Chapter 86

has a father, although Li Fang and Li Hua are concubines, that grade is not comparable to the daughter of an ordinary small family. In the past, my grandmother commanded me, and now my grandmother □□ it, but anyone who is not a stupid thing will learn to be obedient, not to mention that these two are really not stupid. Although they are extremely small and transparent compared to Li Shaoqing, it can't change the fact that they are the eldest and second ladies of this family.

The older they get, the more Li Fang and Li Hua deeply realize that their father has some skills, but not great skills. Although their elder brother did not follow the imperial examination and had no intention of going to court, he was Jane in the emperor's heart. They have also heard the rumors outside from the mouths of the personal maids, although the authenticity cannot be investigated, but they feel that the wind is not necessarily groundless. So they have more and more respect for their brother Li Shaoqing.

By the Zhao family's side, Li Fang and Li Hua understood more and more that their mothers would just compete for favor, and all they thought about was that side of the house, and their vision was really not high, maybe there was nothing wrong with being a concubine, but if they became the head of the house, it would be not enough. They understand that serious officials and nobles will not straighten out their concubines, so their mother's thoughts are all pipe dreams, but the most they can be daughters can be persuaded tactfully, but no matter how much, they can't say more. Their grandmother, Zhao, taught them to be attentive. Today, I'm afraid even their father doesn't know, and it's not only Li Shaoqing who is listening, but also his daughters.

Men's hearts, they have seen it since they were children, such as their second uncle's house, only that room of warblers and Yanyan, Li Fang and Li Hua sighed for their second aunt. But what's the use of sighing, this is a woman's life. Like the third uncle, there are a few. It's that the second housekeeper in this house has more money for a month, and he also remembers the wind and snow. Therefore, they don't dare to hope for their future, as long as they raise their eyebrows and respect each other. The mother's family is their backer, and even if they are unlucky, they can keep their status if they want to come. However, now that the two sisters saw their father like this, they had to worry that they were just two concubines.

Although I don't know which lady my father has fallen into, it sounds like it should be a noble family, and beauty is not mentioned, it can be seen that my grandmother said such a thing, even if I don't know the cause and effect, Li Fang and Li Hua also know that the woman will not be simple. Although they can trust the grandmother and the two aunts, they are afraid that they will slow down when they get married, and their father is a widower, so they will go out. After all, their father was not an infatuated person. No matter who their future mother-in-law is, their sisters will not be able to be close to them after all. If the grandmother takes a fancy to it, the eldest brother is satisfied, but if it is just the father who insists on taking it, I am afraid that even they will be bad. Li Fang and Li Hua don't think that there is anything wrong with what the grandmother and eldest brother said, after a hundred years, the matter of attacking the lord should have fallen on the head of the eldest brother, and no matter how bad it is, it will be on the head of the younger brother. Unexpectedly, my father said such things, so it seems that they don't have to work their father's body, they still have to hug their eldest brother's thighs. The grandmother asked them to sit in on the hearing, so that they could understand their own status, and they could see the facts more clearly, and they were convinced that their father would not win, and even if they did, it would be a miserable victory. Why didn't my father understand my brother's intentions and grandmother's deep meaning?

Zheng Lanling returned to the mansion and was about to change his clothes and go to the Xingguo Mansion to find Li Shaoqing for lunch, but he didn't expect Li Shaoqing to lie on his side on his bed and yawn.

"Senior brother, you came back so late, I almost fell asleep."

Zheng Lanling walked over and helped Li Shaoqing up, Li Shaoqing leaned on his senior brother with a lazy expression. Zheng Lanling touched his junior brother's face and asked softly, "What's the matter, I didn't sleep well last night?" ”

"Well, it's a dream."

"What dream?" Zheng Lanling is funny.

"I don't remember much."

"Then you have to eat lunch before going to bed, otherwise wouldn't it be more depressing to wake up hungry after half of your sleep reads;." Without waiting for Li Shaoqing to react, Zheng Lanling pulled Li Shaoqing up, and Li Shaoqing didn't really want to sleep, so he got up and tidied up his clothes.

Not long after returning to the Guogong Mansion, the Zhao family did not let a large family come to eat at a table every day, only came once on the fifteenth day of the new year, which also meant that it was lively and lively. However, it is also necessary for the daughter-in-law to be close to her every day. The old lady eats alone, and although she is accompanied by her grandmother, she inevitably feels lonely.

"Grandma, I'm coming!"

As soon as Zhao heard the voice, he looked in the direction of the door and hurriedly asked, "But Xiaoyi?!" ”

Gu's mother on the side couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly said to Zhao: "Listening to the voice, it must be the uncle." ”

The maid opened the curtain, and Li Shaoqing walked in with Zheng Lanling loudly, and explained to the Zhao family, so he bullied the Zhao family like a monkey and asked, "Grandma, have you eaten, my senior brother and I haven't eaten yet!" ”

"That's right, I didn't eat either, everyone ate together."

"That's a good feeling."

Zheng Lanling regarded the Zhao family as his grandmother, and after a long time, he was not restrained, and sat down next to Li Shaoqing.

That's all the rich and noble families do, and they always have more dishes to prepare. It didn't take long for the place to be full, and all kinds of small plates and small plates were placed on the table, not to mention the dishes, which looked dazzling and attractive.

