Li Shu didn't care at all about Li Zhen, a little shrimp. She had her own things to do and her own happiness to pursue. The Zheng family may not be perfect, but Mrs. Zheng and Zheng Hao have always been benevolent and righteous regardless of their past lives.
What's more, this marriage was chosen by Mrs. Fu. What she really wanted to do was that she and Zheng Hao could grow old together.
Whether it was for righteousness or filial piety, she would try her best to promote this marriage.
Of course, the premise is that she still has a good impression of Zheng Hao. Otherwise, no matter what little Fu says, if she really hates him, or she hates this person, she will definitely resist it.
If you don't like someone, even if someone mentions his name with yours, you will feel full of resistance.
After getting her haircut, she could no longer take it lightly. Even when her marriage would be decided was not something that her daughter's family should ask. Now she wants to make a name for herself first. In the past, when she was at home, she had been studying in Zeng's family, and later she worked abroad for several years. She was a bit unable to get along in the social circles of Beijing and China.
I heard that Li Zhen went to many poetry and flower banquets during this period, but of course she was anonymous, but she couldn't do this.
During the Chinese New Year, Mrs. Fu took Sister Lishu out. Lishu soon received a message about a poetry banquet hosted by the daughters of her aunt's mother-in-law's family, the Duke of Lu's family.
Because of Lirou's relationship, the relationship between the Liu family and the Geng family is somewhat uneasy, but now the Liu family is very powerful. Since the aunt and others separated, they still have to rely on the Liu family, so the two families have begun to move around again.
Li Shu thought that in fact, people and relationships really depend on interests, and this is true among relatives.
She accepted the post and actually went there next time, but this time she was sitting on the bench first. She had not been in Beijing for a long time and was not familiar with others, but her poems and prose were very fresh.
But even if someone thinks she is good, they will not recommend her.
Just like why Chen Ziang spent a lot of money on the piano, he just has no reputation.
Of course, Li Shu would not have the reputation of spending a lot of money on the piano, but she would definitely want to gain a reputation. Not to mention her, even the imperial examination talents like Zheng Hao and others had to figure out the examiner's mind.
The second time she went there was just a matter of time, and it was still not very impressive, but Lishu was very considerate and brought many gifts. This time she received a post about the third poetry banquet.
Just when the post was received, she was at Mrs. Liu's place. Lizhen also said: "Third sister, we have seen that your behavior at the Zeng family was adequate in the past. We really thought you were good. We never thought you would go here." There is no reputation even after two times, so I might as well be at home, it’s so freezing in the snow and ice.”
"You don't have to worry about it, fifth sister, I have my own way." Li Shu said with a smile.
At this time, another post about the poetry banquet was sent, and the visitor said: "Third Miss, we are inviting you to the flower banquet at Princess Longchang's residence."
Li Zhenxin said that she had also been to Princess Longchang's Mansion, but it was nothing, especially since the daughter of Princess Longchang's Mansion was dark and fat, and looked like a Jianan style.
But last time she was treated coldly by Mrs. Cen and ignored by Mrs. Zheng at Lishu's haircut banquet, which made her hate Lishu, so naturally she would not remind her.
And Lirou has always been "not too busy", and she has never been to the flower banquet at the Princess's Mansion, so she naturally has no way of telling her.
It was after she left that Li Zhencai and Li Rou gloated: "I heard that Princess Longchang's daughter is ugly and jealous. I'm afraid the third girl will hit a brick wall this time."

It's not that Li Zhen belittled Li Shu, but that time she was pulled out to step on Li Shu openly, and she was even treated coldly by the little Fu family.
It's a pity that Li Zhen never guessed that Li Shu went there today, not to write about the scenery, but to admire Princess Longchang's beloved daughter, Li Shouying, the head of Jinxian County.
Princess Longchang was the emperor's sister. I heard her father mention that she was very jealous. When her consort praised the maid's eyes as she walked by, she immediately gouged out the maid's eyes.
In fact, the reason why I posted this post was because I wanted good-looking people like Li Shu to serve as foils.
This is nothing to be ashamed of. In the past, the great poet Wang Wei came to Princess Yuzhen to present poems and play the pipa to her for the imperial examination.
Li Zhen probably thought that she was usually unruly and had a bad temperament, but she didn't know that her real temperament was to succeed in whatever she did, and she would rather do whatever she wanted.
The palace of Princess Longchang was already filled with lights and swaying skirts. When Lishu walked in, she saw a girl with a short figure and dark skin. Even though she was covered with robes, she still felt that her appearance was not outstanding. .
But so what? Li Shouying, the head of Jinxian County, is still sought after by everyone.
