"Thank you." Li Yan thanked him in a low voice, and Mama Su moved closer to Li Yan, "Miss, there is still something to do, I have to tell you." The first thing is the matter of this courtyard, this courtyard is the best courtyard that the Li family can count. ”

Mama Su paused, and Li Yan blurted out and asked, "What's the ...... in this courtyard?"

"I just said that the eldest lady is a smart person. This courtyard was lived by Miss Li San, the daughter of Xiao Li Xiangguo, when the empire fell at the end of the previous dynasty and the Li family fell, the third lady with seven or eight girls who were waiting closely, closed the door and died in this courtyard. Mama Su only vaguely said that she died in the courtyard, and she didn't dare to say it directly, so she died in the five upper rooms where they were staying now.

"That third lady is a fierce person, I heard that she killed a few girls first, and then wiped her neck. Alas, speaking of which, the catastrophe of the Li family back then killed many people, but in addition to Xiao Li Xiangguo, there was only this third lady who committed suicide, and it is no wonder that Xiao Li Xiangguo loved this third lady the most. Mama Su slowly twisted the Buddha beads in her hand, she didn't want to say these gossips, but she had to say them.

"No one lived in it later, was there a ghost in this yard or something?" Li Yan asked very clearly, and Mama Su subconsciously glanced around and nodded, "Ling Zu later asked people to renovate and arrange this courtyard, saying that it was for studying, but he didn't move in later. ”

Li Yan turned her head and looked around, she didn't believe in the way of ghosts and gods at all before, but now, she couldn't tell it a little......

"Don't worry too much about the eldest lady, first, there are many people in this courtyard, and secondly, evil is always invincible." Mama Su looked at Li Yan who was looking around, and persuaded a little unboundedly.

"I'm not afraid of this." Li Yan responded, "Mama, I don't read much and don't know much, you say, what way out can I have in the future?" ”

Mama Su was stunned by her question, "What did the eldest lady say?" I didn't understand, the way out for the eldest lady is in this house? Or is it from outside the house? ”

"Outside." Li Yan looked at Mama Su.

"That's getting married?" Mama Su seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "The eldest lady is worried about the situation in front of her, it will be difficult to marry a good family?" ”

"It's not." Li Yan pondered how to say, "My identity is to suddenly pierce a thorn in this mansion, they are uncomfortable, I am also very uncomfortable, this thorn cannot be dissolved, it can only be removed, if it is removed, where can I go?" Is there any other way out than to get married? ”

"Since the eldest lady can understand this, she must have been desperate and came back. There is no way out in the field, what way out can there be in the capital? Fortunately, the eldest lady is not young, so hurry up and settle down after the New Year, and marry next year, just marry in the past, that is her own family. Mama Su comforted Li Yan with a little confusion, since she thought so clearly, why did she still ask such a thing?

Li Yan was dumbfounded, and after a while he reluctantly asked, "What about the monks?" Are there many taboos for monks? Are there any practices that lead the way? ”

"Miss." Mama Su smiled, "Girls, unless you have a serious illness or a big change, how can you become a monk and practice?" Besides, in such a situation as the eldest lady, if you leave home, what will the world say about Mrs. Chen? Say this Li family? How is it possible to make you a monk? ”

Mama Su looked at Li Yan, who was frowning, and the confusion in her heart was even stronger, "What is the secret of the eldest lady that is not easy to say?" The eldest lady's plans are a little different. ”

"It's nothing," Li Yan immediately realized that he was too different, "I've been following my uncle around to do business, and it's a little uncomfortable to think that I can only stay in this small courtyard in the future and never go anywhere." ”

Mama Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "That's the same." There is a mother-in-law in our house, she was only more than two years old when her mother died, her father was a messenger in the house, and he loved the child, so he carried her all over the world to send letters, and then this mother-in-law grew up and got married, and lived at home for less than two years, and fell ill uncomfortably, saying that day by day, it was the same as going to prison. ”

"I'm pretty much the same." Li Yan is a little grateful, this Mama Su, this thoughtfulness is really touching.

"The eldest lady is an understanding person, so I have everything to say. Nine out of ten women in this world live in this backyard for a lifetime, but there are exceptions, such as the eldest princess, when she was eighteen or nineteen years old, she said that there was no man she wanted to marry in the world, and if she didn't marry, she wouldn't marry. Later, Emperor Taizong's mountain collapsed, and the eldest princess accompanied the king of Changsha to the country, watching the king of Changsha grow up peacefully and peacefully, becoming his own son, and doing what men do. ”

Mama Su looked at Li Yan with a smile on her face, "There are many royal princesses, but there are not many like the eldest princess, this is because people have the ability, regardless of men and women, they have no ability, they have the ability, they have the ability, they have the big ability, but it is very different." ”

"I see." Li Yan's three words are a little weak, she doesn't have such skills, she doesn't have the ability, so don't think too much.

Mama Su said a few more words and withdrew, Li Yan was crooked on the couch, stunned for a while, closed her eyes, Yushu came in, took the bed quilt lightly, and covered her body.

"Yushu."

"Huh?" Yushu hurriedly responded, Li Yan's eyes didn't open, "I think, when we come to this Li family, it seems that we have thrown ourselves into a net, entered this net, and then want to go out...... I can't seem to get out......"

…………

In Pei's mansion, not far from Li's house, Pei Qingduan sat behind the long case, writing something smoothly while listening to the steward: "The Li Mansion is over there...... Placed in Yutanyuan, there is no movement, saying that the ancestral hall will be opened tomorrow...... In the palace, the eldest princess entered the palace as soon as she dispersed early, and I heard that the emperor summoned her, and she didn't come out until the beginning of the day...... Before and after, Empress Wu sent her attendants to Chen's mansion to send something, like a pot of mountain tea...... At noon, the eldest prince took the second prince to Guangde Building for dinner, and went out to watch the play in Nancheng Wazi. ”

"Watching a play? What kind of drama did you watch? The pen in Pei Qing's hand stopped, looked at the steward and asked.

"Hui Ye, he is the judge played by the Yao family's team." The steward replied hurriedly.

Pei Qing sighed, turned his head and looked at Sun Rong who was standing at the end of the long case with his hands down, "It's sincere." ”

"No, the play of the judge is very lively, and there is nothing that children don't like." Sun Rong bowed and smiled.

Pei Qing stood up, waved, the steward hurriedly lowered his hand and withdrew, Pei Qing walked to the window with his hands behind his back, pushed open the window, looked at the depressed dead vines and dead trees outside, for a while, he sighed lowly, "It's been peaceful for more than thirty years, and it's about to come to an end." ”10
