Du Rui didn't answer her directly, but said: "I have been chained to my grandmother at home for the past two months, saying that I won't be allowed to come out before I get engaged." I couldn't help but slip out. ”

Speaking of engagement, Liuli's face was hot again, and she pretended to be calm and said, "Why do you want to get engaged?" Whose girl? ”

Du Rui smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I also know that it is the ninth girl of the Hubu Shangshu He Mansion." When she turns thirteen in the spring of next year, her father will come to the door to propose. ”

Ruri blushed to the base of her neck, and finally she couldn't pretend anymore.

In fact, she didn't have any very ardent yearning for marriage, what she wanted was not the kind of unrealistic marriage that Huanhua hoped for, she only envied the mandarin ducks and not the immortals, what she wanted was enough respect, high enough status, and enough power to protect her own interests. From this point of view, she is no different from all the women in the house, and there is nothing to deny, she just wants to live with dignity and be respected by the people around her, and now it seems that Du Rui can give her this, so she has nothing to be pretentious.

got Du Rui's personal admission, Liuli's heart has also settled down, although she doesn't hate to marry, but in the end, her situation is special, and she can book early and feel at ease. In this way, even if there is a bottom between the two, Liuli is no longer troubled in this matter, but the relationship between Huaining Hou and Liuli is getting closer and closer, and the old lady and He Lili have also been invited to participate in the birthday banquet of Huaining Marquis, so Yuhua's hatred for Liuli seems to have reached a peak.

But He Lili's attitude towards Liuli has changed surprisingly because of the eldest princess's four-car reward, because of this, he is actually more enthusiastic about Aunt Su, and he has been here for more days, and he also gives some small favors to Liuli from time to time. But the more he did. Aunt Sue

The colder his heart is to him, and the same is true for Liuli, the more obvious he behaves, the more the feelings in his heart for him, his biological father, can fade out.

Of course, on the bright side, they are still welcomed, after all, no one will have the heart to get along with themselves.

On this day, I heard that He Lili came back for dinner, so Aunt Su asked the big kitchen to add a few dishes. I warmed the jug of wine again. Glass can not be mixed with them. In the room, I asked Rui'er to burn a warm kang and tilted her head to read a book.

It's the end of October, and Yuhua will get married in two or three months at most, Liuli was stunned for a while at the scroll. Summoning Rui'er.

"What's going on in the Buddha Hall these days?"

Rui'er thought for a while and said, "The Yu family is sick now, and there is no big trouble, it's nothing more than cursing the eldest master in the courtyard all day long." But there was something I thought was suspicious, and I was about to tell the girl. ”

"What's the matter?" Ruri sat up a little.

"Today, Mrs. Hu said that about three or five days ago, when Qiluo beside the fourth lady sent supplies to the Buddha Hall, she once went to find the Yu family."

"Kira?" Liuli simply sat up, Qiluo was Nie's henchman. Even the Nie clan is now in charge of general affairs. It's not the turn of Labor Qiluo to deliver supplies, what does Nie want to do? "Did you hear what they said?"

Rui'er said: "Mrs. Hu said that Qiluo only gave the supply to the Yu family, and explained that she asked the Yu family to check carefully to see if there were any errors or omissions. And he came out. ”

Liuli thought about it, snorted and put the book down, and said, "There must be some kind of letter in that supply!" Tomorrow, you find a reason to search, be careful, don't fall into the eyes of others, and try not to alarm them. ”

Liuli sent Rui'er to search, and she made a fuss. The Nie family is not as easy to handle as it seems, and now it seems to be submissive to Liuli, but in his heart he doesn't think so, compared with her foundationless nine girls, the Yu family, the eldest lady who is almost down, still has some residual power in the hearts of many people, not to mention that the Nie family has been suppressed by her for so many years, and she is always a little frightened, and at this time she suddenly provoked the Yu family, although she still doesn't understand the truth, but it is not too unexpected.

The next day, Rui'er went to the Buddhist hall, and when she came back, she said, "I haven't found any letters, but I found this in the ashes of the charcoal furnace." ”

It's a small ledger, half burned. Rui'er has now learned a few words from Liuli, such as a few numbers. The Yu family is now living half-dead in the Buddha Hall, what other accounts do they need to keep? Liuli opened it to see, Rao was mentally prepared and couldn't help but be taken aback, this was densely remembered that there were a lot of income and expenditure, and each amount of silver was at least a thousand taels!

This will definitely not be the account book that the Yu family originally kept by his side, otherwise, it would have been found out when the Qi family ordered someone to search last time. Most of this was brought in later, so was it Yuhua who brought it to her, or Qiluo who brought it to her?

Ruri leans towards Kira, because if Yuhua gave it to her, she doesn't need to burn it. If it is Kira, then what kind of account will this ledger have?

