44 Chapter 44
Lishu's words obviously poked Lizhen's pain point, especially when she also revealed that Lizhen cut her strings, Lirou actually had three points of guess that Lizhen did it, but now listening to Lishu, it should be true.
But she deliberately publicized it on the occasion of so many people, I am afraid that the purpose is not pure.
The reason is that Lishu wants to get rid of her potential opponent Lizhen immediately, Lizhen is irritable and reckless, brutal and willful, mean and domineering, but she is the only daughter of a big house and has a good family background. The granddaughter of the original Shoufu, who was the granddaughter of the Zuo Governor, the Prince Taifu, and the Jinyi Guard, and the father was also the commander, and the eldest aunt's dowry was so luxurious that there were 300 dowries, and 600 women were brought in. How can Lishu compare, I heard my aunt say that Xiao Fu's marriage is only sixty-four, and there are a lot of false lifts, how can this be compared?
Now taking advantage of Lizhen's trouble, Lishu deliberately said such things, which is to damage Lizhen's face.
It's a pity, Lirou wants to marry a big event, and her parents are destined to match. Lishu does not have an advantage over Lizhen, of course, she looks at the dignity of the Zheng family today, maybe she can't look down on the girl of the Liu family at all, and she may want to marry high!
The sisters saw that Lishu was gone, Liwan quickly slipped away, anyway, it's none of her business here, why bother making a fuss, Lijia comforted Lizhen a few words, and said that there were still things to do and leave first, Lirou couldn't hide because she was on the same road as Lizhen.
Along the way, Lizhen complained tightly: "That three girls with red lips and white teeth slandered me, and they did something wrong, but they also beat me up." β
Obviously, Lirou felt that this was untrue, and she only talked about it, not much. The two walked into the flowers, and suddenly saw a young man come out, he was very polite, and when he saw a female dependent, he stopped moving, and his demeanor was particularly beautiful, like the spring moon willow, and Lang Lang was like the sun and the moon into his arms.
Lirou and Lizhen continued to move forward, although Lirou was in a trance for a moment, but quickly reacted, and looked at Lizhen again, Lizhen's face was flushed, she looked dizzy, and her words did not match the words, and her heart was written on her face.
"That's Zheng Gongzi, right?" Lizhen muttered.
Lirou said in a daze: "I don't know, fifth sister, I went down to change my clothes first, and when I ate tea, the tea spilled on my body, and it was sticky and uncomfortable." β
Lizhen still wanted to say more, but seeing her like this, she had no choice but to be excited: "I know, you go quickly, I'll talk to you later." β
Lirou breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and left with Xiangxue Xiangtian first, until she was far away, Xiangxue said: "Miss, it turns out that that one is Zheng Gongzi, no wonder several wives robbed it." β
"Silence, horizontal and vertical has nothing to do with us." Lirou restricts people, these beautiful things have never been hers, why fight, when the time comes, it will be bad to be injured by mistake.
Lishu scolded Lizhen, and she was in a good mood when she returned to the room.
Siyu brought tea and said with a smile: "My sister's scolding is really enjoyable, it is obvious that the big house is very attentive, but it is to blame you." The fifth girl squeezes you when she has nothing to do on weekdays, and she doesn't know where she is so angry with you. β
Lishu took a sip of tea, and finally figured out the problems she hadn't figured out before, why Lizhen was so targeted at herself, she always thought that it was Lijia and others who sowed discord, which is certainly one of the truths, but more importantly, Lizhen has low self-esteem.
Although she is the only daughter of the long house and was born with a golden spoon, she is not very good-looking, and she can even be regarded as ordinary. Because of her similar age, when Lishu was studying in the past, she was sneering when she was focused on her studies, and Lishu was a sparrow chirping and wanted to do things well. Now at home every day, the sisters often see each other, and they overpower her everywhere, and they refuse to bow down and be small, and never coax her, so her hatred is naturally deep.
In fact, Lishu was very envious of Lizhen in her previous life, she was also a sister, her parents were both complete, her uncle and aunt loved her so much, and she was rich and prosperous, almost everything. As for herself, except for a beautiful skin, there is no place that surpasses her, but in her previous life, she was so beautiful on her body, and she could actually be targeted.
She always feels that a person will not be targeted and jealous for no reason, is there something wrong with it? But later I found out that she didn't have any problems, but she was mentally incorrect.
