Mrs. Song rushed in, only hugged her grandson, and congratulated her, she came out with the baby in her arms, and said to Lishu and Liwan: "Two aunts, look, oops, it can be regarded as a future, and my heart is also steady." ”

Lishu thought to herself about this Mrs. Song, she only had her grandson in her heart, and she didn't think about the mother at all?

Liwan knew that Lishu was a little left-handed, and hurriedly said, "Yes, it's really good." It's really a blessing for your family, in the end, it's the eldest son and eldest grandson, it's finally different. ”

"Let's go in first and see how the big sister is? Mrs. In-law, do you have a doctor at home? Lishu lifted the hem of her skirt slightly and went up the steps.

Mrs. Song is not afraid of her daughter-in-law, but she is a little scared of her third sister, this champion lady, who has a good face, but she doesn't like to laugh very much, and she is not as kind as the fourth lady of the Liu family. But she is very changeable, and ordinary people have to be very careful when they speak in front of her.

"We all asked a doctor who knows each other well." Mrs. Song said with a smile.

Lijia's situation is obviously not very good, originally giving birth to a child is a ghost gate, Lishu also gave birth to a child with difficulty in her previous life, so she is proud of her riding a lot of activities, and her body is only good to give birth to, not to mention that when Lijia gave birth to her daughter L before, she was too young and didn't know how to hurt her body.

"You guys take care of the big sister, we'll come back in a few days." Lishu saw that Lijia was only unconscious, but her life was fine.

But Liwan still wanted to stay here for a while, and Lishu didn't force it: "Second sister, then I'll trouble you here." ”

She was about to go out, and she heard that Zheng Hao came to pick her up, and it happened that Lishu went out in a hurry. Originally, Zheng Hao just came to pick up Lishu, but Song Shilang was at home, and he wanted to talk to Zheng Hao again, but now Lishu saw the other side of Zheng Hao, he was really good at socializing.

It may not be nice to say, but it is polite and courteous, and it is very decent.

After he finished speaking, Lishu went home with him, and as soon as she got into the carriage, she shouted tiredly: "We stood outside that courtyard for a long time, and that Mrs. Song only cared about her grandson and didn't care about others at all." Fortunately, my eldest sister was fine, but she passed out in a coma. But it's hard to regenerate. ”

"It's dangerous." Zheng Hao held her hand and remembered the past, if it wasn't for the mother's younger brother, the second brother would have been born weak.

When I went home, I heard that Zheng Qing and Tan had a quarrel, Zheng Qing has never had much sense of existence in Lishu's heart, and it is basically a sick and weak relationship, and the people around him are very careful about him. Everyone thinks that patients generally have a good temper, but Lishu has heard a saying that the cripple is insidious, dumb and vicious, and the blind is suspicious. The more sick a person is, the more sensitive and suspicious his mind becomes.

Therefore, Li Shu told the Tan family about the loss of business with the Wang family, and said: "The same is true of the second sister-in-law Che next door, she is still a little better, and she only paid five hundred taels." ”

Zheng Hao shook his head: "Five hundred taels is not too little for them." Isn't this their own greed, businessmen are all doing businessless business, have they played with others? Even if you can read the account books, if the fake accounts made by others are not yamen, who will check clearly. ”

"But I said that this Wang family is also short-sighted, and the rabbit still doesn't eat the grass next to the nest, so I don't know how many incidents will be caused in the future." Lishu already has a language.

Zheng Hao spread his hands: "That's beyond our reach, although I may inherit the affairs of the patriarch in the future, but that's also there."

In the clan, he went out to be an official and had to obey the decrees of the court. Besides, my fourth brother Naze, he has a gluttonous grandmother, two daughters who are waiting to be married, and a son who spends money like running water, and his wife is unwilling to take money out of his own dowry, so he has to think elsewhere. ”

Lishu was speechless: "This is the first time I know what it means to be rich and unkind." ”

They and their husband and wife chose not to know about the quarrel between Zheng Qing and Tan, so that they looked good, Lishu took out her account book at night and calculated, she didn't have much land to marry, only three hundred acres plus an ordinary small village, and two small shops, but Lishu didn't think so, because these were carefully arranged by her mother and her anyway.

Among the 300 acres, there are 200 acres of paddy fields, 50 acres of woodland, 50 acres of wheat sorghum, and so on.

