Luo Lianfang was directly confused, she didn't know what this little princess wanted to do, why what she said was so inexplicable and unpredictable.

What the hell is she trying to say?

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the courtiers really don't know what you mean."

"Well, to put it simply, in fact, you should be able to know, I don't want to come to see you, it's just a waste of princess Ben's work, and since your Luo family has already given you a husband outside, you don't want to pester Brother Qingchu anymore, you know?"

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, this is a private matter of the courtiers, so I won't bother Her Royal Highness the Princess to worry about it."

"You mean to reject Her Royal Highness the Princess, right?"

"It's not about refusal or refusal, marriage events, parents' orders, and matchmakers' words. If Her Royal Highness the Princess likes Lord Qi, she can make it clear to Her Majesty. ”

The reason why Luo Lianfang said this was actually based on Chu

of the national conditions of the country.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, most of the princesses of Chu have been married involuntarily, and most of them have been sent to other countries as objects of harmony.

Even if Princess Yitian is His Majesty's little princess, the most beloved princess, it is very likely to be sent away.

If Jiang Xicheng likes Qi Qingchu, according to her character, she must have mentioned it to His Majesty more than once.

If it doesn't work out, it means that His Majesty doesn't agree to their marriage.

Sure enough, when Luo Lianfang finished speaking, it was obvious that Jiang Xicheng's face was stiff.

"This princess said that it has nothing to do with you, at least if Brother Qingchu marries me, he will definitely take the initiative to propose to me." It means that for so many years, Luo Lianfang has been by Qi Qingchu's side, but Qi Qingchu did not propose to marry her.

Jiang Xicheng doesn't know if it's embarrassing, but Luo Lianfang is ashamed.

She didn't go out for a while before, and she didn't know that the streets and alleys were talking about the Qiluo family.

If it weren't for someone who took action and deliberately suppressed it, it is estimated that it would have caused a lot of trouble.

"How does Her Royal Highness know that the courtiers and Lord Qi are not friends? It's just a normal exchange, and you can't listen to all that nonsense. Lord Qi is upright, and Lian Fang also thinks that she has a clear conscience.

”

When Jiang Xicheng heard this, she knew that she couldn't get any benefit from arguing with her today.

At most, it choked her, making her feel a little uncomfortable.

In fact, she is not very good at running people, and if you want to talk about running people, it depends on her sister.

She came today mainly to laugh at her, and by the way warned him not to get too close to Qi Qingchu, otherwise she would feel unhappy.

But Luo Lianfang didn't realize it at all, but refuted her words vigorously, which made her very unhappy.

"A good one with a clear conscience, I hope what you say can be done, then let's wait and see." As a princess of the royal family, sometimes he feels that his power and influence are not even as big as that of an ordinary courtier, especially the Queen Mother, who likes her so much, just because she is a relative? It's literal.

She didn't know what to like about a woman like her, contrived and hypocritical.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess, walk slowly." Luo Lianfang didn't plan to talk to this princess well.

Luo Lianfang knew from the beginning that she was here to laugh at herself, so she didn't plan to talk to her properly.

Everyone has issued an eviction order, and if Jiang Xicheng stays here, it makes no sense at all.

She couldn't say anything to warn her, so it was better to walk away sooner than not.

"Since Miss Luo Lianfang is still sick and her body is very unwell, then Princess Ben won't bother much, after all, Her Royal Highness Princess Ben has to go back to prepare for the Lantern Festival."

Jiang Xicheng hinted at something, for Luo Lianfang, after Jiang Xicheng left, she would have to investigate carefully.

In this case, Her Royal Highness the princess will forgive the courtiers for being rude, and will not give more. Pinghua, don't hurry up and send it to Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

"Yes, miss." Pinghua said respectfully

Jiang Xicheng sneered, flicked his sleeves and left, and Luo Lianfang, who was ridiculed, had a gloomy face.

There are still a few days left before the Lantern Festival, and Li Jiye accompanies Li Jicai at home to do hygiene, except for going to the Hanlin Academy to deal with affairs normally.

Because Li Jicai was not at home for more than two months, and Li Jiye didn't like housework very much, so he accumulated a lot of dust.

The New Year should be dusted, but Li Jiye just swept it perfunctorily twice, which made Li Jicai very dissatisfied.

Because the Lantern Festival has to invite guests, Li Jicai brushes and fiddles with the three layers from the inside to the outside and the outer three layers, which is a little difficult to do in the winter, and the short warm-up overturning is useless, and after cooling down, I feel that my fingers are frozen and bent and deformed, and the joints are swollen and look like an old woman's hand. Li Jiye teased her, saying that her hands were as cold as a pig's paw.

Then he punished Li Jicai to boil hot water.

It snows in the courtyard from time to time, so I don't have to worry about it for the time being. There were some obscure hay herbs on the courtyard.

