ

Mrs. Xing hurriedly got up and squatted: "The county lord is concerned, it is the child's blessing and creation, and the woman is grateful to the county lord for the Li family." β€œ

"You don't have to be courteous when you're in my house." The lord of Pingkang County asked someone to help Mrs. Xing up, "The child is a father at the age of eighteen, and my brother Xiao has to go out to fight all day long, the first year is pressed down, and the second year is more fierce than the first year. β€œ

If the two families hurry up and get married, not to mention the full moon wine now, maybe the second child is pregnant.

Mrs. Xing heard the resentment in her words, her face turned red and white for a while, and she said stubbornly, "Brother Xiao is a young master, he is young, how can he talk about delay, besides, there is a county lord, and the door of the relatives is lined up on the ten-mile long street, you and the old marquis Ling are particular, and it is reasonable to pick and choose your daughter-in-law." β€œ

The county lord of Pingkang snorted lazily, took a sip of Wumeilu in his hand, and said lightly: "My brother Xiao is not worried about finding a girl, but if he lacks a housekeeper, he should naturally be cautious." β€œ

Isn't it also caused by the Li family?

Mrs. Xing was not less resented by the county lord, and decided to fight for Li Miao, "Grandma Qi San's sister watched a polo match with you before, I have seen that girl, the water spirit is very peugeot, I am a guest, take advantage of the cool lake to enjoy the flowers in the past few days, and my family Miaoer also has many playmates." β€œ

To retreat as advance, push Li Miao out, if the Pingkang County Lord remembers the friendship between the two cousins, the Li family has a great chance of winning.

How could the county lord of Pingkang not understand Mrs. Xing's plan, she went to the Dingguo Mansion to meet Mrs. Lu and talked about it.

Mrs. Lu smiled kindly: "What's so difficult about this? If you don't want to get entangled with the Li family, and you don't want to be criticized for being criticized for the Hou Mansion's love of care, I have a way. β€œ

Lord Pingkang asked, "What way?" β€œ

Mrs. Lu sold Guanzi: "You will know when the time comes, and you will be sure to ask the Li family to retreat in the face of difficulties." β€œ

The excitement of visiting the lake and enjoying the flowers can be big or small, Mrs. Lu is the east, about the lord of Pingkang, Mrs. Xing, Li Miao and Yun Xiu, a group of five people, Yun Ying is worried that her sister will suffer a loss, and she wants to be stopped by her.

"Yun girl, come here." The breeze in the pavilion carried the coolness of the water, and Mrs. Lu beckoned to Yun Xiu with a warm atmosphere.

Yun Xiu got up and walked in front of her, Mrs. Lu took her hand and patted it gently, "In the end, the water in the south of the Yangtze River raises people, you look at this tender and white little hand, how beautiful it is." β€œ

Li Miao glanced at it quietly.

Mrs. Xing laughed dryly twice and echoed: "No, when Grandma Qi San got married, Brother Heng'er's eyes were straight." β€œ

"That monkey cub can be regarded as someone in charge," Mrs. Lu joked with a smile, and looked at the county lord of Pingkang with something in her words, "The county lord must also be anxious to find someone to take care of Brother Xiao'er, this mother's heart is the same all over the world." β€œ

Lord Pingkang smiled indifferently and sighed, "I'm not as blessed as you, I have a daughter-in-law who is virtuous and helpful." β€œ

"Look at what you said, the blessing is right in front of you," Mrs. Lu called Li Miao over again, "I like this child very much, and he will be long, white and delicate, and he will look like Li Mu, Mrs. Xing is afraid that she will break her heart." β€œ

Lord Pingkang was the first to laugh: "If you are a girl, you will blush when you say a lot, but now it's amazing." β€œ

Mrs. Xing smiled, she didn't think that this was to praise the two children of her family, and said that Li Mu was ugly, and now she compares Li Miao and Yun Ying together, as if she was picking up goods for the lord of Pingkang, and now the face of the Ling family has been restored.

