Chapter 45: The noblewoman speaks insults

After the old lady finished speaking, she sat with the second wife and the eldest princess of Duanyang to talk, leaving the young master and girls ready to get ready.

The fourth young master, Li Bo, is not good at dancing and writing, so he ran to a few brothers and took turns to make trouble, and finally walked to Li Jingming's side half-pushed, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered: "Third brother, you haven't married a wife either, why don't you fight?" ”

This seems to be a reminder, but in fact it is full of malice, after all, Li Jingming is a concubine, even if he is outstanding in learning, it is impossible to be favored by the concubine of the eldest princess of Duanyang.

Li Jingming glanced up at him, his face was cold: "The fourth brother is willing to be trampled on, why bother to pull me." ”

Li Bo didn't care much, glanced at Yue Tan, his gaze was slightly sluggish, and then returned to normal, he was about to leave, and the seventh young master Li Bin walked over.

Li Bin held a half-painted painting in his hand, showed it to Li Jingming in person, and asked: "Third brother, you can help me take a look, can I draw this manuscript?" ”

Although Li Jingming and his second wife do not have a good relationship, he has always felt good about this seventh brother, he has admired literature since he was a child, and he admires and believes in Li Jingming's pen and ink very much.

Although the second wife is not a qualified mother-in-law or stepmother, she is definitely a qualified mother, and she protects her son very well, resulting in Li Bin's gentle personality and even a little simple, always thinking of balancing the relationship between the brothers in the family by her own efforts.

Li Jingming took a serious look at it and nodded affirmatively: "The draft is good, continue to draw." ”

The fourth young master Li Bo also took a look, he guessed that the seventh child must have known about today's flower banquet in advance, and practiced for a long time in advance, so he joked: "Fourth brother didn't find out before, you still have the talent to paint, did you invite a famous teacher behind our back?" ”

Seventh Young Master Li Bin glanced at Li Jingming embarrassedly, and smiled: "I really found a famous teacher and asked for advice for a long time." ”

The fourth young master Li Bo choked, and he didn't know whether the seventh child was honest or fake, and he wouldn't even be able to deal with it officially.

The seventh young master Li Bin asked Li Jingming for advice for a long time before he turned around and left with satisfaction, and when his eyes swept over the girl of the eldest princess of Duanyang, he saw that the other party was also looking at this side, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

The fourth young master Li Bo also watched this scene, but he was more keenly aware that the end of the other party's gaze was not Lao Qi but Li Jingming.

His eyes flickered, he snorted lightly like a change of face, his face showed disdain, and he asked with a smile: "Third brother, you really don't want to end, just see the seventh brother in the limelight, I see that the princess's daughter obviously didn't take a fancy to the seventh brother, but seemed to have a crush on you." ”

Li Jingming raised his chin slightly, put his hands on the armrests of the chair idly, and replied with a cold face: "You just can't look down on him well, you can't look down on me?" I take myself too seriously. ”

On this occasion, everyone defaults to the days when Lao Qi wants to be in the limelight, he goes to get involved, and if he loses, he looks bad, and if he wins, he has to offend the old lady and the second wife.

Does the fourth think he's stupid?

Li Bo was looked down upon like this, and immediately became angry, the corners of his forehead showed green tendons, raised his eyebrows, and sneered: "Oh, look at my memory, even if the third brother is out of the game on this occasion, it is useless, after all, no matter how brilliant it is, it is impossible for the eldest princess to choose a concubine as her son-in-law." ”

But Li Jingming was not as angry as he wished, but asked with a smile: "Even if people fall in love with me, do I have to fall in love with her?" ”

After speaking, his face changed abruptly, and he reprimanded him with a cold face: "Fourth, take care of your mouth, don't tarnish the reputation of other girls." ”

When Li Bo heard this, he glared at Li Jingming, he was afraid of the occasion, he didn't dare to make a big fuss, and he left unwillingly.

Yue Tan's nervous body relaxed at this time, and asked in a low voice, "Young Master, are you really not going to end?" ”

"Don't draw." Li Jingming replied simply, thought about it, and then explained to Yuetan: "If I end up, I will not give in, what kind of joke does my brother make for outsiders?"

He has also been influenced by modern painting skills, but he can't compare to these ancient paintings, how can he not even compare with an ordinary son of a wealthy family.

Since he decided not to play, it was not interesting to stay here any longer, Li Jingming waved his hand, took Yuetan and walked down the corridor to admire the flowers and plants.

He walked along the corridor to the depths of the flower hall, and after the corridor went up a verandah, in front of which was an arch, and behind the arch was the pet room in the house, and he thought that the maids in the courtyard were bored, and they could take a cat and dog back to play.

As a result, before he reached the arch, he heard hurried footsteps and a delicate female voice from inside the arch: "Cousin, this is the British Mansion, we can't trespass, don't come nonsense!" ”

Li Jingming suddenly stopped, raised his hand and signaled Yuetan to silence.

Immediately after, another woman sobbed on the other side of the arch.

"You are the eldest daughter of the princess's mansion, and now you are about to marry in and be the wife of your youngest son, maybe you can become the mistress of this princess's mansion in the future, what about me? Do I have to marry a man who has an outer room and an eldest son? He's a lowly son, what kind of thing, where is he worthy of me? ”
