Li Yinzhu's marriage took a turn for the worse. This huge momentum hit Li Jinzhu, and Li Yuzhu was stunned and at a loss.
Except for the one at Prince Rui's Mansion, all the other additions, including the He family in Linhai Town, were all added to the name of the nobleman Li Shikuan.
Xuedong, the patriarch of the clan, was still giving lectures at the county school, and she and Yuzhu couldn't squeeze in, let alone talk.
The long procession of betrothal gifts from the Hong family started with two snow-white live sheep tied with red flowers and two jars of fine wine, followed by gold clothes, pomegranate red skirts, gold emerald heads and faces, pearls and gold utensils, colored satins and fine silks, and scented tea fruits.
There was a long queue and the cakes were delivered to Lijiaji.
Li Jinzhu, separated by several layers of people, looked at Mr. Gao, Mr. Hong Xiucai, Li Shikuan and others who were greeting each other politely. He stared at them for a while, then turned and walked back.
A Wu, Wang Yuting, and children of all sizes ran out to watch the fun.
Li Xiaonan was sitting at the door of the wing, concentrating on writing. Sister Mei was sitting at the door of the kitchen, choosing vegetables.
The courtyard is quiet and quiet.
Seeing Li Jinzhu come in, Li Xiaonan put down her pen and looked at the eldest sister, who didn't look very good.
Li Jinzhu picked up a small bamboo chair and sat next to Li Xiaonan.
"Your second sister and I," Li Jinzhu paused for a moment before saying in a low voice, "I'm a little scared."
Li Xiaonan moved her chair and was next to the eldest sister.
"Sister-in-law Lu of our Preserved Egg Shop, the second sister gets along very well with her. She often talks to her and likes to sit with her when eating." Li Xiaonan looked at Li Jinzhu.
Li Jinzhu frowned, and for a moment, he hummed.
"You said that Sister-in-law Yin told you that people in the workshop are very fond of Sister-in-law Lu. Someone often brings a handful of green vegetables, a bag of green beans, a few cucumbers, etc. to Sister-in-law Lu. Just ask the second sister, is Sister-in-law Lu here?
She talked about who was good and who was bad in front of her." Li Xiaonan continued.
Li Jinzhu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"The prince and I were the same way. He thought he could talk to me and was willing to talk to me. So someone sent a handful of green vegetables and a few green onions to our house."
Li Jinzhu frowned again, and for a moment, Li Jinzhu's brows tightened, "Ana, if you tell me this way, is it too much for Tang Wengweng, the others, and the Hong family to accept gifts like this?"
"Unless one family doesn't accept the extra makeup, otherwise, if you accept this one, you have to accept that one." Li Xiaonan looked at Li Jinzhu.
Li Jinzhu hummed and sighed.
This is human kindness.
"We can't control the Hong family. If the eldest sister feels something is wrong, she should go find her cousin, who should be able to listen." Li Xiaonan held Li Jinzhu's arm.
"Your brother is not here..." Li Jinzhu paused before finishing his sentence.
Xuedong spends more and more time outside. She can no longer point her finger at Xuedong to block everything at home. She doesn't need to use Xuedong's banner. What she wants to say is what she means and what their sisters mean!
"I'm going to talk to Mr. Wengweng." Li Jinzhu paused in his words and was silent for a moment. He looked at Li Xiaonan and said in a low voice: "Ana, this is true. How many days can it be said? Maybe it won't be true in a few days. Besides, then, then
This noble person is from the capital, so he can't stay in Pingjiang Mansion forever, in the future?"
Li Jinzhu didn't say anything else, and she didn't know what to say. If the noble man left, or didn't like talking to Grandma anymore, what would happen to their family?
"I don't know either." Li Xiaonan said in a low voice, "Sister, that prince's relationship with our family started with the eggs in that yard.
"The business of the preserved egg shop is indeed very prosperous because of the palace's care. However, without the palace's care, we can still do well in the preserved egg store, right? Our preserved eggs are delicious, and Sister-in-law Yin can do business.
The eldest sister and the second sister are capable and can endure hardships."
"Without that yard of eggs, where would the preserved egg business come from?" Li Jinzhu sighed softly.
"Then!" Li Xiaonan paused and lowered her eyes and said, "Sister, if we go back to before there was no eggs in that yard, do you think we can survive?"
"Yes, why not?" Li Jinzhu replied, silent for a moment, looking at Li Xiaonan and smiling: "No matter what, your brother's talent is our own. As long as we have this, no matter what, it will be better than when we were in Xiaoli Village."
Much more.
"Just keep writing, I'll go outside and take a look."
Li Jinzhu stood up, looked at Li Xiaonan who was looking up at her, stretched out his hand and scratched her face, "With you and your brother in our family, we can make it better no matter what."
"Yeah!" Li Xiaonan smiled.
………………………………
At the invitation of Huang County Master, Li Xuedong gave two or three lectures on Confucian classics and ten more lectures on Gezhi in Kunshan County. It was only a few days before Li Yinzhu got married.
Li Xuedong bid farewell to Mr. Huang County.
Huang Xianzun asked Li Xuedong to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, pointed to a big red gold invitation on the table next to him, and said with a smile to Li Xuedong: "Your third sister's personal visit was very lively. Did you hear that?"
No?"
"I've heard a little bit." Li Xuedong bowed slightly and replied respectfully.
What he heard were all complaints made by Brother Hong to him. They were not complaining about the Li family, but complaining that he had an idea all at once, and it was too frustrating.
"I heard that it started getting more lively when the Crown Prince of Prince Rui's Palace put on makeup." Huang County Master said in a gentle voice, with a smile on his face, and looked at Li Xuedong carefully.
Li Xuedong looked at Huang County Zun.
"You said your sister and the prince are friends?" Huang Xianzun met Li Xuedong's obviously confused look and asked with a smile.
"Grandma rarely talks about it. When the students came back from this trip, they went directly to the county. I haven't seen Grandma and the eldest sister yet, so I don't know very well." Li Xuedong answered honestly.
"You are a good child." Huang Xianzun's eyes were full of pity, "I remember your sister, she is thin and small, with bright eyes. She is a smart child at first glance."
Huang Xianzun paused, lowered his eyes, took a few sips of tea, put down the cup, sighed, looked at Li Xuedong and said: "You siblings have lost your parents and have no one to teach you, so I will rely on my elders and talk more."
Sentence."
"Please teach me, sir." Li Xuedong immediately bowed his hands.
"It is a great blessing to be able to make friends with such a noble person as the Crown Prince. The greater the blessing, the more careful you must be and the more you must cherish blessings. Where you make progress, you will want to regress. When you start, try to let go first. Don't draw the bow full, it will be overwhelming.
Do your best."
Huang Xianzun spoke every word slowly.
Li Xuedong listened attentively. Seeing that Mr. Huang had stopped talking, he hurriedly bowed and thanked, "The students have been taught."
"Well, go back and tell your sister. Your sister is a smart child. Okay, let's go back." Huang County Zun raised his hand and patted Li Xuedong's shoulder.
"Yes, thank you for your advice, Mr. Li Xuedong." Li Xuedong stood up, thanked Mr. Huang again, and retired.
