022 What about Liu's illiterate?
Let Xia Chu say that in this magical family history, the most curious thing is not how the grandfather saved the first emperor, but the old lady Liu...... She fully set out to write an evolutionary theory of "On How a Mud-Legged Peasant Girl Evolved into a Perfect Lady of Destiny", and guaranteed that the supply exceeded demand and would be a big hit!
Liu's mother-in-law is not a good stubble!
Compared with Liu, who was born as a peasant girl, the old lady was also a woman from a scholarly family - when my grandfather married a wife, the family still had a permanent property, and he himself passed the children's examination and became a well-known scholar, so he could naturally choose a wife who was the right person.
It is conceivable that this grandmother has returned to life after experiencing her husband's several failures and a plummeting family situation, and after experiencing all these changes, she did not go in the direction of being kind, but went to another bitter extreme.
She held the shelf of a good family's daughter in every possible way, holding her little five-grade fate, and looked down on Liu's - as soon as she saw Liu's, she couldn't help but think of the wolf bèi who didn't even have a good clothes!
She is vulgar, born with mud legs, she doesn't know a single word, and she hasn't had children for several years!
Therefore, it has become inevitable to take a concubine for Old Man Xia.
Xia Chu believed that this grandmother must have had the idea of asking her son to divorce his wife, but in the end it didn't happen.
However, the Liu family kept her position as a wife under the circumstances of her in-laws' many pickiness, not only won the respect of her husband, but also the concubine was obedient, and even the concubine respected her as her mother!
…… It's hard to believe that this tolerant and wise old lady was really a peasant girl who couldn't read a word!
Xia Chu felt that if she had the means of this in her previous life, maybe she would not have ended up childless in her life!
However, being a queen is not the same as being a wife to ordinary people...... As for what's different, anyway, she has never heard of a queen who dares to lose her temper with Emperor Lao Tzu.
In front of the emperor, the empress must also call herself a concubine...... She was a minister first, then a wife!
Liu changed into a sandalwood-scented coat, wrapped a piece of felt and carried his granddaughter to read the scriptures on the couch.
There were two charcoal pots burning in the house, and it was very warm.
After a while, the beginning of summer was a little drowsy again.
The old lady waved her hand, and Mama Gu and Ruxiang walked out of the inner room with interest. The curtain of thick cotton cloth was lowered to block the cold outside, and for fear that they would be sullen after staying in the house for a long time, the window lattice was opened to leave a small slit.
The rooms in the temple are still rustic, with only a bed and a desk in the room, charcoal basins on a few simple wooden shelves for warmth, and even the smoking cages outside are brought from their own homes.
Half-asleep and half-awake, Xia Chu noticed that his body moved, but his hands were not strong, his eyelids were barely opened, and he saw a figure sitting at the desk, writing something......
She was a spirit, and suddenly her whole person came to her senses!
Doesn't the old lady know how to write?
Liu is a peasant girl in the real sense, it is said that she has been doing housework since she was a child, raising pigs and poultry, and a little expert in farm work. Especially the embroidery skills learned by chance, feeding a family without pressure!
But she was illiterate, and her father and mother were honest farmers, and they couldn't read a single big word except for the good work of tending to the crops with one hand. The nearest private school schools were all in the town, and she didn't have a chance to learn to read and write secretly.
Even after getting married, she was also busy, when Mr. Xia was young, he was still looking forward to married life, looking forward to things such as "red sleeves add fragrance", but after marrying this daughter-in-law, he also gave up this unrealistic idea!
Later, the Xia family made a fortune, and the old man bought two girls for the Liu family as a dowry in order to look good - that is, Mama Gu and Mama Lu - and even rewrote a copy of the dowry list and added it completely, and forcibly tossed the Liu family, a poor middle peasant, into a rich peasant...... The land was too expensive, and he was not willing to buy it, so he did not become a landlord.
Of course, today's Liu family is no longer the aggrieved it was back then.
With a "well-married" daughter, the Liu family has slowly lived a rich life, watching the rise and fall of the in-laws, the Liu family has come to a conclusion: if you want to live a really good life, the brother of the family has to use the strength of the old cow to plough the fields to study!
Of course, the Liu family does not have the family background of the Xia family, and after tossing the second generation, there is a seven-grade county official, but this is already very remarkable in the local area!
The Liu family's Liu County Order, the actual ranking in the examination that year was not as good as Xia Qing's, and the crane was hung up with a second grade, so he finally did not fall into the same jinshi. However, people are standard "children of the poor family", and they don't dislike it at all, starting from the real Jiupin Sesame Official-County Cheng, honestly climbing up step by step, and even mixed with a serious official body, and also earned a life for the old lady and daughter-in-law in the family, and the real turned serf sang it!
…… It seems to be a bit far.
All in all, after all these years of pampering, Liu may be able to have a pair of well-maintained hands, or he may be able to read a few words in the account book, and he can read the scriptures and listen to the Buddha, but the words are crooked and unsightly.
But what did you see at the beginning of summer?
The standard sitting posture with a straight back is more upright than the female gentleman who enlightened her, and the posture of holding the pen is even more perfect, as if it has been practiced thousands of times, not to mention the smooth and smooth writing speed of the pen......
Said that the good Liu can't write?
What nonsense!
Liu seemed to notice something, and suddenly glanced back.
At the beginning of the summer, he turned over at some point, turned his back into a side bed, and slept soundly with his eyes closed.
The airflow in the room was too warm, and the cheeks of her small face were stained with two pink flushes, which was very cute.
Liu smiled, got up and pulled the quilt that was loose because of turning over for her, and gently pinched her little tender face.
"Queen Mother, since you have seen it, why can't you get up yet?"
Apricot eyes widened suddenly, and Xia Chu looked at the smiling old man in front of him in disbelief.
Not really.
The old lady is very well maintained, although she is over sixty, she should still know the destiny of heaven, but she is still slim, and the green silk is still the same, and she does not see the wanton growth of wealth and wealth of the female elders of ordinary rich and noble families.
Even though the wrinkles on her face couldn't be hidden, it made her look more than ten years younger.
…… From this face, Xia Chu couldn't tell if she didn't look like someone she knew.
She sat up with the quilt in her arms, and looked at the old lady in front of her vigilantly, originally out of her nature of respecting the old and loving the young, she always liked to be half-obedient in front of the old lady; But because it threatens itself, it is full of vigilance.
It's obviously the same person, but just because of the different positions, her attitude changed immediately.
It's also a matter of nature.
"You did it on purpose." Xia Chu said yes, but he was a little confused: "Who are you?" ”
"I remember you, but you forget me." Liu sighed and said with a sad face: "It's really sad! ”
At the beginning of the summer, I couldn't help but shake......
I really can't bear to see an old lady make such a resentful face in front of herself!
Wait a minute!
"Are you...... Kanami? ”
