In the evening, Li Xia took Li Wennan and walked all the way to the courtyard of the second bedroom. Li Wennan looked at the two large courtyards connected to the second bedroom getting closer and closer, and asked hurriedly: "What are we going to do? Second Aunt is doing fine these two days.

ah."

"It's not her. Let's go see if we can meet Eighth Sister. Second Auntie has recently changed her rules and said that the flowers are the best at this time. It's time for Eighth Sister to come out and pick flowers for her and put them in a vase."

"The second aunt is really embarrassed. In the middle of summer, she asked Sister Eight to pick flowers for her at noon. She said the flowers were the best at that time. In the middle of winter, she also said the flowers were best at dawn. Now...

What are the flowers good for?" Li Wennan looked around and couldn't figure out why it was so bad right now.

"Are there many mosquitoes in autumn? They are most common in the evening." Li Xia continued casually.

Li Wennan let out a long sigh, "It's already October, how can there still be... There should be some, otherwise I don't know what will happen. The eighth sister is really... Axia Axia!"

Before Li Wennan could finish his sentence, he hurriedly waved Li Xia's hand and motioned forward.

The corner door of the yard in front opened, and Li Wenmei, the eighth lady, carefully walked down the two steps while holding a large cloisonné enamel vase over one foot high.

"How did Second Aunt come up with the idea of ​​holding such a heavy vase to pick flowers? Second Aunt is really smart in this kind of torture. She has many tricks up her sleeve." Li Wennan put his hands on his hips and looked very angry.

Li Xia patted her gently, telling her to calm down, slow down, and walked up to Li Wenmei.

"Eighth sister." Li Xia greeted as she watched Li Wenmei find a stone slab and put the vase on it.

"Seventh sister, ninth lady." Li Wenmei hurriedly bowed her knees in greeting.

"What flowers are you going to pick today? Sister Jiu and I will pick a few for you." Li Wennan stretched her head and looked at the vase and the water in the vase, laughing and talking.

"Thank you sister, I can just choose it myself. I need to tell my mother which one I picked and where." Li Wenmei lowered her eyes.

"That field of chrysanthemums is blooming beautifully. Eighth sister went there to have a look. By the way, eighth sister, tomorrow seventh sister and I are going to the Tang family to marry our son-in-law, and then we will follow to the Changsha Prince's Palace to watch the fun. Will eighth sister go?"

"Li Xia said with a smile, while looking closely at Li Wenmei's expression.

Li Wenmei's eyes suddenly widened. After a moment, the sparkle in her eyes went out and she lowered her head, "Mother..."

Li Wennan rolled his eyes slightly, "My mother-in-law said she was not allowed to go to Changsha Palace to watch the excitement, but we decided to ignore her!" After saying that, Li Wennan turned to look at Li Xia and blinked.

Li Wenmei suddenly raised her head, facing Li Xia's smiling eyes, and then looked at Li Wennan, who was blinking at her, her eyes flickering. For a moment, she bit her lip and asked in a low voice: "Tomorrow... when?"

"Let's go there early. You are in my yard right now. You are the same height as Seventh Sister. Seventh Sister has the most new clothes. Wear hers and let's have a good day." Li Xia said in a cheerful tone.

Li Wenmei bit her lip and hummed heavily.

"Then let's go." Li Xia pulled Li Wennan and turned around to leave. After walking four or five steps, she turned back and waved to Li Wenmei with a bright smile.

"A-Xia, what do you mean by this? The eighth sister ran out this time, and when she gets back, the second aunt is not allowed to skin her?" They were far away from the yard of the second room, so Li Wennan grabbed Li Xia.

"First, people must help themselves, and then others will help them, and then God will help them. For this first step, the eighth sister has to help herself; secondly, you have to be a little courageous. If you don't have courage, you will definitely not be able to get on the wall. If you really

If it doesn't stick to the wall, we don't have to put in the effort." Li Xia raised one finger to Li Wennan, and then another.

"That makes sense!" Li Wennan exclaimed. This was so right. My mother-in-law also said the same.

