Chapter 831: reunion

The old bachelor had nothing but nothing, was idle and sneaky, just like that, and laughed at her as an old girl who couldn't get married, Chunmei felt very uncomfortable.

Although Li Guanshi is not flexible in his legs and feet, he is warm-hearted and quick in handling things. Chunmei is absolutely willing to marry him.

"There is also a living contract between me and Li Guanshi, so you don't have to worry."

Li Haitang didn't want to sign Li Short Legs to a death contract. It wasn't a matter of trust, but she felt that the other party had been a bandit, and she was disobedient. A contract couldn't restrain him.

If you are willing to work hard for you, even if there is no contract, you are still wholeheartedly for you. If you have two hearts for you, make small tricks in private, and want to hide it, it is still very simple.

Chunmei hesitated and blushed, no matter how straightforward a woman is, when it comes to marriage, she is inevitably shy.

Li Haitang finished clicking, and then changed the subject, "Chunmei, do you know anything about the Li family where Li Guanglu, the Minister of Dali Temple, lives?"

When she first arrived in Kyoto, Li Haitang made friends with Fang Shaoyao. She had a good impression of Fang Shaoyao, but she didn't know if his background was complicated. She still prefers simple people.

"Mrs. Li's house is very close to Zhuangzi, and the servant's maiden's house is not far behind Zhuangzi where Li's family is located."

The Li family was unknown among the officials, big and small, but Li Guanglu was not. In his thirties, he did not rely on his ancestors to cast a shadow over him. Although he was not a well-off yamen, it was not easy and his future was boundless.

Li Guanglu was just a concubine, and he was not valued by the Li family, so he was separated out early. He was favored by the master of the Fang family, and he married his beloved youngest daughter, Fang Shaoyao.

The Fang family is in the silk business and has its own caravan in the south of the Yangtze River. It can be regarded as a small merchant family.

"Ma'am, there are rumors in the capital that Fang Shaoyao is flourishing, and that's why Mr. Li has been promoted steadily."

Chunmei was very envious, not because she was envious of Li Guanglu's official position, but because he was famous for doting on his wife, he didn't have concubines and aunts by his side, and he refused to send maids from his colleagues.

Seeing that he was promoted, the Li family rushed to mend the relationship. At first, Li Guanglu refused. He didn't have much affection for the Li family. move around.

Li Haitang took a sip of the sweet chrysanthemum tea. It seemed that Li Guanglu was an upright person who would not beat around the bush, while Fang Shaoyao was not. She was smart and slick, and she would not miss it if she could use it. In modern terms, she has a high emotional intelligence.

That’s right, it’s not that stupid people are safe when they associate with smart people. Moreover, stupid people don’t necessarily cheat you at any time. She is still very innocent and doesn’t understand what she has done.

As the carriage drove forward, Chunmei talked more and more. She hadn't been out much in Zhuangzi, and she heard a lot of news from the old lady in Zhuangzi.

The old nanny once served beside Zhang Ruyi's mother Xia, so she knew many etiquettes very clearly.

For example, when going out to be a guest, prepare at least two sets of clothes. In case the clothes get dirty during the period, there will be extra replacements, so as not to be rude.

During those days when young ladies and wives came to have a happy life, there were more things on the carriage, such as warm water bottles, **** jujube tea, menstrual belt...

When Chunmei said this, Bai Guo was speechless and kept it silently in her heart. She planned to go out this time, talk less, listen more and watch more, to see how other people's wives' personal servants behave. Embarrass the lady.

The two Zhuangzi were not far away, and they arrived at the Li family soon.

Fang Shaoyao waited in front of the door with her maid, and she was relieved when she saw the carriage approaching from a distance. Originally, she was afraid that Li Haitang would recognize her, so she refused to come to the door.

"Sister Haitang, I'm waiting for you now!"

Fang Shaoyao waved a small handkerchief, smiling all over her face. When the carriage stopped, Li Haitang hurried to the car, held her hand, and said politely, "Sister Shaoyao has kept you waiting."

In Kyoto, people who are not familiar with each other, or in big scenes, call each other Madam, and when Madams meet in private, most of them are close friends and handkerchiefs with good feelings. it is good.

"It didn't take long, you are here for the first time, so I have to come out to meet you."

Fang Shaoyao was very careful, and along the way introduced the mountains and rivers of the Li family's village, which was the ancestral property of the Li family, and had nothing to do with her husband, but after the relationship between the two families eased, Fang Shaoyao often came to stay for a while, and received a group of good sisters by the way.

"Will this be a little bad..."

It's the first time to be a guest, it's always right to be tactful and polite, there is a good saying, it's not surprising that many people are polite, at least in terms of etiquette, Li Haitang didn't want to be picked on by others, scolding a country bumpkin who has never seen the world behind his back.

"Don't worry, they are easy to get along with."

After Fang Shaoyao finished speaking, she paused, with a strange expression on her face.

Li Haitang grasped this small detail, but she was smart enough not to ask.

She didn't have much purpose in coming here this time. If the other party is difficult to get along with, at most, write it down and stay away in the future. There is no need to make yourself feel uncomfortable for the other party's power.

Seeing her expression, Fang Shaoyao knew she had misunderstood, but she still couldn't explain it.

The Zhuangzi of the Li family covers a large area, but there is no hot spring, so they dug a large pond by themselves, with a mountain road in the middle and a lake pavilion in the middle.

Next to the pavilion in the middle of the lake, there is a bamboo building on the water. Sitting in the bamboo building and drinking tea in summer is a good place to escape the heat.

Fang Shaoyao invited a lot of people, but they were obviously not of the same group, they gathered together in twos and threes to talk, their voices were very low, they were obviously reserved, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.

"I originally only invited a few acquaintances, who knew so many people came."

Fang Shaoyao complained in a low voice, then changed her face, and walked through the crowd to entertain guests.

Li Haitang had no backer, nor was she a familiar face. When everyone chatted, they just glanced at her and quickly ignored her.

This kind of party is similar to a modern banquet of a wealthy family. It doesn't matter if you are isolated, you can still have some fun and make yourself happy.

Li Haitang found a cool place, sat on a chair, looked around at the scenery, and was in a good mood.

Their own Zhuangzi has hot springs, which are small and exquisite, but the space is limited after all. The Li family is different. The pond he dug out by himself has an area of ​​tens of acres. flow up. Sitting on a bamboo building to fish in summer, if you catch a big fish, slice it, blanch it in water, pour hot oil on it, make a pot of boiled fish to eat, sweat all over, and then sit in the clean room made of bamboo to wash. Going to the vegetable garden to pick melons, fruits and vegetables, the countryside is interesting, and life is peaceful and comfortable, it is really better than fighting wits and courage with some conscientious people all day long.
