Chapter 69: Liu Xi's Plans
Seeing that Li Sheng dared to throw her face in front of her parents, Chrysanthemum was so angry that she was in front of her parents, and she was afraid that her parents would get angry with her, so she endured it without having a seizure. When they returned to their new house, Chrysanthemum said angrily: "The surname Li, the second day after getting married, you shook my face in front of my father and mother, what do you want?" ”
Li Sheng said lightly: "Lady, I just talked about things, and I didn't show anyone my face, but you were too careful." ”
Chrysanthemum said angrily: "What bullshit is about things, your father and mother have been ancient for more than ten years, what if you go a few days earlier and a few days later?" My father and mother wasted a lot of effort in order to give us a marriage, you didn't stay with them for the New Year, you have to go back to worship your father and mother, and you have to take me away, don't you hurt my father's heart? Say, "What is your intention?" Do you think that if I marry you, I am your person, and I should listen to you for everything, even my father and mother have to look at your face? Don't forget, it wasn't me who married you, it was you who came to our family. ”
When Li Sheng heard this, his face changed in vain, and he said coldly: "I don't know if the lady has ever read the "Women's Training" and "Women's Rules", can you know the truth that the husband is the wife?" Hasn't anyone taught a lady how to be a good wife and mother? ”
Chrysanthemum sneered and said: "I'm sorry, I haven't read "Women's Training" and "Women's Rules", "Mr. Dongguo and the Wolf", "The Farmer and the Snake" The story has been read, the wolf and the snake will take revenge, and the final outcome is really relieving hatred, and it is very happy!" ”
Li Sheng heard that Chrysanthemum was mocking him with wolves and snakes, and he was very angry, but he had just gotten married and had a bad seizure, so he said forbearingly: "The lady doesn't want to go, I don't force you to be, but don't accuse Sang of scolding Huai's bad woman's morality!" ”
As soon as Chrysanthemum heard that her personality and morality were questioned, she said unscrupulously in her heart: "Bullshit women's virtues, surnamed Li, don't forget, you are in our family, and you should also talk about women's virtues, you want to put on the prestige of your husband, have the ability to make money to support your family, don't eat my family's food, don't spend my family's money, don't live in my house!" ”
These words were hurtful enough, Li Sheng was so angry that his face turned white, a pair of fists under his sleeves clenched and clenched, and finally, he said forbearingly: "Miss Shen, one day, I will let you see my Li Jing's ability!" ”
"Cut!"
Chrysanthemum snorted disdainfully and said, "Then wait for the day when you have the ability to come and show the majesty of your husband, I hope you don't rely on my family to make a fortune!" ”
These few sharp words made Li so angry that he could hardly keep calm, he flicked his sleeves and left angrily, and before leaving, he threw out four words hatefully: "Unreasonable!" ”
"Phew, you're shameless!"
Chrysanthemum didn't give in, and said loudly to the man's back through the window: "Before getting married, I pretended to be like a little sheep in front of my father, obedient and honest, and after I got married, I revealed my true form, I want to hold our family in your hands, and make your spring and autumn dreams......"
Xiaokui on the side poured a cup of tea, handed it to Chrysanthemum, and said, "Miss, my uncle is gone, don't make any noise!" ”
"He can hear it when it's gone!"
Chrysanthemum was so noisy that her voice was hoarse, she picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all, and said angrily: "Xiaokui, I'm so angry, why is he so selfish, my father promised him to wait for the New Year to worship his parents, but he didn't agree, he had to leave now, and calculated the day of departure, thinking that he was about to starve to death when he was in trouble, my father and mother took him to his home, for him to eat, for him to drink, treat him like a son, and opened a shop for him, he almost didn't give him his heart, but he actually took revenge, On the second day of marriage, he dared to throw his face at my father, did he think that he had already married me, and my father and mother couldn't help him, and our family had to look at his face? ”
Xiao Kui also felt that his uncle had gone too far, no matter what, the lord and his wife could be regarded as his benefactors, how could he accompany his father-in-law and mother-in-law to go back to worship his father and mother after the New Year, and besides, the lord had promised to let them go next spring, but he insisted on leaving now, and he didn't test the feelings of the lord and his wife at all, it was so selfish!
