Qingwen quickly helped Qianxue to sit on the little chair beside her, stuffed a sewing basket into her arms, and winked at Sheyue.Musk Moon froze for a moment, and hurriedly cleaned up the expression on her face.All three held their breaths and listened quietly to the movement in the yard.

Only the little girl outside replied: "I don't know either, my sisters asked me to clean up this broken pot."

"Has anyone been here?" Xi Ren, who was following Jia Baoyu, asked the little girl.

The little girl murmured: "Grandma Li just left for a while."

The next moment, Jia Baoyu opened the curtain and walked in angrily. Seeing Qingwen and the three of them looking up at him in unison, the expression on his face froze, and after a while he asked, "The old lady is here again?" trouble?"

Qianxue's expression was a little unnatural, and she put her injured hand behind her back.Qingwen stood up and changed the topic: "Where did Second Master Bao go? Why does he smell like alcohol?"

Xiren stepped forward and said with a half-smile, "I just drank some wine at Miss Bao's place. Qingwen, go and make a cup of maple dew tea."

Qingwen's complexion changed and she said with a concealed smile: "I can't eat tea when I'm drunk, so I'll ask the little maid to make hangover soup."

Jia Baoyu suddenly looked at Qianxue, his eyes were like cold stars: "Is it because I can't eat tea, or there is no more tea. What kind of grandma is she, and you are all helping her."

Qianxue was so frightened that she fell to her knees with a plop, and the sewing basket in her arms fell to the ground, and the needle and thread rolled all over the floor. Her face seemed to be covered with a layer of astonishing white, and her lips trembled several times without opening.

Seeing her like this, Jia Baoyu became more and more angry, his eyes were red, and he kicked her. "Ouch!" Qianxue cried out in pain, and lay on the ground clutching her chest.Both Qingwen and Sheyue were inexplicably terrified, and Sheyue was so frightened that she almost couldn't stand up.After all, Qingwen was relatively calm, and went to help Qianxue get up, but Qianxue still knelt on the ground to plead guilty, clutching her chest.

She was panting like a broken bellows: "Second Master Bao calm down, I did something wrong. It's all my fault. Don't get angry and take care of yourself."

Xiren saw that there was a big commotion, and he didn't dare to watch the show any more, so he immediately stopped Jia Baoyu and prevented him from approaching Qianxue.

Jia Baoyu is only 12 years old at this time, and he doesn't have much strength, but with the help of alcohol, he used a lot of strength in this kick.Qingwen is really worried, and it is inconvenient to use the healing technique in front of everyone, so she can only wait for an opportunity in private.Sheyue was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and trembled, seeing that she was not going to do anything, Qingwen had no choice but to block Qianxue behind her.

It is said in the book that Jia Baoyu is the first-class person who sympathizes with women. This will see him playing the role of master, but Qingwen finds him more and more detestable.Qingwen is a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, so she immediately said: "Second Master Bao is so majestic. With this ability, Grandma Li will trample all the maids in this yard under her feet. If you drive her out , I admire you. Now that you are shouting at the maids in the yard, you are not afraid of making people laugh."

Xiren gouged out Qingwen's eyes: "Say a few words less. The second master is drunk now, what do you care about with him?" While talking, she patted Jia Baoyu's chest and waited for him to sit down and drink tea.

Jia Baoyu was drunk and dizzy, and felt that everything in front of him was not going well. Qingwen's sarcastic smile pierced into his fragile nerves like a needle, and he waved away the attacking hand irritably, and there was another "bang dang" , The teacup was smashed to pieces, but fortunately the tea was not hot, Xiren jumped a step, narrowly dodging it, and his expression became extremely bad.

"Everyone kicked out, all kicked out, everyone is clean." Jia Baoyu yelled recklessly.Seeing that he was going crazy, Qingwen stopped defending him.Xiren turned back and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and help."

Sweating all over, they put Jia Baoyu in the inner room and lay down.

Xiren rubbed his veil and wiped the corners of his eyes: "What's wrong, it's like this."

No one answered her question.

"Sister Xiren, you guard Second Master Bao, and Sheyue and I will take Sister Qianxue back to the house first."

Xiren nodded slightly, then turned to look at Jia Baoyu who was lying on the bed, her eyeballs did not blink for a moment, for fear that if she blinked, something would happen to her Jia Baoyu.

Only now did Musk Moon come back to her senses, curled the corner of her mouth in disdain, and turned her head away from Xi Ren's appearance.When Qingwen and Sheyue came out, they saw that Qianxue was still kneeling on the ground, but the expression on her face was still in a trance. Qingwen looked at her several times worriedly, and Sheyue and Sheyue half supported and half dragged Qianxue out of the room. The principal room.

Pomegranate's father discussed with his son all night, and the next day Li Wang went to pick up Pomegranate and went home.After a while, Li Gui also came to the door with his father Li Su, carrying some pastries and candies, but Li Nanny was nowhere to be seen.

Both Li Wang and his wife breathed a sigh of relief, luckily the old godmother didn't come.The two looked at each other, with a bit of helplessness on their faces. Both the father-in-law and uncle are reasonable people, how could they have such a mother-in-law!

