The weather is getting colder and colder, and when it comes to the end of the year, Li is also starting to get busy, Xu Shan's marriage, Xu Jie's marriage has been rolled out, and it is expected to be decided after the year.

When sorting out the posts of each family, Xu Ting didn't see the posts of the Qi family, and she flipped through them again but still didn't see them, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried, but seeing that the Li family didn't seem to be aware of it, she knocked on the side and reminded, "Is the gift to the Rongguo Mansion the same as last year?" ”

Li Shi raised his head and thought for a moment and suddenly said, "You brought me the post from the Rongguo Mansion, I see what they sent here?" ”

Xu Ting pretended to look for it, and pretended to be surprised, "Huh? Why didn't you see it? ”

Li Shi was stunned, couldn't help but stand up and look for it himself, and sure enough, there was none, and his brows furrowed.

Xu Ting comforted, "It's still early, maybe it will be delivered in two days, and our family can also give gifts first, and it's the same!" ”

"It shouldn't be!" Li Shi muttered and shook his head, "It's almost a small year, it has been sent at this time in previous years, and every year it is the Rongguo Mansion that gives us a gift in return!" ”

Mama Wu on the side whispered, "The rumors outside a while ago must have known that the Rongguo Mansion was afraid that in order to avoid suspicion, there was no banquet in the New Year, and the New Year's gift appointment was also simplified!" ”

"Jane can't save our family!" Li's eyebrows furrowed even deeper, since the Qi and Xu families were married, even though there are few ordinary contacts, but this New Year's festival ceremony has never been broken, this little bit of etiquette has always been there for the Qi family, what happened this year?

Li suddenly became agitated, and subconsciously asked, "What about Sister Shu?" ”

Mama Wu replied, "Miss Nine is in her own room, two days ago, Princess Ji sent a box of cold and warm jade chess pieces, Miss Nine asked the master to ask for a few chess games, and I heard the girls say that Miss Nine has been playing chess games with them in the snow for a few days!" ”

Li sighed, "That's it! She doesn't know either! I'll go to my mother and ask! He instructed Xu Ting again, "You check the gift list again to see if there is anything wrong!" ”

"Yes!" Xu Ting responded, and the Li family hurriedly changed her clothes and went to the upper room, and when she arrived at the old lady, before she could ask about the Qi family, the Wang family asked her first, "What does the Han family mean?" Why is there no news after coming once? ”

Li had no choice but to suppress the words in his heart and answer the old lady first, "I have inquired about the Han family, then Han Gongzi is loyal and honest, but Mrs. Han is a little tricky!" I also asked a familiar lady to inquire about the attitude of the Han family, and the Han family is very willing to marry our family, but because Mrs. Han offended our family by indiscriminately visiting the teacher to ask about the crime, she couldn't pull her face down for a while! ”

Wang nodded, "It's good to dry it to kill the prestige of the Han family, but the Han family is also sensible and interesting, so they didn't publicize this matter, and when they found an opportunity to meet outside after the New Year, they can also logically resolve the previous estrangement and settle the family affairs seriously!" ”

"My daughter-in-law thinks the same way, the Shangyuan Lantern Festival at the beginning of the year is a good opportunity, every family has to go out that day, and it won't be too embarrassing to meet it on the street!"

Wang asked again, "Brother Shan'er will be twenty years old, and it is really unreasonable to have a family at this age!" Wang's words were quite a knock on Li's.

Li Shi pulled the corners of his mouth coldly, but his posture was still as deferential as ever, "The concubine has discussed with the master, picked a few suitable people, and took advantage of the opportunity to give gifts under the New Year, so as to explore the wishes of the other party, and the New Year can be settled!" ”

Since Xu Hui participated, the Wang family was also relieved, "The six girls are also settled, but what about the seven girls?" ”

Li Shi then said, "The daughter-in-law came to discuss this matter with her mother!" ”

"What? Are you already optimistic about others? Wang was stunned, she knew a little bit of Li's thoughts, she had been staring at the Qi family for so many years, it was difficult to suddenly change her mind.

Li waved his hand and dismissed his subordinates, "My daughter-in-law's mother also knows her thoughts, so I won't hide it, I want to marry Sister Ting into the Rongguo Mansion!" Everyone knows that Sister Shu'er is like this, the Qi family will not be willing to marry her, and the Qi family's lukewarm attitude towards our family over the years has also shown their attitude, and there is no need for our family to take the initiative to send them to the door to be humiliated when they know the Qi family's thoughts! It's better to directly let Sister Ting replace Sister Shu, Sister Ting'er is thoughtful, quiet and elegant, and the Qi family can't find the slightest mistake, so that it not only completes a marriage, but also exempts the two families from the crime of resisting the decree! ”

"Then you are sure that the Rongguo Mansion is willing to let Sister Ting replace Sister Shu?" Wang squinted, and a sharp gaze shot at Li from the slit in his eyes.

Li replied calmly, "The Qi family has no choice!" ”

"Not necessarily!" Wang shook his head, his eyes were still so sharp, "Don't forget, the Qi family also has a lame son!" ”

"Let Sister Shu match a cripple ......"

Although this idea has risen countless times, it is fleeting, compared to Xu Shu marrying Qi Peng, marrying Xu Ting to Qi Rui can maximize benefits......

"Why not?" Wang's voice was calm and rational, "One is the concubine of the Qi family, and the other is the concubine of the Xu family, which does not go against the original intention of the first emperor to give marriage!" And both of them are disabled, which can be regarded as a good match, judging from the situation of the Qi family and the eldest young master of Qi, it is difficult for the eldest young master of Qi to have the right family affairs, and it is most suitable for him to fulfill the marriage contract! ”

"But...... But ......" Li couldn't think of a reason to refute, it is true that deep down she had compared the two methods of fulfilling the marriage contract many times, and it was obviously easier to accept Qi Peng marrying Xu Shu from the position of the Qi family, but personally, she was more inclined to marry Xu Ting to Qi Rui, Xu Ting was the most beloved daughter of the Li family, of course she wanted to give the best, even if the best was snatched from another daughter......

"You don't need to explain, I know what you think, from the position of the Xu family, it is the best result to let the seven girls replace the nine girls!"

Wang's sharp eyes have already seen through Li's selfishness, but the benefits brought by Xu Ting's marriage to Qi Rui are obviously greater than that of Xu Shu's marriage to Qi Peng, so although Li is selfish, it is also the most beneficial to the Xu family, and the Wang family has turned a blind eye, and for the sake of the family's interests, Xu Shu can only be sacrificed.

"I've been paying attention to the movements of the Rongguo Mansion, you came to me today because the Qi family didn't send a New Year's gift this year, right?"
