Chapter 191 Don't Think Too Much

Li Xiaonan looked at Mrs. Fourth Wei, who met Li Xiaonan's eyes and said awkwardly: "I didn't..."

Before finishing a sentence, Mrs. Wei Fourth swallowed back the rest of her words.

Mrs. Shi's keenness and ingenuity are clear and clear. If she doesn't want her to know, she should be careful. It's too perfunctory to explain by saying that she didn't tell her.

"You don't know about your blind date? Are you afraid that she will be too emotional? Or is it some other reason?" Li Xiaonan asked with a smile.

"It's not me, it's you. My cousin told me that if the eldest lady wants to see you, she must first ask you if you are willing. Besides, it is not good for you to meet the eldest lady for the first time." Fourth lady Wei hurriedly explained.

She has been trying her best to avoid letting the eldest lady and Miss Li meet, not entirely because of her cousin's confession, but because of her intuition, she feels that it is not suitable for these two people to meet.

"Your cousin is afraid that the eldest lady will look down on me. The eldest lady did not look down on me. I think the eldest lady is very good." Li Xiaonan laughed.

It was not good seeing the eldest lady for the first time, it was because Wan Qing was afraid of deducting the monthly payment.

Li Xiaonan looked at Mrs. Shi who was not far from the Nuan Pavilion, followed Mrs. Wei to stand up, and asked again: "Does Mrs. Shi know about your blind date?"

"I know, I didn't say it in front of her." Mrs. Wei Si explained vaguely.

Li Xiaonan snorted, that is, Mrs. Shi knew about Mrs. Wei Si and Mr. Yang Wuye discussing marriage, but everyone didn't talk about it in front of her, yes, it's very irritating to say such a thing in front of her. heart.

Seeing Mrs. Wei Si and Li Xiaonan who came out to welcome Mrs. Shi, Mrs. Shi stopped, looking a little surprised, and explained with a smile, "I'm here to find some books."

"Miss Li is also here to read." Mrs. Wei Si hurriedly responded with a smile.

Mrs. Shi gave a soft oh, and pointed to the library, "I'm going to find a book, you guys talk."

"We agreed, Miss Li and I didn't say anything, we just met." Si Niangzi was a little panicked.

"I read, and she also reads, so we happened to go there together." Li Xiaonan took a step forward, and smiled with Mrs. Wei Si.

Fourth Lady Wei was stunned.

"Si Niangzi, do you want to find some books to read?" Li Xiaonan pointed to the library and laughed with Si Niangzi.

"Ah, no need...then I'll go back first. What's the matter, Miss Li? If there's nothing else, let's drink tea another day." Mrs. Wei Si was a little messy.

Mrs. Shi stood by, silently watching the two of them.

"Okay!" Li Xiaonan replied with a smile, waved at Mrs. Wei, turned around, and smiled with Mrs. Shi: "What book is Mrs. Shi looking for?"

"Look for a few books about Jiangnan weaving workshop." Mrs. Shi replied casually.

Li Xiaonan let out a soft oh.

"What book has Miss Li been reading recently?" Mrs. Shi looked at the library not far away.

"It's also about the Jiangnan weaving workshop. I'm in the fine cloth business, so I can't help but know about it." Li Xiaonan laughed.

Mrs. Shi paused slightly, looked at Li Xiaonan, Li Xiaonan met her gaze, and hurriedly said with a smile: "I don't run a weaving workshop, I just collect fine cloth from various households and sell it out, it's a small business."

"Did Miss Li hear about the banquet yesterday?" Mrs. Shi asked suddenly after walking a few steps.

"You mean that a lot of people were arrested?"

"Ah."

"I heard that the people who took it were all from the Linhai Town Silk Company and the Customs Department. At least now, it has nothing to do with my business." Li Xiaonan laughed.

Mrs. Shi stopped talking, and Li Xiaonan didn't speak anymore. The two of them walked about ten steps side by side. Mrs. Shi turned her head and looked back. At the door of the Nuan Pavilion.

