The lights were on on the small building on the east side of the General's Mansion, and the backs of the two women could be seen in the hidden windows, and the voices of voices faintly came down from the upper floor. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Cai'er, you are too much like your aunt, in this family, you don't care about anything, and in the end you can only suffer yourself, thinking about your aunt's situation back then, you should know." The one who spoke was Liu Sihan, the daughter of the Liu family, at the age of twenty-three, with a graceful and luxurious temperament, no matter how she spoke or behaved, she exuded a proud momentum.

Li Cai'er always has a kind smile on her face, for this cousin, she sincerely admires, she has only one daughter in the Liu family's room, her father has been mediocre all his life, and there is a younger brother who has not succeeded, she has also refused to admit defeat for many years, helping her father, she took over most of the Liu family's family business, firmly held it in her hands, and did not let the other two rooms gain power, in the eyes of outsiders, she seems to have become the backbone of the Liu family's room, but the growth of age makes her have to consider her own life events.

Li Caier once wanted to become such a woman, but when she met that person later, her wish changed, "In the final analysis, they are all from the Li family." Li Caier poured a cup of tea for the other party and handed it over with a smile, "I understand my sister's worries." ”

"Your own family?" After taking the tea, looking at the turquoise tea, a hint of ridicule flashed on the woman's face, "You and I are both women, and it is often this family that needs to be watched out for the most, have you ever thought about why he didn't come tonight, that is, there is something that shouldn't have been sent home earlier, but it was a temporary notice?" ”

"He's not what my sister thinks, and you'll know when you see him." Li Cai'er didn't explain much, knowing that the situation of the two families was different, and several cousins in the second and third rooms of the Liu family were either in the imperial examination or in business, and they were no longer ignorant children before, and for Li Huai, she also felt from Li He's mouth that the other party had a different identity from the concubine.

"Don't talk about this, at dinner just now, what Hong Tao and Hong Lei said about business, sister knows?" Li Caier diverted the topic, still with a smile on her face, and Liu Sihan on the side saw that the other party didn't care about what she said, and she was faintly unhappy.

At dinner, the two brothers in the third room drank a few more cups, and then began to talk about some business things, Li Caier naturally paid attention to some things, Liu Sihan took a sip of tea, walked to the bed, and looked at the flickering lights in the night in the distance through the gap.

"This year's rain and snow are less, the south and north of the war disaster continues, as long as the spring flood arrives, the price of grain will definitely rise, several grain merchants want to make some profits from it, this business is done every year, to the novelty, but this year someone took the lead in the layout, the two of them don't know what the relationship is, but also participated."

Li Cai'er thought about it, for this matter, the people at the top basically knew it, plus the relationship with several big households, they would be more or less involved in it, "Can this business be done or not, does the Liu family still lack that money?" ”

"Okay, I understand what you mean, but this business is to make profits, not to mention that the real big heads are those people in the south, and the two of them are just doing some corners, so it won't be too much." Seeing Li Caier's sad face, and then listening to the other party's persuasion, Liu Sihan felt more and more that the other party's temperament was too weak, so he had no interest in continuing to chat, and the two of them fell asleep early.

In the early morning of the second day, the sky was just dawning, and the frost had formed a thin layer on the street, and the carriage was moving very slowly, leaving two long and tortuous ruts behind it! Like two thin snakes wriggling in the frost and snow.

"You don't actually have to send me." The young man in the carriage looked helpless, but the woman next to him was smiling like a flower, and pouted when he listened to the young man's words in the handlebar style, thinking that this person was also hypocritical.

"What? I'm afraid that I will recognize the door and say that I will be your outer house, why are you still not at ease. Ying Hongsleeves giggled, looking at the other party's frowning appearance, the more proud she became, "Why don't you speak?" Excuse me? ”

"There's nothing to say," Li Huai sighed, "That man is a madman, how can his words be counted?" ”

The woman's expression darkened, "Just because he is the son of the right minister, he has raised our sisters for more than ten years." She looked at the young man opposite, and a smile appeared on her face again, "He just asked us to follow you, so our two sisters won't do anything superfluous, don't worry, as for the relationship between you and me, you don't say it, we won't mention it." ”

is already a first-class appearance, but he says some scoundrel words, it is already like this, what else can Li Huai say?

The back door of the general's mansion, after the next person reported, Cuiping and Yue'er hurried out, and did not return all night, the two of them had not slept well, and when they arrived at the back door, they saw that the first person who got off the carriage was a woman.

"Miss Ying?" Cui Ping naturally recognized the other party, but Yue'er on the side frowned, and her eyes were full of hostility.

"Come on, help me." Ying Hongsleeves greeted the two, and helped Li Huai get out of the carriage together, looking at the wound medicine on his son's legs, Cuiping was startled, Yue'er was even more angry, and just wanted to question the other party, but heard the other party suddenly come out of the other party's mouth with two words "Xianggong"

"Xianggong, slow down, the slave family will go back first." The other party laughed coquettishly and got into the carriage.

"I'll talk about it later." Li Huai shook his head, dropped a sentence, and blocked everyone's questions first, his current image is really embarrassing, he can't just stand at the door.

As soon as the group entered the door, they heard the sound of a carriage behind them, and when they looked back, they saw that it was a car from the house, but there were two strange young men who got down on it, with a drunken look, dressed decently, and looked slightly older than Li Huai.

When Cui Ping saw the two of them, his face suddenly turned cold, and he turned his head and didn't look at them, "Yo, brother, it's you, what did you run last night?" The young man who walked in front suddenly saw Cui Ping beside Li Huai, and walked over with a smile, but saw a man in front of him, with a faint smile on the other party's face.

"I think these are the two cousins of the Liu family." The other party was stunned for a moment, looked up and down, and the two of them who were drunk had even more smiles on their faces.

"It turned out to be you," the young man looked at Li Huai and patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "It just so happens that she didn't leave us yesterday, how about you let her accompany us?" As he spoke, the other party pointed to Cuiping, who looked frightened, and Yue'er and Yang Zhi on the side had already dark and scary faces.

Li Huai smiled and withdrew his hand from Cuiping and Yue'er's hands, "Cousin drank too much, right?" Or ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the other party's face changed, and the hand that was originally on Li Huai's shoulder had already hit Li Huai's face hard at this moment, Li Huai saw it clearly, but he didn't hide, and even pressed it hard to the side to make a fuss.

"Smack, what are you, a concubine, give you face, you don't have a face." The young man still wanted to do it, but was stopped by the man behind him, "Okay, okay, Hong Lei, what are you doing, why are you still doing it?" Didn't you know he was your cousin? The man glared at the other party, and then the young man withdrew his hand, looking at Li Huai in front of him with disdain, but saw that the other party still looked tepid.

"I'm really sorry, he drank too much last night, cousin don't be like him." The man also has a strong smell of alcohol, but his expression is quite clear, and he apologizes to Li Huai, he is the eldest son of the second room, the two brothers have been entering the Liu family's business for the past two years, the two brothers are more calm than their brother Hong Tao, last night the two brothers made an appointment with a few acquaintances in Beijing to go to the flower boat, and the hangover did not return, but I didn't expect that as soon as I went home, my brother made a mistake.

"Cousin is polite, I shouldn't have made it clear." Li Huai rubbed his slightly red face and smiled, Cuiping looked at it in his heart, and felt more and more bitter, Yue'er's face was already pale, so that Yang Zhi looked at Li Huai with some playfulness at this time, and always felt that the other party's smiling face seemed to have seen it somewhere, revealing a sense of evil.
