Although the Fang Mansion occupies a large area, the courtyards of the inner house are still relatively tight, and the sound of the piano is very easy to transmit into the Jinzhu Courtyard.

Of course, Zhiyi also heard the sound of Rushan's piano, but he didn't react and continued to practice his boxing.

However, Li Xiao became interested, and asked Zhiyi with a smile, "This piece is quite novel, who played it?" ”

Zhiyi glanced at him: "If you are interested, you can take a look for yourself." ”

Li Xiao had this intention, but after walking a few steps, he retracted his steps--- this song came from the inner house of the Fang Mansion, it is estimated that it was played by a concubine of the master of the Fang Mansion, even if he is curious, he can't ignore the rules of etiquette and righteousness.

However, this song sounds really unique, Li Xiao endured the iceberg-like coldness, and continued to ask: "Your second sister is from the concubine room of this song, right?" ”

"Nope."

"Oh?"

"This song is played by my sister-in-law."

Li Xiao looked surprised, and it took a long time to find his voice: "I really didn't expect that you, this girl, are really versatile." ”

Zhiyi nodded, agreeing with his words, listened carefully to the song for a while, shook his head again, and added: "It's a pity that the organs are exhausted." ”

Li Xiao smiled: "What do you mean by this?" Could it be that you are dissatisfied with your sister? ”

Zhiyi said slowly: "I don't have any dissatisfaction with her, I'm just curious, what are you doing here?" ”

Li Xiao screamed with a strange face, "You drove me away again?" ”

Zhiyi pursed his lips, "If you are interested in my third sister, you can come to my house to propose marriage." If you don't mean that, you'd better not come to my house in the future. ”

Li Xiao spread his hands impatiently: "I forgot what your third sister looks like." At such a young age, and with a squeamish face, brother, don't hurt me. ”

Zhiyi didn't raise his eyebrows, "It's a pity that my eldest sister has already made a marriage, and you don't have a chance." ”

Ruqing under the locust tree outside the wall jumped when she heard it, wouldn't it, this prince of King Jing has a crush on Ruzhen's big sister? This, this --- is so surprising.

Li Xiao let out a long sigh, put his hands behind his back, and looked up at the dark sky: "Sister Ling is indeed excellent, but she is not good enough to make me desperate for the urge to grab my relatives." ”

Ruqing didn't seem to understand it, but she only heard Zhiyi and sneered: "Since that's the case, then what are you still doing with me?" ”

"It's not that I want to rely on it, it's really --- alas---" Li Xiao was also full of grievances, "Do you think that with my dignified disciple of King Jing's Mansion, what kind of princess can't marry?" Why do you have to be your family? ”

Ruqing was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth, she heard it right, Li Xiao wanted to choose a girl in the Fang family to be the princess? It should be like this, she heard it right, right?

Zhiyi sneered again, "I didn't hold a knife to your neck again." ”

Li Xiao was even more depressed, "However, this Master Yuanshan is right, my future concubine will be the daughter of her ancestral home in Haining Fangfu." However, I carefully investigated, there is only one Fang Mansion in this Qizhou City, and the ancestral home is indeed Haining---"

Zhiyi interrupted him, "You believe what people say, and when you accept your fate like this, this is not your style." ”

Li Xiao was impatient, "I don't want to believe it, but this Yuanshan master has always done what he says." The year before last, he calculated the marriage for the second daughter of the British government, saying that she would marry for the second time. At that time, he was almost kicked out of the country by the British public with a broom. But it's just an evil door, the second British girl has really been married twice. Maybe you will say that it is just a coincidence, but at the end of last year, he made a calculation for King Cheng, that is, the son of my second uncle, and said that my cousin would marry with the Marquis of Zeyun, which is a lifelong enemy of the Chengwang Mansion and the Marquis of Zeyun's Mansion. But not long after, there was news that the Chengwang Mansion and the Zeyun Marquis Mansion had released their previous suspicions, and again, my second cousin entrusted Ling Guogong and his wife to go to the Zeyun Marquis Mansion with a heavy dowry. The two families really got married. Then the name of Master Yuanshan's divine calculation was derived from this. ”

Ruqing was amazed when she heard it, the inside story, the top secret inside story, God treated her so well, he actually let her overhear such a secret inside story.