However, Miss is already angry, if she says something bad about her aunt at this time, I am afraid that the contradiction between the two people will intensify, and the lord and Mrs. will blame her, so Xiaokui said smartly: "This kind of thing slave maid can't say clearly, didn't the queen mother summon you to the palace today to talk, why don't you talk to the queen mother, see what the queen thinks?" ”
Yesterday's chrysanthemum wedding, because of the arrival of the emperor and queen of Qingluo Kingdom, Cai Wei couldn't go to the chrysanthemum's wedding, so she ordered the chrysanthemum couple to enter the palace today, and she wanted to bless them personally.
"Eh, yes, Cai Wei is the smartest, I'll ask her, I know what to do!" Chrysanthemum made up her mind and gradually became less angry.
Although Li Sheng was very angry, he also knew how important it was for the queen to summon him, so he did not leave the mansion, but only ran to the front hall and sat angrily, waiting for the time to enter the palace.
Shen Luming and his wife also went to breakfast, because their daughter and son-in-law were going to enter the palace for a while, for fear that there would be water and fire after entering the palace, so they did not ask them to have breakfast. However, neither of the couple had an appetite for food.
Today's son-in-law's cousin xiàn disappointed them too much, I thought he had recruited a fast son-in-law who rode the dragon, but according to his table xiàn today, it is hard to say whether it is a fast son-in-law or a wolf into the room......
When it was time to enter the palace, Chrysanthemum dressed up, sat in the carriage with Li Sheng, and went to the palace.
Along the way, neither of the husband nor wife spoke, nor did they look at each other, as if they were each other's air.
After entering the palace, they got out of the car outside the palace gate, were led by the eunuchs, and went to the Shouxian Palace where Cai Wei lived, this was the first time Li Sheng entered the palace, and he didn't go far inside, he was shocked by the majestic and magnificent scenery of the palace, and the original resentment against the chrysanthemums was also eliminated a lot in this imposing palace, and in his eyes, there was only awe left!
When I arrived at Shouxian Palace, I saw a building with a lot of huge glass standing in front of me, through the bright glass window, you can see many dressed palace ladies standing in it and waiting, it is quiet inside, and no one dares to be careless.
When I entered the Shouxian Palace, I saw a beautiful woman wearing a cotton jacket and a plain long skirt, sitting on the throne drinking tea. ”
Outside the palace, Chrysanthemum never worships Cai Wei, only regards Cai Wei as her best friend, but it is different in the palace, the rules in the palace are big, and there are many people.
Li Sheng also knelt down step by step, bowed to Cai Wei, royal majesty, although Cai Wei was wearing homely clothes, but it also made him a little timid in his heart, and even his voice trembled a little.
"Excuse me!"
Cai Wei put the tea cup from the official kiln on the case at hand, and said with a pleasant face: "Get up and talk quickly, the ground is cold, it's not good to see it's cold!" ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
Chrysanthemum and Li Sheng got up after thanking each other, and at this time, Cai Wei's eyes fell on Li Sheng's face, this was the first time she saw Li Sheng, and she was stunned when she saw it.
Hey? It's strange, this person looks so good-looking, as if he has seen it somewhere, but she can't remember where he saw it. However, maybe this uncle is too popular and looks good-looking.
Cai Wei didn't care too much about it, and gave them a seat, so she smiled and teased Chrysanthemum and said, "Let me see, Miss Shen is married, is there any interest?" ”
Chrysanthemum rolled her eyes and said mercilessly: "What kind of interest, it's okay if you don't die!" ”
As soon as Li Sheng heard Chrysanthemum's words, he immediately glanced at Chrysanthemum nervously, and motioned her to stop talking, the queen mother is a good friend with her, everyone in the capital knows it, Shen Juhua said this, it is clear that she is complaining to the queen mother, in case the queen mother really blames him, he will not be able to eat and walk away!
