304 Extraordinary
"Madam, the letter from the eldest young master has returned." Mama Liu opened the curtain with a loving smile and came in from outside, handing the letter in her hand to the joyful Sun. "I guess the eldest young master and the second young master are coming back."
"When Mom said that, I thought the same. Yu'er has never spent the New Year outside, this time he will definitely come back, Sheng'er loves Yu'er so much, he will definitely come back. "Since the two brothers Li Sheng and Li Yu left home, although part of Sun's mental strength has been on Li Xu, who has just been a full moon, but compared to Li Yu, who has not left home so far, Sun's worry all day long, for fear that the two children will not be comfortable outside. At this time, I read the letter hastily, and then put my heart down. With a happy face, he said to Mama Liu: "The two of them are coming back, and the letter said that if there is no delay, they will be almost home by the twentieth day of the lunar month." Consider that both of them have been out for more than a month. Sun said with a lamented sigh.
"Madame, this is a good thing, sigh what. The two young masters are coming back, and it seems that it is still quite far from Shangjing to us, so we have to prepare well, and the clothes and bedding for this winter will have to be re-purchased. No matter how good it is outside, it's better at home. Mama Liu was about to go out as she said this, and Sun called out to her, "Mama still has time, how can you worry more than me." Don't go out, just rest here. ”
The relationship between Sun and Mama Liu has always been close, and Mama Liu was originally Sun's nurse, and the two were like mother and daughter. When the Sun family got married, Mama Liu also followed a lot. Sun's two children were also raised by Mama Liu, and when Mama Liu was older, Sun didn't want her to be tired, so he wanted to let her go out to be raised. Moreover, Mama Liu's son and daughter-in-law are all filial, and they have repeatedly asked for it. Mama Liu couldn't survive her son's grandson's request and was taken out by her son, but later Mama Liu's wife went, and Mama Liu fell seriously ill. Later, he was also worried about Sun, so he came back and continued to serve by Sun's side. So even Li Sheng and Li Yu have a lot of respect for her.
Mama Liu smiled and sat beside Sun, "It's all the old woman who is anxious, this second young master has been gone for so long, and the old woman is worried, and she didn't let the maids follow at that time, I'm afraid that Zhou Rui is also not thoughtful." Alas.."
"Yes, when it comes to this, I'm still worried about Sheng'er's family affairs. Although this marriage is a 'covenant between parents and a matchmaker', I am not willing to impose it on Sheng'er. What's more, our family doesn't need any marriage to expand, and at this time, Yu'er has become a special honorable thing. So I thought that as long as the other party's girl has an innocent family background and is worthy of our family's Sheng'er, as long as she passes the master's level, it is easy to say. "Sun's worry is not this, since Li Sheng reached the age of marriage, the matchmaker has almost stepped on the threshold of the Li family, the Sun family originally liked the daughter of the Wang family in the same city, the Wang family is a scholarly family, and the daughter of the Wang family is well-read and courteous, and her appearance is also the best. But Li Sheng was stunned and disagreed, and the Sun family had no choice but to delay the marriage again and again, and now Li Sheng is over twenty years old, but there is not even a girl in the room. But no, Sun also assigned a girl to his room, but in the end he was just a maid. "Sheng'er's stubborn temper doesn't know who to follow, and now he can't even look down on the delicate cousins of his uncle's family, alas.." In fact, Sun still thinks that his son is good at home, not because his son has a high vision, but because those girls can't get into his son's eyes.
"Madame, is Miss Cousin? According to the old woman, since there is no eye-catching young master in Gusu City, why don't you take a look at the girls in other places? Mama Liu said with relief.
"A place next to it? That's what I said, but I can't do it if I fall in love, the key is that he can agree. No, even my father has urged him in the past two years, saying that he wants to see his great-grandson as soon as possible. Alas, I still want to hold my grandson. When the time comes, wouldn't it be beautiful to tease Sun. Sun's eldest maid, Zijuan, came in with a rose-style carved lacquer small tea tray, with two cups of tea in it, and said with a smile: "Madame and Mama have been talking for a long time, and they will also drink tea to moisten their mouths." ”
Sun smiled at Mama Liu and said, "It can be seen that my purple juan is good, and Baba sent tea." As he spoke, he put the small stove in his hand on the tea table and took the tea brought by Zijuan.
Mama Liu knocked on Zijuan's head, "This little girl.."
"Mama, why is it like this, why did I knock on my head when I kindly came to bring you tea. If you knock stupidly, who will serve Madame! Zijuan pretended to be pitiful, which made both Sun and Mama Liu laugh.
