26 Chapter 26
The most prominent of the Chi family is Queen Chi's family, but outsiders don't know that Queen Chi's father has died a long time ago, and she was able to become the queen back then, relying on the power of her uncle, and this uncle is Chi Nuguan's father.
Now Xiao Fu took Lishu to Chi Nuguan's maiden earl's mansion, not the queen's maiden house.
And Chi Nuguan's parents passed away, and now it is her eldest brother and sister-in-law who are in charge, originally she just voted for a post, without hope, but she didn't expect the earl's family to really want to see them.
In fact, Lishu thought that if Xiao Fu really regarded himself as the Fu family, his maiden family was the family of the Ministry of Rites, and it would be nothing to go to the Chi family, but Xiao Fu never regarded himself as a Fu family, and when he learned that Xiao Fu had been married for so long, he didn't even have his grandfather's name. You must know that when Lishu got married in her previous life, her father specially found her grandfather and uncle and his own name cards to give her, which was convenient for her to go out.
can imagine what kind of life the little Fu family lived in the Fu family, she didn't even feel that she was the Fu family's daughter.
"Lishu, you can just follow your mother to say goodbye later, you don't have to please anyone, do you hear?" Xiao Fu touched his daughter's head.
Oh my God, Lishu felt that if she continued like this, she would definitely be spoiled. Because her mother is really the kind of person who is wronged by herself, she will not let her be wronged.
Fortunately, she was sensible and knew the reason, so she said: "Mother, I know." ”
Mrs. Chi, who received them from the Chi family, is over forty years old this year, pinching a handkerchief and asking about the situation of Chi Nuguan, Xiao Fu said: "We met Chi Nuguan before we went to Beijing, and she looked much better than the last time I saw her. ”
How the sister-in-law is to the sister-in-law, most of them are just concerned about the face, and they don't know what they think in their hearts, but when she saw the portrait that Xiao Fu took out, even the shape and frown of Chi Nuguan were painted vividly, which made her seem to really see Chi Nuguan standing in front of her.
"Is this what you painted? I didn't expect to see such a similar painting. Now my sister-in-law does look much more ruddy than before, and I will show it to my uncle later, and also relieve his pain of missing. Mrs. Chi said.
Xiao Fu Shi showed a look of embarrassment: "I can't hide it, this portrait was originally owned by me privately, and I didn't give it away, but I remembered that Chi Nuguan had been away for many years, and I was afraid that your family would miss it day by day, so I painted it privately." ”
Only people who have real skills and a little character can make people really willing to associate with you, if Xiao Fu happily sent the portrait of Chi Nuguan over, it is really undisciplined.
The more temperamental the person, the more respectful, and the Liu family is not a small family, this Mrs. Liu's father-in-law used to be the prince and the prince of the left capital, and her husband is also a two-list jinshi, and the current imperial history.
Especially Xiao Fu, this person can intersect.
"Okay, well, we won't be difficult, if you want it in the future, please come to the door." Mrs. Chi said very politely.
Xiao Fu pushed his daughter forward: "I will put it here in my family's three girls, because I want to go to work with my father-in-law, so I am not at home." If you want to see it, go to her and get it. ”
Lishu didn't expect that Xiao Fu's all this was also for herself, and only in this way could Lishu have contact with the Chi family.
The love of parents is far-reaching, and the ancients did not deceive me.
Mrs. Chi saw that there was wisdom between the little girl's eyebrows, and she saluted, and couldn't help but praise: "What a girl with pink carving." ”
Xiao Fu said: "I was raised by her grandmother, and she likes to paint like me, so most of my calligraphy and paintings are put there by her." If you need it, just ask her to pick it up. ”
Mrs. Chi said a few words to Xiao Fu again, and Xiao Fu knew the opportunity to retire.
And Fu Shi went back to her parents' house, and it has been a few days since she came back, so she should naturally go back to her parents' house. Mrs. Fu stepped forward with several of her younger siblings, and everyone said their parting feelings, and it was all together, Fu's father only had a wife from her mother, and there was no half of her aunt, and the only Aunt Li still gave birth to a little Fu with family planning, but she also lived like a rough mother-in-law, only under the New Year's Day, she would be allowed to change into a brocade dress.
But Fu's brothers are not a group of wives and concubines, and Mrs. Fu doesn't care.