However, the queen didn't continue to ask, but ordered the palace maids to serve tea, and picked up a brocade box from the case next to her, and said with a smile: "You are married, I have nothing to give, there is a pair of mandarin ducks and jade pendants here, I look festive, and it is in line with your newlywed wishes, so I will treat it as a wedding gift for you!" ”
Xiaozhi sent the brocade box to Shen Juhua's hands, Chrysanthemum opened the brocade box, and saw that the pair of open-carved mandarin duck jade pendants were carved from the finest mutton fat white jade, handmade incomparably, the jade was transparent and white, smooth and soft, like clotted fat, without a little impurity, and it was the best jade at a glance.
"Oops, that's too expensive!"
"Thank you for the reward!"
Chrysanthemum was just about to excuse herself, but Li Sheng had already stood up and thanked Cai Wei.
Cai Wei glanced at Li Sheng and said with a light smile: "You're welcome, Chrysanthemum and I are old friends, and it is also appropriate to give her a similar congratulatory gift, Li Gongzi This is the first time to enter the palace, Zhaoqiu, you take him around to see the scenery in the palace, and it is not in vain!" ”
Li Sheng listened, hurriedly copied his sleeves, sang a fat song, and went out with Zhaoqiu.
As soon as the people went out, Cai Wei said to Chrysanthemum: "This is just getting married, what is the matter that makes you want to die, I'll listen to it!" ”
Chrysanthemum had long planned to tell Cai Wei about this, and when she heard Cai Wei ask, she told Cai Wei about the matter before and after, just like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.
When Cai Wei heard that Li Sheng turned out to be from Qingxian, her heart moved, and she suddenly remembered when she had seen this door-to-door son-in-law.
When the Queen Mother died last year, she went to Lingbei with Nangong Yi, passing through Qingxian, and when Shen's roast duck was eating, she saw a group of people downstairs escorting a pair of men and women to the county office, it is said that the man abducted the Oiran of the Qinglou and eloped, and then was both taken by people, and the man was Li Sheng.
She still remembered that when the bustard beat the oiran named Yiyi, Li Sheng felt sorry to the bone, but she didn't expect that in just one year, he would become Chrysanthemum's husband!
Did he forget Yiyi and traveled to the capital to meet the Shen family unexpectedly before marrying Chrysanthemum? Or did he premeditate, create a chance encounter and become the uncle of the Shen family, and plan to try something else in the future?
If the first one is that Li Sheng has broken off with Yiyi and wants to live with Chrysanthemum wholeheartedly, she can let their conflicts go and not interfere, after all, it is a matter of the young couple, and it is not good for her to manage too much; But if it is the second type, then Li Sheng entered the Shen family with some ulterior motive and deceived Chrysanthemum, she will definitely give him a little color to see, so that he knows the consequences of cheating others!
"Hey, Caiwei! Picking rose! What do you want? ”
Seeing Cai Wei stunned, Chrysanthemum couldn't help but stretch out her arm and shook her from a distance.
Cai Wei came back to her senses and said with a smile: "I was thinking, Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen happily added their son-in-law, but as a result, they had to return to their hometown to worship their ancestors as soon as they became sons-in-law, not only could they not stay with them for the New Year, but they also abducted their baby daughter, which is really sad!" ”
"That's it! So I'm not going to go with him! Chrysanthemum clenched her fists with an angry look on her face.
Cai Wei said: "Aren't you afraid that if you don't go back with him, will there be a gap in the relationship between your husband and wife?" ”
Chrysanthemum said: "If he was afraid that there would be a rift between us, he would not have made such an unreasonable request to me and my father, since he has put it forward, why should I care about his thoughts?" ”
I didn't expect Chrysanthemum to think about things quite thoroughly, Cai Wei was suddenly relieved, but when she thought that Chrysanthemum had already slept with that Li Sheng, in case Li Sheng still had other thoughts, wouldn't Chrysanthemum suffer a big loss?
Thinking of this, she begged for some contraceptive powder from Gui Daxian with her mind, including before and after, and quietly sprinkled it into her cup, saying, "You can taste my freshly made flower tea, if you like it, I'll wrap you a pack back later!" ”
Chunliu stepped forward, took down the half of the tea that Cai Wei had drugged, and handed it to Chrysanthemum, Chrysanthemum took it with both hands, and saw that there were a few petals of bright color floating in the teacup of the official kiln, I don't know what kind of flower it is, it is beautiful, and the taste is also very good, and it is very delicious at a glance.
