The next day, Zhuang Xiuniang finally came to Xiyuan, but not with Li Sinian, but with Pang Zi.

I haven't seen Ponzi for a long time, and it looks like she is a lot older and haggard, and sitting with Ling, but Ling, who is four or five years older than Ponzi, looks younger. In the Li family, everyone knows that Pang Zi's body is the root of the illness caused by taking care of Li Zhuoyue back then. In terms of talent, Li Zhuoyue is the smartest and most talented of the three brothers, and he is also the top in terms of appearance. However, God is jealous of talents, and the disease that falls from congenital is a medicine jar from childhood to adulthood. Although he hired a lot of doctors and used a lot of precious medicinal materials, he was just hanging on to his life.

Although his son has such a body, he really shouldn't spoil other people's ladies, but he still has the ability to take the Qiu Yu exam. Thinking selfishly, even if he doesn't live long, he will leave the incense behind him. So I don't dare to think that Li Liangxun is the same as Li Xunzhuo, one is a relative set by the clan, and the other is a well-known good person in Pu'an, but he just found the Pang family, who is also a scholarly family but has fallen into despair.

I have to say that Pang Zi suffered a lot during his time in the Li family, but he also won the respect of the Li family. Although Li Zhuoyue passed away, the childless Pang family lived alone in Taoyuan, but the Li family never lost any food. When Li Ge was at home, the food in Taoyuan was the same as that of Taiheyuan, and no one was sloppy.

Although Pang Zi is outstanding, Li Ge Lao succeeded Li Sinian as a son for her, who is young and promising, has a good character, and is filial. What's more, Li Sinian's biological parents can only be regarded as extremely far side branches of the Li family, and they are married to the point of despair, and they are only grateful to Dade for Li Ge's willingness to let Li Sinian pass by, and they will not interfere at all. This is also a life for Ponzi to have no regrets.

However, as a mother, she also has the heart to find a good family for her son. first fell in love with Yan Sui, but because of the relationship between the Liu family, she gave up. Later, I saw that the Ling family and the lord of Yinghua were married, and they were about to ask her to give a few ladies, but the sister of the sibling appeared.

"This is Xiu Niang, who was the lady last time?" Ling Shi looked at Zhuang Xiuniang, who was dressed in jujube red and looked cramped and uneasy, and the smile on her face was a little faint, and it didn't touch her eyes.

Pang Zi was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't remember which one it was last time, but Xiaohong answered, "Back to the second lady, last time it was Mei Niang, Xiu Niang's sister." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be sisters, no wonder the eyebrows look similar." Ling Shi smiled, nodded, looked at Xiaohong and said, "You didn't change it, you came last time, right?" ”

Xiaohong choked up for half a sentence, and several maids behind Ling pursed their lips and chuckled, their faces were burning like fire for a while, and they stopped speaking out in embarrassment. Pang Zi was also a little embarrassed, and said: "Mei Niang promised a good family last year, and she went to the door at the beginning of spring." "Pang Zi is naturally not easy to say, in order to marry her daughter to Li Sinian, her sister has several reserves at home. Mei Niang was eighteen years old when she was born, and she was afraid that she would be delayed and would not be able to get married, so she tightened up and found someone to promise to be a concubine, and brought Xiuniang, who was two years younger than her, to dress up.

"The dealer is prosperous, I remember that my aunt gave birth to four ladies herself, this time with the Mei Niangzi and the Xiu Niangzi, it is really lively." Ling said.

Pang Shi was not able to speak, and when he heard Ling's lazy tone, he couldn't answer. Fortunately, Cui's mother and Qiu's mother were playing a round on the side, and before the atmosphere cooled down, Cui's mother was obviously relieved to see the three Shaohua sisters coming.

"Xiuniang, hurry up and meet your three sisters, Sanniang, Wuniang and Qiniang." Pang Zi urged, Zhuang Xiuniang hurriedly got up and saluted them, and the three girls here also returned the salute. After saying that, he suddenly coughed, and his whole face looked ugly.

"On such a cold day, it's good to send someone over and say a word, don't let yourself be sick." Maybe it's because of the relationship with Suifeng Tower, the Ling family also seems to be a little unkind to Pang Clan, but she doesn't feel comfortable seeing her like this.

Pang Zi shook his head, "Look at the good weather today, I will go out for a walk, it just so happens that Xiuniang lives at home, so I don't have to come to ask Erbom to say goodbye." "Coughing as he spoke, killing the scenery." It's not good to let a little lady lock me in the house, so I called to get to know Sanniang and them. ”

The Ling family was upset by the cowardice of the concubine, and didn't want to say more, so he beckoned his daughter and said, "Sanniang, a few of you accompany Xiuniang to Biwuxuan for a walk, and then send Xiuniang back." Hanxiang went to find a step for the third lady, and she couldn't freeze when she walked back in this weather. ”

Zhuang Xiuniang looked at Pang Zi with some concern, and when she saw her shaking her head, she blessed her body and left with Wanhua and them.

Wanhua was a little unhappy in her heart, but she was just a little concubine, and she was guilty of all three of them coming out to greet her, and asked her to say that it would be enough to save face if Jinhua accompanied her. "Qi Niang, go and sit with you, what kind of tea did your father bring back last time, do you have anything here, take some out and give it to Xiu Niangzi to taste."

Jinhua grew taller rapidly, her body bones seemed to spring up after a rain, and her eyebrows and eyes were more like Aunt Su, which looked more feminine. Hearing Wanhua say this, he was a little reluctant, and said, "I've finished eating early, how long has it been." She was very uncomfortable with the thief-like glittering eyes of the maid Xiaohong, as if she wanted to strip herself naked. Fang Cai was walking on the road, accidentally touched her fur collar, touched it a few times excitedly, and walked a few steps faster next to Shaohua in disgust.

