Chapter 15 Zheng and Shu
"The second sister's dowry is very neat, and I really don't have anything to say." Li Shuihua held his mother and said with a gentle smile, Li Shuihua's appearance and personality are similar to his mother's, but he is much worse than Mrs. Liu in terms of shrewdness, and his temperament is more gentle and supple than Mrs. Liu. ”
"Well, my mother went in with the silver again." Li Shuihua said in a low voice, Mrs. Liu patted her daughter's hand gently, as if teaching, and as if gossiping: "Looking glamorous, it's actually not worth a few silver, unlike you at that time, spending this bit of silver to buy a decent and glamorous look is a very cost-effective thing, besides, the second sister is married to our Beijing government after all, and there is enough room for the future, but a few taels of silver, we are not short of silver." ”
"Well, although there is no shortage of silver, it is necessary for the mother to be generous and virtuous, and the mother is better than the wife." Li Shuihua's voice unconsciously fell, Mrs. Liu turned her head, looked at her suspiciously, shook her head and said solemnly: "You are wrong to say this, if you talk about generosity, your wife's measurement is rare, I will say you, don't look at things carefully, this is not your mother is more generous than your mother-in-law, why don't you think about it, the second sister is just a girl's family, that one," Mrs. Liu raised her chin to the depths of the back garden: "That's a gentleman!" This is the difference between heaven and earth, the girl's family, raised in the backyard, in the palm of your hand, you let her do her duty, she has to do her duty, turn around, say that a mother-in-law is married, this matter, so far, it can be regarded as a hundred, so can you do this? Before getting married, I stabbed my heart and became a parent, where! See, that's a serious second room! There is a house of grandchildren in this house, there are wives and concubines, sons and daughters, this is like a thorn in the flesh, the girl's family will reach out and pull it out when the time comes, but the concubine will take root and sprout in your flesh, and spread out the branches! How can this be the same? ”
Li Shuihua shuddered when he heard this, looked at his mother and said with a smile: "What my mother said, it's weird and scary, is this really the case?" This is what Mother said...... Thinking about it, it's really like taking root in the flesh and bones, mother, Aunt Shui has a body. After Li Shuihua's messy words, he suddenly said a very light sentence, the voice was almost inaudible, but Mrs. Liu screamed as if the top of her head had been blown up: "What! How many months? You are dead! How did she get pregnant?!"
"In less than two months, don't worry, mother, just knew, it was me who was negligent, me!" Li Shuihua was shocked by her mother's reaction and spoke incoherently, said a few words, calmed down, her face was slightly pale, but her words were fluent: "Mother, don't worry, her monthly letter has passed for half a month, it's not that I haven't been careful, her monthly letter has always been inaccurate, it often lasts for ten days and eight days, I think it's been half a month, and after dark last night, I quietly called a doctor to come in and treat her." Mrs. Liu took a deep breath and exhaled a long breath and asked, "What do you mean by the Qiu family?" ”
"I arrived early this morning, and before I could say it, I told Erlang and asked him, and he said, listen to me." Li Shuihua hurriedly replied, Mrs. Liu exhaled again, turned her head left and right, pulled her daughter, and went straight into the warm pavilion next to her, stood in the pavilion and looked around, pulled her daughter and asked in a low voice: "Erlang, is this the truth?" ”
"Well, Erlang treats her very ordinarily, when I told Erlang about this, he was annoyed at first, and blamed me for not being careful with the medicine, and then said whatever I wanted, and my mother also knew that Erlang was not the kind of deep-minded." Li Shuihua explained in a low voice, Mrs. Liu breathed a long sigh of relief, her fingers quickly tapped the wide jade bracelet on her wrist, and after a while, her fingers suddenly stopped, Mrs. Liu turned her head to look at Li Shuihua and said in a low voice: "This matter, it is better to be in a hurry than to delay, you should pour her a bowl of medicine this morning and then come over!"
Li Shuihua looked at her mother with annoyance, and Mrs. Liu patted her gently: "Although you have a soft temperament, you know it in your heart, and I haven't worried about you much, this time, you are wrong in not thinking about virtuousness!" I tell you, be virtuous when you should be virtuous, and be jealous when you should be jealous! You have given birth to two sons, and this concubine has the same son, so you don't need to be virtuous! In the future, you remember, if he wants to take or take, he will follow him, only the same, and not a single seed of iniquity! The children in your room have to come out of your belly, remember?!"
Li Shuihua nodded again and again with a flushed face, Mrs. Liu took a deep breath, and said in a cold and cruel voice: "This matter is over now!" I don't need you to go back, I'll let people boil medicine, will Mama Chen come with you? ”
"Didn't come." Li Shuihua hurriedly replied, Mrs. Liu said 'um' and continued: "Then let Ju Xiu run and let her send the medicine back, Mama Chen is here, let Mama Chen watch it and pour it down, let Ju Xiu watch it, and come back when she sees it, and Erlang, you can comfort and appease it these days." In the last sentence, Mrs. Liu looked at her daughter and whispered gently.
