Chapter 42 The Wise Man Doesn't Whisper

People say that people rely on clothes and horses and saddles, but the face under the hat is even more dazzling because of the gray coachman's dress.

Even if he was dissatisfied with him like a red bean, he couldn't help but look at it for a while, before he reluctantly withdrew his gaze and muttered in a low voice, "It's really human."

These descendants of the Li family are indeed born well, for example, if the Miss Li I saw that day was not for that fairy-like appearance, she would not have attracted so many supporters, even Li Chen, a gentleman like him, there are all kinds of scolding him in Jinling City, and at the end I still have to add a sentence "Blind that face", Li Zhao's appearance is not inferior to that of his sisters and brothers in the family, but he has a little more calm bearing than him. People's color is divided into face and color, Yan naturally refers to appearance, and color refers to complexion, that is, the so-called temperament, bearing, and other things that cannot be touched but felt. Judging from such judging standards, Li Zhao's appearance is far above that of his sisters and brothers in the family.

Li Zhao smiled and looked at her, even though he was separated by the fence, as if he had seen through the expression on her face, "How does Miss Qiao know that I am this coachman?" ”

"Hands." Qiao Ran glanced at his hand and said, "The coachman needs to touch the reins with both hands, and naturally there are thick calluses in the palms of both hands, but Li Sangongzi has a thin callus between the thumb and index finger of his left hand, unlike the coachman, more like a literati who holds a pen and reads, and is accustomed to using his left hand." ”

Of course, there are many left-handed people in this world, but there are not so many, and Li Zhao is one of them. Of course, this is also thanks to the obsession of the women in the city with him, some of Li Zhao's preferences, almost everyone in the entire Jinling City knows, for example, he was born with the left hand, although after the acquired training, he also made the right hand, but in the end, it was the left hand that made it smooth. This is the carriage of the Li family again, such a "caring" one appeared here in the morning, and if you think about it carefully, this invitation was handed over to Zhang Xie by Li San, although this person carried a hat and deliberately lowered his head, his posture was straight, it is very likely that he has been well taught since childhood, and if he guesses that this coachman is Li Zhao with so much information, then she Qiao Ran is a fool.

"I see." Li Zhao nodded with a smile and praised, "Miss Qiao is really meticulous, I heard about Su Xun's assassination before, and you also discovered the omission of the pretend?" ”

"It's just a coincidence." Qiao Ran said, glanced at the footstool prepared by the steward, and took half a step back, "Third Master Li, Ming people don't say secret words, what are you inviting me to the tea party?" ”

Without waiting for Li Zhao to speak, Qiao Ran continued, she stretched out her hand and asked Hongdou: "Bring the post." ”

Hongdou was at a loss when he heard this, and when he heard Qiao Ran's voice, he hurriedly took out the invitation from his arms and handed it to Qiao Ran.

"Although Li Sangongzi was not in the city when I had a quarrel with Miss Li, I want to know that Li Sangongzi will not be unaware of this." She flipped through the post and looked at Li Zhao, "Liang Zi is like this, will Mrs. Li still invite me to the tea party?" The status of the Li family has risen in recent years, and this is the first time I have seen this kind of invitation without indicating its name. ”

Qiao Ran said, seeing that Li Zhao didn't mean to answer, he shook his head self-deprecatingly and continued: "I'm here today, tomorrow, no, maybe I don't have to wait until tomorrow, maybe the news of my appearance at Li's house will come out at noon, and then some taboo guests will turn around and leave, and a tea party will be the same." ”

"The invitation is real." Li Zhao was silent for a moment, then looked at her and said, "I told my mother that I wanted to invite a friend, and she gave me an invitation that I didn't have a title yet. This is also the reason why he came here, although if he finds out at that time, he can also prevaricate with this matter, but it is inevitable that there are some trivial matters, and it is better to invite Miss Qiao privately from the beginning.

"It turned out that it wasn't Mrs. Li who invited me, it was Mr. Li who invited me." Qiao Ran's face remained unchanged, but he didn't mean to be angry, but his expression was full of inquiry, "After such a big detour, I would rather take the risk of displeasing my mother than invite me to go, what does Li Sangongzi want to do?" ”

Mingren doesn't say secret words, she is already like this as a woman, I think Li Zhao will no longer hide it, in this case, it will be too inferior, this is still Xuanzhenguan, although not many people have noticed here for a while, but in the end there are people around, if she is unwilling, Li Zhao has no way to force her.

"Grandfather wants to see you." Li Zhao just thought about it, and then opened his mouth to tell the truth, "I am not at home all the year round, and I can't hide from my father and mother when I have to invite someone to come to the door on weekdays, but today's tea party is different from other days, and inviting Miss Qiao over can also save a lot of trouble." ”

It was that old lady Li, Qiao Ran's heart moved, and she said secretly: Sure enough, she came for her secret. It's just this secret, and I don't know how much Old Lady Li knows.

"Didn't you hear that Old Lady Li had a stroke?" Qiao Ran thought for a while and asked Li Zhao, "Why haven't you heard the news that Old Lady Li has recovered?" ”

"It's been a little better recently, but it hasn't been spread out." Li Zhao sighed, "Grandfather wants to see you, and I, as a grandson, naturally can't do this unfilial act." ”

I don't know if it's because of the good life of this person, it really looks like he is sincere in doing this, Qiao Ran chuckled lightly and raised his eyes to look at him: "If Mrs. Li knows, is this the third son of Li filial piety?" Grandfather and mother are both elders, how can you practice filial piety? ”

"Grandfather is the elder of the mother, and it is also appropriate for the son to be filial to the mother." Li Zhao replied unhurriedly.

This sounds like no problem, but it makes Qiao Ran know a little more about Li Zhao, this person must be a determined person, and what he wants to do, I am afraid it will be difficult for others to influence it.

"If it is unfortunate that Mrs. Li finds out, can the third prince of Li afford the consequences?" Qiao Ran asked him.

Li Zhao nodded: "I will bear it with all my might, Miss Qiao rest assured." ”

"Okay." Qiao Ran nodded, stepped on the footstool and entered the carriage.

The carriage was extremely spacious, and Li Zhao and the steward were sitting outside the carriage, and she took a handful of dried fruits and flipped through the notebook on the carriage to relieve boredom while eating.

"Miss." Compared with Qiao Ran's calmness, Hongdou was a little nervous and probed his brain on the side.

Qiao Ran looked up at her: "What's the matter, Red Bean?" ”

Hongdou pointed outside, lowered his voice and said, "If something really happens, it's us who are unlucky!" ”

"No," Qiao Ran shook her head and corrected her, "I was really discovered, but unfortunately he wasn't us." ”

One is a well-known post-generation talent, and the other is a notorious "broom star", Qiao Ran said: "Even if it is discovered, so what? Broom star, what else? I don't have any elders around me, and the elders in my family won't beat and scold, so he's different. ”

Hongdou suddenly, thinking like this, he didn't bother anymore, his eyes sparkled and looked at Qiao Ran, and said sincerely: "Miss is so smart." ”

This is called barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes. And she was very concerned about how much old lady Li knew about her secrets, Qiao Ran lifted the curtain and looked out the window: the carriage was not slow, it had already entered the city, and soon, she would be able to see the old lady Li.
