Before evening, the people sent by the Shilang Mansion arrived.

After Wen Yi learned the news from Yahuan, when she rushed to the main house, Mrs. Li was chatting with Mama Gu without saying a word: "Your wife is really polite, there are still a lot of specialties left from the last time, so I will send them over again." On a cold day, the hard-working mother specially walked this way. ”

Mama Gu stood respectfully on the ground and was about to reply, but Mrs. Li had already turned around and instructed her girl: "Put these away, didn't Lin Qianhu's wife say that she was thinking about eating this last time?" I took a box and sent it over. Give the two pots of plum that she got yesterday to Mother Gu and ask her to take them back to Mrs. Jiang, which is considered a return gift. ”

Mama Gu was overjoyed and was about to thank her master, but Mrs. Li had already seen Wen Yi: "Miss Yi is here?" Come in, the elders of your clan specially sent a mother to see you, and said that they would take you back, but in fact, why bother? You're living well here, what are you doing so fast? Could it be that Mrs. Gu thinks our family is lowly and can't afford to greet her distant niece? ”

Mama Gu was sweating profusely when she heard this, and was about to say a few words of defense, Wen Yi had already walked up and said with a smile: "Aunt Cousin is too careful, the eldest aunt of the long house is just worried that I will cause trouble for you if I live here." She had good intentions, but she didn't know that my cousin was asking me to stay and talk to you more, so please don't be surprised, just look at my niece's face. ”

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Mrs. Li's eyes, and she mixed up the topic with a smile, but asked Wen Yi if she had all the things she wanted to bring when she went out the day after tomorrow, and said that she planned to send several family members to wait with the car, and asked Wen Yi to take care of Li Chunxi more in the future. Wen Yi responded one by one and was very close to her.

Mama Gu saw it in her eyes, it was very unpleasant, but she couldn't interject from beginning to end, what could she do? I had to think that I was unlucky, thinking that Miss Nine would always have a few words with her alone when she saw that she was coming, and then she could convey the meaning of the old lady and the eldest lady clearly. It's just that to her surprise, Wen Yi actually asked her in front of Mrs. Li if she had anything else to convey, how could she say it in front of the Li family? Hesitantly, she had to say no, and before she could add a sentence "Mrs. has a few words to tell Miss Nine", Mrs. Li had already issued an eviction order. She had no choice but to walk away.

Wen Yi looked at Mama Gu's back in the distance, and only felt very relieved. Mrs. Li snorted the melon seeds with a smile and said, "It seems that your clansmen are also starting to get anxious, have they listened to the rumors outside, or are they thinking too much?" ”

Wen Yi said with a smile: "I'm just an ordinary girl, that is, by coincidence, I met a few friends, and I took my cousins to go to someone's house to play, that is, my cousin was promoted, and it was also because he was loyal to the king, had a good character, and was appreciated by the saints, what does it have to do with me?" With the qualifications of the eldest uncle, there will never be such a misunderstanding, but if the eldest aunt cares about it, it will be chaotic, and it will be wrong for a while. ”

Mrs. Li smiled slightly: "I have also heard that Gu Shilang's wife is a loving mother and is the most pampered to her children. It is said that in addition to the internal relations with several family members on weekdays, she rarely makes friends with people, and it is not surprising that she will think about it, after all, mother and daughter are connected. Miss Gu Jialiu got along very closely with Dongping Wang Shizi at the Luwangfu Tea Party, but afterwards there were rumors that Dongping Wang Shizi intended to marry other ladies. It's just that the old lady's behavior makes people a little confused. It stands to reason that your family affairs have not hindered her in anything, I have already inquired about who the person who wants to marry the Liu family is, and I have gone to talk, it just so happened that the male owner of the family was on an errand under our master, but after two days of work, I heard that I have found another good family for my daughter. In this case, there is no obstacle to your marriage with Liu Shangshu's nephew, why does the old lady of the Shilang Mansion refuse to let go? ”

Wen Yi sneered and lowered her eyes: "I probably think I'm too bold and not deferential enough, right?" "Changfang has been the master of the Gu clan for a long time, even if the old lady Yu has been through the world, she said that she should keep a low profile, and she can't let the clansmen seize the handle again, but once you meet a junior who dares to touch the tiger's beard, it is inevitable that she will be angry. Doesn't she just want to bow her head and obey? What if you don't bow your head? Could it be that only the people in the long house can book a family affair for themselves?

She looked up at Mrs. Li: "Cousin, are you really going to Liu's house?" "Mrs. Li once mentioned that she would personally go to Liu's house to talk to the third aunt about her marriage with Liu Dongxing, so as to save herself from procrastination through the long house. As her cousin and cousin, she can be regarded as a maternal relative, so she can come out of this.

