Chapter Seventy-Seven: Wisdom

"Hey!" The old lady of the Lou family sighed. Let Xiaoru help her knead her shoulders vigorously, "Your aunt and I have had a good relationship since before, when we didn't marry into the Lou family, the two of us were close friends, after marrying, as a sister-in-law, she is lively and cheerful, likes to play, it can be said that she is much easier to get along with than other sisters-in-law...... I didn't expect to suffer such a big crime now......"

Xiaoru moved her mother-in-law's muscles and bones, mixed the medicinal liquid, poured hot water, let her mother-in-law soak her feet, and then sat down to listen to the old man talk about the ancients, although she came to discuss the problem of her cousin's fiancé Ji An at first, but she didn't expect that it suddenly aroused the old man's worries.

"When I married into the Lou family, I was two years older than Xiaoru and fifteen years old. It's also like a flower, at that time Lou Cheng was good, although the appearance was almost, but the personality was gentle, and I was considerate to me, the so-called young couples and old companions, I often thought, to find such a family, it is really my luck, after all, the sister-in-law is easy to get along with, although the father-in-law and mother-in-law are a little partial to the son, but for my daughter-in-law is not a nose and eyes, compared with other people's daughters-in-law, and even compared with my mother, I am much luckier. ”

Xiao Ru listened to it in her heart, just like Lou Cheng, he can still be a good one, not to mention, his appearance is not just almost, Xiao Ru looks at that face, how disgusting it looks, fortunately Lou Yi looks more like his mother-in-law, otherwise, we Xiaoru will have to ignore the etiquette and come back to Hugh......

In fact, Xiaoru is extreme, and Lou Cheng's appearance is indeed not very thoughtful. It's not particularly bad, it's generally just down, and it's nothing that a man looks bad, when he was young, I'm afraid it was more pleasing to the eye than now, but because Lou Cheng disgusted Xiaoru, everything about him was bad in Xiaoru's heart.

"At that time, the Lou family was also a rich and noble family in Yunnan, and there were a lot of maids and servants, so I took my sister-in-law to be a female celebrity on weekdays, telling jokes, raising flowers and plants, setting up rules in front of my in-laws, listening to teachings, and occasionally going out with Lou Cheng to worship the Buddha, which was the best and happiest time when I was young."

When Mrs. Lou said this, her eyes were peaceful and her expression was gentle, and she never wiped out her previous happiness because of the boundless pain behind.

Xiao Ru blinked. When she married into the Lou family, the Lou family had been defeated, and her mother-in-law was blind, she was busy trying to get food and medicinal materials every day, and she was tired and tired, and she had long forgotten the rules that her father asked for advice before she got married.

Now that the days are getting better and they are stable, Xiao Ru rubbed her lower lip, does she also have to learn from other people's daughters-in-law to set up rules, so thinking about it, Xiao Ru couldn't help but laugh secretly, between her and her mother-in-law, what do you want to do with those false courtesies, if your mother-in-law is eating, she stands and serves, and her mother-in-law will definitely not be able to eat steadily, can they be the same as ordinary people's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? In the past ten years of suffering together, Xiaoru feels that even if she is a little worse than Lou Yi's status in her mother-in-law's heart, it is not much worse.

"Hey, after so many years, everyone is old, it was originally time to enjoy the blessings of children and grandchildren, but I didn't expect your aunt to make it like this...... Xiaoru, you and Brother Xiaolou should help your cousin more. ”

Xiao Ru heard this. Hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Mother, don't worry, I'll go to my aunt and discuss with her." ”

The carriage was not moving fast, all the way leisurely, passing through the West Gate, Xiaoru looked at the pickers and hawkers who came and went, but her eyes couldn't help but be attracted by the white jade and gold lacquered archway.

On the white jade surface, carved with the emperor's imperial pen - 'three generations of loyalty, eighteen strong men', not to mention, the emperor Liu Shi's handwriting is good, upright and atmospheric, and a solemn face.

This memorial arch, is the founding of the country, the emperor for the first-class loyal and brave Li Xian set up, east of the capital, the green mountain of the whole 1,400 acres of land, all rewarded Li family, can be said to be more honored than the general from the dragon heroes, at that time, the emperor had wanted to personally decree - under the archway, the civil official sedan chair, the military attache dismounted. This kind of treatment is rare in ancient times, but I have to say that the founding heroes of the Great Xia Dynasty are much smarter than the ancient marquis I heard of in my time.

Li Xian personally went to their Li family only to fulfill his duty, and he did not deserve this honor, because Li Xian was too resolute and sincere, and the emperor's will was never issued after all. However, since then, he has loved the Li family even more, and now, after Li Xian has died, the remaining descendants of the Li family have actually all got the emperor's blue eyes, and the court is more important, and there are many descendants of the Li family.

Enough to be low-key, it is Li Xian's cleverness, thinking that the Li family is for the Liu family's country, a family of old and young, almost dead and wounded, a few who survived, and many of them were physically injured, Liu Shi's eighteen heroes are imaginary, which means that the Li family is full of strong men, this is not too exaggerated, the Li family really spared no expense for the Liu family's country, and almost all the adult children died on the battlefield.

With his merits, he can enjoy higher glory, but there are not many children left of the Li family, if he is in the limelight again and arouses the jealousy of the Manchu Dynasty, maybe there will be some villains who are popular, and secretly make it bad, at the beginning, the emperor may hinder Li Xian's face, it won't be good, and he will be honored and favored by the Li family, but when can the emperor's favor come? Wait until after Li Xian's death. His descendants, I'm afraid there is no good fruit to eat, and now the Li family is fully low-key, and they don't mention their credit at all, but this credit is not that they don't mention it, and the emperor doesn't remember it, it's really a face, all of them have it, and the royal family will feel a little guilty about him.

Xiaoru smiled, this Li Xian's cleverness is probably no less than that of his own Gongsun old man, however, the old man is easier than him, there are not many people in the Gongsun family, the old man's direct family, now there is no one left, his wife died early, he has never renewed, and there are no heirs, those who hang the name of the Gongsun family and play the old man's signboard are all relatives who have come out of the five suits, so as long as he is a little low-key, the emperor will suspect anyone, and he will not suspect his head, safety!

"Young lady, it's here."

Jiang Tian arrived at the door of the Wang family familiarly, Xiao Ru's aunt was already waiting at the door, Xiao Ru hurriedly got out of the car and gave Jiang Angel a look, Jiang Tian followed the guidance of the Wang family's subordinates to stop the carriage.

Following her aunt's footsteps and slowly walking down the path, Xiaoru sighed and asked in a low voice, "How is my cousin?" ”

Mrs. Wang's eyes were hot, and she almost burst into tears: "My body has recovered a little, but it's still not good, hey, my poor child!" ”
