Chang'an Hou Mansion.

Ever since the pile of clothes from Linglong Fang came in and pointed out to the Qiuyue girl who was handed over to Cui Weiju, the atmosphere of the Manfu has been lowered all the way, until it is so low that even a few porters at the gate have suppressed their voices and walked on tiptoe.

When Li Ran walked into the side door of the Chang'an Hou Mansion with a large bag and a small bag, the two porters looked at her in a daze.

It's also good to stay too much, and you don't have to worry about whether to see or not, and what to call this person.

Zhou E followed behind Li Ran, and when she passed through the second gate, she paused, and said to the mother-in-law guarding the second gate: "Go to someone, report to the old lady, the girl is back." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." The mother-in-law agreed repeatedly.

Oh hey, something big is going to happen!

Li Ran returned to Cuiweiju, Cuiweiju, from the inside to the outside, there was no one.

If not, there will be no one, Li Ran put down the full food, made the bed, stuffed the hand stove into the quilt, and came out to the pantry that occupied an ear room next to it.

The stove in the pantry was sealed with fire, and the water was already very hot in the copper kettle on the stove, so Li Ran poked the stove open, found a small copper kettle to boil a pot of water, and carried it into the upper room.

She was thirsty and wanted a cup of tea.

Zhou E stood under the porch, looking at Li Ran, who was busy coming in and out with a happy smile on her face.

watched Li Ran make a pot of tea, sat on the couch, untied the bag of crispy sheep's feet, took a few books, looked at the books and drank tea and ate the sheep's feet.

Zhou E withdrew and went to the study of Li Mingshui, the Marquis of Chang'an.

Chang'an Hou Li Mingshui hadn't come back yet, and Zhou E turned around and went to Rongxuan Courtyard.

Dozens of steps away from Rongxuan Courtyard, Zhou E saw the girls of Cuiweiju kneeling in a row at the gate of the courtyard, paused, hesitated for a moment, and turned back.

Since the victory in Rong'an City, the relationship between Lord Hou and his wife is as delicate as it is, and how embarrassing it is.

Everyone in the house knows about this, and everyone knows about them.

Now, with the addition of that girl, it's not just embarrassing.

As a general, she can't afford to mess with these housework, and besides, she hates the short-heartedness of these parents.

Hou Ye asked her to look at the girl and keep her safe, nothing else had anything to do with her.

Well, looking at this girl's pen today, she will have to go to Zhu Ye for a while and get some gold pages, but I'm afraid that she will have to make up a lot of them.

Zhou E returned to Cuiweiju, and Li Ran was still eating sheep's feet.

"Qiuyue and the others are all kneeling at the gate of Rongxuan Courtyard." Zhou E stood at the door of the upper room, hesitated for a moment, and still reminded her.

"Huh?" Li Ran expressed her question with a hmm-up at the end.

What did she mean by saying that to her? What do you want her to do? Or do not do anything?

"They were punished for kneeling because you left the house." Zhou E is not a talker, so she stops there.

"I want to go out tomorrow." Li Ran was silent for a moment, swept the house, and said indifferently: "I have to buy some clothes tomorrow." ”

Zhou E followed and looked around, the clothes sent by Linglong Fang were not here, and she didn't know where those clothes were now.

Well, the clothes I bought are gone, so I have to go and buy them again.

Regarding the clothes, Qiu Yue complained to her several times.

Alas, what a disappointment, but she can't control it.

Li Ran walked for nearly a day, tired, not long, yawned, cleaned up her pile of food, brought the big pot of hot water, wiped her teeth, washed her face and burned her feet, changed her clothes, plunged into the soft quilt that was hot and soft by the hand stove, and almost fell asleep next to the pillow.

In the entire Chang'an Hou Mansion, Li Ran probably fell asleep peacefully.

