Chapter 269: The lady took the initiative to come to the door
Li Siye invited Zhang Xiaojing to sit on the sheep felt, the tea in the tea pot gurgled and danced, he scooped three bowls of tea and handed them to the two, and talked eloquently: "I like this courtyard, I like it too, and when I come back to Chang'an in the future, I can still live here." ”
"After we leave, I want you to take care of the yard."
"No problem."
Zhang Xiaojing nodded without hesitation.
The three of them sat in the hall and drank tea until the afternoon, Zhang Xiaojing and Zhang Lu got up to say goodbye, and he sent the two out of the courtyard door, just about to turn around and go back. Suddenly, I saw a figure standing in the distance, wearing a white robe, with a high bun on his head and a hosta horizontally; Behind his back, he carried two long swords, and in his hands he carried a well-laid burden.
Li Siye was stunned for a moment, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly. Twelve Niang stepped forward with small steps, looking at him with her head down, as if waiting for his verdict.
He couldn't bear this kind of little look, so he had to frown and say, "It's all here, come in." ”
Twelve Niang nodded vigorously again and again, followed him shyly with her burden, and walked into the yard.
She has been to this courtyard once, and she can smell Li Siye in it, feel his figure, and imagine him squatting on the verandah. The mulberry tree in the yard is also very familiar, and even his sister feels very close, which is probably because of Aiwu and Wu.
Now he was standing in the courtyard, just as she had imagined, the people and the scenery around him were perfectly integrated.
It's just that she herself is too cramped, and an unmarried woman took the initiative to put down her face and came to the man's house. Without three media and six certificates, without the order of parents, this kind of behavior is considered elopement in the eyes of others.
Her only strength is that she has no family bonds, and her master and grandmother are quite open-minded, without this, all her pursuits are extravagant hopes.
The maid of the family walked out of the outer courtyard room, her eyes looked at the woman behind Li Siye unscrupulously, and Aunt Wu blinked and asked, "Ah Lang is going to ask for a girl at home again?" This young man is not as steady as our old bones. ”
"What eyes?" Li Siye looked Li Twelve Niang up and down, sighed and said, "This is a guest of mine, a friend, who is going to stay at home for two days." ”
Aunt Wu and Mrs. Chen looked at the body of Twelve Niang, and the two whispered: "I'm afraid it's not a woman from a good family, it seems to be the one who came last time, how could a woman from a good family take the initiative to come to the door, could it be that this lady is from Pingkangfang?" Ah Lang is too good at spending money. ”
Twelve Niang suddenly stopped, turned around and threw a sharp look at the two old maids, the two of them suddenly felt cold on their bodies, goosebumps were raised, and they hurriedly covered their mouths and were silent.
I'm afraid this lady is not only from Pingkangfang, but also difficult to provoke.
Li Mei'er sat on the verandah with the book in her hand, threw a smile at Twelve Niang, and stretched out her hand to point at her and said to Li Siye: "This sister is the lady who once came to visit our house, brother, you should be married to the media, living at home with such an unjustified name will make outsiders laugh." ”
Twelve Niang smiled slightly embarrassedly, and looked at Li Mei'er with sweet gratitude.
Li Mei'er's words made the eyes of the two old maids widen in surprise, it turned out that this woman was not from Pingkangfang, but a woman from a good family. An unmarried lady dares to come to a strange man's house so openly, how bold and bold this woman is.
Li Siye instructed the two old maids: "Clean up the west wing room and let the twelve mothers live in." ”
"But," the old maid asked hesitantly, "this is Ah Lang's room, where do you sleep at night?" ”
Li Siye said categorically: "Mei'er and I went to sleep in the hall, anyway, this courtyard won't last long, and we are going to leave for Anxi soon." ”
"Are you going to the Western Regions, ah, Alang, are we going too? We, old arms and legs, I'm afraid we can't stand the journey, Ah Lang said what should you do. ”
The two old maids gathered in front of Li Siye, babbling incessantly.
Li Siye frowned, just because there were too many things to do these days, he forgot to tell the two old maids about the family moving to Anxi. The two were originally hired, and how to send them was simple.
