Chapter 16
The sound of firecrackers in Taiyuan Mansion, the bustling street market is full of colorful flags and colorful buildings, and ten horse-drawn carriages creak and crunch heavily across the street, and come to the front of the courtyard where the Li Mansion is hanging.
Li Fengjing stood under the porch in a fur coat and watched the carriage lift the thick felt cloth.
"Fourth master, this is for the eldest lady and the eldest aunt." The escort steward rubbed the frost on his face, handed over a booklet, and took out another one, "These are from the Metropolitan Governor to the fourth master." ”
Li Fengjing smiled reservedly: "This kid is polite to me." ”
The steward smiled respectfully: "The fourth master has worked hard to take care of the eldest lady here." ”
Li Fengjing didn't be polite anymore, the fourth master was sincerely afraid that he wouldn't see anything now, and nodded and took over the people standing in the courtyard: "Arrange for everyone to rest." ”
The people in the courtyard should be in unison, and the people who are hugging Jiannan Road retreat.
Li Fengjing still had a thick and thin account book on the table, and it was too hot to open half of the window to see that the carriage was being unloaded in the courtyard.
The entourage brought by Li Fengjing from home poured the tea, and Steward Jiang stretched it out and took it away.
"Fourth master, do you order it yourself?" Steward Jiang handed the tea to Li Fengjing and asked.
Because of the common secret, the marrying steward Jiang who came to Jiannan Road all the way has become a trusted person by Li Fengjing.
Li Fengjing shook his head: "There's no need." "Just look at the account book on the table, the thick one.
"Then send it to the eldest lady and eldest aunt now?" Steward Jiang asked.
Li Fengjing's fingers gently twisted through one page, two pages, three pages, and four pages..... The finger stopped and put down one or two pages, and after a few deliberations, it finally settled, and the account book opened with a snap, and pointed to half of the account book: "Send these to the eldest lady and aunt." Then he pointed to the other half, "The others will stay here first, and I will keep them for the eldest lady first." ”
The Xiang family is not really the eldest lady, and it is reasonable for the eldest lady's things to be kept here, after all, this is the mansion of the Li family in Jiannan Province.
Hearing him say this, Steward Jiang from Jiannan Road did not object at all: "I'll send it to the eldest lady." ”
There was a bustle in the courtyard, and Steward Jiang left with two carriages.
The entourage stretched out his hand: "Fourth master, the little one goes and puts our warehousing in the warehouse." ”
Li Fengjing nodded reservedly, and his entourage happily took the account book on the table in his hand, although he was not as powerful as the big housekeeper at home, but he handled much more money than the big housekeeper.
"Fourth master, the New Year's goods have been sent to Jiannan Road and Jiangling Mansion, and it will be fifteen soon, and the fun objects in Taiyuan Mansion will be sent to the Metropolitan Governor and the old lady?" He proposed again.
Li Fengjing hummed absently: "You pick it first, I don't have time to see those miscellaneous people." ”
Master Li Si is very noble, not everything can be seen.
The resounding response of the entourage was that there was an entourage outside the door with a few posts: "Fourth master, there is the Wang family of Taiyuan Mansion, the big shopkeeper of Longsheng, and the Huang Tui official of the government office, please enjoy the plum." ”
Li Fengjing lazily looked out the window: "It's interesting to enjoy this plum when it snows, what is there to appreciate now, tell them that when it snows, I will set up a banquet for them." ”
Li Fengjing's door was very lively in and out, and the carriage from Li's house was also lively when it arrived at Xiang's house, and it was also lively when it came to Xiang's mansion and came to a separate courtyard.
There is the word "star" on the courtyard.
This is after learning that Li Minglou is going to marry, the old lady Xiang specially ordered Li Minglou to sort out the house, the Xiang family is a century-old family in Taiyuan Mansion, the house handed down for a hundred years is simple and vicissitudes, and because the many residences of the descendants of a hundred years are a little narrow, the house for Li Minglou occupies half of the garden, it is very broad, standing on the pavilion can see the ancient trees and rocks, and there is a unique flavor in winter.
Li Mingqi sat by the window in a small jacket and did not look at the scene, but looked at the account book handed by Nian'er.
"Miss, the things are still in the yard, do you want to check the restocking?" Nian'er said happily, "Our treasury can be filled." ”
It should have been filled up a long time ago, but unfortunately the dowry was lost halfway, and now that something was finally delivered, Nian'er felt that her heart was also filled, and she felt heavy and comfortable.
