77. Chapter 77

"Xiang'er, is this?"

Li just came in with Chaihe from the backyard when he saw his niece leading a strange man into the yard, and asked in shock.

Li Jinbao rushed to Ningxiang and said, "Auntie, my mother's surname is Li, and she also works in the Marquis's Mansion. She used to go home with Ningxiang, but now Ningxiang is redeemed. My mother is thinking about how she lives at home. There are melons in the field. My mother asked me to bring a few of them here for you to taste."

Two nieces were familiar with each other in the Marquis’ Mansion, one was Su Yue and the other was Madam Li. Li knew it. After hearing Li Jinbao’s words, he immediately understood. He quickly put down his interference and enthusiastically invited Li Jinbao into the house to sit. Xu Shouliang and Xu Huai and his son were welcomed.

After being looked at by everyone, Li Jinbao's forehead was sweating, his face turned slightly black and he looked at Ningxiang several times with guilt.

The Xu family's father and son may not be able to see it. Li looked at Li Jinbao's nervous look and instantly thought about it.

This kid likes his niece!

The situation of the Li family, Li heard from his niece that Li Ma Ma’s family is well-off, with three sons, two of them married wife, and the whole family is not separated. However, with Ma Ma Ma, a capable mother-in-law, the whole family seems to live a very harmonious life, and there is no ordinary sister-in-law who often cares about small profits.

The family is in good condition, and then look at Li Jinbao, who is tall and looks pretty. When he learns that his niece is redeemed, he will come over immediately, which shows that he is sincere.

As a mother, she doesn't want to choose a good husband for her daughter. In Li's eyes, her niece is similar to her daughter. She likes to compare and choose men for her niece, and she has to keep her eyes open and choose the best one. Lu Yan, the second son of the Lu family, is good, but Li hasn't seen that Lu Yan is interested in her niece, how can she be like Li Jinbao?

Since Li Jinbao was regarded as his niece-in-law, Li's hospitality became more and more enthusiastic, and the first thing he did was to keep Li Jinbao for lunch at home.

Only then did Li Jinbao realize that he was not the time to come. When he came at dinner time, anyone felt that he was suspected of free meals. But he didn't think so much. He hesitated at home for a while and rushed over for more than twenty miles. When he was about to arrive in front of Xu's house, he was procrastinating outside for a long time...

In order to show that he was really not here to have a free meal, Li Jinbao forgot what he wanted to say to Ningxiang, and put down his things and left.

Li was not willing to do so, so he kept the person behind and asked her husband and son to accompany the guests. Their mother prepared lunch.

"Xiang'er, what do you think of Jinbao?"

Ningxiang squatted in front of the stove and burned the fire. Li cooked the dishes twice and asked his niece.

Ningxiang looked up in confusion, and met the excited glory in the eldest aunt's eyes, and couldn't help but smile: "Where do you want to go? Brother Li San came to see me for Mama Li, not what you thought."

She knew Li Jinbao since she was home with Mama Li for the first time. She said she knew her, but she said hello when she met, and there was nothing else around her. In the three or four years, she didn't say much about Lu Cheng for half a year. How could Li Jinbao like her? Anyway, Ningxiang never noticed that others had that meaning.

The niece was stunned. Li poked her head and stir-fryed the dishes twice before whispering: "I have lived at such an old age. I can't tell whether he likes you or not? Think about it, his eyes were almost brighter than that of Qi Mingxing. If he didn't have the other people's thoughts, why would he be nervous? When did Lu Cheng blush when he came to our house?"

When he suddenly mentioned Lu Cheng, Ningxiang blushed.

Li mistakenly thought that his niece was enlightened and said happily: "Did you understand? Xiang'er, it's not easy for him to come all the way. After dinner, you can say a few words to him. If you have that intention, he will have some hints. Only when he knows it will he dare to tell his family."

There are three types of men in the village who marry a wife. The first is the thickest and boldest one. First, chase the little girl by herself, and the girl she pursues likes him, and then tells her parents to propose marriage. The second is a little thinner, and if she likes someone's girl, she will not dare to chase her, and will take the initiative to tell her parents and urge her parents to touch the details and take the initiative to take a look. This is how her husband married her. The third is the thinnest one, who dares to tell her the girl and doesn't dare to tell her family. Others can see that it's okay to arrange for him, but they can't see it, and they miss it while being dull.