"Go, why don't you go?" Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows, "I still want to take your godmother with me, you are alone in the capital, the clansmen don't stand out for you, those of us who are elders, of course we can't stand by and watch I am your mother's family, the Liu family bullied my niece and daughter, and you still want me to swallow my anger?" If his family doesn't give a satisfactory answer, I won't finish with them, "Although she is good-natured, it doesn't mean that she has to endure everything." Now she is also a second-class fate, enough to be on an equal footing with Liu Shangshu's wife, even if the Liu family is a prestigious family, her Lu family is not a small family, and the Gu family is not something that the Liu family can despise, this time the Liu family must give an explanation

Thinking that her current second-grade destiny can be regarded as a blessing indirectly brought by Wen Yi, she feels even more sorry for this niece, not to mention that the seventh aunt, Mrs. Lu, has also been very kind to her parents. In any case, she also wants to get justice for her niece

Mrs. Li made up her mind, so she discussed with Wen Yi how to talk when she went to Liu's house, and asked Wen Yi and Liu Dongxing about the details of this family affair one by one. Wen Yi was just embarrassed to say that she and Liu Dongxing had known each other for a long time, but there was nothing ambiguous about Liu Gu's proposal that day, and after she explained them one by one, Mrs. Li had already figured out how to deal with it. On the second day, she posted again and invited Mrs. Luo Si over, and the two discussed for a long time.

On the day when the two wives went out to Liu's house, it was the day when Wen Yi and Li Chunxi were invited to play at the Cha family's farm on the outskirts of the northern suburbs of the city. Mrs. Li thinks that the three children going out of the city at this time can just avoid suspicion, saving the Gu Liu family from having any demon moths. So Wen Yi and Li Chunxi got into the carriage, and under the escort of Li Dongrui and a group of male and female servants of the Li family, they went to Chafu, but they were only halfway to meet the person sent by the Cha family to guide the way, so under the guidance of that person, they went to the city gate to meet Cha Yue and others, and then went out of the city together.

The Zhuangzi of the Cha family is in a valley, because it is located on a hot spring, so a large courtyard with three entrances was specially built for the master's family to come to avoid the cold in winter. At present, General Cha is leading the army, Mrs. Cha does not like to move, and the juniors of the Cha family do not often come to stay, so even if the Cha family sent someone to clean up and tidy up early, and burned the earth dragon, the house is still a little cold. As soon as Zha Yue entered the door, he hurriedly sent people to arrange a room where everyone rested, and asked people to serve hot tea and snacks.

As soon as Long Lingcai sat down, he was a little eager to try: "When I entered Zhuangzi, I saw that the valley was so green and seemed to be warmer than other places, why don't we go into the valley and play?" ”

Ruan Mengxin and the others were also a little moved, but Zha Yue rolled his eyes: "What are you busy with?" After two hours' journey, aren't you hungry? After eating, I said that I had to inform the head of the village early on, and asked him to clean up two tables of clean game, didn't you see the sky and say that the venison was fragrant at whose house that time? Let's get a taste of how our family is doing. ”

Li Chunxi smiled when he heard this: "In this weather, there is still game in the mountains?" ”

"It's raised in Zhuangzi, right?" Ruan Mengxuan said, "My Zhuangzi will also send live deer every year, but it can't be compared with the wild ones, it's just a wild idea." ”

Zha Yue was stunned and said curtly: "It doesn't matter if they hunt it or raise it at home, as long as there is venison to eat." In order to get rid of the embarrassment, she hurriedly greeted Li Dongrui again, "Little brother of the Li family, as soon as you come back for the first time, remember to eat two more pieces and ask someone to prepare good wine."

Li Dongrui touched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Sister Cha, if you just eat venison." Just now, my chief instructed me not to drink deer blood wine."

Zha Yue was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red, and he stomped his feet and said: "Stinky boy, no wonder he has a playboy face, he doesn't learn well at a young age" He turned around and ran away.

Li Dongrui was scolded inexplicably: "What's wrong with Sister Cha's sister?" "He's just telling the truth, not to mention that although he looks like this, he hasn't done anything bad......

Ruan Mengxin and Li Chunxi didn't know why, Ruan Mengxuan played a round to appease Li Dongrui, but Long Ling secretly laughed on the side. Wen Yi's face was a little strange, and he vaguely remembered that the deer blood wine seemed to be aphrodisiac......

Since you are a guest, how can you do without the host? Long Ling finally pulled Zha Yue back, but he heard a commotion outside the village, Zha Yue ordered someone to inquire, and the daughter-in-law whispered in her ear after she came back, and she showed a strange look on her face.

