The garden of the Li Mansion was already full of people.

Although Li Qingshu is still just a small patrol now, as soon as the disaster in Suyang is resolved, he will be transferred back to the capital, and he will be promoted soon, plus there is a loyal and brave waiting house behind him, so there are still many ladies to support this flower-viewing banquet held by the Qi family.

As soon as the Li family entered, all the ladies ran over to say hello, and Xiao Xile was surrounded by a group of young ladies and touted, with a hint of arrogance on his delicate face.

"Mrs. Xiao." At this moment, a woman in a tulip pleated dress walked towards Lee.

"Mrs. Lin." Looking at the visitor, the corners of Li's eyebrows jumped unconsciously.

Mrs. Lin is the wife of the Ministry of Works, and Forestry is the brother of the fourth prince's biological mother, Li Concubine.

Li Lin, the eldest daughter of the Li family, has already passed away, and Mrs. Qi's intention to hold a flower-viewing banquet at this time could not be more obvious. But even if Li Qingshu comes back from Suyang, he will only be a five-grade Beijing official at most, and he is more than a star and a half worse than the third-grade Ministry of Works. Obviously, Mrs. Lin didn't come for Sister Lin, so why did she suddenly participate in the Li family's flower viewing banquet, is it because......

Xile!

Li's eyelids jumped suddenly, she turned her face sideways, and just saw Xiao Xiwei standing not far away, she didn't realize anything, but her mouth had already shouted.

"Wei'er."

Xiao Xi turned his head slightly to look at Li, the corners of his lips hooked, and he raised his foot and walked towards Li. "Mother."

Seeing Xiao Xiwei coming over, Li suddenly remembered her purpose of calling Xiao Xiwei this time, but when she thought of Xile...... Li could only squeeze out a smile and pushed Xiao Xiwei out, "Mrs. Lin, this is my eldest daughter Xiwei." Xiwei, I haven't seen Mrs. Lin yet. ”

Xiao Xiwei raised his eyes and glanced at Mrs. Lin, smiled sweetly, and a pair of light pear vortices bloomed at the corner of his lips, "Xiwei has seen Mrs. Lin." As he spoke, he gave Mrs. Lin a dignified salute.

Lin Shi looked at the delicate and lovely person in front of him, and saw that she was wearing a pair of expensive gold silk inlaid ruby double luans on her head, and reached out to help her up with satisfaction, and easily took off the jade bracelet in her hand and put it on Xiao Xiwei's wrist, "This child was born so well, like a fairy in the painting, I like it at a glance!" Here, child, this is for you. ”

The jadeite is green and transparent, and you can see that it is not ordinary. I didn't expect Mrs. Lin to be so generous, isn't it, she really looks down on Xiwei's girl?

Mrs. Lin should have been happy that she didn't look at Xile, but when she thought of the purpose of this trip, she couldn't help but be a little unwilling!

Xiao Xile had been secretly staring at Xiao Xiwei, and at this moment, when he saw Mrs. Lin's extraordinary move, and listened to the young lady next to him discussing Mrs. Lin's identity, he immediately ran over and took Li's arm with a smile, "Mother." ”

Seeing her suddenly running over, Li's eyelids jumped, and he raised his hand and patted Xiao Xile's hand holding her arm, "It's so big, why don't you have rules!" ”

Xiao Xile stuck out his tongue, then straightened up and blessed his body gracefully, "Xile has seen Madame." ”

Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "The young lady of the Zhongyong Houfu is really beautiful one by one." With that, he pulled out a golden begonia bead flower from his head and stuffed it into Xiao Xile's hand.

Although the golden begonia bead flower in his hand is exquisite, it is not a little worse than the jade bracelet in Xiao Xiwei's hand, and he can't help but feel a little unhappy.

"Madam, I see that my sister seems to like your bracelet very much, why don't I change it with my sister, what does Madame think?" Xiao Xi looked up at Mrs. Lin with a smile and said.

"Sister's vision is good, this pearl hairpin is the best match for my sister's clothes today." Before Mrs. Lin could answer, Xiao Xile raised her hand with a smile and inserted the golden begonia bead flower into Xiao Xiwei's sideburns.

At this point, Mrs. Lin naturally couldn't say no. It was Xiao Xile, who got the jade bracelet, and couldn't hide the smile on his face, and didn't pay attention to the displeasure that flashed in Mrs. Lin's eyes.

The corners of Xiao Xi's eyebrows were slightly raised.

Mrs. Lin's identity is clear to the Li family, and Xiao Xiwei is even clearer! Li was afraid that Mrs. Lin would take a fancy to Xiao Xile, so she pushed her out, which she could understand, but Mrs. Lin's actions didn't seem to look down on Xiao Xile but seemed to be coming at herself.

If you weren't loyal and brave enough to wait for your daughter, and you had a foreigner who was the richest man in Jiangnan, how could the emperor marry you? You're just a pawn throughout......

Xiao Xile's words are still in my ears.

She and Xiao Xile are the same concubines in the same house, the only difference is that her uncle Chen Jinrong is not only the richest man in Jiangnan, but more importantly, he has no daughter, so he loves her very much for her as the only niece!

No wonder, the person he obviously likes is Xiao Xile, but in the end he chose her.

"Sister Wei, Sister Le, haven't you been clamoring to eat peach blossom crisp, I specially asked someone to do it this time, Sister Lin, come and get your two younger sisters quickly." At this time, Qi interjected with a smile, and gave Li a look without a trace as he spoke.

The Li family was desperate to find a reason for Xiao Xile to leave, so he hurriedly asked Li Lin to take the two of them down.

