The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Wang Gang was working in Kaifeng Prefecture when a servant of the Wang family suddenly came running over to inform him that Wang Kangshi asked him to go to Li's Tea House for lunch at noon.

To be honest, Wang Gang originally thought that Wang Kang wanted to make things difficult for the Li family, so she specifically called him over to cut off the idea of ​​marriage.

After Wang Gang hurried over, he found that he had guessed wrong. Wang Kang and Madam Li were holding hands, looking like good friends who regretted not meeting each other earlier. Wang Gang was still stunned for a moment.

"Gang'er, come here quickly to meet your aunt Li." When Wang Kang saw her son coming, she waved with a smile.

"Aunt Li?" Wang Gang walked forward confused.

Madam Li smiled and said, "Sir Wang, I didn't expect that your mother and I are still best friends after not seeing each other for many years. We are really destined to be together."

Wang Gang blinked and couldn't help but look at Wang Kangshi.

Wang Kang explained: "Your Aunt Li and I have been neighbors since childhood, and we haven't seen each other for more than 20 years."

Wang Gang thought what a coincidence.

"Why haven't I heard my mother mention it?" Wang Gang sat down next to Wang Kangshi. Wu Niang Li Leshan shyly brought him a cup of tea and then returned to the room.

"Alas, I lost contact with Sister Li when I married off. I never thought I would see her again in this life." Wang Kang said with emotion: "I never thought we would have the chance to become in-laws now."

The way Mrs. Li looks at Wang Gang now is like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. The more she looks, the more satisfied she is, and she is laughing so hard that her saliva is almost flowing.

However, Wang Gang felt like he had done something far more counterproductive. He had originally planned to use the Li family as an excuse to postpone the wedding, but he didn't expect that Wang Kang and Lady Li were close friends and seemed not to object to the marriage. Naturally, Wang Gang had messed up.

However, Wang Gang had seen all kinds of big scenes, so he was naturally not panicked. It was just getting married, so it didn't matter who he married.

"Gang'er, I forgot to ask you yesterday, which of Sister Li's daughters did you like?" Wang Kang asked:
"If there is a good day, our two families will get married as soon as possible."

Wang Gang lowered his head and thought for a while, which made Madam Li and the others worried.

A few seconds later, Wang Gang just said: "Mother, I have chosen the eldest lady of the Li family."

"what."

Madam Li opened her mouth in surprise, and Wang Kang also frowned.

The Li sisters who were hiding in the back room were eavesdropping the whole time. Fourth sister Li Haode even put her face against the door to eavesdrop.

"Sister, sister, it turns out Lord Wang has chosen you." Li Haode shouted excitedly.

Sanniang Li Kangning covered Simei's mouth and said, "Keep your voice down."

Si Niang Li Haode calmed down and whispered: "I guessed that Lord Wang likes my eldest sister. He looks at my eldest sister in a different way."

Aunt Li Shouhua was a little confused at this time. She thought about her third sister and even her fifth sister, but she never thought about herself.

"Fourth sister, you didn't hear it wrong!" There was no joy on Li Shouhua's face, only deep confusion?

At this time, Wu Niang Li Leshan was stunned and completely confused!
Li Haode didn't care about the fifth sister's expression and said happily: "I heard it right. Lord Wang clearly said that he liked my eldest sister."

Sanniang Li Kangning said worriedly: "This is going to be troublesome."

Li Haode was puzzled and asked: "Third sister, what are you worried about?"

Li Kangning glanced at his elder sister secretly, but Li Shouhua said calmly: "I am a widow. With the Wang family's status, our Li family is considered to be marrying up. How can Madam Wang allow a widow to enter the house?"

Li Haode was puzzled and said, "But Madam Wang and mother are so close, she shouldn't object, right?"

Li Kangning sighed, "You don't understand. This concerns the reputation of the Wang family. Although Old Madam Wang is concerned about my mother's friendship, it is difficult to explain to Lord Wang's father."

