41 Chapter 41

When the mother dies, her own son should serve her for three years, and the other sons should only serve hemp. Filial piety is made of fine linen cloth and is served for three months. Lishu and the others had already changed into fine linen clothes.

Aunt Su originally left the impression that everyone was greedy, but why didn't anyone around her follow, this is strange. Now he is the housekeeper of the Fu family, and the Fu family is not there, and the big girl tassel helps to patrol the night stewardship, and the relationship between the tassel and Aunt Su is difficult to explain clearly.

Liu Chengxu has been sentenced for a long time, and the Liu family is also the family of Jinyiwei, so he can suspect that the tassel is related to Aunt Su's death almost without inference. Soon Cherry was approached for questioning, and before she could be cured of her dereliction of duty, Cherry was scared to do anything.

"It's my aunt looking for the tassel girl, she has made an appointment with Lao Feng, who is guarding the door, and asked people to tie up the tassel girl and go out to sell. I was scared, so I didn't go. ”

Xiao Fu pretended to be angry: "I really didn't expect Aunt Su to attack the tassel." Cherry, you have to be honest, Aunt Su admitted her mistake to the tassel girl last time, why do you want to kill her now? ”

Cherry kowtowed desperately: "Back to the second wife's words, the slave doesn't dare to lie." The grapes that my aunt originally served were the tassel's sister, and the grapes were given by the Su family's uncle back then...... Finish. Therefore, after the last accident, Aunt Su said that the tassel was ruthless and was afraid that the tassel would retaliate against her. ”

Liu Chengxu said in his heart, I am afraid that Aunt Su wanted to start first, but because of a stomachache halfway through, she ran to the toilet and was killed. Aunt Su is certainly not a good thing, but this tassel-

"Xianggong, I heard that this tassel was originally a dog maid next to the old lady, and then she took the initiative to serve the four girls, and then a few days later, she was knocked into the river on a flat ground, saying that she saved her sister. Therefore, she was very important to her sister, and someone saw her take the initiative to find Liu Daquan that day, and then somehow shouted for help outside the master's study. "Xiao Fu knows that he should make a move, since this tassel is here to take revenge, now that Su Daquan has been disabled, and Aunt Su is dead, how can she tolerate such a person staying in the Liu family.

Besides, it was merciful for her to do such a thing, and to drive her out to save her life.

Liu Chengxu still believes in Xiao Fu's very much: "Is this really the case? ”

Xiao Fu nodded: "My sister is honest, I don't know this, I really treat her as a life-saving benefactor." It's just that no one knows what she has in mind. I listened to what Yulan said, saying that she had bad intentions. ”

"Okay, these things are also related to her, Aunt Su is self-inflicted, but tassels are not fuel-efficient lamps, but she avenges her sister, and it can be seen that she is not afraid of power, and revenge will be avenged. It's just that such a person stays in our Liu family and doesn't know how many things will happen in the future, so let's drive them out. "Liu Chengxu still has to take care of Liwan and Shujing Shuyi, if Aunt Su just goes, she can also say that she is sick and goes in a hurry, and she covers it well, and outsiders will not say anything. But if it is a variety of confrontations, hitting a mouse and hurting the jade bottle, an aunt colludes with her subordinates to buy and sell the big girl in the house, which is also the source of chaos.

Xiao Fu praised: "Xianggong has always been a bodhisattva, benevolent, always impartial, and will not favor anyone because of his uneven status, which really makes me admire." ”

In this way, the steward quickly called Tassel's father to lead her out, in fact, when Fu Shi just entered the door, Tassel explained everything, but before the day was over, she was about to be invited out.

Fu Shi looked at her and said: "The master has always acted very fairly, and he will not punish because of his identity, but now it is already open to the net to drive you out." I have two hundred taels of silver here, and you take it out to make some small deals with your family, and I will release your deed. I just hope that in the future, you will not be trapped by hatred again and live your own life. ”

Tassel was grateful, she kowtowed three times, and seeing that the person who came to take her was urging one by one, she wanted to speak and stopped, but finally couldn't help but step forward and said: "Madam, you have to be careful of the third wife." ”

She can only say that, originally the tassel thought that according to the tacit understanding of Xiao Fu's or watching the fire from the other side, she didn't expect her to make a decision to drive herself out immediately, this person is a hundred times scheming higher than Fu's, Fu is not her opponent at all, and even he doesn't dare to compete with her at all.