"It's just that I'm busy all day and forgot to tell you about it, I really want to take Mei'er to Anxi, and this place will be idle for the time being. Whether to follow us to Anxi or stay in Chang'an is up to you. If you follow along, I am very welcome, but the road in Anxi is long and bumpy, if you don't want to go, I will also give you a sum of money. Let's think about it in the next two days. ”
The two old maids fell silent for a moment, exchanged glances with each other, their faces were uncertain, and they couldn't make a decision for a while.
"If you think about it at night, you can also think about it, and clean up the room for the twelve ladies first."
Li Twelve Niang stood behind Li Siye with the package, and whispered on her shy and beautiful face: "I don't have to think about it, I will follow you wherever you are, don't say that you are going to Anxi, it is the sword mountain and the sea of fire, and I will accompany you to the underworld." ”
After hearing these words, Li Siye's back was tingling for a while, you are just a little lady more than a thousand years ago, why are you so good at flirting, making me a modern person trembling.
The two old maids went to clean up the room, and Li Meier took the initiative to invite Twelve Niang to the hall, and the two sat opposite each other on the felt carpet.
She secretly looked at this lady who might become her sister-in-law, with a fair and handsome face, wearing a man's robe, but with a heroic beauty, she carried a long sword on her back, and she may have been born in a martial arts family. It's just that the body is a little too thin, and I don't know if my brother can like it.
"Twelve mothers, please have tea." Li Mei'er took the initiative to hold the tea bowl and presented it, Li Twelve Niang hurriedly reached out to take it, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. I feel that the taste of this tea is appropriate, and the cooking heat is also in place, Twelve Niang is a knowledgeable person, and it is rare to boil tea to this taste.
She looked at Li Mei'er with a surprised expression and asked, "You made this tea?" ”
Li Mei'er nodded proudly: "Well, like this? Doesn't it taste good? ”
Twelve Niang said solemnly: "I can already enter the hall." ”
"Really?" The girl excitedly leaned on the desk with her arms, close to the twelve mothers and said proudly: "I can't hide it, Twelve Niang, this tea-making craft was only learned four years ago, and after a year of learning, my master Wenran Sister said that my tea-making skills have surpassed her, and now Wenran Sister has drunk my tea, and I feel that my tea is difficult to eat." ”
Twelve Niang tasted two sips slowly, nodded and said seriously: "That's right, making tea is a very talented thing." ”
"Twelve Niang, what is your craft?"
"Hey, my craftsmanship ......" Li Twelve Niang subconsciously looked back at the sword on her shoulder, compared with the sword dancing and boiling tea, it seemed to lack elegance.
Li Siye was slightly embarrassed to stand in the courtyard, occasionally looking at the situation in the hall, and seemed to get along very well, even more harmoniously than he imagined. It seems that Li Shiniang wants to marry into the Li family, and the only obstacle is that he is Li Siye.
Aunt Wu came to Li Siye with her hands stabbed together, lowered her body and said, "Ah Lang, the west wing of the Twelfth Niang has been cleaned up." ”
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Aunt Wu, you can go down and rest."
"Whoa."
Aunt Wu didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave, followed Li Siye's gaze to look into the hall, leaned over and laughed and commented: "This must not be the daughter of a big family, seeing that she is carrying a weapon on her back, I'm afraid she is not going to the rivers and lakes to perform arts?" This kind of woman has a loose heart and a wild temperament. Besides, Ah Lang, you are now a general, so you must pay attention to your own family, right? This lady didn't look at her identity and took the initiative to come to the door, saying that it was shameless to say that it was ugly. ”
"Ah Lang's identity should marry a young lady from a big family, and this woman can be included in the concubine at most."
Li Siye's expression suddenly turned cold, and he glanced down at Aunt Wu and said, "Just do your own duty, don't chew your tongue in front of me, and don't chew your tongue behind the backs of others." ”
Li Siye rarely showed this kind of expression in front of the old maids, and Aunt Wu saw that the master's face was not good, so she hurriedly lowered her body and retreated.
