[Red House] Li Changan

Once the Qixi Festival is over, it will be the end of July in the blink of an eye, and the weather will become hotter and hotter. Every day, the sun can be seen hanging in the sky at only three o'clock, and it is even harder to stand under the sun after noon.

Tired in spring and sleepy in autumn, dormant in summer and dormant in winter, Daiyu, who has always been greedy for coolness, does not go out at this time, even if she can not go out, she nests in the yard every day to enjoy the coolness, and at most she considers things for the snow geese to get married.

The two families are close to each other. Although Xueyan and Pei Yuan are engaged, even if they don't care about it, in this place in the capital, there should be no less courtesy, so it is natural for Daiyu to keep an eye on Pei's family's preparations for marriage. .

You can't expect Pei Yuan to keep watching.

Normally Daiyu didn't have to go there in person, she would go there every now and then to see how the progress was, and then order the people in Pei's mansion to do the shopping.

It's not uncommon to return to leisure, and there are things to do in the past half month.

"Is everything ready?"

"I have counted them carefully. I have checked them one by one according to the list given by the girl. They are not bad. The girl will take a look and see if there is anything to add."

"kindness."

The wedding date was set on the tenth day of August. The day was good, and after getting married, the two could catch up with the first Mid-Autumn Festival when they were newlyweds, which made Pei Yuan compensate for the lack of family affection for many years.

This date was found out by Daiyu and Li Changan together, and it was decided after discussing with Xueyan and Pei Yuan, otherwise how would I dare to settle things like this.

"Zicuckoo is back?"

"Have you tidied up your clothes?" Zijuan couldn't help smiling when she heard Xueyan's voice, "They are all people who are going to move there, and their things are still thrown away. Look at you, you really haven't tidied up at all."

Hearing this, Xueyan pursed her lips and walked to Daiyu's side. Seeing that Daiyu was checking things, she didn't want to disturb her, so she just put down a cup of herbal tea in her hand.

This stuff quenches thirst and is delicious. Daiyu drank a lot in the past few days, even Li Changan couldn't stand it anymore, and told them to keep an eye on it on weekdays, at most three bowls a day.

"The things are indeed not bad, but when the time comes, you should be more careful. In two days, you and I will go again, and you will discuss the affairs of the wedding day with the nuns invited by the mansion over there, so that nothing will happen at that time." trouble."

"That--"

"what?"

"When will General Pei arrange it? You can't always let my uncle tell him what to do when we get married." Zijuan couldn't laugh or cry, and always felt that Li Changan's idea was not good.

However, there are many cases involved in Jia's mansion, and now the yamen is extremely busy, every time Li Chang'an and Pei Yuan arrive home, it is already dark, and it is already past dinner time.

If it weren't for the preparations in the kitchen, I wouldn't even be able to eat a hot meal.

"My husband knew it well. Moreover, it was so close. Brother Pei picked up the person when he arrived at an auspicious time that day, and rode around here on horseback. He would only enter the door when the time came. It's just that the officiant, if Marshal Ma doesn't come, marshal Ma'am must come."

If the Marshal's wife didn't come that day, the officiant would be in trouble.

No matter what the reason was, Marshal Ma's wife was the most suitable one.

"Anyway, when the day comes, it should be calculated carefully. Don't make any mistakes. Otherwise, Brother Pei will become a joke of the Dingyuan army."

Listening to Daiyu's careful explanation, Xueyan next to her was worried about this and that, and couldn't help getting nervous. She seemed to have never been nervous before.

Holding the handkerchief, Xueyan said after a while: "Girl, on the day of the wedding, is it true—"

"What's the matter? I thought you didn't seem to be afraid at all these days. You really aren't worried." Daiyu couldn't help laughing: "You can rest assured that it won't be difficult. Besides, it's nothing to worry about. .”

Marriage is just more etiquette, as long as there are no major problems and a little joke, it will just make the day of marriage more special.

Looking at Zijuan, Daiyu couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, I've never been married before, so what are you afraid of?"

"That girl's marriage is different from mine. Pei Yuan—" Xue Yan has changed her tune at Pei Yuan's request in the past few days. It's a bit weird to call Brother Pei, but in private, she directly calls him Pei Yuan.

This incident caused Pei Yuan to complain several times in front of Li Changan, why he is not the same as Li Changan.

Stretching out her hand to touch Xueyan's cheek, Daiyu whispered: "No matter what it is, we are so close, we will always take care of each other in the future, the same as now, but you should put your own affairs first. You don't need to be centered around me."

After staying by her side for so many years, Xueyan has already done a lot of things, and in the future, she should do more for herself and the people she likes.

Glancing at Zicuckoo beside him: "It will be the same for Zicuckoo in the future."

"Girl!" Zijuan was a little anxious, she could see Daiyu's eyes, but she knew that what she said was true, so she stomped her feet and didn't speak again.

The three of them were talking about getting married in the courtyard. Before the sun went down, they saw someone approaching. It was a servant girl from the house, probably called by Tang Bo.

Seeing Daiyu, he stepped forward and saluted, "Young Madam, someone wants to see you."

"have a guest?"

"Yes……"

Daiyu frowned, put down the things in her hands, stood up and looked at the other party: "Let's go there first, which family is it from, or is it someone from the yamen?"

Seeing that Daiyu was not panicked, the servant girl breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said, "It's from Jia's family, and they said they wanted to see the girl."

Hearing the word "Jia's family", Daiyu was slightly taken aback. It's not surprising that someone would come. After all, most of the men in Jia's mansion nowadays are degraded to Baiding, and the women naturally become Baiding as well. They filled up the state treasury, but under Li Chang'an's persecution, Jia's family admitted that the Lin family's family business was part of it.

The yamen has not yet decided whether this part should be returned to the Lin family, but it is probably impossible to get all of them back.

Xueyan and Zijuan were not so magnanimous. When they heard this, they only thought of the words "ghosts do not disperse". They were especially puzzled. They all knew that Li Changan had brought people to ransack the house, so how dare they come here to intercede?

No matter how you think about it, you don't think it should be.

When she arrived at the front hall, Daiyu saw Tang Bo standing there in embarrassment, knowing that Li Changan might have something to say, she nodded to him and walked in.

"Sister Bao, long time no see, you—"

Daiyu's words came to her lips, but she swallowed them back.

Staring blankly at Xue Baochai who had turned around, Daiyu's eyes flashed with shock, and she felt surprised, but in the end, there was only sigh and helplessness left.

It's because I feel helpless that my heart has softened for a moment.

"Zijuan." Zijuan called softly, and after seeing Xue Baochai, Zijuan instantly understood Daiyu's meaning and immediately nodded and went out.

With a soft sigh, Daiyu stepped forward and helped Xue Baochai who was standing to sit down, and asked Xueyan to bring a cushion.

"You're heavy, don't stand up."
