A few days later, Uncle Zhen did not come, but Lian Renqing did.
When Uncle Fu came to inform me, I was watching Sophora japonica embroidering a handkerchief in the yard. The butterfly drama and flower clusters on it were embroidered so lifelike that I was amazed to see them.
After Uncle Fu left, Huaizhu asked me curiously: "I didn't expect Lord Lian to come to invite me in person this time. When did the eldest lady become so reasonable?"
I put away her handkerchief and smiled without saying a word. Lian Renqing was willing to come to the house in person to hand out the invitations. It's not necessarily because Fan Fengchu was well-informed and reasonable. Maybe she was willing to come on her own?
Judging from the current situation, I think Uncle Zhen must have conveyed my personal wishes to the Taifu Mansion and the Lian Mansion well.
Lian Renqing originally intended to ease the sisterly relationship between me and Fan Fengchu. Due to emotions and reasons, our relationship has improved, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for him, so he does not want to cause too much trouble with us.
If there is an opportunity, I will find a way to build a relationship with the two families.
I said to Huaizhu: "Let's go and take a look."
Huaizhu put down the embroidery work at hand, and I put down the handkerchief and walked towards the front hall with Huaizhu.
From all the way, he saw Lian Renqing, who was dressed in a bamboo green gown and looked handsome, standing in the hall with his hands lowered, waiting for a long time.
The green tea on the table looked untouched, and Uncle Fu was waiting beside it.
When Lian Renqing heard the footsteps, he quickly turned around, looked at Huaizhu and I approaching, and quickly raised his hands and saluted: "I've met Madam."
With a smile on my face and a kind tone, I signaled: "Brother-in-law is here, sit down."
Lian Renqing also waited for a long time. When he saw that I was treating him politely, he was not polite. He sat next to me and I ordered Huaizhu to serve tea again.
Then he asked Lian Renqing knowingly: "I wonder what your brother-in-law does for coming here today?"
Lian Renqing smiled shyly: "It makes Madam laugh, Feng Chu will add more people to my Lian family this time. It is originally a happy event."
"As my aunt, Madam, and the Prime Minister as my uncle, it's not convenient for Feng Chu to go out, so he thought of sending me to pick you two up to go to the Lian Mansion for a cup of full-moon wine to celebrate your niece."
Huaizhu handed the brewed Biluochun to him, and he took it politely.
I think that the entire Lian government should be Lian Renqing and behave a little better.
Now that he's here and has already talked about it, I can't possibly refuse to agree to it.
I also answered with a smile while holding the tea cup: "You also know that Mr. Xiang has a lot of things to do, so he is definitely not lucky enough to drink my niece's wedding wine. How about this, I will go and see my niece in person."
When Lian Renqing heard this, he quickly put down his tea cup, stood up and cupped his hands with me, saying, "Then I will go back and sweep the bed with Feng Chu, waiting for Madam to arrive."
I ordered Uncle Fu to see the guests off, and then when he came back, I said to him: "The Prime Minister has been busy recently, so he doesn't need to worry about the affairs of the Lian Mansion."
Uncle Fu nodded respectfully to express his understanding.
I took Huaizhu back to Xiaoxiangyuan. On the way, I wondered if the plot was different from what I had read in the book?
The original work is that Fan Fengchu clearly gave birth to a son for the third time, but just after hearing what Lian Renqing said, it was clearly a daughter?
Could it be that my appearance changed the original plot in the book?
Along the way, Huaizhu saw me thinking deeply and couldn't help but hold my arm and said: "If the young lady doesn't want to go to the eldest lady's wedding banquet, she can just send Lord Lian back. Why do you agree to come and embarrass yourself?" ?”
I smiled: "Who said I was making things difficult for myself?"
Huaizhu didn't understand: "Then you promised others with your front foot, but why did you look so sad on your back?"
I pinched her soft cheek: "Anyway, don't worry about it, I have my own way."
The next day, I took Huaizhu to Yangxinyuan to ask for instructions from Mr. Li.
After not seeing each other for a while, Mr. Li has become much stronger and stronger.
After meeting me, I naturally couldn't talk about when I would give her a grandson.
It's no wonder that she was anxious, after all, Dai Shishi's belly was swelling day by day, but there was no movement at all on my side.
Besides, she had heard more or less about the gossip between Liu Huaian and me from Aunt Zhou.
I wonder if this is a problem after all.
Two people who hate each other can never sleep together.
For this reason, she also secretly instructed Aunt Zhou to do psychological work between me and Liu Huaian, in an effort to soften the relationship between us as husband and wife.
But when she heard that Fan Fengchu had given birth to three children, she felt a little overwhelmed.
She almost gritted her teeth when facing me: "Zhi Yatou, Zhi Yatou, they are all born to the same father, how come there is such a big difference?"
"People have three babies every four years, and you are almost four years old, but you haven't even laid an egg."
These words really made Huaizhu and I feel ashamed, especially me. Where did this inexplicable pear come from?
I came to her and knelt down in fear, held her hand, and said seriously: "My daughter-in-law knows that her belly is not up to par, but the eldest sister also gave birth to a daughter even after three births. If I were an old lady, what do you think?" Which outcome is better?"
Unexpectedly, everyone present sighed and shook their heads.
Not only did Mrs. Li look solemn, but Aunt Zhou and Mother Liu also sighed.
Because no one could tell for a moment whose life was more miserable.
Mrs. Li sighed sadly: "I can only say that I am not blessed." After saying that, she pulled me and said earnestly: "My old lady doesn't have so many requirements. I just want to see you give birth to a baby for our Liu family in my lifetime." Fat boy, I’m satisfied.”
I smiled and didn't answer, and then quietly changed the subject: "So when Lian Renqing comes to invite you this time, does the old lady think her daughter-in-law should go or not?"
Li said indifferently: "If you want to go, you can go. If you don't want to go, don't go. It's up to you."
I understood, and smiled at Mrs. Li and said, "Daughter-in-law is thinking, everyone has come to invite me, and my daughter-in-law has also answered the question for the prime minister. It should be okay for my daughter-in-law to go alone, right?"
Mrs. Li nodded: "That's alright. Remember to ask Mrs. Zhou to prepare the gifts so that others don't laugh at us."
Aunt Zhou quickly agreed: "Don't worry, old lady, my slaves will be arranged properly."
I know that Mrs. Li's willingness to relent is because of the kindness of my father Fan Zi, otherwise she would not look down on an honest man.
After all, it is a good thing for me to keep in touch with my parents' side.
Soon it was the day of Fan Fengchu's full moon wine, and Aunt Zhou and Huaizhu were busy busy early in the morning.
I sat in front of the dressing table and let Huaizhu dress me up. The two maids next to me were holding trays, which contained the clothes and accessories I would wear when I went out later.
Aunt Zhou prepared gifts and lists, and sent Uncle Fu to fetch a carriage.
The entire Xiaoxiang Academy suddenly became busy.
At this time, Liu Huai'an came again. I think the time should be half an hour away and it is morning time.
When he saw that I had packed up so grandly and looked at the gifts in the yard, he couldn't help but ask me: "What is it for, madam?"
I didn't reply. I still held grudges about the last time he pinched me.
Huaizhu knew my temperament and understood that I didn't want to talk to him. While inserting the treasure hairpin for me, he replied: "In reply to the Prime Minister's words, today is the day when the eldest lady of the Taifu Mansion is full moon. The lady is going to be invited to attend my niece's full moon party. .”
As a result, Liu Huai'an's face darkened again after hearing this: "Why didn't anyone notify me about this?"
I took the opportunity to roll my eyes at him: "Don't you know it now?"
