Mrs. Fu didn't care much about Aunt Su and Aunt Ding. Aunt Su was from a humble background and she was nothing more than an aunt. Aunt Ding has a dull temperament. Although she loves her husband, she is not favored by him.
She was never jealous of these two, and even felt that since they were both women, she, as a lady, loved them more.
Because concubines cannot go out and socialize at will, their status is not high, and even their husbands treat them casually and don't really take them seriously. This is also a woman's tragedy.
But little Fu was extraordinarily different. She was married to a matchmaker. That day, when she came back with a pair of children after a very difficult journey, she saw Liu Chengxu and little Fu, who were deeply in love. He put his arms around her and worked together to catch his beloved daughter. Zhou, the two looked at each other and smiled, full of affection.
At that time, she was really disheartened and came back after all the hardships, but her husband changed his mind and decided to marry his sister.
Fortunately, when he saw her for the first time, her husband pushed away Mrs. Fu, and Mrs. Fu also lived in seclusion from then on, never causing trouble or competing for favor. She even asked her husband for his opinion when socializing with her husband. Fu also declined.
The relationship between the three of them has been like this for so many years, and Mrs. Fu has almost forgotten about little Mrs. Fu. How did she know that she would come to visit today.
Li Shu came in with her mother. She met many people in her previous life that she had gradually forgotten. At this time, her father was not as old as the Liu Shangshu she had seen. He was an old man. He was in his prime at this time. He is young, powerful and majestic.
Outsiders say that Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Fu are very similar, but in fact they are completely different. Mrs. Fu has fair skin, a tall and plump figure but not fat. Her round face looks like a glutinous rice dumpling and she looks very blessed. She also has a pair of dimples when she smiles. , looks bright and lively. Little Fu's appearance is more delicate and graceful, with a pink face and peach blossoms, a pitiful appearance, and a soft and waxy voice, making her appear more gentle and peaceful.
Li Shu knew that the reason for the difference between the two was that Mrs. Fu was the darling of the Fu family. When she was young, she had a lively temperament and was confident in everything she did. She knew how to be a wife. However, her father's current career was not going well, so she strived to be simple. . And his mother was originally a concubine and was humble at home. After she got married, she was scolded by her father for renewing her status. The two finally became inseparable, and Mrs. Fu came back from the dead. Her mother was a weak person on the outside and stubborn on the inside. Being looked down upon by others, I am overly cautious in everything I do.
If it wasn't for herself, she would be doing what she said now.
When Liu Chengxu met Xiao Fu for the first time, even though he was very resistant to her, he still felt that she was astonishingly beautiful as "a bird is frightened by an usnea, and a fish is afraid of a lotus." Now she is wearing a milky white gauze dress, and her figure is charming and charming. Not to mention Liu Chengxu, everyone in the big house who has not seen little Fu for a long time thinks that she is "funny and charming".
"Master, sister." Little Fu smiled lightly.
Madam Fu reacted quickly and couldn't help but ask: "Come on, I've asked Yuping to set out the bowls and chopsticks. Just sit down and eat with Sister Shu? Tell me what you have to say slowly."
She looked extremely sincere, and Little Fu was also grateful and said: "Thank you sister for your kindness, but Sister Shu and I ate too much snacks in the afternoon, so we were not hungry anymore. I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, and Sister Shu has this problem on her neck." There are prickly heat rashes and the ice has not been delivered for a while. I am always worried that she will not sleep well at night. So I want to see if my sister can..."
She said it very humbly. When everyone saw the prickly heat on Li Shu's neck, they looked horrified.
This is certainly not what Mrs. Fu meant. It is really not easy for Mrs. Fu to be the head of a family. Of course the Liu family in Macheng is from the Jinghu Ding clan, but her husband is a seventh-grade official. The expenditure was four to five hundred taels, but Liu Chengxu had a reputation for not being greedy for pennies, so the family had no choice but to reduce expenses.
