Originally, Xishun Hall was the place where Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu lived, but Mrs. Liu liked liveliness and Mr. Liu liked purity, so the couple lived separately.
Today, Xishun Hall is where my grandmother lives. It is located in the center of the Liu family. There are golden cages at the door filled with thrushes, parrots, and various birds. I didn’t have time to take a closer look, so I passed through a red sandalwood-edged five hundred Arhat screen with inlaid teeth. Walking through the main hall again, there are several maids specially opening bead curtains.
Li Shu thought it was unusual. It was commonplace in her previous life. Only Li Wan and Li Rou grew up in office and thought that the richest person in the Liu family was none other than the Fu family. But seeing this, she understood why their aunt worked so hard to survive. If you want to marry into the Liu family, you don't care even if you are a child.
In particular, Li Rou thought that her mother was also a daughter of an official family, but she was still a concubine. Now she understood all the things that she had not understood in her mind.
The Liu family is not only rich, but also rich to the heavens.
When Lishu and others entered the room, they saw that the servants had already laid out futons. Whether it was intentional or not, there was only one futon placed at the top instead of two placed side by side.
Which one of Niang and Fu will be in first place?
But now if Mrs. Fu is on the first futon, it goes without saying that from the moment I enter the house, my mother will fall behind. But if my mother grabs the first place, it will give people a feeling of being eager for quick success.
Obviously, Little Fu and Mrs. Fu did not expect this scene to occur. Little Fu also thought of this, and suddenly heard a child's voice saying: "Mother, my brother seems to have vomited milk."
Little Fu turned her head and saw Li Shu, who had a very anxious face.
She suddenly thought of something. Sure enough, at this moment, Mrs. Liu, who was sitting at the top, said: "What's wrong with fourth brother? Brother Xu's daughter-in-law, come to me and have a look. You are young. There is too much incense in my room." , afraid of boring the children."
For a moment, Mrs. Fu didn't even need to kowtow, she just hugged her brother Liu Shurui and sat next to Mrs. Liu.
In this way, Li Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and it was really a matter of urgency. Her brother's spitting up of milk was not caused by her, but because the child was weak and suddenly entered a crowded place where everyone was scented with hair oil and perfume, which would definitely make him uncomfortable.
She didn't have to think about it, she just said it directly, also to gain a place for her mother.
Then she looked up at Mrs. Liu. She was over fifty years old and well-maintained. Her hair was only a little gray and there were very few wrinkles. At this moment, she took Brother Rui and couldn't help but said: "I'm sorry, I've come all the way, but I can't bear it." Have you ever been sick?"
Little Fu smiled and said: "This child is in very good shape, but he got on the ship when he was only one month old and has never been to a crowded place. I'm afraid he is a little suffocated."
Mrs. Fu below had to lead everyone in saluting, and Mrs. Fu also quickly knelt in front of Mrs. Liu to say goodbye alone. In this way, just after returning for the first time, everyone could clearly see who was the master and who was the second in the second house.
After Lishu greeted everyone, she stood up and looked at everyone. Mrs. Liu sat at the top. Sitting below to the left was a young woman wearing a Sichuan brocade dress with gold buttons and peony patterns. Her head was surrounded by pearls and emeralds. The most eye-catching thing is the large peony flower inlaid with red gold and rubies. It would look tacky for ordinary people to wear. She was born with a round shape, which gave her an air of wealth. There is no doubt that this is Mrs. Xu, the eldest aunt.
The woman sitting next to Mrs. Xu has a full set of exquisite silver hairpins inlaid with green grass and beads on her head. She has a standard Jingchu pale face, with pink and phoenix eyes and fair skin.
Needless to say, this is the aunt. Her dress is simple and elegant but also luxurious, which is very suitable for her status as a Hanlin wife. The twelve-piece Hunan skirt with grass green embroidered with lake-colored plum blossoms has dense needlework. According to Mother Hu, who taught her needlework, this skirt would probably cost fifty taels, which is still a conservative estimate.
"This is my niece, she is so well-born, I feel happy to see her." Mrs. Xu came out to smooth things over, smiling and holding the hands of Li Jia and others, looking very happy.
Mrs. Xu had only one daughter, Li Zhen, who was younger than Li Rou. When she saw the four girls in the second bedroom, she glanced at them and thought to herself, she didn't expect that the girls in her uncle's family were all very good.
