In the middle of winter, everyone put on new jackets, and Mrs. Xu arranged for a tailor to come to the door, using fashionable fabrics, and one person made four sets of brocade robes with red sleeves and two sets of makeup clothes. Lishu flipped through the jacket on the tray, and what she got was a big red carved silk peony flower open sleeve jacket, a big red colorful ten kinds of brocade sleeve jacket, and then there was a rose red swastika cloud makeup flower jacket and a set of leaf-colored makeup flowers everywhere Jin Luo Zouer.

Mrs. Liu gave her and Lirou two more, each with a cloak and a cloak, and Lishu got a silver fox light fur cloak and a golden and red feather satin cloak here.

Life is much better than in Jiujiang, the second room and the others are very happy, but Fu Shi feels that it is too luxurious.

"On weekdays, I secretly observe, our family doesn't have much income, but now it's so extravagant, it's not very good."

She doesn't like luxury and frugality, and if she doesn't go out on weekdays, she doesn't decorate beads, because the situation at home is obviously worse than she thought. Especially when she was in Jiujiang, the 1,000 taels she went to make Jiao for her son are said to have been sold by Liu Chengxu to her paintings and antiques from the family.

Lijia also frowned: "Now our family is not as good as before, and it has long been like this, but everyone doesn't care, but I don't like to wear these." ”

Especially when Fu Shi took tonic medicine, those big tonic medicines consumed a lot of medicinal materials, and she still had personal contacts in Beijing, and she was dotting around, and even Fu Shi felt that the money was not enough.

Fu Shi wondered if Xiao Fu was encouraging Liu Chengxu to be corrupt, otherwise why the New Year's gift sent back this time was thicker than her previous years. She knew in her heart that this time Xiao Fu won the Rao mother incident, so she followed Liu Chengxu to take office, and wanted to suppress her, but in order to suppress her, it was possible to embezzle, which would be bad.

But it's really hard for her to say anything now, and if she talks too much, Liu Chengxu may not listen to her.

Therefore, when Fu was here with Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu praised Xiao Fu in front of everyone: "Look at this Nanhong bracelet, this Nanhong is very rare, the red of Nanhong, smart and noble, the flame pattern is gorgeous, only produced in Yunnan, and it is also the third wife She got it by chance, she thought very thoughtfully." ”

Mrs. Liu got a Nanhong necklace, Mrs. Xu and Fu got a Nanhong bracelet, and the girls all got a Nanhong ring, which was exquisite and elegant, and it didn't look like an ordinary style.

Lishu knew that her mother told her that this time she used the stones collected in Jiujiang and exchanged them for Nanhong, but it didn't cost any money.

This is the first time that Lishu knows that being literate can really make money, and even make a lot of money, and it is obvious that her grandmother is very happy to receive the gift. The rest sent New Year's gifts such as Kaifeng Bian embroidery, Jun porcelain ten sets, and other such as jujubes, dried apricots and so on.

Mother said that these cost a lot of money, but she and her father bought a few points of dry shares in the local area, and they still made some profits. Lishu knows that the income of officials is tacit, as long as they do not arbitrarily exploit the place and do not accept bribes, they can be regarded as incorruptible.

Looking at the grandmother again, she obviously felt that the gift given by Xiao Fu was in line with her heart, Lishu glanced at Fu and felt that Fu's face was ugly.

There was Xiao Fu's trick again, and he won face, and then Aunt Su's brother heard that he had made a fortune in the south and was also filial piety, Liwan was very generous, she gave a pair of golden lantern-shaped earrings, and a pair of jade flower and bird combs.

"How embarrassing is this, let the second sister send it over in person." Lishu quickly stood up.

Li Wan raised her eyebrows a little: "It's not worth anything, my aunt's brother brought it from the south, but she did some small business, because she remembered her father's kindness, and brought some things to thank her." I thought of your favorite delicate things in your daily life, and I specially picked them out and gave them to you. ”

To be honest, Liwan and Lijia seem to be both people all the way, cautious, and peaceful, and they don't show their annoyance to anyone who likes it. But there is a difference, Lijia blindly has a good name, pretends to be deaf and dumb when she really encounters things, and shirks it several times, but Liwan is not strong on weekdays and waits for the opportunity to move.

