Mrs. Li looked at the fragrant and attractive strawberries and small tomatoes, and thought in her heart that she would be kind to this concubine in the future, and maybe she could pass her and catch Miss Yu's line......

The ladies looked at the red fruits on the table, and the room fell silent for a while, and even the youngest Li Haoming didn't make a fuss about eating small tomatoes. At this time, Lord Li of Honglu Temple came in, and when he saw that it was lunch time, he had not put the dishes and cups on the table, showing a surprised expression.

Seeing the small tomatoes and strawberries on the table, Master Li's eyebrows and eyes stretched slightly, and he said with a smile: "I was lucky today, and I actually bought this rare item." Coincidentally, tomorrow, I invited a few former classmates. This rare fruit can come in handy. ”

Unexpectedly, when his youngest son Li Haoming heard this, he pouted unhappily: "Dad, these fruits were not sent by the servants who bought them in the kitchen." It was the fifth sister who went to Lord Yu's house as a guest, and they gave a gift in return!! ”

After speaking, he looked at his father with a blank eye, and wrote on his face: These fruits belong to the fifth sister, and you don't say hello to Dad, you take them, is it really good?

"Ru'er?" Master Li looked at the taciturn maid in surprise, but he didn't expect her to be able to catch up with Miss Yu and be lucky enough to receive a gift from others.

After listening to his daughter's explanation, he pondered for a moment and said: "Our ancestors are three generations up, and they are also from farming, so we must not rely on our own background to ridicule others!" Li Shilang's house is a negative example, remember! This Yu girl, who is so young, has made such achievements in farming, and she will definitely be reused by the emperor in the future. Since Ru'er is in her eyes, she should cooperate with others, and she can't rely on her own craftsmanship and no one in her eyes! ”

"Follow your father's teachings!" Li Mengru rarely had the opportunity to talk to her father on weekdays, let alone listen to his teachings, and she was quite excited.

Li Mengqi smiled: "Dad, what kind of character does my sister have, can you not know?" If she is arrogant, no matter how capable she is, Miss Yu may not be able to look down on her. When my daughter participated in the plum banquet a few days ago, I heard that Miss Yu would open a flower tea shop in the spring to sell peach blossom tea for beauty and beauty. Even if she doesn't have her sister's rouge gouache, she doesn't have to worry about losing business. ”

Master Li pondered for a moment and said, "Your ability to make rouge gouache is also a little bit of a fight on weekdays, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance - in this way, let your mother allocate some silver from the public to you, and if you need any materials, just ask your mother to speak." Take advantage of the gap before the opening of the shop, practice more, don't miss the matter of Miss Yu! ”

"Yes! Thank you, Dad! Li Mengru was a little restrained, but her expression showed a happy look. If there are high-quality materials, she firmly believes that she can make a rouge gouache that is more natural and excellent than Fu Yuan Chun.

Seeing that her daughter was so well-behaved and obedient, the worry in Lord Li's heart was slightly alleviated. Looking at the children in the house, he felt a little proud in his heart - the children are obedient and sensible, and they will never do anything like the girl of Li Shilang's family to cause trouble for the family!

The eldest son is only ten years old, he is already familiar with poetry and books, and after passing the children's examination, he will take a career in the future. The younger son is lively and intelligent, although the qualitative is not as strong as the eldest son, but he is not stupid. Mrs. is virtuous and generous, people often say that "a virtuous wife and a husband have few misfortunes", and the ancients did not deceive me! Didn't Li Shilang become the laughing stock of Beijing because his wife was short-sighted and spoiled his daughter to heaven?

"Ahem......" Master Li looked at the precious fruits on the table, there were strawberries at this time? It's just that Miss Yu's house can easily take out such a rare fruit to give away, right? He glanced at Li Mengru and asked a little unnaturally, "Ru'er, how do you plan to arrange these fruits?" ”

Although Li Mengru has a weak temperament, she is not stupid, she heard the words and hurriedly said: "Listen to my father's instructions......"

"There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to be formal. In my father's heart, you, like Qi'er, Ming'er, and Yu'er, are all good sons and daughters of your father! Lord Li raised this inconspicuous concubine to the same status as his son, which shows that he attaches great importance to this matter.

Mrs. Li was the best at understanding her husband's intentions, and said busily: "Ru'er has no aunt since she was a child, and she is a sensible and well-behaved person, I pity her very much." Master, it's better to keep Ru'er in my name, and I can have a good future in my marriage in the future! ”

"Just do as Madame says!" Master Li admired Mrs. Madame's generosity and reasonableness, and valued her a little more.

Li Mengru couldn't believe her ears, what a great honor it was for the children of the concubine to be recorded in the name of her wife. In other words, in the future, she will be the same as her sister and her younger brothers......

She couldn't help crying with joy and thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you mother for carrying your ...... love"

The smile on Li Mengqi's face did not change, and said, "In the future, I will have another sister-in-law!" We are close in age, and we will be closer in the future. Mother, the Qinglan Garden next door to me is still empty, so it's better to let Sister Ru move over, and it's more convenient for our sisters to come and go. ”

"Good! Just do what Qi'er says! Naturally, Mrs. Li would not refute her daughter's wishes.

