boudoir

Chapter 391
Of course, Little Dulu didn't just hug anyone who had something delicious to eat. Sometimes when people like Du Rui came, he would shake his chubby little body and laugh and pounce on them, then put his arms around their necks and kissed them all the way.But if someone he doesn't know wants to hug him, such as Mrs. Mei, no matter how delicious they are, he will unceremoniously put his hands behind his back and walk away like an old man.Neither intimate nor overly rude.

Du Rui has no intention of getting married so far, but he increasingly regards Little Dulu as his heart.When he was one year old, Qi Yunhao proposed to make him Xiaodulu's godfather.He has gone to the mansion more times now, and the relationship with Qi Yunhao has become more and more natural, and the embarrassment between him and Liuli has completely disappeared. Seeing that he still has not settled down, Liuli can't help saying to him sometimes: "You're not too young anymore, you should find a godmother for Little Dulu soon."

Du Rui always smiled and said nothing.Liuli became anxious at the end, and said, "You're already 21, and it's time to spread your branches and leaves." At this point, Du Rui raised his head, stunned for a moment and said, "Just to spread your branches and leaves? That's easy. "So it didn't take long before news came that Rong An Hou Du Rui had taken a concubine.The news spread like a bomb in the capital. Du Rui didn't marry a wife for so many years, and he knew it was because of Liuli. Now that the two houses are so close, there are also some jealous people secretly gossiping about Qi Yunhao. But generally they won't let Liuli and the others hear it.

Although Du Rui is not married to a real wife now, taking a concubine before marrying a wife is not like the behavior of a scholar of Qingliu, but he has also sent a message to the outside world, that is, he has finally given up on Liuli and is ready to live his own life, so these The gossip has since died down.

After taking a concubine, Du Rui still often came to the palace. Liuli thought that the girl he could take back as a concubine must not be an ordinary girl, so she asked him to bring her to the palace to play when she was happy.She also asked him: "If there is a girl you like, just tell me, no matter who she is, I will tell you to be Mrs. Rong Anhou."

Du Rui looked at her quietly, smiled, stroked Xiao Dulu's head, but didn't speak.

Now that he has nothing to do, he also goes to Dazhuangzi in the eastern suburbs to have a look. These days, the engineering renovation has started, and Jin Xuan is so busy that he can't keep his feet on the ground. Du Rui often helps him.

Jin Xuan made a lot of toys for Little Dulu when he was free in Zhuangzi, Liu Li didn't know that Min Hua came into the mansion when she was watching Little Dulu bicker with the puppy on the porch in the evening.

Min Hua has been living in Banping Hutong. After Liuli dried her for a few days, she originally wanted to help her find a small house near the palace to live in. After the Huai'an Palace was built, she would move there with them with her children. Min Hua But he didn't want to, saying that it's good to live there, he was very happy to be company with Mrs. Chen every day, and Ma Zhong and Ma Liang also had a good time with Xu Huan.Liuli persuaded her a few times, seeing that she was really willing to squeeze with them, and seeing that she was indeed a lot more cheerful, and her complexion improved a lot after she got a little fatter, so she didn't mention it anymore.

Min Hua came to give these toys to Xiaodulu. She picked up Xiaodulu and kissed her, and then teased him to call herself "Auntie". she laughed.

Liuli said, "Come here for tea."

Min Hua handed Xiao Dulu to Nanny Huang, walked to the hall and sat down at the table.Watching Liuli pour a pot of rose tea into a transparent Western glass, she suddenly said, "Did you marry Widow Li to Ma Weiqing?"

Liuli raised her eyebrows, hummed, and put down the teapot. "You finally know?"

Min Hua's expression darkened again, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "Now his Ma family has lost all face, how could I not know?"

Liuli looked at her and said, "Are you sad?"

"What's so sad about me? He has nothing to do with me." Min Hua shook his head, lowered his head and sighed, and then said to her with wet eyes: "This widow is not easy to get along with. Ma Weiqing has betrayed me for many years. He deserves it." Retribution. Now I finally know that you are the only one in this world who thinks of me so much and seeks justice for me. I was foolish in the past and let you down in vain. Don't blame me."

"How could it be?" Liuli hurriedly held her hand, "We were not born by our mother, but we both became her daughters. This is fate. After all, you are my own sister."

"Good sister!"

Min Hua nodded and held her hand back, tears finally fell down.

Min Hua walked past Shen's the day before and came back the next day. As soon as he came, he asked Liuli mysteriously: "Min Hua came yesterday, did he say anything to you?"

Liuli was at a loss, wondering, "Just ask me about Ma Weiqing, and didn't say anything else. What happened?"

Shen smiled and said: "It's nothing. I just think that this child is pitiful, and I can find a good home for her."

Liuli heard the smell, so she said: "Who is Mistress in love with?"

"Where is my match?" Shen said angrily, then smiled again, and said, "What do you think of your Uncle Jin?"

"Uncle Jin?" Liuli was surprised.

"Your Uncle Jin is 22 this year, and Min Hua is [-] this year, so you can be considered fairly old." Shen's smile restrained, and gradually became solemn, "The main reason is that these two people have a lot of life experiences, and being able to be together as a companion is also a good thing for each other." Knowing how to cherish it, it is good for them to support each other until they grow old."

