The golden sunlight shone softly through the translucent screen window, and sprinkled on the clothes on the Luohan bed like a piece of broken gold, gilding them with a faint golden halo, and also reflecting the eyes of Mrs. Li and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who were as bright as stars and shining.

The first is a cream color with a small vertical collar and a light gauze satin.

The second is a red trimmed collared blouse with a peony flower skirt, and the blooming peony flowers on the skirt immediately attracted Xin's attention.

Those peony flowers are embroidered vividly, and at a glance, it seems that countless red peony flowers are sprinkled from the waist, which are red, sauce red, vermilion, and crimson...... All kinds of reds are intertwined, delicate and dazzling, and beautiful.

"What a beautiful peony flower!" Xin blurted out praise, and couldn't help but lean over to look at the delicate peony embroidery on the skirt, but was surprised to find that each of these peony flowers looked like a color at first glance, but in fact, several kinds of red were used on each flower, and the petals were smudged from light to dark, and the transition between colors was extremely natural, so these peony flowers could jump vividly on the "skirt".

"What a clever work!" Xin was almost reluctant to look away, she couldn't imagine how many kinds of red silk threads had been used on this dress.

Seeing this, the corners of Master Jin's mouth on the side were slightly upturned proudly, and his eyes were shining. Embroidering this dress was more time-consuming and painstaking than she expected, and she was working day and night to reluctantly send this dress to Duanmu Jun to try on today.

However, all the hard work she put in is worth it, and this dress is bound to shine in Beijing!

On the far right is the last big red peacock play peony pattern engraved silk sleeve gown, the gorgeous material seems to be shining in the golden sunlight.

Mrs. Rao is Mrs. Li was well-informed, and she was also slightly moved, her fingers gently stroked the material, and blurted out a little excitedly: "Could this gown be made of peacock brocade?!" ”

The preciousness of peacock brocade is well known, and it can be said that it is hard to find a thousand gold among the people, and the Xin family could not hide their surprise and came over.

Duanmu Jun looked at Duanmu Fei with doting eyes, and said with a smile: "This is the peacock brocade that Zhen Zhen bothered to find for me." ”

Mrs. Li was first startled, then smiled, and looked at the two sisters gently and lovingly. It was just an understatement in Duanmujun's mouth, but Mrs. Li could imagine that Duanmufei must have put a lot of effort into this peacock brocade.

This granddaughter of hers is really sisterly, and her daughter should be relieved to see them like this in the spirit of heaven.

Duanmu raised her chin triumphantly and urged: "Sister, go and try on clothes, I'll discuss with my grandmother and second aunt to see if there is anything else to modify......"

Duanmu Fei hurriedly urged Duanmu Jun to try on clothes, and she talked to Master Jin about the modification of the shoes first, she felt that the tips of the shoes could be made to match the peony silk flowers, at that time, my sister walked around, as if the peony flowers on the skirt fell on the tips of the shoes......

As soon as she said this, Master Jin's eyes lit up and he was eager to try.

The four women in the house, you say a word, I say a word, which of this woman does not like beautiful clothes, speaking of Xing, Mrs. Li and Xin made an appointment with Master Jin to go to Yujin Tower tomorrow to have a look.

After Duanmujun finished trying on the dress, they said that they had agreed on a few places that needed to be modified, and it was already more than an hour later.

Master Jin then took his leave, and only the two sisters, Mrs. Li and the Xin family were left in the eastern room.

"Sister Scarlet, how is your sister's wedding preparation?"

After more than an hour just now, Mrs. Li could see that Duanmujun was not very concerned about her etiquette, and felt that it was enough to "make up for it", so Mrs. Li didn't ask her.

Duanmu Fei reported the progress of dresses, jewelry, banquet posts, menus, venue layouts, etc., and said it in an orderly manner.

Before coming, Mrs. Li was still a little worried in her heart, but at this moment, seeing that Duanmu Fei was acting in moderation, she was completely relieved, and the wrinkles on her face were squeezed together with a smile, and said, "Our sister Scarlet is really capable, like me." ”

Mrs. Li took Duanmufei's little hand and patted it affectionately, feeling that both the eldest granddaughter and the youngest granddaughter could do a great job, exactly the same as when she was young.

