Mama Xiong opened the curtain and came in, standing two or three steps away from the kang and looking at Li Tian, Li Tian nodded her hand and instructed her to sit, Mama Xiong sat sideways on the edge of the kang, sighed without speaking, Yingluo handed a cup of tea to Li Tian, looked at Mama Xiong, and then looked at Li Tian, wanted to persuade but didn't know where to start first.

Mama Xiong sighed again and said: "Don't be sad about the five ladies, there are many good people in the capital, Mama will go to inquire about the right people tomorrow, the five ladies have such a good character and talent, and they are afraid that they will not be able to find a good family?" ”

"Mama, if it weren't for the fact that these people from the Wenguo Mansion were bent on plotting against us, we wouldn't be looking for it high, we wouldn't be afraid of finding a suitable one, but now in such a situation, this pro will retreat again" Li Tian rubbed her forehead irritably and couldn't go on, she was simply a piece ......of fat, she originally had a master, but now she fell into the hungry wolves with a 'snap'! This time, I'm afraid it's not just the Wenguo Mansion that is reaching out.

"How's Mama Xiao doing?" Li Tian turned the conversation and asked, Mama Xiong nodded hurriedly and said: "Don't worry, the fifth lady, not only Mama Xiao, but also a big girl in the eldest lady's house, and a confidant mother-in-law have also made arrangements, but if there is a matter of closing the fifth lady, the words have been delivered to me in time." ”

"That's good," Li Tian breathed a sigh of relief, she is an orphan girl, as soon as her grandmother leaves, the serious elders are Yongguo Gong and Mrs. Yang, if someone proposes to her, it is Princess Jiang Jun who will mention it, she also has to mention Yongguo Gong and Mrs. Yang first, Yongguo Gong is soaked in wine every day, don't pay attention to him, as long as you are optimistic about Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Yang's level is very important.

"The fifth lady is blessed with a great life, and she will definitely be able to survive this period of time, and she will find a good marriage smoothly, and everything will go well in the future." Yingluo comforted, and Li Tian let out a long sigh: "Thank you for auspicious words, you and Qingzhi should pay more attention to the house for a while, and Mama should free up your hands to pay attention to the suitable people outside." ”

"Yes!" Yingluo promised heavily, Li Tian took a deep breath, his upper body was straight, his fists were clenched, he slammed on the kang table and gritted his teeth: "I, Li Tian, have you and silver, who are you afraid of coming?!

At the end of the year in the blink of an eye, on the afternoon of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Zhongzhi, the patriarch of the Li clan and Li Tian's cousin, sent someone to take Li Tian to his house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Li Tian used to eat and keep the New Year, until the first morning of the new year was sacrificed to the ancestors, and then came back to yawn to make up for sleep.

The ancestral home of the Li family is Yuhang, Li Tian's ancestor is the personal entourage of Emperor Taizu, Taizu became the emperor, the Li family settled down in the capital, to the generation of Li Tian's great-grandfather, and Yuhang's hometown divided the north and south sects, Li Tian's branch is the northern sect, and the southern sect is the south sect in Yuhang's hometown. Li Tian's second uncle took it.

The second uncle was saddened by the tragic changes in his brother's family, and scolded his brother for being ridiculous and deserved, but in his heart he moved his resentment to a few concubines in the Yongguo Mansion, and one year, he suddenly hit the door with a cane, and did not allow the concubines of the Yongguo Mansion and their descendants to be ranked in the eldest and youngest ranks, forcing the Yongguo Duke Li Zhongchao to change the name from the second master of the Li family to the uncle, Mrs. Yang was ashamed and indignant, and let people change the title on the spot, and from then on, the Yongguo Mansion was isolated by the Li family.

This second uncle loves Li Tian very much, and often goes to see her every once in a while, but Li Tian has no impression of him, when he passed away, Li Tian was still the same Li Tian.

After the death of the second uncle, the patriarch was made by his eldest son Li Zhongzhi, Li Zhongzhi is loyal, only average, and now he will be a supervisor as a chief official, the position is not high but a fat shortage, the family does harmony and beauty, because of the tragedy in Li Tian's family, the elders of the Li clan warned their children and grandchildren not to take concubines, and Li Zhongzhi did not even have a room, which can be regarded as the benefit of the tragedy.

Of course, another reason why there are few concubines in the Li clan is that there are almost no children in the clan, although Li Tian's ancestor is extremely trusted by Taizu, but he is only a confidant, and he can't become a martial artist, about this root is not good, from Gaozu to Li Tian's generation, except for Li Tian's father, Li Zhongxian, who is amazingly talented, even a person is unusual, let alone Jinshi, because Li Tian's ancestor and great-ancestor have been in charge of the two places of the general supervisor and the Ministry of Works, and now the children of the Li family are scattered in these two places to do some small stewards, Although it is not prominent, it is better than affordable, and the family has lived a rich and prosperous life.

On the second day of the first lunar month, it was snowing heavily, Li Tian was standing under the porch, discussing with a few girls to hold a big umbrella in the yard, and sit under the umbrella to enjoy the snow and eat mutton pot, Yuye ran in along the corridor and said: "Five ladies, three ladies have come to see you with the eldest lady." ”

Li Tian was startled, the eldest lady said that she was five months pregnant, and it was snowing heavily, and she had to go through the entire garden to get here! Li Tian stomped his feet and hurriedly walked straight through the courtyard to greet him.

Yingluo didn't dare to let others help, and Qingzhi and the two of them carefully waited for the eldest lady Li Yuerong to sit on the kang, clean her hands and face, send the hand stove and foot stove, and hurriedly let people boil lotus seed white fungus soup, and they were busy.

