Zheng Mianmian didn't argue with Aunt Wan, she only asked the girl to go to the kitchen to bring a bowl of mung bean soup, she felt that the Li family brother was good, but she didn't want to have an unhappy dispute with Aunt Wan because of him.

Once upon a time, the mother and daughter lived behind closed doors in a small courtyard, and you were facing me and I was facing you all day long, and they were tired of each other, and even their feelings were weak.

Since Zheng Lingyi helped the two of them escape from the Guogong Mansion, and then asked Chen Rao to help, so that they could gain a firm foothold in Shuojing with the power of the Kou family, Zheng Mianmian's temperament is becoming more and more cheerful day by day, she said that she wants to recruit a son-in-law, Aunt Wan was surprised at first, and then thought about it carefully, Zheng Mianmian may not be able to support the court now.

It's just that although this brother of the Li family is not tolerated by the family and has no hope for a career, he is a talent after all, and Aunt Wan also knows in her heart that she has concerns about Li Ping's life experience, will Li Ping be satisfied with the two of them?

Aunt Wan and Zheng Mianmian escaped from the Guogong Mansion, speaking of which, this is somewhat similar to Li Ping's situation, but they are their own choice, earned by themselves, and Zheng Lingyi is secretly helping each other, so they are a little more self-righteous and decent.

"Have you settled the accounts of Fruity Fragrance this season?" Aunt Wan took the mung bean soup and moved on to something else.

"It's over, the shopkeeper is very polite, and he just charged me less than forty percent." Zheng Mianmian laughed and reached out to take an apricot on the table to eat.

Zheng Qijun has about five or six shops in Shuojing, among which the most profitable grocery store, the Kou family also mixed a few shares and pinched it in the hands of Kou Juechen.

Zheng Qijun learned about Zheng Changchang from Zheng Lingyi, and when he came to Shuojing to inspect, he took her around with him, and he didn't deliberately say the relationship between her and himself, but the shopkeepers are all human spirits, seeing Zheng Mianmian or a girl to buy things, every wisp is credit, and the shopkeeper said that he didn't want money, but Zheng Mianmian couldn't take advantage of it so blatantly.

Zheng Mianmian knew in her heart that Zheng Qijun was sent to the county lord's mansion as soon as she was born, and what kind of relationship she could have with Zheng Qijun was given by him for Zheng Lingyi's sake.

Hearing that Zheng Qijun was going to get married, Aunt Wan and Zheng Mianmian discussed what to send, but they learned that Zheng Qijun was going to live in the Guogong Mansion for a period of time, and Aunt Wan didn't dare to embroider, for fear that the craftsmanship would be recognized.

In the end, Zheng Mianmian and the girl ran all over the shops in Shuojing, selected beads of various colors that were similar in size, and used hibiscus stone and lapis jabis that were not very expensive, and planned to wear a set of curtains for Zheng Qijun's new residence.

It looks like a simple job, but if you want to look good, it's not so easy, braiding ropes, picking beads, and matching colors, almost the entire summer of Zheng Mianmian and the girl was consumed.

The Great Heat is the last solar term of summer. There was thunder on this day, but it didn't rain.

Aunt Wan's house was renovated when she first bought it, but there was a lot of rain this summer, and the last time it rained, there was water leaking in the open hall, thinking that the tiles were loose.

She didn't want to invite outside helpers to repair, but Uncle Wang was busy in the past few days, and the girl didn't meet her after a few trips. The next few days were dry again, and Aunt Wan forgot about it for a while, but today she remembered when she heard the thunder, and worriedly told the girl to take a bucket and continue at the leakage, which was also a rainy day.

"Don't worry, just a few drops of water, and after today, I'll ask Uncle Wang to invite a familiar mason."

The girl brought over the wooden bucket containing a few lotus flowers, and the lotus flowers were still very fresh, and the dew drops hanging on the tips of the petals trembled and fell on the brick floor.

This was sent by Aunt Li this morning, saying that there was no female doll at home, so she brought it to Zheng Mianmian with a fragrance, and asked why she hadn't seen her for a long time, and heard Zheng Mianmian say that she was afraid of the heat and hid at home to make bead curtains, and she praised Zheng Mianmian for her ingenuity, so she left.

The girl closed the door and said unintentionally: "Why do you think that Aunt Li hasn't seen you for too long, so she came to take a look." ”

When Zheng Mianmian heard this, she couldn't help but think about it a little more.

The afternoon thunder was as loud as the sky cracked, Aunt Wan looked forward to not raining, but the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, standing outside the open hall and looking at the sky, the black clouds were coming, the wind and rain were coming in an instant, and the bean-sized rain was wrapped in the gale, and it hurt a little on the face.

"Mother, mother, come into the house."

Just now, the mother and daughter were talking well, but in the blink of an eye, the sand and rocks flew, and the torrential rain was like a note, and they couldn't even open their eyes.

The two of them hugged each other and went to the back wing, the girl stayed and closed the door of the open hall, looked up at the roof, and saw no water, she was relieved, and followed to stay in the wing.

She turned out of the open hall from behind, and a drop of water seeped out of the roof and fell into the barrel with a 'thud'.

It was stormy outside, naturally cool, but the doors and windows could not be opened, and the house was still the same depressed, Aunt Wan shook the fan, Zheng Mianmian and the girl began to rummage through the two large boxes of gemstone beads to match the color.

Suddenly, there was a crackling sound.

Aunt Wan hurriedly got up and said, "It's not so unlucky!" ”

Before Zheng Mianmian could react, Aunt Wan had already dragged the girl to the open hall to investigate, and sure enough, something happened in the open hall.

