Du Rui did not answer her directly, but said, "I was tied to my home by my grandmother for the past two months and said I would not let me come out before getting engaged. I couldn't help but sneak out."

Speaking of engagement, Liuli's face became hot again, and she pretended to be calm and said, "Why are you going to engage in? Which girl from the family?"

Du Rui smiled and said, "I know you, I know the ninth girl from the Minister of Revenue He's family. When the spring of next year is about thirteen, my father will come to propose marriage."

Liuli's face blushed to the base of her neck, and she finally couldn't pretend anymore.

In fact, she has never had any very eager yearning for marriage. What she wants is not the unrealistic marriage that Huanhua hopes for, which only envys mandarin ducks but not immortals. What she wants is enough respect, a high enough status, and the power to protect her own interests. In this regard, she is no different from all women in the house fight, and there is nothing to deny. She just wants to live with dignity and be respected by the people around her. Now it seems that Du Rui can give her these, so she has nothing to be pretentious.

After being admitted by Du Rui, Liuli's heart was also at ease. Although she didn't hate marrying, her situation was special and she could make peace. In this way, even if the two had a clear understanding of this matter, Liuli was no longer worried about it. However, the relationship between Huaining Marquis and Liuli was becoming increasingly close, and the old man and He Rongli were also invited to attend a birthday party of Huaining Marquis. Therefore, Yuhua's hatred for Liuli seemed to have reached a peak. This has always been desperately running into the Buddhist temple. Every time he came out, he had to go to He Rongli's study, and the connection between her and Yu was finally renewed.

However, He Rongli's attitude towards Liuli changed surprisingly because of the rewards of the eldest princess' four cars. Because of this layer, he was even more enthusiastic about Aunt Su. He had been here for more days and gave Liuli some favors from time to time. But the more he did this, Aunt Su would be in her.

The colder his heart is to him, and the same is true for Liuli. The more obvious he acts, the more his feelings for him, the more he can fade away from the bird.

Of course, they still welcome it on the surface, after all, no one will intentionally be unable to get along with him.

That day, I heard that He Rongli came back for dinner, so Aunt Su asked the kitchen to add a few dishes and warmed up a pot of wine. Liuli didn't mix with them, so she asked Rui'er to cook a warm kang in the room and tilted her head to read a book.

The days flickered and it was the end of October. At most, Yuhua would get married in two or three months. Liuli was stunned at Shujuan for a while and called Rui'er.

"What's going on in the Buddhist temple these days?"

Rui'er thought for a while and said, "Yu is sick now and can't cause any big trouble. She just curses the master in the yard all day long. There is something I think is suspicious and I'm just about to tell the girl."

"What's the matter?" Liuli sat up a little.

"Today, Mrs. Hu said that about three or five days ago, Qi Luo, who was next to Mrs. Fourth, went to Yu to send supplies to the Buddhist temple."

"Qilao?" Liuli simply sat up. Qiluo was Nie's confidant. Even if Nie was in charge of common affairs, it was not the turn of labor to send supplies. What did Nie want to do? "Have you heard what they said?"

Rui'er said, "Part Hu said that Qi Luo only gave the supply to Yu, and told him to ask Yu to carefully check it to see if there were any mistakes and then it came out."

Liuli thought for a while, hummed and put the book on it, and said, "Then there must be some letters in the supply! Tomorrow, you can find a Yuzi to search, be careful, don't fall into other people's eyes, try not to disturb them."

Liuli sent Rui'er to search and she started to think about it. Nie is not as easy to control as it appears. Now she seems to have surrendered to Liuli, but she doesn't think so in her heart. Compared with her, the nine girl with no foundation, Yu's wife, who is almost gone to the court, is still a little powerful in the hearts of many people. Moreover, Nie has been suppressed by her for so many years and is still a little scared. At this time, she suddenly went to provoke Yu. Although she still didn't understand the truth, it was not too unexpected.

The next day, Rui'er went to the Buddhist temple and came back and said, "I haven't found any letters or something, but I found this from the carbon furnace ashes."

It was a small account book, half burned. Rui'er now learned a few words from Liuli, such as a few numbers. Yu is now living in the Buddhist temple half-dead, so what else can he have to remember? Liuli opened it and saw that even though he was mentally prepared, he was shocked. What he remembered was a lot of income and expenditure, and each silver cost at least thousands of taels!

This is definitely not the account book that Yu had originally collected around him, otherwise, he would have searched it when Qi ordered people to search last time. Most of them were brought in later, so was it brought to her by Yuhua or Qiluo?

Liuli tends to Qiluo because if it was given to her by Yuhua, she didn't need to burn it. If it was Qiluo, what account would this account be recorded in this account book?

She opened the burned book again, and the matter column was burned, leaving only the date and money at the gutter.

