182 Liwan's Extras (2)
On the day of Liu Chengxu's birthday, the Liu family was full of guests, and there was a lot of traffic outside the door. Zeng Yunxi looked at the neatly packed family, and felt a lot of relief in his heart, and Liwan sneered in her heart as she watched from the side.
Liwan and her husband have always been the first to come over, she first brought her daughter Sister Xian to Xiao Fu's here, and it happened that Zeng Yingxiu was beside her, Zeng Yingxiu liked Sister Xian very much, in the end, she was her niece, and she also said a lot of good things.
But seeing that Liwan was absent-minded, Zeng Yingxiu asked, "Second sister, what's wrong?" ”
"What else, it's not the one who came back, our lord is very happy, I have to bring him to see my father." Liwan didn't have a good airway.
Zeng Yingxiu is also a member of the Zeng family, so she is naturally happy to see the Zeng family produce the seeds of reading again, and she can also guess some of Liwan's methods, and persuade her: "In short, his biological mother is deceased, and he is out of business, and it is not for you to please him." ”
Liwan thought to herself that you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, the Liu family is a family of rules, Zeng Yingxiu's twin sons are much stronger than the concubines, but Zeng Yingxiu thinks that the four sons in the second room of the Liu family are all equally divided among the family property, even if Shurui Shulin is a descendant, they all rely on themselves to have today's achievements.
In this case, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, Liwan never shows her heart on weekdays, but today she was angry, so she confided the truth, and she regretted it a little, so she simply didn't say anything.
said that at this time, Lishu arrived, and she was named the county lord, and her identity is different from that of the sisters in the family, and even Lizhen has to salute. But Lishu almost didn't put on a show: "Don't be polite, it's all a family, how it was before, how it should be now." ”
Xiao Fu saw his daughter, of course he was very happy, Lishu didn't have a daughter, she brought Brother Qi and Brother Shu together, both brothers were new clothes, and they looked very energetic.
From time to time, my father also came over, and a whole family gathered here.
Li Wan saw that Zeng Ding was also coming, in a large group of people, especially when standing beside Zheng Jiaqi and Zheng Jiashu, there was no comparison at all, not to mention the young officials like Shurui and Shulin, and even Wu Shen'an of the Wu family was more gentle than him.
"Dad, this is a gift from me and Liwan." Zeng Yunxi obediently presented a nanmu cane.
It's decent to give crutches to older people.
In addition, there are longevity noodles, all kinds of dim sum, jade ruyi, etc., highlighting the wealth of the Zeng family.
Liwan followed Zeng Yunxi and the children to kneel on the futon and kowtow to her father, and her father was obviously very happy: "Get up, get up, and sit aside." ”
Of course, Zeng Ding also kowtowed with his father, he always thought that he was the Zeng family's reading seed, and he couldn't help but be a little proud, but today the Liu family is full of people, and the best makes him feel like a frog at the bottom of a well.
In the past, he only knew that his grandfather's family was rich, and those officials were all high, but they were actually very poor, and they didn't want to look at money. Even if it is his mother-in-law, if he doesn't like him, it's for money.
Now when I come to the Liu family, I know what it means to be powerful, such as his fourth aunt-in-law who is a petty official, his family is a big landowner in Fujian, and he holds a lot of shops in his hands. There is also the third aunt Zheng Hao, who is very young, but his bearing is extraordinary, although he listened to his father nod and introduce himself, he was noncommittal.
Now he seems to really realize the status of the Zeng family, and his father is actually really protecting him to some extent.
beautiful
Wan saw this scene and put her mind at ease, but soon Liu Chengxu smiled and said: "There are a lot of grandsons here today, all of them are scholars, so let's have a literary fight, how about it?" ”
Zeng fixed his eyes on the Zheng family brothers, these two brothers can be regarded as the Yanei in the Yanei, although they are not presumptuous, they are easy to show themselves, but they can see that they are calm and relaxed, and they are not afraid at all.
I heard that when Zheng's cousin was young, it was Liu Chengxu who was enlightened, and his father wanted to send him over, but unfortunately Liu Chengxu was already released at that time.
can be imagined, he is not the real great-grandson of the Liu family, but he doesn't have to be naked.
Liu Chengxu studied the method of solving the problem, he used to think that he was smart, but he never thought that Zheng Jiaqi was faster to react, he had a clear mind, humble behavior, quick speech, and he had a sense of hope.
His younger brother Zheng Jiashu is not as quick as Zheng Jiaqi, but often after his brother says it, he can say it immediately after he says it, and he has a lot of knowledge, and Liu Chengxu is also full of praise for this.
Even the twins of the Liu family's uncle stood up and tried to say a thing or two, and everyone seemed to be not inferior.
Zeng Ding finally realized the reality, and even his so-called role model Cen Shiyan said that he had to perform the disciple ceremony in front of Zheng Xiang, and he had to be respectful.
How terrible is power......
This birthday banquet made Zeng Ding depressed for a long time, and Liwan also tried to find a daughter-in-law from an official family for him on the surface, but in fact, it was gold and jade on the outside and chaff on the inside.