She opened the half-burned notebook again, and the list of items happened to be burned, leaving only the date and payment at the gutter.

Liuli thought about it, took the book to the fourth room, and said to the Nie family: "The fifth brother will get married soon, my mother asked me to come over and ask for a banquet list, and when the three girls get married in the future, we can do the same." ”

Sifang married the sister of King Ning's side concubine, and Tingbang has recently won a new show, so he has to be presentable. Nie was sorting out the wedding card, and when he heard this, he happily got up and took out a banquet menu from a drawer on the side and handed it to her. "It's the chef of the West Lake Building, the name of the West Lake Building is louder than the name of the Drunken Immortal Building!"

Shuhua invited the chef of the drunken fairy building when she got married, and Liuli never looked down on Nie's little family spirit and love to compare everywhere, so she didn't say anything at the moment, took the menu and looked at it, and said: "Please also ask the fourth aunt to make a note on this, write down what is important, and then we can do it." ”

The wedding banquet is different, and the order of serving and the materials are very particular. Of course, these chefs will tell the owner, but because Nie invited a chef who is even more famous than the name of Zuixianlou, he happily took up the pen and annotated her.

Liuli took the list she had written and looked at it, quietly handed it to Yuegui to put it away, picked up the grapefruit tea and said, "Has the fourth aunt been to the Buddha Hall recently?" ”

Nie's subordinates suddenly dropped two happy posts, "No, no, what am I going to do there?" ”

Liuli's eyes stared at the wedding card on the ground, and hissed: "Marrying a young grandmother in the house is a big deal, the fourth aunt doesn't go to the Buddhist hall to ask the eldest lady, how do you know who to invite the eldest lady's mother's family?" Even if you know, I'm afraid the name is not clear, right? ”

Nie Shi came back to his senses and said with a smile: "This is also true. When I turned around, I sent someone to the Buddha hall to ask! ”

Ruri raised her lips and picked up the grapefruit meat in the bowl with a spoon.

Back in the room, Liuli threw the feast sheet and the small account book onto the bookcase.

The handwriting on the list is exactly the same as the handwriting on the account book, and Nie is still playing tricks under her nose!

Rui'er said angrily: "Shall we give the fourth lady a little more hardship?" ”

"Don't startle the snakes first, let's see what they do!" Liuli locked the tent into the small copper box and pushed the list to her: "Send this to my aunt, don't say anything else." ”

Last night, He Li spent the night in Aunt Su's room, and today is the tenth day of the new year, and she has not returned to the room yet, so Aunt Chen took Hui'er to the room by visiting the door, and the vinegar smell in that room is enough to make people faint, and the glass will naturally not disappear at this moment.

He Tingbang and Luo Mingzhu's wedding auspicious day is set on the thirteenth day of the winter month, the winter rain of several days will drench the whole capital cold and bleak, but this day is very auspicious, many people will be married on this day, so the city is full of festive sedan chairs and lanterns to add a bit of heat to the city.

Today, several girls married in the house will also go back to the house for a banquet, Huanhua couldn't hold back her joy, and ran to the glass room early in the morning and told her: "I heard that the second sister and the fourth sister are happy, this is really good news!" ”

Min Hua is just that, she has been married for two or three years, and she should have been pregnant a long time ago. It's just that Shuhua has only been pregnant for more than two months, which is really blessed.

Liuli was also happy for them, and handed her the stove while spreading out her hand for Rui'er to dress her. Since she came back from a trip to Jinquan Temple with Concubine Qi, the first thing Rui'er did was to make a few gorgeous clothes for her, and the smoky embroidered makeup jacket and skirt on her body today was one of them. After all, today is the newcomer entering the door, in the end there are many more guests than the married girl, the girls in the house have to accompany the guests as the host, Liuli has been praised by the eldest princess, and now she is also a slightly famous figure in the circle of ladies in Beijing, how can you not dress up well.

Huanhua picked out jewelry for her on the side, and suddenly took a golden hairpin to her: "You haven't even reached it yet, why is there this in the jewelry box?" ”

But where the complicated hairpin ring is not coiled is not inserted steadily, the glass is not up to the curtain, naturally can only comb some small buns such as double rings and double hangings or single mustaches, this hairpin falls in the jewelry box is really eye-catching.

Liuli only glanced at it, and immediately snatched it up and put it in his sleeve.

The reason why this hairpin is so abrupt is because it is not hers at all, but Yuhua's. On that day, in the imperial garden, she plucked her hairpin, and this hairpin was brought back. Because this was specially created by the Yu family for her to enter the palace draft, her name was still engraved on it, so she couldn't find a suitable way to deal with it.

Now that she is discovered by Huanhua, she will be discovered by others sooner or later, she hasn't forgotten that there is a double happiness in her house.

Huanhua glanced at her, and picked up bead flowers for her with great interest.
