Gu Yan had to rush back to Linhai Town to see the silk orders in progress. After lunch, Li Xiaonan and Wan Qing got into a car. When they returned to their home in Pingjiang City, the middle of the yard was filled with bamboo baskets of all sizes.
Pack it up.
Li Xiaonan dragged a small chair by herself, sat on the porch, looked at the busyness in the yard, looked for a moment, and asked in a loud voice: "Where is the second sister?"
"I'm going to the workshop. Work will start tomorrow. If you, second sister, are worried, go over and have a look." Sister Mei replied loudly.
Li Xiaonan had an indescribable feeling in her heart, holding her chin in her hands and thinking.
In their family, the third sister is the easiest to talk to. The second sister is the one who talks less and is more thoughtful, so she is the one who is hardest to talk to. She is so busy that it is not easy to find a chance to talk.
I don’t have time to wait for this matter. Alas, it seems that I can only ask directly.
How to ask?
Even if she asked her about this matter in private, if she really wanted to do something, she would definitely need the eldest sister to nod first, so why not talk to the eldest sister first and let the eldest sister ask the second sister.<
/p>
The third sister said that the eldest sister and the second sister talk about everything.
Li Xiaonan made up her mind and walked to the eldest sister Li Jinzhu who was drying out a bamboo basket of sausages one by one.
"Sister, I have something to tell you."
"You tell me." Li Jinzhu bent down and took out another string of sausages.
"You have to say it quietly." Li Xiaonan lowered her voice.
"Huh?" Li Jinzhu turned to look at Li Xiaonan who was smiling, dried the sausages in his hands, rubbed the oil on his hands on a handful of dry vegetables, and asked Li Xiaonan, "Where can I say it?"
"Here, here, here is fine." Li Xiaonan pushed the eldest sister to sit on the corridor, pulled the small bamboo chair and moved it closer to the eldest sister.
"Sister, I told you to listen, don't make a sound and keep a straight face."
Li Jinzhu said silently.
"First of all, my ink head disappeared." Li Xiaonan started with the ink head.
Li Jinzhu nodded, she knew this.
"...That's it, the Motou was found." Li Xiaonan told the story of the Motou as simply as possible.
"You asked the prince to check a few pieces of ink for you?" Li Jinzhu looked at Li Xiaonan in disbelief.
"Huh?" Li Xiaonan was startled. Her eldest sister was going in the wrong direction, she was off!
"Sister, the second sister took this ink head away. When I asked, she kept her head silent. Is it rare that the eldest sister knows what's going on?" Li Xiaonan dragged her eldest sister to the right road. p>
"You and the prince..."
"Eldest sister, let's talk about the second sister first. The second sister's matters are more important..."
"The thing that your second sister and I are most worried about is you!"
"Let me talk about the second sister first. You will know after listening to it. I am much better than the second sister." Li Xiaonan pushed back the topic.
"Say!"
"I'm going to see that Ni Rushi today. Sister, please listen to me first! Don't stare, just hold still!"
Li Jinzhu took a deep breath and said, "Say it!"
"That Ni Rushi is very good-looking, but he is a little bit worse than the prince. The prince said that he is smart, has determination and can endure hardships, and is considered a talent. You have to ask the second sister if she has a crush on this Ni Rushi.
If you like it, that one."
Li Xiaonan looked at her eldest sister with a dry smile, "Look, it's still the second sister, right?"
The next day, when Li Xiaonan got up, the second sister had already left. The eldest sister was sitting on the porch, holding the soles of her shoes, waiting for Li Xiaonan to get up.
After Li Xiaonan finished washing, Sister Mei brought over two small buns, a bowl of porridge and a plate of steamed sausages left for her. Li Jinzhu took a comb and sat behind Li Xiaonan, combing her hair and talking.
"I asked your second sister. She said it was not interesting. It was just that it was not easy to look at Aunt Ni and her son. It was similar to our time. You didn't think you would need those ink heads, so you gave them to them." p>
"Then why is the second sister silent?" Li Xiaonan asked, twisting her head.
"Don't move." Li Jinzhu tapped Li Xiaonan with the comb, paused before continuing:
"I see what your second sister means. Alas, your second sister said: Ni Dalang is a talented man with a high spirit. She said that Aunt Ni told her about the matchmaker coming to propose marriage. She said that if Ni Dalang told her, if it happened
Dear, if he has a child in a year or two, he will only be able to focus on making money to support the family, and will not be able to concentrate on studying and taking exams.
"Ni Dalang said that he would take the exam until he was thirty years old. If he could not go to school at the age of thirty, he would give up and marry whatever he could. Then he would make money to support his family and live a good life.
"Your second sister said that if Ni Dalang didn't pass the exam when he was thirty, this marriage might be mentioned, but she thinks Ni Dalang will definitely pass the exam. Ni Dalang became a scholar. She is not worthy, and neither is our family.
No. Your second sister said she never dared to think too much about it."
Li Xiaonan snorted speciously.
It’s not that the second sister has never thought about this, but she has thought about it all over.
"Sister, do you want to go see that Ni Dalang? Ni Dalang is really good-looking, very tall, upright, and energetic." Li Xiaonan twisted her head and asked with a smile.
"Don't move. What do you mean? Why should I look at him?" Li Jinzhu patted Li Xiaonan on the head.
"The prince thinks he is quite good." Li Xiaonan said with a smile.
"Yuting said that the prince is very kind to you?" Li Jinzhu lowered his voice subconsciously.
Li Xiaonan said nothing.
"Yuting said that Awu always felt that the prince's acceptance of her would be of great use. He said that last winter, they met Mr. Shi Gunshi who was next to the prince, and Awu asked Mr. Shi and said yes."
Li Jinzhu paused.
"It's said that Mr. Shi said that the prince accepted Awu because he thought she was his daughter's family and it would be convenient for her to be with you."
Li Xiaonan hummed.
"Can't you say one more word to the eldest sister?" Li Jinzhu frowned and patted Li Xiaonan on the head.
"It's a good friend who can talk to each other. People like the prince are very particular about being able to talk. For a nobleman like him, it is extremely difficult to find someone who can talk." Li Xiaonan lowered her eyes and said.
"A'nan, your second sister really didn't think too much about it. Our family is very good now. Don't think too much about it. If you wrong yourself for the sake of your family, your second sister will marry Erlang Shen. She will also
I am not living a comfortable life." Li Jinzhu explained solemnly, word for word.
"Don't worry, eldest sister. Don't you know that eldest sister still doesn't know me? I never wrong myself." Li Xiaonan said with a smile.
"It's done. Yu Ting and I are going to Huating County for a trip. It's time to collect the hair. If you go out, ask Ah Wu to accompany you. Don't ride a horse. If you're close, just walk there. If you're far away, call a car."<
/p>
Li Jinzhu combed Li Xiaonan's hair, babbled a few words, picked up the cloth bag containing dry food, and called Yuting to go out.
Li Xiaonan walked around the yard a few times and decided to go to Guoxiang Town to see her weaver school.
