Chapter 11: The Feast
The Li Mansion was wide, and the maid came out of the banquet room, turned to the east, and passed through an east-west hall.
In the middle is the hall, on both sides are the verandah, carved beams and painted buildings, and lanterns of various colors are hung on the crossbars.
In the middle of the hall was a huge rosewood screen, and as she walked around it, her face suddenly opened up.
A path is paved with stones under the steps, and it is surrounded by scattered rockeries and green bamboos.
The pavilions on both sides are exquisite, and a white jade bridge runs through the clear pond in the middle, and the winter wind is rustling, and the surrounding bamboo is blown rustling.
"You have a good idea!" Lin Wangshu and Li Yuan sat in a small pavilion at the front of the pool, planning how to further open up the market in the future.
After some discussion between the two just now, the "business empire" has already taken shape.
The maidservant crossed the white jade bridge, shrunk in the wind, and looked up to see two people sitting on the steps of the pavilion not far away.
One pink and one red, the girl in pink put her hands in her sleeves, leaning on the arms of the person next to her, obviously shivering from the cold, but her eyes were clear, her eyebrows were crooked, and she was excitedly saying something to the woman in red on the side.
And the woman in red put one hand against her chin, and the other hand wrapped around the neck of the person next to her, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, as if she was thinking, but the next second she was amused by the person next to her.
"Good fellow, how can you come up with so many strange things in your little head?" It was Lin Wangshu and Li Iri, who were undoubtedly the two of them, Li Kite listened to Lin Wangshu's words and gave her a thumbs up on the spot.
I have to say that Lin Wangshu still has a set of careers, and the two of them have even planned to buy a small yard in the suburbs for many years, with all kinds of flowers in the garden, and a few reclining chairs and swings, which is simply a fairy day.
The two were chatting here, and the maid hurriedly ran to the pavilion and saluted the two, "Miss, Miss Lin, the banquet has passed for most of the time, and Madame is looking for you to go back." ”
The two glanced at each other, and Li Kite said to the maidservant in front of him: "I know, you go back first, and we will arrive later." ”
When the maidservant heard this, she saluted again and went out of the pavilion first.
"Then let's prepare first as we just said?" Lin Wangshu looked at Li Kite and confirmed again, "Kris, whether we can become rich women or not depends on you." ”
Li Yuan rubbed her face, her eyebrows and eyes were arbitrary: "Don't worry, I'm a professional when it comes to this." ”
After that, he took Lin Wangshu's hand and prepared to go back, Lin Wangshu stopped for a moment, Li Kite didn't pull, she turned around and saw Lin Wangshu take out a few tomatoes and handed them to her.
“? Do. Li Kite was confused.
Lin Wangshu smiled lightly at her, "I'm afraid you'll be hungry these days, so I'll give you a relief." ”
Li Iris's face was full of black lines, but fortunately, she wore wide clothes in winter, and it was more than enough to hide a few tomatoes.
Lin Wangshu saw that she calmly put the tomato in her sleeve, and couldn't help but take out a few more pomegranates.
It wasn't until Li Iris's two sleeves were stuffed to protest at her that Lin Wangshu stopped the idea of continuing to stuff things.
The two of them hurried to the banquet hall in the cold wind.
Unlike the cold outside, the charcoal fire in the house was vigorous, and people gathered together, and the two stepped into the house, only to feel that the spring flowers were blooming, and the warmth was terrible.
The two of them each glanced at Jiang and Mrs. Li, and found that they were talking about something, and they were smiling at this time.
Immediately they sat side by side again, talking about unnutritious trash talk.
On the way back, Li Yuan brought the veil again, although she always thought that the original owner's catastrophe was her, and she didn't have to shy away from it, but there were too many people now, and Mrs. Li must have nagged when she saw it, so she still honestly took it until tomorrow.
The melon peel left by the two of them before was also packed up and temporarily placed in the space, and Lin Wangshu had a chance to take it out and throw it away.
Li is the youngest daughter of General Li and Mrs. Li, and she has two older brothers.
But she said she had never met the two brothers.
The eldest brother Li Wence is stationed in Jingzhou and is not seen once a year.
The second brother Li Wenjian, who has ambitions and foresight, likes to travel around, and is determined to see the thousands of rivers and mountains in the world, and write a book of what he sees and hears, so it is not common at the end of the year. So Li Kite became the treasure of the Li family's pet on the tip of the heart.
