Two days before getting married, the eldest son-in-law of the Li family, the second master of the Qiu family, the second son-in-law Di Tuiguan took the family who had a wedding ceremony in the house to help, and the fifth master of the Jiang family, Jiang Yanming, kept filial piety with the son's courtesy, and it was inconvenient to come over, the uncle of the Jiang family, the eldest son of the third house, Jiang Yanhong, and the eldest son of the long house, Jiang Yanzhi, the third master of the Jiang family, also brought people to help early in the morning.

Chen Qingmai sent off Di Tuiguan, watched the old servant close the courtyard door, took a deep breath, turned around, put his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly, and looked at the courtyard with red lanterns hanging everywhere, shining all over the courtyard to celebrate, sprinkle the golden double happiness word reflecting the slightly shaking candlelight, the golden light and joy reflect each other, the overflowing golden light shook as if to fly straight to the sky, he Chen Qingmai's future will also be like this golden light, will soar into the sky.

In the morning, the dowry was not happy, and it had already disappeared without a trace, this family affair, even more than the middle lift made him ecstatic, climbed the Li Mansion, even if it was a white body, the middle move was just a matter of time or time, and now he was lifted, he was also a smart and capable, and the high-ranking officials were just a matter of time and evening, not too late, it was early, what about the top four in the palace test? Don't you stretch your neck one by one and wait for the award! He is outside the top four, but he has already been sent, how polite the head of the Ministry of Officials is to himself, the head of the Criminal Department is chosen by himself!

Chen Qingmai sighed with satisfaction, now the second master of the left squire of the military department, the second master of the left servant of the military department, the first and other powerful figures of the capital government Di Tuiguan, and he are all brothers commensurate with his brother-in-law, even the Jiang family of the Guogong Mansion, in the future, he will often come and go to the in-laws, Chen Qingmai only feels dizzy as if drunk, this step, he stepped into the circle of the powerful in the capital, dowry, it is all a trivial matter, with a dispatch, with power, there is a lot of silver......

Chen Qingmai's spring breeze is proud, marrying a woman, sending away the guests who are crowded in the yard, it is already a person who is about to pass, Chen Qingmai drunk and crooked, staggered all the way into the room, the fragrance in the room is pleasant, the curtain or hanging or hanging, such as clouds and mist, burning Zhengwang red candles shine everywhere dazzling and striving for glory, the house is full of girls and mother-in-law beads wrapped in brocade, red and shiny on the bed, Li Jinrui is dressed in a red regular clothes, like a branch with buds and other flowers sitting upright, is shy and timid, eyes and waves secretly look at him, this is everyone's weather, wealth and enjoyment......

The next day, he returned to the door, but it was a little unexpected by Chen Qingmai, although everyone said that they were all smiling, but almost no one said anything, recognized their relatives, and everyone hula was scattered in a blink of an eye, Li Jinrui didn't mind, and pulled him straight to his mother's main courtyard and didn't come out again.

After going out and getting into the car in the afternoon, Chen Qingmai looked at Li Jinrui and asked with a gentle smile: "I wanted to talk to the uncle more and ask for advice, but the uncle seems to be very busy today?" ”

"How could he point you out? He doesn't even care about Brother Wei's affairs, don't dream, there is no good thing in this family, we will only rely on ourselves in the future, you are so talented, you will definitely be able to get ahead in the future, let them all look up at us when the time comes!" Li Jinrui looked forward to it, Chen Qingmai's face changed slightly, and he smiled busily and said, "Before you got married, you were unhappy with your sisters?" I look at my uncle, aren't they all good? ”

"You know what?" Li Jinrui pulled the corners of her mouth with hatred, muttering that her father was born and she didn't even find a good nurse, all the way to that she and her younger brother had been suppressed countless times, but she only skipped that she was ruined by Li Danruo and didn't dare to mention the marriage of the Jiang family, Chen Qingmai only listened to his face pale.

“…… I made this heart, and let the old woman take a good look, without relying on his Li family, I can also marry and live well, and she will be blind in the future! You are so motivated, I follow you, I am willing to endure any hardship, I don't believe it, you can still compare to their gang is useless?! That family, so far, not even a single person has been beaten, one generation is not as good as the generation, they will fight and bully our family, phew! Something!" Li Jinrui said that it was extremely painful all the way, and got out of the car in the second door, and kept talking.

Chen Qingmai had a white face, reluctantly sent Li Jinrui into the second gate, and interrupted Li Jinrui with a smile: "You go in and rest by yourself, I just remembered that there are still a few extremely important folds in the yamen, and they have to be approved tonight no matter what, you go back and rest by yourself first." ”

"Go ahead, I'll have someone prepare a supper for you, don't be too tired." Li Jinrui said thoughtfully, Chen Qingmai nodded indiscriminately, turned around and went out.

