After lunch, Li Shi reclined into the brocade smoke Rong Qin Xiangfei couch covered with cotton, and there was a python pillow embroidered with silver, gold and blue thread behind him, Rumei roared in from outside, lifted the bamboo curtain of Xiangfei and shook violently, and complained: "Mother, why don't you buy me books?" It hurts that good and is in the limelight. ”

Ruqing and Rumei are almost inseparable, and they were once laughed at by Liu's mother that the two were not from the same mother's belly, but they were more intimate than those born in the same belly.

Every time Rumei heard this, she raised her chin proudly, looking incredible. And Ruqing smiled secretly bitterly, she can't help it, there is such a little overlord-like sister, can she not obey her? What's more, there are people above them.

Ruqing is holding her urine and suffocating miserably today, and she still hates Li Xiao so much that her teeth itch, but when she saw Rumei's longing for spring, she was puzzled, how old is this girl?

Rumei's actual age is seven and a half years old, just half a year old, such a young child, spring will come so early, in the thinking of modern people, it is incredible.

However, Rumei's early arrival in the spring, in the eyes of Li and others, seems to be so commonplace. I saw Li Shi say slightly impatiently: "What to buy?" Others say that if the wind blows, you will want rain. I can't read all the words and I want to buy books. ”

"But if you buy it, why can't I buy it? I don't follow, mother, I want that set of books too. "Rumei stomps her feet.

Li Shi was angry and impatient, endured his anger, and persuaded: "Didn't you hear that King Jing said that this book has been sold out just now?" Everyone wants to borrow books, where do you want your mother to buy them? ”

Rushan also followed and persuaded, "Yes, the third sister, the second brother and the third brother don't each have their own sets?" If you want to see it, you can go to your brothers, why waste any more money? ”

Li immediately said: "It's still a good girl." If you really want to see it, go find them. After thinking about it, he said, "Zhiyi's temper stinks, and he doesn't even buy it, so you go to him." That's it, I'll let Zhilian give you his set later. You don't have to buy it anymore. Your sister is right, why waste all that money. "It's not that the Li family is stingy and refuses to spend money for his daughter, but in fact, today when I see the prince of King Jing treating Rushan like that, I feel so annoyed in my heart. In addition, the housekeeper took the account book with her just now, she calculated it carefully, and found that the expenses in the house had increased sharply in the past two months, and Zhili did spend a lot of money to go to Nanjing to catch the exam, which was expected, but what made her annoyed was that Yiqingxuan's expenses were frequent, especially Rushan, making new clothes for a while, buying new jewelry for a while, buying books for a while, Li calculated the general ledger, and the expenses of this Rushan were more than those of Meihua, so he was not angry.

The so-called concubines are different, how can there be concubines who live more beautifully than concubines, especially that Rushan pretended to be obedient and clever in front of King Jing's son, and his heart was even more angry.

So, Li sat up straight, stared at his daughter for a while, and said to Liu's mother: "Is Master Nuhong here?" ”

Liu's mother said: "It's almost there, it usually arrives at Shen Shi." ”

Li said: "Wait for her to come, you let her go back first, and come back tomorrow." I'll take Rumei out first. Seeing Ruqing standing beside Rumei stupidly, innocent, I couldn't help it, "And Qing girl, let's go together." ”

Rumei said: "Mother, are you going to take me to Zhenweifang to eat delicious food?" ”

Li poked her forehead and scolded: "Just know how to eat, you foodie." You don't look at people who are kind, only half a year older than you, but you are so good at camping, and people are also smart, but you are stupid, living like a country girl who can't see the world. Why don't you learn to be good? I only know how to play all day long, and I don't study hard. * The more Li scolds, the more angry he becomes, it's completely more human than human, angry people, what kind of virtue does his daughter have, she is a mother, how can it be unclear, except for having a pretty good skin, it's just useless. Thinking of the appearance of being proficient in martial arts like the eighteen, I was jealous. But let her eradicate the dissent, she doesn't have the guts, she can only scold Rumei to be angry.

Rumei said unconvinced: "What's good about her?" Isn't it just pretending to be clever in front of my father and being opportunistic in front of outsiders, hmph, I'm born to a serious wife, so I won't follow her example. Thinking of what he did at the time of Rushanping, he snorted hatefully, "Only a little woman will drill the camp like that." ”

Ruqing heard a burst of cold sweat on her forehead, if she wants to say this Rumei learn, she still can't recognize a few words, to say that she doesn't learn and has no skills, but sometimes, she can learn it thoroughly, and she can draw inferences from one another. The word "drill camp" was also accidentally said by her two days ago, and Rumei listened to it and used it today.

Li was blocked so that he couldn't say a word, as if, as if ----- Rumei said it, it was not unreasonable.

