Chapter 80: Sisters
Xia Li said there: "Does my father really want to continue the strings, if you want, my daughter will ask you to see if that young lady can be suitable to be my stepmother?" Although she spends more time with you, she also spends a lot of time with her daughter, so it's always good to get to know the situation......"
"Shut up, when did I say that I was going to continue the strings, and then how children take care of adults' affairs, you can take care of yourself in the future, and you don't have to worry about my affairs."
Xia Zhi'an was in a hurry, how could he let his daughter be in charge of this kind of thing, and how could he let his daughter say it in public, his face was restless.
Xia Li felt that it was nothing, men and women married, everyone should be optimistic about it, and it would be easier to get along in the future, besides, it would be impossible for her father to be taken care of at such an old age, and she was afraid that her father would be sad because of the light clothes, so she wanted her father to marry a certain woman so that she could forget about it.
So she didn't take Xia Zhi'an's anxious eyes seriously at all, and continued there:
"Father, your daughter, don't worry about you, who will worry about you, otherwise, I'll check first, see that the age of the woman in the city is the same as yours, don't let her be the main house, just give a side room to wait"
Xia Zhi'an roared, "You don't have to worry about my affairs, do you hear it?"
Xia Li didn't care about the "stay for a while, I'll show my father the list of school-age ladies in the city"
Xia Zhi'an was so angry that he had a headache, no matter what he said his daughter should do or what to do, he endured the anger in his heart and said:
"Hurry up and stop worrying about your father, okay? The Father called you to tell you that you are not allowed to take care of the affairs of adults, especially the affairs of the house."
"Yes, I see," Xia Li agreed happily
Xia Zhi'an sighed and said, "Aren't you allowed to go against your eldest aunt during this time?" ”
"Yes, I know" Xia Li saw that his father was bitter, so he had to agree first.
"Alright, let's go back! I'll talk about my father's affairs later, as long as you and your brother are safe, whatever happens to your father."
Xia Li saw that his father said touchingly, and said very obediently, "Yes, father, my daughter will not delay her father's court, and say goodbye"
She saw that things were almost over, and took her leave.
Xia Zhi'an looked at his daughter's back and kept shaking his head, secretly saying that this child is becoming more and more bold and dares to do anything, but how can it be good, he has to tell Xia Ye a few words later, so that he can be optimistic about his sister.
He thought about it in the house for a while, and because of Xia Li's matter, he forgot about the fact that the light clothes had become the eldest brother's partial room, so he came out of the house and asked Xiao Tianzi to take the carriage to the palace.
……
In the afternoon of that day, Xia Li heard from Chu Han that the two nieces of the eldest lady's family were coming, and asked her to go and get to know the two.
Xia Liben was not interested in the mother's family of the eldest lady Li Honglian's family, but it was not good for people to invite her to refuse simply, but she was still a little aggrieved to force herself to go, and then she remembered that she still had to help the man in black find a secret order, and it was just right to go to Li Honglian, so she happily led Chu Han away.
She really hadn't been to Li Honglian's yard during the day before, and she could count the number of times the original owner had gone.
When she went today, she would have to see the inside clearly.
The master and servant entered the courtyard of the big house, Xia Li compared the night with this time, the rockery trees are the same, and there will indeed be nothing in this big yard.
After passing through the verandah, I arrived at the gate of the Red Lotus Courtyard of the eldest lady.
Most of the guards would be here at night, and today she only heard the two of them in the courtyard.
Xia Li looked at it as he walked, trying to write down the special things in the yard.
When the night comes, it's faster to run away or find a roof.
The roof was there, she didn't have the slightest clue, she hadn't thought much of it for a while, and she would have liked to find it if she had the chance.
Thinking of this, Xia Li walked a few steps into the Red Lotus Courtyard.
She has also had a few photos of the maids and mothers-in-law in it, the most common is Li Honglian's mother-in-law Erniang, and her big maid is called Huaping.