She calculated the approximate amount, and when she saw that the village sent it was almost the same, she didn't care, but the rice and preserved fruits were not eaten at home, and Lishu kept some of her own rations, and the rest was sold.

Like the chickens, ducks, fish, meat, roe deer and robes fed by Zhuangzi were partially handed over to the public middle school, after all, the accompanying room she brought over, these people have to eat better during the New Year's Festival, and the Zheng family who eats their own family will not say anything.

And she now has five taels of silver a month, and she has enough hairpin rings on weekdays, making a total of two pieces a year to wear and one to wear, and making some new clothes to buy clothes, no more than two hundred taels.

Lishu quietly calculated, if this continues, she will make a profit of more than 700 taels every year, which is also very good.

One of her shops is a rice shop, the store is not big, the location is average, and the other shop is slightly better, in Tongpingfang, it is a tavern.

As we all know, pawnshops and money banks are the richest businesses, and I heard that the most profitable money in the dowry of the eldest aunt is a money bank, which is now married to Lizhen.

Lishu knows that she has just taken over now, and she can't change it at will or take out the capital to open a new shop, but it's still okay to make the business of the two shops a little better.

She doesn't have such a big capital as Lizhen, and she is not greedy, she is only willing to go step by step.

Born in a noble family, there are many books in the natural home, such as the wine shop in her hand, which is just a simple wine, I heard that Xiao Fu's is also a store that has just been plated.

"Call Shui Zhi over, I have something to tell her." Lishu said.

After a while, Shui Zhi came over, and when she heard Lishu mention the matter of the wine shop, she smiled again: "My man is talking about this, but he wants to go with grandma." Only the wine is just selling some ordinary wine, the business is mediocre, I think that the next door is opened, and I can just make some snacks and sell it together. ”

"I think well, I know the recipe for braised vegetables, you can braise some vegetarian dishes on weekdays, and make some kidneys, pig's head meat. As for wine, let's make a kind of wine that is cheap and affordable for everyone to drink. That kind of ordinary turbid wine is too bad, but it can't be withdrawn for a while, I think it's better to use pine needle wine as the mainstay, and people in Beijing love to drink these. Then there are seasonal festivals, such as Chongyang to sell chrysanthemum wine, and there are many fruits on Zhuangzi on weekdays, so you should also make some fruit wine. Lishu said something casually.

But then I met Tong Shun'er again, and listened to him talk about the plan to expand the store, and it seemed that he was talking eloquently.

Lishu nodded: "I'll give you half of the silver first, buy it next door, and then let the master in the store send me the wine to taste, if I can, I'll invest again, if not, I'll cut you as a steward." When the time comes, you

's face is gone, and Shui Zhi's prestige by my side for so many years is gone. ”

It's easy to talk with acquaintances, but there is no such reason for Lishu, Tong Shun gave her the opportunity to manage the shop, if there is no diamond, don't do porcelain work.

Tong Shun was stunned, quickly knelt down, and showed Lishu the list he wrote.

Lishu glanced at ten lines, and only pointed out a few times, seeing that Tong Shun'er was not wrong at all, so she was a little relieved: "Okay, you go down first, I'll wait for someone to give you two pieces of silver." If you do it, if I buy a new shop in the future, you will take care of another one for me. ”

Beat a stick to give a sweet date, especially recently when the winter solstice is about to come, wine is the best to sell.

……

She doesn't have much business talent, it should be said that she hasn't had much contact, after all, there is only one shop for Xiao Fu to marry, and she takes care of the family business more on weekdays, and Lishu can learn a lot, this is the first big decision she has made since she got married.

After making the decision, she was also very concerned.

Zhu Lan said to Li Shu in private: "Girl, the slave maid looks at the Wu family and seems to be lively, and the dowry of 170,000 taels is very small, which shows that he has a lot of money. But the Zheng family is a generational eunuch, but the wife never shows the dew, so why bother? ”

Lishu looked at Zhulan and couldn't help but praise: "You are very insightful. Indeed, Mrs. Zheng didn't blink when she heard that Mrs. Wu gave her daughter 170,000 taels of eyelids, and the Zheng family only had two brothers, Zheng Hao and Zheng Qing, and her only daughter L had already married. Zheng Hao's grandfather was the prime minister at the time, and he died at the age of seventy-eight, and his great-grandfather was also a assassin, and Zheng's father was even more in the military department, and their family's money would only be more.

