25 Chapter 25
In fact, Lishu was very reluctant to her mother, she was reborn, and the happiest thing was not to change her fate, but to change the fate of her mother. At the same time, she also knows very well that Xiao Fu loves her very much, so she thinks about the long term for her.
It is precisely because of long-term consideration that Liu Chengxu is not from Hanlin, and I am afraid that this time he will return to Beijing to take up his post, and he will have to be released. She herself is ready to follow the release, but her daughter can't follow her around, obviously staying in Jingzhong, staying with the old lady is the best, so Lishu doesn't want to and can't help it.
For a while, someone outside had a message to Mrs. Xu: "The fifth girl is here." ”
Mrs. Xu's smile didn't seem to be fake, and she pointed outside and said to everyone: "She went out with her father yesterday to see the lanterns in Shilipo outside the city, because it was too late, so she simply came back early this morning, saying that she couldn't sleep on the Zhuangzi, I saw that she was not in good spirits, and she was afraid of ruining everyone's fun, so let her rest for a while and change her clothes and come back." ”
Everyone saw a little girl in a red shirt come in, and as soon as she came in, she greeted the old lady and the elders, and then lay on Mrs. Xu's knee to be coquettish.
Xiao Fu and Fu took out the gift again, Xiao Fu gave a pair of arm gold, this arm gold can be worn no matter how fat or thin, probably Xiao Fu didn't know how Li Zhensheng was, so he chose this as a gift. Lishu also knew that this was purchased by Xiao Fu's money, and I am afraid that she took out all the silver coins at the bottom of the box.
Unlike Xiao Fu, Fu's casual shots are exquisite, and what she took out was a pair of gold-encrusted gemstone double dragon play bead bracelets, especially the delicacy of the double dragon play beads is breathtaking.
Mrs. Xu said, "Zhen'er, I don't want to thank your second aunt and third aunt. ”
Lizhen thanked her again, and the old lady also liked Lizhen very much, hugged her and rubbed her in her arms, and ordered: "Pass the dinner." ”
In this way, the aunts went down first, and the aunts sat at one table with the old lady, and the other table belonged to the girls. Mrs. Xu entered the soup, Fu's rice, Xiao Fu's Anzhen, and her daughter-in-law's cloth vegetables during the period, Lishu did not observe everyone, and knew the rules of eating without saying anything to Zhu Mama, so it was just Mama Rice, anyway, she was already hungry.
After finishing the meal, someone brought fragrant tea to rinse her mouth, Lishu was speechless, I heard that this tea was very expensive yesterday, but I didn't expect that Liufu was only used to rinse her mouth.
The ladies were eating elsewhere, and they went down first, and when Xiao Fu was leaving, he nodded with Lishu, signaling her not to be afraid, and Lishu couldn't help but bow her head.
The sisters sat down in order, and Lishu observed that the old lady was actually an old woman, wearing a homely shirt and a coral rice bead double-strand hairpin on her head.
Coral red appears less dull.
Sure enough, the old lady smiled and said, "I heard that you are all studying? ”
Lijia immediately passed: "Daddy said let's read more "The Biography of the Daughters" and "The Four Books of Women", and it is enough to recognize a few words. ”
The old lady agreed: "Women's virtue comes first, and talent comes second." ”
The sisters all nodded, and the old lady did not despise Liwan Lirou because she was a concubine, and when asked how they played the glowing yin, Liwan also replied very standardly: "It's just to do some needlework with the big sister." ”
Lishu thought to herself, now it's okay, they've all finished answering, what do they answer.
She couldn't remember how she answered in her previous life, she was too young at that time, and all she could remember was some big things.
"Where's the three girls? I think the mama who followed you before was very good. The old lady meant something.
Lishu smiled: "That is Mama Zhu, when my mother went to Lianxi Nunnery to burn incense, I got acquainted with Chi Nuguan, I heard that the female crown made my mother do me a favor." She saw that my mother was pregnant and couldn't take care of me, so she asked this grandmother to teach me some rules. ”
For Lishu, all the family affection is not as good as the word Li.
Just like a family, it is often the long and upright, and the talented are more valued. Although Lishu was a little flattered by the old lady's preference for her for a while, she never lost her mind.
As long as Xiao Fu is useful, the old lady will value her.
As we all know, the little Fu family is a concubine, and the Fu family's attitude towards her is almost completely ignored without looking at it, not as much as the Fu family, and the mother has no backing, but if it is closely related to the Chi family, this is the mother's bargaining chip.
