"Wu Niang is so stingy, I don't see you playing the pipa for me on weekdays."

The master and servant, who were originally amazed by Shaohua's pipa, were stunned, and when they heard a string of laughter, they twisted their stiff necks and looked out. I saw a girl in a blue dress walking in, her head was shining, her face was radiant, compared to Shaohua's aura, Zhou Yan looked heroic. She strode in, as if she didn't see Zhuang Xiuniang and the others, walked in familiarly, and unceremoniously ordered Chu He to serve her tea.

Chu He was used to seeing the style of this lady of the Hou Mansion, pursed his lips and chuckled, and left. Youhan also went out and prepared some tea and fruit snacks for them.

"I heard that you haven't moved the pipa since the Lantern Festival, I thought you would close the mountain." Zhou Yan quickly snatched the pipa from Shaohua's hand, and sighed loudly, "It is worthy of Mrs. Xingyongbo's beloved thing, this pipa is worth tens of thousands of taels, and people are really willing to give it to you." As he spoke, he deliberately winked ambiguously at Shaohua.

The master and servant on the side, when they heard that the pipa in Zhou Yan's arms was worth tens of thousands, they didn't dare to take a breath. Especially Xiaohong, her eyes were staring at the pipa in Zhou Yan's arms, as if she was going to eat it alive.

Shaohua rolled his eyes, took the pipa back, wrapped it in a cloth, put it away, and then turned around and said to Zhou Yan who was smiling evilly: "Sister Yan is wrong, this is just a gift from my husband, but at most it is only a hundred taels." "The pipa that Mama Rong gave to Shaohua is not inferior, but it is not made of whole wood, and it is always lower to marry. She looked at Zhuang Xiuniang, who had not dared to speak out since she had just entered the door, and hurriedly introduced them: "Sister Xiuniang, this is the Yan Niang of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion." ”

Watching the master and servant give gifts, Zhou Yan waved her hand casually, not giving Shaohua a chance to introduce her, and said to Shaohua: "You can play me another song, I like it." ”

was about to introduce Zhou Yan, listening to Zhou Yan's tone, obviously not taking Zhuang Xiuniang in their eyes, which made them a little embarrassed. Shaohua looked at Zhou Yan and then at Zhuang Xiuniang, I don't know if Zhou Yan was intentional or unintentional. Zhuang Xiuniang also looked at the relationship between this Hou Mansion lady and Shaohua, and thought that she and Shaohua were not relatives, but they just came to visit, and since she had guests, it was not easy to disturb.

So under the pretext of leaving, Shaohua was inconvenient to keep, so he only asked people to send them to the door. Only then did he turn around and look at Zhou Yan with a smug face, and his tone was a little annoyed: "Sister Yan, that is the lady of my third aunt's family just now, you don't have to be like this if you don't like others." ”

Zhou Yan pursed her lips disapprovingly and muttered, "I know whose family she is." Shaohua sighed, "But I don't know this little lady, I've seen the maid next to her." The last time I came with another lady, that time I happened to accompany Sanniang to deliver something in your third aunt's yard. I didn't know that when I met your third aunt's sister, she pinched and touched me, and she let go when I was angry. Later, when I came home, I found that there were two less hairpins on my head. ”

"What pearls?" Shaohua was taken aback, has it been openly staged to rob?

Zhou Yan shrugged her shoulders, "It's not a big deal, it's just a string of Dongzhu, which was given by my uncle." I thought it was too big, and I wore it heavy, so I let the maid disassemble it and make it into a pearl hairpin, and I brought five on my head that day, and I only had three left when I went back. Zhou Yan thought of this, and felt a little unhappy in her heart.

Shaohua was a little speechless, but still asked kindly, "Could it be that I lost it somewhere?" ”

"Hehe, lost? I just saw that the hairpin on the maid's head was my one. Although a pearl is not worth much, but the string was specially selected by my uncle to give it to me, the color and size of my heart I know, even the twisted bead hairpin style is also made by the maid in my house. Now you can go to my house, I still have a box. Shaohua didn't say that it was okay, but when she mentioned it, the anger in her heart was even worse. She didn't suspect Aunt Pang at first, but she was suspicious that she lost it on the road, but she couldn't fall off the local pearl hairpin no matter how much she played in Biwuxuan, and there were two less when she went to Taoyuan. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Xiaohong's eyes, and in a hurry, she pulled off the bead hairpin on her head and hid it in her sleeve, which made it difficult for her not to doubt it.

Hearing Zhou Yan say this, Shaohua couldn't defend anymore, but felt that if Pang Zi was entangled with Aunt Pang again, I was afraid that it would not be her face in the first room, and the entire Li family would have to follow the black pot.

"Why are they here again? What about the lady before? Zhou Yan quickly reined in her anger.

Shaohua saw that her anger was restrained, and she was busy changing the topic, "I heard that Xu is married, this is to replace the previous lady, and I want to marry my second brother." ”

"Marry your second brother?" Seeing Shaohua blinking innocently and nodding, Zhou Yan's tone couldn't help but rise again, "It's really cheeky, when I don't know the virtues of the An Le Hou family." Except for the concubine Qilangjun, their family does not have a good character, especially the youngest Lang Jun of An Lehou, it is said that he went to a continuation and gave birth to a large group of ladies, and rushed to send aunts to the officials. ”

Shaohua turned his face away in embarrassment, and replied in a soft voice: "This lady is the lady of the Langjun of the Anle Hou family." That continuation must be the sister of the third aunt. ”

Zhou Yan instantly held her breath, looked at Shaohua with her eyes, saw that she was a little innocent, and then sneered, "If your third aunt really wants to recruit a lady like this kind of person as her daughter-in-law, she has really ruined your second brother in vain." ”

