"What do you mean?" Mrs. Shen looked at Li Xiaoqi and asked, Li Xiaomi was stunned for a moment, looked at Mrs. Shen and said strangely: "This is the eldest brother's family matter, what can I mean?" The eldest brother can marry whoever he wants, and if he marries the person he wants to marry, he can live a good life, right? Mrs. Shen was also stunned, paused, and looked at Li Xiaoqi for a long time before she spoke: "You don't care who your eldest brother marries?" ”

"Well, it's not my business, Mrs. Fan is the eldest brother's own fancy, how could I do this kind of thing to beat mandarin ducks? Not to mention the eldest brother, Erhuai and Sister Zhang, are also the eyes of the two of them, that is, the family affairs of the water, although I have a line from it, that is also the seventh lady who took a fancy to the aquatic brother, and the aquatic brother also took a fancy to the seventh lady, I just broke the layer of window paper for them, and helped move the horizontal stone in the middle, and the noble son in the future is also, he likes others, people also fancy him, he marries whoever he wants, grandma you think, the life is their own life, the two love each other, and they can live well in the future. Li Xiaoqi looked at Mrs. Shen and explained carefully.

Mrs. Shen stayed for a long time, and laughed before she could speak: "That's what I said, and it's all my brothers' business, I'm confused!" I'll go back and persuade her. ”

"Well, the eldest brother will come back in two days, I will also mention it to the eldest brother, to see if the eldest brother can come over to see her, I sent her here, just to let her sharpen her mind, learn Buddhism in the nunnery, even if you can't learn it thoroughly, you can also learn to obey the heavens, know the norm, there is a fear in my heart, and I don't ask her to grow her eyes in the future, just ask her not to look at the master and break into a big disaster." Li Xiaoqi patiently explained to Mrs. Shen, and Mrs. Shen smiled: "If this is the case, then at least she is scared at this time, she is a girl who has no heart and no courage, I think this fright, at least twenty years•••••• and then turn a corner to go to the Han Cicada Nunnery, she lives in the middle of the second row of courtyards." ”

"Grandma, I don't want her to see me, is there any place where I can see her and not let her see me?" Li Xiaoqi paused and asked, Shen Pozi nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, let's go to the corner tower, from where you can see the entire nunnery, at this hour, Mrs. Fan should be in the courtyard." ”

"That's best, also, I'll come over here, don't let Mrs. Fan know." Li Xiaoqi confessed again, Shen Pozi smiled, the two gossiped, entered from the corner gate of the Han Cicada Nunnery, turned a corner and went up to the corner tower, Li Xiaoqi carefully hid behind the column, looking at the Fan lady who was holding a wooden hammer with both hands, lifting and falling down, and spine the rice.

Looking in this direction, Mrs. Fan showed her side, dressed in a coarse linen and wool-edged filial piety suit, thin as paper, her hair was slightly unkempt, her face could not be seen clearly with her head down, and she was holding a wooden hammer in her hand.

Li Xiaoqi looked at it for a while, sighed softly, turned his head to look at Mrs. Shen and said in a low voice, "Let's go." A few people walked out of the nunnery with brisk steps, and went down the mountain, Shen Pozi looked at the silent and speechless Li Xiaoqi, thought about it and smiled and persuaded: "Don't worry too much, there is no harm in suffering, just like you said, the days of hard work in this nunnery should be engraved in her heart, it is best to remember it clearly for the rest of her life, good medicine is good for disease, and the base can be bitter for a lifetime, at least it will not cause a big disaster in the future, this small half a year, I come to talk to her every day, she is not bad, but she is a little confused and can't tell the good from the bad, and there is a little bit of stupidity, Alas, aren't all people like that? It's not that you're confused here, or you're muddy there, as long as you're timid and know how to be afraid, it's no big deal, like you, it's called an anomaly, it's not an ordinary person••••••"

"Well, that's what Mama said." Li Xiaoqi listened carefully to Mrs. Shen's nagging, and agreed with one or two sentences from time to time, Li Xiaoqi held Mrs. Shen all the way, spoke in a low voice, and when she returned to the courtyard under the mountain, the sun was already slanting in the west, Li Xiaoqi didn't dare to delay more, reluctantly resigned from Mrs. Shen, walked down the mountain for a quarter of an hour, and got in the car to go back.

The car rushed all the way, and finally moved forward to the city after the city gate was closed, and returned to Willow Hutong, Mama Zhang hurriedly reported that Su Zicheng came over early in the morning and the instructions when he left, Li Xiaoqi slowly drank tea, thought about it and instructed: "Since he confessed, it is naturally not good for you not to listen to the instructions, well, carefully pick a proper person, and then carefully explain well, the prince loves cleanliness, let her bathe and wash, and then change into clean clothes, and send over to report a letter." Mama Zhang naturally understood Li Xiaoyi's instructions, and agreed to come out, while walking out, she couldn't stop thinking about it, and I don't know how many more there are when I am caught in the middle, I don't dare not listen to the words of the second master, that is the second master! But the girl•••••• the girl's words can't help but listen, the girl is her own girl!

Mama Zhang thought about the awkward two and the dazed future, sighed, came out of the flower hall to sit, drank tea, slowly and carefully selected a mother-in-law, first sent the mother-in-law to bathe and wash and change into new clothes, and then came back to explain in detail, until he was busy for most of the hour, before sending people out, when the car went out of the gate, it was already dark at night, almost unable to see the five fingers, Mama Zhang stood outside the flower hall, a little depressed looking up at the sky, why is it cloudy? I can't even see a star in the sky, and on the day of the second master's big day, it must be sunny and sunny.

