Chapter 71 Near Water Platform

The next day, Zhuang Xiuniang finally came to Xiyuan, but not with Li Sinian, but with Pang.

I haven't seen Pang for a long time. It seems that she is much older and haggard. She sits with Ling, but looks younger than Pang, who is four or five years older than Pang. In the Li family, everyone knows that Pang's body is the root cause of illness caused by taking care of Li Zhuoyue. In terms of talent, Li Zhuoyue is the smartest and most talented of the three brothers, and also the top in terms of appearance. However, he was jealous of the talent and fell ill innately. Since childhood, he has been a medicine jar. Although many doctors have been hired and used a lot of precious medicinal materials, they are just hanging their lives.

Although his son's body really shouldn't spoil other people's wife, it can be seen that he still has the ability to take the exam. I thought selfishly, even if I don't live long, at least I will leave a fragrance behind. Therefore, I don't dare to think that Li Liangxun is like Li Xunzhuo, one is a relative determined by the clan, and the other is a famous good man in Pu'an. He just found the Pang family, which is also the most scholarly but already depressed.

I have to say that Pangzi suffered a lot during his days in the Li family, but he also won the respect of the Li family. Although Li Zhuoyue passed behind him, Pang, who had no children under his knees, lived alone in the garden, but the Li family had never suffered a loss. When Li Ge was at home, the food of the garden was the same as that of Taihe Garden, and no one could be careless.

Although Pang did not come out, Li Gelao gave up a son like Li Sinian for her. He is young and successful, honest and filial. More importantly, Li Sinian's biological parents can only be regarded as a very distant branch of the Li family and marry into a decline. For Li Ge's willingness to let Li Sinian live, he can only be grateful and will not interfere at all. This is also for Ponzi to have no regrets in his life.

However, as a mother, she also wants to find a good marriage for her son. First, she fell in like Yan Sui, but because of the Liu family, she gave up. Later, I came to see Ling's marriage with Princess Yinghua and was about to ask her to give her to several women, but her brother's eldest sister appeared.

"This is Xiu Niang, and what was the last time's wife?" Ling looked at Zhuang Xiuniang, who looked embarrassed in jujube red, and the smile on her face was a little faint and did not stain her eyes.

Pang was stunned and couldn't remember which one it was last time, but Xiaohong answered, "In the words of the second lady, last time it was Mei Niang, Xiu Niang's sister."

"Oh, it turned out to be sisters. No wonder they look similar." Ling smiled, nodded, looked at Xiao Hong and said, "You didn't change it. You came last time, didn't you?"

Xiaohong choked half a sentence, and several maids behind Ling squeezed their mouths and smiled. For a moment, their faces were like fire, and they stopped talking in embarrassment. Pang looked at it and said, "Mei Niang made a good family last year and went to the door at the beginning of spring." Naturally, it's hard for Pang to say. In order to marry her daughter to Li Sinian, her family still has several reserves. Mei Niang was 18 years old, and she was afraid that she would be delayed and could not get married, so she was nervous and asked someone to be a concubine, and brought Xiu Niang, who was two years younger than her.

"The banker is very prosperous. I remember that my sister-in-law gave birth to four wives by herself. This time, with Mei Niangzi and Xiu Niangzi, it's really lively." Ling said.

Pong didn't speak much, and when he heard Ling's lazy tone, he couldn't answer. Fortunately, Cui's mother and Qiu's mother were round about the scene, and the atmosphere had not cooled down. Finally, when she saw the three Shaohua sisters coming, Cui's mother was obviously relieved.

"Xiuniang, go and meet your three sisters, Sanniang, Wu Niang and Qi Niang." Pang urged, Zhuang Xiuniang quickly got up to salute them, and the three girls here also returned one after another. After saying that, he suddenly coughed, and his whole face looked ugly.

"In such a cold day, if there is anything, just send someone to say something. Don't make yourself sick." Perhaps because of Suifenglou, Ling seemed to be a little unfriendly to Pon, but she was not comfortable like this.

Pang shook his head and said, "Looking at the good weather today, I went out for a walk. It happened that Xiu Niang lived at home and couldn't come to say hello to Erbom." He coughed and killed the scenery. It's not easy to let a little lady lock up in the room with me, so I called to get to know Sanniang.

Ling was upset by her sister-in-law's cowardice and didn't want to say more. She greeted her daughter, "Sanniang, you guys accompany Xiu Niang to Biwuxuan and send Xiu Niang back later. Hanxiang went to find a step for the third lady. It won't freeze when she walks back.

Zhuang Xiuniang looked at Pang with some worry. Seeing her shaking her head, she was blessed and followed Wanhua and the others to leave.

Wanhua was a little unhappy, but she was just a little concubine, and all three of them had to come out to greet her. She asked her to say that it was enough to let Jinhua accompany her to give face. Qi Niang, go to your place and sit down. What kind of tea did your father bring back last time? Do you still have any tea here? Take some out for Mrs. Xiu to taste.

Jinhua grew quickly in the new year, his body was like a spring bamboo shoot, and his eyebrows were more like Aunt Su, looking more charming. Hearing Wanhua's words, he was a little reluctant and hesitated, "How long has it been since I finished eating early?" She was very uncomfortable with the shining eyes of the maid Xiaohong, and felt that she wanted to strip herself bare. Walking on the road, he accidentally touched her fur collar and touched it excitedly, which made Jinhua walk a few steps next to Shaohua in disgust.