Chrysanthemum is a foodie, and she is also very good at studying drinks, she took the teacup, took a sip and tasted it, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Hmm...... What kind of tea is this? It's delicious! ”
As soon as the words fell, half of the tea had already been drunk by her cow, and the contraception was about to be eaten by her, so Cai Wei was relieved!
"Since you like to drink, I'll wrap some back for you later, this is a beauty tea, the most nourishing ...... for yin and beauty"
"Mm-hmm, okay, wrap me up a little more......"
……
After Chrysanthemum left, Cai Wei ordered the eunuchs around her to go to Bishui Villa and summon Liu Xi into the palace.
At this time in previous years, Liu Xi had already gone to the north to sell his down products, but this year, there was a big incident in the capital where the earth dragon turned over, which caused extremely strict consequences, and Liu Xi was left by Cai Wei to be responsible for the design of urban construction.
Because Liu Xi in the previous life, his job before entering politics was an architect, so Liu Xi couldn't avoid the reconstruction work of the capital, and he was arrested by Cai Wei on the second day of the earthquake, and claimed that if Kyoto was not completed in one day, he would not leave for a day.
Now, finally the reconstruction of the capital has been completed, Liu Xi plans to set off to the north in these two days, although it is a little late to sell down jackets now, but the north is bitterly cold, and there are still several months of winter to pass, so he plans to go to the north in the near future, seize the tip of the tail of winter, and try to sell more down jackets!
Cai Wei also knew about this situation a long time ago, and encouraged him to develop as far away from the capital as possible, after all, his current identity is different from before, if he continues to stay in the capital, if it is found that he is not a eunuch, there will be trouble!
Liu Xi also thought of this, he was easy to recover as a man, it was impossible not to marry a wife and have children, in this world, he had no relatives, although he has always regarded Cai Wei as his relatives, but Cai Wei has his own family, his own life.
Therefore, he is also very eager to have a warm home and a gentle and lovely wife, she doesn't need to be beautiful, as long as she can love him well and give him a lot of children......
For this goal, he is willing to give up the prosperity of the capital, and he is also willing to give up the hard work in the capital, go away to a foreign country, and start a new life in a place where no one knows him. Because of the earthquake that struck the capital a few months ago, he had to stay behind to help Caiwei, so his escape plan was postponed for a few months, and now that the reconstruction of the capital has been completed, it is time for his plan to be implemented.
It's just that before the implementation, he has to sell out all his property, just like a large number of down jackets and duvet bedding in his hands, etc., it is best to get rid of them and replace them with cash silver belts on his body!
……
After entering the palace, Liu Xi was invited into the Linshui Pavilion, because he was not a eunuch anymore, Cai Wei felt that it was inconvenient to stay alone with him in a closed space, in case his identity was revealed one day, they would be given a handle on what they were together, so from beating him back to a man, every time Cai Wei met him, she would choose a place that was relatively open to the public, but the people who served her were sent aside, so as not to hear the conversation between them.
"Xiaowei, are you looking for me?"
Liu Xi sat opposite Cai Wei with a big grin, cocked Erlang's legs, and one foot kept shaking.
It's December weather, it's cold by the lake, and Cai Wei is sitting on the beauty of the Linshui Pavilion, wearing a colorful peacock fur, and holding a charcoal stove in her hand.
"Well, there's one thing I want to ask you for!"
"No way!"
Liu Xi replied mercilessly: "I have to leave within three days, I have been delayed long enough, and spring will come later, who will buy my down jacket?" Besides, you refuse to compensate for the economic losses caused to me by staying and helping, and I will no longer do this kind of loss-making business. ”
Cai Wei looked at the sky and rolled her eyelids, and said: "It's not for you to stay and help, but for you to help me pay attention to one thing when I go to the north, look at what scares you, and I still have a Erlang leg, like a negotiation, believe it or not, you can't go!" ”
"Don't, don't, don't, the queen mother, the slave knows that it is wrong, please ask the queen mother to command, no matter what happens, the slave must do it!"
