[Red House] Li Changan

In the small kitchen, bursts of fragrance wafted out, arousing people's appetite.

Zijuan and Snow Goose, who were supposed to be waiting in the room, huddled in front of the stove, talking in low voices, keeping an eye on the things that were still simmering on the fire from time to time.

Half an hour ago, Daiyu and Li Changan came back from the ancestral hall, and it didn't look like they had an argument, Zijuan was curious, and before she could ask Xueyan something, she ordered the two of them to cook something to eat.

"You really don't know?"

"How did I know that the girl and uncle are inside, and I'm staring at old man Wang outside, and when they come out, they'll be reconciled."

Xueyan looked innocent, if she knew this, could she not tell Zijuan?

Zicuckoo couldn't help sighing, and turned her head to look outside.

That girl Yingying is still here, and the outside world has already spread the word, especially that Xiang Xing, who doesn't know what nasty things she will say behind her back.

"The girl is so smart, she won't let anyone bully her. If she is really angry, how can you see my uncle doing well?" Seeing Zijuan's worried face, Xueyan couldn't help persuading: "I see the girl and uncle It is a heart, a rope, and no one can try to get in the way."

"You know that again."

"Do you think the girl's temper can be tolerated? In the past——"

Once upon a time in the Grand View Garden, the temper made all the servants talk behind their backs. It was nothing more than Daiyu's pampering, who spoke harshly and was not liked by others.

If you don't like anyone, you won't save face in front of anyone.

"Cough, things seem to be ready soon, take a look." Zijuan interrupted Xueyan, lest she say something that was not shocking and endless.

Xueyan curled her lips, but got up obediently to look at the soup stewed on the stove.

Refreshing and delicious chicken soup with bone-deficient chicken, wolfberry, dates, and Codonopsis pilosula in it. Drinking a bowl in this weather will make you feel warm.

"It's almost done, take it in now?"

"En." Zijuan also stood up, took the bowl and spoon from the side, glanced out, and was stunned.

On an October day, the wind blowing at night was piercingly cold, and I couldn't stand the cold even in the room if I wore less clothes, let alone standing in the yard.

Why is Yingying standing outside the kitchen by herself and not coming in, this——

Zijuan hurriedly put down her things, turned around and walked out, frowned and stared at the person in front of her: "Why are you here? Didn't I already arrange a place for you, you—"

"I haven't eaten all day."

Yingying lowered her head and stared at her toes, not daring to raise her eyes. After she finished speaking, she explained, "I just want to have a look, the kitchen...don't worry about me. I'll take a steamed bun when you leave."

Xueyan, who had just packed her things, just heard this, turned her head to look at the poor Yingying at the door, and couldn't help walking to Zijuan and whispering: "What should I do?"

"Go and deliver food to the girl first, I'll be here." Zijuan shook her head: "Don't tell the girls about this."

"understood."

Zijuan is smart and has seen all kinds of women in the Grand View Garden. What kind of women are they?

She really underestimated this Yingying's heart, she thought that girls from small families were simple and kind, no matter how bad they were, they were just greedy for petty gains, and they would not use their minds elsewhere.

Now, he was almost deceived by this well-behaved appearance.

"Come in, there's still some food, you fill your stomach first, and it's not a big deal to solve your family's affairs." Zijuan said while putting the food on the table: "Fill your stomach first .”

"Thank you, girl, I——I didn't intend to ruin the reputation of the Second Young Master. I was really forced to do this."

"We don't have to ask about the affairs of the masters. If the girl wants to know something, she still wants to complain about her grievances. Let's talk to my uncle and the others tomorrow."

After Zijuan finished speaking, she walked out. When she reached the door, she couldn't help but look back at Yingying who was sitting there, sighed and shook her head.

A good girl, why bother to spoil herself and ruin her reputation just for this slight chance that it might come true.

Walking into the yard, I happened to see the snow goose coming out. The two of them met their eyes. Zijuan quickly walked up a few steps and asked in a low voice, "How is it?"

"It looks good." Xueyan smiled, and then remembered Yingying just now, her smile faded a little: "How is she?"

"Let her eat something, this matter, my uncle and the girl should deal with it tomorrow."

The two looked at each other, feeling uncertain.

If this continues, when will it be the end.

"Really go to the Yamen tomorrow?"

"It's best to leave it to the yamen to deal with it. Since she said she has a grievance to sue, it's still a matter of buying and selling women. This is a big deal. Yangzhou city has issued a ban on the sale of people a few years ago. As a magistrate, I have nothing to do. I have an official position, but I have no military position, so it’s never my turn to take care of this case.”

case?

Daiyu took a sip of the soup, looked up at Li Changan, and couldn't help laughing.

It was originally a romantic affair, but Li Changan turned it into a case of violating the ban. I don't know what Yingying will do when she knows Li Changan's thoughts.

Seeing Daiyu smile, Li Changan wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and continued: "Shouldn't pass by us, father will also accept this case, since the trouble has come to us, why don't we let us come forward , personally send her to the court, to redress her grievances.”

Hearing that Daiyu lowered her eyes and held the bowl slowly drinking the soup, she felt that Li Changan was too childish.

but--

She didn't feel sorry for Yingying, since she had the guts to come and make trouble, no wonder Li Changan sent her to the court to make their family confront each other.

