"Oh?"

Liu Li flipped through it casually, and although in her eyes, the portraits drawn by ancient painters were all similar, but by virtue of their clothing, temperament, and some facial features, she recognized many familiar faces.

For example, the companion of the sixth prince, the son of so-and-so who is also on duty at Si Tiantai, the only son of a certain lord of the official department...

Walking around a lot, naturally I have seen or heard of it before.

"Aniang, are you looking for a husband for me?"

Liu Li really didn't expect this, she was fifteen or sixteen years old with this body, which was indeed an age for marriage in ancient times, but she didn't think about it at all.

"Exactly." Baoan said with a smile, "See if you like it? It doesn't matter if you don't, as long as you look pleasing to the eye, A Niang can invite someone out for you to enjoy flowers and have a cup of tea. If you come and go, you will be familiar with it." gone."

Liu Li felt a little helpless, and pushed the thick scroll away from his face: "...Aunt, I don't like these people very much, forget it."

"Why?" Baoan was puzzled, "What's wrong with these young masters? It's not that Aniang is nagging you, you are not too young, and it's time to open up. I think this young master from Mr. Qian's family is not bad, and he is in the middle of this year. Scholars..."

"No. I've seen this person before. He's very pedantic, and he'll always say, 'Zhihu Zheye'."

This Mr. Qian was considered a good-looking talent, he could be a Jinshi at a young age, and his future was limitless, but Liu Li vetoed it.

"Then the eldest son of Mr. Zheng's family is not bad..."

"No, she's several years older than me, so she definitely won't be able to talk with her."

After talking back and forth for a few rounds, Bao An finally understood that Liu Li was trying to find fault with these people, and simply asked: "Honestly speaking, is there someone you like in the palace? Which prince, or Which Master Si Tiantai?"

Only the Sixth Prince was the right age in the palace, but he already had a marriage contract; and Si Tiantai's dignified and dignified people were all doctors who were one or two rounds older than Liu Li. No matter how you looked at it, it was not suitable!

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

I don't know where this question touched Liu Li's indignation, she subconsciously increased her volume, and refuted Bao'an, but mixed with a trace of guilt: "... I don't want to please anyone."

Bao An pursed his lips and didn't speak for a while, but he didn't force Liu Li any more, but silently asked someone to take all these scrolls away.

Liu Li originally thought that this was the end of the matter, but Bao'an asked someone to bring another stack of scrolls the next day, which was even thicker and more than yesterday's.

"Auntie." She had a headache, and acted softly to Baoan, "I've said it all, I'm really not interested in these young masters, so don't torture me."

"Who said this is a young master?" Baoan took a sip of tea, and ordered the maid to unfold the scrolls one by one, and seventeen or eight stood in a row, which was truly spectacular.

"Aniang is not the kind of old-fashioned person, take a look."

There are more than a dozen portraits of young girls in front of you, some with charming eyes, some fresh and refined, some clever and dusty, or some awe-inspiring.

"Nowadays there are many marriages between girls' families. If you are not interested in the young masters, it is also very good to meet these young ladies."

Liu Li: ...

A Niang, my grandmother won't help me, so I will obey you.

Bao'an has always been very pampering to her, but he didn't go along with her in this matter.Liu Li was soft and stubborn, and she finally took a step back, but she still asked Liu Li to meet at least one young master or young lady before giving up.

Liu Li can see him if he wants, and when he's done with the matter, he said, "Okay, then Auntie, please choose someone with a gentler personality for me."

She figured that after seeing her, she would explain her thoughts to others, and just break up with each other without making too much trouble.

"According to your."

Bao'an thought that if he was more gentle, he would still choose a girl's family, "This is the second lady of Mr. Wu's family in the Ministry of Officials. She is dignified and virtuous, with a good reputation and excellent knowledge."

Ministry of officials?The first thing Liu Li thought of was Ning Zisheng. Speaking of which, His Highness Xiao Jiu is now working in the Ministry of Officials.

...Forget it, what does this have to do with Ning Zisheng.

With Liu Li's consent, Bao An quickly sent a message to Mrs. Wu, and Second Miss Wu also quickly accepted, and made an appointment to listen to books, have some snacks, and then go shopping in the market together in a teahouse.

In modern times, it means shopping, eating, watching movies, and going on dates.

This was exactly what Liu Li wanted, and he happened to go to the market to see if there was anything he could buy for Ning Zisheng.

In the largest teahouse in Xijing City, there was a turmoil of people, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going.

All kinds of noise, because there are layers of wooden boards and stairs to block it, the guests on the second floor don't hear it so noisy, but Liu Li still captures these movements with relish.

But after a while, Second Miss Wu came, stopped at the door of the small room, and opened the curtain.

"Meet the princess."

"Miss Wu, sit down quickly."

To show her friendliness, Liu Li took the initiative to pour her a cup of tea, which flattered Second Miss Wu: "Thank you Princess."

This is outside, but not in the palace, Liu Li felt that there was no need to deal with those formalities: "You're welcome, just call me by name."

"Then..." Second Miss Wu's voice was thin and soft, a little cramped, she sat in front of Liu Li, "You can just call me by my name."

Ms. Wu's name is Wu Yuanyuan. As her name suggests, she has a round, fleshy face and a slightly plump figure.

