Chapter 30: The Idea of Becoming a Princess

It just so happened that Mrs. Chen's house held a banquet this time, and the second lady Liu planned to take Li Luobing out with her.

For her move, Mama Liu and Li Luoxia were very puzzled.

"Mother, you took me out before, why did you take Li Luobing there this time? You don't know, now she is in the limelight with her grandmother, and her grandmother is very good to her. She's competing with me everywhere right now. She's smarter now, and if you take her out, maybe she'll take away my name as a talented woman. Li Luoxia was very dissatisfied with her mother's actions.

The second lady Liu frowned, she didn't think about this question: "Luo Xia, don't you have confidence in your piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?" Even if Li Luobing doesn't want to be a rabbit now, she still can't compare to you in this regard, and naturally she won't take away your light, so don't worry! ”

"Mother, did you really let her go out to see the world? Is it to marry a good man? I really can't figure out how my cousin suddenly has a soft spot for her. ”

"Your mother and I naturally don't want her to see the world, but you also know that your father is coming back, and he can catch up with your ceremony. At least until he returns, I'm going to pretend to show your father that I haven't treated his daughter badly. ”

"Oh, mother, so that's it!" Li Luoxia nodded, expressing understanding, she looked at her mother's appearance again, she stretched out her hand and pulled Liu's arm and shook it: "Mother, I don't understand, why do you want to marry your father?" My uncle is now Liu Shangshu, but what about the big official of Sanpin, and why father? But it's still a seven-rank official? If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have had to work so hard to practice those pianos, chess, calligraphy and paintings to gain a good reputation. ”

A faint look flashed in the eyes of the second lady Liu, which soon disappeared, there was still a smile in her eyes, she stretched out her hand to touch her daughter's head, and said with a smile, "Hard work for my daughter, don't worry, as long as you work hard, my mother will definitely find a good husband for you, this time you have to dress up well, this time Mrs. Chen held a banquet, I heard that several princes will also come, what about you, perform well at the banquet, maybe my daughter can still be a princess." ”

"Mother, I know!" Li Luoxia lowered her head shyly, her ears were red, and when she thought that her talent could enter the eyes of the prince and become a princess, her heart kept pounding, even if she was not a princess, she was very satisfied.

As soon as she thought of that possibility, she couldn't wait to get married immediately, she pushed away the second lady Liu, and ran out with a smile: "Okay, mother, I'll go and prepare well." All of a sudden, she forgot about Li Luobing, her number one imaginary enemy.

The second lady Liu watched Li Luoxia's figure walk out, and Mama Liu walked in with her back feet, and asked with worry on her face: "Madam, now that you take the third lady out, aren't you afraid that her wings will be harder?" Now she uses the old lady as a backer, and the old lady is also vaguely aimed at you, I am afraid that in the future...... Coupled with the last time she was captured by human traffickers, I'm afraid that she will do it to you, Madame. ”

"Afraid of what? Did Kumquat tell her? ”

Mama Liu was stunned: "No, the kumquat is dead." ”

"That's it, this matter is over, she doesn't know that it was you and me."

"But ......"

"She's just a fifteen-year-old girl, no matter how smart she is, her experience is there, can she still turn it out of my palm?" The second lady Liu disagreed: "The second master is coming back, no matter what, he is now my reliance, I naturally can't be too harsh on his only daughter." When the time comes, he will be disgusted with me, but it is not good. I just took this opportunity to take Li Luobing out for a circle, indicating that I didn't do anything to his daughter. ”

Mama Liu nodded, and did not say anything about the phrase "the only daughter" in the words of the second lady Liu, and seemed to have a deep understanding of it.

"Besides, he Li Guangyi, who only has so many daughters, is embarrassed for him, and he can be regarded as wronged by him." The second lady Liu hooked the corners of her mouth and sat down elegantly.

"Madame's foresight!"

"Okay, you go down and choose a good gift for Mrs. Chen."

"Yes, ma'am!" Mama Liu left.

The eldest lady Mo knew that the second lady took Li Luobing to attend Mrs. Chen's banquet together, and her mind suddenly became flexible: Li Luoxia was liked by the old lady because the second lady Liu often took her to banquets and was famous outside. The old lady thought that she would definitely marry a good man, so she liked her so much. If...... My daughter also attended such a banquet, maybe I can find a good in-law's house.

Before, the second lady relied on her brother's relationship with the third-grade official Shangshu, and she could participate in many high-level banquets, but she didn't have the opportunity to participate, who made her mother's family not prominent enough for the second lady, and she couldn't even get an invitation.

