Chapter 102: Burning Incense
"Ahh
An exclamation came from across the screen, but it was Shi Nai's words that fell into the ears of the little girl Xiangyun. Immediately, the woman coughed lightly, and Li Weijian caught a glimpse of a red dress behind the screen and sat down in an orderly manner.
Li Weijian smiled and arched his hand at Shi Nai: "Since Uncle Shi has ordered, the little nephew will do it." ”
"That's fine."
The banquet dispersed, the female dependents turned from the back door to play in the garden at the back, the screen and the banquet were removed, the tea was served in the hall, Li Weijian and Shi Ding and Shi Nai, the two marquis, sat down, and talked about the court and politics after gossiping.
Discussing the government is naturally inseparable from changing the law, and now Chen Hongmou is in charge of the cabinet, although he has not listed specific articles, but the ancient and modern changes are nothing more than that set.
One is to clear the land, the second is to rectify the official system, the third is to repair the military equipment inside, the outside to resist the strong enemy, the fourth is to build water conservancy, silt the good field, this is the meaning of the change of the law in the past dynasties. The most important thing is to see if Chen Hongmou practices the whip method like Zhang Juzheng in the previous Ming Dynasty, so that he will touch the root of the gentry.
Although Shi Ding and Shi Nai are brothers, their opinions are completely different. Shi Ding, who was trusted by the saint, was not interested in changing the law, but Shi Nai, the Marquis of Baoling, was quite eager to try it in his words.
Li Weijian listened a lot and said little, looking at the two brothers and thinking to himself. It's also weird, why is Shi Ding so uninterested in changing the law?
Just thinking about it, he saw Shi Ding glance over and look at those clear eyes, Li Weijian felt something. Tsk, this Zhongjing Marquis is only afraid that it is not much worse than the teacher Yan Xiyao.
After thinking about it, Shi Ding has already become famous and has been made a marquis, where is the need to mix it into the mud of the law? On the contrary, it was Shi Nai, Li Weijian couldn't hold what this person was thinking for a while.
Halfway through, the housekeeper's mother-in-law came in to report that Xiangyun's frame had already been prepared, and Li Weijian got up to say goodbye.
Shi Ding sent his own nephew to send Li Weijian out, and when he went out, he saw an oil-walled car parked behind his carriage.
Li Weijian was about to pass, and when he saw the curtain raised, he revealed Xiangyun's elated little face: "Fourth brother Jian, let's go quickly!" ”
"Okay."
Seeing that Li Weijian turned around to get into the carriage of Rongguo Mansion, Xiangyun shouted: "Fourth brother Jian, there are relatives on the left and right, why don't you come to me, you can still talk on the way." ”
The maid Cui Wei hurriedly whispered, but Xiangyun didn't care: "What are you afraid of?" Aren't you still in the car? ”
Li Weijian said with a smile: "Farewell, the car is cramped, I'm afraid I won't be able to sit down." ”
Xiangyun didn't insist, but just urged: "Then let's go quickly." ”
Li Weijian got into the carriage and immediately returned to Rongguo Mansion. Along the way, I could hear Xiangyun's laughter from time to time on the frame behind me.
Delicate and straightforward, it seems appropriate for a girl with such a temperament to marry? It's a pity that he is too young.
The frame arrived at the Derong Mansion, and the oil-walled car behind it called the door to enter, and just stopped in front of the Yimen, and as soon as he was dressed in red, he opened the curtain and jumped down, shook off the accompanying maid Cuiwi, and giggled and shouted while running: "Aunt and grandmother, I'm here!" ”
Li Weijian couldn't help but look at it, and just hoped that the little girl would be so carefree when she grew up. He was just about to return to his courtyard when another carriage came in.
The frame stopped, and it was Su Yun and Biyue who came down first, caught a glimpse of Li Weijian, and hurriedly said to Li Kun in the car: "Grandma, the fourth master of Jian has just come back." ”
Li Kun got out of the car, looked at Li Weijian with a smile and said, "Brother Jian'er, where have you gone?" ”
"I went to the Zhongjing Marquis Mansion and took Xiangyun by the way."
Li Kun walked over and said: "Xiangyun loves to be lively, look at it, some of it has been noisy these days." ”
The two walked side by side, and Li Kun said: "I haven't asked in the past few days, how is Brother Jian'er's homework reviewing?" ”
"It's all in the chest."
"Heh, it's good that Brother Jian has an idea, in the future, I won't just ask about this homework." After a pause, Li Kun lowered his voice and said, "Yesterday, I was going to see Brother Jian'er, but I didn't expect Baochai to find him and talk for a while." ”
"Huh? Miss Xue is looking for a big sister? After asking, Li Weijian smiled and said, "Isn't it because you want the eldest sister to introduce her to the county lord?" ”
Li Kun squinted at him and said, "Don't say it." I guess that's what I'm thinking. ”
Baochai wants to be selected, don't think about it, the princess and the female official next to the county lord have to plan carefully, once selected, they can add some halo to themselves, and in the future, they will be able to raise their own value. As for entering the palace as a palace maid, didn't you see that Yuan Chun has been grinding for more than ten years to have this situation? Where can the Xue family afford to wait?
