wedding dress

Chapter 165

He had a good plan, but...

"Are you sure if you send them off, they will leave?" Xiaodong tugged at a strand of hair on his sideburns: "These three children are restless at first glance, don't put people on the boat on this side, and they will slip off on the other side - can you send them away tied up?"

Qin Lie smiled wryly: "Brother Li can't control them, and they are not afraid of me at all. This time they even burned down the house. Although they refused to go into details, I guess it must not be as simple as burning down one or two rooms. The Li family The village in the village is made of stone walls and wooden buildings, especially for fire prevention and there are stone trenches for water storage. It is difficult to burn in the dry season. Why is it burning in the rainy weather? They must not know what to do What caused a catastrophe to run out."

Xiaodong said with a half-smile: "If you don't mention them, they can still be said to be ignorant. What about Miss Shi? How do you plan to arrange it?"

That's the real deal.How the Li family's children are, that's the Li family's business, she doesn't care much.

This Miss Shi is the one who is trying to rob her with all her teeth and claws. This is the top priority.

If Qin Lie dared to have the slightest hint of "Ling Qing is so poor that he is willing to be a concubine", Xiaodong would be rude to him. Well, her natal family's strength is her strong waist. Zhao Lu must lead a group of idle clan children together, definitely Yes, let Qin Lie see why the flowers are so popular.

"She's easy to handle. There is her cousin in Jubao, and I asked him to take her back. It's their business."

"Her cousin?"

"Well, Brother Guan came to me when I started running caravans. He is mature and steady," Qin Lie said in a low voice, "Actually, Master Shi intended to betroth Shi Xiuxu to Brother Guan, and Brother Guan is also twenty years old. He hasn't started a family for quite a while, but he is reliable, knowledgeable, and has earned a good fortune, so he can be said to be one of the best son-in-law candidates in a hundred—"

Xiaodong interrupted unceremoniously: "It's a pity that I'm still worse than you. Miss Shi doesn't like her cousin, but likes you, Big Brother Qin."

She bit down the three words "Brother Qin" hard, and the sourness in it made Qin Lie grin.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, I have nothing to do with her."

Qin Lie stayed with him for a long time, and then graciously served Xiaodong with a basin of water, rushing to do all the work of Hongfu and the others.Xiaodong can't always keep a sullen face at him.

Hong Fu listened outside the door to finally having laughter inside, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and tiptoed back out, and only breathed a long sigh of relief when she reached the corridor.

The little maid Miao Er hurriedly came forward and said, "Sister, you have worked hard, let's take a break and have a cup of tea."

Hongfu sat down, and she was not polite, took a big sip of tea: "Huh?"

Miao'er hurriedly said: "I put some prunes in it, the waiter said it can relieve summer heat."

Hong Fu smiled and said, "You really have a heart."

Miaoer is diligent and sweet, and Hu Shi also nodded in approval. Hongfu is almost half of her master. Following Xiaodong from Prince An's Mansion, Hongfu slowly taught her some things - she herself was one year old and two years younger. , It seems that I can't serve Xiaodong for a long time, if I don't teach the next one, how can I let it go?
"By the way, what about the guest house?"

Miao'er whispered: "I just went to see it, and it was noisy. The two young masters were arranged in the same room, and the girl from the Li family was arranged in the same room as the girl from Shi Shi. They didn't have any luggage, and Madam Hu ordered to find I bought clothes for them to replace—I couldn’t find anything that fit right away, so I had to make up and wear them.”

"Well, is Hu's mother asleep?"

"I must not be sleeping right now. I came from behind just now, and Mother Hu was still talking to Guanshi Liu's wife." Miao'er asked in a low voice, "Sister, Miss Shi who came here today..."

Hongfu shook her head and said, "Don't ask me, and don't go out and talk to people. It's our family's face to spread this matter." Miao'er hurriedly said: "Yes, I will also tell Ke Ermin when I go back. Children, they will never spread nonsense."

Red Fu nodded.

In fact, everyone must be thinking about this in their hearts.My aunt's hometown unexpectedly had a beautiful girl come up to her, and she looked like that in front of people, who wouldn't murmur?
Ordinarily, his princess can be regarded as married off, what does the prince want from him?Don't you just want him to be reliable and down-to-earth, can he treat the princess well?But I didn't expect the prince to look away. It has not been three months since the marriage, and Yingying Yanyan has already come to the door.

If the prince and the prince know——

Hongfu can be sure that the prince must already know by now.Most of the people in this mansion were arranged by Prince An's mansion. Some of them dialed before they got married, and some came with their roommates when they got married. So who do you want to ask?It is such a big matter today, if the prince has not responded to the letter at this moment, no one will believe it.

Well, fortunately, the son went to Chengling, otherwise he might have called at the door by now.The son of the world usually has a good temper, and he never beats and scolds his servants casually. Xiaotang and the others who were serving him before are not doing well now?Marriage and home ownership are not stingy.But if someone bullied the princess, Shi Ziye would turn his back on him faster than anyone else, and be more ruthless than anyone else.

Hongfu packs up and goes to sleep, Hongjing brings the little girl Huier tonight.Xiaodong and the others don't need someone to wait on them inside the house, they spend the night in the outside cubicle, and they don't actually have much to do, Qin Lie does things like serving tea and water by himself, and the princess doesn't have the habit of waking up at night to call people.

