Sure enough, as soon as Mrs. Lai said this, Zhang Yanei took the small servants to follow him, and He Deqing went out together, and went to the dim sum shop on the edge of Fengle Building, the two of them didn't know how much, they bought all the dim sum in the shop in one go, and asked Zhang Wang a few words, seeing that there was really nothing to take care of, He Deqing and Zhang Yanei went out of the shop, and stabbed Zhang Yanei and suggested in a low voice: "Mr. No, don't you have to take care of one or two in the house?" I heard that the family is either old or young, and it is all women, so why don't you take care of it? ”

"No need in the house!" Zhang Yanei simply waved his hand and said: "Mr. told my father before leaving, if there is anything, let people go to my house to find the concierge and say it, and if you don't say it, it's fine." \[\]”

"Look at it, tell you the truth, it's really true, that's a big deal, so it's usually a little troublesome, do you have to go to the door to bother Zhang Fuzun? You have to go over from time to time, greet each other, see if there is anything you want to help, and help when you see a small problem, which is what you can count as your heart. He Deqing turned his mind to persuade, Zhang Yanei tilted his head and thought about it, stretched out his hand to pat He Deqing and said: "How old are you, you are really thoughtful, you are reasonable, let's go, let's take a look!"

He Deqing was overjoyed, got busy on the horse, and went to Jiang's house together.

Jiang got off the horse at the door of the house, the little guy stepped forward to knock on the door, raised his voice to report, not long, Yao Huang came out and went in, and came out again, the second door was half opened, and the door rushed to Zhang Yanei and He Deqing to bow and said: "Our old lady said, everything is fine at home, Xie Yanei bothered, the fifth master is not at home, there are only female dependents in the family now, and filial piety, so I won't invite Yanei into the house to drink tea and talk, and please forgive Yanei." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just here to ask, it's okay, if there's something, don't care about the size, don't be polite, let people come to our house to find me, okay, you go back, I'm leaving." Zhang Yanei waved his hand and said, Yao Huang smiled and responded, and did not send much, seeing that Zhang Yanei turned around, he closed the second door and went back.

He Deqing looked at the two doors close to him with a disappointed face, and refused to turn back, Zhang Yanei turned around and walked out of the gate, turned around and saw that He Deqing did not follow, took two steps back, turned his head to look at He Deqing and shouted: "He Da, what are you looking at!?" Let's go!"

"Alas, here it is." He Deqing was about to turn around, only to hear a voice from the second door: "I'm a handkerchief!" Alas, it fell out the door!" He Deqing turned his head sharply to look left and right, but there were only leaves in the second gate, how could there be a veil? Just looking around, the second door opened a crack very lightly, Jiang Yanfen poked his head out of it, and saw that it was He Deqing, his face flew crimson, and he hurriedly flashed out of the second door, closed the door a little with his hand, didn't dare to raise his head, leaned on his side, grabbed the handkerchief and whispered: "Can you see my handkerchief in the ya?" ”

He Deqing saw that it was not those two stunning women, and when he was disappointed, he saw Jiang Yanfen acting like this, he was a veteran of wandering around the flowers and hunting Yanfen, and at a glance, he had seen Jiang Yanfen through nine times out of ten, and hurriedly pulled out his handkerchief from his arms and said: "Little lady, take a look, isn't this piece?" Jiang Yanfen glanced at the handkerchief in He Deqing's hand, twisted his body a few times, didn't say yes, didn't say no, He Deqing understood how much people are, took a step forward, reached out and pulled out the handkerchief in Jiang Yanfen's hand, stuffed his handkerchief into Jiang Yanfen's hand, rubbed Jiang Yanfen's hand again, and said in a low voice: "If the handkerchief is not right, at this time tomorrow, I will come to find the little lady again, it is inconvenient here, but there is a corner door?" ”

"Hmm." Jiang Yanfen turned blood-red, lowered her head, and pointed to the backyard with only her fingers, He Deqing was overjoyed, he only needed her a 'um' word, this corner door, he would find it himself.

"What a day! Why don't you leave? Outside, Zhang Yanei had already gotten on the horse, and shouted impatiently, He Deqing responded to the voice, arched his hand at Jiang Yanfen and whispered goodbye: "Ming'er At this time, don't forget the little lady." As he spoke, he walked a few steps out, got on the horse, and went back laughing loudly with Zhang Yanei.

Jiang Yanfeng flashed into the second door, and in the east wing room, Su Er's grandmother leaned against the door frame, smiling and looking at a red pink face with joy Jiang Yanfen.

In the afternoon of the next day, Jiang Yanming and Li Danruo's car Li Yunzhi stopped at the gate, Li Yunzhi got the letter, carried a long shirt, strode out, greeted Jiang Yanming, and asked him to talk to the study, and Li Danruo's car went straight to the second door.

Grandma Han San had already greeted her in the second gate, and Li Danruo hurriedly got out of the car to greet her, and was not polite, and followed Grandma Han San straight to the back courtyard.

"The back of the government is small, your third brother went to see it, and said that he couldn't live in it, so he rented this yard, but I didn't expect this Wuwei house to be cheap at all, so I didn't dare to rent a big yard, so it was easy to pick such a garden, and my mother usually had a place to walk around." Grandma Han San explained to Li Danruo euphemistically, Li Danruo smiled: "Small has small benefits, there are not many people in the family, and there is no need to have such a big house, otherwise there are few adults in the house, and it is not good to be in space." ”

"Mother said the same, and the front is here." Grandma Han San said with a smile, and between two or three sentences, the two of them had arrived at the gate of the main courtyard, saying that it was the main courtyard, but in fact, it was three main houses connected to two wings on the left and right, and a flower stand in front of it was used as a shadow wall, and it was not really enclosed out of the courtyard.

