160. It is better to be born than to be nurtured
Everyone in the hall remained motionless, waiting for Li Fei's answer.
Zhu Miaohua's eyes were gray, she had been to the royal family, and she knew too well the power of the entire Zhu family and the surging pursuit of power supported by this power. In her previous life, she was married to King Xiang, is she alone unwilling to be only a princess of Xiang? Of course not, her ears are full of encouraging voices, and those people are expecting her to surpass the glory of Concubine Zhao and become a queen with a phoenix seal in her hand!
Li Fei looked around, looking at the faces that he knew but only recognized, and recalled the voices and smiles of everyone in the Li family in his mind, including Uncle Lin Yi and Uncle Lin He, especially his mother. Li Fei thought, she was forced to shape her today, forced to the future of her and Zhao Yanheng's future, it was rational to choose the Zhu family, and the mother, uncles and brothers she cared about were also sensible and considerate of her, but she thought about it so much that she couldn't even breathe, so she covered her neck with her hands, pressed the sides of her neck and slowly let out a breath, and said, "Forget it, I've been calling Li Fei for seventeen years, and I'm used to it." ”
The unwilling affection on Grandma Pei's face was highlighted, and she stood up and walked over with her support on the table, how could such a major event that affected everyone's interests be done for such a funny reason.
Zhu Miaohua rubbed her ears in disbelief, she was wondering if there was something wrong with her ears or Li Fei's brain, not to mention the current shape of the Zhu family and the Li family, it was not a very decent thing to take her mother's surname alone.
Li Fei also stood up and greeted Grandma Pei, she was caught in the middle and could neither give up her mother's clan nor offend her father's clan, so today's son, her temper had to be restrained, and she had to be more amiable to everyone.
The foot only moved out half a step, and Grandma Pei's plump and white hands held Li Fei's hands, Grandma Pei looked at this cousin, who was nearly ten years younger than her daughter, and opened her mouth and said: "You child, you can't be confused, follow your father's surname, you ask which one is present, it's all a matter of course." ”
"The eldest sister-in-law's maiden family is surnamed Fu, for the eldest sister-in-law, for everyone present, of course this is a matter of course, from the day the eldest sister-in-law entered the Zhu family, she became Zhu Fu, your surname is now Zhu, it is the Zhu family, open the family tree, your name is embellished after the eldest brother. Li Fei said with a smile, and then the smile faded, Li Fei sighed with a heavy and helpless heart: "But only I am different, my father's surname is Zhu, my mother's surname is Li, and there is no name of my mother on the Zhu family's genealogy." ”
The expression on Grandma Pei's face stiffened, at the beginning, these people did not give a message to Zhu Qin, and asked Zhu Qin to do his best to reconcile with Li Yue, and her husband Zhu Pei ignored the rule that the family tree is revised once every three years, and after Zhu Qin and Li Yue were separated for two months, the Li family was crossed out on the family tree and the Xu family was added. Grandma Pei smiled wryly, and said hesitantly: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”
Grandma Pei thought that Li Fei was asking for a title for her mother, they wanted to give this title, and the reunion was also a kind of beautiful talk, but it couldn't be given for the time being, Zhu Qin's mother had been dead for less than a year, and he had to keep filial piety for twenty-seven months, so the words of remarriage can't be said clearly, even if it's easy to say, it's easy to say, and if you get out of filial piety, you will do it immediately.
Li Fei wanted to put Grandma Pei's hands down, endured it, exhaled and said kindly: "I didn't serve the old lady for a day, I just heard my mother talk about the old people and old things of the Zhu family, saying that the old lady's Cai family is neither the surname of the biological father nor the surname of the biological mother, it is the unfortunate early death of the biological father, and the second marriage of the biological mother into the Cai Gate, the old lady followed the surname of the stepfather, and there is no change!"
Many of Li Fei's peers and juniors present were very young, and they didn't remember this kind of old past for a while, so they whispered for a while.
Grandma Pei is not a few years younger than Cai's, when she served her mother-in-law, she didn't listen to her mother-in-law expose Cai's shortcomings, Cai's life experience is a big shortcoming, the father died and the mother remarried, and it took eight lifetimes of good fortune to enter the door of the Zhu family and give birth to a son in the old man's later years.
Li Fei is not revealing Cai's shortcomings, she is full of admiration, and admires: "The grace of nurturing will not be forgotten for a day, and the old lady makes me admire ......"
Grandma Fengsan finally saw that Li Fei's attitude was wrong, and she was afraid that Li Fei would say it to death impulsively, so she immediately intercepted Li Fei and Grandma Pei, and said regretfully to Li Fei: "Yes, it's a pity that my sister hasn't seen the old lady before, and the old lady has talked about it before her death, and she always wants to see your granddaughter." ”
Some words were known to be false as soon as they heard it, but on this occasion, Li Fei also closed his mouth knowingly.
What is there to admire about the Cai family, that's it, it's not the father's surname, it's not the mother's surname, it's the Cai family who raised her, she is the Cai family, the so-called giving is not as good as raising grace, that's it. Li Fei said half of the words, and the other half of the words were in his mouth, pondering in everyone's hearts.
