Li Tingyou came suddenly today, and Duanmujun was inevitably a little surprised, but he still ordered Wisteria to hurry up to meet him. *With* Dream *Small* Say .lā

Duanmu Fei vaguely guessed something, but just smiled and said nothing.

The two sisters went to Yongxi Hall together, and after Li Tingyou greeted the He family, they took him to sit in the gazebo in the garden.

Above are a few large trees that shade the sky and the sun, and the pavilion built near the water is cool and comfortable.

Li Tingyou wore an azure blue treasure flower carved silk brocade robe today, it seemed that the sun was bright, and the waves of yesterday's longevity banquet did not seem to leave a shadow on him.

After the three cousins sat down, Li Tingyou said with a smile: "The lotus tea that the two cousins gave me last time was very mellow, and this morning I saw that the tea canister had bottomed out, so I cheekily made an uninvited guest, and came to my cousin to ask for another can." ”

It has only been ten days since Li Tingyou last came to the door, and this remark is an excuse when I hear it. Duanmu scarlet secretly slandered.

But Duanmujun seemed to be serious, and said with a smile: "It's rare that my cousin likes it, I'll take two more cans for my cousin." ”

Wisteria just ran to Zhanqing Courtyard to get lotus tea on the front foot, and Mama Zhang came with a food box on the back foot, brought bird's nest red date and lotus seed soup to the masters, and waited diligently on the side.

At first, Li Tingyou didn't feel that something was wrong, but gradually, he vaguely felt the posture of "shh

Is this girl talking about something? Li Tingyou looked at Duanmufei and raised his right eyebrow.

Oh, yes. Duanmu Fei did not shy away from looking directly at him, a pair of big eyes were clear and innocent, even if she didn't say what happened on the Halloween, she couldn't hide it, so many people heard and witnessed it, and it is estimated that it will be known to everyone in Beijing in a few days.

The corner of Li Tingyou's eyes twitched, the problem is that this girl must have said half and hid half of it!

If she had said that she had deliberately lost the fight, they wouldn't have taken such good care of him as if he were an enamel doll...... This girl really plucked herself clean!

Li Tingyou felt an inexplicable unhappiness in his heart, but he still maintained a personable appearance.

Seeing this, the corners of Duanmu's mouth curled higher, and he suddenly felt that fortunately, this cousin of the Li family liked to "pretend", which also saved her a lot of tongue.

She drank her bird's nest porridge with satisfaction, and sighed with satisfaction: the chef's skills in the small kitchen are really growing, and this bowl of bird's nest is cooked mellow, delicate and smooth......

Halfway through the bird's nest porridge, a little maid hurriedly trotted over and said to Duanmu, "Big girl, Mama Cheng is here." ”

Mama Cheng is the housekeeper in charge of the kitchen, and since she came to Duanmujun, she naturally has something to discuss.

Duanmu Jun smiled apologetically at Li Tingyou, "Cousin You, forgive me for missing me, I'll go back when I go." Then she told Duanmu Fei, "Zhen Zhen, you treat your cousin well." ”

Duanmu Fei wiped his mouth with an embroidered handkerchief, and responded with a smile.

"Cousin, please take care of yourself." Li Tingyou smiled gently.

After Duanmujun walked away, Duanmufei made a gesture very "intimately", and the green pothos understood, and casually found an excuse to call Mama Zhang away, and then, Bi Cicada also withdrew from the pavilion and stayed under a big tree three or four zhang away.

However, in less than half a cup of tea, only Duanmu Fei and Li Tingyou were left in the pavilion, and the rustle of the wind blowing the trees echoed all around, and the originally hot air gradually cooled down.

Duanmu Fei seemed to be unaware of it, and continued to eat bird's nest porridge.

Li Tingyou took out a moon-white handkerchief from his sleeve and threw it casually in front of Duanmufei, which was also stained with some red rouge, which was the one that Duanmufei asked the maid to quietly hand to him yesterday.

"Scarlet cousin," Li Tingyou said in a earnestly instructive tone, "a little girl must be careful in how she behaves, and she must not give her own handkerchief to others casually!" ”

Duanmufei just finished eating the last spoonful of bird's nest porridge and rinsed his mouth with tea before he spoke: "Cousin You, I see that this handkerchief looks like Songjiang Sansuo cloth." ”

"So what?" Li Tingyou asked rhetorically.

Duanmu Fei knew that this cousin didn't know anything about the material, sighed, and kindly explained: "There is a saying in Jiangnan, 'You can't buy Songjiang cloth, you can't collect Weitang yarn'. This Songjiang three shuttle cloth is the most ordinary. And the rouge on this handkerchief looks like it came from the Furong Hall in the capital, right? This rouge from Furong Hall is easy to use and cheap, although the girls in Beijing can't say that everyone has a box, but five or six out of ten should still have it. ”

Li Tingyou understood after hearing it, this girl was saying that even if this handkerchief was "picked up" by others, she would be able to skim it clean.

The corner of Li Tingyou's eyes twitched, and he couldn't talk to this little fox at all.

After clearing his throat, he simply stopped going around in circles and asked bluntly: "Cousin Scarlet, yesterday's longevity banquet ...... What do you think? ”

"Cousin You, what's the trouble with the Li family in Minzhou?" Duanmu Fei didn't answer the rhetorical question, and his tone was casual, as if he asked casually.

But Li Tingyou's pupils shrank, and the surprise that couldn't be concealed was already half answered in silence - something happened to the Li family.

Duanmufei was not in a hurry, and picked up a piece of red bean osmanthus muffin, ate it slowly, and took a sip of hot tea from time to time, which was very comfortable and satisfied, and looked like a satisfied little milk cat, leisurely.