Sisters of the family, why should I admit my mistake and apologize because of your bad temper and because you are younger than me, I am afraid that you will target me, it is absolutely impossible.
It's just that from now on, Mrs. Xu will definitely target her, this is certain, this is the case in her previous life, Mrs. Xu is very protective. Especially after she and Zheng Hao settled on a relationship, they always felt that they were unworthy when they looked at her, and this inexplicable hatred made her very uncomfortable, so she often didn't come out.
But every time she comes out in front of people, her beauty is impossible to ignore, and it will make people marvel at her beauty.
In this life, my mother is still there, and she also has a status in the back house, so she will not be so anxious to settle a family affair in her previous life, and Lishu has nothing to be nervous about. And Zheng Hao is nineteen years old this year, ten years older than her, and the two are not the right age.
Thinking so, she actually fell asleep.
The front hall is also a sword and sword, obviously a guest in the second room, Mrs. Xu is also very happy, she is a native of Nanzhili, and Mrs. Zheng's biological mother is also a person from Nanzhili. Talking about the relationship around the corner, Xiao Fu's cultivation is very good, and he doesn't interject, but Mrs. Liu is still bored with what Mrs. Xu said, and can't help but say: "Our family's garden has gone through three generations before it has been renovated into its current appearance, and now the garden is empty, so let the girls in our family live in it." Why don't we finish our meal later, and let's go for a walk around the garden together. β
Mrs. Zheng hurriedly said: "This relationship is good. β
Xiao Fu smiled and introduced: "We planted a few loquat trees in the garden, which are full of fruits, and I also brewed some loquat wine a few days ago. β
Mrs. Liu also agreed, and she said to Mrs. Xu, "Go and give orders." β
It's not that the old lady is targeting Mrs. Xu, it's just that she is too excited today, a little embarrassed, although the Zheng family is good, but the Liu family is also a Jinghu Ding family, so it's really a bit embarrassing to be so flattering. Besides, this Mrs. Zheng is a guest in the second room, so she should be a companion.
Although Mrs. Xu was still holding her face, she smacked when she went out.
Lunch was placed in the garden, the breeze was gentle, the food was delicious, the scenery was beautiful, and Mrs. Zheng was also in a good mood. Halfway through, after eating, Mrs. Zheng also asked her two sons to come over and greet Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu gave a gift, Fu saw that Zheng Hao was really a talent, and his nephew Fu Minglun was not much worse, but he understood why Xiao Fu ran so quickly.
Therefore, Fu Shi smiled in the tone of an elder: "My mother's family has a nephew who is the same age as Brother Hao, and they may not be able to say it when the time comes." β
Mrs. Zheng thought for a while, and then said, "You are talking about Fu Ge Lao's grandson, so it's really okay!" β
Fu Shi seems to have found the confidence to communicate, she has been in Beijing all these years, there are many more people than Xiao Fu, and her mother's Fu family is her backer, no matter who she talks about. Xiao Fu didn't tear down her sister's stage, she just listened with a smile, anyway, she achieved her goal today, and she didn't care so much else.
However, he said that Mrs. Zheng saw that Fu was in his thirties, and he spoke slowly, and she was slightly blessed, but she had a little good impression. But she knew in her heart that she was afraid that Liu Chengxu's heart would definitely be biased towards Xiao Fu, otherwise, she would not only take Xiao Fu out to meet her.
During this period, she saw that Xiao Fu served more in front of her mother-in-law than Mrs. Xu and Fu, she never grabbed words when others spoke, and her temperament was docile and peaceful, but she was very tenacious.
Xiao Fu listened to Mrs. Zheng's praise, but he was embarrassed: "It's not that I'm really generous, as the so-called husband is not guilty, but he is guilty, I am afraid of losing his life because of wealth, and our lord is a local imperial history, and he should also love the people like a son." At that time, many people were starving, so it was considered to be accumulating yin virtue. β
"It's nice to think that way." Mrs. Zheng praised.
Just when Fu thought that Xiao Fu would start recommending Lishu to play the piano or Yunyun, he saw that Xiao Fu didn't mention anything, and he really accompanied the guests. If Mrs. Zheng is interested in something, she will help accompany the guests and be very patient.
