Mo Li looked at the gilt and carved lacquer tea clock placed in front of him, and the people from the Yang Mansion also sent candied gold oranges to make tea. This is orange fruit or kumquat with honey staining, plus tea brewing, the tea is tinged with a faint gold, its taste is easy to match some fine refreshments, so it is most favored by the rich and noble, and the price is much higher than the general tea.

Her family does not always have this kind of tea on weekdays, and usually buys some to eat fresh during the New Year's Festival, and the tea set is not as gorgeous as Yang's house. Mo Li lowered her eyes, now she doesn't pay attention to these foods, in the past ten years, she has experienced everything delicious and easy to use, and if you count it carefully, it is actually all the prosperity of the eyes.

She picked up the teaspoon resting in the gilt rimmed saucer, and saw that the slender handle of the spoon made a bamboo pattern, the spoon leaf was as thin as an apricot leaf, and the center of the leaf was a hollow group of flowers, just right with the candied fruit in the tea. Put the teaspoon in the tea clock, scoop up a sparkling kumquat and look at it, and then put it down, remembering that Mo Xue seems to like this kind of tea, but she didn't eat it when she went to Xie Mansion yesterday. That day, Xie Fu prepared a bird's tongue, which was an extremely rare tribute tea, but her little sister whispered to her about it. Mo Li just smiled when he thought about it, and planned to go back later, if he stopped by, he would buy some candied oranges to make tea and go back.

"Mo Li hasn't visited the garden in my mansion yet, the flowers in the garden are blooming just right, although they are not as good as Xie Mansion, but the lotus flowers in Yingyue Lake are worth appreciating." Just when the Zhu family was a little restless, Mrs. Yang finally spoke again, and as she spoke, she called her maid over and smiled at Mo Li, "I'll let Chunzhi take you to the garden, and after I finish talking to your mother, the two of us will also go to the courtyard to sit." ”

Mo Li raised his eyes and looked at Zhu first, Zhu was stunned, and then he figured it out. Mrs. Yang must have deliberately supported Mo Li for the matter of apologizing in person, after all, she is the future mother-in-law, so she can't lower her posture in front of the juniors. Thinking like this, Zhu smiled: "When I first came over, I saw that the garden of my in-laws' family was very exquisitely arranged, and the flowers and plants in it were so good that they couldn't be named, and it was good for Lili to open his eyes." ”

"Then I'll be out of company first." Mo Li smiled lightly, stood up, and then glanced at the maid who came over, "There is Sister Lao." ”

After leaving the hall of the main house, when Chunzhi led Mo Li halfway, Mo Li suddenly stopped and praised: "The roses in this place are blooming so well." As he spoke, he walked a few steps aside, then sat down on a smooth stone pier and continued, "I will rest here, and I dare not ask my sister to lead the way." ”

Chunzhi was stunned for a while, and then said: "This, what kind of trouble is this, the girl is a distinguished guest, and the lady explained it, and it is my blessing to be able to lead the way for the girl." ”

Mo Li just smiled, but had no intention of leaving again. Chunzhi was a little anxious, thought about it and said: "Actually, these roses are not famous species, and they are far less beautiful than summer lotuses. ”

"Yes, but I prefer this kind of wild rose to a lotus." Mo Li turned his face as he spoke, took out a handkerchief and gently fanned the wind around his neck, his expression was leisurely and complacent.

Chunzhi bit her lip in embarrassment, and looked back and forth, this place was not far from Mrs. Yang's main house, and it was on the side of the road, and there were always people walking back and forth from time to time. But if the girl didn't leave, she couldn't force it, so after hesitating for a while, Chunzhi said again: "The girl thinks it's a little hot, I'll go and bring a fan for the girl." ”

"I'm tired." Mo Li smiled in a flash, and after watching Chunzhi walk away, she looked to both sides, waited for a while, and finally looked at the little maid, she got up and beckoned to the maid. After the maid came over, she smiled and said a few words, and took out dozens of money and stuffed it into the other party's hand. The little maid saw that she could get a reward just by running an errand, so she was happy, and ran away after smiling.

Mo Li sat down again, looked at the wild roses around him contemplatively, and after a while, he heard footsteps on his left. She raised her face, turned her head, and saw a man wearing a green pothos dark flower gauze straight jacket, stepping on Chen Qiao shoes with fine knots, cranking ink bamboo paper fans, white skin and clean skin, and a pair of peach blossom eyes.

At this time, all the subordinates of the Yang Mansion were gone, and Chunzhi had not yet returned.

Mo Li stood up and was about to go to the main house, but the man walked over quickly and stopped her: "Girl, stay here, why haven't you seen a girl in the house before?" Is it a relative? ”

Mo Li glanced at him and said in a low voice, "I was invited by Madam Yang to be a guest today. ”

"I see." As he spoke, the man glanced at Mo Li again, and it was difficult to hide the surprise in his eyes, "Dare to ask the girl's surname, oh, below is Mrs. Yang's nephew, surnamed Liu, with a single name, a strange surprise." ”

Mo Li smiled in his heart, and then shouted behind Liu Qi: "Hongyu." ”

"Ruby?" Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses, and when he looked back, he saw a maid wearing a gauze green skirt and a jade-colored silk pin gold sweat scarf tied around her waist was walking hurriedly from behind her.

"Girl." After Hongyu walked over quickly, she stood beside Mo Li, and then glanced at Liu Qi in confusion.

