In the following time, under the leadership of Li Jing'an, Yan Bing searched through the entire Xuzhou city and bought a set of snacks that Mr. Li liked, the second favorite tea, and the usual pen, ink, paper and inkstone that he used to, along with the best chess and Go, and finally some common New Year goods to visit relatives during the New Year.
From the beginning, when I couldn't get the gift boxes, I just rented a short-term worker and pushed a cart back...
It looks scary, but in fact, it only cost less than 200 taels of silver to add up. This is the price in Xuzhou. If it is in the capital, these things will probably not be used even 100 taels.
Until the two of them led the short-term workers and pushed the cart back, Yan Bing still held a skeptical attitude...
After hesitating for a while, Yan Bing finally couldn't help but speak, and tried to speak very tactfully...
"Uncle Fourth, although these gifts are of many types, the price of these things... isn't it a bit sincerity..."
Li Jingan, who was leading the way forward with his hands behind his back, slowly turned his head to look at Yan Bing, then smiled and said slowly in the tone of someone who has experienced it: "Don't worry, I know the old man's temper best. If you make these simple things complicated, the old man will not only not accept them, but may also spit on you directly. It will be a loss that will be worth it at that time..."
"I feel like I have a deep understanding of the fourth uncle's tone..."
"That's it! I just finished my crown and just happened to be on the old man's birthday. I......Oh?? You ghost girl, want to hear my joke, right?" After Li Jingan said that, he glanced at Yan Bing, continued to carry his hand on his back, and walked forward with great strides.
Yan Bing shrugged with a wicked smile and followed silently.
The two chatted all the way. When they returned to Baolong Pavilion, several black guards were already painting the newly-fitted door. The skillful movements and smooth techniques made Yan Bing secretly give his thumbs up!
It is worthy of being a spy department, and it is indeed versatile...
But... Zeng Bo is so stupid, why do you have to change the door to others?
Yan Bing's puzzled expression was also taken into view by Li Jingan beside him...
"Last night, your good-looking leader came to the door and opened it. It happened that the old man was in a bad mood, so the elder brother came to discuss the matter. The elder brother meant that the other party was kind and came to help. It was a misunderstanding, so we repaired this door ourselves, but the commander was obviously a stubborn mind and arranged for someone to build a new door overnight. I guess the elder brother didn't know it yet. Let's go... This is not what we need to care about..."
Li Jingan relieved Yan Bing's confusion in a few words, and then walked towards the backyard first, and went to Li Chengxiao's bamboo building. Li Jingan snatched the gift list from Yan Bing's hand, hugged it in his arms, and said in a deep voice: "You go in first, I will accompany you to finish singing this double act..."
After saying that, Li Jingan stretched out two fingers and shook them in front of Yan Bing. It was obvious that he was reminding Yan Bing about the agreement before. Yan Bing nodded quickly. Only then did Li Jingan smile and said lightly on Yan Bing's back: "Go!"
"Dongdong"
"Dongdong"
"Dongdong"
...
…………
Every time Yan Bing takes a step, he can clearly hear his heartbeat...
She didn't know what kind of "storm" would be waiting for her behind this door...
But the only thing she knew was that she had to face this disaster herself, whether she was dead or cruel, and she could not blame her...
Don't……
people……
Yan Bing stared at Li Lingyue who was opening the door with wide eyes, and stood there in a daze...
"Why are you here!??"
"Nonsense! This is my grandfather's room, why can't I come?" Ling Yue gave Yan Bing a angrily glance, then raised her hand, pulled her in, and closed the door...
"I have told my grandfather about the cause and effect. Look, Wen Miao and Xue Kui were also called by me. The three of us have been chatting with my grandfather for a whole morning, but we can't find you. Where did you go in the early morning??"
"I...I've gone to buy some New Year's expenses..." Yan Bing explained hesitantly, then hurriedly bowed deeply to Li Chengxiao who was sitting next to him...
At this moment, Li Chengxiao no longer had the anger he looked yesterday. Instead, he waved his hand at Yan Bing with a smile, pointed to the seat next to him, and said softly: "Come on, kid, come and sit here."
"Oh, yes." Yan Bing squeezed out a very well-behaved smile as much as possible, and then slowly sat on the pier beside him. During this period, he also secretly glanced at Xuekui and Wen Miao's side faces...
Xue Kui... still looked careless, sitting there was like she was at her own house, she crossed her legs, held a tea bowl, and talked erotic...
Wen Miao... still looked like a lady from a family, sitting upright and considerate, but her face was no longer as shy as she usually saw strangers. It was obvious that she had a great time talking to the old man...
"All are good kids... I feel clean... I also value love and friendship... You girl, this is a blessing you have cultivated in life..." Li Chengxiao took advantage of Xue Kui's lack of mouth to drink tea before stroking her beard and looking at Yan Bing, and nodding gently.
What!???
My heart is clean!????
I agree with you, Lingyue and Wen Miao!
But Xue Kui is so kind!??, you have no problem with your eyes!????
Although Yan Bing smiled bitterly in his heart, he could not say that, so he could only echo: "I am very lucky... I am even more fortunate..."
