Porcelain Yu Town, Pavilion.Li Haitang and Wu Yinling moved into the intact West Cross Courtyard to live, and burned half of the East Cross Courtyard to live in for the maids and old sisters-in-law.Yang Changyan, Li Changchang and Liu Erniang temporarily live in the back cover room in the backyard of the East Cross Courtyard.Coming back from Dongcheng Tower, Li Haitang stayed awake all night, not knowing if Zhuge Yi woke up.She calculated the distance between Ciyu Town and Yanxia Town, and sent guards every two hours to inquire about the news.Although she didn't know how the guards would pass the message between them, she believed that there was always a way to know the situation between the two sides as quickly as possible.During the day, he was busy rebuilding the Pavilion, and Li Haitang didn't have the extra heart to notice why the guards sent out had not returned.She didn't realize until night came again.There were a few simple dishes for dinner, and Liu Erniang lost her beloved kitchen, and cooking was boring.The light japonica rice porridge is boiled into thick rice cereal, and the two appetizers cooked are bland and tasteless.Yang Yanyan was so angry that she wanted to go to Liu Erniang to settle the account, but was stopped by Wu Yinling.Li Haitang is worried about Zhuge Yi's safety, even if Liu Erniang makes dragon meat, he doesn't know how to eat it.A bowl of porridge was messed up, holding his full stomach and leaning on a few to eat, thinking about why the guards sent out hadn't come back, could it be that he was detained in the cold hall by Ling Ye, afraid that she would know bad news about the master?"
Sister-in-law Yang, will Master ......
No, no, no, Master is blessed with great fortune, and he will turn evil into good fortune. ”"Don't worry, the big girl, the guards sent out haven't come back, which means it's a good thing."
Yang Yan's sister came over with a tea set and called Qingluo to help Wu Yinling clean her hands.Li Haitang got off the kang angrily, pushed the door and stood under the eaves to summon the leader of the secret guard, and asked angrily: "Haven't the people from the cold hall come yet?"
”"Little master, don't be impatient, wait a minute!
Wait!
”The leader of the dark guard was bitter in his heart, why did the master leave him to protect the little master.The arrogant temper of the little master didn't even dare to provoke the master and Lingye, but it hurt him."
Big girl, the second old lady of the Li clan asks to see you.People were already waiting in the east side hall of the front yard, and the deacon's old concubine told the old slave to come and pay respects. ”Sister-in-law Li came from the middle courtyard of the Pavilion to pray, and Li Haitang twisted her eyebrows and was displeased."
What is the second old lady here to do?""
The old slave didn't dare to ask, but it can be seen that the second old lady Li is holding a brocade box in his hand, and it seems that he is here to give gifts."
Sister-in-law Li replied truthfully, the brocade box was quite big, and it seemed to be very heavy in the hands of the second old lady Li.Li Haitang sighed, turned around and went into the house to change her dress, and muttered: "Why are the affairs of the Li clan endless, it annoys me." ”Yang asked Qingluo to pick up a plain dress, and she said while taking off her jacket for Haitang: "When the eldest prince Li comes back from Jiangnan, the eldest girl can even leave the matter of rebuilding the palace to him."
When the time comes, let the eldest prince Li fight with the second master of Li, and the eldest girl can go to Yanxia Town to accompany Mr.
Painter to recuperate. ”Li Haitang nodded happily, "Yes, yes, Yang is right."
When Brother Shen came back, I immediately packed up my baggage and went to Yanxia Town, so that I would not be wronged here. ”"Big girl, bear with me.""
Okay."
After Yang Yan's persuasion, the haze was swept away.Changed into a plain silver inlay jacket skirt and put on a half-worn cotton cloak, Li Haitang led Qingluo to the west side hall in the front yard of the Xiqiao Pavilion to see the second old lady Li.In the front yard of the Pavilion, there is a magnificent hall of ten zhang high, which is named: Pavilion.And equipped with the east and west side halls, the east side hall is called the Chaoxia Palace; The west side hall is called the Twilight Palace.The east is yang, the west is yin, so when worshipping the ancestors, the men of the eight clans enter the east side hall, and the women enter the west side hall.At this time, the second old lady Li stood at the door of the east side hall, holding an ebony dragon head crutch in both hands and staring at the magnificent hall towering into the night."