Look at Li, Li Jinbao is quite thick-skinned and should have liked his niece for a long time. He didn't say it was because his niece was a maid in the Hou's Mansion. He was worried. Now that he learned that his niece was free, he immediately ran over. Since he was here, he would definitely want to talk to his niece alone to express his feelings.

Ningxiang still doesn’t believe in the aunt’s vision. Just Lu Cheng, didn’t the aunt misjudged it?

Thinking that Li Jinbao left after dinner, Ningxiang stopped quarreling with his elders.

This time the men were having meals at Xu Shouliang's house. Ningxiangniang placed the dining table at Ningxiang's house and ate for fun.

After the meal, Ningxiang did not go to the East Courtyard again, but only waited for Li Jinbao to leave before going out to see him off.

However, not long after, Li suddenly came, and when he entered the room, he pulled his niece out, "Xiang'er, Jinbao has a few words to ask you, waiting in the backyard, you can go and hear what they are going to say."

Because he is a well-known person, Madam Li takes good care of Ningxiang, so Li is willing to give Li Jinbao a chance. If a man with a distant relationship comes to find a niece, no matter how good he looks or how sweet he is, Li will not be able to arrange for his niece to talk to the place when he meets for the first time.

Ningxiang couldn't resist her elders. She guessed that maybe Madam Li had something to tell her, so she went and stepped out of the door. Li took the door behind her.

Ningxiang turned around and smiled helplessly. She looked under the eaves, but saw Li Jinbao standing there with a red face, wanting to see her but not daring to see her.

Ningxiang was stunned, and then a ridiculous thought popped up in her mind. Could it be that Li Jinbao really likes her?

He felt a little panicked, Ningxiang calmed down his thoughts and smiled and said, "Brother Li San, does the nanny have something to tell me?"

Li Jinbao has never been so nervous.

He looked at the girl dressed in a simple farmhouse dress more than ten steps away, swallowed several times in a row before touching her head, racking her brains and asking, "Ningxiang, are you doing well at home?"

After saying a word, his face turned red, as if he had drunk wine.

Ningxiang has basically believed the words of her aunt, and Li Jinbao does like her.

Ningxiang didn't know when she started to like it, and she didn't want to recall it anymore. She only knew that she liked Lu Cheng and could not agree to Li Jinbao anymore. What she had to do now was to cut off Li Jinbao's idea at once, so as not to get involved with Lu Cheng. Pei Jinghan would come back soon, and Ningxiang's money to redeem herself as a fake borrow from Li Mama, and Pei Jinghan discovered that Li Jinbao wanted to marry her...

Madam Li borrowed money from her private affairs, but Pei Jinghan didn't care, but Madam Li lent her money for her son, so she lent her people with Pei Jinghan.

Ningxiang can no longer implicate Madam Li.

After making up his mind, Ningxiang stopped panic and said calmly: "It's great, Brother Li San, what did the nanny tell me?"

Li Jinbao looked at the ground guiltily. Not only did his mother not let him come, she also repeatedly warned him not to come.

But he likes Ningxiang. He finally waited until she left the house, so why couldn't he come?

After enduring for four years, Li Jinbao didn't want to endure it anymore. As long as Ningxiang agreed, her mother would definitely agree. She liked Ningxiang so much.

Li Jinbao took two steps towards Ningxiang, stared at her fair face, and hesitated: "Ningxiang, I, my mother urged me to marry a wife again. I, I want to ask, you, what do you think of me?"

When he was talking, he saw the girl opposite him blushing or shy, but frowned. Li Jinbao felt bad, and all his nervousness turned into fear. He was afraid that he would immediately hear what he didn't want to hear, and that he couldn't say what he was thinking. Li Jinbao said anxiously again: "Ningxiang, I have liked you for four years. Since you were eleven years old, I will definitely treat you well as you marry me..."

"Don't come over..."

The man suddenly got too close, Ningxiang quickly took two steps back. Seeing that the man stopped, she forced a smile and said, "Brother Li San, in fact, I have seen that you like me a long time ago, but I really have no intention of you, so I have been pretending not to know, so I will not hurt your heart if I say it. Madam Li is so kind to me, I really don't want to make her family sad. Since you have made it clear today, I will also make it clear."