Li Xiao then said that Master Yuanshan had married several other powerful lords, and they were all counted very coaxingly, and the reputation of this Master Yuanshan became loud. Then, even Princess Jing couldn't help but invite Master Yuanshan to calculate the baby son, and then came up with a thirty-six-character proverb: the homeland of Confucianism, the ancestral home of Haining, the small character with such as, and the big name Fang. Hidden in the inner house, the world is unknown. Twists and turns, after grabbing the top.

Ruqing went to college to study a junior college, and her writing level really needs to be improved, these thirty-six words of proverbs, she read it left and right, and finally under Li Xiao's half-clear explanation, she understood a rough idea. To the effect that this future concubine came from the hometown of Confucianism, and most of the literati respected Confucius as the ancestor of Confucianism, and Confucius's hometown was Shandong. Again, the ancestral home of this deceased mother is Haining. There is a word in the boudoir name, surnamed Fang. After this explanation, the entire Shanfang surname, the ancestral home of Haining, the official eunuch family was easy to find, and then, Li Xiao found the Fang family. The girls in Fangfu do have such words in their names. Because they are hidden deep in the inner house, they are not known to outsiders, and they will go through five twists and turns in the future before they will be together.

Ruqing imagined it like this, but I don't know if others think like this.

Li Xiao sighed mournfully, "I know you don't want your sisters to know the purpose of my coming to Fangfu, and I can't say it until the matter is clear." But after observing these days, I was really disappointed. “

Ruqing flattened her mouth, secretly thinking, not to mention the disciples of the Fang Mansion, just the sisters of them, although they are really excellent, they are not excellent enough to be unique. Rushan is indeed beautiful and has some talent, but her identity is there, and she is too young, not to mention Rumei and her, so it is normal for Li Xiao to be disappointed more than hoped after observing for a while.

Thinking of this, Ruqing couldn't help but make a bold guess again, this Princess Jing came to the Fang Mansion, could it be that she was also secretly observing the character of their sisters?

Finally, Li Xiao finally left, although he knew that he would not be discovered, but Ruqing still shrank out without gasping, looking through the faint gap in the grass, Zhiyi's little maid Mo Ling had already lifted the octagonal palace lamp, and kept shouting: "The son of the world is good, the son of the world is good." ”

Li Xiao swept under the acacia tree under the support of the guards, and the guards behind him followed like a shadow, under the backdrop of this group of strong clothes and big men, Li Xiao's rain-swept azure brocade robe, the collar and cuffs were surrounded by white fox armpit hair, the robe was covered with brocade unicorn dark lines, the waist was covered with sterling silver inlaid with precious stones and a wide brocade belt, and the jade pendant on the waist that could not be seen was dazzling with the movements of the steps. At night, the bright light emitted by the air death wind lanterns hanging on the gates of Jinzhu Courtyard and Yisong Courtyard reflected Li Xiao's suspicious face.

Li Xiao was not very handsome, slightly inferior to the handsome Zhilian, and even inferior to Jiang Yunran, who was as bright as the moon, but he had a convincing majesty and pride, which was cultivated by the habit of giving orders from a young age.

He is the pride of heaven who was born with a golden spoon, and he has his own life trajectory and mate selection criteria, and Fang Fuzhi is just the most inconspicuous sand shimmer among all living beings to him.

When she first heard the thirty-six words of proverbs by chance, her heart trembled uncontrollably, but at this moment, looking at his look at the world, the small, shallow tremor in her heart disappeared immediately.

