They may not know about the officialdom and people's livelihood outside the capital, but if there is any change in the family of a high-ranking official and nobleman in the capital, these noble ladies are the first to notice the clues.

Sun Yurong's mother, the Duchess of Qi Guo, was straightforward, and after looking around, she didn't see the Meng family and Yunzhu mother and daughter, she asked directly to the Pan family: "Sister, why don't you see the Duchess of Ning Guo?" And Yunzhu, doesn't she like this kind of occasion where she can be in the limelight the most? ”

With a beautiful father like Li Yong, it is not uncommon for Li Yunzhu to grow into a fairy, and she is like a glowing phoenix wherever she goes, and any beauty will be eclipsed in front of her.

Of course, the women who are oppressed by the glamorous are jealous, but on the other hand, if they have Li Yunzhu's beauty, of course, they will be as unbridled as Li Yunzhu.

As if being reminded, Pan looked around, also with a strange face, and asked the grandmother beside him: "Send someone to see, is there something wrong?" ”

Mama turned around and sent a little maid away.

There are some discussions in the female customer circle:

"If anything happens, I'm embarrassed to go out."

"Yes, the more majestic you are, the more embarrassing you are now, rather than going out to be ridiculed, it's better to hide at home and be quiet."

"The Ningguo Mansion didn't distribute invitations this year, right? Or wait for the banquet after the year? ”

This kind of gossip has been said or heard many times by the female guests present.

The Duchess of Qi Guo no longer felt fresh, and she didn't gloat much, Li Yong lost the battle, but he was handsome, such a beautiful man didn't have to do anything, he could look at it from a close distance and be refreshed, but he was stronger than her husband Sun Chao.

She only talked to Pan about the topics she was interested in: "Yunzhu is usually arrogant and arrogant, and likes to dictate to Brother Shao'er, but now that her father has lost the battle, the holy favor is not as good as before, Yunzhu's temperament may also be convergent, and when she marries, you will save a lot of trouble." ”

Otherwise, there must be a fighting method between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Sun Guangfu, the son of the Duchess of Qi, has also reached the age of talking about marriage, so the Duchess of Qi basically knows the temperament of these little ladies in the capital.

When Pan heard this, he smiled lightly: "Sister said that I laughed, we are old friends, the children have been playing together since childhood, Brother Shao'er treats Yunzhu and he treats Yurong as a brother and sister, but there is no other thought." Now that the children have grown up, Brother Shao is a man, it doesn't matter how he jokes, the girl's family values reputation, so it's better to be cautious. ”

Duchess Qi was stunned.

Sun Yurong, who was sitting next to her, was almost choked by her own saliva!

When did Cao Shao treat her the same as Li Yunzhu?

If Cao Shao admires and cares for Li Yunzhu as a fairy, then her Sun Yurong is just a sparrow in Cao Shao's eyes, and she is willing to listen to her call twice when she is in a good mood, and most of the time she just wants to wave her sleeves to drive her away!

Is this Pan talking nonsense with his eyes open?

Sun Yurong was young, and his brain didn't turn so fast, and the other ladies around listened to it, and they all instantly understood what the Pan family meant-the tacit marriage between the Cao family and the Li family was completely yellow!

.

Sun Yurong learned about this important event from the sisters when he was eating with a few little sisters!

She was so shocked, Cao Shao liked Li Yunzhu so much, he actually said that if he didn't marry, he wouldn't marry?

When the banquet was dismissed, Sun Yurong saw Cao Shao again.

She didn't care about how rude people were, she pulled Cao Shao's sleeve and pulled him aside, anyway, her father and brother are all wine bags and rice bags, Sun Yurong has long known that she probably can't marry a good person, except for pretending, she doesn't mind much about female virtues, and she acts very casually.

"How?"

Cao Shao shook her off in disgust, turned his back to the guest, and frowned coldly.

Fortunately, the children of Xungui's family did know each other since they were young, and Sun Yurong and Cao Shao could never have any ambiguous relationship, and the elders all smiled when they saw it.

Sun Yurong stared at him and said curiously, "You don't plan to marry Yunzhu?" ”

Cao Shao's expression was even colder, and the upbringing of the noble son made him swallow the word "fart", but he slanted Sun Yurong's eyes that expressed the same meaning.

Sun Yurong: "What's the use of you staring at me, your mother said it herself." ”

She recounted the situation.

It was as if a cold wind was blowing, freezing the disgust and unhappiness on Cao Shao's face into ice.

Sun Yurong understood everything.

Glancing at Pan's side, Sun Yurong frowned and said: "I hate Yunzhu, and I can't wait for her to fall in the pile of shit, but everyone in the capital knows that you two are a couple, and marriage is a big deal, how can you do this?" ”

The girl's family was repented of her marriage, and it was not good to die!

Sun Yurong just wanted to suppress Li Yunzhu's arrogance and play together to a big day, she didn't want to hear the bad news that Li Yunzhu couldn't think of doing stupid things, even if Li Yunzhu slapped her not long ago.

Cao Shao looked at Sun Yurong like a lost soul, but he didn't see anything.

Sun Yurong was not good at accompanying him to be stupid, and trotted back to his mother.

Gongsun Chao of Qi was too fat, he sat in a carriage alone, and Sun Guangfu guessed that there was big news, regardless of the dislike of his mother and sister, he also dragged his fat body into the second carriage.

Sun Yurong was really worried: "Mother, our car won't collapse, right?" ”

Duchess Qi looked at her fat son, who had lost a few laps of weight than her husband because she was young: "Should it be?" ”

Sun Guangfu: "Okay, don't bury me, what did my sister just say to Cao Shao?" ”

Sooner or later, this matter will spread, and Sun Yurong did not hide it from his brother.