The upstart of the Li family has just risen, and the clan and clan are all only after this Li Mansion was built, and there are not even a few relatives near and far, and there are no clan affairs or anything, as for the Chang'an Hou Mansion, there are not many people in the family, and there are very few housework.

However, Chang'an Hou's wife Zhang is a visionary and knowledgeable person, although there is no housework, but the rules must be established first, just like those big families, set the time of the council.

It's just that those big families have to spend an hour or two just for one housework, and the clan chores of the Marquis of Chang'an Mansion are added together, and a quarter of an hour is enough.

In the past, Mrs. Zhang took her second grandmother Cao to deal with the housework, so she went to Rongxuan Courtyard, and together with Mrs. Chen, looked at the invitation received that day, and discussed where to go today.

This matter of going out to hang out at home, most of them listen to the opinions of their daughters.

In the past, the three girls were not married, and Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhang liked to hear their three sisters twitter the most, you are going here, I am going there.

Now there is only one girl in the family, Li Qingrou, the third lady, that is, the third lady has the final say.

As for the second grandmother Cao, first, she is so quiet and doesn't like to go out; Second, she went out for a stroll, seven or eight out of ten times with her second master Li Qingping, and she always listened to the sisters-in-law chattering about where to go, and from time to time she made an idea to make a suggestion.

This peace was interrupted by Li Ran's sudden arrival.

Since Li Ran entered the Chang'an Marquis Mansion, Mrs. Zhang still got up early according to the hour, but her face was wrong, and her temper was very big.

Mrs. Zhang took care of her business, and still went to Rongxuan Courtyard to talk, but eight or nine times out of ten, as soon as Mrs. Zhang entered Rongxuan Courtyard, she sent away the second grandmother Cao and the third lady Li Qingrou.

The one or two times that she didn't send away, the third lady Li Qingrou couldn't stay for long, and she had to find an excuse to slip away, her mother-in-law and her aunt's gloomy faces, she was both worried and panicked.

After going to the Hejian County Palace, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhang stopped even going out to invite them.

Because, all the families who come to enjoy the flowers and scenery must emphasize the two little ladies.

In order not to let that evil seed go out again and be embarrassed, everyone will not go.

The third lady, Li Qingrou, was very depressed, and the second grandmother Cao gave her an idea, asking her to hand over the message to the little ladies who were friends with each family, and asked them to place a post to invite her.

On the day Li Ran left the house, the third lady Li Qingrou was not at home, she and Huo Wenlin, the eldest lady of the Hejian County Palace, and four or five other little ladies who were good friends, had already made an appointment to go to Jinmingchi to eat and play in the lake, and went out early in the morning.

When the third lady, Li Qingrou, came back, several girls from Cuiweiju had already knelt in a row at the gate of Rongxuan Courtyard. The faces of her mother-in-law and her aunt were gloomy than usual, I don't know how many times.

The third lady, Li Qingrou, was blocked by her second sister-in-law's eyes that were more forceful than one glance, and she quickly withdrew, asking people to ask what was going on.

Since a bunch of clothes were sent in from Linglong Fang, Li Ran's whereabouts were reported to Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhang from time to time.

It's nothing, but she went to Qingfeng Building, came out of Qingfeng Building, returned home, entered Cuiwei House, and fell asleep.

Hearing that she was asleep, Mrs. Chen's angry face turned blue, and she slapped her face on the couch, "It's just lawless!" ”

"Let's see if Master Hou has come back." Mrs. Zhang was much calmer.

Li Ran suddenly ran out, and Li Mingshui, the Marquis of Chang'an, knew about it very early.

He was accompanying the emperor, and the chamberlain came in to report: Zhu Zhan, the chief of his side, asked him to tell them that Miss Li had gone out, and she was in Linglong Fang at this time.

Regarding Li Ran's matter, you can send a message in at any time, this is what the emperor has said.

The inner servant said this message in front of the emperor and Li Mingshui, Li Mingshui thanked the inner servant and looked at the emperor.

