Chapter 156: Cold Winter
Li Xin's days of living in the Ling family passed very quickly. After a period of recuperation, Old Madam Ling's body gradually improved.
Every day, Li Xin would still spare time to walk with Mrs. Ling, and later, a doctor said that it was good to exercise more. also mentioned the five poultry plays, and practicing the five bird plays every day is very fitness. Mrs. Ling also began to learn the Five Fowl Opera, and in order to accompany Mrs. Ling, Li Xin also followed suit.
Later, it became a fashion to practice the five poultry plays, and several young ladies of the Ling family were also provoked to practice together. If you follow it again, the servants in the house will also quietly follow and learn, and when you have time on weekdays, everyone will also play a dozen.
Actually, this is also quite good, the average rich and noble family, not to mention the poor health of the masters, that is, those who serve closely around the masters, have always been a little pampered, and regular exercise is naturally very beneficial to themselves. Not to mention how good the oil is to exercise the body, at least it is about the same as ordinary people.
It seems that Old Madam Ling's body is slowly getting better, and Li Xin's heart is also very happy. After getting along with each other for a few days, the relationship between her and Mrs. Ling is also increasing day by day, and she knows Mrs. Ling's love for her. People's hearts are flesh and blood, and if others treat each other with sincerity, they will naturally repay with sincerity.
She still often goes to class with several sisters of the Ling family, and she has learned a lot of things during this time. When she's not in class, she likes to think about what to eat by herself. At first, it was mainly for Mrs. Ling to eat, but then, Ling Ziye always liked to come to Songhetang to eat.
In addition to Ling Ziye, that is, Ling Feifei also likes to come over to eat. At the beginning, Ling Feifei just liked to come over to play with Li Xin, but later knew that Li Xin's cooking skills were very good, and she also liked to come over to eat. Li Xin has always been happy to take Ling Feifei around in front of the old lady. Ling Feifei is a concubine, and she is very unvalued in the Ling family, although Ling Feifei's aunt also gave birth to a second son, it stands to reason that she still has some credit for the house.
However, Aunt Zhou is really a very weak woman, Li Xin has seen her a few times, she always looks delicate and weak, she speaks very quietly, and she always lowers her head slightly when she speaks, without any confidence. has such an aunt, even the second son is also a more cowardly person, always cringe, making it difficult for people to like it.
Although Ling Feifei is a little cheerful, she still doesn't have much confidence in her heart, and when she sees Ling Xixi's sisters, she always looks inferior. It's better in front of Li Xin, if Ling Feifei can be favored by the old lady, the road in the future will always be smoother!
There are too many, and she can't help, at most, she just wants the old lady to like Ling Feifei more.
During this time, a major event happened in the Ling family, that is, Ling Xixi was married. Since Li Xin agreed to withdraw from the Li family, Ling Yifan also came forward to withdraw from the Li family. Not long after the resignation, the Li family came to the Ling family to propose marriage, and the object of the proposal was naturally Ling Xixi, the eldest daughter of the Ling family.
It wasn't until this time that Li Xin learned about the situation of the Li family. The Li family wants to marry Ling Xixi is Li Xu, the eldest son of the Li family, and Li Xu's father Li Shoujing is the same year as her father Gu Chenrui. The Li family is considered an official family, and now the head of the Li family is Li Xu's grandfather Li Yancheng. Li Yancheng is now an official and a servant of the Ministry of Officials, although his grade is not too high, he is really a person with real power.
There are also a lot of officials in the family who have left home, although the official positions are not very large, but they are also considered to be big families.
The Li family came to propose, and the Ling family was naturally satisfied, if such a good family affair was missed, I am afraid that there would never be another one. was originally going to agree, but Li Xin's sudden return became a variable. In any case, this family affair was originally Li Xin's, and the people of the Ling family naturally had to worry about her a little. Even if the Li family and the Gu family's relatives really retreated, it would be difficult for the Ling family to marry the Li family.
However, Li Xin didn't care about it, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with the Li family and the Ling family getting married. What she should say, she has carefully said it to Ling Ziye and Ling Xixi.
Therefore, the family affairs of the Ling family and the Li family have been decided, which can be regarded as a happy thing!
Li Xin sincerely blessed Ling Xixi and Li Xu, and I hope that I can really live well in the future!
After Ling Xixi got married, he almost didn't go to class, and at this time, Ling Xixi had to hurry up and embroider his dowry. Although the wedding date has not yet been decided, it must be done slowly and not too hastily, but it is still necessary to prepare for it. Get ready early, save yourself too busy.
