After her birthday, Lishu accidentally found that she seemed to have grown a little taller, since she was thirteen years old, she has grown very slowly, Lishu turned around in front of the dressing mirror, very satisfied.

When I went out to ask my mother-in-law to say goodbye, I saw the Tan family, who had a hard time recently, and the thousands of taels of silver were gone. Zheng Qing also seemed to have quarreled with her, and Tan's whole person lost weight.

Lishu pursed her lips and entered the door with her.

Mrs. Zheng selfishly hopes that Lishu can explain more of the Tan family, after all, she is a clan wife and an eldest sister-in-law, and she can't just have her own small family, but it seems that Lishu can't understand her hints.

And Li Shu thinks that if it weren't for Tan's own greed, she wouldn't have caused trouble, she didn't know, but saved Tan's dignity, if she said too much, she wouldn't have the money to pay Tan to her, wouldn't she provoke an enemy for no reason. Mrs. Zheng has her way of behaving in the world, and so does Lishu, she will not openly disobey her mother-in-law's orders, but she will not really do what she wants.

Because she knew that she was standing on her heels, and she didn't rely on the Tan family.

This year, because the official position of the father-in-law is gone, the Zheng family only interacts with relatives and close relatives of the family, or some are Zheng Hao's colleagues, which is estimated to be not very many.

Mrs. Zheng smiled and said, "We won't invite drama wine this year, what do you think?" ”

Of course, Lishu thinks it's very good, her father-in-law has resigned, and he is still feasting guests at home, isn't it telling everyone that the Zheng family is still singing and dancing. Therefore, she smiled: "Anyway, daughters-in-law listen to their mothers, so let's be more comfortable." ”

"yes." Tan agreed.

Mrs. Zheng nodded.

Although she doesn't have any more drama and wine, the New Year is still going to pass, and Mrs. Zheng is already a little cold, and now in winter, she is getting more and more stiff, but she still holds on to telling her mother-in-law.

Lishu glanced at the Tan family and knew that Mrs. Zheng was a motherly heart, otherwise, she would not be so old and still have to support the housekeeper. Because living under the hands of my sister-in-law is different from living in the hands of my own mother.

Zheng Qing's illness was raised with rare medicinal materials, and the share of Tan and Zheng Qing was also doubled, and even when Tan suffered this time, Mrs. Zheng may have made up for it in private. But if Lishu is in charge, the rules may remain unchanged for a while, but after a long time, they will have their own children, as an elder brother and sister-in-law, they may not be willing to spend money on their younger brother like this.

In all fairness, the idea was correct, so Lishu didn't bring up the matter of housekeeping at all.

If Mrs. Zheng's body is uncomfortable, she will help for a few days, but it is not good to blame for her, and she will not even be inserted.

At this point, Mrs. Zheng and Qi's mother praised Lishu: "She is really a girl taught by a big family, she has always been innocent, and she is very upright like her father." ”

So even if Lishu didn't go to explain the Tan family, Mrs. Zheng could be relieved.

Compared to Lishu, she can't be in charge of the house, Lizhen is already in charge of the house when she enters the door, and Mrs. Cen directly handed the pair of cards to Lizhen's hand: "I heard that you are also following the housekeeper in your mother's house, and your mother is also a famous capable person in Beijing." ”

Lizhen saw the pair of cards, and her mother-in-law and father-in-law are now on the same page, and they can know that the two quarreled several times. Cen Shiyan's wild seed with his mud-legged wife, a little bad to blame on the mother-in-law, now give the pair of cards to herself, just she can sit in this position, who will not look at her eyes in the future.

Besides, when it comes to housekeeping, she is not afraid at all.

She licked her lips, she had already promised it in her heart, but she didn't dare to take it.

What kind of person Mrs. Cen is, she didn't know what she was thinking, so she smiled and said: "Brother Fang, daughter-in-law, as soon as you enter the door, I will see you all the neat, I am old, if you are afraid, just reply to me if you have something." ”

Lizhen originally wanted to show her ability when she entered the door, but among the sisters, the eldest sister Lijia lost money, although Song Shilang is a Kuraba waiter, but in the past few years, the eldest sister has to fill in the dowry. The second sister is a businesswoman in the end, she can rub it by relying on the Zeng and Liu families on weekdays, but the old lady of the Zeng family is not good, the second room will be divided sooner or later, and she can't touch the housekeeper at all now, at most, she can help in the second room, or go to the Zeng family's room to help.