"Oh, it's the Chi family." The old lady said this, and seeing that Lishu's words were clear, she couldn't help but say: "Today, you will stay with me, sleep in the west room first, and have a good night's sleep." ”
After that, the old lady looked at the rest of the girls and said, "Don't be jealous, the eldest girl and the second girl are big girls, and you have to go out and walk around on weekdays, and it is inconvenient for them to go smaller." Besides, Lirou looks at some of her weak bones, so she wants your wife to ask a better doctor to recuperate first. ”
Lijia is ten years old, Liwan is also eight years old, the girls of the official eunuch family can go out and walk around at this age, and the major poetry clubs and banquets can go out and walk around, if they look at each other for a year and a half, it is cumbersome to marry on both sides, therefore, the meaning of what the old lady said Lijia and Liwan understood at once.
And Lirou is too young and cringe, the old lady is not an old mother, of course, let her take care of herself, and Lizhen does not need to say that she is the only daughter under the knee of the eldest aunt, looking at the eldest uncle's love for her so much, how can he let the only daughter live with the old lady.
Of course, Lishu didn't recognize the old lady in her heart, and she was really chosen by God's side.
It's just that Lishu hurriedly got up and saluted: "Shu'er will bother the old lady." ”
"That's so polite." The old lady smiled.
The sisters left with interest, and the old lady assigned two more people to serve by her side, these two people were about thirteen or fourteen years old, and they were originally second-class girls who served the old lady, one was called Shui Zhi, and the other was called Shui Yun.
Lishu's cage has been delivered, and Danhong whispered to her: "Our lady heard that the old lady gave you two more girls, and specially sealed a few purses for you to reward, as well as a bag of broken silver, and the slave maid put a goose-yellow purse, and you take it from where you usually reward people." ”
The mother can think of her whenever and wherever she is, Lishu's heart warmed, and she said to Danhong: "You tell your mother to let her take good care of herself and take care of her brother, and everything is fine with the old lady." ”
"Okay." Dan Hong hurried back to his life.
And Lishu in the maids after freshening up, change into bedclothes, the bed has not known when it was laid, now after the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather is not cold, so Shui Zhi took a bed quilt, the fabric does not know what it is, but it is extremely comfortable.
She originally wanted to take a good look at it, but when she lay down, she actually fell asleep.
She was asleep, but it was difficult for the Liu family and the others to fall asleep tonight.
The first one was Fu Shi's, when she came back from the old lady, the Fu family had already sent Mrs. Fu's confidant and grandmother to have a good conversation, and sent two more girls from Mrs. Fu's side over.
These two people are charming and delicate in their lives, Fu Shi let her go down first, and only the other person is really at the order of Mrs. Fu, and she is also straight to the point.
"Auntie, my wife has learned about your situation from the letter, and she is very worried about you."
Fu Shi smiled bitterly: "It's all mine, it's not that I have to worry about my mother at a great age, Jin Hai, I have already married, and I should have honored my mother." ”
Jin Hai is a person who can be used under Mrs. Fu, she is eighteen years old this year, and she is thoughtful and proper, if it were not for her daughter, she would not have sent her over, so she felt that Fu's situation was very bad.
"The slave thinks that as long as you live well, this is the greatest filial piety. Yes, now the second aunt (Xiao Fu) has given birth to a son, and she intends to compete for favor, but the relationship between you and your uncle is definitely stronger than her, don't be afraid. Jin Hai first relieved her heart.
Fu Shi bowed his head, but shook his head again: "Having said that, everyone in the back house is not as good as her now." I am the main room, how can I surrender my identity to compete for favor. ”
Fu Shi was embarrassed to talk about competing for favor in front of others, that was because he was shameless.
Seeing that Fu Shi was still so tight-mouthed and unwilling to open her heart, Yulan became anxious: "Jin Hai, the second miss is different now than when she was in her mother's house." Originally, a few years ago, the old man turned a deaf ear to her, and she was also afraid of it, we saw that she was so sensible, and the young lady was very good to her, and often told us that the eldest young master would respect her in the future. But she wore a white dress with her backhand, and she seduced the master pitifully, and sued Diao, saying that our wife treated the three girls harshly. I'm surprised, our young lady does things according to the rules, all according to the children in this family, Aunt Ding's daughter and the fourth girl have nothing to do, why is the third girl hot and prickly. ”
Jin Hai also felt that it was impossible for the Fu family to be harsh on the little Fu family, she was not such a person, if she really wanted to harm the little Fu family, would she wait until now?
