Chapter 26
"Your third brother..." Li Ran didn't know what to ask afterwards.
"It's okay." Wang Shi answered very quickly, "The third brother is gentle and has been talking less since he was a child, so it's pretty good."
Li Ran looked at Wang Jing, sighed silently, staggered her eyes, and looked at the rockery not far away.
Gentle and talk less, this is a tolerant and tolerant nature.
If the second wife of the Li family is not much different from her sister, she is indeed an existence that needs to be tolerated for people like Wang Xing.
"The second master and his wife of the Cao family are in office. Two daughters and one son. The eldest daughter is the second grandmother of your mansion and Cao Zhi, who is also going to the imperial examination. Now the mansion is preparing for the exam, and he is married to the second wife of the Zhongyong Uncle Sun family. The eldest lady of the Sun family married to the old man in your mansion."
Wang Shi stopped and looked at Li Ran. Li Ran hurriedly shook her head to show that she didn't know anything about this.
"Loyal and brave, Sun Huiqiang," Wang Shi paused again, looked at Li Ran, and Li Ran nodded, "Sun Qiang, I understand this."
"Yes." Wang Shi laughed, "Uncle Sun..." Wang Shi laughed again, "Anyway, the Sun family never taboos these pasts.
Mrs. Sun's mother, Mrs. Sun, was deceived and eloped. Mrs. Sun's biological father brought Mrs. Sun, who was pregnant, to the capital. Dian gave a large car shop in the east of the city to a rough job. He took Dian's money for three years and left it and there was no trace since then."
Li Ran sighed softly.
"At that time, Mrs. Chen was also doing rough work in a cart shop. When Mrs. Sun gave birth, Mrs. Chen delivered her baby. It was Dongyue at that time. Mrs. Sun often talked about the difficulties of that period: How did Mrs. Chen take care of her? Why didn't she let her hands get cold water for a month? How did the owner of the cart shop take care of her? If there was a bit of meat on the stove, he would serve half a bowl and a bowl and give her to him.
Uncle Sun and Marquis Li grew up together. When Uncle Li came from the emperor to the army, Uncle Sun defected to Marquis Li.
Sun Miaoniang, the descendant of the third wife of the Sun family, is the best friend of the third wife in your house."
"You said just now that Miao Niang's car has arrived, is it Sun Miao Niang?" Li Ran was relished in hearing it.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the founding of the country, every noble family was a living legend.
"Yes. Today, there is Gao Guiying, the second wife of the Gao family of Zhongyi Bo, who is seventeen years old. This year, I am very close to the third wife of your mansion.
Uncle Gao was the Marquis Li who went to join him with Uncle Sun. He followed the army and the dragon.
In the past, compared with the Li family and Sun family, the Gao family was a little richer. Uncle Gao and Marquis Li were very close. The old lady and wife of the Gao family, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were not so close to Mrs. Chen."
"Is there anyone else coming today?" Li Ran asked with a smile.
"The other one is Madam Huo San. The old lady in this mansion is very smart and cautious. She must be Mr. Ning, please don't ask for more."
"It's very difficult for everyone." Li Ran sighed.
Wang raised his eyebrows and smiled for a moment, "Miss, it's really something related to the girl, but when it sounds like he's listening to some irrelevant old sayings from others."
Li Ran smiled, and she really thought it was all interesting old sayings.
"Do you know what Mrs. Chen is about choosing your in-laws' house?"
Li Ran's attitude made Wang feel refreshed and refreshing when talking to her.
Li Ran shook her head.
Wang Yin looked at her, "Aren't you worried?"
"What's there to worry about? This is not something she can do." Li Ran spread her hands and said.
Wang Yin burst into laughter and said, "No, the girl is so smart. Weng Weng is still worried. Yesterday he specifically told me to tell you, don't worry, and don't pay attention."
Li Ran wanted to ask a few more questions, but when she said something, she swallowed it again.
She didn't know the importance of it. If she asked if she shouldn't ask, she would ask Wang a difficult problem. This is not good.
Anyway, it's no big deal, so don't ask.
Wang Shi turned his head slightly to look at Li Ran, hesitated for a moment, subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "The grandmother is worried about you, so she asked General Xie to quietly ask General Xie. My mother said, General Xie said you are living a very comfortable life.
The grandmother burst into tears and said that she could be very comfortable in such a life now. In the past, I don’t know how hard the girl was. My mother advised her for a long time.”
"I didn't have any hard time before. I was so kind of person. I didn't care much about other people's affairs, nor did I care about external affairs." Li Ran said softly.
"Well, I can see that I told the grandmother too."
"Who is General Xie?" Li Ran asked.
"It's my cousin, my mother is General Xie's relative aunt." Wang Shi paused slightly and smiled, "The girl shouldn't answer this way. General Xie's single name is Ze, and he is the deputy commander of the front office of the palace and the prince's personal guard.
You should know that someone must be watching you. No matter who is watching you, you will definitely not be able to avoid General Xie. Therefore, the grandmother asked Ah Mom to ask General Xie."
Li Ran nodded, smiled faintly, and said to Wang Shi: "It is because someone must be watching me, so I can walk around without worrying."
Wang Shi was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, "Miss, really... we have arrived. The plum forest in front is counted in the capital. The tea tables for the third and fourth ladies are set up in that warm trunk."
Li Ran and Wang Shi were strolling around while talking and walking very slowly. The other ladies had their own reasons and arrived earlier than usual. Now, everyone in the warm house was already here.
