Chapter 27: A Blessing in Disguise

Ling Shixiao lay on the pillow, her shoulders twitched for a while, and Cui's mother hurriedly came over to give her relief. Wanhua also hurriedly helped to carry the water, and Ling Shi slowed down for a while, slowed out of the joy, and pulled the hair around his ears. looked at Shaohua who was sitting next to him with an innocent face. beckoned her over, hugged her, and symbolically patted her a few times, with a smile on his face, and a scorn on his lips: "You girl, you have a lot of ghost thoughts!" Don't bully your cousin in Pu'an. ”

"How can I bully people, this is an accident." Shaohua secretly looked away, and said in her heart that if she wanted to bully people, Jinhua would not just be scared and cry.

"A-Niang, don't blame Wu Niang, she is also for me. Qi Niang was too much just now, if she didn't teach a lesson, she would turn the sky upside down. Wanhua immediately jumped out to support her sister. Ling didn't listen to her words, took a sip of tea, sighed, and sneered: "I'm afraid that your lesson like this will be true, let your father know, and talk about you again." ”

"But, A-Niang, you also saw it. She was rude at first, flattering in front of the old lady of the clan and the lady of the county, and then she was rude to me. I didn't scold her, I didn't hit her, what can I do. Wanhua's face turned red, and a pair of eyes bulged as she looked at Ling.

Ling Shi sank his expression, looked at Wanhua and said, "Have you forgotten that every time if you get a reward, or if you are coldly regarded in Xuyuan, what will your father do to you?" Your father's heart is biased, so how can there be any successive gifts. Maybe this will be in Huansiyuan, and when their mother and daughter cried, they were fascinated again. Speaking of which, the handkerchief in Ling's hand was tightened tightly, "I don't know where I learned that fox energy, and the old lady was really at the beginning, and it was not easy to choose anything else, so I chose such a fox spirit by my side." Hurt your father now, only hang a fame on his body, lose to your uncle than his identity, and inferior to your third uncle in talent. ”

As soon as the three Li brothers were mentioned, the Ling family was even more indignant.

Looking at the changes on Ling's face, Shaohua felt some sympathy for her. It doesn't matter if her husband's talent and ability are lost to her brother, she is not favored by her husband, but fortunately, her mother's family is still quite strong, and Li Ge Lao also attaches great importance to her, otherwise it will be difficult for the Ling family to survive in this family.

There was a familiar sound of footsteps, her mind spun around quickly, and she looked at Ling seriously: "Auntie, don't worry, one person does things and one person does it, if Daddy is weird, he will punish me alone." ”

When Wanhua heard this, she became anxious, "How can I blame you, I am my sister, and this incident started because of me, and if you want to punish me, you will punish me." ”

Shaohua continued: "No, what does this have to do with my sister, it's obviously me who is not good. ”

The Ling clan was confused by their dispute, and was about to stop it when they saw Li Xunzhuo walk in from outside the door. She was stunned for a moment, hurriedly got up, and the two girls also saluted Li Xunzhuo. Li Xunzhuo waved his hand, walked in, looked at them with a weak face, and asked, "I heard outside the door that you two sisters were arguing about what punishment and not punishment, and who made trouble again." ”

Shaohua walked out first, looked at Li Xunzhuo, blinked his eyes, and said aggrievedly: "Daughter, please punish your father." ”

Li Xunzhuo was more tolerant of this daughter, and when he heard her say this, he laughed, "You didn't even say anything, what do you want me to punish?" ”

Listening to Li Xunzhuo's relaxed tone, Shaohua's heart settled down a little, it seemed that he hadn't gone to Huansiyuan yet. So, with a bitter face, he sighed and said: "Sister Yansui invited a few of our sisters to be guests in the past, thinking that although Sister Yansui is a guest, when she enters Biwuxuan, she is like her own sisters. But the first time I went back, I couldn't be empty-handed, so I discussed with the third sister what kind of meaningful and special gift I wanted to give. Shaohua looked at Li Xunzhuo's words and was quite sure of her, before continuing: "But I didn't know that Qi Niang was afraid of chickens. ”

Li Xunzhuo was stunned after hearing this, and he couldn't turn a corner, and Wanhua hurriedly answered, "Daddy, don't blame Wu Niang, if you want to blame, blame me." "In fact, thinking that Jinhua was chased all over the yard by a majestic and powerful rooster, and was so frightened that her face was discolored, Wanhua was very relieved." We didn't know that Qi Niang was afraid of this beast. ”

"Why are you sending this?" Li Xunzhuo was speechless and asked curiously.