"Also, let's see if the score is good or bad tomorrow. As for what you said about coming back and peeling the skin, do you think your mother is dead? Well, you still have to peel it, otherwise..." Li Xia protracted

The voice burst into laughter.

"Otherwise there is no excuse!" Li Wennan immediately answered.

"Sister Qi, if you see through it, don't tell me."

"Just the two of us."

"That's not okay, it's just the two of us, shouldn't we just look at each other and smile?"

"That's right!" Li Wennan clapped his hands, annoyed, and looked at each other with a smile, so cool!

Early the next morning, just after Chenzheng, Li Wenmei rushed into Mingcui Courtyard. Hu Ying hurriedly took her in.

Li Xia always got up well and was sitting at the table writing. When she saw Hu Ying coming in with Li Wenmei, she put down her pen and stood up. As if she didn't see the tension and panic all over Li Wenmei's body, he smiled warmly at her.

Li said, "It's nice that Eighth Sister is here. Have you had breakfast? Hu Ying, please twist a few veils and wait for Eighth Sister to cleanse her noodles."

Hu Ying agreed, smiling and letting the frightened Li Wenmei go outside, and asked the little girl to bring hot water and a pot of balsam to wait for her. Several people waited on Li Wenmei to cleanse her face again.

Li Xia sat down, finished writing the rest of the words, cleaned his hands and came out. Hu Ying had already led people to set up a table.

Li Wenmei saw Li Xia coming out and stood up hurriedly, "I mean to see if there are any lotus blooming in the Hou Lake...I'm afraid I can't hide it for a long time."

"Don't be afraid, we will go with the aunt in a moment." Li Xia motioned for Li Wenmei to sit down and told Hu Ying, "Send someone to tell the seventh sister. The eighth sister has already arrived. Ask her to hurry up."

"Eighth sister eats first. The Tang family must be very busy. Let's go after we're full to avoid being hungry and causing trouble for them. Besides, we're going to beat our son-in-law. How can we have the strength if we're not full?" Li

Xia's tone was brisk.

Li Wenmei took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, sighed, and sat down to eat.

Li Xia watched her eat two buns with diced bamboo shoots, a bowl of shredded chicken porridge, and half a plate of glutinous rice and lotus roots. He raised an eyebrow and then lowered it after a while. Her eighth sister, this

Such pride is rare.

Li Wennan always got up early and came here with the little girl. Behind her were several older and younger girls, carrying four or five large bundles.

Li Xia and Li Wennan surrounded Li Wenmei, choosing clothes with one piece on the left and another on the right. Li Wennan's eldest girl Cuiming and the girl in Li Xia's house Hu Ying, Jiao Ye and others were all talking about ideas. Li Wenmei raised

He held his arms, put on some clothes, and kept laughing.

After picking out the clothes, Hu Ying scattered Li Wenmei's hair. Just as it was done, the little girl outside came in and announced that the nanny in the second wife's room came to ask if the eighth lady was there. She said that the eighth lady was missing and was looking everywhere.

Li Wenmei's face suddenly turned pale, but she sat still and looked at Li Xia. Li Xia smiled at her and said, "Let's go to Jiaoye and tell the second wife that I invited the eighth sister to go to Changsha Palace to watch the fun."

Jiao Ye agreed crisply and went out to answer the question with her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Guo's second wife was swept into Mrs. Yan's courtyard by a gust of wind. She pushed away the little girl who stepped forward to open the curtain and rushed in. "Sister-in-law, this family has gone crazy. How can you pretend that you can't see it?"

Mrs. Yan, who was sipping a cup of tea, slapped the cup in her hand on the kang table, "Look at you like this! The more you live, the more you go back! Did you take away the water or ransack your home?"

Mrs. Guo's second wife's resentment suddenly subsided by half, "I was a little impatient, but this is a big deal! Sister-in-law, Ba Nizi is an unfilial daughter..." Mrs. Guo's second wife gritted her teeth, "She lied to me.

Repeatedly, this unfilial daughter has never been so unfilial in our Yongning residence!"

