Evening Shaohua in the Red House

In the early morning of the next day, Li Wan ordered someone to make some exquisite snacks, packed them in saving boxes, packed a few plates of side dishes, two fruit boxes, and two jars of peach blossom wine. Lan and Shen Yi sent it.

At that time, Shen Yi was sorting out the manuscripts in the study, when he saw Jia Lan bringing a servant over with a bunch of drinks and snacks, he couldn't help being a little puzzled, and said, "There's not a big banquet today, what are you doing with these?"

Jia Lan asked people to put out all kinds of snacks and fruits, and said with a smile: "This is what my mother sent me. I said I was grateful for the previous post, sir. I was really grateful, but I didn't know what to give, so I packed some. Bring fresh melon and fruit snacks for Mr. to taste."

Shen Yi couldn't help being startled when he heard the words, and said: "It's just a little effort, some trivial matters, why bother, go back and thank Lingtang on my behalf."

Jia Lan agreed, opened another jar of peach blossom wine herself, and said with a smile: "This is the peach blossom wine that my mother and I brewed together five years ago. Although it is not as good as the old wine outside, the taste is not bad, sir. Try it."

Shen Yi went to the table and sat down, and saw that the table was covered with a variety of dim sum plates, small and exquisite in style, fragrant and very attractive.

Shen Yi saw that apart from a few unfamiliar dim sum, the rest were his favorite flavors, he couldn't help being startled, and then came to understand, couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, glared at Jia Lan, gritted his teeth and said: "Stinky boy , you are talking nonsense outside again, ruining my image."

Jia Lan giggled, and said: "It's not a crime to love sweets. Don't be embarrassed, sir. Besides, I only told my mother about it. Outsiders don't know about it. Just rest assured."

Hearing the words 'not an outsider', Shen Yi suddenly thought of the beautiful face he saw that day, couldn't help but move in his heart, then came back to his senses, his ears turned red slightly, he coughed lightly with his fist on his lips, and said: "That's all, Don't talk nonsense in the future."

Jia Lan didn't think too much about it, only thought that Shen Yi felt uncomfortable when others found out about his sweet tooth, so he hurriedly smiled and agreed, "Don't worry, sir, I won't tell anyone again."

While speaking, I have already set up two sets of cups and chopsticks, as well as several side dishes for drinking, eight plates of four meat and four vegetables, plus various snacks and dried fruits, there are always a dozen of them.

Seeing that he was busy, Shen Yi turned around and ordered the boy to fetch a silver wine jug, filled the wine, and said with a smile: "Sit down too."

Jia Lan held the silver jug ​​in his hand, poured wine for Shen Yi, and then sat down.

, smiled and said: "Sir, let's taste how these pastries taste. These western pastries are our family's secret recipe, and they cannot be eaten outside."

Seeing that none of these snacks had ever been eaten before, Shen Yi used a silver skewer to pick up a small square of butter and tasted it. It was soft and sweet, and melted in the mouth. He couldn't help but nodded and smiled: "The taste is really good."

Seeing that he liked it, Jia Lan moved a plate of drunken shrimp over and said with a smile, "Sir, try this again."

Shen Yi peeled a drunken prawn as he said, and ate it. The meat was tender and chewy, with a light aroma of wine. Let me make it clear today!" After he finished speaking, he drank the wine in his glass and poured out the wine from the jug.

Fearing that he would eat too much on a whim, Jia Lan hurriedly took the jug and said with a smile, "Let the students hold the wine for the master."

Seeing his expression, Shen Yi knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "Don't worry, I'll remember, have a drink and enjoy yourself, you won't get drunk."

However, the apprentice is so filial, and he is very useful in his heart. My aunt has always regretted that he has no son, but she doesn't know that his knees are not desolate. His apprentice is much more caring than his son. He is already satisfied with receiving such a student in his life, and has nothing more to ask for up.

Only then did Jia Lan feel relieved, and seeing that Shen Yi was in a good mood, she also ate two cups with her. The two master and apprentice took advantage of the wine to chat and chat happily, and they didn't finish eating until near noon.

