"So Auntie is here." Rong Geer chuckled, looking around the room, and finally found his child in the crowd.
This little guy was surrounded by Youshi and Li Wan, with a happy smile on his pink little face.
Brother Rong cursed, not wanting to look at the child more. You are treating your eldest brother as your treasure. Taking a brief look at Youshi, seeing her delicate face that was about the same age as Li Wan, I sighed secretly and let go of the resentment in my heart.
When Jia Zhen was alive, You's grandmother was not favored in the house even though she was the second wife. After all, Jia Zhen is a dedicated person who only cares about those young girls in their teens. The You family also lived a leisurely life in the house. Before Jia Zhen's death, You had not given birth to a son and a half daughters. Calculated in detail, her life is much better than that of Grandma Zhu, Li Wan, who has been widowed for many years.
Li Wanshang still has Jia Lan to look forward to, but Youshi has to live with the name of Grandma Zhen and Mrs. Dongfu for decades.
Brother Rong curled his lips, but the eldest brother is the child of Uncle Rong and Grandma Rong.
"Since Auntie is here, Ronger will come over later." Jia Rong reluctantly glanced at her elder brother.
Li Wan had a strange look on his face, not because he suspected that there was something ulterior between Jia Rong and Youshi, but because he thought Brother Rong would avoid suspicion like this. Grandma Zhu's heart was filled with all kinds of emotions, which was extremely complicated.
Although she was specially invited by Youshi today, she didn't expect to see Brother Rong, but after meeting her, she felt a little strange in her heart for some reason. If Brother Rong hadn't said this, Li Wan would have avoided suspicion and left. After listening to Brother Rong's words to avoid suspicion, I felt uncomfortable.
Li Wan smiled and said, "Is there any secrets that I can't hear?"
"No way, Rong'er is just afraid of disturbing his wife and aunt." Brother Rong replied eagerly. It is said that people’s eyes can speak, and looks cannot deceive people. Jia Rong was a little panicked. He saw the brilliance in Li Wan's eyes that he had never seen before.
Li Wan has really changed a lot recently, from that lifeless dead fish eyes to a pair of dazzling pearls. Jia Rong admits that he is a bastard and a scumbag, the kind of scum who likes anyone he meets and has no bottom line. However, he really didn't dare to have more contact with Li Wan at the moment.
You know, a woman in her twenties is considered young in the minds of later generations, extremely young. At least that's what Jia Rong thinks.
A beautiful young woman, a beautiful widow, a beautiful widow with light in her eyes.
It is easy for people to have evil intentions.
Especially a shameless and bottomless scum like Jia Rong. Brother Rong has a very clear understanding of himself. After being in contact with Li Wan too much, he will definitely not be able to resist teasing such a beautiful woman. Especially when there are examples like Wang Xifeng and Xue Baochai in front of him, it is easier for him to have some evil thoughts.
If Li Wan was still the lifeless woman who guarded the property in the small courtyard and whose life was gray, Brother Rong would not have any thoughts. But when a woman has emotions and colors, she becomes charming.
Li Wan covered his mouth with his hand and twisted the silk, and said with a smile: "I didn't avoid any trouble in the past, but now I am changing the rules. I mentioned you to my sister-in-law just now, and said that the family is afraid that you will spoil the children, so we should be on guard. You. I’ve also given you a lot of nice things to say, and I’m trying to persuade your wife.”
Brother Rong was surprised in his heart, and said with a grateful smile: "I have to thank auntie. My wife and daughter-in-law are making a fuss about it, saying that it is better to block it. This eldest brother was cute when he was a child, and I might be happy to see him. When he grows up, It’s impossible to say that I might be annoying or disgusting.”
Youshi scolded: "Look, you are the most annoying thing. If you want to leave, leave my yard as soon as possible, and wait until next month to see big brother again."
Brother Rong was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile: "It seems that Auntie didn't explain it to Madam just now."
Youshi snorted: "It's so cheap and so good. You come back from work covered in stinky sweat. If you come here like this again, you will never get a big brother again. I'm merciful today. You can only watch from here. No need to hug me." he."
"What kind of truth is this?" Brother Rong said.
Li Wan joked: "Sister-in-law is afraid that Brother Rong will smoke the eldest brother."
Jia Rong raised her hand and smelled it, and said to herself: "There is no peculiar smell."
Everyone in the room couldn't help but laugh when they saw Brother Rong's actions. Li Wan laughed and moved to an empty seat and said, "Brother Rong, please sit over here."
Youshi looked at Li Wan's move, and there was a hint of deep meaning in her eyes. Then Li Wan said, "As long as your aunt doesn't mind your stink, just stay by her side and don't come to my place."
Brother Rong's eyelids twitched, feeling like he was being plotted.
