Li Yuan suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Mrs. Cui and said in a deep voice: "You are really confused, you don't have to go out from today onwards, and you don't have to worry about these things outside, taking care of the house is a great help to me." After speaking, he didn't look at Mrs. Cui's expression, and called Li Xun and Li Manniang out to discuss how to deal with this matter. After all, something has happened, and it is useless to get angry at this time, so it is better to concentrate on thinking about how to remedy it.

Li Manniang said bluntly: "I thought this matter was not a big deal before. When is this? Regardless of whether Meng Ruren really got King Ning's signal, Danniang refused, and King Ning would not force her. It's that Meng Ruren's fox is fake and mighty, and it just so happens that his younger brother and sister are selfish, so they are confused and do too much, otherwise where would there be such a big trouble? If you want me to say, this Meng Ruren is really too arrogant, and if she is unsatisfactory, she dares to ask the Xue Niang of the Huang family to kneel down and apologize to her. I wonder how she is in the palace on weekdays? ”

Li Yuandao: "She is the cousin of the former princess, and she is also from a famous family. In addition to the first princess, she is the highest in terms of position, and King Ning looks at the face of the first princess, and usually takes care of her, but she is a person who thinks very highly of herself, but she is not very liked by King Ning. ”

Such a person, maybe he still has ambitions, thinking about being the second Princess Ning, no wonder she has to look for opportunities to please King Ning everywhere, Li Manniang frowned, and said: "Since her family identity is there, even if King Ning knows about this matter, she can't touch her root if she thinks about it, it's just a reprimand and a little punishment." The Huang family is not afraid of offending her, but I am only afraid that she will anger Danniang. Therefore, you have to reject her in person at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, and do it properly, for example, Danniang is sick or something, as for King Ning, think of another appropriate way to slowly test it. ”

Li Yuan sighed: "I think so too, the He family still has to bother Sister Lao to go tomorrow morning to apologize for us, and when this matter is completely clean, I will come to apologize." This kinship can be remedied as much as it can be remedied. ”

Li Manniang smiled bitterly: "Who am I not going to go to?" ”

Li Yuan glanced at Li Xun and said, "This matter is indeed mishandled by your mother and overdone. But no matter how much she is, it's also a fact that she is dedicated to you. You've listened to me, how can there be so many things? That's it, I won't talk about you anymore, you can do it yourself. ”

Li Xun responded lightly, got up and said, "I'm tired, go to sleep first." ”

Li Manniang saw him walking away, turned back to Li Yuan and said, "You have to be careful, Meng Ruren is not a good thing, there are two of these kinds of things." The does things without caring about the end, can she shirk next time she does it? What's more, even his niece is willing to come forward to help, let alone other people. Send a woman to King Ning, and tie up the woman in the backyard, spreading it will ruin your reputation, and even bringing children will be affected, I don't think she will have any more contact with people over there in a short time. ”

Li Yuan sighed: "Sister, you didn't say that I also planned to do this, I didn't say her before, because it was in front of the child." Don't worry, I'll let her stay at home and recuperate. ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Li Manniang rushed to the He family before the man of the He family went out, and the porter was taken aback when he saw that it was her, and he was a little unsure whether to let her in directly as usual, or whether he should go to report it. was hesitating, but Li Manniang gave him a false whip and said with a smile: "Hurry up and get out of the way, I won't spare you if I miss my business." ”

The porter saw that she was smiling, and her attitude was very good, so she also laughed: "Mrs. Li, you wait, I'll report it immediately." ”

Li Manniang also noticed the difference, laughed, and thought that her brother and daughter-in-law had only made such a fuss yesterday, and it was normal for people to be angry, so she sat in the gatehouse and waited. She didn't wait too long, and Mrs. Cen quickly greeted her in person, although her smile was not very natural, her speech and demeanor were quite polite.

