Mrs. Xu and Lizhen came back from Mrs. Liu, the mother and daughter changed their clothes again, Mrs. Xu was still very satisfied with her daughter's performance today: "You behaved very well today, you are Mrs. Hou, you must be magnanimous, you can't be like a black-eyed chicken like before." Now that you have children and have children, and you have to be valued by your lord, you should know that this man likes sensible and atmospheric women, and the more troublesome you are, the more stiff you will become. ”

"How could I not know this? After the third sister made such a fuss back then, I couldn't go out for more than half a year, and as long as I went out, I thought about the ridicule of others, and I didn't know how to get through. Lizhen was very confused, thinking that she had finally survived.

Mrs. Xu patted her on the shoulder: "The more critical the moment, the more you have to calm down." I've heard that the third aunt made up for the lack of the right attendant of the ministry, he really couldn't bear it, when Bai Xingzhong was sent out, he also immediately guarded filial piety at home, and now Bai Xingzhong came back, he waited for two more years, but his career was further. ”

Lizhen sneered: "The third sister doesn't seem to care about the career of the third brother-in-law, but now she is beautiful and young, and in the future, she will be old and decrepit, and she may not be the same as always." The daughter just figured it out, so she didn't want to worry about her, she was young and ignorant before, and she always envied her, but now that she thinks about it, people like them, even if they are from a family, they still want to be judged. But in three years, thousands of children, there are only 300 people, and her son also has to work hard to get the exam, I see that the third brother Shurui has black hair mixed with white hair, which shows that studying is hard, and my son will inherit the position of the prince of the Hou Mansion. ”

Mrs. Xu was relieved that her daughter finally saw the essence: "You are a nobleman, completely different, but now the third aunt has to use it, you know, the emperor likes Zheng Hao very much, and now for the sake of the East Palace, you will not lose this great man." ”

Lizhen knows this, so she is so indifferent today, of course, there are other reasons, and she won't say this reason.

It's just that today's Lizhen thought of her own sister-in-law today, and couldn't help but say: "Didn't you say that you invited your grandmother to the house, why can't she support the wall like this?" ”

Mrs. Xu said: "At this time, at that time, although the family has a lot of complaints about her, since she was elected as the crown prince Liangdi, she is the first person under the crown princess. is the future master, who dares to really care about her, even your grandmother let the three girls take care of it, it is also because the three girls have always been quite bold, there is no one in this world that she is afraid of, not to mention that Zheng Hao and his father were originally attached to the officials of the Zhan Mansion, and they are also considered to be people in the East Palace, so it is nothing for her to discipline. ”

Cen Shifang is a confidant of the East Palace, and in the future, the seventh girl will be Lizhen's master, and Lizhen can't really treat her even if she is her sister-in-law. This can be regarded as Mrs. Xu's suggestion that Mrs. Liu let Lishu teach.

The little maid outside said, "The eldest lady, the fifth aunt and grandmother, the old lady has a seat over there, and I am inviting the two of you over." ”

Mrs. Xu and Lizhen glanced at each other, and the two of them let people set up a car.

At this time, Lishu, Xiao Fu and Liwan were already in Xishun Hall, and at this time, Cen Shifang had just walked to the door, and when he entered the door, he pulled Zheng Hao to greet him: "We are still talking about when you will come back, third brother-in-law, and I never thought that I would go further when I came back now." ”

Although he had already learned the result, Zheng Hao still said humbly: "What are you talking about, fifth brother-in-law, come, the two of us haven't eaten together for a long time, let's meet today for a drink." ”

Cen Shifang smiled heartily: "How to eat only one cup, you should eat a few more cups." ”

"Okay, then don't get drunk and don't go home." Zheng Hao raised his glass.

Lishu rarely sees Zheng Hao socializing, because she knows very well that Zheng Hao is actually not a big drinker, and even keeps it very clean at home, and his body always exudes a fragrance. And men of the same age, Lishu can smell the smell of wine and meat on their bodies when they get closer, which is very unpleasant.

And the reason why Zheng Hao is always dry and smells good is because he rarely drinks and doesn't like meat, and even eats it is difficult to eat, and he doesn't eat sour and spicy, and he eats very light.