It's a man's sixth sense. Although it's not well developed, it's enough to make him a little suspicious. It doesn't make sense. Is You saying this intentionally or unintentionally? Brother Rong couldn't refuse at this moment. He stepped over and said to Aunt Zhu with a forced smile, "Thank you, Auntie, for your tolerance."
Li Wan could smell Brother Rong's body, and when he looked at the person and body in front of him, several parts of his body felt faintly warm. I don't know how to think about it, but she can not only hold Rong, but also hold him and tolerate him.
Jia Rong didn't know what Li Wan was thinking. When she saw the infant little guy, all her thoughts were gone. I focused all my attention on my brother and couldn't help but tease him with my hands.
Youshi said in a loud voice: "Can you clean your hands?"
"..."
Jia Rong smiled awkwardly, which made all the girls in the room laugh.
In the evening, Brother Rong left. However, Li Wan was enthusiastically stayed by Youshi. The two sat at the same table, ate and drank, and met each other often.
On the way back to the Grand View Garden, Su Yun said with a smile: "I never thought that our Uncle Xiao Rong would have such a side. In the past, people said he was filial, but I didn't quite believe it. Now that I saw him, I didn't expect that Uncle Xiao Rong would be in Zhen's house." To be so respectful in front of grandma, I really treat her as a filial wife."
Li Wan also recalled the way Brother Rong teased her elder brother just now, and the word "cute" came to her mind. In the past, when she met Jia Rong, she always had business affairs and talked about things. What she saw was the mature side of Brother Rong, but today she felt something else.
She smiled and said: "In the past, all the girls in the mansion were willing to run east. How could there be no reason?"
Suyun said: "That's true. Our second grandma Lian used to be close to Dongfu. In the past, second grandma still called Uncle Zhen eldest brother, and uncle Xiao Rong treated second grandma like a filial aunt. Now second grandma still calls her eldest brother. I’m living in the east to recuperate. I heard that Grandma Xiaorong specially arranged for a few pleasing little maids to run errands at Second Grandma’s place. She will soon become the Queen Mother of the East Mansion."
Li Wan's face darkened, he looked back, and when he saw no one behind him, he said: "Don't mention Feng Lazi living in the East Mansion in the future. Whether she is the Queen Mother or a noble concubine in the East Mansion, it has nothing to do with us. .”
Seeing the change in grandma's expression, Su Yun hurriedly restrained herself and nodded.
The two men, one master and one servant, walked through Huifang Garden and entered through the east corner gate of Grand View Garden. First pass outside Yihong Courtyard and walk all the way west. As we were walking near Cuiyan Bridge, we heard a woman calling from behind the bamboo forest to the south.
"Is this Sister-in-law Zhu in front of me?"
Li Wan stopped and looked back. It was Xue Baochai leading the maid Yinger out of the bamboo forest path of Xiaoxiang Pavilion holding a lantern.
Xue Baochai smiled and said, "Where did my sister-in-law Fang Da come from?"
Li Wan was about to turn back when he suddenly remembered something. He said to Xue Baochai: "I was called by Sister-in-law Zhen of Dongfu for a while during the day, and then went back to Xifu to handle some internal affairs. I am so busy that I can only go back to the garden. Are you having fun together in Xiaoxiang Pavilion today?"
"No wonder the maids went to Daoxiang Village to invite sister-in-law later in the afternoon, but no one was seen. It turns out that sister-in-law has gone to Dongfu." Shi, everyone knows that my sister-in-law is very talented, so I want my sister-in-law to preside over the decision."
"It turns out this is an event. You need to say hello in advance again." Li Wan replied with a smile.
Xue Baochai said: "There is no sister-in-law here today, and the sisters can't tell each other how ugly they are. Next time, we will have a big battle, and we hope that my sister-in-law will call Grandma Dongfu Rong. I heard that she has also read some books. Yes, we can have fun together."
Li Wan just became interested and laughed twice, but it didn't sound right. She knew about the relationship between Baochai and Brother Rong, but it was not clear what the relationship between Baochai and Brother Rong's wife was like. There was a lot of excitement in the garden on Baoyu's birthday that day, and Li Wan didn't know whether Brother Rong's wife knew about Baochai and Brother Rong's affairs.
Grandma Zhu didn't want to get involved in the fight between Baochai and Brother Rong's wife, at least that's what she thought. Li Wan forced a smile and said, "I'm afraid it's hard to get her. I have little contact with Brother Rong and his wife. Apart from meeting at the old lady in the past, I don't have much chance to talk."
Li Wan expressed one idea: Brother Rong and his wife and I are not familiar with each other.
Xue Baochai smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Brother Rong's wife has to call her aunty when she sees her sister-in-law. Let's call her here. It will be more lively if there are more people."
