The husband and wife can't have the same room, not only Lishu feels that there is no intimate person around her, Zheng Hao also feels alone, when they first separated, Zheng Hao didn't think much about it because he was sad, and now that the husband and wife finished speaking, they were going to separate again, and he was reluctant.

"Shu'er, I am reluctant to go, I really want to transform into this jade pendant on your chest, so that I can accompany you."

Zheng Hao was coquettish, and he was reluctant to let go at all.

Lishu smiled: "No wonder people say that you scholars have a lot of flowers, and you come with your mouth open to say such sweet words." ”

Zheng Hao swore an oath: "Where I say sweet words, it is clearly true." ”

Seeing that Zheng Hao's eyes were blue, Lishu softened again: "It's better to go back and rest early, when you get to your hometown, there are many people to deal with." I grew up in such a large family, and I socialized a lot. ”

Zheng Hao couldn't help but hug her when he saw Lishu like this, and felt more and more that her small appearance and small movements were very much in line with his heart. In fact, he was sometimes very dependent on her, although she was delicate, but very strong, and any big thing was a trivial matter to her.

But even if she was reluctant, the husband and wife lived in separate rooms, and Lishu couldn't sleep in a strange place. Half-asleep, it was already dawn, Brother Qi and Brother Shu were still asleep, Lishu leaned over and kissed the two sons, or let the nurse come in to wake them up, get up quickly.

Mrs. Zheng felt very sorry for her two grandsons: "What are you doing when you get up so early, even if you have to sleep a little longer." ”

"Anyway, I'm going to be on the road today, so I don't have to rest. Mother, how are your bones? Can it withstand it? Lishu asked with concern.

Although Mrs. Zheng was a little tired, she didn't have anything serious, and for a while, she said that Mrs. Zhu came to visit.

This Mrs. Zhu is said to be from the Hongnong Yang family, and obviously does not have the same beauty as Yang Guifei, who is also from the Hongnong Yang family, but is born with rough hands and feet, a huge skeleton, a mediocre appearance, and two longitudinal lines on the center of the eyebrows, which should often frown and be angry.

"Oh, your sister is the second wife of Gu, and she is extremely capable." Mrs. Zheng quickly figured out Mrs. Zhu's background.

But I think it's very strange, you must know that the maiden family of the second wife Gu used to be the official to the great Sikong, that is, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, how could she marry her daughter to the little-known Zhu family.

Even the second wife married in line with the marriage of the children of the family, Hongnong Yang married the Zheng family of Xingyang, and the third uncle of the Zheng family was also the Taishou of Hangzhou.

Mrs. Zhu said with a smile: "My sister has been smarter and more capable than me since she was a child, not that I can compare, this time I didn't expect my lord to be sent to Xingzhou to be a fellow acquaintance, and I will have to take more care of my in-laws in the future." ”

"That's nature." Mrs. Zheng treats people very kindly and never disagrees with herself.

Mrs. Zhu sat for a while, and saw that although Lishu was young, she was beautiful and graceful, and her bearing was extraordinary, so she realized that her mother-in-law played the banner of Jinghu Liu.

At that time, the Liu family was very prosperous, and their family was not only a fellow townsman with the first hand, but Liu Dongye was also the governor of Zuodu, and the commander of Jinyi Wei. Her father and mother thought that Mrs. Zhu was from a famous family, and she had a cousin who was the governor of Zuodu, and at that time, there was also the prince of Wuyang who was begging to marry Miss Zhu, so she could rest assured that she would be married.

It was only after marriage that she learned that her mother-in-law never returned to her mother

family, and even have little to do with his mother's family. It is said that the mother-in-law considered herself a widow and did not like to associate with outsiders.

When Mrs. Zhu went back, she saw a young woman with a soft melon seed face waiting here, and said angrily: "Aunt Dong, what are you doing?" ”

"It's okay how dare the concubine disturb Madame, but after a while, the master asked me to go to Madame and get a belt."

Aunt Dong looked a little aggrieved.

Mrs. Zhu scolded Aunt Dong for a long time, and Aunt Dong's crying pear blossoms brought rain, so Zhu Tongzhi comforted her again.

