196 Difficult things
As soon as she said this, Liuli remembered something, looked at her for a while, and then looked at the laurel begonia, and before she knew it, she was already a big girl. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * Shou * Fa" Rui'er is sixteen after the New Year, and the laurel begonia is smaller, and it is also fourteen or fifteen, and when she gets married, there will be sixteen or seventeen. The girl in the room didn't bring three or four Li'er with her, so who could take them when the time came?
At the beginning of my heart, I saved this matter, but fortunately, it is still early, and if I don't have an idea for the time being, I can put it aside first, and then I will talk about it later.
Rui'er took the new clothes she took off and changed them, and when she got them back, it was the thirteenth day of the lunar month.
Early in the morning, I changed into new clothes, put on light makeup, and combed my hair in a bun. There was no hairpin ring on his head, and he looked plain, so he wore a gold collar with complicated workmanship around his neck, and then hung a gold lock. It looks very expensive, but the jacket lined with smoke lines is not plain.
Rui'er still brought a set of spare clothes, accompanied by Yuegui, and went to the second gate. Rui'er ordered Begonia to take care of the house, and the rest were Xiyue, Caiyun, and Xianglan. While Liuli was lying in bed, Qi personally brought these three people over to make up for her vacant maid shortage. Now Rui'er is a first-class girl, laurel and begonia are second-class, and these three people are third-class examples.
As for Double Happiness, since He Yuhua was able to bite her hairpin in the glass jewelry box, then whether it was Double Happiness or not, she didn't bother to deal with her anymore, so she didn't keep her. When Liang came to see it, Shuangxi came to serve tea, and even made a cup, and Liuli handed her to Liang without saying anything. Liang pondered for two days and didn't know how to deal with it, just when Shuhua returned home with the child, the mother and daughter talked for a while, and when she came out, she found a reason to beat her to the back to sweep the garden.
Liuli got into the carriage, Huanhua also arrived, Liuli looked at her dress, smoky-colored jacket lining and light moire jacket. Covered with a rat-gray mink fur, with a double bun on his head, and two small palace flowers. Very decent. It's just that there is a bit of worry between her eyebrows and eyes, which doesn't match her fine makeup.
"What's going on again?"
Wait for the car to leave the house. Ruri asked.
Huanhua sighed, "You don't believe it." I went to greet my mother, and she was overjoyed. ”
Liuli paused and turned around, Qi clan is happy? That is to say, she has been preparing for pregnancy for so many years, and finally got pregnant?
"I'm engaged now, and I'll be out next year, and I'm not afraid of what she's doing to me." Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa is just my mother pitiful. If my mother had her own heirs, she would naturally no longer protect my mother as she did before, and I would not be as tough as Sister Shu, and the Lin family would not be a big family. Even if I come back, I won't be able to help her, and Aunt Ning won't know how to squeeze her when she arrives. ”
Huanhua's eyes were red and he took a soft breath. "As for my father, you know, he has nothing but his mother in his eyes. It's no one else. Aunt Ning gave birth to two sons, and he has always been indifferent to her, let alone my mother. Come to think of it, she is also a miserable person. ”
Liuli thought about her words, but it was reasonable. He Pusong's love for Qi's family. It was fortunate for her, but it was unfortunate for the concubines who were the tools for giving birth to children. Although Aunt Ning has a son, but she can't get her husband's attention, she will inevitably be unwilling, she doesn't dare to move the Qi family, Aunt Liu, can't she move? When the time comes, the third room will have to be tossed again.
But there is no way to do these things, the status of the concubines is already low, it would be good if the Qi family did not treat them harshly, and they could not be expected to take care of them. Liuli thought about it, and then said: "Now I don't know if she gave birth to a son or a daughter, instead of worrying now, it is better to relax and prepare for marriage." If she gives birth to a daughter, she will be fine, but it is a little dowry, and if she is a son, Aunt Ning is the most anxious one. ”
If the son of the Qi family is born, when the family is divided in the future, He Tingrong and He Tingfu will only be able to share a small amount of money to settle down, if the daughter of the Qi family is born, it is at most a dowry money, the Qi family has its own dowry and private self, and there is not much in the public, and when the family is divided, there will only be an equal share of these two concubines.
After hearing this, Huanhua couldn't help nodding: "In this way, I really think too much." You see better than I do every time, I really don't know how to get better. ”
Liuli said: "That's why I let you come out with me." These mundane things look annoying, and I don't want to care about it, but no matter if it doesn't work, we live in this circle, even the common people have a few relatives who can't be explained, not to mention us and other people who are caught in the whirlpool of power? No, let's learn, and if we learn, it's also to protect ourselves and the people around us. ”
Her thoughts on her own training, Huanhua fully understood at this time. Although Liuli is her sister in name, she has long regarded her as her sister in her mind, these few words come out, where does she have anything to hope to live a life that only envy the mandarin duck and not the immortal, and ignore the thoughts of the worldly feelings?
