Chapter 228 Jia Zhu Takes a Concubine Again

And because of Liu Yun's growing environment and bright appearance, he was different from Su Yun when he trained Liu Yun.Suyun's style is Xiaojiabiyu, while Liuyun is charming, romantic and lively.

In the past two years that Li Wan and Jia Zhu have been together, he has already seen that compared to a lady like himself, Jia Zhu's taste is actually very vulgar, otherwise he would not have such deep affection for a Yunluo, and he still misses it so much until now. .

It wasn't that Li Wan was virtuous and rushed to give her husband a woman, but she felt that if she didn't arrange Liuyun to enter the mansion, Jia Zhu might get back a gaudy woman one day to put her beside her as an eyesore.

Hearing Liu Yun's words, Mother Li felt more at ease, said good boy repeatedly, and rewarded a small box of gold and silver, head jewelry and six bolts of cloth as a dowry.

Here, Suyun saw that the old lady was ready, so she wanted to go back to the mansion to answer Li Wan's words. Li's mother said: "Suyun, go back and tell your miss that Master Tang is coming to take the martial arts exam this year, and he has passed the child's test. We are going to take part in the martial arts test. Our family is a civil servant, and we don’t have any acquaintances among the military generals. I asked Gong Cai to pay attention to her cousin, or if there is a daughter-in-law of a military officer’s family who is good to get along with, tell her to remember to mention it. Mention my cousin."

The young master that Li's mother mentioned was a side branch of Li's family. He was of the same generation as Li Wan. His name was Li Zong, and his character was Shaoyou.In terms of relatives, Li Shaoyou and Li Wan's family is not very close, but they can't write a single word Li. This Li Shaoyou is a rare young talent, and his family lives in the suburbs of Beijing. He often visits the residence as a guest, and this time he came to Beijing to take the martial arts exam, so naturally he stayed at Li Wan's natal family.

Suyun nodded yes, and returned to Li Wan.

After Li Wan found out, she was very unhappy. If this younger brother can have a great future, it would be a blessing for her Li family. So she thought about it, wrote letters to Shui Yan, Xue Baochai and Wang Xifeng, and posted a post to invite them to come to the house A narrative.

That night, she told Jia Zhu about Liu Yun.

"How does the uncle feel today? After taking the medicine from Brother Hong, I can see that the uncle slept soundly."

Jia Zhu nodded and said, "The medicine that Hong'er brought is really useful, please thank Auntie for me tomorrow."

Li Wan nodded: "Yes, my daughter-in-law made it down. Sir, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you."

Jia Zhu's sleep has improved significantly in the past few days. Although she is still nervous and depressed, she can lean on the bed and read a book, eat normally and get out of bed. Her body has improved a lot, so she is in a good mood.

Then he laughed and said: "You and I, husband and wife, if you talk about whether to discuss or not, if you have anything to do, just tell me."

Li Wan said: "My uncle's illness is not very important after all, but the way my son-in-law looks like makes me worry and uneasy. I just think it's because we didn't take good care of him. Come to think of it, he has to prepare for the imperial examination. It's been so hard, and the spirit is unavoidably nervous, but beside me there are two children, Lan'er and Guan'er, who have to take care of me. Give me another concubine?"

When Li Wan talked about this, seeing Jia Zhu suddenly raised his head, his eyes lit up, and his face couldn't hide his joy.But he still asked: "I don't know which girl the palace judge chose?"

Li Wan said: "I don't know the girl from other people's families. She is still the former maid of my parents' family, named Liuyun. She and Suyun have served me since childhood. They know how to feel cold and hot. They are very caring and good-looking. .Do you agree?"

When Jia Zhu heard that this time she had been picked from Li Wan's natal family again, she felt very unhappy.I just think that a good woman who came out of Li's family is so boring, her interest dropped sharply in an instant, but she didn't say anything to disagree, just said: "It's all up to you."

Li Wan didn't say anything and went back to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang early the next morning.What did the two elders say?It was too late for them to be happy that Li Wan could be so virtuous, so they immediately nodded in agreement.

Li Wan informed Li's mansion again, picked the nearest auspicious day, and took Liuyun to the mansion in a small sedan chair.

Jia Zhu didn't have any expectations for the woman from Li Wan's natal family, but when he saw Liu Yun, he felt that his heart was about to stop beating. Not to mention that this woman was pretty, she was still the type he liked.

The whole night was lingering, and Jia Zhu didn't leave Liuyun's courtyard until the sun was three poles.Since then, Jia Zhu has not been sick from time to time, as long as Liu Yun is with him, he is content, whether it is reading or eating, he always has a smile on his face, and he seems to be in an unusually good mood.

But at the same time, Li Wan fondled the teacup more and more.On this day Li Wan was lost in thought again on the imperial concubine's couch. Suyun sighed and came to Li Wan, "Grandma, tomorrow is the day for the banquet with Princess He'an, Miss Bao and Miss Feng. The opera wine is also according to grandma's orders, what else does grandma want to buy now?"

Only then did Li Wan regain his senses, put down the teacup in his hand, and said: "There is no need to prepare anything else. We all get together often, and everyone doesn't care about these things. No matter how coincidental you are, you can catch Bao girl Go with Miss Lin? Let me tell you, this is enough, just prepare more seasonal vegetables and fruits, and the Siamese tribute tea. Although it is not very pleasant for everyone to drink, it is the best for cooling down the heat. You might as well prepare some more. By the way, Miss Lin likes it, so remember to pack some more and send some to her too."

Suyun wrote them down one by one, and then helped Li Wan to rest early before returning to the yard by herself.

Li Wan went to invite Ann to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang early. When Jia Mu heard that the chief of An County was coming, she let Li Wan and Wu Linzhu go and said, "Go and accompany the guests well, and I will accompany you here." I have a lot of people, so I can't neglect the distinguished guests."

Li Wan and Wu Linzhu came out to thank them.Wu Linzhu knew the purpose of Li Wan's banquet, so he went home and told about it, and then said: "Sister-in-law, I told my father when I went home the other day, and the generals who often come and go from my uncle's side also More, just say that if sister-in-law's cousin can be admitted to Wu Juren this time, you might as well ask him to come to the house to get together, after all, we are also relatives, and there is no harm in walking around frequently."

What Wu Linzhu said meant that Li Shaoyou might meet a nobleman from Xianglan Banner. If he could really be admitted to Wujuren, it would be very helpful for his future career.

Li Wan grabbed Wu Linzhu's hand: "Sister and sister, I... I just said it casually, but you really took it seriously, how can I be ashamed?"

But Wu Linzhu smiled and said, "What's the matter? Although we are sisters-in-law next door, we are real relatives. The only things I can do for my sister-in-law are such small things."

Li Wan was moved, but he didn't have time to say anything, the carriages of the distinguished guests had already arrived, and the two sisters-in-law had no choice but to go to greet the guests first.
