Chapter 70: The Old Tale Comes Again

April 16 is the birthday of the second master of the Liu family. Because there is still an old mother in the hall at home, and it is not a whole birthday, the second master Liu has already said that he should not go to Dali, but when the family gathers in one place, it is okay to have a good time.

Although the second master Liu said so, there are precedents for the birthdays of several masters and wives of the Liu family. Although it is not publicized, it should not be too frugal. Because now Mrs. Liu and Grandma Liu are in charge of the house, Mrs. Liu sent a message in advance, and the second master Liu's birthday will be handed over to Liu Yujiang and Grandma Liu to prepare.

This was decided by Mrs. Liu at night, when everyone gathered in Mrs. Liu's house to say hello to Mrs. Liu and talk to Mrs. Liu.

At that time, Master Liu San and Mrs. Liu San were also present, and Mrs. Liu San glanced at Master Liu San. Master Liu San got up and told Mrs. Liu that he wanted to celebrate the birthday of Second Master Liu, and he, as a younger brother, also had to contribute.

"The old lady's birthday was all handled by my brother, sister-in-law, nephew, and niece-in-law. The second brother is on his birthday, and we are the younger brother and brother's daughter-in-law, and it is time to contribute. ”

Saying this, Mrs. Liu became happy, and Mr. Liu San took advantage of the situation and proposed to let Mrs. Liu San help with the banquet and entertain the guests. Mrs. Liu nodded, and then instructed Mrs. Liu San and Grandma Liu to be in charge of all matters related to Master Liu's birthday banquet. Of course, the outside affairs are still handled by Liu Yujiang, Liu San, and Liu Yuxiang.

Mrs. Liu and the others knew that this was planned by Mrs. Liu San, and wanted to take this opportunity to meddle in the housekeeper's affairs, but they couldn't stop it.

Mrs. Liu San was full of excitement. I also discussed with Mrs. Liu, and I wanted to bring Liu Ruoxi and Liu Ruoshan.

"They're getting older. should also learn to take charge of family affairs and go out in the future. The director of the house will not be constrained. The four girls have followed me since she was a child, and I have been letting her learn. Mrs. Liu San said to Mrs. Liu, "At home, the eldest lady and grandmother have always been in charge, and I heard that they often bring the eldest girl,...... The second girl, the third girl, and the eldest sister are not small. ”

Mrs. Liu San said so. He glanced at Mrs. Liu.

"It's better to let a few of them follow me this time, and also go through the experience and learn to learn. Although I am not as capable as the eldest wife, I do not hide my selfishness, and I am most willing to teach the younger generation. ”

Mrs. Liu San had something to say, accusing Mrs. Liu of dominating the position of housekeeper, but only caring about Liu Ruoyuan, but ignoring the other girls in the family. Liu Ruojuan and her eldest sister are all in her room. Only Liu Ruoxi is the most neglected.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The big girl is only two years older, and the old lady loves her a little. I thought that the second girl and the third girl were still young, and the girl's family. Enjoying the blessings of a few years in my mother's house is just a lot of hard work and hard work, and it is also a piece of compassion for our elders. …… This year, I also have to report to the old lady. Take it with you to learn. Mrs. Liu didn't smile and got up. Said to Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu nodded.

"The third lady has a good idea. It's time for them to let a few little school housekeepers be the directors, just let them follow you. You're good with them. ”

Mrs. Liu praised Mrs. Liu, but she didn't say that Mrs. Liu was not.

"Let's take the eldest girl, the third girl, the fourth girl and the eldest sister first, the second girl, let her rest more, what's there, let the eldest lady teach her some." Then, Mrs. Liu commanded again.

Since Liu Ruoyuan mentioned the root of Liu Ruojuan's illness in front of Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu didn't sleep well that night, and went to Liu Ruojuan's house to see Liu Ruojuan in person the next day. Although Mrs. Liu tried her best to redeem what Liu Ruoyuan said, but Mrs. Liu already had a prejudice in her heart, and did not withdraw her fate, but because of Mrs. Liu's guarantee, Mrs. Liu did not insist on inviting a senior monk to do it again.

These days, Liu Ruojuan is almost grounded. Now, even if she followed Mrs. Liu San to learn the housekeeper's affairs, Mrs. Liu refused to let Liu Ruojuan participate.

Mrs. Liu was not angry because of this, in her heart, she didn't want Liu Ruojuan to come to Mrs. Liu San. Mrs. Liu is worried that Mrs. Liu San has bad intentions and will encourage Liu Ruojuan to do something unfavorable to the long house.

Since Mrs. Liu San received this errand in front of Mrs. Liu, she has been very attentive. She is in the three inverted seats in front of her courtyard every day, and she will definitely bring Liu Ruoyuan, Liu Ruoxi, Liu Ruoshan and the eldest sister with her. On the surface, Mrs. Liu San treats several girls equally, but behind her back, she takes special care of Liu Ruoxi and Liu Ruoshan, and as she herself said, she refuses to hide her secrets at all.