Therefore, she absolutely believed Yulan's words: "Also, since this time, my aunt no longer believes in our aunt's wife?" ”
"That's not true, it's just that I think my uncle must have a grudge in his heart, and it just so happened that when my uncle solved the case, he said that the second lady could help her find the prisoner by painting, and then he arrested several prisoners. She can go out at any time, maybe this will fatten her appetite, it just so happened that Aunt Su harmed her, and Mother Rao and Yuping complained about our girl, but the master thought that they framed the second lady and were kicked out. "Magnolia Road.
But what Jin Hai knew was not like this: "I heard that Rao's mother and Yuping are going to frame her for having a miscarriage, is it true?" ”
Yulan avoided answering this, but blindly distinguished: "Miss Jinchai, do you know that Aunt Su also sent her clothes with acne sores?" Then why didn't she deal with Aunt Sue? That's because she knew from the beginning that what she wanted was her aunt's only wife, Aunt Su was not worth mentioning, and she wanted to deal with our young lady from the beginning. ”
This is also very reasonable, Jin Hai looked at Fu Shi, Fu Shi sighed: "At that time, I was immersed in the news of Shu Zhao's death, and I was discouraged at all, I didn't know that it would become like this." I never wanted to fight for anything. ”
Jin Hai hit the nail on the head and said: "Madame knows that you are like this, saying that you have never suffered at home before, how can you understand the methods of those little mothers who raise ghosts." It's a pity, if you don't fight, others may not fight? You are Mrs. Zheng, but you have been squeezed out to nest in the backyard, ten years and eight years are fine, I say a word that should not be said, I am afraid that the marriage of the cousin will also be hindered at that time. ”
Yulan answered: "It's not just that, this time I came back from Jiujiang, and the suffocating cabin where our wife lived looked better than those two aunts, but it was only for the lord to see, in fact, that's it." Also, we just came back from our Mrs. Tai, saying that Mrs. Tai is going to raise the third girl under her knees, if it weren't for the fourth young master being too young, she would also want to raise the old man by her side. Look at it, this is really a dove occupying the magpie's nest step by step! ”
I didn't expect the old lady of the Liu family to turn so quickly, Jin Hai frowned: "I remember that the third girl was only six years old, right?" What is her temperament. "It's not a good thing to have her in front of Mrs. Liu.
"Although she is young, she has a very sharp mouth, and the city is quite deep, and she does not look like a little girl who is more than six years old. Today it was she who played tricks in front of the old lady, so that the old lady valued the third lady and let her pass our lady. "Magnolia Road.
Jin Hai looked at Fu Shi: "When will the general master come on weekdays?" ”
In any case, she had to be allowed to see her uncle, so that she could know the right medicine.
But seeing Fu Shi embarrassed, he said: "He has been in the future for a long time." ”
"Haven't you been here once?" Jin Hai was shocked.
Fu nodded: "It's not just me here, but Aunt Su and Aunt Ding don't go either." ”
The special room is the only pet, Jin Hai glanced at Fu, this is very difficult. But she was not discouraged, and first persuaded: "The slave maid serves you on weekdays, and then observe the method, now you eat the recipe first, this recipe was given to her by the lady's mother, so she was able to give birth to five sons and one daughter." ”
Fu nodded slowly.
Compared to Fu's strong support, Mrs. Xu rubbed her face with her hands, her face was stiff with a smile today, she and her husband had long respected each other like ice, and in the early years, when she came every month, he would comfort her and say that it didn't matter. The husband and wife are really working hard, compared to the two big things of the second uncle, her backyard is very quiet, and no one can shake her position.
But it has slowly changed, especially after giving birth to Lizhen, in the past five or six years, their husband and wife have only completed official duties, without the slightest tenderness and sweetness, and even this year their husband and wife have not had different rooms, if it were not for Lizhen, the husband and wife could maintain the surface in front of outsiders, and the rest was mostly her living alone in this big courtyard.
Cold, except for the subordinates.
Today, I don't know how to see Xiao Fu's relaxed demeanor, and his eyebrows are calm and relaxed, but Fu is uneasy. The human situation is really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. The little Fu family is just a concubine who is not favored, because she is a little similar to the Fu family, she was selected as a continuation to marry her mother's family, when the main lord came back, Mrs. Xu was a little poor little Fu, but now that she gave birth to a son and was favored, it seemed that there was no sorrow.
"Lizhen is asleep, right?" She asked casually.