This Aunt Dong is the old daughter of Dong's mother, originally arranged to do some sprinkling and cleaning work in Zhu Tongzhi's outer courtyard, not to be a maid in the house, and in the future, she begged the old lady to give her grace and go out to marry, but she wanted to be an aunt's wife. Marrying a small businessman, the businessman is not at home for most of the year, he values profit over parting, where is there an official concubine.

Because of this, Dong's mother wants to cut off relations with her daughter.

Of course, the most angry is Mrs. Zhu, when she first got married, she saw that Aunt Dong was the daughter of Dong's mother, she was born bright and well-behaved, neat and neat, and relied on others as confidants.

Aunt Dong didn't ask Mrs. Zhu how to think of her, she gave birth to two sons, although her knowledge is not good, but she is always smart and clever, and she is favored, why worry about no future?

It's just that when Zhu Tongzhi left, Fang Cai's pity was gone.

Two little girls came in from outside and said, "The people of the Zheng family have already set off, how it is the grandeur of the wealthy family, I know everything today." ”

"That's, so the old lady is an impostor, I quietly met the Miss Liu, even if it is the hemp white dress worn by Shouxiao, it is also made of high-quality snow satin, and the shot is very generous, very magnificent." Aunt Dong also follows Zhu Tongzhi, her red sleeves are fragrant, and she is often in the official family, so she is very knowledgeable.

A girl said: "Of course, this grandmother Zheng is young, she is the bachelor's wife, and the people say that the bachelor will be the prime minister in the future." ”

Aunt Dong smiled: "Then isn't she a pear flower pressing a begonia?" ”

"No, Master Zheng is in his early thirties, very young, and the slave has never seen such a good-looking man again." The maid's face turned red.

Aunt Dong thought for a while before she said, "I heard that the eldest girl is going to marry to the Wuyang Hou Mansion?" ”

The maid shook her head: "The slave maid has inquired, the old lady wants to marry the eldest girl to the Wuyang Marquis Mansion, but the lady is unwilling." ”

"It would be good if I could marry the Hou Mansion of Wuyang, after all, it is the Hou Mansion." Aunt Dong muttered.

The maid said: "Auntie, this has nothing to do with us, anyway, the eldest girl is the daughter of the lady, and the eldest girl has no respect for you at all." ”

Aunt Dong reacted quickly and didn't say much.

But the maid thought too, the eldest girl and Aunt Dong's second son were born in the same year, month, and day, is Aunt Dong thinking about her son's marriage? This is unknown.

Zhu Tongzhi didn't pay attention to the things in the backyard Lishu didn't pay attention to it at all, she had already gone on the road with Zheng Hao, Zheng Hao was riding a horse in front, Lishu would open the curtain from time to time to look ahead, every time she saw Zheng Hao's figure, she felt at ease.

After a day and a half, the Zheng family and his party had already arrived home.

Lishu said to Brother Qi: "Wait a while, there will be a lot of people, you have to pull your brother and protect him."

Good brother, you know? ()”

≈ldo;? [(()”

Qi Ge'er grimaced.

Lishu poked Brother Shu'er's head: "Put on your hat, listen to my brother, do you know?" ”

Brother Shu was coquettish, and in the end, it was Brother Qi who took his hand and went in.

The gate of Zheng's house opened, and there were many people standing inside, and when Zheng Botang (Lishu's father-in-law) stepped forward, they all knelt down and cried, and Lishu immediately burst into tears, so that Zheng Hao, who turned around and was afraid that Lishu would be frightened, was shocked.

You must know that Lishu rarely cries, her personality is very strong, but she always cries by herself, and lets her watch jokes, I really didn't expect her tears to come.

Tan Shi also took out a handkerchief that had been prepared a long time ago, and this handkerchief had already been stained with spicy things, and tears immediately welled up in his eyes.

In fact, after these few months, the saddest time of the Zheng family has passed, and it is difficult to cry anymore.

Zheng Botang also wiped away his tears, but seeing that Mrs. Zheng's body is weak, I am afraid that it will not be possible to manage the funeral, it is very likely that Mrs. Zheng will have to hold another funeral.

