Chapter 229 Letter from the capital [five update, two thousand words]

Li Jiaping got such a decree, but no one in the house was happy. The Li family is a century-old family in Suzhou, and there is no need to be a son-in-law to seek glory and wealth. And this time, the imperial edict was obviously the emperor's beating of the Li family.

Sure enough, is the emperor still afraid of the Li family?

Xinrong shook his head. Although the Li family did not like this decree from the old father-in-law to Li Yi's generation, they did not have much resentment. Obviously, the people of the Li family also thought that the emperor's hand might not be bad for the Li family. After all, although the Li family has never settled in the capital. It is obviously impossible to come to Beijing this time. Maybe it is the few rich people in the capital who do not want the Li family to go to the capital to get a piece of the pie.

General speaking, Li Yi will go to the capital.

The imperial edict did not say when the marriage would be. Obviously, whether Li Yi can be the son-in-law also depends on the emperor's mind.

I didn't participate much in the affairs of the Li family. Even Li Yan and Li Lian, the two brothers and sisters, seemed to have never happened. It's just that Li Yi often discusses with his uncle and old father-in-law in the study. The old lady and aunt are also as usual, but recently more people have come to Li's house to send gifts. The emperor's imperial edict went to Li's house, and this kind of thing could not be hidden from the officials in Suzhou at all.

Usually, these officials in Suzhou want to get along with the Li family but don't have a chance. This time, I don't know how many people are watching this opportunity to go to Li's house to give gifts.

I went out of the door and took Yao's mother and Feng's mother to the governor's office together.

The last time she went to the governor's mansion, she found that the food in the governor's mansion did not suit her appetite. I guess my mouth has been raised. In the past, when she was in Xuefu, Li's mother often made delicious meals for her. In Li's house, the old lady couldn't wait to find the best cook in Suzhou to cook for her.

Fortunately, Li's mother has always been friends with Feng's mother, and Feng's mother has also got some true biography from Li's mother.

Xinrong specially ordered Feng's mother to make bird's nest lotus seed soup.

Although Xiahouchen's injury was serious, he recovered quickly. In a few days, he could sit up and feed Xiahouchen porridge one by one, but this feeling is very good. Although she has not really married Xiahouchen, she feels that since her heart has been given to Xiahouchen, she should naturally serve Xiahouchen properly.

After drinking the porridge, Xia Houchen said unhappily, "I thought you would make porridge for me this time. Although this porridge is delicious, I can't get into it."

Raise your eyebrows, is this a love word? But why does it sound like burying her?

She put the bowl aside and sat upright before saying, "I have never cooked. If the porridge I make is unpalatable and you eat it all, I will cook it for you personally."

When he said this, he gritted his teeth.

"Let's do it. It's such a small bowl of porridge, and I'm not full!" Xiahou Chen said with a smile.

She is angry. She has never cooked. How to do it?

Although he was unhappy, he still entered the kitchen in Feng's mother's surprised eyes.

Yao's mother quickly went to burn the fire and asked Xinrong to add water to the pot first, and then washed the rice into the pot. Feng's mother came to her senses and told her that the tender lotus seeds could be put in a cup of tea before the pot. Bird's nest can be boiled for a while.

But the final appearance of the heart is really miserable.

Looking at the porridge she made, she shrugged her shoulders helplessly. At least she would never drink this porridge herself. Fortunately, she didn't make much. Even if it was bad, it was estimated that Xia Houchen could finish it.

When Xinrong brought the porridge to Xia Houchen, Xiahouchen's face almost wrinkled together. I'm afraid he didn't even think about the porridge made by Xinrong. It's really not good to look good, just like that!

However, since he has spoken, he will never break his promise. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Feed me. Now I have injuries, and I still have no strength all over my body."

He snorted with dissatisfaction, gently blew the porridge, and fed Xia Houchen a bite.

Xia Houchen frowned, "Why is it so bad?"

"I said I can't cook. You want to eat it yourself. No wonder!" She curled her lips and was obviously unhappy that Xia Houchen told the truth.

"For good, you can still enter!" Xia Houchen said mockingly, and then took a sip.

He was suspicious. Did Xia Houchen deliberately say this to make her happy?

She took a gentle taste, as if it really didn't taste as bad as she thought. She breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do you know that your cousin has become a son-in-law?" He said boredly.

"Naturally, Li Yi also grew up under the emperor's eyes. He had some thoughts, and the emperor should also know. This time it was just a warning from the emperor, but it was more of Princess Xiaochen. Princess Xiaochen has been in love with Li Yi for a long time. Xia Houchen said faintly.

"Where is Liu Yuner?"

"Wouldn't it be beautiful if Liu Yuner married Li Yi with Princess Xiaochen?" Xia Houchen said with a smile.

Constered, does the emperor really intend to allocate Liu Yuner to Li Yi? Princess Xiaochen is big and Liu Yuner is small?

She couldn't help thinking nonsense.

"Liu Yuner is not a vegetarian. We all know what she thinks about Li Yi, but we don't understand why the two have always been separated. Since they are willing to be like this, it's naturally hard for us outsiders to say." Xiahouchen frowned, "Speaking of which, the capital has been moving a lot recently. The emperor has transferred some officials back to the capital, including the third master of Xuefu, as well as your eldest brother-in-law and fifth brother-in-law."

These officials are either generals guarding one side or local parent officials. It's quite popular outside!"

The corners of his heart and lips raised an arc, "Isn't there anything else to hide from me?"

"If you want to listen, just listen." Xia Houchen's pure black eyes brought a smile.

Her heart smiled slightly, and she really listened to it. Xia Houchen said a few words softly in Xinrong's ear, and her eyes were full of shock.

"I guess the Xue family's letter should also come! Go back and get ready, and let the old lady of the Li family know. Xia Houchen told him again.

Heart nodded.

A few days after, Xinrong really received a letter from the Xue family. He mentioned in his heart that he had arranged a marriage for Xinrong to return to Beijing as soon as possible. If she did not return to Beijing, the sedan chair would also be carried to Suzhou to pick her up.

The face raised the letter paper in his hand, and his eyes narrowed slightly. Xia Houchen has told her that the Xue family has arranged a marriage for her, but she didn't expect the Xue family to be so anxious. Now it is midsummer, and it is inconvenient to hurry.

"Miss, if you go back now, you may be able to catch up before the New Year. It will take more than a month to get from Suzhou to the capital. If it is delayed for a period of time on the road, it is coincidental to celebrate the Spring Festival when you arrive in the capital!" Yao's mother reminded.

Xinrong nodded. She was no longer Xue Xinrong in those years, and the Xue family would never give her anything. Why should she leave a way out for the Xue family?

"Xue's family, I can deal with it!" There was a deep smile on his lips.
