When everyone regathered at the gate of Ling's courtyard and was about to leave, Jinhua's side asked Lan to report that Jinhua's foot was sprained and swollen, and it was inconvenient to move, so please forgive Ling's forgiveness. Ling Shi was puzzled for a while, he was fine when they first met, why did he sprain his foot.

Wanhua raised her eyebrows at Shaohua, and then said, "Why is Qi Niang so careless, she is such a big person, and she still sprains her foot when she walks." Shuyu, accompany Wenlan to the second gate to find Wang's mother, and ask the doctor to come back. Hearing this, Shuyu said yes softly, and left with Wenlan.

Ling Shi saw that Wanhua was frowning at Shaohua, but Shaohua looked innocent and puzzled, "What are you two sisters talking to, just sprain your foot and go to find Mrs. Lu who is in charge of the carriage, and find a doctor for a little thing, and also find Mother Wang." ”

The Ling family was a little dissatisfied with the eldest daughter's fuss, but Wanhua said with a flattering face: "Auntie, Mrs. Lu is dizzy, and it won't be good if she cripples her injured leg." ”

"Phew, no matter how dazzling Mrs. Lu's eyes are, she is smarter than you, your father spoils her, you two useless people actually let her do this, what has become of this." Ling said angrily.

Shaohua couldn't stand her sister's eye knife, so she had to say: "Ah Niang, the third sister means that Daddy hurts Qi Niang so much, if you let Daddy know that Qi Niang sprained her foot, maybe she will be more distressed, so it is better to find a doctor." Wanhua was very satisfied with her sister's answer, and took her mother's hand and said: "Auntie, it's called, it's not that we can't afford to hire this doctor, if Daddy knows that you do this, he will definitely praise you." ”

"Hmph, I don't need him to praise." That being said, Ling's tone was a little soothing, "Let's go quickly, we have to leave food if we go late." ”

Wanhua smiled and helped her mother to get into the car, talking all the way, not taking her anger seriously at all. Originally, she didn't think so, but Shaohua reminded her in one sentence that in order to prevent Jinhua and Su from pretending to be pitiful and complaining in front of Li Xunzhuo, it was better to be generous and invite the doctor to come and have a look, and she also got a good reputation for being virtuous.

Although the three brothers of the Li family live in the same place, since they all got married, a big mansion has been divided. Li Liangxun, who was in the temple of the court, lived in the Xuyuan near the outer courtyard and the Xiyuan where Li Xunzhuo, who was in charge of the family business, lived. The Shaohua sisters happened to live in Biwuxuan between Xiyuan and Taoyuan.

The Li family's house was given by the emperor, so the name of the pattern has not changed much, but Biwuxuan was originally called Biluoxuan. But Li Ge Lao disliked Teng Luo's cheapness, "My Li daughter will not lose her eyebrows, and she will be like a phoenix." The phoenix is not a sycamore, so it was renamed Biwuxuan, and eventful people all said that Li Ge always wanted to let the daughter of the Li family enter the palace as the queen, but Li Ge Lao gave birth to three sons, and only two of the three sons, Li Xunzhuo, gave birth to three daughters, so Biwuxuan, which was originally intended to be shared by the three rooms, became the exclusive use of the second room.

Wanhua is fifteen years old, just after the ceremony at the beginning of the year, standing beside Shaohua, he looks more slender and charming, and graceful. A silk fine-colored pine silk skirt is lined with a half-arm placket with a hundred sons of silk and brocade, and a pine blue caftan inside, corresponding to the color of the jade hairpin on the head. Shaohua is still the one with a light crimson pink hem collared shirt in the morning, and a long skirt with apricot blossoms embroidered all over the body, the sisters are standing beside Ling, one is bright and the other is gentle, envying many people.

After getting out of the carriage and walking all the way to the Xuyuan Flower Hall, the Ling clan almost always walked in with their chin raised.

thinks that when she gave birth to two daughters in a row, she always felt inferior to other people's families to have sons, and she was so ashamed that she went out without a face. But now among the three brothers, one has no children, and the other has two sons, and she has sons and daughters in her room, in groups of three or five, although her husband only has the status of a person, but it is also stronger than the long-term concubine Liu.

