Early the next morning, Lirou told Mrs. Liu that she wanted to go to Gu's house, but Mrs. Liu did not stop her: "You have always had a good relationship with her, so you should comfort her, but you just talk, don't stay long." ”

Lirou was measured: "Yes, grandmother." ”

The Gu family is the Taifu Mansion, and the subordinates are not generally arrogant, and Gu's father returned to Beijing from other places to serve as a member of the staff department. In fact, if this marriage hadn't been the finger of the year, the current status of the Gu family would not have been able to determine such a family affair.

When Lirou went up the steps, she lifted her skirt and entered Gu's house. When Mrs. Gu heard that she was coming, she hurriedly said, "Sister Rou, you are finally here, Xue'e cried all night yesterday." You are the only one who can persuade her. ”

Lirou was anxious when she heard this, and immediately went into the embroidery building of the Gu family, only to see that Gu Xue'e's eyes were swollen like peaches, and when she saw Lirou, she wanted to laugh, but she couldn't laugh, and she couldn't open her eyes.

"Sister Gu, you're okay. In fact, every family has such a thing, my second sister and the third son of the Zeng family have decided, and the third son of the Zeng family has already had a head and end with a cousin of the Zeng family. After being separated for a year, the connection was broken, but after this matter was decided, now Miss Zhong is already yesterday's yellow flower, so why worry about it. Lirou thought that Cen Yunfang was indeed a bastard as Lizhen said, and other people were hiding and hiding even if they had a relationship with someone, where was there such a trouble.

But Lirou also thought that Cen Shifang was the son of the Marquis of Guangyang, the holy family of the Marquis of Guangyang, and his father was deeply trusted by the emperor, if Gu Xue'e wanted to find a good one, I am afraid there would be no better than this.

Gu Xue'e is thirteen years old this year, originally in terms of age, she was more than five years older than Lirou, but she was not as stable and mature as Lirou. She was a little afraid of this marriage, the Guangyang Hou family is complicated, the Gu family was originally from a poor family, since the old lady retired, her father's official fortune is average, but her family background is very simple, and she feels big when she thinks about it. It's good now.,There's also an old childhood sweetheart.。

In the past few days, Gu Xue'e always feels that life is like a year, and she said seriously: "Good sister, I know that you and I are good, so I said these heart-wrenching words to me." In fact, I think that if I only marry an ordinary person, as long as my family background is pure and white and my character is excellent, it will not be like this. What's more, Cen Shifang of the Marquis of Guangyang's Mansion heard that he is still a martial artist......"

Those born in scholarly families like them all want to marry talented people, even if they are not talented people, they should be literati who can speak. Instead of marrying a soldier, a Qiu Ba, thinking they were rude.

This kind of talk Lirou is incomprehensible, and she doesn't know how to persuade her, like her second sister loves wealth and glory, so she doesn't care about these things at all when she marries the Zeng family, but Sister Xue'e is not such a person.

"Sister Gu, where should Cen Shi go-" Lirou wanted to remind her to inquire more about the so-called cousin of her childhood sweetheart, so that she would be easy to deal with in the future, but now that she saw Gu Xue'e crying like this, it was inconvenient to say anything.

Therefore, she resumed her conversation: "Sister Gu, the Cen family has a lot of mouths and a high family, and it will be useless for you to cry like this again." Let's think about how to cheer up. ”

Gu Xue'e smiled bitterly: "Good sister, this marriage is a marriage in the abdomen, you are right, whether I like it or not, I have to go, but I think of my temperament, I am afraid that it will not be a few years after entering the door, if I really go, if you still remember me, put a bunch of jasmine flowers in front of my grave, we were strung together, your hands are more skillful than mine." ”

Lirou felt that this was a little unlucky, and persuaded her a little.

After this day, Gu Xue'e really didn't cry anymore, although she didn't become strong, but she also accepted it silently, and the Gu family thought that Lirou's persuasion was effective, and gave her a lot of gifts.

Lirou felt ashamed, but Lizhen was a little blushing when she saw these gifts, and Lirou gave her a lot of them, so she was happy.