Xin almost choked on the tea when he heard this, and after coughing lightly, he drank the tea silently.

In fact, she thinks that the two nieces are more like the deceased aunt and grandmother.

My mother-in-law looks like an ordinary noblewoman, in fact, it is on the horse to kill the enemy, and you can cut people with a knife......

In contrast, the two granddaughters, the eldest is gentle and gentle, the younger one is delicate and cute, and the Duanmu family is the Wenchen family, how can the two nieces not be so strong!

Mrs. Li didn't notice Xin's abnormality at all, her attention was focused on Duanmu Fei's body, and asked with a smile: "Sister Fei, what do you think of your cousin?" ”

Hearing this, Xin raised his head from the teacup excitedly, and looked at Duanmu Fei without blinking, his eyes showing anticipation.

"Cousin, he's pretty good else, it's just ......" Duanmu Fei seemed to hesitate, and Mrs. Li and Xin's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both looked at her expectantly.

Duanmu Fei seriously proposed: "Grandmother, aunt, it's better to find a guy who understands the market for Cousin You." ”

Duanmu Fei said that she met Li Tingyou out two days ago from a ready-to-wear shop, it turned out that when he and his comrades in the army went out to drink, someone accidentally knocked over the wine jar and soiled his robe, so he temporarily went to the ready-to-wear shop to buy a ......

Xin thought of something, and weakly raised his forehead and asked, "He was deceived again?" ”

Duanmu Fei nodded helplessly, "Cousin You, he also bought more than a dozen ...... at one time" All of them are robes made of stock materials from the previous year.

Xin and Mrs. Li glanced at each other, and both sighed quietly. Xin felt a little powerless in his heart: what should I do if my son is too stupid?!

Xin thought for a while, and euphemistically tried again: "Sister Scarlet, we are all our own family, and the second aunt doesn't hide it from you, in fact, your grandmother and I came to Beijing this time to book a family affair for your cousin." After a pause, she asked again, "Sister Scarlet, what do you think...... What do you think? As he spoke, he looked expectant.

Duanmujun was originally sending the teacup to his mouth, but in an instant, as if he was frozen, his hands stopped in mid-air.

After she blinked, she tasted Xin's extra-verbal voice, it turned out that her grandmother and second aunt had fallen in love with her sister as the wife of the Li family, so they deliberately traveled thousands of miles to the capital.

Duanmujun felt a little complicated in his heart, surprised, emotional, and proud...... My sister is really too sought-after!

Duanmujun looked at her sister nervously, although she felt that Feng Yan was not bad, but cousin Yu seemed to be good, kissing and kissing, and in the future, her sister married into the Li family, and her grandfather's family protected her, Duanmujun was a little embarrassed for a while.

There was silence in the room, and the eyes of the other three were once again focused on Duanmu Fei.

Duanmufei didn't understand the meaning of Xin's words at all, and laughed out loud directly, and said happily: "Grandmother, second aunt, according to me, it's not easy for my cousin to marry a daughter-in-law!" ”

She seemed to think of something interesting, smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, and talked about going out with Hanxing, Li Tingyou, and Feng Yan on the day of Qixi Festival.

At that time, Li Tingyou specially sent a gift to Duanmufei, and Duanmufei handed it to the maid without opening it, but Hanxing was a little curious, so he opened it, who knew that a spider crawled out of the box and fell onto Hanxing's skirt, which scared Hanxing so much that he almost fainted.

“…… At that time, Cousin You said innocently, don't the girls like to catch spiders and beggars on the Qixi Festival?! Duanmu Fei said in Li Tingyou's tone, and couldn't help but let out another burst of crisp laughter. Li Tingyou, sometimes it's really a lack of tendons.

My son is so adult, he even gave his cousin a spider! Xin Shi suddenly had an indescribable feeling, and sighed: Brother You, Brother You, how stupid you are! No wonder your little cousin thinks you can't marry a daughter-in-law!

No more fun! It's definitely no fun!

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law glanced at each other, feeling both disappointed and a little funny.

At this moment, Wisteria came in with a curtain and said, "Big girl, fourth girl, Mrs. Tai heard that someone from the Li family was coming, and told the second lady to come and invite." The second lady had already walked to the entrance of the courtyard. ”

Mrs. Li's face sank like water in an instant, and a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes.