Just like Lishu loves to eat stinky tofu, Zheng Hao will throw it away even if he loves Lishu very much, and he will not force himself to eat it, and there is mutton with a strong smell, no matter how delicious it is, he has to rinse his mouth with tea at most.

But this is such a person, but he has to socialize outside and do some things to force himself, he really wants to protect his family and make people pity, but he feels that his husband is becoming more and more handsome and elegant.

Lishu couldn't even help but share it with Xiao Fu: "Mother, do you think Brother Qi'er's father is very handsome." ”

Xiao Fu was stunned by his daughter's unashamed words, "Be quiet." ”

"What's quiet." If Lishu is at home, she will definitely lean in to see her husband.

Of course, Lizhen's small movements were clearly seen by Lizhen, when Lizhen was still young, she was also very obsessed with Zheng Hao's appearance and bearing, and that fairy-like posture was enough to make every woman blushing and hot.

Li Wan watched the fire from the other side, so she could naturally see everything.

On such an occasion, Zeng Yunxi must also be there, he is very attentive, it should be said that in the past few years, he has become more and more attentive to the Liu family than before, and Liwan can often be with him, saying everything in the house, and his position is very stable.

In the past few years, the uncle of the Zeng family has been in the Ministry of Industry, he is old and sick, only orphans and widows are left in the third room, and the second room is already in danger.

Fortunately, Zeng Yunxi has such a big backer as the Liu family, once upon a time, the Zeng family had greater momentum than the Liu family, and the daughter of the Liu family had to go to the Zeng family to study. Because of this, the second room of the Zeng family has contacts with every girl of the Liu family, even if they are married, they are very busy.

As a businessman, you want to get a return on every penny, and you see, the investment made twenty years ago is paying off today.

Although the eldest girl of the Liu family was unlucky, the husband of the third girl was promoted to the left waiter of the Ministry of Officials, and the fifth girl was a marquise.

Otherwise, with Zeng Yunxi's current identity, how could he sit at the same table with the top nobles in the court and the top officials of the extremely popular ministers.

Zeng Yunxi said with a smile: "This is the good wine I brought today, third brother-in-law, I sent ten jars to you, I know that there is no shortage of your family, but this wine is rare, you can taste it fresh." ”

Compared with Cen Shifang, Zeng Yunxi still prefers to deal with Zheng Hao, although Cen Shifang seems to have done enough to corporal Lixian, but he has a gloomy temperament and a lot of calculations, but he is hidden under his arrogant temperament. But Zheng Hao is different, Zeng Yunxi once had a tricky matter to solve with Zheng Hao, he quickly found someone to help him, and he never took credit afterwards.

Moreover, Zheng Hao has never disliked businessmen, he lives a very simple life on weekdays, I heard his wife once say that he went to Zheng's house, and the third aunt brought the meat and vegetables back, saying that Zheng Hao only ate a plate of tofu, and he was not pretending, it was true.

Such a good person, Zeng Yunxi also likes him very much.

"Thank you, second brother-in-law." Zheng Hao took the initiative to clink glasses with him.

Of course, Cen Shifang found that Zeng Yunxi and Zheng Hao were very close, he thought that he was talking to Zeng Yunxi on weekdays, and he took care of him, but he was even closer to Zheng Hao, which puzzled him.

The undercurrent of the men is surging, and the brothers Liu Chengzong and Liu Chengxu, who are sitting at the top, can see it clearly, one of the brothers is silent, the other is straightforward, but they are silent.

Lishu is eating, appetite is very good, every time she goes back to her parents' house, she feels very comfortable, now that her in-laws are not there, she doesn't have to go back early, for fear that her in-laws will be unhappy, so she is even more happy.

Besides, most of today's Huguang dishes, especially the chili peppers are very enjoyable, sweating, but very good, she added an extra bowl, and Xiao Fu asked people to send hawthorn soup for her to eat.

Even if he has a son and grandson, Xiao Fu still treats his daughter like a child, and feeds her to drink. Lishu hurriedly said, "I'll drink it myself." ”

"This kid ......," Xiao Fu laughed.

After Lishu finished drinking, she invited them to play at home with Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Xu, she thought that Mrs. Liu would not go, but she didn't expect Mrs. Liu to agree.