Not to mention little Fu, she herself lived frugally.
Yuping and Yulan, who were standing at the door, looked at each other and felt deeply that Mr. Fu did it on purpose. He wanted to criticize the eldest lady in front of the master, and the method was too clumsy.
After hearing this, Mrs. Fu immediately said: "It's my fault. These days of drought, I asked them to buy ice earlier, otherwise it will be easily robbed by others. In this case, first buy the ice here." Get a basin. If Lishu is like this now, ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine and apply it."
Mrs. Fu's words and deeds were very consistent with the status of a lady. Little Mrs. Fu was not looking for trouble with Mrs. Fu. She immediately said: "In that case, I'm relieved. As for the medicine, I don't need it. I still have prickly heat powder." , I have been applying it on her these past few days."
"Lishu, I haven't thanked you yet." Little Fu looked at Lishu.
Li Shu quickly said sweetly: "Thank you, ma'am."
Mrs. Fu always felt a little uneasy, but when she saw little Mrs. Fu and Li Shu acting like this, she felt sympathy again. But when she saw little Mrs. Fu took the child and left after saying that, she felt a little relieved.
Therefore, he said to Liu Chengxu: "Sir, I see that Li Shu has a lot of prickly heat, and it is sunny in the west. How about sending two basins of ice over?"
Liu Chengxu said "Huh" and didn't seem to care.
Someone screamed in surprise outside the door, and then a girl cried: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Mom..."
Before Mrs. Fu could react, she saw Liu Chengxu rushing out like an arrow. Li Shu looked at her mother who had fainted, her face flushed, she vaguely guessed the truth, but she was still shocked.
When Lishu came to her senses, she saw her father nervously surrounding her mother, shouting: "Qiujun, Qiujun..."
Liu Chengxu originally came from a well-educated family and knew some medical skills, but when he saw that Mr. Fu's face was red and his Qi was not flowing smoothly, he was in a state of confusion, and Chang An, the servant boy, had to remind him that he might have heatstroke.
Liu Chengxu picked up little Mrs. Fu and rushed to the west courtyard. After putting her on the bed, he first opened her collar and said anxiously to Dan Hong, "Hurry up and find Chang An to get Huoxiang Zhengqi Powder."
This Huoxiang Zhengqi Powder is from "Taiping Huimin Hejiju Prescription". It is most suitable for cold and dampness in summer, as well as disharmony of the spleen and stomach. It is also suitable for treating heatstroke.
On the other side, Mrs. Fu saw Liu Chengxu going out and carrying little Mrs. Fu away. Yuping and others quickly said: "Madam, come with me quickly and take a look? Just ask the master to move the second lady into a side room. Why go to the west courtyard?"
Mrs. Fu looked at Yuping: "Did you not give the second lady ice today?"
Yu Ping stamped her feet, not feeling that she had done anything wrong: "A total of ten basins of ice every day, our eldest young master studied hard and sweated, and he is a slave..." She wanted to say that this kind of thing is not uncommon, little Fu He was not a good person. He seduced the master during his period of filial piety, and the two of them achieved good things.
Even in the Fu family, everyone knew the status of the little Fu family. A concubine with a high heart and high arrogance married into the Liu family. Her mother-in-law was in charge of the courtyard for the Fu family, but she was taken over by the little Fu family. They made a plan and sent it to Zhuangzi, and even changed the place where Fu used to live beyond recognition.
How could such a person succeed her? I'm a villain, bah.
Mrs. Fu was so angry that she fell back and said, "Hurry up and send two basins of ice over."
For some reason, Mrs. Fu felt vaguely uneasy. She always thought that Liu Chengxu was the most special to her, but she didn't expect that her sister fainted and her husband reacted so violently.
Therefore, as a eldest lady, she should have gone there, but now she hesitated...
Don't even dare to face it.
Does the husband really have a sister in his heart and she is no longer the only one?
