Poor Family Chapter 465

  Chapter 465 Small Commandments

At night, Li Yanqing was awakened from his sleep by the sound of a jingle. He put on his clothes and walked out of the room. Sisi had the habit of sleeping alone. She didn't sleep very well and needed absolute silence to fall asleep. He lives in the east wing of the small courtyard, while Li Yanqing sleeps in the west wing. Next door is his study, which is connected to the bedroom by a small door.

  Behind the yard is a bamboo forest, through the stone path in the forest is a pond, a pavilion was built here, and Li Yanqing named it Tingqin Xiaozhu, at this time, the sound of the piano came from the pavilion.

Standing by the edge of the forest, Li Yanqing watched the pavilion a dozen steps away, and saw Sisi wearing a long snow-white dress, sitting on a soft mat, concentrating on playing the piano, with a burner of incense burning next to her, green smoke curling up, and the breeze caressing her. However, the hair draped over her shoulders raised slightly, and a bright crescent moon floated in the blue selike sky, shining on the water and trees, making Sisi look like a fairy who just came down from the moon palace. , is so soft and elegant, so fairy and jade.

  After the sound of the piano, Sisi said something to the maid next to her. The maid next to her stepped forward to hold the piano and went back to the room first. Sisi got up and apologized: "I disturbed my husband's sleep."

Li Yanqing stepped forward and smiled slightly, "The new moon is like a beautiful woman, and it is the first time to change its color when it goes out to sea. Juanjuan is on the lake, shaking the sky blue. The night is cool and people are not sleeping, the water is quiet and the piano is heard... Sisi plays the piano at night , could it be that you are homesick?"

  Sisi stepped forward and smiled, "I just came to the new house and I need to get used to it slowly. I couldn't sleep for a while tonight, so I got up and played the piano. I don't feel homesick."

  Li Yanqing pulled Sisi to sit down on the soft mat, put his arms around her shoulders and asked, "You never told me, are there any relatives in your hometown?"

  Sisi pondered for a while and said: "My parents have passed away long ago, but I do have a brother. When I saw Qing'er today, I suddenly thought of my brother."

   "Have you looked for it?"

"Why haven't I looked for it? I asked someone to look for it a few years ago, but I can't find it anymore. I don't know if I was taken away by the Xixia people or died. The village where I used to live was destroyed by the war, including selling me. The unscrupulous person who entered the Lefang was also killed by the Xixia people, and Xixia thought he was useless, so he killed him with a knife, which is also his retribution."

  Speaking of this, Sisi gently nestled in her husband's arms, and said with a smile: "Husband, tell me about the Cao family!

   "The Cao family?"

  Li Yanqing shook his head with a smile, "The Cao family gives me the feeling that it is big. Our small house is only equivalent to their small courtyard. To be honest, when I walk in it, sometimes I feel very small."

Sisi smiled lightly and said: "What Fu Lang sees is history, which is the accumulation of several generations of the Cao family for more than a hundred years. Few of the Cao family's children can catch up with Fu Lang. I also know that the Cao family is very rich. Ten years ago, Cao Ping once spent 30,000 taels of silver in the fan building overnight, and he still holds the highest record in the fan building, but what can he do, can he impress me, Master Li? Don't even think about it! Only my husband can impress me , let me willingly abandon all fame and fortune to follow."

  Li Yanqing sighed: "Sisi's debt, I'm afraid I will never be able to pay it back."

   "Then hold me like this for the rest of my life, and one day I will grow old and look bad, don't abandon me!"

  Li Yanqing raised his hand and said, "I, Li Yanqing, swear."

  Sisi put out her hand and covered his mouth, "Swear with your heart, don't say it out, I only believe in unforgettable memories, not glib words."

  Li Yanqing nodded silently, "You are right, the vow should be made to myself, not to the other party."

  Sisi pursed her lips and smiled again: "Let's continue talking about the Cao Mansion, did the old man of the Cao family propose marriage to you today?"

  Li Yanqing looked at her in surprise, "How do you know?"

   "Fu Lang means, proposed marriage?"

  "He just hinted, asking me if I have considered starting a family? I told him that I don't want to start a family for the sake of starting a family. In fact, I was implicitly blocking what he wanted to say."

Sisi sighed softly, "Although my husband favors me, I can't replace my wife after all. I still hope that my husband can marry a wife earlier, a gentle and virtuous woman who can be respected and compatible with me. To be honest , I'm really afraid that shrews will come into the house."

  Li Yanqing smiled slightly: "I am also afraid of shrews, so I will definitely marry a big woman that Sisi likes. If Sisi doesn't like her, then no matter how beautiful this woman is, I will never consider it."

   "My husband is affectionate, Sisi understands."

  Sisi originally wanted to mention the matter of Cao Yun, but after thinking about it, she also felt that it would be better to let nature take its course, as her husband said, one cannot start a family for the sake of starting a family.

