"Girl, put the soup lady on board, it was windy this night, and my wife was not at ease, and said that you should put on that fox fur and hood." Siyu dutifully helped Lishu put on a fox fur.

Lishu smiled: "I'm wearing a forehead wipe and a fox fur, and people can't walk anymore." ”

Even so, she is a night patrol in the wind and snow, and it is not her turn to deal with her, but she will write down her name dutifully. Some of these mothers-in-law were tricky, and they were quickly cleaned up, some were fined for a month, and some were beaten on the board, and the lawsuit of theft at home at night was useless.

got on the sedan chair, and Lishu deliberately came down everywhere she went, guarding the door and whether they were keeping vigil seriously.

After returning to the yard, her body was covered with wind and frost, and the girls twisted the hot handkerchief and came over, Lishu wiped her face and came back to life. She neither shouted bitterness nor tiredness, so much so that she was teased by her father.

As soon as he walked in, Liu Chengxu smiled and said, "The little housekeeper is here." ”

"Stinky Daddy." Lishu snorted coldly.

Seeing that she was neither big nor small, Xiao Fu couldn't help but say, "Lishu, don't be big or small with your father." ”

"Mother, you always favor your father, and your daughter really has nothing to say." Lishu pouted.

Xiao Fu scratched his daughter's nose, "Little ghosts and spirits, they are all ten years old, and they are still coquettish like this." When I was ten years old, my relatives praised you for how tall you were. ”

Lishu smiled: "They all say that I look like I am twelve years old, and some people still like my clothes, and quietly let her mother go back to do the same with me." ”

The mother and daughter said a few more gossips, Shulin has been carried over to the room, and Shurui has already gone to study, in any case, the Liu family doesn't care if the girls have a headache and brain fever and ask for leave to study, but they are very strict with their son.

Lishu thought that this was really unfair, if every woman could be required by her family to study hard, she would definitely be no worse than a man, because most women only asked that "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented", and that she should teach her husband and children, and marry a good family, so that women can fold their wings by themselves.

I went through these in my mind, and then I heard Xiao Fu and Liu Chengxu say: "After my sister came back from Fu's house, she had a high fever and talked nonsense, and people were also chaotic, I asked the doctor to watch it twice, and let the eldest girl take care of it." ”

"I'll take a look later." Liu Chengxu said.

Xiao Fu nodded: "It's best for you to go to visit the patient, I went to see it, and I have to be busy with the Zheng family's Xiaoding here, and I can't get rid of it." ”

Lishu listened to her father's words, and said in her heart Could it be that the Fu family said something, after her birthday in previous years, the eldest sister's birthday must be several times bigger than her, she knew it, but there was no movement this year.

But she couldn't think of that anymore, because the Liu family and the Zheng family were going to Wending, and maybe she would be able to see Zheng Hao again. Although it is said that they can't meet in person, the second sister met Zeng Gongzi in private last time.

Speaking of Zeng Yunxi, the son of Zeng, she thought of Zhong Yunran again, that Miss Zhong didn't know what was going on, now the two sides are officially married, Zeng Yingxiu is not good to say anything, Lishu was busy that day, and she actually forgot to ask.

From time to time, Xiao Fu took Lishu and Shulin to greet Mrs. Liu, Liwan and Lirou arrived first, and when they saw Xiao Fu coming in, they quickly got up together.

"Old lady, it's all my fault, I'm late." Seeing that Mrs. Xu had arrived, Xiao Fu hurriedly pleaded guilty.

Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "Now you have done a few things well at home, and you still have to take care of the children, which is really difficult for you." ”

Xiao Fu didn't take credit either, she said to Mrs. Xu: "When the sister-in-law is well, it's best to leave it to the sister-in-law, I'm an ignorant person, but I'm busy enough these days." ”

Lishu sat still, seeing that Lizhen didn't come, she knew that she must be sleeping lazy again, anyway, Mrs. Xu helped her cover. Mrs. Xu is talking about entering the palace, and every New Year's Day, the wives have to enter the palace to celebrate, but her own mother ......

Because my father has two wives, Fu and Xiao Fu, he simply didn't ask for a decree for his wife, because it's not good to pass it on to the top, and who else can I give this edict to? Another question.

Therefore, often at this time, the mother can only stare dryly, if it is said that the father's official position was small before, it is okay, and now they are all officials of the fourth grade, but the mother still can't go out to socialize as a wife, which is really a loss.

After the adults finished speaking, Mrs. Liu said again: "Your aunt sent someone to send a box of velvet flowers, saying that it was made inside, and it was the most fashionable nowadays. Divide among you sisters. ”

Liwan saw the opportunity, "Let my sister choose first, it will be her good day soon." ”

"Let's let the eldest sister choose first, the eldest lady is uncomfortable these days, let's just come in order." Lishu doesn't take it big.

Lirou also said that her sisters chose her and then chose her, and they didn't compete.