The men in front of them ate wine, Lord Zheng began to splash ink, and Xiao Fu took the excuse to change clothes first, of course, Mrs. Xu and Fu took the opportunity to talk with Mrs. Zheng about the world, and discussed the past and the present.
After a long time, when Xiao Fu came back, he said to Mrs. Zheng: "I saw that Mrs. You was very happy, so I drew a picture and gave it to you." β
When the album was opened, Mrs. Zheng was very happy, she was very thin, especially this year, when a woman was sick and always had cold, so her hands were bulging. Unexpectedly, in Xiao Fu's paintings, he actually smiled with flowers, like a lady of Wei and Jin in the flowers.
"This ......," Mrs. Zheng was overjoyed, and she didn't know what to say.
Of course, Xiao Fu achieved the greatest fulfillment of this communication, but the person she was most grateful to was not Liu Chengxu but her daughter, because if her daughter hadn't asked her to help Liu Chengxu paint prisoners with brushes when she was a child, her paintings would have been just a pastime for self-amusement.
What could be better than being able to make friends with others to help your husband with your favorite things now!
When Mrs. Zheng left, she also invited the Liu family to play next time when they moved to the new house, and everyone in the Liu family naturally agreed.
Xiao Fu's success, Mrs. Xu was already unhappy, she used to always watch the jokes of the second room, thinking that she was a cut above them, but now it's okay, Xiao Fu actually openly robbed people with herself. Of course, Mrs. Xu also knew that Xiao Fu's was nothing more than for Lishu, but she didn't want to think about it, did Lishu really have Lizhen's conditions?
Rather than having a daughter of the Liu family who can't marry the Zheng family, it's better to choose the one with the greatest possibility.
After returning home, she heard that Lizhen was scolded by Lishu, and she threw the hairpin on her head on the dresser: "What's the matter?" It's okay if I'm angry, what's wrong with Lizhen? β
Xi'er hurriedly said: "You also know that our girl has always been outspoken, but when she went to pick up Mrs. Zheng early today, she naturally felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, so she complained a few words, where did you know that the third girl instead pulled out something about Chen sesame seeds and rotten grains and said that our girl cut her strings, and said that it was the tassel that told her, and scolded our girl for being the third aunt and six women, and many people watched it." β
"This is really ......," Mrs. Xu said, as if she realized something.
In fact, Mrs. Xu didn't feel her mother-in-law's dissatisfaction with her, she disliked Aunt Su's son for being undignified, and didn't want to succeed, so she said a lot of things in front of Liu Chengzong, such as the son born of a dragon and a phoenix and a phoenix and a mouse will make holes, which made Liu Chengzong hesitate.
Can I sit on the labor and pay for it? That's not going to be possible.
There are a few good sons-in-law.
It's not that I look down on my son-in-law, but there are really few sons-in-law who are promising, and there are men in the family who have succeeded him, so why bother looking for a son-in-law, the elders are also unwilling, and the daughter will complain.
"Well, I have thought of a way to do both, she dares to bully my daughter, and in that case, I will also pass on her son to me. In the future, I won't listen to me, as for her, I have a son in my hands, and I don't dare to fight with my daughter if I forgive her daughter. "Mrs. Xu thought that in the past, Xiao Fu had only one son, and it was of course not good for her to have the only son-in-law of the stepfamily, but now that Xiao Fu has two sons, she just needs to say that she doesn't want the future son to be born undignified, and I believe that Mrs. Liu will definitely help.
And Xiao Fu also knew that Lizhen was mocking Lishu, and she snorted coldly: "It's true that the girl's family has some quarrels, but there are very few uneducated girls like her. β
Danhong naturally agreed: "It's because our sister has a good temperament, and I don't know why she always targets our sister." β
The eldest girl pointed to the Fu family, the second girl's family affairs were decided early, and the four girls came out, and these people didn't do anything with her. Our Lishu is about the same age as her, and they are both descendants. Her father is the commander of the fourth grade, and my husband is a civil official of the fourth grade, and now it is comparable, and our Daqi civil officials are stronger than military attachΓ©s, you see that the sister-in-law still wants to snatch people from us. Xiao Fu felt that Mrs. Xu was simply beyond her strength.