Princess Longchang called her daughter to come to her again: "You always complain that I love your sister, but the best marriage is still with you. In the future, when you take over the East Palace, you will be a mother to the world."
Li Shouying was not very satisfied. Dong Gong was weak and average-looking, far less stunning than the crown prince. What's more, she also felt that Dong Gong didn't look like he would live a long life.
But she has always been better at pleasing her mother than her younger sister, so she said: "Mom, my daughter will listen to you. If my daughter really has that day in the future, she will never forget you, mother."
"I don't need anything in return from you. Let's think about how to become famous first. This time I specially invited several famous ladies from Beijing to write poems for you." Princess Longchang said with a smile.
After the mother and daughter finished talking, they saw Mrs. Fu coming with Lishu, and Lishu quickly stepped forward to say hello.
Women always look at women when they see them. Although Princess Longchang had a plain face, she waited for Lishu and her daughter to say goodbye before she said to Li Shouying: "Is that Shaoan girl trying to push someone into the water? It shows that she is a rare person." Beautiful embryo."
"Why would the Zheng family marry Shao An? Both the Zheng and Liu families are from aristocratic families, and sons from aristocratic families usually marry more girls from aristocratic families, especially promising men. Who wants to marry an ancestor? What else does Shao An have besides his status? "Li Shouying looked down upon Princess Shao'an very much.
Princess Longchang nodded: "It's good that you know this. I heard that the emperor in Funing likes scholars very much. If he wants to choose a scholar for Funing this time, I'm afraid he will have to choose one from the new imperial examination. Don't talk to her either. I'm angry, she is a legitimate princess, but marrying her is not as good as marrying Shao'an, at least Yibin doesn't have as many restrictions as a consort."
Li Shouying has a cunning nature and is not a good person, but she is not stupid either.
At least she knows who her opponent is now?
Empress Chi in the palace was very fond of her niece Chi Song, and praised Chi Song for her simplicity, innocence, and virtuous character. This made Li Shouying unconvinced. Princess Longchang naturally wanted to find another way to bribe the emperor heavily to make her daughter the crown princess.
After all, the war is about to break out now. Although Emperor Yongchu doesn't usually fall in love with the court and dotes on his adulterous concubine, he has always strongly supported the war. Princess Longchang has already felt the pulse and sent her to him.
()The money came into the emperor's internal funds.
The harp and sheng had been playing in the flower hall for a long time, and Li Shu was talking to her newly made daughters. Soon Princess Shao'an also came over. She looked at Li Shu with anger and hatred on her face.
Li Shu knew that the more she exposed the situation, the less she dared to take action. After all, she was a girl from the Liu family, not an ordinary citizen.
Therefore, at the beginning of the flower appreciation, Li Shu wrote three poems praising Princess Longchang and Li Shouying.
She even used a poem about Princess Pingyang, mentioning that Princess Longchang used the bright moon to illuminate Longchang, and the princess's true heart illuminated the rising sun. The elegance of the deep palace is difficult to find in the ordinary world, and the elegant posture of the fairy reflects the flowers. The light of wisdom shines through the ages, and benevolence and love nourish the people. His literary talent is as graceful as a lotus flower, and his virtues are noble and transcendent.
Others praised the flowers in the princess's garden, but Lishu certainly didn't come here because of it.
Princess Longchang is the elder sister of the Holy Emperor. She is very good at talking. If she can say a few words for herself, it will be better than others.
And this time will soon be her chance to get ahead, because she knows one thing. The East Palace is selecting the crown princess, and both Li Shouying and Chi Song were selected.
Originally, she was closer to the Chi family, but they occasionally interacted with each other, but they avoided suspicion. It was probably because he was afraid that the emperor would know that the nanny next to Wang Taifei was arranged by Empress Chi to go to the Liu family and deliberately make friends with ministers, so he kept a distance.
Then she would have to take a gamble.
Sure enough, Li Shouying said: "Who composed this song "Partridge Sky"?"
Li Shu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My daughter did it."
Li Shouying looked at Li Shu and said, "The writing is very good."
"Thank you for your compliments, princess. I have a piece of music that I would like to dedicate to you, the county lord." Li Shu said with a smile.
Li Shouying has always loved beauty, especially beauties who have nothing to do with her, and Lishu's dress today is not feminine, but rather looks like a pretty boy, which makes her admire her even more.
Li Shu began to strum the strings, and the originally noisy garden suddenly stopped. Li Shouying sat across from Li Shu, and even she couldn't help but listen.
Suddenly, a scene appeared. Birds were hovering above Li Shouying and Li Shu, and everyone seemed to be watching a strange sight.