As for Cen Shifang's childhood sweetheart's cousin, the sisters of the Liu family actually happened to see her. Because Duchess Lu invited to play wine, Mrs. Liu took Lishu and Lirou over together, Lishu usually except for reading and practicing, she has hardly been out for a long time, she is inevitably a little rusty, and she is not as familiar with Lirou and the eldest sister.

Duchess Lu pointed to Lishu and said to Mrs. Liu: "This is the third girl of your family, it's really rare, how come you have such a good girl in your family, and you don't often bring it." ”

Mrs. Liu smiled: "What are you talking about, didn't I bring it?" Lishu, hurry up and say hello to the Duchess of Lu Guo. ”

Lishu kowtowed three times on the futon that had been arranged, and she behaved like a ritual, just like what Mama Zhu once said, etiquette is not learned, but naturally infiltrated into the bones. And Mrs. Chi also raised Lishu because she had an old relationship with Xiao Fu: "Have you been studying lately?" ”

"Yes, I studied with my sisters at Zeng's house, but I didn't read well."

Mrs. Chi said: "Then you are really modest, your mother is a Danqing Holy Hand, where will you go, I think in the future, it will be better than the blue." ”

Lishu didn't dare to do it.

Everyone didn't know about Xiao Fu's affairs, and Mrs. Chi said it again, and the people who listened to it were amazed, but Fu was a little on pins and needles.

The tassel standing behind Fu Shi also noticed the master's intentions, she knew that Fu Shi didn't care about these so-called concubines on weekdays, she was very good to Aunt Su and Aunt Ding, and even treated Liwan as her own, and often let her subordinates take good care of the two young masters.

Even the eldest girl Lijia often has good words to persuade the third girl, of course, the tassel also knows that the third girl is a person who has made up her mind and will not look back, but in any case, the Fu family is really kind to the other concubines and even the children.

However, she and Xiao Fu seem to have a very heavy knot, which does not mean that she hates Xiao Fu, but is sad.

Lishu saw that everyone praised Xiao Fu, she was even happier than praising herself, her mother was really talented in calligraphy and painting, and she could figure it out herself without a famous teacher. She is also the wife of the Liu family that Ming Media is marrying, so it is good to appear in front of everyone.

Because Lishu also said: "My mother paints herself, especially good at drawing people, but I can't catch up." Sometimes when I see her painting people, I feel more real than myself in the mirror. ”

Many people have never seen Xiao Fu's family, but seeing Lishu's demeanor is so decent, her appearance is outstanding, her voice is like a yellow warbler out of the valley, and when she salutes, she is like a fairy descending to earth, and she is empathetic. They can all imagine how outstanding Lishu was when she was her mother, and then look at Fu's family, with a little sympathy and pity.

In these people's families, if there is a concubine who is too beautiful, it will be regarded as a threat, not to mention that Xiao Fu's is also a wife's room, and he is still married to three media and six people, so it must be difficult for the Fu family to win.

From time to time, Mrs. Guangyang Hou arrived outside, and Lishu listened to the eyes of the ladies inside, needless to say, it seemed that she knew about the trouble between the Guangyang Hou Mansion and the Gu family a few days ago.

Lishu is thinking about other things, Aunt Ding is also like Lirou, she has always been very good at picking up leaks, and she seems to have no desires on weekdays. But once the leak is really successful, it will cause wind and rain.

I don't know what happened to my mother and Aunt Ding?

She thought so, but saw a woman with a smile on the corner of her mouth coming in from outside the door, she was of medium stature, and she looked dignified and beautiful next to her goose egg face. There was a cardamom girl standing beside her, combing a falling horse bun, with only two jasper hairpins inserted in the bun, and the heavy clothes in winter were not bloated on her at all, which was completely different from the rumored claim of the dogskin plaster who came to the door to destroy people's relatives.

Of course, people can't look good, but I don't know what Mrs. Guangyang Hou took her to the door on this occasion.