"I didn't learn from a girl what I learned." Zhulan smiled.

Lishu knew that Zhulan was her confidant, and also said the reason: "But all the really rich and noble families are afraid that others will worry about their family's money, so what if I am the eldest grandmother." If you show that you treat their money like dung, that's fine. Besides, I'm still young, even if I have some ability, I may not know everything, and I'm easy to be fooled as soon as I come up, so it's better to start small. I can't even manage a small shop, how to manage a big shop, I always feel that everything has to start from small things. ”

When Zhulan heard this reason, she admired it very much in her heart: "The eldest grandmother is really admired by the slave maid." ”

In the face of huge fame and fortune, he can still be unmoved, which is really not an ordinary person.

In a blink of an eye, it was Lijiaer's sister's washing, Zheng Hao sent Lishu over, and he still had to go to the yamen, so he could only come over in the afternoon. Unfortunately, I met Lizhen on the road, and Lizhen came in a carriage with a canopy, and the posture was very large, which attracted a lot at once.

Zheng Hao glanced over there and said to Lishu with a smile: "You go in first, I'll go to the Shangya." ”

"Okay." Lishu nodded.

Lizhen saw Lishu, and sure enough, it was a familiar tone: "Third sister, have you heard?" The fourth sister is already pregnant. ”

Lishu knew that she couldn't spit out ivory from her dog's mouth, but she wasn't angry, she just smiled and said: "I heard about it yesterday, I heard my grandmother say that when Aunt Ding entered the door, it was the Ding family that said that Aunt Ding was born with a good male appearance, and Lirou's figure was very similar to Aunt Ding, which is not unusual." ”

"It's just that the third sister, you entered the door earlier than the fourth sister?" Lizhen asked deliberately puzzled.

As soon as she saw Lishu like this, she knew that she had no goods in her stomach, and there was no two taels of meat, and there was only the Zheng family

let her toss, and held two flower banquets to become famous.

But if she can't give birth all the time, it's over, Zheng Hao is in her twenties.

Just as Liwan came over, Lishu greeted her: "Second sister, the fifth sister said that the fourth sister was pregnant, and you entered the door early......"

Lizhen got a lot of benefits from Liwan, she saw Lishu so upside down black and white, pointed at her and said, "You are really shameless, I am talking about you." ”

Liwan choked in her heart, unwilling to get involved between them, knowing that Lishu was deliberately so provocative, she said, "Okay, let's say a few words." ”

"Okay, anyway, the person who stirs up trouble every time doesn't know who it is?" Lishu was not angry, and Shi Shiran left.

Lizhen came in angrily, Liwan suddenly glanced at Lishu, but remembered that Lishu would never pull her into the battle, and she spoke very measuredly, why is it like this today.

Zhu Lan also asked Lishu this question on the way: "Why are you like this to the second girl today, you were very thoughtful before." ”

"Because it was the same many years ago, I used to take my eye medicine in front of my grandmother, and I just want to pay tribute to these two people." Lishu smiled slightly.

I still remember that Liwan once said to the old lady that she was diligent in her studies and was not filial in front of the old lady.

Lizhen thought that she was the wife of the prince of the Hou Mansion, her status was higher than that of the sisters, and she should be high above the stars, and the stars held the moon, but in fact, Lishu still didn't pay much attention to her.

But it doesn't matter, it's good to have the Zheng family holding her.

Of course, the Zheng family is very polite to both her and Lishu, which stems from the fact that Liu Chengxu himself is now the governor of the river, and if he returns to Beijing in the future, I am afraid that he is very likely to be a high-ranking official at the ministry level.

At this time, compared to the rise of the Liu family, the Song family seems to be yesterday's yellow flower.

And Zheng Hao is now in the Hanlin Academy, he is still so young, and his career has been at least forty years, no one can say what will happen in the future, and after Lishu married into the Zheng family, she personally held two flower banquets, and the people of the Song family have gone to play, in fact, they are more familiar than Lizhen.

Others are praising Lizhen, but they may not have turned their faces with Lishu.

So Lishu also has her own general speakers, such as Zeng Yunxi's wife Jintan County Lord, this county lord is also the daughter of Princess Longchang, since her sister was elected as the crown princess, she also married into the Zeng family.

