Lizhen is not very happy these days, her mother is sick and has to hold on, the aunt at home is pregnant, and the atmosphere at home is not good, she can also notice it.

Helplessly, she came to talk to Lirou and spit out her bitterness, "Dad is now focused on that vixen, and he doesn't even pay much attention to me, and he says that I'm not as good as Lishu." Mother, obviously unwell, you have to pretend that nothing happens, and it makes people feel anxious. ”

Lirou originally didn't like Lizhen, because she was often rude, willful, mean, and unreasonable, relying on the favor of her uncle and aunt.

But hearing Lizhen say this, Lirou was very sympathetic: "Don't worry too much, the adults are in the district, or think about it is July now, the weather is hot and dry, and I don't know if the old lady will take us to Zhuangzi this year?" ”

Sure enough, Lizhen was overjoyed when she heard this: "I'm still at ease in Zhuangzi, and I don't have so many constraints, and my grandmother doesn't care what happens to the two of us." ”

But after thinking about it, she frowned again: "It's not good, Lishu must be going to follow this year, in previous years, she studied in the Zeng family's daughter's school, but now she doesn't study, of course she wants to talk to her grandmother." ”

Lirou shook her head: "It's not that I stutter, and I should serve my grandmother." ”

"Having said that, she always robs you of your credit, she doesn't go if she doesn't want to go for the sake of her studies, and after her studies are finished, she follows the past, how can she take advantage of all the good things in the world." Lizhen couldn't help but complain.

Lirou was also uncomfortable when she heard this, but she never showed it much, and only said: "She is willing to go, and grandmother will not stop her, and we can't do anything." ”

Lizhen stood up again, helpless, she didn't want to stay under the same roof as Lishu, they hadn't said a word since the Zheng family came back last month.

However, she forced Lirou to say, "I can tell you, the two of us are on one side, don't stand on her side." ”

Lirou smiled when she heard this, she knew that Lishu was actually unpopular, and the sisters in the family didn't like her, which was also strange, probably she always thought very highly of herself, but she didn't know that being a person was also a university question.

Where does Lishu care about whether to go to Zhuangzi or not, she heard that a Tongfang surnamed Hu in her uncle's room was pregnant, and she was finally relieved, but she didn't understand.

"Why doesn't the eldest uncle have one with the eldest aunt, how good is that?"

Xiao Fu smiled: "You little girl, you are still in charge of things in other people's rooms." Your father is only responsible for quietly finding a good doctor and treating your uncle, as for which room people want to go to, that's not something we can worry about. ”

In fact, Xiao Fu has long seen that Mrs. Xu and Liu Chengzong are in harmony, Mrs. Xu's desire for power is very heavy, although the second room is in charge of the courtyard of the second room, but Fu Shi does not care because of his generosity, if it were not for this, Mrs. Xu would not have inserted so many people in, and her every move Mrs. Xu would not have known so quickly.

Maybe she always thought that Liu Chengzong couldn't give birth anyway, so she tossed with him, why Lizhen has been so domineering over the years, and there is also the meaning that her mother wants to suppress people everywhere.

But people's feelings are not called to come and go, Xu is not in business, and Liu Chengzong is not a love saint, this result is really normal.

Of course, her son doesn't have to be adopted, which is the best.

"Then I did my mother the biggest favor this time, my mother should tell me the secret, you said that you want to find someone for me to be my husband?" Lishu is coquettish.

Xiao Fu's attitude was resolute: "You, how can a little girl think so much, I have my own measure." She had to wait for the dust to settle before telling her daughter, so as not to make her happy in vain.

There was a rainstorm at night, and the green plantain leaves rustled by the rain, and Siyu wanted to get up to move the flowers, but was stopped by Lishu: "It's raining so heavily, although it's summer, but it's going to be a headache when it's raining." ”

"But those flowers ......"

"Is it the people that matter, or the flowers that matter, it's still thundering outside, don't go out. Just raise a few more pots in the future. Lishu said to her.