Strange to say, they also like to go to the Zheng family, and when it comes to going to the Zheng family, even Shulin, who has never liked to go to relatives, said that it was good.

Lishu didn't know why, but Xiao Fu knew: "Because you can be the master in your family, they are all willing to play, if you can't be the master, who wants to go, you are a lively person, the family is lively, and you don't let the guests be restrained." ”

So it sees, in the next few days, Zheng Hao's official position was conferred, and now he has sealed the right servant of the ministry, and the current official department is no longer Lord Wu, Lord Wu has been a minister this year, and died on the way home.

The rich are there, but the expensive ones are unknown, which is why I didn't see Lirou after returning to Beijing.

When I was young, the sisters were in the same place, and the relationship with each other was not good, but now that they have grown up, they find that the personnel have dissipated, and some people say that if they can't see each other, they can't see each other.

Although he was cranky, he also ordered the banquet one by one, appetizers, hot soup, cold dishes, seasonal fresh fruits, dim sum, and the invited juggling troupe, which only kept people busy.

Zhu Lingxuan also came to help, her grandmother was from the Jinghu Liu family, and she was proud of the family on weekdays, but tomorrow she wanted to meet the people at the top of the Jinghu Liu family. What will others do to her, if she is affectionate, she will inevitably be said to be attached, if she is not affectionate, she will definitely not succeed.

Thinking of this, she remembered her aunt's attitude when she went to her aunt's house, and she didn't blame her at all, and knew that she was living in the Zheng family and was getting better and better for her, Zhu Lingxuan of course understood that Uncle Hao was promoted to the rank of servant of the ministry, this is the official of the Quanquan, a very popular minister, and they also followed the light, especially the name of the Zheng family in Xingyang is very big, which is probably the power of the family.

"Auntie, are these fruits made from these plates?" Zhu Lingxuan took two citron plates and brought them to Lishu.

Lishu nodded: "This is very good-looking, I remember that there are two high-foot plates, which are green ink flowers and birds patterns, so placed together, high and low are scattered." ”

Although it is a family member, it can't be simple, and they must be made to have fun and feel more at home.

Zhu Lingxuan saw that Lishu attached so much importance to her, although the relationship between her and Lishu was poor, they were both young people, and Lishu rarely put on a fight, she couldn't help asking: "The relationship between my aunt and my mother's family must be very good, otherwise I wouldn't be so concerned, I'm really envious." ”

Lishu smiled: "I see that Mrs. Zhu is also very good to you." ”

No matter how good it is, it's far away now, Zhu Lingxuan is also a new bride, and she is still homesick. Lishu couldn't help but comfort her: "You can't help but feel cold when you come to live in Beijing, but this coldness is not bad, at least you can do whatever you want." Now you have to cherish the days with your family Liulang, otherwise, when you have a child, you will be fettered everywhere, and it will be inconvenient to go anywhere. ”

This is also the experience of people who have come before, there is a big difference between having children and not having children, and I always can't have fun if I want to play.

Zhu Lingxuan does not have a mother-in-law now, and lives in a single household on weekdays, but in fact, his life is still very comfortable, and the relationship with Zheng Miao is naturally growing day by day, and the so-called feelings are also getting along.

The next day, the whole Liu family came over, and even the eldest uncle, who had always seen the dragon, also came, and even Zheng Hao was a little surprised.

"Uncle." Lishu hurriedly stepped forward, they were all a family, and they did not shy away from welcoming guests in the flower hall together.

Liu Chengzong saw Lishu greeting her warmly, but he just nodded slightly, Lishu was very used to him like this, and she was not very afraid of her uncle, but also introduced: "The peach blossoms and peonies in the garden are blooming very well, do you want to go to enjoy the flowers?" ”

"Hmm." Liu Chengzong's words were concise and to the point.

Mrs. Liu was also very interested, and everyone went to visit the garden together, talking in twos and threes. Zeng Yingxiu hasn't changed much over the years, although the eldest brother Shujing is ambitious and talented, and he is good at fishing, but he is pressed by the elders and does not dare to go too far, she has a pair of twin sons, and her mother-in-law is loose, she is still the same as before.

