Chapter Thirty-Nine: Ushering In
Xiang Nan officially visited Mrs. Li on the second day, Xiang Jiuding was accompanied, and more than a dozen subordinates carried large and small gifts.
Mrs. Li sat and waited with a smile, Li Fengchang and Li Fengjing husband and wife were divided into left and right, the four young masters of the Li family greeted each other, the young ladies and two sisters-in-law and two little girls who had just left stood in the hall and looked.
Li Minglou refused whether Mrs. Li wanted to come out to meet the guests, and thanked the Zuo family and quietly asked to bring Xiang Nan here to talk, what she said was what she said, Mrs. Li and the Zuo family no longer insisted on it, and Mrs. Li also preferred that Li Minglou and Xiang Nan would not meet now.
This is the first time Li Minglou and Xiang Nan have met.
"I hurt my face, it's a pity to see each other like this, let's wait a little better." Mrs. Li leaned on the pillow and looked around, looking at her granddaughters-in-law and granddaughters, all of whom were in a good year, "You are all dressed up beautifully, the sisters are so good-looking, she is naturally beautiful." β
There is no woman who doesn't like to dress up beautifully, especially when she sees guests, her granddaughters-in-law and granddaughters all smile in response.
"The girls are cheering up, too." Mrs. Li became more and more interested.
This is also the first time that the Li family has seen Xiang Nan.
Mrs. Li looked at the young man in front of her, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and she couldn't help crying: "It's a pity that your father-in-law didn't see you." β
Li Minglou's family affairs were decided by Li Feng'an before his death, and he didn't have this mind in the past, and naturally he didn't see the Xiang family's son-in-law.
Xiang Nandao: "When the governor was buried, the sixth uncle burned my portrait to him. β
With a cluck, there was a girl's laughter in the hall, and the next moment it was hastily covered.
Old Madam Li glared at Li Mingqi, who covered her mouth with her hands and turned her head to lie on Li Minghua's shoulder.
Xiang Nan retracted his gaze and looked not dissatisfied or embarrassed, and Mrs. Li glanced at him, and she couldn't hold back her snort.
The young man's answer was really serious and strange.
Zuo said: "Mother, today is a happy day. β
Old Madam Li breathed a sigh of relief from her words, and looked at Xiang Nan with loving eyes: "Your father-in-law is watching from the sky, you two are fine, and he will be happy." β
Xiang Nan leaned over and saluted, and the old lady said yes.
Lin smiled and corrected: "Call grandmother." β
Xiang Nan and Li Minglou's relationship has been decided, and it is natural to call them grandmothers.
Xiang Nan called out to his grandmother, and Mrs. Li smiled and pulled Xiang Nan to sit beside her, pointing to the Lin family: "This is your fourth aunt." β
Xiang Nan got up and saluted Lin, Lin smiled and took the gifts that the girl had prepared a long time ago, and the room began to introduce the elders and peers, cousins, cousins and nieces one by one, receiving gifts to each other and giving gifts, the girls served tea and poured water, and the butterflies shuttled and laughed and were happy.
Almost all the people are gathered around the old lady's courtyard, those who are qualified to enter are lively inside, and those who are not qualified to laugh outside, Li Minglou is the most curious existence of the Li family, and Xiang Nan, as Li Minglou's fiancΓ©, is naturally also.
"I saw that the posture of dismounting in front of the door is the same as when the eldest master was young, and it will be extraordinary in the future."
"Mrs. Liu, when the eldest lord was young, you still burned charcoal with your dead ghost on the village in the mountains, where can you see the eldest lord."
"Oh, the eldest master went to Zhuangzi last time."
"How could the eldest lord go to the Zhuangzi in the mountains? Don't talk nonsense. β
"How can I talk nonsense, I'm also strange, the eldest master was still young at that time, and suddenly he ran to us alone to do something, as if he was looking for someone."
There were only two mothers-in-law left in the back door, and they didn't dare to go to the old lady's side to join in the fun, so they only took advantage of no one's attention to secretly drink two bowls of water and wine, and their chattering and laughter were interrupted.