There was lightning and thunder outside, and Siyu was also very moved when she saw that Lishu insisted on not letting her go out, but it was a pity for those pots of flowers.

Listening to Xue also yawned: "Little hoof, the girl Bodhisattva is considerate of you, don't go out, sleep first, and when the rain stops, I'll go out with you." ”

"Okay." Siyu also knows that the girl is really good.

Mo said that the two of them bought it from outside, and even the old lady's sister Shuizhi Shuiyun also took it for her own use, all because the girl treated them so well.

The two of them kept vigil together today, and when they saw that the girl was asleep, they were both worried about the girl.

"I think that although the four girls seem to be neutral, they are vaguely biased towards the five girls, and when the time comes to go to Zhuangzi with the old lady, they will definitely be suppressed by their gangs, which is really annoying." Siyu couldn't sleep when she thought of this.

Tingxue sighed: "Yes, if the girl in our second room is in one place, she always cares about her face, she likes to fight with open fire, and she is stubborn, so it is difficult to get along." ”

Siyu snorted coldly: "I like to be reckless, I really thought she was the king of the family by relying on the eldest lady before, but now the eldest lady heard that her body is not very good, see if she can bully others." I went to Mrs. Zheng's house last month, and our girl saw that Mrs. Zheng's house smelled very good, so she asked for advice, and Mrs. Zheng said that it was given by someone else, and our girl didn't say anything. She was good, and as soon as Mrs. Zheng entered with her front foot, she sarcastically said that our girl went on the pole and didn't know each other, and secretly arranged our wife, saying that she was not a concubine, and she was careful that the high branches were not easy to climb and fall down. It's because it's in someone else's house, our wife can bear it, and the girl doesn't quarrel in general. ”

"She also got retribution, I heard that Aunt Hu, the people in the big house called her a vixen, and the eldest lady didn't like her very much, but she was pregnant. In the past, the big house seemed to be high, and the eldest lady didn't treat our wife at all every time, and last time she secretly said that our second room was messy, and now she deserves it. "Listening to Xue Ping's non-confession, I feel relieved.

Siyu also smiled: "That's right, if she has a brother, or Aunt Hu, she still wants to bully her?" ”

"I'll have a lot of fun in the future, then Aunt Hu is not a fuel-efficient lamp." Listen to Xue slowly.

The conversation between the two grew quieter, and I don't know when the rain stopped.

After a dreamless night, Lishu stretched her waist, and after freshening up, she went to wait for Xiao Fu first, and the mother and daughter went together to greet Mrs. Liu.

The first thing Mrs. Liu saw was Shulin, and Shulin also hurriedly stepped forward to ask for peace: "Grandmother An." ”

"Ouch, my little grandson is really good, he has learned to say goodbye." Mrs. Liu looked at Shulin and hugged her knees, looking very happy.

Fu's eyes were sour, still holding on, and Mrs. Xu felt that she was really in vain, originally she saw that the last time she went to Zheng's house, her daughter and Lishu quarreled and involved Xiao Fu, Xiao Fu endured it, she thought that her plan had been successful, Xiao Fu finally knew that she was afraid, where did she know that there was a fire in the backyard of the backhand.

Now I will definitely not mention the matter of succession, she is very likely to have an extra concubine, but because of this concubine, the old lady specially beat her, afraid that she would harm other people's stomachs, Mrs. Xu really has bitterness and can't say it.

She instantly felt that women were really bitter.

Xiao Fu only thought it was funny on the side, yes, you used means to rob other people's children, and even when your daughter bullied other people's daughters for many years, you looked calm, there is no such good thing in the world.

When he came back to his senses, Xiao Fu smiled and said, "I saw this kid yesterday that his sister was teaching him to salute, but I didn't expect him to look like him today." ”

Mrs. Liu glanced at Lishu: "It turned out that it was taught by the three girls, I heard your mother say that you take care of your brother when you have nothing to do, which is very good." A family should be intimate and affectionate, and it is the right way. ”

"What my grandmother said was that Shurui was studying, and I didn't have to worry about it, but this kid often wanted to play with me, and his little family was making a fuss about swinging, and I was so scared that I had to look at him." Lishu knew that in fact, Mrs. Tai should have known how Lizhen scolded her and Xiao Fu.