Li Yuerong hurriedly waved her hand and smiled: "It's okay, it's been more than five months, and the fetus has already sat down, so come over to see the fifth sister, your grandmother has passed away...... The eldest sister was very sad, and she couldn't go to the front of the spirit while she was pregnant, so she had to send your eldest brother-in-law to go two more times and kowtow a few more, and then I heard that you had moved back, and I wanted to come and see you, and my body is not cheap. ”

"The eldest sister is polite, it's all mine, I heard that the eldest sister is happy, I should have gone to see the eldest sister to congratulate, at that time my grandmother was sick, first, my grandmother was seriously ill, I couldn't leave anyone, and secondly, I was afraid that I would be sick." Li Yuerong was polite, and Li Tian was also very polite.

"Why should our sisters pay attention to those, as soon as I came back, the third sister told me, you took care of her, and let her learn the piano with Mr. Shui, the third sister is very grateful, and I am also very grateful." Li Yuerong took the lotus seed tea handed by Yingluo and took a sip and put it down, looking at Li Tian and saying sincerely, Li Tian hurriedly smiled and said: "The third sister takes care of me more places, and Mr. Shui likes the third sister very much." ”

"This is all your kindness," Li Yuerong reached out and took Li Tian's hand, and her tone was full of gratitude: "The third sister has told me, Mr. Shui not only taught her to learn the piano, but where can I hear the truth of being a woman?" Who will teach her? Those are all for her good, if it weren't for you, who did Mr. Shui know her? How can the third sister have this blessing? I'm so grateful that I have to come and talk to you anyway. ”

"Big sister said that, how can I afford it? We are sisters, don't the eldest sister and the third sister treat me like this? Li Tian said with a smile, Li Yuerong sighed: "That's it, we are sisters-in-law, break bones and tendons!" Li Yuerong's words stopped a little abruptly, looked at Li Tian and sighed and said: "In the past few days since you came back, they have made a lot of trouble, I have heard about it, my aunt and her ...... It's really old and confused, she is getting more and more confused year by year, she wasn't like this when I was a child, and now she ...... I heard about those things, but I couldn't raise my head in shame, I wronged you, I will accompany you for my aunt. ”

Saying that, Li Yuerong was about to get up and salute while holding the kang, but Li Tian hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Don't!" Big sister like this, how can I afford it? Big sister, don't do this. Yingluo and Qingzhi also hurriedly came over to support Li Yuerong, for fear that she would miss a little.

"Third sister, you make amends for me and A-Niang to Sister Tian." Li Yuerong didn't struggle much, but turned his head and ordered the third lady Li Yunsheng, Li Yunshang hurriedly stood up, and without waiting for Li Tian to jump off the kang, he was already kneeling on the ground with deep bent knees, and Qingzhi hurriedly took two steps over to help Li Yunsheng up.

"I know the big sister's intentions, and the big aunt is not a big deal, even if there is, it is an elder, the big sister can rest assured." Li Tian jumped off the kang and pushed Li Yunshang to sit down, while turning his head to look at Li Yuerong and said. Li Yuerong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Sister Tian was willing to say this, then it was really over.

Li Yuerong sat and talked for half an hour, seeing that it was time for lunch, she got up to say goodbye, Li Tian hurriedly asked people to lift her soft pocket, and called two safe mothers-in-law to carry her back to Ziyunju.

Li Yuerong got out of the soft pocket and wanted to reward the mother-in-law, but the two mothers-in-law said that they would not accept it even if they died, so they took the soft pocket and retreated back. Li Yuerong watched the two mothers-in-law walk away, leaning comfortably on the kang, and breathed a long sigh of relief, Li Yunshang looked at Li Yuerong strangely and smiled: "Why is my sister so polite to Sister Tian?" Look at your politeness, it seems that Sister Tian is not our sister, but our elder!"

"I'm doing this for you!" Li Yuerong beckoned Li Yunshang to sit beside him and said, "It's your blessing that she moved back, you see, there was a Mr. Shui who taught you that." ”

"Well, I play much better." Li Yunshang said happily, Li Yuerong pinched her nose and said: "Silly sister, that piano is nothing, I said that she taught you, she is willing to teach you the things of those daughters' families, you are married, who has the kung fu to listen to what piano you play, what you have to do every day is to wait for your aunt and husband, that is the most important thing." This is still a small benefit, in addition to filial piety in March, she will be able to move around, she usually walks around the house, our family can't afford to climb, if she is willing to take you around with you, your family business, maybe there will be a settlement, our family...... Alas, I'm not saying that our family is bad, but how many people walk around with our family? Even our own family and clan don't associate with us. ”

"Big sister," Li Yunshang leaned on Li Yuerong, Li Yuerong smiled bitterly: "I originally thought that I would pay attention to a good family for you after I got married, but ......" Li Yuerong's voice revealed a thick bitterness: "The people who come and go with your eldest brother-in-law's family are all petty officials who are not in the stream, and the big sister doesn't want you to be the same as the big sister, this step has fallen, and it will be difficult to climb it again, and in the future, you will treat Sister Tian well, Sister Tian is the granddaughter of our grandmother, and her grandmother brought her hand in hand, very shrewd, Thou hast a solid heart, and as soon as thy eyes have to be seen by her, thou hast done it to her, as it has been to me, and thou hast done better than unto me, have you heard? ”

"Is she really willing to help me?" Li Yunshang said suspiciously.

"She asked Mr. Water to teach you that, and she is willing to help you! You stupid girl, okay, come, tell my sister, what else did Mr. Shui teach you? ”

"Well, Mr. Shui said......" Li Yunsheng blushed, next to Li Yuerong, and the two of them muttered for a while, talking for a while, being surprised and laughing.