Lishu sat quietly and listened to their greetings, it turned out that this cousin was the daughter of the elder brother of Mrs. Guangyang Hou, because the elder brother died on the battlefield in order to save Guangping Hou, so she put her niece by her side.

Lishu was stunned and said to Mrs. Liu: "It turned out to be the queen of loyalty." ”

This matter is a bit difficult to do, maybe after the death of this girl's father, he entrusted people to the Cen family, but it is a pity that the old marquis was married before, and the Cen family did not care about this matter before, but I didn't expect the Gu family to go to Beijing, so this matter has to be faced.

Of course, this is someone else's business, and Lishu is too lazy to care, because her aunt saw that there were many guests, so she took them to a warm pavilion to rest first, and Lishu fell asleep when she came into the warm pavilion.

Lirou was also unlucky, as soon as she came out, she ran into the cousin, and the cousin seemed to recognize her, so she couldn't help laughing: "I know you, you are Gu Xue'e's friend, I bother you to tell her, my cousin and I are in love, please quit automatically, this is all right." ”

Originally, Li's soft son has always been a person who has nothing to do with herself, but somehow she remembered Gu Xue'e, and when she heard the words "two lovers are happy", she couldn't help but think of Aunt Ding's letter.

In the letter, she asked her to be filial to her grandmother, hoping that her grandmother would give her a good future, because she was forced by Xiao Fu to be like an old woman, cowering in a corner, but Xiao Fu treated her very well, so that she could not grasp any handle, and because she was not favored, her subordinates despised her.

Even Aunt Ding's letter pointed out why Liu Chengxu didn't favor her, because her father and Xiao Fu were in love.

Lirou thinks that this kind of love is too selfish, you yourself are in love, and what about other female relatives, aren't they all human?

Therefore, when she heard the cousin of the Cen family mention this, she stabbed for the first time: "Don't tell me this, if you really have the ability, you should tell the Cen family, and let the Cen family marry you." I don't know what 'two loves' mean, my family education is very strict, and we are never allowed to mention anything for life, otherwise we will be beaten to death. ”

The cousin of the Cen family didn't see this delicate and cute little girl actually say such a thing, she pointed at her and said, "You, why do you say that about us?" Do you know me? ”

"Really? Do you dare to tell me what you said again and tell those ladies? Lirou made a gesture to pull her.

The cousin girl of the Cen family didn't expect her to look away, and thought that Lirou was a woman who had never seen the world like Gu Xue'e, but she knew that Lirou was actually a ruthless character, so she ran away quickly.

By the day of the official marriage between the Gu family and the Guangyang Hou Mansion, the spring flowers have bloomed, and now only Lishu and the two younger sisters who go to Zeng's house to study, but Lirou and Lizhen are going to Gu's house today, so only Lishu is going to Zeng's house to study.

She doesn't feel lonely, there are always people who think that you don't take the imperial examination, you are not a man, and you don't want to be the king and dominate, what are you doing so hard? But Lishu thought, she didn't want to waste every day, the book was full of previous experiences, and it was timeless. Live every day well, what's wrong with being based on the present.

Always thinking about being ambitious, I can't wait to reach the sky in one step, I can't take the imperial examination at every turn, I won't study, and if I can't be Wu Zetian, I have to lie down. Lishu feels that this kind of person is just a master with a low eye, and if he doesn't accumulate steps, he can't even reach thousands of miles, and if he wants to succeed, he must have the right time, place and people, and all of them are indispensable.

The way of heaven is more than enough to make up for the shortcomings, the dynasty changes, the people suffer, and the new dynasty rises again, what can ordinary people do? It's nothing more than going with the flow.

This year, Mr. Gong's teaching has become more and more strict, and he has begun to teach the "Book of Songs" completely, after learning the Book of Songs, few people have learned the other four classics, and so far there is only one Xu Shen through the Five Classics.

Of course, when reading through the "Book of Songs", Mr. Gong also taught them to compose poems, and for some reason, Lishu is not very good at painting, but the poems are still well written, Zeng Yingxiu is also a rare person to persevere, and in the end, when Mr. Gong lectures, there are often only the two of them sitting at the bottom.