Lishu thought that Princess Longchang was really ruthless, and she made Prince Yun's Shao'an county lord to make peace with her with her front foot, and made her fiancé her own uncle with her back foot.

The county lord of Jintan and her sister the county lord of Jinxian are completely different people, she was born handsome, and her temperament is soft, and she is a woman who takes her husband as the sky. Zeng Yunxi's current Mr. who is learning the Book of Changes was introduced by Zheng Hao, and Mrs. Zeng San came to Zheng's house several times to thank him.

In fact, Lishu also sighed that if a man's marriage is not in harmony, he can marry a noble wife again, but no matter how good a woman is, it will be difficult to remarry a good person once she withdraws. Zeng Yunxi can marry a good daughter-in-law no matter what.

After eating, they went to watch the washing, and on the day of washing, they were generally close relatives, and the civilian homes mostly gave the mothers some oil cakes, osmanthus jar stoves, broken edge jars, eggs, brown sugar and other food, or gave some children's clothes, shoes, socks and other gifts as gifts.

The rich and noble people also send these, but they send them much more advanced.

The Song family set up an incense case outside, and enshrined Bixia Yuanjun, Qiongxiao Niangniang, Yunxiao Niangniang, Giving Birth to Niangniang, Sending Children Niangniang, and Bean Rash

Thirteen statues of gods, such as Niangniang and Niangniang. Lijia's younger sibling, Song Mingcheng's wife, placed a copper basin containing a soup made of acacia sticks and mugwort leaves, as well as all ceremonial supplies, on the kang. At this time, the midwife's grandmother hugged the baby L and "washed three"

It's officially begun. The Song family took the lead in adding a small spoonful of water to the basin according to the respect and humility, and then put some coins, which is called "adding a basin"

。

If you are giving gold or silver, put it in a basin, and if you are giving banknotes, put it in a tray next to it.

Lishu sent "auspicious more than 10 ingots" of gold ingots, Liwan is a purple gold "pen ingot Ruyi" two ingots, although Lirou did not come but entrusted someone to send a lot of small clothes over, originally Lishu thought that Lizhen would send a large amount of gold and silver ingots, but she did not expect that she only sent the "champion and the first" gold ingots six ingots.

Lizhen didn't expect Lishu to make a move with ten gold bills, although she didn't show it, she still asked Liwan privately: "Master Zheng has resigned, Zheng Hao is a poor Hanlin, and Lishu's dowry is only like that, why did she give so much?" ”

Two ingots of gold are more than a dozen taels, and ten ingots are hundreds of taels.

And the Hou Mansion generally gives a gift of only a pair of gold bills, that is, two ingots.

Or Lizhen wants to overpower everyone and send some.

After washing three times, everyone went to see Lijia, and Lishu also glanced at Lijia, and saw that she had a thick forehead tied on her head, and there was no blood on her face, but she looked at the child next to her and was relieved.

"Big sister, congratulations, now that you are both a son and a daughter, you really made up the word 'good'." Lishu stepped forward.

Lijia pursed her lips and thanked her: "Third sister, thank you." ”

Lizhen rushed to hold the child, as if the child was very close to her, Lishu only thought it was funny, it is said that before Lizhen got married, the eldest aunt specially asked a doctor to regulate her, what to turn white. Lizhen is indeed a little more luxurious and graceful now than before, holding the child and glancing at Lishu again.

I really didn't expect that after getting married, Lizhen would still love her so much.

Lizhen is indeed comparable, she always thought that she might not be favored when she married in the past, but she didn't expect her to be very lucky, Cen Shifang is actually not as prodigal as rumored outside, those are just prodigal when he was a teenager, and now he is heroic and extraordinary, and he respects her as a housewife. Mei Lan Zhuju and the beauties, he didn't go to their room.

The only thing is that her mother-in-law is difficult, but it is probably her family dowry, and she is polite on her face.

Even when she goes out now, she is held by people wherever she goes, and even her grandmother thinks highly of her.

Lishu knows that she is now newly married Yan'er, and her identity has suddenly become higher, don't say it's her, even ordinary people are easy to float. Ke Lishu has long known that Cen Shifang is an unscrupulous person, just because he used such means in order to marry Lirou back then, Mrs. Cen was ruthless to Cen Shiyan, and it was not easy for the mother and son to survive.

