Li Fei wore a garnet red coat and looked out of the checkered window, led by Sister-in-law Jiang, who wore a dark brown placket carved silk long jacket, gray hair wrapped into a round bun, wearing four symmetrical silver hairpins, black bags under his eyes, gray complexion, and eager eyes, completely without the joy of welcoming a newborn. Expecting that the third aunt would encounter a tricky mother again this time, Li Fei got dressed and went to Mrs. Li's house.

Mrs. Li is seventy years old, her eyes are not good, her eyes are white, and she has to wash her eyes with more than ten ointments made of Chinese medicine such as bear bile, pearl, *, musk, Su Ren, borneol, etc. every day before going to bed, this is patient and meticulous work, Mrs. Li often asks Le's and Li Yue to serve, if they are not there, Li Fei can also do this work.

"Mother, Fei'er is here. Leshi took a medicine cup the size of his thumb and a medicine spoon that was no smaller than a small fingernail, and nodded to Li Fei.

"It's Fei'er here!" Mrs. Li lay on the bed, holding a small piece of white cotton handkerchief in her hand, raised her hand and wiped the potion that overflowed the corner of her eyes and said to Le's: "You go to meet the guest, if you are in a hurry to go out now, take Sister-in-law Lu over to take care of it." ”

Li Fei washed his hands and took the things in Le's hand, Le's went out, Li Fei nodded his eyes while talking to Mrs. Li.

"I see that Ah Su didn't eat much dinner today, and he seems to be unhappy, is it because he is not happy with the Zhao family next door at noon today?"

Li Fei slightly knew that Li Suhuai couldn't show his depressed anger, and it was also vain to tell Mrs. Li that such words were also sad, so Li Fei briskly told Li Qi'er and Tang Jiaqiaoqiao about coming to beg for candy today, and said: "Just rush to this official talk that has no mixed southwest colloquialism, and the second brother also said that Qi'er should play with this cousin of the Zhao family more." Presumably, the second brother lost his appetite after drinking too much wine at noon today. ”

Mrs. Li was lying bored in bed and needed someone to talk to her, but when it came to having such a little girl, Mrs. Li thought carefully before saying: "The son of the Zhao family is from Huguang, this little doll grew up in Yunnan, and she has no spoken language on both sides. ”

Yunnan is a land of a hundred people, with a complex population and many language families, and the people here open their mouths to speak official with a thick original accent, like Tang Qiaoqiao, who is three years old and breaks his words so much, like Li Qier, even if everyone in the family speaks official language, she can't stand it from hearing a sentence or two outside, and parroting.

Jiang is still old and spicy, Mrs. Li is like this, Li Fei has a little doubt in his heart, but this doubt should have nothing to do with his own family, Li Fei himself explained: "Zhao Gongzi said today that his family is in the capital, and the cousins here may value this." ”

After the dropping of the potion, Li Fei put two tea bags on Mrs. Li's eyes, Mrs. Li closed her eyes and rested, and Li Fei lay on the bedside of Mrs. Li gossiping.

Le Shi changed into a neat and neat clothes, and said goodbye when he entered the door: "Mother, I went to Chengjiang Mansion to ......"

"Chengjiang Mansion?" Mrs. Li took off the tea bag on her eyes, sat up on Li Fei's shoulder, and said: "The current prefect of Chengjiang is Qian Tong's nephew, do their daughters need to ask for someone like us another night to give birth?"

"It's not someone from the Qian family who came to invite me. It was the proprietress of the former Rose King shop. Le's glanced at Li Fei, Li Fei had no intention of retiring, Le's continued: "Mother also knows that family, and says that the rose sauce and rose cake made by that family are delicious. ”

Mrs. Li recalled this family and said, "Yes, their family didn't do anything last year, and I'm a bad mouth, and the rose sauce I use now is not as sweet as his family." ”

Le Shi walked to Mrs. Li's knee and said: "Last year, his daughter was taken by the prefect of Qian, and he couldn't help but say that he robbed the ninth aunt's wife, and the two members of the Wang family fell ill because of this matter, and the shop was closed, her daughter was pregnant, and Mrs. Wang counted the month ten months earlier, and there was no movement for a long time, Mrs. Wang was anxious, and asked me to see the fetal image." ”

Qian Tong is the eunuch of Yunnan, everyone at the bottom calls him Qian Yan'er, he is famous for his greed, and his nephew is not a good product, all thanks to his uncle who was a eunuch to get the position of the prefect, the fish and meat side. Mrs. Li is disgusted with such people, disgusted with useless detours, and doesn't want to care about the affairs of the Qian family, but this ninth aunt is a bitter master herself, her parents are not bad for money when they open a dim sum shop, Qian Zhifu is a flower Tai Sui, Miss Wang was originally married, and was forced into the house by Qian Governor's Mansion, how could Miss Wang be willing, the old couple was angry, and her fiancé died in Dianchi in the past few days, and he didn't make a wave. The eunuch is the eyes and ears of the emperor, supervising the officials of all sizes in Yunnan, even the Qianguo Mansion does not dare to offend him, his nephew robs the people's daughters, and robs them. Li Fei thought of Mrs. Wang's haggard face, and couldn't help but feel compassion.

