Ask Sword

"Li Ang, boy,"

Li Hui picked up a piece of crystal dragon and phoenix cake made of rice flour from the fruit plate, threw it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "It's pretty good."

This is the residence of King Yue in Furong Garden. It is said that it is a mansion, but it is not much different from a manor. The layout is regular, there are many pavilions, the lake is vast, and the trees are elegant.

And in order to welcome the prince's big wedding in a few months, the whole mansion has been under construction and renovation, and the sound of axes, saws, cones and chisels is continuous, so the side of the hall can be a little quieter.

Sitting across the table, Li Leling, who was flipping through Li Hui's wedding gift list, paused slightly, "Mmm."

"Superior ability, outstanding talent, affection and righteousness, and most importantly, good character."

Li Hui glanced at the expression on his sister's face, and said with a smile: "A subordinate of my family recently went to Weizhou to work as an errand, and he wrote back to me saying that the people of Weizhou praised Mr. Li Xiaolang repeatedly.

To see a doctor for the poor, only charge a few pennies,

When encountering particularly difficult patients, sometimes they will pay for soup and medicine themselves, and give some meat, eggs and rice.

Now in their old house, there are still people who go to clean the dust and fallen leaves in front of the door every day. "

"Um"

Li Leling still carefully studied the list of gifts in return - this is the prince's wedding, guests with different status, distance, closeness, and status need to return different gifts.

"I heard that when he first came to Chang'an, he was so poor that he didn't even want to buy a horse.

Later, he was admitted to the academy with the top score, and many courtiers wanted to come and get married, "

Li Hui continued: "Including several important ministers above the fourth rank, as well as our Li family's clan.

If it was another boy from the countryside, he would have been so happy to find Bei if he heard that he could get married with the servant and the Duke's family.

In the end, he rejected all of them on the grounds that he was still young.

Not to be surprised, to be indifferent to the rich and powerful, this is it. "

"."

From the thick list, Li Leling looked up at Li Hui, and continued to flip through the paper in silence.

"But now, counting your age, it's almost time to talk about lifelong events."

Seeing that her sister was unmoved, Li Hui continued to say leisurely: "The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker.

Both of his parents died, and there was only one elder in the family, who was still a distant relative. As for his teacher, you should also know that the identity of that person is relatively subtle, and he cannot come out to help him arrange a marriage.

Such a good young man, some time ago, he helped Yu Guo put down the water poisoning in Suzhou and made great contributions to helping the world. Don't just keep your ears to the outside world, devote yourself to Neo Confucianism, and die unmarried like Dr. Gongsun Lin. "

"elder brother!"

Li Leling closed the list helplessly, "What do you want to say?"

"I didn't want to say anything."

Li Hui looked innocent, and rubbed the cake residue on his hands, "I was at a banquet a few days ago, and I heard from my friends that many princes and ministers had daughters and nieces waiting to be married at home.

The best marriage partner is naturally a young talent from the academy.

Their family is going to buy a house in Jinchengfang for their daughter to live in, and strive to be neighbors with Li Ang's family.

At that time, I will bow my head and see each other every day, and cultivate and cultivate feelings first. "

Li Leling subconsciously asked: "Who? Which family?"

"Clan, your nineteenth uncle's family."

"Uncle Nineteen"

Li Leling recalled it, opened his mouth and said in astonishment: "His family has a son and two daughters, the youngest daughter is eight years old, it's impossible.

The eldest daughter is twenty-eight! "

"Ahem, I am twenty-eight years old."

Li Hui coughed awkwardly, "It's not like you don't know the image of our clan among the people.

Five surnames and Qiwang are unwilling to get married, and young talents with potential do not want to be a princess, so they will not be able to become important ministers in the future.

Academy disciples are the most suitable. "

"That's too much"

Li Leling pursed her lower lip, but did not speak.

"As a friend and cousin, I naturally hope that Cousin Xiangyun can find a good husband-in-law like Li Ang."

