"Don't dare to do that! How can an old woman have this blessing!" Mrs. Shen hurriedly got off the kang to help Mrs. Fan, and Mrs. Wu stepped forward to help Mrs. Shen and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law can afford it!" Affordable! Having an elder like you is a blessing for our eldest lady, a great blessing!"

"What Sister-in-law Wu said is that Grandma can afford it, with elders like you, it is me and my eldest brother, and Sister Fan's great blessing, this is also Sister Fan's heart, Grandma feels that wherever it is good, she will live wherever she goes, and she will be an elder wherever she goes." Li Xiaoqi motioned for Mingwan to help Mrs. Fan up, while looking at Mrs. Shen and said with a smile, Mrs. Shen laughed, and said cheerfully while laughing: "I don't be polite to the girl, the rules in the palace are heavy, and the grandma is used to being casual, so let's live with the big lady to help the foil, as long as the big lady doesn't think the old woman is dragging her long-winded!"

"I can't ask for it." Mrs. Fan finally followed at this time, Mingwan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at her mother, smiled and removed the cup in front of Li Xiaoyi, and made new tea again.

Sister-in-law Wu and others sent Li Xiaoqi out of the gate, and together with Mrs. Fan and Mingwan, insisted on sending Mrs. Shen back to her residence, waiting for her to rest, watching the little girl gently beat her legs, Mrs. Shen closed her eyes as if she was asleep, and then withdrew lightly, Sister-in-law Wu pulled Mrs. Fan out of the yard, found a leeward pavilion and stood, pulled her and whispered: "Big girl, don't blame your sister-in-law for being troubled and talkative, don't be so stubborn in the future, don't talk about the Li family, it's this family, the Zhang family, the Zhuangzi outside the city, and the Wei family, Which place doesn't look at the fifth master? I said you, you were ...... Forget it, let's not mention this, you see, now that she has married into the Liang Palace, a princess and princess, in the future, you will not count her as an ancestor that day, but don't be stupid, you look at Zhang Xingwang's family, if you miss one thing, you will be distributed, and you don't want to come back in this life......"

Mrs. Fan listened to Sister-in-law Wu's chatter with all kinds of flavors in her heart, and Sister-in-law Wu tightened her cloak for her and continued: "Uncle is affectionate and righteous, this is your blessing, but Uncle ...... In the end, it is a man, how much love can there be? Mrs. Fan rushed to her eyes with a sour heart, tears came out of her eyes, and he never went to see her since she was sent to the bitterly cold mountain, not even a piece of paper, not even a sentence...... Granny Shen was still placed here by them, and she had a lot of words...... Sister-in-law Wu hurriedly patted Mrs. Fan and comforted: "It's all over!" Don't cry, this cold weather, look at crying out of illness, look at me who can't speak, don't cry, don't cry, you are also blessed, I don't say much, you just remember, that Mrs. Shen, it was the fifth master who put you around to help you, and also looked at you, you have to respect her mother-in-law as a sister-in-law in your heart, more filial piety than your mother-in-law, and respect, this has to be followed, do you hear? In these days, I can see that Mrs. Shen is a good person, as long as you treat her well in your heart, she will definitely be good to you, speak for you, she speaks more effectively than anyone else, you can go down the mountain smoothly this time, maybe she spoke for you, you respect her well, and after a few years, she is old and useless, and you should also have a group of children, so you will stabilize your steps, the fifth master's step, it is really for your sake, you think about it carefully, you will understand. ”

"Well," Mrs. Fan wiped away her tears, looked at Sister-in-law Wu, bent her knees slightly and thanked her: "Sister-in-law treats me sincerely, I used to be ignorant, sister-in-law don't be like me, sister-in-law's words, I have written them down, from today on, I will treat my mother-in-law as a mother-in-law, sister-in-law rest assured, I can't do anything in the future, sister-in-law will guide me more." ”

"That's good! That's it!" Sister-in-law Wu breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and pushed Mrs. Fan and smiled: "You hurry up and go back to rest, I'll go back too." ”

"I'll send my sister-in-law back." Mrs. Fan helped Sister-in-law Wu and whispered, Sister-in-law Wu saw that her words were sincere, and hesitated, so she didn't refuse, and was sent back to the main courtyard by her to rest.

In the blink of an eye, it was the twenty-second day of the lunar month, and the Li Mansion in Willow Hutong was full of lights, but there were not many people coming and going.

From the middle of the night that day, the willow alley was brightly lit and busy, and the furniture made day and night was carried into the Li Mansion at the last moment, including Sister Zhang, Shuilian and others, Mama Zhang, Mama Lu and others were at the gate, commanding everyone to put the furniture, and the dowry was lifted and placed in the order of first out of the front and then in the back, and the dowry was carried from the shadow wall of the gate, crowded and densely lined up in the back garden.

The sky was slightly white, Li Xiaoqi cleaned up, ate a few bites of breakfast, went out of the courtyard gate, and was startled when he saw the dowry full of places at a glance, how could he come up with so many things after such a month or two of hard work?

Mama Zhang had red silk in her eyes, but she hurriedly stepped forward with great spirit, and said with a smile: "This garden is put in the last soft and inner courtyard ornaments, everyone's furniture, all kinds of large ornaments are the front yard, the girl looks, all the pieces are excellent, speaking of which, thanks to the Yuanfeng Hall, as well as Liangdi, Kaiping Mansion those merchants, as soon as I heard that it was the girl who bought the dowry, they all took out the treasure of the warehouse!" Girl look at this," Mama Zhang happily pointed to the dowry placed outside the pavilion: "This coral, although it is only three feet high, but it is extremely rare red, and the posture is good-looking, I have seen it carefully, it is really born like this, not glued, the shopkeeper said, if it is not for the girl to buy the dowry, this coral, no matter what, it will not change hands......"

