Wen Yi immediately remembered the magnolia hairpin in her heart, her face turned red, and she hurriedly turned her back, not daring to look at him. Liu Dongxing's expression was a little lonely, and when he saw that she refused to look at herself, his heart was even more uncomfortable. How did Wen Yi know what he was thinking? I just felt that my face was feverish, and I was busy calling the girl, and I raised my feet and walked to the door, but I heard the sound of horses' hooves not far away. She turned her head to look, only to see a black horse running quickly in front of Liu Dongxing, I don't know what Liu Dongxing was doing, she was almost hit by it, startled her, and involuntarily exclaimed. Liu Dongxing reacted and quickly took a step back, narrowly avoiding it, but he stumbled a little. He didn't care much, his two eyes only looked at Wen Yi, as if he heard Fang Cai's exclamation, his expression softened a little, and there was a faint joy between his eyebrows. Wen Yi was secretly relieved to see that he was fine, and when he saw that he was just staring at himself, his face couldn't help but be ashamed, he turned his head and went back to the door, ordered Uncle Qian in the porter to close the door, and hurriedly walked to the inner courtyard. Uncle Qian took the order, but walked outside the door and looked at the intersection a few times, with a strange look on his face.

Aunt Qian walked up from behind him and asked him puzzledly, "Miss asked you to close the door, what are you looking at?" ”

Uncle Qian said: "The man who rode the horse just now, looking from a distance, looks a little like an acquaintance we knew when we were in the long room before, named Hu Tong, do you remember?" ”

Aunt Qian hurriedly said: "How could it be him?" Didn't he go to Beijing with the eldest master's family? After a second thought, "yes, I guess I'm back to deliver the letter, right?" The children of the eldest lord are here, although it is not a festival now, and no master has a birthday, but it is less than a month away from the Dragon Boat Festival. ”

"What do you know?!" Uncle Qian glanced at her, "I heard that this Hu Tong has already become the second steward of the outer courtyard in the capital, where does he need to do the errand of delivering letters?!" Moreover, he came back alone, and he did not see any gifts with him, as if he had come back to say goodbye? Besides, there are still more than 20 days before the Dragon Boat Festival, who would send someone to give a gift so early?! It's a little weird to look at, otherwise why would I ask?! ”

Aunt Qian glanced back at him: "What are you doing so much?" We are not people from the long room anymore, and you said it again, you must always remember that you have returned to the sixth room, you pick my thorns all day long, but you go to take care of the gossip of the long room! ”

Uncle Qian said angrily: "If it's a common thing, I don't care!" But if something happens to the long house, the sixth room will also be implicated. Why don't you even understand this? Something! ”

Wen Yi didn't know about this little argument that happened in front of her house, she just lived her life as usual, and she didn't feel that something big had happened in the clan. After a night of deliberation, she found an opportunity to tell her grandmother and Mama Zhao about Liu Dongxing's life experience, the former just frowned and was silent, but the latter sighed: "That Mrs. Rong is so pitiful!" The old lady of the Liu family treated her too unfairly! She turned to Old Madam Lu, "Old Madam, do you want to persuade Mrs. Sangu?" This is iniquity! Liu Dagongzi is an adult, just let him go out to stand on his own, refuse to let go, and press him not to come out, and call him as a human being. If it spreads, the old man of the Liu family will also be discredited! ”

Old Madam Lu smiled slightly: "The third aunt is afraid that she won't be able to listen to me." Besides, don't pity that Liu Gongzi, I'm afraid that he already has a plan in his heart, but now he is just forbearant for a while, and his uncle and aunt can't wronged him! He looked at Wen Yi with a meaningful gaze: "It's just these words...... It can be regarded as the Liu family's private ...... As soon as you asked, he told you everything? ”

Wen Yi stiffened her head and lowered her head and said: "My granddaughter also asked him at that time, and he said that he had studied medicine with Xiao Lao for several years, and he had come to our house for medical treatment, and many people in the family knew him. Since his granddaughter is considered an insider, if he still hides it, but it seems to be weak-hearted, it is better to tell the truth. He also told his granddaughter not to spread the word, otherwise he would be very sad at home......"

"It's not a big deal." Old Madam Lu instructed Mama Zhao lightly, "Tell the people below, don't talk to outsiders about Dr. Xiao's master and apprentice, violators will be severely punished." ”

Mama Zhao answered, turned around and walked out, and gave Wen Yi a meaningful look before leaving.

Wen Yi shrank her feet a little crampedly, and lowered her head again.

There were only two grandchildren left in the house, and Mrs. Lu said: "Now that I know his life experience, it can be seen that you were deceived in your dream, and the relatives that your fourth uncle and fourth aunt told you are not outrageous, so what kind of eldest son, broken appearance, filling the house and the like, it can't be true!" This is all what your second aunt's niece told you? Although it is dreamed of in a dream, you can know its character! Stay away from her, don't get close to her! ”

Wen Yi whispered: "In my dream...... said that the marriage was three years later, and the granddaughter didn't know if that person would break his appearance and marry in these three years...... Besides, he was a military attache in his dream, but now he is only white...... As for the rumors of the eldest son, judging from the current rumors up and down Gu Zhuang, it is no wonder that Ke Rou ......"