Li Wan walked forward with a glint in his eyes, thinking he had figured out Xue Baochai's purpose. I think Xue Baochai must have wanted him to invite Brother Rong's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Qin, and then show off Baochai in the poem, taking the opportunity to attack Brother Rong's daughter-in-law.
At least she didn't want to be Baochai's accomplice, and said with a chuckle: "If you want to talk about the person who is familiar with Dongfu, it is Feng Lazi. She is still living in Dongfu now, you can just invite her here and call her by the way. Let Brother Rong and his wife come over together. It also saves a lot of trouble and makes more people lively."
Li Wan glanced sideways at Baochai's reaction.
But Baochai's performance disappointed Grandma Zhu.
Xue Baochai smiled and said: "Others don't know Sister Feng's temperament, but I know it. She has decided not to come after listening to the poetry activity. No matter how you invite her, it will be useless."
"That's right." Li Wan laughed. It was common knowledge in the house that Feng Lazi was illiterate. She secretly teased her again and said, "If Feng Lazi can be given an official position, she may be willing to participate in poetry activities."
Xue Baochai also laughed after hearing this, and hurriedly told Ying'er beside him: "Don't spread these words, lest Feng girl hears it and comes to trouble my sister-in-law."
Li Wan then remembered that he was a little proud for a moment and smiled awkwardly. Looking at Baochai's expression again, he found that Miss Baochai had no other emotions when mentioning Feng Lazi. According to what was revealed in the conversation that day, Miss Bao must have suspected that the brother Feng Lazi gave birth to was the son of Brother Rong. And Miss Bao has such a relationship with Brother Rong, so how come she doesn't seem to care at all right now.
Li Wan found that he couldn't understand something.
The two chatted and walked west, crossed the bridge, and then headed north. When they arrived at Daoxiang Village, Li Wan resigned and returned first.
Xue Baochai suppressed his smile, glanced at his mouth, and muttered: "It's a big deal for Brother Rong, a bastard."
Ying'er asked in a low voice: "How does the girl calculate?"
Xue Baochai snorted: "How else can we calculate it? It all depends on whether Feng Yatou will resort to tricks first. Now Sister-in-law Zhu also knows that Feng Yatou's child is Brother Rong's. If she is completely relieved, she will not even use any tricks. , we have nothing to worry about.”
Ying'er said: "This girl has offended Sister Feng."
Xue Baochai smiled nonchalantly and said: "If it weren't for Girl Feng, how could I be in this situation? Since she dragged me, why not allow me to drag her when something happens? The Feng girls in the house know the temper of Sister-in-law Zhu best. , If Girl Feng also feels that Sister-in-law Zhu is not a talkative person who can threaten her, we don’t have to worry about being exposed anymore."
"Exposed?" Uncle Li Rong of Dongfu chuckled, "Where was it exposed?"
"Aren't these legs exposed?" Qin Keqing scolded him in a sweet voice. She bent over and pulled the slit of her cheongsam with one hand, and said embarrassingly: "There are two buttons left on the top, but there's not even half a button on the bottom. This How can I wear it to meet people?"
"You need to wear it out."
Brother Rong laughed.
It turns out that Baochai had given away a lot of clothes in the past few months.
"Just change it." Qin Keqing said angrily.
Uncle Rong said helplessly: "I will change it after a while, it will be too late. There is nothing we can do about it, so we can only publish it like this. Wait for about ten minutes, and then we will change everything."
Qin Keqing asked: "It really only takes ten minutes?"
"Yes."
"really?"
"Seriously, for sure. It only takes about ten minutes and I will change it later."
then……
If Li Wan was still the lifeless woman who guarded the property in the small courtyard and whose life was gray, Brother Rong would not have any thoughts. But when a woman has emotions and colors, she becomes charming.
Li Wan covered his mouth with his hand and twisted the silk, and said with a smile: "I didn't avoid any trouble in the past, but now I am changing the rules. I mentioned you to my sister-in-law just now, and said that the family is afraid that you will spoil the children, so we should be careful. You. I’ve also given you a lot of nice things to say, and I’m trying to persuade your wife.”
Brother Rong was surprised, and said with a grateful smile: "I have to thank auntie. My wife and daughter-in-law are making a fuss, and they all say that it is better to block things. This eldest brother was cute when he was a child, and I might be happy to see him. When he grows up, It’s impossible to say that I might be annoying or disgusting.”
"Just change it." Qin Keqing said angrily.
Uncle Rong said helplessly: "I will change it after a while, it will be too late. There is nothing we can do about it, so we can only publish it like this. Wait for about ten minutes, and then we will change everything."
Qin Keqing asked: "It really only takes ten minutes?"
"Yes."
"really?"
"Seriously, for sure. It only takes about ten minutes, and the above will change it."
