Time: 212-12-1
Li Danruo guarded filial piety, and it was inconvenient to move around, so he only sent Mama Shen to find the Liang family, and said that she was going to marry Yao Huang and Wei Zi in Layue, this is Li Danruo's marriage Yahuan, and the Liang family naturally won't say anything, and the age is not too young, but a few words of congratulations, and ordered Shen Mama to bring Yao Huang and Wei Zi two red envelopes. \[\]
In the middle of the month, Yao Huang and Wei Zi got married in a low-key manner, Fat Hong and Dou Lu took the two messengers, Li Danruo and Wei Zi were busy for more than half a month, bulldozing the accounts of those shops for a year, and discussed with Shen Mama, sent Pingfu to quietly buy a very small two-entry courtyard, collected a few shops and Zhuangzi, and quietly transported the silver into the small courtyard and hid it, and Shen Mama quietly transported Li Danruo's dowry pressure box silver into the small courtyard, and was busy until the end of the month, and married Yao Huang and Wei Zi. Li Danruo simply ordered Shen Mama to quietly get out of the country along with Fat Red and Dou Lu, and went to the government to file the case, Li Danruo breathed a sigh of relief, and finally left a way back.
On the New Year's Day ceremony, the amnesty of the world was finally given, and with the amnesty decree, there was also King Jing as Prince Jing, and other princes, princesses, and old ministers of the former dynasty also made their own decrees according to the rules, and got this letter, Mrs. Cheng recited a few words of Buddha, and her heart finally let go.
Uncle Jiang Yanhong breathed a sigh of relief, and since the beginning of the year, he has been busy eating people, eating and drinking, and asking people for affection, and he wants to leave Jingwangfu quickly to find a farewell to send him.
In the year, each family took turns to invite the drama and wine to socialize, and the days were extreme, Li Danruo because of his grandmother's filial piety, this year was extremely quiet, and he never even went out of the courtyard gate, only on the day of the seventh day of the first day of the first Wei Yuan's founding marquis, Jiang Yanming's aunt Jiang Shi's birthday, and Jiang Yanming went to the Daxiangguo Temple together, and did a water and land dojo for Mrs. Jiang for three days.
Seeing that it was a few days before the fifteenth day, Jiang Yanming originally wanted to take Li Danruo out to take a boat to watch the lights along the Bianhe River, but Li Danruo was not interested, Jiang Yanming knew that she was filial piety and piety, and he no longer persuaded more, only two days before the Yuan Xi Festival, he bought dozens of various lanterns from the outside and came back, watching people hang the courtyard, and in the evening, the lanterns in the courtyard were lit up, moving with the wind, swaying, and shining in the courtyard with warmth. Li Danruo held the hand stove, stood down and looked at the various lanterns in the courtyard, and muttered behind the fat red station: "There is also a courtyard lamp hanging in the west courtyard......
"What are you talking about this?" Doulu hurriedly stabbed back the fat red words, and the fat red slapped Dou Lu's hand and pushed back: "You can't hide this from grandma!" Li Danruo was annoyed by the quarrel between the two, turned around and lifted the curtain and was about to enter the house, only to see Zhu Yi leading a young woman wearing a red brocade and silver fox cloak to hurry in, it was Lu Xinglin, the fourth grandmother of the Wei family.
