Delicious Delicacy of the Demon Spirit

Li Kuer stammered and told He Weiran what Song Matchmaker told He Weiran in the afternoon, and He Weiran felt more and more helpless the more he listened, and finally, he just sighed and said, "What do you want me to say about you? It's really... "

What is it?Before he could leave, a few girls who had been eavesdropping ran in and said excitedly, "Kuer wants to marry you?! She's still a scholar, interesting and interesting!" It seemed to be gloating.

He Weiran stopped talking, and Li Kuer was so anxious that she wanted to cry, so she hurried to cover their mouths, but there were so many people, she couldn't cover them.

"There's nothing to be shy about. Although it's a matchmaker, it's a talent." Xiaoqu has always been shrewd, knowing that when a girl reaches her age, she has to plan for her marriage early, so she thought Li Kuer was soft-tempered and soft-tempered. Slow has always been ignorant of love and lack of family arrangements, worrying that she will be left to die by himself sooner or later, and marrying a bad old man in the end will definitely have to suffer in the future. Now that she knows that she will be happy, she is also happy for her.

Li Kuer couldn't hear any kindness from her words, so she became even more annoyed.

"Actually, that Qi Xiucai... I know him." Ah Zhu covered her mouth and smiled, and continued: "I live on the same street as our family."

Hearing what she said, the other servant girls immediately became very curious and asked her one after another: "Is it true? How does it look? How is your character? Is there any money in the family?" It was as if they were the ones going on a blind date .

Azhu thought for a while and said: "Actually, although I live on the same street, I don't know their family very well. The whole family reads the Four Books and Five Classics, and they always have the airs of a literati. But you know, the man in my family is also A scholar, although he has never been well-known in the exam, but he was a classmate with Erlang of the Qi family. Those three brothers, all of them are very good at reading, especially Dalang Qi Congshu, who is still theirs today. The most proud protégé in the Master’s mouth, he won the Juren when he was less than 30 years old. He went to Beijing to take the exam two years ago and won the Jinshi. It is said that he entered the Hanlin Academy and was paid by the imperial court. Look at Saburo Qi, who is young If you can be admitted as a scholar, you will have a bright future in the future."

Li Kuer was not moved at all, but Ah Liao and Xiao Qu's eyes widened with longing.

"Perhaps in the future, it is not certain that you will win the first prize! Ku'er, you will be the wife of the first prize!" Xiao Qu said with his palm.

Ah Liao also said: "It's really a good family. I think there was a matchmaker who came to my door to propose marriage to me before. It was only for business, as if the daughter of the Shiyu family had to be married to the son of the horse seller."

"Then I'll just tell you." Li Kuer raised her eyebrows: "Anyway, I don't want to marry..."

Xiao Qu rolled her eyes and asked Li Kuer if she was stupid.Ah Liao also made excuses awkwardly, saying that since she couldn't read and write, scholars might look down on her.

He Weiran was sour in his heart, even though his face was as calm as water, he couldn't listen to what they said.With a dry cough, he put on a face and said, "Stop talking nonsense, it's getting late, why don't you hurry up and work?"

Several maidservants scattered like birds and beasts. Seeing them go out, Li Kuer huddled beside He Weiran, and said with a guilty conscience, "Sister He, are you unhappy? I'm sorry, it's all my fault." In fact, she was also unhappy in a thousand ways. , she was even more annoyed that she hadn't expressed her wishes clearly before, but until now, she didn't know how to reject them, so she felt a little bit wronged.

He Weiran looked at her with downcast eyes, raised his hand, stroked Li Kuer's cheek, and said, "Forget it, it's just to see her once, and it's too late to refuse. Remember, don't be like today Such a dull tongue, otherwise, you got into the sedan chair in a daze, tell me to find someone to cry with?"

Li Kuer pursed her lips and smiled, threw herself into He Weiran's arms and acted like a baby: "I'm not so stupid."

"Then...do you want me to go with you?" He Weiran patted her on the back: "If you can't speak, let me speak for you."

"This..." Li Kuer hesitated, she thought that if He Weiran was with her, her waist would be much stiffer, but if this matter was not resolved by herself, she was afraid that He Weiran would be somewhat disappointed.

"Well, if the parents over there come, I'll go with you. If it's just the two of you meeting, I won't go."

Li Ku'er agreed with this approach very much, thinking that if it was only for a scholar, how could there be any reason to say that he was not good enough?