The emperor has been suffering from minor illnesses for a while, for the sake of prudence, Mrs. Ning strictly ordered her birthday not to be big, Li Yujing was deeply involved in it, and Mrs. Liu did not persuade much, only discussed with Mrs. Liu, took a thousand taels of silver out of the private house, gave medicine to help the poor, and personally went to the Daxiangguo Temple to recite the peace Sutra for a day, praying for Mrs. Ning's birthday, which can be regarded as a little heart.

On the day of Mrs. Ning's birthday, Li Shuihua and Second Master Qiu took the child, Di Tuiguan accompanied Li Yuju back for a lively day, Chen Qingmai and the relatives of the Li family, especially Di Tuiguan, walked very closely, and on this day, he also prepared a generous gift to congratulate him on his birthday, and drank a lively drink, but he didn't mention half a sentence to Li Jinrui when he went back.

In winter, Li Danruo's grandmother Mrs. Gao's health is not as good as day by day, Yang's anxiety is uneasy, guarding Mrs. Gao's side day and night, but she still failed to keep her elderly mother, in the early morning of November 7, Mrs. Gao's daughter swallowed a sigh of relief in her arms.

Yang fainted from crying, Li Danruo and Han San's grandmother took turns guarding Yang's, not daring to leave an inch, until Mrs. Gao went out of the funeral, and Yang stayed for another night, before he was reluctant to get in the car and go back.

Li Danruo returned to Xiayingju exhausted, slept straight for most of the day, got up and washed and changed his clothes, took Wei Zi, and took the freshly stewed red date lotus seed soup to his mother's courtyard.

At the door of the main house, Grandma Han San had already greeted her and said in a low voice: "My sister is here, my mother has slept quite soundly this night, and she hasn't woken up yet." ”

"I'm watching here, sister-in-law go back and rest, you have lost so much weight, and your face is not good." Li Danruo looked at Grandma Han San and said, Grandma Han San hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm fine, my sister is thinner than me, can you go to the warm pavilion to rest?" ”

"Well, sister-in-law, don't hold on, hurry back and have a good rest, you don't have to come over at night, my wife also sent someone to tell me, I don't have to go over at night to ask for a meal, my sister-in-law will go back and rest this night, my mother is here I watch, tomorrow morning, my sister-in-law will replace me." Li Danruo held Han San's grandmother and persuaded her to push her out in a low voice, Han San's grandmother looked hesitant, Li Danruo continued with a smile: "Mother wakes up, my heart must be sad again, I accompany her to talk quietly, persuade her, I can't get tired, my sister-in-law's face is not good, I have to take a good rest, and I just asked Mama Shen to tell my aunt, ask a doctor to come over and give you a consultation, your letter has been twenty days this month, maybe ......"

"I'm busy for a while, and I don't feel sad...... Disgusting, how dare you work too doctor? It's not a big deal. Grandma Han San blushed and said in a low voice, this sister-in-law is so calm in everything, even when it comes to these things, she also says that she is as indifferent as enjoying flowers and drinking tea, although she is a married woman, this article is far inferior to her, when it comes to these things, she still can't say it generously, and she is always shy and can't open her mouth.

Li Danruo sent Han San's grandmother away, turned into the room lightly, looked at his mother, who was sleeping face in, took a book, and slowly turned a few pages on the couch by the smoker, but he didn't care about the book, only looked at the bright light at the window.

Hongyun was gone, just a few days after she accompanied her mother to send her grandmother out of the funeral, Li Danruo put down the book and took out the note from her purse, crookedly, it was Hongyun's own handwriting, the words were very large, and Liao Liao said: "I'm leaving, it's okay, don't worry." "How could she not be worried? Mama Shen asked Pingfu to inquire, and even the head of the Wangjing class didn't know where she went, and she also left a note for the head of the Yang class, saying that she went home, went home! Li Danruo's heart trembled a few times, how could she have a home? Her family...... Went home and left......

Li Danruo was irritable and stuffed the note back into his purse, just now he had already asked Mama Shen to inquire carefully, and Hongyun left the note ...... The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, this 'going home', this 'leaving', thinking too much, it was not a good word!

Where can she go? Don't say that she has no relatives and no reason in this capital, in this world, she is all unrelated and alone, gone, go home, where can she go? Where can I go back? The last time the sixth young master of the Mingyuan Hou family was too big, a series of people ate and hung up, and even the three princes Duanwang were all down, the capital government was scolded by the eldest prince and couldn't raise his head, and he also lost half a year's money and grain, and the three yamen were involved, two of them hit the board, and the sixth young master of the Mingyuan Hou family was exiled for three hundred miles......

Li Danruo got irritable and stood under the window, looked up at the yellow leaves and withered old vines outside the screen window, and slowly put his head against the window lattice, his mood was as low as the cold winter outside the window, his grandmother was gone, Hongyun's life and death were unknown, maybe ...... She is really gone, she is so temperamental, she would rather make people hate her than pity her, even if she is dying, she is smiling and waving her hand and only saying 'I'm gone', the sisters are married, maybe it's good, maybe it's not good, this family is going to be divided, there is no feast in the world......