It's already cold, after all, it's already the winter moon!
It's been a few days since she left home, and Li Xin is homesick all the time, but she can't go back, and there's nothing she can do. Earlier, she entrusted Ling Ziye and sent two letters out, and Wenbo also sent her a letter back, that is, to talk about the situation in the family. The situation at home is okay, everyone is fine, and the shopkeeper Sun is there, everything will be taken care of, there is nothing at home, so she doesn't have to worry.
He also said that the Zhuangzi is also good, and all the corn planted has been packed up and put into storage. also said one thing, that is, Master Zhou, Master Zhou won the lift, and he also took the third place in the exam, which is a very good result. Knowing that Master Zhou passed the exam, everyone was very happy, but it was also a little regrettable that Master Zhou was selected, so he had to prepare for next year's spring festival with all his heart, and he couldn't go to the academy anymore.
The students in that class led by Zhou Fuzi are not settled now! The new master will not be able to find him for a while, and there is no way to do it.
What made Li Xin happiest was that the rice seeds that followed her from modern times actually harvested a lot of rice when they were reproduced again. That means that the rice is conventional and can be multiplied forever. This is really a good thing, with such seeds, then, as long as it spreads, the yield of rice will be greatly increased.
By that time, more people will be able to eat! Although the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes is much higher than that of rice, it is not the same. Rice is considered food, rice, you won't get tired of eating it for many years, other things, where can this be!
Knowing that everything at home is good, Li Xin can be regarded as relieved. However, she really really wants to see a few Wenbo, she hasn't seen her for so long! It's a pity that there is no phone or anything here, otherwise, when you can't see someone, it can be considered a comfort to be able to listen to each other's voices!
There was no class today, so Li Xin went to Mrs. Ling's side to accompany Mrs. Ling, and Ling Feifei also followed behind her, like a small tail. These days, Ling Feifei has completely become her little tail, and she will come to look for her early in the morning, and at the beginning, as soon as it is time to eat, Aunt Zhou will let people come to Ling Feifei to go back.
Later, Li Xin would leave Ling Feifei to eat at his place, so Aunt Zhou slowly stopped letting people pick her up. Ling Feifei would be here for a day many times, and only go back in the evening. When two people are in one place, it can be regarded as each other's company! Ling Feifei doesn't have any playmates and likes to be with Li Xin very much. Li Xin also likes to take Ling Feifei with her, after all, this child is like her sister.
With Ling Feifei by her side, talking and laughing, Li Xin's mood will be much better.
"You're here, are you cold? Come and sit. When Old Madam Ling saw them coming, she beckoned them over. It's really cold outside, but as soon as you enter the house, you don't feel cold, and the charcoal basin in the house is very warm. Besides, no matter how cold the winter is in the south, it can't be cold.
Li Xin and Ling Feifei walked over and sat on the Luohan bed.
"It's not too cold, we're wearing thick clothes!" Li Xin smiled, took off the cloak outside, and also helped Ling Feifei take it off.
"It's cold, you all have to wear thicker, and now that you're still young, you'll freeze your body, and you'll have to suffer in the future." Old Madam Ling took the hands of the two of them and touched them, it was really not cold, so she was relieved.
"Grandmother, look, my cousin and I folded some plums, isn't it fragrant?" Ling Feifei seemed to take a large handful of plum blossoms from the maid's hand and let the old lady see it. The golden plum blossoms are dotted among the branches, which are jagged and beautiful. There are not many flowers still in full bloom at this time, but the plum blossoms are rushing to bloom.
The Ling family has planted a lot of plum blossoms everywhere, so when walking on the road, it seems that you can smell the aroma of plum blossoms everywhere.
"Good-looking, just the two of you are the most filial." Old Madam Ling took the plum and asked Begonia to find a vase and put it in. Although the aroma of plum is strong, if you don't put it in the house, you will still feel that it smells good.
"Grandmother said this as if others were not filial." The door curtain was suddenly lifted, and Ling Ziye strode in with a smile.
"Cousin can't be listening to the corner all the time! At this time, such a coincidence, you came over. Li Xin smiled and glanced at Ling Ziye. Ling Ziye came here to the old lady really very diligently, at least more diligently than the rest of the Ling family. Although the Wang family will also come, they will not always come over, and Master Ling will not always come.
"Where am I listening to the corner! I happened to hear it. Grandmother doesn't know where her heart is going, and it seems that we are not filial piety. ”
"The human heart is originally biased to the left! It would be strange if it was in the middle. Isn't my cousin's heart biased? ”R1152
