After the Zeng brothers rested in Bianjing for two days, they were about to leave Bianjing early to go to work, Li Hao said goodbye to the Zeng brothers before going to the government, and ordered the people in the house to send each other to the city gate.

After the Zeng brothers left, Li Hao was idle again. Ouyang Xiu was still coordinating the matter of the polo field, Li Hao was urging as usual, but the progress was slow, and he didn't know if he could catch up with Gu Tingye's preparations.

After this leisure, Li Hao found that he didn't seem to have many friends in Bianjing now.

Now that the eldest lady in the family of the senior brother Yan Fu has just given birth to a sister-in-law, Li Hao specially went to give a gift, and made an appointment to wait for the full moon wine to go, and after that, it is not good to find Yan Fu again.

As for his colleagues in Kaifeng Mansion, Judge Cai of the same level has never looked down on Li Hao and has never intersected too much. Those people under him are not good at interacting too closely in private, and since Ouyang Xiu reminded him, Li Hao didn't want to get too familiar with these people, so as not to make it difficult to start in the future.

After this calculation, Li Hao didn't have many acquaintances in Bianjing City for a while, and he wanted to make an appointment with Gu Tingye, but then he thought that Gu Tingye estimated that it was the time to be busy, so he didn't bother, and the provincial people had to help him work.

So I went to Shengfu to visit, and by the way, I came to see if there was anything lively in Shengfu recently.

When Li Hao arrived, just in time for the Sheng family and the whole family to talk to the old lady in Shou'an Hall, Li Hao was also led in.

After Li Hao entered Shou'an Hall, he saw the old lady and Sheng Hong sitting on both sides of the Luohan table, on the left sat Mrs. Wang, Rulan, Mo Lan, and Minglan in turn, and on the right Changbai and Changfeng were sitting.

After greeting the old lady again, Li Hao greeted Sheng Hong, Mrs. Wang and the three Lan in turn, and then sat down under Sheng Changfeng.

After Li Hao sat down, he asked, "I don't know what the old lady said to everyone, I am so happy, I heard laughter outside the hospital." ”

Hearing what Li Hao said, Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Isn't this Changbai going to get married, we are talking about this." ”

After hearing this, Li Hao said: "That's happy, the four joys of life, a long drought and a sweet rain, a foreign country to meet old acquaintances, a candle night in the cave room, and the title of the gold list." Cousin Changbai is happy this year, and double happiness is coming. ”

As soon as Li Hao finished saying this, he greeted everyone's eyes, and among them, Mrs. Wang just felt very happy and a little happy. The rest of Rulan had no interest in this and didn't care; Minglan took a special look, and naturally turned her gaze; The rest of Mo Lan and Changfeng looked very interested when they heard it, as if they wanted to say something, but when they heard Sheng Hong speak, they didn't speak.

After listening to it, Sheng Hong pondered it a few times in his mouth, and said: "Although this poem is not full of literary brilliance, it is extremely accurate to summarize the joy of the world, which shows that the virtuous nephew is talented, and the export is a good sentence." ”

After hearing this, Li Hao hurriedly said modestly: "Uncle praised it falsely, and the little nephew only felt something, so he just said it casually, and he didn't have much ability." ”

After finishing speaking, I thought to myself, it's too early for you to boast, and I can memorize a lot of poems that you don't know.

However, Li Hao is modest here, but Sheng Changbai on the other side helped Li Hao boast: "Actually, a few days ago, my cousin also made a couplet, which is very good. ”

After hearing this, Sheng Hong said to Li Hao: "Oh, what kind of couplet did that day, so that Bai'er praised it so much, I think it must be extraordinary, it is better to listen to it today." ”

After Li Hao heard this, he said the couplet of that day: "The edge of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." ”

After hearing this, Sheng Hong said: "This sentence is really well written, growing up in continuous tempering, and overcoming difficulties will definitely be able to achieve something." In this way, it is inspiring and guiding people to work hard, and the virtuous nephew is well-intentioned. ”

After hearing this, Li Hao really reluctantly accepted the praise, but he couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurriedly turned the topic to Sheng Changbai.

said: "Cousin Changbai's marriage is too good, the Hai family is a family and five Hanlin, this time the two families are married, I heard that many officials and eunuchs in Bianjing are envious." ”

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was very happy. said with a smile: "That's Changbai is outstanding and talented, when I went to the Hai family to see each other, the Hai family fell in love at a glance, I don't know how satisfied I am." ”

Everyone was quite happy to hear this, but what Mrs. Wang said next was not very popular.

