Chapter 54: The eldest granddaughter-in-law

After confirming Si Yan and Yan Sui's relationship, Shaohua was not only surprised, but also delighted. However, the Liu family seems to have adopted a roundabout tactic, and also asked Si Yan to discuss specific matters in detail after the spring of next year.

It wasn't until he met Si Yan again that Shaohua knew why Liu had been sullen. Judging from Si Yan's thin back and heavy and tired dark circles, it seems that he has struggled back from a life-and-death situation. When I saw people, I no longer had the same hippie smile as before, and after seeing the courtesy, I bowed my head and said that I would go back to the house to study. When Shaohua heard it for the first time, he was taken aback, this is not like Si Yan's style at all, just like Liu Baichuan said, according to Si Yan's daily actions, Qiu Yan's ability to be on the list is completely due to the talent of his ancestors.

In any case, Si Yan's ability to accept sex learning is also a great comfort to Liu.

And the greater comfort is that Li Sijin was promoted to the Hanlin Academy and became a waiter from the five grades. It stands to reason that as soon as the gold list comes out, the first and third will be incorporated into the Hanlin Academy, and the champion will be awarded the revision of the six products, while the list eye and Tanhua will be awarded the compilation of the seven products. But there are always exceptions, such as Li Sijin who was reluctant to enter the idle Hanlin Academy, but asked to be released, and he did not go to the rich Jiangnan, but voluntarily went to Liangping. Although Dao Liangping is not a poor country, but far from the capital, it is not convenient to enter and exit, only heard that the local real estate is abundant, but the people are not civilized, and the imperial court has sent several officials to no avail.

The Liu family knew that his son was going to such a far place just after he got married, and he cried to death and refused to let him leave, but Li Ge Lao nodded and acquiesced. "Liangping is vast and sparsely populated, and the iron ore is excellent, but there are many indigenous people, and the people are not open. In the past, several officials went to the minerals, either to make a profit, or to return to the court to invite merit, and did not take into account the wishes of the people, so they could not last long. When you go this time, you must be prepared to endure hardships, remember to put the people first, put the people first, and seek no merit but no fault, which is the best. ”

"My grandson is not afraid of hardship, and only by knowing the people's feelings can he calm his heart." Li Sijin has followed Li Ge Lao since he was a child, and he also knows a thing or two about the emperor's thoughts, which is nothing more than Di Rong in northern Sichuan and pirates in the south. He didn't know how to march and fight, and he didn't know the customs of the sea, but he retreated to the second, and several folk customs in the Central Plains were closed, which also gave the emperor a headache. Just when Liang Ping's official returned to Beijing to take up his post, he asked to be released, and he really won the holy will. Considerate that he was born into a scholarly family, Liang Ping was bitter, and he didn't ask too much of him.

"This goes for a long time, and you have to respect yourself. If you have any problems, you should always write to us. "Elder Li Ge is still distressed about his eldest grandson.

But Li Sijin did not disappoint Li Ge Lao in the end, and there was no news for a whole year. In the following year, Yushi was ordered to inspect, passing through Liangping, and was frightened by the warm and simple local people. What surprised him even more was that Li Sijin was thin and dark-skinned, which was completely different from the graceful and handsome when he was named on the gold list that year. Yu Shi was originally an old protΓ©gΓ© of the pavilion, and he had selfish intentions to fight for Li Sijin to get back to Beijing as soon as possible, but he didn't want him to be able to blend in with the local people. Even the newlywed wife, who is the eldest daughter of General Dingxi, wants to be fine, and she can't see the pampered appearance of Jin Zhi Yuye at all.

When Yushi returned to Beijing, the emperor praised him and praised Li Ge for raising a good son and grandson.

Now that Li Sijin has returned to the Hanlin Academy, his identity naturally cannot be compared with those who have been in the Hanlin Academy all the year round, but because he was originally born as a champion, he has to have some performance in Liangping. So when he became a waiter in Wupinyuan, no one said anything. In any case, even if Li Liangxun is just a Honglu Siqing, there is an old grandfather above, and he can be regarded as having a profound family background. However, Li Sinian could not be compared with Li Sijin, because he was worried about returning home, after returning to Beijing to report, he no longer arranged to go to the Hanlin Academy, but asked him to go to the Metropolitan Inspection Academy.

