201, Chinese New Year

The Xu family's New Year's gift was sent out four days before receiving the Qi family's return gift, compared to the Xu family's richness, the Qi family's return gift is more than that, the Wang family and the Li family are overjoyed, secretly thinking that the stone to ask for the way is really right, the Li family regrets that the first two years should not be reserved for the woman's face, should have asked a clear understanding earlier, if it was asked two years earlier, I am afraid that the family matter has already been decided.

The Li family happily hosted the Xu family for a lively year, that is, looking at Xu Shan and Xu Jie, who had always made her feel troubled, were much more pleasing to the eye, and the marriage between the two of them was no longer so disgusted and repulsed, and he took the initiative to tell Xu Hui about the bad relationship between Xu Jie and the son of the Han family.

Xu Hui didn't expect Xu Jie to be so indecent, and he was completely chilled in shame, and the little compassion he had for Xu Jie before disappeared, "Since she chose it herself, let's fulfill her!" ”

Li nodded, and said, "Then Brother Shan'er, does the master have a pick?" ”

Xu Shan is Xu Hui's first son, although he is a concubine, but he has also been pampered and raised since he was a child, but after he grew up, Xu Shan became more and more unsuccessful, Xu Hui was cold-hearted, but he still couldn't help but think more about the eldest son.

"Brother Shan'er is not good at learning, and people are also afraid of it! I'm afraid that this road will not work, so there is no need to pick a high-ranking family, choose a wealthy Yue family for him, even if the family is lower! ”

The implication of Xu Hui is that Xu Shan will not be able to be an official in the future, and he can probably only eat and wait for death for the rest of his life, so find a daughter-in-law with a rich dowry, and she can eat soft rice in the future and be safe for a lifetime.

Li Shi understood the meaning of Xu Hui's words, and only felt a burst of happiness in his heart, let Xu Shan pick and choose now, in his eyes, he is just a wreck who only deserves to eat soft rice!

So Li said very generously, "When the time comes, he will be given some good industries when he splits the family, so he will have no worries about food and clothing!" ”

"Madame has a heart!" Xu Hui praised it, and then talked about Xu Ting's marriage, "Sister Ting is also in time, Mrs. should bother more!" ”

Li's eyes dodged, and he said, "The old lady also told the concubine two days ago!" ”

"That's good!" Xu Hui nodded, glanced at the Li family, and looked at the Li family's evasive eyes, knowing that the Li family was still thinking about the Rongguo Mansion, and couldn't help sighing, "Don't count too much on the Qi family's side, although the Qi family was fine in last year's Jiannan Road corruption case, but the Qi family's family friends fell off several times, and the Qi family's relationship network in the court was ruined by half at once, and now the Qi family is busy making up for it!" This marriage has been an invincible political means since ancient times, but the Qi family is not rich in heirs, and the family affairs of children and grandchildren are particularly important! Madam, think about it, where can our Xu family not be able to help the Qi family? For the Qi family, marrying our Xu family is dragging their family back, how can the Qi family be willing? ”

Everyone understands the truth, but people are like this, and if they don't meet their own psychological needs, they can't be trusted. The same is true for the Li family, it is true that what Xu Hui said is the truth, but this is just Xu Hui's personal speculation, but what if? What if it's not what Xu Hui thinks? And the Qi family also returned the gift last year? In other words, the Qi family is more or less interesting, at least it doesn't want to cut off contact with the Xu family, does it? Such a "what if" idea of stealing luck supported Li Shi to strengthen her inner obsession.

Li Shi sat aside with low eyebrows, and said for a long time before he said, "What the master said is, but the master can't be sure that the Qi family is really as the master thinks, isn't it?" What if the Qi family can't pull this face just because of their face? After all, it is a marriage that is related to the face of the first emperor, and the Qi family does not dare to play with it! ”

The Li family was still obsessed, Xu Hui sighed helplessly, and listened to the Li family again, "Of course, the concubine body is not all counting on the Qi family, and the concubine body has also made two preparations, it is naturally good that the Qi family can become a concubine, even if it is not a concubine, it has also picked a few alternative families, and the character and family affairs are superior, and they will not be wronged Sister Ting!" ”

Although they are all superior, they are naturally a little worse than the Qi family, after all, in terms of the Xu family's family, the people who are in charge of the family are also of a similar status to the Xu family, that is, even the Li family's maiden family.

It's all for Xu Ting...... Xu Hui felt sad for Xu Shu.

When did the Li family ever pay so much attention to Xu Shu? The marriage with the Rongguo Mansion that Li had in mind originally belonged to Xu Shu, but Li made the decision for her silently and gave it to Xu Ting, and Xu Shu could only acquiesce and never complained.

"Sister Shu'er told me yesterday that when the Shangyuan Festival is over, she will move to Zhuangzi to live, which is also close to Hanxi Temple, and it is cheaper to communicate with Master Miaofan!"

Li Shi was stunned, didn't say anything for a long time, she understood Xu Hui's words, Xu Shu is going to live in Zhuangzi for a long time, unlike last year, when she stayed for ten days and half a month and came back, she may not plan to come back in the future, is this the road she planned for the second half of her life?

"That'...... That old man...... You...... What do you mean? The increasingly estranged mother-daughter relationship with Xu Shu made Li's words very unconfident, and even weak-hearted.

"I promised!" Xu Hui closed his eyes and covered up the sadness and disappointment in his eyes, the Li family didn't even have the intention of saving half of it, too, in the Li family's heart, Xu Shu's second half of his life might be like this, the green lantern ancient Buddha, alone and old.

"She is not comfortable in the house, but it is good to go to Zhuangzi, pure and comfortable! I still remember the first time she went to live in Zhuangzi for a while, and when she came back, her face was much better, and her face has deteriorated recently! ”

Li couldn't help but show resentment, did Xu Hui mean that she had treated Xu Shu harshly? But seeing that Xu Hui didn't need her to say much, I was afraid that I thought that I was not good to Xu Shu, and I couldn't help but feel very wronged in my heart, and then thought about it again, and every dispute between her and Xu Hui was because of Xu Shu, and secretly said that she really gave birth to a "good" daughter, and she did everything to block herself, so she said angrily, "It's okay!" It's all according to the master's arrangement! Anyway, the concubine had already arranged everything over there last year, and it didn't hurt to live for ten years or eight years! ”

Xu Shu went to pursue her freedom by herself, she wanted to see if the Xu family would not be a home without Xu Shu?

Xu Hui sensed that the Li family was angry, and he didn't bother to persuade him, he and the Li family have been husband and wife for nearly 30 years, and he knows a little bit about the Li family's temperament, so if she wants to be angry for a while, let her go!

"I had to call back all the trivial things at home before, what can she do as a child to help? Just let her keep it in peace! Xu Hui admonished again.

Li Shi nodded fiercely with a dark face, "Okay!" "She is all about the Xu family, and there has never been a person like Xu Shu!
