Chapter 629 Want to get married with the Jiang Family
However, this is none of their business after all.
So Fengze was just curious for a moment, and then laughed at himself, "Who cares? When did I become so gossipy? It must be Xiao Lanyi who made me so gossipy."
Xiao Lanyi was innocently blamed.
It's a pity that she didn't know this, otherwise she would have dug out a bunch of stinky socks and thrown them to Fengze to wash.
Soon, after getting off the carriage, he held up a few brocade boxes and knocked on the door of the Li Mansion.
When he learned that the Jiang family came to send a gift for apprenticeship, Li Hutu was immediately surprised.
He changed into a clean robe, ran out to greet them, and almost fell at the door.
"How can you be so polite, Master? It is my duty to teach the princess. How can I let your family spend money?" Li Hutu came in panting, a little timid.
Jiang Fengze shook his head gently, "Master Li, you are too modest. With your knowledge, no matter who can receive your teachings, it is a blessing. How can I not be polite?"
Li Hutu wiped the sweat off his face and was happy. "Look at what you said. By the way, it's almost noon. Master, can you have lunch? Or stay and eat together."
At this time, Jiang Fengze looked at him carefully and saw that although his clothes were clean, they were full of wrinkles.
It seemed that no one took care of him personally.
In fact, just now, he also looked around the Li Mansion.
The Li family was originally a family of scholars, and it stands to reason that the rules in the mansion should be the most particular.
But he found that the servants were very negligent. The maids and old women dared to dawdle and chat in broad daylight, and stared at him without any hesitation.
The servants had no rules.
Lord Li couldn't even find a decent set of clothes.
Is there no one in this family who takes care of the inner house?
Jiang Fengze suppressed his curiosity and prepared to go back first. "Lunch has been prepared at home. Thank you, Lord Li. Let's meet at your house tomorrow."
Li Hutu responded quickly and asked his personal servant to send him off.
Jiang Fengze walked out of the first hanging flower gate with doubts about the Li family, and heard Li Hutu's voice coming from behind him again.
"Does anyone know where Ping'er has gone? Why haven't I seen her all morning?"
"The purple brush that someone sent is very good, and the small screen is also Ping'er's favorite lotus root color. Take it to Ziwuyuan quickly and give it to her!"
Li Hutu, a listless man, rarely spoke in a cheerful tone.
Jiang Fengze couldn't help but be curious, so he asked the servant, "Who is the Ping'er your master is talking about in your mansion?"
The servant behind him smiled, "Uncle, please excuse me."
"Ping'er is my young lady. The madam passed away early, and the master loves the young lady the most. Any good things are given to her first, so he is a little anxious!"
Jiang Fengze nodded suddenly, "So that's the case. You just said that the madam has passed away? So, there is no mistress in your mansion to take care of the inner house?"
If so, it can explain why the mansion is so messy.
But the servant shook his head.
"Yes, there is. After the madam left, there was a concubine left in the family. The master did not remarry, so the inner house was managed by this concubine, and the young lady was also raised by her."
Speaking of his young lady, the servant's eyes were full of pride and he talked a lot.
"Although the master has a daughter and a son, the young master was born by the concubine, and the young lady was born by our madam!" "
The master treats the young lady as the apple of his eye. Even when the young lady was sick a while ago, the master specially asked his cousin Pei Shangshu to send the young lady to recuperate in order to borrow the hot spring in the Pei Mansion!"
Jiang Fengze couldn't help but show surprise.
"Cousin?" He opened his mouth and asked, "So Mr. Pei and your master are cousins, why haven't I heard of it before?"
The servant replied, "Although they are cousins, they are only three generations apart, and my master doesn't like to flatter, so few people know about it."
Jiang Fengze nodded, and happened to walk to the door at this time, so he didn't ask any more questions, but went to his own carriage and fed the horse some grass before leaving.
At this moment, the sound of crying was faintly heard again from the corner door on the other side.
At the back door of the Li Mansion, a girl in a water-green dress was crying.
She covered her belly with her hands, and wore a veil on her head. Judging from her dress, it seemed that she had just gone out to cover her face.
"Auntie, what should I do..."
"Is what the doctor in the pharmacy said right? Did I really...really do that?" The girl tried to lower her voice, but the fear of inexperience still came out from her trembling voice.
There was still a fat woman standing next to her, with a face full of vulgarity, "Oh my, this kind of thing can be confirmed by the doctor's touch. Besides, you haven't had your period yet, so it can't be wrong."
The girl's face turned pale and she trembled even more.
"But what should I do? My cousin doesn't know about this yet. What's more, if people know about it, I will have no face to live, and my life will be ruined..."
The fat woman touched her hair distressedly, but if you look closely, you can find that her eyebrows are full of contempt and disgust.
"Ping'er, how can you be so foolish? He is your father's cousin after all. You... Alas!"
The woman pretended to be heartbroken. She was not someone else, but Li Hutu's concubine, Aunt Wang.
The girl who was still sobbing was Li Qingping, the eldest daughter of the Li family.
"Now that things have come to this," Aunt Wang thought about it and said, "You can only ask your father to arrange a marriage for you before you get pregnant. We have to cover this up."
"But..." She paused, her tone full of unhappiness, "It's just that your father is too stubborn and rarely makes friends with court officials. The family that can be talked about at this moment must be too poor."
When Li Qingping heard this, tears flowed out again, and she felt that her life was probably ruined.
Aunt Wang was also very upset.
She was still hoping that this girl could marry into a wealthy family and help her son's future.
But at this moment, Li Qingping suddenly raised her eyes and saw a man passing by through the corner door.
Jiang Fengze had a sturdy figure and a handsome face. After feeding the horse grass, he slowly set off.
Li Qingping's eyes widened with tears, "Aunt, who is that young man? Is he a colleague of father?"
Aunt Wang leaned over and saw that Jiang Fengze was dressed elegantly with a white jade belt tied around his waist. She couldn't help but feel happy, "Don't worry, I'll find a servant to ask."
Just at this moment, two maids came over and said that the master had something to give to the young lady, and also mentioned the gift from the Jiang family.
Aunt Wang's eyes widened, "I know, the man who just came must be a man from the Jiang family!"
"Jiang family?" Li Qingping suddenly realized, "But the Jiang family of the princess, I heard that daddy is going to be a tutor?"
Aunt Wang suddenly thought of something, and her face lit up, "Yes, why didn't I think of it! Since your father is the princess's tutor, why not let him try to marry into the Jiang family and find a successor for you... No, find a husband! That's better than just finding a man to marry hastily!"
Li Qingping seemed to have seen a life-saving straw, and her face finally turned red.
She touched her belly and bit her lips tightly, "I hope it works."