Liuli thought about it, went to the fourth room with a notebook in her hand, and said to Nie, "The fifth brother will be in the wedding soon. My mother asked me to come and ask for a banquet list. When the third girl gets married tomorrow, we can do as we do."

The fourth wife married the sister of Prince Ning's concubine. Moreover, Tingbang has recently become a scholar, so he has to be more decent. Nie was sorting out the wedding invitation. After hearing this, he happily got up and took a banquet menu from the drawer next to her and handed it to her. "I'm invited the chef of Xihu Tower. The name of Xihu Tower is more resounding than that of Zuixian Tower!"

Shuhua invited the chef of Zuixianlou when she was married. Liuli had always looked down on Nie's little family spirit and loves to compete everywhere. She didn't say anything at the moment, took the menu and looked at it, and said, "I'll ask Aunt Si to make an annotation on this and write down some of the things that are given, so we can do it as we can."

There are different things about wedding banquets. The order and ingredients of the dishes are very particular. Of course, these chefs in charge will tell their boss, but because Nie invited a chef who is more famous than Zuixianlou, he happily picked up a pen to annotate her.

Liuli took the list she had finished, handed it to Yuegui quietly and put it away, and picked up the tea ceremony of "Aunt Four has been to the Buddhist temple recently?"

Two wedding invitations from Nie's subordinates suddenly dropped, "No, no, what am I going there to do?"

Liuli stared at the wedding invitation on the ground and said with a hissing: "It's a big deal to marry a young lady in the mansion. Aunt Fourth didn't go to the Buddhist temple to ask the eldest lady, how did she know who she should invite the eldest lady's family? Even if she knew, she was afraid that her name would not be very clear?"

Nie returned to his senses and smiled and said, "This is true. Looking back, I sent someone to the Buddhist temple to ask!"

Liuli raised her lips and took a spoon to pick up the grapefruit meat in the bowl.

Back in the room, Liuli threw the banquet list and the small account book on the desk.

The handwriting on the list is exactly the same as the handwriting on the account book, and Nie is actually making a fool under her nose!

Rui'er said angrily: "Do we want to give the fourth wife a little more bitter?"

"Don't alert the snake first, let's see what they are doing!" Liuli locked the tent into a small copper box and pushed the list to her: "Send this to my aunt, don't say anything else."

Last night, He Rongli stayed in Aunt Su's room for the night, and today it was a rest again on the 10th day of the year. Before he had returned to the room, Aunt Chen brought Huier to the room with him by visiting him. The jealousy in the room could make people faint, and Liuli naturally couldn't escape.

The auspicious day of He Tingbang and Luo Mingzhu's wedding is set on the thirteenth day of the winter moon. The winter rains for several consecutive days have made the entire capital cold and bleak, but this day is very auspicious. Many people set their wedding on this day, so the festive sedan chairs and lanterns all over the city have added a bit of heat to the city.

Today, several girls married in the mansion will also return to the mansion for a banquet. Huanhua couldn't help but feel happy and ran to the lilac room early in the morning and told her: "I heard that the second and fourth sisters are happy, which is really good news!"

It’s fine for Min Hua, but she has been married for two or three years, and she should have been pregnant for a long time. However, Shu Hua has been pregnant for only more than two months after she has been in the family, so she is really a blessing.

Liuli was also happy for them. While handing her a hand stove, she spread her hands and asked Ruier to dress her. Since she came back from Jinquan Temple with Xiaoqi Concubine, Ruier's first thing was to make some gorgeous clothes for her. Today, the smoky and embroidered flower jacket and skirt was one of them. After all, today the newcomer came in, and there were much more guests than married daughters. The girls in the house all had to accompany her as their hosts. After being promoted by the eldest princess, Liuli is now a slightly famous figure in the circle of ladies in Beijing. How could she not dress up well?

Huanhua was picking jewelry for her, and suddenly brought her a golden hairpin: "You haven't even finished your hairpin yet, why is there this in the jewelry box?"

Any complex hairpin ring that does not have a bun without a bun is inserted, and the glass is not as good as the hairpin, so naturally they can only comb some small hairbows such as double rings or single maids. This hairpin is really eye-catching when it falls into the jewelry box.

Liuli glanced at it and immediately snatched it over, slept it in her sleeve.

The reason why this hairpin is so abrupt is that it is not hers at all, but Yuhua's. She pulled out her hairpin in the imperial garden that day, and the hairpin was brought back. Because this was specially created by Yu when she entered the palace for her talent show, her name was still engraved on her head, so she could not find a suitable way to deal with it.

Now that Huanhua is discovered, she will be discovered by others sooner or later. She has never forgotten that there is a double happiness in her room.

Huanhua glanced at her and then excitedly picked up pearl flowers for her.rs
