、、、、、、、、、、 "Let's go over there." Wu Jiuniang pointed to a tree not far away, and then retreated the maid beside her: "You guys are waiting here." ”

With a lot of ups and downs in his heart, he had no choice but to retreat from Mother Lin and Shu'er, and go down to the tree with Wu Jiuniang hand in arm. Zhen brought a child from a relative, and when he saw this, he said, "It's time for the banquet, where are you going?" People don't bring one either? ”

Wu Jiuniang smiled and said perfunctorily: "I'm a little uncomfortable, go stand over there for a while." "It's clear that I don't want people to know, and people ask too much.

Zhen's eyes rolled twice, and then smiled: "That Danniang takes good care of your cousin-in-law." ”

Peony nodded, and stood under the tree with Nineteen Niang, Wu Nineteen Niang smiled gently, and said a little uncomfortably: "Dan Niang, I want to ask you for a favor." Originally, I was embarrassed to open this mouth, but there was really no other way. You know your cousin's temper, he often says that you are not easy, and he is the least willing to cause you trouble, if he knows that I am looking for you, he will definitely not lose his temper, so if you can help, you can help, you can't help...... Forget it. ”

Li Xun said that it was not easy for him, and the last thing he wanted was to make trouble for himself...... Wu Jiuniang indirectly reminded herself not to forget Li Xun's love, but she is very good at talking, so that people will not be disgusted when they hear it, but they will feel a little emotional. In fact, she doesn't need to mention it, as long as she can help herself, she will definitely do her best to help, and she knows this very well, so it must be difficult to do. Peony smiled slightly: "Cousin-in-law, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." If I can help, I won't shirk it. ”

When Wu Jiuniang heard this, she smiled and said softly: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that a few days ago, an important servant of the Ning Palace's mansion and the seal of His Royal Highness disappeared, and your cousin has been tracking for a long time and has not found any traces, for fear that it will cause something big if it goes out." He wants to be strong, he is not allowed to ask you for help, he only cares about his hard work day and night, but he has lost weight in more than ten days...... I thought, we are relatives, can we help or not, it won't be okay to ask. I don't know if you can help find it? ”

An important minion and King Ning's seal? Peony intuitively felt that this matter would not be so simple. I don't know if Wu Jiuniang had her own idea because she felt sorry for Li Xun, or did Li Yuan instruct her to ask? Or, is it Qin Alan, who is about to become the concubine of King Ning? After all, Wu Jiuniang and the two princesses Ning have a very good relationship. She wasn't sure what was going on here, but she subconsciously felt that it wasn't easy, otherwise Wu Jiuniang wouldn't have mentioned this matter to herself in such a way. But in any case, it was about Ning Wangfu, so she couldn't help but answer carelessly. She remembered very well that Li Xun had spoken for King Ning at the beginning, but Jiang Changyang refused without hesitation.

Peony looked at Wu Jiuniang. Nineteen Niang's eyes were bright, with a little expectation, a little worry, and a little try, and said softly: "Danniang, do you think what I said is right?" Can you help or not, you let Chengfeng call me back directly, if you can't help me, I won't have any ideas. She looked at the peony and added: "It's not convenient to help find it, and it's the same if you help listen to some news." ”

Peony was silent for a moment and said, "Cousin-in-law, you are right, we are relatives, we must do our best to help those who can, and we must understand each other if we can't help." I'll get back to you as soon as possible. ”

That being said, Peony did not take care of everything, but left a lot of leeway, especially when it was said that those who could not help should understand each other, which shows that the possibility of not achieving their wishes is very high. But having said that, we can't keep chasing it anymore. Wu Jiuniang was a little disappointed, sighed softly, and then laughed again, half-jokingly and half-seriously saluted Peony: "I thank you in advance." ”

Peony also returned the salute to her: "My own family, what do you say thank you for?" My cousin helped us a lot. Let's go, let's eat first. ”

Needless to say, the joy and liveliness of the banquet went without saying, seeing Peony and Wu Jiuniang sitting together, several elders and sisters-in-law made fun of her and taught them some things that need to be paid attention to. Peony is just that, and these elders and sisters-in-law are usually familiar with each other, Wu Jiuniang responded modestly and politely one by one, and praised the other children in a cheerful tone, behaving very generously and likable, and there was no frame for a woman with five surnames, so she was praised by everyone.

Halfway through the meal, Wu Jiuniang suddenly covered her mouth and quickly turned her back, her expression was very painful. Peony knew that she was reacting, so she hurriedly handed her water and stroked her back. Wu Jiuniang endured it, got up and apologized: "I'm sorry, I can't accompany the elders and sisters-in-law to eat, I'll go back and sit down." ”

Peony hurriedly said, "What do you want to eat?" I let the kitchen give you alone? ”

Wu Jiuniang shook her hand: "There are many people and many things, don't make trouble for them, I'll just endure this." I'm not hungry either. Then he smiled apologetically, and took the maid's hand and went back.

