"The journey was fine. I didn't feel too cold in the carriage." An Hongshao replied with a smile.
An Hongshao often heard from Mrs. Li that her second aunt was very powerful. She saw that Li Yuyin spoke crisply and neatly. Even though she grew up in the countryside, she behaved in an elegant manner and spoke in Mandarin.
Although An Hongshao didn't feel that she was any shorter when she stood next to Li Yuyin, she had lived two lifetimes and stayed in the Lian family for five years. Unlike Li Yuyin, who only returned to the capital for a few months.
"My face changed, and I said I wasn't cold. My aunt and cousin hurriedly entered the house." Li Haoxun spoke bluntly and stretched out his hand.
Li Haoxun is not very tall, and his body is slightly fat. He does not look like he is idle, nor is he full of flesh. Instead, he looks very strong, giving people the impression that he is capable of both literary and martial arts. a feeling of.
When you see Li Haoxun, you will feel that there is a successor to the Li family.
Mrs. Li smiled and said "Hello" and led the juniors in together. The first four sisters-in-law in the room were already waiting. Mrs. Li led An Hongshao over to see the gift.
"Wake up quickly." Second Aunt Qiao quickly held Mrs. Li's hand, "Father still keeps saying, why don't you come and sit here often?"
"This is not a matter of having a puddle at home. If I have the ability of my second sister-in-law, I can come over whenever I want." Ms. Li replied with a smile, took off her robe, and she was wearing a pure red dress. It's where it should be.
I was restrained in the yard just now. When I got to the house, I took a look at the fine porcelain and expensive calligraphy and paintings. Although there was elegance everywhere, which part of this elegance was not priceless?
The Imperial Master's Mansion should probably have this kind of grandeur. But it's a pity that they are all gifts from the emperor and can only be displayed outside to prop up the appearance.
"You have an unforgiving mouth." Mrs. Qiao smiled helplessly, but even if Mrs. Li was unforgiving, she would not be left behind either. After chatting with Mr. Li for a few words, he pulled An Hongshao to sit down in front of him, "Hongshao looks very much like you, a perfect beauty."
An Hongshao lowered his head in embarrassment.
"Yes, yes, every time I see Hong Shao, I feel a little dazed. I feel like I saw Qian Ran in the boudoir." My aunt, Weng, was honest and kind when she was young, but now she has been devolved for so many years. , suffered so much, she behaved like a peasant woman, and her eyebrows were low and her eyes were low, unlike that of an ordinary lady.
Therefore, the power of running the family naturally fell into the hands of Mr. Qiao.
There were guests at home, and it was mainly Mr. Qiao who received them. Now that he was free, Mr. Weng also intervened.
It's just that she's really not one to talk, so the scene that was originally peaceful suddenly turned cold. Mrs. Qiao sighed beside her, "These are good days now, and we just hope that our children will be well."
Mrs. Li smiled and nodded, and the atmosphere finally relaxed again.
Weng also realized that what she said was wrong. When she mentioned what happened in Li's boudoir, she couldn't let Li think about how she ended up in the An family as a concubine. Weng said the wrong thing and simply lowered his head again and remained silent.
Both of Weng's daughters were married, so naturally no junior came forward to comfort Weng at this time.
When there are more people in the family, this kind of thing is inevitable.
"Of course that's good. Look at the clothes her aunt and Hongshao wear. They're not cheap, right? I can't bear to wear something like this." The third aunt, Yang, and the fourth aunt, Xu, were both villagers' daughters who married when they were decentralized. , I haven’t met Mr. Li very often, so naturally they don’t know anything about what happened when they were young.
It's just that the Yang family has a strong sense of power and always talks about money. In the past, the third uncle was able to make do with a woman like this when he was in Pingyang. Now that he has returned to the capital, the third aunt really can't afford it. quarrel.
It was Taifu Li who suppressed her, saying that the Li family could not afford to have such a man who would abandon his wife after becoming rich.
Mrs. Li smiled lightly and said, "There are few people in our family who spend money. We buy whatever we like."
She didn't respect this third sister-in-law that much.
Mrs. Yang clicked her tongue twice, "Then there must be few people spending money. His uncle left early and only left you the family property, but he didn't even eat a bite of your family's food. Hongshao got such a good marriage again, and went to You must not give money to your mother's family."
Born in the market place, he always talks about money and money.
An Hongshao frowned when she heard that. She was not really close to the Li family in her previous life, mainly because someone in the Li family kept talking about how she got her good marriage. However, she didn't want to marry Lian Ruzhi, she just felt that Full of grievance.
"Third aunt is so short of money? She is waiting for her two cousins to make a living. Not to mention the money, Mrs. Gaoming may let third aunt take the blame." An Hongshao immediately protected Mrs. Li.
She had given birth to two sons herself. She envied other people's children, so it was better to keep an eye on her own.
"Okay, mother, please stop saying a few words." Fourth cousin Li Shaoqiang glared at his mother at this time.
An Hongshao glanced at Li Shaoqiang without saying anything, and she didn't feel that he was seeking justice. As soon as Yang opened her mouth just now, he should have known what his mother would say.
I didn't stop her at first because I didn't think my mother would suffer. But now I see that neither Li nor An Hongshao is easy to mess with. He was afraid that his mother would suffer if there was a quarrel, so she came forward to persuade her.
It's a pity that Yang didn't understand her son's worries, so she sneered a few times and said, "Look, the people with the surname Li are from the same family. They just bullied me, a person with a foreign surname, and that was enough in the past. Now, with the addition of someone with the surname An, All of them are going to sit on my head."
Everyone felt a headache when they heard Yang making such a noise. Even Li Shaoqiang felt that his mother was embarrassed.
"What did her third aunt say? How can she call you bullying? Your monthly salary is less? Because you have two sons in the courtyard, and you get more money than any other in the four houses. If you feel aggrieved, report it to you. Father-in-law, when it’s time to separate the family, we will separate the family and live in another life. When the time comes, you, the mistress of the house, have the final say in your yard. You can buy whatever you want with the money your man earns. That is, you bought the Night Pearl as a photo. Liang, Shu brocade makes the bed, Su embroidery makes the clothes, Fu Guang brocade makes the shoes, no one cares about you!" Mrs. Qiao only felt a pain in her head. Mrs. Li always said that she was powerful, but this also opened An Hongshao's eyes.
This is not scolding a sister-in-law. What is the difference between scolding one's own daughter?
And he did it in front of the juniors here, not caring about anyone’s face.
And when Mrs. Qiao came forward, Mrs. Yang remained silent and did not dare to say anything.
The two sons of Sanfang were sitting here, and no one dared to say anything for their mother.
They have been together in the countryside for many years, and they know each other's nature, which shows that Mrs. Qiao is usually a powerful person.
After all, Ms. Qiao was lecturing someone, and her face didn't look good either. She calmed down for a moment before continuing to chat with Ms. Li.
The two of them were talking and laughing as if nothing happened just now.