Fu had a good relationship with her sister-in-law before she got married, but her eldest brother failed the imperial examination and was born as an official. Grandma Fu was also a person carefully selected by Mrs. Fu back then, although she was not good-looking, but she had an outstanding family background and was very good at running a family.
Now they are also in their thirties, and after their greetings, Grandma Fu looked back: "Why didn't you see the second aunt and wife come back?" She, too, is now separated from us. ”
Although he can't look down on Fu Qiujun's robbering brother-in-law, he has to maintain decency.
Fu Shi smiled: "She told me, it happened that the Chi family invited them over today." ”
Chi family? Second Grandma Fu covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled: "The Chi family really invited her to go?" It's so pervasive. ”
As a sister-in-law, it is obviously not very good to say this, but her husband has won the Jinshi and is a Jishi of the Hanlin Academy. And Xu You happened to be introduced to Mrs. Fu by her, who knew that she was put on the spot by this sister-in-law, and she was about to get married, and she actually married her brother-in-law, and she married her sister during her funeral, which was really fast.
At the same time, Xu You was frustrated because of the love scene, and his will to eat and drink was depressed, and he did not make any achievements in the imperial examination.
Obviously, Xu You's talent was favored by her father-in-law and husband at the beginning, and she was really harmful, but fortunately, I heard that he had recently regained his strength and was preparing for the next township exam.
Therefore, Grandma Fu Er has this to say.
Fu Shi was not easy to answer, but he didn't hear it, but Mrs. Fu was in front of her daughter-in-law, she often maintained a motherly attitude, and after seeing each other, she sent them all away, leaving herself and her daughter to complain.
"Chunhua ......" Mrs. Fu touched her daughter up and down, and said with tears: "You have lost a lot of weight." ”
Fu Shi shook his head: "Where am I thin, I look like I've gained a lot of weight." ”
"Nonsense, you used to have a round chin at home, which doesn't say that you are a blessing, but you are really miserable. actually let the little hooves of the cheap life please you, and your mother-in-law heard that it is not as good as before, isn't it? "Mrs. Fu hates that concubine to death.
She doesn't lack food, she doesn't lack clothes, she raised her to grow up, and she actually raised tigers for trouble, and her daughter had to suffer from her.
Fu Shi said bitterly: "I think it's because Shuzhao is gone, my mother-in-law cares about the heir the most." My sister-in-law has never given birth, and my mother-in-law is already displeased with my sister-in-law, and I ...... And the previous thing, even though I came back after a lot of hardship, my mother-in-law was always-"
"Okay, Chunhua, you will rot in your stomach in this matter." Mrs. Fu hurriedly asked her daughter to stop.
Fu Shi was stunned and said no more.
Mrs. Fu said again: "Mother Rao is your grandmother, a servant for many years, I saw that she was doing things safely, so I let her marry with you, how do you know that it is so useless, she actually did such a thing behind your back, and was discovered by her uncle." ”
However, Mrs. Fu changed her mind and said: "Forget what has happened, the most important thing now is to adjust your body first, and you must remember to eat the recipe I gave you." Besides, I've asked your uncle to hire a famous doctor to recuperate for you. ”
"Well, my daughter has not been pregnant in the past few years, and I think it is also a physical problem, but I just invited a few doctors and took a lot of medicine. Even the mutton has eaten a lot, and it is useless. In the past year, my lord has stopped sleeping with me, even if I can give birth, he can't come if he doesn't. This is also Fu's most frustrating point.
Mrs. Fu looked at her daughter: "You are still young, your appearance is better than her, and what about me, I can't watch you suffer." When the time comes, when you give birth to a son, you will be able to stand firm. ”
If the son-in-law wants to go in the officialdom for a long time, he has to rely on his own support, and a man knows how to choose for the sake of his career?
Fu Shi listened to her mother's words and was a little relieved.
In her eyes, her mother has been able to make a superfluous person in the backyard since she was a child, but a concubine does not have much sense of existence, I remember that one year when she went home, she looked at her sister and looked outside, with a look of envy. She was also moved by compassion, but Rao's mother said that her sister was deliberate, how could the jackdaw become a phoenix!
It's ironic when I think about it now.
Xiao Fu didn't know that Fu thought she was sarcastic, but he felt that Mrs. Xu's proposal was sarcastic.
