In the evening, Li Xia pulled Li Wennan and walked all the way to the courtyard of the second room, Li Wennan looked at the two large courtyards connected to the second room getting closer and closer, and hurriedly asked, "What are we going to do?" The second aunt has been fine for the past two days. ”

"It's not her, let's go see if we can meet the eighth sister, the second aunt has recently changed the rules, saying that the flowers at this time are the best, and the eighth sister should come out to pick flowers and put a vase for her."

"The second aunt is really ashamed, in the summer, she asked the eighth sister to pick flowers for her at noon, saying that the flowers were the best at that time, and in the winter, she said that the flowers were the best at dawn, and at this time...... What are the flowers good about? Li Wennan looked left and right, but didn't think of how bad it was at this moment.

"There are many mosquitoes in autumn, and there are the most mosquitoes in the evening." Li Xia answered idly.

Li Wennan let out a long sigh, "It's October, how can there be ...... There are still them, otherwise I don't know what tricks to give birth to, the eighth sister is really ...... Asha Asha! ”

Li Wennan didn't finish his sentence, hurriedly shook Li Xia's hand and signaled to the front.

The corner door of the courtyard in front was pushed open, and Li Wenmei, the eighth lady, held a large cloisonné enamel vase more than a foot high, and carefully went down two steps.

"Holding such a heavy vase to pick flowers, how did the second aunt come up with this? This torture is on the top, the second aunt is really smart and full of tricks. Li Wennan crossed his hands on his hips, and he didn't look angry.

Li Xia patted her gently, signaled her to calm down, slowed down, and walked up to Li Wenmei.

"Eighth sister." Seeing that Li Wenmei found a stone slab and placed the vase, Li Xia greeted her.

"Seventh sister, nine ladies." Li Wenmei hurriedly bent her knees to salute.

"What flowers are you going to pick today? Sister Jiu and I will pick a few branches for you. Li Wennan stretched out his head to look at the vase and the water in the vase, and laughed.

"Thank you, sister, I can pick it myself, and I have to tell my mother which branch was chosen where." Li Wenmei lowered her eyes.

"That piece of chrysanthemum is blooming very well, the eighth sister will go over there to take a look, by the way, eighth sister, tomorrow the seventh sister and I will go to the Tang family to fight the son-in-law, and then follow to the Changsha palace to watch the excitement, will the eighth sister go?" Li Xia said with a smile, and as he spoke, he stared at Li Wenmei's expression.

Li Wenmei's eyes widened suddenly, and after a moment, the brightness in her eyes went out, and she lowered her head, "Mother......"

Li Wennan's eyes rolled slightly, "A-Niang said that you are not allowed to go to Changsha Wangfu to see the excitement or anything, but we decided to ignore her!" After speaking, Li Wennan turned his head to look at Li Xia and blinked.

Li Wenmei raised her head violently, met Li Xia's smiling eyes, and then looked at Li Wennan, who was winking at her, her eyes flickered, and after a moment, she bit her lip and asked in a low voice, "Tomorrow...... When? ”

"Let's go over early, you are coming to my yard, clothes or something, you are the same height as the seventh sister, the seventh sister has the most new clothes, you wear hers, let's have a good day." Li Xia's tone was pleasant.

Li Wenmei bit her lip and hummed heavily.

"Then let's go." Li Xia pulled Li Wennan to turn around and leave, took four or five steps, turned around, and waved at Li Wenmei with a bright smile.

"Asha, what do you mean by that? The eighth sister ran out this time, and when she went back, the second aunt had to peel her skin? It was far away from the courtyard of the second room, and Li Wennan grabbed Li Xia.

"First, people must help themselves, and later generations will help them, and the day after tomorrow will help them, this first step, the eighth sister has to help herself; Second, you have to be a little timid, if you don't have the guts, you must not be able to stick to the wall, if you can't paste on the wall, we don't have to spend that effort. Li Xia pointed at Li Wennan, raised a finger, and raised another one.

"Makes sense!" Li Wennan exclaimed, what he said was so right, A-Niang also said so.

