Li Jian'an didn't come back for dinner in the afternoon. He said he heard that he went to Jingsi Zhai to ask Steward Wang for questioning.

In the evening, Chun Ge waited until 3:00 p.m., but Li Jian'an didn't come over either. This time, Lian Zhi came over and said that the Duke of Guo had asked the Fourth Master to come over and talk to Jing Si Zhai.

Chun Ge looked at Lian Zhi's flushed face and sighed in her heart.

After dinner, he sat in the back room with his embroidery work and waited quietly until at 2:00 p.m., when he heard the voice calling the Duke from outside, Chunge put down his work, stood up in a hurry, and went to greet him.

.

Li Jian'an's face was serious, and there was a chill in the night wind on his body.

Chun Ge came up to him and helped him change his clothes, "Have you had dinner, Lord? I've made some rice dumplings tonight, would you like some?"

Li Jianan nodded silently and sat on the edge of the bed.

Chun Ge asked Fei Cui to go to the small kitchen to cook some hot rice dumplings with fermented rice wine. Then she went over and squatted down to take off Li Jian'an's shoes.

Then he waited for Li Jian'an to lean on the pillow and took off his crown. Seeing that his face still looked not good, he smiled and said: "What's wrong with you? Is it possible that you don't like staying in my room?"

Li Jianan frowned and looked at Chun Ge.

In the candlelight, there is a face as delicate as a March hibiscus, with a bright smile.

Li Jianan forced a smile but said nothing.

It has never looked dull before.

If Li Jianan is angry, he will understand directly. If he is happy, he will hug himself and laugh.

A man like this never bothers to pretend, at least in the inner courtyard.

It seems that Mrs. Tai's worries are indeed correct. Li Jian'an has indeed encountered a knot in his heart that cannot be solved.

It’s hard to say much at this time.

Chunge went out to bring the supper and ordered the maids to push it down. She came in and served Li Jianan to eat, and then helped wipe his face and hands.

The two of them were lying on the bed together talking.

Holding Chun Ge, who exuded a faint fragrance like warm jade, Li Jian'an's inner sullenness dissipated a little.

Chun Ge mumbled and said, "I know that my fourth sister-in-law is here today because I didn't think much of her, but the doctor also said there was nothing we could do. My mother also called me over and taught me a lesson, so don't blame me anymore.

"As he said this, he grabbed the lapel of Li Jianan's clothes and shook it.

Li Jian'an lowered his head and met Chun Ge's twinkling eyes. His heart softened. He twisted her nose and said, "Who said I blame you?" There was an imperceptible sharpness between his eyebrows, "This matter is the fault of Lao Si and the others.

The two of them did something wrong."

Chunge observed the words and said in a low voice: "Are you talking about the loan sharking of the fourth brother and sister?"

Li Jianan was stunned, "Did mother tell you?"

Chun Ge shook his head and said, "You also know that Mother Tong and Mother Li get along quite well."

Li Jianan listened and sneered in his heart.

Who is Mother Li? She has been my mother's confidant since she was a child. I am afraid that my mother will say something or something will happen, so she will be more at ease with her than my brothers.

It's not easy to get words out of Mother Li's mouth.

It was obvious that my mother was afraid that she would get into trouble with the fourth child, so she told this silly girl about the incident early and asked her to be the peacemaker in the middle.

Thinking of what happened today, Li Jian'an hugged Chun Ge apologetically and lovingly, touched her head and said, "I've wronged you."

Things at home are a mess. At such a young age, you have to take care of everything and worry about everything.

Chunge gave him an angry look and said dissatisfied: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

In the past, Li Jianan would definitely have teased Chunge, but today, he was really in a gloomy mood.

Seeing how unhappy he was, Chunge thought of Li Jianan's past temper and simply said bluntly: "My lord, the fourth brother and sister can't blame her entirely for the loan sharking!"

Li Jian'an deeply hated loan sharking.

Hearing Chun Ge say this, his eyes darkened. He was a little angry at first, but when he saw Chun Ge become serious, he became a little curious and wanted to hear what Chun Ge had to say. He sat up and said seriously: "Then what do you say?

Tell me why she wants to borrow money."

Li Jian'an is like this. Although he is a bit domineering and arbitrary in his actions, if you tell you something properly, he will give you a chance. If what you say makes sense, he will reflect on it and adopt it. It is definitely not that kind of thing.

People who follow the path to the end, are stubborn and stubborn.

Chunge quickly went through the speech she had thought up in the afternoon in her mind, and slowly told Li Jian'an.

"Master Guo, our family is not divided into families. There are rules for how much money is used for each room. The rest needs to be supplemented by oneself. Although the fourth brother and sister say they have nothing to worry about at home, the fourth brother, after all,

It's just a casual job, and the salary is only a few hundred taels. I heard that the shop under the name of the fourth brother and sister is not doing well. The second mother is about to get married, and the matter of Brother Yuan entering the Imperial College is being taken care of from top to bottom.

It's a sum of money. No wonder the four younger siblings are anxious."

When Li Jian'an heard this, he snorted, "My mother-in-law's marriage was naturally paid for by my father-in-law. It's possible that my mother and I will treat her badly. As for Brother Yuan, I know it in my heart. They are both heirs of the Chen family. Naturally, my mother-in-law and I will treat her badly."

We will make good arrangements."

Chun Ge laughed and said, "This is your plan, but have you ever told your fourth brother and the others properly?"

Li Jian'an looked nonchalant, "As long as you have an idea of ​​what to do, that's all."

"I'm afraid that the fourth brother and sister just don't know what's going on in their hearts!" Chunge saw that Li Jian'an was getting angry again, and said hurriedly: "Think about it, you treat the fourth brother well, and the fourth brother knows it, but after all, the fourth brother and sister are separated by one floor, she

It’s human nature to plan for your own room.”

Li Jianan drooped his eyelids and said nothing.

Chun Ge continued: "I know that you must have looked for the fourth brother today, and the fourth brother must be protecting the fourth brother and sister. Don't blame him. Husband and wife are one, and the fourth brother and sister are actually planning for the child, so naturally he wants to

It's more protective. I think you should choose a time to talk about your plans with your fourth brother. Once you talk about everything, there won't be so much dispute."

Li Jian'an didn't know how much he heard, his face gradually softened, he hugged Chun Ge and said, "Let me think about it."

Things have to go through a process. As the head of the family, Li Jian'an is arbitrary and knows the rules. It is indeed not easy for him to suddenly change.

But Chun Ge also had other worries.

"My lord, my family has rules and regulations on how much dowry money can be given to a daughter. You can't just favor the second mother. But the second mother is the heart of the fourth brother and sister. No matter how much the dowry is, she still has it in her heart.

I think it’s less.”

Li Jian'an already had some opinions about the Fourth Madam, so he said coldly: "You can't bring the entire Li family in just for the sake of Er Niang."
