The family had a lively meal. Awu carried several large bamboo baskets into the kitchen, and together with Sister Mei and Yuting, hung out all kinds of food that should be hung and marinated the food.
Li Xiaonan made tea again, handed it to the eldest sister, and the second sister poured another cup herself.
Li Jinzhu pointed to a few account books placed on the lower table of the nave and said with a smile:
"Those two account books, one was given by the uncle in the lobby, and it said you asked him to see how many cotton seedlings were planted. He looked at every place he passed, and everything was written on it.
"This book is given to you by the Hong family master. The Hong family master I met the day before yesterday. The Hong family master said he would not go anywhere else and rushed back to Kunshan County to celebrate the New Year. This is what he asked your third brother-in-law to copy to you overnight.
.
"There is also a book with the number of students enrolled in each of our schools. Our schools are really good."
Li Jinzhu couldn't help laughing when she mentioned the Weaver School.
There were many women in the Weaver School who were in the same difficult situation as they were back then. When they talked to her timidly, their eyes were shining brightly.
"This year, grandma will have to bury herself in the ledger." Li Yuzhu raised her hand and touched Li Xiaonan's cheek.
"That's a lot! Drizzle! I can finish it in one day, no, two days at most. I made an agreement with Ai Ye that we will watch ten dramas this year!" Li Xiaonan raised her chin in triumph and smiled.
Tao.
"I asked you not to talk nonsense again and again!" Li Jinzhu leaned over and slapped Li Xiaonan.
"Maybe it's not hollow glutinous rice balls. Grandma is very smart. Let's see. If she can't finish it in two days, we'll punish her by brushing the toilet until New Year's Eve." Li Yuzhu said with a smile.
"Three days, three days!" Li Xiaonan hurriedly raised three fingers and shouted.
"Look!" Li Jinzhu leaned over and started to hit her again. Li Xiaonan jumped up and hid behind the second sister.
"Eldest Sister, the Hong family sent a letter, saying that Third Sister seems to be pregnant!" Li Xiaonan hid behind Second Sister and quickly changed the subject.
"Like? Is the month too small, or..." Li Jinzhu did not dare to say the next words.
"It's very good, but the month is too young!" Li Xiaonan replied hurriedly.
"Sister Sana wrote a letter, saying that her menstruation has always been accurate, but this time it was twenty days late. She didn't feel uncomfortable, but she just felt that something was wrong. She quietly asked the doctor to check her pulse. The doctor said that the pulse was strong.
She is very strong and strong.
"More than ten days passed, and the menstrual period still hadn't come, so the third sister said that the Hong family invited several doctors to check her pulse. They still said that the pulse was strong and powerful, and that she looked very good and had no polydip or fever.
The symptoms and the tongue coating are also fine. It is said that it is probably caused by pregnancy and strong qi and blood. It is said that the pregnancy pulse will be diagnosed in half a month." Li Xiaonan said in one breath.
Li Jinzhu and Li Yuzhu exhaled together. You looked at me, I looked at you, and they looked at Li Xiaonan. Li Xiaonan was confused by the two of them, "What's wrong?"
"I heard from people that giving birth to a child in a noble family like Wang Fu's is very smooth. They say they have a secret recipe and have been very particular about it since conception. Can you please ask Wang Fu to give us some advice?" Li Jinzhu said straightforwardly.<
/p>
"Okay!" Li Xiaonan nodded immediately, but she was extremely surprised.
The eldest sister has always been taboo about her relying too much on the prince... Well, this matter is related to the lives of the third aunt, mother and child. When it comes to life and death, the eldest sister has never been rigid. There is nothing more important than the lives of her younger sister and brother.
It's more important.
"You don't need to tell the prince about this. I just need to tell Wan Qing. Wan Qing is very powerful."
Li Xiaonan thought about it and immediately added something. Facing the eldest sister's raised eyebrows, she quickly added, "I'm really not talking nonsense this time. Wan Qing is a second-class person and has more than a dozen people under her control." p>
Seeing that the eldest sister didn't relax her brows, Li Xiaonan immediately changed the topic: "Sister Mei said that four families came to propose marriage to the second sister? The second sister doesn't know yet, does she?"
Li Yuzhu was startled and looked at Li Jinzhu hurriedly.
"There are four families." Li Jinzhu laughed.
Li Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, held up the cup, and looked down at the tea in the cup.
"Sister, please tell me!" Li Xiaonan dragged the small bamboo chair and sat down next to Li Jinzhu.
