Chapter 137
Li Xiaoyao sent Zhao Liushun, Chen Yuanda and others away, stood at the door of the flower hall for a while, and then easily entered the inner courtyard.
When Wisteria saw that Li Xiaoyao was empty, she came in with a bag of things and reported: "Master, this is Dongcheng and Jiajia Lacquer Shop in the afternoon, saying that it is something that Master Wu ordered there." Li Xiaoyao hurriedly motioned to Wisteria to open the bag. Wisteria opened the bag and was shocked to see the little man wrapped in the bag. No wonder the bag was wrapped so rigorously. It turned out that there were two naked ** little people in it. Although it was only a big shape and did not depict the details, it could still be seen that she was a beauty with long legs and thin waist. The face is exquisite and beautiful. The hair is made of real hair, which hangs brightly to the bend of the legs, and the eyebrows and lips are prominent and lifelike. Li Xiaoyao picked up the doll and marveled. This craft of this era is really amazing.
Li Xiaoyao moved his hands and feet. Sure enough, her arms, legs and feet could be bent and moved as she requested. Li Xiaoyao studied carefully for a while and handed the two dolls to Wisteria with a smile and ordered them: "There are two things. One is to dress up the two dolls, comb their heads, open the small box and see what's inside. It's not a small hairpin or something." Wisteria hurriedly opened. Sure enough, it was full of more than a dozen kinds of gold jewelry. Wisteria handed the box to Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao looked at it and then said, "Make two more sets of clothes. From the inside to the outside, don't have less. Dress up well and find a box to install it. On the seventh day of the first lunar month, it is Princess Roujia's birthday. Let Mother Zhang and Mother Lu were sent to Ning Palace early in the morning.
Wisteria took over the two puppets and twisted their hands and feet curiously. Li Xiaoyao looked at them and said with a smile, "Just leave it to those little girlies. I have something else to give you." Wisteria quickly wrapped the two puppets and looked at Li Xiaoyao, waiting for her to speak. Li Xiaoyao continued, "Second, I'm going to open a weaving workshop after the Spring Festival. You can help me manage this account. This should be careful. Every money goes out, what to do, how much work and how much material, there must be a detailed source. I will let Zhang Gouzi take care of the outside." Wisteria hesitated and asked in a low voice, "Isn't the lady circled the front yard to prepare for the weaving workshop?"
"The lady's weaving workshop belongs to the lady, and we will do ours." Li Xiaoyao replied with a smile. Wisteria looked at Li Xiaoyao and agreed without asking any more questions.
The winter solstice is the Chinese New Year, and this year is the year of the big ceremonial year. Three days before the winter solstice, Su Zicheng, Lu Hua and Lv Feng accompanied Da/French to drive outside the city to worship their ancestors. Li Zongliang and others also returned to Liushu Hutong. Li Xiaoyao took a vacation for himself and stayed at home to busy with the weaving workshop. When they were idle, they were free, Shuisheng, Erhuai, Guizi and Sister Zhang. Tiemu and others wandered around to watch the fun.
Mr. Fan leisurely rested at home and read idle books to entertain himself. Second Aunt Yan looked at the opportunity, accompanied him with a smile, and carefully found Mr. Fan's yard. First, he greeted him attentively for a long time. Mr. Fan answered with a 'um' while reading the book for a long time, just waiting for her to talk. Second Aunt Yan gossiped for a long time. , tentatively smiled and said, "Master, you see, Yueting is also a big man. The marriage between the eldest lady and Mingwan has been decided, and Yueting should also be married, right?"
"Well, this makes sense. Is there anyone you like?"
"If you don't like it, we don't want to climb high. It's okay if we have seen similar people. After watching it for more than half a year, Wei Shuisheng is still acceptable. The age of character and our moon pavilion are also worthy. What do you think?" Second Aunt Yan looked at Mr. Fan expectantly. Mr. Fan's hand, who was turning over the book, froze for a moment, breathed a long sigh of relief, looked up at Aunt Yan and asked, "Have you talked to Xiao Wu about this? What does Xiao Wu mean?
"Look at what the old man said, how can it be said about marriage with an unmarried girl? Besides, Shuisheng's surname is Wei, or his surname is Li. How can there be a sister who comes forward? Without this reason, isn't it?" Second Aunt Yan hurriedly explained with a smile. Mr. Fan's face turned a little gloomy, stared at Aunt Yan and asked in a slow and gloomy voice, "Do you usually say this to Yueting?"
"It's not usual. This is just right. Where the world goes, it's not a man as a director. How can there be a sister who takes care of her brother's marriage and his brother's family? What's more, it's not a surname." Aunt Yan muttered unconvinced. Mr. Fan squeezed the book in his hand, his eyes gradually narrowed, stared at Aunt Yan for a long time, and suddenly smiled, "If I agree to you, you won't do this, you will only complain that I haven't done my heart. I think it's better to go to Wei Shuisheng's marriage by yourself. This is shameless, let's Fan I don't want my family. You have been guarding for my second brother for all these years. I can only respect you. I can't ignore Yueting's marriage. Tomorrow, I will look for a few good families. It's my blessing to pick your mother and daughter well. If you don't pick it, you can worry about the marriage in Yueting later, and I'll do my best."