Fu Shi was stunned.

Relatives or remnants of sorrow, others have also sang.

In addition to Liwan and her two brothers being sad, but after being sad, they were even more afraid that it would be rumored that their mother had fallen into the toilet and died, such an indignity would also affect them, but fortunately, the Liu family has always been very strict with people, and no one dared to say anything to their faces.

There are also Aunt Su's two sons who have to keep filial piety for their biological mother for three years, and the matter of inheritance will be over.

No one would associate this matter with Xiao Fu's family, including Lirou, who said to Aunt Ding: "My daughter must have nothing to do with the tassel when she sees Aunt Su's death, otherwise the second wife will not send her out so quickly." ”

In Lirou's heart, she also felt that the tassel was too much to repay.

"No, a girl with a tassel, how can the plan go so smoothly, someone must be secretly guiding. It's her, it must be her, she must know what happened back then, but she has endured it for so many years, and she will be killed with one blow. Aunt Ding was shocked.

Lirou couldn't help but ask, "Mother, who is it?" ”

"It's Xiao Fu, it must be her, it must be her." Aunt Ding felt that she had guessed.

Lirou was puzzled: "What is the deep hatred between her and Aunt Su?" ”

Aunt Ding touched her daughter's hair and explained: "Back then, your father favored Xiao Fu, she was very favored, and it happened that his wife's son died at this time, but she became pregnant after many years. You also know that Aunt Su's heart is to pass on her stepson to Changfang, but if Xiao Fu gives birth to a son, how can she pass on? Where is her son comparable to Xiao Fu's son, no matter what, if Xiao Fu gives birth to a son, it will be considered a concubine. And the people around the wife hated Xiao Fu's son for causing Fu's son to die, so the two of them were connected in series, the second girl had chickenpox at the beginning, and Aunt Su also sent clothes with acne sores over. ”

"Is it so harmful to Xiao Fu's?" Lirou asked anxiously.

Aunt Ding shook her head: "Not only did it not hurt, but Mother Rao and others were also betrayed by the master, I thought that she didn't know about Aunt Su's affairs, or she decided to forget it, but I didn't expect that after so many years, Aunt Su would die because of it." ”

Lirou thought that Aunt Su would have died when she died, but she still let her drown, so dead, it was impossible for the second brother and the third brother to be adopted.

It's really murderous, and it's heart-wrenching.

Therefore, Aunt Ding looked at her daughter and said, "What you told me a few days ago, I already expected that I also saw that my lord was sick, and I had no money to buy medicine, so I fell into Xiao Fu's trap again." She pretends to be weak and weak, but she just holds the master, so we are in danger now, we must be dormant, don't be strong. ”

Lirou secretly hid these in her heart, and looked at Aunt Ding again: "My daughter knows." ”

"If you stay in the green mountains and don't worry about running out of firewood, hasn't Xiao Fu endured it for so many years?" Aunt Ding didn't expect Xiao Fu to be so ruthless, it's not that she has no means, it's just that she has no favor.

But it was said that Lishu was painting with her father, and Mrs. Liu sent three paintings, one was a picture of a hairpin lady, one was a picture of flowers and birds, and one was a picture of galloping horses.

Xiao Fu is very accomplished in painting, she first talked to Lishu a little bit about paper and painting, Lishu pointed to the picture of the lady on it and said: "Then why is this lady's body fat and rich?" ”

"Silly girl, you look at Zhang Xuan's "Pounding Practice" in the Tang Dynasty, the mural "Chess Lady" in the Western Regions, the Tang Dynasty painter's "Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu" and Zhou Fang's "Hairpin Lady" These paintings in the Tang Dynasty are relatively rich, it can be said that in the Tang Dynasty, plump is beautiful, and roundness and fullness are the essence of the lady's picture." Xiao Fu taught Lishu to paint.