Not to mention that in the past few years, the Duanmu family has always treated the sisters slowly, and the eldest daughter's etiquette was actually handled by the two children themselves, which was enough to make Mrs. Li look down on the He family and the little He family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law more and more.

Since people are shameless, Mrs. Li doesn't intend to give the other party face, and said coldly: "Tell your second lady, I came to see my granddaughter, and my granddaughter's ceremony still has a lot of things to do, I'm afraid I don't have time to pass." ”

Wisteria quickly glanced at Duanmu Jun on the side, then bent his knees to receive the order, and retreated with the curtain.

Mrs. Li looked at the jumping Xiangfei curtain, and said angrily: "The steproom is the steproom, and the narrow-mindedness is so narrow-minded, it really can't be put on the stage." "Since you can't accommodate the bloodline of the original match, then don't be a stepmother, and no one will force her with a knife.

Duanmu was stunned, blinked slowly, and realized for a while that the person Mrs. Li was talking about was the He family.

It turns out that the He family is a stepfamily.

For the affairs of this older generation, few people in Jingli have specifically mentioned it, so Duanmu Fei doesn't know anything about it.

She only knew that the He family was very bad to the two sisters, and she obviously didn't like it, but she didn't know the reason, at first, she also had a little doubt, but she didn't care about the He family, so she didn't bother to explore. Unexpectedly, today it was in my grandmother's mouth that she solved a doubt in her heart.

Duanmujun naturally saw Duanmufei's expression of sudden realization, so he explained: "Zhen Zhen, our grandmother's surname is Ning, and she is my grandfather's original partner, and my father passed away when he was three years old...... Later, my grandfather remarried my current grandmother as my stepfamily. ”

"Humph!" Mrs. Li pursed her lips angrily, "That He family, in fact, I'm afraid that I have already fallen in love with your grandfather, not long after your own grandmother passed away, this is still filial piety, the He family sent someone to kiss, and said that your father is young, the child needs someone to take care of him, and the family needs someone to take care of it." ”

"But your grandfather wants to be faced, and he still kept filial piety for your grandmother for a year."

"The He family is also 'in love' with your grandfather, and he has been waiting for a year, and when he got married, he was almost seventeen!"

Mrs. Li gushed about the past that even Duanmujun didn't know, Duanmufei only thought that he was listening to the book, and listened to it with relish, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and swallowed it slowly.

After chatting for a while, Mrs. Li carefully talked to Duanmufei about the etiquette of the ceremony, including the utensils to be used, and the details to be paid attention to, and went to the hall selected by Duanmufei to see the layout.

They had lunch with the sisters, and when Mrs. Li and the Xin family returned home, it was already time, and not long after Li Tingyou also came back from the barracks, the first thing he did was to go to Mrs. Li's courtyard to greet her.

When she saw Li Tingyou on weekdays, Mrs. Li was smiling, but today she frowned and said with disgust: "Brother You, you are such an adult, how can you live like this!" ”

Mrs. Li shook her head, it must be that Brother You'er is not good enough and not old enough, so Sister Fei is unwilling to marry. Such a good granddaughter-in-law flew away in front of her eyes, and Mrs. Li could be said to be heartbroken.

How can he live a high or low life?! Li Tingyou looked at his grandmother in confusion, not knowing what she was stimulated.

Xin also felt that her mother-in-law was reasonable. However, this son is his own, even if he is a little stupid, he can't dislike him!

Xin tried hard to convince himself in his heart, and said as if he was gossiping: "Brother You, your grandmother and I went to see your two cousins today, originally thinking of helping to give your cousin a good ceremony, who knows that your cousin is young, but she is very capable and arranges everything in an orderly manner." Xin said and sighed deliberately, "I don't know which family is so blessed to hire your cousin in the future......"

Li Tingyou couldn't help laughing, and said meaningfully: "It's not, I don't know which family is so 'blessed'." ”

Xin's face was overjoyed, and he was about to say something more, when he heard Li Tingyou continue with a smile: "That little girl, she is the best at pretending!" ”

"Grandmother, mother, you just came to the capital, so I just look at the little girl who is well-behaved on the surface, but in fact, the girl is black sesame...... No, I mean, she's actually a thief! ”

"It's poisonous in the mouth."

