Seeing Li Dong looking at the two strings of red gold flowers and fruits, his brows furrowed slightly, and Manqing hurriedly smiled: "Hui Liuniangzi, this is prepared by Madame, I brought it over last night, and it was all in that box, I picked a string for Jiu Niangzi to use first." ”

"Sister, and new clothes." Li Xia pointed to two thick stacks of new clothes next to him, one stack was hers and the other was Li Dong's.

Li Dong was a little hesitant, so many clothes and jewelry, too expensive, how could he collect other people's things indiscriminately, and there were so many, it didn't seem to be good......

"In November, Mrs. made clothes for the fourth lady and the seventh lady, and when she saw the material, she felt that the ninth lady must look good in it, so she hurried to let people do it." Manqing looked at Li Dong's expression, and explained with a smile: "These two pieces were picked by the Seventh Lady for the Ninth Lady and the Fifth Lady, and these two pieces were picked by the Fourth Lady for the Ninth Lady." Yesterday, when the Seventh Lady was resting, she also instructed Sister Begonia that she must wear the two pieces she picked for the Nine Lady today. ”

"I love this one." Li Xia pointed to the two pieces picked out by the Seventh Lady, the set of begonia red dresses, she remembered very clearly, this begonia red was the favorite color of the seventh girl Li Wennan, and she picked her favorite color to her.

Although Li Dong still felt that it was very inappropriate to accept so many expensive clothes and jewelry, even if she accepted it, she should not go on immediately, but first, she has a soft temperament, and secondly, this is her uncle's family after all, and she is not very sure whether her feelings that she should not accept are right, because before, many of those teachings came from Mrs. Zhong, and now what Mrs. Zhong said seems to be wrong...... She was at a loss for a moment.

Li Xia changed into the begonia red skirt and a small jacket of the same color, which was particularly pink and jade.

Li Dong hesitated in his heart, so he didn't wear the new clothes prepared by Mrs. Yan, and asked Su Ye to take out the two new clothes he brought from home, the one that had not yet been put on and put it on.

The two went out to the upper room, Mrs. Xu had already cleaned up, Li Wenlan slept for a while, just came out of the clean room, yawning, sitting upright and combing her hair by Begonia.

Mrs. Xu told Su Ye to go and see if Li Wenshan had gotten up in the front yard. As soon as the words fell, Manqing smiled and said: "Back to the third wife, the fifth master got up half an hour ago, and together with the fourth master, said that he was running a horse, and the lady just sent someone over to pass the word, saying that the third lady can rest assured, the lady has already picked a proper long entourage to follow." ”

Mrs. Xu looked at Li Dong and smiled angrily, "Look at your brother, this horse didn't ride enough yesterday, and I went to run the horse again early this morning." ”

"I've heard the fifth brother say once that riding a horse is not a horse, but a horse is riding." Li Dong explained for the fifth brother.

Mrs. Xu smiled while watching Li Wenlan pack up, took him, and took Li Dong and Li Xia out, and Mrs. Yan's mother-in-law, who invited Mrs. Xu and others to the flower hall for breakfast, was already waiting at the door.

Mrs. Yan took Li Wenlan by the hand, and Li Dong led Li Xia to the flower hall together.

Seeing Mrs. Xu and others coming from afar, the fourth lady Li Wenfang and the seventh lady Li Wennan hurriedly walked out of the flower hall to welcome them all the way.

The Seventh Lady ran in front with her skirt, looking at Li Xia's begonia red, she suddenly smiled happily, "I knew that the ninth sister must look good in this begonia red, and I knew that the ninth sister must like this begonia red!" Say hello to the third aunt, hello to the sixth sister! Ninth sister, come, I'll take you. ”

Qi Niangzi and Mrs. Xu greeted Li Dong, and reached out to pull Li Xia.

Li Dong let go of his hand, the Seventh Lady pulled Li Xia, tilted her head to look at her and smiled, and Li Xia also looked up at her and smiled.

This trip to Jiangning Mansion, for Li Xia, the most important thing is to learn from the Seventh Lady and how to be a six or seven-year-old lady.

The fourth lady, Li Wenfang, gave Mrs. Xu and Li Dong a salute in a proper manner, looked at the holding hand, and while walking, she glanced at each other, and glanced at Li Wennan and Li Xia who were smiling, and glanced at them with disgust, "Look at you two, you are stupid." ”

Li Wennan ignored her at all, and just pulled Li Xia forward, "Axia, let's go quickly." A-Niang said, after eating, take us to Qixia Temple to play, and eat vegetarian food in Qixia Temple at noon, then we will eat more meat for breakfast! ”

"Good!" Li Xia happily agreed, and followed Li Wennan to the flower hall.

"And me!" Li Wenlan shook off Mrs. Xu and ran forward behind Li Wennan and Li Xia, "I also eat more meat, just meat!" ”

Mrs. Yan had already come out, turned sideways to let Li Wennan and Li Xia go, and smiled at Mrs. Xu: "Look at it, I'm a little one, three years older than Ah Xia, you see, it's not good to be Tao, I don't think I'm as sensible as Ah Xia." ”

Mrs. Xu was laughing, running and jumping by Li Wennan and Li Xia, and her mood was a lot easier, and when she heard Mrs. Yan say this, she laughed, "It's still young, it's good to wait until it's older." ”

Mrs. Xu said, looking at Li Dong who was following her with great satisfaction.

"That's what I have to think." Mrs. Yan also looked at Li Dong, said and smiled, and entered the flower hall with Mrs. Xu.

Soon ate breakfast and served tea, Mrs. Yan said with a smile: "Let's go to Qixia Temple for a while, and eat a vegetarian meal at Qixia Temple at noon, if we come back early in the afternoon, let's go to Confucius Temple to take a turn, what do you think?" ”

Mrs. Xu nodded hurriedly, "It's all up to my sister-in-law's arrangement." ”

"Then that's it for today, tomorrow we will go to Tang's house to say goodbye to the third old lady." Seeing Mrs. Xu's dazed expression, Mrs. Yan obviously didn't understand the meaning of this arrangement, and explained quietly: "You also know that the Tang family has produced two or three emperors, and they are the few scholars in Jiangnan, and they can be compared with the ancient family.

In the past, when the third old lady was alive, the eldest master was taught under the third old lady, and the third old man ordered the master to raise people, which is the son of the third old lady, and now Tang Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

The third old lady is seventy and eight this year, and she has been cultivating all the year round, and she doesn't see outsiders much.

Tang Shangshu couldn't leave by himself, so he sent his son and daughter-in-law over every year to accompany the old lady for the New Year. This year, it was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Tang family, Grandma Gu, who came with her children, I heard that you were coming, and Grandma Gu originally said that she was going to come to visit, so how can we let her come to the door? It's better for us to go over the trip, if we can see the three old ladies and say goodbye, it would be even better. ”

Mrs. Xu now fully understands that this Tang family is the Tang family, which was once known as the first family in Jinling, and the master Tang Shangshu, who admires him very much, is often mentioned by the master, and hurriedly agreed, "Thank you sister-in-law, sister-in-law has bothered." ”

No matter how smart Mrs. Xu is, she also knows that Mrs. Yan took her and the children over to ask for this visit, all for their good.
