Chapter 116 Night Talk
Chunge, who had been waiting in the room and was puzzled, saw Li Jianan coming back with a gloomy look on his face, and Lianzhi behind him was still holding a lot of account books. His eyes flashed. Just as he was about to speak, Li Jianan was already calm.
Face, walked straight to the collapse and sat down.
Lianzhi put down the account book and stood aside.
Chun Ge didn't know what happened to make Li Jian'an like this, so he had to drink tea with Li Jian'an himself and said worriedly: "My lord, eldest sister, she is okay."
Li Jianan's face turned pale, "Okay, very good."
Hearing the unkind tone, Chun Ge glanced at Lian Zhi, who was standing respectfully next to him, but Lian Zhi lowered his head as if he was avoiding something.
Chun Ge felt a little clear in her heart.
It looks like something big happened, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.
I just don’t know what else Chen Chunfang can do now to offend Li Jianan...
Li Jian'an sat there in silence. When he came to his senses, he saw that everyone in the room was trembling with fear. Chun Ge was still wearing thin clothes, and his face couldn't help but soften a little.
Turning around to see the account book next to him, his eyes revealed a hint of unbearable confusion.
After everyone in the room had left, the two of them were lying on the bed talking. Li Jianan stroked Chunge's hair and murmured: "Chunge, from now on, you should be in charge of this house." He said helplessly and with a sigh.
.
Chun Ge became a little alert.
In fact, when he saw the account book, he was already convinced. However, the last time he was in Chen Chunfang's house, Li Jianan clearly saw his reluctance and knew that there was something weird in it, so he helped him refute it.
Now, I just moved the account books back.
Is Chen Chunfang really in bad condition, or something else happened.
Chunge looked up at Li Jianan with a dazed and frightened expression.
Meeting Chun Ge's eyes as clear as water, Li Jian'an turned away his head and whispered: "She is not well, please help with the cooking." After a pause, he said lightly: "I always want you to be next.
of."
Refusal once is a modesty, but rejection twice or three times is a real lack of appreciation.
What's more, based on what Li Jian'an said, it was clear that he had already made up his mind.
Chunge bit her lip and grabbed Li Jianan's arm, and said hello in a crisp voice.
Li Jian'an sighed when he saw her worried look.
There is really no other way. Butler Chen Chunfang used to go out with her family's name card to find people to do things and force them to do business together.
Seeing that her health was getting worse, Chen Chunfang became more and more courageous, and she dared to arrange Ruiniang's marriage without saying a word.
Speaking of which, if Mrs. Gu Gelao hadn't seen Chen Chunfang as the matron of the house, she might not have been willing to arrange her grandson's marriage with her.
Without Chen Chunfang's power as the housekeeper, the family can live in peace.
I just don’t know if I should talk to this little girl about this matter.
Chunge looked at Li Jianan's dazed expression, but she was beating drums in her heart.
It looks like there are a lot of things that he doesn't understand.
I can't ask questions myself.
"After you take over the family affairs, the first thing you do is to choose a maid for Rui Niang to marry."
Chunge was still thinking about her own thoughts. When she heard Li Jianan say this, she was startled and blurted out: "What did you say?"
Li Jian'an looked at Chun Ge's disbelieving look and just smiled bitterly and explained: "Mother Rui has made a promise to Mr. Gu Ge's young grandson, and she will leave in two months."
Even though Li Jianan said it so clearly, Chunge still felt that she had heard it wrong.
Rui Niang?
"Second sister's niece?"
When Li Jian'an heard the word "second sister", he remembered Chen Chunyuan with a bloated belly when he was lifted out of the house.
A gentle and beautiful woman, she is not as arrogant as Chen Chunfang, nor is she as delicate and adorable as the little girl in her arms. Most of the time she stands in front of her without saying a word or saying much.
Later, Ruiniang was born, and she became pregnant again, but the result was...
If this incident hadn't happened, I wouldn't be able to remember her all the time. She was really such a quiet woman.
Li Jian'an shook his head, stretched out his fingers to press his eyebrows, and rubbed them hard a few times. Subconsciously, he hugged Chun Ge tighter in his arms, and then nodded, "When Rui Niang was born, her body was very weak.
It’s not good either. Mother made the decision and sent her to Shuiyue Nunnery to be a registered disciple. She has only been home for two years, and she doesn’t like to talk. She lives alone in the west wing of mother’s side. Maybe you can still
I've never seen it before." As he said this, he remembered that Chun Ge Kong had assumed the title of a common wife, but none of the children in the family came over neatly to serve tea. "Choose a day and have them all come over to you.
Here’s a cup of tea, you are their serious mother.”
