This time, the attitude of the steward of the Shen Mansion was even more respectful, presumably after going back, he inquired about the relationship between Li Xin and Mrs. Shen, knew that he had offended someone, and rushed to remedy it.

He stood at the bottom of the slope, and he didn't mention coming up, slightly hunched over with a flattering face: "The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he collided with Mrs. Guan, and I hope that Mrs. Guan will not ......meet with the small one."

Li Xin naturally didn't come to see anyone, and it was Xiaobi who blocked the slope.

After following Li Xin for a while, Xiaobi also knew Li Xin's temperament, and the people who were originally quite cowering here gradually became bolder. At this time, Xiaobi crossed her waist with one hand, and naturally hung down on her leg with the other hand, and said with a faint smile after listening to the steward's words: "My wife is broad-minded, so naturally she will not take these little things to heart." ”

The steward hurriedly laughed, praised Li Xin for a few words, and flattered Xiaobi a few words, and then said cautiously: "I know that Mrs. Guan was busy a year ago, and this year has passed, I don't know if Mrs. Guan is free?" The fourth wife of my family asked Mrs. Guan to come over to talk about it......"

Xiaobi frowned slightly, looked at the sky, and said, "You wait here, I'll ask my wife what she means." ”

The steward hurriedly moved, Xiaobi turned around and muttered deliberately as she walked: "Madame's health is not very good during this time, it's safer not to go out......" The steward choked so much that he couldn't speak.

Xiaobi came back and learned from Li Xin, and said, "Sister Xin, the steward is still waiting for me to reply to you." ”

Li Xin glanced at Xing'er: "It seems that Mrs. Shen Si will not give up if she doesn't see me." ”

Xing'er was a little worried: "Otherwise...... Just replied to her? ”

"I can't hide from the first day of junior high school, but I can't hide from fifteen." Li Xin shook his head, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Xiaobi, you go and talk to that steward." I'll visit you tomorrow. ”

Xiaobi hurriedly "belched" and was about to go back to the housekeeper, but Li Xin stopped her and said, "You remember to be a little heavier." Let's just say that I am thirsty in the morning and wake up late. ”

Xiaobi should be busy.

Xing'er looked at Li Xin and asked, "Are you planning to go in the morning?" ”

"Hmm." Li Xin said softly: "I went to see Mrs. Shen first, and then logically went to see Mrs. Shen." ”

Xing'er nodded: "That's good, at least under Mrs. Shen's nose." ”

Li Xin is not so optimistic.

What puzzled her was that. Why does An Xuan have to see her? Isn't she also pregnant, she should have a baby at this time! What's in it for her to bounce while pregnant?

Thinking of what Guan Wen told her, Shen Siye didn't have a happy expression when he mentioned the fourth wife's pregnancy to him, and it was still a brushstroke, not like the pride of being a father......

Li Xin's movements immediately stopped.

Could it be......

She shook her head, not daring to think further.

In the evening, Guan Wen came back and rested in the town for the same night. I go home for another night as often.

Li Xin took off his cotton clothes for him, threw a handkerchief to wipe his face, and then whispered to him about the recent arrival of the Shen Mansion steward.

"Have you ever met Fourth Master Shen recently?" Li Xin asked in a low voice, "Have you asked anything about it?" ”

Guan Wen frowned slightly, obviously very dissatisfied with Mrs. Shen Si's insistence that Li Xin go to the Shen Mansion.

"I've been busy lately, but I've seen it twice. I also asked him sideways, but when it came to the inner court, he kept silent, and it seemed to me as if it were ...... Avoid it. Guan Wen said: "So I didn't ask anything." ”

Li Xin was faintly disappointed, Guan Wen said: "Fourth Master Shen has matured a lot, with the capital and silver given by Master Shen, he can also be free to do business, and Master Shen's connections...... I heard that he has rarely gone back to live in his home recently, and he has always been outside. Rumor has it that he raised an outer chamber outside. I don't know if it's true or not. ”

Li Xin opened her mouth and became an "oh" type, Guan Wen smiled and scratched her nose: "Are you so surprised?" Those rich sons and brothers of theirs are not like this. ”

Li Xin squinted his eyes and looked at Guan Wen, Guan Wen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "But I'm not like that, I don't have any money to spare, you can hold it, and I'm not a son." ”

"You're a bad old man."

Li Xin snorted lightly. Guan Wen hurriedly coaxed her softly, only then did he mutter for a moment and said, "Since you should go down, you will do what you plan tomorrow." I'll go in the morning and talk to Mrs. Shen first. I'll go early tomorrow to see if I can find Shen Siye and make up a pretext for him to go back. ”

Guan Wen glanced at Li Xin and said, "You don't want to have too much contact with Mrs. Shen Si?" ”

"Yes...... Li Xin sighed: "You don't know, I'm with her...... Although I can't say that I know each other very well, there is always a period of entanglement, and she was locked up in our house at that time...... I just don't know what kind of psychology she is now. ”

After thinking about it, Li Xin still didn't tell Guan Wen the reason for the discord between An Xuan and Shen Siye. If it wasn't what she guessed, then the sewage splash really didn't make sense.

