Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Confession Banquet
"Sister, it's all brother-in-law who is not good. You and I have met before, but we didn't think about it, so we missed it in vain......"
After three rounds of drinking, although His Royal Highness the Second Prince was not drunk, he talked more. While saying to Li Youran, he shook his head and sighed.
"Brother-in-law, what are you talking about, don't say that you and I can't recognize each other when we meet, even if my sister and I are face to face, we can't recognize each other."
Li Youran didn't eat much food, but he ate handfuls of dog food.
His Royal Highness the Second Prince kept taking care of Shangguan Wenwan with vegetables, and Wu Jiwu was also very enthusiastic about her, a little sister she had never met.
Seeing that Shangguan Wenwan was living so happily, Li Youran had another thing on his mind.
Originally, she thought that marrying the high-ranking and powerful Second Prince, His Royal Highness, Shangguan's gentle life would have a lot of troubles.
But seeing that the husband and wife were so affectionate, Li Youran was full of emotion in his heart, who said that there was no love in the royal family?
"Sister, what do you think about the kissing banquet?"
Shangguan said tentatively to Li Youran.
"In the end, the identity is different, and there will be many differences in doing things in this imperial city. If they knew that you were my own sister, they would naturally look up to you and save them a lot of trouble. ”
If others talk like this, Li Youran will feel that the other party is implying that he has touched her light.
But Shangguan Wenwan said this, but Li Youran didn't think so, she thought that only her sister would talk these things to her heart.
Take the first disagreement between the two sisters, the confession banquet.
Even if Shangguan Wenwan knew that the confession banquet had brought Li Youran a lot of benefits, but Li Youran didn't nod, Shangguan Wenwan would not make his own decisions.
This made Li Youran very moved, because Shangguan Wenwan sincerely thought from her point of view.
"Just do what my sister says."
Li Youran nodded and smiled.
After His Royal Highness the Second Prince left, Wen Wan took Li Youran's hand and whispered.
"Although you have been married, you are still a daughter in the end. Coupled with your noble status, it is not difficult to remarry. My sister will definitely choose a good husband for you carefully and seriously, and will never let you pay by mistake. ”
After Shangguan Wenwan learned about Li Youran's experience, she shed tears. She vowed that she must find a good home for her sister and not let her suffer again.
"Sister, let's put these things back for a while! Now I don't want to do these things, I just want to focus on doing business. ”
Li Youran didn't think that the words of being an official were just talking, if she really arranged a few blind dates for her, she was afraid that she would die on the spot, so Li Youran hurriedly refused.
"Don't worry about business, with your brother-in-law here, even if you want to be an imperial businessman, it will not be a problem, the most important thing at the moment is your family business."
Li Youran was embarrassed, and just now she praised her sister for respecting her wishes, but when she talked about family affairs, she couldn't help but say it.
"The two sisters just met, I don't want to marry out so early, I want to stay with my sister for a few more years."
Hearing Li Youran's words, Shangguan Wenwan's heart was sour, and she almost cried, and hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
"Okay, don't worry about family affairs, I'll keep an eye on it for you first, and we'll talk about it later."
Seeing that Shangguan Wenwan finally relented, Li Youran also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
After leaving from the second prince's mansion, Li Youran began to have a headache again, thinking about it, in the end, he still let the army set up a carriage and went directly to the cake shop.
It's late at night, and although the cake shop is proofing, the lights are still on inside.
Li Youran knew that this must be his father's preparation in advance for tomorrow's dough.
"Little Sister~"
Li Youran stood in front of the shop in a daze, and just happened to meet Zhao Lanzhi who came out of the shop.
"Why are you here at this time, have you been busy lately?"
Zhao Lanzhi mistakenly thought that Li Youran was too busy with business during the day and didn't have time to come to the cake shop, so he hurried over in the evening.
simply pulled Li Youran to sit down in the cake shop and poured her another cup of hot water.
"Daddy......"
Li Youran shouted at Li Dazhu in a soft and glutinous accent.
"What's wrong girl, you look a little abnormal today."
After Li Dazhu heard Li Youran's voice, he turned around.
Seeing that Li Youran looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, it was completely different from the appearance of the wind and fire on weekdays. simply patted the flour on his hand and sat down next to Li leisurely.
"What is there to say, what can't I say to my father?"
Li Dazhu looked at Li Youran and said with a smile.