But the daughter-in-law is still very young, although she has been a housekeeper for two years, she has never managed a wedding or funeral, and the first time the wife of the clan does things perfectly, otherwise, how will she serve the public in the future? Therefore, he said: "Let the second wife of the third room help with the funeral, Brother Hao's daughter-in-law, you are still young, learn more from your aunt." ”

This result is not unusual, Lishu has never been to Xingyang, and she doesn't understand the ancient rites of the Zheng family, if she takes over rashly, it will not be beautiful to make jokes.

She said very respectfully: "Yes, my daughter-in-law will definitely learn from my aunt." ”

Entering from the main entrance, Li Shu felt that the Zheng family in Xingyang was big, their house in Beijing was already very large, and it was even more obvious here, the endless houses and mansions, and the hanging lintels highlighted the extraordinaryness of the Zheng family.

Lishu was okay, her expression was well controlled, but Tan was amazed all the way.

Zongfang's house is in the Wujin mansion on the central axis, Lishu helped Mrs. Zheng in, Mrs. Zheng sighed: "Since I went to Beijing more than ten years ago, my family has never come back, I didn't expect to come back again because of your grandmother's funeral." ”

Lishu hurriedly relieved: "Mother, I heard from my uncle that the family has already installed a good acupoint, so that she can return to her hometown, and her old man is also at ease." ”

"It's this Li'er, now that I'm back, I'm at ease." After Mrs. Zheng sat down, she always felt very tired.

The boat was tiring, eating and sleeping, but fortunately, Lishu let the doctor accompany her, and Mrs. Zheng did not get seriously ill. In this way, Lishu had no choice but to say to Mrs. Zheng's eldest maid: "You should pay more attention to your wife on weekdays, and you can't let her be sad and happy, so it is not easy to maintain your body." ”

Xiangxin added some peppermint oil to the ear-picking hairpin on her head, rubbed her temples for Mrs. Zheng familiarly, and said while rubbing: "Grandma, don't you know, the slave has persuaded a few times, and Mrs. is filial to the old lady, and we can't stop it." ”

Really good at talking, Lishu glanced at her heart, and praised Mrs. Zheng a few words.

Mrs. Zheng knows that her daughter-in-law is quite aggressive, it is said that others like to seek Buddha at home, even if they don't like to worship Buddha, they must make an indifferent look of fame and fortune, her daughter-in-law loves to embroider Sun Wukong with her grandchildren, and Qi Ge'er once told her that her mother only worships one Buddha, that is, to fight to defeat the Buddha.

Fighting to defeat the Buddha is the Monkey King!

And Monkey King is the most famous

One of the plays is the Havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but say: "Brother Hao, as the eldest son and grandson, has to keep filial piety for three years, and in the future, he will always go to Beijing." Most of this hometown is still run by the people of the hometown, and the clan affairs are complicated and messy, so you don't have to be too careful, and the cultivation of the body is the first. ”

Lishu heard the voiceover, although she assisted Mrs. Gu in housekeeping, it was best to speak less, anyway, even if you are in charge now, in a few years you will go to Beijing, and your hometown will still be out of reach, what should you do when the time comes, why bother to take care of things now?

The steward is meant to offend people, and what good is it to a new patriarch to offend people?

Now is the time to build fame.

How Lishu didn't understand this truth, she thought it was true on her face and didn't refute it.

Just as Lishu was about to say goodbye to Zheng Hao's courtyard, someone outside said: "Mrs., Mrs. Gu is here." ”

Lishu inquired with Zheng Hao yesterday about this second wife, is the eldest daughter-in-law of the third room, the family is from Hongnong Yang's family, his father once served as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Zheng Gu's husband and wife relationship is also very good, the husband and wife gave birth to two daughters and a son, one daughter has been married, and there is a daughter who is only six years old this year, is the old daughter of the couple, and the son also got married last year.

Yang's everything is good, just one point, although Zheng Gu is from the family of the official eunuch, he is talented, but his talent is mediocre, and he didn't even pass the exam.