"Also, the score is good, let's watch it for a day tomorrow, as for what you said about coming back and peeling the skin, you are a dead person when you are your aunt? Well, you still have to peel it off, otherwise ......" Li Xia dragged out his voice and laughed.

"Otherwise, there is no excuse!" Li Wennan immediately picked it up.

"Alas, Sister Seven, don't say anything if you see through it."

"Just the two of us."

"That's not good, just the two of us, shouldn't we just look at each other and smile?"

"Oh yes!" Li Wennan slapped his face, annoyed, and smiled at each other!

Early the next morning, just after Chenzheng, Li Wenmei rushed into Mingcui Courtyard. Hu Ying hurriedly took her in.

Li Xia has always been a good upright, and at this time she was sitting at the table writing, when she saw Hu Ying coming in with Li Wenmei, she put down her pen and stood up, as if she didn't see Li Wenmei's nervousness and horror, and greeted her with a smile, "Eighth sister is really good to come, have you eaten breakfast?" Hu Ying, twist a few handkerchiefs, and wait for the eighth sister to clean her face. ”

Hu Ying agreed, smiled and let the frightened Li Wenmei go outside, beckoned the little girl to bring hot water and pot of balsam and waited, and several people waited for Li Wenmei to clean her face again.

Li Xia sat down, finished writing the rest of the words, and came out with clean hands, Hu Ying had already led someone to set up a table.

Li Wenmei saw Li Xia coming out, and hurriedly stood up, "I mean to go and see if there are any lotus flowers blooming in Houhu...... I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it for a long time. ”

"Don't be afraid, let's go with the eldest aunt in a while." Li Xia motioned for Li Wenmei to sit, and at the same time instructed Hu Ying, "Send someone to tell the seventh sister, the eighth sister has arrived, let her hurry up." ”

"Eighth sister eats first. The Tang family must be very busy, let's go back when we are full, we can't save the time when we are hungry, and make a mess for them, besides, we are going to beat our son-in-law, where will we have the strength if we don't eat enough? Li Xia's tone was brisk.

Li Wenmei took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, mumbled, and sat down to eat.

Li Xia watched her eat two bamboo shoots and buns, drank a bowl of shredded chicken porridge, and ate half a plate of glutinous rice lotus. One of the eyebrows that looked straight at it was raised, and it took a while to fall, her eighth sister, this pride is rare.

Li Wennan has always gotten up early and came over with the little girl, and a few big girls and little girls behind her, holding four or five big burdens.

Li Xia and Li Wennan surrounded Li Wenmei, wearing one on the left and one on the right, Li Wennan's eldest girl Cui Ming and the girls in Li Xia's house, Hu Ying, Banana Leaf and others were gossiping and making ideas, Li Wenmei raised her arms, put on a set of clothes, and kept laughing.

After picking out the clothes, Hu Ying scattered Li Wenmei's hair, just after it was transparent, the little girl outside came in to spread the word, and the grandmother in the second wife's house came to ask if the eighth lady was there, saying that the eighth lady was missing and was looking for it everywhere.

Li Wenmei's face turned white suddenly, but she sat upright and didn't move, only looked at Li Xia, Li Xia smiled at her, "Banana Leaf took a trip and told the second wife that I invited the eighth sister to go to Changsha Palace" to watch the excitement. ”

Banana Leaf said crisply, and went out to talk back with her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Guo's second wife swept into Mrs. Yan's courtyard with a gust of wind, pushed away the little girl who took a step forward and wanted to open the curtain, and rushed in, "Sister-in-law, this family is against the sky, sister-in-law should not be able to see it?" ”

Mrs. Yan, who was sipping a cup of tea, slapped the cup in her hand on the kang table with a bang, "Look at you like this!" The more I live, the more I go back! Did you go out of the water or did you destroy your home? ”

Mrs. Guo's resentment suddenly dropped by half, "It's me who is in a hurry, but this is a big deal!" Sister-in-law, Ba Nizi, this unfilial daughter......" Mrs. Guo Er gritted her teeth, "She lied to me a lot, Yang Feng Yin disobeyed, this unfilial girl, we Yongning Bofu, have never been so unfilial!" ”

Mrs. Yan squinted at her coldly, "Why are you unfilial, you can tell me." ”

Early in the morning, she said that she was going to pick flowers and vase me, I still thought, this is really the sun hitting the west out, she actually has this filial piety, she has filial piety, I can't stop it, so I let her out, who knows, she actually ran to the courtyard of the ninth sister, pestering the ninth sister to take her to Changsha Palace, this slut, what is she doing in Changsha Palace? The palace is full of nobles, what kind of idea did she have......"

