The southeast corner of the West City, the velvet alley, Dong Efu, the inner courtyard of the Buddhist hall.

Jue Luo looked at the Bodhisattva with a compassionate face and sighed in his heart. Yesterday, on Holy Birthday Day, she went into the palace to greet the Queen Mother Lafayette, wanting to take the opportunity to find a grace and ask the Queen Mother to guide her granddaughter to the marriage.

Affected by the dismissal of Kali, their Dong E's family is now cold. Even the relatives and friends who used to have some contacts are now avoided.

She had heard about Li Ding's marriage for a long time. Because outsiders gossiped at the beginning, they went to the old lady to talk and talk about Dong E's family taking the initiative to withdraw from their relatives, which was a pity for Jinghui.

Although the Li family is coated, it has been a eunuch since Li Ding's grandfather; Besides, Li Ding is dignified, both civil and military, and he is much stronger than those swinger brothers in Beijing.

Jue Luo's family heard that the Li family was so untrustworthy, and he was so angry that he raised his neck, but he couldn't say anything. If it is said that the Li family took the initiative to withdraw from the family, then the granddaughter's reputation is not to mention.

Now, the granddaughter's family affairs are heavy, and they have become Jue Luo's heart. While he still understands and can speak, he arranges his granddaughter's family affairs properly, and he will have the face to see his son and daughter-in-law underground in the future. If it drags on, the two uncles of Jinghui will feel that their niece is useful and have the idea of beating their niece.

Dong E Jinghui didn't think about that, and sat alone on the kang in the boudoir to do needlework. In the wooden cabinet on the kang tip, there are already drawers full of small things, all of which are purses, cigarette pockets, etc. There is also a drawer, which is about twenty pairs of shoes.

As the saying goes, spring sleepiness in autumn and lack of nap in summer, winter and March when you can't wake up.

After embroidering a peony petal, Dong E Jinghui was a little sleepy and a little sore, so she put down her work. She got up from the kang and walked around the ground, stumbling upon the jewelry box in front of the dresser.

Dong E Jinghui was stunned, now that it is October, she is about to open Enke. Because of his filial piety, he didn't catch up with this subject, and the next time will be two years later.

Two years later, he was eighteen ...... Thinking of this, Dong E Jinghui only felt that her face was flushed, and she was already stupid.

Her maid Chun'er happened to come in, and when she saw her young lady like this, she was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Why is the girl's face so red, is she catching a cold?" As she spoke, she couldn't help but shudder herself.

Dong Ejinghui woke up, and immediately felt ashamed, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, I'm fine!" ”

Chun'er walked to the window and looked at the charcoal basin, but I don't know when, the charcoal fire had been extinguished. She frowned and said to Dong Ejinghui: "Girl, why don't we talk to the old lady, so that the girl will not be sick again!" The eldest lady is really too old now, and she used those black charcoals to fool the girl, and it was bad for a long time, and it burned for a quarter of an hour before it was extinguished! It's just winter, the weather is not very cold, and in a few days, this house will become an ice cellar! ”

Dong Ejinghui thought that since the uncle was dismissed, there was some dislike between the uncle and the grandmother, and she didn't want to bother the grandmother because of her own affairs, so she shook her head and said: "It's not in the way, the family has not been rich in the past two years, and the aunt just wants to save some chewing, I just wear two more clothes!" ”

Thinking about the other side of the big house, even the maid with a face is also a high-grade silver charcoal, and Chun'er's heart is very aggrieved for the girl. She wanted to persuade again, but thinking about the old lady after all, she was old, the girl's parents died, and she lived with the eldest lady and the eldest lady. Therefore, she sighed, did not say more, and went to make a charcoal stove with a fire box.

Dong E Jinghui rubbed her cold and stiff hands, sat down on the side of the kang again, and went to do needlework.

*Inside the East City Gate, Li House.

Because he wanted to thank several relatives and friends who came over to help him, Li Ding specially bought a banquet to thank him.

Cao Hao was impatient with this socialization in his heart, but when he thought of his mother's side, he really couldn't retreat. After all, Li Ding is diligent, and he is not too estranged, so as not to be reprimanded for being a cold surname.

Jiang Zhuo is an elder, and after eating a few glasses of wine, he said goodbye first.

Cao Hao also wanted to return home early, but was left behind by Li Dingsheng.