The maid Pan'er hurriedly said: "Sister is sleeping in the blue yarn cupboard!" ”
Mrs. Xu smiled: "This girl is a lack of heart, I see that the girls in the second room have 800 hearts, but she is so innocent." ”
Pan'er said: "It's not because the situation in the second room is complicated, there are two of them, and the concubine is not a fuel-efficient lamp." It's like our girl, this is called innocence, it's a good thing. ”
"What kind of innocence is born to not want to do things. She is open-minded and cheerful by nature, so she will always live freely. "Mrs. Xu thinks there's nothing wrong with her daughter.
She was just a little envious of Xiao Fu: "You said how she was so lucky, she gave birth to a white fat boy, and she liked it when she saw the old lady's appearance." ”
Pan'er persuaded: "These three wives also got this son after an interval of five or six years, maybe you can have a son this year." ”
These words made Mrs. Xu feel bored, but she suddenly said, "How do you think I passed on the fourth brother?" He's still so young, just a milk baby, and I'm raising it, and he's not my son. ”
Pan'er said in her heart for so many years, others persuaded her wife, but she just coped, but she didn't think about the succession at all. Now that she has taken the initiative, she has really figured it out.
As a girl, of course, she unconditionally supports any ideas of her master, "You used to like Young Master Shuzhao, but he was already sensible, and he wouldn't be close to us in the end, so it's good to choose the fourth brother now." ”
Although Mrs. Xu still hopes to give birth to one herself, she thinks that it will not lose one first, and if she has another one, she will return it to the second room.
She didn't think that Xiao Fu would refuse.
And Xiao Fu has already regretted it, she even has red circles in her eyes: "I just can't bear Lishu, she looks sensible, but she is still a child." She likes to kick the quilt when she sleeps at night, likes to drink cold water on weekdays, and does things competitively. If it goes on like this, how can it be good? I regret it. ”
Although she is twenty years old this year, Xiao Fu's crying nose is red, her green silk is scattered in her ears, her hair is fluffy, her face is small, and she looks pitiful.
Liu Chengxu hugged her into his arms: "How can you be like a child." Okay, okay, I'll figure it out again, how? Bring it back from the old lady. He still felt that Xiao Fu was very real in his heart, and she felt that it was of course good for her daughter to be raised by an old lady, but at the same time, between the powerful and rich and her daughter, she still chose her daughter.
"Really?" Xiao Fu struggled out of his arms, very surprised.
Liu Chengxu nodded: "This is still false, I will definitely not regret it if I agree, you just wait for my good news." ”
Xiao Fu looked at him with admiration, Liu Chengxu was sometimes very glad that he finally realized his heart.
The next morning, Lishu woke up very early, she didn't know that her mother wanted to take her back, but she was a little lost when she got up, because at this time on weekdays, her mother would come to the bed early and sometimes feed her.
From a delicate baby to an old lady, she took a deep breath, and it was better to be sensible here. The old lady raised her under her knees, so that she was sensible and well-behaved, not to see her coquettish, that was for her own mother.
Shui Zhi put on her shoes, Li Shu suddenly remembered something, and asked, "I just came to the old lady's place, Sister Shui Zhi, I don't know what rules are here?" ”
Shui Zhi said lightly: "There are no big rules, just serve the old lady on weekdays and have her own subordinates to serve." ”
"Oh, I see. Eh, by the way, I saw a girl holding a dog when I entered the door yesterday, is she a girl who specializes in raising dogs? Always kept a dog for my grandmother. Lishu asked with pretended interest.
Shui Zhi raised his head and smiled meaninglessly: "You are talking about tassels, she only came last year, and she came here to serve the dog well." Originally, she was working in the dining room, at that time, the old lady had just come from Huguang and had a poor appetite, and it happened that the old lady's maiden nephew sent a few Yellow River carp over, so she made a sweet and sour Yellow River carp to make the old lady show her face. Therefore, she was transferred to the old lady's kitchen, and she didn't know where to pick up a snow-white dog. ”
When Lishu heard this, she said in her heart, this Aunt Ying, no, the current tassel is indeed doing well.
When she finished listening, she said other things, Shui Zhi was only curious about her child, Shui Yun knew that the old lady sent them to serve the three girls, and she would definitely serve them in the future, and she intended to say her best words to Lishu.
"It's just that this tassel is not very good-tempered, and she worshiped her godmother early in the dining room, relying on her godmother's momentum, and bullying several little girls who went into the dining room to wash vegetables together." Shui Yun is the granddaughter of Wei's mother, and she has a peaceful temperament and is not presumptuous, so she doesn't like the kind of person who is too strong in combat.
knew how to go in and find a backer, find a backer and immediately deal with people who have an enmity with her, and then work hard to get ahead.
It's no wonder that such a person has already mixed up with the old lady when he is only ten years old.