Mrs. Lu always smiled kindly, asked someone to bring two tea cups, and said to Mrs. Lu and Lord Pingkang: "Every year, I have soaked my own black plum, and the time for a month is just right, and the taste is sweeter than last year." β€œ

Then he looked at Li Miao and Yun Xiu: "Hurry up and give the two ladies a taste." β€œ

The two girls responded at the same time, it stands to reason that black plum tea is a herbal tea to cool off the heat, but Yun Xiu couldn't help frowning when she picked up the teacup, and the boiling water in the teacup was almost full, splashing on her hand with the ups and downs, and suddenly scalding a piece of meat.

And the three ladies didn't seem to know, they were still talking and laughing, she gritted her teeth, endured the pain and put the tea cup firmly in the hand of the county lord of Pingkang, and reminded softly: "County lord, the hot water is hot, you drink slowly." β€œ

Meanwhile. The tea cup that Li Miao picked up was also boiling water, and she wanted to throw it out immediately, but Mrs. Xing saw the abnormality, and she looked at her quietly, asking her to endure it.

Li Miao was in tears, and when she was one step away from the table, her hands trembled, for fear of being hot, so she hurriedly threw away the lamp, and smashed it with a bang, and the spilled black plum soup splashed the corners of the skirt of the lord of Pingkang.

The outcome of this comparison has been decided.

Mrs. Lu deliberately took advantage of the scene to send the group away in a panic, she went back to the house to change her clothes, and turned around and went to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion again.

The lord of Pingkang seemed to know that a guest was coming, so he asked someone to prepare refreshments in the flower hall, and when he saw the visitor, he got up and greeted him, "But you really have you, you have been by Dingguogong's side for decades, and you have learned a lot." β€œ

"This is not a means, you often go to the palace, you have seen more than me, it's just that you can't do it for your cousins," Mrs. Lu didn't say anything, sat down and said with concern, "The black plum soup didn't burn you, but it scared me." β€œ

Lord Pingkang said that it was not in the way, "It's just a dirty clothes." β€œ

"That's good." Mrs. Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and the accompanying mother-in-law brought a small exquisite jar, and she continued, "Last year, you said that the pickled black plum was delicious, and this year I sent it to the pickled jar. β€œ

"I said it casually, and you took it to heart." The lord of Pingkang County asked someone to take it down to make tea, and asked, "In your opinion, how is the eighth girl of your in-laws?" β€œ

Mrs. Lu smiled and played dumb riddles, "You don't already have the answer in your heart, why bother asking me." β€œ

"I think it's me who wants to," the county lord of Pingkang sighed worriedly, "I was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, and I originally wanted to find a girl in the Beijing circle who knew the roots, but I lost my wife and lost my soldiers." β€œ

"I don't have much contact with the eighth girl, but look at her sister Yunying. I don't think it's too much. Mrs. Lu was relieved, "Yunzhidong is extremely cautious in the officialdom, but he is timid, my grandfather laughs at him, and he is the most incorruptible salt patrol in the history of the salt road." β€œ

There is so much oil and water in the salt road, which Yushi's ass is clean, and the lord of Pingkang County heard the sound of the strings, "Presumably it is very beautiful on the books." β€œ

Mrs. Lu only smiled, "Grandpa and Yun Yushi have the same temper, and they are willing to be this backer, last year's birthday, people specially moved a two-zhang high Suzhou embroidery from Yangzhou, not to mention the exquisite craftsmanship, the gold thread is only the thickness of the hair, even my grandfather sighed." β€œ

"You said that screen with a bright future?" The county lord of Pingkang was slightly stunned, "When I asked you where the screen came from, you refused to say that it was originally sent by the Yun family." β€œ

Mrs. Lu tucked the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, "Don't blame me for hiding from you, my grandfather won't let me say it, the Yun family's background can be seen, but when has Yun Yushi been publicized." β€œ

Lord Pingkang was dissatisfied: "Why are you only saying it now? β€œ

"Don't hide it, the old lady of the Yun family entrusted me to protect the matchmaker for the eight girls of her family, and I didn't know how to speak for a long time." Mrs. Lu picked up the teacup and blew it, "First, Mrs. Cheng Zixing always ran to the Hou Mansion, and secondly, you yourself said that you want to find a family in the Beijing circle that knows the roots, so I don't dare to mess with the mandarin duck score." β€œ

"When you conclude that I have a fire to burn my eyebrows, I can push the boat down the river." The orchid of Pingkang County pointed to the air. He said angrily, "If you follow the old fox of Dingguo Gong, you are about to become a fox." β€œ