Not to mention the three girls, although her mother-in-law is good, the housekeeper is always in her hands, and the three girls have been married for almost a year and have no goods in their stomachs, and they can't be home.

Lirou was lucky, she became pregnant within a few months of entering the door, but Mrs. Wu's reputation for courage is well-known, and when she heard that Lirou was pregnant for less than a month, her mother-in-law sent two girls to serve.

I also heard that Lirou was in the Wu family and was ridiculed as an illiterate person with open eyes.

Where can she compare to the Mrs. Hou Shizi, now in charge of the house, the right card in her hand, she held it tightly.

Mrs. Cen said again: "We should have some rules in this house. ”

Lizhen went out with great ambition, and when she went out, Mrs. Cen said: "The master gave his body to his private child, and said that he values love and righteousness, I'm sorry." The share in their yard is double that of putting my brother and them, and I am a fool to just look at me. Now that the eldest grandmother is in charge of the house, I can see that she is a person who does not have sand under her eyes, and it will be good to make trouble when the time comes. ”

Her confidant Hu's mother said: "But isn't it bad for such a grandmother to offend the master?" ”

"Look at her appearance, she has so much dowry when she enters the door, and she has an extraordinary family background. There are also the second and third families, who like to arch the fire in the middle, if she doesn't let her hit the wall, she doesn't know how thick the sky is, where is the housekeeper I lack now, what I lack is a serious grandson. "Mrs. Cen has never thought of delegating power, and now is not the time to delegate power, what she is most afraid of is that Cen Shiyan's wife and her daughter-in-law will unite, because Cen Shiyan's daughter-in-law Lin Taoer, although she is a poor daughter, she doesn't know what magic power is, and everyone in the house likes her very much.

When Lizhen went out with a pair of cards, she happened to see Lin Taoer with two girls, and her two girls were holding a pot of flowers and didn't know where to go.

The two walked towards each other, and Lizhen said, "Where are you going, brother and sister?" ”

Lin Tao'er had two pear vortices on her face, and people were always smiling, with a hint of wit in her eyes, so she smiled and said, "I planted two pots of mountain peonies, just to give them to Mrs. Gu." Sister-in-law, do you know that eating stewed meat with two to three taels of mountain peony root bark can cure anemia and dizziness. ”

Lizhen only felt that if she said a few more words to her, she seemed to be able to feel a poor air, I don't know how to say it, how could she be a concubine with such a person, she is a wild girl and likes to pretend to be cute.

What else did the mother say Lishu and her younger sister Tan got along well, no matter what, Tan is also the daughter of the official family, what is this Lin Taoer.

Lizhen pursed her lips, glanced at her, shook her head and left.

Lin Tao'er may not have a good background, but she is clever, and she raised her eyebrows: "This sister-in-law doesn't seem to know the goods." ”

The frightened faces of the two girls next to her turned white, "Second grandma, just say a few words, Mrs. Shizi's maiden family is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and her uncle is the governor of the river, but he is not an ordinary family." ”

Lin Tao'er didn't care: "Okay, you've all said it hundreds of times, I know." ”

She went to deliver mountain peonies to Mrs. Gu, and went back to knock walnuts, which she carefully put in a bowl for Cen Shiyan to eat. When he was young, Cen Shiyan studied too hard, so he had a serious white head, and she knocked walnuts for him, and now Cen Shiyan looks very good.

After a while, Cen Shiyan came back from outside, and the two of them were childhood sweethearts, Lin Taoer hurriedly handed him the walnuts.

Cen Shiyan had to give her half of it before he was willing to eat it himself, and he smiled: "What are you doing today?" ”

"I didn't do anything, I just got up in the morning to watch the little finches fight, and gave my aunt two pots of mountain peonies, and I ate an extra drawer of tofu skin buns at noon, but it was delicious, and I left two for you." Lin Taoer said with a smile.

