The next day, if Li Dan was tired, he didn't need to say goodbye, so he just slept in one breath until it was almost time to eat, and then he got up to freshen up and eat.

Mama Shen came in with the bag of shoes and insoles, talked to Li Danruo carefully, took a shoe and looked around and smiled: "These shoes are really strong, but they are too strong." Li Danruo couldn't stop laughing: "Mama is really good at talking, the wife only wears light and soft shoes, these, Mama took it to the right person, and the people sent it, and it didn't really mean that the wife could wear it, but it was a heart, tomorrow I will find the space to talk to the wife, and transfer this intention to the will, is this Li Yungen's business done?" ”

"Not yet, it is said that the sister-in-law of the Li family is a small soup shop along the street, selling some tea and rice, hot soup or something, this Li sister-in-law in her mother's house, she learned to burn a good hand of tea and rice, because of this, the eldest brother of the Li family plans to sell soup and tea and rice in a small shop between the plates, I heard that I am about to see the capital again, it seems that I haven't fancied yet, this Li family brother is really an honest duty to endure hardships, such a day, I heard that every day with two pieces of dry biscuits running around, even the mouth of hot water is reluctant to buy, Min steward said that once he ran into him, I saw that he was squatting on the corner of the street with a dry cake to gnaw, such a cold day, what a sin! Steward Min dragged him to the small shop to drink a bowl of mutton soup, what he was grateful for, you see, just like that, from the third master into the house, people have not come to look for it, Steward Min told me, sighing no, you see, this is like this, the first one, you have to be hard, two, you have to earn your own anger, people look at you well, it is worth helping, and they are willing to reach out and pull you, speaking of which, our wife has a good life, this Li family brother is like this, this is the brother of the third master's relatives, siblings, how can anyone give up? If this eldest brother of the Li family is like his father, I don't know what to do••••••"

Mama Shen raised her hand and pressed it to her mouth and smiled: "Don't ask, girl, it's not a big deal!" Li Danruo leaned at her and smiled: "Since it's not a big deal, let's talk about it, I should listen to a joke." Mama Shen said with relief: "Yes, it's just a joke, that is, the day after the third master entered the mansion, Li Yufu dragged his little son, just around the corner at the entrance of our house, saw the third master getting into the car at the gate of the house, rushed up with his little son, and pushed the kid to the third master, saying that you can't ignore your brother, look at it, what is this!" Shame on the filth! ”

Li Danruo frowned slightly, looked at Mama Shen and asked, "What did the third brother say?" ”

"It's at the gate of the mansion, how can he pester the third master? A few porters immediately opened, and the third master asked people to find Steward Min, saying that he didn't understand the rules, and asked Steward Min to deal with this matter, and then got in the car and left. ”

Li Danruo tilted his head and thought about it and said with a smile: "This matter, the third brother is not easy to deal with, Steward Min took him to find Mrs. Li?" ”

"But no, the girl just understands, what is Min Guan annoyed, this succession has gone smoothly, because of this, the eldest master has praised him in public, if this reaches the ears of the old lady and our wife, it makes the old lady and our wife feel uncomfortable, where will his old face go? The ancestral hall was opened in the clan that night, and Mrs. Li was ruthless to divorce Yufu's daughter-in-law, I heard that Yufu's daughter-in-law was scared to pee a skirt, Li Yufu and his daughter-in-law kowtowed and were full of blood, and later, although Mrs. Li did not leave Yufu's daughter-in-law later, he did not spare him in the end, and drove his family to live outside the gate of Weizhou, hum! knocked on our door, and didn't weigh it, then Mrs. Li is not a good fork, his seventh brother heard that he reads well, and he pointed to our house to carry it, and he pulled it away, even if the girl heard about it, we don't owe him Li Yufu, when he chose the third master Chengyou, he didn't cross him, and now he has sealed three hundred taels of silver to him, who is this person••••••

