Next up was Wei Ruojin.

Li Hanyao instructed the embroidery: "Embroidery, you serve the two girls." ”

Wenxiu curtsied, "Yes, girl." ”

Li Hanyao and Guanqi went to welcome the guests again.

Wei Ruojin was dignified and said with a smile: "Sister Li." I'm late. ”

Li Hanyao held her hand and said with a smile: "It's not too late, it's just right." ”

Wei Ruojin also had long nails.

However, according to the situation that day, the matter of painting the boat should have nothing to do with Wei Ruojin, so Li Hanyao and Guanqi were a little more vigilant against her.

Wei Ruojin asked in a low voice: "Maybe you have a good son-in-law today?" ”

Li Hanyao also said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty." ”

Wei Ruojin sneered and laughed, and looked at her and said, "This is also what you asked for." Such conditions make it difficult for people. ”

The two entered the upper room hand in hand.

When the women met, they greeted each other and laughed.

At that time, Pin Ming took the little maids to send the elaborate summer cool drinks and all kinds of fruits like flowing water, and each shape and color match was an excellent work of art; The aroma comes from the fruit itself, and it intersects with each other like an ensemble of piano and flute; When you taste it again, your taste buds open up and your whole body is cool.

Everyone praised each other and asked about the practice.

Li Hanyao smiled: "This is made of tea." Because he instructed Pinming: "Pinming, you tell the girls about their lives, don't hide your secrets." ”

Pin Ming curtsied, "Yes." ”

Then he explained the method to the women.

All the maidservants copied the recipe.

Ouyang Weiwei looked left and right, looking a little absent-minded.

Seeing the chess, he glanced at Li Hanyao vaguely.

Li Hanyao followed her gaze, saw Ouyang Weiwei, and asked, "What does Sister Ouyang think, she is so distracted?" ”

Ouyang Weiwei hurriedly smiled: "I was thinking, none of us want to participate in Xingyu's auctions?" ”

Liu Shiyu said: "How can you see it? ”

Her Liu family is about to intervene.

Ouyang Weiwei hurriedly asked, "Who is going?" ”

Li Hanyao said with a smile: "I'm afraid everyone is secretly working hard." ”

For example, she has been staring at it for a long time.

Ouyang Weiwei smiled: "I was reckless. ”

She wisely stopped talking, thinking that this kind of thing was indeed as Li Hanyao said, and the people who participated were secretly working hard and would not say it openly.

She was still a little distracted, so she took an opportunity to pretend to find Li Hanyao to get something, and the two entered Li Hanyao's boudoir.

"Sister Li, my sister has something to ask."

"Sister Ouyang doesn't have to be polite. What's the matter? ”

"Li Jiake is interested in Xingyu?"

"This ......"

"Sister Li, don't get me wrong, I don't want to find out about the Li family's movements, I do have something to ask: my father has decided to participate in this auction, at least to win one. Sister Li thinks that the Ouyang family's move is feasible? ”

"Sister, this is Ouyang's family matter, and it is inconvenient for my sister to say more."

Li Hanyao politely excused herself.

Ouyang Weiwei's eyes were red, and she said, "Doesn't this sister know? My sister is also anxious, and no one has to consult, so I ask my sister. ”

Li Hanyao asked, "What does my sister think?" ”

Ouyang Weiwei said: "I don't agree. ”

Li Hanyao asked, "Why?" ”

Ouyang Weiwei looked at her and said, "I don't believe my sister doesn't understand." ”

Li Hanyao laughed dryly.

She did understand, but it was inconvenient to break it.