But unlike her mediocre husband, Yang heard that he was very shrewd and capable.

Lo and behold, she came in.

What catches her eye is a middle-aged beauty, she is about forty years old, and she is also dressed in plain clothes, this age, her face is still like a full moon, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her cherry mouth is small, and her green willows are waisted.

Behind the Yang family, two rough envoys came over with the box, and she was blessed first, and then cried for a while, thinking about the various benefits of Mrs. Zheng.

"Don't cry first, let me introduce you to Brother Hao's daughter-in-law and Brother Qing's daughter-in-law, they were both married in Beijing, I'm afraid you don't know each other." Mrs. Zheng was also hurt by her crying, and introduced the two daughters-in-law with a smile.

Lishu and Tan stepped forward to salute, but Yang avoided his body and was not polite.

Li Shu thought, no matter what, this person is very polite, and he is much stronger than her sister Madame Zhu.

After the gossip, Yang couldn't help but say: "I have the account books here, please ask my sister-in-law to check one or two, these years, since the death of my father-in-law, I am in charge of the clan, but it is not as good as my sister-in-law." Just when my sister-in-law came back, I also returned to the original owner. ”

Mrs. Zheng said: "Brother and sister, where is this to say, I don't care much now." I can't thank you enough for being at home and taking care of our family affairs. ”

"Sister-in-law, let's look at the account books first."

"Not necessarily."

Mrs. Zheng resolutely didn't look at it, but Yang didn't follow it, she looked fair and strict, and she had to let Mrs. Zheng see it. Mrs. Zheng had no choice but to say: "Now I don't care about anything, and all the big and small things in the family are handed over to Brother Hao's daughter-in-law." ”

Yang's eyes turned to Lishu at this time, and he saw that this girl was kind and beautiful, but she was such an immortal-like girl. She was a little surprised that she was now Lishu's housekeeper, but she still asked people to open the box and send it to Lishu.

Lishu hurriedly said: "Auntie, I still don't have to read it, my wife believes in you, and I believe in you." ”

"Since ancient times, my brothers have to settle accounts with their names, Brother Hao's daughter-in-law, to be honest, I'm not afraid of your jokes, if you check it, I'll feel at ease." Yang's picture, you look at it quickly, I am completely fair and fair.

But Lishu also knows that the account that can be brought to the table may not be able to find out anything.

She looked at it a few times, the Tan family personally poured tea for Lishu, she had a good relationship with Lishu and Lishu, this time she came back to deal with the Wang family, and she also needed Lishu's help, so she was naturally more attentive.

This subtle move made Yang see it, and she lowered her head and ate a cup of tea.

Lishu looked at it casually before putting down the account book and said: "I believe in my aunt very much, and my father-in-law also said that you are capable, and you are the number one person in the clan, let me learn more from your side." ”

Yang snorted again: "My nephew and daughter-in-law are young, and they are the daughter of a eunuch, and they are already in charge of the family business, so why do you need me to teach?" When you say this, you really torment me. ”

On that day, the Yang family specially renovated a table of somen feasts for their people who came back from Beijing, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves and washed their tiredness.

Lishu had to let people take care of her house first, during which the Yang family was very attentive, and sent someone to clean it, repair the tiles and paint, but whenever Lishu had any doubts, she immediately sent someone to solve it.

Even Mrs. Rong, who returned to Xingyang first, said of her: "She is a Lisuo person, which is also the reason why she handed over the affairs of the Zong family to her at that time." ”

In Mrs. Rong's place, there are no bad people in the world, and Lishu knows that it is in vain to ask her. However, Lishu sent Zhulan out to investigate, and then said: "Second Mrs. Gu is not without whispers in the clan, but she has a lot of power, and everyone dare not say that she is not good." ”

But Zhulan also persuaded Lishu: "Actually, what my wife said is right, it's just that you will return to Beijing in a year and a half, what do you care about her doing these things." ”

Lishu bowed: "I think so too, but no matter what, it's better to know yourself and your opponent." I flipped through the books she had shown me, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with them, but it was because they were so perfect that I suspected something was wrong. Everyone has taken care of the house, and the price situation is different every year, but she has completely settled everything. ”

"When the water is clear, there is no fishing." Zhulan had no choice but to persuade so.

