、、、、、、、、、、 looked at the few dishes left in the kitchen, and felt that he couldn't serve them on the table, so he had to call someone to invite Zhou Banniang to come up with ideas.

Zhou Banniang heard that there was no food, so she grabbed a chicken from herself, pulled a few vegetables from the ground and brought them over, and slaughtered half of the chicken and fried half and stewed it in a short time, and after a while, she got a few fresh and delicious home-cooked dishes, added a jar of Yingzhou rich water wine, and asked Peony to be sent to the table, took the chicken money and vegetable money from Yuhe, put it in her arms, and clapped her hands and left.

Peony saw Li Xun and Jiang Changyang eating and drinking from a distance, one said, the other listened, and they seemed to be very attentive, so they didn't bother, and silently thought about the things they wanted in a few days without mentioning them.

In the middle of the moon, the other side finally dispersed, and Ah Tao came over to invite Peony: "Mother, what's going on there, the little maid next to my cousin asked the slave to come and invite you over." ”

When Peony passed, the table had already been cleaned up, Jiang Changyang and Li Xun were sitting face to face, one holding a cup of tea, talking about her garden, and saying that it was not easy for her to be a woman.

When Li Xun saw Peony passing, he smiled and said, "Danniang come here, I have already talked about the matter with Jiang Gong." It's getting late, and since Jiang Gong has something to look for you, he needs to say it earlier. He didn't avoid it, but sat there.

Jiang Changyang did not shy away from him, looked at Peony and said: "I told you yesterday that I will take you to my friend's house tomorrow to see the stones, and now that things have changed, I want to measure it with you first." ”

Peony smiled: "It's okay, but please be blunt, if you can't buy it, it doesn't matter." ”

Jiang Changyang said: "If you buy it, you will definitely be able to buy it." It's just that I learned this morning that things have changed a little bit at my friend's house, and that more money is needed. Several of our friends wanted to help him, but he was proud and refused to accept it. So I want you to buy those stones from him at a high price, and I will make up the extra money for you, what do you think? ”

Peony smiled: "This is really easy, don't worry, I will do it properly." ”

Jiang Changyang said with a smile: "But it's just that he is seriously ill, I can't accompany you, you have to go to the door and ask yourself." I'll take you to the neighborhood, and then you can go to the concierge and ask about it. ”

Peony responded, and Li Xun suddenly said: "Dare to ask Brother Jiang where this friend lives?" What is the last name? What kind of livelihood do you do at home? "Danniang has always been very stupid, and she has a good heart, don't accidentally give people calculations.

Jiang Changyang glanced at him and said quietly: "Yuan Nineteen, who lives in Lanlingfang, does not have any livelihood, but is a Qingkeer." I've known him for almost ten years, and he's still a good person. ”

Li Xun's face was a little unpleasant, and said: "It turned out to be him, I remember that he was a highly respected person in King Min's mansion, and King Min was praised by the saint two days ago, how could he be left alone?" Besides, isn't he very good at knowing treasures? How can there be no money? He looked back at Peony and said, "Danniang, do you remember Yuan Shijiu?" when we used to see it. The tall and thin one who went with Liu Chang and Pan Rong. ”

As soon as he said it, Peony remembered. She was very impressed by Yuan Shijiu's skinny nature, and the kind of attitude that appeared with Liu Chang and others, but always contradicted those gentlemen, to be honest, her impression of that person was not bad. As for King Min and his person, she doesn't know. However, she could hear a little meaning from Li Xun's tone and expression, about King Min would be King Ning's rival, Li Xun didn't want her to get involved with things related to King Min, right?

From the perspective of the Li family's relatives, she can understand Li Xun's feelings that she doesn't want to have any intersection with King Ning's opponent; But she owes Jiang Changyang so much favor, he is just a small request, for her, it is as easy as a gesture, this favor, no matter what, she must help.

And she is just an insignificant little old surname, what does it have to do with the competition between the princes when she buys her stones? King Ning will not be angry with the Li family because she bought the stone of King Min's Mansion Qingke, if this is the case, before the businessmen in the world sell things, they must first ask the other party's identity. So what else is this business going to do? Could it be that he came to buy peonies with her in the Min Palace, and she didn't sell them? What if it doesn't sell? Waiting to find death? Therefore, Peony was only silent for a moment, and then said: "I remember him, he is very good at treasures, and he is not bad." ”

Jiang Changyang was in the middle of it, so it was naturally easier to understand what Li Xun meant, smiled lightly, and said: "It's a time when people are in trouble, it has nothing to do with who he has served, and how powerful that person is; He was in dire need of money, and it had nothing to do with his ability. Those who have a daughter and have no worries about food and clothing are not necessarily the dragons and phoenixes among the people, and the woodcutters in the mountains are not necessarily the uninformed mountain villagers. Of course, if He Niang is inconvenient, I will find someone else. ”

Peony caught the word "once" he used, that is, Yuan Shijiu no longer served King Min, so it had nothing to do with King Ning's mansion. She is just a businessman, a businessman who owes a favor to repay, and she said seriously: "I'm convenient." It's very convenient. ”

