After breakfast, Li Qingyi left the Wei Mansion and returned to the Li Family.
Ruan didn't go to the shop today and stayed at home to wait for Li Qingyi.
Li Qingyi was a little curious, "Second Aunt, you are so solemn, could it be that something big has happened?"
"It's a matter of your life, what do you think?"
"My lifelong event?!"
Ruan smiled and said: "Why are you so surprised? Haven't there been people who came to propose marriage before? But this time the candidate may be to your liking."
Li Qingyi was stunned for a moment. Was it what she wanted?
Could it be possible that the gift list Qin Zeng mentioned before was a betrothal gift? Could it be that he had already secretly had a showdown with his second uncle?
But with his current status, how could he come to the Li Mansion to propose marriage in a fair and just manner?
Just as she was puzzled, Ruan said, "The Princess of Zhenbei came to talk to me a while ago and vaguely mentioned the purpose of her visit to the capital this time."
Li Qingyi was immediately disappointed when he heard this.
Qin Zeng said before that Princess Zhenbei would go north to the capital every year during the New Year and return to the old residence of Prince Zhenbei to pay homage to her late husband. However, she had come alone before, but this year she brought Gongsun Yi with her.
It's already spring, and they haven't left Beijing yet.
It is not difficult to guess that Princess Zhenbei wanted to marry Gongsun Yi.
"Princess Zhenbei doesn't want to put me and her son together, right?"
"What do you mean by what you said? You are both talented and beautiful. I saw that Gongsun Yi's child was humble and polite. Your second uncle also liked him very much and taught him as a junior. Last time you were together, I It looks like you guys get along well." Ruan looked at Li Qingyi's face and asked, "What? Could it be that your second uncle and I misunderstood?"
"Second Aunt, this marriage can't happen!"
Ruan's face was slightly troubled, "I also thought that Gongsun Yi had a complicated background and was not a good match, but your second uncle said that the emperor has no taboo against Zhenbei Palace, and Gongsun Yi does not intend to become an official. If you two can get together, , wouldn’t it be good to be a wealthy and idle man for the rest of your life?”
"Rich and idle people..."
Li Qingyi murmured these words, it was really a vision like a fairy.
But something is wrong.
If Gongsun Yi was replaced by Qin Zeng, she would have nothing to say.
If she and Qin Zeng could be a wealthy and idle couple, a couple of gods and immortals, traveling all over the mountains and rivers, the regrets of these two lives would be nothing.
Ruan thought she was interested and said with a smile, "Let's go into the house and talk slowly."
Li Qingyi sighed and pulled her to sit down, "Second Aunt, I have no intention of Gongsun Yi."
Ruan was slightly startled, "Why are you so determined? Could it be that... you already have a candidate in mind?"
She looked at her niece just now, as if she was very disappointed.
"Who are you waiting for to propose marriage?"
Li Qingyi secretly sighed, the second aunt is indeed the shrewdest businessman, even she can see this, but she can only lie, "Second aunt, I don't, I just don't want to marry so early, this noble son of the capital There are a lot of them, let me pick them slowly! I am disappointed because Gongsun Yi is not the person I like!"
Mrs. Ruan raised her eyebrows, "Yi'er, you are a very good girl. No matter who you want to marry, there is no one you can't match. But my second aunt has to explain this marriage to you clearly. You have to pay attention to fate, but don't pay too much attention to fate. If you are too close to each other, life will often not be easy. "
Li Qingyi was slightly stunned, "Second Aunt..."
Ruan held her hand and said softly: "I don't know what the princess told you, but a man has three wives and four concubines, and a woman can't even say "no". If you put the word "love" in the first place, One day I will be covered with bruises. Just say that between me and your second uncle, I am lucky that he does not take concubines, but if one day he really falls in love with some woman, what can I do? I have money, and I have I can stand on my own feet, but can I, and what will happen to my children?”
Li Qingyi pursed his lips. Qin Zeng should have other women in the future.
If it were her previous life, she would have done what a royal wife should do. If Qin Zeng wanted to take a concubine, she would not object at all, and she would also keep the back house in order.
But in this life, she seemed to have changed.
The thought of Qin Zeng having another woman made her heart feel numb.
"Yier, what are you thinking about?"
Li Qingyi came to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about what my second aunt said."
Ruan smiled and said: "Second Aunt is not stopping you from being emotional, she is just telling you to leave some room for yourself."
Li Qingyi nodded blankly, "Yeah."
"You should think about Gongsun Yi's matter again, and I will discuss it with your second uncle later."
Li Qingyi wanted to say that there was no need to think about it. It was impossible for her and Gongsun Yi to say it, but it seemed too suspicious to say it, so he stopped talking.
Back at Qinghuai Courtyard, Li Qingyi invited Jiang Shun to come over and respond.
Jiang Shun said, "Just now Dawu went to reply to Mr. Qin. Mr. Qin said that he would come to see the girl in the evening and asked me to wait until evening to discuss the matter..."
Li Qingyi was speechless. Did Qin Zeng want to suffocate her to death?
"It doesn't matter, you tell him what you want, and when he comes, you tell him again."
Jiang Shun scratched his head, "Girl, Mr. Qin said that if I tell you secretly, he will break both of my legs..."
Li Qingyi gritted his teeth when he heard this, "This bastard!"
*****
It was getting late, and in the main courtyard of the second room of the Lin Mansion, Mrs. Zhao could not hide her excitement in her words. .
"Mother Wang, are all those clothes ready?"
"Okay, this slave rolled all the silver notes into a long and thin roll and sewed them into his clothes. The broken silver was also divided into several bags, and a few pieces of gold and silver jewelry were left on the body to avoid arousing suspicion."
"good……"
Mrs. Zhao was so excited that her hands and feet were a bit unruly, "Yi'er asked me to leave the city first. He will find a chance to join me. Then we will fly away and never come back!"
Mother Wang was a little worried, "It's easy for us to say that no one will care if we go out for any reason, but how can the young master get out of the city? There is still a portrait of the young master posted at the city gate..."
Zhao's excitement cooled down a bit, "Yi'er must have a way."
"Then I will go and see if there is anything else to clean up."
Mrs. Zhao nodded, stood up and walked out.
"Madam, where are you going?"
A dark fire flashed in Zhao's eyes, "I have something to do, you are busy and don't worry about me."
Mother Wang was a little hesitant, but after all, it was more important to leave the city tomorrow, so she went about her business.
When Zhao went out, the courtyard was dark, and no one even lit the lights.
She is now called the Second Wife, and she actually has nothing to do anymore.
The servants are also accustomed to flattering others and putting others down, so they went to the aunt's yard to show their courtesy and ask for rewards.
If she told the big house about these things, the big house might take care of it, but Zhao was no longer in the mood to worry about what would happen to Lin Dongxing and what would happen to the Lin family.
Let it be chaos!
This family should have broken up long ago!
She casually picked up a lantern, lit it and carried it in her hand, and walked all the way to the yard of Aunt Gu who was hoping to have a son and was hidden in the golden house.