Cen Shiyan was the same as when he was a child, he poured the walnuts into his mouth and ate them with a "croak".

Lin Tao'er said, "What, why have you been going out lately?" ”

"Tao'er, my wife asked my master to transfer my hometown to Shuncheonfu, and because of this, I may have to start the exam from the county exam again." Cen Shiyan said.

Lin Taoer shook her head: "You are already a showman, can you take the test again?" ”

Cen Shiyan smiled: "How do you know if you don't try, I'm not afraid of these." She killed my mother before, and now she is wholeheartedly blocking me, but I don't know that only when people have real evidence will they go further and further. I can accept her kicking us out, but I won't forget the murder of my mother. ”

After saying this, he looked at Lin Tao'er and said, "Do you know? Recently, I got to know an old friend. ”

Lin Tao'er smiled: "Who is it?" Is there anything I don't recognize? ”

"You really don't necessarily recognize it, it's Zheng Zhuangyuan, when I went to Beijing before, because I didn't recognize my relatives for a while, so I wandered around the Temple of Gratitude and met a knowledgeable young man. Only I don't know who he is, I only know that he is erudite and talented, and later because my eldest brother got married, I knew that this was Zheng Zhuangyuan and was actually the brother-in-law of the eldest brother. Originally, I thought they were brothers-in-law, and my identity was embarrassing to him, but I didn't expect that a few days ago I went to the Thanksgiving Temple, and I happened to meet Zheng Zhuangyuan playing chess with the abbot, and we chatted very happily. He is now a reviser at the Hanlin Academy, and knowing that I am now studying Spring and Autumn with Mr. Wang, he introduced me to a master of Spring and Autumn and sent me a few books. Cen Shiyan said.

Lin Tao'er said: "That person is really good." ”

"I heard that it is more than that, I heard that my sister-in-law is arrogant and domineering, and her sisters are not in harmony at home, and she mocked Zheng Zhuangyuan's wife on the spot in front of the Song family." Cen Shiyan also felt very outrageous.

Now she is only the wife of the prince, and her sister is still married to the Zheng family in Xingyang as a clan wife, she is so unscrupulous to ridicule and scold whenever she wants. As everyone knows, when she becomes Mrs. Hou in the future, she will be so arrogant.

Lin Taoer said: "So, Zheng Zhuangyuan hopes that you will be able to suppress the big house in the future?" ”

Cen Shiyan waved his hand: "Maybe people have this meaning, Zheng Zhuangyuan looks beautiful, and besides, people are love talents, this is also a conspiracy, and he didn't use any selfish means." ”

Lin Tao'er put her hands on her cheeks and sighed: "The Hou Mansion is too complicated. ”

Cen Shiyan smiled: "I said (),

9[()]9『Come[]_See the latest chapter_Full chapter』(),

Not only that, but I also promised my mother to find the truth for the people of the world. ”

When he entered the Hou Mansion, he came to find evidence.

Lizhen didn't know this, she started the way of being a housekeeper in her mother's house, first summoning people to come over, beating the disobedient Liwei, and then giving orders.

Compared with her in full swing, Lishu is much more leisurely, now she shouldn't be a housekeeper, please finish every day, Mrs. Zheng is not an embarrassing mother-in-law, let her and Tan's go back, Lishu may be Zheng Hao's promise on her birthday, which made her breathe a sigh of relief, so she began to fall asleep.

Under the New Year's Day, Zheng Hao and Lishu went back to their parents' house together, Zheng Hao saw that Lishu had been sleeping a lot recently, and he couldn't bear to wake her up, so he let her sleep a little more at night.

The two came over in a carriage together, Lishu lifted the carriage and saw the carriage of the Song family, and immediately thought that the eldest sister had finally given birth to a son now, and her father's official position was high, and the carriage she rode in was different from before.

Back at her parents' house, Lishu first went with Zheng Hao to greet her grandmother, and happened to meet Wu Xuanhe and Lirou, Lirou was married in June, and she was pregnant three months after entering the door, and she looked very good.

"Third sister...... Lirou said with a smile.

