Chapter 85: The Old Affair of the Liu Family
Tomorrow, she will formally worship Liu Taifu as her father-in-law in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, she was a small businesswoman in Yizhou, and she had a slight birth, but she never thought that one day she would be involved in the whirlpool of the capital, Liu Xuan thought that there was a little itchy teeth here, all thanks to the culprit.
She grinded her teeth and secretly thought in her heart, when she saw Li Che, she must let him know how much she hated him!
Today is the day of rest, and it is also the day of Liu Xuan's official worship, just after lunch, someone from Liufu came to inform that the ceremony was set at the unitary time for Liu Xuan to make some preparations early, and then rushed to Liufu.
Liu Xuan deliberately bathed and changed clothes, she picked a more dignified and atmospheric set from the four sets of skirts from the Hazel embroidery workshop, and then combed the hair bun by Qiu Ju, selected the hairpin belt from the jewelry given to her by Liu's mother, and wore the jade bracelet given by Mrs. Qian on her wrist, and Dongmei said an elegant light makeup, and then got into the carriage and went to Liufu.
As soon as Liu Xuan's carriage arrived, Liu Zhiqing greeted her, and when he saw Liu Xuan, he was slightly stunned, and then smiled faintly, and when he welcomed her out of the carriage, he leaned into her ear and quipped: "In the past, I saw you without makeup, but today you are dressed up like this because Your Highness is coming?" ”
Liu Xuan smiled generously and decently, glanced at Liu Zhiqing lightly and did not answer, but stepped on his upper impartially with the foot that walked forward, Liu Zhiqing's face suddenly twitched slightly, and Liu Xuan leaned into his ear and smiled: "Didn't you forget the taste of croton in those two days when you were in Yizhou?" ”
The corners of Liu Zhiqing's mouth twitched and glanced at Liu Xuan: "How dare you forget for my brother, but Sister Xuan should be careful, from today onwards, you will be my righteous sister." The so-called eldest brother is like a father, and a righteous brother is also like a father. ”
Liu Xuan raised her eyebrows and didn't speak. Liu Zhiqing saw that she didn't refute, and there was a slight color on her face, and she took a quick step past Liu Xuan to lead the way. Liu Xuan lowered her head and chuckled lightly, but saw that Liu Zhiqing's black upper had left a gray mark, and the smile on her face was even worse, she didn't make a sound to remind her, and only followed Liu Zhiqing into Liu's mansion.
Liu Zhiqing took Liu Xuan to the backyard, and found that the maid in the house always stared at his feet with a strange face, he looked down and saw that the gray mark on his black upper was very eye-catching, he immediately turned around to look at Liu Xuan, but saw that although Liu Xuan's face was as usual, there was a clear smile in his eyes.
Liu Zhiqing helplessly bent down to brush away the gray marks on the upper, and muttered in a low voice: "Only women and villains are difficult to raise." The ancients did not deceive me. ”
Liu Zhiqing, who entered Liu's mother's yard, left, and the maids and servants in Liu's mansion seemed to have been ordered, and when they saw Liu Xuan, they called Miss.
Liu Xuan was led into Liu's mother's house by a maid, Liu's mother was drinking tea, and when she saw Liu Xuan, she immediately put down the teacup, and hurriedly got up to greet her, Liu Xuan saluted her and called softly: "Stepmother." ”
Mother Liu had a smile on her face, and even her eyes were full of smiles, she took Liu Xuan's hand and said: "The front yard is busy, you and your mother are talking here, and when the auspicious time comes, we will go to the front yard." ”
Liu Xuan answered in a low voice. Led by Mother Liu, she sat down, and Mother Liu looked at her carefully and praised: "Our family Xuan'er is more beautiful every day, and today we are going to compare all the women in the capital." ”
Mother Liu praised it like this, Liu Xuan didn't dare to accept it, and immediately said a few words of modesty. Liu Mu smiled slightly and did not refute, but said: "You don't know that today, almost all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have arrived, and even the prince has to come in person." ”
Speaking of this, she looked at Liu Xuan and smiled faintly: "This matter must be compared to your mother's prophet." ”
Liu Xuan was slightly stunned and immediately looked at the maids in the room, except for the autumn chrysanthemum and winter plum she brought. There were also two maids in the room.