Li Xi's complexion was not very good-looking, like the gloomy sky outside the courtyard, without a trace of a smile, just smoking a pipe.Li Su, who was sitting across from him, was a little embarrassed. He smiled unnaturally and said, "I'm sorry, brother. My mother-in-law has no way to talk. It's really a pity that I was made a fuss by those idlers. Living."

The wrinkles on Li Xi's forehead got deeper and deeper, like stubborn moats. He didn't say a word about Li Su's explanation.Li Wang's family behind him wanted to speak, but was stopped by her husband.

Li Xi knocked the pipe against the corner of the table a few times, the pomegranate in the back room was shocked by the movement, the handkerchief on her hand had already been rubbed badly by her, but her heart was still fluttering, and there was nowhere to go.The family members let her stay in the back room and did not allow her to come out.Knowing that Nanny Li came to the house yesterday and made a big fuss, she regretted and was angry at the same time.She blamed herself for not being cautious in doing things, but causing her family to be looked down upon by others, but it will not help if she regrets so much that her intestines are green.She didn't know whether to hate those wretched women, or blame herself for being too reckless.

Li Xi finally put down the cigarette stick in his hand, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Seeing that my daughter is about to marry, what do you think of this marriage?"

Li Su hurriedly licked his face and smiled flatteringly: "What else can we do? Of course it's the same as before. We've already discussed it. Once the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, we will arrange the marriage for the two children. I know you don't want to bear the children, don't worry , Pomegranate went to my house, our husband and wife must regard her as our own daughter."

Li Wang's family couldn't help yelling: "Yesterday, my mother-in-law was very prestigious. Father-in-law, don't say that you are your own daughter. I'm afraid my pomegranate won't be able to be such a high hat!"

Li Su's face turned pale and white: "Look at what you said..."

"There are no rules, you are allowed to interrupt when the elders speak!" Li Xi shouted sharply.Li Wang's family could hear that there was no intention to stop him in his tone, so she smiled triumphantly.

"Uncle, can you listen to what the boy has to say?" Li Gui, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke out without haste.

Li Xi raised his forehead, opened his somewhat hazy eyes, stared at his young and weathered face, did not get angry with him, and said coldly: "You tell me."

Li Gui stood up, cupped his hands, and said in a gentle voice: "No one can stand without faith. Now that this marriage is settled, neither the boy nor the boy's parents will break the contract easily. My mother loves her deeply, and the root cause of what happened yesterday is always my mother." Today, my father and I came here to make amends. Whatever you want to blame, I will willingly accept it. It is my fault as a son of man who did not warn the elders in time. As for this marriage, please uncle according to the original Promised to marry Pomegranate to my family." After speaking, he bowed deeply and bowed to Li Xi.

Li Wang, Shiliu's older brother, had an appreciative expression on his face. Although Li Xi didn't speak, he asked Li Wang to help Li Gui up.

Li Wang held Li Gui's arm and said with a smile, "Both our surnames are Li, and our ancestors are from the same village. Why should we be so polite?" He turned to his wife and said, "Go and make tea. Don't wink, The guests have been here for so long, and they still don’t serve tea.”

After speaking, he said his disrespect to Li Su and his son again.The tense atmosphere in the hall immediately relaxed.

Li Wang's family curled their lips inwardly. After all, they left the lobby nimbly and came back with a tea tray.

The pomegranate in the back room couldn't sit still, the more she thought about it, the more she hated it, she was angry and annoyed, angry that her father and elder brother turned against each other within a few words, and angry that Li Gui was so smooth-tongued and used to fooling people.Without even thinking about it, she opened the thick curtain between the inner room and the lobby, and appeared in front of everyone.

She stared at Li Gui's face with a half-smile, "With a few words, you are trying to change the story of what happened yesterday," she spat, "It's because you think so beautifully, or you should treat me like a pomegranate." Look too low."

Li Xi was furious and scolded: "What are you doing, go in quickly."

Li Wang's family hurriedly pulled the pomegranate, trying to push her into the room.Pomegranate fluttered a few times, refused to go in, and shouted loudly: "Aren't you a filial son, talk! Are you looking down on me? Did you also listen to the rumors and think that I, Pomegranate, have no one to marry?" ? Let me tell you..." Li Wang's family was afraid that the sister-in-law would say something shocking, so she quickly covered her mouth in fright.After all, Li Wang's family was used to the work, so they insisted on pressing the pomegranate back to the back room.

Pomegranate was being dragged all the way, but she didn't forget to turn her head and give Li Gui a vicious look.

Seeing this, Li Gui sighed, and said to Li Xi: "Uncle, I have a request, can you let Shiliu and I have a few words in private."

Li Xi was humiliated by the pomegranate, and now he felt that he was reasonable and became unreasonable. Seeing that Li Gui was a well-behaved person, he also felt that if he could break the pomegranate back, he nodded a little embarrassingly in agreement.

Li Gui lifted the curtain and went inside. Pomegranate was sitting blankly facing the window, her straight back like a stubborn cold pine tree.Li Wang's family rubbed their hands together, then backed out, leaving the two of them talking.

The hall was silent for a while, everyone listened to the movement in the inner room with their ears open, and the sound of little kids playing with wooden knives came from outside the yard.Li Wang winked at his wife, and Li Wang's family hurried out, scolding the little bastard for causing trouble for her again, and when the guest left, she had to deal with him properly.