The people around Princess Longchang suddenly murmured: "Princess, does this mean that a hundred birds are paying homage to the phoenix?"
As soon as the song stopped, Li Shu quickly bowed and hid in the darkness, while Li Shouying seemed to be among a hundred birds. Little Fu looked at her daughter in confusion: "Why are there so many birds today?"
"Because this is a greenhouse next to the garden, the climate is originally warmer, and all the little birds are hiding here..."
"Why are you doing this?" Little Fu understood.
If she hadn't been suddenly robbed of her bride in her previous life, Li Shu would definitely not be like this, but now she said to little Fu: "Mom, after what happened to Princess Shao'an, my daughter is always a little uneasy. There are so many rich and noble girls in the capital, my daughter Although his family background is good, he is also helpless in the face of power, just like Fourth Brother Zeng. Mr. Zheng Dalang will be named on the gold list soon. I am afraid that more people will take notice of him, so just think that I am unfounded."
Originally, she couldn't tell little Fu about the wedding, so she just used this as an excuse to talk about it.
Little Fu always thought that the Liu family was a prominent family, and now it was not inferior to the Zheng family. She didn't expect that her daughter would be so scared. She thought again of Princess Shao'an's vicious eyes just now.
These days, the Huang nobles, such as Princess Longchang, and others regard human life as nothing more than a piece of grass. It would only take a lot of trouble to deal with these high-ranking people.

Li Shu was still unfazed by the favor, but Liu Chengxu told little Fu: "In the past, Wang Wei's song "Yulun Robe" attracted Princess Yuzhen's attention, so he won the first prize in one fell swoop. However, Du Fu was full of talents, but he did not get it because he paid homage to the powerful. Appreciated by her, she has repeatedly encountered setbacks in the scientific examination. Lishu has just returned from Jining and is not very familiar with her in Beijing, so it is extraordinary to have such an achievement."
"This child said that she was a person who could not be restrained. Instead of living like a fly and a dog all day long, it was better to give in to others. She knew that now the East Palace was selecting the crown prince, and she did not deliberately create auspiciousness. Anyway, she had been in the cold and hot weather in the past few years, so she could attract people. Birds are not unusual either. If Princess Longchang appreciates it, what else can others say?" Little Fu said.
Liu Chengxu felt something was wrong again: "Our family is not from a poor family. Why do you think Li Shu took such a risk? What if the eldest princess of Longchang fails in a few years? Then wouldn't she..."
"Lishu told me not to worry. Princess Shao'an has a grudge against her, but she just won't do it for a while. There is no guarantee that she won't do it in the future. Of course she will have to find someone at a higher level to suppress her." Xiao Fu Shi sighed.
Who is more powerful than Princess Longchang now? She secretly keeps her reputation, but she won't let it go if Li's consort crosses the rules in the slightest. Now, her daughter is obviously not as good as Empress Chi's niece, but she has come from behind. .
Liu Chengxu said: "Isn't this like seeking the skin of a tiger? What if they push her out in the future? It is said that she deliberately created auspiciousness. This is really too risky. Why bother?"
Little Fu suddenly cried: "It's all my fault."
"Alas, wealth is gained in danger, but also lost in danger. When acting as a true man, you should abandon the idea of luck. You must take a hundred and refine it into steel. Only by working in a hurry can you achieve a blockbuster success." Liu Chengxu still feels that his daughter is too adventurous in doing things.
Little Fu said: "She actually read a few words. She has a body like a tiger in the mountains, and a nature like adding fuel to the fire. She is ambitious, bold, and resourceful, and is rescued by people everywhere. She relies on a stick and only two fists. .”
Liu Chengxu laughed loudly after hearing this: "This is how Shi Xiu was described in "Water Margin". I don't think it was all about two fists, but a piece of piano and a good calligraphy, which became her stepping stone."
But Liu Chengxu turned his head again, "But at such a young age, she is so eager for quick success. This reminds me of a person, Xiao Chuo, the Lord of Liao."
Anyone who has seen the generals of the Yang family knows that Xiao Chuo is the Queen Mother Xiao Xiao Yanyan. Young Mrs. Fu looked at her husband and felt like thunder in her heart: "Why do you say that?"
"They are very similar, but my Shu'er has a bodhisattva heart, but Xiao Yanyan is a ruthless person. As the saying goes, an emperor cannot be kind to a woman, but Shu'er still has mercy. If she is really in a high position, she will Life will be very painful." Liu Chengxu has read countless people over the years.
Little Fu also told Lishu this, but Lishu remained silent.
