Li Wenxuan, who returned to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, accompanied his children and played until dinner was ready. Li Zimo and Li Muxin, who were playing very happily, were sweating all over. The two of them were led by their respective nurses, sisters-in-law on Tuesday, and the little maid Cuizhu who was waiting closely by their respective sides, and Qiu Tong was led down and returned to their personal room to take a bath. Li Wenxuan, who would not sweat profusely as soon as they moved, sat on a chair in the main room, resting for a while, drinking tea to quench his thirst, and waiting for his children to come, he could start eating.

Before a stick of incense was delivered, Li Zimo and Li Muxin changed their clean clothes again, and walked into the side hall with their front and back feet. Li Wenxuan saw the arrival of the two little guys, stood up slowly, and said with a simple and clear smile: "Let's have dinner!" As soon as he finished speaking, he walked towards them, grabbed one in one hand, and walked to the large round table made of rosewood.

first picked up his daughter with both hands, put Li Wenxuan on the chair and sat down, and then picked up his son and sat next to Li Muxin's left hand. I was sitting next to her right hand. Zhao Tian'er sat down next to him. The family of four was happy, watching the third-class maids one dish after another on the table.

Zhao Tian'er, who had been used with them for a quarter of an hour, was talking to Li Wenxuan while eating: "Since Brother Wenxuan has decided to marry Chu Hanyue, then the dowry gift we give to the Chu family on our side should be compared with the grade and specifications when marrying her sister and entering the door." What are you going to send to their house? How many pairs of jewelry do you have for this head, how much silver is given, and how many sets of clothes are for the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter......"

Li Wenxuan, who understood that this was in the name of marrying, but actually bought someone, peeled off a piece of fish meat on the belly of a steamed carp, and first put it in his bowl to remove the fish bones for his daughter. Then he used his chopsticks to pick it up again, put it in her bowl, and then ignored her question and said, "No need to bother." I remember that the courtyard where the Chu family lived was rented by us at their expense. Since you are spending money to buy people, then you ask Zhu Biao to find the owner to buy the yard, and then send the house deed and title deed to Song Jingui to her, plus a ticket of 1,000 taels of silver. Together, it's a dowry. ”

Zhao Tian'er, who had roughly calculated in her heart, felt that this seemed inappropriate and said: "Even if the courtyard in that place is converted into cash, plus the silver ticket of one thousand taels, it is less than half of the way to marry Chu Hanlu." Isn't it good to do it like this? There is no shortage of that silver in our house, otherwise how about making up the number for the Chu family? ”

Li Wenxuan, who watched Li Muxin finish eating the fish, did not pay attention to her words in a hurry, but asked his daughter, "Is it delicious?" ”

Li Muxin, who raised his head and blinked his eyes three times, stared at him again and again with two dark eyes. Smile Yingying said: "It's delicious." Dad, I still have to eat. ”

Li Wenxuan, who had a kind smile on his face, held a pair of chopsticks in his right hand and directly turned the carp over. He only peeled off the flesh from the belly of the fish, and after removing the bones from the previous action, he added the white and tender fish meat to her bowl and said, "If you like to eat, then eat more." Children who love fish are the smartest. Li Muxin, who seemed to understand whether she understood or not, nodded her little head like a chicken pecking rice, which was in response to her father's words.

Standing next to the incense of serving and directing the maids to serve the food. Noticing that tonight's steamed carp was so popular with the little master, he whispered that he had just finished serving the dish on the table. Narcissus, who had retreated, said, "You go and tell the kitchen to make another steamed carp." By the way, who made this dish themselves? When she is done, she will come to me and receive a reward of five hundred dollars. Narcissus, who knows the rules very well, didn't answer out loud, but nodded vigorously and went straight away.

Li Wenxuan, who put down the chopsticks in his hand. picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip, and said calmly: "Do you want to do so much, don't change it." If they are too few, then look for another branch! Can Chu Hanyue compare to her sister Chu Hanlu? She's a decent girl, is it possible that you don't know? ”

Zhao Tian'er had long seen that Chu Hanyue was very practical. Vain, too much pursuit of a life of fine clothes and food, and not at all as simple as her sister, pure, with the wish of a single-minded person, the pursuit of inseparable. He realized that he would not give in and change, but he was not reluctant to give up some silver, but deliberately wanted to pressure Chu Hanyue for Chu Hanlu.

Zhao Tian'er also expected that he would not let Chu Hanyue go to live in the idle Lixiang Courtyard, but would let the other party live under the eaves of his sister Yuwuyuan. I estimate that his purpose in doing this, on the one hand, is to make it clear to the other party and everyone that although they live in the same courtyard, there is still a distinction between priority and priority, and on the other hand, he intends to support the people of the capital to balance the power of some slaves and maids in his hometown who are becoming more and more arrogant.

"Brother Wen Xuan means this, then I will start to let Zhu Biao do it tomorrow." Zhao Tian'er, who knows how to measure and doesn't say much, follows his wishes.

Li Muxin, who was still chirping fish in his small mouth, suddenly said unscrupulously: "Daddy, you want to marry a new aunt again!" Hey, if you marry one on the left and one on the right, when will it be a game? ”

"Mu Xin, don't talk nonsense in front of your father. Your father is a concubine, is it your turn to express your opinion as a little broken child? Zhao Tianer really didn't expect her to say such a thing. With a straight face, she was worried that her man would think that she had taught her daughter herself, and it was really embarrassing to say this.

Li Wenxuan, who turned his head and really glanced at her, did not count what his daughter said on Zhao Tian'er's head for the time being. Looking back at Li Muxin, he stretched out his right hand and gently pinched her little face as smooth as peeling off an eggshell, and asked with kind words: "Don't you want your father to marry you another aunt back?" ”

Zhao Tian'er, who didn't speak, kept her eyes on her daughter all the time, and was relieved when she saw Li Muxin, who was shaking her head from side to side. If she nodded vigorously, she wouldn't let Li Wenxuan be suspicious of herself. At that time, his whole body was full of mouths, and I am afraid that it was difficult for him to believe that he and his henchmen had not taught his daughter to say such things.

Li Muxin, who was indeed not taught by anyone, blurted out all based on a momentary feeling: "The more the better, so that there will be more people to play with me." (To be continued......)
