With a child, the flower hall became lively, Yueting patiently slapped and played with Ah Ming, took the rope to play with the rope, Shui Tong looked at Ah Ming gently, and finally had an expression on his face, Fan Lady and Sun Lady surrounded the side, laughing and watching Yueting and Ah Ming play.

Shuilian played with her for a while, quietly retreated to Li Xiaoyi's side, gently pulled her, the two of them went out of the flower hall, entered a very small tea room next to it along the verandah, and sat on the couch, Shuilian sighed: "Fifth sister, don't blame me, please come to this courtyard, just want you to see Sister Tong like this, you see, this matter is over, you look at her like this, I have all the good things to say, if it weren't for Ah Ming, she!" "Shuilian is angry and anxious, a 'she' word is blocked in her throat, she can't go on, Li Xiaoqi sipped her tea, was silent and didn't answer, Shui Tong is mourning more than heart death, such a mourning, does she love Chen Zhongliang? There is nothing to doubt about this, in this world, no matter what kind of world, there are people, men and women, there is love, she saved her, and killed her, Su Wanfang's words nakedly tore the veil of self-deception in Shui Tong's heart, and also cut off the last trace of connection between her and Chen Zhongliang - the nominal husband and wife.

Li Xiaoqi shuddered lightly, this is the price to pay, he once paid for his life, Li Xiaoqi closed his eyes, the same mistake, one time is enough, this life, that thought, so far, if you don't love yourself, no one loves yourself.

Alas, what can she do? She can't save herself, this hurt of love, only the passage of time, maybe it can be diluted, maybe it can't, if she wants to work, she wants to earn money to support herself and raise her children, she has to clean and pick up the children to do housework, she wants this and that countless things to do, this pain will not have time to hurt, but she doesn't need to, she doesn't need to, she is a noble girl from the water family, except for the sad wind and the moon, she doesn't have to do anything, everyone is careful to remind her of her misfortune and pain, what's ••••• Well, maybe this is a way!

Li Xiaoqi looked up at Shui Lian and asked, "I heard that the Shui family has a nursing home outside the south gate of the city?" ”

"Hmmm! It specializes in sheltering the elderly, the sick, the lonely and the poor, and sometimes the travelers are poor and sick, and they also send medicine and food. Shui Lian was stunned and replied, she told her about Shui Tong, what did she mention this?

"The Shui family is a family of mercy, the day before yesterday I saw an excerpt of the Salesian Bureau, and now Mr. Wang, who is in charge of the Salesian Bureau, is seriously ill, and even the excerpt is written by his son. Li Xiaoqi suggested with a smile, Shui Lian looked at Li Xiaoqi in amazement, crying and laughing and speechless, what is this! How can they be girls from the Shui family to show up and take care of those orphans?

"Before Mr. Wang, the Salesian Bureau was managed by Mrs. Li, you also know, Mrs. Li is a very compassionate person, not to mention the table of the imperial court, I heard that many people in Kaiping Mansion have her tablet at home, Shui Tong is now like this, her heart is like ashes, let her have something to do, when she gets busy, she will not be so sad, besides, do something, the mood can also be cheerful, this is one, two, reach out to help the poor and sad in this world, do such good deeds, you can also accumulate blessings and atone for your sins, ask for blessings for your son, and ask for blessings for you." Li Xiaoqi looked at Shui Lian and persuaded, Shui Lian looked at Li Xiaoqi hesitantly: "There is no such precedent, our Shui family ••••••"

"There is a first time in everything, someone from your Shui family goes to take care of the Salesian Bureau, it is only good for the Shui family, this matter is not in a hurry, you go back first to discuss with Second Master Shui, as well as your father, and listen to what they mean." Li Xiaoqi interrupted Shui Lian's words and said, Shui Lian twisted her eyebrows and thought about it: "It's better to ask Sister Tong first, in case the second brother thinks it's good, and Sister Tong doesn't want to, then it's not good." ”

"Shui Tong doesn't need to ask, when the time comes, you can tell her that this is to do good deeds to atone for her sins and accumulate blessings for Amin, she will definitely be willing." Li Xiaoqi said in a sad whisper, Shui Lian was stunned for a moment, burst into tears, and choked up: "What you said is that in Sister Tong's heart, she feels that she is a person who has committed a heinous and unforgivable crime, and she said that she will definitely fall into the eighteenth layer of hell after her death, and she will never be able to turn over." ”

Li Xiaoqi exhaled softly, she had no way to judge anyone, her own morality and standards, she had to keep it silently.

The two gossiped for a while, and the little girl came over and invited the two of them, climbed the steps, and went to another place to eat.

The steward of the Jingjiang Marquis Mansion was so busy that he couldn't give birth to wings, and finally packed everything up before Su Zicheng and Shui Yan got off the sedan chair at the gate of Yunzhan Courtyard.

Su Zicheng seemed to be in a good mood, and he didn't enter the Yunzhan Courtyard, and Shui Yan climbed straight to the top of the mountain along the mountain path, let the mountain wind blow the cloak, looked into the distance, looked at it for a long time, turned his head to look at Shui Yan, and said with a smile: "The last time we came here, it seems that it was several years ago." ”

"Seven years ago, I remember clearly, you stood on the top of this mountain, clamoring to set foot in Beining, and a year later, it was leveled, and the uncle named King Ning." Shui Yan gathered his cloak and said with a smile, the smile on Su Zicheng's face condensed, faded in a blink of an eye, and returned to his usual coldness, looking into the distance with his hands behind his back, Shui Yan hated to bite off his tongue, the uncle and the second master were reluctant to mention the matter of Ping Beining, he was really confused today!