The two let them into the house, Lu Xinglin took the bean green and offered the tea and put it on the table, looked at Li Danruo and said straightforwardly: "I'll tell you a few words." Li Danruo hurriedly withdrew from the girls, and unexpectedly looked at Lu Xinglin, who was not good-looking, Lu Xinglin moved to Li Danruo's side, and asked, "The old ladies and wives in this family treat you badly?" ”
"What's that?" Li Danruo was stunned and said, Lu Xinglin stared at Li Danruo's face stunned, and said with a sigh of relief: "I'll just say, it must be a rumor, you have been filial piety for a while, you have never been anywhere, and you can't hear such gossip, there are rumors outside that Mrs. Cheng is mean to the house, saying that she is afraid that you will divide the family property, and you will have already passed on your fifth master to the Weiyuan founding Hou family, and you have been removed from the Jiang family, is this true or false?" ”
"Where did this come from?" Li Danruo couldn't cry or laugh, Lu Xinglin sighed heavily and said: "Who knows, anyway, this word is spread all over the capital, and you can't blame people for being suspicious, at the beginning, your fifth master buried his aunt with a child gift, and later in order to keep filial piety, he even made a mistake in the imperial examination, this thing is unusual, I heard that you went to Mrs. Jiang to do the Immortal Shou Dojo again?" People haven't done it yet! You don't blame this for being said, it's suspicious, what is this for your aunt? It's obvious that I'm waiting for my mother, and even if I hear it, I will be skeptical. ”
"Gorou treats his aunt as a mother in his heart, who do you listen to say this? How long has this been going on? Where did it come from? Li Danruo frowned and asked, Lu Xinglin waved his hand, picked up the cup and drank a few sips of tea before replying, "How do I know this?" I also just heard today, isn't it Chen Hanlin's family to invite a banquet to enjoy the snow, I accompanied my mother over, and listened to Mrs. Chen Hanlin and her mother talk about this gossip, then I knew, I heard Mrs. Chen Hanlin was also very surprised, looking at that, I just heard that this is about you, coming out of Chen's mansion, I found an excuse, and hurriedly came over to tell you, thinking that you must not know, it seems that this word has only spread in the past two days, who knows where it came from first? Where are rumors rooted? Anyway, one by one said that they have noses and eyes, and there are really many people who believe this, and it is not strange that people believe it, even I feel that it is not all groundless when I hear it. ”
"How can you spread such a word?!" Li Danruo frowned and said, Lu Xinglin drank tea and said with a smile: "Who knows, there is a lot of messy gossip in this capital, don't spread this one, just say that one, maybe I saw that you made a hell of a dojo for Mrs. Jiang before, and it may be impossible to say if you have gossip, okay, don't go to your heart, it's not a big deal, it's nothing, it's just your old lady and wife, you have to have an idea, such gossip is easy to make people feel confused, besides, you are out of the room again, in the end, there is a layer apart, okay, I won't tell you more, I have to hurry back, it's getting late, and there are still a lot of things going on at home. ”
Lu Xinglin stood up as she spoke, and Li Danruo didn't leave her in vain, so she hurriedly got up and sent her out.
In the evening, Jiang Yanming came back, the two had dinner, Jiang Yanming was flipping through the book on the crooked kang, Li Danruo handed Jiang Yanming a cup of tea, retreated from everyone, sat on the edge of the kang, and told Jiang Yanming about Lu Xinglin, Jiang Yanming moved, reached out to Li Danruo's waist, and tried to hold her in his arms with a little force, Li Danruo frowned slightly, pushed Jiang Yanming's hand out and whispered: "I'll tell you the right thing." ”
"I know, come, let me hug, we are husband and wife, and we should be more intimate when we talk about business." Jiang Yanming moved closer again, put his face between Li Danruo's neck, stroked it all the way with his two hands, his face was against Li Danruo's face, blowing hot air and saying in an ambiguous tone: "We haven't ...... for a few days."
