Chapter 43: The Back Garden of the Li Mansion

Li Sixun looked at his sons and said, "Uncle Bird, Zhonglian, you take Shen Gongzi and Miss Shen to the back garden to play and entertain well, by the way, let's see what your two brothers are doing, why haven't you seen anyone for so long?" I'll talk to Lord Shen alone. ”

It is said that there are fewer than a thousand glasses of wine for a confidant, and there is no speculation in half a sentence. When it comes to Master Li and Lord Shen, this is not the case at all. This Li Sixun and Shen Qian, one has been galloping in the mall for many years, and the other has been wandering in officialdom for half his life, both of them are the masters who can give him a piece of wood and can create a forest. They chat without seeing if they are confidants, as long as they are not enemies.

Seeing the two old men chatting happily, Li Boyu pushed the boat down the river, anyway, they couldn't interject here.

"Okay, Dad."

Li Boyu politely invited Shen Zhao and Shen calmly to go to the back garden to enjoy the scenery, there are beauties on the side, even if they have no ideas, they are pleasing to the eye. It's just that Shen Zhao is a little annoying, today is a family banquet, so he has to act on the spot.

Shen Zhao's city government is also very deep, and he and Li Boyu said a few polite words as if they had just met.

Li Zhonglian led the way in front, and from time to time glanced at Shen calmly from the corner of his eye, thinking that sure enough, everyone's ladies and peasant girls were different, and they were described as elegant and generous, and they were still fairy-like beauties.

At this time, an evil idea came out of Li Boyu's heart, and he wondered what would happen if he let this arrogant-looking Shen Congrong like him, and then get rid of her fiercely? Bah, bah, he secretly scolded himself for not being that bad. Once the door of human evil is opened, it is very difficult to close it.

Spring is a season full of spring and people's hearts are floating.

Everyone had their own thoughts, walked around, and walked through the courtyard to the back garden of the Li Mansion. There was laughter and laughter inside, it turned out to be Li Shuxiang and Li Jiyuan, with Luan Gouyu, Lin Qi'er, and the maid Bilian playing inside.

"The third, fourth, and our father celebrate today's birthday, you two don't go to the front yard to greet guests, hide in the back garden and play with a girl, what kind of system do you have?"

Li Zhong lectured the two of them with a straight face.

Uncle Li disagreed: "There are you and your eldest brother in front, you don't need me and Ji Yuan, you see how good the scenery is today, don't you also bring Shen Gongzi and Miss Shen over?" ”

"Your second brother taught you, and you still quibble?"

Li Boyu raised his hand and made a gesture to fight.

"Don't mind, big brother."

Li Jiyuan hugged his eldest brother's hand with a hippie smile.

There is really no way to take them, everyone laughed, and the maid Bilian had quietly left.

Shen Congrong gently sniffed the fragrance of flowers in the air, and praised sincerely: "The country is beautiful in the late days, and the spring breeze is fragrant with flowers and plants." It is worthy of being the back garden of the largest family in the capital, and it is really exquisite. ”

The garden of the Li family is much larger than the back garden of the Shen Mansion, which has plums, bamboos, pines and cypresses, rockeries, small bridges and flowing water, corridors, and pavilions. There is also an artificial lake in the garden, which is planted with lotus flowers, mandarin ducks swim in the water, and there is a five-story glazed tower in the northeast corner. It shows a generous atmosphere everywhere, and it looks low-key on the whole.

Li Zhonglian applauded and praised: "Okay, Miss Shen is quick to think." ”

"Second brother, you have always boasted of being knowledgeable, and you also made a few verses."

Li Zhonglian was a little unable to get off the stage by what his little fourth brother said, and said in his heart that he was really a younger brother, and he actually wanted him to embarrass in front of beauties. He stubbornly looked around at the butterflies and bees flying among the flowers, and immediately thought of a sentence, so he hurriedly read it: "Liulian plays butterflies and dances from time to time, and the warbler is just crying." ”

"Second brother, it's good, it's growing."

Li Boyu listened to the comments made by the third child to the second child, which was very funny. In his memory, his second brother can read poetry, and it is indeed not simple, and he has grown a lot.

