In the twelfth lunar month, the sky has snowed again in the past few days, and the north wind is blowing so hard that people will be shivering with cold when they go out.
Li Cheng went out in the morning, and several classmates invited him to watch the ice skating. On the ice rink, he ran into the eldest prince. At that time, the eldest prince was about to get into the carriage, but the other party just ignored Li Cheng. He glanced at him and said nothing.
Li Cheng and the others bowed their hands in salute, and turned sideways to give way to the car.
It's just that I didn't expect the eldest prince to leave, but that Miss Wu in Wujiatun, the eldest prince's current concubine, did not leave.
She was accompanied by four maids to serve her. She had just come out of the ice rink, holding this small heater in her hand.
As soon as he saw Li Chengze, he snorted coldly and proudly, walked up to him and stopped, and said slowly: "Long time no see, Mr. Li is fine."
Li Cheng ignored her, but there was some loose contempt in his eyes.
Miss Wu is not happy, she is now the eldest prince's concubine, why does this person look down on her
She sneered in her heart, in her dream, Li Chengze would be an extremely personable official and official, but isn't this not yet accomplished
The eldest prince repeatedly signaled him to surrender, but he refused in every possible way. How could such an eldest prince tolerate him
No matter how powerful you will be in the future, but now you are just a small commoner, without even an official position. If the eldest prince wants to deal with him, it is easier than crushing an ant.
In the past, I still thought about marrying him, and when he was promising in the future, I would be able to live a prosperous, rich and respected life based on my husband's honor.
Miss Wu raised her eyebrows, she really wanted to go out of her way, and she knew that there was a great shortcut in front of her, that is, as it is now, to match up with the eldest prince, who is the son of a dragon and a phoenix, and has her own help Well, the eldest prince will not worry about not being able to ascend to that position in the future, but only by himself can he reach the sky in one step, at least he has to be named a concubine.
After thinking about it, Miss Wu couldn't help but taunted Li Chengze, "Mr. Li is living a leisurely life these days. I heard that Mrs. Zun gave birth to a daughter. Then Mr. Li, please watch closely and don't look back. It won’t be beautiful if anything happens.”
"Miss Wu be careful, if you say such things again, don't blame me for being rude!"
Miss Wu curled her lips, rolled her eyes and left.
She said it on purpose, in her dream Gu Qingci would obviously die. Because of her early death, she didn't enjoy any blessings when Li Chengze was an extremely human minister.
But until now, for some reason, Gu Qingci is still alive and well.
Miss Wu felt a little anxious, she was afraid that her dreams would be inaccurate, if there was no such support for foreseeing the future, how could the First Prince always love her
She could see this clearly.
Miss Wu's superficial thoughts are completely on her face, and she can't hide them. Naturally, Li Cheng will not be confused by her few words.
I sneered in my heart, what can a dream represent, everything in the world is changing all the time, maybe it's just because of a small change, everything will change accordingly. This is the butterfly effect.
Ms. Wu is not a god, and I'm afraid she doesn't have that great ability to decide the future life and death of a person.
To put it bluntly, her reliance is nothing but an illusory thing.
But Li Cheng really hated the eldest prince even more.
He was thinking, in the future, the eldest prince must not sit in that position, otherwise he would definitely not end well.
Li Chengze was also very helpless in his heart, and sighed repeatedly.
Originally, a small family like the Li family had nothing to do with such things as standing in line for the throne.
However, the reality is that you can never predict the direction things will develop in. Only when you have gone step by step can you have a chance to feel the same.
Because she married Gu Qingci, and because she happened to unlock a mechanism lock, everything changed after that...
And at the moment when the eldest prince wooed him and he refused, with the eldest prince's narrow-minded temperament, Li Cheng could no longer be able to protect himself wisely without regard to his own affairs.
Li Cheng lowered his head and slowly rubbed the jade in his inner hand.
He will not be afraid, and he will be responsible for every step he takes.
—
The snow did not stop, and it rained again every two days, and it became more and more humid in the future.
When you go out, you will be soaked in rain, and the corners of your shoes and skirts are full of mud.
There was another downpour in the evening, and it fell with a clatter, and it didn't look like it was going to stop anytime soon.
It was warm in Li's house, and a few pots of charcoal were burned, but the sound of rain outside was disturbing.
The room was somewhat dampened.
Li Cheng came back from the outside, put away the umbrella and put it under the edge of the door, but his clothes were mostly wet, he kicked his feet outside, and then took off his cloak.
The servant girl quickly came over to pick it up, and took it to another room to dry.
After changing into dry clothes, washing his hands with hot water and wiping his face, Li Cheng went to the back room.
In the warm pavilion, Gu Qingci was playing with tying flowers. She was sitting on one side of the warm kang, and on the other side, the eldest sister was wrapped in the innermost place, and Feng Rusi was sitting next to her.
Feng Rusi was still holding a book in his hand, and he didn't read it very seriously. He read it for a while, then turned his head to look at the eldest sister, and even talked to the eldest sister.
The warmth of a room.
Gu Qingci is actually very easy to get along with, and his temper is not too bad, as long as he doesn't annoy her.
Feng Rusi has been raised in the Westinghouse for such a long time, Gu Qingci has long regarded the child as a family.
Now that Feng Ru seems to like the eldest sister again, Gu Qingci couldn't wish for it, and put the two of them together to play, just to be companions.