Lishu hurriedly said, "Fourth sister, be careful of the threshold. ”

"It's not in the way, my three-month-old fetus has already sat firmly, I couldn't do it before, and now the doctor wants me to move more." Lirou caressed her stomach with a gentle and loving look.

The two rooms given to her by her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wu, are not as beautiful as her, and these two people have poured child avoidance medicine every time they have sex, which is no wonder to her. It's just a room, there is only one man, and now that the son-in-law has not been born, how can he let the concubine be born?

If she is honest, of course she will keep the façade to avoid her mother-in-law from stuffing people again, if she is not honest, there are other ways to deal with it.

The Wu family is very generous, and Wu Xuanhe studies in Guozijian on weekdays, and he is also a member of the Yanei. Lirou knows that her husband has some yamen temper, but there is always one thing, she knows right and wrong very well, and she is not a person who has no pursuits.

Now wait for the Wu family to have shade to make up for it, so that it can come out.

Lizhen was the last to come, and as soon as she came over, Liwan quipped: "It's worthy of being a housekeeper's lady, it's so late, but let's wait." ”

Lizhen took off her cloak and handed it to others, a little proud, and said to herself: "It's just that others said that I was busy at home, and I was soft-hearted, so I had to agree, and I would have to return it in the future." ”

Everyone knows that she is proud, and she will not say anything unpleasant on the rise, after all, no one else is her.

Lishu went to talk to Zeng Yingxiu, Zeng Yingxiu had been married for less than a month, because she broke the marriage contract and remarried, so the two sides were very low-key.

Although married, the Liu family and the Zeng family are old relatives, Zeng Yingxiu is open-minded, without any depression, but said something to Lishu: "Actually, the eldest cousin is a person you know, although he is not as smart as the one who was married before, but when I marry into your family, I can rest assured, in the end, your mother is very good, and your grandmother is not a troubled person." ”

Lishu nodded: "Yes, my mother has always liked you very much, and she specially wrote to me to accompany you more freely." You have always been more open-minded than ordinary women, live a good life, if you have something to ask me for help, you also recognize the people around me. ”

"I just

() I know hello, your second sister also treats me well, and I don't have any complaints. ”

Zeng Yingxiu thought, as for her husband, there is nothing she can do, but she is the eldest son of the governor, so she can't insult her, as for her husband, she just cultivates her son.

Seeing that she could think about it, Lishu couldn't help but smile with her.

I heard Zeng Yingxiu say again: "The lord of Shao'an is about to marry Dawan when he is named Princess Anning, and there are six girls to marry, including people I know, these sisters also had quarrels before, and now they are all going to kiss, now I think about it, it was not much of a big deal, but it was just a child who was ignorant." ”

Lishu also sighed: "I know that the Song family has a Qi Niang, who is not favored at home on weekdays, but he chose her to go." I heard that it was the county lord of Shao'an who said that he had a good relationship with her, so she had to do it. ”

Although she is not a relative in this life, she is very distressed.

Zeng Yingxiu has always been well-informed, so she said: "What is a good relationship, I heard that I just want to choose beautiful, only beautiful and beautiful people want." Those barbarians drink blood, how the county lord serves, of course, I hope that someone will share it. It's just that I didn't expect it to be Qi Niang, how kind she is. ”

Speaking of which, they were all teary-eyed, but Lijia walked in a little unimpressed.

"What are you still talking about here, and you haven't gone to the theater yet. There is nothing wrong with that Song Qiniang, she is an official fan, and now because she is married, she has won the official position of the palace ceremony, so what's so bad. ”

Li Shu muttered, "But isn't Song Qi Niangzi very pitiful? ”

Lijia came over and poked Lishu's head: "On weekdays, you are an understanding person, but now that you are left-handed, what good person can she marry her." She has no furniture, my third uncle is the most good at gambling and drinking on weekdays, but Prince Yun's mansion is also generous, leaving three thousand taels for her father, I heard that it was given by Prince Yun's second concubine, which is also good, as a child, you have to think about your parents. Her mother's life in the Song family is not easy. ”

Even so, Lishu still didn't think it was worth it.

"Full Bed" is being sung on the stage, which is about Guo Ziyi's 60th birthday, and the seven sons and eight sons-in-law all came to pay their respects, which is very in line with the current scene of the Liu family's sons-in-law standing in the hall.