In this world, although miracles happen from time to time, they will never happen to her. The difference between clouds and mud is destined to be the moon on the horizon, and she is a faint spark 108,000 miles away from the moon.

When everything returned to calm, Ruqing tried to move, and was not in the mood to eat hot and sour noodles anymore, so she carefully picked out some of the powder that was already slightly cold in the food box, threw it under the roots of the tree, and then whitewashed it, and silently recited a few words of "I'm sorry" in her heart, and then got out of the tree, rubbed her numb legs, and tried to digest the information she had just overheard.

Zhili has been waiting impatiently, and has sent the little girl Shunzi to the road several times to investigate, but he didn't see Ruqing, and he couldn't help but be anxious, and finally saw the late Ruqing in the third time, and finally sighed, "Fourth girl, you can finally come, if you don't come, this little leg will definitely run away." ”

Ruqing smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Brother Shunzi, it's dark this day, and the house is so generous, I'm a little scared alone, so I have to come along the place where there are lights, the eldest brother must be impatient to wait, right?" ”

Shunzi took the food box in Ruqing's hand, and said as she walked: "No, the eldest young master thought that something had happened to the fourth girl on the road, and the desperate Cui Zhaoxiao people were asking around." Not only the little ones, but even the Fuzi and the noble son went out to find the four girls. Thankfully, the four girls finally came. ”

Ruqing was even more weak-hearted, and hurriedly squeaked that she was accidentally delayed on the road, and came to the hall, facing the bright candle flame, Shunzi found the dust and mud on Ruqing's body, and couldn't help but be shocked, "Fourth girl, you, what's wrong with you?" ”

Ruqing's heart was sneering, she was busy bowing her head, she was miserable, her clothes and legs were full of mud and dust, and she was busy explaining that it was caused by a fall on the road.

Junko frowned, wanted to say something, swallowed the words back, and led Ruqing to Zhili.

At this time, Zhili was pacing in the room, and when he saw Ruqing, he hurriedly strode towards her, and fixed his figure in front of Ruqing, "Why did the fourth sister come so long?" Finding a stain on Ruqing's body, he frowned, "How did you get this?" Wrestling? ”

Ruqing lowered her head, concealed the weakness on her face, and whispered: "I accidentally fell on the road." ”

Zhili's brows furrowed even more fiercely, "Why are you alone?" Where's the girl waiting for you? ”

Ruqing smiled wryly, "Mother Shen is old, and her legs and feet are not good, and I can't bother her at this time." Linglong tidied up the hemp shop for me, and cleaned the house for my wife. Mingyue ---Mingyue only followed me, and I wasn't used to it---" Under Zhili's increasingly suspicious face, his voice gradually became quieter.

Zhili frowned tightly, and said after a while: "It's really embarrassing for the fourth sister." He took the food box and ordered Junzi to take it hot again, and then sat down slowly, "Actually, just let the next person send it over, why bother the fourth sister to run and lie down, look, the clothes are all like this." ”

Ruqing took two steps back without a trace, avoided Zhili's gaze, and said curtly: "The people in my mother's house are sick and busy, and they can't spare anyone temporarily. ”

Zhili was silent for a long time, and said, "Aunt Zhu should also be in charge of her subordinates." ”

Ruqing nodded and said yes, but with a wry smile on her face.

Zhili looked at her for a while, tapped the table with his ten fingers, and said, "The slave bought into the mansion to wait for the master." If you can't even wait for the master, what else do you buy it for? Gai Ming'er, I told my aunt that I would bundle up and sell all those who didn't do their best. ”

Ruqing smiled flatteringly, and said happily: "Sister, thank you for your kindness, big brother." It's just that there are a lot of things in the house, and my mother can't take care of these little things when she takes care of the housework. Again, wait a little longer. "When she is older, separated from the Li family, and has her own separate yard, she can let go of her hands and feet to rectify those subordinates.

Zhili stared at Ruqing for a while, bowed his head, and said two words softly: "It's okay." ”