She doesn't hurt this or that like other old ladies, she always keeps it fair, but it's a pity that her beating is completely useless to Lizhen, Lizhen doesn't understand, but feels that she is a teacher of justice.

Soon, Mrs. Liu said: "It rained heavily last night, and the sun came out again today, and it is hotter than ever." It seems that I still have to go to Zhuangzi this year, eldest daughter-in-law, you have beads of sweat the size of beans hanging on dog days, it seems that it is a bitter summer, and everyone has lost a lot of weight, so you can go with us this time. ”

All kinds of eyes met in Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Xu was like sitting on pins and needles, her mother-in-law said this is already Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it, she followed to Zhuangzi, and when she came back, the little slut's fetus was already very stable.

Mrs. Xu still had to hold on: "Where is the old lady, how can I go to Zhuangzi as a family, and I have to take care of it at home!" ”

Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "The girls are going this year, I am old, and I have to look for you to take care of it in Zhuangzi." ”

The mother-in-law has said this, Xiao Fu hurriedly came out and said: "Sister-in-law, let's go with me, there is always a sister at home to take care of, she is a person who does things properly, you can rest assured." ”

Since childhood, the Fu family has not taken over the family power, and now the Fu family is pushed out, and it is also hoped that the Fu family can take back the rights that were encroached upon and embezzled by Mrs. Xu on behalf of the second room, of course, if she can't get it back, she is derelict in her duties, so don't blame the capable and the mediocre.

Fu Shi felt that the little Fu family was hurting her, and she was faintly unhappy in her heart, and naturally said: "Sister, where are you talking, I don't have a sister-in-law to do it, so I don't dare to pick the big beam." ”

Mrs. Xu was happy when she heard Fu's words, and hurriedly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey: "What can I do, it's just that the old lady feels sorry for me, I know, but to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival, I really can't get out." ”

"Since my sister-in-law and sister can't leave, then I'll be blessed, let's accompany the old lady over." Xiao Fu smiled.

Mrs. Liu stopped: "Shurui has just been enlightened, and Shulin still has to be taken care of by you, how can you go?" Pity my wife and son to live to this age, and be disliked by others. ”

At this time, where did Mrs. Xu dare to be strange, she had to say that she was very willing to go together, so that Mrs. Liu could open her face.

Xiao Fu looked at Mrs. Xu, and saw that she was sweating profusely, her makeup had been spent, and she lost her favor in front of her mother-in-law, and she was not sympathetic at all. On weekdays, she took advantage of the incident several times to speak in front of Mrs. Liu, hit the concubines in the family, and allowed her daughter to bully her daughter everywhere.

If it weren't for her own counterattack, now that Shurui has already passed away, I am afraid that she would have been pinched by her, and let her rub it round and flatten, so that their mother and son would be separated.

This time, the sisters of the Liu family were going to go, and Fu Shi said to Lijia gently: "You are the oldest of the sisters, and you have to take care of your sisters." ”

In fact, it's not that Fu is stupid, she just can't bear it, and it's not easy for the sister-in-law, who has no children for so many years, and now it's easy to have a happy house, and there is no need to pass the step, but it is not a concubine who does not deal with it, so it is better to pass the step! Therefore, she is very sympathetic, but now that Mrs. Liu has spoken, she is helpless.

is also a woman, she can't see this, not to mention that she and Xu's concubine have been married for many years, and the relationship is not bad. Lizhen admires Lijia even more, and the two are like sisters.

Before leaving Beijing, everywhere was packing up the cages, Xiao Fu came to clean up for his daughter, and saw Shulin holding his sister's thigh and refused to let go, and felt funny: "You want to go too, but you are too young, you are still at home with your mother, waiting for your sister to come back, okay?" ”

"Sister, I want to be with my sister." Shulin's speech became clearer and clearer.