"What's wrong with you today?" Li Danruo was rubbed by him and awkward, and pushed him away and stood up: "If you want to do this and that, go to the West Cross Courtyard, I'm here, if you want to talk, talk well." Jiang Yanming exhaled, moved back with a bored expression, clasped his hands behind his head, leaned back on the pillow and said: "This is also popular in the market, don't pay attention to it, there is no shortage in the capital, it is these empty gossip." ”
"Since when did it begin? Have you inquired carefully? Even if there is no source of gossip, if it wants to be spread, there must be some reason, and this word is strange. Li Danruo leaned sideways and sat on the edge of the kang, looked at Jiang Yanming worriedly, Jiang Yanming waved his hand and smiled: "You have been thinking too much about everything for a while, you say, what can happen if you spread this word?" Even if anyone can't get along with us, spreading such rumors is useless! Don't think about it, this court pardon is also pardoned, and the seal is also sealed, I have a drink with Sun Qiye today, listen to his meaning, say that it is the Ministry of Rites and a few ministers, and want to push Yao Xianggong to do next year's main exam, you listen, it's a good thing, right? If this is the case, your third brother will be able to pass this subject. ”
Li Danruo was stunned, thought about it, and breathed a long sigh of relief, Wulang said yes, he was a little bow and snake shadow for a while, and he overthought everything.
This year's New Year's Eve, because the national mourning is not far away, the cold and deserted are not very lively, the people of Jiang Mansion gather in the courtyard of the old lady Cheng to have a lively banquet and eat the Lantern Festival, Li Dan if there is filial piety inconvenience, guard the east chamber on the kang, open the window slightly, hold a book, and look at the courtyard just lit up the candles and lanterns, from the morning, her mood is not very peaceful, Xu is the annual New Year's Eve is too lively, this year at first deserted, a little uncomfortable.
Li Danruo threw away the book in his hand irritably, put on his shoes and walked out of the door, Fat Hong hurriedly took the cloak and put it on Li Danruo, Li Danruo pulled the cloak and wrapped it tightly, stood under the porch for a while, the cold wind blew on his face, but added a lot of irritability, Li Danruo took a few deep breaths, stood with his eyes closed for a while, and suddenly turned his head and said to Fat Hong: "Tell me to prepare the car, go to Li's house, I will go to see my mother." ”
Li Danruo turned his head and instructed Doulu to take a few old ginseng and a few packs of snacks, went in to change his clothes, just walked out of the weeping flower door, and was striding in Jiang Yanming, Jiang Yanming saw Li Danruo and smiled: "My wife asked me to come back to accompany you, you want to go out?" ”
"Well, I want to go back and see my mother." Li Danruo said with a smile, Jiang Yanming looked down at the clothes on his body: "I'll accompany you, well, this clothes are fine, you don't need to change them, let's go." ”
Li Danruo said softly, although it was a little awkward, he still reached out to his waist and went out to the second door together.
When they arrived at the Li Mansion, Jiang Yanming and Li Yunzhi drank and talked about literature, Li Danruo gossiped with his mother and sister-in-law, teasing his little nephew, and gradually calmed down.
Li Danruo yawned, Jiang Yanming hesitated, reached out and gently put his hand on her shoulder and said with a smile: "Come, rest in my arms for a while." Li Danruo hesitated, moved, and carefully rested his head on Jiang Yanming's shoulder, Jiang Yanming's arm moved slightly and said gently: "Come in my arms, I will hold you, and it will be more comfortable." ”
"No, that's fine." Li Danruo said in a low voice, she also knew that the arms were warm and comfortable, the wife said, you can't lose your heart, she is his wife, just treat her with courtesy, get too close to that gentle township, one day she will indulge in it, so weak that she can't stand up.
"You weren't like that when you were a kid, why are you so restrained now?" Jiang Yanming didn't dare to move much, so he only said in a low voice, Li Danruo closed his eyes, and ignored his words.
Not far from Jiang's mansion, the car suddenly stopped in a burst of scolding, Li Danruo was caught off guard and rushed forward, Jiang Yanming hurriedly hugged her, and the two of them rolled down in the carriage together, Jiang Yanming hurriedly hugged Li Danruo and got up, pushed her in and whispered: "I'll go down and take a look, don't be afraid, wait for me in the car." With that, he reached out and grabbed his cloak and jumped out of the car, Li Danruo hurriedly rushed to the car window, lifted the curtain and looked out.
