Chapter 20: Woe to you
Su Liheng's matter cannot be done overnight.
It's not that Liu Ke is not at ease with Tong Rust's character, but the matter of the Su family, and the relationship is heavy.
Liu Ke didn't want to watch his two uncles suffer in the bitter cold.
So she wanted to touch Tong Rust first, and also make some preparations by the way.
After Liu Ke listened to Tong Rust's words, he smiled and said: "It's my own private matter, it's not good for outsiders to know, there are many people in this house, it's better to go to Liangyuan Village." ”
When Tong Rust's family heard Liu Ke say this, they reached out and took the gold leaf of a purse.
She is from the village, and it is not good to stay in the house for a long time, after Liu Ke finished explaining, she asked her to wrap some medicinal herbs and sent her away.
After Tong Rust's family left, Liu Ke saw Liu Feng's brows tightened, and said with a smile: "Big brother, what's wrong?" ”
Liu Feng said with a gloomy face: "If there is anything I don't want to do for you, just go to Zhuangzi to see an outsider, if it is known-"
Liu Ke snatched Liu Feng's words, personally poured him a bowl of tea and said with a smile: "If it is known, I will just be bored in the house, go to my own Zhuangzi and go around, and the autumn harvest will be soon, I will also help the third aunt take care of family affairs, and it is not too far to go to the village to see." ”
She knew that Liu Feng had always loved her, and if she knew what she was going to do, she would definitely oppose it, so she only smiled and said, "Does my brother know how to do business?" ”
Liu Feng was stunned by her question, shook his head and said, "No." ”
The smile on Liu Ke's face slowly retracted, and he said seriously: "I won't, however, I can't do business, but I have to learn how to contact these people, say something that shouldn't be said, in another year or two, I will reach the age of marriage, although I am the eldest daughter of the Liu family, but in the end I still have the name of a widowed eldest daughter, it is impossible to say that it is high, at most I can find a medium-sized family, even if my grandmother loves me and gives more dowry, but there are other sisters looking at it, and my grandmother is not too partial, In the end, I still have to live my own life, no one can replace me, it's okay for a man to use it, if not, I have to plan for myself. Does my brother still think that I don't need to contact the outside steward? ”
Liu Ke said that Liu Feng's eyes were hot.
Without a mother, the father is not useful.
Liu Ke is in the boudoir, and at a young age, he has to think about the future by himself.
made Liu Feng feel sour in his heart when he heard it.
"Okay, when you go to Liangyuanzhuang, tell me, and I'll take you there."
After Liu Ke heard this, he was overjoyed, "Okay, it's much more convenient in this way." ”
Liu Ke has no available people around now, if she doesn't take her subordinates out, the old lady Wang will definitely refuse, but if she brings too much, she is afraid of extraneous branches.
But if you are with Liu Feng, you can save a lot of trouble.
Liu Feng instructed Liu Ke a lot of words, before standing up and leaving, just out of the courtyard gate of Xiuzhuyuan, there was Xiao Wu beside him to pass the word, Shi Yan was going to set up a banquet in the West Mansion, invited Liu Feng and the sisters in the East Mansion, to see off Liu Feng, and also made a post.
Liu Feng looked at the post in his hand, crying and laughing.
At this time, Liu Ke, Liu? , Liu Zhen also received an invitation from Shi Yan.
After Liu Ke saw it, he chuckled and said, "Brother is not leaving his hometown, but he is going to Dajue Temple, and he needs to see him off in less than an hour." ”
After saying this, he asked Qi Hong to go back to him, "Just say that I want to help the third aunt take care of the housework, it is inconvenient to participate, thank him for his kindness, there is nothing to send to you here for the time being, you can play there for a while and then come back, but there is one point, if there is anything at the banquet, you must tell me when you come back." ”
Qi Hong is a jumpy character, and when she heard that Liu Ke was going to let her go to Xifu, she was very happy, and she ran out happily after answering the call.
Liu Ke hadn't been to the council chamber in the morning since he got sick.
Today, I just took advantage of this incident to sit in front of Han.
Willow? After receiving the invitation with Liu Zhen, they didn't mean to refuse.
Willow? After asking the reason, he went back to the old lady Wang.
Because she was just going to Xifu, the old lady Wang agreed, and ordered her to talk to Han and let Han arrange carriages and horses.
Liu Zhen took the invitation to Zhu's upper room.
It's just that Zhu is not in the room.
After asking the girl, I found out that someone from the Zhu family came to pick her up early in the morning.
After Liu Zhen heard this, she secretly wondered: My mother didn't take me with her when she returned to her grandfather's house, so she went by himself.