Li Manniang breathed a sigh of relief, shook Mrs. Cen's hand affectionately and walked in, and said with a smile: "I was not allowed to enter the door at first, but I was annoyed with me." ”

Mrs. Cen smiled and said with a slight annoyance: "I'm not so confused. But you are not allowed to intercede for her, I am not done with her. Her child is a treasure, and my child is grass? ”

"It's all treasures," Li Manniang said with a smile: "I didn't come to intercede for her." When he arrived in the house, the He family had just had breakfast, and they had not dispersed, and they were sitting and talking about some business and strange things in the market, and there was no bitterness and hatred.

Li Manniang saw the peony at a glance. Peony was wearing a rose-red robe, with a dark green eight-panel long skirt, a twisted gold thread and a moire skirt belt tied around her waist, her hair was combed neatly and she sat next to He Zhizhong, put her hand on He Zhizhong's knees, tilted her head slightly, and listened to everyone with a well-behaved expression.

When everyone saw Li Manniang coming in, they all got up and greeted her politely, gave up their seats, and served tea. Li Manniang knew his family's temper, and although he looked good at this time, if he faced Mrs. Cui, he would definitely turn his face immediately. She didn't talk nonsense, and directly expressed Li Yuan's apology, so that everyone should not worry, and the matter will definitely be resolved.

He Zhizhong smiled faintly and was noncommittal: "A few days ago, I met a young Taichung Cheng who had just entered Beijing, and his surname was He. He likes me to be straight and drinkable, and he doesn't think I'm a businessman, and he has invited me to his house several times, and I told Danniang last night that I have to ask for advice on what to do with this bead. Since Yuan Chu already has a way to deal with it, I won't ask for someone with a shy face. ”

He has been in business for so many years, he doesn't just recognize and rely on Li Yuan alone, and his money is not all invested in jewelry and spices. There are people in Yushitai who are not afraid of death, and he doesn't believe that King Ning will give up his good reputation.

Li Manniang sighed secretly, the He family really hated Mrs. Cui, and this relationship could not be repaired. It's no wonder that the He family is like a great enemy, and the ordinary people are involved in the palace, and even their own relatives come to fall into the well, and they are sad, angry, and angry. After a little thought, she didn't mention it anymore, but expressed with great interest that she wanted to see the peony brand.

Peony thought that she was Li Yuan's sister and Li Xun's aunt, and she would feel uncomfortable when she saw that brand, so she shirked a little embarrassedly: "I don't know where I received it." ”

Li Manniang looked at her and smiled: "I don't know? Such an important thing, if it were me, I would have to make a little bit of it, a bigger one, and the words must be written in cinnabar to be eye-catching. Seeing that Peony's face was strange, he stopped asking, pinched Peony's arm, and praised: "Yes, it has been much stronger during this time." It seems that if you go hunting after the Mid-Autumn Festival, you will be able to accompany you. ”

Peony hung her head and did not speak.

Li Manniang looked at her and said, "Yo, this is because you hate me together, don't you have anything to do with me again?" ”

Peony hurriedly said: "No." I just don't know if I'll be free. ”

Li Manniang's eyes widened: "If you don't have time, you dare to go to the street with a sign, you are not afraid of death, and you are afraid of going out of the city with me?" Does it hurt you to know a few more people? ”

He Zhizhong said: "Danniang can go if she wants to." And said meaningfully: "Learn more from your cousin." "Businessmen, the more people you travel, the easier it is to do things, the more people you make good friends with, the more ways you can do things in the future, and the more you can protect yourself, which is a must.

Suddenly, I heard a mother-in-law come to report: "A lady surnamed Bai came outside, saying that she was a good friend of Danniang and came to visit Danniang." ”

The lady surnamed Bai, among the people who can be called friends, who else can the surname Bai have besides Mrs. Bai? Peony stood up in surprise, confessed to Li Manniang, and hurriedly went out to meet Mrs. Bai.

