He Le'an pushed his hand away and said, "Why don't you want to think about who provoked whom first from beginning to end!" ”

Xiao Qi was suffocated, and her tight arms were about to loosen, and her soft and warm touch from her wrist was like a fluffy dog's tail grass, and the itching penetrated into the skin and went straight to the heart, and suddenly he grabbed her free-handedly hand again, and his voice was like a stone sinking into the abyss, and he said hard and forbearingly: "My sister died, and on the day I left the city, I still advised her not to be confused, she obviously agreed, but she still died......

He Le'an's struggling hand was clenched tightly by him and hurt, she could see his knuckled hand with clearly visible green tendons, frowning and saying, "People can't be resurrected after death-"

"If it is Cheng Shumei who dies, can you still be so indifferent!"

"I will be sad, I will investigate, and I will take revenge on the gangsters who killed the little sister, but I will not take the gossip as the truth without any evidence to prove who killed her, and implicate innocent people in resentment!" He Le'an wrinkled his face and said:

"Xiao Qi, the powerful mansion is already an unfathomable big dye vat, not to mention a harem that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, I also feel sorry for such a young life after Xiao Shiyi's death, but how can you selfishly hurt others with the sadness in your heart without evidence or evidence. Don't you think you're going too far! ”

Xiao Qi's hand that grabbed her arm tightened, "You just stand and talk without backache." ”

He Le'an was so stubborn that he was so angry that he was about to squeeze out tears, and gritted his teeth in annoyance: "Not only do I not have back pain when I stand and talk, but I don't have back pain when I sit and talk, I don't have back pain no matter how I speak, you let go of me!" "She just thinks her arm hurts a lot!

Xiao Qi looked at her weak and fragile appearance, and her already uncomfortable heart seemed to be even more uncomfortable, at this time, Xiao Siniang, who came in a hurry, hurriedly said, "Seventh brother! Let go of An An! ”

"Humph!" Xiao Qi snorted coldly and let go of his hand while taking advantage of the situation.

He Le'an hurriedly stayed away from him, pursed his lips and rubbed his arm that was almost broken, Xiao Siniang walked over and said, "An An, are you okay, I'll ask the maid to call me to come over and treat you-"

"She's not a papier-mâché, how can she be like this-"

"Shut up!" Xiao Siniang interrupted Xiao Qi's sneering, glared at him fiercely, and then said to He Le'an, "He has always been a rough bastard, I will definitely teach him a good lesson when I go back, An An, don't worry about him in general, go back first and let me see, don't hurt your muscles and bones." ”

She motioned to Xingyu on the side to help He Le'an leave, and then unceremoniously reprimanded Xiao Qi for not coming.

Xingyu returned to the courtyard and took a look, He Le'an's white arm was bruised for a whole circle, and he said dissatisfiedly: "That Xiao Qigongzi is really excessive, no matter how much the affairs of the capital can't involve Miss, he actually blames you, and the third lady is too, you should let Xiao Qigongzi make amends to you, don't care, how can you erase the damage he inflicted on you!" ”

He Le'an is not uncommon for Xiao Qi to make amends, besides, if something happened to the Xiao family, Xiao Siniang came out of the Xiao family, how can he not be sad, ignore some, it is not strange, no matter how small the place is, he also cares about the terrible words of people, those gossips can penetrate from the capital to Fengzhou City little by little, it is conceivable that someone is trying to kill people with a knife, and wants to take Cheng Shumei's life.

The first thing to bear the brunt of is Wen Yibo's stepfamily and ambitious side branches, she can figure out the twists and turns in this, but the people on the side will only feel that the powerful people are unscrupulously oppressing businessmen in the harem, so that public opinion will also boil to crusade against Cheng Shumei.

"That's it, Xingyu, the third aunt just got married, don't spread these words to make her embarrassed." He Le'an leaned against the carved wooden fence next to the bed, and said softly, "You send someone to send a message to Xu Mansion, and let Young Master Xu pinch the rumors about Sister Mei in the market, especially from Wen Yibo's Mansion, don't make these villains proud." ”

"Yes, miss."