Shaohua had no choice but to repeat the words he said to Yan Sui, and after speaking, he saw that Li Xunzhuo's face showed no signs of anger, so he flattened his mouth and said: "Bohm must have helped Sister Yan Sui clean up the yard, and I didn't have anything to give, so I finally came up with a meaningful and special gift." However, later, Mother You said that Sister Yan Sui had no place to raise it in the yard, so she took it to stew soup. ”

Li Xunzhuo suddenly laughed, "Just because of this? ”

"Hmm." Shaohua drooped his head and nodded sheepishly.

"Hehe, if it's stewed, it's stewed, can't you still let Yan Niangzi raise it?" Li Xunzhuo touched Shaohua's head and said lovingly: "Since you said that you treat Yan Niangzi as a sister, everything you give her is your heart, don't be discouraged." When you ask your aunt to give you the side face jewelry, you can also prepare one for Yan Niangzi. Shaohua was very happy, Li Xunzhuo smiled softly, and looked at the stunned Ling again. The old erhu came back from the south and brought a box of beads, saying that he had brought them back from the sea. You pick up some good colors and give Wu Niang a set of face jewelry. ”

Hearing this, Ling's heart was overjoyed, and he nodded busily, and the corners of his eyes were crooked.

Wanhua puffed out his face and said: "Daddy is eccentric, only for Wu Niang, what about me?" ”

"You're about to go out, and you're still arguing with your sister?" Li Xunzhuo teased, which made Wanhua's little face red, and his heart was clear, "Then give each of the three girls a pair." Li Xunzhuo's words made both Wanhua and Ling's smiles stiffen.

"Qi Niang, doesn't she have it?" Ling said sullenly.

He said disapprerovantly: "Which little lady would dislike a lot of jewelry, since you said that you can't take care of one or the other, then prepare them all." Wanhua listened and wanted to bite off his tongue, he knew that he would not discuss with Li Xunzhuo, but gave Jinhua a chance. Only Shaohua was silent, if Wanhua went out next year, then she and Jinhua would be left in this family, and it seems that the future days can't just rely on selling to get by.

……

If Jinhua went to the temple at the beginning of the year to tell the hexagram, the Buddha would definitely give her a signature, and he would definitely ask her to quit talking.

I vaguely remember that when he was four or five years old, Li Xunzhuo took his family to Pu'an Ling's house to congratulate Old Man Ling on his birthday. Because Li Xunzhuo has always wanted to record Jinhua in the name of the Ling family, he has to take Jinhua with the Ling family wherever he goes, and returning to his parents' house is no exception. Although Jinhua is just a sensible baby, he is not the Ling family's biological child after all, so he can't get good in the Ling family. The mother who took care of her was instigated by the old sisters of the Ling family, and as soon as she was happy, she hugged Jinhua and went to drink.

The mother threw Jinhua on the bed, gave some peanuts and fruits, and happily went to the cubicle to drink. Unexpectedly, Jinhua was already able to walk and jump, and he was tired of eating peanuts, so he secretly climbed out of bed and went out. Because it is the yard where the subordinates live, there are also a few cages of chickens in the yard.

Jinhua saw the freshness, so he ran over to look, and somehow, which chicken coop door was not closed tightly. Just when Jinhua was squatting down, suddenly the door of the chicken coop was rushed open, three or four big roosters flew out with their wings, and one stepped on Jinhua in front of him. Startled by the sudden movement, Jinhua sat down on the ground, and after being stunned for a moment, he cried loudly.

What I didn't want was that Jinhua happened to sit on a handful of rice, and the rooster ran over to peck at the rice and caught Jinhua's hand. She was startled, she didn't wipe away her tears, she got up and ran. But the rice pressed on her clothes spilled all the way because of the running, and she screamed in panic, and three or four big roosters ran after her.