Mrs. Bai was holding a cup of tea, looking back and forth at the fragrant mountain in the hall of the He family, and when she saw the peony coming out, she looked back at the peony and smiled, and looked at the peony carefully and carefully, and saw that the peony had a smile on her face and was dressed decently, so she was faintly relieved and said with a smile: "Today's dress is very good, if you apply some purple nail decoction lipstick I gave you, it will be more colorful, and your complexion will be more delicate." ”

Peony smiled: "You are also dressed up quite beautifully today, but what's the good thing?" "Madame Bai is dressed up differently this time, very gorgeous, eight long skirts with pomegranate and red flowers, a wide-sleeved shawl with pure lotus silk, and a gold clay red silk shawl, but the gold silk crown on her hair is brilliant, inlaid with several kinds of gemstone beads, two carefully depicted distant mountain eyebrows, and her lips are coated with garnet red nail decoction lipstick, which looks plumper than before, plus the faint wood fragrance on the body, the cold temperament is also lighter.

When Madame Bai heard Peony's admiration, she gently turned around in front of her: "Do you think this is good?" ”

Peony praised: "It's very good." This flower crown, in particular, is particularly delicate, graceful and luxurious, but not unconventional. By the way, why did you have time to come over today? ”

Madame Bai said with a smile: "You are inconvenient to go to my door, I have to come to you, in fact, one of my aunts and cousins is about to get married, and I want to hold a flower-viewing banquet, that is, a few elders and friends and sisters who are familiar with each other, I want to ask you to accompany me." I wonder if you're available? ”

Going to a banquet at such a time? But Madame Bai came to the door again excitedly to invite herself...... Peony was very embarrassed, and after thinking about it, she still felt that it was not appropriate to go out at this time, so she smiled apologetically: "I'm just afraid that I will live up to your kindness." ”

Mrs. Bai stretched out her hand to straighten the skirt for Peony, and said with a smile: "I'm polite to you, are you really polite?" No, you must come with me today. She paused and said, "I didn't want to go, but it was almost for you that I decided to go." ”

Could it be that she already knows? Peony looked at Mrs. Bai suspiciously, and Mrs. Bai pursed her lips and smiled: "You are not interesting enough, you don't tell me about such a big thing, but you want me to know it from the mouths of others, it's really boring." Today, the Meng Ruren will also go, and when the banquet is over, you will thank me. ”

The meaning of her words couldn't be clearer, Peony was in a stirred mood, held her hand, and said with a smile: "I won't tell you because I feel that I can still handle it, but it's just a matter of time." Strange to say, from seeing He Zhizhong's calm expression, she also calmed down, thinking that this matter would definitely be resolved. Where does faith come from? It comes from the unity and love of the whole family.

Madame Bai said sharply: "Are you afraid that asking me for help will cause me to have a misunderstanding, thinking that you are dating me just to ask me for help, right?" You can rest assured, this person interacts with people, it is to support each other while falling in love, if you always take the level of the door to heart, I think it's boring. ”

"Who told you that? How did you arrange it so quickly? Wouldn't it take days to get a banquet or something? Peony smiled slightly, and did not refute her words. Madame Bai said this, but because she liked herself and was willing to associate with herself, so she took it for granted that friends helped each other, but if she had the mood and purpose of befriending powerful people from the beginning, would Madame Bai still think like this? No, it won't.

Madame Bai smiled: "Naturally, someone told me that it was enough, and people didn't want you to thank you." The host is not me, and the person who worries about it is not me, I just bring you over, and naturally there are people waiting for you to solve the problem. ”

Peony became more and more suspicious, and said with a smile: "What kind of nobleman?" Speaking of which, I am really lucky, and there are always noble people in my life to help me. Isn't it rude for you to claim to be my friend and not make it clear to me that I can't thank others? ”

Madame Bai smiled and didn't answer, but said: "Don't change your clothes, this set is very good, hurry up and go in and clean up your head and face, wear some beautiful jewelry, put on some fat powder, apply lipstick, remember to use the purple one I gave you, and don't use incense, ah, use this." Ordered to hand over an ivory carved locket, opened it to the peony with his own hands, inside were two wooden rhinoceros balls the size of pigeon eggs, tied in one place with colorful silk threads, fresh and lovely.