Ouyang Weiwei said: "In everyone's eyes, the collusion between the Ouyang family and the Pan family's officials and businessmen is a raccoon dog. Sister Li, the Ouyang family is in trouble. ”

Li Hanyao hurriedly asked, "What kind of trouble?" ”

Ouyang Weiwei said: "I have a relationship with Pan Ziyu, he fell in love with me, and Pan Meilin hinted to his father that he wanted me to be a concubine for Pan Ziyu." My father wants to marry me to Pan Ziyu as his wife, how can Pan Meilin agree? My father still loved me, and spent more than 200,000 silver to pay filial piety, and gave him two thin horses to make him let me go. Holding him like this, isn't it a collusion between officials and businessmen! ”

Li Hanyao said: "This old thing eats people and doesn't spit out bones!" ”

Ouyang Weiwei said sadly: "This is all the cowardice of the ancestors: several girls of the Ouyang family have been concubines of the official family, which makes Pan Meilin feel that the Ouyang family is flattering and unscrupulous, and he does not hesitate to pay attention to his daughter for the sake of the family business, so he also wants to gain power." ”

Li Hanyao was very keen, and immediately asked: "Is it not possible for my sister to succeed, so he will beat my idea and ask Pan Zichen to join the Li family?" ”

Ouyang Weiwei nodded and said, "Yes." The younger sister is too strong, and he has to put more thought and means into it. Who knew that in the end, it was still folded in my sister's hand. ”

Li Hanyao said with a straight face: "It's not me, it's him who will kill himself if he does too much injustice!" ”

Resolutely do not admit it!

Ouyang Weiwei hurriedly said: "Yes." I'm sorry, my sister lost her words. - Pan Meilin died, and my father and I didn't know how happy and relieved we were. Daddy was so happy that he wanted to take a picture of Xingyu and earn back the hundreds of thousands of silver that were given away. My sister thought, at this time, it's too late for the Ouyang family to avoid suspicion, can they still get up? People want to say that the Ouyang family is cleaning up the mess for the Pan family. But my father didn't listen, and said, 'Who doesn't flatter the officials in the mall, why is the Ouyang family in the same group as the Pan family?' I was upset and wanted to come and ask my sister for advice. ”

At this time, Guanqi sent tea in, cool flower tea, packed in a small sweet white porcelain tea bowl, the tea soup goose yellow green, exuding the fragrance of clear lotus.

Li Hanyao and Ouyang Weiwei took the tea and drank it in two small sips.

When Guanqi went out with an empty tea bowl, Li Hanyao behind him said: "Sister sincerely asks, my sister shouldn't hide it, however, if my sister has a dislike with Uncle Ouyang because of my sister's mouth, wouldn't my sister be ashamed?" This kind of major event, after all, needs to be carefully discussed by my sister and Uncle Ouyang. ”

Ouyang Weiwei sighed: "I also know that my question is abrupt, and I didn't expect my sister to come back, I just wanted to find someone to talk to, otherwise I would be very bored." I can trust my sister's character, so I told my sister. ”

Li Hanyao smiled brightly and said, "Sister said, I'll listen." ”

Ouyang Weiwei said resolutely: "I will definitely stop my father!" ”

Li Hanyao was stunned - she didn't say anything, how could Ouyang Weiwei decide after talking to herself?

On the other side, all the guests came.

Wu Peirong also turned around, found this side, and said with a smile: "What are the two sisters hiding to whisper?" How did you leave us? ”

Li Hanyao said: "How can there be." Walk! ”

The three of them walked out of the boudoir hand in hand.

Over there, Li Hanyao walked to the window and looked at the courtyard below, turned around and instructed Qin Qi: "Watch chess, they are here." Go down. ”

Guan Qi said: "Yes." The servant went. ”

All the women laughed and said:

"We'll send you."

"You have to win."

"It doesn't matter if you lose, there is still Sister Li pressing the formation."

"I wish you a victorious start!"

A coquettish smile accompanied the chess watch downstairs.

Downstairs, Wang Yan and others were entering the courtyard.

Walking in front, Huo Ran was Jian Fan, dressed in civilian clothes, and Huo Huangying, who was dressed as a teenager, accompanied by Li Zhuohang and Fang Yan.
