You are back

Chapter 87
"Thank you." Li Yan thanked her in a low voice, and Aunt Su moved closer to Li Yan, "Miss, there is something else I need to tell you. The first thing is about this courtyard. This courtyard is one of the best among the Li family."

Nanny Su paused, and Li Yan blurted out, "What's in this yard..."

"Let me just say that Missy is a smart person. This courtyard was lived by Miss Li San, the daughter of Li Xiangguo. When the empire fell at the end of the previous dynasty and the Li family fell, the third lady brought seven or eight personal attendants. My girl, she closed the door and died in this yard." Madam Su only vaguely said that she died in the yard, but she didn't dare to say that she died in the five upper rooms where they are now staying.

"The third lady is a fierce person. It is said that she killed a few girls first, and then wiped the necks herself. Well, speaking of it, many people died in the disaster of the Li family back then, but the only ones who committed suicide were the little ones. Li Xiangguo, there is only this third lady, no wonder little Li Xiangguo loved this third lady the most." Madam Su slowly twisted the prayer beads in her hand, she didn't want to say these gossips, but she had to.

"No one lived in it later, did ghosts haunt this yard or something?" Li Yan asked very clearly, and Su Momo subconsciously glanced around and nodded, "Lingzu later asked people to take this room away. The courtyard was refurbished, and it was said to be used for reading, but it was not moved in afterwards.”

Li Yan turned her head and looked around. In the past, she did not believe in the way of ghosts and gods. Now, she is a little confused...

"Miss, don't worry too much. Firstly, there are many people in this yard, and secondly, the evil is always overwhelming." Madam Su looked at Li Yan, who was looking around, and persuaded a little out of bounds.

"I'm not afraid of this." Li Yan replied, "Mama, I don't read much, so tell me, what can I do in the future?"

Aunt Su was startled by her question, "What did the eldest lady say? I didn't quite understand. Is the way out that the eldest lady said in this house? Or outside the house?"

"Outside." Li Yan looked at Madam Su.

"That means getting married?" Nanny Su seemed to be relieved, "Is the eldest lady worried that it will be difficult to marry into a good family in this situation?"

"No." Li Yan considered what to say, "With my status, I am suddenly a thorn in this house. They feel uncomfortable, and so do I. This thorn cannot be removed, it can only be removed. If I dial it out, where can I go? Is there any other way out besides getting married?"

"Since the eldest lady can understand this, she must have come back because she had no other choice. There is no way out in the outside world, so what is the way out in the capital? Fortunately, the eldest lady is not young anymore. After the New Year, she can quickly settle down with someone and hurry up. Just get married next year, and it will be fine, and it will be your own home." Aunt Su comforted Li Yan with some confusion. Since she thought so clearly, why did she still ask such a question?

Li Yan was speechless, and after a while he reluctantly asked: "What about becoming a monk? Are there many taboos for becoming a monk? Is there anyone who wears hair to practice?"

"Miss." Madam Su laughed, "My lady, unless you have suffered some serious illness or undergone some major changes, how can you become a monk and practice? Besides, if you are a monk in such a situation as Miss, what will happen to the world?" About Mrs. Chen? About this Li family? How could it be possible for you to become a monk?"

Su Momo looked at Li Yan, who was frowning tightly, and felt more confused, "Miss, what's the secret? Missy's plans are a little different."

"It's nothing." Li Yan immediately realized that he was too different. "I have been following my uncle around to do business. I feel a little uncomfortable thinking that I will have to stay in this small square courtyard and not be able to go anywhere."

Su Momo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed, "That's true. There is a woman in our house. She was only two years old when her mother died. Her father was a messenger in the house. He loved the child and carried her behind his back." Sending letters all over the world, and later this woman grew up and got married, and lived at home for less than two years before she fell ill and said that every day was like going to jail."

"I am similar." Li Yan was a little grateful. The thoughtfulness of this Madam Su was really touching.

"Missy is a sensible person, so I will tell you what to say. Ninety-nine out of ten women in the world live their whole lives in this backyard. However, there are exceptions, such as the eldest princess, who is eighteen or nineteen years old. At that time, she said that there was no man she wanted to marry in the world, and if she said she would not marry, she would not marry. She was named the eldest princess of Yongle, opened a mansion and built a government office, and Prince Yitong followed the empress dowager as a counselor for government affairs. Who dared to say no? Later Emperor Taizong's mausoleum collapsed, and the eldest princess accompanied the Changsha king to the kingdom, and watched the Changsha king grow up in peace, get married and have children, just doing what men do."

Su Momo looked at Li Yan with a smile on her face, "There are many royal princesses, but not many like the eldest princess. This is because people have skills, no matter men or women, they have no skills, they have skills, they have great skills, but they can be big." no the same."

"I understand." Li Yan said these three words a little feebly. She didn't have such ability. If she didn't, then don't think too much.

Su Momo said a few more words, and left. Li Yan leaned on the couch, lost her mind for a while, closed her eyes, Yushu came in, took the thin quilt lightly, and covered her body .

"Jade tree."

"Huh?" Yushu hurriedly responded, but Li Yan didn't open his eyes, "I feel that when we came to Li's house, we seemed to have thrown ourselves into a trap. Once we got into this net, we were going to go out again...it seemed like we couldn't get out. ..."

…………

In the Pei Mansion not far from Li's house, Pei Qingduan sat behind the long desk, writing something fluently while listening to the management: "The Li Mansion...is placed in Yutan Courtyard, there is no movement, it is said that it will be tomorrow Opening the ancestral hall... In the palace, the eldest princess entered the palace as soon as the court was over. I heard that the emperor summoned her, and she didn't come out until the beginning of the week... Before and after, Empress Wu sent her servants to Chen's house to deliver something, like basins. Camellia... At noon, the First Prince took the Second Prince to Guangde Building for dinner, and went out to watch a play in Wazi, Nancheng. After watching a play, Empress Wu sent someone to summon them, and the two went back."

"Watching a show? What show are you watching?" Pei Qing stopped writing in his hand, looked at the steward and asked.

"Master Hui, he is the judge played by the Yao family's team." The steward replied hastily.

Pei Qing snorted, then turned to look at Sun Rong who was standing at the end of the long table with his hands down, "It's really sincere."

"That's right, the play of the judge is very lively, and there is no child who doesn't like it." Sun Rong leaned forward and smiled.

Pei Qing stood up, waved, the steward hurriedly dropped his hands and exited, Pei Qing walked to the window with his hands behind his back, opened the window, looked at the withered vines and trees outside, after a while, sighed softly, "It's too peaceful now It has been more than 30 years, and this peace is about to come to an end.”
