The next morning, after Shi Niang finished her family's affairs, she wrote a letter to Mrs. Gan and asked her to help Qi Niang find a doctor.

Xu Lingyi has not returned.

Eleven Niang went to Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai had just come back from the Buddha Hall, and when she saw her coming, she smiled and said, "Have you ever seen anyone as idle as you?" Come and sit with me every day! ”

Eleven Niang smiled: "The housekeepers can do it, so naturally I don't have anything to do!" He sat down on the kang and told Mrs. Tai about going to Lin's house in the afternoon.

Mrs. Tai didn't care, and only asked her if she would come back for dinner.

"Come back for dinner." Eleven Niang smiled, "Just go get a painting." ”

Mrs. Tai nodded and asked about the preparations for the banquet for Mrs. Jiang.

Eleven Niang responded one by one, accompanied Mrs. Tai to lunch, served Mrs. Tai to rest, and then returned to the house.

Told the little maid to invite Aunt Wen, she went to the clean room to refresh, and when she came out, Aunt Wen was already waiting in the house.

She wore a white silver striped gown, a light blue Hangzhou silk skirt, her hair neatly combed back in a bun, and a gilded hairpin with a little oil inserted in a regular manner. Seeing that Shi Niang was wearing an apricot blossom white gauze shirt, a peach-colored Hangzhou silk skirt, combed a high bun, and a phoenix hairpin with red gold beads, she breathed a sigh of relief. Usually Eleven Niang dresses plainly at home, and she is really afraid that Eleven Niang will go to Lin's house to visit relatives, as always. So I deliberately put a lot of thought into it, and tried to stand next to Eleven Niang without eyesight.

Eleven Niang just felt that Aunt Wen was very simple today, and even the iconic earrings were replaced with small gilt silver lantern earplugs today.

Maybe it's because it's the first time I've been to Lin's house, right?

She pondered.

It's better to hide clumsily than to be in the limelight for unknown reasons!

The two went to Lin's house.

Grandma Lin was very surprised to see Aunt Wen, and quietly welcomed Eleven Niang to the main room to serve tea. Aunt Wen stood behind Eleven Niang with her head bowed, her respectful attitude comparable to Amber and the others.

Grandma Lin and Aunt Wen said a few words, and Shao Zhongran came.

Eleven Niang and Aunt Wen looked behind the screen.

Looking closely, Shao Zhongran has that kind of brightness and warmth without wind and frost.

Everyone in the Shao family has moved to the newly bought house. Lin Da*ma and Shao Zhongran asked a few words like "is the new house comfortable", and then served tea.

After Shao Zhongran left, she handed the painting to Eleven Niang: "It can still be used!" ”

Eleven Niang smiled: "Wait until I take it back and take a look!" ”

Lin Da*'s grandmother didn't ask any more questions, and told Eleven Niang about some short things in the family, and Eleven Niang said goodbye.

"How?" In the carriage, she asked Aunt Wen.

Aunt Wen muttered: "Young Master Shao is polite and polite, and when he laughs, he carries a few pieces of innocence. It's not like it's being disguised. ”

In other words, she also thinks it's true temperament!

"We can't get out." Shi Niang listened and thought about it, "Mr. Li is not at home, even if the Hou Ye comes forward, he must have a grandiose reason!" ”

Aunt Wen knew that she was talking about meeting with Li Gongzi, and she couldn't help but have a headache.

For a while, the two were silent.

Back at home, Aunt Wen followed Eleven Niang to the Water Pavilion.

Sister Zhen is being accompanied by Binju to do needlework. In the sunset, her expression was quiet and bright.

Seeing Eleven Niang and Aunt Wen walking in one after the other, Sister Zhen was slightly stunned before stepping forward to salute.

Eleven Niang asked Binju: "Hasn't Master Hou come back yet?" ”

"Not yet!" Hamaju said respectfully.

Eleven Niang asked about Sister Zhen'er's situation and went to the main house.

Aunt Wen stepped forward, and when she saw that Eleven Niang's expression was a little solemn, the words of comfort made the ghost say in a terrible voice: "Madam, don't worry. Hou Ye used to have times when he didn't return at night, mostly because of urgent matters in the court......" Before the words fell, both of them showed a few surprises on their faces.

"Really?" Shi Niang replied casually, afraid that Aunt Wen would say something similar again, and said, "Regarding the matter of Li Gongzi, I can only wait for Hou Ye to come back - the people of the Li family have been waiting for news from our side, and they act rashly, if there is any misunderstanding, it will be troublesome." Since Master Hou is not at home, Aunt Wen will go back first! ”

Aunt Wen still flashed a trace of discomfort in her eyes before, and when Eleven Niang finished speaking, she had recovered her nature, smiled and bowed to Eleven Niang, and retreated.

Xu Lingyi suddenly came back in the evening.

Eleven Niang was a little surprised.

Xu Lingyi saw it clearly, but didn't explain anything.

Eleven Niang talked to him about today's events.

Xu Lingyi was taken aback when she heard this, and then asked, "What did Aunt Wen say?" ”

Eleven Niang relayed Aunt Wen's words to Xu Lingyi.

Xu Lingyi was silent for a long time and didn't speak.

Eleven Niang offered to let him arrange to meet Li Ji.

"I'll give it a try!" He hesitated to agree.

In the afternoon of the next day, Shi Niang was setting the menu for the banquet with Li's mother, who was in charge of the kitchen, and Lin Bo ran in with a smoke: "Madam, Master Hou invites you and Aunt Wen to talk to the outer study." ”

Eleven Niang was secretly surprised, and called the little maid to call Aunt Wen, and the two met at Biyi Gate and went to the outer academy together.

The living room of the courtyard is wide open, and you can clearly see the scene of the hall when you enter the courtyard door. book

Xu Lingyi sat on the Taishi chair in the middle, and a young man in a green shirt stood in front of him.