Mrs. Lu laughed, "I'll only praise me when you praise me." β€œ

After a pause, "It's natural that the children can find a love affair, but they can't see the long term when they are young, you have to really plan for Brother Xiao'er, and make up your mind early, it's not me who speaks for my in-laws, someone asked me about Miss Yun some time ago, if it weren't for the old lady of the Yun family who likes Brother Xiao'er, I would be willing to be this matchmaker." β€œ

Only then did the lord of Pingkang realize the sense of crisis, "Who is inquiring?" β€œ

Mrs. Lu: "One is the Imperial History of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the other is a protΓ©gΓ© of Imperial Physician Ye." β€œ

"How long has the eighth girl been in the capital, and where did they get the news?" Lord Pingkang felt strange, "You didn't deceive me." β€œ

"I'm going to tell you what to do," said Mrs. Lu, "the sixth child of the Imperial Historian of Zuodu fell in love with the eighth girl at first sight, and Brother Heng said that the girl went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to find him, and I estimated that I liked it at that time." Doctor Ye's ancestral home is Yangzhou, you know, if it weren't for the fact that the old lady of the Yun family was not in good health and went to Beijing to recuperate, I am afraid that now the protΓ©gΓ© and the eighth girl will be married. β€œ

Lord Pingkang suddenly realized, "I remember, the eighth girl saw me for the first time, and I said that the two families of Yunye are good friends." β€œ

"People are close to the water and get the moon first," Mrs. Lu finished drinking the tea, and finished what she should say, and made up for it before leaving, "I heard that Imperial Doctor Ye's protΓ©gΓ© chased him all the way from Yangzhou to the capital, just to see the eighth girl, you are not in a hurry, the girl can't afford to wait." β€œ

This Pingkang county lord sent Mrs. Lu away, and Yun Ying gave Yun Xiu medicine.

She was angry and distressed: "You are just a tendon, in order to please the lord of Pingkang, is it worth scalding such a big bubble?" β€œ

"Second sister, I'm not here to please the county lord," Yun Xiu puffed and blew on the back of her hand, "Mrs. Lu is here, I can't compare to Li Miao, won't I also lose your face." β€œ

"Who told you to worry about this?" Yun Ying snorted, "I have your second brother-in-law, when will it be up to you to fight for me face, to put it bluntly, you are reluctant to give up the one in your heart, and people can't see your good, and you quarrel at both ends for three days, and your brother-in-law will play a round for the two of you all day long." β€œ

"Every time after the quarrel, he coaxes me," Yun Xiu said with a smile, "Brother-in-law said that we are, one thing drops one thing, and the brine points tofu." β€œ

Yun Ying: "As long as you are not ashamed, you order tofu in brine, who of you will order whom?" β€œ

These words had a deep meaning in the little daughter-in-law's mouth, Yun Xiu pretended not to understand, and changed the topic with a smile, "Sister, I'm hungry, isn't lunch okay?" β€œ

Yun Ying suddenly lost her temper, "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat." β€œ

***

The next day, because of the burn, Yun Xiu pushed them and Zhao Qingqiong to see the dwarf horses.

Yun Ying didn't want the old lady to worry, so she deliberately left people in Qi Mansion for two days, she was busy with a big mess in the backyard of Qi Mansion during the day, Yun Xiu was tired of reading books, and had nothing to do, so she said hello to Yun Ying after lunch, and took Chunliu to listen to the book.

Chunliu doesn't like to listen to the Beijing accent, especially when it comes to being fast, she can't understand it, "Girl, can you understand?" And laughed. β€œ

Yun Xiu was often in contact with Ling Xiao, so he naturally understood, and said intently: "Learn to listen, we can't go back to Yangzhou." β€œ

"What's so good about the capital?" Chunliu muttered, "Let's move here, and the protΓ©gΓ© of Imperial Physician Ye will also join in the fun." β€œ

"Imperial Doctor Ye is in a high position in the Tai Hospital, and it is normal for his protΓ©gΓ© to come to Beijing to seek a job, maybe he can be promoted every three or five years," Yun Xiu disagreed, "You are like you, except for serving me, there is no other worry." β€œ

Chunliu said, "Girl, the slave is not worried, but don't you want to know who that protΓ©gΓ© is?" β€œ

"Who?" As soon as Yun Xiu turned her head, she saw Ling Xiao walking in without a sound, she smiled in surprise, "How do you know I'm here?" β€œ

Chunliu turned around and saw Zhongyi Hou, and hurriedly retreated.

