Chapter 0197: My Mother's Little Cousin
(Happy Lantern Festival to everyone!) This year, the circle of people is just like the full moon, the reunion is round, and the circle is complete! )
Managing the people is like a housekeeper, and the governance of a family is not good, let alone a government, so it is said that the Qi family governs the country and the world. First Qi family, then can govern the country, and finally level the world. Many local officials also use this method to manage family affairs, and their status is like an official rank, and whoever does what they do is what they do, and they cannot exceed it at all. The same is true for Li Haozhi's family. The Dong family is the eldest and the main room, so she has the largest status in the family. The rest are all concubines, with equal status, and to distinguish who is big and who is small, you can only use the time of entering the door to distinguish who comes first and who comes later. In this way, the remaining concubines are called the second aunt, the third aunt, the fourth aunt, the fifth aunt, and the sixth aunt.
The Feng family only entered the door last year, so the house is called the sixth aunt. The sixth aunt's room is adjacent to the fifth aunt's room, and it is on the east side of the courtyard. Entering the courtyard, there is the residence of the fifth aunt, and then to the east is the residence of the sixth aunt. The two of them are in the same courtyard, and they don't look up on weekdays, and they often feel a little idle.
Early that morning, the little girl in the sixth aunt's room went to the kitchen to bring hot water, and Feng got up to wash. Unfortunately, Li'er, the big girl in the fifth aunt's house, was also in the kitchen, and she also had to pour hot water. Shi Shi has to eat hot tea before breakfast. Que'er came first, and was about to pour water, but he didn't want Li'er to rush in, so he pushed Que'er away and said, "My grandmother wants to drink tea first, and you will use it later." ”
Que'er was younger than Li'er, and she was not angry, so she stepped forward and said, "Why? But I came first, and my grandmother is still waiting to freshen up. "Anyway, let's push the oriole too. Seeing her pushing, Li'er tripped over her foot first, and she fell to the ground with a little water in the basin. The water in the basin sprinkled her.
Li'er saw her lying on the ground and laughed. said: "My grandmother is the first to enter the door, and the rules of our family are the ones who enter the door early." My grandmother is the fifth aunt. Your grandmother is the sixth aunt, and the sixth aunt naturally wants to let the fifth aunt too. You, just stand aside, honestly let me make tea. ”
The magpie was lying on the ground, her face and body were splashed with water, and her hair was also wet. After all, she was a child, annoyed, and got up from the ground. Bend over and arch your head and hit the bird. The bird dodged away, and the magpie hit the corner of a table in the kitchen, and a piece of blue on her head. At this time, Que'er quit, knowing that she couldn't beat Li'er, so she fell here to let them see the joke, so she had to stomp her feet, cover her head, and cry and said, "You wait." I'll see how my grandma cleans you up in a moment. ”
Li'er smiled proudly: "Okay, let your grandmother come over." Your grandmother has to let my grandmother come over. ”
Don't want a magpie basin, turn your head and go straight into the room. Huang Tao was lying on the bed waiting to freshen up, and he didn't see the magpie for a long time. It's a big fire. Listening to the footsteps outside, he scolded: "You little hoof, what about seeing a little guy outside?" Where did you die in the last half of the day? ”
Magpie lifted the curtain and came in. knelt in front of Huang Tao, covered his face and cried: "Ask grandma to call the shots." ”
Huang Tao was surprised: "What am I doing for you?" Hello talk about it. Something happened with some hot water? ”
Que'er finished talking about the quarrel with Li'er just now, and had to add some disrespectful words to the yellow peach in the middle. It arouses the anger of the rhubarb peach. Sure enough, Huang Tao is also a teenager, and before she was halfway through her words, she got up from the bed, rolled up her sleeves, and scolded: "That girl dares to bully people? Don't look at her master's stupid appearance, that face is longer than a donkey's face, how can you rob me? Let's go and teach them a lesson. ”
Huang Tao put on his clothes, followed by Que'er, and came to Shi's theory. The oriole was very proud, and he was telling the master how to teach the magpie a lesson. Shi originally didn't like Huang Tao very much, he thought she was young and vigorous, and he refused to accept his training many times. This time, I heard that Li'er was embarrassed by her master, and she didn't say anything, but she also had some joy in her heart.
No, the two were snickering, only to see Que'er leading the yellow peach into the door. Seeing this, Shi Shi pretended not to know, got up with a smile and asked, "Who did I say, it turned out that my sister is here, please take a seat!" Come to me so early in the morning? Li'er, hurry up and serve my sister some snacks, my sister must be hungry. ”
Huang Tao's face was gloomy, and he snorted coldly and said, "Don't cry and pretend to be a mouse." My people have been bullied to the head by you, what kind of good person are you pretending to be here? ”
Shi Shi was surprised: "Hey, where did my sister start with this?" I don't know anything. After that, he glared at Li'er and asked, "But what are you doing again?" ”
Li'er hurriedly knelt down and said, "How dare Li'er do it? It's just that Li'er was making tea for her master just now, and she saw Que'er's sister in the kitchen. Sister Que'er had to pour hot water first, Li'er said that the master was in front, and when Li'er made tea for the master, it was not too late for Sister Que'er to pour water. Somehow, Sister Que'er grabbed it to pour hot water, and as soon as Li'er flashed, Sister Que'er fell to the ground. In this way, Li'er shouldn't have dodged at that time, and she should have let Que'er's sister beat Li'er. ”
is also thanks to Li'er's mouth, taking retreat as advance, and in an instant, it turned unreasonable into reasonable.
