Chapter 171 News

Xiao Dong knew very well in his heart that Li and her were not all the way, and they would never be able to talk together. There may be many reasons why she came to the door, and the most unlikely is that she wants to interact more because she likes herself.

Since he knew that the other party must not be sincere in his heart, Xiao Dong was of course not enthusiastic.

Last time, she didn't treat her as an outsider, and directly let her enter Yufang Pavilion, but today Xiaodong let her go to the West Flower Hall according to the usual practice of hospitality.

Xiao Dong was not as casual as last time, and changed his clothes before passing.

However, Li's expression is not the same as last time, although he was secretly sharp last time, his face is still a group of harmony, and he looks dignified and graceful. But today it looks different. His face was gloomy, and his hand holding the teacup was so hard that his fingertips were white.

What's wrong with her? Where did you get angry? Or did the husband and wife quarrel and come to seek justice?

cough, having said that, although Xiao Dong doesn't feel very good about her, but she really wants to quarrel with Shen Jing, Xiao Dong must persuade peace. Shen Jing's young ambition must be a little sharp. If a small quarrel becomes a big one, not only will others see the jokes, but the reputation of the Shen family and the Li family and the relationship between the two families will not be good. As the saying goes, if husband and wife don't get along, they also bully, and if there is anything, they can discuss it behind closed doors.

"Why does my cousin have time to come and see me today? The weather has been bad lately, so my cousin should be careful. Xiao Dong instructed the maid: "Quickly bring a cup of iced fruit sher." ”

Li put down the teacup and nodded stiffly: "Suddenly come to the door, please don't be surprised." ”

Xiao Dong saw that her demeanor was very different from usual, and wondered if it was a husband and wife, the Li family should not be so uncontrollable.

Li straightened her waist, she was originally sitting up straight, so it was even more like a stake: "I sent some local products of Jinzhou to the county lord." ”

The subordinates on the side sent several large boxes, and Xiao Dong was slightly surprised: "My cousin-in-law is too polite." I ate your food last time, and I haven't returned the gift yet. ”

Li didn't sit more, put down the gift and hurriedly said goodbye, Xiaodong let people open the box to see, it was all good things, one of the rectangular brocade boxes contained a pair of landscape embroidery paintings, exquisite craftsmanship, far-reaching artistic conception. Xiao Dong and Shen Jing have been together for many years, and they recognized at a glance that the painting was Shen Jing's own handwriting, but the embroiderer didn't know whose it was.

Hu Shi looked at the gift and said with a smile: "I'm afraid this Shen Sanshao grandmother is here to make amends." ”

"Reparations?"

"This painting is obviously the handiwork of the young master, I heard that the young grandmother Shen San and the officials in the young master's department are not very good, many people say that she is a hillbilly behind her back, Yelang is arrogant or something. Young Master Cousin must have known that Grandma Shen Sanshao had offended her relatives and friends, so he specially prepared such a gift and asked Grandma Shen Sanshao to come over and make amends to the county lord. However, this young grandmother is really high-spirited, and if she asks her to apologize, she will definitely not be able to say it. Look at the way you just looked, you didn't come to give gifts as a guest, but you came to suffer, like sitting on pins and needles. ”

"Mom is talking about ......" Xiao Dong thought about Li's expression just now, and couldn't help but laugh: "This cousin-in-law...... I heard that it came from a family, but it didn't look like a city. ”

Hu nodded and said, "The daughters of the family may not all be the same. This young grandmother heard that her parents were old and had a daughter, and she loved her like a treasure, probably because of this, her temperament was a little unpleasant. But people come here like this when they are young, and it will be fine in a few years. ”

Xiao Dong deliberately pouted: "Look at what my mother said, I am also the pearl of my father's palm, and my temperament is not very harmonious - my mother is indispensable here." ”

There was a lot of laughter in the house, Hu Shi almost laughed, Xiao Dong hurriedly asked people to help her sit down, and poured tea for her. Hu Shi relieved himself and said with a smile: "If the temperament of the county lord is not harmonious, there will be no harmonious people in the world." Looking at Grandma Shen like that, I'm afraid I have to come today. I guess there will come a time when she will be embarrassed to go to the door of the palace again. ”

Hu's words are indeed right, and the Li family has not only not been on the door of the Anwang Mansion since then, but it is said that he has not been to the next place. I don't know if she was ashamed to see people, or if Shen Jing ordered her to do so. Anyway, when Shen Jing came again, Xiao Dong asked him, Shen Jing just smiled and didn't answer, and instead asked her if she liked the embroidered painting.

Xiao Dong nodded and said, "I like it very much, I made it a screen, do you want to take a look?" ”

"If you like it, I still have two words, and I can also let people embroider them, you can make banners if you like to do them, and you can also make hanging screens."

Xiao Dong pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay, since you say so, I'm welcome." I don't want you in vain, I have some pens and ink here, and I don't need to use them for nothing, let them send them to you. There are still some

There are a lot of new things in the capital, and the Li family's affairs have only been talked about for a few days before they fade away, and they are gradually forgotten. In recent years, the Lee family has come out again to visit relatives and friends, give gifts and invite guests. This time he looks much calmer and smoother than before, and his words and deeds are very modest. People also seemed to have forgotten what was ahead, no one mentioned it, and everyone was in harmony.

Xiao Dong sighed that Shen Jing was really skilled in training his wife, but when Shen Fang came to be a guest, he told the story clearly: "Where did the third brother do it himself, it was the uncle who sent two capable people to do this." Sister Xiaodong, you haven't suffered from your mother-in-law, those two mothers have always been powerful, I was stunned when I saw it, they held up the family law given by the uncle, how dare the third sister-in-law say nothing? The third brother can't meddle in this matter, she is not a fool, she has seen and heard a lot, and she also knows that she did misbehaved earlier, not only to attract shame and ridicule, but also to affect the third brother. ”

Xiaodong said: "I hope that from now on, she and her cousin will live a smooth life." ”

The nurse took Ah Da out, Shen Fang didn't see him for a while, and laughed and teased him for a while. Her son was taken by the mother-in-law in her hometown, she pleaded several times, but failed to bring her son to the capital. Xiao Dong saw it and motioned to the nurse to hug Ah Da away, so as not to let Shen Fang touch the scene again.

Shen Fang calmed down, and took advantage of the air to ask Xiaodong in a low voice: "I don't know why, a few days ago she suddenly asked about the fifth princess. ”

Xiao Dong was stunned for a moment: "What? What did she say? ”

Shen Fang didn't say much, only said: "She asked me what kind of person the fifth princess is." I only told her that I was the fourth princess to accompany the reading, and I was not familiar with the fifth princess, so she didn't ask again. ”

Did Lee hear something?

The matter between Shen Jing and the fifth princess is very secret, but when the fifth princess was dying, Shen Jing once invited Shen Qiang's husband Feng Yuan to quietly go to see her, Feng Yuan would not fail to tell Shen Qiang about this, and Shen Qiang and Shen Fang's sisters are so close that they can't hide it from Shen Fang.

However, it is impossible for these people involved to leak this matter to the Li family.

But why did the Li family ask about the five princesses?

Xiao Dong and Shen Fang exchanged glances.

The two of them knew this. Although they have never mentioned half a word, they are clear to each other, and the other party also understands the inside story, and they are on the same front.