He is about the same height as Sister Zhen'er, with a thin figure unique to a young man.

This teenager should be Li Ji?

Eleven Niang hesitated.

Can't you just walk in like this?

The thought flashed, and he saw Lin Bo walking over in three steps and two steps, and bowed his hand: "Master Hou, Madam is here!" ”

Xu Lingyi stood up. Eleven Niang saw the young man in green shirt turn sideways and take a few steps back, his head hanging slightly, standing respectfully beside the black lacquer landing pillar on the side.

Seeing this, Eleven Niang walked in, but the corner of her eye kept paying attention to Li Ji. Before Xu Lingyi could speak, she said: "I don't know that Hou Ye has a guest, and I ask Hou Ye to forgive me." Just because there was an urgent matter to ask the Hou Ye to decide, he took the liberty to break in. After speaking, he presented the menu that Li's mother had prepared just now.

It can't be said that he was called by Xu Lingyi!

Xu Lingyi took the list and introduced Li Ji to Eleven Niang: "Li Zongbing's second son, Li Ji!" ”

He saluted to Eleven Niang unhurriedly, looking elegant and calm.

"Li Gongzi!" Eleven Niang greeted him with a smile, her eyes wandering around his face.

has fair skin, eyebrows and nose, and facial features, no worse than Shao Zhongran. It's just that the temperament of the two is very different. Shao Zhongran can still see the edges and corners of his nature, but Li Ji is very restrained at a young age, lacking some personal characteristics. Therefore, it doesn't look as outstanding as Shao Zhongran.

He bowed in response.

Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang went to the East Wing. Aunt Wen guarded the identity of the concubine and stood quietly in front of the threshold.

A dozen mothers couldn't help but whisper to Xu Lingyi, who was looking at the menu seriously: "Why did you call Li Gongzi?" What excuse is used? ”

Xu Lingyi's eyes fell on the menu and replied to Eleven Niang's words: "It was General Li who wrote me a letter and asked me about the situation in the DPRK and China, and Li Gongzi specially sent it to me." ”

Shi Niang asked pointedly: "Does General Li often write to you to discuss the situation between Korea and China with you?" ”

"That's not the case." Xu Lingyi replied pointedly, "Sometimes, people have to use some extraordinary means. Then I discussed the menu with her: "Jiangxi vegetable oil is thick, the taste is fat, and I like to eat chili peppers." It's rare that you can find ingredients to make stone chicken. ”

Eleven Niang also knew that this was not the time for discussion, so she changed the topic as he changed the topic: "I don't know if I can make an authentic taste at that time." Do your best! ”

Xu Lingyi nodded: "Then that's it for the time being!" ”

Eleven Niang bowed her knees and retreated with Aunt Wen.

"Madam, Master Li......" As soon as she arrived at the Weeping Flower Gate, Aunt Wen said hesitantly, "Master Li, I didn't look at you and Master Hou from beginning to end, and I stood there without moving." ”

Ordinary people, out of curiosity, will take a second look at strange things that suddenly appear around them.

"Although this Li Gongzi is only sixteen years old, I am afraid that he can bear it very much!" Aunt Wen's voice revealed a few worries.

"Do you think it's bad?"

Aunt Wen's eyes showed a hint of confusion: "I can't say it...... I just feel a little too calm. ”

More than enough is too much.

Eleven Niang also feels this way.

Aunt Wen said again: "Madam, is Master Hou satisfied with Gongzi Li?" ”

"That's all there to say." Shi Niang was silent for a while, and said, "There are no absolutes in everything, and you can always find shortcomings to convince Hou Ye." Just don't know if it's the right thing to do? Her voice was a little hoarse.

Aunt Wen pursed her lips, and the two walked to the Biyi Gate.

One to the east, back to the water pavilion, and the other to the west, back to the Nong Xiang Yuan.

Aunt Wen did not salute Eleven Niang, but stopped.

"Madam, I think, you should inquire carefully about the details of Shao Gongzi, right? If it doesn't work, it's better to slowly help the eldest lady find a suitable one! ”

It means that Li Ji can't do it!

Eleven Niang was a little surprised by Aunt Wen's decisiveness in this matter.

Aunt Wen has said in a low voice: "Men are sometimes confused, which is the blessing of a woman's life." ”

Is this how she feels?

Eleven Niang stood on the Biyi Gate and did not make a sound for a long time.

After that, Xu Lingyi asked her, "How?" The Li kid is not bad, right? ”

"Has Master Hou made up his mind?" Eleven Niang asked Xu Lingyi rhetorically.

Xu Lingyi was slightly stunned when he listened.

"I think the Li family is too eager, and Li Gongzi is too calm." Eleven Niang said bluntly, "This is the case in marriage, but I'm afraid it will be the same in other things." ”

Xu Lingyi frowned when she heard this, but the next day she sent someone to inquire about Shao Zhongran's situation.

Eleven Niang didn't pay much attention to it, she was busy opening the warehouse and getting the utensils, and sent her mother-in-law to Jiang's house to finalize the arrival time of Mrs. Jiang and Miss Jiang's Jiu. I asked Mr. Zhao for another day off, and in front of Brother Chen, he only said that there were relatives from afar, and on the sixteenth day, everyone greeted Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang and Miss Jiang Jiajiu with a smile.

Mrs. Jiang was of medium height, looking to be twenty-seven or eighteen years old. The person is white, with red phoenix eyes, a high nose bridge, and her expression is a little serious when she doesn't speak, and there is a pear vortex on the right side when she speaks, which not only makes her expression softer, but also a little playful.

Miss Jiang Jiajiu is very similar to her mother's facial features, but she is still young, her expression is immature, and she is very likable.