Seeing Li's angry appearance, Liu's mother hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Don't be annoyed, Mrs., what the third girl said is not unreasonable." Since ancient times, the parents' orders, the words of the matchmaker, and the marriage of this daughter's family are all decided by the parents. Which round got the girl to fight for herself? The second girl's actions like that are estimated to only be presented for a while. But any girl born by a serious wife, how can she disregard the dignity of her wife and give gifts to men? ”

Li Shi was slightly relieved, but his heart was still panicked, "But that girl can really write poetry and ----"

Liu's mother said: "A woman's lack of talent is virtue, and a girl's family will have to marry and have children sooner or later, take care of housework, serve her in-laws, raise children, manage slaves, what is it to be able to make poems?" Proficient in the female Red Cross will settle accounts, that's what matters at the top. Mrs. Don't envy that Zhang's family, thinking that at the beginning, no matter how she could compose poetry, she could only be a concubine, and she didn't have the life of being a housewife. Is there a housemother's poetry and painting on his lips? It's not the operation of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. Mrs. forgot the fourth aunt and grandmother of the second master's family, that is a lesson in blood. ”

At the mention of his cousin, the depression in Li's heart was swept away. Li's mother's family has a cousin, who was also a well-known talented woman when she was not out of the cabinet, and later married to the son of Zhizhou, who was also extraordinary, did the main house, but after marrying, it was less than three years old, and her husband disliked it, and her in-laws were disgusted. Later, after investigating the reason, I learned that Li Jiatang's aunt and grandmother were arrogant and arrogant, relying on the poetry in their womb, no one looked down on it, and the account book handed over to her by her in-laws was also called a vulgar thing, and she disdained it, and relied on her knowledge, and said goodbye to her aunt, and refused to give in at all, which made the relationship between husband and wife deteriorate, but she was not divorced.

Li Shi thought of her cousin's current situation, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, she got up, looked at Yiqingxuan through the osmanthus tree in front of the window, there was already a faint sound of the piano, snorted coldly disdainfully, and muttered to herself: "Hmph, you can learn, it is best to learn all eighteen kinds of martial arts, and find a mother-in-law in the future, and you can serve your in-laws with your piano sound." ”

Li is such a joke about seeing Rushan, but in his heart, he still hopes that Rumei will be like Rushan, and he will be likable on all sides, and regardless of the viciousness of the autumn tiger, he took the two sisters out with Rumei and Ruqing, and went straight to the British Capital Workshop.

Looking at the new satin makeup in the British capital workshop, Li secretly gritted his teeth, "The so-called Buddha relies on gold clothes, people want clothes, and they are as decent as good, but they are lined with precious materials." My Rumei looks good in clothes, and she will definitely not be worse than her. Seeing Ruqing standing beside him obediently, he said secretly, "Come on, let's make two for this girl, lest someone say I'm favorite." ”

*

*

Li thinks here that he is broad-minded, and the girls who come out of his concubines are treated equally, and he feels that he is very great. But Fang Jinglan did the opposite, praised Zhilian fiercely, but scolded Zhiyi to the blood.

"Look at your brother, he is younger than you, and he knows how to be hospitable. You're good to treat your guests like that. What is the identity of the person? Is that the prince of the king? You just rely on the faceless refusal of your fellow disciples, and you don't say a set of books, even ten sets of books have to be borrowed. Fang Jinglan scolded with a flattering mouth, "Don't be afraid of flattering your father, it's really the way of an official, what you pay attention to is affection and relationship, this one more friend, and one more enemy, can't you see the power of this?" Still have your young master shelf there. Didn't General Zhuguo teach you these truths? ”

Zhiyi lowered his head and let his father scold him, not saying a word. The Zhilian on the side was proud, but he quickly straightened his face and persuaded him: "Father, don't be angry, the second brother must have a good relationship with the son, so he will be so unreasonable." What's more, doesn't the son of the world also care? ”

"You know what? Although this prince of King Jing is talented and weak, he has been taught by King Jing since he was a child, and his ability to be indistinguishable from joy and anger is much more transparent than yours. People are angry or happy, if you can see it, do you still need to invite the master? The more Fang Jinglan spoke, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but scold Zhiyi again.

Zhiyi has always been scolded by his father like a wooden man, but in the end, he couldn't help but retort: "Father, you fell for him." The dignified prince of Jingwang, what do you want? Will there be one less set of books? As long as he says a word, someone will offer it with both hands, so why do you need to open that mouth? He was clearly deliberately trying to take advantage of me. ”

Fang Jinglan was stunned, and then his beard trembled again, "But you bluntly rejected others." Wouldn't this greatly cost people face? ”

Zhiyi snorted: "If he still wants to save face, he won't come to me to ask for books." ”

"You, you evil obstacle ----" Ren Fang Jinglan is so eloquent, but in the face of this cold second son, he still can't find an effective rebuttal, so he has to calm down, relieve his anger, and prepare to convince people with reason, "People are the prince of King Jing, who doesn't borrow it, but prefers to borrow you?" That's obviously looking up to you, why can't your head figure this out? ”

Zhiyi was still a flat coffin face, and when he heard the words, he couldn't help but say: "Father, why are you so hot to go to someone's house, then Li Xiao didn't come to our house to borrow books." You're hot, and everything in your eyes responds to others. ”

Before Fang Jinglan could speak, Zhilian had already asked: "It's not borrowing books, so what's more?" ”

Zhiyi looked at his nose and his nose and his heart with his nose, pursed his lips tightly, and said nothing.

Zhilian couldn't stand the disregard for Zhiyi like this, although he was ruthless, he smiled at the other party as if nothing had happened, "Daddy, I'd better forget it, watch out for your body." The second brother has always had this temper, so don't push him too hard. ”

Fang Jinglan was both moved and impatient, "I am still honest and sensible, and I know how to think about my father." "He is hateful and impatient with Zhiyi.

"Forget it, this matter is over anyway, and there is no need to mention it in the future. By the way, what is the purpose of this prince of Jing Wang, who came to our mansion? ”
