The second wife, Li, hugged He Ningyu and cried, and they both felt better. The two of them were in the house, and they did not call anyone to come in to serve, but went to the clean room and scooped up a basin of cold water, and re-evened their faces and put on makeup.
He Ningyu hurriedly took out the rose rouge paste he got from the lobby sister He Ningxin, and put some rouge on Li's cheeks. Lee's slightly pale face immediately flushed and lived.
Li Shi looked in the mirror and saw that Shaohua was no longer there, and he was also emotional, and he was heartfelt to He Ningyu, and said to Yu'er, your mother wants to do everything possible to envelop your lobby sister He Ningxin? β
He Ningyu nodded, and shook his head again, as if he understood or not.
Li and He Ningyu sat side by side on the warm kang, stretched out their hands and took He Ningyu in their arms, and whispered to her that your eldest aunt is a shrewd person. Most of the He family's wealth was moved back to her parents' house and made a private house. Your grandmother is a fool, she only thinks about your aunt's goodness, and she doesn't dare to take out her mother-in-law's money to say a few words to her, only let your aunt cover the sky with one hand. β
"Your father doesn't have any income, and your mother and I don't have a dowry. Where is our home now relying on a big house? - We rely on your aunt. Your aunt is too shrewd, and she gave her a stupid daughter. I don't wrap her around, where do you get these brocade clothes to wear? And these red gold hairpins to wear? β
He Ningyu stretched out his hand and pulled out the hairpin on his head, looked at it again and again, and was reluctant to throw it away, so he slowly inserted it again.
Li helped her find a good position on the hairpin in the bun, plugged it upright, and said to your mother, but you are young and not in the world. As women, we have a hard life. If the mother's family has no power and no money, life is really difficult. Your grandfather's house is a ready-made example. β
"Your aunts, all of them are like flowers, and they are many times better looking than your eldest aunt, but because your grandfather's family is thin, when several girls get married, they have no dowry, and they don't marry into good families. Your Aunt Nie was the best married that day, and if your uncle hadn't died early, I would have given you to your aunt's family to do it, and it wouldn't be impossible. But now that your Aunt Nie's family has no pillars, and your cousin is an unsuccessful person, such a family will never be able to marry. β
He Ningyu heard his mother say, Aunt Nie's family is not a good family, she can't get married, she can't help but pout, and she is unwilling to say I heard my mother often tell the lobby sister that Nie's family is so good that it is a good mother-in-law. β
Seeing that He Ningyu was still naΓ―ve and ignorant, Li was angry and funny, and said that your Aunt Nie's house is of course a good mother-in-law to your lobby sister. Your lobby sister is different from you, the big house has a thick family background, even if it leaks out of your aunt's fingers, it is enough for your Aunt Nie's family to eat for a lifetime. A girl with a dowry will not suffer no matter which family she marries into. β
Touching He Ningyu's head with pity, Li continued But you are different. Your father has no fame so far, he is honest, and our family does not have a decent dowry for you. If you marry into your Aunt Nie's family, you will only starve to death as a family. You are my pampered daughter in the palm of my hand, will you suffer this kind of hardship? - It's still a noble family like the Zhenguo Mansion that suits you. β
As soon as He Ningyu thought of Jian Feiyang's appearance, he felt scared, and muttered and said I still think my cousin is ......"
Li Shi tapped He Ningyu's forehead with his finger, and said angrily, just your cousin. You don't want to think about it, if you follow your cousin, you will only have coarse tea and light meals and cloth and plain skirts every day in the future. I also have to take care of the housework, and maybe even ask you to work day and night to support the family. You say, "Did you do it?"
Pulling Lahe Ningyu's brocade short skirt and green lambskin eight-piece Hunan skirt, Li Shi went on to say You can no longer afford to wear such a dress. Your jewelry may have to go to a pawnshop to subsidize your family. - Can you really live a life like this? β
A sentence made He Ningyu stunned.
"Your lobby sister is pampered at home, and when she comes out of the cabinet in the future, she is also a first-class national prince. From then on, she became a cloud in the sky, and you became mud in the earth. is also the daughter of the He family, she is not as good as she looks, she is not as good as you, she is not as smart as you, but she is a little bit of shit luck, and you are willing to be compared to your lobby sister for the rest of your life? - Not only will you be compared to her, but even your children and grandchildren will be compared to her for generations? Seeing that He Ningyu was a little loose, Suo Xìng added another handful of firewood.
He Ningyu finally couldn't resist it, and looked at Li timidly and asked, It won't be so miserable, right?
The Li family didn't want He Ningyu to continue to be obsessed. She is afraid of being poor in this life, and she must not let her daughter follow in her footsteps and marry a useless man.
"I haven't said anything worse, do you want to hear it? - Trying to hear me more carefully. Li said with a smile.
He Ningyu grinned reluctantly, didn't say any more, and lowered his head to think about his thoughts.
Li patted her on the shoulder and said softly, "Mother is for your own good, and it will definitely not hurt you." Do as my mother says, after today, your life's wealth and glory are just around the corner. And your cousin's family can also live a good life. - Where to find such a good thing that kills two birds with one stone and the best of both worlds? β
He Ningyu bit his lip and thought for a long time before he mustered up the courage and said, Then I'll try again. Mother said, let me do it? β
Li leaned over with a smile and confessed a sentence in He Ningyu's ear.
