The night was cold, and when she was old, Liwan couldn't sleep.

Yesterday, the third sister was crowned the county lord, and she felt more and more envious and even jealous when she thought about that scene, but these were also things she couldn't be jealous of.

People are born with a good life, and I think she Liwan has decided on the family business of the Zeng family early because of the second line in her life. It's just that the heirs are not angry, the husband is distracted, and her son is not as good as a little mother.

Her third sister is only in her thirties this year, the eldest son is a Xiucai, and will participate in the township examination next year, the second son is the eldest prince's companion, and her husband has entered the cabinet again.

But that's okay, now that she has this girl, she has something to rely on.

"How is Brother Ding'er studying in Yangzhou? ()" Liwan asked the housekeeper lady beside her, this is also her former dowry maid Yuming.

Yu Ming said: What else, naturally it is very good. There is his grandfather's house, and you also know that the Yan family may not be interested in Aunt Yan, but they are very attentive to Young Master Ding. [(()”

Liwan sneered coldly: "It's not under the guise of my Liu family, the Zeng family has been down-and-out over the years, the eldest uncle Zhishi, we have been in business in the second room, and the little uncle in the third room has also gone." He is also in a place like Yangzhou, full of money, our Jinghu Liu family, first there is a mother, my brother Shurui is Hanlin Academy, the fourth brother Shulin is Jinyiwei, and there is a mother in our family in the palace. Otherwise, he is a concubine, how can he be decent? ”

Yu Ming laughed: "Why not." After saying that, she turned the bracelet in her hand again, and the Yan family sent her a lot of good things, although Yuming accepted it, she may not help to say good things.

Therefore, she also said: "He thinks he is Cen Shiyan." ”

Liwan was even more disdainful: "Cen Shiyan still has a conscience, does he have that rabbit cub?" Moreover, Cen Shifang of the Guangyang Hou Mansion is at least a talent, but unfortunately my brother Xin is not as good. ”

Thinking of this, Liwan was bitter again.

Yu Ming sighed, no matter what, Li Wan is very good to her, the person around her. Therefore, although Yuming also accepts the Yan family's money, her heart is still towards Liwan, which means that Lijia is not as much as Liwan.

A few years ago, Baozhu opened his face and made a room, although he did not have a son and a half daughter, but he was also well treated, and he was also very loyal to Liwan.

"Madam, no matter what, your accumulation of virtue and good deeds over the years is also obvious to all." Yuming put on a dress for Liwan.

Liwan waved her hand, and said in her heart that although she seemed to be kind and kind over the years, Xiao Fu and Lishu were such shrewd people. Back then, in order to find a good family affair for her brother, she did not hesitate to expose her family ugliness, and asked the Liu family to agree to marry Zeng Yingxiu.

What's more, she is not Xiao Fu's biological daughter, although she is close to her on weekdays, she may not be really close. People just don't want to worry about her more! After all, Lishu, the daughter of Xiao Fu's in-laws, has what she wants.

She didn't sleep well this night, and when she got up in the morning, her daughter Sister Xian came in with a bouquet of red plums, and her little face ran red.

Seeing her daughter, Liwan was in a good mood: "Why did you come here so early, I came back from your aunt yesterday, I saw that you were sleeping deeply, and I only let my mother-in-law carry you on my back, and I didn't wake you up, who would have thought that you came over so early." ”

"Mother, I didn't think about it

() Did you come to your place earlier to say hello? Sister Xian grinned.

"Little grease mouth, you miss the pair of jade inlaid jewels that your third aunt gave you, right? Don't worry, I'll keep it for you. Your third aunt has always been very generous, and she has no daughter, but she has let you get naked. Liwan smiled.

was seen through her thoughts, Sister Xian was not shy, but said: "The third aunt is now the county lord, it is said that it is because of the third aunt's husband. ”

Liwan nodded: "That's right, yes, your brother has to persuade him too." He can't be stuck on the wall, and if he's as good at reading as you are, I won't have the heart to it. ”

Of course, Sister Xian knows her own situation, her father is in business, although he donated an official, but he spent 200,000 taels to serve the court, and this amount of silver is not a small amount, but this is not a long-term solution.

is like an uncle-in-law who was born in the Jiake, a child of a family, and is also very good at being an official, and now he is in the cabinet, and he is a very popular minister, which is not something that those officials can do. Therefore, my father attaches great importance to my cousin who can read, but her biological brother Xin Ge'er is not bad, but Zhi Dacai is very much like his uncle.

It's just not as good as Uncle Liu's life, at least my grandfather has always been a high-ranking official, my uncle is a well-known Yanei in Beijing, and his wife is also the daughter of the Shangshu of the Zeng family's Ministry of Industry.

Sister Xian heard her mother say this, so she had to say: "You love my brother too much on weekdays, how can you not study hard, how can you read good books without hard work?" If you really want him to be good at reading, the first thing is to restrain him. ”

"Go, you're still to blame me. Look at your cousin Zheng, when people are studying, there is no such thing, people are willing to study. Not everyone in the world can read, and this thing needs talent. Liwan unconsciously defended herself.