Halfway through the play, after Lishu came out of the courtesy, she met Liwan, and Liwan said: "The third sister doesn't know yet, now the eldest sister's family is completely different from the eldest sister, Mrs. Song is still partial, but Mrs. Song is very in charge of our eldest sister." ”

"That's natural, I heard that if Song Shilang is not promoted in two years, it will be difficult to walk in the officialdom, and my father is now the governor, which is different." Lishu knew that Liwan was like this, but she also echoed a few words.

It can be regarded as resolving the matter of the last time she pushed Liwan out and Lizhen.

Li Wan smiled: "Yes, my sister is a person who understands things, not to mention the big sister, even I am no one to provoke." ”

Lishu originally wanted to say that officialdom is changing rapidly, especially the river, last time my father was at odds with Zhu Shangshu and others, but this time I am afraid that it will be used again.

Why rely on your father's authority, in this way, it is better to stand on your own first.

But she also knew that she would not listen to what she said.

When they came in, the grandchildren and sons-in-law of the Liu family were a group of harmony, among the five sons-in-law, Zeng Yunxi is now helping the second room to take care of the business, relying on the Zeng and Liu families, they all eat very well in the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and he is also the most harmonious, and he has a relationship with several brothers-in-law

It's all very good.

Among the five sons-in-law, the most noble identity is Cen Shifang, Cen Shifang is now the prince of the Hou Mansion and a confidant of the East Palace, but he is different from his wife, he does not put on the so-called Hou Mansion prince's shelf, but talks and laughs, which is very funny. Cen Shifang and Song Mingji were in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and Song Mingji, as the eldest brother-in-law, did not dare to put on a show.

The two of them were very polite to Zheng Hao, and Cen Shifang said to Zheng Hao: "I heard that Fengzheng will be rotating the cabinet next year, but is it true? ”

Rotating cabinet, participating in central affairs, all major events in the world are known first-hand.

Zheng Hao has only been in the Hanlin Academy for a year, and he can enter the cabinet to do things, and no one in the world wants to be stammered.

Zheng Hao was very serious: "The master of the academy only said that he would report my name, and as for whether he could be elected, he said." ”

"Even if you can't be selected, I think the third brother-in-law must also be the chief examiner of the township examination, and it is okay to go to Nanjing." Wu Xuanhe's official family's sons and nephews of the prime minister are also clear about these.

Zheng Hao said with a smile: "Since ancient times, we have been poor and poor, and we Hanlin are looking forward to going to a rich place like Nanjing, but I am afraid that those old Hanlin people in the Hanlin Academy will be squeezed out, where do I dare to think." It's Xuanhe, since you're ready to end, you have to study hard. ”

Where is Wu Xuanhe who can study hard, he really wants to make up for it directly, but there are two brothers above, and he may not be able to take his turn.

But it's not easy to say what is in his heart, so he only laughs a few times.

No one was happy again for a while, Cen Shifang had always drunk a lot of alcohol, Zeng Yunxi and Song Mingji were also heavy drinkers, Wu Xuanhe was younger in the end, although the amount of alcohol on weekdays was good, but among the people present today, he was the only one who was still studying in Guozijian.

The rest of the people, even Zeng Yunxi, began to take over the identity of the Zeng family, and they all had grace between their actions.

Cen Shifang and Zheng Hao talked about a certain official again, Zheng Hao also answered casually, Cen Shi assured that if this Zheng Hao is really on the rotating cabinet, although there are officials in the East Palace now, they are all very guarded, if there is anything Zheng Hao in the cabinet to pass the news, it is not a good thing.

Zheng Hao drinks very sparingly, and hates alcoholics very much, so he almost always drinks a few glasses and stays sober at all times.

So much so that Cen Shifang thought that Zheng Hao was really deep in the city, and he almost didn't show any meaning, he was happy and angry at a young age, but no matter how big the temptation was, it was difficult for him to be moved.

It is no wonder that this son is becoming more and more famous, I heard that villains are afraid of him in the officialdom, gentlemen are friendly with him, and adults are optimistic about him. I don't know what will move him?