When he returned to the manor, Li Wan was watching the maids packing up their things. Seeing Jia Lan staggering in, he hurriedly pulled him to sit beside him, tried it with the back of his hand, and felt his face was hot. After drinking so much wine, my face is hot."

Although Jia Lan was a little drunk, she was still conscious, and said with a giggle, "Don't worry, Mom, I didn't eat too much. I just ate two cups with him because my husband was in a good mood. My face turned red."

Li Wan shook his head helplessly, ordered someone to boil the soup for hangover, and then brought hot water to wipe his face, and said: "The peach blossom brew has enough stamina, and it will be drunk in a while, so why don't you just lie there quietly for a while go."

Jia Lan drank the wine-relief soup, wiped off his forehead, took off his robe and boots, and lay down on the kang with pillows, and soon fell asleep soundly.

Seeing this, Li Wan shook his head with a smile, and said to Suyun, "Go and tell the kitchen to cook something easy to digest for dinner, and don't make it greasy."

Suyun agreed to go, and suddenly a woman came to pass the message: "Grandma, Lian's second grandma and four

The girl is here. "

Li Wan was startled when he heard the words, she was very puzzled, she had sent a letter yesterday saying that she would go back in two days, why did Sister Feng and Xichun come over suddenly?Did something happen to Jia's mansion?

I couldn't figure it out for a while, so I had to ask the serving mother-in-law and maid to take care of Jia Lan, and then led someone to welcome him out.

When they met and exchanged a few words, Li Wan saw that although Sister Feng's eyebrows were a little sad, but her expression was still normal, she was relieved and said with a smile: "I just explained that I will go back, why are you upside down today?" ?”

Sister Feng smiled and said: "The old lady sent me to bring some things to sister Lin. It happened that the fourth sister was a little unhappy because it was the grand master's birthday in the East Mansion a few days ago, so the old lady called me to come over. Chuang Tzu will stay here for two days to relax."

Li Wan glanced at Xichun when she heard this, and saw that she only lowered her eyes and said nothing, and saw Sister Feng secretly winking at her, her heart became more and more suspicious, but it was inconvenient to ask in detail in front of everyone, so she concealed her doubts and said with a smile: "How about this?" Even better, I'll stay lazy for a few more days."

After finishing speaking, he ordered the mother-in-law to take the entourage down to make arrangements, then turned her head to Xichun and said, "It just so happened that the rooms here are just cleaned up, and the house where the fourth sister lived was also cleaned up. My sister has worked hard all the way, why don't you go and have a rest first?" meeting."

Xichun nodded, glanced at Sister Feng, pulled the corners of her mouth reluctantly, and said, "Sister-in-law, just greet Sister Feng, I'll go to rest first." After saying that, Fu saluted, then turned and followed the old mother away .

Li Wan then ordered people to clean up Sister Feng's courtyard, and asked the kitchen to prepare food and wine for them to welcome.

Seeing this, Sister Feng said hurriedly: "Sister-in-law, don't be busy, and I can't stay longer. I will go back in a while." After that, she winked quietly, and Li Wan understood, waved and ordered everyone to leave, and Fang pulled Sister Feng away. Sitting down, he said, "What's going on?"

Sister Feng couldn't help sighing when she heard the words, and told the story of what happened in Dongfu a few days ago.

Only then did Li Wan understand what was going on, and he couldn't help frowning: "We shouldn't say these words: it's just that the Dongfu is too noisy, and the maid who was slightly flat-headed and straight-faced before will not be let go, but now she is messing with my sister-in-law. Together, everyone knows what it looks like."

Sister Feng curled her lips and said: "Why doesn't the old lady know, it's just that we are separated from each other after all, and Brother Zhen is the head of the clan, so the old lady can't care too much, so she can only turn one eye and close the other, not to mention that flies don't bite and never bite." Sewed eggs, the Youshi sisters are not a good thing either,

Knowing that Big Brother Zhen has a greedy and lustful temperament, but still lives in Dongfu all day long and refuses to leave, it is really shameless. "

She had always hated frivolous people like Second Sister You and Third Sister You the most. Thinking of Sister You's appearance, she frowned even more.