Danqing said: "Big lady, does she want the fifth girl to marry the Zheng family?" β
Xiao Fu nodded: "No one can't see it." But do you think her daughter can become a clan wife? The Zheng family is not a small family, and the requirements for the clan wife are very high. β
Danqing still wanted to say something, but listened to Xiao Fu's words: "That's it, we will go to the Zheng family in a few days, and I will have my own clever plan at that time." Now I still accompany the old lady to the Thanksgiving Temple, I have to recuperate. β
Thanksgiving Temple is an ancient temple of the former dynasty, many literati and scholars have left a glorious mark here, and even in the poems of Li Shuxue, there are many ancient temples written about them.
Maybe it was the Buddha's birthday, but she still heard Xiao Fu say that she knew that this day was the day of Sakyamuni's birth.
Lishu asked, "How many Buddha's birthdays are there every year?" β
Xiao Fu said with a smile: "That's a lot, there are two in April, and in twenty days it will be the Christmas of the Medicine King Bodhisattva." β
Lishu "whooped", and she heard her mother say again: "In a few days, let the tailor come to the door to make a few clothes for you, and your head and face should also be beaten." I often have to go out, but I can't always have a few things, others will laugh at them. β
"Mother, I'm still young. Your daughter is like being with you all her life and doesn't want to go out every day. "She is really allergic to the matter of marrying, she married Zheng Hao in her previous life, Zheng Hao was ordered to marry a princess and marry Yu Maozhong on the way to marry, but Yu Maozhong sold her, so that she was a stranger for the rest of her life, and even in Wusun, she was forced to change her husband three times.
Later, she became the queen mother, and someone helped her to relieve the siege and say that her life was precious, and ordinary men were not blessed.
In the end, it succeeded, and naturally there were beautiful words everywhere, but the choice of a husband and wife was not good several times, so Lishu really didn't want to marry so early.
She was even a little scared.
Xiao Fu smiled: "Who won't let you accompany me, but it's not good to be at home every day, my mother also wants my baby to accompany me, so I have confidence." β
"Okay, since it's a companion, I'm willing." Lishu knew that the last time Prince Cheng had a flower banquet, some of the people Xiao Fu had met invited Xiao Fu to go out, and she was very happy for her mother.
Thinking that the eldest brother Shurui has been enlightened, he has inherited the advantages of his father, he is very good at reading and likes to draw, and Shulin's kid is also lively and cute, Lishu feels that she is very happy in this life.
But she is vaguely worried that her mother died when she was ten years old in her previous life, and when she is ten years old in this life, will anything happen to her mother? No one knows.
But she knew that she had to protect her mother.
After getting out of the carriage, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu went in together, and the daughters-in-law were all waiting. Speaking of which, Lishu is still very envious of Mrs. Liu, at this age, whether she goes to Zhuangzi for summer vacation or comes to the temple, she is accompanied by her husband.
Mrs. Xu snatched the first stick of incense, what she begged was to be able to smoothly let her daughter marry the best man in the world, Fu and Xiao Fu both knelt silently, not knowing what they were asking for.
Lishu never believed this, and she couldn't get used to the smell of sandalwood, so after kneeling on the futon and kowtowing, she quickly got up, which made Lirou look at her several times.
She doesn't really believe in warlocks or ghosts in her heart, and the only person who can help her when she is most desperate is herself.
The Liu family was finishing worshipping the Bodhisattva, and when they heard that Prince Cheng and Princess Cheng also came to worship the Buddha, Mrs. Tai was startled: "We didn't know that Prince Cheng was coming, and the temple was not cleared, so wouldn't it be a collision with Prince Cheng?" β
The little novice smiled and said: "Prince Cheng has the best temperament, in the past, our temple was also ready to be cleared, who knew that the princess said that the temple was originally used to worship the Buddha for the common people, so she didn't pay attention to these." β
"The princess is not particular, let's go to visit one or two." Mrs. Liu sent people around her to send a post.
If Prince Cheng is willing to see it, they will kowtow, if not, they will not go.
Sure enough, Prince Cheng and Princess Cheng said that she wanted to worship the Buddha quietly and let them take care of themselves, and Mrs. Liu was also relieved.
Originally, it was best for the courtiers not to deal with the clan, especially the important position of the Liu family's family in Jinyiwei. Xiao Fu served at her mother-in-law's place, and when she saw that Lishu was a little impatient, she said to Mrs. Liu: "Old lady, I think it's a little suffocating here, it's better to let the children go out to breathe." β
"It's okay, but don't go far, you girls should follow." Mrs. Liu commanded.