He Ningyu nodded while listening, blushing a little, and asked if Grandpa Guo would believe it
Li Shi confidently said, I brought a letter to your cousin Nie. This time, as long as Grandpa Guo sees it with his own eyes, he will definitely die. Your eldest uncle doesn't have the face to marry his daughter to him again. β
He Ningyu thought about it for a while, and said that if Grandpa Guo was angry, he directly retired and did it himself? β
Li Shi covered his mouth with a handkerchief and giggled, saying that he was really a child, and he was talking nonsense. - This Jian family owes our He family a great favor, and Grandpa Guo will definitely marry the girl of the He family. At that time, you will be the only one of the He family's concubines who can marry. I'll ask your father to beg your uncle again, and it will definitely be done. Besides, you are not many times more beautiful than He Ningxin, and Grandpa Guo is not blind, and he will definitely push the boat with the current. β
He Ningyu was a little apprehensive in his heart, and he always felt that it would not be so smooth, but he couldn't think of anything to refute his mother's words. She was already a little soft-eared, and after being persuaded a few times, she responded. He called the incense sticks in again and asked Li to follow the incense sticks alone.
He Ningyu went to the clean room to freshen up, regardless of the steep spring cold, he deliberately took off the green lambskin skirt and replaced it with a light ribbed finch spring skirt with a branch horse.
In the middle of the morning (eight o'clock in the morning), according to Li's instructions last night, it was the time when Nie Wei should be. But when the hour was over, there was still no sign of him.
The Li family waited for another half an hour before sending a mother-in-law to Nie's house to find Nie Wei. The mother-in-law replied and said that the young master went out early in the morning, and there was no one at home.
Li Shi calculated everything, but he didn't think that Nie Wei still didn't cooperate, and he was in a hurry for a while.
The incense sticks are also extremely nervous. Her life's glory and wealth are also here. Seeing that the Li family was in a hurry in the house, and it was not easy to talk to others, Xiangzhi gritted his teeth, stepped forward and said Mrs., the slave has a way. β
Li Shi turned around and saw the incense branch, and the right eyebrow jumped slightly, "Say." β
Xiangzhi hurriedly walked, leaned over to Li's ear, and said softly that last time the eldest girl went to the pond in the back garden as promised, the slave maid had a way, let the eldest girl go again......"
Li Shi looked the incense branch up and down, raised his eyebrows and asked, even if she went, no one would do it? - Can you still stop her? β
Xiangzhi smiled, the Taoist slave couldn't stop it, but God would stop it. β
Seeing that Xiangzhi was confident, Li thought about it again and again, and finally made up his mind, saying that you want to lead the eldest girl to the pond in the back garden, and you don't care about the rest of the matter. When someone brings it, you leave immediately, and don't let people see you with the big girl. β
Xiangzhi's eyes flickered, and he bowed on his knees and answered "yes".
After a while, a mother-in-law placed by the Li family on the second gate sent a letter, saying that Grandpa Guo was here, first went to Xu's courtyard, and then went to Suiyun Pavilion, waiting for the eldest girl.
The Li family hurriedly went to He Ningyu's house, asked her to go to Suiyun Pavilion quickly, and stopped Grandpa Guo to talk for a while. Wait for the incense branch to report the news, and then take Grandpa Guo to the pond in the back garden to watch the show.
He Ningyu mustered up his courage and took a few maids and women to Suiyun Pavilion.
Jian Feiyang stood there with his back to the road alone, looking at the flower bed in front of the pavilion, standing there motionless. The majestic back of the Yuan Yue Zhi is very calm and reliable.
He Ningyu looked at Jian Feiyang's back, remembered the generations of the Jian family, and was confused for a while, so he asked the maid to wait in the distance, and walked to the pavilion alone.
"Grandpa Guo, I won't come." He Ningyu walked up the steps of Suiyun Pavilion with a worried face, and said softly to Jian Feiyang, the prince of Zhenguo, who was standing in the pavilion with his back to her.
Jian Feiyang turned around and glanced at her, then turned his head again, continued to look at the flower garden in front of the pavilion, and said in a deep voice, You go. I didn't wait for you. β
He Ningyu stopped awkwardly at the steps of Suiyun Pavilion, neither advancing nor retreating.
"Grandpa Guo, you're not, I'm busy right now." He Ningyu remembered what his mother said just now, and said hesitantly.
Seeing that Jian Feiyang was still indifferent, with his back to her, and he didn't even turn around to look at her, He Ningyu was a little unwilling, so he asked Grandpa Guo really doesn't want me to be busy? β
Jian Feiyang sneered, looked at the flower garden opposite, and said loudly Behind the scenes, it was not a gentleman's doing. Even if He Er is not a gentleman, don't be a villain and do it so blatantly, okay? β
He Ningyu's face turned red, so he had to put his face down, regardless of whether you are or not, as long as my cousin Nie comes, I will ......"
Before the words fell, Jian Feiyang turned around and raised his hand, the long sword was unsheathed, and like lightning, a long sword with a cold light like water was placed on the side of He Ningyu's neck.
"If you mess up and ruin your reputation, don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword," Jian Feiyang scolded sharply.
