After the disaster, Zheng Hao asked Li Shu to report to the government. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, he took Li Shu and Zheng Qing back home. Lishu sent someone back to her parents' house to ask how the old lady was doing. Mother Wei personally sent someone out to talk to Shuiyun.
"Grandma, Mother Wei said that the old lady is fine. The old lady is with her. The old lady always has many guards."
"I feel relieved that my grandfather is here."
His grandfather, Liu Tianye, was born as a martial scholar. He was once the governor of the left and the commander of the Jinyi Guard. When he was the same age as his uncle, he was already the commander.
Shui Yun added: "It is said that the last time I accompanied the old lady to the village, Aunt Ding accompanied her and took care of the old lady all the way. Maybe the servant was overthinking it. Maybe Aunt Ding wanted to start with the old lady."
Li Shu pursed her lips: "Don't think too much. Aunt Ding has done this once a few years ago. She is getting older, but not very big. As my father's only aunt now, she has some ideas. It's normal, but she doesn't understand my grandmother or my father."
For her father's sake, my grandmother could even endure Fu's indiscretion, and for the sake of the Fu family's status, she was willing to accept Fu. Even if Aunt Ding was humble, she could not impress her. If she had not been pregnant in her previous life, her grandmother would not have treated Li Even if you hold her softly under your knees, you won't think highly of Aunt Ding.
Dad has no romantic feelings for Aunt Ding, and now Aunt Ding's family is also in decline.
Shui Yun said: "Actually, I heard that the fourth girl didn't seem to listen to Aunt Ding as much as usual. The slave's aunt was a mother-in-law at Aunt Ding's place. She said that when she saw the fourth girl last month, she seemed to have a dispute with Aunt Ding. .”
"No wonder Lirou has changed now. If she always does what Aunt Ding did, I think she will be doomed." Li Shu said coldly.
Mrs. Zheng knew what Lishu had done, so she pulled her and looked up and down: "Good boy, I'm sorry for you. It's really too dangerous. I'll stay at home from now on. If you go out, ask Da Lang to accompany you. It's safe this way." point."
"Yes, mother, I'm still scared when I think about it now." Li Shu said carefully.
In fact, she wasn't that scared. Although she was a little scared at the time, as she directed them to victory, some of them were just slightly excited.
But she couldn't bear it if she was kept in such fear every day.
When Mrs. Zheng saw Li Shu like this, she said, "I'll have someone nurse you back over the next few days. Are you scared, Brother Qi?"
"He is more courageous than me. I am surprised that he didn't cry."
"Then he is really calm."
Mrs. Zheng treasured her little grandson more and more. After Lishu finished here, she went back to her room and wrote a long letter to her mother. She told her everything about her father's backyard and what happened at home. I told you everything that happened around me.
After writing it, have it sent to Hedao Yamen.
a few months later
In the Hedao Yamen, little Mrs. Fu was doing needlework. She knew that her grandson was born, and her daughter even drew a picture for the couple to satisfy their craving. Therefore, in her spare time, she made clothes for her grandson Qi Geer. Anyway, her two sons are studying now, so she doesn't have to worry about them every day and has more free time during the day.
Danhong came in from outside: "Madam, there is a letter from our girl in Jingli."
Mrs. Fu immediately stood up from the table and was satisfied when she saw the thick stack of letters.
After opening the letter and reading it, sometimes her brows slightly raised, sometimes her lips raised, little Fu said at the end: "Where does this damn girl get so much miscellaneous information every day?"
Dan Hong thought to herself, Madam, you are also very willing to see it, and you can't wait to take a look at it.
Little Mrs. Fu pointed at the letter and said: "How can this girl be so courageous? She dares to confront other bandits, use chili oil and mouse traps to deal with others, and she also knows what outflanking and flanking are. Our family has really wronged this female general. ”
Danhong and Danqing both laughed, and felt like they were watching a legend.
And Mrs. Fu thought of all the things written about Aunt Ding in the letter. She didn't mention anything about it. It was normal for the back house to compete for favors as long as they didn't harm anyone. She can't underestimate her enemies, but at the same time, she can't be too nervous about anyone.
A few days ago, someone gave a pair of orchids to Liu Chengxu, but Liu Chengxu gave them away. In fact, he was not very lecherous at first, but now he and Mr. Fu are inseparable, and their relationship has not changed for decades. How can he still look at her in his eyes? There are others.
What she is worried about now is her husband's temper. He did not deal with the people left by Zhu Shangshu in the Hedao Yamen. Liu Chengxu has always been honest, does not take any penny, and has a hard temper. Although he has built the river very well, he is not a good official in the officialdom. I have always shown myself to be straight-tempered, but I don’t know what to do?
…
However, she said that Lishu went back to her parents' house to see Mrs. Liu again. Lishu knew that Mr. Liu was staying with Mrs. Liu. In fact, the couple had been living separately. Mrs. Liu loved peace and quiet, and was usually served by Aunt Hua. Mrs. Liu was very interested in Aunt Hua. Also quite polite.
But whenever there is an important moment, Mr. Liu will always stay by Mrs. Liu's side. This couple is also very magical.
"Grandma, are you okay?"
Mrs. Liu was leaning on the pillow behind her. When she saw Li Shu coming over, she couldn't help laughing and said, "I heard about you. You kid is too courageous."
"Yes, you are lucky to have met someone who is not a vicious and powerful martial artist. Otherwise, what would you have done?" Old Mrs. Liu said.
