Chapter 192
At night, Lu Xiaoyi refused to leave her father's bedroom under the pretext of teasing Xiaorui, Yulan laughed at her: "Don't pretend, you won't leave if you don't listen to your father's words!" ”
Lu Xiaoyi smiled and coquettishly next to Yulan, "Mother, you really deserve to be my mother, you really understand me!" ”
Magnolia poked her forehead.
It's been a long time since I've been poked in the forehead, Lu Xiaoyi still misses this feeling, and took the initiative to come over and ask for another time.
Yulan didn't do what she wanted, but asked Lu Zhong: "What is the half sentence you left today?" Hurry up, Xiao Yi and I are waiting! ”
Lu Zhong smiled helplessly: "I can't hide it from you two." ”
Xiao Yi urged: "Dad, say it quickly, I'm thinking about it, I didn't eat dinner well, and I can't sleep anymore!" ”
Magnolia glanced at her, "You deserve it." ”
Lu Xiaoyi pouted and pretended to be negative.
Lu Zhong coughed, focused the attention of his wife and daughter on himself, and then whispered: "I stuffed a few money into the steward in the General's Mansion who was responsible for placing us, and the steward inquired about him and told us, it turned out that the den that Liu An chased was hiding a felony wanted by the imperial court, and I heard that the Lantern Festival incident was planned by them, and not only our Yifu City, but also several other trade customs cities, they have committed major crimes." ”
Yulan exclaimed: "It's been more than half a year, and these wicked people have been arrested? ”
Lu Xiaoyi said: "Mother, cunning rabbits have several hiding nests, let alone cunning people!" ”
Lu Zhong nodded: "I heard that they were arrested several times and let them slip away, and this time they want to sneak out of the customs and escape to Mongolia." They were bumped into by Liu An. ”
Yulan said happily: "Anzi is also considered meritorious this time, and maybe he can go up one liter." ”
"That's for sure! As for what position to be promoted, it is the meaning of the above, anyway, Anzi is mixed up, we have not produced a civil official in Xiaxi Village, but the military attache has a Liu An, this is the pride of our Xiaxi Village! Lu Zhong was honored, with a pride on his face.
Yulan was also happy, "Sister-in-law Liu is here!" ”
Lu Xiaoyi asked: "Dad, you said that Brother Liu An was recuperating from his injuries in the General's Mansion?" ”
"yes. The situation was critical. It was the general who ordered him to be moved to the house for the old doctor to treat. ”
Lu Xiaoyi thought of the daughter of the general that Aunt Liu had mentioned, if she was really interesting to Liu An, according to her temperament, she would definitely fight for it and even make noise in front of the general. Lu Xiaoyi didn't know what the general thought, she only knew that it was difficult for a girl who liked men's clothes and was good at marksmanship to marry into a noble family. After all, the girls of the military general's family often marry into the military general's family or choose a new young general.
A battalion staff general. There is still some face in the military camp of Yifu City. Personally inquiring about the injuries of a soldier under his command is undoubtedly a signal, Lu Xiaoyi's bold guess. The general will definitely take advantage of Liu An's meritorious service this time, brush his face on it, promote Liu An, support a few more in the later stage, get a thousand or something for Liu An, and finally marry his daughter to him, so that it is right!
The more Lu Xiaoyi thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible, Yulan didn't think as much as she thought, when Liu's sister-in-law said that her daughter would be beaten by Liu An, Yulan and the others only felt that the gap between the portals was too big, and they didn't take it seriously, and then they forgot about it.
At this time, no one reminded her, so Yulan would not connect the two, but told Lu Zhong and Xiao Yi, "No one can say for sure about these things in the officialdom, as for whether Liu An will be promoted or not, we can't say for sure, let's just wait and see, don't say these words everywhere, the people in the village of the province are boiling, and the Liu family is uneasy." ”
Lu Zhong nodded, "I know, I haven't said anything since I was in the afternoon." ”
Lu Xiaoyi closed her mouth tightly and shook her head in front of Yulan's eyes, and Yulan scolded with a smile: "What are you doing naughty?" Hurry up and go to sleep! ”
After breakfast the next day, Liu's sister-in-law came over with swollen eyes and apologized to Yulan that she couldn't come to help make scones, and she was going to the city to take care of her son.