Although Lishu is a clan wife, her mother-in-law does not support her in taking care of the sect affairs now, and her father-in-law also thinks that she is too young and is afraid that something will go wrong. And the Yang family is on call for their room anyway, with a respectful attitude, and does not despise her because she is young, which is already very good.

I don't know anything about this place now, and I don't know the place well, if I work against someone who has been managing clan affairs for more than ten years, it will only be a failure, and even Zheng Hao may not be able to speak for himself.

Thinking like this, Lishu followed the Yang family to take care of Mrs. Zheng's funeral, and did not take the lead, just order something.

Soon the group sent Mrs. Zheng out of the funeral, and on the day of the funeral, the ladies went back first after sending Mrs. Zheng off, and the Yang family and Lishu left some things to finish, and they needed to temporarily live in the Zheng family's home view Qingyang Temple.

Qingyang Guanzhong was originally used by the Zheng family's unmarried or widowed women to cultivate the Tao, and later there were some lonely women nearby who came to the door, and after Lishu covered her face with a hot cloth, she was eating with the Yang family.

Yang also pointed to the mushroom noodles in front of the table and said, "You taste it, this noodles are very strong, even we often do."

Come over often. ”

Lishu smiled: "Okay, looking at Huang Chengcheng, it makes people's appetite move." ”

When the two were eating noodles, the Yang family also told the Lishu clan which households were really in difficulty, and which ones were pretending to be poor, and when they were talking about the rise, they only heard someone outside come and say: "Oh no, second wife, there is a group of tenants who don't know how to hear that you are here, so they came up and surrounded them, and we sent some food to them, and they made a fuss." ”

Lishu knows that this year's drought in Henan is often due to starvation bones on the road, probably these people.

Yang snorted coldly: "I give porridge twice a month this year, but our Zheng family is not an official government after all, and we still have people who can't eat in our own house." ”

That's right, Lishu said to herself.

After a while, the outside steward spread the word that those troublemakers had been arrested and sent to the government for punishment. Yang took Lishu's hand and said: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, don't blame me for being ruthless, as the saying goes, there is no thunderbolt method, and there is no bodhisattva's heart." Although our Zheng family is a family of eunuchs, we can't open this opening, otherwise, the homeless people will be raised when they make trouble. ”

Lishu was silent, she knew that starting from the Zheng family itself, this was right.

But I didn't expect someone to suddenly shout outside: "Second Mrs. Zheng, you are also a person with parents and children, our fields have been bought by you, you deceived us into selling them to you, I didn't expect that as soon as our fields were sold, the rivers there were diverted, and the dry fields became paddy fields, and now my two daughters are starving to death, God, God......"

Hearing this, Lishu instantly looked at the Yang family, and the Yang family said angrily: "Don't stop their mouths yet, these Diao people, they sold their land to us, but now they don't admit it." ”

There were also babies crying outside, and children crying, Lishu didn't want to conflict with the Yang family in this matter, after all, if this is really the case, these people will not be able to win even if they fight a lawsuit.

But everyone has compassion, and now that the Zheng family has returned from Beijing, they know that Lord Zhu is the brother-in-law of the Yang family, and these victims are already hungry, and dozens of boards are almost dying.

While Lishu was thinking, the Yang family was about to go out to deal with it in person, but was stopped by Lishu: "Auntie, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, I heard that many of them are still young children, so you can spare them." ”

Yang was instantly displeased: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, you are still young, so it is too kind of a woman." Wait for me to get out—"

"Auntie, please let them go for my sake, just disperse them away." Lishu stopped her with a smile, and Zhulan, who was standing on the side, knew that the girl was extremely upright, she often said that she was not a good person, but she was a person with compassion, but it was obviously not a good way to face the Yang family like this.

Yang was also stunned, he didn't expect that he would be stopped at the door and couldn't go out. Did she think this brother Hao's daughter-in-law was crazy? For a few people to make a stalemate with themselves? Since ancient times, relatives have been hidden from each other, and their own family members should help their own families?!