Mrs. Bai lowered her sleeves behind her wrists, revealing the two flower balls she was wearing: "This morning, when the sky was light, they went to pick the wood rhinoceros to tie the knot, and it is best to wear it on the wrist, and the fragrance is just right." Even I, who has never liked this taste, fell in love with it, and you young and fresh are just trying it. Remember to bring the string of beads that Meng Ruren gave you, and we will return her later. ”

Peony asked Shu'er to take the flower ball, asked Kuan'er to invite the Xue family to accompany Mrs. Bai, and she entered the house to give Mrs. Cen a favor, and then sued Li Manniang, and went to clean up without mentioning it.

After a while, Peony packed up and came out, Mrs. Bai's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "I seem to have returned to the situation when I first saw you, and it is also so vivid and bright." Come to think of it, that person will like you. ”

Peony Qi said: "Who is it?" Madam, don't sell off. ”

Madame Bai smiled: "Just call me Ah Xin." Let's go. ”

Peony followed Mrs. Bai out of Xuanpingfang, turned a corner, walked directly along the street, and after arriving at Chongye Fang, she went straight to Fuyunguan. Peony didn't expect to go to the Taoist temple, so he smiled and said: "I heard that there is a princess and a female crown living here, and even when I bought peony peony, I couldn't go in." Could it be that we are actually visiting her today? ”

Madame Bai smiled: "I just went to her, but this matter has nothing to do with her, it's just that someone borrowed her place for use." These days, the wooden trees there are blooming very well, and it is a good place for banquets. ”

Entering the Fuyun Temple, a young and beautiful female Taoist priest immediately stepped forward and introduced everyone into the back view. Before I reached the ground, I felt that the breeze was blowing, and the unique sweet fragrance of the wood came to my nose. Peony took a deep breath and said with a smile: "It's so fragrant." ”

The female Taoist priest who led the way smiled: "It is more comfortable for guests to enter inside." ”

As he spoke, he turned into a winding path paved with stones and golden cinnamon planted beside the road. Halfway through the road, there was a faint sound of a woman's cheerful laughter in front of me, which seemed to be very lively, and after a few steps forward, I saw two women, one red and one blue, laughing and chasing each other not far away.

Nian Yu pointed to one of the women who was combing her double and looking at the fairy bun, wearing a pomegranate red silk short and short skirt of the same color, with a plump figure, who was pinching her companion's neck and laughing wildly: "Madam, isn't that the Qiu family's Manniang?" She is the host, she doesn't sit inside to accompany the guests, she wants to run out and chase people, and she still has the same temperament as before. ”

Mrs. Bai looked at Peony with a smile and said, "Look, it's all a group of wild girls." The age is not much younger than you, it is the age of freedom and innocence, just the right time to play. ”

Although Madame Bai was laughing, Peony heard a hint of melancholy in her tone. Thinking back to the strange way she got along with Pan Rong and her husband, Peony secretly thought that Mrs. Bai was probably not very happy.

The two women had already spotted them and ran over happily, Qiu Manniang looked at the peony curiously, and greeted Madame Bai: "Cousin Xin, I thought you weren't coming." ”

Madame Bai pinned the broken hair that had been scattered due to the fight behind her ear for her, and said with a smile: "I want to come." Is Princess Min here? ”

"Not yet, now there are a few sisters in my family." Qiu Manniang pointed to the peony and said, "Who is this sister?" It's so good-looking, and this dress is pretty well matched. ”

Mrs. Bai obviously didn't mean to seriously introduce the identity of Peony to her, but only said lightly: "My good friend, surnamed He, nicknamed Peony, all call her Danniang." ”