Xiao Fu said: "That's not good, isn't it good for my mother to accompany you at home?" Your sister herself is in chaos, and when the time comes, she will have no way to go to Zhuangzi. ”

"Mother, why don't you let Shulin accompany me?" Lishu is also a little reluctant, she has a very average relationship with her sisters, and she is very good with her two younger brothers.

Xiao Fu waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense, you are still a child." You should also go to the village to recuperate, sleep more, and see that you are young, and you have dark circles under your eyes. ”

Lishu bowed her head, what she brought the most was clothes and some tooth powder and paste, but the ones next to her were fine.

Xiao Fu was reluctant to give up her daughter, but she had more important things to do, so she had to let her daughter go out alone, and carefully told her daughter: "The last time I met that Shizi, the rules of the people in this Zhuangzi are not as good as ours, so you have to be careful, rest more every day, and don't have to do anything." ”

Lishu agreed.

The rest of Xiao Fu didn't have anything to say, just afraid that she would be hungry on the road, so she went to fry a few dishes that Lishu loved to eat, and let people pack them in food boxes.

Mrs. Xu already had a lot to worry about because she wanted to go over with Mrs. Liu, and at this time, she still had the leisure to say to the housekeeper mother who stayed: "Next month is Mrs. Zheng's birthday, but unfortunately I can't leave congratulations, but the gift list must be thicker than before." ”

"Yes, it's just that why do you want to give such a generous gift to the Zheng family?" The housekeeper was afraid that Mrs. Xu would make a mistake.

Mrs. Xu naturally has her own thoughts, she originally fancied the fourth son of the Zeng family, that son is a studious person, the Zeng family does not need to say that he is related to his own family, the father of the fourth son of Zeng is prosperous, but unfortunately the third lady of the Zeng family is a snob, and the second room of the Zeng family married her niece Liwan, so it didn't work.

She originally looked at a few families, but it was far worse than the Zeng family.

Until I saw the Zheng family, what kind of family is the Zheng family, the famous family of the Zheng family in Xingyang for hundreds of years, that Zheng Hao Zheng Gongzi is like a heavenly man, he has already received the township book, and he is very good at learning, if such a person can be her son-in-law, it is not uncommon to have the fourth son of Zeng.

Of course, she also knows that her daughter's talent is not outstanding, but so what? Her daughter's dowry is extremely large, and she is the daughter of the Liu family, and she even invited Mrs. Zheng's daughter to be a lobbyist.

In this way, she can be ashamed and make her daughter have a bright future in the future.

So Mrs. Xu looked at the lady in charge and said seriously: "You must do what I ask, otherwise, I will pick your skin." ”

The housekeeper is the only lady.

Before the sun rose, Lishu set out on the road to Zhuangzi with reluctance to her mother. She and Liwan Lirou stayed with the old lady, while Mrs. Xu took Lizhen and Lijia in the carriage together.

Mrs. Liu saw that Lishu started sleeping as soon as she got into the carriage, and laughed at her: "Third girl, what's wrong with you?" I usually see that you are in excellent spirits, but now why are you so sleepy. ”

"Yesterday, Shurui went to me and asked me to play with him, Shulin wanted to pester me to sleep, and the two little dolls pressed their legs on me, so it's strange that I can sleep well. The child's energy is really good, so the granddaughter didn't sleep well. After Lishu finished speaking, she fell asleep again.

Mrs. Liu pointed at her with a smile: "You are still a child yourself." ”

Lirou can't insert these words, her aunt is no worse than Xiao Fu's, and she is stronger when it comes to housekeepers and dealing with everyone, but she is not favored, and she is not as good at enveloping her father as Xiao Fu, so that Aunt Ding seems to have been forgotten.

Lishu smiled and groaned: "Grandmother, my mother said that there is a custom called ten years old over there, isn't it?" If you pass the Tong Pass, will your life be smooth? ”

"Well, there is indeed such a saying, your father was very grand when he was ten years old, and many people came!" Mrs. Liu fell into the memory, she was still very young at that time.

