Chapter 52: Misfortune (I)

After treating the wound and coming out of "Rongxintang", it was time for lunch, and the eldest grandson Xiaoniang originally intended to let Li Erlang go back to Dou Mansion first, and then let Li Erlang inform his maid to lead the carriage of Gaofu to come and take her back to Gaofu. (Her hands were bandaged into zongzi, and it was not appropriate to go to Doufu at this time.) )

Li Erlang insisted on sending her back to Gaofu in person, but the eldest grandson and the little lady couldn't resist him, so she had to comply, and arrived at the gate of the Gaofu, and after getting off the horse, the eldest grandson and the little lady who was about to say goodbye to Li Erlang suddenly raised her eyes and looked at him and said: "Erlangjun, today's matter has nothing to do with Princess Ruyi." ”

"Ruyi has always been at odds with you, why are you speaking for her?" Li Erlang was stunned when he heard this, and then couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and ask.

"Although she doesn't deal with me very well, she has never borrowed external forces to calculate me, Princess Ruyi, she is essentially a fair and upright person." The eldest grandson and little lady met his gaze and said with a serious face.

"Hehe, silly girl, I don't know what to say about you, don't worry, Ruyi is a princess, in terms of subordination, she is the daughter of the heavenly family, I am a courtier, and I am my cousin in terms of affection, how dare I trouble her or offend her for no reason." Li Erlang looked at the serious appearance of the eldest grandson and the little lady, and a touch of distress suddenly rose in his heart, his fiancée's temperament was really smart and open-minded...... As his mind turned, he stretched out his finger, tapped her nose lightly, and said with a smile.

"Jiro, thank you." The eldest grandson and the little lady looked at the gentleness and pampering between his eyebrows, his nose suddenly became a little sour, with Li Erlang's appearance, talent and family background, as long as he wanted, the nobles of the whole east and west and Beijing could be selected by him, although he said that he was engaged to him early, but now he is an orphan girl who is difficult to enter even the door of the family, if he wants to regret his relatives, he has no way at all, but he has no such meaning from beginning to end, and he is protecting himself like a jewel all the way......

"Say what? You and I have already been engaged, and after you are married, you will marry me justifiably and become my wife. Oh, Steward Wu next to your uncle has come out, you should hurry in. Li Erlang couldn't help but reach out and gently knock on the door of her head when he heard the voice, and then raised his eyes and pointed to the housekeeper of the Gao Mansion who appeared at the door at some point, and said with a little narrowness.

For the eldest grandson and little lady, Li Erlang himself can't say what it feels like, when he first saw this little lady, he felt that this girl was very suitable for his eyes, and the two families got married the following year, when he was still young, he didn't understand the relationship between men and women, but he felt that he could marry such a beautiful and interesting little girl as a wife for no reason, which was a very pleasant thing.

Later, as the understanding deepened, he found that she was more intelligent and lovely than he imagined, and her personality was far more tenacious and transparent than he imagined, her father and uncle passed away one after another, and the mother and son were forced to go to Gaofu.

But she has never had such negative emotions, nor has she ever complained about life, and she doesn't care about the criticism and slander from the outside world, she just lives her life quietly and methodically, in the second year of Gaofu, no one in Gaofu is half dissatisfied with her, which has nothing to do with her uncle Gao Shilian's family treating her really well, and she herself knows the general situation, acts in a measured manner, and is humble and courteous.

The more I know, the more Li Erlang is attracted to her, over the years, the little girl I saw for the first time has unconsciously settled deep in his heart, and has become the only wife candidate in his life, the second year of the death of Changsun Sheng and Changsun Chi, Tang Guogong Li Yuan once expressed the intention of retiring from his family, and then Li Erlang and Mrs. Dou and Li Xiuning unanimously opposed, and Tang Guogong gave up this idea......

