Chapter Eighty-Five: The Old
Date: 213-1-1
The next day, Li Danruo went to the Li family's three-room mansion to ask Mrs. Yan San to say goodbye, and after drinking herbal tea in the living room for half a day, Mrs. Yan San hurriedly came out and complained to Li Danruo about a few difficult family matters, and did not ask when she would arrive in Beijing and where she would live, so she politely sent Li Danruo out. \[\]
In Uncle Zhongyong's mansion, Aunt Li Juan asked carefully about her life, and heard that according to Mrs. Cheng's meaning, she is now living separately, and sighed several times and said: "This is also a matter of no way, Wulang has passed this matter, and it can be regarded as a submission, Jiangning is also forgotten, now there are many rights and wrongs in the capital, you old lady wants to be thoughtful, and now the Jiang family also relies on Wulang, next year's spring, no matter what, Wulang has to get a lottery, your uncle's term is over, I am afraid that he will be transferred, and besides, he is also old, I don't want him to be a foreigner, Your eldest lord must hurry up and get rid of his sin, otherwise your uncle will come back, and alas, there will be no way to say anything about the rest of the matter. ”
"Well, it's true, my uncle is guarding Yongzhou, it's been more than three years, and there are still two years, I'll discuss with Gorou when I go back, and I have to get people out quickly." Li Danruo hurriedly responded, Li Juan waved his hand and said: "Don't bother Wulang at this time, let him study with peace of mind, Chunfu is a big deal, wait for the exam to come out, don't worry, I will enter the palace tomorrow to see if I can entrust Liu Guiren, if she is willing to help, this matter will be easy." ”
"Liu Guiren? Is it a girl from the Liu family? ”
"I really don't know how to calculate this, in May, Liu Gui gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, and the queen suddenly announced me into the palace, saying that Liu Gui's life was bumpy, and he knew that his surname was Liu, don't, his parents' hometown didn't know, and now that he gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, there must be a return to the clan to be a good one, pick and choose, it's not good if it's high, it's not good if it's low, so I picked our family, let your uncle recognize his niece and nephew, so count, this Liu Guiren is considered to be the aunt and grandmother of Uncle Zhongyong."
Li Danruo was stunned when he heard this, and a strange feeling suddenly surged in his heart, and he hurriedly stared at Li Juan and asked, "What does Liu Guiren look like?" What kind of person is he? ”
"It's very good, it's not good, and it can't win the emperor's favor, what kind of person, I can't say, although I've met three or five times, and there are etiquette and laws...... There is no etiquette, I don't know her, I don't have anything to say, I don't talk much, I am very kind, I heard that the knowledge is excellent, even the Taifu has praised her, and the knowledge is admirable. ”
If Li Dan is disappointed in her heart, her knowledge is excellent, it must not be her, she has not read any books, she may have knowledge, and her knowledge can be praised by Taifu...... Thinking too much about yourself.
Li Juan left Li Danruo for dinner before sending her back, and the next day she went to Li Danruo's place, passed through the back corner door, and asked Mrs. Cheng to say goodbye, and talked with her for a long time before saying goodbye and going back.
Just two days after sending the letter to the aunt and grandmother Jiang Yanhu, Mrs. Cheng received a letter from Jiang Yanhu, the eldest aunt Sun Minhua expired, and asked for the position of the sixth department in the capital, and at the end of the year, it was in the capital, Mrs. Cheng was overjoyed, and the Jiang family was happy.
Li Danruo discussed with Mrs. Cheng and Zhao, and looked around with Zhao in the car for a few days, and decided to open a north and south goods shop, Jiangning's dim sum shop, because it sells dim sum in Beijing, this business is booming, and now in Beijing, so that the dim sum shop is unsightly, and the profits are big on the side, and the Jiang family does not know how to do it, the two of them have watched it for several days, and they can open, and there are only north and south goods shops, as long as they are attentive and kind, they can always earn some oil and salt money, Mrs. Cheng does not say much, only let the two of them take the idea.
After a few more busy days, the two were optimistic about the shop, discussed for most of the day, and simply bought the shop, Li Danruo picked a safe shopkeeper from his shop to help, and was busy for a month, the shop finally opened, opened for a few days, the business is not good, but it is not bad, Zhao is very satisfied, this north and south goods shop was originally done is word of mouth, as long as the price is low and the goods are good, this business will definitely get better and better.
Li Danruo was busy for a while, and sent Mama Shen to the Wei family to find Grandma Lu Si, who heard that Li Danruo had returned to the capital, and was very surprised, and hurriedly made an appointment with Li Danruo to meet in Xianlou.
Li Danruo took the fat red and Zhu Yi, and followed the doctor of tea and rice into the private room, Lu Xinglin had already arrived, Li Danruo entered the house, took off the hat, Lu Xinglin looked up and down and smiled: "Okay, good!" It's still like that, it's not out of shape!"