Mrs. Yan slapped on the kang table, "Second wife, no matter what, you are also her mother-in-law, how can you say this?" You don't have a face, this Bofu still has a face! If you say this kind of shameless words in the future, don't blame me for asking the family law to slap your mouth! ”

"Okay, sister-in-law's heart is biased, I know, I don't say it, this matter is there, I don't say it...... I won't say it, please say something to my sister-in-law, this uncle's house, do you still want this filial piety? Mrs. Guo's angry chest fell together.

"The eighth sister is not filial, I know, there is a big event today, I am going out at this time, and when I come back, I will definitely take care of the eighth sister's unfilial piety for you." Mrs. Yan didn't look at Mrs. Guo anymore, stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling mirror, looked back and forth, and went out unhurriedly.

"I have to call the eighth sister back first! Can't let her go out and be embarrassed! When Mrs. Guo saw Mrs. Yan leave, she was anxious, and she rushed out and followed Mrs. Yan in a hurry.

Mrs. Yan ignored her and walked forward without looking back.

Second Mrs. Guo followed all the way to the second gate, and at a glance saw Li Wenmei, who was dressed exactly the same as Li Xia and Li Wennan, and stood side by side to greet Mrs. Yan, and was about to rush up, but was stopped by several mothers-in-law, "The second wife can't go, the lady and the third wife were invited by the Tang family, the second wife should go back." ”

Li Wenmei lowered her eyes, didn't look at Mrs. Guo, only followed Li Wennan closely, and got into the car with a little panic and eagerness.

Li Xia looked at Mrs. Guo with a smile, raised her hand and waved at her, and also got into the car.

Mrs. Xu's two eyebrows were raised high, look at this, look at that, and look at it, stunned.

"Madam, get in the car." The big girl Lilac had to remind her loudly.

"I'm in a car with my sister-in-law." Mrs. Xu walked to Mrs. Yan's car in two steps, her mother-in-law just picked up the springboard, and quickly put it down again, Mrs. Yan reached out and lifted the curtain, laughing, and signaled Mrs. Xu to get into the car.

"This Asha...... This must have been Axia's idea, what did she want to do? Mrs. Xu got into the car, and before she could sit down, she asked anxiously.

"Axia, this girl, is righteous, the second daughter-in-law is tossing the eighth sister to death like this, she can't stand it." Mrs. Yan motioned for Manqing to pour a cup of tea and handed it to Mrs. Xu, her voice smiling with a smile.

"Eighth sister is pitiful, I have thought about it, but it is her mother-in-law, a filial piety is detained, I have also helped, helped once, she suffered once, alas." Mrs. Xu thought about the eighth sister, full of sourness and unbearable.

"Ah Xia said, there is a family business, and it is suitable anywhere with the eighth sister, saying yes, I want to see the temper of the eighth sister, this trip, the family is also going to the palace, just right, quietly look at each other, in the afternoon, the Tang family is busy, you come back first, I will follow to the palace, Ah Xia sent me an envoy, let me take a good look at the old lady of the family." Mrs. Yan explained.

"This Nizi, how old is she? Forget it, Ah Xia, this girl, I can't take care of it when I'm five or six years old, but fortunately I have a sister-in-law, otherwise...... Sister-in-law should take a good look at it clearly, the eighth sister is pitiful, this marriage, you can't marry the wrong one again, when the time comes, I will add a few dowries to her, I see that the eighth sister is a good child. ”

Mrs. Xu's heart was put down, not because she knew what was going on, but because her sister-in-law knew about it, and since her sister-in-law knew, it would be fine.