**

He Le'an usually has the habit of taking a nap, and Xiao Qi, who was drowsy just looking at the book, came with a stinky face. threw down a jar of ointment and left, and bluntly threw out a short and vague apology, as if remembering something, he turned around and said: "I am me, the fourth sister is the fourth sister, you are you, and Cheng Shumei is Cheng Shumei!" After speaking, he disappeared like the wind.

Xiao Qi can be regarded as the most said wind and rain among the people she has ever seen, and he is not affectionate and sexual, but there is nothing bad about him, He Le'an has never been a stingy person, seeing that he learned a lesson from Xiao Siniang, forget it, woke up from a nap, Xiao Siniang came over with a snack, and said apologetically: "If it weren't for me, Xiao Qi wouldn't have been able to enter the Hou Mansion, he was so excessive to you, I should apologize." ”

"Our family doesn't have to talk to each other, the third aunt is so restrained that An An is ashamed."

Xiao Siniang admires this concubine who is favored by Mrs. He, but never pampered and arrogant, she knows the world but is not sophisticated, and treats the servants of the Manchu Mansion with kindness and humility, since she married in, she has never been treated coldly intentionally or unintentionally, several times in front of Mrs. He, she also went around for her, she is a really clean and considerate girl, how can it be annoying:

"It's always Xiao Qi who is willful, you don't care that you have a lot of adults."

After a few tugging, the maid sent Xiao Siniang out of the door.

At night, Xu Xie quietly fell from the sky, he was full of strong wine, and with a scorching body temperature, he Le'an, who deliberately posed with disgust, hugged into his arms, "You can't drink, it's good to smell it, it's the first time I participated in the Provincial Chamber of Commerce, and the people in it are all abacus spirits, all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, at this time, I actually started the idea of the Xiao family's industry, and the food is really ugly." ”

Thinking that Xiao Qi came to the Hou Mansion today to do business with Xiao Sixiang, He Le'an smiled and said, "As far as your stomach is full of bad water, they will not be able to eat well, I heard that the provincial chamber of commerce is held this time to discuss the matter of tax increase——"

"The businessmen suffered, earned a lot, paid a lot of taxes, and raised a lot of corruption in the court year after month. But the status of businessmen has not been valued since ancient times, but has been despised, and the powerful really don't make money by themselves, and they don't know how difficult it is to make money. "Xu Xie said, "At every turn, I propose that Your Majesty raise taxes, and our bowl of hot rice has not yet eaten a mouthful, so we have to vomit half of it first, and it is terrible to look at it." "No wonder the Xiao family wants to find another shortcut, but unfortunately there is no shortcut in the world that is easy to take.

He Le'an burst into laughter, "You, a son who grew up in a powerful family since childhood, and who came to stretch out his hands and eat to open his mouth, now you also know that it is not easy to be a businessman." I began to feel sorry for the silver. She also really felt how hard he worked to become a businessman in order to marry him.

"I just feel that someone has robbed my silver for nothing, and I dislike that my silver is not clean enough, so I am a little angry." Xu Xie sighed and said, "Silver is not vulgar, it is greedy people who pretend not to be greedy, they will be put on an ugly coat, disgusting, there are always people who accuse silver of being a bad thing, and at the same time keep stuffing bad things into their pockets, their faces are ugly, and they can't bear to look at it directly, fortunately, you don't have to face these demons and monsters in the future." Just spend your money. ”

"Well, you are responsible for making money to support your family, and I am responsible for being beautiful like a flower."

In mid-September, the Houfu Courtyard gradually began to be busy again, Mrs. He's Xuan Su Curie was beaming, and He Le'an, who was trying on the wedding dress, was judged by them with red cheeks, and Xue Huiyu, who participated in it, said with a smile: "An An wears this very well, and the uneven figure is revealed." ”

"I also think that the sixth sister looks the best in this outfit." He Leyuan took a bite of the pastry and said.