"Second uncle, it's good."

Luan Gou came over coldly and interjected, there was no room for him to speak here. Li Zhong glanced at him, he saw that everyone was all together, so he proposed, "Miss Shen, how about we go and sit in the pavilion over there?" ”

"Well, that's exactly what I wanted."

Shen Congrong was surrounded by a group of men, a little uncomfortable.

The subordinate Li Tong panted and ran over to say: "Second son, second son, there are Liang brothers and sisters outside asking to see." ”

Li Zhonglian thought for a while and said, "Invite them in." ”

He looked at everyone's suspicious eyes and continued: "I saw Liang Ziyu's portrait painting lifelike at the temple fair last time, so I privately agreed with his sister to bring his brother over and paint a portrait of all our brothers. ”

After a while, the subordinate Li Tong led Liang Ziyu and Liang Junzhu to come, Liang Ziyu was wearing a white long cloth robe today, carrying a painting box, and he looked extremely thin. Liang Junzhu was wearing a purple long skirt, a cyan gown, and a scarf tied to his head, which was very delicate.

Everyone met, knew each other, and said a little politely. When they arrived in the pavilion, Luan Gouyu and Lin Qi'er hurriedly went over to wipe the stone bench, and some servants also brought cloth mats, which showed that the servants of the Li Mansion were very well trained.

Liang Junzhu sat on the side with Shen Zhao and Shen Congrong chatting.

Li Zhonglian said: "Liang Gongzi, I like your painting very much, how about painting one for everyone here today?" ”

"Okay."

"Draw me one first."

Li Jiyuan jumped over.

"Draw a picture for Miss Shen first, and your child's family will be behind."

Li Zhonglian pulled Li Jiyuan over, and Li Shuxiang also came over to join in the fun, and several people chattered.

Li Boyu saw it in his eyes and forgot it in his heart. This time, he decided to be a quiet and beautiful man, and sit back and see what kind of splash the second child of the Li family can make with the two women.

The good days are long. With a good father, you don't have to worry about life. Li Boyu is quite grateful to the Creator, who let him live in a well-off family in his later life, and he was also a handsome son in his previous life.

Full of warm thoughts**, hungry and cold steal hearts. Li Boyu doesn't have any feelings for his family and country now, so he can only think about his life as a handsome son.

……

In the main hall of the front yard, Li Sixun and Shen Qian were drinking and chatting, both of them were already a little drunk.

"Lord Shen, what do you think of my son?"

"It's good, good-looking, polite."

Shen Qian breathed wine.

"I plan to let him take over my family business in the future, but unfortunately, he is unwilling to take the test to gain fame."

"It's good to have money in business, what's the use of being an official? Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, serving in front of the emperor every day, and if you are not careful, you will have to lose your head. ”

Shen Qian whispered.

"Then how about you let my son climb high and love?"

"Okay, okay, but this matter has to be discussed with my daughter, I am such a daughter has been very pampered since she was a child."

"That's, that's, the twisted melon is not sweet, young man, just create more opportunities for him."

"Good idea, Shen agreed with both hands. Haha......"

"Master, master, someone from the palace has come to inform you and Zhao Gongzi to go over now."

The housekeeper Shen Biao ran with burning eyebrows.

"Ah, quick, quick, prepare the horse, go home first."

Shen Qian suddenly lost all his wine.

Li Sixun also immediately sobered up for eight minutes, and hurriedly instructed Li Tong, the subordinate next to him, to call the Shen family brothers and sisters. After bidding farewell to Lord Shen, Li Sixun was a little tired, he went back to his room to rest, and let Li Boyu and Li Zhonglian brothers greet the guests outside. Seeing that others were busy, the brothers and sisters of the Liang family also got up and said goodbye, and only painted two paintings for Li Shuxiang and Li Jiyuan in the back garden just now.

Li Zhonglian stood at the door and didn't smile, and his heart was not happy, because just now he heard Li Tong tell him: His father and Lord Shen intended to let his eldest brother marry Shen Congrong. Li Tong is Li Zhonglian's personal subordinate, and he told Li Zhonglian about a major and minor affair at home, which won Li Zhonglian's favor.