Li Youran looked at the love in Li Dazhu's eyes, she felt that this mouth was getting more and more open, and she didn't know how to tell her father about it......
"Dad, I found my sister."
Li said in a low voice, not much louder than the cry of mosquitoes.
"What did you say, you found your relatives?"
Zhao Lanzhi, who was on the side, said excitedly after hearing Li Youran's words.
"Girl, what's going on, tell your dad about it."
Li Dazhu frowned slightly, it was not that he was not happy for Li Youran, but he was afraid that Li Youran would be deceived. After all, this girl is affectionate, so I am afraid that she will be deceived by someone because she is looking for her relatives.
Li leisurely finished the matter from beginning to end, after talking in detail. Li Haoran and Zhao Lanzhi's mouths were about to be stuffed with an egg, and Li Dazhu also had an incredible expression.
"That's the second princess!"
Zhao Lanzhi never thought that she would be able to get involved with the emperor's relatives and relatives, that is a celestial figure!
"Dad, why don't you speak?"
Li Haoran saw that Li Dazhu hadn't spoken all the time, so he gently pushed it.
"Aren't I too happy, I didn't expect to find my family so quickly, and I still have a head and a face."
Uncle Li scratched his head embarrassedly and said to Li Youran with a smile.
Although he had an inexplicable sense of emptiness in his heart, he was still happy for Li Youran.
"Dad, you must come to the family recognition banquet, and your brothers and sisters-in-law must also come."
Li Youran saw that everyone was really happy for her, and she didn't have too much sense of loss, so she put her mind at ease and turned to mention the matter of the family recognition banquet.
Thinking of going to the Second Prince's Mansion for dinner, Zhao Lanzhi and Li Haoran were both excited and a little scared, they had never participated in such an important occasion, and in the end it was Li Dazhu who spoke.
"As long as you don't dislike your father for being a cookcake seller, even if it's Heavenly Court, I, Li Dazhu, dare to go."
Hearing Li Dazhu's words, Li Youran's nose was sour, and he almost cried.
"Dad, where are you talking about, no matter what happens, you will always be my father."
Li Youran said, looked at Li Haoran and Zhao Lanzhi, and continued.
"You will always be my brother and sister-in-law."
Li Youran's words made Uncle Li and others have mixed feelings in their hearts.
On the second day, the shop was not open, and it turned out that the Li family and his party went to buy new clothes.
Fortunately, Li Youran followed his father back to the rented yard last night and did not go back. On the second day, when I went to buy clothes in a carriage, I passed by the small courtyard and saw a carriage full of carriages and a group of noble women.
"Little sister, you have coldly turned into the sister of the second princess, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable!"
"Look at what you said, the little sister was originally the sister of the second princess, but she was separated."
Zhou Yingying smiled flatteringly, looked at Li Youran and continued.
"Little sister, your nephew is also a blessed one, and he has not yet been born, so he encountered this good thing."
Li leisurely smiled and did not speak.
Zhou Yingying is pregnant, just one month ago, which is also something that Li Youran only learned about yesterday. It turned out that a few days ago, Zhou Yingying suddenly felt nauseous and uncomfortable, and thought that she was not suitable for water and soil, so she went to the shop to grab medicine. But who knows a pulse, and finds that it is a happy pulse.
If you talk about the eldest brother Li Tairan, he is also an assertive person on weekdays. Since Zhou Yingying became pregnant, she has completely become a soft ear, and Zhou Yingying is what she says.
Listening to Zhao Lanzhi, Zhou Yingying's fetus is particularly fond of acidity, and when she meets people, she says that she is pregnant with a man in her belly, and she thinks that Li Tairan wants a son, so she is so determined by Zhou Yingying.
Not only that, Zhou Yingying also wanted to manage the accounts in the cooking cake shop on the grounds that she was pregnant with the only male member of the Li family in the future, but Li Dazhu sternly refused.
For this reason, Zhou Yingying made a fuss for several days, and she didn't go to work in the cake shop.
However, Li Dazhu and Mrs. Li didn't care about her, in the end, their daughter-in-law was pregnant, and it was a good thing to raise the fetus at home.
After learning about what happened in the past few days, Li Youran knew that Zhou Yingying was showing a fox tail, and she didn't know how to make trouble next.
Not to mention it from afar, just talking about buying clothes, Li Youran felt that his head was about to explode.
"Sister-in-law, although we have to wear some good clothes to attend important occasions, your clothes are too fancy, right?"