Therefore, the Ling clan regarded Liu's silence at the moment when he saw them as envy.

After Shaohua followed his mother's eldest sister to salute Liu, he sat down obediently to the side. Before Liu could speak, a woman dressed in a blue-gray bichia behind her smiled and said: "The fifth lady is here, just now the doctor told me, I don't know how the fifth lady is doing recently, I have to go over and take a look." ”

"If the sister-in-law passes, but this is the blessing of Wu Niang, how can you let the elders turn around to see the younger generations." The Ling family always had a faint sense of inferiority in front of the Liu family, and this inferiority complex did not change because of Li Balang's birth.

"Brother and sister are polite, you are blessed in this family, and you have raised three daughters, which makes me really envious." Liu spoke very softly, and his slow tone made people feel comfortable, and Shaohua couldn't help but look up at her more.

I saw that her face was kind, her smooth and full forehead looked blessed, her facial features were also gentle and gentle, and her smile made people feel very relieved. Shaohua secretly felt fortunate for her sister in her previous life, with such a loving and kind lady as her mother-in-law, at least she would not be sad after marriage.

Liu happened to see Shaohua's gaze, and couldn't help but smile at her, "What is Wu Niang looking at?" ”

"No, nothing." was arrested, Shaohua was a little weak-hearted.

"Sixth aunt, didn't you say that the second aunt's family has three daughters, why are there only two?" A mischievous voice caught everyone's attention.

Hearing the prestige, a girl of the same age as Wanhua stood beside Liu, looking at the Shaohua sisters curiously. Wanhua was a little displeased with her bold and unbridled eyes, but she maintained a reserved and elegant smile on her face, and said softly: "I almost forgot to accuse Bom for Qi Niang, this girl broke her foot when she got up early in the morning and is recuperating in the house." ”

Liu suddenly realized and asked with concern: "The injury is serious, have you asked a doctor?" ”

Ling Shi didn't care, "It's already invited, it's just a small injury, and it's not in the way." ”

Liu nodded, "That's good." Suddenly, the blue-gray woman pulled her sleeve, Liu slapped her forehead, and said with a wry smile: "Look at my memory, I'm really old." Yan Sui, don't hurry up and salute your second aunt. ”

The girl hiding behind the Liu family walked out with a smile, walked in front of the Ling family, and bowed generously, "Second Aunt Wanfu Jin'an, Second Uncle is so blessed, marrying such a great beauty as Second Aunt, I am moved to see it." The Ling clan was frightened by Yan Sui's sweet words, and hurriedly looked at the Liu clan.

Liu pointed at Yan Sui and scolded with a smile: "This girl is the little lady of my second brother's family, her name is Yan Sui, and she is the same age as Sanniang. Originally, Chenlang entered Beijing and Shiro went to school together, this girl had to come with her, my second brother spoiled her, so he let her follow, and she only arrived last night. ”

Yan Sui looked at the Ling family with a smile, and gave Wanhua a salute, "Hello third sister, I heard that the sixth aunt said that the third sister is half a year older than me, but she acts more generously than me. ”

Wanhua was originally dissatisfied with her playful attitude, but when she said this, she was a little uncomfortable, "Sister Yansui is a graceful beauty." ”

It is said that on the side of the main family in Shanxi, the Li family and the Liu family are both famous local squires and wealthy businessmen. The ancestors had experienced life and death together on the road to the Western Regions, and after being rescued, they made an oath that the two families of Liu and Li would be each other's in-laws for generations. The Liu family stayed in Shanxi all the year round, but the Li family let Li Xianyang enter Beijing to take the exam, but he won in one fell swoop, all the way to Ge Lao. The Liu family did not want to fall behind, so Liu Liuniang, who was the most outstanding in the family, was sent to marry, and Liu Liuniang is now the daughter-in-law of the long house.

It stands to reason that the in-laws of the next generation should let the daughter of the Liu family marry into the Liu family, but the Liu family only has two sons, and the goal of the Liu family falls on the second house.

Now the Liu family said that the Liu family has a son in Beijing to take the exam, and he thinks that this Lang Jun should be the candidate to come to get married.