Lishu smiled: "Thank you second sister, you still remember my preferences." Come, have a cup of tea at my place and then go, just as we talk. ”

"No, no, I still have to go to the fourth sister." Liwan smiled, she also knew that this time Xiao Fu's family probably didn't leave any money in order to buy the New Year's gift, these three wives are not as rich as the second wife, although the family background is there, but it is the same as not, but she is the father's beloved, and she has the status of a big lady, her aunt is not as good as her, how can she not be offended.

But seeing that Liwan went out, Lishu said in her heart that the tassel was serving at Lirou, if she saw this situation, she didn't know how to hate it in her heart.

Shaking her head, Lishu asked people to put away the objects sent by Liwan, and asked people to put a few charcoal basins on the desk, and wrote a few pages of small letters and a few pages of books.

rubbed his hands, rested for a moment, and learned needlework from Hu's mother.

Mother Hu can be regarded as serving her own girl, she regards her daily homework and female red as a must-learn, but her studies are important, female red is supplemented, and Zhu Mama also often comes over, at least teach the rules for half an hour, and now Zhu Mama will teach her to pour tea, this tea pouring seems easy, but it is actually difficult, especially to learn some tea.

After pouring tea, you must start to learn how to distinguish clothes, for example, the clothes of the wives and concubines of the Shishu also have clear regulations "not allowed to use red, crow green, yellow", as well as the Zhaoxian town field affairs of all colors of the public and the people, merchants, tricks, not tied to the servants, only allowed to take soap, white recognition, iron, horn belt, not to serve purple", "advocate the cheap, not with the noble" and so on.

The partial girl is also very clever, that Zhu Mama only understands everything in the palace, and she follows the old lady, often observing the visitors and learning the rules of officialdom.

Lishu's birthday was in Layue, and Mrs. Tai said: "Why don't you stay at home today and rest for a while, and we can celebrate your birthday for you." ”

"No need, grandmother. Didn't you ask the chef to make me souven noodles in the morning? I've already eaten it. Now that I am studying, I want to be a good student so that I can live up to my husband's expectations. In a few days, when the girls' school closes, your granddaughter will come to accompany you. ”

This is also a habit that Lishu has always cultivated, she thinks that people always like to slack off, if they are reading, they should study hard, and they don't want anything else.

When Mrs. Liu heard her talk about it, she had no choice but to nod helplessly.

said that everyone in the Liu family had changed into new clothes, and Lishu also wore a hood on her head, and when she took it off, there was a circle of sweat on her forehead. Lu Jingyi hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat: "You are sweating too much, what's wrong today?" ”

"Thank you, Sister Jingyi." Lishu smiled and talked about the tailoring of clothes at home, and explained: "I am wearing new jackets today, so it is warm and tight, isn't it very hot?" ”

Lu Jingyi looked at her new clothes, and gently sniffed her clothes with a mothball-smelling smell, and was a little melancholy. She is not sad about things outside her body, but they all have a home, but she has no home.

My cousin is noisy every time, but every time she knows that she wants her family to support her, she can't.

At first, she didn't complain, but she remembered that she was fortunate to have Zeng's family to shelter from the wind and rain, and she was better than many people.

After Mr. Gong came in, everyone listened carefully to Mr. Gong, and Lishu knew that Mr. Gong had only taught them for three years, so she wanted to teach them all her homework, so every time he came over, Lishu memorized it in advance. I understood that there were still a few months to finish reading the four books, and then I began to learn "Poetry and Eclecticism" and "Shujing Illustrated".

Maybe it was because Mr. Gong's speech was getting more and more difficult, and before she listened for an hour, Lishu found that Yingdan had dozed off, Lirou supported her head, and even Liwan put her hand under the desk to play the rope, Lishu shook her head, and continued to listen to Mr. Gong.

and Zhong Yunran's position seems to be vacant, I heard that she is sick, no one proposed to visit, Lishu and Zhong Yunran have a mediocre relationship, let alone ask more.

