Chapter 8: A Collection of Poems
Aunt Song saw that Master Li San married the daughter of a businessman, and at first she looked at Sanfang with the mood of watching jokes, thinking that this old lady was pitiful if she was not favored, and her sister-in-law could only marry such a woman, she was embarrassed, and she was not afraid that others would laugh at her son. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
How do you know that later, the small days of the third room are getting more and more prosperous, and then I know that Mrs. Li is really not partial, and she doesn't marry her son a daughter, but she really thinks about her son, and then she is complained by her son who has no money to spend, and then looks at how well the third room is doing, and she is very depressed.
And the second master Li looked unhappily at the down-and-out wife of the noble family who had few dowries that his biological mother found for him, and his mood was extremely bad, thinking about the use of having no money and just having an identity, and his identity can't be eaten!
So because the second wife had no money, the relationship with the second wife was quite bad.
Aunt Song was complained by her son, and then seeing that Second Mrs. Li didn't have much money, she wouldn't think that this was her own choice, she couldn't complain about others, and she was also quite bad to Second Mrs. Li, so Second Mrs. Li's life in the second room was quite difficult, which was also the reason why she wanted her daughter to marry a good family and follow her better.
Just when Mu Hibiscus was talking to Lilac and others about the third wife's brother, the second girl in the second room was about to smash something, and it was the gold-inlaid jade bracelet that Loquat had just sent.
"Let the eldest girl and the third girl pick it up, only this last one is left to pick the leftovers before I send it!
In fact, what she said was not bad, it stands to reason that she should indeed be the second to pick, but this is not because the second room has no status, and others don't take them seriously at all? So Loquat let the third girl pick first, and then go to the second girl's side, anyway, although the second girl is a concubine, but she is not as famous as the third girl, and she is also a concubine, and her status in the house is not as good as the third girl.
Second Mrs. Li saw that Li Lan was going to smash the bracelet, so she hurriedly stopped her and said, "My son, don't smash it, this thing is valuable, you are going to smash it, my mother will be distressed." Besides, this thing is good, you go to the Cheng'en Mansion and wear it. β
Second Mrs. Li is also an earl's concubine, Ding Dangxiang, who is as poor as the Li family, when she got married, the dowry was only three or four thousand taels, and the silver in the box was only one thousand taels, which was extremely shabby, and Mrs. Li San's dowry of 20,000 taels and 10,000 taels of silver in the box could not be compared at all, so she cherished a little bit of something, and she was willing to smash it.
When Li Lan heard about the Cheng'en Mansion, she couldn't help it and didn't smash it, but she couldn't bear the contempt of Sanfang, so she said, "I'll ask the third aunt if she ordered this." β
If she ordered it, she would have pointed out that it was wrong for her to disregard the elders and children in this order, and if she had not ordered it, it would have been her own opinion, and she would have asked the third aunt to punish the cheap slave.
Li Lan said this, and Second Mrs. Li felt reasonable, so she didn't object.
Li Lan went out of the yard, angrily went to the third lady, wanted to ask her for an explanation, when passing through the garden, found a book of poems lying on the path, Li Lan picked it up and doubled it, just turned a page Li Lan's hand paused, her eyes widened, and the whole person's breathing became heavy.
The poems in this poetry collection are all things she has never seen, but they are all good poems and good words, and each one is so good, can she not breathe heavily? She bet that this is a poem that she has never seen on the market, and she doesn't know who wrote it, but she doesn't care who wrote it, she only knows that when she arrives at the Chengen Mansion, she can shine with these poems, and when she thinks of this, she can't help but be excited, and when she sees someone coming from the left and right, she feels that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, so Li Lan is not in the mood to go to Mrs. Li San to reason, so she took the poetry collection and left.
- Congratulations, this collection of poems saved the loquat, otherwise Li Lan would really tell the third lady, although the third lady will not punish her for Li Lan, but she will always show it on her face.
And after Li Lan left, a person came out from behind the rockery, and saw Li Lan happily walking away with the poetry collection, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile.
Second Mrs. Li couldn't help but be surprised when she saw that Li Lan had just come out and came back, and said, "Girl, didn't you go to your third aunt to ask about the bracelet? Why did you come back so soon?"
Li Lan felt that the book of poems could not be told to others casually, so she only said: "I think it's better to work hard to compose poems, I don't want to waste time on that kind of trivial matter." β
Li Lan had already stuffed the poetry collection into her sleeve, and Mrs. Li didn't see anything unusual, so when she said this, although she felt strange, she didn't ask much, and she felt that it was indeed the matter of the Cheng'en Mansion that was more important, and the matter of Mrs. Li San's affairs could be taken care of afterwards. β
Li Lan nodded, then went back to her residence, retired from the people, looked at the book of poems alone, looked at it, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and felt that the poems in it were wonderful, I had never seen so many good poems, so I memorized it hard at the moment to do what I needed.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Mu Hibiscus slept again after lunch, got up a quarter of an hour before taking over, wiped his face, and hurried with Lilac to Mrs. Li in the upper room.
As soon as he took over, he saw the eldest girl Li Xin walk in and said with a smile: "Mother, you called me?"
Mrs. Li smiled and said: "Yes, your third aunt's brother has brought a lot of materials, you can take a look, pick one, and your mother will help you cut some clothes, and then go to Cheng'en Mansion to wear them." β
Li Xin nodded, and immediately picked a pale pink print, without pretentiously shirking it, saying that he would wait for the other sisters to come over and choose together.
Buddha relies on gold, people want clothes, good clothes, directly affect the image of the Cheng'en Mansion in a few days, so she naturally will not pretend to be that feeling, even if there is no selection together, others will say what about her, this year, the king is defeated, a person, as long as you succeed, others will only see your scenery, will not say anything else, on the contrary, if you fail, no matter how good you do, others will also find out this fault and that fault, to prove that you are not doing well, so you failed, the previous life was like this, she tried her best to maintain her reputation, what is the result, Li Shu stumbled with her and her mother every day, she is still proud, she can see through the worldγ
After Li Xin had picked it, Mrs. Li instructed Mu Hibiscus to put away the cloth, and then asked Bai Ling to call a few other girls to come - these fabrics were given to the house, not to her personally, so Mrs. Li naturally could not swallow it herself, but to make clothes for the whole house, of course, as the head of the house, she could naturally let her daughter choose first, and when her daughter was chosen, she would call others to come and choose.
Knowing that Mrs. Li likes to make small profits, Mu Hibiscus was not surprised at all by Mrs. Li's behavior, probably because the house is getting more and more down, so Mrs. Li is getting more and more desperate, and she has to fight for a little bit of a small benefit, but sometimes she still feels quite speechless when she sees it, and feels that a lady of everyone, there is no need to get to this point, it is too cheap.
Although she thought so in her heart, she was just a subordinate, so naturally she was not qualified to say anything, so when she saw that Mrs. Li asked her to put away the material, she picked it up and put it in Mrs. Li's room.
After a while, the second, third, fourth, and fifth girls came.
