Watching Mrs. Shi go away, Wan Qing rushed to Li Xiaonan's side.
"What did you say to the eldest lady? You didn't say anything else to her, right? You can't talk nonsense anymore!"
"I didn't say anything!" Li Xiaonan immediately shook her head.
"You've been talking to her for a long time and you really didn't say anything?" Wan Qing looked suspicious.
"She said she wouldn't give in." Li Xiaonan smiled dryly.
"Don't give in? What do you mean by that!" Wan Qing's eyes widened.
"That's what I mean." Before Wan Qing could scream, Li Xiaonan hurriedly continued: "I didn't say anything, she said it herself!"
"How can she get married if she doesn't give in? The one in front of her is the prince, our prince!" Wan Qing suppressed her voice hard, but her anger became stronger because of the suppression of her voice.
"That's...that one, right." Li Xiaonan pushed back hard, leaning against the back of the chair, with a dry smile on her face.
"It seems that I have to find a way to stay in Jiangnan!" Wan Qing wailed and sat down on the armchair next to Li Xiaonan.
"What does it have to do with you?" Li Xiaonan failed to respond.
"Everyone knows that she thought about it after talking to you once! But she didn't want to give in! If she doesn't give in, she will definitely not be able to get married!
"When the time comes, even if the Shi family can't do anything, we, the princess, will have to beat a few and punish a few. For this matter, it's just you and me. We, the princess, can't punish you, but I!" Wan Qing!
Another cry.
Li Xiaonan blinked several times, stayed blank for a moment, and sighed.
This is called expressing anger, but when something goes wrong, it is an old tradition to beat and punish everyone who comes up to express anger.
"You can just stay. Jiangnan is so nice. Does your palace have a weaving mill in Jiangnan? If so, you might as well go to Jiangnan Weaving Mill as a steward. That would be great." Li Xiaonan patted Wan Qing.
"Okay, okay!" Wan Qing slapped Li Xiaonan's hand away, "You really shouldn't be talking nonsense, you don't even know how difficult it is for a woman to stay unmarried! I have two aunts and an aunt.
After getting married, you will be very pitiful in the end!"
"How pitiful? No money?" Li Xiaonan asked.
"They are rich, have been employed all their lives, and have a lot of support, but they feel so lonely! Alas, especially during the New Year, when there are many rules, there is no place they can go, and they look so lonely and scared.
We juniors would go out to get money with a smiling face, begging people to talk to her, saying they were lonely, it was like that, ugh!"
"I don't think Mrs. Shi would be like this." Li Xiaonan said seriously.
"Why not! They're all the same!" Wan Qing didn't feel angry at all.
"That Second Mrs. Pan, is she considered old now? If not, in ten, twenty or thirty years, do you think she will be as lonely and pitiful as your aunt and aunt?" Li Xiaonan pushed her.
Wan Qing's shoulders made her face him and asked.
"The second wife is a widow, it's different!"
"Are all widows like the second wife?" Li Xiaonan said rudely.
Wanqing lay sideways on her.
"I remember you said once, the second wife was chatting with someone, and they talked about how difficult it was to take care of a baby. The second wife answered, and they said she had never taken care of a baby before. If your aunt heard you say something like this,
It must have been heartbreaking and painful, and I had to cry several times when I had to carry someone else’s back, but the second wife just laughed and said no, she had never suffered such a crime.
"You see, people are different. People like the eldest lady are determined and determined. She is not alone." After a pause, Li Xiaonan continued: "My eldest sister combs herself. I think she won't be able to move until she is old.
I won’t be lonely or bored when I’m in school. Mrs. Shi is much better than my eldest sister,”
Li Xiaonan clapped the book in her hand, looked at Wan Qing and smiled: "I think I can do it too. You definitely can't."
Wan Qing glanced sideways at Li Xiaonan, then snorted for a moment.
Li Xiaonan left the company half an hour later than usual.
After getting in the car at the second door, Wan Qing smiled and said: "The tea house just sent someone over, saying that your family has moved, and asked you to go directly to the new house."
Li Xiaonan has heard from the eldest sister that she wants to move as soon as possible, so there is no surprise.
The driver drove the car straight to the gate of the newly purchased house of the Li family. Wan Qing opened the car curtain, watched Li Xiaonan get out of the car, and asked: "You really can't make it tomorrow? How about I come over?"<
/p>
"No, I want to stay at home and pack my things." Li Xiaonan and Wan Qing waved goodbye.
