A clever little girl tugged on Miss Peng's sleeve and reminded in a low voice, "Girl, please invite the princess and the old lady into the house."

"Ah, yes, yes." Miss Peng panicked even more, and hurriedly invited the old lady and Jiayin into the room.

There are no expensive decorations in the room, the most are embroidery frames and books, which are very clean and tidy.

Jiayin is young, and no one will care about what she said wrong, so she pretended to be curious and played, asking non-stop.

"Sister Peng, do you do embroidery every day? You are so good, I can only sew sachets."

"Sister Peng, have you read a lot of books?"

Ms. Peng was very patient and answered all questions. She was not at all annoyed when Jiayin messed up the embroidery threads. Instead, she was afraid that Jiayin would prick her hands, so she quickly put away the embroidery needles.

Mrs. Li watched from the side, interjecting a few words occasionally, the more she listened, the more satisfied she became.

Seeing grandma laughing happily, Jiayin retired and dragged the little maid to go to the toilet.

The little maid led Jiayin out to the small room next door, and gave the old lady and Miss Peng a space to be alone.

Miss Peng tore off her handkerchief, hesitated for a moment, and knelt down to Mrs. Li, "Madam, it's my fault. I have been relying on Brother Jiahuan to help me sell embroidery work secretly. Don't blame Brother Jiahuan, everything is my fault. I am willing to make up for it, as long as I can do it, I am willing."

Mrs. Li reached out to support her, touched the thin calluses on her fingers, and sighed softly.

She had no mother since she was a child, her father was careless, and she survived under the hands of her stepmother and concubine. This girl really suffered a lot.

"Son, it's really wrong for you to have a secret relationship with Jiahuan, but Jiahuan told you about your difficulties and your last resort, and our family doesn't mean to blame you.

"As for Jiahuan, he is the son of the Li family. He acts recklessly and has no scruples about his older brothers and younger brothers who are studying in the academy. This is his fault. The family punishes him, and it is also a lesson for him to learn. No one can replace him, do you understand? "

Miss Peng bit her lip, feeling more guilty and anxious, but she didn't know how to stop and make up for it.

The old lady was not willing to let her worry, so she asked: "Son, I asked Jiahuan last night, and he said that he would marry you as his wife and treat you well for the rest of his life. I came here today to ask you what you think. If you have the same thoughts, I will discuss your marriage with your father.

"You know, you walked around so much with Jiahuan before, and if you could be discovered by your servants, and you couldn't keep it, it would be in the eyes of others. Naturally, it is the best result for the two of you to get married. Even if others gossiping, unmarried children It is not too impolite for husband and wife to move around frequently.

"But if you don't like Jiahuan and have no intention of marrying him, you can tell the truth, and our family will try our best to help your father and keep this matter a secret, so as not to damage your reputation or delay your future marriage. "

Ms. Peng didn't expect the old lady to ask such a straightforward question. She felt ashamed and flustered for a while, and really wanted to find a place to hide it.

The old lady couldn't delay for too long, after thinking about it, she said, "Well, if you like it, you can nod your head, and if you don't want to, just shake your head."

Ms. Peng hesitated for a moment, but she mustered up her courage and raised her head. She looked at Mrs. Li with tears streaming down her face, "Old Madam, brother Jiahuan told you a lot about your family. I was very happy to hear it. I haven't Mother, I also want to have such a lively home..."

"Okay, okay, good boy, don't cry!" Mrs. Li hurriedly hugged her, pulled her handkerchief to wipe her tears, "Grandma knows, you can live in peace, as long as you and Jiahuan are of the same heart, grandma doesn't care How can I make you a pair!"

Miss Peng subconsciously leaned into the old lady's arms, feeling the warmth of the old lady's arms more clearly, and she shed tears more urgently.

For many years, no one hugged her after mother died.

She has been patient all the time, and finally resisted once, so that she can fight back to a good home for herself?

Even at this moment, she couldn't believe it. It must be that the mother has a spirit in the sky, and she must be protecting her!

Jiayin was playing in the yard, looking at the flowers here, the grass there, leading the little maid to talk, and felt that the bottom line was almost there, and she was tired and dry, so she called grandma.

Miss Peng's eyes were red, and she sent the old lady out.

Jiayin ran over, hugged Miss Peng's neck, and kissed her on the cheek, "Sister Peng, I like you!"

Miss Peng blushed again, kissed back lightly, and whispered: "I like you too, come and play with me when you come to Luo'an."

"Okay, I won't accept money from my sister when she goes to play in our valley!" Jiayin patted her chest, showing a bold and righteous look, which made everyone laugh.

Soon, Mrs. Li led Jiayin back to the front yard.

Ms. Peng stood in front of the door and kept watching. When she turned her head, she saw someone poking her head in the distance, but her heart was no longer depressed and angry as before.

In the future, she will marry into a lively and harmonious big family.

What kind of concubine, what kind of concubine, and even whether her father will reunite, it has nothing to do with her!

"Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue! Help me open the box and find that embroidered booklet with a red cover!"

The little maid was so happy that she jumped up and down to help the lady find something.

In the study in the front yard, Mr. Peng was talking to the Li brothers.

Originally, he thought that the atmosphere would be a bit awkward. After all, Li Laosan is a carpenter and part-time cook, and Li Laosi is a martial artist, and they have nothing in common with him, a scholar.

I don't want to, Li Laosi has traveled all over the world and has a wide range of knowledge. He was on an expedition before, and he insisted on fighting a way for himself.

Now he is the commander-in-chief, and if he goes up one step, he will be the general.

Li Laosan is not as powerful as his younger brother, but he also went all the way from Saibei to Jiangnan.

Killing wolves, fighting tigers and leopards, killing mountain bandits, what have you never experienced.

The three of them drank tea while talking, and it was actually very lively.

Until Mrs. Li came back with the good news, Mr. Peng still had something to say.

Mrs. Li had the bottom line in her heart, so she cut straight to the point, "Mr. Peng, there are hundreds of girls in my family. I just saw our girl is dignified and gentle, and I like it very much. I wonder if our two families have the fate to be in-laws?"

"Although my grandson is not good enough, but fortunately he is young, he will be more promising in the future. My family's boss will come back from the south soon, and plans to reopen Sihaiju. At that time, my grandson must become a chef and take charge of one side in the future. She will definitely not let Miss Peng suffer along with her.

"In addition, to show our sincerity, our family is willing to use two hundred manuscripts as the dowry gift, and prepare the rest according to the rules, just more or less. Would you like to think more about it, sir?"

Hearing this, Mr. Peng squeezed the teacup in his hand tightly, feeling unexpectedly pleasantly surprised.

If it was before, he would definitely not be willing.

But now that the girl has done such a thing and spread the word, their family will be ashamed to face others.

However, the Li family has a princess, a fief, and a son who is the commander, and they suddenly raised their value.

One ebbs and another, it is almost the same for their Peng family to climb high.

I don't think so, the Li family not only didn't make it right, but they were so sincere.

If the dean knew, he might even want to give birth to a daughter and send it to the Li family, why would he not want to? !

"It's the old lady's good fortune that she takes a fancy to my ugly girl."