But after thinking about it, I will be the future Hou Ye, the confidant of the Son of Heaven, so why bother to break the knots.

Halfway through, Lirou also slipped out to talk to Aunt Ding, and the mother and daughter were very happy, in fact, Lirou was pregnant, which was not an earth-shattering joy, but it was a great joy for Aunt Ding.

"That's just right, you can only stand on your feet when you're pregnant, your second sister has been married for two years, and her stomach is still empty, and the third girl has no children, as long as you give birth to a son, it's fine."

Lirou smiled: "Now my daughter's treatment in the Wu family is very good, the sister-in-law is in charge of the house, and often fights with her mother-in-law, and the second sister-in-law refuses to be softer, but I am now all like a mother-in-law and a fly, I don't refute what she says, but she still thinks I'm a good one." ”

Aunt Ding thought it was funny, and said, "I see that you have a sharp belly, you must be a boy." ”

Lirou thought to herself that marrying someone was indeed the second reincarnation,

The eldest sister and Lishu were daughters before,

But they are all difficult to give birth, the eldest sister is okay, and finally gave birth to Lin'er, and it will be difficult for Lishu to do it.

After the play was over, the Liu family made a first-class banquet again, and Mrs. Xu's housekeeper was lenient, especially when Cen Shi came today, she spent money like running water.

Lishu was a little sick to her stomach at noon, and now the table was full of all kinds of flavors, and she began to retch, for fear that everyone would be in bad spirits, so she was ready to go down.

Where did I know that Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "Imperial Doctor Bao is eating and drinking at our house today, just call him over." ”

Lishu suddenly had a vague feeling that she seemed to have, because her menstrual period had been inaccurate, and she rarely came last time. But I'm afraid of empty joy, I haven't slept with Zheng Hao these days, but I'm not sure.

The sisters are all gossiping, with false feelings and temptations, and some who read jokes.

She had turned a deaf ear and was just waiting for the bag to come.

Zheng Hao stood outside the curtain, and when he saw that Imperial Physician Bao was taking the pulse, he couldn't take his eyes off it, and only after a moment, he heard Imperial Physician Bao smile and said: "Zheng Xiu, your lady is indeed pregnant, and her days are still shallow, only two months, so it is not obvious." ”

Ecstasy surrounded the little couple, and Lishu really couldn't believe that she was actually pregnant, and she really had a little life in her belly. I wonder if he or she was born, like himself or like a husband?

Zheng Hao is usually a person who lifts heavy weights, but today his head is blank after hearing the good news.

"Lishu, am I really going to be a daddy?" He didn't know how to describe himself, he used to think that he was still a teenager, a person who hadn't grown up, but now he suddenly became a father, and finally had a sense of responsibility.

Lishu nodded: "Yes, you have to be a father, and I have to be a mother." ”

If no one got up next to the two, Imperial Doctor Bao coughed, Lishu pushed Zheng Hao, and then he ordered someone to give a reward, and asked Lishu how she was?

Doctor Bao said: "The third girl also grew up under my watch, she is in good health, and there is nothing wrong with the fetus now, but you should pay more attention to your diet." Rabbit meat can't be eaten, and there are cold things......"

Zheng Hao listened very seriously.

……

When Mrs. Liu saw Zheng Hao and Lishu come together to tell her the good news, she also folded her hands with joy: "Amitabha, this is great." ”

Lishu was also smiling like a flower, and looked at her stomach again, feeling amazing.

But he still thanked Mrs. Liu: "Today is thanks to my grandmother." ”

Mrs. Liu smiled and waved her hand: "Silly girl, your mother is not around, I have to worry about you." The old man also took off the jade pendant she wore on weekdays and gave it to Lishu.

Lishu thanked her again and again, but she was not overly happy, she was only immersed in the fact that she was going to be a mother, and she missed her mother-in-law a little.

Zheng Hao raised the corners of his mouth, and although he controlled it well, he still smiled.

Cen Shifang glanced at him, and said in his heart, he was still thinking about what moved him, but he didn't expect Zheng Hao to laugh like a dog's tail flower so quickly, which made him feel that he was not as good as the jade-like brother-in-law before, so it was more normal.!