Madam Yan glanced at her coldly, "Why are you so unfilial? Tell me."

"Early in the morning, she said she wanted to pick flowers for me and put them in a vase. I was still thinking that the sun was really rising in the west. She actually had such filial piety. She had filial piety. I couldn't stop her, so I let her out.

, who would have known that she would actually run into Jiujie's courtyard and pester her to take her to the Changsha Palace. This bitch, what was she doing in the Changsha Palace? The palace was full of nobles, what was her plan?

…”

Mrs. Yan slapped her hand on the kang table and said, "Second Madam, no matter what, you are also her legitimate mother. How can you say this? You are shameless, and this uncle's house is even more shameless! Don't say such shameless words again in the future.

, don’t blame me for asking someone to control your mouth!”

"Okay, my sister-in-law's heart is biased. I know that I won't say it. I won't say it. I won't say it... I won't say it anymore. Please tell me, sister-in-law, do you still need the word "filial piety" in this uncle's house?

Already?" Mrs. Guo Er's chest heaved with anger.

"I know about the eighth sister's unfilial piety. There is a big event today. I'm going out right now. When I come back, I will take care of the eighth sister's unfilial piety for you." Mrs. Yan didn't even look at it.

After seeing Mrs. Guo Er, she stood up, walked to the floor-length mirror, looked back and forth, and walked out the door leisurely.

"I have to call Sister Eight back first! We can't let her go out and embarrass herself!" Mrs. Guo Er became anxious when she saw Mrs. Yan walking away. She rushed out and followed Mrs. Yan in anger.

Mrs. Yan ignored her and walked forward without looking back.

Mrs. Guo followed her all the way to the second gate. When she saw Li Wenmei, who was dressed exactly like Li Xia and Li Wennan, standing side by side to greet Mrs. Yan, she was about to rush forward, but was stopped by several women who reached out and said, "Second Mrs., please go."

No, Madam and the third wife were both invited by the Tang family, so the second wife should go back."

Li Wenmei lowered her eyes and did not look at Mrs. Guo Er. She only followed Li Wennan and got into the car eagerly, a little frightened.

Li Xia looked at Mrs. Guo Er with a smile, raised her hand and waved to her, and also got in the car.

Mrs. Xu raised her eyebrows high, looking at this and that, dumbfounded.

"Madam, get in the car." The eldest girl Ding Xiang had no choice but to remind her.

"Sister-in-law and I share a car." Mrs. Xu walked to Mrs. Yan's car in two steps. The mother-in-law just picked up the gangplank and quickly put it down again. Mrs. Yan stretched out her hand to lift the curtain, smiled, and motioned for Mrs. Xu to get in the car.

"This A-Xia... this must be A-Xia's idea. What does she want to do?" Mrs. Xu asked anxiously before she could sit down in the car before she got into the car.

"A-Xia is such a righteous girl. She can't bear it anymore when the second daughter-in-law is torturing the eighth sister to death like this." Mrs. Yan motioned to Manqing to pour a cup of tea and handed it to Mrs. Xu, her voice was light and smiling.

"The eighth sister is pitiful, I have thought about it, but she is her aunt, and she is restricted by the word filial piety. I have also helped. Once I helped, she suffered once, alas." Mrs. Xu thought about the eighth sister,

Full of sourness.

"Axia said that if we have a marriage, she and the eighth sister will be suitable anywhere. She said that she wanted to see the temperament of the eighth sister. This time, the whole family will also go to the palace. It just so happens that they can see each other quietly.

Over there, in the afternoon, the Tang family has finished their work. You come back first, and I will follow you to the palace. Axia sent me an envoy and asked me to take a good look at the old lady of that family." Mrs. Yan explained.

"How old is this girl? Forget it, Axia, I can't control this girl when she's five or six years old. Fortunately, she has a sister-in-law, otherwise... the sister-in-law needs to take a closer look, the eighth sister is pitiful, this marriage

You must not marry the wrong person again. When the time comes, I will add some dowry to her. I think the eighth sister is a good child."