After Lishu finished speaking, she fell asleep again, and Liwan wiped the sweat on the tip of her nose for her: "You can sleep in such a hot spot, be careful that you bump your head on the bump." ”

"No, it won't." Lishu really said she would sleep when she said she would.

So that to the Zhuangzi, the cool breeze hit, she was in excellent spirits, she was the first time to come to the Zhuangzi, only felt comfortable and open, everywhere there were birds singing and flowers, so while the people were cleaning up, she asked people to set up the piano, play a song of mountains and rivers, and talk about their hearts.

Mrs. Xu also heard the sound of the piano, she was serving Mrs. Liu, and felt that people like Lishu were only suitable for making beautiful ornaments, playing the piano and painting as a vase, how could anyone make a living from these.

Only those who really do the housewife know that there are seven things to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

So, most of the time, Mrs. Xu Zhuangzi quietly taught her daughter how to settle accounts, how to manage people, and how to read various contracts. Lizhen wanted to go out to play with Lirou, but was stopped by Mrs. Xu: "You don't always have to be angry with the three girls, you should think about where your strengths are, so that you can go further." ”

Lizhen didn't understand: "What are the strengths you are talking about?" ”

"Silly girl, what I'm talking about is the strengths. No matter how fanciful you say, as a housewife, the most important thing is to take care of the family business and social. This is especially important to take care of the family business, for example, now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, can you buy mooncakes now? The price is not only expensive, but the good ones are all picked out. There are also what gifts to give during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which families to prepare to give to, how many people in the clan take advantage of the autumn breeze during the festival, and how many silver taels are you ready to take. These are the most serious things, who listens to the pianos she plays? When Mrs. Xu saw that her daughter was older, she couldn't help but say a few more words, especially when she wanted to be close to the Zheng family, she couldn't be sloppy.

Zheng Hao is the son of the sect!

Seeing this, Lizhen had no choice but to learn from Mrs. Xu, and the mother and daughter were still in charge of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Zhuangzi, which was booming.

Seeing this, everyone's reactions were also different, Lijia didn't express any opinions, only buried herself in needlework, no one knew what she was thinking, Liwan and Lirou always flattered Mrs. Liu, but Lishu slept when she was free.

Even Mrs. Liu said: "Lishu, this lazy girl, I don't know how long it has been since I slept." ”

Liwan smiled and said, "Yes, I never thought she was a lazy girl, I remember when she was studying, she got up very early." ”

Lirou, who listened to this on the side, felt that Liwan was not good at stubble, and now she was taking Lishu's eye medicine here with Mrs. Tai, but the best person with Lishu on weekdays was her, she was really unseemly.

Now Liwan is clearly saying that Lishu is lazy and unwilling to serve her grandmother.

Lirou lowered her eyes, only to hear a female voice outside, also smiling: "Grandmother, look, I'm only a little late, and I've been choreographed by the second sister." ”

Liwan looked calm, but said, "You girl, you are too late to talk like this." ”

"I wasn't late, I went to cook sour plum soup for my grandmother early in the morning, and I didn't know if my grandmother wanted to drink sour in the morning, so I went to make a cup of walnut pine nut tea." Lishu didn't seem to care about Liwan's maggots at all.

Rao is Mrs. Liu is more pity for Lirou, but on the bright side, Lishu is so filial, she also likes it very much.

Lishu is also very measured, and she doesn't ask Lizhen about anything, which makes Mrs. Liu look down on her. With the help of Mrs. Xu, Lizhen hosted a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet on Zhuangzi this time, and she really praised Lizhen from top to bottom, although Lishu and Lizhen did not get along, but they would not gossip about Lizhen everywhere.

At this point, Lirou thinks that why Lishu is stronger than Lizhen is that she is stronger here, no matter what, people will never jump to the foot and be in a hurry, and deliberately do something harmful to others and themselves.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that Lirou feels that Lishu is very scary.