"Hey, open the door."
The two mothers-in-law got up in a panic, knocked over the wine bowl on the small table, looked at the young man who came over at some point and the carriage behind him, and gave a salute uneasily: "Uncle Fang." β
Fang Er ignored the overturned wine bowl and the diffuse smell of wine: "Open the door." β
The two mothers-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, the eldest man's people didn't listen to the family's call, and at the same time, they didn't care about the people and things in the family, as long as they respected, the two mothers-in-law opened the door quickly, and Fang Er drove out in the car.
The carriage is very ordinary and familiar, these days Li Minglou often takes this car out, and the two mothers-in-law stand by the door and watch, thinking of this, stunned.
So this is Li Minglou going out?
"Now?" The two mothers-in-law looked at each other, looked surprised, and looked inside, the old lady's courtyard was feasting, and the sound from the wind was more lively.
Xiang Nan's son, who came for his fiancΓ©e, was a guest at home, and his fiancΓ©e Li Minglou went out alone?
"It's empty." A mother-in-law guessed in a wit, "Didn't the people from Jiannan Dao come to live in the courtyard outside the city, the old lady, the second old man, and the second lady all pulled back a lot of things from there yesterday, and Uncle Fang also went to pull things." β
This guess was reasonable, and the two mothers-in-law smiled at each other and closed the door.
Crossing the mezzanine to the street, Motoyoshi was already waiting.
"In such a hurry?" Li Minglou asked in the car.
"Ji Liang said that he has nothing to clean up, he has no relatives here, and he doesn't need to say goodbye or entrust him." Yuan Ji said, "Miss doesn't need to send him off, I'll arrange it." β
Li Minglou knew that he was worried about his body, and her health had nothing to do with how much she rested, so he thanked Yuan Ji for his kindness: "I still want to send him." β
Seeing Li Minglou's carriage coming, Ji Liang was already impatient to wait, thinking that it would be too much: "Could it be that Miss Li will still disagree?" She invited me to go. β
Fang Er held an umbrella, and Li Minglou walked down and responded: "I'm here to see Mr. Ji." β
Ji Liang thanked him politely, and then got up: "It's been sent, can you go?" He turned back and called out to the small bowl, "Go and pack your things." β
"I can't finish it today." Xiao Wan said in a muffled voice.
Li Minglou looked behind Ji Liang, with the wounded cloth removed from his head, and his hair was like a young man's bowl gnawed by a dog, and his head was lowered.
It's very difficult and sad to leave your homeland.
Ji Liang stood in place and paced impatiently, "If you can't finish cleaning up, I won't wait for you, you clean up slowly, I'll go first." β
Li Minglou said: "Let's help clean up the small bowl." β
Ji Liang nodded and said okay, Yuan Ji suspected that he didn't hear what Li Minglou said at all, and Xiao Wan was just silent.
"I'll go to the car and wait." Ji Liang put away his impatience and put on a calm posture, "If I think about it for too long, maybe I will regret it." β
Li Minglou smiled: "Yes." β
Ji Liang immediately walked towards the parked car on the other side.
"Sir, wait a minute." Li Minglou said busily.
Ji Liang just wanted to pretend that he couldn't hear and get into the car, but Yuanji stood in front of the car and blocked the road.
"Sir, is it voluntary to want to be in the south of the sword?" Li Minglou looked at him and asked.
Ji Liang frowned: "Of course." β
"Is the gentleman well?" Li Minglou asked.
She had a lot of patients, and Ji Liang endured: "Of course." β
Li Minglou nodded and seemed to be a little distracted, and Ji Liang took the opportunity to climb into the carriage.
"Miss, do you have any more explanations?" Motoyoshi asked.
Li Minglou looked at the carriage, Ji Liang closed the curtain of the carriage, she couldn't help laughing, her eyes fell on Yuan Ji and groaned slightly: "You arrange someone to take care of Mr. Ji......"
Yuan Ji nodded: "I know how to do it." β
Just like Miss arranges for someone to take care of herself, Miss cares about Ji Liang's body, which is treating Ji Liang as her own.