Hearing this, Li Wan gave Sister Feng a meaningful look, thinking that fortunately the plot has changed now, otherwise if you knew that Second Sister You was following Jia Lian, you would probably explode with rage.

Sister Feng didn't know what Li Wan was thinking, and sighed: "We can't control the affairs of the East Mansion, but the fourth younger sister was brought up by us, but now she is thinking of becoming a monk with all her heart. If you refuse to change your mind, we really have no choice but to send her here. In the past, she listened to your sister-in-law the most. These days, you and Sister Lin try to persuade her more, maybe you can turn around."

Li Wan couldn't help but also sighed when she heard the words, she knew that Xichun's temperament was a bit withdrawn due to her growing environment, and she had specially enlightened her over the years, so she finally became more cheerful. She thought it would change her fate, but unexpectedly she returned origin.

She lowered her head and thought for a while, but she didn't have any ideas for a moment, and sighed: "Although the fourth sister is young, she is stubborn, and no one can change what she has decided. I have to discuss this matter with Sister Lin to see how to proceed. "

Sister Feng nodded and said: "We also know that this is a difficult matter. The old lady said, if sister-in-law has a way, just do it, as long as it can dispel the idea of ​​fourth younger sister becoming a monk."

For a while, the two discussed again, and Sister Feng left and went back.

Li Wan sent Sister Feng to the car, Fang turned and came in, ordered someone to pack up some melons, fruits and snacks, and went to Xichun's room.

At this time, Xichun had already washed and washed, and when she saw Li Wan coming in, she got up to greet her.

Li Wan said with a smile: "It will be a while before dinner, so I asked someone to pack some fruits and snacks, and my sister eats some snacks to make a cushion."

Xichun was silent for a moment when she heard the words, then Fang whispered: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to hide it, I know Sister Feng must have told you all about it, so you're here to persuade me, right?"

Li Wan was startled when he heard the words, then smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "The old lady asked me to persuade you, but I didn't come to force you, I just hope you don't make impulsive decisions that you will regret."

Xichun smiled ironically when she heard the words, and said, "I have nothing now, so what else can I regret."

Li Wan couldn't help frowning, and said: "Who said, we are still here, you have relatives

, Have friends, how can you have nothing. "

Xichun smiled lightly when she heard the words, shook her head and said: "I know, the only sister-in-law in the mansion is really good to me, but who can take care of whom for the rest of their lives, sister-in-law also has her own life to live.

And as long as I stay in the mansion, I will still be forced to marry by my brother and sister-in-law. The scandals in Dongfu in recent years have been known to everyone, and it has become a joke in Beijing. The two stone lions are clean, not even cats and dogs. With my background, who would dare to take it?

Even if you are married, you can't escape the disputes in the backyard after all. You see, those people in our family are like black-eyed chickens. I wish you could eat me and I eat you. Instead of living like this, it's better to escape into Buddhism , but clean. "

After hearing this, Li Wan was speechless for a long time. He thought that Xichun was impulsive, but he thought it very clearly, and felt more and more pity in his heart. This child is not loved by his parents when he urinates, and his brother and sister-in-law are like that. He sighed deeply, sat down with her in his arms, and said: "I know what you mean, but the empty door may not be clean. Have you forgotten those things about Shuiyue Temple and Dizang Temple?"

Not only Shuiyue nunnery, but many nunneries are like this nowadays, in the name of becoming a monk to practice, but doing flesh and blood, the so-called nuns are nothing more than prostitutes.

Xichun was startled when he heard the words, and then remembered what he had heard about Shuiyue Nunnery back then, his face turned red at first, then turned pale again, before he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe there is no truly clean nunnery in the world."

After speaking, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, and he hurriedly said: "Isn't the Muni Court not far from the West Mountain? Back then, sister-in-law, you took us there."

Li Wan was at a loss for words for a while, then he changed his mind and said: "The reason why the Muni Academy has not joined forces with others is because Master Huiming is now in charge. It's just that Master Huiming is old, and I don't know what kind of character the next presiding officer will be. Are you willing to take a gamble?"

