Chapter 42: The White Lotus

Xie Shi also pretended not to understand, turned his gaze to Li Miao and Li Juan, and said apologetically, "I didn't know that you were coming, so I hurriedly cleaned up the guest courtyard in the outer courtyard, so I had to wronged you first." ”

Where is there a reason for the female dependents who have not left the cabinet to live in the outer courtyard.

This is almost not clearly said, "It's good to go, don't send it".

Li Miao's face was embarrassed when she heard this, and she secretly pulled Li Juan, who seemed to be about to speak, and only looked at Mrs. Liu with an embarrassed look.

Mrs. Liu straightened her waist and said, "Where can I clean up another place!" The old lady can say, please take care of Miss Miao and Miss Juan is already causing you trouble, and I don't dare to bother you anymore when I enter the Li Mansion to live, this is not Aunt Shu's grandmother just got married, so let them live in the West Cross Courtyard where Aunt Shu lived before leaving the pavilion, close to you, and it is good to serve and listen to training in front of you. ”

Xie's face turned cold.

Although Li Shu is a concubine, she has been raised by her side since she was a child, and she was remembered as a concubine early on.

Still unashamedly want to occupy the magpie's nest?

But all the little things related to Li Shu and Li Yingge are all Xie's backscales.

Mrs. Liu didn't know that she had said the wrong thing, for fear that the Xie family would not agree, and sighed, "You and the fourth master have not returned to Li County for many years, but the wedding gifts in the clan must come every time." You should know that there are three heads of the clan, and those who marry marry are married, and now there are Miss Miao and Miss Juan left. When Miss Miao first reached the age of discussing relatives, many people came to explore the situation.

The old lady didn't like it, and she didn't like it, and she thought about it, in the past, the marriage in the clan was not in time, but now the fourth master is doing a steady job as a pavilion elder in Beijing, and she should choose a good family for Miss Miao.

When the third master and the third lady heard this, they begged the old lady to bring Miss Juan with them. The old lady couldn't bear to separate the little sisters Miss Miao and Miss Juan, thinking that they were all members of their own family, one was to help the other and the other was also to help, did you say that this is the reason? ”

As he spoke, he beckoned the maids waiting outside and motioned to them, "This is the spring flowers and autumn moon around Miss Miao, and this is the summer rain and winter snow around Miss Juan." Why don't you kowtow to the third lady? ”

The four maidens bowed down in unison.

Xie Shi didn't scream either, he looked at Li Miao and Li Juan, who were silent with their heads bowed without a smile, and glanced at Yang's mother.

Mother Yang held Mrs. Liu and said, "The old sister came from afar, come with me to have some refreshments, and take a rest." ”

Where Mrs. Liu is willing to go, I don't know how Mother Yang is ingenious, so she half-pushed and half-pushed Mrs. Liu out of the door.

Here, the big girls of the Xie family stepped forward, smiled or helped or led, and "invited" the spring flowers and autumn moons, summer rain and winter snow that had not reacted to the door, and went to the side to talk.

Only Xie Shi, Li Miao, and Li Juan were left in the house.

Xie Shi was impatient to play with the juniors, and said straightly, "Listen to Mrs. Liu, is the old lady planning to let you live in Beijing for a long time?" This Mrs. Liu is not shy about it, and she dares to choose someone in front of you. Are you the master's lady, and you are at the mercy of others like this? ”

The embarrassment on Li Miao's face was even worse, and when she heard this, she bit her lip tightly, and suddenly said in a trembling voice, "Fourth uncle, please save my life and my sister's life!" ”

Xie Shi Daqi, "Who wants to kill you?!" ”

"......" The tears in Li Miao's eyes suddenly choked back, and the rest of the words were stuck in her throat.

"Fourth uncle, what my sister means is that if you refuse to take us in, we will be scolded to death when we turn back." Li Juan, who looked ignorant, stepped forward timidly, pulled Xie's cuffs and whispered, "If grandmother knows that we can't stay, first, she won't give us a good face, and second, she won't let my mother feel better." My mother is in a bad mood, and our aunt doesn't want to have a good life. ”

Li Miao's tears fell when she heard this, and she sobbed, "Fourth uncle, don't blame your sister for not being able to speak. It's just that...... We can't help ourselves, we can't be the master in small things, and we can only listen to our elders in big things. If you are willing to take in our sisters, we will repay you for your upbringing in in the future. ”

Don't say it if you know you shouldn't say it!

Liu pressed her with filial piety and righteousness, and Li Miao took the bitter route and talked about the identity of the unfavored concubine.

Xie Shi even scolded Li Yingge for crying, and he didn't have a good face at Li Miao, "Your little life is still there, don't howl and mourn." ”

Li Miao and Li Juan were stunned.

The first time they had direct contact with the Xie family, they didn't expect the Xie family to be like this.

What about the good Beijing lady pie?

Li Miao choked with tears, and Li Juan was stunned, "Fourth uncle, don't be angry. Before I came, my mother also explained to me, saying that I am young, even if I can't serve you well, I can still play with Yingge. You can just leave us. ”

She clutched Xie's cuffs tightly, timid and afraid, and spoke humbly and ignorantly.

Li Juan is one year older than Li Yingge.

Xie suddenly discovered that compared to Li Juan, even if her daughter was stupid before, she was not so stupid as to be so unappetizing.

Sure enough, it is the tutor who determines the character, not the IQ.

Xie endured it and didn't throw off his sleeves.

The little maid guarding the door reported loudly, "The second lady is here." ”

In the past few days, Li Yingge has been preparing the costumes to enter the palace, and Xie's mother is staring at the people in the needlework and jewelry shop, and every time she makes progress, she has to come to give Xie a look.

Li Yingge reported on time and bumped into someone from the clan.

She was about to say goodbye to Xie Shi, but her little hand was grabbed.

Li Miao's white and slender hands tightly supported Li Yingge, and said with a slight smile, "Yingge doesn't know me, I'm your third uncle's cousin, if you want, you can call me Sister Sheng, otherwise you can call me Miao'er." ”

Li Yingge was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Li Miaolai.

Li Miaogang is thirteen years old, it is the age when she is ready to let go, with thin eyebrows, apricot eyes, a small nose and a small mouth, wearing a moon-white brocade jacket, a horse-faced skirt of the same color, pinching a small waist that is unbearable, showing the posture of a weak willow supporting the wind, and a slender figure with soft words and gentle demeanor, it is really delicate and weak.

It's just that on this windy and snowy day, Li Miao was dressed in a thin moon white cold color, and she felt so cold when she looked at it!

Li Yingge shook.

Li Miao suddenly burst into tears silently, took Li Yingge's hand to her heart, and choked up, "My hard-working Yingge, I heard that you were sad and sick for Sister Shu'er to leave the cabinet before?" Now it's all good? Good Yingge, pitiful. ”

Li Yingge blinked.

Li Miao raised her sleeves to cover her mouth, laughing with tears, "Yingge smiled, I feel the same way, I heard that you and Sister Shu'er have such a good relationship, it is inevitable to think of me and my sister herself." ”

Li Yingge blinked again.

She tacitly calculated her age, and knew that the lady in front of her should be a young lady who had not left the cabinet in the third room.

But no matter how much the concubine is also from the Li family in Li County, how did he develop such a white lotus style?

If she and Li Shu dared to cry before speaking, they would have to be beaten by Xie's fat.

Li Yingge quietly withdrew his hand and turned his head to look at Xie.