Therefore, the attitude of the Ling family mother and daughter towards Yan Sui was suddenly different, maybe this is the future aunt of the in-laws, don't be lazy, only Shaohua, who knows nothing about this matter, looks at Yan Sui directly.

"The fifth sister is really interesting, she is not afraid of me." Yan Sui clapped her hands in surprise and shouted.

Liu's doting nodded a little bit to the coquettish niece who ran back to her, and scolded lightly: "You are not a big worm, how can your fifth sister be afraid of you, it's just that your father can tolerate you being so rude and willful, and see how your future husband can keep you." ”

Yan Sui was shy for a while, twisted Liu's sleeve and said, "Sixth aunt, it's not me who came to kiss, why do you mention this." ”

"Yan Sui is the same age as Sanniang, it's not that she can't say kiss, I plan to let this girl out at the end of the year." Ling Ying Ying smiled.

"Auntie!"

"Second aunt!"

The two girls exclaimed at the same time, looked at each other, and then twisted their heads.

Ling's concubine was happy to see it, and they both knew in their hearts that the little lady after the marriage could start to say goodbye, and after saying that she would have to wait for another year, it would be used for the woman's time to test the man. If you come to kiss again at seventeen or eighteen, after a year, you will see that you will be twenty, and the right people will all have families and children.

Fortunately, during the founding of the country, there was a lady in this dynasty, who was smart and brilliant since childhood, and was the only daughter of the uncle of the country at that time. When she was thirteen years old, the person who said that she was close to the family almost stepped on the threshold, and the uncle of the country doted on his only daughter, so he let her choose her own husband. However, Mrs. Qianjun was not thinking about marriage, but was more happy to run the family business, until she was twenty-five years old, Lang Jun, who was married in her early years, had already had a group of children, and although Mrs. Qianjun was single, she was the richest man in Pingjing City.

Uncle Guo fell ill at the time of the founding of the country and quelled the turmoil, and when he was dying, he saw that his daughter was still single, so he begged her to choose the king and marry, so as not to let him regret it for life. As a last resort, Mrs. Qianjun held a recruitment meeting on her own, and there was only one request, to do something that made her happy, and she promised to marry with her full wealth.

This color really made the whole country a sensation, and even the princes and nobles were eager to try it, but those in the know knew that the temptation must be to do what they liked. But Madame Suan only loves money, and she is already wealthy, unless she takes the treasury to the Pomeranians and laughs. No one signed up for half a month after the conference, and half a month later, Uncle Guo suddenly died. After taking care of the funeral of her uncle, Mrs. Xuanjun proposed to marry a concubine of the Hou Mansion, and filled half of her worth into the treasury.

It is precisely because there is such a strange woman who values love and righteousness, has a good family, and makes money, so there is no shortage of women who have followed suit throughout the ages. It's a pity that the history is gradually long, even if women can show their heads, they are much more reserved than in the founding years, and they no longer dare to make their own decisions when they even talk about marriage.

"Wu Niang is also thirteen this year, I think when Mrs. Qianjun was thirteen years old, the people who said they were close to each other lined up from Pingjing to Pu'an." Liu smiled at Shaohua, who was bored and fiddling with his fingers.

Shaohua blurted out, "Mrs. Xuanjun can choose a husband, but I can't choose." ”

This exit can surprise everyone. Ling stared at her nervously, for fear that she would say something that was not in line with etiquette, but Wanhua didn't expect Shaohua to say such a thing, because she knew too little about this sister.

Liu Shi paused for a moment and laughed, "What kind of husband does Wu Niang want to choose?" ”

Shaohua was timid, forced by the Ling family's sight, so he had no choice but to snort: "I mean, Mrs. Xuanjun is the proud daughter of a generation of heaven, we are just ordinary people, how can we compare." After speaking, he found that Ling's eyes were slightly approving, and the big stone in his heart fell.

Liu didn't force her, just smiled: "You are all pearl nobles, although you are not as good as Mrs. Qianjun, you are not ordinary ladies, you don't have to depreciate yourself." ”

"Yes." It seems that he escaped the catastrophe.