Hong Fu turned over and couldn't fall asleep for a while, Miao Er was on the other side of the bed and asked softly, "Sister still not asleep?"

"Um……"

"I can't sleep either." Miao Er asked softly, "Where is my sister's hometown?"

"It's not too far from the capital, go to the southeast, it's called Yangji. How about you?"

"I don't remember. I sold it when I was a child. I don't know what my family name is, let alone where I live."

Hongfu comforted her a few words, but Miaoer didn't care: "Sometimes when I think back, I remember that there is a big river in front of my house, and most of them are people on the side of the canal. I was sold twice, but fortunately I am now with the princess. , and Mother Hu and sisters are very kind to me. I heard that the little sisters who used to be with me were sold to bad people, and they washed clothes and did rough work in winter, and their hands were frozen to death.”

Hongfu sighed in her heart, Miaoer was still young, she was satisfied with having enough food, clothing and a good place to go.When she is a few years older, her thinking will not be as simple as it is now.

She wonders where her home is, and even more worried about her future.

The fate of a woman's life is not in her own hands.Even a princess, a princess, cannot be her own master.Not to mention their servants.Meeting a good master is the good luck of the previous life, and meeting a bad master can only resign to fate and suffer.Marriage in the future...it's even harder to say.

Hong Fu tossed and turned, and was about to fall asleep around three o'clock, vaguely hearing voices outside, she turned over and sat up, beside Miaoer was still sleeping soundly, children always snooze a bit, not alert enough.

Hong Fu quickly put on her clothes, twisted and tied her hair, and pushed the door out.It was already dawn, and there were indeed people talking outside the courtyard gate.The woman guarding the courtyard came over in a hurry, and Hong Fu asked, "What's the matter? What's the commotion in the early morning?"

The woman had a bitter face: "Miss Hongfu, the guest who came yesterday knocked on the door so early in the morning, and kept saying that he wanted to find my uncle."

"Is it big or small?"

"Small one. Sigh, I've never seen anything like this. Two young masters and one girl, they say they want to go out for a stroll and eat the famous crispy fruit in the capital... and don't even look at the time."

Hongfu looked back at the main room, not sure if Xiaodong and Qin Lie heard it.

"I'll go in and have a look, you go and stop them first, don't let them make noise."

Xiaodong was sleeping deeply, but Qin Lie was always sleeping alertly. He had already heard the movement outside, and put on his clothes lightly and got up.Hongjing outside had also woken up, hearing Hongfu calling her softly, she hurriedly got up and opened the door.

Hongfu looked up and saw that Qin Lie had come out of the back room, she hurriedly greeted her: "My lord, the girl from the Li family and the two young masters have already woken up, clamoring outside the door to see you."

Qin Lie rubbed his face vigorously, and whispered: "Understood. Don't wake her up, let her sleep for a while."

He strode out by himself, the mother-in-law saw him coming out, and rushed to meet him, Qin Lie waved his hand without waiting for her to speak, and the mother-in-law hurriedly stepped aside.

Seeing Qin Lie coming out, the three brothers and sisters of the Li family rushed over with cheers. Qin Lie hurriedly gestured for silence: "Don't make noise!"

Tu Sheng understood first, and said with a smile: "Uncle Lie's new wife hasn't woken up yet, right? Hey, Uncle Lie, why do you and my uncle both want to marry a wife? There are multiple people in charge, it's troublesome A lot."

Qin Lie knocked on his forehead: "What do you know? What are you doing here so early? You were so tired yesterday and didn't sleep for a while?"

"Uncle Lie, take us to eat the crispy fruit in the capital! Didn't you say before that the crispy fruit sold in West Market in the morning is very delicious?"

Qin Lie got angry: "I was just thinking about eating. You can also fry it in the house, and the taste is not worse than outside. You go back and wash your face and change your clothes, and I will ask the kitchen to cook more delicious food for you."

In the room, Xiaodong turned over and slowly opened his eyes.

Hongjing heard the movement, came in and hung up the curtains, and helped Xiaodong get up.

"Who's talking outside?"

Hongjing said: "The young master and girl of the Li family are here."

Xiaodong sighed.

This day is going well... She knew that it was a dream to want to be peaceful and quiet.

Hongjing combed Xiaodong's hair and asked, "What hairstyle are you doing today?"

"Well, don't go out, whatever you want."

Hongjing reminded: "But there are guests at home."

Xiaodong was shocked.

Yes, you can't be sloppy, even if that Shi Xiu is not a threat, Xiaodong still has a sense of nervousness to prepare for the battle with all his strength.

"Cut a eight-treasure jade snail bun." Hongjing suggested: "What do you think of the ruby ​​knot on the hairpin?"

"Row."

Hongjing's craftsmanship is definitely not blown, the combing is fast and good, and it won't make people feel uncomfortable when stretching the scalp.

Xiaodong's hair is not very thick. If she wears other buns without a wig, she will look thin. The Biluo bun is exquisite and exquisite. She combs it just right, and her hair doesn't look short at all. The eight-strand braids are gathered in the middle, making her hair look smoother Soft and bright.Hongjing fastened the last jewel knot for her, and showed her a mirror.

Qin Lie just came in from the outside, Xiaodong turned his head while wearing the pendant, the knots of hair around his cheeks set off a face that was as white as jade, his fingertips were like green onions, and his earlobes were as delicate as shells.He was stunned for a moment, his heart felt a little hot, he came over with a smile, and took over to put the earrings on for her.
