Chapter 5 Generations of In-laws

"Mother You, look at these two ladies, which one is better." Yan Sui picked two crystal grapes with bamboo skewers, one large, seedless, sweet and sour, juicy, all as crystal clear as jade, green and lovely. "It's really strange, it's the same Grass Dragon Ball, how did it become so sweet and sour when it arrived in the capital."

After speaking, he greedily picked two more and threw them into his mouth, which happened to be seen by Mother You, who turned around.

She walked over eagerly, took away the crystal grapes placed in front of Yan Sui, and reprimanded in her mouth: "I said lady, you take it easy, this grass dragon ball is very hot, and if you are careful you want to bubble blood, you can scare people to death." Mother You handed the crystal grapes to the maid, and when she turned around, she saw Yan Sui lying on the table boredly, and she didn't feel funny. I said, lady, I see that your heart has been stolen by the pastry fruit, and it looks like everything is good. ”

"Not really! I naturally remember what I was here for, so I asked you which lady is good. Yan Sui was very dissatisfied with Mother You's ridicule, and pouted.

"What does the lady think?" Mother You is half of Yan Sui's nurse, and in this line, except for the two young masters, she is the person with the highest status, so she is also close to nature when talking to Yan Sui.

Hearing this, Yan Sui frowned, put his hands on his cheeks, and made a serious thinking look.

"The third lady is naturally a well-deserved granddaughter of the eldest daughter, and it is best to take it as a daughter-in-law." Yan Sui sank her expression and said slowly, "But because she is too suitable, she is not very suitable." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Mother You was amused by Yan Sui's serious appearance, poured her a cup of tea, and asked rhetorically.

"Do you think, in a family like the Li family, my grandfather is also an elder of the Chaozhong Pavilion. If it weren't for the fact that there was a generational in-law agreement with our Liu family, it would not be difficult for the ladies of the Li family to come to the wishful Langjun with a spring breeze. Yan Sui said a little lost.

Mother You hurriedly comforted: "The lady doesn't have to belittle herself so much, our Liu family is not bad." If it is this autumn festival, Lang Jun can win it, and next year's spring festival will be another time, and then it will be a blessing for the ladies of the Li family. "Mother You did not forget to remind Yan Sui that the purpose of their trip was to let Qichen have a better learning environment, and secondly, to get married." Besides, the second room master has no official position, and in the final analysis, it is equivalent to our family, if the lady of the eldest master's family is afraid of Gao Pan. ”

"That's right." Being enlightened by Mother You, Yan Sui quickly recovered her mood, and then said: "Let's talk about this Wu Niang, she is well-behaved and delicate on the outside, but I look at her eyes shining, and she is by no means a simple lady." Mother You smiled when she heard this, and Yan Sui puffed up her defense, "What I said is true, the sister of the eldest uncle's family is such a person, you don't look at her usually looking timid and afraid, everyone says that she married and let her uncle bully, but who knows that her uncle has to bring her water and wash her feet in private, and she doesn't even dare to accept a room." ”

"Then you are the fifth lady in the picture?" Mother You hurriedly stopped laughing, but the corners of her eyes were still a little moist.

"It's not all, I heard that the five ladies are very strong, and they are the Langjun in the family, and they have been raised from outside the family since they were children." Yan Sui sighed faintly, "If it is really a strong character, then I don't know if my brother's career will be affected in the future." ”

Mother You couldn't help but feel a little sad when she saw Yan Sui urinating so much at a young age, if her wife could live until now, she wouldn't have to worry about her brother's affairs at such a young age. "Don't worry about the lady, didn't the eldest lady say that there are three daughters in the second house."

Unexpectedly, Yan Sui sneered, "This third daughter is a concubine, how can she be worthy of my brother." Although she hasn't seen Li Qiniang, she still knows a thing or two about her, no matter how her brother is, he is also from the Liu family, how can he marry a concubine.

Mother You let out a soft "ah", and saw that Yan Sui was deep in thought again, so she closed her mouth. sighed in his heart, I don't know which Langjun can be blessed to get such a shrewd and intelligent little lady.