Now it's too late to repaint the tables, chairs and benches at home, so it's okay to be simple and simple. As for the two rooms, they were cleaned up and all the old and broken things were thrown away.

The big wooden boxes left by Mrs. Fan were moved behind the door, and then built up one by one, and she would explain when she was asked.

It stands to reason that most of the shops are closed for the New Year, but most of the shops in the capital are still open, and many new shops are opening at this time, and there are many people shopping on the streets.

Li Jicai had a deep understanding of this when he bought curtain fabrics. The curtain fabric at home was originally dark yellow without patterns, and it looked like it had been modified and worn with a rope through a few holes.

Li Jicai estimated that he could afford to buy a few pieces of good cloth and come back as curtains. So she went to the tailor's shop in the street and bought some pieces of pale green silk.

After coming back, she was mercilessly ridiculed by Li Jiye, saying that she not only had a problem with her vision, but also had a problem with her common sense, how could anyone use green silk cloth to make curtains.

He hadn't seen it anyway.

Li Jicai and Mrs. Fan only learned the sewing craft for a few days, and reluctantly hung up the curtains. Li Ji's night room didn't give the window to life, Li Jicai fought for a few times, and he didn't agree.

Li Jicai cleaned her room cleanly, stacked things neatly, filled in the uneven places on the floor, and if the conditions for the next year allowed, she would buy a floor mat for the mat.

The air was a little damp and smelly, and I missed the pleasant feeling of being fresh, clean, and fragrant in Qi Qingchu's house.

So, Li Jicai, who was halfway cleaned, walked out of the room and shouted loudly to Li Jiye's room with the door closed at the other end: "Li Jiye Li Jiye Li Jiye!" ”

There was a sudden "thump" in the room at the other end, followed by the sound of someone getting out of bed kicking their shoes.

"What are you shouting, the hypsophera in the morning, didn't I already boil hot water for you yesterday, and I want to burn it today?" Li Jiye said very dissatisfied, call him at every turn, when he is rarely on vacation, he still wants to stay in bed for a while, after all, if he usually has nothing else to do, he loves to lie in bed very much.

Li Jicai has not come back for more than two months, his life is a mess, he has not even slept well, and he does not want to make up for it little by little.

"Yesterday is yesterday, today is today, you can't generalize, okay, not to mention that I don't want you to help me boil hot water today, you go and help me go out and buy a box of incense back."

"Huh? What kind of incense do you want to buy? Li Jiye was a little confused and said that Li Jicai's idea was a set after he came back, and he couldn't keep up. In addition, it seems that the family has never used much incense, except for worship.

"The smell at home is too bad, I washed the incense burner today, you go buy some incense and come back."

"But the shops aren't open in the morning, are they?"

"If you really can't do it, you can run to the temple and steal it." Li Jicai said without thinking.

"What? Li Jicai: Are you crazy? If you lack incense, you can't run to the temple to steal it, although there is indeed incense in the temple, aren't you afraid of blaming the Buddha? ”

"If it wants to blame me, come quickly, day by day, don't they all say that the Buddha purifies all sentient beings, what will happen if you burn it two incense sticks?"

Li Jicai shows the true character of a businessman, stingy and theoretical.

"Okay, okay, I can't talk about you, I'll go out and buy it now, okay, give money."

"What? Didn't you just say that you were going to the temple to steal it? Now I'm asking me for money again, and I don't have any money. ”

"Li Jicai, you, you're poor and crazy, aren't you? I'm dignified, dignified......"

"What are you doing? Don't forget that you were a little beggar like me four years ago, how did you get over the years, you have to open up sources and reduce expenditure. ”

"Count you ruthless! You remembered it for me. ”

"Why are there so many words, go quickly, and take you out to go shopping in the afternoon, and then spend some money?"

"Shopping? Where to? Li Jiye, who had already picked up an umbrella and walked to the courtyard, heard him say this, and couldn't help but turn around to look at her.

"Yes, there are a lot of things to buy at home, hey, by the way, do you want to clean your house?"

"You're going to clean my room?"

"Well, it's still that women can't enter men's rooms

？ "She can enter Qi Qingchu's room, and Li Jiye's room should also be able to enter.

"No, no, no, I'll do it myself. What do we eat at noon? Do I need to bring it from the outside? "If he takes it out, he'll eat it in the store and come back.

"No need, I haven't finished the big bone broth stewed in the past few days, and I am slim at noon."

"Every day, the food with big bones has no taste, can't you change the taste?"

"You know what, it's good for you to eat this, you look at how tall you are now, and you don't grow anymore."

“……”

Li Jiye never felt how short he was, but when Li Jicai said this, he really doubted himself.

At least when he and Qi Qingchu stood together, they were half a head shorter than others.

"You're embarrassed to say me, look at your own height, you can't look short, just stay under Lord Qi's armpits, and it's not a good match."