"This champion and Tanhua really can't be compared, one is from the fifth grade, and the other is from the seventh grade." Shaohua was stunned when he heard this, Li Liangxun was just a fourth-grade official, and Li Sijin was already from the fifth-grade, but how long did it take for Li Sinian to climb to the same position as his brother.

Because of this, the threshold of the Li family was almost stepped on by the congratulatory people, and the Liu family suddenly became proud, and set up dozens of tables of banquets to invite various noble ladies, and different people came to congratulate them every day. Li Sijin avoided the opportunity to let the Liu family show off by taking advantage of getting back to the yamen, but Xin Zixuan was not so lucky. In addition, Xin Zixuan's original identity was on the table, and she was the eldest granddaughter-in-law, so she had to accompany her mother-in-law to carry it down. As a result, a few days after coming back, the whole person was even more haggard than in Liangping. Li Sijin couldn't stand it, and reprimanded Liu for not being extravagant and wasteful.

If Li Sijin didn't open his mouth again, he was afraid that the Ling clan would go berserk. The scenery was robbed by the Liu family, even if the Ling family followed the light, it was not his own son in the end, and more importantly, the Liu family took this opportunity to squander it unceremoniously, which was enough to squander the money that the Ling family had managed to save a budget again, and the Ling family was so angry that he didn't step into the garden for a long time.

"You can't say that, the imperial history is a real official position, and even the ministers of the first rank don't dare to mess around." Wanhua felt a little smug in her heart, "I think I can understand Bohm's mood." Since my grandfather's retirement, some of the ladies have not had much contact with me, and I know that I must think that our family is not profitable, and I do not like to talk to them. But now that the eldest brother and the second brother have official positions, they see me as if they are nobles. ”

Shaohua once again confirmed that Wanhua's temperament was inherited from the Ling family, and he likes to listen to people's praise the most.

"You know they're here for good, but you're still in contact with them?" After Mama Rong completely gave up Shaohua's embroidery work, she taught her to tie the knots wholeheartedly, and also taught several patterns that only female officials in the palace could understand, which could be regarded as allowing Shaohua to have a skill.

"Whoever interacts with them, I didn't promise them anything anyway, it's their business to please them." Wanhua said, her face was indeed proud.

"Then you said that in the future, it is better for the third brother-in-law to go to the Hanlin Courtyard or to the Ducha Academy." Shaohua winked at her.

Wanhua thought about it very seriously, and then she realized that she was ridiculed by Shaohua, and she was so angry that she wanted to twist her. I didn't want Shaohua to be quick-sighted, so he had already gotten up and fled. "Don't run, where are you going!"

"I'll go to Xuyuan and talk to my sister-in-law." Shaohua couldn't ask again, and had already run out of the yard.

Wanhua doesn't like Shaohua to always run to Xuyuan, probably because he is often with the Ling family, and he can't help but have some common hatred with the Ling family. Since the Ling family has an opinion on the Liu family, Wanhua is not very close to Xin Zixuan, and always thinks that she and the Liu family are together.

For some reason, the dream of that day was so deeply imprinted in her mind that she was so frightened that she ran to look in the mirror several times. After confirming that he was still Shaohua's appearance, he also knew his identity better, and when he looked at Xin Zixuan again, he was not initially nervous and excited, but naturally intimate. This is a great surprise for Xin Zixuan, who followed her husband to take office soon after entering the door, and has been worried that her husband's sisters-in-law will not get along.

However, although Wanhua is not personally with her, she is not difficult, but Shaohua sticks to her like a familiar one. In addition, the Liu family seems to want to take back the rights of the management family, and has been instigating Xin Zixuan to ask the Ling family to ask for peace and learn from the management family. So Xin Zixuan is close to the second room.

"Sister-in-law, I'm here." Shaohua entered the house familiarly, and even poured tea and moved the stool very consciously.

"Fifth lady, you're really welcome, this is the tea just made for the young lady, and it's all for you to drink." The purple mandarin beside Xin Zixuan hurriedly snatched the teacup, looked at the tea with only half a cup left, and complained coldly.