"After the second aunt has been busy helping Mrs. Fu for a while, we will set off to go back to the capital." Mrs. Shi said suddenly.

Li Xiaonan subconsciously let out an oh, it's not easy to answer.

"I should have given up a long time ago, thank you." Mrs. Shi sighed lowly.

"Thank me for what?" Li Xiaonan didn't react for a moment.

"Don't do to others what you don't want yourself to do to yourself." Mrs. Shi replied speciously.

Li Xiaonan groaned, but it was not easy to answer this sentence.

When the two of them crossed the bridge, Li Xiaonan hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Now, um, you can pick someone, right?"

"Since the time of retiring, the family has been picking. Concubine Wei picked out the eldest concubine for the eldest son, and she also took care of the right one for me. She has been picking for a long time." Mrs. Shi lowered her eyelids.

"no suitable ones?"

"Ah."

Li Xiaonan was stunned for a moment, then sighed, this is the problem of starting too high.

"I've thought about what you said." Mrs. Shi lowered her eyes, "What is a good wife, what is a good mother, and even, am I a good sister?"

"Don't think too much about it, it's right to say that for a lot of reasons, and it's also right to say that." Li Xiaonan looked at Mrs. Shi with a gloomy expression.

"After Shizi came to withdraw from the marriage, Father asked me to think about it, saying that Shizi would not quit for no reason, and Auntie also said that I was too temperamental, and my second aunt also asked me to think about it, and told me not to be stubborn .

"At that time, I was very angry. It was obviously for no reason. Why did you blame me? I am not wrong. I have nothing to think about."

Mrs. Shi lowered her eyelids, she was silent for a moment, she looked at Li Xiaonan, and said with a wry smile: "Miss Li woke me up a little bit. It is true that the eldest son retired for no reason, but am I right? It happened long before the divorce, but Before retiring, even my father and mother praised me, and no one ever said anything bad about me. Why didn't you mention me earlier?"

"A lot of things are based on results to determine right and wrong." Li Xiaonan considered her words carefully, "For example, when my elder brother was studying in the Gao Family Academy, he was absorbed in studying every day and ignored everything except reading. At that time, Gao My husband often said to my elder brother: You have to concentrate on studying hard, but you can’t work hard too hard. World affairs and human relationships are also learning.

"Later, my elder brother was admitted as a scholar, and Mr. Gao said that the reason why my elder brother was admitted as a scholar was because he was single-minded and had no other distractions.

"But what if my brother can't pass the exam year after year? I think Mr. Gao will definitely say: hard work is not enough, and worldly and human relationships cannot be ignored. Otherwise, how can we write good policy theory."

Mrs. Shi frowned slightly.

"You must have been thinking about it now, but if the crown prince doesn't retire, will you reflect on it now that you are the crown prince's concubine? Surely not, right? You will definitely feel that you are right.

"It is impossible for you to change in any way before the divorce. If the eldest son does not withdraw, you will feel that you are very good and right. After the eldest son withdraws, you will start to feel that the old you is not right.

"The only difference is whether the eldest son retired or married you.

"I don't think you need to reflect on yourself over and over again. The person who withdraws from the marriage is the eldest son. It is he who regrets the appointment and regrets the marriage and is not moral. If you want to reflect, it should be him who reflects. It's just that he has a powerful position and a strong temper. No one dares to say He's all."

"I do." After a moment of silence, Mrs. Shi said in a low voice.

"No one is perfect."

"Thank you. I'm going up to find a book." Mrs. Shi went up the stairs with her head down.

Li Xiaonan watched her go upstairs, sat back on the chair under the window, picked up the half-read book.

Not long after, Mrs. Shi came down from upstairs, took two steps towards the door, paused, looked at Li Xiaonan and said: "If there is no suitable one, I won't pick one, I don't intend to settle for it."

Before Li Xiaonan could answer, Mrs. Shi turned around and walked away quickly.

　There are many things that cannot be escaped, and I have been sorting them out for two days.