Lishu was taught a lot, Liu Chengxu also studied calligraphy and painting, he taught Lishu to look at paper, look at fonts can see people's mood and ambition.

Probably this is what I have heard and seen, in Zhu Mama's place, Lishu knows how to lie down and behave beautifully, how to look like she was born beautiful, but many things like this are not things she can teach.

The family of three tasted for a while, and Liu Chengxu took the first step when there was something outside, leaving Xiao Fu and Lishu there, and the mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled.

Seeing that his daughter was dressed in fine linen, Xiao Fu commanded: "She is also your mother-in-law, and there are still three months, and you must wear it until the last day." ”

Lishu understood: "My daughter knows. ”

She knew very well that the tassel was kicked out very neatly after taking revenge, and this set could almost be seen in her mother's handwriting, and she would never really tolerate adultery. Tassels are very good-looking, and in order to succeed by any means, even if such a person grabs her handle, but if he is not careful, he will put himself in danger, so it is better to rush out in advance to solve his worries.

As for why Aunt Su ate too much and went to the toilet, and why no one rescued her when she soaked in the toilet, there was not only the tassel plan, but also Xiao Fu's encouragement.

But it's not a pity for Aunt Su to die like this, it's just ......

"Mother, Aunt Su died so undignified, it is not easy for the second or third brother to succeed. Will the younger brothers be adopted by then? My daughter didn't really want to. Lishu said.

Xiao Fu patted Lishu's hand: "You don't want me, I don't want to, we don't have to make our family rich and noble, so that our mother and son are separated." Besides, I won't do it to your aunt. ”

Lishu nodded: "I know that the person who takes advantage of it suffers a big loss, and besides, he is not someone else's child, how can someone hurt it?" Aunt Su's sons have passed away, and the big house will also respond. ”

Xiao Fu smiled: "It's good that you understand this truth, besides, there are also your aunt and Aunt Ding, maybe they will have heirs, and they will also want to succeed in the future, I don't want to splash the sky with wealth, I just hope that our family is safe and sound." ”

After three months of dressing, the girls of the Liu family made a spring shirt, and the color of the spring shirt was very tender, either goose yellow or pink or light green. Compared with cutting new clothes, the most important thing is to divide the yard, the girl's family is bigger, Mrs. Liu asked the eldest lady Xu to clean up a few yards in the back garden for the girls to live in.

"You should also have some official daughters, and you are all sisters, and you can learn some ways to get along with each other, and when you go out in the future, your sisters are all daughters of the Liu family, and you must support each other." Mrs. Liu advised.

In fact, an aunt died in the second room, and Mrs. Liu really didn't care, after all, she was just an aunt. But there are too many evil things happening in the second room, and there are always taboos for older people. As the saying goes, the family and everything is prosperous, and the second room is because there are several wives, and the aunts don't listen to the main lady, and they are all in their own ways and are not good at discipline, so they fight with each other.

The only thing is to be separated from their biological mothers, which can not only allow them to manage their own yards, but also enhance their sisterhood. Moreover, Lizhen of the big house is too favored by the eldest son and his family on weekdays, and he doesn't know how to be humble, so they all live together, and they can also understand the height of their eyebrows, and they will marry sooner or later in the future.

Her old man decided, so she told a few daughters-in-law, and Xiao Fu said first: "The old lady said this, of course, it is very good, and it also makes their sisters more affectionate." ”

In fact, she is not worried about Lishu, and she also hopes that Lishu can have a yard of her own, and it should be an experience for her to be able to manage her own yard.

And Fu also agreed, her daughter Lijia is getting older, and Liwan is also a girl to be married, so it is indeed better to live alone.

Although Mrs. Xu was reluctant in her heart, she couldn't help it, everyone agreed, and she had to agree, but she made the first move and chose the best courtyard for her daughter Lizhen, which was the most gorgeous, resplendent like a fairy residence. The peonies planted at the gate of the courtyard are all red of various colors, and only the ones that are recognized are the Lingbo fairy, the thousand pleated hydrangea, the purple glamorous pearls, the purple glamorous wheels, and the flowers are fiddling in front, a rich scene.

