Chapter 185
"Bisheng, you are an ignorant person, your brother is weak, his heart is pure, and he only knows how to read."
Liu Shulai was still a little unconvinced, but it can be seen that his mother was depressed, and he couldn't say what he said. In fact, he is not without feelings, which of the uncles and uncles of the Liu family is not staring at his own situation?
Every New Year's Day, they have a kind face, but in fact, they say things with knives hidden. Over the years, he has been fighting with others a lot during the New Year.
Mrs. Liu didn't care whether her son listened to it or not, and then said: "Outsiders say that you are deviant and ridiculous, if the daughter of any family marries you, I am afraid that the rest of my life will be ruined, which is no different from jumping into a fire pit." ”
Liu Shulai Nuonuo whispered a little unconvinced: "Mother, I'm your own son, outsiders can just say it, why don't you say the same thing." ”
When Mrs. Liu saw that he didn't gag anymore, she knew that he probably listened to his own words.
"Mother is not arranging you, I just think this makes sense. But it's not that you have a bad temperament and are not a good person, but I think that our Liu family is now a fire pit. Mrs. Liu beckoned her son to follow her to the front yard to take a look, and said softly, "The Liu family is decent now, but how many people inside and outside are eyeing it and want to swallow it." Especially those of us who are in business with the official family, if we are not careful, we will lose all our money and go bankrupt. If you don't pay attention, I'm afraid that you may be doomed! ”
Even if she has an idea, she doesn't dare to break this path easily. She knew very well that once she broke off the relationship with the nobles in the capital, how many people in the Niu family and the Zhao family hated to put the Liu family to death.
When Mrs. Liu said this, she didn't give her son time to think deeply, and she even threw out her own worries.
These words had been weighing on her heart for so long that she could not bear to forcibly restrain her own son when she saw her eldest son, who had been neglected for a long time when she was young, sullen because of being ridiculed.
As a result, her eldest son became more and more out of tune because of her indulgence, and his temperament was completely like a child, jealous and hateful, and there was no room for sand in his eyes.
Sometimes, she also thinks that since her son is living happily like this, then let's just live like this.
As for the second son, although he is sensible, he is very weak, and she is even more cared for, lest there be a mistake.
In this way, her difficulties naturally have nowhere to be said.
But now it's different, as her son and the daughter of the Lin family got married, Mrs. Liu felt more and more that her son had gradually grown up. At least, it's not as careless as it used to be.
Especially today, seeing that her son actually knew how to protect the daughter of the Lin family, she suddenly felt that her son was not a person who couldn't take care of things at all. But even though his son has changed, he is still inflexible. Just like today, she can help her son scold the Li family and the Zhou family, in the final analysis, this is a matter that cannot be seen between women, even if it is quarrelsome, it is also the woman's careful thinking.
But if it involves shops and industries, it has to be mentioned separately. After all, once those are touched, it is equivalent to moving the interests of the clansmen behind the Li family and others. Even if it is her, she must be cautious, otherwise she is afraid of dragging the Liu family behind.
Liu Shulai saw his mother with a sad look on her face, and she felt very uncomfortable.
"Come, my mother said this today, not to ask you to really be able to support the family business. I just want to tell you that after Baoru girl marries into the Liu family, she will not only be ridiculed and ridiculed because of you. As long as she becomes the daughter-in-law of the Liu family, she will encounter many difficulties. Even those things that you are not willing to bear, she will take on for you. Mrs. Liu's mind turned back and forth, but her expression was very calm, and finally she just chuckled, "If you can protect her, then maybe she can be more relaxed." But come, if you can't protect her, she will have to walk a long and difficult road like her mother did at the beginning......"
Liu Shulai, who was used to gags in front of his mother and coaxed his mother to smile, felt a little overwhelmed for the first time, and he was silent and didn't speak.
Liu Shulai suddenly remembered what Lin Caihe asked when he was in the Lin family, what if he ran out of money one day!
At that time, he was indeed a little dazed, and when he recalled it later, he would laugh softly, how could he fall to the point of having no money?
But now that he heard his mother's words, he realized for the first time that the silver was never obtained out of thin air.
His chic days, the second brother's well-cultivated body, were all because his mother was in front of them to block the wind and frost.
Liu Shulai inexplicably remembered when his father was gone, when he was hiding behind the pillar with his young second brother in his arms, trembling at the patriarch grandfather and uncles in the clan who were kind and kind in the past, and forced his mother to hand over his father's seal.
Later, for a long time, my mother was too busy to touch the ground, and even the second brother who was crying at that time often fell asleep eating his own fingers.
By the time he was older, his mother had changed from a very gentle temperament to being easily irritable, and during that time, the grandmothers and aunts in the clan would always be picky about their mothers.
At that time, my mother would often hug them and cry for a while, but after crying, my mother still wore the best clothes and went out to hang out with people.
It's just that his life was so smooth that he slowly began to remember those things at the beginning......
Liu Shulai pursed his lips, and suddenly felt a little scared in his heart.
If he can't protect the black heart lotus, what should he do?