"Moreover, this little girl has a lot of ghost ideas, and her mind is twisted and turned, whoever marries will be pitted to death, don't want to escape from her palm in this life!"

Li Tingyou poured out the bitter water in his stomach all at once, looking like "everyone is drunk and I am sober".

After he finished speaking, the room was silent and silent, and a gust of wind blew in violently, pouring cold water on the heads of the two women in the room.

The corners of Mrs. Li and Xin's eyes and mouths twitched one by one, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged a "heart like ashes" look.

This brother is hopeless, he is really a fool, his scarlet cousin is so good, he is like he is blind, he deserves not to marry a daughter-in-law!

The loss is a boy, and he can slowly choose a daughter-in-law for him for a few more years.

Xin's heart was heavy, and there was a little more disgust in his eyes when he looked at Li Tingyou.

Li Tingyou was at a loss by the two pairs of disgusted eyes, he was telling the truth.

Mrs. Li sighed, and changed her words: "Your eldest uncle must have already arrived in Minzhou, and your mother and I plan to wait for your cousin to give a salute before leaving for Minzhou, and you will ......be alone in Beijing in the future."

Li Tingyou said in surprise: "Grandmother, didn't you say yesterday that you would go back after you got married to me, why are you going to leave next month now?" "It's going to be too fast.

One sentence attracted two more contemptuous glances, and Mrs. Li didn't want to explain to this stupid grandson, so she continued: "Anyway, if you are alone in Beijing in the future, you must take good care of your two cousins, and don't let people bully them." Mrs. Li earnestly instructed, and Xin also nodded frequently.

"......" Li Tingyou looked at the two elders speechlessly, and wanted to tell them that it would be good to just take Mufei's little fox and not bully others!

Mrs. Li thought of something again, and continued to advise: "Brother You, you have to do a good job in the capital. "Li Tingyou has done a good job, and when he comes out for Duanmu and Duanmu in the future, his voice can be louder, and his waist can be straighter!

"Grandmother, mother, you don't have to worry about that." Li Tingyou's chin raised slightly, and he smirked, "When I finish this errand, I will be promoted." "There aren't many people like him who can be promoted to the rank of fourth-rank military attaché!

However, Mrs. Li just said "oh", and Xin added another word "good", and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quickly turned the topic to Duanmu's ceremony, and Xin said with great interest: "Mother, I am thinking about Sister Wei'er's ceremony, let's send one more set of noodles, Sister Wei'er's ruby step must be very beautiful......"

Are you just perfunctory?! Li Tingyou looked at his grandmother and mother speechlessly, and the corners of his eyes twitched, is he really their own child?!

What Li Tingyou didn't expect was that the promotion that was originally nine out of ten was finally yellow, not only was he yellow, but he was also beaten with 30 military sticks for delaying the military plane.

After getting the news, the two sisters, Duanmujun and Duanmufei, put down what they were doing and hurried to the Li Mansion in Xiangyun Lane.

Xin was still smiling, and didn't seem to be affected by this incident, talking enthusiastically with the two nieces, and personally brought people to the banquet room.

There are two ice basins in the room, cool and comfortable, surrounded by the lush canopy of trees outside the window, and the sound of cicadas outside is incessant, and there is a sense of tranquility in the hustle and bustle.

Li Tingyou, who was wearing a loose robe, was lying on the beauty couch, and his thick black hair was tied up with a blue ribbon at will.

Mrs. Li sat on a rosewood chair by the window.

When watching the two cousins come in, Li Tingyou on the beauty couch couldn't help but hear the prestige, his face was a little stiff, and he felt a little embarrassed, and he couldn't help but think of the scene when he and Duanmu Fei met for the first time a year ago.

At that time, he was seriously injured in Jiangcheng and did not recover, and he pretended to be fine, but he was broken by Duanmufei...... Even he couldn't compare which was more humiliating.

The Duanmufei sisters greeted Mrs. Li and Li Tingyou one by one, and after sitting down, Duanmufei stared at Li Tingyou on the beauty couch and asked bluntly: "Cousin You, what is going on?" ”

Li Tingyou's dark eyes wandered for a moment, his handsome face was a little awkward, and he said dryly: "...... The errand was wrong, so the military plane was delayed. ”

Based on Duanmufei's understanding of Li Tingyou, although her cousin is duplicitous, pretending, and wronged, she is by no means a person who does not know the seriousness.

