Before the cup of tea was finished, an attendant came over and invited Li Juan and Li Danruo to watch the full moon ceremony in the front hall. \[\]

Turning a corner, a waiter about thirty years old dressed in the costume of the deputy capital of the province came to meet him, Li Danruo glanced at the face of the waiter, his eyes were stunned, his footsteps were stagnant, and he hurriedly lowered his head, isn't this the woman who asked for three thousand taels of silver for Hongyun that year? Don't...... Is this Liu really the other Liu?

Li Danruo was stunned, and the chamberlain had already politely greeted Li Juan: "Mrs. Li is fine, I haven't seen you for a while." ”

"Guo Dutong is fine, but I haven't seen him for a while, and I haven't met Guo Dutong twice." Li Juan hurriedly smiled and said politely, Guo Dutong frowned slightly, sighed heavily and said: "Big brother has been sick for more than half a month, sometimes good and sometimes bad, it's really worrying." ”

"Big brother is not okay?" Li Juan said hurriedly, Guo Dutong smiled bitterly: "No, eldest brother has always been like this, this half a year, there are few good times, alas, the hour is not early, Mrs. Li, don't be late, please first." Guo Dutong took half a step back to the side, politely let Li Juan sideways, Li Juan thanked him, and turned sideways slightly, Li Danruo followed Li Juan, when he passed Guo Dutong, his footsteps seemed to slow down, and he looked up at Guo Dutong, Guo Dutong was holding his hands behind his back, looking at her with a smile, as if there was no expression in his eyes, and as if he had any expression, Li Danruo lowered his eyes and crossed Guo Dutong.

"This is the deputy capital of the province, the red man next to the queen." After walking more than a dozen steps, Li Juan slowed down, and explained to Li Danruo in a low voice, Li Danruo said 'um', he is the deputy capital of the province, and he is a celebrity next to the queen, and the eldest prince is sick, so he goes to take care of it......

He asked for silver for Hongyun to find himself, Hongyun must have trusted him very much, so he sent him to find himself, he is a red man in front of the queen, this is not a simple person, he met himself here, it can't be a coincidence, so why did he, why did he choose to meet her here? What are you trying to tell her? Do you want to remind her first that this Liu is the other Liu?

In Hongyun's palace, I'm afraid it's not easy, I don't know that she is her, she always knows where she is, what she does, she suddenly wants to see herself at this time, it must not be for nothing, what happened to her? What is the crisis? Li Danruo's heart went up and down, but his face was not exposed at all, he still lowered his eyebrows and followed Li Juan, and entered the full moon ceremony hall.

The doors and windows around the hall are hung with a thick red veil, this is already the middle of May, the ordinary baptismal ceremony, most of them have to be set up outside, this baptism ceremony hall, but also hung such a heavy gauze curtain, who can not stand the wind? Second prince, or queen?

The attendant in the hall led Li Juan to stand in the middle of the team on the right, Li Danruo was one step behind, standing on Li Juan's side, she had no grade, she was not qualified to stand in the team, and seven or eight luxuriously dressed and bright ladies came in behind, sandwiched between a few equally bright young ladies, passing through the line that had already stood in the middle and standing in front.

When these seven or eight noble ladies stood up, the soft voice of the saluting officer sounded, Li Juan and others knelt down and got up again, knelt down and got up again, and bowed three times and bowed six times.

A moment of ceremony, all the people in the hall are in groups of three or two, the red silk is surrounded by a semicircle in front of the wooden platform, and there is only a gold inlaid treasure red gold bathtub in the middle of the platform, the red gold bath is close to the side of everyone, and three plain silver basins are placed in a semicircle. Two or three steps behind the side of the red gold bathtub, there is a very wide, beautifully carved Jin Si Nan armchair, the queen sits on it in a full costume, Zou Hou has thick eyebrows and big eyes, the eyes are extremely bright, only the chin is slightly square, so that the whole face looks more silky strong, less soft, at this time, the red rouge on the lips and the cheeks of the rouge hit out red, it seems that the whole person is in spirit and festive, next to the Jin Si Nan armchair stands a beautiful woman wearing a peach skirt and a long jade body, which is the red cloud.

Li Dan looked away as if there was something to do, stood behind Li Juan, and looked at the luxuriously decorated washstand.

After coming in, seven or eight rushed Zou and then blessed him, and then walked to the red gold bathtub in turn, and gently threw those bright lights or quaint very washing rites into the basin, these must be the daughters of Zou Mansion, and only they are qualified to put down the baptism ceremony, as long as the second prince bathes in the red gold bathtub.

Sure enough, when they put the washing ceremony, the ladies began to put their respective washing ceremonies into the three plain silver bathtubs in turn, Li Danruo followed Li Juan, and also put a red gold inlaid treasure unicorn into the silver bathtub, and it was an auspicious time to put the washing ceremony, Li Danruo looked at Hongyun and Zou Hou out of the corner of his eyes, Zou Hou looked at the child in the arms of the grandmother holding the milk with pity, Hongyun was holding up the lid cup from the maid's pot, bent down, and respectfully handed it to Zou Hou, Zou Hou frowned, as if he was very reluctant to take a few sips, and handed the cover cup to Hongyun without looking back.

