Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Sixth Sister
There was a knock on the door, "Young master, girl, Madame asked the slaves and maids to come and have a look." Bi Tao saw through the window lattice that the young master ran to the next door, so she went straight to Du Xiaoxi's door.
Xiao Rou opened the door to let a few people in, Bi Tao stepped forward and saluted the two of them with a respectful face: "The slave is Bi Tao, Madame saw that the young master and the girl used less at the banquet, so she specially asked the kitchen to make a few small dishes, and the young master and the girl can directly say to the girl who is waiting if they need anything." ”
The girl behind Bi Tao put the food boxes on the table one by one, and a smell of meat came to her nose, and Du Xiaoxi and Liu Yao's eyes were decisively attracted by the plates of meat taken out.
Bi Tao saw that the two of them looked at the dinner table intentionally or unintentionally, but they were funny in their hearts, they were still children who liked to eat meat, so they used the excuse of discussing things and retreated with Xiaorou.
Seeing that Bi Tao was leaving, Du Xiaoxi hurriedly asked, "Where are my sixth brother and senior brother?" ”
Bi Tao saw that the little girl was still thinking about her brother before eating, and replied with a smile: "Yes, they were all sent over." ”
Du Xiaoxi nodded with satisfaction when she heard this, and grinned at Bi Tao: "Thank you, Aunt Bi Tao." Liu Yao also stood beside Du Xiaoxi and thanked him with a smile.
Mrs. Liu knew that a few children wanted to eat meat, but she was afraid of eating too much food, so the dishes served to her were mainly light, radish and meat ball soup, stewed short ribs, and steamed fish.
The feeling of being down-to-earth makes people feel steady, and the few people who are down-to-earth except for the quiet senior brother who has always been strict with himself, Du Xiaoxi and Liu Yao and Du Zhiqian all slept in the sun the next day.
After enjoying the breakfast carefully prepared by the eldest uncle, before the three of them could discuss whether to ask Mrs. Liu to say goodbye or to play with Master Xile or Senior Brother Tranquility, a girl came over and called the three of them to go to the front hall, saying that the sixth lady who was married heard that the second uncle and his younger brother were passing by and came back with their husbands.
Liu Feiyun, the sixth lady, is the second daughter of the Liu family, the second daughter of Mrs. Liu, and married the youngest son of the Hao family, the commander of Qingzhou, Liu Ziping's colleague at the beginning of the year. At that time, Liu Zi'an, the second uncle, also specially brought Liu Yao over to send Liu Feiyun and another cousin to marry. Because this Liu Yao still remembered this sister, he rushed to Mrs. Liu's yard with Du Xiaoxi's brothers and sisters.
Liu Ziping is absolutely patriarchal psychologically because of his father's relationship, and without his son Liu Ziping's fatherly love, he transferred to his nephew Liu Yao, and did not have more love for the daughter in the family.
In terms of treating daughters. The Liu family, like most people's families, the little ladies are pampered at home, and they will be taught carefully regardless of what they should learn, and the age is up. Find a good family, and give a dowry. Because the Liu family has always had many boys and girls among their children, in order to let the little ladies still remember the kindness of their mothers after they get married, they have done more in this regard.
The Liu family's approach has been very successful, and both the sisters of Old Lady Liu who are still alive for so many years. is still the sisters of Liu Ziping's brothers, or the sisters of Liu Yao's peers, most of them often think about their parents' family, and the Liu family will help more or less if there is something.
When the three of them entered the Shi'an Residence, they heard the woman's burst of laughter coming from a distance, and the little girl guarding the door saw the three of them coming, and happily reported to the people in the house: "Little Master, Ten Niangzi, Young Master Du has arrived!" ”
When the three of them entered the house, Du Xiaoxi and Liu Yao were pulled by Mrs. Liu and sat beside them affectionately. Du Zhiqian swept a room of little ladies, thinking of the pain in his head from yesterday's twittering, so he confessed his guilt and went to the front yard to find Master Xile and a few people.