……

As soon as she entered Biwuxuan, Wanhua twisted Shaohua to the side to ask, looked at her with a blank face, and said seriously: "Wu Niang, let me ask you, are you the brothers who have a crush on your uncle's family?" ”

Shaohua was stunned for a moment, and shook his head indifferently: "No." She didn't even know how many brothers her uncle's family had, so where did she come from.

"Then you and ...... Is the Qiu family's Langjun good? Wanhua tried to remember what suspicious candidates there were in the Pu'an family.

Shaohua smiled bitterly, where is this, there is indeed someone in her heart, but it is definitely something that Wanhua can't guess.

Suddenly thinking of his sweetheart, Shaohua suddenly felt a sour feeling in his heart, and he was not in the mood to argue with Wanhua. So he said: "Third sister, don't guess, if someone listens to me and misunderstands me, it's not good." I feel a little tired, and if my sister is fine, I'll go back first. With that, he saluted Wanhua, turned around and walked towards Cui's mother who was waiting on the side of the road.

Although these two round-trips are either sitting on a chariot or taking a car, it is already a great consumption for the current body.

She tried to accept the situation of this family, but she was somewhat more than willing to do it. is first an arrogant and proud sister, who speaks politely, and her hands and feet are not very clean, but she is favored by her father. Another in-law sister who doesn't know the source, seems innocent and lively, but Shaohua doesn't like her naked* naked look, and her eyes are close to people's eyes. But judging from the situation, it seems that he has a very close relationship with Dafang Bohm, and he is not good.

At this time, how she wished to return to northern Sichuan, where there was her beloved white land and sky. Whether it's riding a horse or singing, it's better than squirming and pinching with a group of big and small women in a house.

Cui's mother followed behind her, seeing that she was walking a little sloppily, hurriedly walked over, supported her half, and carried her back to the house.

As soon as Shaohua entered the house, he hurriedly ran to the bed, but was intercepted by Cui's mother before he was halfway. "Mother Cui, let me take a nap first, I'm really tired today."

Cui's mother was a little puzzled in her heart, these five ladies refused to say even a word before they said the first word last night. However, from this morning, it seems that she has changed someone, and even the Seventh Lady secretly made a bad mistake and was counterattacked by her. It stands to reason that she should applaud the performance of the fifth lady, the tiger father has a dog, although the second master Li Xunzhuo is not like a tiger at all, but like a bear, he is always easy to jump when he is in a hurry, so he can easily quarrel with the second lady.

Thinking a little far, Cui's mother helped Shaohua, who was crying and mourning, to the soft couch, called the maid to serve her tea, and rubbed her head gently, "You have drunk this tea, I will rub your body for you, and you won't be sleepy later." It's noon, and I'm about to eat, and now I'm going to sleep, and I'm going to get dizzy when I get to sleep. ”

"No, I don't sleep." She is clear about Cui's mother's strength, and she can hypnotize her in three or two clicks.

Cui's mother took the incense piece brought by the maid, and when she turned around, she saw Shaohua sitting up straight, with a serious look of holding her eyelids, and she couldn't help but smile.

"Fifth lady, it's not me saying you, this Li family is not as good as the Pu'an Ling family, I also came out of the Ling family, and I know the rules of the Ling family best. If it weren't for Old Lady Ling who spoiled you like this, you would definitely be punished in the Ling family. When Shaohua heard the punishment, he immediately shook his head, looked at Cui's mother suspiciously, and only listened to her habitual chatter: "Do you know who that little lady was just now?" That is the maiden niece of the eldest lady and the in-law of the Li family for generations. ”

"What is a generational in-law?" Shaohua picked up the teacup, raised his head and drank it, almost burning his mouth, so frightened that Cui's mother glared at her cup and quickly asked people to replace it with a cup of cool osmanthus water.

"Fifth lady, you really have a long memory, how can you rest assured that you will marry like this." Cui's mother said worriedly.