Yulan took this month's salary and gave an extra five taels of silver, "Sister-in-law Liu, you also helped me a lot, I am grateful to you in my heart, you take this money." ”
Sister-in-law Liu waved her hand again and again, "I haven't finished this month, I'm embarrassed to accept the monthly salary you give me, what are you doing with five taels of silver?" You can't do it! ”
Yulan grabbed her hand and stuffed the silver money into her hand, "Although silver is not omnipotent, when there is no it, it is absolutely impossible, don't be polite to me, there is no harm in bringing more silver money to the General's Mansion, you usually have to bother others to boil a potion and eat a meal, don't be stingy when you should make money, sister-in-law is a living person, you can think of what I can think of, and I won't say much else." ”
Sister-in-law Liu said with red eyes: "I borrowed this silver from you, and when my family Anzi survives this, I will make up the money to pay you back!" ”
Yulan knew that Sister-in-law Liu was strong, so she nodded and said, "Okay, but my family is not in a hurry to use it, you can do it whenever you want." ”
Sister-in-law Liu said a few more words of thanks and left.
After Yulan sent Liu's sister-in-law back, she frowned, there was a shortage of people for the scones, and she had to invite someone again.
Lu Xiaoyi also felt that the stability of her family's scone team was too poor, but this was also a helpless thing, they were all housewives with families, they had to go home to give birth to babies when they had a baby, and they had to focus on family affairs if they had an emergency, and they were not full-time workers, just part-time.
Yulan thought of Lu Lian, and rushed to Qiu's house in the east of the village, after explaining her intentions, Lu Lian's eyes suddenly lit up, and Mrs. Qiu hugged the little fat grandson and refused with a smile: "Our little Qiu Xia is just half a year old, I still want to let Lian'er feed him a few more mouthfuls of milk, you also know, it is most normal for male dolls to be fed to two or three years old, not only is he strong and less sick, but also that little girl in your family should be fed for a few more years." ”
How Yulan didn't understand what Mrs. Qiu meant, since she didn't want to, Yulan was not reluctant, and replied with a smile: "What Aunt Qiu said is that I have this intention, as long as the milk doesn't go back, I plan to feed it all the time!" ”
Mrs. Qiu likes smart people like Yulan, glanced at Lu Lian, and said with a smile: "The daughter-in-law of the Liu family suddenly has something, and your sister-in-law can't invite the right person for a while, so you will go to help for a few days." ”
It's good that Mrs. Qiu can do this. Lu Lian said excitedly: "Sister-in-law, I'll come in the afternoon." ”
Yulan nodded, said some words of thanks to Mrs. Qiu, and gave Lu Lian a few words before leaving, along the way Yulan was thinking about who to ask for help, and as soon as possible, she was worried that there were more people who knew, and Mrs. Lu sent Lu Si's daughter-in-law over again, whether there was such a possibility or not, she had to guard against it.
The more anxious I become, the more I feel that there is no suitable candidate. Magnolia frowned and told her two daughters about her anxiety. Lu Xiaoyi said: "Mother, have you forgotten the hard-working person in your aunt's mother's family, do you ask her if she comes?" ”
Yulan said sadly: "Where do you live?" It's such a little bed in our house! ”
Lu Xiaoyi proposed: "Mother, haven't you eased your relationship with your grandmother now?" Tell her about it. Let her vacate the east room next to the main house. For the time being, I will live with that miserable aunt. Wait until our family builds a new yard and move back! ”
Xiao Ding also agreed with her sister's statement and begged: "Mother, you can agree." That aunt's life is so hard, if we don't help her, she will go to the nunnery to be a sister-in-law. ”
Magnolia sighed, "I'll try, if your grandmother agrees, I'll bring a letter to your aunt." ”
really said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, Mrs. Lu took Xiaofeng into the east house, walked straight to the side of the kang, put Xiaofeng on the kang to climb and play, and told Xiaoyi Xiaoding to look at the point and not let her roll off the kang, and he freed his hands and feet to hold Xiaorui in his arms and tease.