"Then what tea do you have there, I have drunk all the autumn tea in the house, and I don't know when I will send the spring tea over." Wanhua just didn't want Zhuang Xiuniang's master and servant to step into her yard, so she desperately found an excuse to get it in Jinhua's house.

"I don't have anything here, I heard that the fifth sister got a bottle of plum wine from her husband, but it was sweet. Why don't we try it? Jinhua is not stupid, and Wanhua raised her eyebrows proudly.

"No, that's Wu Niang from Mr., it's just such a small bottle, it's not enough for the three of us." Wanhua said unhappily.

"One person and one small bite will be fine." Jinhua said.

"Qi Niang!" Wanhua was about to get angry, for fear that they would make trouble on the road, Shaohua hurriedly answered, "There is no plum wine, why don't you eat grapefruit tea, it was made during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it should be edible now." He smiled at Zhuang Xiuniang again: "Sister Xiuniang doesn't mind, right?" ”

"How come, the fifth sister is polite." Zhuang Xiuniang replied with a smile.

She is not a fool, how could she not hear Wanhua and Jinhua shirk each other, but what can she say, she was driven to the shelves by ducks. Even the clothes on her body were borrowed from her sister's house, and if she went back like this, she would return it.

Zhuang Xiuniang didn't forget what her grandmother told her, as long as she can marry in, not to mention the rich clothes and food in the future, even her aunt and sister will have a good life. If you can't get married, you will be like Mei Niang, and you will be allowed to be an aunt to a big family. Not to mention that Mei Niang, who is also a concubine, is the sister of the concubine, and three of the four are aunts. It can only be said that they are lucky, at least they will not be as depressed as their aunts.

In Aunt Pang's words, the reason why Mei Niang failed to marry in was because she didn't have enough time with Li Sinian, and she couldn't bring Mei Niang to Li's house for three days. Therefore, she found an excuse to leave Zhuang Xiuniang in the Li family, wanting to have a building near the water to get the moon first.

Zhuang Xiuniang still likes this dignified cousin who has no blood relationship in her heart, she is so big, she can count the Lang Juns she has seen with her fingers, but she has never seen a cousin like Li Sinian. What's more, he is one of the four gentlemen in Beijing, and many other people's ladies are worried about him. Zhuang Xiuniang thought about her future life and decided to work hard, so she was surprised and grateful for Shaohua's accosting.

It's just that she doesn't know that Shaohua doesn't have that much, she just doesn't want Wanhua to make jokes in front of outsiders.

"Who lives in this courtyard?" Passing by the courtyard where Yan Sui lived before, Xiaohong asked curiously.

But no one accosted her, so Zhuang Xiuniang had no choice but to ask, "It seems that no one lives inside?" "Originally, I came to Biwuxuan from Xiyuan through Huansiyuan, so I went to Jinhua's courtyard first, but was bypassed by Jinhua. Now if you want to go to Shaohua House, you will inevitably pass by the courtyard where Yan Sui used to live, and since Yan Sui returned home, the yard has been empty, and the things inside have not even moved. Seeing that the courtyard door was locked, Zhuang Xiuniang naturally asked curiously.

"In the past, when the sister of the Liu family came to live in the house, she lived here, and then when she went home, the yard was locked." Jinhua was pushed behind by Wanhua, and then reluctantly replied to Zhuang Xiuniang's words.

Zhuang Xiuniang nodded clearly, but Xiaohong asked excitedly: "Then can my lady also live in?" ”

"Yan Niangzi is the eldest lady's niece." Yiliu was angered by Xiaohong's repeated presumptuous words, "She is also the fourth young lady in the future." ”

Xiaohong took the words "Liu's niece" and "the future fourth young lady" out of context, and directly converted her identity to Zhuang Xiuniang, "My lady is also the niece of the third lady, the future, don't ......" Xiaohong didn't finish speaking, she was covered by Zhuang Xiuniang, and she smiled embarrassedly at them: "Xiaohong is not sensible, please don't be strange to the three sisters." I won't go to the fifth sister today, I don't know how the second aunt is doing, I still can't rest assured, I want to go back and see. ”

"In this case, then I'll let Hanzhang send you over." Wanhua immediately readily agreed.

"Then there will be labor." Zhuang Xiuniang pulled Xiaohong's clothes, only to see Xiaohong glaring at her, turning around and walking in front of her. Hanzhang saluted the three girls, and then left with Zhuang Xiuniang.

Jinhua stepped forward, looked at the awkward master and servant, put his hands on his chest, and sneered, "In the future, I think it will never come." ”

"With her virtue, she still wants to marry her second brother, I really don't know what this aunt's wife thinks." It is rare for Wanhua to unite with Jinhua.

"The second brother is a good person." Shaohua made a more pertinent summary.

The two of them turned back to her and said, "What's the matter with her?" ”

"Yes, I won't marry her!"

Shaohua looked at the two of them rarely being so consistent, and laughed, Wanhua herself felt uncomfortable, pretending to straighten the floor, and said to Shaohua: "You will avoid them in the future, don't be good-tempered and let people take advantage." ”

Jinhua also agreed with Wanhua's words, and nodded, "I see that maid, her hands and feet are not very clean, if you really go to your yard, remember to ask Chuhe and them to put away their things, don't go to it." From Jinhua's tone, Aunt Pang's ability to take the sheep by the hand is well known to passers-by in the Li family.

"Okay, I got it." Although I don't know what direct relationship Zhuang Xiuniang and Xiaohong have to do with her when they come to Li's house as guests, but for the sake of the rare harmony and tacit understanding between Wanhua and Jinhua, Shaohua also nodded very cooperatively.
