Chapter 48: Everyone has his own aspirations
If Yi'er was incredulously uneasy when she first heard Liuying say, then when she really faced the Li family, her mood had slowly calmed down!
She couldn't say why, she had vaguely felt that what Liuying said was not a lie, she was even a little afraid to face the Li family, she was afraid that she would hear the truth from the Li family's mouth that she didn't want to believe!
Li's expression was very calm, she looked at Yi'er lovingly, there was a trace of elegant indifference on her face, and she nodded lightly in the face of Yi'er's stammering questioning.
Yi'er only felt that her head exploded suddenly, she was puzzled, to be exact, she didn't believe it, she couldn't believe that her mother, who loved her father so much, let another woman come to her father's side, and even took the initiative to take a concubine for her father!
Li Shi took Yi'er's hand, let her sit beside him, and stroked her head before saying softly: "Silly child, my mother has lived a long time, how can I hide the things in my mother's room?" Liuying's girl, my mother was by her side, in order to let your father use it when the time is right! ”
"But the daughter doesn't understand, the relationship between the mother and the father is so good, why do you want other people to get involved?"
Li smiled and said: "After you were abducted by the Lantern Festival at the Lantern Festival, my mother wanted to give birth to another child for your father, but this stomach has not moved, my mother actually knows that it is because my mother thinks of you in her heart, and with a knot, it is difficult to conceive a child again!" At that time, my mother wanted to take a concubine for your father, so that she could spread the branches for him, but your father knew that your mother was bitter and insisted on not accepting a concubine. Speaking from the heart, my mother can be so cherished by your father in this life, and my mother has long been satisfied! ”
"Later, your father because he had nothing to do under his knees, as the eldest son of the concubine, he didn't even get the title of the marquis's mansion, and his mother was both self-blaming and painful, so he personally made the decision and took a room of good concubines for your father from the outside, who knew that on the day of the concubine, the good concubine was sent back by your father, after your father came back, the mother quarreled with him, and in the end he finally agreed, if the mother was thirty years old and could not give birth to a boy and half a woman, he would have taken a concubine!"
Li Shi looked at Yi'er and continued, "Does Kite know? My mother is thirty-one years old this year. ”
Yi'er said: "Isn't my mother pregnant with a child now, then the original agreement should be canceled!" ”
Li smiled: "You don't know, when I met you in the deserted village, my mother was so happy in my heart, my mother thanked the gods and Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in her heart, and I was afraid that it was just a dream." Do you know, kite, it's really worth everything if your mother can find you, even if you let your mother die immediately, your mother is not afraid! ”
Yi'er had tears in her eyes, grabbed Li's hand and choked up: "Mother's ......"
Li continued: "At that time, my mother thought that my mother didn't want anything in her life, she just wanted to guard her mother's kite well!" But your father has no children under his knees, although he has never said a word, but my mother knows in my heart that he still minds, and he will still feel regretful, so my mother made a decision at that time to take a concubine for your father and give birth to a son for him. Now that my mother has you, I have to think about your future, although Liuying is not the child of the family, but her body deed is in the hands of her mother, and she is not afraid of what waves she can turn over, and if the concubine who is taken back from the outside is not so easy to control, so the mother weighed it, and only Liuying is the most suitable person! ”
Yi'er said: "Mother, have you forgotten your belly?" What is pregnant in it is the younger brother of the kite, the father's precious son, and when he is born in the future, won't the father have a son-in-law? Why did the mother still give her father a concubine? ”
Li touched his belly and said, "Who knows that this is in my mother's belly, who knows that it must be a son?" ”
"However, my mother is pregnant now, even if she is a sister in the future, then my mother can still conceive again, and she will always be able to give birth to a younger brother!"
Li touched Yi'er's head and said, "Iris, do you know, not long after my mother found you, I was pregnant with another one in my belly, and my mother knows that this is the good luck you brought to my mother, this child, whether it is a boy or a girl, my mother's life is complete." Mother said, in the second half of her life, mother has you and this in the belly, mother has nothing to ask for, in the future, mother is afraid that she will focus more energy on you and your younger brothers and sisters, for your father, it is inevitable that there will be a place that can not be taken care of, give him a concubine, can better take care of and serve him, mother is also at ease! ”
Yi'er had to say more, Li Shi had already waved his hand, and said: "Besides, this is the girl who promised Liuying at the beginning, after so many years, this girl is also well-behaved governor, although the mother mentioned her, but she will also beat her appropriately, let her know that there are some things she can fight for, but there are also some things that she should not think, you can rest assured, my mother knows what to do!" ”
Yi'er couldn't understand Li's logic at all, and of course he couldn't agree with Li's approach, but he could also see that Li's mind had been decided, and it was definitely not something she could convince in a few words!