Qi Shi said a few more polite words to Mrs. Lin, and after that, he found a reason to pull Li aside.

"What just happened? Did Mrs. Lin take a fancy to Sister Wei'er? ”

Li Shi frowned, "It should ...... Not really. ”

"If she hadn't taken a fancy to Sister Wei'er, why would she have given Sister Wei such a valuable bracelet as soon as she came!" Qi Shi said as he spoke, and an inexplicable anger welled up in his heart. She originally thought that Mrs. Lin suddenly came to Qi Mansion with the intention of coming to see Sister Lin, but she didn't expect that she was not a drunkard. Turning his head and looking at Li Shi with a hesitant look, the more Qi Shi thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so he hurriedly grabbed Li's hand and whispered, "Qingmei, don't forget that you promised me!" I've got everything in place! ”

"Mrs. Kelin's side......" Li was still a little hesitant.

If she really promised her sister-in-law, what if the fourth prince turned his head and pestered Xile again? Xiao Yan's words that day made her heart palpitate.

"Qingmei, it's not me saying you, if you marry Sister Wei into the Lin family, then the pile of dowries left by the Chen family will also follow into the Lin family, and when you want to cry, you won't be able to cry!" Mrs. Qi stared at the Li family and sneered, "As for Mrs. Lin, although she is the lady of the Ministry of Works, she is not as loyal and brave as your family, and she can still marry her!" ”

When the Qi family said this, Sihao didn't expect that the young master of the Ministry of Works' Shilang Mansion was not worthy of the Zhongyong Waiting Mansion, so she was a patrol case from the seventh grade in the Li Mansion, but I was afraid that she was even more unworthy.

However, the Qi family doesn't know what to do, but the Li family knows that it is not Mrs. Lin who has a crush on Xiao Xiwei but the fourth prince! It's just that she knows how much dowry the Chen family left behind, so she can't swallow this breath in her heart when she watches that little slut take so much dowry from under her nose and marry into the royal family. It's just that what the Qi family said is not unreasonable, if the lord doesn't allow it, even if it is the fourth prince, he can't force him to marry!

"It's still my sister-in-law's thoughts."

"You're right." Seeing that Li wanted to open it, Qi clapped her hand with a smile.

Li Lin had just walked a short distance with the two of them, and before they could sit down, four or five young ladies led the girls and walked over.

"Sister Lin, these two should be the sisters of the Loyal and Brave Waiting Mansion." One of the girls in a pink embroidered butterfly dress and a floral dress was the first to speak.

"Exactly." Li Lin smiled slightly, and hurriedly introduced Xiao Xiwei and Xiao Xile to everyone.

As soon as Li Lin's words fell, the surrounding ladies scrambled to introduce themselves to the two. These young ladies were more or less told by their fathers and mothers before they came, and they all wanted to take this rare opportunity to take advantage of the high branch of the Loyal and Brave Waiting Mansion, and for a while, they were afraid that they would fall behind, and they were even more bold to reach out and grab the corner of Xiao Xile's sleeve.

"What are you doing!" Xiao Xile's face changed, and he shook his arm suddenly.

The girl who was originally dragging her arm was caught off guard for a while, but she was thrown to the ground, and a large piece of her palm was scratched, spilling blood.

The garden, which had been noisy just a moment ago, fell silent, and only the girl's weeping could be heard.

"Sister Le'er......" Li Lin glanced at Xiao Xile in embarrassment, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to look at Xiao Xiwei on the side.

Xiao Xile's identity is there, Miss Chang, who is loyal and brave. Even her cousin Li Lin didn't dare to say anything, let alone the young lady next to her.

Xiao Xi slowly lowered his eyes, what should have come has come after all.

If she remembers correctly, the girl who fell and injured herself should be Qi Yuerong, the fourth lady of Qi Mansion, that is, the niece of the Qi family.

A sneer crossed the corner of her lips, she slowly walked to the girl who was sitting on the ground crying, and silently took out a handkerchief from her hand to bandage her wounds, "Sister Le, she didn't mean it, don't take it to heart." ”

The girl snorted a few times, glanced at Xiao Xiwei, and finally held back her tears and nodded silently.

"I see that cluster of camellia flowers in the east corner of the garden is blooming very well, why don't we go over and take a look." Li Lin said with a smile.

When everyone heard this, they nodded their heads one after another.

Xiao Xile snorted coldly, and took the lead in turning around and walking towards the east corner of the garden.

Li Lin smiled bitterly and hurriedly beckoned the ladies to follow. Her cousin really doesn't give her face!

No one noticed a sneer on Xiao Xi's lips.

Sure enough, the camellia in the east corner was indeed blooming very well. The leaves are thick green and shiny, and the flowers are colorful and colorful.

When everyone saw it, they praised it.

"Young Master, why don't you leave." At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Everyone looked back and saw a young man in a royal blue brocade robe standing behind him, followed by a small servant.

"Brother, are you out of school?" Li Lin said with a smile.

Li Po nodded, and replied without a smile, "Hmm." ”

Li Lin covered her mouth and smiled again, "Brother, Sister Wei is also here." With that, he looked at Xiao Xiwei.

"Cousin, why did you only see my sister and didn't see me!" Xiao Xile covered his mouth and laughed.

Xiao Xi pretended not to hear it and raised her hand to brush her temples, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a hand reaching towards her, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and then she turned around as if unintentionally, and her right foot tripped Xiao Ranle beside her violently under the cover of the wide skirt.

Xiao Xile was caught off guard, and the whole person crashed into Li Po's arms.

For a moment, all the people around were stunned.