Zhao Lanzhi looked at the gauzy bandeau dress worn by Zhou Yingying, her brows furrowed, and she said in her heart that this looks like the clothes worn by a woman's family. The flowers and branches are showing, and those who don't know think that they are the young lady from Yihong Courtyard.
"You don't understand this, I see that many ladies on the street wear it like this."
Zhou Yingying looked at the shadow in the bronze mirror, nodded with satisfaction, and continued.
"This one is not suitable for banquets, so it is good to buy another set suitable for banquets, and I will keep this set for weekdays."
Zhao Lanzhi didn't speak, she obviously said that it would be good to buy a dress for one person and keep it for the day of the banquet, but Zhou Yingying wanted to be special.
"Look at your stingy appearance, and it's not for you to pay."
Zhao Lanzhi didn't speak, but was scolded by Zhou Yingying, Zhao Lanzhi knew that she was pregnant, so she didn't bother with her, and simply turned around and left.
Li Youran saw this scene in his eyes, did not speak, just beckoned to the guy, bowed his head and said a few words in his ear.
When everyone finished choosing clothes and was ready to pay the bill, Mother Li saw that Zhou Yingying had chosen two sets of clothes, and she didn't say much. In the end, there is nothing wrong with buying clothes for your daughter-in-law.
Originally, Li Youran rushed to pay the bill, but was refused, because his father said that the business of the cake shop was excellent these days, and he had money in his hands.
Li Youran didn't rush to pay the bill, but when everyone was about to leave, he suddenly controlled Zhao Lanzhi.
Seeing that Li Youran left Zhao Ran alone, Zhou Yingying refused to leave on the side, and Li Youran didn't care, anyway, he just showed it to her.
So in front of Zhou Yingying, she took a bag of clothes wrapped by the guy and said to Zhao Lanzhi.
"Sister-in-law, on weekdays, you always change those two clothes back and forth, and my little sister bought you two clothes, you must take them."
Zhao Lanzhi wanted to refuse, but when she saw Li Youran wink, she knew that she was deliberately angry with Zhou Yingying, so she simply took over the burden.
"Little sister, thank you so much, sister-in-law, I just don't have any clothes to wear."
Seeing this, Zhou Yingying on the side was so angry that she wanted to grab the burden directly, but thinking of Li Youran's identity, she could only suppress her anger.
"Laneige, you're a blessing."
After speaking, she turned her head and left, and Zhao Lanzhi and Li Ranran behind her looked at each other and smiled.
Soon it was the day of the family recognition banquet, Li Youran had long thought that today would be very lively, it would be a big scene, but he didn't expect it to be so lively.
The entire outside the Second Prince's Mansion was full of all kinds of luxurious carriages. Not only that, but the gifts from each family filled the entire long street, which was so lively.
"Uncle Li, Aunt Li, thank you for treating Ling Mei as your own and treating each other sincerely over the years, you are his reborn parents, and the younger generation is so polite."
The second princess toasted and saluted.
This frightened Li Erzhu and Aunt Li, and the two of them hurriedly raised their wine glasses and drank them.
With a glass of wine in the stomach, the Li family also felt the sincerity of the second princess, so they gradually let go and were no longer so restrained.
After three rounds of drinking, a maid beside the second princess was beside her for a few words, and the second princess got up and arrived at Li Dazhu and his wife.
"Li Baifu, Aunt Li, I'm going to take Youran to say hello to the people outside in a while, you eat and drink well."
In this way, Li Youran nervously followed behind the second princess.
Li Youran is not afraid of the identity and background of this group of people, but that he doesn't want to come into contact with so many strangers.
Although she has participated in several lively occasions before, she is not the protagonist, so she just finds a corner to stay. But today is different, she has to deal with these people, so she is a little afraid in her heart.
"In a while, I'll let you call whatever you want, just don't call it anything. If you don't want to speak, you make a shy appearance and hide behind me. ”
The second princess took Li Youran's hand and patted it gently, and said with a smile.
With the comfort of the second princess, Li Youran's psychological defense line was much stronger, so he simply followed the second princess generously and went out to say hello.
"These two are Mrs. Wu of the Vice-Chancellor Mansion, and the second lady."
"The eldest lady is good, the second lady is good."
Li leisurely saluted.
Her eyes swept over Second Mrs. Wu, thinking that this should be Wu Yong's mother!