As soon as they finished speaking, they saw someone coming in outside the door, not Ying Tassel, who came in with a few delicate small dots in her hand, it turned out that she had sent them at the order of the old lady.
"You've thanked my grandmother for me, has she already had breakfast?" Lishu asked the tassel with a smile.
Tassel saw the little girl in front of her with clear eyes, she had always been conceited and beautiful, but she didn't expect to see the third girl's outstanding appearance, she smelled a similar atmosphere.
Probably no Lishu had lived in the old lady's house in her previous life, and her mother often didn't come out, so she rarely came to say goodbye.
How Aunt Ying got to her father's room, she really didn't know.
After Lishu understands it, she doesn't care too much, especially the so-called father's men and women, she has her own set of opinions. Men who want to steal and steal joy can't be stopped, and they can't blame women.
Just like Fu and the people around him, they always feel that it was Xiao Fu who robbed Liu Chengxu of his favor, but if Liu Chengxu didn't have that mind, would it be so?
Therefore, if Aunt Ying is just competing for favor, she doesn't care, but if she harms others, she will definitely deal with her.
Tassel replied: "The old lady is using it, and it happens to be a day off, and the eldest and second masters are there to accompany me, so I will send it to you." ”
Daddy and uncle were at the old lady's, and Lishu said that she knew, and the tassel quit very well.
Mrs. Liu is very particular about her daily life and diet, and in the morning she eats very light, japonica rice porridge boiled with red dates and longan, accompanied by pickled bamboo shoots and a plate of fried golden quail eggs, as well as pickled venison.
Liu Chengxu has been a foreign official for many years, but he eats bohemianly, and when he eats the deer leg, he directly tears it with his hands and eats it.
"Here, there are wind-pickled civets here, you can also take them and eat them." Mrs. Liu felt very sorry for her son.
This son is very stubborn, he was a prodigy when he was young, and later he was admitted to the Jinshi at a young age. Of course, it was because of his father's reason that he was released, but in the final analysis, he was young and vigorous.
So, Mrs. Liu said: "I heard that your Yu Ren scolded the emperor for ignoring the government in the same year, and now I'm afraid it's not very good." ”
Originally, Liu Chengxu wanted to talk about Lishu, but as soon as he heard this, he hurriedly asked, his brother Liu Chengzong was working in Jinyiwei, Liu Chengzong said: "Yu Ren originally commented on the affairs of Dali Temple, and the future is very good, probably because the emperor has not been to the court for half a year, and he came out to admonish." As a minister, how can he publicize the mistakes of the monarch, fortunately, the emperor left the excerpt in the middle, and there is the first assistant to help speak, I am afraid that there will be a disaster of killing the head. ”
Liu Chengxu hurriedly said: "I know Brother Yu, he is a loyal and patriotic, honest and outspoken person, he only talked to me a few words, but he scattered all the money he brought with him, and treated me for his illness, no, I will go to the ministry later, and then go to his house." ”
Liu Chengzong persuaded: "I think it's a good thing to be deposed, and after a year and a half, wouldn't it be good for you to take care of him again, but now if you go like this, you will hit the muzzle of the gun." ”
"And so it is." But Liu Chengxu was not at ease after all, and asked Chang An to go to Yu's house to see what the situation was.
Yu Ren is also the son of an official eunuch, his father is the official to the right of the imperial history, and he has also served as a minister for many years, and he belongs to the leader of Yantai, and his connections will not be less.
Now Liu Chengan still has an errand, so he left after eating hastily, leaving Liu Chengxu to think of Xiao Fu and said: "Mother, I heard Qiu Jun say yesterday that you left Lishu by your side?" ”
Unexpectedly, the youngest son actually asked about this, Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "Yes, I see that she is well-behaved, sensible, and smart and cute, your daughter-in-law has just given birth to Brother Rui, and she can't take care of her for a while, so it's better to come to me." ”
Liu Chengxu smiled: "Who doesn't know that you are really loving, mother, but Lishu is raised under your knees, and the others are your grandchildren, what do they think?" ”
Mrs. Liu would not think that it was Xiao Fu's reluctance, she quickly thought of Fu, and she must have said it.
When Xiangma attacked the city in Shanyang County, her son gave her the only chance to escape, but Xiangma only affected the month, but Fu Shi disappeared for a year, and she didn't ask how her husband was, nor did she send a message back to Huguang to save people, let alone go to the Yamen to sue the official, no one knew where she went?