"All four are good." Li Jinzhu said with a smile on his face, "One is the Wang family of Fuxing Building on Fuqian Street. Fuxing Building is one of the largest restaurants in Pingjiang City. The Wang family is very wealthy. He is the third eldest son of their family.
She is a good-looking person, but she is two years younger than your second sister. Not counting two years, she is one year and five months old."
"Are you smart in studying? Which school are you in? Character is the most important thing." Li Xiaonan answered with a smile.
"You say you are quite smart. You are studying in a private school. I didn't have time to ask your brother. Maybe your brother knows him."
"What about the second one?"
"The second family said that his master was leading an envoy in the Pingjiang Weaving Department. From the eighth grade, this is the eldest son. He is the same age as your second sister. He said that he just arrived in Pingjiang City and failed to pass the scholar examination in his hometown.
Dad asked him to go to our Pingjiang City Affiliated School. I don’t think much of this. My family is out of town, and I can’t bear to leave you, my second sister.”
"I can't bear to part with it, but it depends on the second sister's wishes. If the second sister likes this house, then she should listen to the second sister." Li Xiaonan nodded quickly.
"Your second sister is not like you, who thinks every time she comes up." Li Jinzhu raised his hand and patted Li Xiaonan on the head. "There are two other good families, but they are much worse than these two."<
/p>
Li Jinzhu finished talking about the other two companies in one breath, and Li Xiaonan nodded in agreement. They were indeed much worse than the previous two.
"The worst family is much better than ours. They are all talking about grandma." Li Yuzhu lowered his eyes and said.
Li Jinzhu laughed and said, "I have said this too. The aunt in the lobby said: This is how marriage is discussed. First, look at the family and then the person. When the Hong family got married to us, they didn't just look at grandma, they all
Look at Grandma.
"To this day, Aunt Hall said, even now, the Hong family has become a worthy family."
Li Jinzhu patted Li Yuzhu gently and continued: "The lobby aunt said that when people come to the door now, they will not only look at grandma, but also look at Yinzhu, look at Xuedong, and look at our Lijiaji." "Sister, what you said is so good!" Li Xiaonan quickly applauded.
Li Jinzhu turned to look at Li Xiaonan, sighed, and raised his hand to caress Li Xiaonan's head.
The lobby aunt talked about A'nan's marriage, which was the most difficult thing for her, and she felt the same way. She couldn't sleep when she thought about it. Fortunately, A'nan was still young, so she could afford to delay it for a few years.
Early the next morning, Li Yuzhu rushed to the preserved egg workshop to check. Li Jinzhu got up at dawn, and Sister Mei was busy packing things, scrubbing everywhere, and preparing to return to Lijia to celebrate the New Year.
Li Xiaonan woke up naturally from her sleep. She spent a long time picking through the various pastries and fruits brought back by her eldest sister and second sister. She picked two items and ate them with tea. She held a stack of account books and an abacus.
Go to the wing to check the account reconciliation.
There is a long table in the middle of the wing, with a chair on each side. Li Xiaonan and her brother Li Xuedong share this long table.
Li Xiaonan put away a pile of account books and abacus, went out again, brought tea and water, brought up her small bamboo basket containing pens, inks, paper and inkstones, arranged the paper and inkstones, turned the small bamboo basket upside down, and found a small piece of ink.
No blocks were found.
She remembered clearly that the little ink heads were placed in the corner of the small bamboo basket, and there were four or five pieces!
Li Xiaonan turned the small bamboo basket upside down and looked again carefully, but there was still nothing.
Where did it go?
Sister Mei is illiterate and is afraid of throwing away useful things, so she never throws away her things. She doesn't throw away the balls of waste paper, let alone the little inkhead. Throwing the inkhead on the edge of the paper is a waste! p>
Where did her ink head go?
In the evening, Li Xuedong came back early. He stood at the door of the wing and looked in. Li Xiaonan hurriedly waved to him, pointed to her small bamboo basket and asked: "I have four or five pieces of ink piled in this corner of my bamboo basket."
,No, did you take it?"
The ink she used was obtained from the royal family. If Li Xuedong wrote any important articles, he would borrow ink from her.
"I didn't take it. I will definitely tell you if I want to use it. I have also lost the ink head in my basket several times. Maybe Sister Mei took it to dye something?" Li Xuedong stretched his head and looked at it.
"It's definitely not Sister Mei, that's strange!" Li Xiaonan put her pen against her chin, wondering.