Not to mention Li Jia, who originally looked dignified, there was Li Wan, who had a smile on her face, Li Shu, who was extremely smart, and even Li Rou, who looked blank, had a good appearance.
Mrs. Liu also said to Mrs. Fu: "Second sister-in-law, how do you raise girls? Girls are like water onions. Unfortunately, I don't have the blessing of a daughter. I only have three demon kings. The noise makes me have a headache all day long."
Mrs. Fu was usurped by the younger Mrs. Fu, but seeing that Mrs. Liu was still willing to call her sister-in-law, she felt relieved because she was the first one to come in.
As the saying goes, clay figures also have a certain earthy nature. Little Fu hugged the old man and arranged a bad cabin for her. Now he is deliberately being mean to her. Knowing that her son is dead, she just hugged Shurui to show off in front of the old lady. No matter how good-natured Mrs. Fu is, she still gets angry, and wonders why she is so aggressive.
Just because when she was young, she married Liu Chengxu. Liu Chengxu was an upright person and liked her for being kind and not showing any flaws. Therefore, Mrs. Fu prided herself on being a virtuous woman and corrected many of her problems. Those coquettish and picky people at home changed their minds, but she didn't expect that she didn't change and was still sincere, but Liu Chengxu fell in love with her.
…
Lishu received a meeting gift from her eldest aunt and aunt. She originally thought that her aunt's cold attitude towards her in her previous life would be the same in this life. After all, her aunt and aunt had a better relationship.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu took Lishu's hand and said to Mrs. Liu: "Mom, these three girls really look like the second brother. When you were young, you said that the second brother was the most handsome among us brothers and sisters."
Li Shu suddenly realized that the bustling world was all for profit; the bustle in the world was for gain. Because his mother gave birth to a younger brother and was favored by him, he saw that the old lady treated him differently, and even his aunt changed her direction.
Old Mrs. Liu raised her head and glanced at Li Shu, then said to little Fu, "You really gave birth to a pair of good children. Your daughter is actually a beautiful child, combining the strengths of her father and you."
Little Fu was so happy that she couldn't help but say modestly: "You see how obedient she is now, but you don't know how naughty she is in private. In terms of advantages, among these girls, only the oldest one is Girls are the best, I often ask her to learn from her sisters."
Lishu hurriedly stepped forward to say hello. Seeing that her posture was graceful and her words were particularly smart and full of energy, Mrs. Liu was overjoyed and said: "Brother Xu's daughter-in-law, your son is still young and needs to be taken care of now. Why don't you take care of the three of us?" How about leaving the girl here with me and chatting with me to relieve my boredom?"
Little Fu didn't want to do anything, she just smiled and said: "Since the old lady likes her, let her honor you more on my behalf. My daughter-in-law often said before that she had no chance to be filial to you, but now it's better."
Lishu also knew the benefits. Mrs. Liu came from the Zeng family in Wuxi. Her father once served as an official in the Ministry of Justice. After marrying her grandfather Liu Dongye, she was named a first-class imperial wife and raised by the old lady's side. Her future future The dowry will be different, even if you say it, others will think that your education is better.
This is also why when Little Fu passed away in her previous life, Liu Chengxu wanted to send her to be raised by the old lady, just to increase her own weight enough to marry into the Zheng family.
It's just that the old lady in her previous life chose Lirou for some reason and didn't agree with her choice. But in this life, it's better that Mrs. Liu took the initiative to choose her.
All this comes from your own status. There is no one in the world who doesn't care about others' food.
While Li Shu was sighing, Aunt Ding's knuckles turned white and her face suddenly turned dull. She didn't expect that Mr. Fu was so high-profile about grabbing the position and frivolously pretending to be her son. The old lady in the family didn't think she was restless. , but also to raise Li Shu.
And because she was afraid of the jealousy of Aunt Su and the young Fu family, she only wanted to wait until her status was truly stable and she became pregnant. From then on, her child was the most important thing to the master. Therefore, she borrowed a knife to kill someone to suppress herself, and even let her daughter also Pretending to be dumbfounded, I didn't expect the old lady to even look at him.
What an injustice! Those in power are like blind, only looking at those who like to make excuses. This world is ruined.