Lishu and Zeng Yingxiu didn't have time to chat last time, but when they got together today, they couldn't stop talking.

Zeng Yingxiu said: "Qi Niang has been much more humble these days, and she said that you didn't say anything to her." ”

Lishu shook her head: "I just said a few words casually." ”

"It's good to have a few words of advice from you, in fact, we can see in our family that she is too young, and her behavior is impetuous, and she is very worried about her. I only hope that the prince can see that for the sake of our Liu family's loyal ministers for generations, he can respect her Amitabha. ”

"That's right."

Don't look at Zeng Yingxiu's big temperament, in fact, she is still a very transparent person, for example, the eldest brother is not a knowledgeable person, Zeng Yingxiu is very open-minded, and he is not forced on his career, he only works hard to cultivate his son, and serves his in-laws more on weekdays.

Lishu smiled: "When I came back this time, I saw that my fifth sister has become different from before. ”

Zeng Yingxiu knew the grievances between Lishu and Lizhen, and when she saw Lishu asking like this, she whispered: "It's not that Guangyang Hou has come back, and since then she has someone to support her, I heard that Hou Ye wants a son-in-law very much, and the couple soon gave birth to a son, and the relationship has been good since then." Lizhen is also very virtuous, and last year she also helped Hou Ye take a beautiful concubine, and we also met during the New Year. ”

Lishu thought that it was really a difference between a man marrying a wife or taking a concubine, and it was said that Cen Shi had several concubines, but he still wanted a concubine and treated women according to their rank.

"In the past, she fought with me for a small matter of sesame seeds, but now she is happy to share her husband with others." Lishu really didn't understand.

She had always known that she was a deviant, unwilling to share her husband with others, and so horrified that others would call such a woman a.

blurted out such words, Zeng Yingxiu also felt that Lishu's words were too fussful, don't say that the prince and grandson are eunuchs like them, who is not a three-room and four-concubine, if the room is bare, others will laugh at it.

When Lishu saw Zeng Yingxiu's expression, she also knew that she would think so.

cheered up, and let the troupe juggle all the operas come over, the children watched very lively, even Xiao Fu was also very happy, and asked Lishu: "Why did you come back for a few days, and you found such a good-looking juggler, as well as storytellers, this "The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" is really good." ”

"That is, let the housekeeper inquire, and some of them are self-recommended, so that's it anyway." Lishu pouted.

When Xiao Fu saw his daughter like this, he knew that she had something on her mind, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Lishu stood up and said, "A few days ago, someone sent a pair of orchids over, and they were sent away by our uncle, and the pair of orchids was so beautiful." With blue eyes, a high nose, and snow-white skin, even I was ashamed of myself. You said that I was thinking, what if Uncle really accepted it? I've seen enough men with three rooms and four concubines, and I only like to start from the beginning, including men who also have to treat women from the beginning. ”

It turned out that it was for this matter, Xiao Fu said: "Isn't my uncle very good to you?" How do you think so much? ”

"I always keep thinking, maybe this is called gaining and losing." It was difficult for Lishu to have such emotions before, but now I don't know why, probably I like Zheng Hao a little.

It's not just the love between husband and wife, it's the relationship between men and women.

Xiao Fu smiled: "I don't know how to answer you, don't look at your father and I are very good now, but if I am gone, your father may also have other favorite concubines, I advise you not to be overly persistent in the relationship between men and women." ”

Lishu knew that her mother decided to revive her feelings for her father because of herself, so many years have passed, everyone only sees that Liu Chengxu and Xiao Fu have a good relationship, but after Lishu in the previous life, it is clear that the father in the previous life did have a favorite concubine.

She was suddenly a little discouraged, obviously it was so lively now, but she felt very discouraged, as if she was fighting against everyone alone.

But is she going to give in?

No, never.

"I don't care, if he dares to betray me, I will never let him go, he finds one, I find ten."

Xiao Fu was simply shocked by her daughter's wild words, she couldn't react when she got home, and Mrs. Liu still joked on the side: "I see that you have been fascinated by watching hundreds of jugglers today, and when you come home, you are still addicted to it." ”

"yes." Xiao Fu smiled awkwardly.