Mrs. Liu, who was looking at this, couldn't help nodding, and said to Xiao Fu: "You have raised these children very well." ”

Xiao Fu said: "Where is the credit of the daughter-in-law, it is clearly the old lady's upbringing, so that they know the height of their eyebrows." ”

In the past few months, several girls have begun to take care of the house, and they are no longer coquettish, they are all generous, and their progress is visible to the naked eye. Liwan manages the two rooms, she is very diligent, not to mention that Lishu has ideas and is willing to work hard, she is still really good for the Liu family, and even Lirou has learned checks and balances from the beginning, and now she dares to play and suppress the lessons, which can be said to have their own growth, these are the credits of Xiao Fu's family.

In a blink of an eye, on the day of Xiaoding, the Liu family just invited people close to them to come over for dinner, and the Fu family sent Grandma Fu over.

Lishu is also a new guest today, the upper body is a pomegranate red silk cloud brocade buckle jacket, the lower body is equipped with the same color embroidered tassel hanging silk palace skirt, the head from the previous bun and baotou to Chaoyun near the fragrant bun, because they have not yet married, the hair in front is pulled up, and the hair in the back is still hanging down.

After greeting the elders, Lishu raised her eyes, and the women who came naturally had to make jokes.

Lishu endured her red face and only put on a shy face.

Zeng Yingdan, the daughter of the second wife of Zeng, said to Liju: "Your sister really chose a good family, I heard my mother say that the Zheng family in Xingyang is not an ordinary family, a famous family for hundreds of years, the prime minister, his father is a high-ranking official, he is already a person at a young age, and even many princes and prime ministers want to marry their daughters to him, but I didn't expect to choose your sister." ”

"That's not it yet." Lirou smiled, she knew that Zeng Yingdan was also talking about her relatives, Zeng Yingdan was completely different from her sister, she liked yellow and white things, her temperament was arbitrary, she was very arrogant, she could still pretend to be good, but she didn't know at all, Zeng Er's wife was looking for her to be the eldest son of a big businessman in Yangzhou, and that family had business dealings with Zeng Er's master.

He also said that the family also had a distant relative who had been a high-ranking official like the governor, and he was a great maritime businessman.

Zeng Yingdan sighed again: "You're laughing, but I can't cry." My sister is married to Hu Zhuangyuan's younger brother. That person is not as diligent as Hu Zhuangyuan, but he is ambitious and talented, and my sister was scolded when she said a few more words. And because she only has a daughter under her knees, my brother-in-law is clamoring for a concubine. He also picked the expensive ones, one concubine cost 800 yuan, bought a total of two concubines, all spent my sister's dowry, and said ridiculously that our second room is a merchant, and I already knew that we would not get married. ”

Lirou comforted a few words, she thought that everyone really had a hard time and couldn't say it.

Last month, it was Liwan who passed Wending, and the second room of the Zeng family had money, so she was naturally not soft, and it was clear that Wending only needed to give a small gift, but they were full of gifts no less than the dowry, which made Liwan out of the limelight.

Everyone thought that although the Zheng family was a family, it had a large population, and it might not be as rich as the Zeng family's second room.

But I didn't expect that everything sent by the Zheng family was not ordinary, although it was not like the Zeng family to fill a few yards, but everything reflected the intentions of the Zheng family.

The first is of course the hired goose, which is a pair of live geese, which is recorded in Cui Yao's "Wedding Text": "The bird is a goose, with a deerskin." "I also sent a pair of white jade concentric locks, indicating that the eternal knot is concentric, and then there is a pair of black jade bracelets, faintly from the black jade can also see the dragon and phoenix patterns, which represents the male and female mountain alliance and sea oath, and there is a pair of jade links and rings are mostly on behalf of the things that are married.

Finally, there are two posts, according to the Zheng family, this is the ancestor Zheng Daozhao's book, Zheng Daozhao is the originator of the Wei tablet body, the work book is good and the book is good, the body is high and easy, and the big characters are good. Known as the "Northern Sage of Calligraphy", the South is as famous as Wang Xizhi, and has the reputation of "South King North Zheng".

Zeng Yingdan pursed her lips secretly and spoke for herself: "The Zheng family's little Dingli is far worse than ours!" ”

Lirou thought that if it was real money, it must have been sent by the Zeng family, but what the Zheng family sent was also priceless, but these so-called precious posts could neither be eaten nor drunk, so she still had a practical order.

Only Lishu likes it very much, and thinks that the things sent by the Zheng family are very tasteful, especially this pair of black jade bracelets, the dragon and phoenix lines inside are very detailed, with a little dark red, like ancient jade.

The Liu family invited a small drama team today, Zheng Hao did not come to the door, and today according to the number of etiquette, the man's clan came to the door. If she can't see her as usual, the two sides can't meet until after the levy.

Lishu thought it would be okay like this, she was still a child now, and it would be different if she met in a few years.

It was very lively outside, and Lishu couldn't help but rub the gift from the Zheng family, and she was very happy.

It was really a few happy and a few sad, Lijia heard the sound of babbling and beating gongs and drums outside, and couldn't help but listen attentively. Fu Shi lay on the bed and saw his daughter like this, as if he heard a sound.