When Erniang saw her enter the courtyard, although she didn't like it, she still smiled on her face: "Miss Li, the eldest lady has already arrived, they are all waiting for you, go in quickly!" ”
Xia Li won't pretend, "um" counts as a response.
If she hadn't found a secret order, she wouldn't have come here!
Li Honglian's small yard is much more elaborate than the big yard outside.
There are fiery red flowers and trees planted on both sides of the room, and it is September at this time, and the flowers are in full bloom, and the clusters look very beautiful and dazzling.
Xia Li took small square steps and looked carefully, and she found that the underside of the flower trees was all black soil, which looked unusually soft.
The small courtyard can't be the hidden place of the roof, the top layer above any secret passage is hard and hard soil, otherwise dig an immortal hole below, this is still the chief of the Dark Moon Palace, Pulsatilla, this person also said that the construction of the palace he had secretly seen, there is a slender secret passage inside, leading to the outside of the palace, but he can't remember the specifics.
Xia Li walked into the house with a small square step while thinking about it, and the picture screen had already opened the curtain inside and waited for this young lady to enter the house, but his hands were sore, and he saw this person come in unhurriedly.
If it weren't for the eldest lady's explanation, she would definitely have to befriend this young lady, and she would not have greeted her so warmly.
In the past, this young lady would affectionately call Sister Huaping when she saw her, but now it's good, my sister doesn't say the two words, she can't even hear the title, and she doesn't say thank you when she opens the curtain, it's really getting more and more unruly.
Xia Li didn't know that the eldest girl didn't like it in her heart, she wanted to know that it might not be as simple as letting this person open the curtain, I was afraid that it was possible to let her help take off the shoes on her feet, she used to see that this person was used to being touted because of the errand around the eldest lady, and she forgot that she was just a subordinate.
She really wants to fight Dafang to the end, so she is not afraid of anything.
Seeing Xia Li indifferently entering the house and not saying anything, she worked so hard that she didn't even look at it, her heart became more and more uneven, and she didn't ask her to sit down, so she smiled and reported to the eldest lady: "Madame is leaving Miss Li"
Xia Li did it on purpose, it was Li Honglian who invited her over, why did she have to be as low as the original owner to please others, and it was useless to please her, she could only provoke the boredom in the hearts of others.
When I entered the house, I found that the young ladies in the big room were all there, Xia Yue, Xia Yue, and Xia Ling were all lined up, talking to the two strange young ladies.
And Qingyi and the aunt of the big house, Poria, also came and sat aside.
Today's light clothes are dressed more plainly, wearing a gray long shirt, but it is very flattering to her kind of elegant temperament, which is much more pleasing to the eye than Li Honglian and Poria next to her, she knows that Qingyi is a smart one, and knows that she should be low-key when she first comes to the big house.
This morning, she heard that this person was promoted to an aunt by the eldest lady Li Honglian and also moved into a big house, which seems to be true.
Xia Li entered the room and glanced at the light clothes and nodded, at this time to say congratulations will it make the eldest lady angry, think about it or forget it, she still wants to stay here for a long time to take a good look at the layout of the house!
Qingyi also chuckled when she saw her, and said, "Miss Li."
Li Honglian saw her enter the room with a smile on her face, and said gently:
"Li'er is here, get to know your two sisters, these are my two nieces of my mother's family, Xingchen and Yinong, Xingchen is the sister, and Yinong is the younger sister."
Xia Li looked at the two of them and nodded, she wouldn't smile, let alone greet each other with a smile.
Both sisters have round faces and big eyes, but the elder sister Xingchen looks a little more than the younger sister.
The two sisters smiled and came over to take her hand.
Xia Li frowned and pulled his hand back in front of him and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not used to being so close to people."
This sentence made the faces of everyone present change smoothly, and the two sisters were also extremely embarrassed.