On the Liu family's side, the maids and maids were busy with each other, and the stewards of the shops also tried their best to send all kinds of rare congratulatory gifts. On the restaurant side, they started preparing dishes in the backyard of Liu's Mansion early.
The people of Yifu, big and small, are all happy and very busy. Wanshulou
Only Liu Shulai sat in the front hall in a daze, holding the cold tea, and all kinds of thoughts flashed in his heart.
Liu Shuyan, who was helping to write the happy message, heard that his eldest brother seemed to be unhappy, and he was afraid that the eldest brother would complain about this family business. After thinking about it, he simply put down the pen and ink in his hand and got up to find his eldest brother to persuade him.
But before he could reach the front hall, the two of them met.
"Brother, you ......" Liu Shuyan didn't know how to comfort his eldest brother, so he could only try to think of the wording.
But Liu Shulai smiled, patted his second brother on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Second brother, study hard, take care of your body early, and go back to take you to the suburbs to ride horses!" ”
Liu Shuyan looked at him in astonishment, not knowing which tendon his eldest brother was wrong again. Could it be that you are confused? At this time, I was still thinking about going to the horse!
In fact, it wasn't that Liu Shulai grew up instantly, but when he saw his weak second brother again after being stimulated, he suddenly felt that if he compared, it seemed that the second brother was the worst one.
Anyway, he has lived a life of free will for more than ten years. But the second brother is different, in addition to reading and writing, he is drinking medicine to cultivate, and his life is definitely boring.
Thinking like this, the sorrow in Liu Shulai's heart turned into pity for his second brother.
As for Lin Baoru, he also figured it out. He would never really let that black heart lotus be troubled by others, not to mention anything else, no matter whether it was fighting or scolding, he had never lost.
Mrs. Liu didn't know what her son thought, and if she knew, she could only sigh helplessly. Hey, although it's not in tune, but it's also her own son, what can she do? She's also helpless......
said that after the Qian family went back with Aunt Lu, he first went to the second room to talk about what the Liu family had seen and heard. According to the two of them, Mrs. Liu is sincere to this daughter-in-law who has not passed the door.
When the two of them said this, it made the Wang family, who was holding his heart high, a little more relieved.
Although she knew before that Mrs. Liu valued her daughter, the more she went underground, the more anxious Wang's mother became. I am afraid that Mrs. Liu is just pretending to treat her family Baoru in order to marry her son's daughter-in-law smoothly, and I am worried that Mrs. Liu is a ruthless mother-in-law......
But now that her sister-in-law and sister-in-law Lu don't feel that something is wrong, she can rest assured.
When a few people said this, they were ready to open their faces to their own Baoru.
It has been a custom in Taoxi Village since ancient times that on the day before the girl gets married, you have to open your face, that is, open your face.
A woman who has both children is looking for two threads to pluck the hairs from her face for the girl to be married.
And there are several children in the house, Aunt Lu is the first one, and her relationship with the second room is already close, so this matter is naturally handed over to her without dispute.
In order to ask for an auspicious omen, Aunt Lu also beckoned someone to find two verdant evergreens and put them on both sides of Lin Baoru.
When Aunt Lu was preparing the thin thread, Wang and Qian found red paper and pasted it on the two pots of evergreens, and the red reflection of the ten thousand years of green became more and more gratifying.
Aunt Lu took the red double thread, twisted the double thread into three knots with a twist of the fingers at both ends, and then pulled a head with each hand, so that the thread was straightened between the two hands, and the other head was forked and pulled away with her mouth, so that the two red threads formed a "ten" shape.
Then, she put the double line close to Lin Baoru's cheek, and moved her hands up and down, and the red double line was divided and closed. It seems that in an instant, when the line touches Lin Baoru's face, the hair can be twisted off.
Lin Baoru only felt that the two lines were attached to her face, and with Aunt Lu's action of tearing open and closing, her cheeks were slightly itchy and a little painful.
She looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and in a trance she felt, oh, she was really going to get married. After tomorrow, she's going to leave home.
Obviously, it was something that he didn't care about before, but at this time, it made Lin Baoru's heart sour, and she was a little unspeakably stunned.
Aunt Lu flicked left and right on her cheeks, and said with words in her mouth: "The left flick is a noble son, the right flick is a delicate man, and the third line is stably played, and the young lady gives birth to a unicorn." The eyebrows are pulled like a crescent, and the champion looks at the flowers. ”
When Lin Baoru was still cold, Aunt Lu had already repaired her sideburns.
At this time, a few auspicious words have also been recited, and this opening face can be regarded as done.
Seeing that it was halfway down, Aunt Lu didn't stay long, saying that she would come over and take a look after the dark, so she went home first.
After Aunt Lu left, the Qian family reminded the Wang family a few words, no matter how much Baoru got married, she should inform the old mansion.
At that time, what kind of attitude there is is is their business, but at least the Wang family is not lacking in reason.
The Wang family also knew in their hearts that getting married was a big deal, so even though they didn't let the Liu family get involved before, they really had to invite the Liu family and Lin Laohan to come over.