Second Mrs. Liu actually wanted Liu Ruoxi to learn some housekeeping skills, but Mrs. Liu's attitude has been tight, and Second Mrs. Liu has a gentle temperament, seeing that Mrs. Liu is not very willing, so she just let Liu Ruoxi learn to cook a little thing in her own yard. Now that Mrs. Liu San is willing to take Liu Ruoxi like this, Mrs. Liu is very grateful.

And Liu Ruoxi followed Mrs. Liu San, because she saw a completely different style from Mrs. Liu's style. Perhaps it was because she learned the lessons of the last time she cooked Mrs. Liu's birthday banquet, Mrs. Liu San was in charge this time, and she did not make a big move to beat or provoke people, but Liu Ruoxi saw Mrs. Liu San planting her own people everywhere.

Mrs. Liu San is in charge, Liu Ruoyuan must come over on time every day, and she is still staring at Liu Ruoxi, she will not leave until Liu Ruoyuan leaves.

"This is here to keep an eye on us," Liu Ruoshan couldn't see it, and said to Liu Ruoshan in private, "Third sister, believe it or not." What we say and do, she has to learn to tell the eldest lady when she goes back. ”

Liu Ruoxi smiled and nodded, and turned her head to look at Mrs. Liu San.

"The third aunt must have known it a long time ago."

"Don't take this to heart." Mrs. Liu San smiled and said, of course, Mrs. Liu San had expected this situation. She and Grandma Liu are on the board together, even if they want to put aside Liu Ruoyuan, there are Mrs. Liu's eyes and ears everywhere in this house, and they can't hide any movement from Mrs. Liu. "Just let her follow, lest the other side be suspicious and think that I have done something."

"This home should be managed by everyone. Your mother loves to be quiet, and she doesn't want to interfere. As long as she wants, she shouldn't take care of everything in the long room. ”

Mrs. Liu San is determined to hold the birthday of the second master Liu well, so as to show her talents, and then intervene in the management of household affairs, which is logical. She managed it well, Master Liu San went to talk to Mrs. Liu, and with the support of Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu San was bound to win this time.

Even if Mrs. Liu San doesn't handle the birthday of Second Master Liu this time, she wants to take care of the house, and Second Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi also support her.

Second Master Liu's birthday is not extravagant, so it will be cooked in a few days. Mrs. Liu San took the set banquet and guest list, and took Grandma Liu to Mrs. Liu's house first, and invited Mrs. Liu to look at Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu San and Grandma Liu both wanted to please the second room at this time, and all the preparations naturally did not displease Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu read the list, but said that it was too extravagant, so she made some changes. After that, everyone took the list and came to report to Mrs. Liu.

Originally, this kind of thing had to be nodded by Mrs. Liu before it could be sent to Mrs. Liu. But now that Mrs. Liu San is in charge, she ignores Mrs. Liu's joint. In the words of Mrs. Liu San, just let "the eldest lady enjoy the blessings with her".

Mrs. Liu listened to Mrs. Liu's report, and did not refuse, but only said that everyone had discussed it and just acted according to the routine. Mrs. Liu San has been very docile in front of Mrs. Liu recently, and Mrs. Liu Second and Liu Ruoxi often say good things about Mrs. Liu San, and Mrs. Liu's attitude towards Mrs. Liu San has become more and more gentle.

Seeing that Second Master Liu's birthday is approaching, another matter has also been put on the agenda.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ On that day, the old lady must have brought it up again. On this day, Second Master Liu, Second Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi sat on the couch and discussed, "When the time comes, we must also have an explanation." ”

Mrs. Liu has always been thinking about giving the second master Liu the matter of the heir, and every time the second master Liu has a birthday, she will definitely mention it in the middle, so that Mrs. Liu can make a decision as soon as possible. This year, Mrs. Liu will definitely push harder.

"It's ...... Jishiro's business," Mrs. Liu frowned slightly, "I don't think it will work." Although the third wife didn't say anything, she was unhappy to see her usual words and deeds. ”

These days, Mrs. Liu San always intentionally or unintentionally avoided letting Liu Yuhuai get close to Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu's approach is an obvious statement in the eyes of Mrs. Liu.

"I hinted at this matter with the third brother again, and the third brother was willing, but he just said that the third wife was there, and he had to talk slowly." Second Master Liu said.

"How long will it take to turn slowly?" Liu Ruoxi said. Although Master Liu San is a military attachΓ©, he is quite tactful. It's impossible to do something like that. "Let's wait slowly, I'm afraid it's the old lady, and there are others, so we can't wait slowly."

"This time, the old lady will definitely mention the matter of succession, father, mother, I think, we should have a good talk with the third uncle and third aunt, so as not to have trouble when the time comes." Liu Ruoxi said.

"That's the truth, it's better to say it in advance than to say it in front of the old lady at that time. If not, we won't mention it. Second Master Liu nodded.

Mrs. Liu also nodded, and the three of them discussed. Mrs. Liu Er asked the small kitchen to prepare a banquet, and the second master Liu sent someone to invite the third master Liu over, and the brothers drank wine and slowly led the topic to the matter of passing on to the stepchildren.
