Chapter 73 Random Mandarin duck spectrum
"Wu Niang is so stingy that I don't usually see you play the pipa for me."
Originally, they were stunned by Shaohua's pipa. The two masters and servants who were as dumb as wooden chickens heard a string of laughter and twisted their stiff necks and looked out. I saw a girl in a lotus-colored dress coming in, with beads on her head shining and a shining face. Compared with Shaohua's aura, Zhou Yan looked heroic. She strode in, as if she hadn't seen Zhuang Xiuniang and the others. She walked in familiarly and rudely asked Chu He to bring her tea.
Chuhe was used to the style of this Houfu lady, squeezed her lips and smiled, and left happily. The young Han also went out and prepared some tea and fruit snacks for them.
"I heard that you have refused to move the pipa since the Lantern Festival, and I thought you had closed the mountain." Zhou Yan quickly grabbed the pipa in Shaohua's hand and sighed loudly, "It's worthy of Mrs. Xingyong's favorite thing. This pipa is worth tens of thousands of taels. They are really willing to give it to you." With that, he deliberately blinked at Shaohua ambiguously.
The two masters and servants beside him were afraid to take a breath when they heard that the pipa in Zhou Yan's arms was worth tens of thousands of yuan. Xiaohong, in particular, stared at the pipa in Zhou Yan's arms, as if she was going to swallow and peel it alive.
Shaohua rolled his eyes, took the pipa back, wrapped it in cloth, put it away, and then turned around and said to Zhou Yan with a bad smile, "Sister Yan was wrong. This is just given to me by my husband, but it's only a hundred taels at most." The pipa that Mother Rong gave to Shaohua is not a defective product, but not made of whole wood, and marriage always needs to be lower. She looked at Zhuang Xiuniang, who had not dared to make a sound from the time she just entered the door, and quickly introduced her to them: "Sister Xiu Niang, this is Mrs. Yan of the loyal and righteous marquis."
Looking at the two masters and servants salute, Zhou Yan waved her hand casually and did not give Shaohua a chance to introduce them. She relied on Shaohua and said, "You play another song for me. I like it."
I was about to introduce to Zhou Yan. Listening to Zhou Yan's tone, she obviously didn't pay attention to Zhuang Xiuniang, which made them a little embarrassed. Shaohua looked at Zhou Yan and then at Zhuang Xiuniang. He didn't know whether Zhou Yan was intentional or unintentional. Zhuang Xiuniang also looked at the relationship between Houfu's wife and Shaohua. She thought that she and Shaohua were not close to each other, but just came to visit. Since she had guests, it was not easy to disturb her.
So on the pretext of leaving, Shaohua was inconvenient to stay and only asked to send them to the door. Then she turned around and looked at Zhou Yan with a proud face and said an annoyed tone: "Sister Yan, that was the wife of my third aunt's family just now. You don't have to do this even if you don't like them."
Zhou Yan curled her lips carelessly and muttered, "I know whose family she is." Shaohua said, "But I don't know this little lady, but I have seen the maid beside her. Last time I came with another lady, I happened to accompany my third mother to deliver something to your third aunt's yard. Unexpectedly, when I met your third aunt's sister, she pinched and touched me. Seeing that I was angry, I let her go. Later, when I went home, I found that there were two fewer beads on my head.
"What kind of bead?" Shaohua was shocked. Has it been openly staged to rob?
Zhou Yan shrugged her shoulders and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just a string of beads from my uncle. I thought it was too big and heavy, so I asked the maid to break it up and make it into a bead hairpin. That day, I brought five on my head, and there were only three left when I went back. Zhou Yan felt a little upset when she thought of this.
Shaohua was a little shocked, but he still kindly asked, "Will it be lost somewhere?"
"Ha ha, lost? I just saw that the beaded bead on the maid's head was mine. Although a bead is not worth much, the string was specially selected by my uncle and gave it to me. I know the color and size, and even the style of the twisted bead card is also made by the maid in my room. Now you can go to my house, and I still have a box. Shaohua didn't say it was okay, but when she mentioned it, she became even more angry. At first, she didn't doubt Aunt Pang, but suspected that she had lost it on the road, but she would not lose it no matter how much she played in Biwuxuan. When she went to the garden, there were two missing. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Xiaohong's eyes and hurriedly pulled out the beaded head and hid it in her sleeves, which made it difficult for her not to doubt it.
Hearing Zhou Yan's words, Shaohua can't defend it anymore. He just feels that Pang is entangled with Aunt Pang. I'm afraid it's not the face of her room, and the whole Li family will take the blame.
"Why are they here again? What about the previous lady?" Zhou Yan quickly restrained her anger.
Shaohua saw that her anger convered and quickly changed the topic, "I heard that it was Xu's marriage. This is to replace the previous wife and wants to marry my second brother."
"Marry your second brother?" Seeing Shaohua blinking innocently and nodding, Zhou Yan's tone couldn't help but rise again, "It's really cheeky, when I don't know the virtue of the Anlehou family. Except for Qilangjun, there is no good person in their family, especially the youngest direct husband of Anlehou. It is said that he went to a continuation and gave birth to a large group of women and rushed to send aunts to the officials.
Shaohua turned his face away awkwardly and whispered, "This lady is the wife of the Langjun of the Anlehou family. That sequel must be the third aunt's sister.
