The old lady took Li Changhe and Ai Xinlian to walk in the Li Mansion, which was full of flowers in the past and is now deserted.

Everyone knows that Li Changhe has been abandoned by the emperor, and the young master, young grandmother and young lady can't help the quarrel between the master and Ai Xinlian, and move to live in her grandfather's house.

As for the inferior slaves and maids who were in charge of sprinkling and sweeping, they were even more yin and yang behind them and said strange words about pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.

The old lady deliberately let Li Changhe and Ai Xinlian listen to these words, so she deliberately did not allow the housekeeper to stop them.

And Li Changhe and Ai Xinlian walked all the way, listened to countless gossip, and saw that the once lively courtyard was only full of purple and red flowers, and they felt uncomfortable.

Ai Xinlian couldn't help but comfort Li Changhe: "It's all my fault, if it weren't for me, everyone wouldn't have left......"

"What stupid things are you talking about?"

Li Changhe held Ai Xinlian's hand: "All the mistakes are caused by us together, and we have to bear them together." ”

When Ai Xinlian heard this, she was even more moved, leaned on Li Changhe, and said, "Fortunately, my mother is willing to forgive us." ”

"As long as we are together, as long as our mother is still on our side, we will still be a complete family!"

"Yes, we're still a family!"

The two were once again unattended.

The old lady saw hatred in her eyes and hatred in her heart, and directly crushed the Buddha beads in her hand.

……

Walking all the way to the main hall, the old lady sat the two of them down and said, "Although I want to fulfill you, some rules still have to be made clear. ”

"Mother, please speak—"

"You haven't married so far, but you've been hugging and hugging in front of people all day long, what kind of system is this!"

"Mother, we can't help ourselves, we-"

"I can't care about the past, but from now on, you have to listen to my rules!"

The old lady waved her hand and said: "Since you haven't married yet, you can't meet in private, and the same is true after you get married. ”

Although the Daqing Dynasty did not explicitly stipulate the general defense of men and women, large families did require men and women to maintain dignified manners in public, and there was nothing wrong with the old lady's request, Li Changhe and Ai Xinlian naturally agreed.

After agreeing to the call, Li Changhe asked the old lady: "Mother, when do you plan to marry us?" ”

"If you have a wife, you should discuss this matter with your wife, since there is no concubine, then the concubine must also be in a proper manner, and you must not be sloppy." ”

“……”

For some reason, Li Changhe listened to his mother's words, and he gasped in his heart.

Ai Xinlian was overjoyed, and kowtowed again and again to thank her: "Thank you, old lady, for your grace!" I will be filial to the old lady in the future! ”

"Get up!"

The old lady said lukewarmly.

Li Changhe was worried about the long nights and dreams, and said to the old lady: "Our love for each other is the most important thing, etiquette is not very important, mother might as well choose a good day for us to bring in." Kneeling three times and knocking nine times all the way, plus serving tea, is also too ......"

"Out of the way! Out of the way! I can stand it! ”

Ai Xinlian's attitude was extremely humble: "For you, I'm not afraid of death, just kneeling down and saluting or something, do I still need to care?" ”

The old lady also said: "A concubine is a concubine, and the etiquette that a concubine needs to do is already a bow!" I just let her adapt to the status of a concubine in advance, why did I humiliate her? ”

"Mother's ......"

Li Changhe looked at Ai Xinlian with tears.

Ai Xinlian also looked at Li Changhe affectionately.

If it weren't for the old lady's words, I'm afraid the two of them would be holding hands again at this moment.

The old lady saw that Ai Xinlian and Li Changhe finally accepted her suggestion, so she said to Ai Xinlian: "From now on, you will continue to go back to your fragrant Xiaozhu to live until you get married!" ”

"Yes, old lady."

Ai Xinlian just wanted to marry Li Changhe, and she didn't have any complaints.

Subsequently, the old lady sent her son away again, and called the maids who were waiting in the fragrant small building, and made it clear that Ai Xinlian is just a common sinner now, and she will also be a concubine and aunt in the future, and the maids can't break the rules when they work, but they can't give Ai Xinlian too much dignity.

The maids are submissive.

The old lady laughed unfathomably.

After handling Ai Xinlian's affairs completely, the old lady found her son and asked gently, but also unrefusably: "Son, have you ever regretted today?" ”

"Mother, as long as the son is with Xinlian, no matter how much pain there is, he is willing," Li Changhe said, "If my mother can accept Xinlian with me, my son will have nothing to ask for." ”

"Nothing more......"

The old lady smiled bitterly and said, "Do you know what the capital is talking about you now?" ”

"As long as the mother doesn't take these gossip to heart, my son won't talk about us unexpectedly!"

Li Changhe is righteous and awe-inspiring.

The old lady was full of emotion, and said: "I am your mother, I hate you, scold you, and beat you because I love you, and when I hear those rumors, I am also ...... I...... To be honest, although I blame Ai Xinlian for causing you, but if you think about it carefully, you have to admire her! ”

"Mother!"

Li Changhe was overjoyed, thinking that the old lady had recognized Ai Xinlian.

"She is indeed not an ordinary woman who can do this for you," said the old lady, "even if I have thousands of dissatisfaction with her, I have to admire her when I think of her duty to you." ”

"So, mother, are you willing to accept Xinlian?"

"Love is not wrong, it's just your ...... love"

The old lady sighed, unwilling to continue.

"Mother still thinks—"

"It's not impossible for people who love each other to want to be together, but have you ever thought about your future? The past is gone, I don't want to care about it, I can't care about it, but do you want your reputation to become the laughing stock of others after dinner? Would your children describe you as strangers? A martial artist can't continue to gallop on the battlefield! ”

"Nope! Of course not! ”

Li Changhe was aroused by the old lady's words.

The old lady asked again, "Then how are you going to remedy it?" How to break the game? ”

“…… I ......"

Li Changhe was silent.

It is not difficult to break the situation, as long as he cuts off his love for Ai Xinlian and drives out the woman who the emperor and the queen mother don't want to be left to fend for herself, his future and his family affection can come back!

But he-

He can't do it!!

The old lady then said to Li Changhe: "The boy is ambitious in all directions, you used to have Xuanning to take care of everything for you, you can gallop on the battlefield to your heart's content, and now Xinlian loves you to the bone, after all, she will understand your difficulties and become your virtuous helper!" At the very least, I will make her the most sensible and mature concubine by your side! ”