In this era, although "plump beauty" has been around for a long time, no one really regards plumpness as beauty. Girls are all sharpening their heads and dieting to lose weight, for fear that they will gain a catty and a half.

Wu Yuanyuan is quite different from those thin beauties in the palace, she smiles round and smooth, very cute.

The two had just exchanged a few words, the clear voice of the storyteller suddenly sounded outside, and Xingmu slapped him, and spoke eloquently.

"The last book said that in the early morning of the rural examination day, the girl was locked in the house by her jealous classmates. If she can't get out in time, she will miss this rare opportunity that comes once every three years."

"There is still a stick of incense at most, she has to go, but the doors and windows are blocked, no matter how hard I try, it will not help..."

Liu Li has been to the teahouse several times, but he has never heard of this story. He was so absorbed that he suddenly caught a glimpse of Wu Yuanyuan's expression and asked softly, "Miss Yuanyuan has heard this story?"

Wu Yuanyuan nodded embarrassedly: "I've heard it five or six times, and I remember it by heart."

The storyteller spoke in cadence, but the speed of speech was too slow. Liu Li was eager to know the following plot, so he asked Wu Yuanyuan to tell him.

"Later, another girl showed up in time, and used her own carriage to carry the girl, without delaying the township examination, and later..."

Eating, drinking, talking and laughing like this, the whole morning passed quietly.

Liu Li found that Wu Yuanyuan and her got along quite well, almost hit it off at first sight.

It happened that Wu Yuanyuan grew up in Xijing City since he was a child, and he knew all kinds of shops in the city very well. As soon as Liu Lifu said that he wanted to buy some novelty things, Wu Yuanyuan thought of a good place to go.

——The clay figurine shop in the south of the city.

Kneaded with clay, baked in a special way, and then painted carefully, it becomes a living doll that can be preserved for a long time.

The distance is not too far, and the two will arrive after walking for a while.

Sitting in the shop, Liu Li racked his brains to describe Ning Zisheng's features to the boss: "With raised eyes and a pointed chin, she is a great beauty..."

The boss's hands are extremely dexterous, while Liu Li said, he squeezed them, and then modified them according to Liu Li's opinions. Soon, a reduced version of Ning Zisheng was almost formed.

Wu Yuanyuan couldn't help but be a little curious, who deserves the princess's trouble, so she quietly asked: "Who is this? I look familiar."

She had never been in the palace, so naturally she never knew Ning Zisheng, Liu Li heard that she said she looked familiar, and wondered: "Have you seen her?"

Wu Yuanyuan looked at it for a while, then shook his head hesitantly: "I don't think so, I just feel familiar."

"Perhaps I have seen someone with a similar appearance. This is Your Highness the Ninth Prince." Liu Li leaned closer to Wu Yuanyuan's ear, "Her birthday is coming soon, and this is a gift."

Hearing these words, Wu Yuanyuan's eyes lit up: "Oh, no wonder."

"Ok?"

The boss had already burned the clay figurines, so he needed to wait a while, so he brought some tea for the two of them and asked them to wait a while.

Wu Yuanyuan sipped her tea and said with a smile: "My father often talked about that at home, and praised her for being smart and quick in handling things. She is a rare talent."

Because it is outside, it is not easy to directly mention the name of "His Royal Highness", so it is appropriate to use "that one".

Hearing someone praise Ning Zisheng, Liu Li was more proud than hearing the praise himself: "Of course, she is very powerful."

After chatting for a few more words, Wu Yuanyuan suddenly said, "I don't know if that one has a marriage contract?"

"No, why do you ask this?"

"To tell you the truth." She was a little embarrassed, "my brother hasn't married a wife yet, my father is full of praise for that one, and it seems that he intends to be a matchmaker for my brother."

Liu Li's hand holding the teacup paused.

"what?"

Seeing that her expression was wrong, Wu Yuanyuan knew that the princess in front of her had a very close personal relationship with His Highness the Ninth Prince, so she was afraid that what she said would offend her, so she hurriedly said, "I am talking nonsense, please don't mind it."

"No, no, no." Liu Li frowned, "Tell me in detail what's going on."

Wu Yuanyuan closed her mouth cautiously: "I made a slip of the tongue for a while, so just pretend you haven't heard of it."

Liu Li wanted to ask again, but she refused to say anything. At this time, the clay figurine was just released, and the boss also skilled in sex.

The little clay figurine lying in the brocade box has red lips and white teeth, and a smile on his face. It looks like Ning Zisheng himself.

Liu Li paid the silver and took the box, but he was not in a good mood.

When she left the shop with Wu Yuanyuan, a layer of gloom shrouded her brows, and she wanted to ask the people around her several times, but she lost the courage.

That's right, Ning Zisheng is only a few months younger than her, and since Liu Li is old enough for Baoan to pay attention to her marriage, so is Ning Zisheng.

What is she struggling with?

The two walked to the intersection of the street market, and they said they would go shopping for a while, but Liu Li lost all interest, and just wanted to say sorry to Wu Yuanyuan, but she looked up, with some hopeless expectations:

"After that, can we come out together again?"

Liu Li hesitated and didn't answer.

Wu Yuanyuan was extremely transparent, so she understood. Although she was smiling, Yuanyuan's eyes were full of disappointment:

"I can see that the princess has someone in mind."
