Chapter 327: Harmony and Departure
Mother Deng is old and refined, after she asked the maid to help her sit down, she glanced at these people, where did she not understand their thoughts? He waved his hand and said, "Jing'er." ”
"Jing'er is here."
"That's the seventh in the fifth room, you can just call her the seventh sister. Beckoning your seventh sister to sit down, the air is fresh in this courtyard, everyone will sit here. ”
"Yes."
After Liu Jing answered, she turned around and greeted the noblewomen. And the servant also moved the couch with his hands and feet, and after a while, a noble lady and noble woman sat in the courtyard.
After everyone sat down, Deng Mu smiled and said, "Since I got sick, I have been impatient with socializing...... Seventh, who let you in Zhuangzi? ”
didn't expect that Mother Deng would settle accounts as soon as she opened her mouth, the seventh sister's smile stiffened, and all the nobles and nobles lowered their heads one by one.
…… Originally, a noble lady like Mother Deng, all her behaviors and behaviors were elegant, subtle, and quiet, and she had not expressed her dissatisfaction so directly for many years.
But then again, those who need to adapt to the rules are ordinary noblewomen, and it really comes to the point of Mother Deng, she can not give anyone face except for the Empress Dowager Deng. Not to mention that she is so face-cutting now, she is directly dissatisfied, that is, she drove these people out without saying a word, and her behavior is not infamy, but may be imitation! Therefore, the real superior person makes the rules. And the so-called formulation of rules, that is, his words and deeds, naturally become rules, and naturally attract people in the world to follow suit and take them as justice.
After Mother Deng expressed her dissatisfaction in one sentence. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's all here, just say it if you have anything to say." I'm tired, you say it to yourself. ”
Ordering this, she turned to Liu Jing, raised her eyebrows and said, "Why are you sitting so far away?" Come here, give me a thump on the back. ”
"Yes."
Liu Jing walked over.
Looking at Liu Jing's well-behaved appearance, Deng Mu suddenly smiled: "I am used to pretending, and I don't know if Jiulang was also deceived by you like this." ”
…… The ladies lowered their heads more and more, and at this time, they. Listening to Mother Deng's words and deeds, he was unscrupulous. For a while, I regretted joining in this fun.
Liu Jing knew that when Mother Deng was struggling at the death line for a long time, people were really downbeat. So she walked over and sat down next to Mother Deng. Flattened his mouth and said, "Jiulang will still be deceived by me?" It's good enough that he doesn't lie to me. ”
The woman of the day. Few people say this about their husbands. As soon as Liu Jing's words came out, all the noble ladies looked sideways. It's Mother Deng, who got along with Liu Jing for a while. also understood that she was a little duplicitous, and from her complaining tone, she clearly heard the sweetness in it, she glanced at Liu Jing with a smile, and didn't say anything about her.
And the more Deng Mu was like this, the more surprised everyone was, and they thought to themselves: Where is this unpleasant? It's clearly pampered.
Liu Jing is in the land of Baiyue, how to do things for the king, Luoyang people don't know, what they know, it's all Liu Jing's old things in Luoyang, and now when they see this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law getting along, they are secretly thinking about it in their hearts, and they are also a little embarrassed because of Deng's mother's ignorance.
After the seventh cousin glanced at Liu Jing, she lowered her head and confessed her mistake to Mother Deng: "Third aunt, it was Ah Xue who was wrong." She blinked with big eyes and said with a sweet expression: "It's true that everyone is thinking about you for a while, and my niece is making up her own mind." ”
When she said this, she couldn't help but feel even more uncomfortable when she saw that Deng Mu still ignored her.
Just when the seventh cousin was a little embarrassed, suddenly, there was a sound of talking from behind.
After a while, Liu Jing had never seen it, and Li Zhi, who was no stranger to everyone present, came over. Seeing Li Zhi dressed as a young woman, a touch of guilt flashed on Mother Deng's face, and she bowed over and greeted, "Zhi'er is here?" Come on, come and sit. ”
Li Zhi's handsome face had a faint cloud of sadness, and as soon as she came in, her eyes locked on Liu Jing.
Back then, when the news of Liu Jing and Deng Jiulang spread everywhere, she was inconvenient to travel in the palace and had never seen Liu Jing. Later, she was free to enter and leave the palace, but it was Liu Jing who arrived in Jiaozhou.
Deng Jiulang rejected her mercilessly because of Liu Jing, although Li Zhi had nothing to say, she still wanted to see Liu Jing as a person.
Therefore, she was a daughter of a foreign marriage, and as soon as she knew that Liu Jing had also come to Luoyang, she found an excuse to enter Luoyang, and now she came to Deng's mansion even more.
She wanted to see Liu Jing with her own eyes, to see what this woman who made Deng Jiulang abandon all women without hesitation was like.
After Li Zhi stared at Liu Jing tightly for a while, he bowed his head and saluted to Mother Deng, and called, "Ah Zhi has seen his stepmother." With that, she turned her head again and saluted the ladies one by one.
