Chapter 269 The lady takes the initiative to come to the door
Li Siye asked Zhang Xiaojing to sit on the sheep's felt. The tea in the tea bowl was gurgling non-stop. He scooped up three bowls of tea and passed them to the two of them. He talked eloquently: "My son likes this courtyard, and so do I. Besides,
When I come back to Chang'an in the future, I can still stay here."
"After we leave, I would like to ask you to take care of the yard."
"no problem."
Zhang Xiaojing nodded without hesitation.
The three of them sat in the main room drinking tea until the afternoon. Zhang Xiaojing and Zhang Lu stood up to say goodbye. He sent the two of them out of the courtyard and was about to turn back. Suddenly he saw a figure standing in the distance, wearing a white robe with a head on his head.
She wears a high bun with a hosta tied across the side; she carries two long swords behind her back and holds a bundle in her hands.
Li Siye was stunned for a moment and shrugged helplessly. Twelve Niangs walked forward with small steps, looking at him with lowered heads and eyes, as if waiting for his verdict.
He couldn't bear such a small look, so he could only frown and said: "You're here, come in."
Twelve Niang nodded vigorously, followed him shyly with her bundle in her arms, and walked into the yard.
She had been to this courtyard once, and she could smell Li Siye in it, feel his presence, and imagine him squatting on the porch. The mulberry trees in the courtyard also felt familiar.
Even his sister feels very close to her. This is probably because of Aiwujiwu.
Now he was standing in this courtyard, just like she imagined, the man and the surrounding scenery were perfectly integrated.
It's just that she was too embarrassed. An unmarried woman took the initiative to put down her shame and came to the man's home. Without the three matchmaking certificates and no orders from her parents, this behavior was regarded as elopement in the eyes of others.
Her only advantage is that she has no family fetters, and her master Gongsun is quite open-minded. Without this, all her pursuits are just extravagant hopes.
The maid at home walked out of the wing room outside the courtyard and looked at the woman behind Li Siye with unscrupulous eyes. Aunt Wu blinked and asked: "Alang wants to ask for a girl at home again? This young man is not as steady as the old bones like us."
"
"What a look." Li Siye turned around and looked Li Twelve Niang up and down, sighed and said, "This is one of my guests, a friend, who will stay at home for two days."
Madam Wu and Madam Chen looked over Twelve Niang's body, and they whispered: "I'm afraid this is not a girl from a good family, she seems to be the one who came last time. How could a girl from a good family come to the door on her own initiative? Could it be that this lady is from Pingkang?"
Fang Alang is too good at spending money carelessly."
The Twelfth Mother suddenly stopped and turned around to cast a sharp look at the two old maids. The two of them suddenly felt a chill on their bodies, goosebumps appeared, and they hurriedly covered their mouths and kept silent.
I'm afraid this lady is not only from Pingkangfang, but also difficult to offend.
Li Meier sat on the verandah holding a book, smiled at Twelve Niangs, pointed at her and said to Li Siye: "This sister is the lady who once visited our house. Brother, you should tell the matchmaker that you are marrying her. With such a name
If you live at home without being honest, you will be laughed at by outsiders."
Twelve Niang smiled slightly awkwardly, and looked at Li Meier with sweet gratitude.
Li Meier's words made the two old maids open their eyes in surprise. It turned out that this woman was not from Pingkangfang, but a woman from a good family. An unmarried woman dared to come to a strange man's home so openly. How bold and bold this woman was.
.
Li Siye ordered the two old maids: "Clean up the west wing and let Twelve Niangs live in it."
"But," the old maid asked hesitantly, "this is Alang's room, where do you sleep at night?"
Li Siye said flatly: "Mei'er and I went to sleep in the main room. Anyway, we won't live in this courtyard for long. We will leave for Anxi soon."
"Are we going to the Western Regions? Ah, Alang, do we want to go too? I'm afraid our old arms and legs can't bear the travel. Alang said what should you do."
Two old maids gathered in front of Li Siye, talking non-stop.