Sister Xian'er remembered that Zheng's cousin's face was slightly red, but she knew that it was absolutely impossible for her and her cousin, although they were aunts and cousins, but the Zeng family was lonely now, and it was no longer the time when the Zeng family was stronger than the Liu family, she was the same as her mother, and she knew the current affairs very well.

But she turned to say: "Mother, it's my grandfather's 60th birthday soon, and I'm afraid my eldest brother is also going to Beijing to celebrate, because this time happens to be Aunt Yan's death day." ”

"Look, he wants to deal with me and overpower my brother Xin, but your father is embarrassed to let him go to pay his birthday to my father." Liwan was murderous to Aunt Yan at the beginning, and it was also because Zeng Yunxi saw that if Aunt Yan gave birth to a child, what would make the Liu family feel that this person would definitely not be able to stay.

Later, Liwan regretted very much that because of her temporary kindness, she let the child stay, and the Zeng family's property was to be given to him half of it, not to mention, in the future, she and her son were very likely to live by looking at his face, and even their Liu family would use him.

Why?

Liwan pondered for a moment: "Your grandfather's birthday gift, you also have to do some needlework and send it, don't be sloppy." ”

Sister Xian knew that her mother didn't want to continue, her mother had always regarded her mother's family as noble, and because of her mother's relationship, she could still walk among everyone.

A few days later, Zeng Ding came back from outside, at this time he was already a half-grown teenager, with the fame of Maocai, wearing a simple shirt, looking quite handsome.

Zeng Yunxi looked at his eldest son like this, and a sense of pride arose spontaneously, and patted him on the shoulder.

Zeng Ding is also quite good at being a person: "When I came back from Yangzhou this time, I brought a lot of good tobacco and smoked it for my father." ”

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Zeng Yunxi was very happy

。

Li Wan lowered her eyes for a moment before putting on her kind smile to Zeng Ding: "Brother Ding is back, and he has already cleaned up your yard, and your father and I remember you." I asked someone to set up a table in the Linshui Pavilion to catch the wind for you. ”

Zeng Ding arched his hand: "My son thanked his wife." ”

Liwan pulled him beside him again and asked if Yangzhou and Shangjing were used to it, and Zeng was respectful, but in fact it was not. When he was a child, he once thought that Liwan was his mother, so he was very close to her.

Later, it was Jin Ying who found him and told him the truth. On weekdays, his father sent him to Yangzhou to study, and the young girl who appeared next to him didn't like to take him to Liu's house with his mother-in-law, everything was a clue.

In this Zeng family, every step is actually walking on thin ice, and the reason why he has lived until now is because his father protects him. Although Jin Ying said that his father was actually one of the executioners, Aunt Yan was deceived back then, and originally thought that she was a wife, but who knew that Zeng Yunxi had already married a wife.

This Liu's wrist is extremely powerful, his father was the governor of Zhili, the head of the household, although the two brothers are young, but they are also rising stars, including her sisters, there are Mrs. Gefu, Mrs. Hou, and even Mrs. Wang, as well as sisters who are concubines in the palace. With such an identity, it is no wonder that my father is also jealous.

"Thank you, I let the cook cook everything you love." Liwan smiled.

At this dinner, Zeng Yunxi saw that the atmosphere was harmonious, and couldn't help but say: "Lao Taishan's 60th birthday, it just so happens that Brother Ding'er has also returned, and Lao Taishan has always had a reputation in officialdom for promoting younger generations." Let's Ding Ge'er and Brother Xin, if they can get a word of praise from his grandfather, it will also benefit immensely. ”

Brother Xin is still young, and his knowledge is not very good, every time Liwan goes back to her parents' house, she will let Brother Xin show up at her father's house, but it's a pity that Liu Chengxu is a frank person.

If Dad really likes Zeng Ding, it will be difficult to do.

Li Wan then smiled and said: "I also have this intention, it just so happens that Brother Ding'er can meet with a few of your cousins, you have been in Yangzhou for a long time, and you have less contact with them on weekdays, and now is the time to get close." ”

Seeing that Liwan agreed, Zeng Yunxi was very happy, and of course Zeng Ding wanted to do the same.

He actually disdains the Liu family, but it's good to be able to block his mother-in-law, and besides, he glanced at Brother Xin, things in this world are really fair.

For example, Liu's Jiji camp, but his son is very mediocre, his aunt died early, but he inherited his aunt's intelligence. For example, when doing business, reading and literacy, they are faster than ordinary children.

"Thank you mother for mentioning it, my son also happened to prepare a birthday gift in Yangzhou, so that he could dedicate it to the second master Liu." Zeng Ding is also a self-respecting person, of course he can see that Liu's smile is very reluctant, and it is his father who wants to carry him, but the grandfather in his mind is only Mrs. Yan, not the second master Liu.

No matter how high his official position is, raising such a daughter of a rich wolf, tiger and leopard is enough to see how the Liu family's tutor is.

When the eunuchs in the palace attached to the Liu family were demoted, the Liu family was not as good as the Zeng family, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, the Liu family would not always be so prosperous, wait and see!!
