Out of the Daxiong Palace, there is a small supporting hall on the mountainside.On the contrary, the incense was very prosperous there, people came and went, almost all the female relatives came in and out, Yan Cui asked a woman to inquire, saying that it was an offering to send off her son and mother.

"Miss, this time, you must worship at every temple, and you should also worship at the place where you send your son off."

"There is no need to go there. Although I worship Buddha purely as I follow the Romans, as the old saying goes, I would rather believe it or not. If there is no need to worship Bodhisattvas, don't step into the temple easily to save trouble."

"Miss, you have been married to my uncle for so long, don't you want a child?" Yan Cui said, "If you have a child, mother is more expensive than a child, maybe you won't have such a hard time here, besides, my uncle still loves you dearly. "

"Don't talk about it, if I need a child, what is the use of this kind of marriage?" Zhilan was a little angry.

Yan Cui stopped ringing.

The two were talking when Jingru came down from the mountainside alone.

"Sister-in-law, why are you going to pay homage to the mother-in-law? It's a pity, it's a pity that even if you hold your feet temporarily, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it." She smiled, and then whispered into Zhilan's ear, "Don't waste your time, it's a matter of giving birth to a child." Is it something you, a woman, can accomplish?"

Zhilan still smiled back at her: "Sister and sister, although you are not alone, you haven't seen anything for a long time. I am so well-known, but you, I want to see, how can a hen that can't lay eggs be proud?" How long? Yancui, let's go."

"You!" Jingru was annoyed, and after thinking about it, she calmed down again, "I don't care about you, anyway, you are just talking about it." She stood behind Zhilan, with a contemptuous smile hanging from the corner of her mouth.

After returning from Xiuyuan Temple, Wan Xinqiao called Li Shaowen into the room and talked for half an hour.

When he came out, his face was heavy, and he went straight to Zhilan's room with his hands behind his back.

Yan Cui brought tea to the aunt, she glanced at Li Shaowen's gloomy face out of the corner of her eye, and felt frightened.

Li Shaowen looked at Zhi Lan with a calm expression, his eyes couldn't hide his anger, and a sharp and cold gaze projected from his eyes.

"What's the matter with the husband of you and the second miss of the Qi family? Is he the lover in your heart?"

"We used to be friends." Zhilan turned a page of the book in his hand, "Now we are not even friends."

"Mother said that she saw you flirting with him on the way to the incense, and even the servants in the mansion saw your behavior regardless of your status, is it true?"

"I've seen it all, I have nothing to hide, what they said is true." Zhi Lan said indifferently.

"My mother and younger siblings told me that I still don't believe it. I didn't expect that these things really happened to you! You are already married to me, and you are the young mistress of Li Zhai. Why do you behave so indiscreetly?"

"I'm disrespectful?" Zhilan was irritated by this sentence, and threw the book on the table, "Have you and I violated the rules after we got married? I just met an old friend on the way, why not As for being spread unbearably by family members? You are my husband, I never thought that hearing the wind is rain, you can’t understand me, and you just blame me, you really chill me.”

"You mean I'm inconsiderate and don't understand you? I think I have a clear conscience. In order to take care of your emotions, I took you out and didn't even attend Shaowu's wedding banquet. In front of my mother, I have been speaking for you, but What about you? Since you got married, which one of the things you have done has not made the whole family uneasy? It’s not because you talk back to your mother, how could you let her old disease relapse and lie in bed for a month? It’s not because you dragged Qi on the road How could the second lady's husband be displeased by mother?"

"Yes, everything I did was wrong. You, Young Master Li, are a saint, and you did everything right. I have to thank you for sending my brother to prison, don't you?" Zhilan sarcastically said, "Since I made trouble for no reason, Why are you still running into my room, great sage?"

"Not taught!" Li Shaowen glared at her, got up and walked away.

He felt oppressed for a while, he didn't want to stay at home, and he didn't want to go to Zhihe. He was in a daze in the study for a while, and saw the wedding photo on the bookshelf in the study. In the photo, he and Zhilan were smiling. At that time, he was really He is the happiest person in the city, and now he can never go back.He took it down and looked at it carefully.

"Master, here comes the tea you want." Butler Fu brought in a cup of tea.

Li Shaowen put down the photo, took a sip of tea, remembered something, and ordered Fu Guanjia: "Prepare the car."

Sitting in the car, he asked the driver to drive directly to Siniang's tea house.Si Niang is like a wonderful person who can pinch and count, with a delicate heart that is more than dry, Li Shaowen just sat down, but did not speak, Si Niang covered her lips and smiled: "This time we are not only here to drink tea, Are you arguing with your wife again?"

Li Shaowen shook his head with a sigh.

"It seems that my guess is probably [-]% accurate. Listen to a tune to relieve boredom, or is it the same girl from last time?"

Li Shaowen was noncommittal.

Si Niang ordered the servant girl to bring Yan Ying up.

Li Shaowen was fascinated by the appearance of such a delicate and delicate Jiangnan woman with Wu Nong's soft language, especially her eyes that looked a bit like Zhilan in Jiangcheng.

