(shortcutβ) (shortcutβ)
The small courtyard of the Liu family looked exceptionally clean under the washing of the autumn rain, and there were two large pots of flowers in front of the main hall with a white curtain of red drunken hibiscus, and the rain was wet and red, Lin Saiyu walked up the steps quickly with her skirt and tiptoe, and she couldn't care about the panting of Ying'er who was holding an umbrella behind her.
"I'm thirsty, I'm thirsty, I'll drink water first." Lin Saiyu opened the curtain and almost jumped in, went straight to the table and picked up a bowl of tea to eat, Liu saw it on the side and shouted: "It's cold, I can't drink it." β
Lin Saiyu took a few mouthfuls earlier, suppressed the hot pain in her throat, and smiled at Liu: "My mother still feels sorry for me." β
Liu's face pulled, picked up the upper of the bed and lowered his head to do it, no longer looked at her, these days their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stiffened again, the reason is that Liu took advantage of Lin Saiyu's busy days, and bought a few handmaidens from the flower seller on the street, Lin Saiyu came home after a day of shopping in the grain market, and saw four little ladies standing in the house, where could she not be frightened.
"Mother, is this a relative of our family?" Lindsay asked with wide eyes.
Liu glanced at her, and hurriedly asked those delicate women to call Mrs. Lindsay Yu, while saying: "Our relatives are all dead, where to pick out these handsome children." β
When the four women heard this, they rushed to Lin Saiyu one after another, calling Mrs. with a shy smile, so frightened that Lin Saiyu hurriedly waved her hand to drive them away, and listened to Liu's words: "There is only one envoy at home, and I can't be busy serving me, so I bought you a few people in the house, and you are a lady of a six-grade master, and you are a lady of a six-grade master, and you still roll up your sleeves to wash and cook." β
Lin Saiyu immediately lowered her mouth when she heard this, and saw that the women were about eighteen or nineteen years old, all of them had eyebrows like willow leaves, faces like peach blossoms, eyes with amorous eyes, slender waist and plump buttocks, it can be seen that Liu's family is not a loss from a high family and a deep household, and knows what kind of woman can please men, and can give birth.
Fortunately, I haven't learned those rules in vain these days, so I endured it for a long time, showed a smiling face, and said, "Mother is thoughtful." β
Liu glanced at her, and muttered in his heart, saying this with such an expression was fake and gave people goosebumps, but the daughter-in-law finally didn't make trouble on the spot, it can be seen that she was still trained, so she didn't care about Lindsayyu's inconsistency, and smiled and let Lindsay Yu take it away, leaving Ying'er to accompany her.
That night, Liu Xiaohu rarely came back early, and when he entered the house, he saw two strange women standing next to Liu's who looked like maids but not like maids, and he was also startled, and blurted out that our relatives came? made Lin Saiyu, who had a tense face, laugh, Liu didn't expect his son to be so incomprehensible, glared at him and didn't speak, the two women were trained, and immediately stepped forward to undress and change Liu Xiaohu's clothes, so frightened that Liu Xiaohu avoided a few steps, and laughed so much that Lin Saiyu stood behind Liu and covered his mouth.
When it was time to eat, I saw that there was wine and food on the table, not as simple and light as in the past, Liu felt that it was the daughter-in-law who was going to congratulate Liu Xiaohu on the congratulations made by the people in the room, and he was happy and naturally did not ask, Liu Xiaohu felt that the lady had worked hard these days, of course, she had to be rewarded, so the family happily raised the spoon to eat, and a mouthful of food was sandwiched into the mouth, Liu and Liu Xiaohu's faces were a little ugly, but seeing that Lin Saiyu did not chew slowly without the slightest inappropriateness, the two had to swallow.
The lady was really tired, her craftsmanship was so bad overnight, Liu Xiaohu glanced at Lin Saiyu with emotion and pity, and drank a big mouthful of soup with determination, and swallowed it with a strange taste.
It seems that the daughter-in-law just knows how to make those coarse food materials, and the craftsmanship of making these good wine and good dishes is not good, Liu sighed and wanted to encourage, but he really couldn't swallow the dishes in front of him that obviously put too much oil, and he couldn't bear it, and said: "Daughter-in-law, our family can't compare to others, and the food is still simpler." β
Lin Saiyu hurriedly stood up, apologized and asked Ying'er to call the cook up, listening to the old lady's instructions, and the Liu family and Liu Xiaohu were stunned.
"Our family has a cook?" Liu Xiaohu asked, while forcibly not spitting out what he had just eaten, such a cook can't stay, wouldn't she die after eating for a long time?
