The next day, Li Qingyi returned to Li's mansion early.

"Second aunt, isn't the second uncle Mu Xiu today? Why aren't you at home?"

Ruan said: "After your aunt and grandfather died of illness, only your aunt and cousin were left in the family, and your second uncle has always wanted to take them over and settle down, but your aunt and grandmother don't want to trouble us, but recently she is not in good health, and your cousin and aunt wrote to her, saying that she wanted to find a good doctor in the capital to see. They'll be here this afternoon, and your second uncle will pick them up."

Li Qingyi was a little stunned for a while, "Cousin?"

Seeing her dazed, Ruan Shi said angrily, "Your grandmother is just a little sister, and her daughter is your father's cousin, so of course you have to call your cousin." But it's no wonder you don't know, even I haven't seen her."

Li Qingyi nodded, there didn't seem to be such a thing as a cousin going to Beijing to join her in her previous life.

But it's relieved to think about her.

In the previous life, the Wei family was secretly stumbling, and the second uncle not only failed to enter the palace to see the emperor, but also got into trouble with officials, and his family had a lot of troubles, how could relatives come to defect!

"I remember my aunt and grandmother, who are very different in age from her grandmother, and she is only in her forties now, right?"

Ruan nodded, "Your aunt and grandmother were almost brought up by your grandmother, saying that she was a younger sister, but she was like a daughter, but she married far away, and she could only exchange letters, when your grandmother was dying, she wanted her to come and see her, but who knew that her husband also died of illness at that time, so the two didn't even see each other for the last time." Her daughter has also delayed her family affairs because of her filial piety, and now she is in her twentieth year, and I guess the reason why your aunt and grandmother came to the capital is not only to see a doctor, but also to worry about your cousin's family affairs."

Speaking of family affairs, Li Qingyi immediately became vigilant.

With Mrs. Wei's scheming in advance, she has been very wary of the women who appear next to her second uncle recently.

This cousin is the second uncle's cousin.

Wei Baozhu just failed, and the second uncle's cousin came to defect, isn't it a bit too coincidental?

As soon as Li Qingyi said this idea, Ruan Shi smiled and said, "You little brain, are you thinking too much. Your aunt and grandmother are very similar to your grandmother, and she is the most kind and reasonable, how can she come to harm us!"

Li Qingyi nodded, "I hope so."

"By the way, is there something wrong with you coming back so early?"

Li Qingyi pulled Ruan Shi into the room and told Mu Yuanchang about it behind closed doors.

Ruan Shi was taken aback, "Hiding in the Zhen family?"

"Yes, I don't know how I ended up in the Zhen family, I thought, let's find some reason to go to the Zhen family and find out."

Ruan Shi thought for a while and said, "This is also easy to do, the New Year will be celebrated in a few days, and I have prepared gifts for the people who often come and go, and I have prepared a copy for the Zhen Mansion, and those who come and go will definitely have a chance."

"It's okay, it's slower, but it's not easy to arouse suspicion."

The two agreed on the matter, and Ruan went to get busy.

After all, there are relatives who want to come to the door, and she has a bunch of things to do.

Since Li Qingyi caught up, he didn't go back to the Wei Mansion, staying and waiting to see his aunt and cousin.

"Chang Yan, you go to Jiang Shun and ask him to come over."

Jiang Shun didn't need to stare at Mu Yuanchang, he was worried that he had no errand, and when he heard that Li Qingyi was looking for him, he immediately came over.

"What do you command, girl?"

"My second uncle's cousin is going to Beijing with my aunt and grandmother. So I want you to go to their house and ask if anything unusual has happened."

"The girl's aunt and cousin...... They are all relatives, is the girl too careful?"

"Although it is said to be my own relative, but be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Ship at such a critical time, I have to guard against it."

Wei Shicheng has already begun to make a fuss about her family affairs, and Mrs. Wei has failed to calculate the Li family once, and there may not be a next time, she will not wait for another three years or two years, maybe she will have another plan if she can't make a plan?

"Moreover, the second aunt said that my cousin is an old woman in the family, and she is very favored, so her heart is a little high, and she can't look down on any of the family things she says, plus the filial piety has been delayed for three years, and now

It's already twenty years old, and I'm an old girl. If you see my second uncle, grass grows in your heart?"

Li Qingyi admits that he is a bit of a soldier, but who knows what the Wei family's nest of crazy people will do, it is better to be careful than careless.

Jiang Shun nodded, "In this way, you should take precautions!"

"Well, this afternoon, people are going to enter Beijing, this thing has to be fast, you know?"

"Yes, the little ones will go immediately."

*****

The people of the capital are surplus, the 36 lines are prosperous, and the merchants and hawkers from far and near are in good order, and a prosperous scene.

Shen Nianzhen listened to the clatter of horses' hooves, opened the curtain to look at the bustling and lively in Beijing, and said excitedly: "Mother, I just said, we should have come to join my cousin a long time ago!"

The middle-aged woman she called her mother had a slight look on her face.

She is not too flamboyant and likes the hustle and bustle, and she feels that her mother and mother are not unable to get along in their hometown, but her daughter's lifelong events are really troublesome.

She said, "Your aunt is no longer there, and the Li family now only has your cousin and sister-in-law's family, so it's not good for us to stay long......

Shen Nianzhen interrupted Jiang's words impatiently, "Mother! We are not outsiders, so why bother to see outsiders like that! Besides, we didn't even come to visit my aunt when she passed away, and we always have to come to see it afterwards."

"You kid! I don't know what you're thinking!"

Jiang sighed, she had thought about asking her sister to choose a suitable family for her daughter, but before she could do so, she received the news that her sister was seriously ill, and then her husband died, and her daughter's family affairs were delayed.

"Your father and I have only had such a daughter as you when we are old, of course, I also want you to have a good home, and after this matter, I can rest assured to go underground to see your father."

Shen Nianzhen was not sad because of Jiang's babbling words, and said, "My cousin is an official in Beijing, so he can naturally help me find a good home!"

Jiang Shi knew her daughter, she frowned and said, "I know that you have a high heart and want to marry high, but you are not young now, and you can't be too picky, if your cousin has a suitable candidate, if not, we can't force it." Stay here for a few days, and then go home."

Speaking of family affairs, Shen Nianzhen's eyes were full of longing.

She half-poked her head out and looked out to see her cousin in the carriage in front of her......

She had never seen a man like her cousin.

Under the handsome and elegant appearance, that heart seemed to be too soft, and she murmured, "I don't know what kind of person my cousin is?"

When Jiang Shi heard what she said, she thought that she wanted her cousin-in-law to help Zhang Luo, and said with a smile: "I heard that your cousin-in-law is virtuous and gentle, and she is very filial, and your aunt will praise her every time she writes a letter.

Shen Nianzhen's eyes blinked, "Isn't my cousin from a merchant, what kind of lady is it?"

Jiang frowned, "You kid, why are you so polite! That's your cousin!"

Shen Nianzhen didn't make a sound, just looked at the rumbling cars outside, and spontaneously froze.
