Chapter 327 Small talk
"Madam Wan called a few old madams to watch, but the girl said it was too late and Qiu Mei had drunk too much, otherwise she wouldn't have to grab me and drink." Shui Lian looked helpless, "When I came, Qiu Mei was slapped in her face and wanted to sing a martial arts student for everyone."
"Tell me about Madam Wan. When she is excited, it will be fine tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Let Madam Wan ask, Dong Rou and Xia Xian, ask them what their plans are. If you want to stay, ask Madam Wan to arrange a mission. If you want to go home, you will give two hundred taels of dowry and send them home. Qiu Mei, Madam Wan also knows about her cousin, and asks her what she means."
Li Tong told Shui Lian, and Shui Lian agreed, "There is another thing. Madam Wan came to ask once in the afternoon. The girl was asleep and nagged me a few words, what should I do about Chunyan's body contract? "
"When Jiang Huanzhang comes back, let Madam Wan hand it to Jiang Huanzhang himself." After a moment of silence, Li Tong ordered.
"Yeah." Shui Lian responded, "Madam Wan said that Chunyan was stupid and worried about Chunyan. I heard that Miss Qu had been in the capital for only a few months. She had already booked dozens of sets of clothes from the Essay Shop. Because she was a big family, our shop sent someone to come here to take the material style for her to choose. Madam Wan said that all the officials who have been there said that Madam Qu has a very bad temper and is ruthless. Madam Hong said that when she went there, the little girl who was serving next to her was distracted from the clothes. Madam Qu reached out and didn't get the teacup. She turned her face at that time, and raised her hand to knock the tray in the little girl's hand away, and tugged it on the little girl with a hairpin. Madam Hong said that Madam Qu had just pulled her hair down and pierced it half an inch deep. The little girl called out at that time. Madam Hong said that she was so scared that her legs were weak."
Li Tong thought about what Ning Yuan said, and this girl Qu could suffocate her to death, and a hairpin was about half an inch deep, which was nothing. As for Chunyan, since she made a choice, she would naturally bear the consequences herself.
Seeing that Li Tong didn't say anything, Shui Lian stopped mentioning this matter.
Mrs. Zhang entered the city early in the morning. Since the Ministry of Rites had been sentenced, Li Xin took the dowry list to settle the dowry. If he didn't get back, he wrote documents with the Jiang clan to the government to file. Mrs. Zhang went to count the shops and villages that could be recovered. These things were not something that could be done in one day, and he didn't go back to Wisteria Villa at night.
Li Tong took a comfortable shower, ate alone, took Madam Wan and several other women in charge to check it out, returned to her yard, picked up the scriptures, and was about to copy it, but Shu Lian screamed halfway. Li Tong turned around, Wei Fengniang was looking at Shu Lian with dissatisfaction, "This is not the first time, what are your name?"
"This aunt! Can you come in through the door next time? Can you say hello before coming in? Can you not be like a thief?" Shui Lian was even more angry. She suddenly emerged from behind her and said what her name was. How could she be like this?
"I'm a thief." Wei Fengniang looked calm and bowed to Li Tong, "Miss Li, my seventh master said I have something to tell you."
Li Tong stood up, changed his shoes, asked Shuilian to take a small thick cloak and put it on, went out of the door, and turned into the back garden.
In the flower hall in the back garden, there were two wine jars on the stone table in the middle of the hall. Ning Yuan sat on the goose-neck chair, holding the wine glass with one hand. When he saw Li Tong coming in, he didn't get up. He smiled and signaled her to sit.
"I brought wine to you and congratulate you on getting free from the Jiang family." Ning Yuan handed another cup to Li Tong.
"Thank you, forget about the wine." Li Tong took the cup and put it on the table. "I drank a few more glasses with the eldest princess in the morning, but I haven't woken up yet."
"Just one glass." Ning Yuan stood up and picked up the jar of wine and filled it with wine. "It's okay if you don't drink it. I specially brought these two jars of wine to congratulate you. As a result, I drank it alone. How bad is it. If you hold the cup, it's also our drinks."
"Okay." Li Tong picked up the cup, raised it to Ning Yuan, and pursed it to his lips.
Ning Yuan raised it, drank it all, carried the wine jar in one hand, sat back on the gooseneck chair, looked up and down Li Tong, "It looked a little radiant."
"Why!" Li Tong laughed.
"How old are you this year?" Ning Yuan leaned forward and suddenly asked. Li Tong glanced at him without answering.
"Nineteen?" Ning Yuan asked and answered, "I'm twenty-two. When I saw you the previous few times, I always felt like you were older than me. This time, you must be younger than me! I never felt wrong, so this time, you were very different from before."
"This time I still think I am older than you, and much larger." Li Tong was serious, and she was telling the truth.
"Look, I don't want to lose a word, this one is different from before."
Li Tong was stunned for a moment, then smiled. She was indeed in a very relaxed and happy mood. OK, she would not argue with him anymore.
"You come to me, what's wrong?" Li Tong changed the topic.
"I'll congratulate you to smash the gold lock and return to the sea. This is a big deal!"
"That's it? Nothing else? Why does this little thing cost you this trip?" Li Tong raised the wine glass in his hand. He was responsible. It was like walking in the mud. Just to congratulate her on a trip?
"Come to talk to you." Ning Yuan drank another glass and filled it up again, "I brought this wine from my home. On our North Third Road, there have been a few heavy snowfalls now, and it is frozen everywhere."
"Did you miss home?" Li Tong looked at Ning Yuan with some pity.
"A little bit." After a while, Ning Yuan sighed and admitted, "The New Year is coming soon." This year, he is going to celebrate the New Year alone.
"There are not many people in the Ning clan, and the New Year is not very lively." Ning Yuan drank and said, "When I was a child, from the time I sacrificed my stove to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I didn't have to go to school for a month, and I could reduce it by half even if I practiced my skills. I could sleep for half an hour in the morning. I was quite looking forward to the New Year. Later, I became older and I didn't even have this hope."
Li Tong was a little surprised to hear that when she was a child, she could hardly remember what happened.
"When I was a child, I hated practicing qi most, and I hated being pulled up in the middle of the night to stand up and stance while practicing qi. My father asked my elder sister, brother and second brother to take turns to look at me. My second brother was the softest. As long as I cried, he would let me go. After crying for a while, he could take down my elder sister. My elder brother was afraid of my elder sister, so I didn't have to worry about my elder brother. Later, my father found out and punished my elder sister, brother, and second brother to kneel down to the ancestral hall, saying that he wanted to drown me."
"Then have you practiced your kung fu?" Li Tong asked.