"Look at you, I have only lived in Jiangning for two years, and I am not a frontier, how can I get out of shape?" Li Danruo responded with a smile, Lu Xinglin let out a long sigh, stretched out his head in front of Li Danruo, stretched out his hand and stroked her cheek and said, "What's the difference?" Okay, let's not talk about this, just come back, Gorou will take the exam next spring? ”
"How can you not take the test." While Li Danruo was talking, he and Lu Xinglin sat down, Lu Xinglin looked at Li Danruo and said with a smile: "Amitabha, you must bless him with one fell swoop!" You are also so free from bad luck, you see, at the beginning, you, me, and Dai Qi, the three were better, you came to ask for many relatives at that time, and it was also smooth, and I was fine, although the Wei family was not as good as the Jiang family at that time...... Alas, no one has a long front and back eyes later, at that time, I felt that Dai Qi was not good, picked and picked, and spread the disgusting things of the Mingyuan Hou family, and now she counts down to her, married a good man, gave birth to the eldest son, and is pregnant again at this time, whether it is a man or a woman, you see, the world is unpredictable, who knows what it will be like in two years? You want to open some too. ”
"Why can't I think about it?" Li Danruo pursed his lips and smiled: "Although something happened to the Jiang family, I feel that it is a blessing in disguise, speaking of children, I haven't seen them for two years, is it a son or a daughter?" ”
"Daughter, if only it were a son." Lu Xinglin said with a smile,
"It is a great blessing to have a daughter and a son, just a good word......" The two laughed, ate slowly, removed the rice and tea, and served the tea and snacks again, Lu Xinglin seemed to remember something and smiled: "You and your third uncle's house, can you walk around?" ”
"It's okay." Li Danruo said vaguely, Lu Xinglin raised his eyebrows clearly, and then said: "Have you heard of the five ladies of his family?" Li Danruo hurriedly shook his head: "In the past few months since I entered Beijing, I was first busy buying and cleaning up the house, and then I was busy with shop, what is the matter?" ”
"Hey, hey!" Lu Xinglin laughed a few times dryly and said: "Before Prince Jing's bad thing, she and the Yue family made a marriage, I heard that Yue Qiye had seen her twice, and she took a fancy to her appearance, and as soon as she was filial, she hurriedly came to the door to ask for marriage, but this request, she asked for it, and now that Yue Qiye was originally a scoundrel, and he has lost his momentum in the past few years, and he is rolling more and more into the mud," Lu Xinglin laughed for a while before continuing: "What scoundrel tricks have been used, pestering Li Mansion every day, but in June last year, this family affair suddenly broke up, this is a good thing, Yue Qi is such a dirty, is not worthy of Li Wu Niangzi, but who knows, after even talking about a few relatives, they were all returned, last month I went to Yao Da Yao's house with Dai Qi to enjoy the flowers, only then did I hear from Dai Qi, that Yue Qi told people everywhere that last June, when Li Wu Niangzi went to Guanyin Courtyard to incense, he mixed in with Li Wu Niangzi It has long been a good thing, you listen, what is this!"
Li Danruo choked on a sip of tea, coughed a few times before he said angrily: "Isn't this nonsense!" The fifth sister never leaves anyone, how can he get his hands on it? Besides, if she really succeeds, the third aunt can only pinch her nose and marry the fifth sister, which is a bad reputation. ”
"It's not, Dai Qi and I also said the same, but this thing is too ugly, this family affair has nothing to marry, your third aunt is really, was blind back then or was it deceived? How can someone like Yue Qi be determined? Don't say that Prince Jing is bad, it's just ...... Such a scoundrel can't be married. ”
Lu Xinglin had a hint of schadenfreude on his face, and Li Danruo frowned and said, "What is this?" Is it because he has such a bad reputation? ”
"This matter is also difficult to do, and it hasn't been said on the surface, besides, Mrs. Yan and Li Wuniang don't know or not." Lu Xinglin smiled, Li Danruo tilted his head to look at her, Lu Xinglin hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't look at me, I just know, and I can't say this to Mrs. Yan, I won't hide it from you, let's belong to us, I don't like Mrs. Yan and your fifth sister, Li Wuniang is not different from you at all, she has outstanding appearance and talent, and she has to be out of everyone's head everywhere, even if you speak, you must be pressed a word." ”
Li Danruo exhaled heavily, Lu Xinglin loves to talk and laugh, and has a strong temperament, if you get along with her, you have to be able to listen to her, Li Lingbo can't get along with her, but I don't know if the third uncle knows about this matter, then Yue Qi is a down-and-out child, and there is nothing difficult to deal with, set up a bureau for him to be exiled for a few hundred miles, and it will be over, but how can I tell the third uncle about this? She didn't have a match last time......
"What do you want?" Lu Xinglin pushed Li Danruo and said, "Blame me?" ”
"No, how can you blame that? I just think it's difficult for women, Yun Ying was okay when she was not married, once she got married, up and down, left and right, how much it was difficult. ”
"Not really!" Lu Xinglin suddenly sighed: "You don't know, when I first got married, I don't know how many times I cried behind my back......" The two didn't mention Li Lingbo again, and talked for a long time, seeing that it was getting late, they came out of the hotel and got in the car to go back.
Li Danruo returned home, called Mama Shen in, withdrew from everyone, whispered Lu Xinglin's words, and then explained: "Mama will see if she can find the third wife's henchman or girl, and if you know this, you can't sit idly by." ”
"This is, no matter how you say it, it's a Li character, it's easy, Wu Niangzi taught Mama Zhou to be familiar with me, so I went to find her, and said that I listened to the henchmen around Grandma Wei Si, and grandma shouldn't get involved." Mama Shen simply responded, Li Danruo nodded with a sigh of relief, and Mama Shen did not delay, so she went out to find Mrs. Zhou.