A hole in the mouth of a bowl appeared on the roof at some point, and the rain flowed down freely, and the lotus flowers trembled in the bucket by the rain, and the ground soon became wet.

Zheng Changchang came then and took out the lotus flower and put it on the coffee table. The three of them stood in the open hall and watched, but they were helpless.

"Grab a basin and wait until the rain stops......

Before Zheng Mianmian finished speaking, with the sudden and violent whistling sound of the wind, the tiles were overturned and fell in the courtyard, with another crisp sound.

Zheng Mianmian trembled and leaned on Aunt Wan, who said worriedly: "This tile is stacked one by one, and this one is missing, and I don't know ......

"Bring me the ladder, I'll go up and take a look."

The girl was bold, thinking about calling the mother-in-law on the stove to hold the ladder for herself, and then use the masonry and oilcloth to press, and then support it for a while.

Aunt Wan looked at her thin arms and legs, and then climbed to the roof, maybe the wind would blow away.

Just hesitating, there was a faint knock on the door, the wind and rain were too loud, everyone was a little unsure, and listened with bated breath for a while, someone really knocked on the door.

The girl held up an oil umbrella to open the door, only to see Li Ping and Uncle Li standing at the door, the wind and rain were too strong, they stood under the eaves and did not use it, most of their bodies were wet, they thought that they had been standing at the door for a while, and they didn't hear the knock on the door.

"Look, it's a broken tile." Li Ping looked at the broken tiles on the ground and said to Uncle Li, and then smiled at Aunt Wan and Zheng Mianmian, and said, "I heard the sound of broken tiles, and wondered if the roof of your house was broken, and there was such a thing in my house last year." ”

As he spoke, he asked the girl for a ladder, Uncle Li held an oilcloth in his hand, and said hesitantly: "Young master, I'd better go up and repair it." ”

"What is this called? What are you doing with your legs and feet? Li Ping said gently but undeniably, "Didn't I also cultivate last year?" ”

Aunt Wan was not at ease, Zheng Mianmian said simply: "Let's wait for the rain to stop." If you go up like this, we won't be at ease. ”

Li Ping pointed to the water in the open hall and said: "If this water continues like this, grass seeds will easily fall in the cracks, and small grass will grow. ”

He neatly draped his robe, carried a small bamboo basket, put bricks and oiled paper on it, and climbed the ladder to the roof.

Zheng Mianmian didn't think much about it and got into the rain curtain, and the two of them held the ladder with the girl left and right, and Uncle Li and Aunt Wan hurriedly stepped forward to hold umbrellas for the two.

Although Li Ping is a scholar, he is very neat in doing this kind of thing, laying oil paper and masonry, firmly stuck, and climbed down the ladder peacefully.

When he stepped on the ground, he happened to meet a pair of slender eyes with a gentle manner, and when he saw her eyes change from worry to lightness, Li Ping couldn't help but smile and fell into the eyes of Aunt Wan who was holding an umbrella for Zheng Mianmian.

Li Ping urged everyone to go in to avoid the rain, and he walked farther before taking off his clothes, he was drenched, but he didn't forget to tell the three of them to drink some ginger soup to avoid the cold, but he and Uncle Li left quickly.

Aunt Wan looked at Zheng Mianmian's somewhat distracted eyes, and she didn't blame her, Li Ping came to repair them in the rain, and she knew how to avoid suspicion and didn't stay for a long time, even she felt that this child was indeed a good one.

"Tell me to boil more brown sugar and ginger water on the stove, and send a bowl later." Aunt Wan said, the girl answered, and went quickly.

Zheng Mianmian looked at Aunt Wan and didn't say anything, Aunt Wan sighed herself, and said: "The female is not left, stay and stay to become an enemy." ”

Zheng Mianmian was so ashamed that she jumped up and covered Aunt Wan's mouth, the mother and daughter hugged each other and laughed, and Fang Cai's worry and fear had long since disappeared.

After the heat, there are autumn tigers, and it is not so easy to completely cool down.

On that day, Aunt Li and Li Ping came to the door together to send a return gift, saying that they had thanked Aunt Wan for the mosquito repellent powder they gave them in the summer.

Aunt Wan opened the door and invited Li Ping to sit down, and carefully inquired about Li Ping's meaning, especially the Li family who was in Beijing would not come to harass him.

Li Ping had already guessed what Aunt Wan meant by Zheng Mianmian's promise to herself, her face was very red, and when she saw her straightforward question, she felt very embarrassed, so she calmly explained: "I don't have anything to make them look at it, I heard that he was also transferred, and most of his family members followed, and they wouldn't come to Shuojing to disturb me." ”

Hearing him call his biological father 'him', Aunt Wan remembered that when Zheng Mianmian talked about Zheng Guogong, she often avoided mentioning it, but the two of them were the same.

Aunt Wan made up her mind, and wrote a letter to Zheng Lingyi first, and Zheng Lingyi was very surprised to see Li Ping's origin on the letterhead.

She was a little uncertain in her heart, and told Zheng Qijun and Zheng Changchang about it, Zheng Qijun could see it, and said: "Aunt Wan has fled with her daughter, where do you still pay attention to those previous statuses, there is one who sees the right eye, and you can get it together to live a good life." ”

Zheng Lingyi thought that this was indeed the reason, and seeing that Zheng Qijun had not been so diligent in coming here these days, she teased: "You are very busy, are you afraid that you will not have money to support your wife?" ”