Li Ding personally took the wine jug, poured a full wine for Cao Hao, and poured it for himself, and then raised the wine cup, and said gratefully: "Today, I want to thank Fu Ruo for giving my cousin a long face, this cousin is even grateful, come, cousin, I won't get some false courtesy with you, I will give you a glass!" It's all in this cup. ”

He is talking about Cao Hao, as a close relative, who followed the matchmaker to Fucha's house to help Li Ding give a dowry.

Cao Hao smiled bitterly in his heart, he didn't know why Li Ding behaved like this, obviously he had hardened himself. Cao Hao's face is not polite, it should not be so.

Li Ding held the wine cup and didn't let go, which means that if you don't drink, you won't give me face.

Cao Hao's alcohol consumption is not what it used to be, he was not afraid of drinking, but when he saw him like this, he drank with his neck up.

When Li Ding saw it, he was overjoyed, and personally poured it on Cao Hao.

Because he had eaten a few glasses of wine with Jiang Zhuo just now, Cao Hao wanted to excuse himself by saying that he had almost drunk it. At this time, I heard Sun Jue next to him snort coldly.

Li Ding was busy dealing with Cao Hao, and he snubbed his brother-in-law, and he was busy and filled it himself, saying: "Today, I am also tired of Brother Yushu, and my brother respects you!" ”

"Yushu" is Sun Jue's word, because Li Ding's brother Li Nai's marriage is Sun Jue's sister, and the two families are in-laws and have always been intimate.

Sun Jue was very annoyed now, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, he had a little less scruples, so he said coldly: "What bother me?" I'm just a six-grade petty official, and I'm not a Heshuo forehead, so I can't give you face! It seems that I will have to come twice less in the future, so as not to wipe your face. I'd like to see how beautiful you can be. ”

This was said sourly, Li Ding was too lazy to deal with him because he was drunk, so he said: "Brother Yushu, don't be annoyed, the younger brother here punishes himself with three cups to make amends!" As he spoke, he drank three glasses in a row, and called the maid warm wine.

Cao Hao saw that Li Ding was drinking boldly, thinking that he was really happy about today's appointment, and his dissatisfaction with him was also reduced a little. If the relationship between the two families continues to be so good, it is impossible for the Cao family not to be implicated by the Li family. If you really can't break it, you should also think of a way to persuade Li Ding not to get involved in those things that shouldn't be involved.

He remembered that in the summer, he saw the steward of the Eighth Elder Brother's Mansion transporting flower stones and repairing the garden in Rehe, so he thought about whether to find an opportunity and asked Li Ding if the Li family had helped buy women.

Sun Jue saw Li Ding's reparation, his heart was happier, he snorted, and also toasted.

Li Ding put down the wine cup, looked up and saw Cao Hao looking at him with a dull expression and stunned eyes, and couldn't help but feel proud in his heart. Although he endured it, there was still some joy between his eyebrows, and he endured it, and asked with concern: "Fu Ruo, have you drunk too much?" ”

Cao Haogang wanted to shake his head and say that he was not drunk, but when he saw Li Ding's expression so weird, he couldn't help but feel a little vigilant. He rubbed his forehead with his hand and replied vaguely: "Xu is a little drunk, this head is a little heavy." ”

Li Ding saw that Cao Hao answered clearly, he didn't look very drunk, frowned slightly, and then said with a smile: "No matter what, today is my next son, I am really happy in my heart, Fu Ruo and Brother Yushu have to drink a few cups with me!" I've sent the boys back, and we're going to get drunk tonight! ”

Sun Jue was still talking about something greasy and crooked, it was not good to be overly addicted to alcohol, and he was drunk and hurt his body. Cao Hao's heart was a little more guarded, even if he had some contacts, but he didn't know when he was so close to Li Ding.

This is too much.

While he was talking, a few maids had already warmed up the wine and brought it over. There was one more person among them, who was dressed very gorgeously, and his posture was the most pretty, and he was smiling for everyone. Looking at her appearance, she doesn't look like a maid, but like Miss Jiao.

When he stayed by Sun Jue's side, Sun Jue smelled the faint fragrance coming from this woman's body, and in a daze, he admired the Li family's father and son more and more. Since she can come out to entertain guests, where will she be a young lady, she is naturally a maidservant. Even the maidservants who entertain guests are like this, and those who are raised in the house don't know what kind of style it should be.