Indeed, she was actually in great pain in Wusun, where the weak preyed on the strong, often killing, and in the army, it was necessary to establish authority, and it was difficult to establish authority without fighting or killing.
But she is not willing to do this selfishly. It seems that everyone around her in a high position cannot be trusted and she plays power games every day.
If hatred hadn't supported her, she would have collapsed long ago. A person lives alone with his children in the grass and snow,
() later came back to clean up her enemies. Anyone who disobeyed her, a foreign woman, had to be eliminated by every possible means. She seemed to have great power, but in fact she was cautious and walked with difficulty.
But she is not a murderous person. She is a person who will feel sad for many years if she takes revenge on Princess Pingning for the first time, and even feels a little uneasy when she thinks about it.
Of course, the Lord of Jinxian County and Princess Longchang made her famous just to show the legitimacy of their becoming the Crown Princess of the East Palace.
After this time, Lishu participated in several poetry banquets one after another, winning three times, and one with the Wu sisters. It wasn't until the New Year that she stayed at home full-time.
Li Zhen, who was originally waiting to see a joke, was scolded by Mrs. Liu instead.
Mrs. Liu has been very strong all her life. Her two sons are very promising, one is the top scholar in martial arts, the other is a second-ranked Jinshi, and their daughter is Mrs. Hanlin.
The guys outside are not her business, but the girls will affect her reputation.
Now Li Shu has only been back for a few days, and she has already won the reputation of a talented girl in the capital. Li Rou is better than her docile nature, but Li Zhen, as the future wife of the prince of the Hou family, has no chance of success.
Mrs. Xu was called and gave a harsh lecture. The old lady sent two more nuns to teach her. Li Zhen started to learn the rules with her eyes open and closed.
Lishu had experienced this kind of life in her previous life. Before she married Zheng Hao, she often didn't go out, so she didn't know how to socialize. The Zheng family also sent her nanny to teach her.
Of course, her wedding date in her previous life was scheduled for August next year. Zheng Hao heard that she insisted on marrying her during the appointment, and was finally recalled by imperial edict.
Although little Fu has not told her about the wedding date now, she will definitely do it earlier in this life.
Mr. and Mrs. Xiao Fu and Liu Chengxu were also thinking about how to speak. After all, they were women and had to remain reserved. They never thought that a matchmaker would come to ask for marriage.
Mrs. Liu listened to the matchmaker and said: "You are from the Korean government. Why don't you first find out that our three girls have been married a long time ago..."
As soon as he finished speaking, several more people came to the door. Some were trying their luck, and some really wanted to get married after hearing about Li Shu's talent.
Mrs. Liu was speechless. People are really afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. However, although the family status of these families is not low, of course, if the family status is too low, the Liu family will not be able to enter.
Therefore, the Liu family was bothered by the matchmaker's visit. It was at this time that the Zheng family came to the door. Mrs. Zheng came to discuss the marriage.
Mr. Fu and Mrs. Zheng chose a few days and decided to set it in March of the coming year. They would try in February and the imperial examination would be around April next year. If Zheng Hao didn't pass the exam, he would still be married, which would be a consolation. If she passes the exam, it will be a double happiness, and her daughter will become the wife of a Jinshi.
Mrs. Zheng also half-truthfully said: "Lishu is so outstanding, I'm really worried that my daughter-in-law will be snatched away."
"No matter what happens, some boring people just come to our house casually without asking. The old lady said that it is not easy to offend the matchmaker, so she sent him away with nice words." Little Fu said with a smile.
In fact, she did force Liu Chengxu to ask for this marriage. She also put in a lot of effort herself, so she always felt inferior. Maybe many people thought that what she valued back then was the Zheng family's family background, but that was not the case. What she valued was Zheng Hao.
My daughter probably thinks that she is so interested in him just because of Zheng Hao's talent and learning, and she will know about it later.
However, it used to be Zheng Jiaqiang
point,
Now my daughter is famous,
Sure enough, it's not quite the same.
Although Mrs. Zheng agreed to the marriage before and was even scolded by her mother-in-law, she actually did it for Liu Chengxu's sake. Otherwise, her son was nineteen when the marriage was discussed, and it was delayed because of filial piety. How could it be delayed.
Nowadays, I know more and more that there is no need to be late for a good meal.
It is said that Princess Longchang has a son who has been suffering from dementia and loves beautiful women. Princess Longchang seems to like Lishu very much, and Mrs. Cen. At the hairpin banquet, she abandoned her daughter-in-law like a worn-out shoe, but treated Lishu very badly. It is loved in every possible way, enough to give clues.