Li Haode also said in a roundabout way: "But Lord Wang said in person that he likes my eldest sister!" Li Shouhua shook her head and said: "Fourth sister, Lord Wang said that he liked me, but he didn't say that he liked me!"

Li Haode was stunned, and after careful recollection, he realized that this was indeed the case.

"What's the difference?"

Li Shouhua shook his head without explaining, but just started to think about it in his mind.

The atmosphere in Li's Teahouse was unusually quiet. Wang Gang drank his tea silently. Madam Li looked anxious but did not dare to speak. Wang Kang's face was very gloomy.

After a long time, Madam Li finally said boldly: "Sister Kang, although Shouhua of my family has been married, her ex-husband was in very poor health and could not consummate the marriage. Shouhua is still a virgin."

Wang Kang saw how nervous Madam Li was and couldn't help but sigh, "Sister, it's not that I don't want to agree to this marriage, but my son Gang'er is an official and has never been married. If he marries a widow, the Wang family will lose face! It will be hard for me to explain to the master!"

Madam Li also knew Wang Kang's difficulties, and lowered her head and said, "Could it be that the two children are really not destined to be together?"

Wang Kang took Madam Li's hand and said, "How about this? I will write a letter to the master and ask for his opinion. We will discuss this marriage in detail."

Madam Li asked carefully: "Will it embarrass my sister? Otherwise, forget it."

Wang Kang turned to Wang Gang and said, "Gang'er, do you really want to marry Aunt Li?"

Wang Gang smiled and said, "I hope my mother will agree to this."

Wang Kang sighed inwardly, thinking that her son had given her a very difficult problem!
At the next lunch, Wang Kang and Mrs. Li had no appetite, but Wang Gang had a good appetite and ate two large bowls of rice.

Because he still had to go to work, after dinner, Wang Gang said goodbye to Madam Li. But just as he reached the door, Qiong Nu came over and whispered to Wang Gang: "Master Wang, my eldest sister wants to see you."

Wang Gang raised the corner of his mouth, knowing that Li Shouhua should have guessed his purpose, and couldn't help but smiled and said: "Please lead the way."

Qiong Nu secretly glanced at Wang Gang, her face blushed, and she silently led the way in front, taking Wang Gang to an elegant room where Li Shouhua had been waiting for a long time, but there was a screen between the two of them.

When leaving, Qiong Nu closed the door and stood outside the house to prevent being seen by outsiders.

"Sir Wang, since you don't want to get married, why use me as an excuse?" Li Shouhua said to Wang Gang across the screen.

"How does Madam Li know that I don't want to marry you?" Wang Gang asked back.

"If you really want to marry me, you would naturally not let Madam Wang come to Li's Tea Shop alone." Li Shouhua said with a hint of resentment in his tone.

Wang Gang thought that Li Shouhua was really smart and figured everything out so quickly, and he couldn't help but look up to her.

"My mother is urging me to get married, so I have to resort to this desperate measure. I hope Madam Li, please don't mind." Wang Gang clasped his hands together and bowed slightly.

Li Shouhua said coldly: "Lord Wang, you don't want to disobey your mother, but don't you know that my mother will probably be worried to death next!"

Wang Gang was stunned and finally understood why Li Shouhua was angry.

"I was wrong about this." Wang Gang took the initiative to say, "I didn't expect that my mother had a past with Madam Li. When I get home from my shift, I will explain everything to my mother. As for Madam Li, please comfort her. I will prepare a generous gift to apologize later."

"Ah." Li Shouhua was surprised this time. Wang Gang apologized too quickly and disrupted her rhythm.

"Since Lord Wang feels sorry, could you please answer a question for me?" Li Shouhua said after hesitating for a moment.

"Do you want to know why I help the Li family again and again?" Wang Gang said with a smile.

"Please enlighten me, Lord Wang." (End of this chapter)