Yang was standing at the door of the main house and looking, as soon as he saw Li Danruo, he hurried over along the verandah, Li Danruo hurriedly ran a few steps with his skirt, rushed over and hugged Yang and smiled: "Mother, it's good to see you." ”

"This stupid child, of course it's good to see your mother!" Yang's face flushed, pushed Li Danruo back a little, looked up and down, and carefully looked at it, and said with a long sigh of relief: "Although I have lost some weight, it's okay, my spirit and complexion are good, is Wulang good?" ”

"Okay, my wife, they are all good, I also opened a dim sum shop in Jiangning, and the business is very good, let's go in, I will talk to my mother." Li Danruo smiled like a flower, helped the Yang family into the main house, Han San's grandmother made tea and set a table full of snacks, Li Danruo did not avoid her, and told the big and small things in the past six months one by one, and the Yang family only listened and laughed: "Wulang also accepted a disciple?" How old is he? ”

"If you are talented and not old, if Gorou hadn't been filial piety, he would have been a jinshi a long time ago." Grandma Han San smiled, the three of them laughed for a while, and Li Danruo asked with a smile: "Are they okay with the three aunts?" I, Jiangning, Jingcheng Xin'er, don't know anything at all. ”

"Alas!" Yang sighed: "I can't say whether it's good or not, since the Jiang family had an accident after the year, she won't have much contact with us, a lot of things, I and your sister-in-law have also heard others talk about it, and there is nothing important to do, it is the fifth sister's family matter, last year was not to order Prince Jing's side concubine Yue's seventh cousin, this trip Prince Jing was bad, Yue's life was also taken in, this Yue family also followed the bad luck, your third aunt because of this, very annoyed, before I came, I heard that the Yue family came to ask for the date several times, and the children of the two families are also old, it stands to reason, In October, the fifth sister was filial, and this family affair should be done, but your third aunt said that there is no good life this winter, and there is no good day in the first half of next year.

Li Danruo frowned slightly, sighed lightly and said: "At the beginning, the third aunt wanted to determine the family of the Yue family, but the wife did not approve, it is not a big deal to be implicated in the palace of Prince Jing, the wife does not look down on Yue Qi's character, it is a loser, the third aunt really wants to retreat from this family, it is not a bad thing, this family matter is the fifth sister's life, it is ......" Li Danruo paused, and then looked at the Yang family and said with a wry smile: "Looking for the next family business, the third aunt should not be like this time, just look at Xuanhe for a while, you have to pick a good person." ”

"Retreat from relatives is to say retreat, this is not an easy thing, the Yue family has been urging the door, it is not good, the reputation of the fifth sister will be ruined, forget it, don't talk about this, your third aunt is also a great one, she doesn't have to worry about her family affairs, but the second sister, before leaving Beijing, your sister-in-law went to see her, and the second sister is now borrowing from Potai'an, you know this, right?" Yang was reluctant to say more about the three rooms, so he diverted the topic.

"Why did she live in Potai Nunnery?" Li Danruo asked in surprise.

"It is said that on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, the eldest / grandmother of the Di family went to her and immediately forced her to rent the yard silver, or she had to move out, and the second aunt and grandmother borrowed a few houses behind the Potai Nunnery and moved there." Han San's grandmother took over and explained: "That is, in February, not long after you set off, San Lang came back and said that the master of the Di family had also dismissed, saying that he was going back to Beijing to participate, as if he would return to the capital in April, and when he came back, I went to see the second aunt and grandmother, and it was two or three months in between, and I didn't go to pick up the second aunt and grandmother back, and I didn't send anyone to go over to see it." ”

Li Danruo stayed for a while, no wonder Chunyan wanted to stop talking that day, forget it, even if she said it, at that time, she was flawless, how could she help others, Li Danruo sighed slowly, Grandma Han San looked at her, hesitated, and then said: "The third aunt ordered a foreign appointment in May, brought two concubines to take office, and left the third aunt and grandmother in the capital, you know, the third aunt and grandmother's house is rented, and at the end of May, the third aunt and grandmother moved to live in the small village outside the city to marry, and she was in a hurry before coming, I didn't bother to go up to see her, but only sent my mother-in-law over to take a look, saying that the third aunt and grandmother were feeding the chickens in the yard, and they couldn't recognize it, so I asked someone to give her fifty taels of silver, and she accepted it. ”

"Sannizi, this is all self-inflicted, isn't it, which of those young people is not stronger than this surnamed Chen?" Yang sighed, Li Danruo was silent for a long time before he reluctantly smiled: "Look, our sisters are all unfavorable this year." ”

"Phew!" Yang hurriedly took a few sips: "It's all over, how can there be any bad years." ”

"Mother said yes, it can only get better and better in the future." Li Danruo said with a smile, and Grandma Han San also diverted the topic, talking about the big and small things of acquaintances in the capital.

Li Danruo and Jiang Yanming didn't dare to delay for nothing, stayed for one night, had lunch the next day, and set off for Jiangning to rush back.
