Tsukaku.The Dongnuan Pavilion in the side hall is full of harmony and laughter.From the hollow carved Wanbaoge Moon Gate to the center of the hall, more than a dozen little maids are lined up on both sides, holding trays in both hands; or holding a small wooden box; Or carry a small and delicate food box.In the outer room of the East Warm Pavilion, fifteen old women stood next to four large boxes.Zong's red coat, autumn-colored skirt, covered with a shallow red jacket, and a simple short dress has the style of Mo's Zhongzheng Mansion.Mo's family motto: low-key and introverted, forbearance and greatness, are all kings.Therefore, the people of the Mo clan Zhongzheng Mansion follow the family motto set by the Mo ancestors, low-key, introverted, and forbearing.However, there are also people who break the century-old family motto and go the other way.For example, Mo Shenghuan, the loser of the Mo clan, is a stubborn and incompetent waste in the eyes of the Mo clan.In the small courtyard of the side hall, several old women wearing bamboo blue short jackets and brown long skirts stood in a row, each holding a gift.There are fine silks; a hundred taels of silver ingots covered with red silk; There are jewelry inlaid with red agate; There is also a fine white fox skin.The cold winter wind froze several old women with red faces and red ears, and their hands were even more cold and shivering slightly.But even so, they still stood motionless in the pines and cypresses.Wu's family motto: the foundation of the family, the line stops at the ceremony, and all are of the highest quality.The ancestors of the Wu clan believed that all human behavior should be respectful and courteous, and adhere to the rules, such a character is superior.This family motto is respected by the Wu clan and can be compared with the learning of Confucius and Mencius, and it is even more believed that the ancestors of the Wu clan are rare scholars in the world.When the clansmen talk about the family motto, they have the aura of "I am a cultural person".Each family has its own roots, family style and family precepts, and it is impossible to compare which clan's ancestors are wiser.In Li Haitang's eyes, whether it is Mrs.
Mo or Mrs.
Wu, the purpose of their coming here is by no means to show the rules and etiquette of their respective clans."
Miss Li's tea is different, it's better than the tea I eat every day."
Second Mrs.
Wu took a sip of tea and couldn't wait to praise it.Li Haitang closed his gaze and stared at the tea bowl in his hand.Three pieces of green tea leaves, a bowl of light tea soup, a faint aroma diffused with the hot smoke, and I don't think it's unique.Mrs.
Mo pretended to inadvertently slanted at the second Mrs.
Wu sitting on the opposite side, looking at the eyesore, and her heart responded.She thought that she was busy going to Li's South Mansion to curry favor with Mrs.
Li Yan today, so she took the opportunity to come to the Xian Pavilion to give some New Year's gifts, and took the lead in winning the favor of Feng Xian's daughter.I didn't expect to meet the second lady Wu outside the gate of the Xiqiao Pavilion, it seems that the idea of winning over the ancestor daughter under the guise of giving a New Year's gift is not only her Mo clan, but the Wu clan can't bear it.In this way, the two ladies who looked down on each other compared their power with their eyes and knives, and neither of them was convinced.Li Haitang took a sip of tea, and quietly observed the two Yongrong women who looked like "cockfighting", with ghosts in their hearts and cold feelings."
Big girl, the old slave has something to say.""
Come in and talk back."
Li Haitang put down the tea bowl and sat upright.Outside the door, Sister-in-law Li lifted the curtain and entered, standing outside the hollow carved Wanbaoge Moon Gate, and said respectfully: "Big girl, the cotton girl from Li's Nanfu is here."
With the cotton girl, there were ten old sisters-in-law and three boxes. ”Li Haitang was puzzled and looked at Mrs.
Mo.Mrs.
Mo explained with a smile: "Miss Mian is the second daughter of Second Master Li, named Yunmian. ”"Oh."
Li Haitang was stunned, his face was not revealed, and he was sneering in his heart.This Mrs.
Li Yan got her protection to save her life, and after tearing her face with Mrs.
Li, she was worried that she would be oppressed, and sent her three-year-old daughter to give gifts to show that she did not really rely on the palace to live, and after using her to save her life, she wanted to be alone, and it was really good to make a calculation."
Second Master Li's funeral is not over, and the South Mansion of the Li family is short of money.Since the New Year's gift is delivered, I will accept it, and after an hour, you will lead the appropriate person to send the New Year's gift back to Li's Nanfu, you don't need to say anything beautiful, I believe that Mrs.