Wisteria and Qingcheng looked at Mama Zhang's guidance, and Qingcheng clapped her hands and smiled: "Mama!" Ming'er ordered the dowry to be put into the treasury, and this job must be sent to me! I copied that booklet, and my hands were so sore that I copied it, so I had to take a good look at what all these good things I copied!" Li Xiaoqi exhaled lightly and said with a smile: "I promise you for Mama, you will take your time and enter the warehouse slowly!"

The group laughed while watching, turned a few corners, and arrived in front of a side room, Mama Zhang pointed to the side room and said with a smile: "Let's go in and see a few dowries in this house, it was sent by someone from Xinyang Lu Tianshi's mansion to send it over, the day before yesterday just arrived, the girl was busy that day, and she didn't care about looking at it," Mama Zhang paused, her voice lowered and continued: "In the end, it is a hundred-year-old heavenly master's family, and there is no such thing in the former palace." ”

The mother-in-law who guarded the dowry in the wing room had already come out, Li Xiaoqi followed Mama Zhang into the wing, and there were six dowries in the wing, Li Xiaoqi lifted the outermost red silk covered with the dowry, and under the big red silk was a pile of pearls that were stacked very neatly, Mama Zhang stepped forward and picked up the top row of red gold round buckles and smiled: "Girl, this is a pearl curtain, it stands to reason that such a soybean-sized pearl is not unusual, but it is difficult to hang tens of thousands of beads in this hanging curtain, all round, the same size, the same color, I don't know what thread to use for this bead, and I can't see the thread half a step away. ”

Li Xiaoqi stretched out his hand to hold the dense pearl curtain, did not speak, Qingcheng exclaimed, reached out and shook the pile of high pearls and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful!" Wisteria gently pulled her, and the two followed to another dowry, Mama Zhang opened the two-foot-long rosewood box placed on it, and carefully held the handle of the jade sword that was transparent and seemed to be bright through the layer of red silk, and said with a smile: "The steward who sent the congratulatory gift said that this jade sword used to be the saber of the second generation of heavenly masters, and it has killed countless demons, and it is a holy relic to ward off evil spirits, and it is best to keep it in the town house." Li Xiaoqi took a closer look, motioned to Mama Zhang to put it back, followed and looked at the rest of the things, and watched Mama Zhang carefully cover the red silk, before he whispered: "Don't open these lifts for a while, just cover the red silk and carry it over." ”

Mama Zhang hurriedly agreed and smiled: "That's what I mean, these things are too precious and rare, so we don't need to use this to add face." Looking at the time is almost up, the girl walks here, or in the main hall to recognize her relatives, Fan Da/Grandma visiting the church to recognize relatives is a big deal, no matter what, it is not easy to wronged Fan Da/Grandma ......"

Li Xiaoqi smiled and nodded, wrapped his cloak and walked out of the wing, bypassing the dowry everywhere, and entering through the back door of the main hall.

Shuilian and Sister Zhang had already arrived, and they were standing at the door of the main hall to watch Mrs. Fan worship the hall, and when they saw Li Xiaoqi coming in, they were busy smiling and greeting each other, and said some words of congratulations. While talking, Li Zonggui helped Mrs. Shen to turn in from behind, and Sister Zhang hurriedly took two steps over, and asked with a smile: "I let people boil a bowl of bird's nest for my mother-in-law in the morning, did my mother-in-law eat it?" ”

"Eat it, don't let people boil this next time, in fact, white fungus is the same, it's not worse than bird's nest, bird's nest is not something we can eat often." Shen Pozi smiled and said politely, Sister Zhang and Li Zonggui supported Shen Pozi left and right, helped her to sit down on the right hand side of the head, Li Xiaoqi stood next to her and smiled: "Why can't Grandma eat often?" What does Grandma want to eat? ”

"That's it!" Sister Zhang followed with a smile on her palms, Shui Lian with a gentle smile, bowed respectfully to Mrs. Shen, and then sat down under Wei Shuisheng, at the door, Li Zongliang was slightly in front of half a step, Mrs. Fan followed carefully behind, had already gone up the steps, everyone in the room was busy seated, Li Zongliang and Mrs. Fan first walked to Mrs. Shen and knelt down in front of Mrs. Shen and saluted, Mrs. Shen accepted a bronze skirt from Mrs. Fan, and put the bracelet of the red gold centennial lotus leaf in the tray.

The two first turned to Wei Shuisheng and Shuilian, greeted each other, Shuilian put a ruby hairpin back, to Li Erhuai and Sister Zhang, Sister Zhang is still a pair of heavy gold nuggets like red gold bracelets, the two turned around, the top right is Li Zonggui sitting, Li Zonggui did not wait for the two to approach, he had already stood up and smiled to the end, took the shoes of Mrs. Fan, put a pen to wash it back and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is an elegant person, this rain is suitable for sister-in-law." ”

"It's the Heavenly Master's Mansion again?" Li Xiaoqi asked with a smile, and Li Zonggui nodded seriously: "I had the foresight at that time, and I went along with it." Everyone laughed, Li Zongliang smiled and patted Li Zonggui's shoulder, took half a step to the side, and arrived in front of Li Xiaoqi, Li Xiaoqi had already stood up, bowed his knees to the two of them, and turned around to take a pair of jade blossom rich bracelets handed by Wisteria and returned the salute.

Shui Yan stood on the steps of the gate, explaining the rules to the sergeants in red clothes and trousers, who were selected from the Tiger Wing Army to serve as the bearers, Lu Feng stood next to Shui Yan with his back hand on his face, just looking at the hustle and bustle that filled the alley in a daze.
