"Who did you listen to?" Li Zhou's face sank slightly.

"I ......" Although Li Wanning is arrogant, she is especially good at looking at Li Zhou's face, after all, Li Zhou's favor is her confidence, at this time, she knew that the other party was angry, and hurriedly hugged his arm, "I saw a stranger go out just now, and I thought my cousin was coming." ”

Li Zhou's brows furrowed even higher.

"Daddy." Li Wanning pouted, "Didn't you say you wanted to kiss and kiss?" My cousin is not only noble, but also talented, anyway, his position as a concubine is also vacant, and if you want to choose, you have to agree with your aunt, so ......"

"Alright." Li Zhou interrupted his daughter's words, "Girls' families, don't say such things in the future." ”

"But ......"

"Your family affairs, Dad has his own arrangements."

Li Wanning wanted to say something, but when she saw Li Zhou's completely cold eyes, she could only stomp her feet unconvinced, and then turned around and ran out.

The two little girls waiting at the door hurriedly followed.

Li Wanning returned to her yard, but she still felt uncomfortable, so she simply lay on the bed and cried.

Xiaohua and the other girl named Xiaocao glanced at each other, Xiaocao shook her head, indicating that she didn't dare to step forward and let Xiaohua persuade her.

Xiaohua didn't dare either, but she couldn't help but step forward, after all, she was a first-class girl, although she was young, she was older than Xiaocao, so she could only walk over hard: "Miss Seven, don't cry, your body is important." ”

"I'll just cry." Li Wanning is the spoiled eldest lady, Li Zhou basically responds to her needs, this is the first time she has been rejected, and she has even been rejected so completely firmly.

"But Miss Seven, what's the use of crying?" Xiaohua poured a cup of tea and walked over.

"What then?" Li Wanning sat up suddenly.

"Miss Seven, drink saliva first." Xiaohua handed over the teacup, "Xiaohua's family is poor, my father and mother are very tired of feeding two children, when I was a child, someone asked my father and mother to throw away the slave and maid, after all, the slave and the maid are female babies, and the younger brother can be passed on to the next generation, but the father and mother are reluctant, they said, as long as you work hard, there will always be a bite to eat, and when you encounter something in the future, your father and mother will also say that there will always be more ways than difficulties, you see, when we can't survive, we will come to Xinyang ......" said and lowered his head, "Although the slave and the maid are separated from them, But the slave was convinced that one day they would find them. ”

Li Wanning's eyes lit up: "Xiaohua, what you said is very reasonable." As for whether this slave can find his family, that's not something she should consider.

Xiaohua smiled and took the empty teacup.

"Then you say, how can I get my father to agree to a relationship with my cousin?"

Xiaohua's eyes flashed: "Miss Seven, the slave maid thinks, the most important thing is not whether the Hou Ye agrees or disagrees, the key is the relationship between you and the young master, if the two of you really have feelings, can you let the Hou Ye agree?" ”

"Huh?" Li Wanning frowned.

"The slave doesn't know much either, but there used to be a sister next door to our family, who liked the brother of the household at the entrance of the village, but the brother's family was too poor, and there was a paralyzed old lady, and the sister's family did not agree, and in the end, the sister hugged her brother together, and was seen by the villagers, and finally the sister's family agreed to their marriage, and the people in our village all said, what is this called, raw rice is made into cooked rice, but there is no rice in every household, only chaff......" said and sighed, "I don't know why I said that." ”

Li Wanning frowned, then her eyes suddenly lit up, and she reached out and patted Xiaohua's shoulder: "Oh, you have done your young lady a great favor." ”

"Huh?" Xiaohua looked dazed.

"Heavy reward." Li Wanning said as she took a golden hairpin from her dresser and stuck it on Xiaohua's head.

"Miss Seven, if you really want to reward the slave maid, just give the silver or copper plate, this gold hairpin, the slave and the maid can't wear it, if the silver is saved, the slave and the maid still want to find their father and mother in the future."

"You're a little money junkie." Li Wanning was not angry because she was in a good mood, and then went over and grabbed a handful of silver leaves and handed them over, "The golden hairpin is also rewarded to you." ”

"Thank you, Miss Seven." Xiaohua knelt down and kowtowed excitedly.

"Okay, hurry up and inquire about my cousin's movements, come and report at any time, I'll rest first." Li Wanning said and returned to the bed, "By the way, don't forget to buy me an egg scone from Dongshikou." ”

"Yes." Xiaohua responded, turned around and went out, and when she got to the door, she saw Xiaocao and stuffed two silver leaves for her, "You look at it, I'll inquire about the situation." ”

"Xiaohua, you're still amazing." Xiaocao was happy.

Xiaohua turned around and walked out of the yard, since she entered the Xinyang Hou Mansion, she is young and has a sweet and diligent mouth, so many people in the house like her, and now she is a big girl in Miss Seven's yard, so everyone is more polite.

"Uncle Zhu, please send me a car, Miss Seven wants to eat egg scones, if you walk, it will be cold when you come back."

When the housekeeper Lao Zhu heard this, he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent a carriage to her.

The old money restaurant in Dongshikou was opened by Qian Baifu and his wife, it was originally just a small stall, and then there was silver to rent a shop, because the things here are affordable and delicious, so, the business is quite good, at first, the rich people in the city do not look down on such things, but then some people occasionally eat, think it is quite delicious, so from time to time there are some large families will also patronize, of course, the people who come are the next people.

Li Wanning fell in love with the egg scones here after being introduced by Xiaohua, but she boasted of her identity, so she only ate them once in a while.

But it is also such an opportunity that Xiaohua can meet her father and mother openly, so as to pass on the news in the Hou Mansion.

"Little Flower Girl." He Shi saw his daughter get off the carriage and hurriedly greeted him warmly, "Miss Seven wants egg scones again, right?" ”

"Yes, auntie." Xiaohua smiled and nodded, "Do you have a ready-made one here?" But there must be enough ingredients, Miss Seven eats well, so it's easy to say. ”

"Rest assured, ensure that the material is sufficient." He Shi said and went to get a scrub cake and gave it to the coachman, "It's hard work, you eat first, because there are still a few guests in front, and it will take a while to make it." ”

The coachman took it with a smile, the proprietress of this restaurant is very good at business, and every time she comes over, she will stuff food, and everyone is willing to come over, so naturally she will not urge.

Xiaohua followed into the restaurant, looked back at the coachman who was sitting in the carriage and eating, and then told her father and mother what happened in the Hou Mansion one by one, and then went back with the finished bread. (End of chapter)