"It's really lively, this time it's the girl's wedding ceremony. Big girl, you deserve to be so lively. Fu Shi said with a blank mouth.

Lijia shook her head and said she didn't care: "When Cousin Minglun is done, my daughter has everything, you always said, how good my grandfather's family is to me." ”

"Ahem, Lijia, I'm afraid that your marriage with your cousin will not be successful, you listen to your mother's words, don't think about it in the future, how about it?" Fu Shi thought of the face of his second sister-in-law, and finally understood in his heart that everything he lived was deception.

Lijia didn't understand: "Mother, is there some misunderstanding?" ”

Fu Shi shook his head: "There is no misunderstanding, you are a girl from the Liu family, and it was my mother who misunderstood you before." In the future, you should listen to your father, he is a good man. ”

"Mother, what are you talking about......"

"In short, I am all for your good, you will personally deliver the message for me later, let your second mother come over, I have something to explain to her."

"But Erniang ......"

Fu Shi waved his hand: "She is my own sister, you have to guard against her in the future, but you also have to believe her, do you hear?" ”

Lijia saw that her mother was a little vague and her heart was not good, so she went to tell her father first, and then went to tell Xiao Fu.

And Xiao Fu came late at night, and she was finally relieved after finishing her daughter's small ceremony, as if she expected Fu to come over.

"Sister." She called.

Fu Shi opened his eyes and got up from the bed: "You are here." I'm going to tell you that I'm going to find a place to clean up, and ask the lord to remove me, and in the future, the lady of this second room will be you. ”

Xiao Fu said lightly: "Sister, let's take care of your body, I just didn't hear these words." ”

Fu Shi waved his hand, and said impatiently: "I know that my request is a bit difficult, but I have already given up the position to you, I hope you can ensure that my Lijia finds an excellent family business, just like Lishu, plan for her, and you will give Lijia all my dowry to defend herself." That's why I'll give you this position. ”

It's really a fantasy, why should I help your daughter plan? Xiao Fu didn't agree, or even perfunctory.

Fu Shi said: "I know you really want to become a fate, this opportunity is at your fingertips, you-"

Xiao Fu stood up suddenly: "Sister, you also underestimate me." I have long known that you had lost your chastity when you fled from Shanyang County that year, and I have never threatened you in this matter, and even the people around you have plotted to kill me, I also know that it is not your intention, and I have never embarrassed you. As for the backyard competition, everyone is just relying on their own abilities, and I didn't fall in favor of you, and even when I came back from the field, you want to be a housekeeper and call yourself an eldest wife, and I didn't fight with you. ”

"You...... You already knew? Fu's face was instantly as white as gold paper, and his lips were closed.

Xiao Fu slowed down his tone: "Yes, I'm not stupid. What's more, it's not your fault, what's wrong with you, it's not your willingness to go all the way south and commit yourself to bandits for your children. People in troubled times are like dogs, and they have nothing to do with you. ”

Fu Shi snorted, blood stained the sheets, she didn't care at all, and said calmly: "I want to confess to the lord after I come back, but the lord told me that the past is over, I don't dare to say it, at that time I came back after a lot of hardships, but I didn't expect the lord to change his mind and like you." ”

"My sister doesn't know what my wife is like to me, she told me that the Xu family has no permanent property, has a powerful widow, and doesn't even have a backer. Later, because of your funeral, I was favored by Mrs. Liu, so I married the master. I thought that my wife and sister-in-law treated me badly because I was a concubine, and I thought that I was a dove occupying a magpie's nest and treating me badly, and I also suffered it, but my sister here, Lijia and Minglun's marriage has never been decided, so I know how hypocritical they are. Xiao Fu also felt pitiful when she looked at Fu, but she directly felt malice and didn't have any expectations for the Fu family, and Fu had been immersed in the Fu family's warm and spoiled atmosphere, and now that the bloody truth was revealed, she couldn't stand it.

Fu Shi smiled: "If it weren't for you, my Lijia would probably not be able to marry in this life." Sister, I used to blame you. ”

Somehow, when all the things were said, Fu's heart was also relaxed: "I want the Fu family to choose a place with excellent scenery for me, where I can cultivate and fish in my spare time." Why are you fooling me all day long, now I have to let them do something for me. ”

"Sister, actually, ......"

Fu Shi looked at Xiao Fu Shi: "Qiu Jun, I have made up my mind, and I will hand it over to you in the future." Although you have some means, you are a good person, and you are stronger. I'm sure you won't treat Lijia harshly, I used to be a villain in the belly of a gentleman. ”

"In this case, please leave it to my sister."

Xiao Fu breathed a sigh of relief, and when he was about to go out, there was a black shadow outside that had already left in a hurry, and the back was clearly like Liu Chengxu.

A month later, Fu escaped into the empty door, and Xiao Fu became a veritable second wife, and after Liu Chengxu was promoted to Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he asked for the title of fourth-class Shuo for Xiao Fu. ：，，