Lu Xiaoyi agreed happily, and smiled and praised Mrs. Lu, "Grandmother, you are really good at raising children, you see how painful Xiaofeng is raised by you!" ”
Mrs. Lu smiled proudly, and a smile bloomed on her face, "You kid is getting more and more fond of telling the truth, ouch, it's best to tell the truth!" ”
Lu Xiaoyi continued to pat the horse: "Grandmother, I have always told the truth in front of you. ”
Who would have thought that Mrs. Lu's focus had shifted to Xiao Rui, and she was happily stretching her fingers to Xiao Rui's hand to touch it, once Xiao Rui grabbed her fingers and didn't let go, she smiled very happily, and didn't listen to Lu Xiaoyi's words at all.
Lu Xiaoyi looked at her resentfully.
Mrs. Lu teased her little grandchild for a while, and finally felt her granddaughter's strong resentment, and looked up and asked her, "What did you just say?" ”
Lu Xiaoyi shrugged, "I didn't say anything." ”
Yulan motioned to Lu Xiaoyi to tell her about the ear room, Lu Xiaoyi pouted and was unhappy, at this time, even her favorite flattery could not divert her attention to her little grandson, and Lu Xiaoyi had no confidence to continue with her.
Yulan smiled and whispered, "You try it first, if it doesn't work, I'll talk about it later." ”
Lu Xiaoyi had no choice but to nod, and then curled the corners of her mouth and said to Mrs. Lu: "Grandmother, discuss something with you!" It's important, and you have to nod your head in agreement. ”
Mrs. Lu said lazily: "What's the matter?" I'm all focused on Xiao Rui now, don't talk to me about those troublesome things. ”
"Grandmother, this is about Xiao Rui."
Mrs. Lu immediately came to her senses, "What's the matter?" Hurry up! ”
Lu Xiaoyi said while thinking: "Grandmother, our family used to have only one male grandson Xiao Geng, and my father and mother wanted to leave Xiao Geng alone to make money, but now the family is blessed and has added a new ding, and my father and mother are planning to make the business bigger, save more family business for Xiao Rui and prepare for it, recently I am thinking about asking for more helpers, who would have thought that the Liu family had an accident again, it was really a new helper who didn't invite the old helper but left." ”
Mrs. Lu raised her eyebrows, "What do you mean, do you want me to bake cakes instead of the daughter-in-law of the Liu family?" No, no, no, I still have to take care of Xiao Rui, I don't bake that Rausch cake. ”
Lu Xiaoyi patiently explained: "Grandmother, I just said that I won't bother you. ”
Mrs. Lu's raised eyebrows finally smoothed out, and she squinted at Lu Xiaoyi, "Didn't you ask me to help find a helper?" Then he said with a smug expression: "This matter is simple, whose mother-in-law in our village is capable, whose daughter-in-law is Lisuo, I know very well in my heart, those who have quarreled with our family and fought are all out of the way, don't want to enter our house half a step!" ”
Lu Xiaoyi persuaded her with a bitter face: "Grandmother, they are all from the same village, why should they hold grudges so much!" On weekdays, if you look up and don't look down, don't make the relationship too stiff! He added: "About the last Lantern Festival, didn't those daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law who quarreled with our family also go to the village entrance to wait?" When we returned, they also came up to show their concern. ”
Mrs. Lu sneered, "You are still too young, easy to be confused by those face-saving goods, where are they here to show concern, they are here to see the excitement, they say words of concern, I don't know what to think in my heart!" ”
Lu Xiaoyi felt that she couldn't talk to Mrs. Lu anymore, so she asked Yulan for help with a bitter face. (To be continued.) )