Writing articles generally requires reading a large number of books, and it just so happened that Lishu had nothing to do and asked Mr. Gong to open a book list, and let people buy "Ancient Literature Guanzhi", "Ancient Literature Interpretation", "Article Track", "Ancient Chinese Brushwork", "Ancient Tang Dynasty Poetry Interpretation", "Fuxue Zhenghu", "Punti Notes", "Six Dynasties Literature", "Zhaoming Anthology" and "Zhaoming Anthology".

Reading these books requires complete immersion, and Lishu often sometimes reads books late at night, writes down what she doesn't understand, and then asks her husband. People seem to grow up through continuous efforts, and they can't imagine that they know so much.

When Ri Lishu came back from school, she came to Mrs. Liu first, but saw an acquaintance.

"Why is the third cousin here? Are you here to see your wife and big sister? "Lishu never thought to see Fu Minglun here.

Fu Minglun is not the kind of person who reads books, he has a funny temperament, and he has no shelf, he went to the Fu family for the Chinese New Year this year, and Li Shu felt that the next generation of the Fu family and Cousin Fu can really revitalize the family.

And he didn't learn Taoism at all, and he gave her a piano sheet to encourage her to play the piano, and Lishu had a good impression of him.

Fu Minglun smiled: "I'm here to ask your old lady for good wine." We have an old friend of my father's in our house, he likes to drink Baofeng wine the most, and my uncle used to be an official in Henan, I thought I was afraid that you would have it at home, so I came to ask for a few altars. ”

Mrs. Liu scolded with a smile: "Good boy, it turned out to be a lawsuit against my family's wine." ”

"You also feel sorry for me, so as not to go back and be scolded by my father." Fu Minglun gave up.

It can be seen that Mrs. Liu likes him very much, although she still asks people to move two jars of Jinhua wine and two jars of Baofeng wine. Fu Minglun asked Lishu what she was studying, and Lishu said: "Now that I am starting to study the Five Classics, Mr. will mainly teach the Book of Poetry, and only pick a few of the other four classics." Let's see for ourselves......"

"That's great, if you don't understand something, just ask me." Fu Minglun is very open-minded and doesn't think there is anything wrong with women reading more.

Lishu happily agreed.

Fu Minglun also said that he would take the exam in three years, and now he would study hard behind closed doors, and Mrs. Liu said that it would be good to boil it out. Obviously, Fu Minglun is also full of ambition and high spirits.

But Lishu knew that he didn't win the next subject, in fact, it was very serious to not get in, and the imperial examination was very difficult, in addition to learning, it was also a bit of luck.

Mrs. Liu saw Fu Minglun and Lishu talking about the article together, thinking that the two of them were very compatible, Fu Xiaosan'er had a free temperament, and was very talented, it is not difficult for such a person to be a scholar, but it is not easy to mix the career path, you must have an assertive and capable person who can persuade him to help him, although Lishu is young, she can vaguely see that she understands things, dares to do things, and is even talented, especially her first-class eloquence and very convincing.

can be like-minded, but also cousins, if you can get married, it would be great.

It's not that Mrs. Liu is not optimistic about Lijia, Lijia is good, gentle and steady, and good at using people's hearts for her use, but she does all this to keep her own reputation, and she is not willing to really do anything. is afraid of offending people, and has to maintain his reputation, he has no interest, I am afraid it will be difficult to get together with a person like Fu Minglun.

Of course, if you think about it with your toes, you know that Fu Minglun and Lishu are impossible, and she is not stupid about the Fu family's attitude towards Xiao Fu and Lishu.

This was just a small episode, but Lijia quickly came back, but Fu Minglun was already gone at this time, and Lishu, Mrs. Xu and Mama Wei were in the house with Mrs. Tai playing horse hanging.

Lishu learned to play horse hanging at the age of six in her previous life, mainly because she was bored at home and couldn't go out, so she let her subordinates accompany her to play horse hanging, her card skills were not very exquisite, but she was still very useful to play with her grandmother, an old man.