Old Madam Lu said angrily: "It's not unusual if others misunderstand, but she is your second aunt's maiden niece!" Your third aunt wants to coax people and outsiders! How could my mother's mother and sister-in-law not know the truth?! When your second aunt knows, she will naturally tell her niece, how could Kerou mistake an eldest son and grandson for an illegitimate eldest son?! On the contrary, I think that your third aunt chose you as her nephew and daughter-in-law, but she still has some vision, but she can't keep your second aunt with more vision, and she also wants the eldest son of the Liu family to be her niece and son-in-law! ”

Wen Yi was taken aback and hurriedly said, "How can this be?" The granddaughter heard it clearly in her dream, but Rou had already said that she was good at that time! If she really intended to go to Liu Dongxing and directly begged the second aunt to say goodbye, wouldn't it be easier than her granddaughter in a separate room?! ”

Old Madam Lu frowned, feeling that her granddaughter's words also made some sense, and thinking back to Duan Kerou, she only felt that she was a cowardly girl, and she might not have the courage to coax her granddaughter, in case someone else debunked her words, wouldn't she be a person inside and out? slowed down his tone and said, "That's it, maybe she really doesn't have such a bad intention, but you don't want to be close to her anymore, grandmother doesn't like her temperament!" ”

Wen Yi said with some frustration: "She was very good with her granddaughter in her dreams, but now she has always refused to be close to her granddaughter. Besides, what she did was a bit unruly, and her granddaughter felt deeply sorry in her heart, but she had no children, so she could only watch. If there is a chance in the future, her granddaughter should persuade her a few words, just hoping that she can listen to her ears...... "She was a little sad, but after thinking about it, she felt that no matter what Kerou did, as long as she didn't marry a middle-aged businessman indiscriminately like in her previous life, and died young, she was already ten times stronger, and there was no need to force the rest.

Thinking of this, her expression softened a lot, and she said respectfully to her grandmother: "My granddaughter knows, and she will not act abruptly in the future." ”

Old Madam Lu nodded, and suddenly said, "The matter of the eldest son of the Liu family...... I will be careful not to talk to him in private outside the home, so that you will not be able to get someone to hold the handle, and your reputation will be damaged. ”

Wen Yi's face turned red, and the mosquito snorted and responded with a "yes", so she kept her head down and didn't dare to look directly at her grandmother. Old Madam Lu didn't feel too embarrassed for her, and only explained a few words about Zi Ying's dowry, and then let her leave. Wen Yi walked back to the room quickly, only to feel that her face was so hot that she was about to smoke, but when she thought that her grandmother said that she would "pay attention" to Liu Dongxing's affairs, she was embarrassed again.

In the next few days, Wen Yi stayed at home to arrange Zi Ying's marriage, and personally packed up the dowry for the latter.

Zi Ying blushed and said: "Miss, don't be sad, if you want to be a slave in the future, ask someone to give you a word, and the slave and maid will immediately return to the house to ask for peace, and they can still meet." ”

Wen Yi nodded with a smile, and said, "The Nie family has already sent you the deed here, you will no longer be a slave in the future, you should change your words." Otherwise, when you go to your in-laws' house, won't they make them look down on you? ”

Zi Ying shook her head: "The slave knows her identity, but she doesn't dare to take it." He pursed his lips and smiled, "They won't, the slave maid is married from the Gu family, they are begging for a living in Gu Village, where do they dare to underestimate the slave maid?" Besides, the slave's parents are in charge of the Nie family, and when our young master is in high school, they will still feel that their faces are bright! ”

Hearing her say this, Wen Yi became worried. I don't know how the eldest cousin of the Nie family is doing?

A few days later, good news came from Pingyang City, Nie Heng won the first place in the government test and the hospital test, and he can be called a rare talent under the jurisdiction of Pingyang Mansion in the past ten years, but it is a pity that in the early years of the county test, because of poor health, he failed to win the championship and did not make up the "little three yuan", but this two yuan alone has made the Nie and Qin families overjoyed.

Wen Yi immediately presented her grandmother, prepared a generous gift, and ordered someone to send it to the city to congratulate her. Before Nie Heng returned to Pingyin County, he personally transferred to Gu Zhuang to solemnly thank him, just in time for Ziying to get married, and he also went to the groom's house to sit down, giving the family enough face. Before leaving, he quietly brought a note to Wen Yi, with only two big words written on it: "It's done." Although Wen Yi had doubts in his heart, he also understood that this was the meaning of what they had discussed before, but he didn't quite understand what he had done. Just thought about it, with Nie Heng's original intelligence, since he said it, it must have been arranged, so why should she worry about it anymore? He put down the big stone in his heart, put the matter aside and didn't mention it, but just wrote to Uncle Zhang, who was stationed in Xishan Village, to act as usual.