Qiu Manniang frowned slightly, biting her bright red lip lightly, obviously thinking about what kind of family surnamed He was in Beijing. Peony had already ordered Shu'er to hand over the tin box in his hand, and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry to come to the banquet without your invitation, this is a Qinan incense fan pendant, which is quite exquisite, and the meaning is good, please don't dislike it." ”

Qiu Manniang saw that the peony said politely, and saw that the tin box was exquisite, so she smiled slightly and took it with her own hands, and did not shy away from anything, and opened it in front of everyone, but saw that the tin box was two layers, the first layer was filled with a little honey to nourish the fragrant wood, and the second layer, full of Qinan incense, there was a fan pendant carved into the style of bat Ganoderma lucidum, which was really very exquisite, and it was also very suitable for those who were about to get married.

Qiu Manniang immediately asked the maid next to her to take it out and put it on for her, and said happily: "I like it so much" At the moment, she even had a good impression of the peony, and she didn't have the heart to investigate the origin of the peony. turned to enthusiastically point to the female companion in blue next to him and introduce him to Mrs. Bai and Peony: "This is Ah Lan of the Qin family, we have only known each other for a long time, but we both like each other very much." ”

Qin Alan stepped forward generously to greet Mrs. Bai, she was born with skin like jade, long eyebrows and big eyes, a little square chin, exquisite figure, and a young man, she is also a beautiful woman, her demeanor is very calm and generous, although her appearance is much simpler than Qiu Manniang, she has a rich and romantic temperament that is difficult to hide.

Madam Bai glanced at Qin Alan up and down, and said with a smile: "You are from the Qin clan in Taiyuan, right?" ”

Qin Alan smiled, and a shallow pear vortex appeared on the left side of his face: "Exactly, I am ranked twenty-six in the clan." Princess Xianning is my own sister. ”

When Peony heard this, she couldn't help but look at Qin Alan twice, and sure enough, she vaguely found some shadows of Princess Ning from her. It's just that Princess Ning gives the impression that she is more gentle and moist as a whole, while Qin Alan, for the sake of her somewhat square chin, is a little more resolute.

Madame Bai nodded and said slowly, "You are the youngest sister of Princess Xianning?" Your sister is a good person. ”

Qin Alan's eyes were red, and he hung his head and was silent.

Seeing this, Qiu Manniang shouted: "Cousin Xin, you are here to cause other people's sad things again, today I am the biggest, who is not allowed to mention sad things, only laughing" As she spoke, she hugged Qin Alan's shoulders and pushed forward, walked a few steps, and then turned back to look at Peony and smiled: "Sister He, don't be restrained, you can play as much as you want." ”

Madame Bai raised her chin: "Go ahead, leave us alone." ”

Qiu Manniang couldn't wait for her words, hugged Qin Alan and whispered a few words, the two let out a low laugh, and ran away quickly holding hands.

Peony had time to ask Mrs. Bai at this time: "Ah Xin, is the noble person you are talking about Princess Min?" Is King Min the imperial uncle? ”

Madame Bai smiled: "You also know King Min? That's just right, no wonder. ”

The second monk of Peony Zhangzhang was puzzled, "King Min saw him from afar when he watched the horse beating in King Ning Zhuangzi that time, and he only knew that he was the emperor's uncle, and the rest didn't know about it." ”

Madame Bai dragged out her voice and said, "I see." I understand. ”

Seeing her face, Peony pouted and gently pinched her arm: "What are you doing, smiling so badly." ”

Madame Bai smiled and said, "I'll tell you the truth, someone asked Princess Min to stand up for you." Princess Min is not a woman from a family, she loves to avenge the wronged woman in the world, and if she says something strange to you later, or does something surprising to you, you don't want to be surprised, just admit it. ”

Peony was itchy by her, and pulled her sleeve and didn't follow: "Who the hell is it, if you don't say I won't let you go." ”
