Seeing her like this, Zhong Li felt a little uncomfortable. Now she can wake up for a while every day, and in two months, the time to wake up will be pitifully short.
The reason why Zhong Li wanted to leave Beijing in two months was not only because Cheng'er was afraid of the heat, but also because of the old lady's body. They might not be able to return to Beijing in the future. It would be better to accompany the old lady more when she was awake. several times.
Zhong Li chatted with her for a while, and seeing that she was tired, she covered her with a cool Xia quilt, "Grandma, please sleep a little longer, and Li will come to see you another day."
The old lady nodded slightly, she was very lethargic. After nodding her head, she fell into a deep sleep. Only then did Zhong Li lead Cheng'er out of her bedroom.
Mammy Zhang glanced at the sun and said, "It's almost noon, Miss Zhong and the young master should stay at Yangxintang for lunch."
Zhong Li declined, "Left and right are close, I'll do the same next time."
Mammy Zhang didn't hold back any longer.
Xiaomei personally sent them out of Yangxintang. Seeing that she wanted to send them to the gate, Zhong Li stopped them and said, "I'm not an outsider, so don't send them away. The old lady is most used to your service. If you wake up for a while, you won't be able to find you."
She can always be so considerate, and Xiaomei was not polite to her. Before she went back, she lowered her voice and said, "Miss Zhong, this servant has heard some news."
After she said this, she glanced around again, and then leaned into Zhong Li's ear and said the matter, "Mrs. Zheng of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion intends to go to the Zhong Mansion to propose a marriage, maybe in the next few days, someone will come over. "
Xiaomei is the big maid by the old lady's side. There are many useful people around her. She has many eyes and ears in the house. This news was told to her by the maid of the second room.
Zheng Shi originally thought of letting Li Mingran and Zhong Li have more contact, but after several times, the two always missed it due to various reasons, so far they haven't been able to get in touch more, and she didn't know where she got the news. I heard that Lu Yanrui also has feelings for Zhong Li intentionally.
Zheng Shi was afraid that Lu Yanrui would also propose a marriage, so she wanted to do it first. She originally wanted to ask the old lady of Zhenbei Hou's mansion to help her propose a marriage. After all, the old lady was Cheng'er's grandmother. It would be more appropriate for her to propose a marriage. Who would have guessed that she had just mentioned this to the second wife, and she fell ill before she had time to find the old lady.
Xiaomei didn't know who Zheng's family was planning to ask for a marriage proposal. She had such thoughts, so she wouldn't drag it on forever. It just so happened that Zhong Li came over today, so she talked about it.
Zhong Li couldn't help but stunned when she heard the words. Naturally, this never happened in the last life. At that time, her reputation was ruined. Everyone tied her with Xiao Sheng. Let her think of it.
Zhong Li said gratefully, "Xie Xiaomei sister reminded me."
As she said that, she asked Qiuyue to stuff Xiaomei with silver, but Xiaomei refused, seeing that Zhongli insisted on giving it, she accepted it.
Qiuyue was close, and naturally heard Xiaomei's words. After Xiaomei left, Qiuyue said regretfully: "Mrs. Zheng has a pure and good temperament, and it is rare to have no airs. Li Gongzi is also gentle, if the girl is willing to marry, it is really a good marriage. After getting married, at least there will be no discussion with the evil mother-in-law."
Zhong Li glanced at her sideways, and Qiu Yue quickly shut her mouth.
However, it was already too late, Cheng'er had already heard this, the little guy pricked up his ears instantly, and his big eyes were round, and he was a little flustered for no reason, "Who wants to marry, does my sister want to marry?"
Zhong Li hurriedly said: "Don't listen to Qiuyue's nonsense, my sister will not marry."
Cheng'er was unconsciously relieved. He actually didn't understand what was going on in marriage, but he was very afraid that someone would take away his sister.
Having said that, Zhong Li couldn't help frowning, and there was a hint of melancholy between her brows. Now, Mrs. Fang hated her. She told Mrs. Fang before that she should not accept anyone's proposal. She was temporarily She didn't want to marry, although Fang shi agreed at that time, but now she doesn't know if she will go back on it.
Zhong Li has been keeping people's attention to Fang's movements, and she is naturally clear. A few days ago, she had a big fight with her uncle, and even broke into Qin Yiniang's room, almost scratching her face. She is a little unstable now. , Zhong Li is really not sure what she will do.
She plans to go to Zhongfu tomorrow and talk to her uncle about it.
Zhong Li was thinking about things, but he didn't notice that there were two people walking in this direction in front of him. The man walking in front was dressed in bright red brocade clothes.
Behind him is Qin Xing.
Both of them saw Zhong Li.
The girl was wearing a light white ru skirt today, her skin was like jade, her body was slender, and her brows were dyed with a hint of sadness, and she looked like she was in some kind of distress. I really felt pity.
Pei Xing's footsteps paused for a while, seeing that the girl didn't even glance at him, there was a faint light in his eyes that could not be traced.
For a moment, he even wanted to turn around and leave, the pride in his bones made him not want to see her again, but in fact, his eyes mixed with anger were always glued to her, wishing to stare her out a hole. Come.
Cheng'er was the first to see him. The little guy liked Pei Xing's face very much. He also remembered the jade pendant given to him by his third uncle. When he saw Pei Xing, he let out a "wow" and broke away from Zhong Li's hand.
Like a bird out of a cage, the little guy happily ran towards Pei Xing, "Third uncle!"
Zhong Li's heart jumped heavily, and when he raised his head, it happened to meet Pei Xing's deep eyes. Zhong Li's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Pei Xing didn't respond, only when Cheng'er was about to pounce in front of him, he moved to one side, reached out and grabbed Cheng'er's back collar, preventing the little guy from jumping into his arms.
Cheng'er didn't even notice that she was being rejected, she raised her face and said happily, "Is the third uncle also visiting grandmother?"
Half of the little guy's appearance followed Zhong's appearance, and the other half followed Zhenbeihou. He was also like Zhong Li. He was staring at him, and Pei Xing's cold and stern expression could hardly be maintained. have unconsciously rubbed the little guy's head.
A little boy as big as Cheng'er feels that he is already an adult and hates elders to rub their heads, but Cheng'er is different. The third uncle was getting close to him, his heart was bubbling with beauty, his little head moved actively, and rubbed him attachedly.