A silver and red pomegranate dress. The smile on the goose egg's face continued, and seeing the two of them sitting down, Liu Feiyun directly slapped Liu Yao on the shoulder and asked happily: "Xiao Tuke still remembers the sixth sister?" I haven't seen you for two months, why do you feel so much darker? ”
Liu Feiyun and Mrs. Liu have eight points of resemblance, only the eyes inherit the big apricot eyes of the Liu family, and the dark eyes add a bit of color to the delicate appearance. Because she was born by herself, Mrs. Liu is very attentive to this daughter even if it is a pity that she is not a son, and she has also developed Liu Feiyun's innocent character.
When Liu Yao lived in the Du family, he was disgusted by the second brother Du every day, with a small body and a white face, and most of the men in Dujia Village were strong men. Without the enlightenment of his own father, the distorted aesthetics under the influence of the Du family's brothers have begun to take shape. Every day, I was disgusted by a few brothers-in-law with a little white face, and at this moment, I heard the sixth cousin say that she had turned white again, and she responded sullenly. "Xiaotu remembers the sixth sister." Remembering his father's instructions to care more about his sisters, he then asked, "Sixth sister, how are you doing lately?" ”
Liu Feiyun watched her mother secretly sad and failed to give birth to a son, and was worried that her daughters would not have the support of their mother's brothers in the future. waited for his mother and father to be old, and the aunts gave birth to daughters, so he put his hope on the cousin of the second uncle's family.
Mother often talked about making them closer to their cousins. I can also have a support in the future. My father's career has been smooth sailing in the past few years, and he also entrusted his cousin's fiancée to be the apprentice of Master Xile, and his father is now in the fourth official residence, and he already has a quota of grace, and this quota will definitely fall on his cousin in the end. In the future, they can only rely on their sons and cousins. Although Liu Feiyun is naïve, he is not stupid, and naturally knows how to have a good relationship with his cousin.
Listening to Liu Yao ask how he was doing, Liu Feiyun's face turned crimson, and he slapped Liu Yao's shoulder in shame, "Okay, very!" Yikes! What are you talking about? This is your little daughter-in-law? As he spoke, he took Du Xiaoxi's hand.
Du Xiaoxi was popularized by Daddy Du about the domineering genes of the Liu family, and he was simply cursed by being drawn countless circles, which is really yin and yang. Although I have seen the future father-in-law's daughter country when I was in the Liu family, the situation is even worse in Uncle Liu's family, which is obviously crazy about children, except for a few girls, more than a dozen people in this room are all sisters-in-law, and this is only the right age to come out to meet people.
Liu Feiyun pinched Du Xiaoxi's baby fat, and said with a smile: "This girl looks like a member of our Liu family, how similar are these eyes to our family?" ”
Du Xiaoxi has always regretted that he failed to inherit Du Niang's slightly charming and amorous phoenix eyes, but he has big apricot eyes like Daddy Du. The small nose and small mouth are also lined with huge eyes, and the cute appearance makes Liu Feiyun love it.
Growing up so big and enjoying the most is that Daddy Du, Master and his brothers love to touch their heads, when has they ever been pinched like this as buns, Du Xiaoxi's face suddenly wrinkled. Seeing this, Liu Feiyun was even more happy, almost covering his face and screaming.
Seeing that Du Xiaoxi was pitiful, Liu Yao hurriedly stopped Liu Feiyun's hand that still wanted to make a mistake, "Sixth sister, don't bully Sister Xi." "If you let the brothers-in-law know that Sister Xi was bullied in front of you, you will definitely not have a good life when you look back.