Lu Jingyi knew why: "I heard that her father's matter was finally sentenced, although she is not guilty, but she can't be an official." Her grandfather's house did not come to visit her, and I had always been sympathetic to her, so I went to visit her once, and saw that she was coughing incessantly, and that she would be better after this winter. ”

Lishu thought that when she first met Zhong Yunran, she looked very gorgeous, much more magnificent than Lu Jingyi. According to common sense, her father should be very happy to survive, but she is sick like this, although Lu Jingyi said vaguely, but Lishu quickly understood. Zhong Yunran's father is no longer an official lady, and she is no longer an official lady.

That Miss Zhong is a very worried character, she must know everything, and naturally knows that it will not be easy for her to marry in the future.

It's Lu Jingyi, who is really pampered and not surprised, and her character Lishu really likes it.

When she interacts with people, she will not be very familiar at the beginning, but after getting along for a while, she will slowly become familiar.

Lishu and Lijia's birthdays are very close, Lishu's birthday she herself deliberately low-key, Mrs. Liu thinks she is quite assertive, and she doesn't bother to care about her, and Lijia here has a gift from the Fu family early in the morning.

Fu Shi also opened a table for his daughter to find a cook, and Lishu went to give a purse made for her own pair, ate a meal, and came back.

She now finally understands why Xiao Fu never told her to go to Fu's house, as if she didn't have her mother's family at all, as soon as Fu came back, she felt that she had no fun.

Because she has no one to support, and her husband who likes her also pushes her away, she is desperate, if it weren't for herself, she would despair. Even in her previous life, she once ignited her confidence, and she was almost killed by a miscarriage caused by the people around Fu's people and Aunt Su, and in order to hold up her last breath, she arranged for her a husband who she thought was the best in the world.

It's a pity that life has been difficult since ancient times.

In addition to sighing, Lishu didn't want to say anything, fortunately, she had the opportunity to start over again in this life, she was happy, really lucky. They can all live again, she actually has no regrets, but she wants her mother to live better than anyone else in this life.

The girls' school was closed a few years ago, and Lishu was the last girl to persevere, and when she returned home, she and Lirou accompanied Mrs. Liu to say goodbye in the morning, and it was definitely right to stay in the morning and dusk.

Fortunately, there was no need to get up so early as she used to study, and when she came over, Mrs. Liu said to Wei's mother: "You bring a bowl of meat porridge to the two of them, and it's best to add some seafood to it to improve the freshness." ”

"Don't worry, the kitchen knows it." Mother Wei gestured to a little maid.

The little girl went down to the kitchen, Lishu glanced at Lirou, Lirou's face seemed to be a lot rounder, it seems that grandmother does live better here, I still remember that when she was in Jiujiang, she was covered with prickly heat, and Lirou was thin at that time and only had a big head left.

Lishu looked at Mrs. Liu again, and naturally couldn't be cold: "Grandmother, I heard that grandfather often has wine banquets these days, I learned to make sobering tea with Mama Zhu, and I'll let you see if it can enter my grandfather's mouth later." ”

"That's done." Mrs. Liu said lightly.

Lishu was not discouraged, and continued: "Grandmother, then I will pour you a cup of tea now, and the fourth sister will also borrow flowers to offer Buddha." She went to the tea room first, where there are all kinds of tea sets and tea leaves, Lishu thought to herself, Mrs. Liu seems to have a bad appetite, probably at the end of the year there are a lot of banquets every day, probably anorexia, so just make a cup of "Furen tea" with her grandmother.

This Furen tea is brewed with olives, which can clear the lungs, improve the pharynx, and produce Jin, which is the most suitable for Mrs. Liu.

Then there is Lirou, she is still young, not used to drinking bitter tea, she seems to like to eat meat on weekdays, she likes all kinds of meat, that tea makes a cup of hazelnut pine tea, with hazelnuts and pine nuts to make tea, hazelnuts are also known as mountain chestnuts, the shape is like chestnuts, the shell is hard, the kernels are fat and white and round, there is aroma, flat, sweet, rich in oil, should suit her taste.