Si Niang smiled and said: "When people come, I will not disturb the young master's elegant mood. If you want to listen to a song or cook tea, Yan Ying has already learned it. Let her serve you." She withdrew as she spoke.

Only Li Shaowen and Yan Ying were left in the room.

Yan Ying stood shyly with her pipa in her arms, listening quietly to Young Master Li's orders.

Li Shaowen is not a man who is obsessed with sex. Looking at her handsome and young appearance, he suddenly had a vague idea in his heart.

"Let's play the song from last time. If you play well, I will reward you a lot. You can choose whatever reward you want, as long as I can do it." Li Shaowen laughed.

"Okay." Yan Ying looked at the handsome and well-dressed Mr. Zhuo Shijia in front of him, who didn't move like other guests as soon as he came, and immediately felt a little fond of him.

Yan Ying was still sitting in the same corner as last time, exhausting all she had learned, and played Flying Daggers.

Li Shaowen closed his eyes and listened carefully, he could hear the tension in the song and the regret of Xiang Yu's unfulfilled ambition.At the end of the song, he applauded with great interest: "Good! That's great! Miss Yanying's pipa really brings out the meaning of the song. I want to reward you, what do you want?"

Yan Ying hugged the pipa and bowed deeply, said with a smile: "I don't have anything else to ask for, but I only hope that you, Young Master Li, can come and listen to my music more often, that's enough."

"Oh? That's it?" Li Shaowen laughed, "This request is interesting."

"Ugh……"

"Why is Miss Yanying sighing? What did I do wrong?" Li Shaowen aroused curiosity.

"It's pointless to say more, it's worth not to say it!" Yan Ying picked up the pipa and got up to leave.

"Girl stay." Li Shaowen got up first and took her hand.

Pulling her to turn around, she saw Yanying with tears in her eyes, she was holding the pipa with one hand, and was wiping tears with the other hand.

Li Shaowen quickly let go of his hand: "Did I be rude, girl? Forgive me."

"No, no, I was rude."

"You... Is there something sad? If you can trust me, you might as well tell me." Li Shaowen thought for a while and said.

"Thank you. Ever since I came here, I have been served by men, no one has ever been so polite to me like you." Yan Ying said timidly, "I am already very grateful that you came to listen to the music, how dare you ask for more? "

"Where are you from, why did you come to Si Niang's tea house?" Li Shaowen pointed gently at the table, and asked her to put down the pipa, and sit opposite him to chat.

"I'm from Huangcheng. In the 21st year of the Republic of China, the Yangtze River flooded. We were hit by a disaster. We couldn't survive. My father sold me to traffickers for food. The traffickers changed hands a few times. I went to a rich family to work as a maid, but I disliked me for being too old, saying that Jiangcheng was easy to make a living, and finally sold me here, Si Niang was very kind to us girls, I thought I would let this go for the rest of my life."

Li Shaowen looked at Yanying's heavy expression, and apologized: "I'm sorry, I reminded you of something sad."

Yan Ying said nothing.

In today's world, it is not easy to protect himself, he suddenly felt sorry for the girl in front of him.

"It's a pity that you've been here all your life. Have you seen a movie? Otherwise, I'll treat you to a movie. Recently, there is a new movie by movie star Ruan Lingyu."

"I... can I really do it?" Yan Ying has never seen a movie, and she often hears from guests that she doesn't know what a magical thing a movie is, and she looks up at him expectantly.

Infected by her eyes, Li Shaowen nodded with a smile: "Let's go now."

"Yeah!" Yan Ying replied shyly and touched, looking at Li Shaowen with reverence.

The two stepped out of the tea house, Yanying went to "ask for leave" with Si Niang, Si Niang knew it well, and agreed.She looked at the figures of Li Shaowen and Yan Ying one behind the other, and couldn't help but lament that Yan Ying, a girl who looked gentle and soft, had no idea that she had a lot of tricks.

The car arrived at Huaxin Cinema.

Yan Ying is a little girl who has never seen the world. Sitting in the car, it turned out that the horse-drawn car looked like this. Seeing the colorful signboards and row upon row of buildings on the street, everything was so novel that she couldn't take it all in her eyes.

Li Shaowen paid attention to her, seeing her innocent appearance, he suddenly became interested.

Bought two movie tickets at the door.Suddenly remembered that he had never brought Zhilan here before, what a pity, he looked at the girl beside him, and thought that Zhilan would never look around like this, what would happen if she came?It is probably not surprising.

"Go, let's go in." Li Shaowen lifted the curtain.

"I..." Yan Ying hesitated to speak.

"what happened?"

"I... see the darkness in this movie theater..." She was a little scared and shrank towards him.

"Haha, it's okay, don't be afraid. How about you hold my hand?" Li Shaowen handed her his hand heartily.

Yan Ying held one of his fingers timidly.

Li Shaowen felt it, and grabbed her entire palm with his backhand. It was only when he held hands that he felt the thick calluses on her fingers.

"I didn't expect you to work so hard."

"I have no other specialties. If I don't put my heart into learning how to play the pipa, how will I be able to support myself in the future?" Yan Ying said.

With a thought, Li Shaowen held her hand tightly and led her into the screening room.