Shaohua frowned, glanced at her, stretched out his voice, and shouted into the inner room: "Sister-in-law, the maid in your house is so powerful, not to mention taking my teacup, but also to reprimand me." β€β€˜

At this time, Xin Zixuan walked out of the inner room, saw Zi Yuan's nervous expression, and looked at half a cup of tea. smiled at Shaohua, motioned for Zi Yuan to retreat, and said faintly: "It's good that she didn't let you spit it out." ”

Shaohua was displeased, "Sister-in-law is so stingy, she won't even give me tea, you are in Xiyuan, I will bring you all the good things." ”

Hearing Shaohua being wronged like this, Xin Zixuan's eyes widened, she reached out and poked her bulging cheeks, and said angrily: "You treat me here as your home, you can throw anything into your mouth, do you know what kind of tea that cup just now." ”

"Isn't it just ordinary tea?" Although it has some Chinese herbal flavor, it doesn't seem to be anything special.

Xin Zixuan shook her head and sighed: "That's it, when you go out in the future and go to your husband's house, you will know what kind of tea it is." ”

Shaohua's expression suddenly became stiff, and she looked at Xin Zixuan embarrassedly, "Could it be ......" His gaze shifted from Xin Zixuan's face to her stomach.

Xin Zixuan raised the corners of her mouth and smiled flawlessly: "What do you think?" ”

Shaohua immediately covered her mouth and looked left and right, she wouldn't be so unlucky to drink Xin Zixuan's fetal pills. However, the tea was already in his stomach, and he couldn't vomit if he wanted to, Shaohua collapsed with an aggrieved little face and looked at Xin Zixuan, "Sister-in-law, you said that I will induce vomiting now, is it useful?" ”

"Eighty percent is useless, you swallow it all." Xin Zixuan looked helpless, but her heart blossomed. "Whoever asks you to ask doesn't ask, just look at something and stuff it into your mouth, this character is like a child, just like a monkey."

"So what do I do now, do I have one?" Shaohua is really stupid now.

"Phew! What are you talking about, you are still a yellow flower girl, how can you have it. Seeing Shaohua's look like he was about to cry, Xin Zixuan felt that she was a little too ridiculous, and was busy comforting, "I lied to you just now, this is just a soothing tea, so that you can eat indiscriminately next time." "Although it has a calming effect, it is also a tea that is often drunk for the fetus.

Shaohua breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest exaggeratedly, "Sister-in-law, you scared me to death, I thought I would have it after drinking it." ”

"What a stupid girl, if it's so easy to have a baby, there must be children running around everywhere." Xin Zixuan was amused by Shaohua's exaggerated expression, reached out and touched her belly, and her smile faded.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, you'll have it soon. Why don't I talk to A-Niang and ask her to take us to the temple to worship. It is said that the Bodhisattva can be spiritual, and I was also sick and dazed before, but I went to the temple and asked the master to do the Dharma, and I came back to life. Shaohua said to Xin Zixuan with a serious face.

Xin Zixuan was a little grateful, although she had been in the door of the Li family for several years, but after all, she had not lived with the Li family, and when she came back this time, she was very nervous. As soon as Liu came back, he stared at her stomach, and said in a cool voice: "I thought I would let you go with me, and I could bring one back when I came back, but I didn't expect to go in vain, and I made Da Lang tired and thin." ”

Although Li Sijin defended her for coming out, Liu is a mother-in-law, and it is not easy for her to talk back as a daughter-in-law. In addition to stewing all kinds of tonic soup and tonic medicines for her every day, she wanted to vomit when she ate it, but she lamented that she gave birth to Li Sijin in the second year after passing the door, and her daughter-in-law who had been married for so long could not be a grandmother.

"Wu Niang, if it's okay, why don't you accompany me to meet my grandfather, I haven't asked the old man to say goodbye since I came back." Xin Zixuan let out a vicious breath, not wanting to stay in Xuyuan, for fear that the Liu family would come to put pressure on her again.

"Oh." Shaohua resisted a little, but still agreed.