When she reappeared, her own sister was already married, and she was going to make a big house and take her sister-in-law as a concubine. What made her feel even more unbearable was that her own son was gone, so she asked the people around her to frame her sister, but fortunately, Xiao Fu Shifu had a big life.
For so long, and there were no chasing soldiers chasing them? She brought enough silver and two people, and she was an official dependent, how could she disappear for so long.
But for the sake of her grandson, Mrs. Liu endured it, but now that Shuzhao has died, she doesn't have so many scruples.
At that moment, Mrs. Liu said: "When your appointment is down, your daughter-in-law will follow you to take up a foreign appointment, and your family's second and third sons will have to stay and study, and your family's eldest girls and second girls will no longer be able to follow you out, especially the eldest girls are ten years old and are going to move around." So the Fu family and Aunt Su have to stay and take care of it, Aunt Ding only has this daughter under her knees, she will definitely be able to take care of it, what about Lishu? So I really deserve to take care of it. ”
Whoever can give birth will let him have more.
Xiao Fu is only twenty years old, he looks like he is good at birth, Aunt Ding and Xiao Fu are of the same age, both of them are young, but it is good to go out together.
Anyway, Aunt Ding is not that kind of weird.
Even Mrs. Liu said: "Otherwise, let Lirou come over too, she and Lishu are here with me, and no one will say it." ”
Speaking of this, Liu Chengxu had no choice but to agree.
In this regard, Liu Chengxu had no choice but to apologize to Xiao Fu, and he also said: "What my mother said makes sense, I think you were going to take care of some affairs for me, I'm afraid you don't have time to take care of him, and besides, Lishu is also very good with her grandmother." ”
Xiao Fu originally hoped that her daughter would come back, but she didn't expect the old lady to let her, so she didn't say anything, and actually let Aunt Ding follow, this Aunt Ding, if she really controlled it, this person would be difficult to deal with.
However, if Fu Shi is not allowed to go, this is another joy, even a big joy.
Although Aunt Ding has been in charge of the house, she is cautious and cautious, and she has not particularly promoted anyone, Xiao Fu's original cleansing of some people, and now she is re-installed in her companion room.
Therefore, Xiao Fu looked at Liu Chengxu and said, "I know that you have done your best, and the old lady is also for my good, I shouldn't complain about anything else." As for Lirou, she is a concubine, if she is put in front of the old lady, it will be different, I am really happy for her. ”
For Xiao Fu's family, as long as her favor lasts for a long time, her daughter is definitely the most outstanding, as for the fourth girl Lirou, she doesn't care very much, because Xiao Fu herself is also a concubine, and she knows that there is a difference between concubine and concubine.
What if the old lady is raised under her knees, it is not up to the father and mother to have the final say in the future, and the old lady will not care, and she will always go beyond her parents.
In other words, in the end, it will return to her own hands, and the top priority is to let Fu's influence be reduced first, and Aunt Su already knows a big deal about her.
Liu Chengxu saw Xiao Fu like this, and felt more and more that she was accessible.
Lishu didn't expect that only two days later, she had another companion, and this companion was Lirou, who had been raised under the old lady's knees in her previous life.
Wanting to come to the old lady, Aunt Ding was extremely happy, Mingyue and Qingfeng said: "I heard that the second master went to the old lady to say it, so our fourth sister went to the old lady to raise it." ”
"Yes, it's really the emperor who lives up to his hard work, everything I did was not in vain." Aunt Ding swept away the haze of the previous days.
Mingyue said with a smile: "What's more, our second master gave the imperial history of Henan Province, and I will take you with me for a year, what is this not love?" ”
Rao is Aunt Ding is usually calm and sober, but now she is also carried away by great joy, she thinks that her daughter is now also taken care of by the old lady, and she follows the master to go out, it is best to be pregnant, and there is hope for a son.
Especially when I came back this time, what could be more shocking than the old lady's change in her opinion of Xiao Fu because of her son.
The old man didn't spoil Aunt Su back then, but she was able to give birth, and everyone knew that she was greedy and scorpion-stinging, but it was not easy to deal with.
But she also told her daughter in private: "You can go to the old lady, it is your creation." The old lady's ancestors came from a famous family, her uncle was a colt, her mother's family was born as a big salt merchant, and the people she knew crossed the river will definitely be better than following her mother's side, but have you thought about how to behave? ”
Lirou is still young, she doesn't know much about this, she just shook her head: "Is it to fight with the third sister?" ”
Is it only when you are eye-catching enough that you can win the love of the old lady?