So she won't say these things, but she won't say anything more to Lizhen.

In the evening, Zheng Hao came to pick her up, and as soon as Lishu saw him, he came back to life, Zheng Hao smiled and said, "I will tell you a happy event today." ”

"What's the matter?" Lishu asked.

Zheng Hao said: "You said that you were going out on your birthday, I don't think it's good to be incense, the temple is on the mountain, and there is a lot of snow, so I found someone to set a place." In front of the bamboo house, we could listen to the sound of snow, and we were able to build snowmen, enjoy the snow, and eat barbecue. ”

"Don't invite anyone." Lishu emphasized.

Zheng Hao nodded: "Don't worry." ”

Lishu stepped forward and hugged his arm, eager to hang on him along the way.

After so many years of birthdays, she doesn't like to sit with a lot of people with average relationships, and she has to be hypocritical, and her birthday banquet will be mixed with water, because the next Lijia's birthday party will be grander than her.

Sure enough, on the day of her birthday, she was blindfolded to a place, originally she thought it was a bamboo door to see the snow, but she didn't expect that the place where she was actually seemed to be a bamboo door, but there was a glass wind lamp hanging at the door, which was probably a little whale oil, and the wind and snow did not go out when the wind and snow blew.

Above the bamboo door are transparent crystal tiles that can almost see the snow falling, the wind chimes at the door make a crisp sound, but the inner room is extremely warm, and even a single coat is enough.

The bamboo door is very exquisitely cleaned, all of which Lishu likes very much, fluffy and soft, and all kinds of orchids and peonies are surrounded by them, as if they are in the weight of a sea of flowers.

There are delicacies on the front tables.

Zheng Hao whispered in Lishu's ear: "Wait a while, at night, you will have a better view of the snow under the melting lights." ”

"Aren't we going back tonight?" Lishu asked.

Zheng Hao nodded: "Of course, don't you want to spend a good night with me?" ”

Lishu shook her head: "I'm so willing, I really didn't expect that I would have such a birthday." "I remember that on this day in her previous life, she got married to the Yu family that day, and the long journey was tight, and she was drugged on the night of her wedding, and then she was put into hell.

In this life, she spent her birthday with her beloved, Lishu was pulled out by Zheng Hao, and Zheng Hao signaled: "Come, draw eyes on the snowman." ”

"Okay." Lishu picked up the pen and drew the eyes of the snowman.

As if the finishing touch, the snowman instantly became cute.

They sat on the couch enjoying the delicious food and watching the snow, and Lishu felt very relaxed, and for the first time she thought, wow, life is so beautiful.

After pouring a glass of wine, Lishu raised her glass to Zheng Hao: "Thank you for your attention to my birthday." ”

Zheng Hao also raised his glass and touched her cup lightly: "I don't think as much about me as you usually do, and you are filial to my father and mother to assist my mother in taking care of the family business, and you are more concerned about me than I am on eating, drinking, and eating on weekdays, these are all as it should be." ”

The two drank it all, looked at each other and smiled.

After drinking a few more glasses, Lishu was slightly drunk, she looked at Zheng Hao and said: "Some time ago, Lizhen ridiculed me and said that I entered the door earlier than others, but I don't have children yet, in fact, I know that you are the eldest son and eldest grandson, and I should have been pregnant earlier." But I just thought, what if you don't? ”

Zheng Hao rarely listened to Lishu tell him this kind of heartfelt matter, and their husband and wife usually exchanged calligraphy and painting, or how to deal with housework.

Therefore, Zheng Hao was actually very distressed when he heard her say this: "If you don't have it, it won't be what if, there are many people rushing to be my son, and when the time comes, let's let those smart and well-behaved people stand in front of you in the clan and let you choose." ”

Lishu wrinkled her nose: "Tell a lie, you will definitely have to take a concubine when the time comes." ”

"Nonsense, which man himself is unwilling, will be pressed to the bed. If you are like my mother and almost lost your life when you get pregnant, and the child you give birth to is not healthy, I would rather you accompany me well than the mother and child are damaged. Zheng Hao smiled.

Lishu raised her glass again and said three times in a row: "Okay, good." Actually, listening to you say this, I am very satisfied. She took a drink and seemed lethargic again.

I don't know if it's a dream, but I heard someone whispering in her ear.

How do you know that what I say is not what I think!!