Seeing Xiao Fu's affection, Mrs. Xu looked over and was a little curious, but Liu Chengxu was very worried.

When the husband and wife returned to the room, Liu Chengxu asked her, "What's wrong with you?" How can you not give up? Isn't it good to be at Lishu's house today? Everyone had a great time. ”

Xiao Fu patted his chest: "Your daughter Lishu is talking to me today, probably someone sent a woman to her uncle, and her aunt sent people away without even looking at them, and she was thinking nonsense there." Do you know what she's talking about today? She said that if her uncle was looking for one behind her back, she would be going to find ten, and I really almost fainted at that time, do you say this is what my daughter's family said? She's too daring, too. ”

originally thought that Liu Chengxu would be angry, but he never thought that he would be more transparent than Xiao Fu: "When I was an official in Shanyang County, there was a family that couldn't bear the pain of giving birth to their daughter, so they bought a degree for their daughter. If Lishu really has this heart, although I will scold her, but if she can really live freely, as long as she doesn't mess around, it is not impossible to find a beloved. ”

These words made Xiao Fu's eyes widen in disbelief: "How can you say such a thing?" ”

"It's nothing, don't worry too much, I think Lishu has her own measure, I always feel that she is different from other children. There is nothing wrong with deviance, the world is just too pedantic and stubborn, and the same is true of the imperial court. Liu Chengxu is also very sad about the erosion of today's officials.

He heard from his son-in-law that his daughter had a great deal of pros and cons in the Zheng family clan, and in just over two years, the entire clan was completely renewed.

Eclectic, honest and capable, very tenacious, such a talent is a social talent.

Dare to think that ordinary people dare not think, dare to do things that ordinary people dare not do.

On the day of synod in May, the palace issued an order to seal the seven ladies of the Liu family as the Liangdi of the prince of the East Palace, and entered the palace, and her status was second only to that of the crown princess Wang.

Lishu is preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival, and the family Qi Ge'er has invited a new husband, Zheng Hao is an official of the imperial court after all, and he is often busy with officialdom and can't take care of his son. The youngest son, Brother Shu'er, also invited a teacher, and Lishu finally didn't have to take care of the children all day long, which was much quieter.

Who knew that the Dragon Boat Festival had not yet passed, first it was the birthday of the prince, originally Lishu rarely entered the palace before, but now because Zheng Hao was promoted to the servant of the Ministry of Officials, of course she was also invited.

She is only twenty-five years old, and she is the wife of the Zhengsanpin Department, and she is sandwiched between many gray-haired old women, which is very eye-catching. Many people have discussed: "Who is this?" Why is he so young, is it anyone's newly married stepfamily? ”

"No, that's the wife of Lord Zheng, the servant of the ministry, and she is the original match."

"It's amazing, so young, it's the wife of the servant."

……

These discussions also entered Lishu's ears, Lishu calmly entered the inner hall with everyone's eyes, and now the crown princess is also from the big family, quite young, looks graceful, sits upright, and raises her hand slightly.

When Lishu entered the hall, the female official said in Wang's ear: "This is Liu, the wife of Zheng Hao, the right attendant of the ministry, and Liu Liangdi's cousin." ”

Wang raised his eyes and looked over, only to see a young woman bowing down, sitting in all directions with a shocked appearance, a pair of apricot eyes full of wisdom and firmness, a woman who was heartbroken at the first sight.

No wonder, no wonder......

The ladies were chatting here, and Wang said with a smile: "Today, the prince said that these days are the days when the Royal Horse Farm is open, and I may not have played polo for a long time, so why don't we all go to relax today?" ”

Lishu was naturally very good at riding horses in her previous life, but she didn't have many opportunities to ride horses in this life, but she knew that the crown princess said this to the wives of the martial artists present, and lo and behold, Lizhen was also eager to try.

But if you can run a horse today, you can also relax, and it just so happens that Wang also looked at Lishu: "Mrs. Zheng, you must come, you are from a family, this polo is my favorite woman in Beijing, they all say that you are a hero in the fat powder pile, now you have to try it." ”

Lishu had no choice but to respond, but her left eyelid jumped. ：，，