Liu saw the woman in front of him with her head wrapped, her skirt tied, her face blackened, and her hands broken, and she couldn't recognize that she was the little lady she liked the most when she bought it, and the little lady stood in place with a look of grievance, almost sobbing and crying, so that the two people standing behind Liu recited a few Buddhas in their hearts, fortunately, it was not himself who was sent to cook, so he was seen by the man, and he was not interested in pulling into bed for the rest of his life.
"Daughter-in-law!" Liu didn't understand Lin Saiyu's trick, and threw the dishes and chopsticks hard.
Lin Saiyu and Liu Xiaohu both stood up and bowed their heads to ask their mothers to calm their anger.
"Mother, you didn't say that you wouldn't let your daughter-in-law do the laundry and cook, and your mother didn't say which one could cook, I asked, she said yes, I let her go, if it's wrong, my mother will tell you again, let's change it again." Lin Saiyu said with innocent eyes, glared at the woman, and said aggrievedly: "This eldest sister, how can you coax me?" β
Liu was choked by her words, and when he opened his mouth, he was about to provoke Liu Xiaohu to accept the house, Liu Xiaohu had already taken the lead and said, "Mother, should you have been deceived by Yayu?" Where do these people look like at all? It's weird and frivolous," said this, lowered his face and glared at the three of them, and said, "Where are you from?" But good people? β
By her question, the three women knelt down busily, trembling and didn't dare to speak, Liu was bluffed, she could tell the mother-in-law who sold flowers, she wanted an innocent girl from a civilian family, could it be that these people really came from the wrong way? I was anxious for a while, pounding the table and asking, those women are really good people, but they came out to be female envoys when they were young, and now they are already very slippery, what Liu wants is a girl who has been kept at home and has never been out of the house, where do you want this, suddenly ashamed and angry, and they want to settle accounts with the mother-in-law, the little couple said good things for a long time, only said that the mother cared about them before they were disturbed, and the words of those tooth women and nurses could not listen to the clouds, Liu was happy to be said, and pulled Lin Saiyu to make the words clear, saying that their Liu family is thin, There is only one Erlang left in this generation, as the daughter-in-law of the Liu family, she must focus on incense, and she is not allowed to make the woman's petty temperament sour and jealous, and now Erlang is also famous, you should also be concerned about picking a few good concubines for him, and said that Erlang is looking for a bastard wife outside, Erlang and Lindsay Yu both bowed their heads and said yes.
"Daughter-in-law, don't worry, even if there are a few, no one will pass you." At the end of the Liu family, he took Lin Saiyu's hand and comforted him, looked at Lin Saiyu and smiled, and said, "I know." She also seemed to be infected by a trace of sadness that Lin Saiyu tried her best to hide, and her heart was unconsciously a little sour, sighed, and said, "Whoever is a daughter-in-law comes here like this." β
Although the words are so clear, Lin Saiyu doesn't care, what to do and what to do, and Liu Xiaohu is busy with foreign affairs and doesn't care about family affairs at all, Liu's concubine who can't look forward to his heart, is anxious to talk to Lindsayyu, Lindsay Yu shirked haha, Liu understood, pounding the table and scolding was deceived, I knew that it was a rude little woman, and the scolded Lindsay Yu was also annoyed, staring wide-eyed and throwing out a sentence, my mother dislikes me? Why don't I go back, the choked Liu didn't speak for a long time, she didn't dare to let people poke the backbone and say that their Liu family disliked the wife of the chaff, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were annoyed, and no one talked to anyone when they met.
"Mother," Lin Saiyu sighed and sat opposite Liu, "The daughter-in-law doesn't treat you as an outsider, she doesn't want to hide it, she flatters you on her face, scolds you in her heart, and the daughter-in-law just wants to serve her mother clearly, her mother doesn't have to suspect her daughter-in-law's thoughts, and her daughter-in-law doesn't have to touch her mother's joy and anger, her daughter-in-law is indeed unhappy, and her mother should complain about me." β
When she said this, Liu remembered the days when she was a daughter-in-law, and sighed and said, "Daughter-in-law, my mother is also a woman, why don't you understand?" Anyway, my mother doesn't force you, you can do it yourself. β
Lin Saiyu smiled, threw herself into Liu's arms, only said thank you, Liu smiled and pushed her, busy taking the needle and thread aside, and carefully pierced her, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, wearing green and red satin to Ah Yuan, who was wearing a shirt, lifted the curtain and came in, looking at their appearance, pouting, putting the soup cup in his hand, and said: "Is it such a temperament, in the past, I used to look like it on the outside, with a face inside and outside, and Mrs. is not tired?" β
Lin Saiyu knew her temperament, and she was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Tired, how can you not be tired?" But if I don't hold it, I'm afraid that my sister won't want to go out with me, and I won't dare to go to those banquets alone. β
Ah Yuan's face turned red, and he couldn't help but laugh, so he said, "It's for me." β
Lin Saiyu laughed even more, and said with a wink: "Speaking of which, you are the teacher I invited, and you are not a slave of our family, my aunt entrusted you to us, counting on a good marriage waiting for you, if I go out and lose face, wouldn't it be tiring my sister's reputation and ruining your good marriage, I will be guilty of too much." β
It turned out that Shen Kuo did not deviate from the course of history, at the end of October, he was demoted to Xuanzhou by the emperor's decree, and the family went with him, but Zhang personally came to the door to send Ah Yuan over, saying that this child was born in Tianjing City, is an excellent child, and is raised as a daughter every day, and is not young anymore, and does not want to delay her.