Zhou Yan held her breath in an instant, looked at Shaohua, saw that she was a little innocent, and then sneered, "If your third aunt really wants to recruit such a person's wife as a daughter-in-law, she really ruined your second brother in vain."
"I understand this, but this is a matter of the garden, and we can't get involved." Shaohua looked very helpless. If Pang insisted, unless Li Sinian proposed it himself. Otherwise, she is just a passer-by. With a tilted head, she looked at Zhou Yan and fell into meditation seriously. She couldn't help joking, "Why don't Sister Yan come and be my second sister-in-law? In fact, my second brother is good-looking and handsome, and still honors the name of the four gentlemen in Beijing."
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yan suddenly blushed and stared at her shyly. Shaohua imitated her appearance and winked at her ambiguously. Zhou Yan was annoyed. Seeing Shaohua running away, she immediately caught up with her, "You bastard, you are actually joking with me. When I catch you, you have to be itchy."
"Come on, let's see who runs fast." Shaohua was already very confident in his physical strength and said provocatively to Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan was not a idle wife and immediately caught up with her, and the two ran around the yard several times.
Suddenly blocked by a tall figure, she couldn't stand still and hit the other party's chest. The whole bridge of her nose hit firmly, and all of a sudden, the pain and numbness made her stand upright. Shaohua turned around and found that something was wrong. He was shocked and ran over quickly.
"Sister Yan, are you all right?" This is not a joke. No matter how good Zhou Yan's relationship with them is, she is the only woman in the Zhongyi Hou Mansion. Hurting a hair is enough to make the Zhongyi Hou Mansion peel her skin. Chuhe, hurry up and ask the doctor.
"Don't be busy, it's okay!" Zhou Yan rubbed her nose, put Shaohua's hand, stood up slowly, and was a little angry with the figure that suddenly appeared. Looking up, a tall body blocked the sun. She looked a little dizzy and only heard Shaohua weakly shouting "Second Brother". Zhou Yan took a step back and saw the other party's appearance, handsome facial features and strong figure. Thinking that she had just bumped into his arms, her whole face burned.
"Sister Yan, are you really all right?" Shaohua was shocked by Zhou Yan.
"Wuniang, you have someone help her in to rest first. I have something to say to you." Li Sinian opened his mouth in a low voice and didn't pay attention to Zhou Yan's expression at all.
Shaohua was stunned for a moment. How could she let go of Zhou Yan, but she looked sideways at Zhou Yan's expression, which seemed to be nothing serious.
"I went into the house. You can talk about it first." Zhou Yan took the initiative to speak, ignored Shaohua, and turned around and fled.
Shaohua was puzzled by her behavior, and Li Sinian suddenly said, "Wuniang, did Xiu Niang come to see you just now?" Shaohua looked at his serious look, was a little shocked, and nodded. Li Sinian seemed to hesitate and thought for a moment, "I have something to ask you."
"What's the matter?" Shaohua is very straightforward, which can make Li Sinian so hesitant that he wants to have something to do with the little lady in his yard.
"I want you to help me and make Xiu Niang hate me." Li Sinian finally said it.
Shaohua was stunned for a moment and smiled, "That's it?"
Li Sinian nodded extremely seriously, "I know my mother is very embarrassed, so I can't say anything to Xiu Niang. I always alienate her and avoid her, but she will still stick to her. I can't brush her face directly. She is also a little woman. Anyway, you can find a way to make her hate me. Even if you say bad things about me. As long as she hates me, my mother will not force her.
"What if one family likes your bad?" Shaohua suppressed his smile and looked at Li Sinian's incredible appearance. "The second brother is not a fool. Even if Sister Xiu hates you, if her aunt really wants her to marry you, can she say no? If the third aunt can't refuse by herself, and you are embarrassed to refuse, do you think anyone else can make your aunt change her mind?
Li Sinian was shocked. He was not good at dealing with this kind of thing and didn't think so much at all. That's why I'm here to ask you to figure it out!" Looking at Shaohua shaking his head, he frowned, "I know you're smart. You must have an idea." He is the only one in Taoyuan. He can't think of anyone else to help except Shaohua, who is still a little friendly.
"Don't wear a high hat. I can't stand it." Shaohua shook his head resolutely.
Li Sinian thought, "I promise you that I will take you to meet Yan Kaizhi."
"Deal!" Shaohua's eyes lit up. Looking at his expression, he was obviously relieved and smiled, "Actually, it's not difficult. As long as the second brother finds a sister-in-law as soon as possible, my aunt will have nothing to say."
"It's easy for you to say. Such marriage events are not just looking for them." Li Sinian stared at her angrily.
"It's not easy for others. Who is the second brother? He is the four gentlemen in Beijing." Shaohua threw the high hat back to him. Seeing that he frowned again, he had to say, "I'm telling the truth. The second brother is not young. It's time to start a family." As long as you find a woman with a hard family background, can your aunt come to find something? The third aunt didn't say that she had to marry Xiu Niang's sister. Besides, Sister Xiu Niang really wants to enter the door and has to pass her grandfather's level. Why don't you go to see a woman and ask your grandfather to decide for you?
Li Sinian thought about it and reluctantly accepted this suggestion. Shaohua immediately took advantage of the hot iron and looked at the room, "Second brother, what do you think of Sister Yan?"
Li Sinian was stunned, with a somewhat awkward expression on his face. He left a word and shook his hand and left. I'll solve this matter by myself. I won't worry about it.