After a cold noise, Li Zhi sat down next to Mother Deng, seeing her expression, except for Liu Jing, who still had a little look, she kept her head down and kept silent, not at all as cool and brisk as she was back then, Mother Deng thought of the rumor and became even more guilty. She said softly: "Ah Zhi, your ninth brother has also come to Luoyang, if you have any difficulties, you can tell him." ”
She glanced at Liu Jing and said, "The princess of Nanyue is also a cunning person, if you have a problem, I will solve it for you like her." ”
Listening to Mother Deng's meaning, is it to let herself take on Li Zhi's affairs? Although Liu Jing is puzzled, she is still as good as a stream. "Sister Azhi, if there is a place where I can be useful, just say it!"
She waved her horn and gave orders for a long time, and when she said this, her posture was swinging, her expression was correct, and her majesty came naturally, not only the ladies of Li Zhi were stunned, but also Mother Deng saw her like this for the first time, and she also fixed her mind, and couldn't help but look at Liu Jing.
Li Zhi saw Liu Jing say this, but she just smiled with a blank face, she shook her head and said, "I, I'm fine." ”
Seeing this, Liu Jing frowned.
She glanced at Mother Deng's expression, stood up immediately, and smiled at Li Zhi: "If Sister Ah Zhi doesn't dislike it, how about taking a turn in this garden with me?" ”
"Yes."
Li Zhi turned around, bowed to Mother Deng, and followed Liu Jing to walk out.
Walking on the boulevard, Liu Jing asked softly, "Ah Zhi, do you have any difficulties?" I see that my mother also knows about it, and she is worried. If you don't like it, you might as well tell me that maybe I can have some good ideas. ”
Li Zhi heard that Mother Deng was worried, and saw Liu Jing asking again and again, and it was not easy to delay, she lowered her head and said slowly: "Before my husband married me, he had a beloved cousin. Later, Brother Jiu accepted me as a righteous sister, and he somehow came to the door to ask for marriage. ”
…… In fact, she found out the reason for the marriage later, but it was because the man listened to the rumor that she would not get pregnant. At that time, Deng's mother had released rumors that her uterus was broken and she could not get pregnant in this life, but since Deng Jiulang figured out everything, he told the outside that the rumor was just a doctor's diagnosis.
It is unimaginable that there are always those people who will be cranky, such as her husband, at that time he thought that Li Zhi really couldn't get pregnant, and later released the words that he could get pregnant, just for her to marry.
Her husband-in-law is extremely good in official affairs, and he is also a talent, and he has been showing himself clean for so many years, when he came to ask for marriage, Li Zhi's parents also responded, that is, Deng Jiulang heard about it, and he also happily let people give Li Zhi a large dowry.
But Li Zhi didn't know that his husband had a sweetheart who had been in love for many years until he entered the door. They had a secret affair and had twin sons. Because her sweetheart's father had committed a crime and was enslaved, her husband thought about marrying Li Zhi, who was unable to have children, as his wife, and then finding an excuse to take back the twin sons born to his sweetheart and record them as sons-in-law in his wife's name. In this way, the sweetheart is not liked by his mother, and he cannot enter his house as a concubine, but he can be raised outside as an outer room, and a pair of biological sons become sisters-in-law, which can also give her a future to rely on.
Because of this, in the eyes of outsiders, it seems that the husband who does not accept concubines and is clean and self-righteous treats Li Zhi very indifferently. And since he knew that Li Zhi could get pregnant, he had never touched her again......
And Li Zhi entered Luoyang this time because he knew about his husband's son and his sweetheart who he raised outside. Now, the sweetheart is pregnant again, and Li Zhi enters Luoyang, first, he will meet Liu Jing for a while, and secondly, he will avoid the affectionate, righteous and loving family.
Because she likes her husband, Li Zhi didn't tell anyone about these things, it was Deng's mother, and she vaguely knew that she was not doing well, and thought that it was because Li Zhi had an affair with Deng Jiulang, so she was hated by her husband, so she felt guilty.
Originally, Li Zhi didn't plan to tell Liu Jing, but Liu Jing has traveled south and north over the years, and she is very experienced in dealing with people, plus she is very good at detecting the truth from clues.
After listening to Li Zhi's words, Liu Jing stopped.
She turned her head to look at Li Zhi and said slowly, "Ah Zhi, I think you should leave." ”
Li Zhi looked up in a daze, and looked at her in a little surprise, you know, people in the world are persuaded to make peace and not to leave, how many women are blinded by their husbands, that is, they would rather die than think about leaving.
Seeing Li Zhi looking at herself, Liu Jing said quietly, "Don't you want to leave?" She sneered: "You are Deng Jiulang's sister-in-law, and you have the support of the mother of the Empress Dowager behind you...... Ah Zhi have you thought about it, just with these two names, how much light can your husband have in officialdom and business all these years? Co-authored, he can rely on the benefits you bring to fame and fortune, and then, with the benefits you earn, to raise his beloved woman and raise the children born to his beloved woman? And you, a wife with a strong background and a backstage, should be a background, you should stand there in obscurity, sheltering them from the wind and rain on the one hand, bringing them glory and wealth, but on the other hand, you don't even deserve to have children, until one day the use value is gone, and there is no one to sacrifice to the grave when the loess is buried? ”
In a blink of an eye, she laughed again: "Yes, there must be people who sacrifice to the grave, and after you are a hundred years old, there will be two high-ranking officials pointing to your grave and laughing: Yo, this is a fool, she is not even worthy of children!" But she's also useful, and if it weren't for her, where would we be where we are today?
Li Zhi: "......" (to be continued......