Li Siye frowned, because he was too busy with things these days, and he forgot to tell the two old maids about the family's move to Anxi. They were hired in the first place, so it was easy to spend them.
"Just because I'm busy all day long, I forgot to tell you about this. I really want to take Mei'er to Anxi, so we can't stay here for the time being. You decide for yourself whether to follow us to Anxi or stay in Chang'an. If you want to follow us,
, I welcome you very much, but the road to Anxi is long and bumpy. If you don’t want to leave, I will also give you a sum of money. Just think about it in the next two days."
The two old maids suddenly became quiet and exchanged glances with each other. Their faces were full of joy and sorrow, and they couldn't make a decision for the moment.
"We can also consider it at night and tidy up the room for the Twelve Lady first."
Li Twelve Niang stood behind Li Siye with a package, and whispered with a shy and beautiful face: "I don't have to think about it. I will follow you wherever you are, let alone Anxi, even if it is a mountain of swords, a sea of fire, and the underworld, I will follow you."
I'll go with you."
After hearing these words, Li Siye's back felt numb for a while. You are just a little lady from more than a thousand years ago. How can you be so good at flirting? It makes me, a modern person, so excited.
The two old maids went to clean up the room, and Li Meier took the initiative to invite Twelve Niangs into the main room, where they sat opposite each other on the carpet.
She secretly looked at the woman who could become her sister-in-law. She had a fair face and a handsome face. She was wearing a man's robe, but she had a heroic beauty. She carried a long sword on her back. She might have come from a family of warriors. But she was a little too thin.
I don’t know if my brother will like it.
"Twelve Niangs, please have some tea." Li Meier took the initiative to bring the tea bowl to her. Li Twelve Niangs quickly reached out to take it, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. She felt that the tea had the right flavor and the cooking temperature was right.
Er Niang is a knowledgeable person, and she is very rare among the rich and powerful people who can cook tea to this taste.
She looked at Li Meier in surprise and asked, "Did you make this tea?"
Li Meier nodded proudly: "Well, so? Doesn't it taste good?"
Twelve Niang said solemnly: "It's time to enter the palace."
"Really?" The girl excitedly leaned on the table with her arms, and said proudly close to Twelve Niang: "To be honest, Twelve Niang, I only started to learn the art of making tea four years ago, and I have learned it for a long time.
In 2000, my master, Sister Wen Ran, said that my tea-making skills had surpassed hers. Now that Sister Wen Ran drinks my tea, she feels that her tea is difficult to drink."
Twelve Niang took a few sips slowly, nodded and said seriously: "Yes, making tea requires a lot of talent."
"Twelve Niangs, what is your craft?"
"Hey, my craftsmanship..." Li Twelve Women subconsciously looked back at the sword on her shoulder. Compared with making tea, sword dancing seemed to lack elegance.
Li Siye stood in the yard slightly embarrassed, occasionally looking into the main room to look at the situation. They seemed to be getting along very harmoniously, even more harmoniously than he imagined. It seemed that Li Twelve's mother wanted to marry into the Li family, and the only resistance was him.
Li Siye is gone.
Aunt Wu came to Li Siye with her hands crossed, lowered her body and said, "Alang, Twelve Niang's west wing has been tidied up."
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Aunt Wu, you can go down and rest."
"Here."
Aunt Wu didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave. She followed Li Siye's gaze and looked into the main room. She hunched over and laughed and commented: "This must not be the daughter of a wealthy family. Seeing that she is carrying weapons, I am afraid she is not a performer."
?This kind of woman is careless and wild-tempered. Besides, Alang, you are already a general now, so you must be well-matched, right? This lady comes to you without looking at her status. To put it bluntly, she is shameless."
"Alang's status means that he should marry a young lady from a wealthy family. This girl can at most be included in a concubine."
Li Siye's expression suddenly turned cold, he lowered his head and glanced at Aunt Wu and said, "Just do your duty, don't talk nonsense in front of me, and don't talk nonsense behind other people's backs."
Li Siye rarely showed such an expression in front of the old maids. When Aunt Wu saw the unkind look on her master's face, she quickly lowered her body, folded her hands and left.
