This is not the first time that the name Xiang Nan has sounded in the ears of the sisters, but this is the first time that this person has appeared in front of them.
Li Mingqi brushed the car curtain and was distracted, first because of the slight smile on the corner of the boy's mouth, and then because of the boy's name.
"Are you Xiang Nan?" Li Mingran was young and could only be curious but not distracted. He grabbed the car window with his hands and rushed out with his body and voice, "The person Li Minglou wants to marry?"
Li Minghua peeked through the gap between Li Mingqi and Li Mingran. The young man in front of the car had handsome eyebrows and starry eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned. This made him seem to always have a smile on his face, like a spring breeze.
Looking at the three girls crowded together by the car window, the spring breeze was a bit stronger, Xiang Nan's lips raised, "That's right."
Li Mingqi let go of the car curtain.
"Master Xiang?"
"It's Mr. Xiang from Taiyuan Prefecture!"
"Where are the people?"
The servants of the Li family who were following the car made a lot of noise, some came forward to greet him, some went to call for help, and the front door suddenly became lively.
It's quite unfortunate that a distinguished guest comes to visit.
"The old lady, the two masters and the two ladies have all gone out." The steward in front of the door welcomed the guests in, full of apologies, and then thought of something, "The fourth master and Mr. Xiang Jiu have gone out."
Xiang Nan handed the riding whip to the servant of the Li family, crossed the threshold and looked at the courtyard in front of him. Hearing this, he said, "I haven't gone to see my ninth brother yet."
He passed by where Xiang Jiuding was and went straight to the door of Li's house.
"Did grandma, uncle and aunt go out together?" Li Minghua asked from behind.
Because he saw that the person coming out was not the housekeeper, and heard that the second master was going out, Li Minghua did not let the carriage drive into the second door, but got out of the car and walked in together. When he heard that all three people in the family had gone out,
Very surprised.
Could it be that one of the family friends is old? Otherwise, how could the three of them go out together?
The butler's expression was a little strange: "The things sent by Jiannan Road have arrived."
Li Minghua understood what the things in Jiannan Road were. Li Min came here once, and there was a commotion at home. A steward came a few days ago, and the atmosphere at home became lively again. After being lively for so long, it was finally time to settle down.
Three people in the family went out because of these things. Li Minghua didn't want to and couldn't continue the topic: "Have you gone to invite me?"
The steward responded yes.
"Let brother Minghai come over first." Li Minghua said again.
Li Fengan got married late and only had one daughter and one son. The eldest daughter, Li Minglou, is only thirteen years old this year. Li Fengchang has two sons and two daughters. The two sons and the eldest daughter have already married and have children.
Li Fengchang's eldest son, Li Mingyuan, is studying abroad, and his second son, Li Minghai, is taking care of the family business and should be at home at this time.
The steward has been invited.
Li Minghua glanced at Xiang Nan, and then said to the steward: "Are Mingchuan, Mingyuan and Minghe in the school? Call them too."
Li Fengyao has two sons, and Li Fengjing has one son. They are about the same age as Xiang Nan, and they are both studying at clan schools.
The manager responded by asking someone to invite him.
Xiang Nan apologized on the side: "I suddenly came to ask for mercy."
Li Minghua is the eldest among the three sisters. At this time, her elders are not here and her brothers are not here, so she treats the guests generously.
Li Mingran followed behind and looked at it curiously. When he got the opportunity, he quickly asked: "Are you here to see Sister Minglou?"
Xiang Nan smiled at her: "I was out on business, and when I heard that something had happened to her, I took leave of absence and came here. I came in a hurry without saying hello first."
Li Mingran was even more curious: "You are about the same age as my third brother and fourth brother, and you are already working abroad? Did you come alone?" He turned around and did not see Xiang Nan's entourage, "You are walking alone, you are so brave...
..Why are you dragging me?"
The last words were said to Li Mingqi.