Soon she brewed the tea, and put a golden apricot leaf teaspoon in Mrs. Liu's teacup, and a ginkgo biloba teaspoon in Lirou's teacup, and soon she asked people to bring it over, and when she went in, she was listening to the laughter inside, and she didn't know what joke Lirou said.

Lishu is not jealous, although her relationship with Lirou is not very good, but she has to admit that she is very likable, often cute, cute and cute, without any lethality.

Grandmother doesn't like Lijia to be too thoughtful, and she doesn't like Liwan to be sleek, and probably doesn't like her own rebelliousness, so Lirou is right.

"Grandmother, fourth sister, you taste it." Lishu asked Shui Zhi and Shui Yun to send each of them over.

Mrs. Liu lifted the lid of the tea and took a sip, "This is Furen tea." ”

Lishu nodded: "Grandmother really knows everything, and there are olives in it, which can clear the lungs, improve the throat, and produce Jin." I think my grandmother often goes out to feast these days, and there are few vegetables and fruits at home in winter, so I am afraid that the vegetables are easy to get tired, so I use this olive to make you appetizing. ”

Mother Wei saw that Mrs. Liu was only going to take a bite to save face at first, but she didn't expect that after she took the first sip, she actually drank about half a cup, although her face was indifferent, but this was already a big breakthrough.

I saw Lirou very much again, and thanked Lishu.

Lishu said: "What's this, let's work hard in the school, and we will be much more comfortable in our own home, you don't have to treat me as a section leader, just be a sister." ”

Mrs. Liu's family has always thought that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, and she only let her daughter's family be literate and not learn much, so she never asked much, but she didn't expect Lishu to be the section leader.

"Three girls, have you become a section leader? You're not very old! ”

Lishu nodded: "I didn't expect it, it was originally the eldest sister, and later, because of the "Analects", "The Book of Filial Piety" and "Mencius", I was reluctant to get into the eyes, and I was lucky to get the first place a few times, so I asked Mr. Gong to let me be the section leader." ”

In other words, the seven-year-old Lishu has surpassed Lijia, who is three years older than her, and Lijia is a few years more than her in women's school, which surprises Mrs. Liu.

She is different from other old ladies, when she married Liu Dongye, Liu Dongye did not go to the imperial examination as his father and ancestors, but he was awarded the Jinyi Guard, the last extremely human minister, she appreciates talents the most, Wei's mother was an insignificant little girl back then, but she was transferred to her side to become the biggest housekeeper mother.

Just like she can adjust the tassel to come over and serve, it's the same way, she doesn't like that kind of stupid look honest, in fact, she prefers to be smart.

"Okay, well, you should be so diligent." Mrs. Liu was very happy.

Lishu smiled and shook her head: "I'm still afraid that Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, so I want to excuse myself." However, I think there are brave people in the world

Although I was sincerely afraid, since Mr. trusted me, how could I refuse. ”

Mrs. Liu was very approving: "That's true, when I was young, I came in to take care of the house, and at that time I hadn't given birth to your uncle, and before anyone figured it out, I had to treat the funeral for the elders of the clan, and I didn't have a clue at all." But, your eldest uncle and grandmother have a foot disease, and your second uncle and grandmother don't dare, and I am like this, so I reluctantly managed it later. ”

"Grandmother is really modest, what a reluctance, I think it must be done so that the whole clan has nothing to say. Daddy must be like you, my mother and I once followed my father to solve the case, that is, many nuns disappeared in the case, many people are afraid, my father is not afraid, and then the case was solved, many people praised my father for being powerful, it turned out to be a genetic grandmother. Lishu looked at Mrs. Liu with admiration.

At this time, the meat porridge was delivered, and Mrs. Liu said to Lishu, "You drink the porridge first." ”

On the table, there are yellow duck eggs, pickled melon mixed with dried shrimp, and then a plate of bad duck and a plate of black chicken. There are also two kinds of pasta, the same is two baskets of yellow sprout leek meat buns, and the same is jade bean cake.