Aunt Ding smiled: "Then you are wrong, what kind of person is Mrs. Tai, what she doesn't like the most on weekdays is to be a smart person, you can be a little smart, you will be seen through by her, the important thing is that you really care about her old man on weekdays." ”
Compared with Aunt Ding's desire to let Lirou treat the old lady sincerely and seek the old lady's sincerity, Xiao Fu and Lishu said another thing: "Your father was awarded the imperial history of Henan Province, and my mother told you that although this imperial history is only seven grades, it is a patrol press, and the name is 'patrolling on behalf of the Son of Heaven'. In the future, when your father returns to Beijing, he can enter the branch in Beijing, and the branch is the platform that your mother said to you. I am humbled and respected, and in the future, it will be three or four pins of jumping. ”
"That's really going to congratulate my father, it's just that my brother is still so young, and you have to travel again, okay?" Lishu is worried about her brother.
Xiao Fu smiled: "It's okay, we will bring good people this time." It's just that I wronged you, my mother was very happy that you could be in front of your grandmother, but think about it, if your grandmother is really compassionate, why don't you raise them all, and raise you first, and then because I want to ask you back, your father made up a reason to say that he was afraid that others would say that the old lady was partial, so he added Lirou over. ”
"Mother, you'll be back in a year anyway, and my daughter wants you to keep the hairpin you often wear, okay?" Lishu hugged Xiao Fu's coquettishness, in fact, she really wanted to go to Henan, which is the Central Plains, and she can look up to the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.
Xiao Fu poked his daughter's forehead: "You still have to be coquettish, ouch, you are here with your grandmother, you have to be good." You don't have to bother the people here if you want to eat, Mother Du is my nurse, I let her be the housekeeper of our second room, if you like to eat, just look for her. ”
"Well, my daughter knows." Lishu was still reluctant to let go of her hand.
Xiao Fu said: "In your grandmother's place, you are very generous, and I am forced to be cautious, otherwise who in the world wants to pretend to be like a quail every day." Your girl's family is the most comfortable at home, and in the future, don't mention it in the future. ”
Lishu also understands the meaning of the little Fu family very well, everything is decided by the in-laws when she marries, no matter how rich the dowry of the eldest aunt Mrs. Xu is and the family background is prominent, no matter how rich Fu's father is, how motivated Fu's brothers are, and her mother's family does not dare to come to the door at will.
"Mother, I understand, don't worry about me anyway. Besides, I'm okay here, with four girls to serve, and a large group of mothers-in-law and mothers-in-law, which is much better than in Jiujiang. But Aunt Ding's ......" Lishu looked at Xiao Fu and was a little worried.
Xiao Fu hooked his lips: "This is an adult's business, you can rest assured." ”
Ding Xufang was not very favored when she married when she was young, and the whole person felt hard, old-fashioned and stubborn. Before the Fu family was in charge, she shrank herself because Liu Chengxu's action of pushing her away stung her. And Ding Xufang can't get a place in the Fu family's hypocrisy and the old and decrepit Aunt Su, and now she still wants to fight with her?
Maybe she thinks that her housekeeper can get Liu Chengxu's respect, but her management situation is frequent, and it's good that Liu Chengxu didn't trouble her.
However, it was Aunt Ding who went with her anyway, not Fu, and finally made Xiao Fu happy.
Hearing her mother say this, Lishu also felt relieved.
As for the Fu family, Jin Hai originally sent Jin Hai over to help the Fu family, but on the three days that Jin Hai came here, Liu Chengxu almost came back from outside and drilled into Xiao Fu's place, and Xiao Fu was in charge of the second room, and the subordinates were not allowed to walk around casually at all.
When she was still coming up with an idea, Mrs. Liu called Fu Shi in person, Fu Shi didn't know how to please Xiao Fu, but she knew that she was now embattled.
Sure enough, Mrs. Liu was also very simple: "I also know the pain of losing your child, so it is better to recuperate at home this time." And my mother's family happens to have a girl in the clan, I want to send all the girls in our family to Zeng's house to study, you are their mother, and I can rest assured that you will discipline me. No matter how booky and bookish it is, it can also bear your knees. ”
Fu Shi is not easy to refute, she will never say that she wants to follow, seeing Mrs. Liu staring at her, she nodded slowly.
Jin Hai secretly said that it was not good, but he couldn't refute it.
Mother Wei came over with a bud tip and put it in front of Fu's family, Mrs. Xindao really saved face for Fu's family, otherwise she would have to be locked up in the ancestral hall if she framed Xiao Fu's heirs with her people, and only selling Rao's mother and Yuping was already giving her great dignity.