Li Danruo sighed and smiled: "How is this Li Yufu like a rotten cloth bag, what is it, it all depends on the support of the daughter-in-law, how good the earlier Yufu sister-in-law is, this Li Yufu is also a little human, now that he has married such a daughter-in-law, he goes into the muddy field every day, but the old lady Li understands and knows about their family." ”

"No, the earlier sister-in-law of Yufu, on the street, who doesn't say that she is benevolent, righteous and courteous! It's a loss that the three brothers and sisters are all with Yufu's sister-in-law, look at it, in this family, the daughter-in-law is the most important, a good daughter-in-law, three generations of good descendants! It's no wonder that the eldest aunt and grandmother have to pick a daughter-in-law for two or three years!" Granny Shen pulled from this way to that way, Li Danruo smiled and pushed her and said: "Don't worry about other people's daughters-in-law, your family's peace and happiness are not small, you also have to pay attention to your daughter-in-law, a good daughter-in-law, three generations of good descendants, you have to keep your eyes open, carefully and seriously pick a good one!"

"As soon as you say this, don't tell the girl, I really like one! Just talk to the girl today, and the girl will help me refer to the details," Shen Mama said, stood up, half-squatted and leaned into Li Danruo's ear and spit out a person's name, Li Danruo's eyebrows were raised when he listened, and after a while, he blinked and said, "You are really good-sighted!" I don't have anything, it's the same, I have to be willing in the hearts of others, otherwise, there is no fate!"

"That's, don't worry, the designation can be done, what a good child Pingfu is, I have a good temper, marry back and designate to be a girl!" Mama Shen said with confidence, and Li Danruo laughed out loud: "Mama praised herself so much...... No wonder I like to boast about myself, I learned from my grandmother!" Mama Shen laughed out loud when she said that.

On the ninth day of the first day of November, the second grandmother Gu had a seizure in the middle of the night, and before waiting for the dawn, she gave birth to a little girl in her early five catties, and Mrs. Ning got the letter in the middle of the night and sat on the kang with her clothes and read the peace scriptures, until she got the report of the safety of the mother and daughter, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and even recited a few words of Buddha, this firstborn is the ghost gate, and the adults and children are safe!

As soon as the morning dawned, Li Danruo took Yao Huang and Wei Zi to Gu's courtyard to take a look, but he didn't enter the door, but only asked Gu's companion Cui Mama a few words at the door, and then came out to the main courtyard to ask for peace.

Mama Cui sent Li Danruo back, and saw that Gu was half-sitting drinking a bowl of soup, and looked at the sleeping baby on the small bed next to her and smiled: "This rule of the Li family is really rare, everything in the confinement room must be scalded with boiling water, wormwood must be smoked, and ventilation must be done, even if these are forgotten, why are there no people in the house to visit during this confinement, in the end, there is no human touch." ”

"Follow the customs," Gu handed the bowl to Qingyan and said indifferently: "The two children in the long room are also confinement like this, the rules of hot things and smoked wormwood have been done until now, and it is not a bad thing, you see, those two children are really sick a lot less than other children." ”

"Yes," Mama Cui nodded in agreement: "Especially Brother Yu, the old lady has a lot of things, this time get out of bed and walk around, grandma will really be tomorrow?" ”

"Well, that's how my sister-in-law walked, I said that if I walked, this waist can also be thinner back, I feel much better, bring the child to me to see, where is the jade pendant that the old lady rewarded?"

"It's hanging on my sister's bedside, it's really a good jade! At first glance, it is an ancient old thing, such a jade, it is really spiritual......" As soon as the jade was mentioned, Mama Cui was excited, hugged the child and put it beside Gu's, and was still talking excitedly: "I can't find a second piece of jade like this, the old lady is really good, I didn't say what happened if I gave birth to a sister, this is the blessing of grandma and sister......"