Old Mrs. Li was also compassionate, and sighed and said, "Go ahead, if you can help that girl Wang, help her." But the Qian family is a villain, you should be careful. ”

After Le's went, the atmosphere in the house became heavy, and Li Fei didn't leave, took off his clothes and slept in a quilt with Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li caressed her granddaughter's shoulders in the dark, and the son-in-law of the Wang family could only choose to commit suicide by throwing herself into the lake, this is the nest of the people, thinking of her granddaughter's beauty that was better than her daughter's back then, Mrs. Li once again looked at Lu Yinglin's person, the relationship between the Guo family, the official position of a thousand households, the blood and courage of a body, and the love between Li Fei's eyebrows, this is indeed a husband who can be entrusted for life. Old Mrs. Li thought about it again, became more and more satisfied with Lu Yinglin, and said, "The brothers and sisters of the Long family are coming tomorrow, do you have anything to give?"

The name of the Luo Luo people is a joint system, the first character of the son's name is the last character of the father's name, and the filial piety advocated by the Han people is to avoid the name of the parents. Therefore, all ethnic groups in Yunnan return to the Han family, and the court will give them Han surnames, many of the Luo Luo people have the surname Long, Lu Yinglin, a pair of younger siblings, the younger brother is called Long Wuzhou, and the younger sister is called Long Wenxiu.

Li Fei was about to fall asleep in a haze, but when he mentioned Lu Yinglin, he cheered up and said: "I prepared a piece of fragrant ink for Wuzhou and a box of facial grease for Wenxiu." Xiangmo was brought by my mother from Jinling two years ago, and the face fat was newly made by Uncle Xiaohe. "In short, it's a good thing to give.

Mrs. Li regarded the two brothers and sisters as Li Fei's future brother-in-law and sister-in-law, and admonished: "This time, invite them to come to the house to sit and have a meal, and I will also look at the juniors." ”

Li Fei smiled: "They wanted to come to see you last time, you didn't say they couldn't see you." ”

"The woman's family always has to be reserved, to spit little by little, it is best if Tang Seng has experienced a ninety-nine eighty-one difficulty, and the man knows that the girls in our family are difficult to find, and when the hard-to-find people ask for it, they will cherish it more, I think about it now, it was too early for your mother to give the Zhu family, as if it was a rare duchess in our family. Just because your father is one year younger than your mother, I don't like it very much, the woman is one year older and marrying a husband is like hugging a younger brother, what day was it, your father was still doing things that didn't matter, I really didn't have time to fight with him!"

At that time, Li Yue and Zhu Qinhe left that time, they really didn't know that they were pregnant, Li Fei was indeed born in July, and went to Sichuan to diagnose it, at that time, the Li family could speak, Mrs. Li, Cao's Le's family said that they were born and raised, but they couldn't be born in vain, and they couldn't be raised in vain, this child, whether it was a boy or a girl, had to be surnamed Li, of course, the Li family didn't teach Li Fei to recognize the Zhu family, Zhu Qin was the father, Mrs. Li mentioned it, or let Li Fei call her father, but the man who failed her daughter, Mrs. Li never had a good word when she mentioned it。

Mrs. Li is really old, and when she is old, she often talks about the past, and only then thinks about her granddaughter's marriage, so she turns over her daughter's old accounts.

Li Fei has heard these words countless times, and when Mrs. Li wants to say it, Li Fei will ask every time: "Then why did you give my mother to my father early, the two of them were only in their early tens, and they were too young!"

Mrs. Li thought back to 20 years ago and said: "Your grandfather, Mrs. Zhu was seriously ill at that time, and it was not easy for us to drag this matter on our side, as well as your father's three sisters, they were all in charge of the palace alone, they all valued your mother, your father was only ten years old at the time, and he really couldn't see that it was good. At this time, your relatives are going around and looking for a young man who lost his father, this mother said that he would remarry, and he is also a person with an idea, and the man in the Qianguo Mansion is romantic, I have to take a good look at it this time......"

This is turning on Li Fei again, Li Fei defended it in a timely manner, and said: "Lu Yinglin is twenty-one!"

Mrs. Li snorted and said, "Four years old, it's almost there." The age difference between the husband and wife is too big, there is always one who leaves early, and he can't be a companion when he is old, there is enough difference in the age of such a few years, and he knows how to love his wife, Meng Fan and Uncle Fan's two pairs of mouths, Ah He and Ah Mu, your Uncle Ah Mu has been holding it in his hand for so many years, Ah He is a man and he also admits it, and he has no heirs, and he has no children for three years to go to the ghost......"

Mrs. Li ordered all her children again, and then fell asleep groggily, and had a good night's sleep, but in the early morning, the cry of the girl next door kept coming, the child's voice was crisp, and the time for crying and tea did not stop, Lu Shi listened and said in shock: "I see that the next door is in and out of the small house, and a group of men don't know if they will take the child, so the child is crying like this, what's wrong?"

Mrs. Li couldn't hear the child's cry, so she took Li Fei's hand and stood up and said, "I'll go over and see the child." ”

Li Fei held Mrs. Li's hand and said, "Don't move around, I'll ask my second sister-in-law." If there's something going on, I'll show you. ”

There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, Mrs. Li has seen many children with her, and she may be able to see it.