When she was an eldest woman, she always hugged her husband, only thinking that she was the main room, and never thought that Xiao Fu was also hired into the door with three books and six ceremonies, and people would be wronged.
"Okay, it's good if you agree, our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law haven't been together all these years." Mrs. Liu said with a smile.
Fu Shiqiang smiled: "What you said is true. ”
Mrs. Liu said to Mother Wei: "The old lady's former subordinate, as if he was a commander of Yunnan, sent a few cans of tea, what is it called 'Moonlight White', take one jar and give it to the second lady." ”
Fu Shi loves to eat tea, and she also knows that "Moonlight White" is a famous tea in Yunnan, with white leaves on the top and black below, as if the moonlight shines on the tea buds, and it is named "Moonlight White". Fu's heart suddenly, she knew that something was wrong, it was her mother-in-law who suspected her of framing Xiao Fu, probably because she didn't tear her face on the face of the Fu family, but she refused to let her be with Liu Chengxu again.
Originally, Fu Shi felt that this matter was not a big deal, and Rao's mother and Yuping did it themselves, and it was not what she ordered, but now she was speechless, and then looked at Jin Hai, Jin Hai shook his head secretly, and Fu had no choice but to swallow these grievances.
As for Aunt Su staying, there is no need for Mrs. Liu to explain at all.
At dinner, Lishu and Lirou accompanied Mrs. Liu to dinner, Mrs. Liu did not eat much at night, Lishu usually ate more at noon, and did not eat much at night.
Looking at Lirou again, she ate with relish, especially the little pig roasted with hollow meatballs and ghee, and as soon as she put down her chopsticks, Mrs. Liu instructed the maids around her: "Bring a bowl of hawthorn soup to the four girls, so that it is easy to be accumulated." ”
Lirou obediently drank a bowl of hawthorn soup, and Mrs. Liu suddenly asked Lishu and Lirou, "Didn't you eat like this when you were in office?" ”
In fact, this is a pit, if the answer is not good, Mrs. Liu will blame the Fu family for not having a way, this result is very beneficial to Lishu, but Lishu already knows that the Fu family is not released, and wants to stay in the house, so she smiled and said: "I have eaten a special product of Jiujiang called Xiushui whistle, which is made of taro, but I haven't eaten it for a long time since I left Jiujiang, and I miss it very much." ”
Lirou was still afraid that Lishu would say it, so she naturally didn't want to offend Fu, so she was ready to mix it up vaguely, but she didn't expect her to directly divert the topic.
Sure enough, Mrs. Liu said: "Ming'er, I told the kitchen to let them make it, Jiujiang is very close to our Macheng, and we have a lot of cooks brought from our hometown." ”
Lishu was "surprised" and said: "This is great, it is better to be here with grandmother." ”
"It's nothing, yes, I heard that your mother is going to take you to Chi's house tomorrow, you should go and rest early." Mrs. Liu said.
Lishu left after saluting, Lirou felt very strange, she felt that Lishu was by the old lady's side, and it didn't seem that she was competing for favor with her as her aunt said.
The next day, Xiao Fu asked someone to pick up Lishu in the past, this time Liu Chengxu was in a hurry, because the former imperial history of Henan Province was killed, and he took office as the new imperial historian in the past. Yesterday, Xiao Fu handed over a post to visit the Chi family, and today he also took his daughter and Zhu Mama to Chi's house to recognize the door in a limited amount of effort.
Along the way, Danqing whispered to Xiao Fu: "This tassel is indeed as you think, it is Grape's own sister, the cause of Grape's death We forced her to tell the truth through Cherry's family, it turned out that she was raped by Aunt Su's younger brother, and she didn't take care of the second girl to die of chickenpox at all." ”
Xiao Fu smiled: "This tassel girl is running around like a fly without a head, we have to help her, this is called Tianli Zhaozhao's retribution." ”
At this time, Lishu admired Xiao Fu's so much that she didn't show any hatred and precursors to dealing with Aunt Su on weekdays, but she didn't expect to wait for the final blow.
There are many people in this world who blindly follow things for the sake of profit, but there are also the anger of the horseman, blood splashed five steps, and Xiao Fu is also worthy of being a person who is good at Danqing, she knows her character only a few sides of the tassel, and she will not be timid and afraid of the strong person without saying anything, and there are adventures along the way, and she can bend and stretch.
Danqing was a little worried: "Then what if this tassel girl unfortunately dies?" ”
Xiao Fu's eyes were very cold: "That is, she is useless, I have to think of the next way, Aunt Su almost caused my daughter to get chickenpox, I will never let her go." ”:,,