And because when she was a child, a master calculated a hexagram that said that there was a catastrophe in her life, and she was even more precious on weekdays, and most people didn't know what her name was, how old she was now, not to mention that she had been wearing a veil, and someone had seen her appearance.
Lin Wangshu said that she would come to Li's house to play with her whenever she had the opportunity in the future, and the moved Li Kite almost wiped her tears.
And here Mrs. Li and the Jiang family also met late, the two chatted from the beginning to the end of the banquet, and when the Jiang family and Lin Wangshu returned home, Mrs. Li also went out to send it off.
She took Jiang's hand with some reluctance, "Peiwen, if you are free in the future, we will often talk together or go out for a walk." ”
Jiang also felt that Mrs. Li had an appetite for herself, and she was a little reluctant to nod at the moment, and the two turned their heads to see Lin Wangshu and Li Iris pulling and pulling together, quite unwilling to separate.
"Look at these two children, they are really destined." Mrs. Li pointed to the side, and Jiang couldn't help but smile when she saw the small movements of the two: "Wangshu is about the same age as Ah Kite, there should be many topics." ”
Li Iris took Lin Wangshu's hand and looked at her with a blank look: "You must come to me when you are free, and if I can go out, I must go to you first." ”
"Don't worry, Iris, I'll come and play with you whenever I'm free." Lin Wangshu took Li Iris's hand and shook it.
Seeing that it was getting late, the two reluctantly said goodbye.
Watching the carriage go away, Li Kite couldn't help but sigh.
Mrs. Li rubbed her hair and said softly: "I see that you are very close to the Lin family, if you are really reluctant, you can hand over the post in a few days and invite her out to play." ”
Li Kite was pleasantly surprised by this sentence: "Can I go out?" But my aunt didn't let me go out before, and even the manuscript was submitted for me. ”
It's been almost a month since she came to this world, but she can't leave the house at all except for wearing a veil every day. Now Mrs. Li said that it was a big surprise to be able to let her out.
"Originally, you were not yet fifteen years old, and the master said that you couldn't leave the house before fifteen, and you couldn't show your true face, so Daddy and Auntie didn't worry about you going out."
She shaved Li Kite's nose and said in a doting tone: "To be honest, the master also said that you will go to a place far away from home after the fifteen-year-old catastrophe, I was still guessing why?" ”
"Is my kite marrying far? There are still other unavoidable reasons, but now, A-Niang has figured it out, whether you will have that day or not, A-Niang only hopes that you will be happy and healthy. ”
Listening to these words, Li Kite had some mixed feelings in her heart, she was not their daughter, their daughter may have died, or she may have gone to another world.
She and Lin Wangshu grew up in a welfare home, but she was adopted when she was in middle school, and the relationship between her adoptive father and adoptive mother was not good, and she often quarreled and fought coldly.
But now in the face of these words, she is really moved, coming here for more than a month, the Li family's love for the original owner she sees in her eyes, she feels for the first time that it is a happy thing to have a family and be loved by others.
Lin Wangshu closed his eyes in the carriage, his brows furrowed slightly, and by the way, he thought about his next plan after returning home.
"Are you still reluctant to part with your Li sister?" Jiang looked at her like this, and thought that she was still immersed in the reluctance to part with Li Yuan, and couldn't help but tease.
"Do you remember that you were so nervous and sweaty when you first arrived, I really didn't expect this to be reluctant to go."
Lin Wangshu was slightly embarrassed, the little girl was a little embarrassed, her cheeks were slightly red, her apricot eyes widened, and she hummed in a low voice, "Auntie knows how to make fun of me." ”
Jiang was so cute by her that he was about to pinch her face, when he got closer and found that Lin Wangshu's sleeve was dyed red. "Wangshu, what are you getting on these cuffs? How to redden? ”
Lin Wangshu's clothes today are mainly pink and white, and the cuffs and necklines are sewn with a thick layer of fur, she looked down at the cuffs, and the white fur was stained with pomegranate juice.
Jiang stared at the trace for a long time, but he didn't see any reason.
Lin Wangshu was a little weak-hearted, and said to the Jiang family, "It's okay Auntie, I gave a can of freshly made lip balm to Iris today, I'm afraid it was stained when I tried the color." ”
She observed the Jiang family's expression as she spoke, but fortunately, her aunt didn't think much about it, and when she heard her say this, she nodded and stopped staring.
Lin Wangshu breathed a sigh of relief, but this sleeve may have to be dismantled, as we all know that pomegranate juice is not easy to wash, not to mention that this is an ancient time when materials are scarce.
It's a pity that this fur is quite fond of it.