Since this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Lizhen has been praised by the old lady and Mrs. Tai several times, as if she has been proud, knowing Mrs. Xu's hard work, she also began to calm down to learn the important affairs of the house, which made Mrs. Xu feel a lot more at ease.

Of course, Lishu was also treated poorly by Lishu because of this, such as sending two satins with the ugliest colors, Shui Zhi's face darkened when she saw it: "Our girl is young, and she can't fool people like this, what kind of clothes are these, blue-black or colorful bats, and a musty smell, I don't know where to clean it up from the bottom of the box?" ”

"I knew that she couldn't hide two taels of sesame oil in her belly, and I thought she had really grown, but I didn't expect this technique to be so shallow." Lishu was speechless, isn't this the handle that was sent?

Fortunately, Mrs. Xu was more sensible than Lizhen, so she immediately sent someone to say that she had sent the wrong one, and specially sent two bright satins over, and Lishu shook her head.

Afterwards, Mrs. Xu criticized Lizhen again: "Tell me about you, send this thing, that Lishu is a bully, if you sue your grandmother, even I will eat and hang up." ”

"She's only worthy of this, if it weren't for her, last time I would have been told to be cautious, saying that I cut her strings, purely to slander me with red mouth and white teeth." Lizhen said that there are good words.

Mrs. Xu said angrily: "You also have a snack, after Chongyang, we are going back, do you remember what my mother said to you?" ”

Lizhen nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Remember, remember, it's that Young Lady Lu, you told me." ”

"It's good that you know, but everything is good and you have to decide early, Zheng Hao is not young, if you don't start first, then it's too late to regret it." Mrs. Xu was very thoughtful, her daughter was not very old, but Zheng Hao was twenty years old, if it weren't for filial piety, she would have been married a long time ago.

Lizhen has long been pregnant with a young girl, and her face is flushed for Zheng Hao, so she will be patient with Lishu for the time being, and she will definitely be able to suppress her in the future.

Just after more than two months on Zhuangzi, the weather began to turn cooler, Mrs. Xu was already like an arrow, Mrs. Liu also sent a message to go back together, Mrs. Xu sat in Mrs. Liu's carriage, all the way was very attentive, but a little uncertain, the right eyelid jumped in the morning, and I didn't know what was going on.

Who knew that as soon as the carriage arrived at Liu's Mansion, she saw the famous matchmaker Zhuang Niangzi in Beijing going out from the door, she hurriedly stopped and asked: "Zhuang Niangzi, who are you talking to?" ”

Zhuang Niangzi said with a smile: "Naturally, it is the daughter of your mansion, Zheng Zhanshi and your mansion are the right people, Zheng Dagongzi has already received the township book, and now he is the master of the people, the three girls of your mansion, it is both talented and beautiful, this is not, the eight characters are combined, guess what, it is said that the two birds will meet again when they are temporarily separated." Although the three girls of your mansion still have a few years to reach the end of their lives, they can't get married immediately with the eldest prince of Zheng for the time being, but they are very fateful, and they are really tied by a thousand miles of marriage! It doesn't get much better than that. ”

Mrs. Xu can usually speak well, but her heart is choked, and she even stammered: "This ...... When did this happen, and why didn't I know it? ”

Mrs. Liu looked at her strangely: "It's not in line, why tell you." ”

"But ......," Mrs. Xu wanted to say, but that was her favored son-in-law.

Mrs. Liu frowned: "Why do you have to tell you everything about the second room?" ”

Zhuang Niangzi saw that this Mrs. Liu was acting a little strangely, and she didn't dare to stay longer, anyway, she was going to the Zheng family to ask for a reward. But Mrs. Xu was stunned and was helped in, she saw Xiao Fu come out with a smile, pointed at her and said, "You, you ......" The words behind it are not easy to say.

Xiao Fu squeezed her hand and whispered, "Sister-in-law, it's all mine, I didn't have time to tell you." How about it, last time you praised me for being very good with Mr. Zheng, I also think he is very good, and we Lishu are really a natural pair. ”：，，
