After a pleasant meal, Li Luansong felt very happy. He even took a walk on the street to wait until the smell of alcohol on his body had dissipated before returning home.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Song Qingyue coming out of Zhang Chengru's Dezhengtang.
Since Shen Que got married to Zhang Chengru, he has been living alone in Dezhengtang on the grounds that he is busy with official duties, and Ningxiang Pavilion has become Shen Que's courtyard alone.
"Hey, my sister-in-law really knows how to enjoy herself. Her face is glowing after eating." Song Qingyue's sharp voice sounded, "Poor my cousin, he obviously has a wife but no one cares about her and no one cares about her. He just had lunch now."
Li Luansong was in a good mood and was too lazy to pay attention to her, so he turned around and walked towards Ningxiang Pavilion.
But Song Qingyue stood up reluctantly, stepped forward to block his way, and said: "Sister-in-law, why are you ignoring me? Ouch, smelling the smell of alcohol on her body, she doesn't look like a serious woman. Isn't this ridiculous?"
Li Luansong was so noisy by her that his head was buzzing. He went up to push her away and shouted: "I don't look like a serious lady, you do. You marry him. You keep saying that your cousin is long and your cousin is short. He is Your uncle, do you know that you are married, you are not ashamed, and you still call me cousin, a man and a woman live together in the same room, you want shame."
"you……"
"What am I? I still feel sorry for him. If you want to feel sorry for him, go ahead. He hasn't eaten. Why don't you eat? Do you want to feed him? You go and feed him. I won't stop him."
"Shen Que..."
"Hey, I'm warning you, if you yell at me and call me by my name again, I'll beat you up. Are you still cool? You look like a painting. Go hang it on the wall."
Li Luansong didn't wait for Song Qingyue to react, turned around and led Zelan into the Lemon Fragrance Pavilion. The courtyard door closed with a bang, making Song Qingyue tremble with anger.
He entered the room in twos and twos. It was sweltering in the summer. As soon as he entered the room, he quickly took off his coat and picked up the fan to fan himself.
Zelan took the fan in his hand, fanned him vigorously, and said: "The lady is so powerful, she deserves to be scolded."
This girl has obviously gained confidence in the past few days, walking sideways.
Li Luansong sat down and drank two cups of tea. After thinking for a while, he told Zelan: "Go find someone to find out why Song Qingyue came out of Dezhengtang and what she was doing with Zhang Chengru."
"Okay." Zelan accepted the order happily. She thought that now that the lady has changed her gender, she has begun to care about the husband. She encouraged: "The lady should care more about the husband, and the men in our family should pay close attention. To avoid being entangled by those demons and monsters, it would be so embarrassing."
Seeing that he didn't speak, the little girl added: "My wife was too cold to my husband in the past. It can be said that she takes care of her. It can also be said that she covers everything and does everything, but she feels a little unfamiliar."
"From now on, my wife may speak to you more gently and kindly, or you can..."
"Zelan." Li Luansong couldn't stand her nagging and interrupted her decisively: "Why should I take the initiative with him? Why doesn't he take the initiative with me? You have already said it. I take good care of him. Has he ever taken care of him? I?"
"Ah, it seems..." Zeelan thought for a while, "No."
"Right."
"But, he is a husband, a man, and we are women..."
Realizing that Zelan was about to start her nonsense again, Li Luansong said loudly: "What's wrong with the woman? Does she deserve to serve others?"
"No, you don't deserve it." Zeelan was suddenly interrupted by him and was startled, "Did your slave say the wrong thing?"
Li Luansong shook his head and asked: "You talk too much. What did I say a few days ago? Guess why I have a good relationship with the princess, right? If you didn't guess, I said I would punish you."
"ah."
"No." Li Luansong glanced at her, "What's the punishment? Oh, by the way, you can't eat."
"Lady."
"Don't call me ma'am." Li Luansong stood up and said, "Go ahead and get me some water. I want to take a bath. Don't eat today."
"But madam..."
"If you say anything else, you won't have anything to eat tomorrow."
Zelan was discouraged, responded, and went to fetch water.
As soon as the incense stick was burned, the bathing room was filled with water vapor. Li Luansong called Zelan in, closed the door and started taking a bath.
Ever since he changed his body, Li Luansong had never touched his body. Although it was Shen Que's hand, he could feel the feeling. This was not good. He was a gentleman and could never take advantage of other people's little ladies.
Therefore, Zelan takes care of the three baths a day.
Zelan didn't understand. He had grown up with his wife. Although it was his duty to take care of the bathing, it was too strange. The lady had always bathed by herself. After she lost her memory, she changed it to her. Waiting for a bath, could it be said that he has lost his memory so much that he even forgot how to take a bath?
Just serve her, but she was not allowed to use her hands, so she could only wash her with a towel. What kind of rules was this?
Looking at the way the eldest lady closed her eyes and meditated, it didn't look like she was enjoying it very much, but rather... she seemed to dislike her body so much that she didn't even look at it. It was simply incomprehensible.
There is also the makeup and dressing on weekdays. In the past, the lady did it herself. She liked elegant and light makeup and dressing up. Now Zelan does it for her. It seems that she suddenly no longer knows how to do it.
Even the makeup has become strong and charming, which is really good-looking, but... Zelan thought about it, it was too weird.
It seems that people cannot lose their memory easily, it is like a different person.
She was lost in thought, and Li Luansong glanced at her and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Zelan came back to his senses, sighed and said: "I didn't think about anything. I thought I would starve to death without food."