It can be big or small to delay military aircraft, Li Tingyu was born in the general's gate, how can he make such a mistake!

Duanmu squinted, watching Li Tingyou's eyes become sharper and sharper, and said sharply: "Shouldn't it be calculated?" ”

"......" Li Tingyou looked at Duanmu and twitched the corners of his eyes, and he didn't know how many times he had a feeling of "indescribable".

This little cousin of his, isn't just a fox, he's a vixen at all?!

Xin was also a little surprised by Duanmu Fei's astuteness, and his eyebrows were slightly raised.

Li Tingyou glanced at Xin quickly, and said with his eyes, he said it a long time ago, Duanmu Fei is a cousin with black sesame stuffing!

"Scarlet cousin, how could it be!" Li Tingyou smiled casually.

Duanmu curled the corners of his lips with a smile, and then asked, "Cousin You, then what did you do?" ”

Li Tingyou cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Cousin Scarlet, this is a military aircraft, and it is not enough for outsiders." ”

The corners of Duanmufei's mouth curled higher, turned his head to look at Duanmuxuan, and asked with a crooked face, "Sister, do you believe it?" ”

If this were usual, Li Tingyou's smile might be a little convincing, but when he was lying weakly on the beauty couch now, even Duanmujun didn't feel convincing, and asked directly: "Cousin You, what happened?" ”

Under the burning gaze of two pairs of black eyes, Li Tingyou was completely defeated and said what had happened.

His errand was to go to Baichuan County, two hundred miles away, to suppress bandits, which was originally a trivial matter.

However, after arriving in Baichuan County, Li Tingyou learned some hidden secrets.

A few months ago, the emperor issued a conscription order, according to the rules, a family should be conscripted a man, and each household should be given a penny as a settling-in fee. In order to corrupt the money allocated by the imperial court, the local government reported a few more households, so that the number of soldiers was dissatisfied, and in the end, they simply pulled away all the men in the family to make up the number.

The male is the main labor force of the family, however, the government took away the male men of the family, but did not give the family allowance, and had to go door to door to collect grain for the military, forcing those people to a desperate situation, so some people rebelled and rushed into the government to snatch back the requisitioned grain.

After finding out the truth, Li Tingyou was somewhat sympathetic to these people, and wondered if he could try to recruit these "mobs" before fighting.

After Li Tingyou discussed with Han Shirui, who came out on an errand this time, he ordered the soldiers under his command to stay still for the time being, and at the same time, let people hurry back to Beijing to understand the situation of Shangguan.

However, Han Shirui stabbed him twice, on the one hand, he intercepted Li Tingyou's military report, and on the other hand, in the dead of night that night, he personally led a team to raid the group of "mobs" and killed all these people.

After returning to Beijing, Han Shirui first complained, saying that Li Tingyou was stationed for three days without moving, and he was clearly suspected of neglecting military affairs, and took all the credit on himself.

Li Tingyou was accused of "delaying the military plane", and this is still for the sake of the Li family, so he just caned Li Tingyou with 30 military sticks.

After Li Tingyou finished speaking, no one spoke in the room for a while, only the sharp sound of cicadas echoed around.

Duanmu raised his right eyebrows, gently brushed the floating leaves on the tea soup with the tea lid, and asked slowly and casually, "It seems that Han Shirui has been promoted?" ”

Duanmu Fei still remembers the name Han Shirui.

During the hunt last autumn, Han Shirui won the emperor's appreciation because he hunted a white-fronted tiger with hanging eyes, and was named the general of the Shenshu battalion, but this person had a bad heart and deliberately led the black bear to Fengyan during the night hunt......

Li Tingyou's voice was a little dry, and he shrugged his shoulders casually, and said, "He has just been promoted to the fourth rank to command the officer. There was a faint hint of unwillingness in his eyes, and his right fist was subconsciously clenched.

A streamer flashed in Duanmu's big black eyes, and the long, half-drooping eyelashes left a faint shadow on the white cheeks, as if there was a deep groan.