She turned to look at Li Mingqi, and Xiang Nan also looked over. Li Mingqi, who had been silent all this time, smiled, turned sideways and lowered his eyes and gave a shallow salute, Xiang Nan returned the salute.
Li Minghai came over after hearing the news and met with Xiang Nan.
Li Minghua pulled Li Mingran, who still wanted to ask questions, to leave. Li Mingqi looked back at the end and saw Xiang Nan returning the courtesy to Li Minghai: "...Is Miss Minglou okay? Brother, can you take me to see her?
"
There was really no time to talk, and she only wanted to ask Li Minglou. Li Mingqi withdrew her gaze and turned around the corridor and left the front hall.
"This is Mr. Xiang Nan." Li Mingran said softly, "He seems to be a very nice person."
Li Minghua said: "You don't need to look at him to know that he is a nice person."
How could the marriage Li Fengan decided for his daughter go wrong, and how could the Xiang family's carefully selected young master go wrong?
She was referring to family background, appearance, temperament and other factors that would make him suitable for marriage. Li Mingran had not thought of that much: "He speaks very well and is not as impatient with me as his brothers."
"That's because you are not his biological sister." Li Minghua knocked on her forehead, "If you follow me to my maternal grandfather's house, what will my cousins do to you?"
Li Mingran chuckled: "The Lin family brothers are also very good." He stuck out his tongue again, "But they are not as good-looking as Young Master Xiang Nan."
As long as there is a preference, no matter what is good, there is always a better one. Li Minghua rolled his eyes, Li Mingran smiled and shook her sleeves, and the two sisters laughed happily.
"Where's Mingqi?" Li Minghua thought of something and turned around.
Li Mingqi, who was following behind, gave her a crooked smile.
"Why didn't you say anything? I thought you were lost." Li Minghua looked at her suspiciously.
Li Mingqi pouted: "My words have caused so many troubles, and I don't want to talk recently."
Li Mingran chuckled: "How can I please my grandmother if I don't speak?"
"If you don't speak now, you just want to please grandma." Li Mingqi said slowly, and then thought of something to say, "Do you think Minglou will meet Mr. Xiang Nan?"
Li Minghua didn't even think about it: "Mingqi, your question is really bad."
Li Mingqi smiled: "I forgot, the eldest lady must have read the story of Mrs. Li in the history book."
Li Mingran hadn't read it yet and curiously asked about the story. Li Minghua simply told her: "The story is that the eldest lady will not meet Mr. Xiang at this time. This has nothing to do with history books or Mrs. Li, even if she is a woman."
The woman Li Mingran nodded in understanding: "Yes, Minglou's face cannot be seen. It would be bad if he scares Mr. Xiang away."
In view of Xiang Nan's status, Li Minghai agreed to his request and came here in person to inform and question Li Minglou.
Li Minglou was a little surprised when she heard that Xiang Nan had arrived. She didn't expect to see Xiang Nan so early in this life.
In that life, she arrived in Xiangnan, Taiyuan Prefecture and was not at home.
Most of the descendants of Xiang's family of poetry and etiquette studied for imperial examinations, but since Xiang Yun entered the military service through literature and gained power, he also selected his nephews to go to the army for training, and Xiang Nan was one of them.
At that time, he was training for the regiment in Xuanwu Town. He happened to escort the emperor's envoy to Fanyang to see that the An family could not return. Then the An family rebelled and fell into chaos. He did not return to Taiyuan Prefecture until the following winter. It was the longest time since Li Minglou came to Taiyuan Prefecture.
More than a year.
According to the time, Xiang Nan should have left Xuanwu Town with the envoys at this time, and he could not disobey the military order to welcome his fiancée and hold an engagement. Can he disobey it when he heard that his fiancée had an accident and returned home?
Li Minglou put his head in his hands and thought, and couldn't help but smile.
Jin Jue saw the corner of her mouth and guessed, "Miss, do you want to invite Mr. Xiang to come?"
Invite him to come? After he comes... kill him, Li Minglou gently rubbed his hand on the wrapping cloth on his chin.
