Li Haitang raised her wine glass and clinked glasses with her savage husband. She took a sip of the wine, then continued to eat with her head down.
Although my own craftsmanship is not as good as Mrs. Wang's, but being able to cook a table of dishes gives a sense of accomplishnt.
The big family has a special cook, and when it cos to the al, the food and drink are waiting for soone to bring it. Although it is for enjoynt, it lacks the smoke and fire of living at ho.
"Husband, I don't know who the child in Zhuang Ke's stomach is..."
The Zhuang family can be regarded as a scholarly family, so the daughter is so indiscreet? Li Haitang could feel it when he ca to Beijing. The etiquette in Kyoto is strict. Compared with Beidi, it is not rude to wear a hat to cover your face when you go out.
When I was in Lijia Village, families in the village would send sothing casually. Here, if a man and a woman send each other, and the two are not married, it is a private gift and acceptance.
If a woman loses her fa, it's not her own fault, it will embarrass the whole family.
For example, Miss Du Ruohe, who disguised herself as a man and went to Songhe Academy, mixed with a bunch of scholars, shared a room with Chen Chun and Yang Xu, was suspected of murder, and her reputation was worse than that of Slly Ditch.
The Du family has a few ladies who are of the right age and are waiting to get married. Now they have been withdrawn one after another. The other party can't bear to find a famous daughter-in-law to enter the house. Otherwise, won't they beco the laughing stock of others?
Retiring the marriage will offend the Du family, but compared to his own reputation, offending others is not that important.
"If Zhuang is not a flirtatious person, based on ti, the child is undoubtedly Yang Xu."
Xiao Lingchuan analyzed that Miss Zhuang Jia hid, perhaps out of her own mind, maybe the Zhuang family felt that she owed Yang Xu, so she wanted to leave him a concubine.
"Hmph, it's not a good bird to get pregnant before marriage, without a matchmaker and without a job."
Li Haitang pursed her lips with a sarcastic expression, thinking that Xiangli was not worth it. Only this silly girl still values love and righteousness, and even wants to sue Yang Xu for the sake of overturning the case. What is it if she is not stupid?
The Yang family didn't take her seriously at all, lost contact for more than a year, and then sought another job in the capital, and it was Yang Xu's own classmate's sister who was looking for it.
Thinking of this, Li Haitang frowned, "Could it be that Zhuang Ke is pregnant, and the Yang family also knew about it?"
If not, why did Yang Xu's parents stay at the Jingzhaoyi Yan instead of going to the banker? The two families kept in touch, but Yang Xu's parents didn't ntion it much.
When Xiangli said that she would desperately help reverse the case, the old couple looked uncomfortable and kept changing the subject, insisting that after the case was over, the Du family would kill people to silence them.
Li Haitang suddenly discovered that his understanding of the case was all hearsay, and he had never conducted a formal investigation. Instead, he was led by the nose to speculate on the murderer.
"Husband, repeating what others say, it's really scary."
After a long while, Li Haitang took a deep breath and exhaled a foul breath.
People are always confused by appearances, so they can't keep the truth from the false. This is a big mistake.
"My lady, this case is not easy."
Xiao Lingchuan had already learned part of the truth, but he found clues by accident. He didn't expect that his wife would see many unreasonable things after he only told about Zhuang Ke's pregnancy.
He who has never been nosy, decided to investigate and collect evidence, treating it as a small ga between husband and wife.
"Husband, did you find sothing and not tell ?"
Being guided by public opinion and playing around, this feeling is not very good. It's just that Yang Xu is said to have been buried in the ground, so it's impossible to dig up all the corpses for re-examination.
Furthermore, although she is a doctor, she is not a forensic doctor. There is still a big gap between the two.
"Actually, I found sothing suspicious."
Xiao Lingchuan shook his head, he hasn't been confird yet, if it is confird, the truth will almost co to light.
The couple made a decision and went to investigate the clues and find the truth.
Li Haitang did all this without telling Xiangli, she was afraid that Xiangli would lose her composure and she would slip the tongue when she went to see Yang Xu's parents.
Li Haitang had been looking for an opportunity, but he never expected that the opportunity would co so quickly.
The next morning, Nanny Fang, who was beside Fang Shaoyao, ca to the Zhuangzi and asked Li Haitang to bring bean buns to Li's Zhuangzi as a guest.
"Mrs. Xiao, the ladies who ca here today are all good friends with our wife. Don't worry if there are no tricky masters."
Nanny Fang had a particularly good impression of Li Haitang, so she spoke directly and did not hide anything. Most people in the capital are snobbish, watching people order dishes, and each has their own social circle.
Fang Shaoyao herself is a rchant woman, and the wives she made friends with were not high-status, so were officials, and they were also small sesa officials of the sixth or seventh rank, or they were the wives of rchants. Everyone gathered together, chatting their teeth to pass the ti, and beca more interested. Push Pai Gow together.
The other party sincerely invited, and Li Haitang imdiately responded.
No matter where she is, she has many friends and many paths, and she is worried about developing her contacts in the capital.
Li Haitang looked around at the servants, there were only a few of them, she especially missed the two sisters Bai Bing and Bai Shuang who stayed in the Northland.
However, Bai Bing was seriously injured before and needed to recuperate, so she didn't let the two of them follow, and let the sisters rest for a while, and co back when they are healthy.
When eting a guest for the first ti, she must not make a joke, so she chose Chuni and Baiguo to follow.
"Madam, why didn't you choose ? Am I not the number one maid?"
Wu Fu held his chest up and raised his head. The first maid didn't follow to et the guests, which was a bit outrageous.
"Five blessings, the most important people must stay in town, and, Mrs. Wang said that she wants to make so scallion pancakes today."
Li Haitang fooled around without changing her expression. She was very kind to Wu Fu, and never used Wu Fu to call herself a slave. As a result, this girl had already let herself go, and now she is upright and can't be upright.
"Well."
When ntioning the scallion pancakes, Wufu smiled and sent the carriage to Zhuangzi's gate before heading back.
On the carriage, Chuni was pouring tea. Li Haitang looked at her closely. Although she was not particularly beautiful, she made people feel comfortable. No wonder Li short-legged.
"Chuni, do you have any requests from your family? Manager Li went shopping, but he doesn't know what your parents and brothers like."
When Li Haitang asked, Chuni was flattered and said quickly, "Ma'am, my family is a farr's family in the village. My parents and brothers work in agriculture, and I have never seen the big world."
In the early years, Chuni took all her money and wages ho, but after her family recovered from illness, they didn't ask her for a penny, and let her keep it for herself.
The family lived frugally, reluctant to renovate the house for so many years, and saved more than twenty taels of silver, hoping to redeem her life.
Chuni has a contract of living and can go ho when it expires, but she doesn't know what to do when she goes back, and she is very confused about the future. Her ho was not far from Zhuangzi. Occasionally, when Chuni ca ho to deliver things, she would always et an old bachelor in the village, whispering to others, saying that she was just waiting for her, an old girl, to return to the village to get married, so that old bachelor would co to propose marriage.