"What other tea do you have? I have drunk all the autumn tea in my room, and I don't know when I will send spring tea." Wanhua just didn't want Zhuang Xiu's master and servant to step into his yard, so he desperately found an excuse to get it in Jinhua's house.

"I don't have anything here. I heard that the fifth sister got a bottle of plum wine from her husband. It's so sweet. Why don't we try it?" Jinhua was not stupid, and proudly raised his eyebrows.

"No, that's the fifth mother given by my husband. It's only such a small bottle, which is not enough for the three of us." Wanhua was unhappy.

"Just take a small bite for each person." Jinhua said.

"Seven Niang!" Wanhua was about to be angry for fear that they would make trouble on the road. Shaohua hurriedly answered, "There is no plum wine. Why don't you eat grapefruit tea? It was made during the Mid-Autumn Festival and should be edible now." He smiled at Zhuang Xiuniang again and said, "Does Sister Xiu Niang mind?"

"How come, the fifth sister is polite." Zhuang Xiuniang replied with a smile.

She is not a fool. How can she not hear Wanhua and Jinhua's excuse from each other, but what she can say is that she was driven to the shelves by ducks. Even the clothes on her were borrowed from her sister's house. If she went back like this, she would return them.

Zhuang Xiuniang has not forgotten what her mother said to her. As long as she can get married, not to mention the future, even her aunt and sister will have a good life. If you can't get married, you will be an aunt to a big family like Mei Niang. Not to mention the charming mother who is also a concubine, she is the eldest sister, and three of the four are also aunts. I can only say that they are lucky, at least they won't live as depressed as their aunt.

In Aunt Pang's words, the reason why Mei Niang couldn't get married is that she didn't spend enough time with Li Sinian, and she can't come to Li's house with Mei Niang for three days. Therefore, she found an excuse to leave Zhuang Xiuniang at Li's house and wanted to come to the waterhouse first.

Zhuang Xiuniang still likes this cousin who has no blood relationship with her appearance. She has grown so much that she can count the Lang Jun has seen with her fingers, but she has never seen anyone like Li Sinian. What's more, he is the fourth gentleman in Beijing, and many other women are thinking about him. Zhuang Xiuniang thought about her future life and decided to work hard, so she spoke to Shaohua, which made her look surprised and grateful.

However, she didn't know that Shaohua was not so much. She just didn't want Wanhua to make jokes in front of outsiders.

"Who lives in this yard?" Passing by the yard where Yan Sui lived, Xiaohong asked curiously.

But no one talked to her, which made her look embarrassed, so Zhuang Xiuniang had to ask, "It seems that no one lives in it?" Originally, I came to Biwuxuan from Xiyuan through Huansiyuan, so I went to Jinhua's yard first, but was bypassed by Jinhua. Now that I want to go to Shaohua's house, I will inevitably pass through the yard where Yan Sui used to live. Since Yan Sui came home, the yard has been empty, and the things inside have not moved. Looking at the lock of the courtyard door, Zhuang Xiuniang naturally asked curiously.

"In the past, when Liu's sister came to live at home, she lived here. Later, she went home and the yard was locked." Jinhua was pushed behind Wanhua's back, and then reluctantly answered Zhuang Xiuniang's words.

Zhuang Xiuniang nodded, but Xiaohong asked excitedly, "Can my wife also live in?"

"Mrs. Yan is the eldest lady's niece." Yiliu was angered by Xiaohong's repeated presumptuous words, "It is also the fourth young lady in the future."

Xiaohong took the words "Liu's niece" and "the future fourth young lady" out of context and directly changed her identity to Zhuang Xiuniang. "My wife is also the third lady's niece. In the future, um..." Xiaohong was covered by Zhuang Xiuniang before she finished speaking. She was embarrassed to apologize to them. Laughing: "Xiaohong is ignorant, please don't be surprised by the three sisters. I won't go to my fifth sister's today. I don't know how my second aunt is. I still can't rest assured and want to go back to have a look.

"Well, I'll ask Han Zhang to send you there." Wan Hua immediately agreed.

"That's good work." Zhuang Xiuniang pulled Xiaohong's clothes and saw Xiaohong staring at her and turning around and walking in front of her. Han Zhang saluted the three girls, and then took Zhuang Xiuniang and the others away.

Jinhua stepped forward, looked at the awkward master and servant, put his hands around his chest, and sneered, "I think it will never come in the future."

"With her virtue, she still wants to marry her second brother. I really don't know what this mother-in-law thinks." Wanhua rarely has a united front with Jinhua.

"The second brother is a good person." Shaohua made a more pertinent summary.

The two turned around and said to her, "What does that have to do with her?"

"I won't marry her!"

Shaohua looked at the rare agreement between the two of them and smiled. Wanhua himself felt uncomfortable. He pretended to straighten up and said to Shaohua, "You will avoid them in the future. Don't let people take advantage of your good temper."

Jinhua also agreed with Wanhua's words and nodded, "I think that maid's hands and feet are not very clean. If you really go to your yard, remember to let Chu He and the others put away all the things and don't let them go." From Jinhua's tone, Aunt Pang's ability to lead the sheep is well known in the Li family.

"Okay, I know." Although I don't know what is directly related to Zhuang Xiuniang and Xiaohong's visit to Li's house, Shaohua also nodded cooperatively for the sake of such a rare harmonious and tacit understanding between Wanhua and Jinhua.