Thinking like this, he also returned to the old lady Wang.
Willow? , Liu Zhen and the two sisters went to Xifu to attend the banquet together, Liu Ke spoke freely in Han's room, and they didn't say anything for the time being, just talking about the fact that Zhu went to Zhu's house early in the morning.
Early this morning, Zhu Rui ordered someone to pick up Zhu's, saying that he hadn't seen her for many years, and took her back to get together.
The Zhu family went to the Mercy Garden to return to the old lady Wang, and it happened that Aunt Jiang was also there.
This morning, Aunt Jiang went over early to wait for Zhu to get up, and Zhu took her to the outer study to serve Liu Ming.
I don't know why she's here.
Aunt Jiang is not an outsider, so she returned to the old lady Wang as she was.
Wang said: "You are close relatives in the end, I am not old and confused, how can I not let you go back, let the third family go to the warehouse to find it, I am afraid that there are still a few old ginseng plants, bring two to the wife of the in-laws, count it as a little bit of my heart, if it is short today, go early and return early." ”
Zhu kowtowed and thanked Mrs. Wang, went to Han to receive ginseng and went out of the gate.
After arriving at Zhu's house, she first went to meet her mother Cheng.
Cheng is fifty-six years old this year, and since the death of Old Man Zhu, he has been haunted by the sickbed.
The two daughters are not in front of him, the eldest daughter Zhu Yu married into the Wuxing Qian family, and the second daughter is the Zhu family - Zhu Hai, although she is married to this county, but Liu Ming is rarely seen as an official in Beijing all the year round, there is only one Zhu Rui who is not in front of him, only after he was lifted, he didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, and he didn't get it many times.
Because Zhu Rui accepted many concubines in the name of his heir, Zhu Rui's wife, Li, was not very dedicated to her mother-in-law Cheng.
However, in three years, Cheng's family, who was originally a little rich, was so thin that only a handful of bones remained, his originally oily cheeks were full of folds, his flesh skin was loosely drooping downward, his eye sockets were deep, and his mouth was not good.
Not long after, Zhu Rui personally went to pick up his sister and go to the front hall.
Cheng was reluctant, so Zhu Rui said perfunctorily, and let Zhu come back after a while.
Zhu knew that Zhu Rui had brought her back today definitely not to let her visit her mother, it must have been for something else, and she happened to ask Zhu Rui about the day before yesterday.
As soon as he got out of Cheng's courtyard, Zhu put down his face, looked at his eldest brother coldly, and said, "What happened a few days ago, don't look at me, I don't know." ”
Zhu Rui was furious when he was stared at by his sister, and forced a smile: "What are you referring to?" ”
"What else can I do, that little guy of the Zhu family has nothing to do outside the backyard of the Liu family at night, it's not enough to do evil things, but also to bring the Zhu family to the Ming place, such a thing that specifically causes trouble for the master, and it is not enough to kill him early, and you still use him." Zhu's face was furious, and he walked as he walked.
After Zhu Rui heard this, he also wondered: "He has never been like this," After saying this, he asked in a low voice: "You won't have already taken him-"
Zhu said angrily: "Killed!" ”
In fact, after the Zhu family beat the little guy, he ordered someone to send him out of the city, and sent him away, and now he is just angry to say this.
Zhu Rui didn't know what she was talking about, and after listening to it, he patted his thigh and said, "Oh, why don't you discuss it with me, what if you leave him alive, how can you let me explain to Aunt Xu-" As soon as he said this, Zhu Shi stopped abruptly and asked sharply: "What Aunt Xu, when did an Aunt Xu pop up?" ”
Zhu Rui said angrily: "My Xinna's aunt is the bead embroidery who used to serve by my mother's side, her surname is Xu, and that little girl is her younger brother." ”
"Why do you put everyone in your room, one on the left and one on the right, is there a bit of moderation?" Before Zhu finished speaking, Zhu Rui became impatient and said, "I didn't let you count me down when I picked you up today, whose little sister still cares about whether the eldest brother takes a concubine or not, I have something to do with you." ”
"What's the matter? Do you have something to do too? Zhu held back the anger in his heart and said.
Over the years, Zhu Rui has not done enough to fail, if he is seriously angry with him, Zhu should be angry.
Zhu Rui looked back and forth, left and right, and said, "Go to the front hall and talk about it." ”
When they arrived in the front hall, after the servants served tea, Zhu Rui drove them all out, closed the door, walked to Zhu's side and changed his expression just now, and whispered in a frightened voice: "This time, my sister will definitely save me." ”。
