While Zhu Ping'an was listening to the naughty child showing off his fat face and saying that the turtle is thin, the second lady's boudoir in the backyard of the Hou Mansion was full of orioles and colorful flowers. Li Shu and several young ladies who had not left the palace were inviting the old lady. After An, they got together and talked about some topics about their daughter's family.
Most of the topics were about how prominent their husband's family background was, how big an official his father was in the court, and how much power he held, and then they talked overtly and covertly about how Li Shu's husband was just a They were from a farmer's family and had no power. They finally got a bad number in the civil examination. At the end, they pretended to comfort Li Shu, saying that Zhu Ping'an was unlucky and got a bad number this time. Maybe next time If there is a chance, it doesn't matter even if they don't pass the exam. They also say that their husbands and sons-in-law will be asked to help with activities and help Zhu Ping'an fill the gap.
Anyway, the main goal is to compare with the future husband and then find some sense of accomplishment from Li Shu.
Li Shu was very disdainful of the behavior of her sisters. Her daughter's family married her husband, not her husband's father. What's the use of her future husband? Does it mean that your future happiness will depend on your husband? Give it! Talk about your future married life, don’t talk about your husband-in-law, what are you doing around your future husband-in-law!
Li Shu's disdain, in the eyes of the sisters, was that she was compared with them, and she felt disappointed.
So they chatted more happily.
Then they talked about the marriage of the eldest daughter of the Hou family, their eldest sister. The eldest daughter of the Hou family was the apple of the second master's family. She just got married last year, to the eldest son of the founding father. He looked envious, and then comforted Li Shu with a tone of regret.
As we continued chatting, we started talking about rouge, gouache, and hair soap. These were the topics in the girls’ boudoir, including makeup, beauty, clothes, accessories, and fantasizing about a better life in the future. Maybe there were also some gossips and rumors. They don't go out much, so they don't have much to talk about.
How is your marriage? Family status is important, but the most important thing is the person. If you don’t understand your husband, how can you still hope for a happy marriage in the future? What a bunch of wretches. Shampoo with soap locust. No matter how beautiful your hair is, don’t think that just having sex will make your husband and wife inseparable. If your husband is not good, you will only be entangled in them.
Haven't you heard of the legend from that ancient era? Lin Jun, the leader of the Ba people, led his fleet to march west along the Qing River. He fell in love with the beautiful Salt Water Goddess in the salt pond. Lin Jun gave a lock of his hair to the goddess and said: "Tie it, I will live and die with you." But Lin Jun did not want to stop the pace of the Western Expedition, and the goddess Reluctantly, Lin turned into a flying insect and blocked his way to keep him. Lin Jun shot the goddess to death with an arrow on the Yangshi. When the goddess died, the hair he gave her was still wrapped around her neck...
You don’t know if your husband-in-law will be Linjun in the future, but I know that that stinky toad will definitely not be.
When I first came to my concubine's hair, there was a drama in front of the door. Lang came riding a bamboo horse and went around the bed to make green plums. Having been friends and childhood sweethearts for so many years, I understand that stinky toad very well.
Li Shu looked at her sisters with disdain.
After coming out of Miss Hou Fu'er's boudoir, Li Shu told the little maid Baozi who was accompanying her to pack a few red envelopes and send a message to the inn where Zhu Ping'an stayed and tell the shopkeeper. There are also store clerks, if anyone goes to the inn to find Zhu Pingan. Let them come to the Hou Mansion, including announcing the good news.
The Marquis Mansion also needs happy events, doesn't it?
Li Shu curled her lips, and surrounded by the old lady and the little maid, she returned to the courtyard where she lived. She lay lazily on the embroidered bed, took out a volume of books that she had casually placed under her pillow last night, and looked at the book. The font left by the smelly toad was on the screen, and the corners of his mouth curved.
"Okay, I'm tired and want to take a rest. You all can go down."
Li Shu put down the book, glanced around the maids waiting in the room, and waved her hand with a tired expression.
"Yes, miss."
The maids and old ladies serving in the room all responded. The little maid who finally left also closed the door thoughtfully to prevent any noise outside from disturbing the young lady's rest.
After Li Shu heard the footsteps outside, she put on a fox fur cloak, lifted the silk quilt, and got out of bed with a book in hand.
Arriving at the desk, Li Shu placed the volume with the word "stinky toad" on it. Then another piece of pink paper was laid out. She took a brush with her slender hand, dipped the tip of the pen in the ink, studied the writing on the book for a moment, and then started writing.
"Li Shu, my heart is full of joy for you, but I only wish that: I can have a broad agreement between life and death, and I can talk to you; I can hold your hand and grow old together with you."
The signature is "Xiahe Zhu Ping'an".
If Li Shu was not holding a brush, but looking at the font, the words on this pink paper were exactly the same as the fonts in the book Li Shu placed on the desk. It really looked like it was written by Zhu Pingan.
After Li Shu finished writing and waited for the ink to dry, she sandwiched the pink paper in the book like a thief. Then, holding the book in her slender hand, she walked quickly on tiptoes to the embroidery bed and placed the book under the pillow. He lay half-lying on the embroidery bed again.
a few seconds later
Still in this room
On the embroidered couch, a beautiful lady was lying half-ly. A wild goose hairpin with gold dots and emerald inlaid with pearls was stuck on her temples. The half-undressed cloud servant girl was flying lazily like a crow's wings, as if she had just woken up, slender and delicate. Jade Hand took out a book from under the pillow and opened it gently.
Then, a piece of pink paper accidentally fell inside.
Yuren'er's little mouth frowned slightly, as if she was a little surprised when she saw this kind of pink paper for the first time. She picked up the pink paper, opened it, and read the contents inside: Li Shu, I am pleased with you. , my only wish is: to have a broad agreement between life and death, to be able to talk to my son; to hold my son’s hand, and to grow old together with my son. ——Xiahe Zhu Ping'an.
"OK."
The beauty's starry eyes were flowing, her smile was as bright as a flower, and she was full of charm. Her lips were slightly opened and she spoke two words briskly.
Then a person held an embroidered pillow and had fun for a long time.
"Stinky toad, I'm going to stew you and eat you."
After a long time, the beauty muttered something and reluctantly threw the pink paper into the brazier on the side.
Not long after Yu Rener burned the pink paper, there was a sound of brisk footsteps outside.
"Miss, I'm back."
The next second, the voice of the little maid Baozi sounded at the door, and then the voice of the little maid at the door blocking her, as if she was telling the little maid Baozi that the lady was sleeping, etc. Soon, the voice of the little maid Baozi sounded regretful, I regret that I was so loud just now. It would be bad if it disturbed the lady's rest.
"Come in."
The beauty in the room looked at the pink paper in the brazier that had turned to ashes, then she opened her red lips and called out softly to the door. (To be continued.)