Li Xin went to bed early at night, got up early the next day, and went to the town with Guan Wen. Xing'er also wanted to go, but Li Xin still stopped her and said, "She asked me to go by name, if you go with you, it won't be good." Just have Xiaobi to follow. ”

Xing'er was still a little worried, but she was not reluctant, so she only said to Xiaobi: "Follow your eldest lady and take good care of it, do you hear?" ”

Xiaobi nodded hurriedly, and Li Xin said with a smile: "Return the ...... of the eldest lady and the second lady"

Xing'er smiled, helped Li Xin into the carriage, and handed in a thick quilt: "Be careful on the road." ”

Li Xin nodded.

Guan Wen personally sent Li Xin to the gate of the Shen Mansion, and when he saw her entering, he turned around to look for Shen Siye, who slept in the brothel of the Qinglou last night.

Li Xin came early, but at this time, the Shen Mansion had already begun to have an orderly day.

The mother-in-law led Li Xin to the main courtyard and called the little maid to report, and after a while, Biliu came out and welcomed Li Xin in with a smile.

It was the first time for Xiaobi to follow Li Xin out, and although she was apprehensive, she also suppressed it, and her face was calm. Li Xin was quite satisfied with her performance.

Entering the flower hall, Mrs. Shen stood up to greet her and said with a smile: "I was a little surprised when I heard that you came." Come on in, it's cold outside. ”

Li Xin walked in with a smile, and the big squirrel outside was taken off by Xiaobi, walked to Mrs. Shen's side, and was held by Mrs. Shen.

"These hands are very cold, Bi Tao, bring a soup woman to Mrs. Guan and let her hold her warm hands."

Bi Tao hurriedly answered the call to fetch the soup woman, but Li Xin was a little embarrassed: "Madame's words are serious, my body is cold, and it is normal for my hands to be cold." ”

Mrs. Shen glared at her: "Nonsense, women are already yin, if you don't cover yourself to warm up, won't it be cooler in the yin?" There are also many problems in women's families. You don't usually pay attention. ”

Mrs. Shen complained in her mouth, but the strong relationship revealed in it still moved Li Xin.

"I'm bothering Madame today."

"What's the matter, it just so happens that I've been idle lately, and everything at home has a routine to follow, so I don't need to worry too much."

Mrs. Shen smiled, took Li Xin to sit on the kang, asked Biliu to pour tea for Li Xin, and then moved her eyes to Xiaobi, and said, "I haven't seen this girl." ”

Li Xin hurriedly asked Xiaobi to salute Mrs. Shen, and said with a smile: "This is the maid I bought, named Bi'er, she is an honest child and does things sincerely." ”

Mrs. Shen nodded and said, "The person who does things is to be honest and sincere. Then he waved at Biliu.

Biliu understood, took the reward silver to Xiaobi, smiled and pulled her and said, "Sister Bi'er, we are really fateful, and we all have the same name." ”

Xiaobi was busy squatting down for a blessing, and when she saw Li Xin nodding slightly, she accepted the silver and said, "Sister, I don't know ...... sister."

"My name is Biliu." Bi Liu introduced herself with a smile, and pointed at Bi Tao again: "That's Bi Tao." ”

"Sister Biliu is good, Sister Bitao is good." Xiaobi is busy with blessings. Bi Tao and Bi Liu also gave her a gift.

Mrs. Shen smiled on the side: "You three sisters are so fateful, hurry up and go out to talk about the old days." Mrs. Guan and I also talked about family life. ”

Biliu Bitao knew that Mrs. Shen was going to say something private to Li Xin, so she took Xiaobi out to chat and let the place out.

Li Xin said helplessly: "Everyone is making fun of me, why should my wife also make fun of me?" Call me Li Xin. ”

Mrs. Shen shook her head with a smile and said, "Now that your man is also a businessman, your family has a family background, and you have bought a maid to serve, why can't you be a 'madam'?" ”

Mrs. Shen patted her hands and said, "If others call it that, you just suffer like that." That's right. ”

Li Xin could only nod.

"By the way, I patronized and greeted you, and I didn't ask you, what is the matter with coming to me today?"

Mrs. Shen looked at Li Xin, Li Xin smiled and said, "Can't you come to talk to Mrs. if you have nothing to do?" ”

Mrs. Shen smiled: "That's naturally okay." It's just that I think I still know you two points, you are a person, you don't like to go out very much, this is nothing to go to the Three Treasures Palace. Something must be wrong when you come. ”

Mrs. Shen looked at Li Xin with a smile: "What I said is right?" ”

Li Xin said in frustration: "Madam, this really understands me thoroughly......

Mrs. Shen laughed: "The days you have come to me in the past are numbered, and there is something wrong when you come back, so you can't just come to see me today, right?" ”

Mrs. Shen said: "Jiang is still old and spicy, don't be annoyed that I will see you through in three or two clicks, you have to take it." ”

Mrs. Shen took a sip of the teacup, and when she saw Li Xin take out a piece of paper from her arms, she smiled again: "I'm right, you're here to send me silver." ”

"It's Madame who gives me money every month."

Li Xin smiled, handed the piece of paper full of words to Mrs. Shen and said, "This lady can take it to the masters in the workshop to study and study." ”

Mrs. Shen took it, looked at it carefully, and then put it away carefully, and said with a smile: "Thanks to you, this business can continue to be done." ”

Li Xin didn't dare to say anything, and was humbly with Mrs. Shen, Biliu opened the curtain and came in to report: "Madam, the fourth lady has come to say goodbye to Madame." ”
