The woman is in her thirties, and the dress of the official's wife is dignified and decent.

It was Zhou Bi's wife, and there was also a housekeeper who came with Mrs. Zhou.

There are two masters and servants, one is sitting and drinking tea, and the other is respectfully holding a makeup box behind him.

"Miss Li."

Seeing her enter the door, Mrs. Zhou stood up and smiled euphemistically, "It's rude to come uninvited." ”

Li Yan glanced at her in surprise, and then said politely, "The folk girl doesn't know that the lady is visiting, it's the folk girl's rudeness." ”

"Madame waited for a while, Rong Minnu cleaned her face, and then came to talk to Madame."

The little girl had just returned from the mountains, her face was drenched in a little sweat, and her clothes were stained with weeds, and she looked a little dirty.

can speak calmly, the attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, Mrs. Zhou nodded secretly in her heart.

Kumquat looked at them strangely, and went into the courtyard with the young lady.

Li Yan hurriedly washed her face and came out, and Kumquat stayed in the courtyard to pick herbs.

When the master and servant returned, the old shopkeeper went back.

Now there are only two masters and servants in the house, Li Yan and Mrs. Zhou, Li Yan got straight to the point, "Let Mrs. wait for a long time, I don't know what is the important matter for Mrs. to find her little girl?" ”

In the Zhou Mansion, the intersection between Li Yan and Mrs. Zhou can be counted on one hand.

At this moment, Mrs. Zhou deliberately came to look for her, and Li Yan was indeed a little surprised.

Mrs. Zhou felt a little presumptuous, coughed, and opened her mouth after consideration, "My mother's side sent some things over, and I think it's good." I brought some over, I don't know if the girl likes it or not? ”

Mama Wang smiled and presented the makeup box, "My wife has a heart, and Miss should not dislike it." ”

Li Yan was a little surprised, Zhou's door was actually to give her a gift, "No merit is not punished, Mrs. does not have to be like this." She politely declined.

In the face of the little girl's righteous words, Mrs. Zhou's face turned slightly red, and she said, "Actually, our lord wants to accept the girl as a righteous daughter, I don't know what the girl wants?" ”

Originally, Mrs. Zhou should not have mentioned it to the girl, but to her parents.

But at the moment, there was only one girl left in this family, and in order to show that their family attached importance to this matter, she had to come to the door in person and discuss with her.

"Oh?"

Li Yan raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a deep smile, "Madame is sure that Lord County Ling wants to accept me as a righteous daughter?" ”

"Then can there be a fake?" Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but smile.

For the sake of the little girl, the old man couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.

She hadn't cared so much about her son, and she could still be mistaken.

On the day of Xie Yu, as soon as Zhou Bi and Li Yan went out, she went to ask the old lady about it, and the old lady also praised her.

As for Zhou Bi, she didn't think to ask him at all, and she and the old lady have always been in charge of family affairs.

When Miss Li agrees, and then raises him, the old man is afraid that he will not be able to sleep with joy.

Unlike the slight apprehension when she came, Mrs. Zhou's face was now full of smiles.

I thought it was nine out of ten to be secure.

No, Li Yan refused as soon as she opened her mouth, "Madam, I can't accept this gift, it's better for you to go back and ask the county magistrate what he means." ”

Li Yan looked at Mrs. Zhou with a complicated expression, Zhou County couldn't hide from her, and if she wanted to accept her as a righteous daughter, she was afraid that it would be impossible in the next life, and the husband and wife obviously had not communicated.

Mrs. Zhou was a little stunned, and when she saw that Li Yan had something to say, she didn't force it, and went home full of doubts.

Kumquat picked up the medicine and came over, and when he saw that the master and servant were gone, he asked curiously.

"Come and take me as a righteous daughter." Li Yan said lightly.

Kumquat was taken aback when he heard this, and said silently, "The county magistrate has a really big heart. ”

Li Yan smiled, this wronged him.

Maybe Zhou Bi is at home at this moment, and he wants to faint to death.

Li Yan expected nothing bad when Mrs. Zhou went back and told Zhou Bi about it.

Zhou Bi almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and his face was even more ugly, "Who told you to do such a thing?" ”

"This is an unknown matter, sir, you love Miss Li so much."

Mrs. Zhou's face was stunned, and she sat down in front of the dresser and began to remove her jewelry.

Zhou Bi, "......"

He loves Miss Li,

He loves a fart.

"When did I say I loved her?"

Zhou Bi was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, paced to Mrs. Zhou's side, and said in a tough tone, "I can't tell you clearly, this matter is over, and I will not mention it again." ”

Mrs. Zhou was angry, threw her ear beads at will, turned her head and said, "The old lady also nodded when she knew about this matter, I went to the Xiangyao Hall to meet people in person, and made a promise, how can I say that I regret it now." I can't do this kind of self-defeating and untrustworthy thing. ”

"So, did I let you go?" In the face of his wife's unreasonable trouble, the corners of Zhou Bi's mouth twitched.

"You didn't let me go, but it was your daily words and deeds that made people misunderstand, and you can blame me."

"If you don't like it, why do you want to like it?"

"Master, I misbelieved you, it turns out that you are such a duplicitous person."

Mrs. Zhou has always been gentle, but this time she rarely lost her temper.

For more than ten years as a husband and wife, the two have never quarreled.

For Li Yan, it has affected the relationship between husband and wife.

Mrs. Zhou was so angry that she ignored him all night.

Zhou Bi was even more angry.

In the early morning of the second day, when she learned that Li Yan was at the old lady's place, Mrs. Zhou deliberately avoided it.

Before convincing the master, Mrs. Zhou had no face to see the little girl.

Since Zhou Bi was buried by the old lady, before the business trip in the past few days, he has rushed to the old lady's house to fulfill his filial piety.

Early in the morning, seeing Li Yan in the old mother's house, still smiling, Zhou Bi's anger came up.

The little madman hurt him so badly, but he was happy.

He will never agree to the matter of accepting a righteous girl.

I don't know how the little ancestor bewitched the lady, Xie Yu put his words there that day, and she still wanted to confess to him.

Li Yan saw him come over and got up and saluted, and Zhou Bi glanced at her coldly.

Look, she's eyes, not eyes, and noses aren't noses.

Li Yan personally made some osmanthus porridge today, put a few red dates in the porridge, and had breakfast with the old lady.

The old lady asked the little girl to give Zhou Bi a bowl, "Taste, Yan'er's craftsmanship is good." ”

Li Yan's skills are good, but Zhou Bi was depressed and had a poor appetite, so he took a few bites and put it down.

Li Yan actually came to find Zhou Bi to borrow someone this time, and when she saw this, she made her intention clear.

"What's the use of you borrowing so many people?" Zhou Bi asked absentmindedly.

"Go up the mountain to collect medicine."

Li Yan lowered her eyes, "I plan to make my own medicine, if only the two of us master and servant work, the speed is too slow." ”

The medicine in Yaoxiangtang was all donated, the shop was empty, Li Yan said that she would collect the medicine by herself, but Zhou Bi didn't think much about it.

I just feel that the little girl really treats him as her own son, and she comes to him for everything.

He owes her.

The fire in Zhou Bi's heart.

"Why, you can't afford this little thing?" The old lady was not happy when she saw that he had not spoken for a long time.

The old lady's face was unhappy, how dare Zhou Bi refuse, and said to the girl angrily, "Go to the government with me, you can choose how many people you want." ”

After Zhou Bi finished speaking, he was about to leave, Li Yan and the old lady said goodbye with a smile and followed behind him obediently.