It was Mrs. Liu who stopped her: "Doesn't this just show that the third girl is a very lucky person?"
Lishu was told by the two elders and admitted her own recklessness: "I thought of rushing out just like that, and I also took Brother Qi with me. The group of people were too eye-catching, so I turned against the rat. It's better to fight for it." .”
Of course, Li Shu was afraid that the elders would continue to nag, so she smiled and said, "It's okay that I'm an adult, but Brother Qi doesn't cry. I really think this kid is stupid and bold."
"How foolish and bold are you to say that about your son?" Mrs. Liu poked Li Shu's forehead.
Li Shu added: "Brother Qi is learning to walk now. He can stand on a chair for a while every day, and his parents can clearly call him. He will be one year old next month, and his grandfather and grandmother must go."
Nowadays, the two old people rarely go out, especially Mrs. Liu, who rarely goes out except to accompany Mrs. Liu. Now that she has received Lishu's invitation, she is willing to go.
When she was about to leave, she saw Mrs. Xu coming. She had not seen her aunt for several months, and Mrs. Xu looked a little haggard.
Although Lishu didn't show much emotion, she asked: "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Xu is not very popular in the Liu family. She is still the eldest lady no matter what. Although Aunt Hu is a demon, her status as a wife and concubine is different. The most she can do is ask for clothes and jewelry. This also affects
Not even a cent less than Mrs. Xu.
No matter what she is,
She is also the eldest lady in the family.
Of course, it is said that Mrs. Liu and she had some disagreements over the dowry matter.
But Mrs. Liu is also a decent person and cannot scold her daughter-in-law every day. Besides, she is old and the most she can do is let Zeng Yingxiu be the housekeeper like now.
But at Mrs. Xu's age, housekeeping is already difficult, and Zeng Yingxiu is an open-minded person and will not step on Mrs. Xu too much.
Of course Mrs. Xu would not say anything to Li Shu, only that she had not slept well. Zeng Yingxiu told her, and Shuyi's daughter-in-law Jiang was also here, because Shuyi was studying in the Imperial College, and now her daughter-in-law was back. .
Mrs. Jiang was chosen by Mrs. Fu. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along very well in Jining, and Mr. Jiang was particularly concerned about Li Shu.
"The fifth sister and the fifth brother-in-law had a quarrel, and the fifth brother-in-law went to the border again. She was alone in the Hou Mansion, but she was not as popular as her sister-in-law." Zeng Yingxiu used to think that the girl from the Liu family was really a personal spirit.
The fact is indeed the case, whether it is Lijia Liwan who shows no trace of anything, her skills are superb, her housekeeper is clever, and she is all-rounded, or Li Shu is outstanding in everything, and even Lirou can actually get better and better with her husband under Mrs. Wu. Ke Lizhen seemed to be the most powerful, but unexpectedly she was the least effective.
In a place like the Marquis Mansion, the superiors cannot handle the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the subordinates cannot control the concubines, and the concubines are yelled at in anger.
The latest news is that Li Zhen wanted to get past her sister-in-law, and she also wanted to frame someone, destroy someone else's birthday gift, and was caught and exposed. Zeng Yingxiu said this in a vague way, but Jiang and Li Shu made it clear.
Li Shu was not surprised at all. Li Zhen had destroyed her guqin when she was a child. It is true that a person's nature cannot be changed easily.
She wanted to say in her heart that she deserved it, but she couldn't say it in front of her two sisters-in-law.
Unexpectedly, she would soon know who Lin Taoer was. This year was the birthday of the Marquis of Guangyang, and Li Shu and Zheng Hao were also invited.
Mrs. Zheng had already prepared the birthday gift, and said to Li Shu: "Marquis Guangyang was also a well-known hero in the past. When your grandfather went to the front line as a military supervisor, he had some friendship with Marquis Guangyang."
Da Qi used culture to control military affairs, and the seven-rank officers were always inferior to the county magistrates. This was the rule of officialdom.
It's no wonder that Mrs. Zheng's birthday gifts were generous, and Mrs. Tan also went with her. Seeing that Qiu Rulong's matter had nothing to do with her, Mrs. Tan let go of the anxiety in her heart, and now she wholeheartedly guards Zheng Qing. Zheng Qing now sees the next one. You can go back to the house three to five times a month, and the two of you can have fun in the boudoir on weekdays.
When Li Shu and Mrs. Tan were staying together, she met Mrs. Cen first before meeting Li Zhen's people.
If Mrs. Wu is said to be controlling, Mrs. Cen is a master at seizing power. Normally at her age, power would be delegated to a young daughter-in-law to take charge of the house, but she still insists on taking over the power. All guests must see her first.
"Mrs. Cen, this is my younger sister-in-law." Li Shu introduced her to Tan.
Mrs. Tan quickly stepped forward to greet Mrs. Cen. Mrs. Cen saw that the two daughters-in-law of the Zheng family were very smart. When she thought of her own daughter-in-law, she felt a headache.
Tan and Lishu looked very friendly outside. Lishu wore wide sleeves today and wore tassels on the sleeves. Tan helped her smooth them, and the sisters-in-law even whispered to each other, which made the Cen family even more worried. Slander.
"I think her third sister gets along well with the family. Why is our Crown Prince's wife like this?"
"That's right, the sister-in-law ruined someone else's birthday gift."
…
At this moment, someone outside said: "Second Grandma is here."
Li Shu also looked outside the door. She was really curious about how Lin Taoer saw through Li Zhen's trick and caught her. !
