The officer and soldier guarding the city gate said, "You don't know Commander Li? He was the left commander of the Imperial Forest Army, named Li Shu, and was the only son of General Li Fang. ”

Ying'er had heard of Li Fang's name, but she didn't know much about it, so she wanted to go back and talk to Xianghua again, so she said: "Then please ask the eldest brother to convey a thank you to Commander Li, and we will visit another day." ”

Xianghua was a little worried that it was not the original one when she learned that the Russians had found it, but at a glance, she found that it was clearly the original one, and the wear marks in some places were still there.

"Did you really find it?" Xianghua held the hairpin in her heart and asked Ying'er with a smile how she found it.

Ying'er told the events of that day again, "I thought that person was just talking casually, but I didn't expect to really take this matter to heart." ”

Xianghua said: "Although this hairpin is not worth much in the eyes of outsiders, it is priceless to me and Taro, I want Yang Yu to thank Commander Li and visit him another day." ”

Ying'er said: "That's what I said. ”

Ying'er actually heard some news, including Xu Ruyu's grounding, but she thought about it for a while and felt that it was no good for Xianghua to know this, so she skipped it and didn't mention it.

At dinner, Xianghua happily told Yang Yu about the loss of the wooden hairpin, and also talked about Li Shu.

Yang Yu said: "Li Shu is a bit unique in the Imperial Forest Army, and I have seen it a few times, and I am deeply impressed. ”

Xianghua had never seen Li Shu, and when she heard that Ying'er and Yang Yu both spoke highly of him, she asked, "How is it unique?" ”

Yang Yu said: "Although it is difficult to say, but everyone knows the origin behind the Royal Forest Army, when it comes to real swords and real guns, they are still inferior to the outside, most of them are just from good families, but Li Shu is different, their Li family is famous and powerful, and Lord Zhu has always had dealings with the Li family." ”

Xianghua said: "Really? Can you take me to sit down? ”

Yang Yu said: "What are you going to do?" I just brought a gift to visit. ”

Xianghua: "You are allowed to meet new friends, and I am not allowed to meet them?" By the way, since Commander Li is General Li's only son, he thinks he is already married, right? ”

Yang Yu was silent for a while and said, "It's just that this thing is a little bad, otherwise the threshold of the Li family would have to be broken by the matchmaker." ”

Xianghua put down her chopsticks and asked softly, "What's wrong?" Don't you say that Li Shu is a good person? ”

Yang Yu didn't eat it either, and said: "Commander Li is naturally a good person, but things are unfortunate, this Li Shu was originally married to someone, but the girl suddenly died when she reached the age of Jilu, and there were rumors in the market that he rejected his wife, so the daughters of some good people did not dare to marry, and some Li families with other intentions naturally did not look down on it." ”

Ying'er said softly: "How can he reject his wife? ”

Yang Yu also nodded and said, "It's just nonsense." ”

Xianghua asked, "I don't know how old this Master Li is now?" ”

Yang Yu thought for a moment, "It's about twenty-five or six." ”

Mama Wang shook her head on the side and said, "At this age, it's too late to get married." The Li family didn't think of any way? ”

"Of course, the Li family didn't sit still, but Li Shu himself seemed to feel guilty, and he was not enthusiastic about Zhang Luo's family affairs at home, and he came and went, and it dragged on until now."

Xianghua said: "This Lord Li shouldn't have been trapped by this rumor, since he helped me find the hairpin, I should also relieve his worries, and wait for me to think of ideas." ”

Yang Yu smiled, took a sip of soup, and mentioned another thing: "I heard from my eldest brother today that one of our distant relatives in Zhangzhou was seriously ill and wanted to come to the capital for medical treatment. ”

Xianghua snorted and asked, "What do you say?" ”

"The disease seems to be contagious, and the eldest brother is not worried about Guagua, and he doesn't want them to live in the house. Naturally, I didn't want to do it on our side, so I thought it would be better to rent a room for them at the inn and go over from time to time to take a look. ”

Xianghua nodded and said, "You can just watch it." ”

After two days, Xianghua went to Zhu Jinxiu to talk about her plan to visit Li's mansion, and Zhu Jinxiu also talked about the rumors of Li Shuke's wife.

"You don't know how far this rumor has secretly spread, and it is said that all daughters who have not left the cabinet must not go to the Li Mansion, otherwise the marriage will not be good."

Xianghua frowned and said, "Are these people really reckless when they speak?" What is the benefit of tying a good person like this? ”

Zhu Jinxiu nodded and said, "Who said it wasn't?" ”

Xianghua said: "But people's words are terrifying, you and Zhao Xu's family affairs are imminent, if it is inconvenient to go, it is nothing, I can go over myself." ”

Zhu Jinxiu glared for a moment, and said categorically: "How can that be?" If I don't go because of these words, isn't that the implementation of these words? I'm hard-standing, I'm not afraid! ”

Xianghua smiled: "Then you should talk to your father." ”

Zhu Jinxiu said: "They have the same mind as me, there is nothing to ask, let's go!" ”

Although the Li Mansion is also a high-ranking family, it is obviously more deserted than the other generals' mansions, Ying'er knocked on them for a while, and then a small servant opened the door and apologized and said that he didn't expect someone to come to visit at this time.

Xianghua and Zhu Jinxiu naturally did not have the same knowledge as it, and after explaining their intentions, the little maid led a few people to the house.

General Li was not there, Mrs. Li was in the back room, and Li Shu had not yet arrived at the time to return.

After the little maid reported to a big girl, the big girl went in first to reply, and then came to invite Xianghua and the others to go in.

Mrs. Li was wearing a rust-red gown and an ink-colored long skirt, and her appearance was beautiful, but as soon as she saw Zhu Jinxiu, she got up and said, "Jinxiu, why are you here now?" ”

Zhu Jinxiu smiled: "Can't you come over to see you if you have nothing to do?" ”

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "That's naturally good," and then turned to Xianghua and asked, "This is ......?"

Xianghua saluted her and said with a smile: "I am the wife of Yang Yu, the squire of the military department. I came here today because I lost something when I attended the princess's night banquet that day, but fortunately, with the help of Commander Li, I was able to find the lost property, so I specially came to thank him. ”

When Mrs. Li heard this, she smiled and said, "It turned out to be Mrs. Shilang." ”

Xianghua nodded and smiled at her again, and asked Ying'er to bring the gift she brought, Mrs. Li had seen a lot of rare treasures, thinking that this matter was just a gesture, so she politely declined the gift, and only said that she had received it.

Xianghua sincerely wanted to thank her, but in the end, Zhu Jinxiu helped persuade Mrs. Li to accept the things.

Zhu Jinxiu asked, "When will Brother Li come back?" It should be soon, right? ”

Mrs. Li smiled reluctantly: "What do you ask him for?" You also know that he refuses to meet the female guest easily. ”