"I've lost all the laps, and this time it's my turn." Lishu has lost four games in a row, and this time she touched a chicken upside down, and she was excited.

Mrs. Liu smiled: "Don't cheat nonsense? ”

Lishu pushed the card: "I have already played these two chickens, but they haven't come down, and I really drew myself." ”

The other three families gave her money, and at this time, Lishu saw Lijia coming over and wanted to get up to call her, Lijia said: "You can fight with peace of mind, I came to take a look." ”

Come over to see something, Lishu knows it in her heart, Mrs. Liu also knows it, and Mrs. Xu is even more silent with a smile.

After Lijia returned to the room, she saw that the Zeng family sent someone to send a load of silk and satin, as if her in-laws were walking around, and Aunt Su crossed her waist and looked ridiculous.

Of course, her heart was seen by the Fu family, in fact, the Fu family and the Fu family did have a tacit understanding, and Mrs. Fu also wanted to kiss and kiss, but Mrs. Fu said that her second sister-in-law wanted to make the Minglun Gold List title re-married, and now she can't let him be distracted.

But in another three years, the daughters will reach the age of generals, and the following Lishu Lirou will be married, and the family may not be able to come up with such a large amount of money.

Thinking of this, Fu Shi was a little worried, and looked at the tassel again, and the tassel was smiling: "Aunt Su is very lively there, I heard that the Zeng family gave us two girls." ”

Fu nodded: "You go and prepare a return gift, don't lose the courtesy." ”

"Yes." Tassel knew that Fu Shi was not jealous in his heart, so he went with confidence.

And Lijia heard that Fu Minglun sent a piano sheet to Lishu last time, this time I heard that the two of them had a good conversation with their grandmother, she rushed over, Fu Minglun left again, although she knew how much the Fu family hated Xiao Fu, but she was always upset.

……

These entanglements have nothing to do with Lishu, Lishu is dedicated to reading and learning the piano, and this year Mrs. Liu went to Zhuangzi again, and Mrs. Liu accompanied her. It's also strange to say that although the two old men live separately, their relationship seems to be good.

If you don't go out to socialize, you don't have so many worries, so that when your ninth birthday is quietly approaching, you find that a year has passed, and you are still writing some small poems and articles.

The gentlemen invited by the Zeng family are all leaving, and they plan to go home for the New Year, and then prepare to find the next one, because all the things that should be handed over have been handed over, and even Mr. Gong is going to Huzhou Mansion through the recommendation of Master Zeng.

The thing that makes Lishu most happy is that Liu Chengxu's term of office has expired and he has been transferred to Dali Temple.

Liu Chengxu is coming back, and Xiao Fu is also coming back, and she gave birth to a son in office, named Shulin, which means that the family has the meaning of a unicorn.

The male owner of the second room is coming back, Fu Shi began to let people sprinkle and sweep up half a month in advance, and his face is much more ruddy. Her body is almost adjusted, if she can give birth to a son and a half daughter, she will not only have a comfort in her heart, but also ease the relationship between her and Liu Chengxu, after all, their relationship was so good before.

On this day, Lishu was writing at home, and she listened to Lin Ji's family's reply: "Old lady, the second master and the second lady have entered the city." ”

Lishu hurriedly came over to Mrs. Liu, and she greeted Mrs. Liu, "Grandmother." ”

"Good boy, come and sit with me. Your mother is back, are you happy? Mrs. Liu was very happy to know that Xiao Fu gave birth to a son, and as for Aunt Ding who was not pregnant, she didn't care, obviously it was much more noble to come out of Xiao Fu's belly.

Lishu nodded fiercely: "I'm very happy, I still want to see my younger brothers, especially the new brother, I haven't seen it yet, I made a small belly pocket, I don't know if it's suitable?" ”

At the age of nine, she has already followed Hu's mother to learn how to cut and embroider, and now she doesn't have to go to girls' school, she is doing needlework with Hu's mother and the girls every day, and eating some hot tea and snacks, which is also very comfortable.