The girls have long been impatient to listen to people chanting here, and it is best to go out and walk around, but the girls of the Liu family are very well-behaved, almost all of them take four girls, and walk around under the peach tree outside the Buddhist hall where they worshipped.
Lijia saw that the peach blossoms were blooming like a sea of flowers, and she was a little silent, Lishu never knew what this big sister was thinking, but she thought of the peach in the Book of Songs.
"The peach is dying, scorching its bloom. The son is home, and it is appropriate for him to live in his room. β
After Lishu finished reading, Liwan looked at her and stopped talking.
Lishu said playfully: "I know, big sister, I'll just read it casually, if you don't mean anything else, don't just chant the scriptures." β
"I can't help it." Lijia shook her head.
The two sisters seem to be intimate, but they both have ghosts in their hearts, Lishu smiled, and went to smell the taste of peach blossoms, the taste of peach blossoms is fresh and elegant, with a faint sweet fragrance.
In fact, Lijia is not in a hurry, why the Zheng family comes, Erniang and the eldest aunt are fighting so hard, it is because they all want to set up a family affair for their daughter, and the Zheng family is undoubtedly a very good choice.
Her younger sisters, who are several years younger than her, have begun to seek marriage, although her relatives have a tacit understanding of her grandfather's family, but there is no real marriage, she is a little worried.
In a blink of an eye, Lishu went to see the name next to the tower in front of the Thanksgiving Temple, many of them were scholars, and somehow she remembered Bai Juyi's poem: "The inscription under the Temple of Mercy and Grace is the youngest of the seventeen." It's just that some people resign and return to their hometowns, and some people rush to the field in the starry night, which is really ironic when you think about it. β
Just like Zheng Hao I saw before, he became the champion at such a young age, full of ambition, but because he was a princess, he couldn't take revenge in his life after all.
She looks at a person's name here, those complaining, or excited poems, as if she has seen through a person's life. came back to her senses, but saw that there were only two little girls beside her, Lishu smiled and said, "What about them?" β
"I've gone elsewhere."
Lishu nodded, and when she was about to get up, she found that a young man was staring at her intently, who was not Prince Cheng's son? Lishu quickly turned her head, but saw the man smiling at her.
Xiao Yun was wearing a winged crown, a five-clawed dragon on each of his shoulders in front of and behind him, holding a folding fan, it seemed that he had secretly come out to play, so he only brought an entourage with him.
"Say hello to the son." Lishu hurriedly saluted.
According to the rules, they even had to kneel down to avoid the road.
Xiao Yun saw that this little girl was born very well, and her attitude was gentle: "Hurry up, haven't asked the girl's name yet?" β
How could anyone ask the name of the female dependent, Lishu suddenly became a little angry, what kind of father, he is a disciple, she is righteous and a little speechless: "Shizi, men and women are not at the same table at the age of seven, not to mention that the external language does not come from the outside, and the internal speech does not come from the family." Please respect yourself. β
Xiao Yun thought it was funny, how many girls he had in the house, how many women or girls he had seen were not begging to know him, this girl was so righteous and righteous, and he didn't know if he wanted to get away with it or what?
Therefore, he smiled and said: "I don't agree with what you say, you are still a little girl, and you are not very old, I won't ask too much." β
After speaking, she was about to step forward, but Lishu took out the hairpin on her head and put it in front of her neck and said, "Don't come forward, otherwise we will all end up together, I'm not joking with you." β
Xiao Yun originally thought that she was good-looking, about eleven or twelve years old, and her body seemed to be a god, so she wanted to tease her, but she never thought that although she was young, she was innocent, and her heart suddenly rose with respect. Therefore, he hurriedly apologized: "Girl, it's me who is not good and has abruptly surprised you." There are a lot of people today, and I just heard that the peach here is good, so I'll take a look. β
Seeing that he had returned to justice so quickly, Lishu put down the hairpin in her hand, blessed herself, turned her head and left, without stopping.
Xiao Yun saw her back, and said in her heart that this woman is still young, but she is already a good friend, with a moving divine light, a beautiful appearance, and a beauty through the ages. It's just a pity, there is no one in the Liu family, and there is no military power, so it is a pity that he is not worthy of him. οΌοΌοΌ