Seeing this, Mrs. Liu shook her head amusedly, pointed at Liu Feiyun and scolded with a smile: "They are all married people, and they are still bullying their younger brothers and sisters, are they ashamed?" ”
Liu Feiyun was not afraid of being preached by her mother, but deliberately pinched Du Xiaoxi with a smile, and Mrs. Liu helplessly pulled her daughter and said to Liu Yao and Du Xiaoxi: "The husband of the sixth girl, Xiao Xi'er, has not seen it yet, it just so happens that they are all in the front yard today, and Xiao Xi'er also went to meet them, so that when they meet outside, they will know that it is their own family." ”
Hearing this, Liu Yao pulled Du Xiaoxi to stand up, and after the two saluted, they walked towards the front yard with Liu Feiyun, who was slightly red.
Liu Feiyun's husband Hao Jianying is the youngest son of Hao Fengyan, the assassin of Qingzhou, the Hao family is a military general who followed Taizu when the founding of the Great Shang Dynasty, although the ancestors of the Hao family do not know a word and have no talent, but because he is a fellow countryman with Taizu, he is the first group of people to follow Taizu and is loyal to Taizu. After several generations of the descendants of the Hao family were indignant and hardworking, while carefully managing the connections left by their ancestors, compared with other founding families who were slowly liquidated by the emperor, although their Hao family did not have a prominent title, but they also slowly earned a place in the army.
The Hao family was able to take a fancy to Liu Ziping, the daughter of the newly appointed Fu Yin, and also saw that because of the relationship between Master Xile, in the years when there was no one to promote in the Du family, it was inevitable for the emperor to promote Liu Ziping in order to show his fancy to Master Xile, as long as Liu Ziping was not a brainless person, it was absolutely indispensable to be raised in a good position when he was old.
Dashang believes in having many sons and many blessings, and the sons of the emperors of the past dynasties are also calculating, and the battle for the throne is naturally bloody. The Hao family was a person who was only loyal to the throne in the past dynasties, and rarely involved in the struggle for the throne. This marriage with the Liu family is also a fancy to Master Xile's uncomplicated background, he has real skills and is deeply favored by the emperor, Liu Ziping is a childless person, even if he gets a high position, he will not become a traitorous minister.
Of course, if the Hao family knew that the Nine Emperor Princes, who were still pitiful and were locked up in the cold palace to fend for themselves, had turned into the beloved disciples of the Joy Master, this marriage should be another matter.
Hao Jianying, as the youngest son of the Hao family, has been favored since he was a child because his father is the youngest son of the old lady and he is the youngest grandson. Although Hao Jianying has not developed the temperament of bullying men and women to go to the Qinglou, he is also a master who is invincible.
Hao Jianying, who is smooth sailing, has rarely been wronged, but she has suffered a big loss in a lifetime of marriage.
His father, who had always favored him, actually asked his son to marry a countryman, although the Liu family was also a magistrate, but in the eyes of the natives of Kyoto, these people who had never been in Beijing all year round, and the emperor had not been able to see them once were all local officials with little knowledge.
Hao Jianying's other skills are not as good as spoofing, since his father is interested in the girl of the Liu family, and his grandfather in Jingzhong also nodded and has no opinion, Hao Jianying is simply like a mourner. How can he marry a woman from the countryside who has such status, it's just too cheap, and people who don't know can't think that he is a child picked up by the Hao family!
Hao Jianying hugged her mother's leg and cried to beg for marriage, Hao's mother couldn't twist her husband, so she could only persuade her son with tears. Hao Jianying saw that his mother, who loved him, did not care about his lifelong happiness, and immediately wrote back to Beijing to find his grandmother for help. The grandmother of the Hao family was also moved to tears by her good grandson, and only sighed that she did not hurt her little grandson in vain. But the old lady sighed again, and the old lady of the Hao family also thought that this family business was good. Hao Jianying, who was hopeless for help, cried, made trouble, hanged himself, and went on a hunger strike four or five times, six or seven or eight times, but he failed to push off this family business.
Hao Jianying, who resisted ineffectively, could only be ridiculed countless times by his brothers, and hoped that his future daughter-in-law would not be so dirty.