Second Aunt Yan blushed, stood up suddenly, gasped a few breaths on her chest, and said heavily, "Don't think I'm afraid!" With that, he rushed out angrily.
Mr. Fan closed his eyes, breathed sulking, shouted at the old man, and ordered him to invite the old lady to come over. Later, Mrs. Fan came in with Yuyan. Mr. Fan waved his hand back the jade inkstone, looked at Mrs. Fan and asked, "Your second aunt took a fancy to Wei Shuisheng. Have you told you?"
"I said, I, a girl who hasn't gone out, couldn't come out, so I pushed it." Mrs. Fan replied gently. Mr. Fan closed his eyes and thought for a moment, nodded and asked, "Have you told Xiao Wu about this?"
"Why do you talk to her about this? She is also a girl who hasn't gone out. How can it be?" Mr. Fan suddenly stared at Mrs. Fan and stared at Mrs. Fan's words behind her. Mr. Fan coldly answered coldly, "She is an unmarried girl's family. How can she care about her brothers, not to mention Wei Shuisheng's surnamed Wei! Isn't that so?" Mrs. Fan nodded hurriedly. Mr. Fan looked at Mrs. Fan, her cheeks ** a few times, and sighed depressively: "I said you bitterly for my father. You can't listen to a word. Why do you listen to those ignorant otaku women so much?"
Mrs. Fan looked at her father and did not dare to answer for a moment. Mr. Fan scolded Mrs. Fan, "Where have you read that book?" Aunt Fan's aggrieved tears rolled down all the way and said with chokingly, "Father, daughter has been reading women's books and filial piety since she was a child. Which one is not like that? At home, she learns from her father, marries from her husband, and her husband dies from her son. A woman can't be self-discertained.
Mr. Fan's arm slowly drooped and looked at his daughter unable to speak for a moment. Mrs. Fan's tears choked even more sadly: "My father has loved me since he was a child. He has grown up so much that my father hasn't even said a heavy word about me. Since he came to Kaiping Mansion, my father has... What's the best? I know how much gossip she has caused by running around dressed like that every day. You often say that a woman's words and deeds are related to the reputation of the family, and Mo has inadvertently damaged the reputation of the sisters in the clan. In those years, the Yao girl in the village had a scandal, and the sisters in the clan were difficult to marry. Brothers can't be said to be good relatives. Hasn't my father taught me about this? What is this little one? With such an aunt, the voice of the Li family, what other family voices of the Li family? Madam Fan looked up at Mr. Fan and questioned. Mr. Fan looked at her speechlessly. He couldn't answer her question. He forgot that she had only read women's books and filial piety! Mr. Fan slowly leaned on the back of the chair, looked at Mrs. Fan, and said slowly for a long time, "I told you that Xiaowu is not an ordinary woman. Don't treat her as a woman. You can't treat her as a monster, but you can't treat her as an inner woman like you! You say that and only restrain ordinary people like you!"
Mrs Fan stubbornly and said nothing. Mr. Fan looked at his daughter with all his flavors and smiled bitterly: "You are really like your mother, and you are as good as your mother. Well, I won't say you. Zong Liang is a good man with love, righteousness and responsibility. Your mother's everything was based on women's books and filial piety. I think you must also The same, that's good, only the same. Listen, no matter what Xiaowu does, it won't damage the reputation of the Li family. The Li family's mountain bandit background, and there is nothing to be unknown. You are the same. They are all people who have fallen into the grass. Those books have not been married for a long time. Don't worry about the marriage of the five brothers of the Li family. Xiaowu/will not let anyone intervene. , you can rest assured that if you have children and daughters in the future, if you want to get married, I'm afraid you still have to play the sign of Xiaowu. I don't need to say more about this. In another three or two years, you will also have eyes and you can see it at that time. You can rest assured!" Mrs. Fan listened to her father's words in a daze. Mr. Fan took a deep breath and waved his hand: "Well, you go back. Also, from tomorrow, don't go to the Li family. You are an unmarried girl's house, and you are filial. You go to the Li family every day, which is not consistent with your daughter's filial piety. Besides, it won't have to make Xiao Wu tired. Your sister's reputation, from tomorrow, you will abide by the rules of women's books and do needles and thread at home, and don't go anywhere.
Mrs. Fan looked pale and looked at her father with trembling lips. Mr. Fan's eyes had calmed down and looked at his daughter and said faintly, "If you recognize your way, then stick to the end and go." Mrs. Fan stood up, shook her body, and looked at her father still wanting to speak. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. She stood for a long time before retreating out of the yard. Yuyan hurried forward and helped her walk more than a dozen steps. Aunt Fan took a breath, turned her head to look at Yuyan, and ordered in a low voice, "Go to find the uncle and talk about me. If you want to see him, you have to see him now!" Yuyan nodded in consteration and held Mrs. Fan to send her back. Mrs. Fan pushed her hard: "Go!" Yuyan was pushed back a few steps by Mrs. Fan, stabilized his body, and did not dare to ask more questions. He hurriedly took his skirt and ran to the east courtyard of Li's house.