Wan Qing lifted the curtain and watched Li Xiaonan open the door and go in, then told the coachman to go back.
The person who opened the door was Ah Wu. He stretched his head and watched the cart go away. He closed the door and followed Li Xiaonan in a few steps.
"Your uncle and aunt are here, your second uncle is here, and your cousin, Weng Weng, are all here." There was an indescribable flavor in Awu's tone.
Li Xiaonan glanced at Awu and ignored her.
In the eyes of the eldest and second aunts, this luxurious mansion is indeed larger than the house in Cailian Lane, but it is just a courtyard with three entrances.
The plot of land is irregular, and the courtyard gate and head are to the east of the main courtyard as soon as you enter the courtyard. After entering the gate, past the screen wall, there is a small room to the east, and a moon door to the west leads to the main courtyard.
The main courtyard is square and upright, with a row of inverted seats in front of a wide verandah. At the end of the verandah is a small courtyard outside the Aquarius Gate.
Behind the main courtyard is the third entrance courtyard, with three kitchens in the northwest corner, surrounded by low parapets, a row of back rooms to the east, and a small garden at the back.
All the doors in the house are open, they haven't been cleaned yet, and every room is empty.
Li Xiaonan looked around for a while before entering the main courtyard.
The aunt in the lobby, Sister-in-law Guo, was carrying a copper kettle of boiling water from the kitchen yard. She smiled at Li Xiaonan and said, "Have you read it again? How did it go?"
"That's great!" Li Xiaonan smiled.
"We were discussing how to live here. I asked your eldest sister to live in the main courtyard. Your eldest sister refused and said that your brother would live there." The aunt in the lobby said as she and Li Xiaonan entered the upper room one after another.
.
There was an old table made of white stubble wood placed in the middle of the upper room. Li Xiaonan glanced around and didn't see the loom, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Their loom has always been the most precious household item and is placed in the middle of the main room.
"Grandma is back."
Li Shikuan, the hostess, greeted with a smile. Li Wenliang stood up, took everyone's cups, and helped the receptionist make tea again.
The second uncle, Li Wenru, leaned forward, stood up halfway, hesitated, and sat back down.
Li Xuedong gave his small bamboo chair to Li Xiaonan and found a small mat to sit on.
"Is everything okay?" Li Jinzhu asked with concern.
"It's okay, the second uncle is a rare guest." Li Xiaonan bowed to greet him one by one, sat down next to Li Jinzhu, looked at Li Wenru and said with a smile.
Li Wenru smiled and nodded yes, looking at his father Li Shikuan.
"He came here from Linhai Town." Li Shikuan said bluntly, "Something big has happened in Linhai Town. Please tell A-nan."
"Yesterday, the entire Linhai Town was sealed off, and there were soldiers everywhere. Those soldiers all spoke Mandarin with foreign accents, and they all had evil spirits. I'm afraid they were all soldiers who had gone to the battlefield and killed people.
"More than a dozen houses were raided, many warehouses were ransacked, and many people were arrested. When I came, there was nothing going on in the town. There was a circle of soldiers standing on the pier where the palace shed was set up, and they were filled with evil spirits.
"Li Wenru raised his heart slightly and looked at Li Xiaonan.
"Did you want to come here on your own, or did you come here because many people asked you to come?" Li Xiaonan looked at Li Wenru and asked.
"Many people have asked me. I also want to come over and talk to my elder brother." Li Wenru felt a little uncomfortable.
"Many people have come to visit me here. Mr. Cao from the government office, President Shi from the silk shop, Mr. Yu Xing, and many others have all avoided me." Li Wenliang smiled, which was more natural than Li Wenru. "It seems like this is the first time that the entire Linhai Town has been sealed and arrested." Li Shikuan looked at Li Xiaonan and said.
"I don't know, let alone can't speak. It's not what we should know. We can do whatever we need to do." Li Xiaonan spoke slowly, word by word.
Li Shikuan frowned, then relaxed his brows for a moment, and nodded: "It seems like it's all a big deal, and it doesn't involve us, so we can do whatever we need to do."
Li Xiaonan hummed.
Li Wenru breathed a sigh of relief.
With these words, he can feel at ease and worry about what he should be busy with.
