Chapter 43: There is a picture
Xie Shi said lightly, "These are the two cousins of your third uncle's family. Sister Miao is six years older than you, Sister Juan is one year older than you, you shout Cousin Miao, Cousin Juan. ”
Li Yingge saluted in turn, and was about to stand up straight after the ceremony, when he felt that his scalp was tight, and his hair was dragged into Li Juan's hand.
"Yingge, your pearl flower is so beautiful." Li Juan touched the beads on the tail of the braid, and said in amazement and envy, "I only see my grandmother wear such good beads." Your string of seven or eight is so delicate, can I take a look? ”
Saying that, he went to untie the bead flower, and said excitedly, "Is it fashionable to comb braids in Beijing?" Then I will also learn from you to comb your braids and tie such beaded flowers, which looks better than ordinary hairstyles. ”
She is different from the slender Li Miao, she is born round and delicate, wearing a pleasing pink dress, and she is timid but not cowardly when talking to people, looking innocent and ignorant.
Li Yingge smiled slightly.
is also self-cooked, Xiao Hanqian is much taller than Li Juan.
In her eyes, Li Juan is an impudent bear child.
Although she is a pseudo-Lori, she has no interest in competing with Li Juan to be an ignorant child.
Li Yingge pressed Li Juan's hand, broke her fingers one by one, and pretended to be surprised, "Cousin Juan just looks at it, why do you still move?" What kind of rule is this? You know, only if you don't treat yourself as an outsider, and if you don't know, you are so uneducated when you come out of the clan. Fortunately, this is in front of me, if outsiders see it, it will only be a narrow family of Li County. ”
After speaking, he stroked his braids and said distressedly, "It doesn't matter if you haven't seen the world, it's better to use your mouth and hands less if you don't have rules." If you want beads, you can buy them yourself, but my things are not something you can move. ”
Li Juan was stunned at a loss.
Li Miao hugged her sister distressedly, looked at Xie and said aggrievedly, "Fourth uncle, how can Yingge say this about Juan'er?" Juan'er had never seen such a beautiful thing, so she couldn't help but say a few more words, not to ask for something......"
Doesn't Lee Yingge want to talk about rules?
Li Miao wanted to ask, which family has the rules of being a cousin to teach her cousin a lesson, and even scolded the Li family in Li County.
Hsieh was noncommittal.
Mother Xie sneered, turned the clothes box and jewelry box she was holding, and said condescendingly, "So that Miss Miao knows that there is a national gift before this ceremony." What is the identity of our Ying Ge'er, the material of this dress was given by His Royal Highness King Qian, and the appearance of the jewelry was sent by His Royal Highness King Qian. It is this pair of bead flowers, and it is also one of the New Year's gifts given by His Royal Highness King Qianwang, how can any cat or dog think about it. ”
Li Juan's eyes widened with curiosity.
Li Miao's face was slightly red when she was stabbed, but she didn't answer Mother Xie's words, she only looked at Xie Shi and said with tears, "Grandmother also explained to us before she came, and she must carefully ask about the assassination of His Royal Highness King Qian." When I entered the city just now, I heard that His Royal Highness had gone out of the house on an errand, and it happened that my grandmother had prepared a cart of medicinal herbs. ”
Even Li Zichang has to avoid suspicion, where did Liu get such a big face.
Xie Shi sneered in his heart, waved his hand and said, "I will discuss the matter of His Royal Highness King Qianwang with the old lady and send a letter to the old lady." You don't have to worry about it. ”
It was the niece who came, not the nephew, so the Xie family naturally had to treat it differently.
She served tea to the guests.
Li Miao realized that Mother Yang had returned to the house at some point, and was raising the curtain to see off the guests.
But Mrs. Liu was nowhere to be seen.
Li Miao was uneasy, put away the blessing of tears, and took Li Juan to retire, anxious to find Mrs. Liu.
Mother Yang in the house said, "I can't ask anything useful." Mrs. Liu tossed and turned, and only said that she was entrusted by the old lady to hand over the family affairs of Miss Miao and Miss Juan to you and the master. The four maids in spring, summer, autumn and winter are useless to look at, and they will only talk about some bad times in the third room.
Mrs. Liu was ordered by the old lady to stay and take care of Miss Miao and Miss Juan, and she didn't plan to leave. I thought about it, so I dialed the Seifu-in Temple for them to live in. ”
Qingfeng Courtyard is in the west corner of Li Mansion, it is a small and remote courtyard that is empty and locked, and Mother Yang directly sent Mrs. Liu to take someone to clean it up.
Xie Shi said that it was impossible for people to really live in the outer courtyard.
Yang's mother said, "You don't want to keep them, I have my own way to send them away." ”
She has learned a lot of medical skills, she can take care of Li Yingge, and she can also harm people with minor illnesses and pains.
Xie Shi smiled, "Don't dirty your hands, it's self-surrendering to worry about them." The old lady didn't say a word when she said hello, and sent people to the door in a hurry, isn't it just the idea of not leaving? The old lady can't handle me now, thinking that it would be good to be disgusting and disgusting.
Although the lord doesn't look down on the clan, he still wants a reputation outside. That Mrs. Liu is used to ripping off, if she doesn't care about it, it will be the Li Mansion who will be embarrassed when she turns back, and it will be me who is in trouble. ”
She flipped through the clothes and jewelry sent by her mother, and said casually, "Let them stay in Qingfeng Courtyard, since the people have been delivered to me, it will not be the turn of the old lady to call the shots in the future." The house also has to give porridge to the outside twice a year, and there is no shortage of food for them. ”
Yang's mother went to do it herself.
Mother Xie put away the clothes box and jewelry box, "Look at it, this dress and jewelry are so decided?" It happened that one set was worn by Brother Ying to enter the palace, and one set was carried with spare. ”
Xie nodded, pulled Li Yingge and said, "You did a good job just now." But in the end, they are cousins, and they must not look up and look down in the future, just don't be wrong in the rules. ”
Li Yingge smiled obediently, "I just act according to etiquette." ”
Xie squinted and smiled.
In Qingfeng Courtyard, Mrs. Liu also squinted, "So, you still see Miss Yinger?" Is it all going well? ”
Li Miao pinched Juanpa and pressed the corners of her eyes, and said vaguely, "The fourth uncle and sister Yingge are very good, and the fourth uncle and aunt also gave me and Juan'er a meeting gift." ”
Mrs. Liu pouted secretly.
She is the housekeeper mother of the old lady Liu's courtyard, and she can't look down on Li Miao and Li Juan's background and style.
One is cowardly, the other is ignorant, and he is not as decent as the maid next to Liu.
She was about to continue to ask, when she heard Li Miao whisper and said hurriedly, "The fourth uncle didn't agree to let us visit His Royal Highness King Qian, so my mother should go to the mansion first to see if we can find out the news outside." ”
All the way to Beijing, the news lags behind.
Mrs. Liu slapped her forehead, didn't salute, and went out by herself with her skirt.
Li Miao snorted coldly, and the anxiety and cowardice on his face were swept away.
Li Juan, who had been looking at the furnishings in the house, also put away her curiosity, relaxed her back and leaned into the back of the chair, and pouted, "The noisy woman is finally gone." ”
As he spoke, he took out the greeting gift given by the Xie family, checked the gold coin inside, and said happily, "I didn't suffer from the cold face of the fourth uncle and aunt in vain, this greeting gift can top our monthly silver for half a year." ”