The eyes moved from the wall beside Li Jinbao, and Ningxiang looked directly at the man's face that had turned pale at some point, "Brother Li San, you are a very good person, but I have been with the prince for more than three years and prefer a learned man. I can't afford to be a prince, but I don't want to marry an ordinary farmer, work all my life and circle around the pot. I have thought, I am so good, so how can I marry a scholar..."

"Stop talking, I understand." Li Jinbao lowered his head in embarrassment, only daring to look at her skirt.

He was too self-righteous and thought that his family was still well-off, so he believed that he was worthy of her. But she was so beautiful. As she said, as long as she wanted to be a scholar again, let alone a scholar, even the No. 1 pick, Tanhua, would probably compete to marry her as a wife.

Compared with the scholar, what is he a farmer?

The blood was extinguished by cold water. Li Jinbao felt ashamed. He turned around and slowly walked towards the entrance of the kitchen in the east courtyard, moving faster and faster.

Ningxiang did not go to see him off. Looking at Li Jinbao's lonely back and listening to him saying goodbye to his uncle and aunt in awkwardly in the front yard, Ningxiang raised her head and held back the tears that had risen for some reason. Before the aunt came back to question her, she quickly returned to the east room and closed the door.

After sending Li Jinbao, Li signaled his daughter to coax Amu to play. She strode to find her niece. She just hid behind the door and heard the conversation between the two clearly. She opened the curtain and saw that the door was actually closed. Li suddenly felt anxious and looked in through the crack of the door. "Xiang'er, why are you closing the door?"

Ningxiang sat on the head of the kang, tilted her head to look at the door panel, and whispered: "Auntie, I really don't like him. Can you stop mentioning him?"

The elder is kind, but she is really tired of dealing with the elder's kind nagging now.

Hearing the depression in his niece's words, Li was silent for a moment and sighed, "Okay, aunt won't mention him anymore, but Xiang'er, tell me the truth, you don't want to marry your cousin who looks like a slutty cousin, right?"

The niece said she wanted to marry a scholar. The first thing Li thought of was Zhang Honglin, and this was the one she was most worried about.

The elder was thinking a little and anxious. Ningxiang couldn't help laughing, her voice became softer, she opened the door and looked at the aunt who was worried about her and said, "You are thinking about it again. I lied to him to dispel his mind. How could I really like scholars? Aunt, I just came back and haven't had enough free life. Don't say that I don't like Li Jinbao, even if I like it, I won't agree to him immediately. Don't rush to arrange for me again? I want to make you feel for two more years."

I felt wronged and hugged my elders coquettishly, I suddenly cried and couldn't help crying.

Ningxiang was anxious to make excuses for herself and buried it in Li's arms and said, "Auntie, I miss home, please stay with me for two more years..."

Li felt distressed, Lu Yan and Li Jinbao forgot everything, hugged his niece and coaxed him: "Okay, stay for two more years. Starting this day, who dares to come to marry our Xianger? I won't let him in the door. Xianger doesn't want to marry. It's you who said, if I don't live for two years, I will tie you up at home!"

Ningxiang burst into tears and laughed while crying.

After calming down, I saw my aunt away. I heard my younger brother playing with Dazhuang next door, Ningxiang went back to the house to rest.

As he fell asleep, he heard a gentle laugh and his little hands touching his face. Ningxiang opened her eyes in confusion...

"Aunt!" Anan, who was sitting next to him, saw that his mother finally woke up, and rushed over with a smile and kissed her face heavily.

Ningxiang couldn't help laughing, looking at her cousin A Tao Amu who was watching the fun, Ningxiang sat up with Anan in her arms, asked the little guy to sit on her lap, and lowered her head to ask him, "Did the third uncle send Anan here to play again?"

Anan nodded, but pointed outside and called out to Daddy.

Ningxiang was startled and thought that Lu Cheng was outside, so she instinctively touched her long hair that she had not had time to comb.

Xu Qiuer burst into laughter and deliberately scolded Anan, "Your father didn't come again, why did Anan shout nonsense?"

Ningxiang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard A Tao explain for his nephew: "My elder brother said that we can play here for a while today. He will come back early in the future and pick us up on the way."