Li Hui looked at the expression on the girl's face again, and said, "But, as someone's brother, I still hope that my sister can get what she wants."

"elder brother!"

Li Leling blushed slightly, and slapped the list on the table in embarrassment.

"I didn't say which sister it was, why are you so excited."

Li Hui laughed, "I don't know who it is at the beginning of the year. Every day as soon as the newspapers are delivered to the palace, I can't wait to read the news related to Suzhou.

I don't know who it was during the day, but when I saw Li Ang on the stage, I almost bit my lip nervously. "

Li Leling waved her fist in embarrassment, Li Hui evaded nimbly and said with a smile: "If someone hides his thoughts like this, be careful that other girls will get there first.

There were more than one or two girls in the auditorium who looked at Li Ang strangely.

Don't be the last to hear the news of someone's engagement, crying and begging Aye to come to a heavenly family to give him a marriage, and rescue the scene urgently. "

"Ignore you, I'll go find my sister-in-law."

Li Leling couldn't say anything about Li Hui, Li Leling pursed her mouth, quickened her pace and pushed the door out, covering her cheeks with both hands as soon as she went out, to cover up the blush on her face.

Marriage

No no no, what am I thinking!

I first became friends with Cuiqiao, and then I got to know Li Ang.

If it's that, then I'll be that, it's too much

Li Leling was so distraught that he quickened his pace subconsciously.

And Li Hui looked at the door closed with the wind, shook his head with a smile, and sighed.

After this wedding, he didn't know if he could stay in Chang'an,

Will those ministers in the imperial court who support his elder brother continue to attack him?

My younger sister has always been in poor health, if she can marry a good doctor, even if she leaves Chang'an, she can rest assured.

"well"

In the luxurious room, only a faint sigh remained.

————

Squeak.

The carriage stopped at the backyard of Shangshu's mansion, Li Leling jumped out of the carriage, and led by the maid of Shangshu's mansion familiarly, brought him to the boudoir of Shangshu's concubine's daughter and her future sister-in-law.

"Le Ling is here."

The future Princess of Yue, named Yan Xuan, was being served by a maid, changing sets of jewelry one after another, and choosing the attire for the wedding day.

Seeing Li Leling appearing, Yan Xuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and let the maids and servants disperse, and the aunt and sister-in-law sat down to chat.

".I just came from Furong Garden. The construction progress there is very fast, and it will be completed in a month. But the trees by the lake are a bit sparse, and I may need to bring a few more from Lingnan. Which one do you like, sister-in-law? trees?"

"In the past few days, there were competitions in the school palace, and everyone was not in the mood to study hard. Dr. Wang Wenlun still scolded the students who were sleeping in class, saying that they could still sleep at this age, and they were useless."

"Yesterday, the palace invited Cardinal Xinxiu from Taihaoshan to come to Daming Palace to give a lecture on the teachings of Haotian. Aye, Auntie hopes that Cardinal Xinxiu will be able to attend your wedding with your fourth brother at that time. It is best to follow the instructions of Taihaoshan Fengshang, personally witness the marriage for you."

Li Leling and Yan Xuan chatted without saying a word. The daughter of the Ministry of Industry Minister's calligrapher has a gentle personality and a better temper than her. It is very pleasant to chat.

Yan Xuan listened with a smile, but suddenly she frowned slightly, and subconsciously leaned back, lying on the back of the chair.

"What happened to sister-in-law?"

Li Leling subconsciously asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, it's just that I'm a little tired from preparing for the wedding recently."

Yan Xuan rubbed her shoulders lightly, looked at the back of her palm with some doubts, and put it down.

In the blind spot of the two people's perspective, a dark red line quietly moved along the blood vessels under Yan Xuan's skin, disappearing.

Downstairs in the boudoir, the plain-looking maid seemed to feel something, stopped sweeping the floor, looked up at the ceiling, and took the opportunity of adjusting the hairpin to move the steel needle inserted in her head.

Crow Nine's steel needle.

Everything is going according to plan.