Gu Shi looked down at his daughter, and couldn't help but smile: "Look at what you said, such a person, the old lady and the lady are very reasonable people, where do you want to go!" While speaking, she stretched out her hand and wanted to hug her daughter, Mama Cui hurriedly picked up the baby and carefully put it in Gu's arms and said with a smile: "Grandma, don't use your strength, I'll hold it, you can hold it up, I'm tired in the confinement, and I'll be sick for a lifetime!" Gu gently held his daughter, full of love overflowing, and he couldn't hear Cui's nagging anymore.

In the middle of November, the annual performance appraisal of the Ministry of Officials ended, and the third master Li Yushao got Zhuo Yi again, this is already the second year of Zhuo Yi, the eldest master Li Yujing got the letter, and the privy envoy Huang said hello, went straight to the main courtyard, and the old lady Ning was full of joy to report the good news: "...... San Lang doesn't know how much hard work he has put into this year, but it was not in vain, even if he was born in the shade, with these two Zhuo Yi, if he invites the blessing of heaven next year, he can get a Zhuo Yi again, and San Lang's big promotion is accurate. ”

Old Madam Ning didn't bring much joy, slowly twisted the Buddha beads in her hand, and after a while, she waved her hand and retreated from the girls in the house, looked at Li Yujing and said in a low voice: "When people are old, they think a lot, this year is the end of the twenty-first year, and the emperor is nearly sixty years old, right?" ”

"Mother?" Li Yujing's expression became solemn, and Mrs. Ning was stunned for a while, and sighed long and gloomily, as if she was talking to her son, and as if she was talking to herself: "For a while, I always think of your father, back then, if you didn't want to fight for the merit of supporting the establishment and be the first minister of our big beam, why would you do your best until the oil runs out?" Can't even get through a minor illness? Li Yujing's eyes turned red, and he said in a low voice: "When my father left, he was in the prime of life." ”

"But no, I've been thinking over and over again all these years, if I had persuaded him back then, and persuaded him well, maybe I could persuade him? If your father had been here, you wouldn't have worked so hard all these years. ”

"The son is not hard, the mother doesn't think too much, the father has such a temper, the mother doesn't know yet, the talent is high, the heart is high, where can I listen to the persuasion? Besides, my father's body is not strong, this is ...... My father wasn't wrong. ”

"That's luck!" Mrs. Ning corrected heavily: "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, alas, it is a good thing that your brothers have ambitions, I am old and think too much, I don't say much about this, your brothers discuss it, just the same, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, our family, we must not get involved!" That's a catastrophe that robs the house!" Old Madam Ning's voice was fierce, Li Yujing hurriedly stood up and knelt on the ground and responded: "Mother rest assured, my son will never dare to disobey his mother's orders." ”

"You get up, this family has been supported by you all these years, it's not easy, how about a family like ours, but the icing on the cake, cooking oil with fire is not a good thing, I heard that Yuancheng wants to ask for a send?"

"Yes, last month, the Hebei Military Festival made Wang Dajie have a stroke and could not be a director, and the emperor has allowed him to enter Beijing for retirement, however, this Hebei Military Festival envoy, it seems that the prince is bound to win, and he has pushed four or five people in a row, this matter, I told Liu Dalang, and my mother also knows that Dalang and his sister have different tempers, and they are extremely cautious and cautious. Li Yujing hurriedly explained carefully, and Old Madam Ning breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "This has a good temper, like your sister, so what's the matter?" The eldest prince ......" Old Madam Ning didn't say any more, and Li Yujing smiled: "It is said that the eldest prince is the most like the emperor." ”

Old Madam Ning smiled and said, "The emperor was silent back then...... How many people were shocked by the edict of succession? The eldest prince is now so imposing...... Alas, the Sacred Heart is unfathomable, our family, we can stand as far as we can, do you hear? ”

"Yes! The mother can rest assured that the son can save this weight. Li Yujing hurriedly replied: "Later, I will send a proper confidant to Luzhou to explain to the third brother." ”

"Hmm." Old Madam Ning breathed a long sigh of relief, and Li Yujing accompanied her and said a few more gossips before withdrawing.