Jiang Changyang laughed happily and said, "Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble." ”

Seeing Jiang Changyang looking at Peony and smiling, and Peony refused to listen to his words, and insisted on doing what Jiang Changyang wanted, Li Xun's heart suddenly rose an evil fire, he looked at Peony unhappily, and said: "In this case, when the time comes, I will find another person to buy it for you, and you can do whatever you have to do." ”

Peony glanced at Li Xun quickly, and said quietly: "Cousin, thank you for your concern." But it's just a small thing, I can do it myself. Hugh wants to say that Li Xun's behavior at this time is inappropriate, just say that her desire to live in this world without relying on anyone will not allow her to beg for help no matter how big or small.

Peony's tone is very soft, but the meaning that cannot be refused is strong. Li Xun had never heard her speak to himself in such a tone, and while he was shocked that he was out of shape, he was also a little unacceptable. He pursed his lips tightly and looked at Peony, who looked at him quietly, his eyes were dark and shining, and there was an emotion that he felt very unfamiliar with. Such a peony is becoming more and more unfamiliar, and he is getting farther and farther away. Yes, she will only get farther and farther away from him, and the emotions that have accumulated over the past few days suddenly rushed to his chest, and he looked at Peony aggrieved and resentful, without saying a word.

Seeing this, Jiang Changyang got up and said, "It's not too early, I'll leave first." Tomorrow, I will wait for you on my mouth. ”

Peony said "hey" and got up to send it, Jiang Changyang glanced at Li Xun and said, "He Niang doesn't have to be polite, you are busy." ”

Peony was not polite, asked Yuhe to send his master and servant out, turned around and poured a pot of tea for Li Xun, who had been staring at him, and handed it over with both hands. Li Xun didn't answer, still pursed her lips tightly, and stared at her.

Peony looked at him like this, and his scalp was a little numb. Thinking that he has given him so much help, and he is still a relative no matter what, it is necessary for him to talk to him about his thoughts, and there is no need to make him feel uncomfortable. Then he said: "Cousin, are you worried that Yuan Shijiu and I will get into trouble if we buy stones?" I don't know what the situation of King Min Mansion and King Ning Mansion is like now, I just think that I am a businessman, and buying stones is just a trivial matter, not to mention, I still owe Jiang Gong a big favor, and this favor must be repaid. But if it will cause you trouble, you and I will make it clear, and I will think of another proper method, and you can also get involved. ”

She considered all the feelings in every detail, Li Xun turned her face away angrily, and said after a while: "It won't cause trouble, I'm just worried that you will be deceived, in this world, there are many bad people, and they often get cheated and don't know what's going on." "He is jealous, jealous of all those who are unmarried and unmarried, and who can be rightfully approached to her.

Since it wasn't because she was worried, then she could put her mind at ease, and this thing had to be done. Peony was silent for a moment and said, "There are a lot of bad people, and there are actually a lot of good people. I can't just because I know there are bad people in this world and I don't want to go forward. No matter whether the front is good or bad, I will always move forward, and no one can replace me. Just like your cousin, your life is at your feet, how you should go, how you have to go. ”

Li Xun said hatefully: "You actually believe that he is a good person, and he will never harm you, don't believe me, and deliberately avoid my kindness." ”

Peony gritted his teeth and hardened his heart: "I do believe that he is a good person, and it is also true that he deliberately avoided your kindness!" I heard that you are about to get married, and I don't want people to have any misunderstandings and make everyone feel uncomfortable. Your parents are not happy, my family is not happy, and I am not happy! "It's better to tear it as soon as possible, a knife is a pleasure, so that it is so slimy and uncomfortable.

The night breeze blew gently, the willow branches danced in the shadow of the moon, Li Xun was speechless for a long time, looked down at the projection of the willow branches dancing wildly on the ground, and said for a long time: "I just can't let it go, so I came to see you. He wanted to ask her if she would wait for him, but he probably knew the answer for a long time, so he never dared to ask. It's ridiculous to think about it, he is about to get married, what qualifications does he have to be jealous and jealous here, and prevent her from associating with others?

Peony didn't dare to look at him, and said softly: "Nineteen Niang is good." ”

Li Xun chuckled: "Who knows." He straightened his sleeves and said, "I've been in a bad mood recently, I've drunk a little more, and I haven't negotiated things with Jiang Changyang, so I'm a little out of shape." If you see him tomorrow, bow to him on my behalf, and ask him not to mind. ”

Peony saw that the two of them seemed to be talking happily before, and thought that the two had negotiated the matter, but at the moment, it sounded like they had not negotiated, and couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Is it something important?" If he doesn't agree, what do you do? ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Xun had already chuckled, stroked her face lightly, and turned to leave: "You don't have to worry about me. I'll be fine. ”

His fingertips were cold, and the feeling of brushing across his face was like being brushed by a willow branch in the early morning, and the peony stood quietly under the shadow of the moon, watching him go farther and farther.
