Chapter 178: Invitation
Miss He seemed to be on the right track, and said some interesting things, and the others were very happy to hear it.
"Brother Friday likes to tease others, some people are made laughing, and some people are half angry with him......"
"I still remember when I was a child, Brother Friday and His Royal Highness King Heping started on the street, and Brother Xu wanted to persuade him, but he got into a fight with them for some reason......"
Most of what she said was something that everyone in the capital knew about, but because of the clever words and the action, it only sounded funny.
Li Mingyun laughed.
The prince of Dingguo is not afraid of heaven and earth, he dares to beat the prince's sons and grandsons, dares to resist the decree and escape marriage, dares to follow his father to the north, he dares anything.
Miss Cui Liu also laughed.
"When my father heard about this incident, Zhou Shizi was angry, and he wanted to go into the palace to complain in front of His Majesty, saying that Dingguo Gong had no way to teach his son, and he dared to beat His Majesty's son, but he was later persuaded by my eldest brother."
Cui Yushi is notoriously strict, and he is most unaccustomed to ignoring respect and humility and violating the ethics of the Gangchang, and as soon as he encounters such a thing, he wants to correct it sternly.
Just because of the beating of the prince of Dingguo, the prince of Dingguo was impeached by Cui Yushi several times, although every time he made trouble in front of His Majesty, he ended up without a problem, but everyone in the court tacitly knew that if he did something bad, he must not be caught by Cui Yushi, otherwise there would be trouble.
"Uncle Cui, that's not used to seeing Brother Friday doing evil!" Miss He laughed, and the last four words were bitten very hard, and the ridicule was particularly strong.
Li Mingjia looked at her curiously: "The prince of Dingguo is so gentlemanly, why does the fifteenth princess still want to marry him!" ”
She asked innocently, her eyes blinking, and she seemed very interested in it.
This is indeed what Li Mingjia is puzzled about.
The prince of Dingguo seems to be very arrogant, loves to beat people, and bully others, the fifteenth princess is His Majesty's favorite princess, and she should be able to choose a better concubine.
As soon as Miss He heard the fifteenth princess, her smile retracted.
She pouted slightly: "Who knows what the fifteenth princess thinks." ”
Miss He and the fifteenth princess did not have a good relationship, because the fifteenth princess would be unhappy when she saw her staying with the prince of Dingguo, and would find ways to make it difficult for her.
She was angry and helpless.
Because of this incident, she was targeted by the fifteenth princess several times openly and secretly, and even if she had no contact with Zhou Shizi, the fifteenth princess still looked at her unpleasantly.
Miss Cui Liu naturally knew the relationship between Miss He and the fifteenth princess, and she immediately played a round.
"What the fifteenth princess does, there must be a reason for her, why should we guess her mind here." She smiled and said, "What's more, now that this marriage contract has been cancelled, if this matter is discussed, if it is heard, is it not our fault?" ”
After she finished speaking, she patted Li Mingjia on the shoulder, with a smile in her eyes, "Sister Jia, we can't answer this question." ”
Li Mingjia consciously lost her words and hurriedly covered her mouth.
She awkwardly explained, "I ...... I'm curious...... Ask ......"
"It's fine." Li Mingqin smiled gently, "Fourth sister doesn't have to mind, let's just talk in private, if it's in front of others, don't ask such a thing." ”
Li Mingjia nodded.
"Okay, let's not talk about it." Miss Cui Liu waved her hand, looked at Li Mingqin and smiled, "We came here today to invite Sister Qin to the Plum Garden." ”
She then looked at Li Mingyun and Li Mingjia, "The two younger sisters should go together, it will snow these days, and at that time, the plum garden will definitely be very beautiful." ”
"Plum Garden?" Li Mingjia said, "Where is the plum garden?" ”
She had never heard of any plum orchards in the capital.
Li Mingyun heard his second brother mention the plum garden.
The plum garden is located in the west of the city, and it is a garden built by the old lady of the Marquis of Changping and the lord of Min County when she was young. Lord Washin loved plum the most, so he planted many plum trees in the garden, which is the origin of the plum garden.
The plum garden belongs to the Changping Hou Mansion, but the location is not in the Changping Hou Mansion, so there are people who have a good relationship with the Changping Hou Mansion and will go to the plum garden to enjoy the plum blossoms on their own.