Xiao Siniang echoed, "If it is matched with the ruby head face created by my mother." It will be able to shine in all directions. ”

After a few words and jokes, she finally settled down the phoenix crown, He Le'an was tired and sweaty, and stayed in Xuan Suju to talk for a while, and then she and Xue Huiyu returned to Fuliu Courtyard.

"I really didn't expect Xu Xie to be able to keep this month's pre-wedding gift of not meeting." Xue Huiyu covered her mouth and smiled, and suddenly the corners of her lips pursed slightly, "You can marry a man who puts you in your heart like this, I ...... I was relieved, too. "The cousin of the county king knows it, and he can rest assured, the person he has in mind will be married on the tenth day of October.

He Le'an knew what she wanted to say when she paused, so he smiled lightly: "Yeming really treats me like a jewel. ”

Xue Huiyu couldn't help but laugh. "If he dares to treat you badly, my fist will not let him go."

After dinner in the evening, Xue Huiyu said slowly and softly, "My family affairs have been decided, and I am indeed the son of Prince Xuan." ”

He Le'an raised her lips and wanted to speak, and she said: "My brother said that he is a good person, and he is an only son, but he is not the master of arrogance and trouble on weekdays, I ...... After thinking about it, I also followed my mother, as a child, I shouldn't let my parents worry about those obsessions in my heart. ”

"My aunt asked for a holy decree to give me a marriage, so that I could marry into Beijing in a beautiful way."

"My mother can rest assured that I will marry in the capital, and because I can rely on Prince Qian's mansion in the future, I am not afraid of being bullied by anyone."

She spoke very slowly, every word was finely fragmented, those helpless, listening to He Le'an was painful, especially when she knew that the bamboo horse in her heart had always existed in the world, I saw her laughing, "The old man once dreamed and persuaded me to move forward bravely, although everyone wanted me to forget him, but I knew that I would not forget him, so it was good." ”

At the end of September, the holy decree of marriage arrived, and everyone in the world knew that Miss Yan of the Marquis of Jinning Mansion would marry Prince Xuan next year.

This envy of the good things of others, Xue Huiyu was indifferent, but she was eager for the two cars of gifts that Cheng Shumei specially sent to He Le'an, she looked at the bright red in her eyes and smiled: "Sister Mei's heart is really luxurious, not to mention the entire Fengzhou City now, everyone in the world must know that the richest lady in Fengzhou City is the best friend of Concubine Mei, take it apart and take a look, what are they!! ”

"Which one you fancy is unpacked, and it's given to you." He Le'an couldn't stop laughing.

Xue Huiyu's laughter was like a galloping mustang, "I won't be polite to you~"

**

On the first day of October, He Leyuan and He Lexuan, who came back from the study, took He Le'an out of the house.

He Leyuan said with a smile: "My brother and I have thought about it, and the gift should be given to the sixth sister who likes it, which is more festive." That's it, I want to take He Le'an out with me and go to those jewelry and jade stores to pick and choose.

"I'm happy with whatever you give, and I don't have to break the bank." He Le'an said with a smile.

He Lexuan said, "I know you don't care about this, but getting married is different from usual, don't be polite to us." ”

Walking around and buying a bunch of them, He Le'an really felt that it was enough. He Leyuan blinked and said, "Sixth sister, don't worry, our wallets are bulging, and our father and mother have added one, so this trip is as enjoyable as possible." ”

Tired of swaying, he entered a teahouse to rest, but his overflowing happiness was temporarily frozen by a cold snort that deliberately found fault.

Cheng Sandao, who went out with a few little sisters, "Isn't this the flower fairy praised by the city, you are happy, poor Zhuo Yibo's mansion was harmed by you to such a field!" ”

He Le'an frowned, only to hear He Leyuan sneer: "Heh, I, He Jiu, have been crawling around the shop so far." I've never seen a ruffian hooligan who doesn't want to touch porcelain and ask for money, I've never seen a shameless person like you who can't see others well, and wants to come over and add a mess, what do you call my sixth sister harmful, this city knows what the situation of Zhuo Yibo's Mansion is, you slander others, and slander it to a higher level! ”