Shaohua just took half a mouthful of osmanthus water, and was choked by Cui's mother's words again, and endured it for a while before he didn't choke out, and his little face turned red. Seeing this, Cui's mother really wished that Shaohua still didn't talk or laugh, at least it wouldn't make her so frightened.

"Mother Cui, don't get in the way, you finish talking first." Why is it her turn to get married again, she's only thirteen years old now, isn't she, but the two who are about to kiss are Wanhua and Yan Sui, what does it have to do with her?

While giving Shaohua a good breath, she sighed helplessly: "Our Li family's roots are in Shanxi, and they are well-known local Jin merchants, and they are also generations of in-laws with the Liu family. It is said that the two ancestors once traveled westward together, met thieves halfway, and survived after life and death. Therefore, the heads of the two surnames have agreed to each other's in-laws, and they are now the sixth generation, and the fifth generation is the eldest lady and the eldest lord. Seeing Shaohua's eyes widen incredulously, Cui's mother glanced at her angrily, "You were really just now, what did you say about choosing your own husband, this year is not as good as at the beginning of the founding of the country, Mrs. Xuanjun is also a legendary person, that is what we can compare." ”

Although Mrs. Suan Jun is a native of the Central Plains, it is rumored that she died in northern Sichuan, so there is a place called Cloud Tomb in northern Sichuan today, which is said to be the tomb of Mrs. Suan.

But no matter what, this is the figure of the ancestors, and nowadays, it is indeed difficult to find a woman as brave and resolute as Mrs. Xuan.

"What does that have to do with me?" Shaohua picked up the cup and took a sip, but Cui's mother waited until she swallowed the saliva before she spoke. "This in-law relationship is not all about the Li family's wife marrying into the Liu family, or the Liu family's wife marrying into the Li family. Usually the clan has chosen their own people, and I heard that the Li family was ready to let the second master marry the lady of the Liu family, but somehow, he became the eldest master. ”

Speaking of this, Cui's mother also complained a little, when the Li family first came to the Ling family to propose marriage, although they did not say which Langjun they were talking for. But everyone knows that Li Xunzhuo is the choice of the Li family's in-laws, so it is naturally for the eldest son Li Liangxun, but unexpectedly, when it comes to the marriage, he has changed people. Old lady Ling didn't care, but the Ling family was very dissatisfied in his heart, and the difference between the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law was quite big. Moreover, the second son Li Xunzhuo only has the status of a lifter, and he does not follow the official ranks, which makes the Ling family shorter than the Liu family for no reason, not to mention the later children's scriptures.

Shaohua bit his lip and felt panicked in his heart, "Mother Cui, you are far away again." ”

Cui's mother patted her head and apologized repeatedly, "It's not much, I have to say it first." Just because the Li family has done well in Beijing in the past two years, the Liu family has also begun to be impatient in Beijing, especially after Dalang won the champion, the Liu family also wanted to be a first-class jinshi. Earlier, I heard the eldest lady say that there is a Langjun in the Liu family who wants to study in the autumn and wants to come to Beijing to study in advance. After glancing at Shaohua, he suppressed his voice and said: "This Liu family Langjun wants to be the in-law of this generation, and our Li family is the five ladies and you three sisters, do you think you can be left behind?" ”

Shaohua almost didn't let Cui's mother get dizzy, and after sorting out his thoughts, he said: "Brother Liu must be the same age as the third sister, isn't it just right." ”

"My stupid lady, the Liu family is so good, and there is support from the clan, if you can win a promotion, you will also be an official wife in the future." Cui's mother said that she felt that this marriage was very good, "Although the third lady is close, she has a fierce and stubborn temperament, and not ordinary Langjun can stand it." Besides, the second lady also has a candidate in her heart, and the rest is you and the seventh lady. Are you willing to give way, and the second lady is afraid that she will not be willing to give the seventh lady a gold sticker? ”

Shaohua felt even more aggrieved when he heard this, he was assigned to marry in his previous life, which is called the emperor's order cannot be violated. Now that she has finally escaped this catastrophe, she still has to marry her, or a generational in-law, so won't she have the opportunity to return to northern Sichuan in her life?