Inside, all kinds of rare treasures are arranged, pasted pearl yarn to make window screens, soft smoke Luo to make yarn tents, out of the door, and carved fences and jade bricks, the first-class rich atmosphere.

Lijia lives in a quiet place, Liwan has always been afraid of heat, so she lives near the water, Lirou lives in an unpartitioned place because she likes to be spacious, but Lishu because she likes books, so she chose a small and exquisite house.

After dividing the yard, Xiao Fu took Lishu to distribute it, and half of Lishu's own private room was to buy books, and the other half was taken out to buy things for Xiao Fu's family.

Xiao Fu waved his hand, and Lishu said: "Mother, I know that you have added two younger brothers now, and you have to supplement them in private, my monthly silver is enough, I will take these out and buy a good yard, and I will live comfortably, so you can promise me." ”

In this way, Xiao Fu accepted it unceremoniously.

Lishu first raised the lotus in a jar at the door, and when she came in from the door, there was a sheep intestine path, and the road was made of cobblestones, and she had three small rooms here, and the two bright rooms that were connected to the sun from the inside were arranged into a study and piano room.

I bought two pairs of drum stools, a pair of rose chairs, and two sets of the most fashionable tea sets. The hall in the middle was used as a flower hall for entertaining guests, and the decoration here was the most exquisite, and it could be regarded as the most exquisite with the least amount of money.

The west side is used for needlework on weekdays, so the curtain on the other side is a Xiangfei curtain, and the east residence is a bead curtain.

Lishu was on the side of the flower hall, and asked people to buy a mahogany case from outside, and asked her mother to decorate it with gold powder with begonia style flowers, and she drew a picture herself, so that people could follow the cup holder she painted, which is the most ingenious place she made to place the tea set, all kinds of peony patterns, begonia patterns, and lotus patterns of teaspoons she wanted, which can be rotated at will, which looks exquisite, but in fact it only cost two taels of silver.

There are also light pink porcelain cups, amber glass cups, white jade cups, and a set of tea sets made by Lishu.

What's more ingenious is that she soaked the pollen she collected last year on various colors of silk cloth, and after the silk cloth dried, she made all kinds of flowers, which was taught to her by Hu's mother, especially to make raw flowers, which is simply Hu's mother's specialty.

These silk flowers are decorated with pearl and jade malachite, and in the light, they actually look brilliant and dazzling.

It can be seen that there is not a lot of money, and it is still possible to decorate this place very exquisitely.

Compared to Lishu, others didn't spend so much effort to clean up the room, Lijia didn't clean up at all and lived in, the paper windows and wooden couches in the house, a wash of wealth. Since Aunt Su's death, Liwan's private property has been divided equally between her brother and sister by Xiao Fu's family, and Liwan has been gifted by the Zeng family, she has a lot of private wealth, and she will plan money on weekdays, so that the two girls next to her will help clean up.

There is Lirou again, it was Mrs. Liu's mother who helped clean it up, and unlike Lishu, Aunt Ding asked Lirou to get closer to Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu saw that Lirou was too dependent on herself, so she asked Wei's mother to privately open the warehouse and give Lirou several good things.

Lirou was mostly cleaned up according to Mrs. Liu's preferences, Lishu walked in to see, she didn't like it very much, she felt that the color was too dull when Mrs. Liu was there, but Lirou liked it.

And when everyone went to see Lishu's yard, they all secretly felt good.

Lijia pinched her face: "It was said that you are busy cleaning up the yard these days, and I see that your face is a little smaller." ”

"It's nothing, it's always a place to live, and it looks good to clean it up by yourself." Lishu smiled.

Originally, Lizhen was really golden and brilliant, but now I see that Lishu is full of lace cushions here, which is completely different from the traditional pattern of red in her place, which is very elegant and beautiful.

Then there is her tea set, which is different for everyone, all kinds of teaspoons. This tea set of hers has a total of seven layers, and each layer has seven small boxes, which looks breathtaking.