"Just a maid, who rarely slanders her!" Cheng San sneered, "He Liu, your heart is really black and poisonous, and you don't feel guilty at all for harming so many people." I'm really not afraid that after the He clan is executed, I will seek revenge on you-"

"She is to blame, she can't live for her own iniquity, what am I afraid of, if she dares to come, I dare to scatter her soul, so that she can no longer bite me and let go, I will spare her again and again, and I will not care about her." He Le'an interrupted coldly:

"But she went on and over and over again, and I delivered her to the law. It wasn't me who was sentenced, she hurt so many concubines at the beginning, and I didn't force her, if you want to fight for her, why don't you kneel down to the mansion, isn't it bullying me to bully! It's not a white lotus, in front of everyone, what are you pretending to be noble and flawless! ”

He Leyuan resisted the impulse to applaud He Le'an, and exposed the angry Cheng Sandao: "If you had the heart, you wouldn't have never been to the prison to see the He family and Shao Yingxiu once, and when the powerful talked about their mother and daughter at the banquet, didn't you also hurry to clear up the relationship." In public, I played a deep sisterhood, what, do you want to deceive the masses like this, do you really think that the masses are stupid! ”

"Other people's acting is a full set, you are good enough, you have one set in front of the powerful, one set in front of the masses, such neat acting skills, why don't you go to be a drama on the stage!"

"You! You guys! Cheng San was so angry with them that his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were trembling, and he stood up and pounced on the nearest He Leyuan, but unfortunately he was blocked by He Lexuan before he could touch He Leyuan, but everyone underestimated her cheekiness. He suddenly cried and said, "Wow, this man is insulting me!" ”

He Le'an rolled his eyes and squinted at the little sisters behind her, "You can see clearly, my brother hasn't touched her at all, such a shameless person, are you sure you want to have a relationship with her~"

The women who were walking with Cheng San looked at each other, and gradually showed their disgust, and they all began to relieve He Lexuan, so angry that Cheng San almost broke her skin, and she glared at He Le'an hatefully. "You see, she's such a witch that even my friends have been bewitched by her! I just saw that her eyes are red and green, she must have been transformed by a fox, and she came to harm people! ”

He Le'an didn't bother to pay attention to her crazy words, and pulled He Lexuan and He Lexuan to go downstairs, but Cheng Sanevil was born to the guts, and deliberately pulled the pearl and jade bracelet on his wrist, so that He Leyuan inadvertently stepped on it and fell out of the stairs, because He Le'an grabbed her with one hand and He Lexuan with the other, and the three of them rolled down the stairs together-

“！” In a hurry, a dark smoke intercepted the three of them.

In a panic, He Lexuan, who had already grabbed the handrail, turned around. Seeing Xue Shizi pick up He Le'an and He Leyuan, who were almost unsteady, he breathed a sigh of relief, and He Leyuan was already angry and looked at Cheng Sandao who was on the stairs with a regretful face:

"I think the most vicious, terrible and cruel person in the world is you Cheng Mary, I, I-" She changed the swear words that were still restrained under her anger, "I wish you a long life, and the years will be today, and the dynasty is a boudoir girl!! ”

In the laughter that erupted after being stunned around her, Mary Cheng blushed and blue, blue and black, "You cursed me for not being able to marry for the rest of my life, you-"

"I just hope that you will stay young, but you think that you will not be able to marry for the rest of your life, but don't blame me!" He Leyuan snorted coldly: "Everyone is watching, you surnamed Cheng, don't change your surname to Lai easily, lose the face of Wen Yibo's mansion!" ”

She didn't want to ignore Cheng Mary anymore, but Cheng Mary would not let her go easily, and rushed down at her angrily, but a tragic thing happened - she accidentally stepped on the jade beads she sprinkled, lost control and fell down the stairs in panic, and she didn't have time to call for help, so she rolled down the inverted figure-seven stairs in the avoidance of He Le'an, and spread it at the staircase in a funny dog eating!