Shi Shi smiled and said: "Sister Huang Tao, you also heard it, it's not Li'er's fault that you hear it like this, but it's Que'er's sister's fault." There are also rules in our house, Sister Huang Tao should have heard of it when she first entered the door, and the big ones should listen to the small ones, that is a dead rule. Sister Huang Tao should have an opinion, and she can talk about it to the master at night. Sooner or later, now the lord only likes you, but no one loves us people. ”
Shi's combination of soft and hard, hiding a knife in his smile, only forced Huang Tao to have nothing to say. She was stunned for a long time, and she couldn't think of a word to answer, so she glared at Li'er fiercely, and said angrily to Que'er: "Let's go, let's go back." ”
Que'er originally expected Huang Tao to come forward and grab Li'er's face, at least scold her a few words, who knew that the master only asked a sentence and wanted to go back, so he had to be aggrieved and said: "Master, this is going to leave?" ”
Huang Tao scolded: "What if you don't go? Still embarrassed here? ”
As soon as the two Huang Tao master and servant left the house, the Shi master and servant laughed in the house. The bird got up from the ground and only praised his master for doing a good job. Shi Shi also said happily: "It's also thanks to your quick response, otherwise I wouldn't be able to answer." ”
Li'er spat at the door and said, "It's long overdue to teach them a lesson, look at their proud appearance, aren't they a few years younger." Relying on the lord to spoil her, she doesn't look at our master anymore. It's not Li'er who said, master, how can you stand this kind of anger. The lord has been here all night, sleeping in her room, how can you see it? ”
Speaking of this sad incident, Shi Shi could only sigh and said: "The eldest lady has said it, I have never heard the newcomer laugh, who has ever heard the old man cry?" We're all old people, what else can we do? ”
Li'er said: "I don't think the master needs to think about it, isn't there still that person?" Today, the master is going back to his parents' house, just to meet that person? ”
Shi Shi knew that the person in Li'er's mouth was his cousin, named Hu Zhong. The two of them knew each other when they were young, and they were childhood sweethearts. Later, she was married into the mansion by Li Hao, and this cousin has not yet married. Last year, when she came home, she happened to see this cousin, and for a while both of them couldn't help but do such a happy thing in bed. Who knows, this joy is out of control, and from time to time, Shi will go back to his parents' house to see this cousin. The person she was talking about was her cousin, and after breakfast today, she was going home to see her cousin.
So, Shi said: "It's almost time, let's go to the big courtyard to have dinner, and we will go back after eating." ”
Oriole said yes. The two went to the big courtyard together to greet the Dong family, had breakfast again, and then left the Li Mansion and went straight to their parents' house. Shi's mother's house is four or five miles away from the prefect's compound, and they took a sedan chair and arrived at a meal.
The Shi family had only one old mother, and there were two or three old servants by his side. Shi's old mother is dizzy, and many things are confused, and she usually can't do anything with one eye open and one eye closed. When Shi entered the door, the old mother was resting in the inner room. Shi was familiar with the road, bypassed the old mother's inner room, and came to the backyard. It's in the middle of nowhere, and there's a small firewood house full of stacks of firewood and haystacks. Shi's cousin Hu Zhong was waiting here, and when he saw Shi enter the door, he couldn't wait to hug him.
Shi Shi was held in her arms and whispered, "You can slow down, there is still a girl outside." ”
Hu Zhong is not very old, about thirty years old. These days, thinking about Shi Shi is sad, where can he take care of anything else. hugged her first and muttered, "What do you care about her?" Isn't she your person? I want to kill you, and you won't come back once for so many days, but what should I do? ”
Shi Shi struggled and smiled: "Look at you monkey in a hurry? Isn't this coming back? You men are all cats, and if you don't see anything fishy, you're so sad that you're going to die. ”
Hu Zhong didn't care about anything else, pushed Shi down on the firewood and straw stack, and was busy undressing. After a while, the two of them were over. Hu Zhong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I finally quenched my thirst." ”
Shi Shi sorted out the messy hair on his sideburns and said with a smile: "Then I'm going back, you're dying of thirst?" ”
Hu Zhong lazily lay on the stack of firewood and straw and replied, "Man, there is always a solution." But you say, when will you come back? I can't go on without seeing each other for a month, so we have to think of a long-term solution. ”
Shi asked, "How can you last long?" ”
Hu Zhong said: "In the prefect's mansion, there are so many small helpers, am I not better than them?" I heard you say that your eldest wife, isn't there an assistant who is very handy, do you dare to say that they don't have a leg? If the big lady can do it, can't you do it? You go back and ask for a helper, and let me go, haven't we been for long? ”
Shi Shi thought about it, this is also a good way, so he said: "I'll go back and tell the master, and I'll give you a letter in three or two days." ”
Li'er was guarding the door outside, and saw the old lady from a distance being supported by a big girl, trembling and walking. Li'er hurriedly said loudly: "Oh, the old lady is awake, my young lady just happened to go to the toilet." I see that she is finished, and I will bring her over to you in a moment. ”
The two people in the room were busy dressing up, waiting for the footsteps to go away, and hurriedly walked out. (To be continued......)