   "Tomorrow is the anniversary of my father's death. I want to take Xiao Qing'er to Fayun Temple to offer incense, and let her pay homage to my father by the way."

Li Yanqing nodded, "Tomorrow I will let Bao Yanzhai's ox cart come over, and you can go shopping in the car and put on your veiled hat. I believe no one will recognize you. It will be the Double Ninth Festival in a few days, and the imperial court will have a day off. I just happened to take you out of the city for the autumn."

  Sisi was happy in her heart, she was really bored at home and wanted to go out for a long time.

  The next day before dawn, Li Yanqing went out to go to court. Before leaving, he asked Yang Guang to go to Baoyanzhai to borrow an ox cart, and let him and Zhang Hu guard the ox cart to go shopping.

Today, Hu Qinger got up early to go to the temple next door to worship her father. Sisi put on a veiled hat for her. There are two kinds of veiled hats. One is pagodshaped with a narrow brim. The parts are covered tightly, which is suitable for older women to wear.

  Most young women like to wear gauze, which has a wide edge like a bamboo hat, with light gauze on the edge. The light gauze will flow on the face, loose and beautiful without affecting breathing, and it will give people a hazy beauty.

  Sisi and Qing'er are of course wearing Lisha, and their covering yarn is a little longer, if you don't lift it with your hands, you can hardly see their faces.

  Magpie held a gauze gauze and muttered, "It's so boring to wear, so I don't need to wear it!"

  Sisi smiled and said: "No one forces you to wear it, and you don't need to wear it."

  At this time, Qing'er thought of something and said with a smile: "Uncle Lu has a adopted son named Yan Qing, this kid is very good at disguise, I have learned a little bit from him."

  Qing'er didn't finish speaking, the magpie clapped her hands happily, “Then use the Disguise Technique, and you don't need to wear this gauze hat.”

Qing'er quickly shook his head, "Listen to me, his disguise technique is to use pigskin to peel it thin and stick it on his face, which completely changes his personality, but the glue on his face is very uncomfortable, so it can only be used by the army , we can't use it, but there is another kind of disguise technique that is makeup. I was thinking, since Baoyanzhai sells all kinds of makeup powder, why not invite a high-level makeup artist to teach the skills, and in the future, Ms. Guo's usual makeup You can change into a different person with just one touch of makeup, so you don't have to worry about going out for fun.”

  Sisi nodded, this is a good way, using makeup to change the appearance, Bao Yanzhai has this condition, it can be used completely.

   "Qing'er, can you make up?" Magpie asked.

   "I only know a little bit, but I know that there is Granny Liu in Daming Mansion, who is very good at makeup. Bao Yanzhai can invite her to teach makeup."

   Magpie happily said: "Today, I will go and tell the master that I must invite this Granny Liu. Anyway, our Baoyanzhai also needs a brilliant make-up master to sit in charge."

  The burning of incense in Fayun Temple didn't take long. When they came out of burning incense, the ox cart was already waiting in front of the house.

  At this time, Zhang Hu stepped forward and said: "I am escorting my wife to go out under the order of the censor. Yang Guang and I will follow behind the car. If you have any requirements, you can give me anytime!"

  Sisi likes this Zhang Hu better, he is stable, down-to-earth, and trustworthy, while that Yang Guang is more glib, but he is just talkative and annoying, but he is still reliable, so Sisi nodded, "I will trouble the two of you today."

  Yang Guang waved his hand and said with a playful smile: "Madam, don't worry, whoever dares to moles Madam, we promise to beat him half to death!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw a black and bright lightning strike, the speed was unparalleled, a snake-like whip wrapped around Yang Guang's neck, Yang Guang was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, he had already felt There is a very sharp blade hidden in it, as long as he pulls it, his head will be gone.

  Hu Qing'er said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense in the future, especially in front of my sister-in-law, otherwise I will cut off your head directly."

   "The villain knows his mistake!" Yang Guang was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he quickly admitted his mistake.

  Sisi said softly at the side: "He is just annoying with his mouth, but other things are fine, and he is also very loyal to officials. Qing'er let him go!"

   Qing'er let go of his hand, and retracted the whip like lightning, 'Crack it! ' Buckled around her waist, her whip blade is usually buckled around her waist like a blue belt, and she is extremely proficient in pulling out and closing the whip, and it is her most handy hidden weapon.

   Qing'er glared at Yang Guang, "Sister, let's get in the car!"

The three of them got into the bullock cart, and the bullock cart started slowly. Zhang Hu said to Yang Guang, who had lingering fears in his heart: "Remember, don't use the word molesting casually in front of the mistress. It's disrespectful to the mistress. You have to control it in the future." My own mouth, even my wife said that you hate it, but in fact, we all think so, but we are just embarrassed to say you."

  Yang Guang rubbed his neck, and said with lingering fear: "Your sister, Guanren, is amazing! She can kill me with a single move of my hand, and I don't dare to mess with her again."