Li Shuihua nodded: "Well, then let Xinghong send it, Erlang has praised Xinghong a few times, this girl's eyebrows and eyes are not restless, for no reason, I didn't spit out, and when I go back, I will let him accept Xinghong." Mrs. Liu looked at her daughter with satisfaction and said with a smile: "I'll just say, in this matter, you made the word 'virtuous' blind, okay, mother will let Mama Jin boil medicine." Mrs. Liu said, raised her voice and called Mama Jin in, and gave a low and delicate order, and Mama Jin agreed and hurried away.
Mrs. Liu was not in a hurry to go to the main courtyard, and instructed the eldest girl Jin Zhu and others to take a thick cushion over, and sat with Li Shuihua in the warm pavilion, slowly gossiping, and when Mama Jin boiled the medicine, Li Shuihua called Xinghong to come in, and ordered with a peaceful face, and called two henchmen to follow, watching Li Shuihua send away Xinghong, Mrs. Liu stood up, laughed with her daughter and went to the main courtyard to see Mrs. Ning.
Li Danruo came out of the main courtyard with fat red and bean green, and met Mrs. Liu and Li Shuihua, Li Danruo hurriedly stepped forward and bent his knees to salute, Li Shuihua lovingly reached out and straightened the cloak strap in front of Li Danruo and smiled: "On such a cold day, where are you going to play?" Look at the freezing!"
"Hello eldest sister, I'm going to see the second sister's dowry, my wife said, I want to learn to manage the family, just look at the eldest aunt, this dowry is the most exquisite, let me learn it." Mrs. Liu laughed when she heard this, pointed at Li Danruo and said with a smile: "Then you have to watch carefully, it's not enough to just look at the excitement, look at it carefully, look back, come and talk to me in detail, as soon as I listen to you, I will know if you really watched it, or did you play a show!" Li Danruo smiled in response, turned sideways to let Mrs. Liu and Li Shuihua go, and went to Xiaocuitang with fat red and bean green.
Fat Red was in front, looking at Xiaocuitang from afar and said with a smile: "Let's pass through Xiaocuitang, we can save a lot of roads." Li Danruo nodded in response, holding the hand stove in one hand, holding the skirt slightly in the other, stepped on the steps lightly, passed through the empty Xiaocui Hall, bypassed the rosewood screen, stepped out of the door with one foot in front of him, and hurriedly retracted it like a hot one, took a few steps back to Li Danruo's side, pointed outside and whispered: "The third lady and Han Bi and Han Xiang are looking at the dowry outside." Li Danruo tilted his head and thought about it, waved his hand, signaled the two of them to silence, handed the hand stove to Doulu, carried the skirt, tiptoed to the door, looked out twice, hurriedly retracted back, Chong fat red, Doulu pointed to the back, and the three of them came out from the other side of Xiaocui Hall, Li Danruo smiled: "Let's go over there and take a look at the plum blossoms, and then look at the dowry." Fat Red and Dou Green answered, and the three of them went around in a circle and went to Merlin next to them.
In front of Xiaocui Hall, Li Jinrui was wearing a small emerald wool cloak, holding a hand stove, walking very slowly from the middle of the dowry, turning her head, looking at the dowry in the same way, not stopping, reaching out to touch it, twisting it, or opening the box, plucking it with her fingers to look at it carefully, while looking, she smiled with Han Bi in a low voice: "I know, it's all on the face, you see, patronize it and look good, how can you have a little sincerity?" I heard that when the eldest sister got married, the dowry was too heavy to lift, and the hands full of clothes boxes couldn't be inserted, and the jade box couldn't be opened, and once it was opened, it couldn't be closed, look at this!" Li Jinrui flicked the jade box that had just been closed.
"It's not biological, it's not bad, half of the public middle school, and the eldest lady herself posted at least half of it." Han Bi said euphemistically, Li Jinrui pulled the corners of her mouth down and sneered: "What do you mean that she is half posted, it is something from the big house, something from the big house, and the second sister has no share?" is born to a concubine, she is a serious second lady in this house, and she has to be counted in the big house! It's just a bully!" Han Bi looked at Li Jinrui and was silent for a long time before she said in a low voice: "In the past two months, the girl's temper has become bigger and bigger day by day, and even my wife was topped yesterday." ”
Li Jinrui turned her head and said nothing, Han Bi looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and then persuaded in a low voice: "Mrs. is not wrong in what she said, the girl will marry someone in the future, and treat those concubines and concubines as the girl said?" ”
"I'm at least better than them!" Li Jinrui replied strongly, Han Bi looked at her for a moment, lowered her head and didn't speak again, Li Jinrui took a deep breath of cold air, and felt irritable in her heart, and suddenly lost the mood to look at the dowry, and pulled the cloak irritably, put on the dowry group, and went straight to her yard and hurried back.