This is much more delicious than eating a little in a hurry in the morning, and Lishu didn't say anything, she drank two bowls of meat porridge and two meat buns, and ate two salted duck eggs on the dish.

Tassel served the four girls on the side, the four girls never picked anything, although she was young, but she knew it, Tassel felt that the four girls looked definitely not ordinary. But this is different from the third girl, originally she thought that the third girl was similar to Aunt Ding, with a strong and upright temperament, and walked the straight road, but later found out that this was not the case.

The third girl, Lishu, is not like that, she is not tactful, but she dares to face it, is indomitable, and is very persistent, she is not the kind of person who really pinchs the point, in short, she is a person who cannot be ignored.

There are people in this world who want to be famous and some people who want to make profits, but there are always people who have to do things, and the third girl is probably this kind of person.

This kind of person has the ability to do anything, is shrewd and capable, and will never be ignored in the future. Tassel really felt that she had made a mistake, she could only be a quail here with the fourth girl, the fifth girl was often unkind to the fourth girl, and the fourth girl was used to swallowing her anger and had no temperament.

Originally, she had already thought of a plan, and the victory was in her hands, but who knew that after the fifth girl received the gift from the second girl, she turned out to be like a mallet, saying that the second girl was good, and she broke all her calculations.

It's too difficult to deal with Aunt Su, especially this time when she met Aunt Su's brother, that person is actually living a good life, making a lot of money in business, and being a good person, and he has been filial up and down.

Tassel feels that her strength is too weak, and she must take refuge in a stronger person in order to use her strength.

The fourth girl is too timid, she can't squeeze in the third girl, and the third girl is too young, it seems that there is only one person who can help her. She will not give up avenging her sister, and she is not afraid of anything. But before that, she has to befriend the three girls.

After Lishu finished breakfast, she went back to the room, and heard Xue say in her ear again: "Girl, the tassel told me that last time she seemed to see the person who cut the girl's strings, it was the fifth girl. ”

"Oh, it's been months, why now?" Lishu wasn't too surprised by this result.

Hearing Xue, she said: "She said that she was cowardly, but when she saw what the girl said about the brave man or something, she felt that she couldn't hide it anymore." ”

"If you give me two hundred dollars and a box of snacks to reward her, you will say that I remember her affection, and if anything about me is in the future, I will trouble her to tell me." Lishu smiled.

Tingxue immediately took the reward money and snacks out, the reward money is not much, but this snack is very expensive, and you may not be able to buy it if you have money. This is still made by the chef of the Zeng family, who specializes in dim sum, and the girl herself is reluctant to eat it, but gives it to her.

It is not uncommon to see the reward on the tassel side, and when I open the snack box, it is actually a ghee snail, this three girls are really a big deal.

But they don't understand, "Why don't you give a little more of the reward?" ”

"Hey, Tassel is a high-spirited person, if you give a reward, even if you give ten taels of silver, she may not put it in her eyes, but this ghee snail is not easy to make, but it is rare, give her rare things, show me how important I am to her." Lishu smiled.

Tingxue and Siyu both looked at Lishu: "Then now that you know that it was the fifth girl who cut your strings, what are you going to do?" ”

Lishu said: "I don't want to say that people are young, so I have to let her." However, if I deal with her with great fanfare, but behind her there are my uncle and aunt, and my father and mother are not around, but there is no one to support me. By the way, what does she like best? ”

Tingxue thought for a while: "I heard that the fifth girl likes to throw pots the most. ”

"Oh, I saw her that Mr. Gong was lecturing in the front, and she and Yingxiu were playing in the back, and I thought she liked this? It turned out to be a pitcher. That's a good feeling, from now on I'm going to practice pitching the right head. "Lishu is actually modest, she was very good at playing Shuanglu and playing cards in her previous life, but these lives are gone with Wusun.

Siyu understood: "The slave maid will go and move a silver kettle now." ”

Li Shu smiled: "What's the hurry, take a few hundred dollars to the kitchen and let them add a garlic roasted lychee meat and a milk fan with us." You guys have to eat a good meal after following me. When you are full, you have strength. ”：，，