Sun Guangfu rolled his small eyes, suddenly smiled, clapped his hands and said, "If Cao Shao doesn't marry Yunzhu, do I have a chance?" ”

Although he looks average and fat, his own hereditary dukedom is real, and the statues of the ancestors of the Sun family and the ancestors of the Li family are still standing together in the Meritorious Pavilion!

Duchess of Qi Guo: "......"

Sun Yurong: "......"

.

The guests were all dispersed, and Cao Shao still stood in front of the shadow wall in the front yard.

Pan guessed that Sun Yurong had reported to his son, and went back to the back house directly.

She knew that her son would be uncomfortable, but she just wanted her son to die completely, and when things got to this point, the news of "Uncle Xiaoguo only treats Li Yunzhu as his sister" will soon spread throughout the Xungui circle, with the pride of the Li family, even if she suddenly repents of her ghost and takes the matchmaker to propose marriage in person, the Li family will never nod and agree.

It's uncomfortable, it'll be fine after a while, and when she marries her son a beautiful and gentle wife, how long can her son worry about Li Yunzhu?

Just like those wives who have already given birth to children, who never had the dream of marrying Li Yong when they were young, they don't live how they should live after they get married.

Pan really wasn't worried at all.

After another hour, someone came to report: "Mrs. Tai, the second master asked someone to prepare a horse, it seems that he is going to the Ningguo Mansion." ”

Pan: "Let him go." ”

What can I do if I go, even if my son wants to elope with Li Yunzhu, can Li Yongmeng be willing?

.

Ningguo Mansion.

Yunzhu's family gathered in Li Yong's study in Zhenghetang.

On the desk, there are stacks of red paper for couplets, Li Yao is responsible for cutting paper, Li Xian is responsible for grinding ink, and Yunzhu sits comfortably opposite, admiring the handsome style of his beautiful father writing with a pen.

Li Yong, in addition to leading the troops, really doesn't seem to have any shortcomings, and he can even argue with the scholars of the Hanlin Academy.

Li Yao couldn't stand these elegant things, and letting him hold a paper cutter was as uncomfortable as letting him hold an embroidery needle.

"I have to write it myself every year, can't I just go outside and buy a few? Our family is not short of this money. ”

Li Yong: "This is called New Year's flavor, and you can't buy it." ”

Li Yao: "I'm not rare, you can come by yourself, you can call others, don't call me anyway." ”

Li Yong: "If you don't want to cut paper, then go and practice calligraphy and write a thousand blessing characters." ”

Li Yao: "......"

Yunzhu laughed at him: "Brother is good, but the patience is too poor, you learn more from your father, and it is easier for Confucian generals to please the ladies than pure generals." ”

Li Yao: "I'm not uncommon for them to like it. ”

Li Xian only concentrated on grinding and did not participate in the discussion.

"Grandpa Guo, the porter came to pass it, saying that Uncle Xiao Guo asked to see him."

Li Yong's pen tip paused.

Li Yao slapped the paper cutter suddenly: "Okay, even if he has a kind, I haven't gone to look for him yet, he sent it to the door himself!" ”

Yun Zhu hurriedly grabbed his brother, who might really beat Cao Shao up: "If you have something to say, don't do it." ”

Li Yao looked at his sister in disbelief: "They clearly want to repent of their marriage, and you still speak for him?" ”

Yun Zhu looked indifferent: "He shouldn't want to, why bother him." ”

Li Xian: "It's a tacit marriage contract, and there is no oral agreement, so it's good if it doesn't exist, but if it gets big, it will fall down." ”

Before my grandfather died of illness, my sister had just reached the end of the year, and my family was not in a hurry to get married, so the Cao family did not rush to propose marriage.

That's fine, there are really engagement documents, the Cao family will not openly repent of marriage for the sake of face, my sister took the initiative to repent of the marriage, and if she got married, then Pan's is a villain who avoids the cold and inflammation, and she can hide it before marriage, and she will inevitably treat her sister harshly after marriage.

Li Yong agreed with the third son and mentioned the eldest son: "After beating Cao Shao, it seems that he is a fragrant glutton, and we will be annoyed and angry if we don't succeed." ”

Li Yao turned his head and took a sip: "Sweet fart, he's an embroidered pillow!" ”

Li Yong: "You go on, I'll go with your mother to meet him." ”

After saying that, he left.

Yun Zhu saw that her brother had given up the idea of beating Cao Shao, and sat back on the chair covered with satin cushions, looking through the couplets that her father had written before.

Li Xian looked at it for a while, lowered his eyes and polished the ink.

Li Yao couldn't hold back his words, and said with concern: "My sister is really not angry? ”

Yun Zhu tugged at the corners of his mouth: "I'm already angry." ”

Because she, like her mother, had long expected today according to Pan's indifference, when she was most unhappy, Yunzhu smashed all the small gifts that Cao Shao had given her before, and scared the maids around her to try their best to persuade her to dissipate her anger.

Li Yao: "If you don't let me beat people, then let them go so easily, we can only swallow our anger?" ”

Yun Zhu smiled and looked up at his brother: "Wait, there is always a chance to take this breath." ”

Li Xian: "The eldest brother is a good errand in front of the emperor, and he is conscientious and does not make mistakes, maybe one day the emperor will remember his father's goodness and let his father be reinstated." ”

Li Yao was silent for a moment and nodded heavily.

In order for his younger brothers and sisters to no longer be angry, he will also follow his grandfather's teachings, think twice before acting, and strive to revive the prestige of the Ningguo Mansion as soon as possible.

.

Zhenghetang, as soon as Cao Shao came in, he knelt in front of Li Yong and Meng.