At the moment, his heart was surging, and he clenched her hand and said, "Don't worry, although I am stupid, I am willing to work hard." ”
Liuli knew that she was enlightened, so she smiled and said: "I also crossed the river by feeling the stones, there are those who understand and those who don't understand, let's think more about it, and there is no ......hurdle that we can't overcome."
As he spoke, Yuwang's Mansion arrived, Rui'er stepped forward and handed over the post, and someone under the door had already handed over the stool and let the two get out of the car. Immediately, someone brought two soft sedan chairs, and when the two of them got on one after another, they were carried to the house.
There is no snow today, but there is a little shadow of daylight, the soft sedan chair passed the second door, and then a group of people came over, beckoning to let the sedan chair stop under the hallway, a noble woman looked like a person smiled and lifted the sedan curtain, stretched out his hand to lead the glass out, and said: "This is the nine girls of Hefu?" Ruri nodded and said yes. turned around to look at Huanhua, and was also picked up by the two mothers-in-law brought by this noble mother-in-law.
Liuli looked at this noble lady, looked at the brocade clothes and embroidered clothes, not like an ordinary person, so she smiled and said, "Please lead the way." ”
The noble lady nodded, smiled and made a gesture, and led them to the main courtyard.
Prince Yu and his wife are still alive, so it is natural that they should go to invite the two of them first and then go to see the little concubine. Liuli entered the main courtyard, and there were several other noble ladies there, and when they heard that the eight girls and nine girls of He Mansion were coming, they all stopped talking instantly, and raised their eyes to look at the door. Chunyang and Concubine Qi got up first, and said with a smile: "The rare guest is here!" ”
Liuli knew that this meant that she was easily not invited out of the house, so she nodded and smiled generously, looked up, and saw that the elderly graceful woman was looking at each other with a smile, so she took two steps forward and bent down to give a deep salute, and said, "Greetings to the princess." ”
Today, because Liuli is the guest of honor, Princess Yu is the first time she has met as an elder, and there is no gift for reward, Concubine Qi led her to sit aside, and Chunyang here led Huanhua to come forward to meet her.
The people sitting in the house are all close relatives, nothing more than the princess's mother's family, as well as the little concubine's mother's family, and the mother's family of other daughters-in-law. They are all elders, they don't have anything to say, in front of Chunyang, they all know that they are cousins, and it is inconvenient to say anything if they have anything. After sitting down for a while, and after a few polite words, the little concubine personally led them to the back garden.
Muyang's ceremony was actually held in the royal temple early in the morning, and the banquet in the house was just a lively and lively house, inviting some young women and women among the powerful to let Muyang know and talk. Secretly, there is naturally a girl in my family who has just grown up, and now that she is in time, she will pull it out and slip away, and who has the right teenager in everyone's mind, can also help match the meaning. Therefore, no male guests were invited, and the location was set in a warm pavilion in the back garden.
Greeting all the way to the gate of the garden, Concubine Qi suddenly stopped and said, "I have to tell you something first." ”
Liuli said: "If the princess of the county has something to say, she can't say it directly. ”
Concubine Qi looked at the door opened at the warm pavilion, revealing two points of embarrassment, and before she knew how to speak, Huanhua had already whispered to a young woman who came out of the door: "Look, Liuli, the third sister is also here!" ”
Liuli raised her eyes, and sure enough, she saw Yuhua talking to another woman at the door, still dressed up, with a graceful appearance, and she looked like a very aristocratic young woman, she should not have seen herself, so her expression looked very relaxed.
Liuli came back, but I really didn't think that Yuhua would come too.
"That's all I have to say." Concubine Qi was a little helpless and a little apologetic, "I thought you weren't interested in coming, so I also sent a post to Grandma Qi, and within two days of her promise, your people sent a reply." I blame me for not doing a good job in this matter, and I hope you will take care of it. ”
As a frequent visitor to the eldest princess's mansion, Concubine Qi naturally knows everything about the lawsuit between Liuli and Yuhua back then, and this concern is right, but after all, she is an elder, and she is the princess of the county. So he smiled: "The princess of the county is too worried." You mean so well, how can I blame you for this? She and I have always been sisters, we don't meet here, we always have to meet in other places, that is, we don't care about other people's faces, but also take care of our own faces. ”
Concubine Qi was still followed by the noble lady who had just given Liuli, as well as several maids in the house, and they couldn't help but glance at Liuli twice when they heard this. Concubine Qi's eyes lit up, and she immediately took Liuli's hand and patted it, and said, "You are so reasonable, it really hurts my heart." It's cold outside, let's go inside! ”
As he spoke, he actually pulled her up the stone steps.
Today, the whole warm pavilion is for the female guests to move, and there is a special pantry for the maids outside. At this moment, the door was open, and when people came outside, they couldn't help but look this way or two. Lu Muyang was closest to the door, and when he saw that his mother had brought a guest again, he put Yuhua aside for the time being and greeted him happily, "Who are these two sisters, mother quickly introduce them!" ”