"What did you just say?" Ling Xiao sat beside her, "When I went up to the second floor, I heard you two talking non-stop in Yangzhou." β€œ

On the second floor, near the railing, there is a long row of seats, each of which is divided by a screen, and in the compartment there is a table and two circle chairs, facing the desk of the storyteller in the lobby.

"You didn't say anything," Yun Xiu leaned back in her chair and listened to the book with two minds, "You haven't said how you found me?" β€œ

Ling Xiao grabbed a handful of melon seeds and threw them in his mouth: "You are not familiar with the capital, I have brought you here here, where else can you go." β€œ

Yun Xiu didn't believe it: "The second brother-in-law told you." β€œ

Ling Xiao said yes, and tapped his index finger on the table, "Show me your hand." β€œ

Yun Xiu stretched out the good one.

Ling Xiao was speechless: "The other one!" β€œ

Yun Xiu pulled his sleeves perfunctorily, "It's not a big deal." β€œ

Ling Xiao snorted, "Do you show it to me yourself, or do I do it?" β€œ

"It's really nothing," Yun Xiu raised her hand, the shiny blisters were all over the city, she smiled indifferently, "It looks scary, it doesn't hurt anymore, wait until you go back and apply the scalding cream again, and it's good to raise it for two days." β€œ

But Ling Xiao's face was still not good-looking, "Did my mother say anything?" β€œ

"The county lord didn't say anything, so it can be seen that he is satisfied with me." Yun Xiu put down his sleeves and was complacent, "It is estimated that Mrs. Xing will not go to the Hou Mansion for a while?"

Before the words fell, Ling Xiao suddenly got up and grabbed her arm and left.

Yun Xiu inexplicably trotted all the way, "I haven't finished listening to the book yet, where are you taking me?" β€œ

Ling Xiao said the small house.

She immediately struggled, "I'm not going. β€œ

Ling Xiao turned around and said in a deep voice, "Take your girl with me." β€œ

Then Yun Xiu stood in the courtyard of the small mansion with Chunliu, dazed and at a loss.

Ling Xiao pointed to the north wing and ordered Chunliu, "You sleep here at night." β€œ

After speaking, he said to Yun Xiu, "I'll sleep in the east room, you choose one yourself." β€œ

Before, she and Ling Xiao were both active in the South House, so they chose a familiar room.

Chunliu was not only dazed but also frightened, she waited for Ling Xiao to go to the East House, leaned over to Yun Xiu and whispered, "Girl, do we want to spend the night here?" Ming'er Qisan's grandmother asked, what do you say? β€œ

"Let's talk about it tonight." Yun Xiu was afraid that Ling Xiao would enter the house in the middle of the night, "You go to stay in the house, I'll ask Master Hou, maybe he will send us back later on a whim." β€œ

Wait for Chunliu to enter the house and close the door. She carried her skirt into the east room, one foot just crossed the threshold, she was suddenly pulled in, and fell on the couch in a whirlwind, the tall figure covered the light above her head, the smell of Qingling came to her face, and Ling Xiao's kiss swept her cheeks, lips and neck.

Yun Xiu pushed hard, but she couldn't push at all, she didn't want Chunliu to hear the movement, so she lowered her voice and said, "The blister may have burst." β€œ

Ling Xiao suddenly came to his senses, got up and pulled up her sleeves, and looked at it carefully, it was no big deal, Rao was so. The impulse just now was mostly reduced, and his voice was slightly hoarse, "If you want to die, will you go?" β€œ

"Of course I won't do it." Yun Xiu straightened his clothes, his mind was clear, "I knew when I got the tea cup that it was Mrs. Lu's test, and the county lord was not good at damaging the Li family's face, so he could only be shot by others." β€œ

Ling Xiao looked at her helplessly, "Burning you like this, hate?" β€œ

"It's not hate." Yun Xiu smiled, "Actually, I can be like Li Miao, throwing the lamp, but if the Lord of Pingkang is not satisfied, isn't it embarrassing for you?" Ten steps to nine steps. Gritted his teeth and got through. β€œ

"Don't embarrass me, do you think I'm useless?" Ling Xiao asked angrily, "I'm afraid that my mother will not be satisfied, I'm afraid that I will only listen to the family, and the matter between the two of us will be over?" β€œ

"I didn't think about it so much at the moment," Yun Xiu himself was not sure, "I will do my part, so that the county lord can not make mistakes, isn't it good to settle this family business early?" β€œ

Ling Xiao looked at her with a heavy look for a long time, staring at her uncomfortably.