Liuli pondered for a while, then said, "Do they mean that?"

"It's just that I saw something, so I told you." Shen smiled again, and she could see that she was really happy for them, "Your Uncle Jin is busy in the eastern suburbs these days, but no matter how busy you are, you have to come back every now and then Once, every time I come back to Minhua, I feel like a prophet. I have prepared soup and waited for him. Your Uncle Jin is also weird. Every time you come back, you will ask around where she is, and you will bring something to eat for Ma Zhong every time you come back. Ma Liang, some of the toys I brought back yesterday were also given to their little brother. He is not a person who can hide, can't you see that? Besides, I made all the shoes he wore before. These days, the shoes on his feet are made by Min Hua. And clothes, you don't know Min Hua's handicrafts, you can recognize them at a glance. It's not too obvious what these two people are thinking! "

After hearing this, Liuli couldn't help but go over it carefully from the beginning to the end. She really remembered the changes in Min Hua these few times, and she refused to move out of Banping Hutong to live elsewhere. Isn't this a sign?Back then, the second girl of the He Mansion was famous for being gentle and gentle, and the old lady praised her needlework so much, so it was easy to recognize her.

Jin Xuan looks cheerful on the outside, but in fact he belongs to the kind of person who hides all sufferings in his heart. Min Hua also likes to bear it to death. It's rare that the two of them can see each other's goodness, which is indeed a beautiful thing!
"I'll try and test them later, if that's what I really mean, then Master, you can help me out!" Liuli said joyfully.

Shen said: "It's easy! Leave it to me."

Liuli was really happy about this for a while, back home Qi Yunhao and Du Rui Nie Jue came back home together, planning to invite Shang Qi Yunke to Lin Weiran's house to visit the new house, Liuli seized the opportunity to tell them about this matter Having said that, Qi Yunzhen immediately shook his head and said: "This matter can't be done. One is your sister and the other is your uncle. Wouldn't it be a mess of generations?"

Liuli pulled her face and said: "What kind of seniority is not seniority? You are so pedantic! Min Hua is not my real sister. Is it important for two people to bond with each other, or these broken rules?"

Qi Yunhao shrank his neck from her yelling, touched his nose, and asked Du Rui and the others: "What do you think?"

Nie Jue suppressed a smile and said, "I think sister-in-law's words are very reasonable."

Du Rui also said with a smile: "It's strange that I said that Jin Xuan has always been out of his mind, and he seems to be thinking about spring. It turns out that he has someone in his heart!"

Liuli chimed in and glared at Qi Yunhao.Qi Yunhao said helplessly: "Then I agree."

So Liuli invited Jin Xuan back to the palace for dinner the next day on the grounds of asking about the progress.Before the meal, Liuli drove Qi Yunhao and the others away, and invited Jin Xuan to the small flower hall alone, and asked him: "Uncle Master has been working hard recently, and it hurts me to see you so busy that you can't even eat well." Terrific. How about I find you a mistress, and someone will take care of you after you get married, okay?"

Jin Xuan took a sip of tea and sprayed it out, his handsome face turned red up to the neck, whether it was from choking or embarrassment. "You have this spare time, why don't you look at the account book? The income and expenditure account I brought last month, I saw you put it on the table just now, the dust has accumulated two cents thick, right?"

He will make a detailed account every month for the income and expenditure in the eastern suburbs, ranging from a large batch of bricks to a small shovel, and he remembers everything exactly.After reading two books, Liuli couldn't read any more, it was too clear and too detailed, it was a waste of her time.So later, he simply stopped holding it, and every time he flipped through it casually and put it there, but he didn't expect to be noticed by him.

Liuli cleared her throat and said, "Don't disappoint my good intentions. You see, Du Rui is already taking concubines. It's inappropriate for you to be so naked. It's settled like that. I'll send someone to the capital tomorrow Walk around and see which lady is suitable."

"No!" Jin Xuan was in a hurry, "I don't want any of those ladies in the capital!"

"Then who do you want?" Liu Li asked.

"I want to—" Jin Xuan almost said it, but he stabilized at the critical moment. "Why am I telling you?"

Someone outside the door burst out laughing, Jin Xuan looked over, and saw Nie Jue staggered out from behind the pillar with a suppressed laugh.Behind him are Qi Yunke, Lin Weiran, Du Rui, and Qi Yunhao.

"We know it even if you don't tell me, isn't it Min Hua!" Nie Jue walked in with a smile.

Jin Xuan's face turned purple with embarrassment, and he made a gesture to knock Liuli's chestnut, "What a Huai'an Wang Rong'anhou, you actually teamed up to tease me!"

Liuli smiled and dodged, pointed at him and said, "You only said yes or no?"

Jin Xuan flicked his sleeves, but couldn't help laughing.

Even if this matter makes sense.After Liuli had dinner, someone told Shen Shi to let her and Min Hua go to the mansion.In the afternoon, after talking with the three of them, the matter was settled.Liuli asked her sister-in-law, Mrs. Shen, to make arrangements for Jin Xuan, and after planning a date, they would hold a few banquets, and then all these people would go to congratulate her.