Li Tingyou also quickly calmed down, squinted his eyes and glanced at Duanmu Fei, and was secretly annoyed in his heart: This little fox! I didn't get any words from her, but I was tricked.

The breeze on the pond blew, and there was silence for a moment.

Li Tingyou seemed to drink half a cup of tea leisurely, with a slight hesitation in his eyes.

This matter is very important, even if it is the Li family, not many people know about it, and his grandfather and father have told him......

Duanmufei couldn't see his hesitation, and became more and more sure in his heart that this matter of the Li family was probably not simple......

"Cousin Scarlet," I don't know how long it took, Li Tingyou finally spoke, and said in a homely manner with Duanmu Fei, "How much do you know about your eldest aunt?" ”

Li Tingyou is the son of Li Chuanting, the second master of the Li family, and Mrs. Li is his eldest aunt and the eldest aunt of the Duanmujun sisters.

Li Jiayuan is in Minzhou, the original Duanmu Fei is not familiar with them, and even Chu Qingci has only heard of one or two.

Li Tingyou couldn't see whether she really didn't know, or pretended not to know, so he simply didn't want to, and said bluntly: "The eldest aunt is the concubine of the Marquis of Wuning, and the current Marquis of Wuning is the brother of his mother's compatriots. He paused and said, "The Marquis of Wuning has been stationed in the north for several generations, eight years ago, the father of the Marquis of Wuning, that is, the eldest aunt, died on the battlefield in the battle with the northern Pu State, and then, the heirs of the Marquis of the Hou Mansion were favored by the emperor, and the title was not demoted, inherited by the eldest son, and the second son also entered the army, and now serves as a general. ”

Hearing the word "Pu Guo", a touch of pathos flashed in Duanmushuang's eyes, but it was quickly concealed.

At this time, I heard Li Tingyou coldly throw out an astonishing sentence, "In fact, the Marquis of Xianwu Ning collaborated with the enemy and treason eight years ago, and the evidence of the crime is conclusive......

He seemed to be light and light, and there was a hint of mockery and disdain in his demeanor. For the sake of the general, he should protect his family and defend the country, but he forgot his righteousness and collaborated with the enemy to commit treason, which is an unforgivable crime!

Duanmu Fei was startled at first, followed the thoughts and flew around, and in an instant he figured out something, and said thoughtfully: "So, the Li family hid it?" ”

This little girl knows a little bit, and she's really clever and not cute at all! Shouldn't a girl be as well-behaved and sweet as a little milk cat? The corner of Li Tingyou's eyes twitched, and he bowed slightly.

After sorting out his thoughts, he continued:

"When three cities were lost in the north, the emperor ordered my grandfather and my father to lead troops to support, but they found that the Marquis of Xianwu Ning collaborated with the enemy and treason......"

In order to protect the family of Wuning Hou, the old lady Li and the second master Li Chuanting deliberately let the Hou of Wu Ning die on the battlefield at the hands of the enemy, and finally won the reputation of a loyal martyr.

And Mrs. Li was also promoted to the commander-in-chief of Minzhou because of his outstanding military achievements.

Not many people knew about this, but four years ago, somehow, it reached the ears of Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li wholeheartedly believed that the Li family deliberately killed Marquis Wu Ning, in order to monopolize military merits. Afterwards, Mrs. Li explained the situation to Mrs. Li openly and honestly, and Mrs. Li seemed to believe it......

Originally, it had been fine all these years, until a while ago, when Master Li found out that the eldest lady had quietly sold all the dowry in her name. Although the Li family is not rich and noble, it is not to the point of using the dowry of the female dependents to make up for it, and when I checked the back, I found that the silver money in the public middle school was almost empty, and more than 100,000 taels of silver were missing......

It's just that before this matter could be clarified, Li Tingyou left Minzhou and came to the capital.

Li Tingyou said slowly, for a long time, there was only his voice in the pavilion, and the wind around seemed to be still.

“…… Over the years, the Li family has been in charge of the eldest aunt......" Li Tingyou's eyes were slightly cold, and his tone was calm, "You and your sister have not received the Li family's gifts for three years, if the problem is with the Li family, it must be because of the eldest aunt." ”

Duanmu Fei understood what Li Tingyou meant.

On the surface, Mrs. Li may have believed Mrs. Li's words, but in her heart, she was afraid that she had always believed that the death of Marquis Xianwu Ning was killed by the Li family. If this is the case, I am afraid that the dowry sold and the money that was quietly misappropriated in the public are other intentions......

Li Tingyou must be suspecting that yesterday's palace banquet was arranged by Mrs. Li, in order to ruin him and the Li family!

The corners of Duanmu's mouth always had a shallow smile, and after a moment, he asked, "Cousin You, is there an old relationship between Li Yushi and Wuning Marquis Mansion?" ”

The Marquis of Wuning is a generation of military generals, and he has a lot of connections in the army, but since ancient times, civilian, official and military generals are incompatible.

This matter is probably not small......

Li Tingyou also understood the meaning of Duanmufei's words, and his heart surged again, and he shook his head: "The Marquis of Wuning Mansion is stationed in the north all the year round, but Li Yushi is from the capital, and the two sides are thousands of miles apart. When I returned to Xiangyun Lane, I wrote a handwritten letter, indicating the cause and effect, and sent someone to send a letter back to Minzhou...... There may be something hidden in this that I don't know about. ”

As he spoke, Li Tingyou once again recalled in his mind a series of recent events, all of which originated from the "danger of Jiangcheng......

Li Tingyou couldn't help but think of another troublesome matter.

He looked down at the handkerchief of the Songjiang Sansuo cloth on the stone table with some hesitation, Jun's face wrinkled, and finally decided to break the jar.

Anyway, since the first meeting, he doesn't have the dignity of a cousin here in this little cousin, so it's better to "ask without shame".