Don't talk about Li Erlang's thoughts, but say that the eldest grandson and the little lady heard that the housekeeper Wu next to her uncle came out, she was startled, and hurriedly raised her eyes, and when she looked up, she found that the housekeeper Wu was standing at the door, pretending not to see that she was looking elsewhere, and the eldest grandson and the little lady blushed, and hurriedly whispered to Li Erlang: "I'll go in, and you should hurry back to Dou Mansion." Li Erlang knew that she was shy, so he didn't go over to greet Steward Wu, and quickly got on the horse and left.

"Steward Wu, but is my uncle back?" Seeing off Li Erlang, the eldest grandson and the little lady walked up to Steward Wu, and asked with a little unease, Steward Wu went out on business with his uncle a few days ago, this will be here, and his uncle should also come back.

"Back to the little lady, our Lang Jun was noisy into the palace by His Majesty, I went back to the house first, I heard that your hand was injured, is it serious?" Steward Wu saluted her, and after answering her question, his eyes fell on her palm that was wrapped in layers of straps, he would be standing at the door, obviously Lan Niang asked people to come back in advance to talk about it, and Steward Wu came to the door to greet her.

"It's not serious, it's just that when I was juju, I accidentally fell, it's not a big deal, just raise it for a few days, Steward Hu, let's not stand at the door and talk, let's go in." The eldest grandson and little lady shook her head, didn't say much about the hand injury, and quickly bypassed the conversation.

Although the Gao family is a famous family, it has gradually declined, although the uncle is quite famous in Shilin, but he is only a five-grade petty official who can get close to the emperor, but does not have much real power, Yuwen's family is the most powerful lord in the limelight, although the eldest grandson girl is not arrogant, but she never wants her uncle to face up to Yuwen's family because of such a trivial matter as his palm injury.

Steward Wu glanced at the eldest grandson and little lady with complicated eyes, sighed slightly, and finally didn't say anything, silently walked towards the house with her, Gao Shilian loved the eldest grandson brothers and sisters very much, Steward Wu is the most powerful steward around Gao Shilian, naturally he will not ignore the two children that the head of the family values so much, plus the eldest grandson girl knows etiquette and sensibility, after two years of getting along, Steward Wu loves and respects the eldest grandson and little lady from the bottom of his heart.

The eldest grandson and the little lady returned to the house, Gao and Mrs. Mu saw her hand wrapped in zongzi, they were both angry and distressed, and they chattered a lot, and when Gao Shilian returned to the house in the evening to see her hand, he was even more angry to go to Yuwen Mansion to seek justice, and was finally persuaded by the eldest grandson and Gao at the same time.

Everyone thought that the loss of the eldest grandson and the little lady was decided, but they didn't expect that three days later, Yuwen Qiao's mother actually brought a rich gift and took her daughter to Gaofu to take the blame, and the people in Gaofu thought that they were deliberately coming to the door to show off their faults, but later found that they really came to apologize, and they couldn't help but be surprised, until Yuwen Qiao's mother and son left, and finally got it from the mouth of the eldest grandson and little lady, all of which was mostly Li Erlang's handwriting.

Seeing that Li Jiaerlang maintained the eldest grandson and little lady like this, the Gao Mansion was extremely happy, because the first time he left the house after the expiration of the filial piety period, he made such a big thing, and then for a long time, the eldest grandson and the little lady resumed the door and did not go out, the second door did not step, and he was dedicated to entertaining himself at home, and the peaceful days always passed very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, a year slipped through his fingers.

In August of the following year, a catastrophe flew to the head of Gaofu for no reason, in the spring of this year (the ninth year of the Great Cause, 613 AD) the radical Emperor Yang of Sui disregarded the boiling public opinion because he could not afford the heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and led his troops to conquer Goryeo again, but he did not want to see that he was about to fight Goryeo to surrender, Yang Xuangan and the military department Shangshu touched Sizheng colluded and rebelled, after the defeat, Yang Xuangan committed suicide in defeat, but Hu Sizheng fled to Goryeo, Gao Shilian was involved in the whirlpool because of his good personal relationship with Hu Sizheng......