The grandparents and grandchildren are sandwiching each other's dishes, Li Shaoqing is especially busy, and he has to take care of his senior brother. Zheng Lanling smiled and slowly ate up the dishes that his junior brother had brought over, occasionally putting one or two dishes in his junior brother's bowl. After dinner, Zhao left the two of them to talk, funny, Li Shaoqing pinched the time to get up and say goodbye, after all, Zhao was old and a little tired, so he didn't stay. The most important thing is that her good grandson promised to come over in the evening to accompany her for dinner.

Li Shaoqing and Zheng Lanling walked side by side, did not say anything, walked through the corridor, let the breeze blow, the birds sang and the flowers were fragrant, like the years were quiet.

Back in the yard, to sit down, Chunlan touched the object and came up.

"Uncle, this is sent by the eldest lady and the second lady this morning."

Li Shaoqing let people unfold and see, they are two coats, with elegant colors and patterns, the stitches are very fine, obviously the technology is very good.

Seeing this, Chunlan hurriedly said: "These two clothes are sewn by the eldest lady and the second lady themselves. In the past, although the two young ladies also made fan sachets for the uncle, but that one was a small thing. Such as clothes, but also for the national prince to do it once. Because I am not familiar with it, if there is something wrong, please forgive me. ”

Li Shaoqing felt very good, put down his shirt and said, "They have a heart." ”

Chunlan felt that this was the right thing to do. The girl is older, she didn't understand before, but if she doesn't understand now, then the old lady really taught in vain. In this mansion, as long as there is an eyebrow, who doesn't know that although the uncle is gentle, he is not completely incapable. I didn't see the old lady listening to the uncle.

"Later, you let Xia Zhu pick two pairs of heads and give them to the two sisters. When they get married, I'll add makeup to them. ”

Chunlan responded sweetly. She felt that it was already very good for her to treat her sister like his uncle. Of course, this also has to be fulfilled by oneself. If they serve faithfully, their master will value them. For example, young ladies, if you treat the uncle sincerely, the uncle can become their dependence.

In the dead of night, Li Fang and Li Hua each held the head sent by Xia Zhu, looking at the huge pearls on it shining in the candlelight, thinking about what Xia Zhu said to them, suddenly, I couldn't help but be happy, and tears flowed down like that. With the words of the eldest brother, they have the bottom in their hearts. All they want is a safe and smooth life, simple and small.

Because the dinner was used in the Xingguo Mansion, Zheng Lanling was lazy and would have his own nest, anyway, it was cold and boring, it was better to nest in his junior brother's place, and the two of them slept together, and it was good to talk.

"You're really nice to your sisters."

Li Shaoqing sighed: "In this world, women are more difficult than men. Women are taught three obedience and four virtues, although the words and deeds of this dynasty are much broader than those of the previous dynasty. But the same culpability for men and women has different consequences. For example, the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Chengenhou Mansion, when she encountered such a thing back then, with her background, it was just two choices, either marry or die. If a good woman marries someone like Yang Chengen, this life will be ruined. “

"You sympathize with her."

"Hmm. There are so many of hers, I sympathize with her, but I can't save her. I'm not a good person, and I can't do good deeds. In this family, if there is one person I care about the most, it is my grandmother. You can't get past grandma. ”

"Hmm. I know. Zheng Lanling touched his junior brother's hair and curled it with his fingers, but the hair slipped smoothly from between his fingers, Zheng Lanling didn't get tired of it, continued to touch and continue to curle, and then the hair continued to slip away.

"Although they have a shallow relationship with me, they are my sisters after all. They know the truth, and it is good for them. Even if they go out in the future, it doesn't hurt for me to take care of them. When they have something to rely on, their lives will be better. Whether it is a common man or an official eunuch, men still have to have scruples to be better to women. Of course, it would be best if the couple really had a deep relationship. But I'm used to seeing the three elders in this mansion, I'm afraid that their extravagant hopes will be smaller. In this way, the less you want, the less you want. ”

"Don't talk about how miserable a woman is. Men are no less stressed than women. For example, your Senior Brother Lin, I don't know where I am at the moment! ”

Li Shaoqing raised his eyebrows with a sneer: "He was forced to marry again?" ”

"This time he can see the stubble. It is said that the other party made it clear that he would not marry. ”

"Actually, I have a way to solve his problem."

"Oh?! Let's hear it. ”

"As long as Senior Brother Lin and Second Senior Brother go to fight for the position of the future viewer."

"That's just as well. It's just that in this way, it seems that there is no difference between it and forced marriage. ”

The two smiled and fell silent again.

Li Shaoqing turned sideways and faced his senior brother, Zheng Lanling felt that his junior brother was good-looking everywhere, and the best thing was these eyes.

"Grandma was a little worried about me."

"What do you have to worry about?"

"I'm worried that her good grandson is too good, and there is no suitable woman to match!"

Zheng Lanling couldn't help pinching Li Shaoqing's cheek and said with a smile: "This cheek is not very thick!" ”

The two laughed, and suddenly, Zheng Lanling held Li Shaoqing's hand, looked straight at Li Shaoqing, and said, "Promise me to find someone you like." ”

Li Shaoqing was stunned at first, and then the corners of his eyebrows flew and said, "Naturally." ”

Who do you think I am! Hmph~~~ Li Shaoqing