In her previous life, her mother died at the age of ten, and she will be ten years old in another year, but fortunately, her mother is back this year, and she must protect her mother's side. Others think that having children is guaranteed, but her mother is too thin, and she is afraid that her mother will give birth frequently, which is really bad for her health.

Like Lishu worried about her mother, Xiao Fu was also worried about her daughter, Liu Chengxu sat opposite her, held the target mirror for her, saw that Xiao Fu wiped the lipstick that Fang had just applied again, picked up a little bit with his little thumb and smeared it on his mouth, looked around in the mirror, and saw that she was a little more beautiful, and then pulled out the target lens from Liu Chengxu's hand.

"Okay, it's good enough, why are you afraid that your daughter won't recognize you?" Liu Chengxu joked.

Xiao Fu shook his head lightly, but nodded with wide eyes: "After all, it's been three years, and I'm old." ”

Liu Chengxu stroked her lips with his thumb, a little sly and a little gentle: "What are you doing here, you are only in your early twenties, your husband and I are old, and I have been running around all day in the past few years, not as good as before." ”

Xiao Fu hugged his arm with both hands, very affectionate: "So what's the matter, in my heart, you are more heroic than anyone else." ”

The husband and wife are often tired in one place, especially in the past few years, but whenever Liu Chengxu goes out, he knows that his wife loves to paint landscapes, and the two of them walk all over the famous scenery in their spare time. He especially loves Xiao Fu's point, she is indeed not as calculating as Aunt Ding, hoarding food and materials in advance, and wanting to make the difference as soon as there is a demand from the people.

He is the same person as Xiao Fu, Xiao Fu would rather his sons eat roughly, the family loses, see the poor people will give money, and never deduct the silver taels, although they are not rich in office, but very comfortable.

"Ahem." Liu Chengxu didn't look over, a little uncomfortable.

Xiao Fu laughed a few times, the corners of his mouth rose, and his eyebrows stretched.

In any case, when she came back this time to snatch her husband with Fu, she was not afraid. Of course, when she was in Henan, she specially asked her companion to find Rao's mother, and she actually asked about Fu's private matter.

She was also moved that this matter could almost destroy the Fu family, so that she could no longer sit back and relax.

But in the end, she decided to keep it in her heart, and it was definitely not because they were sisters. Because they don't have any sisterhood, Mrs. Fu regards her as a thorn in her side, Fu didn't beat and scold her on the surface, but she and Aunt Ding were seen together, and the people around her still framed her.

Even so, she felt that if she wanted to compete for favor in the back house, she should not use this method.

Because she knew about this matter, Liu Chengxu never asked, and with his years of experience in criminal names, he probably guessed it a long time ago, but he just thought that this incident had not happened, and he had to do it himself, otherwise, wouldn't this force Fu Shi to die?

Women are not like men, no one will say anything about men, women are white and slightly flawed, they will be forced to die, and Fu has a Lijia.

"Fortunately, after getting off the boat, Aunt Ding's body and bones are much better, so I can rest assured." Xiao Fu also discovered Aunt Ding after a few years this time, she is indeed a good mother, she can do needlework for Lirou from morning to night, and she is also a good daughter-in-law, she has no second heart for Liu Chengxu, and has always wanted to please him, and even filial piety to Mrs. Tai.

In order to show her own ability, when she was pregnant, she hoarded food, and when she read the newspaper in advance and guessed that there was going to be a food shortage, she was ready to sell it at a high price.

This person has noble personal virtues, and he has a big loss.

But Xiao Fu also knew that for such a woman, Liu Chengxu might affirm her ability, and respect her as a concubine but never exceeded her duty, but he would never fall in love with her. Because Liu Chengxu himself is a person of affection and sex in his bones, he is full of Akagi to serve the country, even if he offends people in office, he never regrets it.

Just thinking about it, Chang An said outside: "Master, madam, I have already entered Qianmen Street, and I will be there in a while." ”

Xiao Fu's eyes were intent, and he looked forward very expectantly, and soon, he could see his daughter, and her Lishu didn't know what it looked like. ：，，