Liu Xi hurriedly put down his Erlang legs, and bowed to Cai Wei with his hands folded, as long as Cai Wei was willing to let him go, he could do anything.
Actually, Cai Wei wanted Liu Xi to help her investigate Li Sheng's movements after returning to Qingxian, did he really go back to worship his ancestors? Are you still in touch with Na Yiyi? If so, he can stay in Qingxian forever to accompany his parents, if not, that's it.
When Liu Xi heard that Chrysanthemum had found such a man, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Why are all your friends married to scumbags?" First of all, the young lady of the Jian'an Hou family, married a perverted Mo Zili, and then this Shen Juhua, and married a person who was in Cao Xin in Han, speaking of which, these two girls are very good, but they are so unlucky, married to such an unbearable man, eh? Did you say you got it? ”
Cai Wei glanced at him angrily, and said: "Xiangyun is now the queen mother of Qingluo Kingdom, she is spoiled by Wanyan Jingchen like an eyeball, happy, if I really have such a great ability, I can make a remarried daughter into the mother of a country, it can be regarded as a great merit!" ”
Liu Xi laughed and said: "I hope you can make persistent efforts this time and make Shen Juhua a queen or something, in fact, Shen Juhua's girl is very good, silly, simple and kind, worthy of marrying a good man!" ”
Cai Wei glanced at him and said, "Otherwise, once you find out that Li Sheng is using chrysanthemums, you can marry chrysanthemums, I think the two of you are quite suitable, one is full of business experience, and he has a ghost heart; A simple one is like a blank piece of paper, full of thoughts and thoughts, your temperament just complements each other! ”
"Yes, don't mess around with the mandarin duck score!"
Liu Xi stood up, walked outside, and said as he walked: "Shen Juhua because I laughed at her chrysanthemum, and now I see me like a black-eyed chicken, if I marry her, I will have to jump every day, and the chicken and dog will be restless!" ”
As he spoke, he had already walked outside the Linshui Pavilion and didn't look back.
Chunliu walked over, looked at Liu Xi's back, and said indignantly: "Niangniang, you are too indulgent to Gonggong Liu, look at you are used to him, I don't bow down when I see you, and I don't kowtow when I leave, dead eunuch, I really don't know who I am anymore?" ”
Cai Wei looked at Chunliu's puffing little face, and said with a smile: "When did you learn to pick and choose, it seems that you have really grown up and have more ideas, oh, I remember, you and Zhu'er are not young now, it is better to get married before the year!" ”
When Chunliu heard this, her face turned red, and she stomped her feet and said, "Niangniang, people are talking about Grandpa Liu, why are you pulling people up?" Who said they were going to get married? Chunliu doesn't want to get married in this life, and she has to serve her mother far away for a lifetime! ”
Cai Wei smiled: "This is a stupid word, how can there be a girl who doesn't marry, don't say it's you, even Xiaozhi and Zhaoqiu, I've arranged it too!" ”
Xiaozhi is eighteen years old, in this world, she can be regarded as an older youth, Zhaoqiu is even older, she is nineteen years old, and almost all the children of the same age are running all over the ground, but she is still Yunying unmarried.
Although Cai Wei has adapted to the service of a few of them, she is not the kind of person who is selfish and sacrifices the happiness of others for her own cheapness, so she has already planned a future way out for a few of them.
Chunliu was first bought by her when she was first impressed by Aunt Zhang's picture and set for her Zhu'er, and Chunliu also had a deep affection for Zhu'er, so she didn't have to worry about anything about Cai Wei, just a dowry and it was over; Xiaozhi Caiwei plans to match Mo Liancheng, Xiao Zhi grew up in the Qin Palace, loyal to Nangong Yi, and she is thoughtful and literate and hyphenated, she is really a rare good girl, and she can't be more worthy of marrying Mo Liancheng, I believe that Aunt Mo will also like it; Zhaoqiu married Chasing Wind, Chasing Wind is already twenty-six years old, and he is still alone, although the hidden guards should not start a family, let alone have any self, but Cai Wei feels that treating a subordinate who is loyal to him like this is too cruel and too contrary to human nature, so she has already discussed with Nangong Yi, and when the hidden guards reach the age of twenty-five, they can start a family, or they can apply for retirement, and they don't have to follow the master all their lives like before, and they have no ego!