The woman poured Sun Jue full of wine, lifted it herself, sent it to Sun Jue's mouth, and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, Xiangtong helped my second master toast you!" ”

Looking at the white little hand holding the wine cup, where could Sun Jue refuse? He couldn't help but reach out, hold the girl's little hand, and rub it vigorously twice, only to feel weak and boneless, slippery and abnormal, and his heart was immediately crispy.

The woman giggled and said, "Master, what are you doing holding Xiangtong's hand, but drinking!" ”

Sun Jue was relieved and knew that it was rude, so he immediately took the wine cup from the maid's hand and drank it with a red face.

This fragrant woman behaves presumptuously, different from other maids, and occasionally looks at Cao Hao with a very seductive gaze. Cao Hao has been a human being in two lifetimes, and he has seen a lot of women, so he can't see that this maid has other plans. It's just that she can act like this, I think it was from Li Ding's instructions.

It's just, what do you want to get Sun Jue drunk like this, beauty?

Cao Hao was still thinking about it in his heart, Li Ding saw him looking at Xiangtong, and said with a little smile: "This girl is used to being unattractive by her father, don't worry about Fu Ruo and Brother Yushu, don't worry about her!" My father has always treated her as her daughter, and she is usually like this, not the same! ”

Seeing that Sun Jue drank wine, Xiangtong was already like a butterfly, and turned to Cao Hao's side, but he wanted to repeat his old tricks.

She is beautiful, but she uses more fragrant powder all over her body. Cao Hao didn't sneeze out, and hurriedly leaned back, wanting to stay away from her.

Cao Hao looked at the two blue and red finger prints on the snow-white little hand, which were rubbed out by Sun Jue, and his stomach couldn't help but roll for a while. Thinking of Li Xu's romantic reputation again, I am afraid that what he trained is not a daughter, but a daughter's mother for a long time.

Xiangtong saw that Cao Hao didn't drink, and said coquettishly: "Cao Ye is so cold, can you bear to punish your servant?" ”

Cao Hao couldn't grasp Li Ding's intentions, and he didn't know what his intentions were for this drama.

Li Ding saw that Cao Hao didn't move, so he scolded Xiangtong and said: "Don't mess around, don't disturb our grandfather's wine!" As he spoke, he personally poured a full cup for Cao Hao.

When Cao Hao looked down, he was secretly amused in his heart, the size of the fist of the wine cup that the maid had just sent just now was more than one or two times larger than Fang Cai. It seems that Li Ding has made up his mind to get them drunk.

Cao Hao originally wanted to find a reason to get up and say goodbye, but he also faintly had some inquisitive thoughts in his heart, wanting to know what Li Ding wanted. After thinking about it for a moment, he decided to make a fuss. If Li Ding really had bad intentions, he would have a guard in his heart, and he would not be ambiguous.

Sun Jue was looking at Xiangtong, and when she saw her go to Cao Hao's side, she was a little unhappy. Seeing that Li Ding didn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, he was very distressed.

Xiangtong was also obedient, seeing that Cao Hao was still awake and didn't dare to be overly entangled, she had three points of grievance on her face, and a pool of tears in her eyes, which made her look more and more lovely.

Because she saw Sun Jue looking at her, she lowered her head and retreated to Sun Jue's side.

Sun Jue was afraid that she would be uncomfortable, so he comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be sad, I'll eat your toast!" ”

Xiangtong secretly laughed at his stupidity in his heart, but he even said gratefully on his face: "It's still Grandpa who loves slaves!" ”

Sun Jue took Xiangtong's hand, smelling the fragrance on her body, and felt so distressed that she felt that she had wronged the beauty, which was really a big sin.

After listening to Xiangtong's words, he became more and more arrogant, and craned his neck and said to Li Ding: "Xincheng, this is yours............ Since he is treated as a woman...... New achievements should be treated as sisters...... It's too late to pity and pity, how can you let her do this maidservant's thing...... Look at people's faces, and reprimand...... It's ...... I really shouldn't ......"

Because he was stumbling and his hand was still pulling Xiangtong, his righteous words made people feel extremely funny.

Seeing him so ugly, Li Ding despised him from the bottom of his heart, and said "hehe" twice, but did not respond. Cao Hao saw the gloomy color flashing on Li Ding's face, and wondered in his heart whether he should be "drunk......