"I've been out for a while, and I guess my mother and Mrs. Yang have talked about it." Mo Li glanced at Liu Qi as he spoke, and left a sentence, "Young Master Liu is at his own convenience." Then he turned and walked away. Hongyu was confused, glanced at Liu Qi again, and didn't care about asking anything for a while, so she hurriedly caught up with Mo Li.

As soon as she walked back to the middle of the road, she saw Chunzhi holding a pale pink fan in her hand, leaning on the pillar and shaking it without a match, she suddenly saw Mo Li, she was startled, and hurriedly stood up straight to meet two steps, and smiled with an embarrassed smile: "Why is the girl coming back, I was about to send the fan over." Just as she said this, she noticed Hongyu who was following Mo Li, and she was stunned again, and then said, "This ......"

"I suddenly wanted to chew some fragrant tea just now, but I didn't bring it with me, so I asked the little maid in your mansion to help me call Hongyu in." Mo Li glanced at the fan in Chunzhi's hand and said with a smile, "Hongyu just came over, and it happened that the young master of the mansion was also enjoying the flowers in the garden, so I didn't want to stay long, so I came back early." ”

Chunzhi had no choice but to laugh: "Mrs. Xiangcha also has it, why didn't the girl say anything just now, I'll get it for the girl together." ”

Hongyu listened to it in confusion, just looking at her eldest girl's expression, she was very knowledgeable and didn't say much.

Mo Li smiled faintly, crossed past Chunzhi, and went directly to Mrs. Yang's main hall. As soon as I walked to the door, I saw Zhu and Mrs. Yang coming out of the hall together, and Mrs. Yang was a little surprised when she saw Mo Li coming back, so she deliberately smiled and said: "It must be that the garden in my house can't get into the eyes of your girl, so I didn't turn around for more than half a circle, and I got tired of seeing it back." ”

"Madame's words are serious, it's just that I just met the young master of your mansion in the garden, and I can't stay longer, so I came back here with a piece of red jade." Mo Li said and deliberately glanced at Hongyu, who had to smile reluctantly.

Mrs. Yang glanced at Chunzhi who was following Mo Li, and then smiled again: "It was my negligence, I forgot to tell you about this just now." ”

"Madame is gracious." Mo Li looked at the Zhu family as she spoke, "Mother, are you going to sit in the garden with Mrs. Yang?" ”

Zhu shook his head: "No, my mother will go back to Mrs. Yang first to get the health prescription, you don't have to go back with me, and stay to talk to Mrs. Yang, my mother will send someone to pick you up in the afternoon." ”

Mrs. Yang hurriedly smiled: "How can you use your in-laws to send people over, your in-laws can rest assured, our two families have been friends for so many years, this is my daughter-in-law who has not passed the door, I am as distressed as you, and I will send you back in person when the time comes." ”

Mo Li asked, "Is Madame unwell?" Why did my mother rush back to get it this time, and wouldn't it be the same if someone sent it over in the afternoon or tomorrow? ”

"It was taken for my sister, who was going to leave Yongzhou at noon today, so I had to bother my grandmother with a cheeky face. I'll ask Qiao's mother to go back with her in-laws, and then you can give her the recipe and let her bring it back, so you don't have to go to your in-laws' house again. ”

Zhu nodded, and then smiled at Mo Li: "It's rare that Mrs. Yang wants to keep you, so you can stay for a while, don't brush off such kindness." ”

Mo Li glanced at Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Yang smiled lovingly at her, and Zhu looked at this scene with a look of relief in his eyes.

"Then let Hongyu go home with you, although the car is stable, but you still need a maid to take care of you when you go back." Mo Li said and asked Hongyu to walk to Zhu's side. This is exactly what Mrs. Yang wants, so she flattered: "Alas, I almost forgot this, or everyone said that the girl was intimate, it would be difficult for my in-laws to raise Mo Li so well, it really makes me red-eyed." ”

Zhu was happy in his heart, but his mouth was tight, but he was modest, so a few people stood there and talked for a long time before Zhu led Hongyu out.

After sending Zhu away, Mrs. Yang turned her face and said to Mo Li earnestly: "I know that you suffered some grievances a few days ago, and you must have complained about me in your heart, so I only kept you for half a day today, so you can dissipate the anger in your heart." I hope that after you marry into my family, you can forget about those unpleasant things and live a good life with Brother Ming with peace of mind, so that I, a mother, will have nothing to ask for. ”

"Madame's words are serious, how can I have any resentment in my heart." Mo Li lowered his eyes as he spoke.

Mrs. Yang smiled lovingly, stretched out her hands with three gem-encrusted rings, took Mo Li's slender and smooth plain hands, and continued: "It's good to have no complaints, come, come in and sit with me for a while, and then have some refreshments, all of which I asked the kitchen to prepare for you." ”

It's just that before the two of them sat down and said a few words, a woman came in outside and said, "Madam, the spices that Mrs. said yesterday are gone in the warehouse." ”

"Why is it gone?" Mrs. Yang frowned, "Did you make someone buy it?" ”

The woman said: "I'm waiting for my wife to show it, is it for Steward Xu to buy it." ”

"That smell is easy to be faked, and Steward Xu is not good at incense." Mrs. Yang thought about it and said, "I'll go to the incense shop to see it myself." As she spoke, she turned to Mo Li and smiled a little apologetically, "This is another urgent matter, I don't want to leave you in the house, would you like to go out with me?" ”

"As long as Madame doesn't think I'm in the way, I'm happy to accompany me."