Yun Xiu raised her scalded hand and frowned, "My hand hurts, you don't feel sorry for it, and you lose your temper, it's so unreasonable." β€œ

"I'll give you medicine." Ling Xiao was finally defeated, got up and rummaged through the bottles and cans in the house, and said while applying medicine, "I just thought, whether he mentions his relatives or not, raise you in a small house, cook raw rice and rice, and then go back with the child, my mother can only accept it." β€œ

"You guess what the Lord of Pingkang won't do to you." Yun Xiu sighed, "What about the old marquis?" Did he pass it? β€œ

Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment, "So, I'll go back and ask someone to bring food, there are domestic servants guarding outside the courtyard, you can support them for anything, I'll come late, you go to sleep first." β€œ

After speaking, he called Chunliu in, told him a few words, and then left.

He quickly whipped all the way back to the Hou Mansion, and went straight to the study in the front yard to find the old man, but he pounced on the air and asked the little guy, and the little guy said that the old marquis and the county lord were in the flower hall.

"Guests?" Ling Xiao couldn't remember who he had seen recently.

The little servant said respectfully: "Back to the little marquis, there are no guests, just Mrs. Xing and Miss Li of the Li family." β€œ

It's really indomitable, Ling Xiao's anger didn't go well, he waved his hand and went directly to the flower hall.

In the flower hall, Li Miao knelt at the feet of the lord of Pingkang and cried. Mrs. Xing not only didn't feel distressed, but also asked the county lord to just teach a good lesson, and the old marquis should be a peacemaker on both sides.

Only Ling Xiao stepped in and suddenly roared: "What are you crying about!" β€œ

The room fell silent.

"Dad, you don't have to worry about it, my son will deal with it." Ling Xiao picked up the old man, turned his head and said to the county lord of Pingkang, "Mother, you help your father back to the front yard." β€œ

Obviously, Mrs. Xing wanted that the adults were not there, and the girl and the master were better to speak, so she hurriedly left with the county lord.

There were two people left in the flower hall, Ling Xiao sat down and leaned forward. staring at Li Miao with sharp eyes: "What are you crying for?" Ask you? β€œ

Li Miao was a little scared, and muttered: "I came to ask the county lord for the guilt, and I lost the county lord's face in front of Mrs. Lu today." β€œ

"How much is your plea worth?" Ling Xiao straightened up and said contemptuously, "On weekdays, you cry at home, I don't care, don't run to my territory to spread wild." β€œ

Saying that, he called two martial arts guys, "Blasted people out and drove them away with Mrs. Xing." β€œ

As soon as Li Miao heard that the other party tore his face, he immediately stopped crying, got up and shouted with a red face and a thick neck: "Ling Xiao! My mother is your cousin's aunt, and you are disrespectful to your elders if you drive her away! β€œ

Ling Xiao turned a deaf ear and yelled at the little guy: "What are you doing in a daze!" β€œ

The little guy glanced at each other, said "offended" to Li Miao, fought left and right, and carried people out directly.

On the verandah, Li Miao struggled and shouted, "Ling Xiao! What's so good about that vixen! Sooner or later, she'll hurt you! β€œ

When Mrs. Xing heard the movement, she hurriedly ran out, looked at her daughter who was kicked out, didn't care about it, hurriedly followed, and shouted, "Let go of my Miao'er!" Do you have any royal laws! β€œ

The county lord of Pingkang didn't expect his son to get angry, and looked at the old marquis, not knowing what to do for a while, "This time I completely turned against the Li family, you don't care?" β€œ

Old Marquis Ling was standing in front of the lotus tank to feed the fish, and said slowly, "If you are angry, you will be red-faced, it can be regarded as an enlightenment, let him go." β€œ