Chunge hummed, understanding what Li Jianan meant, but she couldn't agree in her heart.
Even though they are mothers, they actually understand each other very well. They are too far apart, so it is better to have less contact.
But Ruiniang...
Everyone has their own speculations about the cause of Chen Chunyuan's death.
She just left this concubine, a concubine, without a biological mother, who was still loved by Chen Chunfang and was making a living. No wonder the wife would send her to her name under the pretext of sending her name, and then brought her back, and she kept her by her side and lived in seclusion. Presumably, it was to make the whole Li family stop.
.
Such a child, married into the Gu family, is still so young.
Chunge felt a deep sense of pity in her heart, and smiled and said to Li Jian'an: "The Duke is really anxious. How old is Ruiniang? She is one year younger than Brother Wu. You are so anxious. Why not?"
Let's talk to Mr. Gu, not to mention waiting for Ruiniang and Hairpin, we have to wait at least two or three years."
Li Jianan's face suddenly darkened, he glanced at Chun Ge, and then said calmly: "This is Chen Chunfang's decision."
Pure song is awesome.
This meaning and tone clearly meant that Chen Chunfang had arranged this marriage without telling him!
No wonder Li Jian'an was so dissatisfied with Chen Chunfang that he didn't even bother to cover it up.
Although the marriage of children, especially the children of concubines, is mostly decided by the legitimate mother, in a big family, every marriage is very particular.
Isn't my marriage the result of mutual discussion and compromise between men like the eldest master Chen Duanyi?
When Chen Chunfang did this, she was really not afraid of offending Li Jian'an, but she still felt that she was going to lose everything anyway, so she simply broke the jar.
Chun Ge lowered his head and fell completely silent.
This matter is too sensitive, and my identity is a little embarrassing, so I'd better go around it.
It’s just that I have to express my position without saying a few words.
Chun Ge lowered his head and thought for a while, then said to Li Jian'an: "I just learned to be a housekeeper, and you gave me such a big errand. I'm afraid I won't handle it properly." She looked very worried.
Li Jian'an also knew that this was a bit embarrassing, but he had already felt sorry for his daughter, and Li Jian'an did not want to leave the preparations for the marriage in the hands of Chen Chunfang or the fourth lady.
The dowry carried out by the Li family would be ridiculous.
Li Jian'an thought for a moment, touched Chun Ge's head and said, "If you don't understand something, just ask your mother. In two days, the second sister-in-law will be back from Zhuangzi, and she can also help you."
Thinking of the neatness with which the pure singer's mother handled Aunt An, she smiled and said, "I see that your wet nurse is a smart person. She is an old man and knows a lot of rules. You can also ask her."
Chunge looked at Li Jianan's half-smiling look when he talked about his mother, and her heart skipped a beat, and her hair went numb.
Seeing this, Li Jianan was very open-minded about the matter of Mother Tong deliberately letting Aunt An come over, and he was just pretending not to know.
Since the other party doesn't want to mention it, there is no need for him to say it and cause displeasure.
Chun Ge just followed Li Jianan's words in confusion, "Then I'll discuss it with Tong's mother, and then call Rui Niang over to see if she has any maids and wives that she likes, and choose more names.
The person she likes is gone." His voice became lower and lower, becoming more depressed, "Speaking of which, when a girl gets married, she will be much more comfortable if the people around her can handle her well."
Why do you look so connected?
Li Jian'an looked at Chun Ge in astonishment, and when he realized what he was doing, there was a bit more pity in his eyes.
The escorts around this little girl must be managed by the third wife and the eldest wife. I don’t know how many people have been arranged.
No wonder this is the case...
"Please prepare more for the dowry for Rui Niang. The public regulations are not enough, so you can tell the king to take it from my private account."
This is preparation for a big event.
Is it compensation, or is it true love...
Chun Ge didn't know what it was like, but she still laughed and said angrily: "My lord, Ruiniang is your eldest daughter and the daughter of your second sister. Is it possible that I will deduct her dowry?"
Her eyebrows are soft and her tone of voice is gentle.
Looking at Chunge's smiling face, Li Jian'an's worries dissipated a lot unconsciously. He touched Chunge's face and laughed and said: "Why are you deducting her dowry? You want money. I can't help it."
for you."
Chun Ge reluctantly got into the quilt and muttered: "I have a dowry."
Li Jianan looked at the snow-white shoulders exposed in the air, his eyes gradually became cloudy, he leaned down and kissed her gently, and said vaguely: "Keep your dowry for yourself."
His hand had already reached out from behind to pinch the lump on his chest, and he shouted a pure song.
Chun Ge felt as if her back and chest were on fire. Li Jianan's body wrapped her tightly, like a soldering iron, which made her body tremble.