In winter, the wind is cold and the night is cold, and the second old lady Li can just send a small servant to spread the word if he has something, not to mention coming from afar.If I catch the cold, it's my sin. ”Li Haitang was helped by Qingluo, and when she saw the second old lady Li standing at the door, she immediately ordered Qingluo to prepare more charcoal pots and warm ginger soup.Qingluo agreed, and Li Haitang personally helped the second old lady Li into a small cubicle in the west hall."
I heard that Yunzi girl burned down the Xianzi Pavilion where Feng Xian's daughter lived, and she didn't even save a replacement cotton jacket.I saw that there were still a few pieces at home that I could wear, so I delivered them myself. ”The second old lady Li sat down and explained, and the crutches in his hand pointed to the big brocade box on the kang opposite."
Thank you, Second Old Lady Li, for still thinking about me.Begonia thanks. ”Li Haitang performed the blessing ceremony, sat on the edge of the kang and was not in a hurry to open the brocade box.According to her superficial understanding of the second old lady Li, this old man is more refined than a fox and more fierce than a wolf.As the saying goes, when a night owl enters the house, nothing will come.The second old lady Li, who had never been involved in the affairs of the Li clan, actually came to give gifts late at night, and his abnormal behavior was really suspicious.The old man and the young were silent until Qingluo led the two old women to put the four charcoal pots on the legs of Haitang and the second old lady Li, and personally held the ginger soup for the two."
Let's get out first."
Li Haitang pinched a small silver spoon and scooped the thick and spicy ginger soup, and her apricot eyes were drooping and it was difficult to detect her expression.But from the light tone, he already knew the intention of the second old lady Li.The second old lady Li was silent, drank a few sips of ginger soup, and praised the boiled ginger soup is very unique, smelling spicy and sweet, which shows the chef's superb cooking skills.Qingluo withdrew from the cubicle and guarded the door, the second old lady Li put down the ginger soup bowl, cleared her throat and coughed twice, and said, "Zhuge Zibo and Yanxia Town Lingye joined forces to get rid of the nest of the four brothers of the patriarch, do you know?"
”Li Haitang put down the small silver spoon and asked unhappily, "Second Old Lady Li thinks I also have a share?"
”"Hahaha, don't you have a share?"
The second old lady asked rhetorically.Li Haitang drank the ginger soup in one gulp, and the empty bowl fell directly to the ground and shattered."
You, what do you mean?"
The second old lady Li was embarrassed and angry."
Huh."
Li Haitang sneered disdainfully, looking down at his ten fingers as delicate as spring shoots, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.There was silence for a moment, and when the second old lady Li couldn't bear it anymore and was about to question, she said with a straight face: "Is the second old lady Li really a fool for me, can't you see the purpose of your coming?"
”"What is my purpose?""
Take me hostage, force the master and Ling Ye to let go of Patriarch Li, and not participate in the struggle for power between Patriarch Li and the three masters.Second old lady Li, am I right?
”Li Haitang was majestic and high-spirited, and he said the scheming of the second old lady Li word for word.The second old lady Li sighed with a smile: "Yes, I came here today to threaten you to be obedient, otherwise Zhuge Zibo will never want to return to Ciyu Town."
As for the struggle for power between the four brothers of the Li patriarch, it is a family matter of the Li clan. ”"I can promise that the second old lady Li will no longer participate in the struggle for power.However, how is the second old lady Li going to suppress the increasingly powerful second master Li?
”Li Haitang is curious about what kind of domineering behavior this old fox who lives in seclusion will make when he re-emerges from the mountain?
The second old lady Li's eyes flashed with a cunning light, and he said bluntly: "If you go outside, you must first settle inside." ”"Hehe, what a bad strategy."
An inopportune ridicule came from the back window, which frightened Li Haitang and made the second old lady Li feel numb.() Glory to the end