If it is such a peugeot little maid from someone else's family, it is rare and a good body, Liu must be happy to accept it, not only accept it but also let Erlang accept it as a concubine for a while, but this is Zhang's people, Liu's hiding is too late, I am afraid that I will teach my daughter-in-law badly, but I can't return to other people's entrustment, after all, I have just been demoted to an official, and I refused other people's requests, which is too ugly, not to mention that she didn't mean that, so she had to accept it, and didn't dare to let her follow Lindsay Yu, only to stay by her side to serve, observe for a while, Now this little girl can say that she can be polite and polite, and she has done a good job of being a female celebrity, Liu is very happy, and the words reveal the meaning of Xu to Erlang, but she was replied by A Yuan with a gun and a stick, and the words and actions really carried a little momentum of Zhang's, which scared Liu to rest his mind.
Ah Yuan was not as shy and timid as other girls, but said generously: "That's right, Madame sees what she likes, don't make your own opinion, I have to see it myself." β
Liu's face turned white and he shouted: "Shameless child, this is also what a woman's family can say." β
Ah Yuan snorted and stopped talking, put a few invitations in front of Liu, and said, "This is sent today, please invite the old lady and the lady to the banquet." β
Lin Saiyu wrinkled his face when he heard this, in this busy period, Lin Saiyu also started normal social activities as a wife, Liu Xiaohu was highly regarded by the emperor, coupled with Wang Anshi's departure from Beijing, the power of the old party rose sharply, and Liu Xiaohu was favored by Sima Xianggong, and now it is hot in Beijing, so the tide rises, and Lindsay Yu, as his wife, naturally rises sharply.
"The family has a total of this bit of silver, and it costs a lot to silt the fields, and it is calculated that there will be a party every three days, and now it is like this, and I am afraid of more entertainment in the first month." Lin Saiyu sighed and said, the most important thing is that those socials are boring.
"Madame is joking, but I just sent some handkerchiefs and uppers, and I don't have much money." Ah Yuan said on the side, "I eat and live here, and I don't need you to pay for making some uppers." β
Lin Saiyu was choked and said, "Then there is money for clothes, according to what I said, I can make one, I have to make three or four sets." β
Liu Shi smiled and said, "Daughter-in-law, Ah Yuan's clothes are well chosen, and they really look good when they are worn." β
Lindsay Yu muttered that it was all money, and deliberately said to Liu: "Mother, it's just that the clothes are good-looking?" Daughter-in-law is not good-looking? The room full of people laughed.
Waiting for Liu to lie down, when Lin Saiyu retired, he walked to the door and listened to Liu's slow words: "Daughter-in-law, although I want you to let you raise a child first and then talk about Erlang's room, but now you have a round house for a year." β
Lindsay Yu's heart chuckled as the door closed, and she didn't dare to reply, she only felt that the night breeze blew and her body was cold, has it been a year?
It was night, the clouds collected and the rain dispersed, leaning in front of Liu Xiaohu who was sleeping deeply, Lin Saiyu finally tossed and turned, listening to the wind whistling outside and rolling around, couldn't help but push Liu Xiaohu, and said in a low voice: "Are there people watching those greenhouses?" Don't let the wind blow. β
Liu Xiaohu replied in a daze in his sleep: "I see, I see...... Lady, don't worry about it......" Lin Saiyu tightened in his arms, hummed twice and fell asleep again.
Lin Saiyu was not very comfortable being hugged by him, broke away from his hand with a smile, and said in a low voice: "Stinky, don't wash it, don't be next to me." β
Liu Xiaohu seemed to notice that the person in his arms was gone, muttered a few words, reached out and touched it, hugged it in front of him and refused to let go, and whispered: "Lady...... You have peace of mind...... I don't want to ...... those people."
Lin Saiyu listened to the heat in her heart, and couldn't help but drill into his arms, and reached out to hold his thinner waist and fell asleep.