"Especially this girl," Li Chengxiao raised his hand and pointed to Xue Kui in front of her, and then praised her loudly: "Don't look at this girl, who is unpretentious and ruthless on the surface, but just counting her, she is the purest... and the most transparent..."
She is still pure!???
Ah yes... pure...
Pure colored blank...
Yan Bing nodded in agreement on the surface, and almost burst into laughter in his heart...
I don’t know how Xue Kui can fool the old man on the other side, but the only thing Yan Bing is sure of is that she does have this strength...
"And this child... looks weak and gentle, but in fact he has a strong personality and is not a complete one. Once the person she is recognized by her, she can give up everything. This is somewhat similar to my Yue'er..." Li Chengxiao pointed to Wen Miao happily, and seemed to be quite recognized.
Well……
This time you always say it right, I can't argue.
Yan Bing nodded sincerely...
"As for you, a child... you have both the tenderness and meticulousness of a girl, and the courage and courage that only a boy should have... In this regard, it also has some secret concord with Yue'er..."
OK...I understand...
As long as it is an advantage, it will be related to your baby granddaughter, right?
"Just just now, I heard them tell many interesting stories and anecdotes about the four of you getting along. You four have supported each other and have gone through life and death, so I feel..."
"Dongdongdongdong..."
Just as Li Chengxiao talked about the most critical point, Yan Bing and others held their breath and listened carefully, the door of the bamboo building was suddenly knocked...
Old Man Li glanced at the door and muttered in a low voice: "Don't worry about it for now...so I think..."
"Dongdongdongdong..."
Another knock on the door interrupted Li Chengxiao's words. Everyone saw the old man's expression and quickly persuaded him with kind words and opened the door. Sure enough, the one who came in was Li Jingan who had been waiting in the yard for a long time and could not hear any movement.
After Li Jingan entered the door, he was slightly stunned. He looked at the confused eyes of everyone, smiled awkwardly, and quickly said politely: "Oh... are all here... Then I'll come back later..."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"I've come here, just say something if you have something to do! There is no outsider!" Li Chengxiao looked up at the seat and glanced at Li Jing'an. Just this glance, and added the sentence "No outsider", Li Jing'an immediately understood the progress of the situation, quickly turned his eyes and changed his words...
"Dad, Qihua just bought some New Year's goods and placed them in the front yard. I don't know if I should collect them. I'm here to ask you to give me some advice, so I can do it..."
"That's all..." Li Chengxiao sat upright slightly, stroked his beard, then looked at Li Jing'an, and said loudly: "Things are the child's filial piety. You should accept it. Since you are here, Dad still has some things to tell you to do."
"Oh, okay dad, you said..." Li Jing'an knew that even if he didn't have to work hard, he had already stepped over it. Naturally, he tried to speak as little as possible to avoid more mistakes and more mistakes.
But what Mr. Li said next still scared everyone!
"In the afternoon, call your elder brother and sister-in-law, and your third brother and couple to go and buy red candle wedding clothes, phoenix crowns and red veils, and then put on the front hall to decorate. Tomorrow, Qihua and Lingyue will get married!"
"ah--!???"
When everyone heard this, they were shocked and stood up one after another and looked at Li Chengxiao...
Li Jingan was even more puzzled and quickly reminded: "Dad, these three books, six rituals, three media and six hirings, eight big sedan chairs, ten miles of red makeup, all of them are indispensable! In addition, I will pay homage to ancestors tomorrow, which is a bit of a conflict... Is this... a little too hurrying??"
"Sacrifice to ancestors? Your father, I was raised by your master. I don't know who my ancestors are! Besides, there are not so many rules for the children of the world! I ask you to do it, just do it! Don't say too much!" After Li Chengxiao said that, he waved his sleeves and a gust of palm wind directly pushed open the door of the bamboo building. This action was obviously saying that if you don't leave, I will kick you out!
Li Jingan naturally knew the current affairs, so he quickly lifted his clothes, ran out, and didn't say a word of nonsense...
Looking at Li Jing'an's back as he fled in a hurry, Li Chengxiao waved his sleeves, and the two doors closed with the wind. Then he looked at everyone happily and said softly: "Come on, sit down, let's continue talking about us..." It was as if what he said just now was just a trivial matter...
However, only Li Chengxiao knew best in his heart why he was so anxious...
Because through this morning's talk, he completely understood three things.
First,
Yue'er, a child, has given up and will not marry Qihua. If he blocks him, Yue'er will not only run away from home again, but may even never come back in his life...
second,
Xue Kui and Wen Miao are both good-minded and have a deep relationship with Lingyue. They are as close as sisters. It is obviously impossible to break up the relationship between them and Qi Hua...
third,
Since he was unable to change this matter, he could only settle for the second best and determine the position of Yue'er's wife. The only way to ensure that everything is foolproof is to complete the gift under his nose! To avoid long nights of dreams...
The hero of a generation, Li Chengxiao, has basically used the few tricks and wisdom in his life to seek happiness for his precious granddaughter. It is really lamentable... It's so sad...