After the onlookers were surprised, they couldn't help but burst into a flood of laughter, but Cheng Mary fainted in the hatred of the heart, He Lexuan looked at He Le'an and then at He Leyuan, and then at Xue Shizi, before he could say anything, he heard Xue Shizi innocently say: "I know martial arts, I can indeed save her, but she can slander others in front of everyone's eyes, I was afraid that I touched her, so she said that I deliberately made her fall, I ...... Can't afford to take such a risk. ”

"......" made a lot of sense, and He Lexuan was speechless and very understanding.

Although the women who went out with Mary Cheng were unwilling to take the embarrassed Mary Cheng back, after all, they went out together, and no matter how disgusted they were, they had to send people back.

On the lively street, He Leyuan asked Xue Shizi how he could be in the teahouse by such a coincidence, Xue Shizi smiled: "When I met an acquaintance, I went in and sat together, but I didn't expect it to be you." ”

He Leyuan remembered that Mary Cheng was capitalized disgusted, and exaggeratedly sniffed He Le'an next to her. Snorted and said: "The sixth sister doesn't have the taste of cooked meat and bones, how can she bite everywhere, I feel more and more that the hearts of the magnates in Fengzhou City are smaller than needles, and all the daughters who should be generous and decent are self-righteous and put their jealousy on the surface, and they don't feel ashamed, but they can't wait for the world to know!" ”

"They themselves are not kind, they blame others for being kind, they are not good-looking, they still complain that others are good-looking, they have time to envy, jealousy and hatred or something, how do they not know how to reflect on themselves, is it because I grew up in the community. So I don't understand! ”

He Le'an was amused by her small remarks, "Everyone's desire is different, they want to hate and resent, so it is better to hate and resent, I will insist on doing what I think is right, so I don't care about their opinions, thoughts or statements." ”

Xue Shizi looked at her as if she would glow, and a smile from his heart bloomed on his lips, but he said with a cynical look, "You are about to get married, so it's not good to be so public." I don't know why, when I said this, I felt a little lost.

He Le'an said paradoxically. "It seems that too, oh, I'm going to be a walking silver ticket in the future, in case I'm kidnapped-"

"Bah, what nonsense is the sixth sister talking about!" He Leyuan interrupted speechlessly, "You are auspicious!" God willing!! ”

In the midst of heartless laughter and laughter, Xue Shizi sent them back to the Hou Mansion by the way.

In the evening of the next day, He Le'an received a gift from Xue Huiyu and given to her by Xue Shizi, which was a very delicate slap box made of pure gold. “……”

Xue Huiyu, who rummaged through the silver tickets several times, said with a complicated expression: "My brother is really a real man. ”

He Le'an laughed, "...... Truly. ”

Speaking of her brother, Xue Huiyu suddenly remembered something, and said: "The news from the capital of my aunt said that His Majesty intends to give my brother a princess to marry, but it is almost the age of marriage or has reached the age of marriage, only those few are notoriously rude and willful, and the aunt is the master of the elder brother's refusal, fortunately, Prince Qian's mansion has some weight, otherwise the Marquis of Jinning's mansion will suffer." ”

said some miscellaneous things bits and pieces, and Xue Huiyu left after dinner.

Early morning on the ninth day of the new year. He Le'an received a wooden box the size of a medicine box brought in by the maid, and when he opened it, it was full of old and valuable recipes, and in the face of her doubts, the maid also said with a confused face:

"The maid didn't know the specifics, the little guy guarding the door said that it was sent by a young man who looked very white, and asked the government doctor to check it and confirm that there was no suspicion before bringing it over to the Willow Courtyard."

He Le'an inexplicably thought of the little prince of the Governor's Mansion, but after thinking about it, if he sent it, he shouldn't leave his name, the Governor's Mansion and Uncle He San's friendship are getting better and better, she will also invite the Governor's Mansion for tomorrow's wedding banquet, and she has the heart to send such a valuable gift, and she should leave a message for her to thank her, "It's nothing, you go down-"

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. He came down with the support of He Leyuan and He Lexuan, and Xiao Siniang next to her, and groups of maids and servants carrying things behind her, He Le'an knew that tomorrow's wedding was going to be 'officially prepared' from today, thinking that she would be able to see Xu Xie soon, her heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate......