Peony beckoned Shu'er to come up: "You go to the kitchen and ask if there is anything light and refreshing, and make it for the young lady of the Li family to send over." ”

Shu'er took the order, and didn't come back much later, but said, "Madame, please go." ”

Wu Jiuniang withdrew halfway, there was no way, if she withdrew again at this time, it would be rude, Peony said: "You go and tell Madame, if it's not urgent, just wait, wait until the banquet is dispersed." ”

There was no reply from Mrs. Cen. The table was scattered, and Peony went back to see Mrs. Cen, and the Xue family and others were talking around Mrs. Cen, and the family was smiling. Peony said, "What do you say is fun?" So happy? ”

Li said softly: "In the future, everyone will go home to eat with my father and mother every fifteen or nine." ”

Peony smiled: "That's a good thing, if I have time, I will go home to join in the fun." Looking left and right, Li Manniang and Wu Jiuniang were gone, so he said, "Where did the cousin and sister-in-law of the Li family go?" I asked the cook to cook for my cousin and sister-in-law. ”

Mrs. Cen said: "She is not feeling well, your cousin of the Li family sent her back first." Then he gave Xue Shi and the others a look: "Danniang, come over here and sit, I have something to ask you." ”

Xue and the others all went outside, leaving only the mother and daughter to speak. Mrs. Cen said: "I was supposed to tell you when the meeting was over, but I was afraid that you would be delayed by the matter and left first." I heard that Nineteen Niang wants to ask Chengfeng for help? ”

Peony smiled bitterly: "There is such a thing. What did Nineteen Niang say to you? "I quit halfway because I was worried that I wouldn't do my best, so I came to find Mrs. Cen to get another insurance, right? It can be seen how much she hopes that Jiang Changyang can help with this, or how much she and the people behind her hope that Jiang Changyang can stand on King Ning's side. The wife that Li Yuan and Mrs. Cui chose for Li Xun was really good. Born noble and not arrogant, elegant and knowledgeable, and can really give Li Xun a lot of help in his future and career.

Mrs. Cen sighed: "I heard her mention it slightly, but she didn't say it in detail. But I think it's the first time for their family to open this kind of mouth, if you can help, you can help, in the end, Li Xingzhi has also helped us so much. Leaving aside this level of kinship, we can't let people say they are ungrateful. "The main thing is that this request of Nineteen Niang and the ones that Li Xun once helped Peony are really insignificant, isn't it just to help find someone and a seal?

"That's right. But it's not just about finding someone, and I hope I can help, but I don't know what's going on. Their relationships, stirring up, are very complicated. I'll have to ask Cheng Feng what he means before I can reply. But I think he wouldn't have shirked if he could help. "Peony is very rare, Wu Jiuniang is actually a little secret. Now it seems that Li Xun can't do a good job and needs help, but in fact, the person who really needs help is King Ning - of course, King Ning will not be good if he is unlucky with the Li family. But this favor is not so easy to help, and it is not something that anyone owes a favor to anyone and can do it by asking for favors. Although she was embarrassed, she didn't complain that Nineteen Niang secretly came to Mrs. Cen under the pretense of morning sickness, after all, it was a matter of the interests of the whole family and friends, of course, she should do everything she could, this is human nature, it is very normal.

Seeing her embarrassed face, Mrs. Cen said earnestly: "That's what I said, but you have to remember that you have to return the favor." ”

Peony couldn't talk to her in detail, so she had to say, "We'll do our best." ”

Mrs. Cen sighed and patted her hand gently: "I've been tired all day, you go back and rest first, you don't have to stay here, I'll talk to your second brother and them." ”

Peony didn't take a nap at noon, and sure enough, he felt sleepy, so he didn't hold on anymore, got up to say goodbye, and the first thing he did when he returned home was to ask Jiang Changyang if he was going home tonight. Shun Monkey went down the curtain and replied: "I heard that I have been very busy in the past two days, and the door of the workshop is probably closed after the busyness." If the mother has something to bring over, she might as well talk to the little one, and the little one will go immediately. ”

Peony thought for a while and said, "You and Gong said that I fell in love with Wu Jiuniang today." She wanted to ask me for help, but I couldn't make up my mind, so I had to ask the public to help me decide. "If that matter is really related to Ning Wangfu, and it is really important, presumably Jiang Changyang will understand it immediately.

Shun Monkey went to send a letter without mentioning it.

The days were getting shorter and shorter, and before the time came, it was beginning to be hazy outside. As soon as Mother Lin commanded everyone to set the table, Xiao Li ran over and said, "Lang Jun is back." ”

Then Jiang Changyang walked in quickly, and saw that the table had been set up, and the fragrance of the dishes was overflowing, so he couldn't help but take a breath of comfort and sat down at the table: "It's really lucky, just in time for the meal." Everyone's alright, right? Is it lively? Did you tell my second brother and sister-in-law why I couldn't go? ”

"That's it. They love the silver candlesticks you give. Peony mentioned a few words casually, sent Mother Lin and the others out, and slowly said Wu Jiuniang's request.