At this time, Master Li pointed to the two fruits on the table, and in the nervous expression of his youngest son, he made a decision: "These two fruits are indeed rare, if my father takes them all, it will inevitably sweep everyone's interest." So be it! Leave half of each as an after-dinner fruit at noon! Ru'er, from now on, you will stay in the main courtyard and eat with your mother! ”

Without waiting for Li Mengru to respond, Li Haoming had already let out a cheer, asked his subordinates to take the plate, and took half of the small bamboo basket with his own hands.

Li Mengru felt like a dream on this day. First of all, Lord Yu, who was in the limelight, was invited to the house and signed a contract for cooperative business. was valued by his father and mother again, and inexplicably jumped from a concubine to a concubine recorded in his wife's name!

Just when the family in the mansion of Lord Li of Honglu Temple was enjoying small tomatoes and strawberries, in the mansion of General Zhongqin Bofang, Wang Yangjun was holding a piece of red fox skin and gesturing on Yu Xiaocao's body.

"These fire fox fur is the most warm. The winter in Beijing is no better than Tanggu, dry and cold. You take it to make a sweater, and go back and forth between the capital and the Huangzhuang every day, without wearing warmer, how can you do it? ”

Mrs. Fang looked at the boxes of top-notch skins in the hall with a smile, and was a little more satisfied with the king of Yangjun in her heart. Originally, she noticed that King Yangjun had thoughts about her twelve-year-old daughter, and she was against it. In the early years, the "fierce name" of King Yangjun spread in Beijing, which was more terrifying than the legendary fierce beast, and it was uncontrollable.

Her girl is delicate and soft, and if the king of Yangjun breaks out, she won't even have the slightest ability to protect herself. She would rather choose a gentle and reliable man for her daughter with an ordinary family background than her daughter to fall into the tiger's mouth.

can be observed for a period of time, King Yangjun is cold and cold to others, but to her grass, as soft as a tamed horse. Bickering, contradiction, ridicule, and even giving him a look, the well-behaved and sensible daughter is a little willful from time to time in front of King Yangjun. It's like a mischievous cat that teases a loyal giant dog with its paws. The giant dog can swallow the little cat with one mouth, but when the paws scratch its face, it is reluctant to bare its teeth at the kitten, and let her do whatever she wants.

In recent years, the murderous reputation of King Yangjun has not been as prosperous as it used to be. Especially in the past two years, King Yangjun has never injured anyone by mistake, and the fierce beast in his heart seems to have been tamed. The emperor valued him more and more, and he was able to complete the errand to the satisfaction of the above every time. Even when she was away on an errand, King Yangjun was always thinking about her daughter. Just like this temporary decision to send him to the frontier for reinforcements, in the gap between battles, I still remember to buy skins for Xiaocao for the winter.

This house full of top-quality skins is really something that money can't buy in Beijing. Rushing to this friendship, Mrs. Fang's heart couldn't help but loosen a lot.

When she came back to her senses, she could only hear her daughter's dissatisfied complaint: "Such a red color, it's okay to make a scarf or hat, if you make a sweater, isn't it like a red envelope, red from head to toe?" ”

"What's the red notice? It's almost the New Year, how festive is red? When you wear it, it definitely looks like a female doll on a New Year's painting, and it's cute! "King Yangjun is on the side, and he is persuading in a good voice!

Yu Xiaocao was unmoved, frowned and looked at the fire fox fur, shook his head, and said, "What kind of aesthetic do you have?" Guys, you know what! Let's make a cloak! The neckline and sides are trimmed with a circle of white fox fur. This is my biggest concession!! ”

"Cao'er, how did you talk to King Yangjun? People give you skins, it's also kind! Mrs. Fang was afraid that the king of Yangjun would be unhappy, so she hurriedly scolded her.

Zhu Junyang pouted unhappily when he saw Xiaocao, and said busily: "It's okay, I'm used to her like this!" If she is polite to the master, the master is not used to it! Mrs. Fang, this box of skins is for you and General Fang, you can put it away and see if there is anything that needs to be added? ”

Yes, I thought she was in the way, and she sent people away! Mrs. Fang was helpless, so she left Linglong behind, and gave a few girls under Xiaocao a "smart" look. There are so many maids here, it's not a lot of melons and plums!

After the "eye-catching" elders left, Zhu Junyang staged a "head touching kill", gently rubbed the top of the little girl's head, smiled extremely gently, and the lethality index of the handsome face broke the table: "These two boxes are picked for you, you can do whatever you like." Ye just came back from the battlefield, and he didn't come to quarrel with you. You girl, why are you like a fighting all day long, full of fighting spirit? This little bad temper, except for the master, who can tolerate you? ”

Yu Xiaocao was a little embarrassed by him. A few days ago, there was no news from King Yangjun, she was worried all day long, and no matter how delicious the food was, she didn't feel fragrant. The little face that was originally raised by the godmother has also returned to its original melon seed face.

On the last day of 2017, I wish you a happy New Year's Day in advance......