Therefore, Jinhua also had a high fever, and Si Mo also had a cold because of crying and playing. was originally a good wedding banquet, but it became a mess, but Shaohua, who had just appeared on the stage, was innocently thought to have killed his younger siblings, which caused them to get sick.

Since then, Jinhua has developed a huge fear of chickens, let alone seeing them, even the cooked chicken heads are enough for her to shiver for a long time.

Su Shi hugged his daughter who was hiding on the bed and trembling in distress, and comforted gently: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, A-Niang is here." ”

"Auntie, I don't want to go over, it's terrible, it's terrible!" Jinhua cried and said to Su Shi. "They must have done it on purpose, they must have known that I was scared and brought them." How can anyone hold a live chicken as a gift?

Su coaxed her: "Don't cry, wait for your father to come, let your father make the decision for you." Although Su didn't know what was going on, he was also frightened when he saw Jinhua running back tremblingly. After knowing the matter, she hesitated for a long time, this matter is really not bad. Snakes, rats, insects and ants are all afraid, but chickens are really rare people like Jinhua, and it can only be said that Jinhua is unlucky.

Although she wanted to be angry for her daughter, she couldn't think of a way, and now Jinhua had to ask for them. Su Shi sighed, and had no choice but to persuade Jinhua to swallow his grievances.

"They must have deliberately bullied me because I had grown face in front of the county lord's mother." Jinhua cried and trembled.

Su Shi was stunned, "The county lord is here?" Jinhua nodded, "And the old lady of the domain." Su Shi thought about it for a while, suddenly realized, suddenly overjoyed, and said to Jinhua with a smile: "This is a good thing!" In this way, the third lady is really promised to the county lord's family, which is a status for you. Madame wants to take the fifth lady to the high gate, then no one in the Liu family will rob you. You girl, why didn't you tell me this earlier. ”

Jinhua hadn't finished crying, looking at his mother complacently, and said unhappily: "They have all climbed the high gate, why can't I." "Yichen is not bad, but if you want to say how good it is, I can't say it for the time being, I can only say that my family background is not bad. But Yan Sui's disdain was in the past, and now Jinhua has a thick face to climb Yichen, and he always feels panicked in his heart. "I am also the lady of the Li family, even if I am not a concubine, but it is not something that can be promised by casual people, why are they always better than me."

Jinhua was a little unaccustomed to Su's thoughts, and always wanted her to hug the Liu family to death on the tree, and always felt that she was not worthy of the main room of the high gate.

"Then what do you want to do, expect Madame to look at it for you?" Su Shi snorted coldly.

Jin Hua didn't care, "Naturally I don't expect it, but Madame didn't also ask the old lady to help, I showed my face in front of the old lady, and showed her my embroidery, if it wasn't for Madame, I also planned to embroider a forehead for the old lady." "If you can't count on it, then she shows her sincerity, and she can't show off her embroidery?

Su Shi said nervously: "How can there be a lady's family who agrees with each other, you are about to stop your mixed thoughts." ”

"Why not, isn't it Mrs. Xuan!" Jinhua said proudly.

Su reprimanded: "Mrs. Xuan, can you compare, people are the proud daughter of the sky, what are you, but you are a concubine." Your father has no official position, you show your head like this, even if you are in the picture, people dare to take you? Don't talk about Mrs. Xuan, that's how expensive people can be like this, and she still has a mountain of gold and silver to cushion, what can you have. Su Shi was in a hurry, and he said anything, and trained Jinhua to blush.

"Aunt Su, the master asked the Seventh Lady to go to Xiyuan, saying that he wanted to make a set of noodle jewelry for the Seventh Lady." Ask Lan to report into the house.

Su Shi was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Wenlan to clean up Jinhua's clothes, "Your father still loves you in his heart, as long as you obediently please Mrs., I won't lose your good in the future." Looking at Jinhua's face and unwilling, he told again and again, "You remember it for me, don't think about it anymore." ”

"Got it." Jinhua was sullen.