Li Mingqi didn't cover her face anymore, the warm room made her face ruddy, and her little nose twisted and snorted: "What's full, the things sent here are too bad." Snapping the account book shut, "My fourth uncle really can't be an elder." ”
Nian'er's mind understood a little: "The fourth master actually deducted the eldest lady's things!" He's so bold. ”
But after boldly speaking, he was empty-hearted.
"It's just that we're not really the eldest lady."
So what can they do if they are not really the eldest lady, if there are fewer things, they will have less, these are also things they have never had.
Li Mingqi stretched out his hand to poke the forehead of the girl who was not interested: "I'm not really the eldest lady, so he should rely on me, now I'm not on the road, I have been seen by the people of Taiyuan Mansion, entered the gate of the Xiang family, and worshiped the ancestors of the Xiang family, he, who is an elder, doesn't he know what is important?" ”
Nian'er only understands one sentence, the fourth master is relying on them now, they don't have to be afraid of the fourth master?
So how do you do that?
Li Mingqi patted the account book in her arms: "Go, tell the fourth uncle that I am now the daughter-in-law of the Xiang family, and the things sent by the family should not be placed in the Li house, so as not to make the family look angry." ”
Nian'er was stunned, is it okay?
Li Mingqi winked at her: "You can try it, see if the fourth uncle dares not to give it." ”
Nian'er was eager to try with the account book, and a girl outside the door shouted: "Uncle is here." ”
Li Mingqi hurriedly got up, looked at the door with a smile on his face, and Xiang Nan walked in with the curtain raised.
They have already married, but because Li Minglou is young and has filial piety, they will have a round house after three years, so the two do not live together, but Xiang Nan will come over occasionally.
"It's cold today, and it's about to snow." Li Mingqi said, instructing Nian'er, "Make a cup of tea that Mingyu just sent." ”
Nian'er hugged the account book and retreated.
Xiang Nan looked at the girl standing against the table in front of the window, with a pink face and a red jacket and a pomegranate skirt, and the narcissus in the corner of the table was in full bloom, which was bright and beautiful.
She looked happy.
"You're not angry at all?" Xiang Nan sat down and asked.
Xiang Nan didn't come much, and he didn't talk much, he only talked about the weather to eat and drink, this is the first time to ask people's hearts, so people's hearts get along with each other for time, Li Mingqi frowned slightly and was puzzled: "Why are you angry?" ”
Xiang Nandao: "You left home and came here to ..... for others."
Li Mingqi smiled lightly: "Xiang Gongzi, that's no one else, it's my sister." ”
"It's marriage, not anything else." Xiang Nan asked, "Do you want to come yourself?" In addition to your sister and the Li family, what about yourself? What do you think? ”
Li Mingqi tilted her head and thought about it, the little girl was weak and confused: "Without the Li family, there would be no me." ”
is a silly girl raised in the deep boudoir, Xiang Nan sighed lightly, what does she know, not everyone can be as domineering as Li Minglou.
"It's good if you're happy." He said, getting up to take his leave.
Li Mingqi didn't keep it, and sent it out with a smile, and it was a pity that Nian'er walked to the porch with the tea: "Xiang Gongzi didn't drink tea again." ”
Li Mingqi took a sip of tea: "Don't be in a hurry, it's not at this time to drink tea." ”
For a lifetime.
"What did Xiang Gongzi and Miss say?" Nian'er asked curiously.
Li Mingqi grinned: "He's pitying me." ”
It's so nice to be a woman, weak, pitiful and helpless, how can you live without a man.
The New Year's gift of Taiyuan Mansion first arrived in Jiannan Road, and then sent to Nanyi, where Xiang Yun was stationed.
The New Year's gifts and family letters of the Xiang family in Taiyuan Mansion were all placed in the house, Xiang Yun only picked up the shoes made by his wife and put them on, and did not look at the letters from the family, but only asked: "Is there a whereabouts of Li Minglou?" Where did Li Mingyu go? ”
The entourage sighed in his heart, it was really surprising that the Metropolitan Governor went to the capital and did not let Xiang Yun accompany him, nor did he even recall him back to Jiannan Dao.
"Miss Minglou still has no whereabouts, the little boy Mingyu is still brewing wine in Quanzhou, in order to find the eldest lady, General Yan plans to send another group of soldiers and horses." He told the news one by one.
Xiang Yun stroked the corner of the table: "The soldiers and horses sent here still have nothing to do with our Longyou, right?" ”
The attendant bowed his head in response.
They seem to have been forgotten.
"Only the dead will be forgotten." Xiang Yun said, he stood up, "I'm not dead yet." ”
Then someone else has to die.