Li Fei turned her head and stood in her place, picked up the wine jug and poured herself a glass of wine, and spilled the overflowing wine on the back of her hand, she didn't care about this, she held the wine glass with her hand and saluted around, and said with an apologetic smile: "I'm a little unwell now, I can't support it, I'm going to be rude to you." My four younger sisters are with you, and you all eat and drink well and have a good chat!"
After speaking, he took a sip of the glass of wine, the wine glass fell on the table, Li Fei turned around and left alone, his steps did not hesitate, and even disappeared from everyone's sight with a little hurry.
Zhu Miaohua slowly stood up and watched Li Fei move away, her expression was stunned, and then she lost her soul, and finally her wide-open eyes were smeared with a little pain.
Zhu Miaocong and Zhu Miaohua sat together, she pulled Zhu Miaohua's sleeve, and said softly, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhu Miaocong has no attitude towards Li Fei's recognition of his ancestors and returning to his ancestors, anyway, there is not much difference between her from the second to the third, she thinks that for Zhu Miaohua, a girl, there is not much difference from the eldest daughter to the second daughter, so she doesn't understand why Zhu Miaohua's expression is so complicated and full of unspeakable secrets.
"Nothing. Zhu Miaohua really didn't say anything, and sat down slowly.
Song Duofu was also at the table, but she was a small person, and she didn't attract much attention when she quit early, she paused for a moment and chased after Li Fei quickly, and chased Li Fei with her head down and only looked at the peacock pattern on Li Fei's skirt and said, "Fei Fei...... I can't help you at all. ”
Today's Song Duofu watched from beginning to end, and she could only watch it dryly, just as a spectator.
"It has nothing to do with you. Li Fei was a little depressed, continued to walk in the direction of Yuqin Mountain House, suddenly stopped his steps, and said, "Aunt Ji, give me a car!"
As soon as Li Fei walked around the Xuanguo Mansion, he was followed by his mother-in-law and maids, and when he was not alone, Ji Qing's daughter-in-law, who was following closely, hesitated.
"Prepare the car to go to Xiangwang's Mansion. Who does it have to do with whom, Li Fei walked straight towards the second gate, turned his head and asked Song Duofu: "Are you going?"
"Good...... All right. Song Duofu stammered, she could see Cheng Anguo when she went to Xiangwang's Mansion, of course she was willing to follow, but she glanced at Li Fei again, Li Fei's complexion was not very good, a little pale.
The carriage with two blue oil cloth pendants and copper horn lamps galloped on the road, and soon arrived at the side gate of Xiangwang's Mansion, this time Li Fei was not reserved outside the door, and Song Duofu looked for their own, and she entered Xuande Hall all the way.
The little inner eunuch who was in charge of handling and sprinkling Xuande Hall was very attentive, and came in with tea: "Miss Li will sit for a while and look at the calligraphy and paintings in the house, and the master has entered the palace." ”
Li Fei came unfortunately, Zhao Yanheng entered the palace and came back on time, and the little inner supervisor pointed to a pear blossom wood treasure inlay person into the treasure bookcase and said: "These book girls are waiting to be flipped." There are three bookcases on the same side, Li Fei also understands the meaning, and the books in the other two bookcases just can't be read casually, Li Fei once again looked at the small inner prison in front of him, and saw that he had clear eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, thirteen or fourteen years old, his body bones did not grow and there was no man's physique, but there was a weakening of a girl, Li Fei said: "What is your name, can you read, how many books have you read?"
"The slave maid is called Tian Shen, and he entered the palace at the age of seven. Tian Shen smiled innocently when he said it, and said: "At that time, a group of people who came in with him, His Royal Highness let a knowledgeable old gentleman come to teach, and allowed the slaves and maids who were excellent in reading to read a large number of books in the house, so the slaves and maids were quite literate and read a few books. ”
This is naturally modest, and he guards Xuande Hall as a talented and studious person in the same batch of internal prisons, and reads a cabinet of books.
Political disagreement!
Li Fei knew that when her grandfather Li Tai was alive, he was the most opposed to eunuchs reading and literacy, saying that reading and literacy is to distinguish between right and wrong, and to forge ambitions.
Standing in front of the bookcase, Li Fei hurriedly looked at the books on several floors, and did not have the interest of calming down to read the books for the time being, and walked around the hall, looking at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, the furnishings in the Duobao Pavilion, and finally walked to the bookcase to watch the utensils on it.
On a piece of felt there is a piece of Chengxintang paper that is as smooth as a mirror, a piece of Supa is covered on the paper, and it can be vaguely seen that it is a painting that has not been finished.
The half of the painting that greeted Li Fei calmed Li Fei a little from his irritable and depressed mood.
In the painting, a woman is wearing a crimson palace dress, holding a lotus lantern in both hands and putting it on the water, smiling at the corners of her mouth, her eyes are charming, and her delicate facial features are her in the painting.
Wait a minute...... Li Fei tasted it carefully.
The person in this painting is her and not her.
First of all, she is not married yet, and the person in the painting combs her hair in a woman's bun, and then there is the charming demeanor of the eyebrows, Li Fei asked herself that she has not yet tempered this style.
Su Pa carefully covered it back, and Li Fei deliberately pulled the four corners to maintain the original appearance as much as possible, and then the mood was even more messy.
After that, Li Fei didn't have the leisure to take a closer look at this Xuande Hall, and sat quietly and waited.