"Big sister didn't agree, right?" He asked.
Li Weijian said: "How many days have I been the female gentleman of the county lord?" How can you dare to accept such a thing at will? ”
"That's good."
Li Kun said with a smile: "She looked for me twice, and when she saw that I didn't leak anything, I was afraid that she would turn her head and look for a thrifty brother again." ”
Li Weijian smiled and was speechless. When it is forward, not backward, he wants to see what Baochai is looking for and come to him again.
The two sisters and brothers laughed all the way, turned all the way to the back building of Rongxi Hall in Yimen, and sent Li Kun back to his residence first, and Li Weijian came out of the corner gate to return to his small courtyard.
As soon as Fang entered the hospital, Hongyu greeted him and said, "The fourth master is back, and Miss Fang Caibao is here." ”
"Huh?" Baochai is really here. Li Weijian asked, "Sister Xue is looking for me?" ”
Hongyu shook his head and said: "I only sent two packs of Longjing before the rain, but I didn't say anything about it, and when I saw that the fourth master was not there, I left after a while." ”
Oh, I see, this is burning incense first, and then worshipping the Buddha.
It's also difficult for Baochai, the girl's family, for the sake of the Xue family, gave up face, and came to him several times to beg him Li Weijian. It was easy to get an idea, Xue Pan's matter came to an end for the time being, and he turned his head and found that the county lord who was diligently seeking Zanshan was actually able to do it with his Li Weijian's casual words.
I don't know if Sister Bao's 'Ren is ruthless and moving' mental method will be broken again.
"Is there anything else going on?"
Hongyu said: "No, the whole house has stopped today." ”
"That's good." Li Weijian arrived in the main room, changed his clothes first, and then ordered the red jade to accompany him, and walked towards the courtyard where the second girl welcomed spring.
Yesterday, Mrs. Xing seemed to have peeled off the face of Yingchun and threw it on the ground to step on, she was already weak, but she was afraid that she would have to be more careful this time. It's because Li Weijian always has to go to visit.
The second girl has such a temperament, she can't be a wife, and it's still excellent to be a concubine.
All the way around the East Courtyard, in a blink of an eye to the Spring Festival Courtyard, seeing the peach blossoms scorching, Li Weijian picked one. The courtyard door was open, and Si Qi was drying his clothes.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned his head and glanced at it, and Si Qi's eyes suddenly showed joy.
"Girl, the fourth master is here to see you."
With a shout, Si Qi greeted Li Weijian and led him in. Li Weijian just crossed the threshold, and saw Yingchun coming out from the inside.
He glanced at it and saw that Yingchun's face was slightly haggard, showing that he had not slept peacefully last night. She looked at him with a mixture of anticipation and embarrassment.
Li Weijian smiled and arched his hand: "Second sister, I'll take a look." ”
"Brother Thrifty." Yingchun bent down to return the salute, and when he got up, he blushed and didn't know what to say.
Xiu Tang hurriedly said: "Girl, please sit down with the fourth master." ”
"Well," she said in a weak voice, "Brother Frugal, you, you sit." ”
Li Weijian opened his robe and sat down, supported the table with one hand and looked at Yingchun and said: "I made a fuss yesterday, and the second sister must be in a bad mood, but I don't know how to comfort this matter." ”
Yingchun shook his head with a bitter face. With such a father and stepmother, what can she do? Don't say it's her, even Jia's mother can't do anything.
Seeing this, Si Qi said: "Our girl is afraid of life, we are all afraid that we will not be able to speak here, I think we should go out and play naughty, let the fourth master and the girl have a good talk." ”
With that, Si Qi pulled the red jade and walked out. Xiu Tang also covered his mouth and smiled and followed behind, and in a blink of an eye, only Li Weijian and Yingchun were left in the room.
Contrary to what Si Qi said, there was no one else at this time, and the second girl became more and more at a loss how to speak, so she only cramped into the corner of her clothes, hanging her head and not daring to raise it.
The previous embarrassment, inferiority, and self-pity have long been replaced by shyness. She remembered that when the two were alone that day, Li Weijian took her hand unscrupulously.
Li Weijian was secretly proud when he saw this, and said in a low voice: "Second sister, why don't we go in and play two games of chess?" ”
"I, I ......"
didn't allow her to refuse, Li Weijian had already gotten up, and when he reached in front of her, he pulled her hand, so the words of refusal were held back.
After walking two steps, before entering the inner room, Li Weijian felt that the weak and boneless hand was clenched back, and when he turned his head, he saw Yingchun looking at herself with affection and sweetness, and when she met her sight, she turned her head away shyly.