"Go to Linglong Workshop and buy clothes? Does she have silver? Hung on your account? "The emperor's face is interesting.

"Back then...... A small box of gold pages that I took away, at Xiao Ran's. Li Mingshui vaguely slurred the four words of Princess Leping, these four words, he thought about it was a tingling pain, and when he said it, it was like a knife cutting through his heart.

"And quite a few? That old lady of your family, this temper really hasn't changed at all.

Now it's not as good as before, a dignified lady, it's not the time to eat on the street, you have to talk about face, this cold day, don't give cotton clothes, is there a charcoal basin? No, it's a bit too much.

You go back and tell the old lady, this will not work. ”

The emperor shook his head and sighed as he spoke.

Li Mingshui hung his head and replied.

Not long after, the little chamberlain came in again to report:

Linglongfang sent a white fox cloak worth more than 200 taels of silver to Miss Li, and Miss Li picked a silver fox cloak worth more than 200 taels of silver, as well as more than 30 other clothes, as well as two pairs of shoes and three pairs of boots, a total of 370 silver, with the account of the gold page.

The emperor couldn't stop laughing, and first motioned to the old chamberlain standing in front of the couch with his hands down, "Send these folds to the prince, and say that I want to enlighten and enlighten the water at this time, these are urgent matters, and they can't be delayed, so let him approve them quickly."

Also, I sent a cloak to Li Ran from Linglongfang, and told the prince about it, and I said that I asked you to talk to him. ”

The old chamberlain lowered his hand, stepped forward to pick up the fold, and withdrew.

"You're fine." Watching the old waiter go out, Li Mingshui hung his head and said.

"Three hundred and seventy taels of silver, thirty-seven taels of gold, it's not a lot, how did she take it out of the house?

Your old lady, just like back then, does not exert her strength, suffers losses in secret, and takes advantage of the open. The emperor said as he spoke.

"The head office of Linglong Fang is in Rong'an City." Li Mingshui tried to divert the topic.

"Leave this to the prince and let him worry about it. I see that this little girl is not simple, do you think she can not say a word for a day? It's not easy. ”

"She has been facing a deaf woman for two or three years, and she is used to it." Li Ming subconsciously defended Li Ran.

"It's true, Princess Leping doesn't talk much, gentle and quiet, in your place, she often doesn't speak day by day, daughter Suiniang, do you say that she has gone home after shopping, or is it ......" The emperor dragged the tail note, "just ran away?" ”

"Zhou E has been following." Li Mingshui said dryly.

"Go back and tell your old lady, things like clothes and charcoal basins are too ugly, you see, she ran out this time, and as soon as she bought these clothes, ...... the emperor's words came to an abrupt end, "On this cold day, she came out of your mansion in a thin summer dress?" It's not close to Linglong Fang from your house, such a lively place on West Corner Tower Street, tsk, alas, you see, the face of your house is all lost on the street. ”

Li Mingshui hung his head and said nothing.

The little chamberlain came in again to report:

Miss Li went to Qingfeng Lou and ordered crystal tuvid, bad anchovies, lychee kidneys, fried crabs, lamb in the oven, a few seasonal vegetarian dishes, and a pot of Yutang Spring.

The emperor raised his eyebrows in surprise and laughed for a moment.

"Your house, you won't even be deducted from eating, right?" The emperor looked at Li Mingshui and asked.

"Not in terms of food." Li Mingshui paused, "She said she doesn't like to eat fish, and she doesn't like to eat mutton. ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Mingshui, Li Mingshui glanced at the emperor, lowered his eyelids and continued: "A-Niang said that you can't get used to the bad problem of picky eating." ”

The emperor laughed, "Your old lady is really a straight intestine." You go back and tell the old lady, and the Zhang family, no matter how strange it was back then, you can't blame this little girl on the head, just a little girl, after a few years of marriage, it's the same as nothing, in the past few years, just raise your hand. ”

Li Mingshui owes himself to be.