She originally came back with Lishu, and the mother and daughter were having a meal at home, at that time, Xiao Fu also said: "The food at home is delicious, and what we eat in Jiujiang is really coarse tea and light rice." ”
"Mother, I taste good at this terrible quail. Actually, I don't think it's coarse tea and light rice, anyway, I think it's delicious. Lishu smiled, much better than the ones she had eaten in Wusun.
The little maid came in and said, "The eldest lady is here." ”
Lishu feels very keenly, she probably knows what this eldest aunt is thinking about, the eldest uncle is in his thirties, he has been married for more than ten years, and there is only one daughter under his knees, the old lady's face towards the eldest aunt is getting worse and worse, and the fool can also see a few points.
"Mother, my daughter will go to the back first, and I'm tired of riding in the carriage."
Xiao Fu nodded: "I let the cook stay with you, and my mother will talk to you later, this time I am in a hurry, I will leave with your father tomorrow, I told the old lady to send you back in the evening, we will get along for a few hours, I will send her away immediately." ”
It can be seen that Xiao Fu not only has no feelings for her mother's family, but also has no feelings for these people in the Liu family, it seems that all her love has been given to her.
It seems that she also expected what Mrs. Xu came over for, Lishu sat behind the screen, and saw Mrs. Xu sitting down through the gap, looking like the old god was there.
"Brother and sister, you are going to Henan tomorrow, this journey is really hard for you."
Xiao Fu smiled: "It's okay, if you don't go, you can't do it, you can't watch the second master go alone." Yes, is there something wrong with my sister-in-law? ”
Mrs. Xu looked around and saw that Xiao Fu's ornaments were not ordinary, so she said: "The old lady said that you can go, but Brother Rui is too young after all, and she is less than a year old, so she will follow her to Henan." There are so many winds and frosts along the way, and there are so many bumps, which is not good for Rui Ge'er. Originally, her old man thought that it would be good for Rui Ge'er to put her knees, but now she has to take care of the third and fourth girls, so she said that I will take care of Rui Ge'er on her behalf. You also know that Lizhen is about to go to Zeng's house with her sisters to study, and my knees are empty, so, what do you see? ”
There was no distinction between what she said, and she even brought the old lady out, but Lishu found a loophole in Mrs. Xu's here, she didn't say anything about succession, she just said that she would take care of it.
Is it really okay to advance or retreat, and when she gives birth to a son, will she return her brother?
Sure enough, Xiao Fu smiled: "I am really grateful for the care of the old lady and sister-in-law, if I can, I would like to keep him." But he's been eating my breast milk since he was born, which doesn't follow the rules, but it can't be a child. ”
Mrs. Xu didn't expect Xiao Fu to refuse, thinking that she just wanted to refuse and welcome, after all, now Xiao Fu has only one son, and it is not good if she is passed on to herself.
She earnestly advised: "There are many nurses in the family, you don't have to worry about this." Besides, you only go for a year, and when you come back, I think the old lady will definitely give it back to you, after all, the child is too young to be separated from his father. ”
Xiao Fu said: "How can I worry about the family is not good, it's just sister-in-law, you are also a person with children, mother and son are connected, this child sticks to me." Don't worry, Rui Ge'er has a good body, and when she comes back this time, the nurses and mother-in-law sent by the old lady have to use it tightly. ”
In short, she didn't open her mouth.
No matter what Mrs. Xu says, she only has one sentence, and the child can't do without her.
Lishu couldn't help but nodded, her mother was right to do this, she didn't want to, who could do anything to her? Besides, there's Daddy here.
People are most afraid that they will not be firm before they start, Lishu planned to help her mother, she suddenly covered her stomach and shouted: "Mother, my stomach hurts so much." ”
As soon as Xiao Fu heard that his daughter was uncomfortable, he had no time to care about it, and apologized to Mrs. Xu: "Sister-in-law, I appreciate your kindness." Lishu is thin and thin, I am afraid that she will eat too much, so I will rub her stomach for her. ”
In this way, Mrs. Xu had no choice but to return home, unless she asked Liu Chengzong to directly succeed Liu Shurui, it would be a foregone conclusion that this child would take the lead in inheriting the position of a thousand households in the future.