Mother Liu looked at her expression and said with relief: "My two maids know the roots, Xuan'er can rest assured." ”
Liu Xuan nodded and said, "Don't hide it from your mother." After returning from Tianxiang Temple that day, Xuan'er knew. ”
Mother Liu was overjoyed when she heard this: "Then you must know that the prince is furious because of the matter in Tianxiang Temple." angrily scolded the concubine Cao for not being worthy of accompanying him according to her power, and had driven her from the position of the concubine to the concubine's room, if it weren't for the Cao family's strength, I was afraid that the Cao family would have been driven out of the prince's mansion long ago. ”
Liu Xuan didn't know about this, and was immediately stunned when she heard the words: "What the stepmother said is true?" ”
Seeing that she really didn't know, Liu Mu immediately nodded, and then asked with some doubts: "Xuan'er doesn't know about this?" When Lord Sun was leaving, he said that he wanted to give an explanation, but Xuan'er didn't know what the prince's explanation was? ”
Liu Xuan shook her head, she and the Liu family have been both prosperous and lossy from now on, and she didn't hide it from Liu's mother at the moment, but said: "The prince just let people pass the word, saying that the Cao family will never appear in front of me again in the future." ”
"The prince actually said this." Liu's mother sighed, and then looked at Liu Xuan and said with a smile: "Although the Cao family is big, you will become the daughter of Taifu, this name will also be recorded in the Liu family tree, from now on you will be the daughter of the dynasty Yipin, now the Cao family is just a concubine, and the identity is different, so it will naturally not be visible in the future, not to mention that the prince has grounded it, and she can't even go to the front yard of the prince's mansion without the prince's order." ”
Liu Xuan nodded slightly when she heard this: "It's best not to see yourself." ”
Mother Liu and Liu Xuan were chattering in the house, and a maid outside the door came to say that Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Feng had come to ask to see, and Mother Liu's face was a little bad after hearing this, and she explained to her with doubts on her face: "Now that we have become mother and daughter, although we are righteous mothers and daughters, I treat you as my own daughter, and I will not hide the affairs of the house from you." Mrs. Qian, you have seen it, she is a smart person, but that Feng is a disgusting character. ”
Liu Xuan frowned slightly when she heard this: "A few days ago, Xuan'er was eating in the mansion, and when she saw her father-in-law's attitude towards the Feng family, she knew a thing or two, but since the Feng family was a person who annoyed the father-in-law, why didn't her mother just send her out of the mansion?" ”
Mother Liu sighed: "Xuan'er doesn't know, your father-in-law was married to someone before marrying me, at that time your father-in-law was still a broken scholar, until he took refuge in today's saint, and he was reused by the saint to have today, my relationship with your father-in-law is the master of today's saint, and the person who married your father-in-law back then was this Feng's family, so although I and your father-in-law didn't like her, I could only keep her in the house to treat each other well." ”
Liu Xuan nodded and understood, this Feng family was engaged to Mrs. Liu first, if it weren't for Mother Liu, the Feng family would be the head of the Liu family, what was not good to say, it was Mother Liu who robbed the marriage of the Feng family, so no matter how much Mrs. Liu and Mother Liu didn't like this Feng family, they could only let her, and they had to stay alive, so as not to fall into the truth, this matter can be big or small, if it is not handled well, it can become a weapon for everyone to attack Mrs. Liu.
Seeing that Liu Xuan understood, Mother Liu immediately said to her maid, "Call Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Feng in." ”
Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Feng entered the house, although Liu Xuan is now the young lady of Liufu, but as a junior, she still got up, she got up and talked in detail about the Feng family, she looked at it all over the place, her figure was good, her appearance was medium, and there was a small family spirit between her eyebrows and eyes, but she raised her head quite high, looking at people with her nostrils.
Liu Xuan secretly paid in her heart, this kind of appearance is really annoying.
Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Feng met with Liu's mother, and when Mrs. Qian saw Liu Xuan with the jade bracelet she gave her, she immediately smiled on her face: "This bracelet complements each other when it is brought to the girl." ”
Liu Xuan smiled and said with a smile: "Xuan'er, thank you for your praise." ”
As soon as Liu Xuan's voice fell, he heard Feng snort coldly: "I don't know where the wild girl came from, she also flew up the branch and became a phoenix." ”
One sentence made the whole room fall silent, and Liu Mu immediately shouted: "Feng, my righteous daughter is also something you can slander casually?!" ”
Feng snorted, obviously not taking Liu's mother's scolding in her eyes, Mrs. Qian smiled at Liu Xuan a little embarrassed, but Liu Xuan didn't care, she looked at Feng Shi who was looking at people with her nostrils and said with a low smile: "Mrs. Feng's words are really inappropriate, since ancient times, only the daughter of the royal family can be called the word phoenix, fortunately, this house is full of their own people, if this is heard by outsiders, it will be passed into the palace......"
Her leisurely voice was meaningful, and Feng's face suddenly changed, it was indeed inappropriate to say this, if it was introduced into the palace, wouldn't it mean that Mrs. Liu had the intention of rebelling?
Mother Liu naturally understood the meaning of Liu Xuan's words, and said to Feng: "Feng! Today is a good day, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all in Liufu, you better take care of your mouth, don't cause disaster to Liufu, if you can't manage your mouth, I don't mind if you keep recuperating in the small courtyard! ”
Mother Liu's words actually meant to imprison Feng's in the courtyard, Feng was slightly frightened, and finally lowered his head that had been held high and whispered: "My sister's words are inappropriate, and I hope my sister will not blame." ”
Liu Mu snorted: "Feng's family, you are not obsessed with your mouth on weekdays, but now you can't help it, I see that you are still resting in the courtyard, and tomorrow you will come again to say goodbye." ”
Feng still wanted to say something, but Liu's mother ordered the maid on the side to send Feng back to the courtyard, and the maid took two steps forward and asked Feng to go back.
As soon as she left, the atmosphere in the house suddenly improved a lot, and Mrs. Qian smiled and played a round field: "The girl should not be like the Feng family, her words from a low background will inevitably be a little unacceptable." ”
Liu Xuan smiled in response to her affection, and Liu's mother asked Mrs. Qian and Liu Xuan to sit down and then said: "There must be a lot of distinguished guests in the front yard at the moment, let's rest in this courtyard first, and then it's not too late to go when someone from the front yard calls." ”
Liu Xuan and Mrs. Qian naturally agreed, and Liu's mother looked at Liu Xuan and said: "Today, it is your father-in-law who invited the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and after the salute, in a few days, the mother-in-law will invite all the noblewomen and nobles in Beijing to introduce you to you." ”
Liu Xuan bowed her head and thanked: "Mother Lao is worried." (To be continued......)
