Chapter 980: Seemingly ruthless but affectionate
Xiao Nuan walked quickly to the gate of the courtyard, and saw Zuo Xiang watching the scenery with his hands behind his back, and behind him was Li Si, who was carrying a big food box. Li Si saw Xiao Nuan, and asked with a bright face, "County Lord, the painting of the little grass girl is ready, can the villain have a sneak peek?" ”
Xiao Nuan saluted Zuo Xiang before saying, "Xiaocao has just drawn the gate and is concentrating on inscribed poems. ”
Concentrate on inscribed poems, but I can't bother, Li Si is very sorry, he really wants to know if there is him Li Si in the painting of the little grass girl.
After knowing that the little grass girl was going to paint, Li Si deliberately changed into a new coat and hat, and walked in front of the little grass girl several times with his head upright, just thinking that he could compare with his master in the girl's pen. Will the little grass girl draw his master this time the same as last time?
"The small grass inscription poem is also a five-word or seven-word quatrain, why don't adults go to the study and wait for a while?" Xiao Nuan invited.
Zuo Xiang bowed his head and followed Xiao Nuan to the study, Li Si stayed outside the door with interest, but saw Green Butterfly and Xuan Wu swaggering in.
Seeing the two of them staying behind the county lord, Li Si felt that he should also go in to support his master, but as soon as he stepped into one leg, his master said without appreciation, "You are waiting outside." ”
“…… Be. ”
Li Si silently withdrew his leg, and his heart was stabbed, and he felt pain. Before he could lick his wounds, the big yellow dog of the county lord's family came out of the courtyard. Li Si looked at the big yellow dog and swaggered into the study!
In the study, Xiao Nuan's life green butterfly served tea, touched Rhubarb's head, and said gently, "Rhubarb goes to the door to guard, don't let people in." ”
Hearing that rhubarb was also kicked out, Li Sidi's wound immediately healed. But before he could be happy, Rhubarb actually stood in front of him after he came out and let out a "Wang" sound.
Li Si understood the meaning of Rhubarb's move, and silently moved to the side to make way for it. The guy lay comfortably in the doorway, his head on his front paws, and the two dogs stared at him without moving.
Li Si was very angry, the county lord let it come out to guard, not let it defend itself! But he couldn't reason with a dog, so Li Si silently took a few steps back.
Seeing that the dog closed his eyes, Li Si secretly took another step forward, and the dog opened his eyes to stare at him again! Li Si was silent, and retreated silently, the wound in his heart was dripping with blood. He stood here, and even though the door to the study was open, he couldn't hear what was being said inside!
The left phase in the house saw that Li Si was not interested, and decided to change someone to follow next time. Bring one out like this, and before the matter began to be discussed, it lost momentum first.
But how do you say that? Zuo Xiang looked at the three desks placed in the study, and was a little troubled. When he came, he thought it was very simple, but when he saw Xiao Nuan, he couldn't open his mouth, and he couldn't ask me directly if I wanted to marry your mother, do you agree or not.
Seeing that Zuo Xiang brushed a row of pens on the small grass table twice with his eyes, he didn't mean to speak, Xiao Nuan didn't urge, and brushed with him. From Zuo Xiang's rare cowardly attitude, Xiao Nuan already understood why he came.
After Zuo Xiang paid attention, he turned his head and asked straight to the point, "My mother likes your mother very much and wants to marry her for Xi Ran, what does the county lord think?" ”
He is saying that his mother likes his mother, so she wants to marry him, not that he likes it so he wants to marry. Xiao Nuan was dissatisfied in her heart, with an apology on her face, "It is our honor for my mother to be favored by the old lady." However, my mother thinks that the current life is very good, and I don't want to marry again, so please thank the old lady for our kindness. ”
Since it was said that Mrs. Li had taken a fancy to her, Xiao Nuan didn't need to blame Zuo Xiang for this matter, just mention the old lady.
Xiao Nuan's answer was completely expected by Zuo Xiang, but listening to her say it in person, Zuo Xiang was still a little uncomfortable in his heart. In his life, he has never had the experience of taking the initiative to send it to the door but being turned away.
However, Zuo Xiang's face was still with a light smile, "Okay." ”
Two smart people, when it comes to this, they both understand that there is no need to mention this matter. Zuo Xiang talked about Xiaocao's painting, "Because this painting is to be presented to the imperial court, I also ask Xiaocao's subordinates to be merciful." ”
Xiao Nuan's smile went straight to the bottom, "Don't worry, Xiaocao is very measured." ”
Zuo Xiang felt that the length of proportion in his eyes was not the same as the length of proportion in the eyes of Xiao Nuan's family, but he didn't care about it, and left after a few more chats.
Xiao Nuan saw that his steps were still the same, and he knew that his mother actually had no weight in his heart, and it didn't matter to him whether he married or not. It's not interesting to marry such a man.
After returning to the Daoli house, Xuan Wu took the initiative to talk to Xiao Nuan about Zuo Xiang's gossip.
"When Lord Li was young, he was also a famous figure in the capital, and he didn't know how many girls wanted to marry him. At that time, the Shengshang and the Qing King were competing for the throne, and after Zuo Xiang married the daughter of the Zhou family, the countless gold and silver of the Zhou family flowed into the capital, helping the Shengshang to smooth out a lot of pitfalls. After the saint ascended the throne, he did not treat the Zhou family badly, and the salt administration and tea in the eight states south of the Yangtze River were under the control of the Zhou family. There is also reliable news: after Mrs. Li's death, the Zhou family wanted to send their daughter to Beijing several times to fill the house for Mrs. Li, but Mrs. Li refused. ”
"Mrs. Li gave birth to two sons and three daughters for Zuo Xiang, and she died of illness when she gave birth to Li San's girl. When she was alive, the husband and wife treated each other with respect, or it was more appropriate that the water from the well did not interfere with the water of the river. After Mrs. Li's death, Lord Li never remarried, and his subordinates had heard Mr. Chai say that it was not because of how deeply Lord Li was affectionate to his wife, but because he did not find a reason to marry his wife, so he saved this trouble. ”
Xiao Nuan walked slowly into the house, not knowing how to evaluate such Li Xiran for a while. His marriage with the daughter of the Zhou family is considered to be what he needs, and he has all got what he wants, and the left side is already very good compared to his wife, strictly speaking.
Such a seemingly affectionate and ruthless man is actually quite terrifying. Xiao Nuan shook her head and walked quickly to the house.
After Zuo Xiang returned to Zhuangzi, Mrs. Li hurriedly asked, "How is it?"
"It's the same as what Er'er said, Qin Anren has no intention of remarrying, so my mother should stop thinking about it." Zuo Xiang persuaded, "If you make a stiff fight for this, it really outweighs the loss." ”
King Sheng is the biggest help for the second prince to seize the throne, and Zuo Xiang strives to maintain the distance between him and King Sheng. If he angered King Sheng in order to marry the Qin family, Zuo Xiang would disagree with 10,000. Whether there are more than one person in his room talking is not crucial compared to the rise and fall of the Li family or the national fortune of the Great Zhou.
Seeing her son's determined appearance, Mrs. Li sighed deeply, "My son is reasonable, this matter will wait for the holy spring ploughing, and then we will discuss it in the long run." ”
No one agrees to marry him, so what else is there to discuss? Zuo Xiang didn't mention it again, and talked about business, "My sister will go out of the palace with the saint, and she will take this opportunity to visit you in Zhuangzi." At that time, the mother should persuade her to do something, and don't let her act rashly. ”