Her second brother went to the Plum Garden with his colleagues from the Hanlin Academy last year, and saw the plum trees and plum blossoms in the Plum Garden, but he was in a hurry at that time and did not paint, so she did not have the opportunity to see such a grand scene.
Miss Cui Liu is still talking here.
"The plum garden is in the west of the city, not far away, you will know when you go." She said, holding Miss He's arm, "Sister Yi told Mrs. Changping Hou that she wanted to go to the plum garden, and Mrs. Changping Hou said that she was going to hold a banquet and invited her to play." ”
"But let's go...... Not suitable, right? Li Mingqin said thoughtfully, "I am not familiar with Mrs. Changping Hou......
"What the hell is there?" Miss Cui Liu looked at her with disgust. "My third brother and I called Mrs. Changping Hou a cousin, Sister Qin, when you get married, don't you also call your cousin?"
Miss Cui Liu and Cui Gongzi's mother is the cousin of Mrs. Changping Hou. Originally, the two families should have been close, but Cui Yushi didn't like the Jiangmen family who fought and killed, so he didn't go to the Changping Marquis Mansion to move around more.
But the relationship between the two ladies is not bad.
When Li Mingqin heard that he was married, his face was slightly red.
"Sister Qin, don't worry." Miss He winked at her, "I told Aunt Shen a long time ago that I would take my good sister to the plum garden, and as soon as she heard that it was you, she took my hand and said that she would bring you here!" ”
Now Li Shilang has a prosperous official fortune, and has two outstanding sons and a talented nephew, and the family is very trusted by His Majesty, so the Li Mansion has become famous in the capital, and there are not a few people who are good friends with the Li Mansion.
Although the Marquis of Changping does not need to have a good relationship with anyone, if you have a chance to make more friends, it is also a very good choice.
"yes, yes." Miss Cui Liu echoed and said, "Sister Qin, you are so good, it's too late for my cousin to like you." ”
She said and looked at Li Mingyun, "Sister Mingyun, you have to come too, the plum garden is very beautiful, when the snow falls, the garden is white." ”
"It must be pretty." Li Mingyun said with a smile.
She didn't answer whether she would go or not. If she said that she didn't go, the second sister would definitely not go either, she saw that the second sister really wanted to go.
But if you say you go to ...... Mrs. Changping Hou held a banquet and it had nothing to do with her, and she didn't know Mrs. Changping Hou, so it was too reckless to pass like this.
When Miss He saw Li Mingyun skip the answer, she knew what she was thinking.
After thinking about it, she said, "Well, I told Aunt Shen that we will go to the Plum Garden another day?" ”
"It's not good." Li Mingqin shook his head, "Didn't that let Mrs. Marquis Changping know that we were deliberately avoiding her?" ”
knew that she was holding a banquet that day, and deliberately changed the day, for fear of running into her. And it was even more rude when people invited him.
"Or, they hold their banquet and we reward our plums?" Miss He came up with another idea, "Anyway, Aunt Shen knows that I can't be idle, and she will let us play at will." ”
Li Mingqin still shook his head abruptly.
Miss He and Mrs. Changping Hou have a close relationship, so naturally they can not worry too much, but they are not familiar with Mrs. Changping Hou, so they definitely can't do that. How can there be a reason for the host to hold a banquet and the guests leave the table to play?
This can't do that, I heard Miss He and Miss Cui Liu hang their shoulders and sigh.
They didn't think about it that much at all, and when they mentioned this matter to Mrs. Marquis of Changping, they didn't include Li Mingyun and Li Mingjia.
They didn't think it was a big deal, because Mrs. Changping Hou would definitely welcome them warmly, but they had to take into account the feelings of Li Mingyun and Li Mingjia......
"That's good." Li Mingyun thought for a while and said, looking at Li Mingqin, "Second sister, you go to the plum garden with Miss He and Miss Cui Liu, Mrs. Changping Hou has already said that you are invited over, you are not good not to go." ”
She said, smiled, and pointed at herself and Li Mingjia, "As for us, we don't have to be in a hurry, if we have the opportunity next time, we can go again." ”
In fact, she won't feel sorry if she didn't go to Chengmei Garden, anyway, the second brother can go in the future, and it's okay to let him paint it when the time comes.
Li Mingyun knew that some things were reluctant, although she didn't care about her identity, but she clearly knew that she was the third lady of the Li Mansion, and her every move represented the Li Mansion, and she couldn't do it casually.