The grandmother hugged the second prince, but the water in the red gold bathtub was stained and the child's forehead nodded, even if it was a ceremony, she picked up the child and bowed to Zou, and all the grandmothers and maids retreated.

Hongyun bent down with a smile on his face and said a few words to Empress Zou, Empress Zou nodded, Hongyun straightened up, and announced with a bright smile: "Niangniang said, today is a festive event, please don't be formal, have fun." ”

Everyone respectfully agreed, the waiter led everyone to the apse to feast and drink, Li Danruo didn't dare to look more, only behind Li Juan, just walked two steps, a small waiter came over a few steps, and said to Li Juan and Li Danruo: "Liu Guiren has ordered, please Grandma Li to come here for a banquet." Li Juan was about to speak, Li Danruo pulled her sleeve and whispered: "Then I'll go over, and I'll come over to wait for Mrs. later." Li Wan swallowed back when he got to his mouth, and watched Li Danruo follow Xiao Nei out of the main hall, and then talked to the familiar lady and went to the apse together.

Li Danruo followed the small chamber through four or five doors, turned into a five-foot square hugging room, the small chamber stood at the door, Li Danruo entered the hugging room, the furnishings in the hugging room are very simple, a table in the middle, there are two chairs next to the table, there are flower stands, smokers and other things in the corner, Li Danruo stands in front of the table, there are a few dishes of small dishes in front of the table, a bowl of rice, only a pair of chopsticks, there is a teapot in the warm kiln on the side, and there are two cups next to it.

Li Danruo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, sat down with his eyes down, picked up the bowl, and ate slowly, just after eating most of the bowl of rice, the heavy curtain suddenly lifted, a pink skirt flashed in, Hongyun stood by the door with a bright look, looking at Li Danruo with bright eyes, Li Danruo had already stood up, put his hands on the table, and looked at Hongyun in a daze, Hongyun winked at Li Danruo naughtily, bloomed with a smile on his face, crossed his hands on his waist, raised his chin at Li Danruo and said: "Come here, let my sister take a look!"

Li Dan wanted to laugh and cry, so he ran to Hongyun in two steps, looked up at her slightly, his lips moved, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Hongyun smiled softly, reached out and hugged Li Danruo, let go of her, pushed her chair and sat down, he quickly turned to the other side and sat down, reached out and lifted the teapot in the warm kiln, poured two cups of tea, served a cup himself, pushed a cup to Li Danruo and said with a smile: "Eat the meal first, let's talk after eating." ”

"I've eaten well, I can't eat anymore, what's wrong with you? You threw down a piece of paper and said that you were going home, which frightened me, I don't know which home you went back to......" Li Danruo looked at Hongyun and sighed and complained, Hongyun was almost choked by her saying that she didn't know which home to go to, put down the cup, pointed at Li Danruo and said angrily: "Dead Nizi, what go back to which home?" I couldn't think about people like that, it was difficult at that time, I couldn't say it. ”

"What the hell are you?" Li Danruo looked at Hongyun and said suspiciously, Hongyun lifted the cup, lowered his eyes and drank tea, sighed and said: "Life is unpredictable, the official family ...... At that time, I was still King Duan, and I didn't know where I heard that I was dancing well, and I went to see it once, so I asked me quietly, if I would like to go to his house, you know me, I didn't plan to be a little star for others, but at that time, God made a ghost, I agreed, and I didn't dare to tell anyone, and I entered the house with someone else with my baggage. ”

Hongyun smiled and shook his head: "It's really a miracle, the king at the back end of the mansion is very good to me, the official family is generous and gentle, considerate, and very considerate of others, I can follow him, it is my blessing, and then ...... Something happened, so I had to leave the house temporarily...... There is no silver, thanks to your three thousand taels of silver, I lived outside for a year and a half, and then finally went back, and after that, the official family became an official family, and I became Liu Meiren. ”

Li Danruo stretched out his hand and pressed Hongyun's hand, she said that it was an understatement, but she didn't know how many turbulent waves, life and death were uneventful, Hongyun pulled out his hand, patted Li Danruo's hand lightly and said: "Later, I gave birth to a son," Hongyun paused for a while before continuing: "I have to plan more." ”

"Well," Li Danruo had countless questions in her heart, but she didn't dare to ask more than half a word, she only looked at Hongyun, and when she spoke, Hongyun looked at Li Danruo and asked, "When will your eldest uncle enter Beijing?" ”

"After Goro passed the exam, I wrote to him, and I received a reply from the previous child, counting the days, and I will be able to go to the capital the day after tomorrow."

"That's good, Aruo, I can't do it alone, you and Gorou have to help me." Hongyun's words were extremely straightforward, Li Danruo expected this, and he was unexpected, he only looked at Hongyun in a daze, and he didn't know how to answer, Hongyun took a deep breath: "I can't trust others, I can only trust you, I know that you have a quiet temperament, but this time it's my business, I have a son, you can't help me." ”

Li Danruo looked at Hongyun, she couldn't cry or laugh, how could she hear this, she had a son, she and her son, she couldn't help herself, alas, too, she really couldn't help it.