"Master."

"Full?" Li Changan turned to look at Daiyu, responded, and directly took her bowl: "Did sister-in-law go to mother's place these two days?"

Seeing that Li Changan drank the remaining half bowl of soup, Daiyu's ears felt slightly hot: "No, I have been with Huaichen all this time."

When mentioning this matter, Daiyu suddenly remembered that Li Xijing was killed in Jinshui, and three arrest warrants were issued in a row, but so far no clues have been found, and the murderer seems to have evaporated from the world.

Did you really find nothing?

"Brother's case, now—"

"The Jinshui county government is investigating, but if those people can really find out, my brother will not die in the wilderness." Li Changan's eyes instantly became sharp.

Daiyu was startled, put her hand on the back of Li Changan's hand, and said seriously: "I believe in you, you will definitely get justice for elder brother."

Jinshui belongs to Yangzhou, and Li Chong should have intervened in this matter, but after Li Xijing's accident, Li Chong never seemed to mention this matter.

Or is Li Chong also secretly investigating?

There are many officials in Yangzhou, going down from layer to layer, there are hundreds of people at least. In Jinshui alone, there are dozens of people who eat official food in the yamen. It is not easy to find out.

This kind of thing is not left clean.

Just thinking about this matter, before he could figure out a clue, Li Changan reached out to Daiyu, squeezed her face, and forced her to face him.

"Come back from Yamen tomorrow, let's go see sister-in-law together."

"See sister-in-law?"

"I'm worried..." Li Changan still couldn't worry about Ning Shi. After all, once Li Xijing left, Ning Shi and Li Huaichen would have nothing to rely on. Even if the Li family was still there, it would be different.

Daiyu patted Li Changan's hand away with a smile, and couldn't help saying angrily: "Go, go, what are you always pinching my face for?"

"That way you can keep your eyes on me."

"You are really not reserved at all."

Standing up and walking to the door, Daiyu opened the door, her expression changed, and she couldn't help shouting to Zijuan's room: "Zicuckoo, Snow Goose."

Yingying, who was standing in the yard, saw Daiyu, without saying a word, she threw herself in front of Daiyu and knelt down, tugging at the hem of her skirt and crying.

Hearing the sound, Li Changan followed, and was about to speak, when seeing this scene, impatience flashed across his face, but he swallowed the words back.

What a lonely and helpless weak woman, she is weak and thoughtful.

Zijuan and Xueyan came out of the room in a hurry, let the wind blow, shrunk their necks, rubbed their hands and walked up to Daiyu, before they could speak, they couldn't help but glance at Yingying kneeling there.

Which one is this?Could it be that kneeling is addictive.

"Girl, I didn't intend to destroy the relationship between your husband and wife. It's really——I came up with such a way out of desperation. I don't want to be sold to a brothel, so you accept me and let me be in—"

"impossible."

Without waiting for Daiyu to finish speaking, Li Changan walked up to Daiyu and glanced at Yingying: "The Li family can't keep you, so giving you a dozen or twenty taels of silver to make a living is already showing mercy."

"Young master——" Yingying raised her head, staring at him pitifully: "Don't you really ignore me, young master?"

It's really interesting, at this point, I still don't forget to drag him into the water.

Li Changan yawned and put his arms around Daiyu: "Can you see it?"

Yingying nodded in a daze.

Seeing this, Li Changan smiled with satisfaction, raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm already married, and I have never thought of taking a concubine. It's just a newlywed, like glue, you... Since you can see it, then what about my wife's appearance and behavior? You should also understand."

"I don't understand."

"Bah! You still don't understand, but I understand!" Xueyan was furious, and said directly: "My girl has a good temper, good temper, good looks, and a lot of talent. Can my uncle still like you after marrying her? You Stopping in front of the carriage, since you have already had the opportunity to redress your grievances, you don't have to be pitiful in front of us, because Zijuan and the girl don't care about you because you are young, you want to—"

If I want to put it in the Grand View Garden, I don't know how many times I have been taught a lesson.

I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, and I have no self-knowledge.

Entering the mansion with a cheeky face and not knowing how to restrain himself, if he wants to win the sympathy of the master by being pitiful, it depends on how much he is, and he really thinks that if he enters this door, he will become a golden phoenix.

"Snow goose." Daiyu saw that Xueyan was so angry that she stood up for her, and the more she spoke, the more angry she was, she winked at Zijuan and asked her to hold Xueyan back.

Let's go on like this, okay?

Turning her head to look at Yingying who was kneeling on the ground, speechless, Daiyu sighed softly, thought for a while and said, "I pity you for your poor life, but I'm not pampering you."

Daiyu admitted that she was looking for the better of people's hearts.

How bad can a fourteen-year-old girl be?Kneeling there pitifully in rags, she felt pity.

Thinking about it, bringing it back can be regarded as accumulating merit.

Who would have thought that she was mistaken, and she would not accept her favor.

"You put so much effort into thinking about getting into the Li family, if you put your thoughts elsewhere, you wouldn't end up in such a situation."

Daiyu turned around and walked towards the room. When she reached the door, she stopped and said, "Tomorrow the yamen will uphold justice for you. Afterwards, you can do it yourself."