Lishu's wedding date was finally set, and it was set on the Shangsi Festival. It happened that the Shangsi Festival was also a day for sacrifices, banquets, and drinking water.
After setting the date, Li Shu breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, she still tried both ways.
After Naji, there is Nazheng, commonly known as sending marriage certificates and betrothal gifts.
It was at this time that Liwan realized that she was really superficial. She had always thought that she was very rich when she married the second wife of the Zeng family. On the contrary, the Zheng family was a well-known family and might not be as wealthy as the Zeng family. Only now did she realize that The strength of the Zheng family.
As expected of a well-established family, it has a completely different background.
Liwan's original betrothal gift was already large enough, especially the rows of gold needles that were given as a betrothal gift of three thousand taels, which was already dazzling. Now what the Zheng family has sent is the first eight Ruyi jade handles, each of which is priceless. Two hundred kilograms of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, six hundred pieces of silk and satin, and gold ornaments from head to toe. The dragon and phoenix bracelets seem to be free of charge. , all the anklets are prepared.
Not to mention the finest cakes, pastries, seafood, dried fruits, tea, etc.
Lian Lizhen came out to take a look at the excitement and said in disbelief: "Mom, why do the Zheng family have so many betrothal gifts? Is the Zheng family richer than the Zeng family?"
Mrs. Xu said: "If your second aunt and I had not fought like that, the Zheng family has been a wealthy family from the Han Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In other words, they were already one of the three princes in the Han Dynasty. We usually look at those honors. Gui feels extremely wealthy, but the Zheng family has been a wealthy family for thousands of years. It’s just that the more a family like them does, the less likely they are to show their wealth outside. Your second aunt can draw, so she knows how to look at people."
"Business people are afraid that others will not know that they are rich, so they do things in a flashy way, so as to increase their worth and cooperate with some big businessmen. This is the case with the second wife of the Zeng family. But I tell you, businessmen want to get every penny they spend. It’s double the return, it’s hard to say once you’re useless.”
Li Zhen didn't understand and said: "What about the aristocratic family? What difference does this make?"
"Aristocratic families are no different, betrayal is human nature." Mrs. Xu smiled.
In her previous life, Lishu never saw the betrothal gift list because it was given to Aunt Ding and she would not show it to her. Little Fu was different, this was her mother, and these betrothal mothers all told themselves that they knew what to do when they went to Zheng's house.
Lishu didn't expect that the Zheng family would be so solemn. She leaned against Mrs. Fu and said, "Mom, there are so many jade as you wish, which shows that our marriage will go smoothly."
"Yes, did you know that even the Fu family also sent makeup, and it's the same as giving it to your eldest sister? It really surprises me." Little Fu was also a little stunned.
Lishu was puzzled: "People from the Fu family usually don't even pay attention to my birthday. Last time I didn't even have hairpins. This time I haven't even started adding makeup yet, so they sent me these. Why?"
Little Fu didn't understand either.
The Fu family, especially Mrs. Fu, didn't understand either. She asked her second son: "Why did your father tell me to put on makeup like Lijia's?"
Now only the second son is in the Hanlin Academy, and the other sons are of little use.
Second Master Fu said: "Dad is now the second assistant. He has been in the cabinet for several years, but the position of first assistant is firmly occupied by Bai Xingzhong. Bai Xingzhong is very jealous of his father and wants to drive him away. Now because of the three Fu died of illness, and the emperor ordered additional cabinet ministers. When Zheng Shangshu was recommended by the court, as one of the six ministers, he had a vote. Wouldn't it be great if our people could be allowed to join the cabinet as father wished."
In the officialdom, people talk more about interests, so the past grudges with Mr. Fu have long since disappeared, not to mention he said: "Lishu is also my niece!"
Mrs. Fu nodded: "Sending that little thing is nothing, but will Zheng Shangshu listen to your father?"
"Mom, you don't know that Zheng Shangshu is a very righteous man. He has a good relationship with his brother-in-law, and he should treat us as one. Besides, he is in the Ministry of War now, and news of defeat has been spread from the front. If As the chief assistant, my father can still prevent a disaster for him. Bai Xingzhong relied on the emperor to promote him single-handedly, and the emperor is the main priority in everything, so he may not be able to do so."
After hearing this, Mrs. Fu also felt that she was very sure: "The Zheng family is our in-laws after all, and the Minister of Industry is your father's former disciple. When the time comes, let Bai Xingzhong step down as soon as possible."
Mr. Fu smiled and said: "Yes, the Zheng family is our in-laws, and the Liu family is also our in-laws. They are so unbreakable, how can that man in Bai Xing win over."!