Chasing Feng is twenty-four years old this year, and it is not too late to marry him next year, so Cai Wei plans to help these school-age young people do the happy event before the year, so as to add joy......
……
In the Jian'an Hou Mansion, Xiangyun and Mrs. Wu sat on the hot kang, snorting melon seeds, and talking about themselves affectionately, Wanyan Jingchen had been invited to the palace by Nangong Yi to go to the banquet, Xiangyun had not seen his mother for a long time, and wanted to be more intimate with his mother, so he specially informed Cai Wei that he would accompany his mother at home today, and talk to Cai Wei in the palace tomorrow.
In fact, Cai Wei originally arranged for their husband and wife to stay in the palace, but Xiangyun wanted to go back to his house and live with his mother, so Cai Wei agreed.
"Mother, I plan to go to Qixia Mountain later, pay tribute to Mama Xie, you can ask someone to prepare some incense, candles, paper horses or something for me!"
Speaking of Mama Xie, Xiangyun's tone became heavy, the death of the nurse has always been something she is worried about, and I am afraid that she will not be able to let go of it in this life.
"Oh, that's not going to work!"
As soon as she heard that Xiangyun was going to Qixia Mountain, Mrs. Wu didn't even swallow the melon seeds, and said sternly: "When the earth dragon turned over a few months ago, Qixia Mountain was shaken down, and the shape of the mountain also changed, and many graves were shaken out or buried underground, and they couldn't be found at all. Besides, even if you can find it, now it's freezing and snowy, and you're pregnant again, what if you fall, what's the good if you fall, and also, Qixia Mountain is a place with extremely heavy yin qi, and the mountains are full of remnants of ghosts that the earth dragon turned over and crushed to death this time, what if it crashes into the child in your belly? ”
was told by her mother, Xiangyun hesitated, she could not care about herself, but she couldn't care about the child in her belly, in case the child was damaged because of her mistakes, she would not forgive herself in her life.
However, it was easy to come back, and she couldn't bear to go to see Mama Xie, and muttered in a low voice: "It's easy to come back, but I can't go to her old man's house, and when I come back next time, I don't know when I have to wait......
"This is easy to do, let Cuiwen and Cuiwei go on your behalf, my mother asked someone to prepare more incense, candles, paper horses, and then asked someone to make a water and land French style for Mama Xie, Mama Xie will love you for a lifetime, and I will definitely understand that you can't go to see her difficulties!"
After Mrs. Wu finished speaking, she winked at Xiangyun again, and whispered: "If Mama Xie has a spirit in the sky, she should rest in peace now, the person who harmed her has been punished, and life is better than death!" ”
Xiangyun was a little confused, and said suspiciously: "Mother, what do you mean?" ”
Mrs. Wu said with a hint of relief: "Mo Zili, that kid was smashed and paralyzed in this Earth Dragon turnover, and I heard that he couldn't get up in this life, do you say, is it retribution?" ”
Xiangyun listened, her expression was a little stunned, Mo Zi was already very vague and far away from this name to her, as if he was a person she had met in her previous life, his appearance was forgotten by her, and his good or bad could not stir up any ripples in her heart!
Mrs. Wu saw that her daughter was stunned, and thought that Xiangyun was thinking about the pain of the past, and said hatefully: "I heard that the kid later fell in love with a girl from a county magistrate's family in the north, and Li Guogong transferred the family to the capital, and the girl fell into the cliff on the way, and Mo Zili almost put his life into it in order to save people, but guess what happened later......
She deliberately sold Guanzi, wanting to arouse her daughter's interest, however, Xiangyun said lightly: "You can do whatever you like, I'm not interested in knowing, it's just that Cuiwen and Cuiwi must find Mama Xie's grave and invite more monks and Taoists to do things for her old man!" ”
Mrs. Wu originally wanted to say that the girl of the county order family didn't look down on him, she married someone else yesterday, but she didn't think that her daughter was not interested at all, so she had to keep her mouth shut......
T