Since midnight, the rain has been pouring down, the next day dawn is also very late, Li Xiaoqi lazy nest in the warm quilt is reluctant to get up, the Kaiping Mansion in late October has been cold, she is a little lost this year, forgot to order the furnace to open the matter, without her words, it seems that Mama Zhang is going to keep the November 1st furnace festival day to burn the kang, this Mama is good at everything, but the rules are too serious.

Li Xiaoqi rolled on the bed wrapped in the quilt for a while, yawned, and screamed in a vague voice, Wisteria lifted the curtain, looked at Li Xiaoqi and smiled: "The girl is awake?" It's raining outside. ”

"Is it big or not?"

"It's not too big, it's fine, and it looks like it's going to be two days." Wisteria hung up the curtain neatly, and replied with a smile, Li Xiaoqi wrapped the quilt again, shrunk into the quilt, and said lazily: "I forgot to say, let people hurry up the fire, it's too cold, and in the future, our family will have the furnace festival on October 15." Wisteria laughed, but he didn't hesitate for a moment, put down the half-hung curtain, walked to the door of the inner room and called Xirong to turn Li Xiaoyi's instructions, and Xirong hurriedly went out of the house to pass the word.

Wisteria turned back and said with a smile: "Girl, the firewood and charcoal have been prepared a long time ago, I heard from the people in the charcoal house before, the fire kang and the fire wall are also optimistic, and even the charcoal is piled up, and they are all ready-made, but even if the fire rises immediately at this time, if you want to heat up the fire wall and the fire kang, it will be noon, or I will let people move a few charcoal basins in first?" Let's wait for the girl to get up first. Li Xiaoqi barely stretched out an arm, stretched it halfway and retracted it, yawned again, and said: "The charcoal basin is not needed, I am very tired, I didn't sleep well last night, then I will sleep for a while, and then get up when it is hot, no matter who comes, or that, I went out, I don't know where I went." Wisteria looked at Li Xiaoyi, who was retracted into the quilt and yawned and closed his eyes, thought about it, didn't say much, put down the curtain again, and went out lightly.

In the early morning rain, it didn't take long for the old man to shrink his shoulders and push open the city gate, Shui Yan entered the city gate under the support of the small servants and guards, and did not dare to go back to the Jingjiang Marquis Mansion first, but went straight to the Liang Wangfu, he had to hand over the order to Su Zicheng before he could go home.

Su Zicheng just changed out of his rain-soaked clothes and shoes, sat on the cold kang, and drank a cup of hot tea sullenly. It's raining early in the morning, where did she go? Is this avoiding him•••••• the tea in Su Zicheng's mouth is more bitter than a little.

The little guy outside reported it, Shui Yan's clothes were half wet, but he strode in refreshed, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the Lord for accepting Huainan Road, entering the city in the morning, it is raining so much, there are many merchants outside the city who are ready to set off to Huainan Road, look like that, it seems that Huainan Road is full of gold, and it is too late to grab it." Su Zicheng's face was gloomy when Shui Yan said, and he looked at him irritably and said, "After this trip, I haven't grown at all!" Why are you still so noisy! ”

Shui Yan was stunned for a while, and then he noticed that Su Zicheng's face was gloomy as if he could squeeze out the water, and he hurriedly said with a smile: "The lesson of the master is that I will go to reconcile with the fifth master, and come back tomorrow to report to the master." Su Zicheng's lips moved, but he didn't speak, Shui Yan was a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask more, he withdrew, turned to the door of Li Xiaoyi's house in the East Chamber, looked at the brass lock on the door, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and didn't stop, strode out of the weeping flower door, beckoned a small servant and ordered: "Nanning should not be on duty today?" ”

"Back to the second master, it's been here for the past two days." The little servant replied in a low voice, Shui Yan paused in surprise before ordering: "Go and see what Nanning is doing, if you are free, let him come over, I will wait for him in the front ear room." The little guy agreed, carefully slipped into the weeping flower door, Shui Yan exhaled in wonder, turned into the ear house in a few steps and waited for Nanning, after a while, Nanning opened the curtain and came in, and Chang Yi smiled bitterly: "The second master is back, have you seen the girl?" ”

"I'm going to ask you, why is the door of the fifth master's house locked?" Shui Yan said strangely, Nanning sat down, and sighed first before replying: "Coming back from Huainan Road, the girl has never come back to the house, I heard the girl say that the girl and the master have spoken, and they will not come to the house in the future." ”

"Huh?! What's wrong? Shui Yan was almost about to scream, and Nanning hurriedly signaled Shui Yan to silence: "Second master, light!" Now the lord has a big temper•••••• wants to kill people! What happened, we don't know, yesterday the master went to the willow alley to look for the girl, said that the girl had gone out of the city to incense, and I don't know which temple to go to, there is no place to find, the face of the lord, it rained for a day, until almost everyone decided, only came a mother-in-law said back, early this morning, you came in, the master just came back, said that the girl went out again, and I don't know where to go, it is really raining today. Nanning spread his hands and said, Shui Yan opened his eyes wide for a moment, blinked a few times, stood up, arched his hand at Nanning and said, "Thank you, I'll go back first, and come back when Tianyan is ready." ”