In the end, it was Xingchen who said: "It's okay to leave my sister, you may not know us very well, so some strangeness is inevitable, but it will be good if we get familiar with it after a while."
Yinong also said there: "Yes, sister Li'er, usually our sisters are not interesting at home, we can play together in the future"
Xia Li nodded indifferently, she felt that the drunkards of these two people did not mean to drink, how could they think of playing with her, she was the most unpopular in the big room.
Li Honglian saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff and said: "You like to be quiet from your sister the most, you sisters like to be lively, in the future, you two will take you away from your sister well, girls of this age should be crazy and make trouble."
Xingchen said there: "Yes, my niece likes the quiet nature of Li'er and sister"
Xia Yue, Xia Yu and Xia Ling all looked at each other, and finally Xia Ling said: "I guess Li'er likes to hurry up the most, and he will definitely get along with Xingchen and Yinong." ”
Xia Yue didn't say anything to echo, but Xia Yu said there: "Yes, I hope so"
Li Honglian frowned when she heard what her second daughter said was unreliable.
glanced at Xia Li, who didn't speak much, and said, "Li'er, it's usually boring for the eldest aunt to see you alone in the house, so I specially asked these two sisters to come over to accompany you."
Xia Yu answered there: "Yes, you don't have to worry about finding trouble all day long."
The second lady told the truth again, but Li Honglian shouted there, "Yu'er, shut up, today is a happy day for everyone, what are you doing mentioning it when the previous things are over?" ”
"Yes, listen to my mother" Xia Yu glanced at Xia Li a few times.
Xia Li didn't speak, and no one in the room said anything more except for the conversation between the two sisters and Li Honglian.
Xia Yu was reprimanded for speaking just now, but now he is silent, I don't know if the two sisters are unlikable or they are not interested in the people in the house.
Xia Li looked at Li Honglian's house from time to time.
As soon as you enter the room, there is a large living room, which is elegantly furnished, with a row of pear wood tables and chairs in the middle, and pear wood cabinets with various utensils on both sides.
In each compartment of the cabinet, there are bottles and cans of different sizes, different colors, looking a little old, it seems that they are antiques collected by the eldest lady.
These things are most likely the hidden weapons in the house, but I don't know if the gate to the roof ridge will be here.
Xia Lizheng thought about it, so she heard Li Honglian call her.
"What's wrong? Great Aunt"
"Li'er, the eldest aunt Pingjin sees that you are too lonely, and there is no one to accompany you, can I let Xingchen and Yinong accompany you to live for a few days?"
Xia Li didn't expect this eldest aunt to say this, could it be that the two sisters were allowed to monitor him, it was possible to think about it.
She said indifferently: "No need for my aunt, I'm used to living alone, and sometimes my brother will come to see me, and it's inconvenient when there are too many people."
Li Honglian's face darkened, she really couldn't fix this dead girl now.
Xingchen and Yinong looked at Xia Li and said: "Is my sister disgusted with the two of us, you don't know, when we were at home, we often heard my aunt talk about Li'er sister, and now I think my sister is very cute, and we all want to get along with you."
As soon as Xia Li heard that these two people were lies, Li Honglian would talk to her, but others were embarrassed to say that she was embarrassed to listen, saying that this eldest lady hated her to the bone, and said with a secret smile in her heart:
"I also want to get along with you, but I can't live there, it's inconvenient, I see that it's more convenient for you to live in the eldest aunt's place, I'll come to play with you if it's okay."
She said this because she had come to the Red Lotus Temple a few more times.
The two sisters said helplessly: "We really don't want to be separated from Li'er!" ”
Xia Li said there: "It's not far, what is not separate?"
The two saw that Xia Li disagreed, and went to see Li Honglian one after another.
Li Honglian couldn't help it when she saw that Xia Li didn't agree, this stinky girl was not as obedient as before.
She had no choice but to say there: "In this case, it is the same for your sisters to go and play with Li'er if they are fine."
"Yes, auntie," the two said in unison.