She is still menstruating, she is still young, she is not in her old age, and it is not that she can't give birth, why should she have someone else's child now?
Seeing Lishu holding her stomach, Xiao Fu said guiltily: "It's all bad for my mother." ”
"What's the matter with Guan Niang, it's my daughter who is going to stink." Lishu rubbed her stomach and wanted to go out.
Xiao Fu said: "Okay, my mother asked them to bring the clean bucket." Silly girl, you can't say that you stink, you have to say Gong. ”
Seeing that her daughter was just going to be complimentary, she was also relieved.
Lishu covered her stomach and went outside, while Danhong and Danqing looked at Xiao Fu and said, "Madam, did you say that this is the eldest lady who wants to succeed our brother?" ”
"Who is not tempted in front of interests, but I think that my child hurts by himself, my son is in the second room, and the master and I will hurt him unreservedly. Now, for the sake of a little profit, I will adopt such a young child, I am unwilling in my heart, and I will not be willing in the future. Besides, she is also preparing with two hands, on the one hand, she wants to hold my son first, and on the other hand, she thinks that she will give birth to a son and then return, she has a good calculation, but I will not agree. ”
"But the old lady ...... there"
"That's just her excuse, the old man wants a bowl of water, if I hand over my son. Not to mention whether the sister-in-law will take care of it wholeheartedly, it is not surprising who is a black hand in the family. "Xiao Fu is not at ease.
Especially Aunt Su, pickled people have pickled methods, and there is a tassel who wants to take revenge, whether she will use children as bait, she doesn't know.
Lishu cleaned her hands, she was relieved in her heart, she didn't want her brother to be adopted. Because if the big house really has no children, when the eldest uncle dies, this hereditary position was originally chosen from his descendants, and the younger brother was originally the first in line to attack this thousand households, so why fight now?
But if the big house has descendants, the younger brother's position is even more embarrassing, and with the eldest aunt's person, he may retreat, and neither side will be human beings at that time.
People should get what they do, what they can do, how can they want things that don't fit them.
It's like why she discovered her mother's ability to paint in front of her father, because Israel can serve others a few times, but if she has real skills, no one dares to underestimate them.
Besides, without this hereditary official, the younger brother may not be bad in the future.
The circumstances of life are inherently unpredictable, and if Rui Ge'er is mediocre in the future, he will sit in that position, I am afraid it will be a talisman. If you have the ability, why do you need this?
When Lishu came back, Liu Chengxu happened to come back, and the husband and wife leaned together and didn't know what they were talking about.
Xiao Fu was still sharp-eyed, and immediately said to Liu Chengxu: "Your daughter has come in." ”
Liu Chengxu quickly withdrew the hand behind Xiao Fu's back, Lishu pretended not to see it, and said in surprise: "Daddy, why did you come back so early?" ”
"It's still early, Ming'er and your mother are going to Henan, don't cry your nose." Your mother is very worried about your sister and brother......" Liu Chengxu was also very emotional.
He now has three sons, which can be said to be the same, but Aunt Su obviously wants to step her son, and this matter is no secret. When she came to Xiao Fu's place, she was really reluctant to her children, her daughter could be placed at home when she was older, and her son was too young to be left by her side.
Not to mention the step, Xiao Fu didn't care about what benefits he got from the step, he only said to himself that he hoped he could grow up under his parents' knees.
Lishu listened to her father's words, and it seemed that she was already going to help her mother, and she was also relieved.
"Okay, my mother and my father are leaving tomorrow, so my mother will teach you some things, okay? Daddy also teaches, can it be successful? Xiao Fu looked at Liu Chengxu with a smile.
Liu Chengxu's heart skipped a beat, because Xiao Fu looked at him and shouted "Daddy", which reminded him of the ...... of the two at night
Lishu was also very curious about what Xiao Fu would say to her, she thought that she was saying a lot of obedient words, working hard or something, or that she would be good to get along with the Zeng sisters when she studied in the future.
Where did you know that Xiao Fu looked at her and said, "No matter where you go, you have to take your subordinates with you, do you hear?" ”
Lishu nodded.
I heard Xiao Fu say again: "Then if you go to someone else's house, and a little boy sees that you are so cute and wants to kiss you, and those adults are still laughing, you must not bear it." ”
It turned out to be talking about this, and Lishu said: "I know, except for my mother, no one can kiss me casually." ”
"I can't hug you." Xiao Fu emphasized this again.