Ruan Mengxuan asked, "What's wrong with you?" But what happened? ”

"It's fine." Cha Yue's face was still strange, but he didn't look anxious, "It's just an uninvited guest." Really, I went out early today, and I didn't let you come to my house, just to get rid of him, and I didn't want him to come by himself."

Long Ling heard it strangely: "Who is coming?" How do you say that? ”

"Which one avoided him?" Zha Yue pouted, "It's just that I'm impatient to pay attention to it, you know, I have an aunt above me, who married into King Kang's Mansion in the past and was a side concubine for a few years." When Princess Xiantoukang died, because of the young age of the son, I asked my aunt to take care of him for two years, and our family had to treat the prince as a relative. It's just that my aunt has died a long time ago, and that son is always messing around, where do we have the heart to pay attention to him? He was still a little blind and didn't come to trouble us, but recently, somehow, he actually sent two times of clothes and snacks to our house. I heard that we were going to play outside the city, and I was clamoring to come with my mother, so I could only explain to him that I invited all girls, and it was inconvenient for him to come. He didn't say anything, and he didn't know where he found out that we were out of the city today, and that there were men there, so he sent for us early in the morning to wait for him. I'm afraid that he will really follow, so I will send someone to guide you, so that you don't know about it, so that he will block it. ”

Wen Yi heard that it was the prince of King Kang, so he couldn't help but recall that when he was on the Zhuangzi in Pingyin that year, he heard about the prince of King Kang helping the spirit to pass by, and hurriedly asked: "He is the prince of the vassal king, and he clearly said that he wants to play together, if you leave him and run away, aren't you afraid that he will blame?" ”

Zha Yue smiled: "What's so scary about this? He's just a toothless tiger, who can take him seriously? That is, the emperor and the queen pity him for having no parents at a young age, so they will raise him in the palace and pamper him in every way. It's just that he was born a dou who can't be supported, he can't read, he can't see martial arts, he still likes to mess around, and he is so angry that he can't cry or laugh, if not, how can he not inherit the prince? Now that the palace also knows his true nature, even if he makes a fuss, he won't really blame him. I'll leave him today, it's a big deal to let him make a noise at my house, and then the queen will let him come to the door to make amends, and I won't eat any loss, you just have to rest assured"

Wen Yi was surprised to hear it, even if he was just a prince and had not yet inherited the prince, he was still a nobleman of the clan, and he would be ignored to this point, how "nonsense" was he?

But everyone has arrived at the door, even if Zha Yue is not happy in his heart, he can't leave people alone. She had no choice but to ask the head of the village to bring a few people over to wait, and also asked someone to clean up a "small courtyard where people can be seen" for the prince and his party to rest, and then beckoned her friends to look at the few good horses that her brothers had collected in the village.

It was Ruan Mengxin who persuaded her: "Even if the prince is no longer in the climate, don't be too out of line, the palace knows, although he won't say anything about you, he will inevitably complain about you in his heart." It's a relative, so you can let him go for a while. Seeing that Zha Yue was bored and didn't speak, she said to Li Chunxi again: "Sister of the Li family, we are all girls, although your little brother is young, it is not interesting to be alone, why don't you let him go and talk to that prince?" Don't worry, although that prince is messing around, he can't talk better, and others will be optimistic and won't let him bully your brother. ”

Li Dongrui heard her mention herself, and hurriedly said: "I don't care, it's also interesting here." But I heard my sister say, "Then let him go, he's messing around in front of him anyway." He immediately lowered his face: "Sister, why do you say that......" Li Chunxi glanced at him coldly: "What?" It's full of girls, and you'd rather stay here? Want to be a dude? Li Dongrui gave a cold war: "No...... I'm going to ...... "Obediently follow the people on the Zhuangzi of the Cha family to meet the prince of King Kang."

Wen Yi looked funny, but seeing that the Cha family and Li Chunxi were so calm, she temporarily put her mind at ease, went to watch the horses with everyone, and then went to have lunch.

After the meal, everyone said that they were going to take a walk in the valley, and Li Chunxi heard that his younger brother was also nearby, so he took Wen Yi's hand: "Let's go together, just look at the scenery over there." Wen Yi smiled and nodded, and walked hand in hand with her in the direction of the valley, and saw Li Dongrui and another teenager galloping towards this side on horseback from a distance, shouting very happily, obviously having fun.

Zha Yue muttered: "Sure enough, the foolish person meets the flower ......" She glanced at Li Chunxi and didn't continue.

The two young men saw everyone from afar, so they rode around and rushed towards them, who knew that they were only halfway there, I don't know what happened to the horse of the prince of Kang, and I didn't see anything unusual, but the prince fell to the ground, buried his face in the dirt, and did not move for a long time.

Everyone was stunned.
