173 Meeting 2
After listening to Gouzi's words, Li You shook his head and led him out of the inner house.
At this time, the carriage had stopped in the front yard. Xiao Qixue was looking at the garden here with Princess Xincheng Li Min and Du Siyan, the daughter of the Du family. The scene in the garden was indeed a bit horrible, and she was used to seeing famous flowers. The grassy women also shook their heads a little.
The weeds here have taken up the entire garden. At first glance, no one has touched the garden for a long time. It is difficult for them to understand how a person like Li You can be regarded as a well-educated person, so he can bear it. This kind of weedy garden, in their opinion, any real scribes would definitely deal with it again.
"Sister Qixue, if I hadn't seen Li You only learn that day, I really can't believe that he could endure such a scene."
"Sister Min'er, this may be what makes Li You different from others. I am fortunate to be here with you today. I really want to see if Li You really is as rumored, is he really long and handsome?"
Xiao Qixue actually smiled and said, "Hehe, Sister Siyan, haven't you already been engaged to the Lu family? No matter how good-looking man, wouldn't you have your share?"
Du Siyan glanced at Xiao Qixue strangely, and said a little sullenly: "This is what I mean, what should I do? Sister Min'er is a princess, isn't it the same! The three of us are the best of you. , The family didn’t hire you, but you are coming soon, but I heard from Jia Weng that the Cui family intends to marry your Xiao family."

Xiao Qixue didn't know the news. Now that she heard it suddenly, she looked at Du Siyan without speaking for a while in amazement. She finally asked, "Siyan, are you telling the truth?"
"Yixue, Aweng said, the Cui family intends to let Cui Hongxi, the son of the servant Cui Shi Lang, be married to your Xiao family."
As soon as Du Siyan finished speaking, Xiao Qixue's whole person was not good. Not only she, but even Princess Xincheng was shocked. Cui Hongxi was even more unbearable than Duguming, who was about to marry. He's a well-known eroticist. Now he is only twenty-two years old, and his family has accepted eight-room concubines. Even so, he will go outside to be romantic from time to time.
Xiao Qixue thought about it for a while and said, "My dad will definitely not accept this marriage. Besides, I have just turned fifteen. How could dad marry me so early?"
There is nothing wrong with what she said. Generally, women are married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. However, it is usually one or two years later for the daughters of official families or aristocratic families, and most of them wait until their daughters are seventeen. Marriage, after all, premature marriage, there is a great risk when giving birth to a child.
"What Sister Qixue said is extremely true. I am afraid that Elder Xiao Ge will not respond. After all, this Cui Hongxi is too unbearable. Okay, let's not talk about this topic too much, so as not to be upset."
After Li Min finished speaking, Xiao Qixue also smiled. At this moment, Li You came over with the dog.
"Good lady Xiao, good two ladies!" Li You stepped forward and greeted the three of them.
Li You just wore a white robe casually today. His hair was not coiled up, but just draped behind him. He only tied the ends of the hair with a silk tie, and the hair on his forehead fell naturally. On the left and right cheeks, a bookish Li You appeared in front of the three of them. Coupled with his fascinating heroism, Du Siyan never looked away from his face.
Don't talk about her, Li Min and Xiao Qixue are almost the same. Li You was originally good-looking, and now that she is like this, any girl who is pregnant with spring will look at her.
Li Min opened his mouth and said, "General Li, coming here today, I would like to disturb you. I hope General Li will not be surprised."
"This lady, you don’t have to say that. Even if Lady Xiao is a friend of Xia, since she brought you here, Xia Xia will definitely treat the two of you as friends. Please come inside! Li Zhen, ask the girls to have some good tea. Go to the back house and prepare more dried fruits."
"Yes, young master."
At this time, Li Min said to the two court ladies and two servants driving behind him: "You are waiting here."
"Yes, my lord."
The four people entered the inner house. It was still similar to the front yard. There were weeds everywhere in the garden. Xiao Qixue said, "Li You, why don't you clean it up here? The gardens of these two yards are full of weeds. Weeds."
Li You smiled and said, "I'm still taking a break here. If I want to deal with it all, I'm afraid it will be next month. You should have seen the small courtyard full of craftsmen in the front yard. You have to wait for them. I will transplant some good flowers and plants here after I finish it, but it won’t look like this in the future. Now the only better place here is the back house. I hope the three ladies don’t dislike it.”
Generally speaking, when guests arrive, they are received in the inner house, and they are basically not led to the back house. This is a very private place. Li You is now taking them into the back house, which is unreasonable, so Li You just explained in his words. Now the lobby of the inner house is not well organized. The three of them are not like Su Yang and Chen Fan, so they can only be brought to the back house. New Bayi Chinese website debut
Li You brought the three of them into the living room, which is quite different from other places. The most conspicuous thing is the sofa surrounded by a long low table on three sides. The shape is very strange, but I have to say that it is really very sitting up. It's soft, and it's really comfortable to lean on.
After sitting down, Li You just asked: "Lady Xiao, come to me today, what's the matter?"
Xiao Qixue remained the same, smiled at Li You, and said: "We are here to buy things. Your Li family's things are well-known in the capital."
"This time I brought the native soldiers into Beijing, but I didn’t come here to do business. I really don’t have what you want, but you can try the mullet roe later. I brought some here. ."
"It's okay. Anyway, this thing is extremely expensive. Since you treat me, I won't refuse."
The maids brought the tea and preserved fruit and left. Xiao Qixue introduced to Li You again: "Li You, this is the granddaughter of Du Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, Lady Du, this is the daughter of your majesty, and she has become a princess. "
Li You was very natural to hold a fist and bow to the two of them. This performance made Li Min a little surprised. She is an emperor. Most people see that she may not even speak clearly, and even the courtiers are a little cowered. Li You are a commoner of the merchants, and it is hard for her to imagine how Li You can do this without being surprised.
"When I was in Yangzhou, although I didn't have too much contact with Lady Xiao, she is still a regular visitor of my Li family. Today, Lady Du and Princess Xincheng will come and treat them as friends, please!" After Li You finished speaking, he brought tea and respected the two of them.
After a sip of the tea, Princess Xincheng said, "General Li, it seems that sister Xiao has not made a mistake. Your stuff is really good. You can taste this tea."
"The princess is overwhelmed. If the princess likes it, I will prepare some for the princess later."
"Thank you General Li, then." (End of this chapter)