This time, since the second lady took Li Luobing to go, her daughter can also go.

His daughter's appearance is quite handsome, and she is in the mood for love, if she is really fancied......

Thinking of this, she hurriedly went to greet the old lady, and said to the old lady what she thought in her heart: "Old lady, you know that my family's Luo Jiao is now fifteen years old, and she looks not bad, no matter how she says it, she is also a concubine, worthy of others, it is better to ...... How about also letting the second lady take her to that Mrs. Chen's banquet? Maybe her appearance will be liked by dignitaries. married a good husband, and also got a good boost for Jinlan. ”

"You're right, Luo Jiao is also fifteen years old."

"Yes, old lady, you know Mrs. Chen. The people who attended her banquet were all high-ranking officials and nobles, and I heard that even the prince and prince went. If Luo Jiao fell into the eyes of nobles, wouldn't it be better. ”

The old lady's cloudy eyes also lit up, yes. There are still a few concubines in the house, even if they can't marry and become the concubines of high-ranking officials and nobles, they can be regarded as having a little light with them, and their grandson's career will be better.

She nodded, feeling that the eldest lady Mo's idea was good, and gave the eldest lady a positive answer. As soon as she turned around, she sent Jin Cui to summon the second lady Liu and instructed, "Liu, since you are going to attend Mrs. Chen's banquet. And the daughters of the Li family are all of the right age. You can bring all the daughters of our Li family. ”

Second Lady Liu frowned: "Old lady, this ...... Unruly. ”

"Why is it not in order?" The old lady was a little annoyed, she had always been tired of seeing Liu's appearance high in front of her mother-in-law, wasn't her brother a third-grade official? No matter how powerful she is, she is not her daughter-in-law? It is natural for a daughter-in-law to honor her mother-in-law and obey her mother-in-law's instructions, but she is disrespectful to herself again and again.

"Mrs. Chen and I are just personal friends, and it is understandable that I took my daughter to her banquet. And the banquets she organized were all dignitaries and nobles in the capital, and my Luoxia was used to such things, and she would not offend any nobles when she went to the banquet. But...... The other girls in the Li Mansion, I'm afraid they have never been to a banquet like that. At the meeting, they were dazzled, or accidentally said the wrong thing, offending the dignitaries! ”

"How should that be? You must know that now the uncle is just a small six-grade official, who offended those people and blew the wind on the pillow, but even the official was lost, and the gains outweighed the losses. The second lady Liu replied quietly, as if she didn't care about the old lady's anger at all.

Hearing Liu's official position, the old lady was angry, Liu was clearly Liu Shangshu's sister-in-law, married to his second son, and gave birth to a daughter, and then not a single egg was born, and now the second son only has two daughters. Forget if there are no heirs, she still has an eldest son. The eldest son's side is not bad.

However, she didn't even help her husband, not even her uncle, the eldest son and the second son have been sitting in this level of official position for so many years, and they just didn't move their positions, how could she like this daughter-in-law?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sarcastically say: "Liu, I want to ask you, over the years, my son has been good to you, right?" But over the years, why hasn't your body moved? ”

Liu's face sank, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, mother-in-law is talking about this matter?

Seeing Liu's face change, the old lady was no longer annoyed, not in a hurry, and began to say slowly: "Forget if you don't move, those concubines of Guangyi, none of them have children, and even if they do, they are lost because of accidents." Don't take my mother-in-law for a fool, there are some things I don't say, even if it's an investigation, nothing can be investigated. But that doesn't mean I don't know anything! The inside story, I'm sure you know it yourself. ”

"Old lady, I ......"

"Liu!" The old lady interrupted what Liu was about to say, and spoke again: "I won't worry about this matter with you for the time being, just talk about the incident just now." How about letting you bring all the young ladies of the Li Mansion to Mrs. Chen's banquet? You have such a good personal relationship with Mrs. Chen? Could it be that you have an opinion on this little thing? Besides, yes, the young lady of the Li Mansion has never participated in any banquets of dignitaries. ”

"They don't know some taboos, so they need Liu to teach them slowly, I believe they will obey Liu's orders, they won't cause trouble for you, let alone cause trouble for Guangqi and Guangyi, you will definitely take a good look at them." Right? Liu? ”

Liu knew that this old lady was indeed embarrassed because of Li Guangyi's heir, so she had to nod helplessly and said: "Old lady, don't worry, I will take them out to see the world this time, and I will also restrain them and prevent them from causing trouble to the eldest and second masters." ”