I only heard Mrs. Wang say again: "It's a pity that Yun'er, my mother's sister's family, is good in appearance and temperament." As he spoke, he looked at Li Hao and asked, "Brother Hao is now also on the gold list, and there are people who are looking at each other later." ”

Hearing this, the old lady in Shou'an Hall, Sheng Hong, and Li Hao all changed their faces. Li Hao didn't know what the other two people thought, but Li Hao thought: I don't want to get involved in the Kang family's tiger and wolf den, especially Aunt Kang, who is both shallow and cold-hearted, and has a headache when she looks at it.

Hurriedly said: "It's not yet, but Mrs. Xue said that she could help me see some people in Bianjing, but my mother didn't go back to Yangzhou, so I thought I'd wait for my mother to come back and talk about it." ”

Mrs. Wang didn't understand what Li Hao meant, but said: "This is also true, after all, your parents are the matchmaker, and your marriage is still your mother's decision after all." Well, when your mother returns to Bianjing, I'll ask your mother to have a look, maybe it's appropriate. ”

Hearing this, Li Hao's heart frowned, thinking that I said that someone would help each other, and you don't need to do much trouble, you can't hear it, and it is too much if you have to go up, and I was thinking about how to refuse.

I heard the old lady speak and relieved Li Hao, and the old lady said, "Okay, don't talk about this." Brother Hao's marriage is naturally decided by his mother, and it is not our turn to talk. It's not a few days since Changbai got married, and everything is complicated, and the eldest lady has to work a lot. ”

Then he said to Li Hao: "Speaking of your mother, after she returned to Yangzhou, there was news coming back, saying that she came back to Bianjing." ”

After hearing this, Li Hao replied: "There is no news yet, but according to the original plan, because there are more things after all, it will take at least two months to come back." ”

After hearing this, the old lady said: "Speaking of which, I am also quite close to your mother, and after your mother, you tell her to let her come to Shou'an Hall to chat with me." ”

When Li Hao heard this, although he was a little curious, he didn't know when his mother would be able to talk to the old lady, and he felt very strange.

But he had to take the conversation, so he said, "Okay, when my mother returns, I will definitely pass on the old lady's words." ”

After hearing this, the old lady nodded, and then said, "I am also tired today, and I want to rest for a while, so you can go and get busy yourself." ”

After listening to the old lady's words, everyone in the hall got up to bid farewell to the old lady.

Li Hao didn't want to stay in the Sheng family after leaving Shou'an Hall, so he left like Sheng Hong and went back to his house.

After Li Hao left, Sheng Hong deliberately went back to Wei Ruixuan with Mrs. Wang, and then said: "Why do you want to mention Yun'er in front of Li Hao today, what are you going to do, do you think the old lady can't see it?" ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang immediately retorted: "What can I do, I wanted Changbai to marry Yun'er, but you didn't agree."

Now that Li Hao has not looked at others, what is the problem with me introducing Yun'er to him. It is said that the Kang family is also an official family, and Li Hao should always say it in the past. ”

After hearing this, Sheng Hong said: "You and I know what is going on inside the Kang family. Let Li Hao marry Kang Yun'er, isn't this a complaint for himself.

And you can't see the old lady's thoughts, she's afraid that she has already figured out how to arrange it, so she has to interject. ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang thought for a while and said: "You said that the old lady wanted Li Hao to marry Minglan , but Minglan is a concubine after all, no matter what Li Hao says, he is also a tanhualang, and their family can agree." ”

After hearing this, Sheng Hong said: "You care so much, his housewife is Minglan 's aunt, why can't you agree to kiss and kiss."

And even if he doesn't marry Minglan , the girls in our family will look at each other at that time.

Now that the Li family relies on the soap business, it can be regarded as a rich family, Li Hao has been hit by Tanhua early, and there is the support of Lord Ouyang in the court, and the future is bright, isn't it good for our girl to marry in the past. ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang said with some hesitation: "Did you say Rulan, then his family is from the market after all, if Rulan marries in the past, it will inevitably be a little low-marrying." ”

When Sheng Hong heard this, he immediately said angrily: "You have such a big face now, you can't even look down on Tanhualang." Okay, I'd like to see who you're looking for in the end. ”

After speaking, he didn't want to talk to Mrs. Wang, so he simply got up and ran to Lin Qi Pavilion to find Lin Xiaoniang.

On the other side, Li Hao, who came out of the Sheng Mansion, didn't know that Sheng Hong still had such thoughts, and was sitting in his own carriage and going home.

As he was halfway there, he suddenly heard Fu Deng say: "Young Master, is that the maid Xiao Tao next to Miss Biao, why is she talking to people here." ”