After a while, Mama Liu said, "Madam, that aunt Fang has been quite honest recently, and she didn't come to be angry with Madame." ”
"Mom said what she did, can she still be honest, I think she is hit hard. It's that Rong'er, she doesn't take care of it, speaking of which, Rong'er is not spoiled by her, even if she is a concubine, if she marries out, she will lose it, but we are from the Li Mansion, and people may put the responsibility on me, who is a mother-in-law, so I don't want to accept the insult in vain. "Even if the Sun family is knowledgeable and courteous, the eldest lady from the scholarly family, but this own child and other people's children must not be compared. Even Li Xu, who was raised by Sun's side, was only favored by Sun's family, after all, Li Xu's biological mother had a difficult birth when he was born, otherwise Sun would not want to bear it.
Mama Liu nodded again and again, "Listening to the two grandmothers, Miss Rong'er has been much more honest recently, but what do you think of Miss Rong'er's family affairs?" But the lord said let you decide. ”
"Huh, let me decide? If the person I decide is looked down upon by that aunt, I don't know how to arrange me at that time. How is it possible to be a concubine and still want to be treated as a concubine? But I'm not in a hurry about this matter, and I'll wait until Sheng'er's family matter is resolved. Although Sun knew the inside story, she couldn't tolerate someone climbing on top of her son. And in this inner house, you should know your identity, don't think about looking at the pot in the bowl, and do things other than your identity. This aunt's heart is too big, even if the master is not the kind of person who spoils his concubine and kills his wife, even if he is, let's see if she will tolerate it. Sun rubbed his eyebrows, and at this time, the maid outside came in and reported, "Madam, the third uncle's wife has sent a post to ask Madame to go to the house to enjoy the flowers." ”
"Oh, that's fine, since it's okay, let's go for it." Sun read the post, pondered for a while, and said. Zijuan helped Sun to change his clothes, which was very different from the simple and elegant clothes decoration on weekdays, and when he came out again, Sun was still dressed up. Dressed in a rose purple two-gold engraved silk knee-length narrow sleeve placket, a jade-colored dark white orchid pattern middle shirt, and on the buckle under the chin is an orchid-shaped buckle with red gems the size of a fingernail and other broken gems as supplements. Violet plum blossom embroidered horse-faced skirt, the whole plum blossom, the knot is vigorous, from the lower left corner of the skirt, winding up, accounting for a full third of the skirt.
The head is tied in a high bun, and a large red gold jade-inlaid butterfly grate is inserted in the middle. The butterfly spreads its wings and is set with various colored gemstones. The tentacles and wings trembled slightly with Jia Min's movements, making the gems on them even more dazzling. The delicate three-dimensional red gold multicolored butterfly press on the back of the head echoes with the comb in front of the hair. The dew and pearls are wiped with gold, exquisite, and the garnets surround the oval jade beads in the middle, and there is the potential of the stars and the moon. There is a red emerald dripping bead crested hairpin on the sideburns, and the plum blossom pendant made of rubies in the ears and the droplet-shaped red emerald hanging down complement each other. A string of jade bracelets on the wrist, the jade Buddha head of the bracelet is connected, and red coral beads are worn underneath. With an emerald ring the size of a pigeon's egg on her hand, Sun's grace and nobility are more and more lined with her dress, different from her elegance and brilliance, and it is impossible to see that Sun is still the mother of two sons, and the eldest son is still twenty years old.
"Madame is dressed like this, if the master sees it, he will definitely not be able to wipe his eyes. Even when I looked at it, I felt that Madame's demeanor was elegant, which could not be compared with others. Zijuan said that the other person is not the aunt of the house, she is the big girl next to the Sun family, the deep reliance of the Sun family, and she is also a smart person who can guess things from the relationship between the lady and the master, so on the one hand, she looks down on the aunt Fang, and on the other hand, she feels that the aunt is a little sad. Zijuan carefully straightened the delicate three-dimensional red gold multicolored butterfly on Zhengsun's head, and said.
"You can talk sweetly, I'm old!" Sun looked at the face in the mirror, remembering the tenderness and sweetness with the lord when he first got married, but the world is impermanent, although the lord and her are still in love, but not those concubines were born. But she should also be satisfied, she has a filial and sensible son.
"Miss, don't say that, I think when Miss was born, her eyebrows were picturesque, and she was a beauty on the top. Growing up, that's the demeanor of Miss Shang that no one can match. Mama Liu said with memories, this is true, when Sun's personality was hearty and generous, his mouth was sweet as if he was smeared with honey, and he was very clever and pleasing. It is very loved by the old Tanhua, and the Sun family spent a lot of effort to teach Sun Yanshi at home, so that Sun can read and write. Although it is not said that he is extremely proficient in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, it is excellent. And he was taught by his grandmother who came out of the palace, which is even more extraordinary. What's more, the old Tanhua likes it, and the man who is full of it has been taught, naturally the style is different from others, even if it is married and has children, the charm is the longer the fragrance, and every movement is solemn and elegant.