Coming back from the main house, Liuying was still kneeling in her room in a proper manner, Yi'er sighed, personally pulled Liuying up from the ground, and then asked: "Sister Liuying, I have figured out the matter, and I can't blame you for this matter, I blame you." But now, I just want to ask my sister one question, is my sister willing to follow her father as a concubine? ”
Liuying was stunned, obviously she didn't expect Yi'er to ask this, she thought for a while, and was about to speak, Yi'er said again: "Sister, don't be busy answering, Yi'er still has a few words to say in front!" If my sister is not willing, my sister doesn't have to worry about my mother's sister, I will go to explain to my mother, and, from now on, I am willing to get along with my sister as a real sister, my sister does not have to doubt my sincerity, I can say it, I can do it naturally, if my sister still doesn't believe it, I can immediately go with my sister to see my mother, say for my sister, and let my mother accept my sister as a goddaughter! ”
After a pause, Yi'er continued, "Of course, if my sister is willing, I can't stop my sister, my sister should cherish it for herself, so that she can do it for herself!" ”
The other people in the house had already been driven out by Yi'er, leaving only Yi'er and Liuying, and as soon as Yi'er's words were finished, the room was suddenly silent.
Qing Li and Lan Qiao were guarding the door, and they didn't know how long it had been, only to see the Liuying push open the door and walk out a little distracted, Qing Li was worried about Yi'er, so she hurriedly stepped in, but Lan Qiao gouged out the eyes of the Liuying fiercely, and then rushed into the house behind Qing Li.
Yi'er sat on the soft couch and was distracted.
Qing Li saw that Yi'er's expression was fine, Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly took a cloak to put on Yi'er, and said: "It's cool in the autumn night, Miss should pay attention to your body!" ”
Yi'er glanced at her and said, "Qingli, you said, can a woman be happy if she marries a powerful man?" ”
Qing Li said: "Miss, don't think nonsense, some people are bent on climbing that high branch, and they don't hesitate to ignore their conscience for this, slaves and maids don't believe that this kind of person is also worthy of talking about happiness or unhappiness!" ”
Yi'er didn't expect Qing Li to say such a thing, she looked at her in surprise, and after a while, she smiled and said, "I didn't expect our Qing Li to forget if she didn't speak, this burying people is so poisonous!" ”
Lan Qiao poured a bowl of hot tea and handed it over, and said with hatred: "Where is Sister Qingli's words?" If you want the slave to say, this kind of person who doesn't know what to do should wear a bad ass, and the young lady can't hurt her mind for this kind of person. ”
Yi'er raised her eyes and saw Lu Fu, so she asked, "Where is Lu Fu?" ”
Lan Qiao said: "Sister Qingli is afraid that she is too impulsive, and it will not look good when she makes trouble, so let her go to sleep first, and then it will be her turn to go to night in the middle of the night!" ”
Yi'er said: "You guys are too careful, Lu Fu talks a little more, but she is also measured, where has something been bad?" ”
Lan Qiao flattened her mouth and said to Qing Li: "Sister Qing Li, you see I'm right, Miss is eccentric, you know that you love Lu Fu Nan Nizi, you still don't believe it, now you should believe it!" ”
Qingli but smiled silently.
Yi'er said: "You mouth, Lu Fu is not here, you just did all her work, what's the matter, you still want Miss to send you two monthly money?" ”
Lan Qiao's eyes lit up, and she said happily: "Sister Qingli, come and testify, this young lady said it herself, and she will not be allowed to repay the account when the time comes!" After thinking about it, he said, "Actually, Miss, the slave maid is very capable, even Sister Qingli's share has been done, anyway, Sister Qingli usually doesn't talk much, it's much easier than Lufu, otherwise, you let the slave maid do Sister Qingli's too, and then the slave and maid will be able to receive three monthly money, hehe!" ”
Yi'er stroked her forehead, stretched out her hand and pulled Lan Buckwheat's face, and said helplessly: "Look at this little face, delicate, dripping and smart, why is this cheeky so thick?" ”
Lan Qiao suddenly cried with a sad face, and made a look of wiping tears with her hands, and said: "Miss just looks at the weakness of the slave maid, and she knows how to bully the slave and maid, where is the slave and maid's cheekiness?" If you want to say that it is thick, it is also the thick skin of the green Fu Nan Nizi, Miss doesn't know, a few days ago, the dealer lady who delivered food to our house came, and the green Fu was cheeky to let the dealer lady bring a melon from the Western Regions when she came next time, and ......"
Qing Li stepped forward and stopped Lan Qiao from continuing, and said: "It's not early, it's better for the slaves and maids to serve the young lady to take a bath first, and the young lady will rest early, and tomorrow morning I will go to the reception hall to listen to those housekeepers!" ”
Yi'er thought for a while and said, "I'll soon only have you three big girls here, and I don't want to enter from the outside, you usually pay more attention to it, see which one of the following can be used, and then bring it up directly!" ”