Li Weijian wondered in his heart, and when the two of them sat next to each other at the table, Yingchun said: "This is the case...... You...... Brother Frugal never hated me? ”
I see, the spring party is inferior.
Li Weijian smiled, lightly took a look, and pulled Yingchun over in an exclamation, then put his arms on his shoulders, and said softly: "I told the second sister a long time ago, the eldest master is the eldest master, and the second sister is the second sister." ”
The girl was so ashamed that she didn't know what to do, and it took a long time for her to respond in a muffled voice.
He added: "I won't abandon the second sister left or right, the second sister can rest assured." ”
Li Weijian's words were soft and unquestionable, but he softened Yingchun's heart, and his body seemed to have no strength. Fang Cai was still holding his figure, but this time it was completely attached to Li Weijian's shoulder.
There is a saying that 'there is a master and there must be a servant', that Si Qi was born tall and plump, and although the two girls were not tall in the spring, their bodies were extremely rich. You can tell the creaminess inside through the clothes.
Li Weijian's right hand slowly moved down, and he said: "Don't talk about these troubles, Baoyu gave birth in two days, has the second sister prepared a congratulatory gift?" ”
"Ready," Yingchun said in a low voice, "I was still busy with work before you came, oh, that's it." ”
Li Weijian glanced over and saw a half-made scarf and hat on the bed.
Yingchun said again: "I don't know what to send, the free scarf sent to the New Year, now that Baoyu has gone to private school, I will send a Qingyun scarf." ”
Yingchun's figure trembled as he spoke, but it was Li Weijian's hand on his plump waist.
"It's a good job, and I don't know when the second sister will give me one."
The second girl said shyly: "If you want it, I'll just do it for you later." Brother Jian, let's play chess first. ”
"Well, there's no hurry." Li Weijian picked Yingchun's chin with his left hand, saw that he lowered his eyes in shame, and said, 'The second sister is better than that chess game', and then without waiting for Yingchun's reaction, he bowed his head and printed it on the abundance.
At first, he pecked lightly, and when he pried open his teeth, he grabbed the clove and seemed to tease it. The dough of the person in his arms seemed to be paralyzed, and his snort became heavier, and he shivered from time to time, as if he wanted to hold his breath.
The breeze was light, and there was silence inside, only the charm spread out and escaped.
In the small courtyard, Si Qi found a feather shuttlecock to play tricks, and Hongyu and Xiuying surrounded them, and the three of them kicked the shuttlecock in different ways.
Hongyu kicked a few stances, and when it was about to be passed to Xiutang, she used her strength for a while, and the shuttlecock crossed the top of Xiutang's head and landed under the base of the wall in the west wing.
Embroidered orange joked, turned around to pick it up, picked up the shuttlecock and looked at the inner middle when he got up, but saw that the two of them were already hugging each other.
Xiu Tang's face suddenly turned red, and he wanted to take his eyes away, but he couldn't move them.
Si Qi saw that something was wrong, crossed his waist and shouted, "Embroidered orange, is it twisted waist?" ”
"Huh? Ah, no, no. She quickly withdrew her gaze and turned around and walked back quickly, but her face was already stained with red clouds.
Si Qi quipped: "Look, Fang just played for a while and blushed, in the future, you need to be more active." ”
Xiu Tang snorted, but in her heart, she was slandering, her body and bones are good, where should she move more? The thrifty fourth master and the girl...... It's okay, with a girl like this, it's better to have a thrifty fourth master to protect her than to marry blindly and dumbly.
She has a strange look on her face, Hongyu is a clever one, where can she not see it? It's just a matter of the fourth master and the second girl, she was happy to see it, so she didn't see it.
The three maids laughed and played naughty, but Li Weijian in the middle had already let go of the Spring Festival.
The second girl was so ashamed that her face seemed to be covered with a red cloth, and she only cared about calming her nose at this time, wrapped her hands around Li Weijian's waist, buried her head and did not speak.
After a long time, she said angrily: "Brother Jian, you, you shouldn't be so ......"
"Second sister doesn't like it?"
"It's not ...... either"
Li Weijian smiled and teased: "Then I will try to control it as much as possible in the future." ”
"Hmm." When spring is coming, the taste in my heart is difficult to understand, and I can't tell whether I am happy or lost.
She was worried that sweeping Li Weijian's excitement would make her unhappy, so she turned her head and Li Weijian leaned over again. When Yingchun was back and weak, he smiled and let go.
After a while, Yingchun said angrily: "Brother Jian, didn't you say, say ......"
"yes, I controlled it, but I didn't."
His words like a scoundrel are biased towards the thoughts of welcoming spring. So the second girl raised her eyes and glanced at him as if she was embarrassed, but the two pink arms were tightened more and more.
Li Weijian was secretly proud in his heart, Sister Bao still knew that she would come to burn incense from time to time, how could he snub the second girl?