After she went back, she was going to find Mrs. Xu to make a tea shop that was exactly the same as Lishu, which made Mrs. Xu couldn't help but say: "You have a special tea room here, what else do you have a Rausch tea house?" ”

Seeing that Lishu doesn't have any money, Xiao Fu's dowry is not much, not to mention the little uncle, but people can buy it for twenty taels is amazing, and his daughter guards a golden house, but envy other people's thatched houses, I really don't know what to say.

Mrs. Xu said seriously: "You don't know yet, your third uncle's fellow is now serving as Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu, originally he was filial piety for three years because of his mother's funeral, and now he is re-appointed as Zhan Shi in the East Palace to which the prince belongs, and he is the official of Zheng Sanpin." ”

Lizhen spread her hands: "What does this have to do with me?" Everyone knows that the second uncle has always been very social. ”

"You don't know this, this colleague of your uncle is from the Zheng family in Xingyang, and he is the fifth surname of Qiwang in the previous dynasty. There is also an in-law relationship with the ancestor of the Liu family, this Lord Zhan was originally the son of the prime minister, and his son was well-read, talented, and dignified, and praised him as a prime minister. "Of course, Mrs. Xu has a plan.

What kind of family is the Zheng family, it is a high-ranking official for generations, and the son of the Zheng family is the pride of the sky. It's a pity that the second uncle is so willful that his official position is low, but her lord is a high-ranking official in Jinyiwei, if the second uncle is willing to say this family matter for his daughter, it doesn't hurt for her to succeed the son of the second room, anyway, she always has to succeed one.

As for who she succeeds, she doesn't care.

Anyway, when the time comes, the family can give him this position, but her dowry and money in the family must be all married to her daughter.

You can't have both.

At the same time that Mrs. Xu was tempted, Lirou was the most calm, and she said to Aunt Ding: "I heard that the Zheng family is going to visit the family, and even the old lady is very solemn to let people re-sprinkle it." But the better the things, the less they tend to belong to me, so, auntie, you don't have to tell me this, I'll just avoid it. ”

Aunt Ding was also relieved when she saw that her daughter understood what was going on: "I'm afraid that you will fight, now I have no favor, I can't speak, and I'm just an aunt." This Zheng family may not look down on our family, I only heard my wife once say that the relationship between Lord Zheng and our master is irreversible, not an ordinary relationship. It's fighting, I'm afraid it's also your eldest sister and your third sister fighting? I heard that even the eldest lady of the big house is also inquiring. ”

Lirou thought that she had to avoid it even more, the eldest sister has a grandfather, and a large dowry, and is the eldest daughter of the Liu family, the third sister Lishu's mother is favored, she is talented and beautiful, and her temperament especially likes to suppress others, and then there is a Lizhen, the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter, her father is a confidant of the Son of Heaven, and a high-ranking official, her mother is the granddaughter of the prime minister, in short, all of them are better than her.

She can't take the plunge, otherwise she will be eaten alive by this group of people.

As everyone knows, after listening to Xiao Fu's words, Lishu first said: "This Zheng Gongzi is indeed very good, but she is ten years older than me, and when her daughter is born, he will be twenty-five." ”

When he heard that Zheng Hao was the champion, he was valued by the emperor at a glance, and saw that he was young and learned well, and his family background was outstanding, and he was handsome, so he was made a concubine in the photo.

Even he had already made a marriage contract, and he was on the sedan chair, and Zheng Hao was recovered.

In fact, Lishu knew that Zheng Hao was very good, after he and himself were married, during which his father was also demoted to Chuzhou, and the Zheng family still did not regret the marriage at that time. In fact, I heard that Mrs. Zheng was not very satisfied with her, and felt that her life was thin, and she was not as rich and blessed as her eldest sister Lijia, but the Zheng family still went to Chuzhou to marry her.

Even later, when she came back from Wusun Kingdom and knew how she was sold, he blamed herself very much.

Such a good person is trapped in the identity of a concubine, and she can only serve as an idle official if she is talented all her life, she can't be so selfish, even if she knows that Zheng Hao is a good candidate for her husband, but her age is now less than ten years old, Zheng Hao should marry a woman who is close to her husband and get married as soon as possible, so that he will not be caught by the emperor on the list, and he can also show his ambitions. :,,