I also thought in my heart that the eldest sister is a girl, and it would be a good thing to have such a brother to protect her when she grows up.
Li Cheng looked at their wives, doing their own things, without raising their eyes while talking, which made people feel warm in their hearts.
After looking at it for a while, he strode in and first warmed himself on the charcoal basin in the corner.
Gu Qingci raised his head when he heard the voice, and when he saw it, he bent his eyes: "My husband is back, it's raining heavily outside, is he wet? Should I ask Yuzhu to bring a bowl of ginger soup, and don't turn around and catch a cold."
While talking, she moved in to make room for Li Cheng, "It's warm here, come and sit here, my lord."
Li Cheng smiled: "It's okay, I've changed my clothes." After a pause, he said: "But you haven't had dinner yet?"
Gu Qingci threw aside a beautiful bead flower in his hand, turned his head to look at the colander not far away, and said, "It's already this hour."
In fact, it gets dark early in winter, but the few people sitting there didn’t feel it. Yuzhu looked at the sky outside, and as soon as it got dark, she immediately turned on several lamps, so the room was always brightly lit. Nor is it surprising.
The reason why Yuzhu and the others didn't remind them was because they knew that grandma had to wait for grandpa to come home to have meals together every day.
Gu Qingci asked: "Is it like you are hungry?"
Feng Rusi put down the book, thought for a while, and then nodded.
Gu Qingci laughed all of a sudden, then turned to Yu Chuan and said, "Tell the kitchen to pass the meal."
"Yes, grandma."
Li Cheng sat next to Gu Qingci, looked at the eldest sister, saw her sleeping with her eyes closed, her face was flushed, and there was a scent of baby's milk.
He asked, "Why did you bring Kangkang here?"
Gu Qingci replied: "I just woke up and hugged her. Although Kangkang doesn't make trouble, he likes to play with people. Now he likes Si'er the most. Si'er goes to see her in her room every day. She recognizes people. I want someone to hug me with my small hands."
Feng Ru seemed a little shy when she heard this, she pursed her lips, and after a while, she whispered, "Kangkang is very good."
Li Cheng smiled in a low voice, "Xian'er is also very well-behaved, he is a good brother."
It was cold, so the few people didn't move, they cleared away the things on the kang table, and directly brought the food here.
But first ask the nanny to take the eldest sister back to the house and go to sleep.
The aroma of the hot food was tangy, and the two adults and one teenager had good eating habits, chewing silently, chewing slowly, and occasionally saying a few words.
After dinner, Feng Rushi asked An to go back to his room.
There was a child who was raining heavily outside, and Li Cheng was afraid that he would get sick if he got wet, so he asked his maid to take him there.
In the evening, Li Cheng and Gu Qingci talked in the dormitory after washing.
Gu Qingci said: "A few days ago, the old lady of the Luo family came over, and what she said vaguely meant that she took a fancy to the younger sister and wanted to hire her back as a housewife."
Li Cheng raised his eyebrows, "What did grandma say?"
"Grandmother must have seen it first, so she just shook her head and refused, saying that this rough girl in our family who doesn't know a whole lot of characters is not good enough for Luo Shengli, and that Luo Shengli is about to take an exam soon, and she is waiting." It's the Gongshi Jinshi, and Li Chan really can't make it up."
"Grandmother's words sound sincere, Mrs. Luo shouldn't have any lumps in her heart." Gu Qingci said.
Li Cheng nodded: "It's fine if you refuse, don't say anything else, he and my younger sister have met Shengli several times, it seems that they don't like it, there is no reason to force it."
Gu Qingci: "I think grandma has a good idea, and she has no intention of marrying the Luo family. She has shown a few families to my younger sister, and I guess it is almost settled."
"Shengli..." Li Cheng pondered for a moment, and then said: "I think he is a very assertive person. I am afraid that he has his own agenda in his heart, and Mrs. Luo's meddling in this way will easily lead to bad things."
Li Cheng judged people very accurately, Luo Shengli did have his own plans long ago, he was not in a hurry about the marriage, no matter what, he had to wait for Chunwei to pass.
But Mrs. Luo doesn't think so. He sees his grandson wasting away for so many years, and now he is still alone. There is no one to talk to at night. , thinking that it would be best to settle it before the year.
Originally, she took a fancy to Li Chan. Li Chan has a good personality, soft and gentle, and she is good at work. Such a girl is very suitable for life. Furthermore, the two families know each other well, and nothing bad will happen to them. If they can form an in-law relationship, their relationship will only be better.
She had a good idea, but Mrs. Sun didn't have this idea, so she had to give up in the end.
Although she was desperate, she still felt it was a pity, so Mrs. Luo couldn't help muttering a few words at home.
When Luo Shengli heard it, he was very surprised, and then he couldn't laugh or cry.
Afterwards, he seriously but helplessly said to Mrs. Luo: "Grandmother, I have always only regarded the girl from the Li family as my younger sister, and I have no other ideas. Grandmother must not make random matches in the future. The grandson has his own rules in his heart."
The old lady Luo looked sad, and said: "You are old, you have read a lot, and you are sensible, but the marriage has been ups and downs, how can grandma feel relieved, you are the only one left in our Luo family, don't look at the marriage Wife and child, I'm afraid I won't be able to close my eyes even if I die."
"Grandmother." Luo Shengli's voice was deep, he sighed for a while, and said slowly, "...let's wait until after the Spring Festival."