Compared with the last time, this time, at least everyone did not form a semicircle to watch Li Ran.
When Cao San and Cao Si Niangzi saw Wang Jing and Li Ran, they hurriedly came out one after another.
Madam Huo also followed behind and met.
The third lady Li Qingrou stood in the middle of the warm pavilion, pouting slightly, and glanced at Li Ran who was smiling and greeting.
Sun Miaoniang, the third wife of Zhongyong Bo Mansion, and Gao Guiying, the second wife of Zhongyong Bo Mansion, stood on both sides of Li Qingrou, one curled her lips, one looked angry, and the other glanced at Li Ran with a little resentment and contempt.
Madam Huo San held the king's name, Madam Cao Si smiled and asked Li Ran to enter the warm pavilion, and sat down at the end of the long tea mat.
The long and wide tea mats are arranged very attentively, contrary to the importance of not being able to distract the main ones. The row of plum blossoms in the middle is tall and vigorous, blocking Li Ran's sight and also blocking Li Qingrou, who was sitting at the other end of the tea mat.
However, maybe the tea steak here is so charming.
She didn't know what it was about placing tea mats here.
Li Ran smiled and looked out the window.
She was in a good mood today.
Wang Shi sat to Li Ran's left, and the third lady Huo Qinglin sat to Li Ran's right, Cao San and Cao Si Niang were next to Wang Shi and Huo Qinglin. Next to the two were Sun Miaoniang and Gao Guiying.
Wang glanced at the smile on the corner of Li Ran's mouth, lowered his eyes, and smiled with his lips.
This girl is very smart.
As soon as he sat down, Huo Qinglin took a purse from the girl and handed it to Li Ran, "I got a fresh purse before. I thought you might like it, can you see if it's okay?"
Li Ran took the purse in surprise, "Thank you, it looks so good, I like it very much."
She only brought this gift, and only gave it to her. It seems that this was given to her for a special trip.
Why? I felt that the last time the hospitality was not good? I apologized in a tactful way?
But her brother has apologized and has sent her back.
Based on the principle that there are many gifts and people don’t blame them, I will accompany you again?
Is it worth it to be so embarrassed to be so embarrassed to her?
She was the one who refused to call her even a girl.
interesting.
"Sister Rou is so kind to you. When you get good things, you just think about others, hum." Sun Miaoniang said Huo Wenlin, but her eyes were fiercely snatching Li Ran.
"I saw that A Ran didn't have such a thing. When I saw something good outside, I brought her one. This was a purse I bought from outside. Third Sister never used purse or something. Third Sister, I remember correctly, did I remember it correctly?" Huo Wenlin leaned back and looked at Li Qingrou from behind everyone and smiled.
"Did you use something outside? Who knows who has touched it with his hands, it's dirty and smelly."
Li Qingrou's voice was not very peaceful. She hated going out to visit with this so-called Li girl who had unknown origin and was annoying. She hated everyone around her, and her attention and enthusiasm for her were more important than herself.
"There are also good things outside. The incense bags in Linglongfang are so fine. The embroiderers in our family can't make them. Where is your family? Can they make them?"
Mrs. Cao Si didn't like Li Qingrou very much. When she saw that the purse sent by Huo Wenlin was dirty and smelly, she was not very happy.
Li Ran held her purse and watched the people coming and going, her eyebrows slightly raised.
These little girls are young, they can talk and quarrel. They are all secret arrows, which are amazing.
Wang Shi kept staring at Li Ran, and saw her eyebrows slightly raised, looking quite interested, and seemed to have a look of admiration, and inexplicably wanted to laugh.
This girl is so open-minded.
"The plum blossoms are so fragrant and the tea is so good. You guys are talking about the purse incense bag." Wang Yin smiled and took the words of the Si Niangzi Cao and smiled: "When it comes to the incense bag, I almost forgot, Fourth Sister, can someone please collect some of your white plum blossom stamens for me, and I used it for tea scenting. I thought about it last year."
"Yes, I want some, too, but I want green plum blossom stamens. I think the fragrance of green plums is the best to scent tea." Huo Wenlin hurriedly followed and smiled.
Li Ran leaned back to the back of the chair, looked at Wang Jing, and then Huo Wenlin. These two little girls are experts who are mixed with the cliches.
This Madam Huo is much more sensible than the other three.
Well, it's much better than her brother.
"I have thought of it. From the beginning, a plum blossom blooms, I have someone to collect the stamens. There are all." Mrs. Cao hurriedly took the conversation, bowed to Li Qingrou and smiled: "Sanjie, where are you? Should I send you some tea, or do you try it yourself?"
"Today's tea was made by my third sister and I used red plum blossom stamens and green plum blossom stamens. This year, the white plum blossoms bloomed late, and we had not had time to scent. I think it was very good this year, so everyone must try it." Mrs. Cao Si realized his identity as the owner and hurriedly followed her third sister and Ximian.
A few girls came forward to make tea and pour tea.
Li Ran held up the tea and looked at the cup of tea that was scented with red plums, green plums, white plum blossoms, and six or seven little girls on the table. She could only admire her.
This life is so exquisite! His words are so thoughtful!
The tea tasting here is also a savoring of it quietly and slowly.
Li Ran was fully focused on the teacup in her hand. She really smelled the fragrance of the plum blossoms, but after drinking the five or six rounds of tea, she still didn't have any direction.
Forget it, don’t make things difficult for yourself. You are a vulgar person. It is already amazing to be able to smell the fragrance of plum blossoms.