Shui Yan didn't dare to say more, Su Zicheng didn't say a word, the two of them blew the wind on the top of the mountain for a long time, and went down the mountain one after the other. Su Zicheng was in front, along the quiet path next to the Yunzhan Courtyard, all the way to the door of Cuiwei Villa, the waiter guarding the door saw Su Zicheng from a distance, half of them rushed out, half of them rushed in to call the manager of Farewell Village, and before the manager of Farewell Village came out, Su Zicheng had already turned back and forth with his hands behind his back, Shui Yan followed closely, and he didn't dare to speak more if he said the wrong thing this day.

The two had dinner, Shui Yan sent someone to inform the steward of Cuiwei Villa, go over to see Hanlan early tomorrow morning, arrange everything, accompany Su Zicheng to drink chrysanthemum tea and talk, Shui Yan looked at Su Zicheng, cautiously and tentatively asked, "Do you want to invite Xiao Wu over tomorrow?" Xiao Wu is a real elegant person. ”

"A real Yaren?" Su Zicheng put down the book in his hand, didn't know what to think of, and said with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "If you have the opportunity to comprehend, you will know whether she is elegant or vulgar." ”

"So is she elegant or vulgar?" Shui Yan asked with great interest, Su Zicheng thought for a while, glanced at Shui Yan, picked up the book, and said slowly: "She has nothing elegant and vulgar there, vulgar to her can be elegant, elegant to her hands, can also be vulgar, just look at her mood." ”

Shui Yan raised his eyebrows, looked at Su Zicheng in surprise, and wanted to ask again, but the words turned into another sentence: "I asked people to pick her up, Xiao Wu must like Hanlan." Su Zicheng looked at the book intently, as if he didn't hear Shui Yan's words, Shui Yan squinted at him, raised his eyebrows with a smile, stood up quietly, went outside to write a post, called Pick Yun over and whispered: "You go to the fourth master's courtyard, find the fifth master's girl, give this post to the fifth master, and come back when you get a reply." ”

Pick up the post, bow down and quit to deliver the letter.

Li Xiaoqi took the post and told Begonia to go and talk to Shuilian, early the next morning, Li Xiaoqi yawned, closed his eyes and finished washing, and curled his hair by the light moon, Begonia and Liuyun held up a few clothes for Li Xiaoqi to pick, Li Xiaoqi turned his head and stared at the clothes for a while, waved his hand, and signaled to change a few more, Haitang smiled in surprise and wanted to speak, and swallowed back, Li Xiaoqi looked at her and said with a smile: "Think I picked out clothes?" ”

"It's not! Yes, the fifth master didn't care about this before. Begonia was broken by Li Xiaoyi, and replied with some embarrassment, Li Xiaoqi pointed to those clothes and explained: "It's too bright, I don't like clothes that are too colorful or too complicated, these pieces, you see, are either pink or emerald green, and there are flowers embroidered everywhere, and people who look at them have headaches." ”

"I know, the fifth master is waiting, I'll pick a few more." Begonia happily agreed, turned around and went in, and quickly took a few more dresses over, shook them open to Li Xiaoyi, Li Xiaoqi picked a wide skirt with a silver and white background embroidered with silver silk threads, large and small butterflies, Begonia smiled and agreed: "I also like this, how elegant!" These butterflies can't be seen when they don't move, and when they move, it's like flying out of a skirt! Fifth master, is it good to wear this jacket? Don't wear cotton clothes, the cotton clothes are thick in the end, and the butterfly skirt is not light enough, just wear a thicker cloak outside the fifth master. Li Xiaoqi looked at the light concubine-colored tight-fitting waist-length wide-sleeved jacket in Haitang's hand, and nodded with a smile.

Li Xiaoqi changed his clothes, put on a begonia red feather satin plain thick velvet cloak, took the light moon, went out of the house, and arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Zhuoyun and Nanning had been waiting at the door for a long time, seeing Li Xiaoqi coming out, he was stunned for a while, Nanning reacted first, and said with a smile: "I almost dare not recognize the fifth master." Li Xiaoqi smiled and motioned to the two of them to lead the way, a group of four, through the light cold of early winter, and turned to the path at the entrance of the Jingjiang Hou Mansion in a few steps, Shui Yan and Su Zicheng were already standing at the gate of the courtyard waiting.

Su Zicheng looked at the delicate begonia red that turned out from the trees in early winter, between the cloaks, the silver skirt and butterflies fluttered in the wind, it was really gratifying to see such a begonia red in winter.

Li Xiaoqi walked in front of the two of them, bent his knees with a smile and made a blessing ceremony, Su Zicheng was like the first glance after her smile, raised his hand, looked at the corner of Li Xiaomi's skirt stained with withered grass leaves, and said with a smile, "No need to be polite, there are still a few steps in the past, you can take a sedan chair." Shui Yan hurriedly turned around and instructed the little guy standing with his hands down: "Quickly pass the sedan chair!" ”

The little maid bowed and hurriedly retreated, and after a while, the two mothers-in-law carried a green bamboo sedan chair out, and Li Xiaoqi was not polite, got on the sedan chair, followed Su Zicheng and Shui Yan, and went to Cuiwei Farewell Village.