"I understand this, but this is Taoyuan's business, and we can't interfere." Shaohua looked very helpless, if Pang insisted on it, unless Li Sinian proposed it himself. Otherwise, she is just a passer-by. Tilting his head, he looked at Zhou Yan and fell into deep thought very seriously, and couldn't help but quip: "Why don't Sister Yan come to be my second sister-in-law, in fact, my second brother is a good person, and he is also handsome, and he still bears the name of the four gentlemen in Beijing." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yan suddenly blushed and glared at her shyly. Shaohua learned from her appearance and winked at her ambiguously, Zhou Yan was annoyed, and when she saw Shaohua running away when she saw this, she immediately chased after her, "Bastard, you actually made fun of me, and when I catch you, you have to itch." ”

"Come on, see who's fast." Shaohua was already very confident in his physical strength, and said to Zhou Yan defiantly.

Zhou Yan was an idle lady, so she immediately caught up, and the two of them ran around the yard several times.

Suddenly blocked by a tall figure, she couldn't stand steadily, and hit the other party's chest. The whole bridge of her nose hit her firmly, and all of a sudden, the pain and numbness were so uncomfortable that she couldn't stand up straight. Shaohua turned around and found that something was wrong, startled, and hurriedly ran over.

"Sister Yan, are you okay?" This is not a joke, no matter how good Zhou Yan is with them, she is also the only lady in the Zhongyi Hou Mansion, and a single hair is enough for the Zhongyi Hou Mansion to peel off her skin. "Chuhe, hurry, hurry up and ask for a doctor."

"Don't be busy, it's okay!" Zhou Yan rubbed her nose, took Shaohua's hand, and stood up slowly, a little annoyed by the figure that suddenly appeared. When she looked up, a tall body blocked the sunlight, and she was a little dizzy, only to hear Shaohua weakly shouting "Second Brother". Zhou Yan took a step back, only then did she see the other party's appearance clearly, her handsome facial features and sturdy figure, and when she thought that she had just crashed into his arms, her whole face burned.

"Sister Yan, are you really okay?" Shaohua was so frightened by Zhou Yan's surprise that he couldn't even lose his soul.

"Wu Niang, you let her go in to rest first, I have something to say to you." Li Sinian spoke lowly, not paying attention to Zhou Yan's expression at all.

Shaohua was stunned for a moment, how could she let go of Zhou Yan, but when she looked at Zhou Yan's expression sideways, it didn't seem to be a big deal.

"I'll go into the house first, you guys talk first." Zhou Yan took the initiative to speak, ignored Shaohua, turned around and fled.

Shaohua was baffled by her actions, only to hear Li Sinian suddenly speak: "Wu Niang, did Xiu Niang come to you just now?" Shaohua looked at his serious expression, a little frightened, nodded, Li Sinian seemed to hesitate, thought for a while, and said, "I have something I want to ask you." ”

"Say, what's the matter?" Shaohua is very simple, so that Li Sinian can be so hesitant, I want to have something to do with the little lady in his yard.

"I want you to help make Xiuniang hate me." Li Sinian finally spoke.

Shaohua was stunned for a moment, and smiled, "That's it?" ”

Li Sinian nodded extremely seriously, "I know that my aunt is very embarrassed, so I don't know what to say to Xiuniang, I always alienate her and avoid her, but she still sticks to her." I can't just slap her face, she's also a little lady, in short, you can find a way to make her hate me. Even if you speak ill of me. As long as she hates me, my aunt won't force her. ”

"What if people like your badness?" Shaohua couldn't help laughing and looked at Li Sinian's incredible appearance, "Second brother is not a fool, even if Sister Xiuniang hates you, if Mrs. Xiu really wants her to marry you, can she say no?" If the third aunt can't refuse herself, and you are embarrassed to refuse, do you think anyone else can make the aunt change her mind? ”

Li Sinian was taken aback, he was not good at handling this kind of thing, so he didn't think about it so much. "That's why I'm here to ask you to find a way!" Seeing Shaohua shake his head, he frowned, "I know you are smart, you must have an idea." "Taoyuan is just him, except for thinking of Shaohua, who is still a little friendly, he can't think of anyone else who can help.

"Don't put a high hat on me, I can't stand my small body." Shaohua shook his head resolutely.

Li Sinian thought for a while, "I promise you to take you to see Yan Kaizhi." ”

"Deal!" Shaohua's eyes lit up, and he was obviously relieved when he looked at him, and smiled, "Actually, it's not a difficult thing, as long as the second brother finds a sister-in-law as soon as possible, the aunt won't have anything to say." ”

"It's easy for you to say, such a major marriage event, how can you just look for it." Li Sinian glared at her angrily.

"It's not easy for others, what kind of person is the second brother, the four gentlemen in Beijing." Shaohua threw the top hat back to him, and when he saw that his brows were furrowed again, he had to say: "What I said is true, the second brother is not young, and it is time to start a family." As long as you find a lady with a hard family background, can your aunt still come to the door to find something? The third aunt didn't say that you had to marry Sister Xiuniang. Besides, Sister Xiuniang really wants to enter the door, and she has to pass her grandfather's pass. It's better for you to see a lady yourself, and then ask your grandfather to make the decision for you. ”

Li Sinian thought about it and reluctantly accepted this suggestion, Shaohua immediately struck while the iron was hot and glanced into the room, "Second brother, what do you think of Sister Yan?" ”

Li Sinian was stunned for a moment, the expression on his face was a little awkward, he dropped a sentence, shook his hand and left. "I'll solve this matter myself, and I won't worry about it."