In the evening, He Weiran followed Li Kuer back home.It was snowing all over the world, and the sporadic snowflakes were blown by the wind and hit people's faces, causing faint stinging pain.It will snow heavily in less than half an hour.

Ah Kui waited at the door with a bunch of washed radishes, her little face was red from the cold, when she saw them coming back wrapped in the same cloak, she jumped into the yard and shouted: "Come on, come on!" Lah, radish soup and radish soup!"

The two stepped into the courtyard gate and shut Fengxue out.Meihua stood at the door of the kitchen, and said to He Weiran, "Come here, teach me how to cook radish soup today."

"Ku'er has already told me, look, we brought back the broth, we can use it right away."

"That's great, come in quickly."

He Weiran went into the kitchen, and Li Kuer instinctively wanted to follow, but was stopped by Mei Hua: "Kuer, talk to Akui, we both have some private matters to discuss."

Li Kuer was very puzzled, but he couldn't ask any further questions, so he honestly took Ah Kui back to the house and lit a charcoal to warm her cold little hands.

After about two cups of tea, the aroma of carrot soup filled the room.Ah Kui licked her lips and said, "I'm so hungry."

Li Kuer laughed at her: "You know what you're hungry for? Isn't it greedy? I don't know if Sister Meihua has finished talking to Sister He."

The two went back to the kitchen together, but the door was still closed.Knock on the door, and not long after, plum blossoms came to open the door.

"Is the radish soup ready?" Aoi asked happily.

Li Ku'er looked over at He Weiran's place, but saw her standing in front of the stove stirring the soup with a spoon, but her thoughts seemed to be drifting away, and there was still a hint of depression on her face.

"Sister He? Sister He!" Ah Kui ran over to call her.Her hands trembled before she realized it, looked at Ah Kui, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Is the radish soup ready to drink?" Ah Kui didn't notice anything strange about her, she was only thinking about the radish soup.

He Weiran held the corner of his mouth reluctantly: "Well, it's almost ready, pack up the dishes and wait in front of the hall."

Ah Kui was very active and self-conscious, stepped on the small bench and went to the cupboard to get the bowl.Li Kuer was not as heartless as she was, and asked He Weiran, "Sister He, what's wrong?"

He Weiran looked at her with elusive eyes: "Let's talk to you later, let's eat first."

However, the meal was eaten, and one night later, He Weiran still didn't mention it to Li Kuer.Li Ku'er tried to ask twice, but she was sloppy and perfunctory.

In the early morning of the next day, the snow had not stopped, but it tended to get colder and colder. Everywhere was covered in whiteness, which was very dazzling.The two of them went to the palace with umbrellas. As soon as they reached the door of the back kitchen, someone came to pass the news: "Miss He, today the prince and princess are going to burn incense in the temple to fulfill their vows, and enjoy the snow and see the scenery on the way. I want you to go together."

When Li Kuer heard this, his five sense organs were twisted into a ball: "Why do you have to go to burn incense every now and then? Those monks are lucky, but Sister He is exhausted."

He Weiran smiled, stopped Li Kuer's complaints, told the boy in Tongchuan that he would leave after a while, then went into the back kitchen, and ordered everyone to go home after preparing breakfast.

Everyone in the back kitchen couldn't help cheering when they heard the news. In such a weather, whoever wants to come out to do some work can't stay at home comfortably.

Li Kuer felt that they all had no conscience, and he didn't think about how hard it would be for sister He to go out to cook vegetarian meals for monks in such a snowy day.She wanted to go along, just to help, but He Weiran politely refused: "It's colder on the mountain, so you don't want to follow, getting cold is a troublesome thing, you'd better go back early."

Seeing her insistence, Li Kuer had no choice but to agree.He Weiran left in the palace's carriage, Li Kuer sighed, and was about to turn around and go home, but was stopped by Xiao Qu, A Zhu and A Liao.

"Bitter, bitter! We are going to visit Azhu's house today, so you should come with us!"

"Ah? That's not right... A Zhu is already married, and if he brings his sisters home, won't his parents-in-law mind?"

Azhu waved his hands: "It's okay, I'm not married to the neighbor next door. I usually run from my mother-in-law's house. If you come to visit my mother-in-law's house, my parents-in-law can't say anything."

"That's okay..." Li Kuer didn't think much about it, she just remembered that she hadn't been to A Zhu's house for a long time, and it would be a good idea to go and have a look if she had free time today.

Seeing that her attitude was loose, Xiao Qu exchanged a sly look with A Liao and A Zhu, pulled her away without any explanation.