Li Yan also understands my heart in my heart. ”"Yes.Do as the eldest girl commands. ”Sister-in-law Li bent her knees and retreated.Suddenly, there was silence in the inner warm pavilion.Li Haitang treated the New Year's gift from Mrs.
Li Yan like this, and said those ambiguous words in front of Mrs.
Mo and Mrs.
Wu, making it clear that Mrs.
Li Yan's little plan to "cross the river and tear down the bridge" was shattered.Mrs.
Mo was silent, guessing what was the real intention of Mrs.
Liyan's behavior?
And why did Li Haitang hold on to Mrs.
Li Yan tightly?
If it were her or Beppu's wife, what would Li Haitang do?
Second Lady Wu leaned her body, leaned closer, and asked in a half-hoarse voice: "Miss Li, it is already a great favor for you to be able to save Mrs.
Li Yan's life today, according to me, you just have to accept the New Year's gift with peace of mind, why go back and hurt people."
There are also a lot of shops and Zhuangzi in Li's South Mansion, and the New Year's ceremony is a routine rule......"
"Second Mrs.
Wu." ”Li Haitang interrupted the chatter in her ear, she picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, and said, "If it is a regular New Year's gift, I will definitely accept it."
But Mrs.
Liyan asked Miss Mian to send it, and it was an old sister-in-law and a box, so there was no serious reason, how could I accept it?
Instead of putting it at home, it is better to go back, and I will be at ease. ”Mrs.
Mo agreed: "Miss Li is thinking about it.If Mrs.
Li Yan is a smart person, she naturally understands that Miss Li is good for her; If she's a fool......
Alas!
After all, I disappointed Miss Li's heart. ”Li Haitang put down the tea bowl and smiled slightly, "Mrs.
Mo, if the incident that sheltered Mrs.
Li Yan's life yesterday happened to Mrs.
Beppu, I would do the same." ”Mrs.
Mo was skeptical, and looked directly at Begonia's delicate and calm little face.Li Haitang did not dodge or hide, under the scrutiny of Mrs.

Mo."
Miss Li, what are you doing this for?"
Second Mrs.
Wu is straightforward, she doesn't like to guess people's hearts as much as Mrs.
Mo.She likes to go straight to the point, and when in doubt, she asks questions, and it is up to her to decide whether to believe it or not."
As the daughter of Feng Xian, she enjoys the support and respect of the eight major families, and of course she also shoulders the heavy responsibility of protecting the eight major families.I am no longer a member of the Li clan, but a servant who serves the ancestors of the Eight Great Families, and I am also the person sent by the ancestors to protect the Eight Great Families.It is my duty to dedicate myself to the clansmen of the eight major families, and I must not judge them by personal feelings. ”"I didn't expect that at such a young age, Miss Li lived so transparently."
Mrs.
Wu praised it sincerely, and secretly decided to come to the Pavilion more in the future to get closer to Li Haitang."
Second Lady Xie Wu."
Li Haitang's face was slightly red.These are all the coping strategies that Zhuge Yi simply taught her before, although she has a small credit for drawing inferences, but Zhuge Yi is like a god shocked her."
Big girl."
Sister-in-law Li went and returned, followed by ten old women, carrying three large boxes in."
Big girl, Miss Mian said that these are New Year's gifts, please accept them according to the rules.As for the kindness of sheltering her mother and daughter, after the second master Li was buried in the ground, Mrs.
Li Yan and her sisters would personally come to kowtow and thank her. ”"Okay, got it."
Li Haitang raised his hand and instructed Yang Yanyan beside him: "You will receive the New Year's gift to the treasury, send a proper person to guard it, and then seal the box after I go to inspect it later." ”Sister-in-law Yang bent her knees, answered "yes", and together with Sister-in-law Li, she led ten old women to carry three boxes out.Li Haitang held her chin with a "tired" look, Mrs.
Mo and Mrs.
Wu met their eyes, and the two slowly got up."
There are still some things in the mansion that are not finished, and I will go to the Li's South Mansion to see Mrs.
Li Yan later.Then I'......
I took my leave. ”Mrs.
Mo bowed her chin and was helped away by the old sister-in-law who served her closely.Mrs.
Wu originally wanted to say something close to Li Haitang alone, but now is not a good time.I had to go through the Ten Thousand Blessings Ceremony and leave with a depressed face.() Glory to the end