It's just that Zeng Ding's marriage is really only her to worry about, Zeng Yunxi is indeed a little uneasy, but after hearing that the bride's uncle is Gongbu Langzhong, he is very willing.
When the bride got married, the thirty-six dowries were not enough, and she couldn't even put a yard. is known as a scholarly family, but he is poor and sour, has no knowledge, and the housekeeper is very bad.
Zeng Ding knew that Liwan had bad intentions, and he didn't like this wife either, even to the point that he was annoyed when this woman spoke.
When Liwan heard it, she was very happy, and she said to Sister Xian: "Speaking of which, your sister-in-law is not so bad, but he is the same as his mother, self-righteous." A concubine who donates to an official, is it possible that he still wants to marry a girl from a wealthy family? ”
Sister Xian'er was worried: "Mother, aren't you so feuding?" I don't think the eldest brother is satisfied with the sister-in-law. ”
"What do I do to satisfy him, who does he think he is? If you think about it, your relatives are all married to your cousin, who is the second son of your uncle. Your eldest uncle is still white, but your grandfather is now a big official, and it took a lot of effort for me to stuff you in. Liwan said to her daughter.
Sister Xian naturally knew that her mother was thinking about her, the wealth of the Liu family could be preserved for at least several generations, and it was absolutely impossible for her to marry into the Zheng family, and her mother did not think about this, but it was still okay to marry into her grandfather's family.
So, she said, "Mother, I know everything." ”
Liwan nodded: "This normal Jinshi is also in his twenties, which is already quite young, as for your father's body in the past few years, and he likes women, I don't think he will be able to wait for your eldest brother to reach the first." Moreover, your eldest brother is not as knowledgeable as your eldest cousin of the Zheng family, and the Zheng family is not as picky and crazy as him. ”
Without the help of his wife, what is he? is Cen Shiyan, if he hadn't climbed to the Zheng family, he would have been released to a remote place for the rest of his life.
Sister Xian always felt a little uneasy when she saw that his mother was so clear.
Liwan doesn't care about anything at all now, what she wants is Zeng Yunxi to prop up the door outside, now that her son has not grown up, if a family man falls, the family will fall.
But she had to put up with that Zeng Yunxi, the only thing she could do was to slowly ruin his future, she had already given up, because she knew very well that Zeng Ding was also thinking of all ways to deal with her.
If you don't deal with it while he is fledgling, will you have to wait for him and Cen Shiyan to deal with it.
When Liwan was thinking about it, when she saw Lishu, she was still so good-looking and radiant, and even if she didn't put on a show, she was naturally condescending.
"Second sister."
She was very polite, and Liwan hurriedly said, "Third sister, don't dare." ”
Lishu said something to her: "Yesterday, the second brother-in-law went to our house and said that he asked our father to take care of Brother Ding and Brother Xin, and he seemed to be drunk. ”
Liwan knew that Lishu wouldn't tell lies, this must be true, but she really didn't have any thoughts for a moment, the third sister is the husband of the eldest prince, and the two sons teach well, so they don't have any worries at all, but what about her? It's really boring for an official's daughter to calculate and calculate all day long for yellow and white things.
When she wanted to say something more, Lishu smiled and said, "I'm going to practice calligraphy, and it just so happens that Brother Shu is practicing calligraphy with me today, so I can't delay here." ”
Liwan looked at the carriage in the dust, and then looked at herself, she always complained that her life was not good? But is that really the case? They didn't read books together, and they learned housekeeping from Xiao Fu's together, what is the difference?
If the third sister encounters a situation like her, what will she do?
For the first time, Liwan fell into deep thought.
Instead of harming others, you should raise yourself to the point where others are out of reach, and those you once wanted to deal with are long gone.
Li Wan looked at her son for the first time, he was very much like herself, and he was not close to the book when he saw it. But in terms of human sophistication, tactfulness, and exquisiteness, she has learned all the strengths of her and Zeng Yunxi.
"Son, haven't you always wanted to study? I promise you, it doesn't have to be time-consuming, but you have to start with a buddy. "Liwan loves her because she only has one son, but now she finds that she has been behind for a long time, and she is simply in a cold sweat.
Look at the son of his mother-in-law, Xiao Fu, Shulin couldn't study, so he went to take the martial arts exam and began to ask Mr. to teach him to practice.
Oh my God, what the hell has she been doing all these years.
Every day, she either stares at this or that, and consumes every day, so that her mother's family ignores her at all. So she can't say that she has suffering, others still think that she is leaning on the big tree of the Liu family, in fact, her family was really robbed of the family property by Zeng Ding, and the Liu family will not care as long as it is not too excessive.
Because she told the Zeng family about the scandal of the Fu family in Zeng Yingxiu's matter before, she wanted to kill two birds with one stone, but the result was that her mother's family was only superficially close, and the people in power ignored her.
The son thought that it would be best not to study, and agreed to start with the buddy, strange to say, he shouted that he was tired, but he kept working hard.
He doesn't like to read, but he reads enough books in his books, and he has a natural sense of what customers need when they enter the store, knows how to greet people, and knows how to shop around.
When Liwan heard this, she finally laughed, laughed and cried again!