Liu Chengxu was listening on the sidelines, and he also felt that Lishu was really a very, very good-looking little girl, and it was right for her mother to teach this.
"Also, don't stay alone with any male elders, whether they are in high positions of authority or not, whether they are people who smile at you on weekdays, or if they want to give you food and clothing, I heard your mother say that you don't want it, okay? We're not uncommon. Xiao Fu looked at Lishu and said very seriously.
Although Lishu is not really a child and will not do this, Xiao Fu does not know that her daughter is born again, she is a little bit of teaching.
Lishu agreed: "Okay." ”
"It's not good, like this-" Xiao Fu suddenly hugged Lishu tightly.
Lishu couldn't break free, and Xiao Fu let go: "Look, you are still too young, if you are alone with adults, you can't deal with adults at all, they have more strength than you, so you can only keep yourself alone with others, and bring enough people." ”
Liu Chengxu looked at Xiao Fu: "Are you worrying too much about this?" ”
"No, that's really what the girl's family wants." Xiao Fu was once pushed into the cave by his uncle, that is, his mother's brother-in-law and almost molested, his uncle was dignified, and he said that it was not easy for her to be a concubine on weekdays, and once he had to hug her, and deliberately said that she had ash on her chest, and he helped shoot the ashes and wanted to take advantage.
Lishu noticed that Xiao Fu's mood was a little wrong, and immediately agreed: "Mother, I know." I'm not going anywhere alone, don't worry. ”
"Normal communication is still required, but some people are like you, don't you know, do you hear?" Xiao Fu pulled his daughter to him and whispered to avoid Liu Chengxu.
Originally, Liu Chengxuhai didn't think so, but seeing Xiao Fu's serious expression, he saw his daughter so obedient, and looked at Xiao Fu again, probably realizing that it is not easy for women, especially for very beautiful women.
He never knew that women had so many troubles, even the wives around him, these women who stayed in the inner house.
Xiao Fu is still saying: "You have to be strong, you have to believe that there is nothing to be afraid of piercing the sky, it is not really how to swallow your anger, if you are wronged, you must express it." To have self-esteem and self-improvement, to dare to say no, to say I don't want to, I don't want to. ”
Lishu hugged Xiao Fu: "Okay, I will definitely be fine." ”
"Well, then you just wait for your mother to come back." Xiao Fu felt that his tone was too harsh today, and coaxed his daughter again, for fear that she would be violated in the slightest.
Although she didn't let her uncle succeed in the end, she couldn't let her daughter suffer this kind of injury.
Lishu Dou's big tears flowed down, if her mother had been alive and healthy like this in her previous life, she would definitely be the most alive daughter in the world, not isolated and helpless, sent home with a blood book, and no one would save her.
"Mother, my daughter is reluctant to give you up." Lishu hugged Xiao Fu's arm.
Xiao Fu patted her and sang nursery rhymes to coax her to sleep, maybe the smell of her mother was too good, she really fell asleep.
And Xiao Fu's thin person personally carried her to the old lady to rest, and halfway through Liu Chengxu saw that she was holding her out of strength, so he took it and hugged herself.
"Don't worry too much, our family is also a family of Jinyiwei, and it is also a family of imperial examinations, there are many famous ministers, the old lady is very strict in housekeeping, and several sisters go in and out together, it's okay." Liu Chengxu said to her.
Xiao Fu smiled slightly: "I know, Xianggong, I have your protection, but my daughter doesn't, I can't help but worry." ”
Liu Chengxu carried Lishu all the way into the inner room, put her gently on the bed, and beat the maids and women who served beside her one by one, those people were all scared and trembling, Xiao Fu was also relieved when she saw this, she was not good at beating her mother-in-law, but Liu Chengxu could.
As for dispelling the old lady's desire to let her sister-in-law raise her children under her knees, no matter what others say, she will not agree.
"Master, you see how well Lishu sleeps, let's go." Xiao Fu pulled Liu Chengxu's sleeve.
Liu Chengxu didn't want to wake up his daughter, so he walked out lightly.
The moment the door closed, a tear remained in the corner of Lishu's eye, and she buried her head in the pillow again, she was really reluctant to mother, but she knew that tomorrow was a new day. :,,