Li Luansong said no, and said: "Let's do this. If you do what you asked for, you will be exempted from punishment.":
Zelan became more energetic and said: "I have inquired clearly. Isn't our husband now valued by His Highness the King of Jin to be responsible for the imperial examination? Then Song Qingyue's natal brother wants to participate in this year's Qiuwei. No, go De Zhengtang has been trying to get some inside information from Lang Jun, such as what will be tested, what articles to prepare, etc. However, Lang Jun ignored her and kicked her out because he thought she was annoying today. Yes, by chance, I happened to meet you, madam."
Li Luansong nodded. It was exactly as he guessed, so let's wait and see what happens.
Zelan felt that things were done well. He glanced at Li Luansong and seemed very satisfied. He asked, "Madam, my dinner..."
"Madam, the old lady sent someone to invite you to come over. She said she had something to ask you."
Before Zelan could finish his words, he was interrupted by a voice from outside the door. He said with a horrified look on his face: "It's over. I'm probably here to trouble my wife. What should I do?"
Li Luansong said slowly: "What are you afraid of? Tell her that I will go after I take a shower and let them wait."
As a result, Li Luansong slept for a long time and didn't wake up until the moon was on the branches. He unhurriedly changed his clothes and put on makeup before slowly going to Qinghui Hall.
The master and servant had just walked into the courtyard of Qinghui Hall when they heard laughter and the noise of children in the house.
Li Luansong gave Zelan a look and said, "Look, they are having fun with their grandson. Otherwise, let's go." Zelan nodded. Just as they were about to turn around, they heard the maid standing at the door say: "Here comes the eldest lady." Yes, the old lady is waiting for you."
Okay, they can't go anymore. They went to the door. When they reached the door, they were stopped by the maid, who said: "Madam, please wait a moment. I will go in and report."
Trouble, Li Luansong thought to himself, let's do it. For the sake of your family being okay with Li Le, just wait.
The girl went in and could vaguely hear the voices, but there was no response. The girl who reported the report did not come out again. There was laughter in the room again, and there was a little baby reciting Tang poems.
Li Luansong listened carefully and found out that he was the son of Song Qingyue. That boy was now the eldest grandson of the Zhang family. He was raised just like Song Qingyue. He was used to flattering her, watching his grandmother happy, and reciting one song after another. From time to time, compliments from Wang Peilan and Gu came from the side, which was very lively.
Zelan whispered: "Madam, are they deliberately leaving you hanging?"
"That must be it." Li Luansong originally thought that he would turn around and go back if he didn't want to serve him anymore, but then he thought, he's already here, so he can't come in vain no matter what.
Thinking of this, regardless of what was going on inside, he just opened the curtain and entered the door. He punched Mr. Gu in front of her with a big sword, and without saluting, he opened his mouth and asked: "Why did you call me? If you don't tell me, I will leave."
Mrs. Gu was stunned, as were Song Qingyue and Wang Peilan. They didn't expect that she could barge in so directly.
"You unruly thing, who let you in?" Gu cursed, "Get out."
Li Luansong twisted his mouth, rolled away, turned around and left.
Song Qingyue and Wang Peilan quickly exchanged glances. They couldn't let her go. What would they do with the money if she left? So the two of them, one coaxed Mrs. Gu, and the other stopped Li Luansong with a smile.
"Mom, look, my sister-in-law is here, please calm down, we can discuss anything as a family."
"Yes, sister-in-law, you're already here, sit down quickly and don't hurt your kindness."
Gu thought of the business and said in a deep voice: "The silver used for the lotus banquet was agreed to be paid by you. They have already settled the accounts. You should go back and get the silver quickly. There are five hundred taels in total."
"Five hundred taels?" Li Luansong laughed angrily, turned around and said, "Why don't you go and grab it? There's no money."
Mrs. Gu glared at her: "Why don't you have money? Don't think I don't know. You dressed up like a monster at the banquet. It's simply unseemly. This is how you run the family. You provide for yourself and treat the whole family badly." ?”
Li Luansong sneered: "Are you an old fool? What I use is my own money. What does it have to do with your Zhang family? What kind of headmaster is not in charge of the house? How much salary do the men in your family have every month? How much money do you have? Don’t you know how much it will cost you to buy rouge, gouache, clothes, jewelry, and go back to your parents’ home every month? Don’t you know how embarrassed you are to ask me for money?”
"Shen Que." Mrs. Gu was angry and slapped the table: "Shut up. I leave this family to you, and you should be able to balance everything. If you don't have enough money, you can think of a way on your own. Stop talking nonsense and go back and get the money." , otherwise today..."
The old lady's hands were shaking with anger and she said: "I will take away your power to run the house today."
"Okay." Li Luansong said, "Zelan, give it to her."
Only then did everyone see Zelan holding a mahogany box in his arms, with hollow branches carved on it and a copper lock.
"I don't want to serve you anymore. Whoever likes to be in charge of the family will be in charge."
Zelan put the wooden box on the desk and opened it. There was a bunch of keys inside, as well as a pile of papers and account books. The master and the servant left without turning around.
Gu's angry voice came from the room behind her: "Shen Que, I will hand over the power of the family to the Song family today. Don't regret it."
Li Luansong ignored her, and then heard Song Qingyue say excitedly: "Thank you mother, don't worry, I will manage it better than her."
The moonlight is bright, and the courtyard is particularly quiet and elegant. What is incompatible with this moonlight is the roar of chickens and dogs in Qinghui Hall, coughs, curses, women's shouts, and children's cries... So lively.