After hearing this, Xichun's eyes dimmed immediately, she lowered her head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Li Wan breathed a sigh of relief, and comforted her with warm words before returning to the room.

Leaning on the kang, frowning and thinking for a long time, Fang wrote a letter, called Bi Yue and said, "Send it to Aunt Lin immediately."

Biyue agreed to go, and came back half a day later, said: "Grandma said she got it, told grandma not to worry, she wrote a reply letter and asked to bring it to grandma." After saying that, she submitted Daiyu's reply letter.

Li Wan opened the letter and read it carefully.

Back, with a light sigh of relief, with Daiyu's help, I finally have some confidence in my heart.

Early the next morning, Daiyu sent someone to invite Li Wan Xichun to come over. Xichun was already prepared, but when they met, Daiyu didn't say anything. "Brother An's quarrel gave me a headache early in the morning, my sister took him to play for a while."

An Geer was only 20 days old, wrapped in a red swaddle, and his little face was round, soft and tender. It made people's hearts melt, and Xichun also softened his heart. Make him talk.

Seeing this, Daiyu smiled slightly, gave instructions to the nurses and maids, and then went to talk with Li Wan in the next room.

The two sat down on the kang, and Daiyu asked: "Sister-in-law asked yesterday, what is fourth sister thinking now?"

Li Wan told about yesterday's situation, and sighed: "Fortunately, I have been fooling around with words, the fourth younger sister's intention to become a monk is not as firm as it was at the beginning, but after all, she refuses to let go of this idea, and now I can't think of any good way. Do you have any ideas, sister?"

Daiyu lowered her head and pondered for a moment, Fang said: "Fourth younger sister is stubborn, it may be useless to persuade her blindly. In my opinion, she is just angry for a while, and she doesn't really decide to become a monk. We have to figure it out slowly, and we can't act too hastily and arouse her. rebellious heart." After finishing speaking, he whispered something in his ear.

After hearing the words, Li Wan pondered for a moment, then said for a while: "This is also a way, that's all, there is no good way anyway, let's leave it at that."

Immediately, the two of them discussed again, and the plan was decided, so they acted on their own.

In the next few days, Li Wan either took Xichun to play around the villa, or went to Gu's house to visit Daiyu, never saying any words of advice. Although Xichun was puzzled, she felt a little more at ease.

The scenery on Biezhuang is quiet and beautiful, with Li Wan and Daiyu talking and laughing as company, Xichun gradually relaxes, her heart relaxes, and her spirit improves a lot.

A few days later, it was Brother An's full moon, Gu Yan and Gu Zhan had a discussion, but they still didn't make a big deal, they only served a few tables of wine and food, and invited close relatives and friends over to have a good time.

Mrs. Shen also came today, and Shen Yi was stopped by his aunt again, nagging about the remarriage for half a day, feeling annoyed, so he got out and took advantage of the time to play around in the garden, not even the servants who followed him. Know.One person quietly walked behind the mountain, regardless of whether there is a road or no road, high and low, twists and turns, walking randomly.

The garden is full of flowers and trees, especially a large plum grove, which is Yong'an.

The eldest princess planted it by hand for decades. Although it is only October now, this year it is cold and the temperature on the mountain is low. All the wintersweets in the garden are in bloom and the fragrance is overflowing.

Shen Yi just turned a corner, he didn't hear anyone's voice at all, he only heard the cry of black sparrows calling each other, his nose was full of plum fragrance, the boredom in his heart gradually disappeared, and he calmed down again.

Passing through the stone path, you can see a rockery in front of you, with a stone cave in the middle, with the words "winding path leading to seclusion" written on the entrance of the cave, and you can vaguely see that the outside is very bright.

It turned out that this path was intentionally set inside the rockery, Shen Yi went in close to him, and was about to walk out of the cave when he suddenly heard a woman's voice in front of him, he quickly stopped, raised his eyes to see the person coming, he couldn't help being stunned.