As the days passed, it was the end of April, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter day by day. Wen Yi instructed the family to add ice basins, bamboo curtains, reed mats, and couches to her grandmother's yard, and at the same time went to Xinxishan Village to ask the people from Yaoxiang Valley to send a batch of tonic medicine to relieve the heat, and prepare for her grandmother to use.

The third aunt's wife, Liu Gu, and her son have not left for a long time, and Wen Yi has begun to be suspicious, thinking that she will inevitably stay for too long this time, right? It's been half a month, doesn't she have to take care of the Liu family's housework? It's just that as a junior, Wen Yi can't say anything, because of her grandmother's words, she has already pushed the invitation to the long house or the Liu family three times in a row, and she is a little uneasy in her heart, and she misses it a little, with a hint of shame in it, but she began to worry about it, will Liu Dongxing misunderstand herself?

Just when Wen Yi was in a tangled mood, a group of mysterious people came to Guzhuang.

There were fifty or sixty of them, all on horses, and the crows and crows fluttered to the ground, very low-key, but very conspicuous. Because although they are not wearing silk and satin, half of them are dressed as officers and soldiers, and a young man led by them is even more magnificent, with an extraordinary bearing, and a white horse under him, at a glance, it is a good horse in a million, the whole body is snow-white, only there is a touch of red at the center of the eyebrows, red as blood.

This pedestrian is a guest of the Xuanle Hall of the Long House, Liu Dongning, the precious son of the third aunt's wife, personally went out to greet him, and invited the young man into the door affectionately, and then the officers and soldiers who came with the young man guarded the front and rear doors of the Xuanle Hall respectively, and even under the corner of the corner, there were two people standing, four eyes staring at the passers-by, holding the handle of the knife in his right hand, as if he would pull out the knife and cut it at any time, which made people frightened at first sight. In less than an hour, no idlers passed in front of Xuanle Hall.

Wen Yi listened to what Zi Su heard from outside, frowned and asked, "Do you know where they come from?" Zi Su shook his head: "No one dared to come over to inquire, Aunt Qian from the porter went to an acquaintance she knew when she was on an errand in the long room and asked, but she said she didn't recognize it." The people in the house didn't come out, and there was nowhere to ask if they wanted to. After a pause, he pursed his lips and snickered: "I heard Aunt Qian say that a mother-in-law in front of Mrs. Fifth in the fourth room wanted to go into the house to inquire, but she was driven back when she got to the door, and Mrs. Fifth wanted to find the second wife to reason, but she was stopped back when she got to the door, but she was embarrassed!" ”

Wen Yi didn't think it was funny, but solemnly told the girls: "With the power of the long house, I don't dare to say anything, it can be seen that it is not an ordinary person." Don't ask inquisitively because you are curious, so as not to cause fire! Just don't know anything, do whatever you have to do, and don't go out! Shisu was very surprised, but when he saw that Dong Lyhock and the others were all right, he knew that the young lady was serious, so he nodded his head and obediently promised not to go out to inquire about this matter again.

Wen Yi thought about it, but couldn't think of who it was. At this time in her previous life, the family was busy because of her grandmother's serious illness, but she still knew some about the village, and there were no strange guests at that time, not even the third aunt and mother and son had never come. She was originally suspicious, but when she thought that there was a Liu Dongxing in the Liu family, she guessed a little shyly that it was because the third aunt wanted to choose a wife for him. But right now, she really couldn't guess what the guest meant.

Qiuguo's voice came from outside the door: "Miss, the old lady called you over." Wen Yi hurriedly cleaned up, straightened her clothes, and walked to her grandmother's residence in the backyard.

When she entered the main hall, she asked for peace, and Mrs. Lu solemnly beckoned her forward: "Come here, look at this post, it was just sent from the long room." ”

Wen Yi was puzzled in her heart, and said while taking the post from Shi Nan's hand: "There is another banquet in the long room?" What's so famous this time? The sixth sister and the cousin of the Liu family are too lively, right? Looking down at the post, he was startled: "The prince of Dongping? The guest who came to the door yesterday in the long room with the official and military guards was the prince of Dongping?! ”

Old Madam Lu sighed and nodded: "The long room is going to hold a banquet for this prince, and let all the people in our other rooms go over to accompany us...... Now the capital is making a lot of trouble for the crown prince and cutting the feudal domain, even we are far away in Pingyang, we can hear the wind, your Uncle Liu in order to avoid the limelight, even your third aunt and mother and son have been sent back to their parents' house, how can the long house be so unwise, but respect the prince of Dongping as a guest? ! It's relatives, but it's two floors apart! ”

Wen Yi heard for the first time that the third aunt was "staying" in her mother's house, and she couldn't help but be silent when she heard the words, and after a while, she asked, "Grandmother, what about this invitation...... We should ...... Or should it not? ”
